Life is very ordinary, everyone is living, that is, they are enjoying their own lives, but it is not a simple thing to want to live well and live better and better. Li Yunlong didn't get out of the middle age before, Tom Riddle struggled for five years, and he is still just the bottom of the gang, although these experiences have no successful experience to provide Li Yunlong with help, from another point of view, failure is also an experience, the key depends on how you use it!

The next day, Li Yunlong went out early, and specially went to customize 300 business cards for himself, the style is very simple, and there is nothing unusual about the format, with Li Yunlong's current name printed on it, Brooke Lee, with the following notes emphasized: freelance writer, adventurer, occult researcher. If you want to mix in society, you need to have an identity, when you make your own identity through a fake certificate dealer, Li Yunlong designed the identity of a freelance writer, and specially prepared materials for this, the identity of an adventurer and a mystical researcher was added by Li Yunlong for himself, Li Yunlong felt that these two titles could provide more help for himself.

As soon as the business card was handed over, the other party took it and looked at it -- a freelance writer? Recall, I had never heard of a famous writer named Brooke Lee, so he was certainly a nobody, and it was not worth paying attention to at all! Once he had this initial impression, the evaluation was naturally low, and this was not the effect that Li Yunlong wanted! The name of the adventurer was completely different. The name Li has never been heard of, but the adventurers who have achieved fame are only a few after all, and the vast majority of adventurers only enjoy their own reputation in a small area throughout their lives, so it is normal for an adventurer to not have a good reputation. In the propaganda of Western culture, the adventurer is about the same as the explorer, and the life of any famous adventurer is a legend, and this legend has an amazing attraction for the general public. Even if they can't get in touch with famous adventurers, the legend of an unknown little adventurer is quite attractive to them, and this kind of reputation is a very good stepping stone to Li Yunlong's first contact with others. As for the title of occult researcher, it is even more powerful, the religious atmosphere in this place is very strong, according to the official statistics of the United States, there are less than 9% of people in the country who do not have their own religious beliefs. It's just that religious beliefs are also relatively chaotic, almost all the major religions in the world are intervening here, what Greek gods of Mount Olympus, ancient Egyptian pharaonic beliefs, *** religion and the like are all there, Taoism from our country, Buddhism is also inserted here, if you count the big and small names that can be named, the cult beliefs that can't be named, are completely messed up into a pot of porridge! Of course, the belief in this place in Laomei is still dominated by Christianity on the surface, claiming to account for sixty percent of the total population, if you count all the religions that believe in God and Jesus Christ, what Christianity, Catholicism, Orthodox Christianity, Judaism, Catholicism...... In total, it can account for 85% of the total population of the United States, which is definitely the largest belief in the United States. In this environment, the identity of a occult researcher can be openly said in Laomei, although because the research direction is inevitably in conflict with other people's beliefs sometimes, but after all, it is an identity that can be used, and it will be very good in some specific situations!

With a business card as a stepping stone, Li Yunlong confidently drove to the Los Angeles Police Department in Burbank. This is a three-story building that is some years old, with its own parking lot, and the guards are not very strict, after all, the average underworld has no courage to make trouble in the police station. Because he doesn't like suits that bring him a sense of restraint, Li Yunlong wears a wilderness survival suit when he goes out, the style is not good-looking but durable, and the belt is also a special matching belt, which not only has a dagger and flint for survival in the wilderness, but also a special small kettle is hung, and Li Yunlong's equipment can go directly to the wilderness to survive without changing things. It's a bit unusual to wear this outfit in the city, but fortunately, this is the old and beautiful Los Angeles, and there is never a shortage of maverick weirdos, and well-informed policemen like Li Yunlong have long been surprised.

Officer Don Nader, a female policewoman sitting behind the service desk, looked at Li Yunlong with a calm face, "Sir, do you have anything to do?"

Although she is a female policeman, it is a pity that she is a middle-aged aunt with a strong body, Li Yunlong complained in his heart, but with a smile on his face, he took out a business card of his own and handed it over, "Hello, officer." To introduce myself, I'm Brooke Lee. ”

Reaching out to take the business card handed by Li Yunlong, Officer Don Nader looked down, "Brooke Lee, freelance writer, adventurer, and occult researcher. Well, then, Mr. Brooke Lee, is there anything you have here?"

Li Yunlong: "I want to apply for access to the files that your bureau allows to be made public. "Ordinary people applying to read police files, even if they are allowed to be made public, may sound a little wrong. But this is really nothing new in Laomei! Many professionals in the entertainment or journalism industries will apply for access to police files for their own needs. In fact, it's not just those files that are allowed to be made public, if you look at the news of Lao Mei, you will find that many cases that are being solved will also be found by those powerful reporters to find out relevant information. Speaking of which, I have to complain about the two stubborn problems of the Lao Mei police, one is that the police force is never enough, and the other is corruption, so the actual situation of the Lao Mei police is far from being as glamorous as ordinary people imagine in their hearts! But this is a good thing for Li Yunlong, at least Li Yunlong's application is very likely to be approved.

Officer Don Nader skillfully took out several forms and handed them to Li Yunlong, "Please fill out these forms truthfully and in detail." ”

Half an hour later, Li Yunlong completed the relevant tedious procedures, and Officer Don Nader put away these application forms, "Mr. Brooke Lee, your application will be approved in seven working days, and we will notify you of the result according to the contact information you left." Do you have anything else to do?"

Li Yunlong smiled and said goodbye, "There is nothing else, thank you, Officer Don Nader." Then he turned and left the police station. If Li Yunlong wants to gain a foothold in the local area, he must interact with the locals, but it is not Li Yunlong's choice to patiently interact with his neighbors, unless he is lucky, Li Yunlong does not think that this kind of interaction can bring him much help. At this time, it is very skillful to choose the circle or level of the person to associate with, and the local police station is the first step in Li Yunlong's selection.

A person's life is in the midst of changes, with the change of age, identity, status, power, money, power, prestige, etc., it is necessary to make reasonable adjustments in a timely manner, so as to be in a more reasonable position in society, in short, it is to adjust the circle in which you are located according to your own situation, which is not a lack of conscience, but a rational choice made in order to reasonably adapt to society. If you look at the people who have made a fortune and become a tycoon, how many of them will have a long time to live in the same community as the common people? Some people may say that this kind of example is too extreme, so let's talk about it, Hollywood movie stars know, right? When they are filming movies, they also have to join the crew and work with the rest of the crew, and we will not mention the terms of living treatment that are far beyond the rest of the crew written directly in the contract! Let's talk about the situation when the crew eats in the same restaurant at noon, the extras get together, the crew members, such as the screenwriter, the cameraman, the drama work, the movie stars and the main supporting actors get together, the film director and the producer get together, and the small circle of classes is clearly hierarchical! This is the reality of Lao Mei, even if Lao Mei herself has always advertised herself as a beacon of freedom and democracy. It's very unpleasant, isn't it? Can't there be less routines and more love between people! Everyone communicates more sincerely! It's a pity, it's not that I don't want to, but the vast majority of people can't do it! If you don't believe it, please take a look at the treatment of Brother Dayi. (Is kindness really a mistake? Brother Coat's experience is really heartbreaking!)

The police station still needs to wait for a while, and it is a bit of a waste of time just to wait, so I picked a Sunday morning, and at half past nine, Li Yunlong blended into the local Christian church. This is a small church, the location is a bit off, from where Li Yunlong lives here about 20 minutes by car, next to the church is the local cemetery, although Lao Mei also has cremation in this place, but many local people still choose the ancient funeral method.

Because it was Sunday, there were still a lot of people coming to worship in the church, Li Yunlong made a cursory observation, among which the young people around 20 years old were not even 1/5, a few children came with the adults of their own families, and the rest were basically people in their thirties and forties, and middle-aged or elderly people accounted for the vast majority. Burbank belongs to Los Angeles, and the most famous in Los Angeles is Hollywood, which is a world-famous film and television base, and the entertainment industry is developed. Since even Christianity itself is not in this place, the local Christian church here in Burbank is of course not very spiritual, and the only official priest in charge of this place is the Pastor Justin who is in charge of it. There is no money, no people, the scale is small, and under all kinds of hardware constraints, even the Sunday worship service cannot be done too well, and all kinds of rituals and rituals can be saved, and those that can be simplified are simplified, and it is almost 11 o'clock after tossing it like this.

After the service, everyone left the church in order, and Li Yunlong deliberately stayed at the end, of course, not because he suddenly believed in Christianity after participating in the event. Li Yunlong never dared to underestimate a huge sect that had been inherited for many years, but the superpower of sensory control told Li Yunlong that at least in this small church, there was no extraordinary power, the various rituals and rituals in the worship service did not show any mysterious effect, and Pastor Justin did not find any extraordinary power. Perhaps because Li Yunlong did not believe in Christianity, when he listened to Pastor Justin's sermon, Li Yunlong was not moved in any way, but felt that Pastor Justin was going around in circles when he said it, and he didn't talk about it at all.
