Chapter 5: I don't want to know
"Hey, hey..."
"Oh oh oh... Be... Yes, yes..."
"Of course I do, that little brother from the park!"
In the dimly lit office, Tamaru had a strange smile on his face as he chatted on the phone. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
"I don't understand it on the phone, the pay is really high, and the guarantee is more than twice what you are working now, and it's cash!"
"Ah, with friends, no problem. Then the two of you can work as a team for a week!"
IN THE PARK, JIN HANGS UP THE PHONE AND TOSSES IT TO K.
K hurriedly answered the phone and muttered dissatisfiedly, "How did you find the business card..."
JIN SHOOK HIS HEAD AND SAID, "LET'S GO, LET'S GO, LET'S FIND OUT WHAT'S GOING ON." β
THE CAR QUICKLY ARRIVED AT THE LOCATION, AND JIN'S EYES FELL ON A GROUP OF YOUNG PEOPLE IN FRONT OF HIM, AND IN THE DIM LIGHT, THEY SEEMED TO BE WAITING FOR SOMETHING.
"Are they also waiting for work?"
K looked up for a moment, and while unbuckling his seat belt, he replied, "Yes... These guys have to look for this kind of job for cash. β
"For cash?"
"These guys don't qualify for credit cards, they only earn cash. β
According to the report, each of the murdered Hopeless suddenly earned a large amount of cash before they died, and this incident must have something to do with Tamaru. β
JIN THOUGHT FOR A MOMENT AND ASKED, "I SAID... Why did you choose to be an agent?"
"Hmm... Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"
"Why do you do this dangerous work, to defend the planet?"
K smiled silently, waved his hand, and said, "In that case, the money given is too little." β
"SO IT'S OUT OF SOME KIND OF CONVICTION," JIN GUESSED.
"Of course..."
A car quickly came from the corner, and was parked on the side of the road where the group of young people were standing, seeing this scene, K's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly pushed the car doorway:
"It's coming... Keep up!"
JIN ALSO HURRIEDLY OPENED THE CAR DOOR AND WAS ABOUT TO FOLLOW, BUT THE MYSTERIOUS WOMAN IN WHITE APPEARED ASIDE, HER EYES LOOKED AT JIN WORRIEDLY, AND ADMONISHED:
βJIN... Beware..."
In her eyes, there was a deep worry that could not be concealed, and the concern of words seemed to be a couple.
BUT JIN DIDN'T HAVE MUCH TIME TO PAY ATTENTION TO THIS, JUST NODDED, QUICKLY CLOSED THE CAR DOOR, AND HURRIED OVER.
The compartment of the van was opened, people walked inside, and when everyone was inside, the man in the suit closed the compartment.
Immediately, the truck began to drive to an unknown location.
The chandelier above the head kept shaking as the truck moved, and people sat casually in the carriage, but it was quiet and there was no conversation.
K looked a little anxious and said, "Didn't tell us where we were going..."
JIN NODDED, DIDN'T SPEAK, JUST WAITED QUIETLY.
No matter how long the journey is, there will always be an end, and you have already come, so you just need to wait quietly for the destination at the end to appear.
The shaking of the carriage stopped, and soon the man in the suit opened the door and waved his hand inside, motioning for them to come out and follow.
There were no street lights around, so it was very dim, but it seemed to be some kind of factory or something, and Jin looked twice, and then followed the back of the line with K.
Footsteps echoed through the dimly lit hallway, followed by a descent of stairs, and before long, an underground area appeared in front of everyone.
In the corner of the space, near the corner of the staircase, is a small office area, and Tian Maru is sitting on the side.
When he saw JIN, he looked very happy, dropped the pen in his hand, stepped forward and said:
"Oh... Welcome, welcome, little brother is here!"
Looking at JIN and K, he smiled and said, "Sure enough, adults need to work!"
Habitually jumping on the spot, the smile on the corner of Tian Maru's mouth was overflowing, and he said, "You want to make money, right!?"
K leaned against the counter and said, "Of course I want to!"
βGOODοΌβ
Tian Maru took a step forward, pressed his hands on the counter, looked at K and said, "I just like you to be so straightforward!"
"It's settled on the same day, right?" K looked around and said, "Tell us about the job!"
"Ha~ Of course!" Tian Maru nodded and said:
"You can't escape work!"
"There are two choices for today's work, and you can choose which one to do. β
K asked, "What kind of work is that?"
Tian Maru's fingers shook and said:
"One is low-paying, but risk-free work, which is manual labor!"
"The other is a high-paying, happy, but risky job, doing mental work!"
Tian Maru picked up the teacup on the side and took a sip of water, and said:
"As you know, in this day and age, mental work is much more paid than manual work!"
"Which one do you want to choose?"
"Mental work... WHAT KIND OF RISKS ARE THERE?" SAID JIN, LOOKING AT TAMARU.
"It's not a big risk~" Tian Maru put down the teacup and waved his hand:
"I may not be able to tell you here, so I'll lead you to take a look before deciding!?"
IN THE FACTORY THAT WAS RUNNING ALL NIGHT, FROM TIME TO TIME A PERSON IN A HAZMAT SUIT WALKED BY, AS IF IT WAS A JOB IN THE PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY, AND JIN WATCHED THE STAFF LEAVE.
And Tian Maru, who walked in front, introduced:
"We're still expanding, and everything is still evolving!"
Passing through a walkway, Tamaru stopped and looked at the work area not far away, saying;
"This is it!"
JIN and K both stopped, just looking up.
"That's..."
It was a huge machine, with three openings glowing yellow, and in the hallway, there were staff in yellow and white hazmat suits, who were busy nervously, their job seemed to be to keep the machine running, and it was all manual work.
Tamaru introduced, "The first job is to participate in the production of this!"
JIN TURNED TO LOOK AT TAMARU AND ASKED, "WHAT KIND OF DEVICE IS THIS?"
The smile on Tamaru's face froze, and he looked at JIN strangely and asked, "Why do you want to know?"
K ALSO TURNED HIS HEAD, AND JIN SAID, "IF... If you don't even know what you're making, you won't be able to work. β
The corners of Tamaru's mouth twitched, and he looked at him strangely.
"Ahh Really?"
"It's the first time I've heard of this argument... Why do you want to know what you're making? What you need is cash, and what I need is your labor, it's essentially just a process of exchanging cash for your labor, why do you want to know the purpose of the work?"
"Even in Japan's labor law, we have the right to know. β
Tian Maru shook his head and said, "You're just a stray dog in society, aren't you?
He smiled and continued: "Actually, I gave you such a job, didn't I? If it weren't for me, it would be impossible for you to even have enough to eat, so you can only stay in that little park day and night to sleep and starve." β
"But..."
Tian Maru waved his hand and said: "That's it, look at them, they never want to know what to make, they just want to complete their work, so that they can get money, how good." β
As he spoke, he waved his hand at a staff member, called him over, and asked him on the spot.
"What's your name?"
"Ryosuke... Ryosuke Okuda. The man in the protective suit couldn't see clearly, but in front of Tian Maru, he couldn't help but hunch his waist, showing a very humble appearance.
"Do you know what this is going to make?" Tamaru asked casually, buttoning his nostrils.
"I don't know," Ryosuke Okuda replied.
JIN COULDN'T HELP BUT ASK, "I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO MAKE, SO HOW DARE YOU WORK HERE?"
Ryosuke Okuda looked at JIN strangely and said, "What's the matter? I'm just doing my job so I can get paid, and as for what to make, what obligation do I have to know?"
"Even if it's something harmful?" K interjected.
"Then what's my business, the government doesn't care about us, it was Mr. Tamaru who provided us with this job, that's enough, we can't even eat, we don't even have a place to sleep, but you ask us to think about other people's affairs, what is this?"
Saying that, Ryosuke Okuda guessed:
"You must be some rich kids, right, but you're just short of money and want to find a job, so you can't let go of this idea. When you're like us, you don't have enough to eat, you don't have enough to wear, you don't have a place to sleep, and your pockets are tight, you'll know!"
Tamaru flicked his nose, waved his hand to let Ryosuke Okuda leave, and then looked at JIN and K with a smile, and said:
"So you two, do you want to go ahead and see the second job?"
