Chapter 27: "Sloth" (Part 1)

Shen Yue walked through the corridor of the branch, and the sense of disobedience from last night became more and more serious.

The receptionist was absentmindedly playing with her mobile phone when she passed by, and when she saw her, the former ace of the branch, she only nodded, and as for the low-level employees in the work area, it could only be described as outrageous.

Some people are sharing tables together, watching dramas on the computers of the branch, some are applying makeup in the mirror, some are playing with their mobile phones, some are flipping, and some have even fallen asleep on the table.

This situation actually gave Shen Yue the illusion that she had strayed into a salted fish pension company.

In the past, when they came to the Foundation, low-level employees were always busy with work on their hands, and every moment there was information about suspected paranormal phenomena, they would analyze these phenomena as soon as possible, and if they could not reach a specific conclusion, they would go directly to the scene to investigate and take samples.

It can be said that almost all of the intelligence support available to employees above the A level is the result of the work of low-level employees who work day and night.

And in the last two days, there have been inexplicable game characters, there have been incidents of gang members being attacked, and today even Kuba has been contained in the branch, which should be the busiest time.

When he pushed open the door of Chen Jiang's office, the person in charge who was full of responsibility in the past was concentrating on playing auto-chess on the computer, and when he saw Shen Yue entering the door, not only did he not close the game in a panic, but also said calmly, "Wait a minute, this game will be over soon." ”

The atmosphere of laziness crept in.

In this way, the senior sister is the least affected.

It may also be that the senior sister is usually a person who is too strict with herself, so even if she is affected, she just relaxes appropriately.

"Uncle Chen, I'm here today to discuss with you about the strange phenomenon of the past two days."

"Oh, you're talking about those 'game characters', I'm already looking it up."

When he replied, Chen Jiang's eyes never took off the computer screen, "According to the investigation of the branch, they are not very dangerous, and they have almost no impact on the lives of ordinary people, but a small number of reports show that the citizens who took pictures with them before did not go to school or company today - but they were not physically harmed, they simply wanted to take a day off." ”

Chen Jiang felt in his heart that when people were about to lose their busy lives, it was understandable to take a temporary break for a while, and he should not criticize them for this, or force them to be dragged out of their homes and sent to work or school.

"But on top of that, dozens of gang members have already been killed, including four minor leaders, and if the momentum continues, it will be a matter of time before a large-scale firefight continues."

Gang members are different from ordinary citizens, encountering such a targeted hunt will only cause them to fight back more fiercely, according to the situation of the mask quartet, in fact, the people controlled by the mask are not completely invincible, they will also bleed and die if they are shot, and "Miami Hotline" itself is a game of "death is like the wind, always with me".

When Shen Yue first played, she was so dead that she couldn't take care of herself.

And when those gang members realize this, they may take the initiative to retaliate against such people, and there will inevitably be cases of ordinary citizens being injured by mistake.

Countering violence with violence does not bring peace, but more disorderly chaos.

"Oh? Is there such a thing? Not...... I remember, Officer Yu seems to have mentioned it once, well, don't worry, we'll investigate later. ”

In an absent-spirited tone, Shen Yue had no doubt that she might go out on the front foot, and Chen Jiang forgot about it on the back foot.

In her opinion, this is already a predictable disaster, and many times, the damage that humans themselves can inflict is not much weaker than that of supernatural creatures.

Natural disasters can take people's lives and destroy people's homes, and so can human beings themselves.

The branch can no longer be counted on, and it seems that it can only discuss countermeasures with Brother Gu Yun.

"But isn't that what you're hoping to see?"

Just as Shen Yue was about to leave, a voice suddenly appeared in her heart, her voice was the same as hers, but it seemed to be slightly different.

She subconsciously looked around.

Chen Jiang continued to concentrate on the next game of auto-chess, and the junior employees outside the office continued their day of fishing happily, unaffected by the impending crisis.

The people's laughter and the sound effects of the games become unreal, and even though they are close at hand, they seem to be separated by a world.

"If everyone loses their fighting spirit, if fishing is the norm in this world, then you can live the life you want with peace of mind - students have to go to class, adults have to go to work, seven days a week, five days a week, busy days, rare days off, but also crowded with homework and work, don't you think these rules are too harsh?

"So, when you've stepped out of the box, why not shape the world the way you want it to be?"

At this moment, Shen Yue was convinced that this sudden conversation only existed in her heart, or some kind of consciousness level communication, and the people around her were not aware of her abnormality at all.

"Who are you?"

"Me?"

The voice paused, then chuckled lowly, "I'm a changemaker who is tired of the established rules and wants to make changes, and there are many changers like me in this world, but you seem to have given us a not-so-nice name. ”

Shen Yue had a vague premonition in her heart, but the moment this thought came about, her mood fell to the bottom.

"Oh? Looks like you've guessed it. ”

"After all, we've been together for so long, and we've gradually been able to reach the point where we have a heart-to-heart connection...... That's right, you call us changemakers a natural disaster. ”

Act of God!

When the other party said this word, Shen Yue immediately got goosebumps.

She still remembered that the man in the trench coat almost rained a wave of fire in X City, if the fire wave flooded the surface, it was enough to cause more than tens of thousands of casualties in a short period of time, and according to what she later learned, the man in the trench coat was still an "incomplete" natural disaster, and in the long history, there were also some natural disasters that had caused countless casualties.

Unlike the Witch of Dusk, most of them have never had the upper hand in the fight against them, but for some reason, those natural disasters have finally disappeared from the records, and their whereabouts have become an eternal mystery.

And now, there is a natural disaster hidden in her body?

"You say that's what I want to see, but I've never wanted a serial murderer to show up!"

"No, you ever wished—remember? One of the thoughts that came to you when you beat that game - didn't you feel that if there was such a civil society in reality to eliminate evil spirits and crime, your work would be much easier. ”

Shen Yue was stunned for a while, but there was no way to refute it for a while.

It's like talking to your own heart, and lies and rebuttals can never resist your heart.

"Still, there's room for everything."

The voice paused, "If you regret it, try to control my power and change this city into what you want it to be—Shen Yue, we are not enemies, I just want you to be happy." ”
