Chapter 58: Government District (5/24)

On 1 September, the first day of the punctual end of Storm Week, the entire Tallinn district was finally saved from the humid environment by the sun.

In the northern port of Tallinn, Donald avoided a few puddles and held a note in his hand with some precautions that Di Lia said yesterday, although he had memorized it, it was a good habit to glance at it before the event.

The ship with the government insignia was already moored in the harbor, and it was clearly a little higher than the ships that Donald had been on before.

There were quite a few strangers who came, and in the time that Donald was standing here, he had already seen more than a dozen people boarding the ship.

Joining the Abnormal Investigation Bureau is something that many strangers have been pursuing, and obtaining the status of a government official can be regarded as holding an iron rice bowl.

Not all aliens want to fight for their lives on the outside, and they always have to take advantage of the opportunity twice a year.

Donald raised his hand and pressed his silk top hat, and walked over to the government ship on the docks, where there were two men in civilian clothes, presumably from the Bureau of Investigation, who each held a piece of cardboard in their hands, and each of them asked for their names and made a note of them.

He took out the badge that the Bureau had given him before and handed it over, and the person on the right took the badge in his hand and flipped through the pages.

"Name?"

"Donald Grant. ”

"Mr. Grant...... Indeed, there is your name, inscriptionist, go up. ”

Ticking a line on the back of a page with a pen, the recorder looked at Donald before handing the ring back.

He knew what it meant for this kind of people to be recorded in advance, as long as they didn't suddenly die on the ship, then it would be no surprise that they would all be directly selected into the Bureau of Anomalies, which is the so-called internal personnel.

Donald waited for nearly half an hour before the ship set sail, and along the way he was also observing the other people on the ship, and a considerable number of them were a little nervous, which was roughly manifested in talking to people everywhere, talking about the rules and regulations of the Bureau of Abnormal Investigation and the examination items they were taking when recruiting.

Donald thought that the process of selecting people in the Bureau of Aliens was to find a place for the aliens to go up and show their personal abilities, but now listening to these people talk about the content, in addition to the ability display that will definitely be there, there are actually written tests and psychological tests.

The former tests the knowledge of the aliens, mostly some common sense of battle and how to deal with these aspects in the face of some situations that may occur in the case.

The latter is the most important part of the three programs, the personal psychological test, and the government wants people who are mentally sound, people who are willing to follow the rules and regulations, not a bunch of mentally disordered, uncontrollable madmen or sadists...... Not even against prisoners.

If the church uses faith as a criterion for a special department, then the government uses a mature examination system to screen it.

If you don't pursue 100% compliance, you can at least ensure that most of the people in the team are normal.

This screening system must also be relatively strict, after all, there is no requirement of faith, all aliens can participate in the screening, and if the Abnormal Investigation Bureau does not want its team to become mixed, it is bound to increase the requirements.

With this figured out, it is not surprising that Donald looked at these nervous-looking people again.

It's like we're taking an exam....... It's just that the age of these "candidates" is somewhat unbalanced.

However, there are those who are nervous before the exam, and naturally there are some "candidates" who are relaxed and don't care, and Donald also sees some of them.

There are not many of them, but they tend to be the most conspicuous ones in a small group that is chatting, partly because of their expressions, and partly because of their tone that easily draws some unconfident people over.

There are three main reasons why these people are so relaxed:

One is that they have absolute confidence in their own strength, believing that as long as they appear in the examination room of the Heterogeneous Bureau, they will be admitted.

The second is that these people, like Donald, have personal specialties, inscriptions, potions, and equipment production, and belong to the part of people who have obtained qualifications in advance.

The third is the most common situation among this group of people, relying on their family background and background to enter the Heterogeneous Bureau, not to mention their ability for the time being, at least they themselves do not need any tests, because the people above them have already cleared all the tricks.

In Deria's admonition, the third type of people is emphasized, and if it is not necessary, never get too close to them!

Donald didn't ask why, because he knew why.

These people entered the Bureau of Anomalies by virtue of their background, which means that they themselves represent a certain party, a certain faction, and they did not enter the Bureau to have a job or anything to uphold justice in Demingham.

It is likely that they came in with some requirements of the family, and if they associate with these people, they will be invisibly branded.

It's not about what you say to him, it's about what you talk to him.

In the eyes of some well-intentioned people, this is cooperation.

Or rather, attachment.

Donald is a free man, as in the Synod profile, he has no power, no attachments, and he is a sought-after inscriptionist.

So he must keep a distance from these people to prevent himself from being inexplicably labeled and "been" a person of such and such a family, such and such a force.

Donald looked at the tall buildings as the boat sailed all the way through King's Sparrow Island, thinking that there was a chance to come and take a stroll here, because it was a little undesirable to have been to Dmingham for so long that he hadn't even been to the most prosperous commercial center.

And on the outskirts of the King's Sparrow district, Donald was somewhat surprised to see the boiling sea train tracks that had been circulating in Dmingham recently.

Hearing that the trial operation of the Wangque District will begin some time after the rainstorm week, Donald previously thought that it was a connection between the maritime urban areas, but now it seems that it is just a new transportation track built around the Wangque District.

Will people who can enter the Kingbird District to shop without a car?

This is really a problem.

However, like much of the world, even if the rich don't have access to public facilities at all, they still have to try these good things first, otherwise they don't respect the rights of these high taxpayers.

After passing through Wangque Island, you can see the urban situation of the government district.

The headquarters of the Bureau of Anomalies is located in the government district, which is also a place that Donald has never visited, but fortunately it is not far from Tallinn, which is only half an hour's journey.

In fact, Donald was a little puzzled at first about the Bureau's deliberate boat pick-up, why did he have to take a boat to a place where he could be directly reached by car on land?

When he got closer, he realized that the location of the Anomalies was on the side of the government district, and if he came from the land, he might have to go through a large number of government parts, and if something happened at that time, it would be a big problem, after all, there was no decent inspection when boarding the ship.

In order to ensure the effectiveness of the assessment, the Bureau of Abnormal Investigation allows all outlaws to carry personal weapons, which are murder weapons.

On another note, Donald only discovered after the ship docked that the harbor they were about to land was already full of heavily armed soldiers on both sides of the harbor.

It is self-evident what to do, it is nothing more than to get off the horse.

They didn't look like they were here for an exam, more like a bunch of prisoners being escorted here, and the atmosphere was obviously not bad, at least Donald noticed that some of the people around him were talking a little quieter.

"After getting off the boat, follow us, do you see the soldiers outside? Among them, there are also members of our Abnormal Investigation Bureau, I will put the words in front first, whoever makes a small move during the march, we will not give you any chance to explain, kill on the spot!"

Sure enough, before the ship could get off the boat, the two recorders from before stood on the deck and warned.

At this time, there was no blind rebuttal to them, no matter how much they looked down on these two recorders, there was a whole armed team standing outside.

There will be exams later, and it will be difficult to provoke the examiner here.

The group disembarked in an orderly manner, and Donald's eyes kept looking at the tall buildings in the trees in the distance, standing alone, not talking to anyone, and no one to talk to him.

"Now the detachment, I will report my name and follow me. ”

The two recorders, one of whom had previously looked at Donald's badge, opened the form on the cardboard again and read out the names on it one by one, and Donald was among them.

Standing out from the crowd, Donald could hear the conversation behind him.

It is nothing more than topics such as "special talents", "insiders", "going through the back door", and "nepotism".

There weren't many of them, about 10 people, and when they came, the number of them should have been close to 60, Donald glanced left and right, and quickly noticed some of the more prominent people he had made a special note earlier.

The direction of their team was obviously different from the remaining 50 or so people, and there were only a few guards around, but judging from their momentum, they were not mediocre.

"You people, you don't need a written test, all you need to take is an aptitude test and a psychological test, so you have to distinguish yourself from those who go to the written test room, and now I will call you again to make sure that you guys are there. ”

The guide who walked in front began to sign up one by one, Donald frowned, he had only been named a few minutes ago, why did he repeat the roll call now?

"Milo Mengsk, a mechanic, is good at mechanics. ”

"To. ”

It was a strong man who spoke, and his expression was not very good.

"Donald Grant, the Scribe, has the ability to craft Level 2 Inscription Scrolls. ”

"To ......"

With some hesitation, he replied, and his hands tightened in his coat pockets.

Named...... Why go out of their way to say what they are capable of?

Donald quickly noticed the problem, and when his identity as the inscriptionist was revealed, the eyes of several of the surrounding guards moved to his body almost simultaneously, especially his face.

They were remembering what he looked like.

What is this trying to do?
