"The internal division of the Demon Eradication Hall is roughly divided into an administrative office, a medical office, a logistics office, a food and lodging area, and a training area including a shooting range and an enclosed special training ground. ”

On the bluestone path next to the school field, Xu Liang, who left the shooting range, led Yue Zheng all the way like a tour guide, pointing to the buildings passing by by from time to time and introduced:

"The place where the formalities and files are recorded is the Administration Department. Some of the people in the administration department are administrative staff who have been delegated by the demon eradication agency at the next higher level. These people generally do not participate in battles, and are mainly responsible for archival records, personnel changes, liaison with higher-level demon slayer organizations, and recording the combat exploits of our people, so that they can exchange various special materials and equipment from the demon slayer association, such as my demon hunting gun. ”

Yue Zheng looked at the buildings Xu Liang pointed to, silently wrote them down in his heart, and then asked:

"Meritorious service is earned by dealing with out-of-control and mutant events, right?"

"Of course. ”

Xu Liang nodded:

"Each team will get a corresponding merit record when they deal with the out-of-control mutation event in their jurisdiction, and the higher the level of trickiness in handling the event, the higher the merit will be, and of course, the higher the risk they will take, as you will know later. ”

Each squad?

Yue Zheng's eyes moved:

"Then how many demon slayers are there in the Demon Slayer Hall now?"

Xu Liang patiently replied: "Huaran County's Demon Elimination Hall, so far, there are more than 100 personnel on the staff, except for doctors, guards, logistics, and administrative personnel, less than half of them belong to front-line combatants. Among the more than 50 combatants, the reserve demon slayer accounts for more than half, including when you first joined, you also started from the reserve, and when you have reached the advanced breathing method and accumulated a certain amount of merit, you can apply to become an official demon slayer. ”

Fifty or so demon slayers...... The reserve makes up more than half of the ...... Those who have practiced the advanced breathing method can become official demon slayers......

The population of Huaran County is about three or four hundred thousand, and Yue Zheng doesn't know whether this number is more or less: "Is fifty or so demon slayers enough to deal with all the situations?"

"According to the words of a team of five people, ten teams can basically cover the entire Huaran County, but it is also a little difficult. ”

Xu Liang shook his head:

"But there is no way, except for the institutions directly under the Demon Eradication Association, the expenses of other demon exterminating institutions are borne by the local finance, Huaran County is not a rich place, and it really can't afford to raise more demon exterminators. ”

I see.

Yue Zheng suddenly understood.

Through the previous lieutenant of the tiger, he learned that the monthly salary of the demon slayer is very high, and the demon slayer in the reserve has a level of 100 silver dollars, especially in this high-risk profession, and even a one-time monthly salary of ten times as a pension for accidental death, and a person will have to calculate it to exceed 1000 silver dollars, which is only based on the standard of the reserve demon slayer.

And according to the probability that the death rate of the demon exterminator is more than one-fifth, the pension of the demon exterminator alone costs more than 5,000 silver dollars every year, and it is no wonder that this small county town cannot afford to raise more demon exterminators.

"This is it. ”

In this way, while the two were talking, they had already come to a two-story building that looked a little imposing, and Xu Liang walked straight in with Yue Zheng.

The interior of the administration building is decorated in a quaint style, with wooden floors in the corridors flanked by office offices that occasionally come and go with men and women in uniform in a bustling scene.

Walking all the way to an office at the end of the hallway, Xu Liang knocked on the door, and then pushed the door in after getting a response:

"Anya, the newcomer to our team is here, his information should have been reviewed, right?"

Yue Zheng followed in, and after seeing the desk, a dignified and beautiful young woman raised her head, and looked over Xu Haoqi:

"This is the special newcomer you reported that day, and you're reporting so soon?"

Anya obviously knew about Yue Zheng's deeds, she leaned down to open the cabinet at her feet, and took out a stack of papers:

"Fortunately, I'm ready, this is the contract, as long as you sign it, you can send the original directly back to the general association and register it. ”

At Xu Liang's suggestion, Yue Zheng stepped forward, took the document in Anya's hand and quickly flipped through it, and then found that in addition to the information of himself and his family, it mainly explained the salary, welfare, and bereavement standards for joining the demon exterminator, as well as the duties and obligations to be assumed.

In particular, it is emphasized that once you join, you are not allowed to withdraw easily without the permission of the Demon Exorcist Association, except for unexpected circumstances such as disability.

It's equivalent to a deed of sale...... But we are also in the system in this world......

sighed casually in his heart, Yue Zheng didn't care too much, and immediately pressed the handprints on the paperwork.

"Congratulations on becoming a member of the Demon Slayer. ”

Anya smiled and put away the paperwork, then took out a delicate silver waist tag from the drawer and handed it over:

"This is the corresponding identification card, with your number on it, and you can go to the logistics office to get your uniform and weapon with this. Pay attention to the waist card and never lose it, otherwise it will bring a lot of unnecessary trouble. ”

"Thank you. ”

After thanking him, Yue Zheng took the waist card, and at the same time returned Xu Liang's waist card to the original owner.

The formalities have been completed, Xu Liang smiled and said:

"Let's go, let's go to the vault and see what you're most interested in, and then go pick up your gear at the end. ”

Vault?

Yue Zheng, who couldn't wait for a long time, nodded happily, and under the leadership of Xu Liang, the two quickly left the administrative department, and they didn't go far before they came to a lonely red brick hut.

Knock, knock, knock.

At the knock on the door, an old voice in the room said:

"Come in. ”

Yue Zheng followed Xu Liang into the room and found that the small room was simply furnished, with a table, a reclining chair, a teapot, and a sleepy old man lying on a rattan chair.

The old man was about fifty or sixty years old, wearing a blue robe, like an old scholar lecturing in a private school, and behind him, there was a tunnel leading to the underground, and an iron door was tightly closed.

"Old Qin. ”

Seeing this old man, Xu Liang said respectfully:

"This is the newcomer Yue Zheng who just arrived, and I took him to choose two self-defense skills. ”

"Is that the lucky boy who resisted the pollution on his own?"

The old man on the recliner opened his cloudy eyes and looked at Yue Zheng beside Xu Liang with interest:

"Very well, give me your waist card. ”

Although he didn't know the specific identity of this old man, judging from Xu Liang's attitude, he was obviously not a simple person, and Yue Zheng immediately handed over the waist card he had just gotten in his hand.

"Wait a minute. ”

Taking Yue Zheng's waist card, the old man known as Qin Lao didn't say much, and immediately got up and opened the mysterious iron door leading to the underground behind him, and then walked in.

Behind the iron gate was pitch black, making it impossible to see what was going on inside, Yue Zheng listened to the footsteps of the old man getting farther and farther away, as if going deep into the ground, and suddenly lowered his voice and asked curiously:

"Brother Xu, what is this secret vault for? and who is this Qin Lao?"

Xu Liang explained in a low voice:

"Vaults are generally used to store some special materials. For example, the rare cultivation materials, special weapons and equipment distributed by the higher-level demon slaying institutions, as well as some secret books of advanced breathing methods and secret techniques and killing moves. ”

"This Qin Lao, in fact, is the senior demon slayer who retired from the front line of the previous generation, and he once made great achievements, but because of his age and old injuries, he is no longer suitable for fighting on the front line, so the Demon Slayer Hall arranged for him to retire and retire for the rest of his life.

But don't look at this Qin Lao has retreated into the background, his experience and strength are definitely second to none in the current Demon Exterminator Hall, even if it is a formal Demon Exterminator like me, he will definitely not be able to make a few moves in his hands. ”

This old man is so powerful?

Xu Liang, the official demon slayer, Yue Zheng had felt it somewhat, and he couldn't help but be slightly surprised when he heard this.

However, he vaguely heard footsteps in the underground passage walking back, and he didn't ask any more questions. And it didn't take long for him to see Qin Lao walking out of the dark passage with a thin stack of books.

"Young man, according to the rules, every newly joined reserve demon slayer can choose two basic self-defense skills, and the qualified exercise secret books are here. ”

Elder Qin put a stack of books on the table and motioned to Yue Zheng:

"The first one above is a list of secret books I listed, and the characteristics of each practice secret book are roughly indicated on it, so as not to be confused, you can choose slowly. ”

How many of them?

Yue Zheng took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, and immediately picked up the first directory and flipped through it.

There are only a few articles in the directory, and there are dense fly-headed small blocks on it, which are divided into external skills, body methods, and fighting and killing moves.

Among them are:

"Yi Tendon Forging Bone Gong": Boiling bones, cultivating to a high level, the cultivator is reinforced and iron-bone, and the strength is incomparable.

"Iron Body Gong": Constantly temper the flesh and blood of the skin, and cultivate to the point of great success, the cultivator's body is like iron, which greatly improves the defense.

"Horizontal Practice of the Golden Bell": Protective hard qigong, tempering the protective qi in a special way, practicing to a high degree of unloading and shocking, ordinary swords are difficult to hurt.

"Swimming": light footwork, dexterity and change, moving like a ghost, elusive between square inches.

"Sky Splitting Knife": Knife killing moves, knife moves are as fast as thunder, and practicing to Dacheng killing moves can trigger a scream that breaks the sky and shocks people's hearts.

"Blood Spilling Gun": Assassination killing moves, sharp and ruthless moves, guns like dragons, one-hit kills, pay attention to the ultimate precision and speed.

"Rouyun Swordsmanship": A swordsmanship with both offense and defense, with ethereal, indefinite and intangible, difficult to guard against.

"Mad Demon Hammer Method", "Divine Palm Eight Fights", "Flowing Cloud Body Method", "Blood Knife Technique", "Fuhu Fist Method", ......

The explanations and introductions of one after another practice secret books were revealed in front of Yue Zheng's eyes, as if a windfall had fallen from heaven, and the strong surprise and excitement could not be concealed at all:

This step of joining the Demon Slayer Hall is really the right one!
