Pete pretended to be abrupt and said, "Understood." That's why it's so closely monitored. And who should be sent to keep an eye on them? ”

"Of course it's us." Anderson took it for granted and said, "Where else is there but us?" ”

"Including us?" Pete pointed at Anderson and himself, "I mean, for example, you and I, there is no one in charge of this?" ”

"Nope." Anderson shook his head and said, "This kind of thing is not a few times a month, how can there be a special person in charge of this matter?" And I'm telling you, try not to get involved in this kind of thing. ”

"Why? Isn't it possible to go out? It's also a distraction, and maybe you can get in touch with your family. Pete said.

Anderson looked completely disagreed and said, "How is it possible? Trip? Want to have a chance to connect with your family? This is simply impossible, the person who is sent out is in a working state and must complete his task. In addition, what is more important is that if you go out with you, and then something goes wrong not long after, such as what is collected outside and what leaks something, then not only the person who goes out will receive the investigation, but also the person who goes out with the person. It's quite a problem, and even if it turns out that there is nothing later, most of the time you can't continue to work here. ”

Pete looked at Anderson suspiciously, and said, "Did this happen before?" ”

Anderson pursed his lips and said, "It's hard to talk about this matter, so don't ask." Anyway, I'm telling you, it's better not to stick to it. ”

Pete looked at Anderson, although he didn't answer directly, but from his expression and the sentence just now, he could still hear that something like this must have happened before, and the final investigation was mostly fruitless, at least there was no clear result for them, but the people involved were definitely not here now.

"Somebody's going to have to do it, right? If everyone doesn't go, how can we arrange it? Pete asked.

Anderson smiled wryly and said, "First of all, voluntary. If no one wants to, they will be named by the people above, and whoever they arrange to go will have to go. That's it. ”

Pete nodded and said, "It seems that no one wants to go." Have you been? ”

"Nope." Anderson immediately shook his head and said, "I'm pretty lucky, I've never been arranged." ”

"Are there a lot of people applying here?" Pete asked curiously, "If there are many applicants, isn't it likely that they will be assigned?" ”

"As far as I know." Anderson thought for a while and said, "It's not much lately, but it's like the wind outside, it's always a gust, not for a while, but after a while, the number of people applying will increase, and I don't know why." ”

"I think that's normal." Pete said: "Judging by my experience in the service. That's it. After all, people are not isolated, they will always communicate with each other, and they may say something new in a short time, but after being away from home for a long time, they will slowly talk about things at home. You say a sentence, I say a sentence, maybe a long time. But either way, these will evoke homesickness in everyone present. Then there will be a situation where everyone agrees to apply at all times. ”

Anderson nodded and said, "That makes sense." I remember it was the same when I was in the army. But they're much better now than we were then. ”

"Of course." Pete said: "The conditions here are better than those of the troops. But it may feel similar to them, losing contact, being subject to strict restrictions and even surveillance, and they should feel a lot worse than we do in this regard. ”

"You're right." Anderson waved his hand and said, "Just don't let me go anyway." ”

Pete smiled and didn't continue the conversation, but in his heart, he really wished he could have this opportunity to accompany someone to Los Angeles, although he hadn't figured out how to contact him when he actually got there, but he believed that he had a chance.

After that, Pete talked to Anderson until six o'clock, which is the end of the day. When it was almost time, you could see from the surveillance that these people in the office area had begun to pack up their things. Pete is still keeping an eye on Adar Hassan. I saw that this guy was the same as yesterday, as if he didn't care too much about the time, and he didn't seem to be in a hurry to get off work, and he was still in the same state as before, even when Pete and Anderson got up to leave the monitoring room and prepare to go to the office area.

"You're here to record this time." Anderson said as he pulled out a thick notebook from a drawer next to the surveillance console and handed it to Pete.

Pete took the notebook and opened it, only to see that there was also a pen tied directly to the middle seam of this thick notebook with a nylon rope. And after taking a closer look at the appearance inside, Pete found that it not only included the roll call of going to and from work every day, but also the situation of those who worked overtime every time.

"I'll just be in charge of ticking it off in a moment." "It's just redundant records, and the real value is in the access control," Anderson said. There is not only monitoring, but also a detailed record of each card swipe. ”

Pete nodded and said, "But you still have to record it carefully, right?" lest they be examined ... ”

"You're right." Anderson said and smiled a little, then looked at the man in the office area, "Everyone, please hurry. Otherwise, we will have to waste our tongues to explain. ”

"Don't rush Anderson. It makes us feel like prisoners. "There is humanity.

Anderson sighed and said, "Trust me, I wouldn't be like this if you were prisoners. ”

"Okay. We're all right. As he spoke, the curtains of Adar Hassan's office were pulled up, and he opened the door and walked out, then walked straight to the curfew without squinting.

"Okay guys. Please arrange them in order. I know we're all tired, and it's more important to go back and rest early than anything else, right? Come on. With that, Anderson gestured in the direction of the curfew. I saw that these people came to the curfew one after another with their own identity cards and lined up in order. Anderson opened the door after glancing at the time and said, "Let's start, everyone." Then they reported their names one by one.

Pete immediately started registering, and soon found out that the job was actually very simple, just tick the name of the newspaper and finally sign his name at the end.

After sending everyone away, Pete and Anderson went through all the places that needed to be inspected as they had done yesterday, and then went to the smoking room in the lounge area, where they each smoked a cigarette. It's just that this time, in addition to smoking, Pete didn't forget to look through the thick notebook in his hand, as if something in it caught his attention.
