Chapter Twenty-Five: The Law of the Extraordinary

"How's it taste?"

Isad's gloating smile suddenly became serious and serious, which made Roddy hesitate for a moment, and replied tentatively:

"It's bitter, is Mr. Editor trying to tell me that my assistant's job is like this cup of coffee?"

Isad's hand touching his pocket watch paused for a moment, which he meant exactly, but more of a warning, that's what he was reporting was always dangerous, unlike other editors.

"I'd like to hear what you think of the daily newspaper. ”

Isad took a sip of his coffee and looked through the glass into the street, he deliberately gave Roddy some time to think, but Roddy was a little unbearable, neither on earth nor in this world he had ever read a newspaper.

"But... Daily newspapers are probably an important part of the world's media, so that's it..."

Luo Di said secretly in his heart, after thinking for a while, he had a little eyebrows, and then said calmly:

"I don't read daily newspapers much, but it can guide and influence the direction of a lot of things. ”

Issad stopped touching his pocket watch and looked at Roddy with a little meaning, an answer that was far beyond his expectations, and even went straight to the heart of the daily newspaper, and it was hard to imagine that this was a young layman who had never been in the industry to sum it up.

"You're smarter than I thought. Isad glanced at Roddy, then picked up the cane leaning in his chair and got up to settle the bill, then turned around and said, "There are some things that are not suitable for talking here, go to my office, and by the way, let you know about the working environment." ”

Roddy nodded and quickly followed.

After entering from the revolving door of the daily newspaper, there is directly the office area, where desks are regularly placed, full of folders and manuscripts full of text, and almost two or three people are surrounded in front of each desk, dressed in different ways, making the whole office area look very lively.

"Those are the people who want to provide news or commission interviews. "But most of them just provide pointless revelations, such as whose silverware has been stolen, hehe, the police should be called, not the newspaper." ”

Roddy nodded his head, the lively scene made him a little uncomfortable.

"Hehe, don't worry, my desk won't allow that to happen, and your job won't be too complicated. ”

Roddy nodded sincerely, expressing relief, in fact, seeing those sweaty staff who coped, Roddy was really a little scared.

After passing through the office area, there is a spiral staircase, the handrails are of fine nanmu, and there are hanging flower baskets on both sides, which looks very exquisite, and few people walk up the stairs.

Isad was taking Roddy upstairs when a middle-aged woman came down, wearing a white wide-brimmed hat and a long white dress that highlighted the charm of a mature woman.

She glanced at Roddy, and then said to Isad with a little playfulness:

"Found an assistant?"

Issad raised his eyes slightly, pouted and hurriedly led Roddy upstairs with a few random words, which made Roddy look at the lady with some curiosity, and she winked at Roddy generously.

"You.. Hello. ”

Luo Di subconsciously bent over, but was dragged by Issad and disappeared at the staircase, the middle-aged woman smiled slightly, raised the corners of her mouth and looked at the direction where the two disappeared.

Because of the middle-aged woman, Isad remained silent all the way, and after entering the office, he didn't forget to look at the corridor, which made people feel funny and funny.

Roddy just opened his mouth to ask, but was stopped by a look from Issad.

"Ahem, this is my office area, an independent office, you can sit here. Isad found a chair and placed it in front of his desk, which was exactly opposite Isad's position, and it was the same desk.

Roddy looked around, the whole office was very messy, with rows of cabinets on the left hand side of the main entrance, and a large desk stuffed with various documents and some office supplies, as well as a picture frame laid face down.

On the right-hand side was a coffee table and a sofa, which was still full of papers, and on the sofa lay a pure black cat, staring at Roddy with its tail upright, full of hostility.

"This is my pet, named Barty, a purebred Gran black cat, don't look at it like this, it's actually very docile. ”

Roddy watched the black cat bared his teeth and roared at himself, and nodded sheepishly.

Isad wiped the desktop haphazardly, pushed aside the messy papers, and made a cup of coffee and raised it at Roddy, who quickly waved his hand to say that he didn't need it.

"Then let's move on. ”

Isad took a sip of his coffee and continued:

"As you might guess, Officer Bob is not a simple cop. ”

Roddy nodded in the affirmative.

"He often deals with some difficult cases, and sometimes the Seven Gods can't get everyone to believe in the Holy Scriptures, and most of the cases caused by some people who have fallen into the abyss are handled by Bob, many of which involve a small number of ordinary people. ”

"Just like you. ”

"Me?", Roddy looked confused, but quickly made a gesture of listening, and Issad said in due course.

"The Extraordinary are only a minority, and what about the ordinary people who are involved with the Wild Extraordinary? Especially their relatives, who come into contact with the world of the Extraordinary, their perceptions will naturally change, and if they survive by chance, they will always be motivated to follow the same path for various reasons. ”

Isad sighed.

"That's the law of the extraordinary, and that's why Bob always sends me messes, he wants me to give these people some guidance, especially you, Bob's personal letter of recommendation is not a treatment that everyone can have, which shows that he is very optimistic about you, but. ”

Issad deliberately said two words, which lifted Roddy's spirits and waited for his next words.

"The Extraordinary is completely different from the ordinary world, it is secretive and powerful, it must not be known by ordinary people, and at the same time, the Extraordinary is very dangerous for yourself and the people around you, and every decision you make will have to pay a price you can't imagine. ”

Roddy takes every word Issad says seriously and carefully, recalling Pais's suicide and the real Roddy's summoning ritual, and is deeply aware of the danger and unknown that the extraordinary represents.

"In fact, most of the ordinary people who come into contact with the extraordinary are dealt with by the Church, but their way of dealing with them is often accompanied by great side effects, such as amnesia, dementia, and other permanent brain damage. ”

Roddy immediately realized that this was the way the church was going to deal with it, and he realized the kindness that Bob was expressing.

"Thank you, Mr. Issad. ”

Isad just smiled at Roddy's earnest thanks, and after a moment of silence, he seemed to remember something.

"By the way, you don't need but your mother, Bob asked me to tell you that your mother will not be dealt with by the Sect of Religion, for some unknown reason your mother does not seem to have any memory of your father. ”

Roddy opened his mouth for a moment, and then a sense of guilt came over him, he had never considered how Ilya felt about the loss of her husband, nor did he worry about whether she would be affected.

After a long time, Roddy sighed, he understood the reason for this.

"Okay, now let's talk about work, although you have a letter of recommendation from Bob, if you don't satisfy me at work, I'm not so kind as to raise a two-legged sheep who can't do anything. ”

“...”

Roddy looked at Issad with a smile, familiar and amused by the adjective two-legged sheep.
