Sainz, the director of military intelligence, took a list and said to the examiners: "Examiners, I have a list here, all of which have signed up for the 'Special Investigation Team'. There are 158 people in the military system, 37 people in the gendarmerie system, 269 people in the secret agent team, and 96 people from other civil associations, and these applicants add up to about 500 people, all of whom came to apply as detectives, scholars, technicians, and demobilized soldiers. ”

As the chief examiner, Colonel Spoo, who is also the captain of the future special investigation team, stretched his frowning brows, and said with a smile: "It seems that the registration is very enthusiastic, and the enthusiasm is quite high." He glanced at the officers, "Whether it is a useful talent or not, you will know it in one test." But you must understand that our 'special investigation team' is not a shelter for mediocre and lazy people, not a hodgepodge of social dregs, and still less a ladder for promotion and wealth. The 'special investigation team' will be the vanguard and backbone of the struggle against all dark forces, so we must select the best of the best, the best of the best, and reject those who are vain and arrogant in pursuit of fame and fortune. ”

Director Sainz glanced at the crowd and continued his introduction: "Now, please watch the slide. ”

The slide shows a bust of the first candidate on the curtain wall. The man was a company commander in the military system, and Director Sainz introduced his name, gender, age, position, and strengths. At the same time, he announced that if the examiners present think that the interview is successful, they will put a red tick on the paper, and if it is not suitable, they will mark a black cross. And write a simple review.

One bust after another appeared on the slide, and the examiners marked red or black crosses one by one according to their own judgment, and wrote simple comments.

One image after another is replaced by the next.

-- Passed.

-- Passed.

-- Not approved.

-- Not approved.

Suddenly, an image jumped into the eyes of the examiners. This is a bust of a handsome man, I saw that he looked like a man and a woman, with a straight figure, a soft temperament, like an ordinary half-breed, with a handsome face. Big eyes, sword eyebrows, curved lips, round and soft facial lines, a somewhat tired and pale face, a stubble beard, and a thick and unkempt yellow hair, the temperament looks a little weird. Those eyes full of hatred looked bright, staring fixedly ahead.

Sainz said: "His name is Richard, 30 years old, fluent in many Chinese, he used to be a detective in the Criminal Investigation Bureau, he was recently fired and is unemployed at home. He's a rare crime-solving genius. He is quick-witted, thoughtful, has a sharpshooter in one hand, and has first-class detective skills. ”

Spo was immediately attracted by this face and blurted out: "Why does he look a bit like a foreigner?" ”

"What a good eyesight, Spo." Sainz was always full of praise for Spo, because Spo was his favorite general.

Spo looked at the face and said, "Look, Director, this person is a typical man and woman. You must know that all men and women, or women and men, are rare spy talents. Just like the female disciple of Mr. Philip, the predecessor of our army's spy warfare, her image of being half male and half female, male and female, sometimes male and sometimes female, made her famous in the espionage world. We may be lucky enough to have met this man and woman, and perhaps he is the kind of spy we are looking for. ”

An examiner said: "I heard that this person is the favorite general of the Criminal Investigation Bureau Director Nickerson, we can't ask for this kind of person!" ”

"Don't be afraid, he just got fired from Nickerson, and it is said that he broke the case and offended Nickelsen."

Director Sainz said, "Nexon, this old bastard, blind dog, is completely an insulator for talents, and I want to use people he doesn't use, let him take the test." ”

The examiners approved Richard's interview. And arranged for him to take a practical exam two days later.

After introducing a few more applicants, suddenly, a woman's image appeared on the slide wall.

This person is none other than Nalisa. She was wearing a dark blue cardigan suit, a goose egg face, red phoenix eyes, bright lips with a smile that was neither humble nor arrogant, and every nerve in her body seemed to be on guard. It looked like a wild cat ready to leap and attack. From the thin lips upwards, there are a pair of large, deep, bright eyes, but the eye waves seem to be unfathomable, revealing a rare sense of mystery. A thick head of hair is tied in an oval bun at the back of his head, which looks both the wildness of an Oriental and the sexiness of a Westerner. The whole body is full of youthful vitality and shimmers with wild light.

"This man is good at a strange oriental martial art." Someone introduced.

No one knew that she was an alien from Sirius. Of course, I don't know the real purpose of her application. Her ninjutsu is the true inheritance of a senior master who was obtained in her mind.

In the next few days, the examination for the selection of special investigators officially began.

Examinations are held from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. and from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. The examination room was chosen on the playground of the army system courtyard on Artillery Street.

The people who took the test lined up on the playground in front of the building, holding the sequence number in their hands and waiting for their turn.

The exam is divided into three parts: a written test, an oral test, and a physical test: everyone who takes the test must first hand in a written test answer sheet before they can enter the second round.

The second round is an oral exam, which requires answering several questions from the examiner, and if more than a dozen judges unanimously pass, he can pass the oral exam and can proceed to the third step of the physical exam.

In the third round of the physical exam, you must do two questions, which are set according to each person's different strengths. These two questions are included in ten questions, which the reference person has seen in advance, from which he can choose one question to take the personal test, and if the judges pass it, he can take the last randomly selected question for the personal test.

Because the exam is very difficult, most of them are eliminated in the first round, and only those who are really talented and outstanding can pass the test smoothly.

The dozen or so people in front of me have finished the exam, and it is Lisa's turn to appear.

Colonel Spoo's eyes widened, and after a while, a slender woman with delicate facial features and fair skin walked up to all the examiners and said generously: "My name is Na Lisa, candidate No. 18, and I am coming to take the physical examination now." ”

Spo never expected that this weak woman was the person on the slide the day before yesterday. Judging from her slender figure and elegant temperament, it is impossible to see that she has stunts.

Colonel Spo wondered if they were mistaken, so he asked, "Are you really taking Lisa?" ”

The woman nodded obediently, "Yes, sir, I'm Lisa." ”

For the first time, Lisa and Spoo's eyes met, and they were both silent, observing each other's eyes and expressions on their faces.

Na Lisa knows how to face each other, she found that this examiner has sharp, deep, gloomy eyes, a loud voice, and a resolute expression, she warned herself from the heart: Be careful today, you meet someone who really knows how to do it, and this person must be the legendary examiner.

Sure enough, Spoo's first sentence asked a very tricky question, "What kind of martial arts do you know?" ”

"Ninjutsu."

"Oh, ninjutsu? So what is the nine-character proverb of a ninja? ”

Na Lisa quickly replied, "The nine-character proverb of the ninja means 'presence, soldier, fight, one, all, array, column, in, front'. ”

Spo glanced back at the dozen or so examiners next to him, proud of his ability to ask really expert questions.

Spo Tie blushed and continued to ask, "Who invented the nine-character proverb and what does it do?" ”

Narissa replied, "This nine-character proverb was invented by the Musashi Patriarch, and it is actually a mantra, a monk in the mountain

The mantra recited when expelling demons is also used by ninjas because they live in an environment where they can die at any time, and reciting this mantra can give themselves a kind of self-hypnosis to eliminate fear and increase the effect of spiritual power. ”

Spo then asked, "What are the martial arts of ninjutsu?" ”

Na Lisa replied: "These martial arts include swordsmanship, archery, equestrianism, jiu-jitsu, foot skills, body balance, poison darts, etc., and each aspect must be top-notch. ”

Spo asked very expertly, "What are the three unique ninjutsu?" ”

Na Lisa replied: "The three absolutes of ninjutsu are 'stealth flying technique', 'issuing hidden weapon technique', and 'poison and detoxification technique'. ”

"Please explain these three techniques in detail?"

Na Lisa looked calm and said confidently: "The so-called 'stealth technique' is not the technique of flying eaves and walls, but actually practiced by long-term jumping, grasping, climbing, and transcending kung fu. When the ninja is trained to be extremely agile in his hands and feet, and his ability to jump and run is super strong, the ninja is gone without anyone noticing him. The so-called 'distribution of hidden weapons', the hidden weapons of ninjas are mostly poison darts and copper coins with wingers, but also swords, chisels and other weapons. The so-called 'poison and detoxification' is the unique skill of every ninjutsu master, and there are many applications of ninjutsu hidden weapons, and the copper coin of throwing hair and quenching poison is a kind. The poisons used in ninjutsu are extracted from minerals, animals and plants, and are so powerful that they can kill people; A small dose is enough to make a person drowsy, paralyzed, or temporarily insane. Ninjutsu is also very secretive in poisoning, such as using the tips of daggers, darts and arrows dipped in poison, which can be used for assassination; Food or drink adulterated with poison for murder. The general antidote to ninjutsu is made with herbs and medicinal wine. ”

Colonel Spoo listened to this answer, and exchanged satisfied glances with the other examiners.

A middle-aged examiner brought a cardboard box and said to Lisa: "Miss Lisa, these are 10 exam questions, they are clear questions, you can take a look at them all, choose one of them as a self-choice question, and then implement the exam." ”

Lisa read all 10 questions and picked a question of "holding your breath in the water for 30 minutes". She showed this question to the examiners and asked, "Let's take this question, but the problem is that there is no water?" ”

Spo waved his hand, a forklift drove up, and several people unloaded a king-size water tank from the truck, and a water pipe came in, and soon, it was filled with water.

"Just use this water tank, you can squat in it, you can use your ninjutsu to your heart's content." Spoo thought to himself, don't say half an hour, if you can hold your breath in the water for five minutes, the sun will come out in the west.

Na Lisa looked calm, unhurried, a vertical jump, plucked onions on dry land, landed steadily in the middle of the water tank, and then slowly squatted down. The water overflowed her head.

Spoo took out a timer and started timekeeping.
