The streets are spacious and bustling, and the people bathed in the sun are bright, cheerful, and full of vitality. Waking up to the city began the day in an orderly manner, with children going to school traveling in groups, and parents hurriedly bringing lunch boxes that they had forgotten at home.

All this seemed harmonious and warm, but it came to an abrupt end because of Qing Yu and Gu Nan.

A red-haired man with an outstanding temperament and a windy walk, a tall and beautiful woman with a sabre and a pistol - these two people don't look like good people when they walk together, especially the weapon of Light Feather.

"Quick, let's go over there!"

The children's eyes were frightened, and they hurriedly went across the street, not daring to look at them more. Adults will also subconsciously keep their distance when they staggered past them.

Dressed in civilian clothes and armed with either soldiers or mercenaries, the existence of such people seems to be the moths of the world, as long as they are there, no matter how peaceful the atmosphere will be instantly stained with a shadow, will make people instantly remind people of what the world is really like.

has long been accustomed to this kind of treatment, Qing Yu didn't feel too much, but he was still a little unhappy, and he unconsciously accelerated his pace. Gu Nanyi was still buying breakfast at the small vendor, and when he turned his head, the woman had already entered the bank on the street.

The wooden fence in the bank is more than two meters high, and it is made of rare rigid wood. In this day and age, human technology can no longer make tempered glass, but fortunately there are still mutant tree species. The rigidwood is so strong and invulnerable that even a fire would require 10,000 degrees Celsius to ignite it. Therefore, the process of building rigid wood is extremely difficult and costly, and in addition to institutions such as banks, it will only be used in the army.

Light Yu had tried his hand on Gangmu, but the bullet really couldn't penetrate it, and the saber couldn't cut a trace. So those who want to rob the bank can only be discouraged.

Walking into a bank is like walking into a huge cell with an enclosed interior, which makes the mood very depressing, especially when the small window overhead is opened and the staff condescends to look in, and people can't help but feel that they are being tried in court:

"What's the business?" These public officials are always like this, they feel superior, as if they are the epitome of the commoner world of the nobles who live in the special zone, and the more humble the position of people like them, the more they like to put on a show.

Of course, Light Feather won't have a good face:

"Save money." She threw the burden she had been carrying on the automatic lift, and even the light baht was very light, but now it fell with a heavy sound due to the quantity. In the storeroom of the cottage before, she did take a lot.

The bank's escalator is like a small elevator, the main body is a rigid wooden box, and when the money is put in, the switch is pressed and it is delivered to the salesman. In the attic on the other side of the business window, the supervisor will keep an eye on them to handle the business, and if anyone dares to embezzle money and do some shady manipulation, they have the right to do anything to the salesman on the spot.

This is only because their position is one level higher than that of a salesman.

The system of this era is as withered and decayed as the environment, and the whole society is filled with a smell of filth and decay. It seems that people who are still trying to survive in such a situation live to prove the absurdity of human nature.

It's still early in the morning, and there are no other customers in the bank yet. After handing over the passbook and money, Qing Yu stood where he was and waited. As an unnumbered mercenary, her passbook was made by He Futuo with a false identity, and there have been no problems over the years.

After finishing his errands and going out, Gu Nanyi was waiting outside.

"Let's go, have breakfast."

The taste of barley noodles is not good, if you can, Qing Yu has no reason to abuse her stomach, and on the way to Biluo, although Gu Nanyi didn't say anything about barley noodles, it was very obvious.

Now this humble stall is not a restaurant at all, but an old table looks chic. Spoons, knives, forks and chopsticks are neatly arranged, and small bowls of porridge and pickles are placed on a plate of sliced pancakes and butter, as well as a plate of chopped vegetables topped with black olives.

But this stall sells noodles.

Qing Yu blinked, wanting to complain but didn't know where to start, and Gu Nanyi had already picked up the napkin very carefully and wrapped it around his neck: "Don't be so surprised, it's tiring to travel, I just want to eat normally." ”

"Sir, your black tea." The little second brother brought another pot of tea and two cups, and Qing Yu couldn't help it:

"Isn't this a noodle stall, how can there be these things?"

But seeing this little second brother, Mei Zizi rubbed his hands and smiled: "If you open the door to do business, what stall is not a stall?" As long as you give money, you can eat the stars in the sky if you want! ”

"You just eat, where are so many words." Gu Nanyi smiled, standard high society.

Qing Yu sneered and teased: "Okay, thank you for your hospitality!" ”

Gu Nanyi's eating appearance has always been exquisite, and even the barley noodles can be eaten with a sense of luxury, not to mention that now there is a nose and eyes on the table, but the eyes of the thief are not less observant:

Although this woman is a mercenary, she eats well, but she can't be elegant, it's just very ordinary, not ugly, but because of her beauty, the picture adds a lot of points, and it has a little bit of beautiful and delicious meaning.

At present, how can a man not like to look at beautiful women? But soon, someone's silver muzzle was pointed at his head:

"Look again, blow your head off."

The eyes are sharp, and this ruthlessness enchants the beauty of light feathers.

"What a temper tantrum." Gu Nanyi shrugged his shoulders, looked away as if he was fine, took off the napkin around his neck and wiped his mouth—obviously he hadn't eaten anything, but his actions at the moment seemed to be meaningfully saying thank you for the hospitality.

A good breakfast can put you in a good mood for the day. At least that's what Gu Nanyi thought, and Qing Yu looked obviously preoccupied.

When checking out, she asked the second brother: "We just came from out of town, I don't know if Biluo has any interesting things recently?" ”

At first glance, the two of them were not ordinary people, especially since this woman was still carrying a weapon. The little second brother is an understanding person, and he immediately heard the meaning of this, and Gu Nanyi was very giving, and before Qing Yu finished speaking, he took out an extra handful of light baht from his pocket:

"There are no interesting things, there is really a big thing!" The little second brother's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly took a handful of light baht in Gu Nan's hand into his purse, and then collected the money for the meal, "In two days, the leader of Lanwan will personally go to the Special Intelligence Department to inspect and review, and it is said that it will be opened to the outside world, and 5,000 people can go in and watch." During this time, in order to get the hospitality coupon, the big families in the city started to fight. ”

"The Department of Special Intelligence?" Qing Yu didn't have an impression of this department, only to know that this department was secretly established a year ago, and now it has recruited a lot of supernatural people, and it only accepts supernatural people!

The Department of Special Intelligence, short for the "Department of Special Services", is a government agency set up specifically for the Adepts, hoping to co-opt idle mercenaries for their own use, so as to greatly reduce their connection with the Dawn Order, and the government can also have a special Legion of Adepts to deal with the Dawn Order.

In other words, the Dawn Order's influence has now exceeded the government's expectations, and now it has to form an army that is also dominated by the Anomalous to deal with the situation. And more importantly, if you join the Ministry of Special Intelligence, the originally idle mercenaries will have a formal establishment, and they will no longer have no identity and live as cheap as a slave as in the past.

The emergence of the Department of Secret Services is like giving the Anomalies a place to live, but considering the government's attitude towards the Anomalous, this new department is still quite controversial:

"Have you thought about it? The treatment given by the government is really good, you can go with us, it's better than floating outside so worried. ”

"Yes, you can come with us. They are short of people now, and the assessment is just a passing scene, even those like Leizi can pass, what do you have to worry about? And I heard that as long as you go to sign up, no matter what the result is, all the things you committed as a mercenary in the past can be erased from the file. ”

"If there is a formal establishment, it is the people of the government, just like the legal citizens. In the future, you can swagger home to visit relatives and reunite as a family, and you don't have to worry about being suspected of colluding with terrorists. ”

……

"That's what I said, but I always feel like I'm hanging in my heart! Have you forgotten how the government used to suppress the supernatural? We're not as fucking alive as a cow in this world! Now suddenly so kind, I don't believe them! ”

"Just in case, I said just in case. If they gather us together and then destroy us together, or send us to the 'grave', I am afraid that there will be no tears of tears!" ”

"Isn't the lord going to review the legion in two days, and then we'll find a way to go in and have a look. If that's what they say, it's never too late for us to sign up. ”

"That's right. My two brothers have been in the first place for half a year, but they haven't been in touch. I heard that the management inside is very strict, and I am a little worried about them. After the review, they will have a three-day holiday, and when the time comes, it will be clear to them. ”

……

Opinions on the Secret Service are mixed, but there are still a lot of people who are excited, and everyone is very interested in this public review.

Walking through the crowded street markets all the way, Qing Yu and Gu Nanyi heard a lot of discussions. The two walked through the busiest street and entered the warehouse at the back door of a large grocery store.

The staircase down the warehouse was very deep, and in the dim light of the torches, there was an old man guarding the old iron door at the end of the stairs:

He is now in his sixties, but his body is still strong, and even in loose coarse cloth clothes, he can still see a solid physique. He sat on a stool, the slender brass pipe in his hand was also a few years old, and when the light feather passed, he took a deep puff, and the smoke was long:

"It's you, little girl, I haven't seen you for a few years, and you've grown into such a big girl."

"Uncle Ghost, long time no see." Light Feather bowed his head and greeted him very respectfully, "I came in a hurry, and I didn't prepare anything for you." ”

"You don't have to do these things in my relationship. But your master, how are you doing? ”

The white smoke gradually dispersed, and Uncle Ghost's expression looked more serious. He is a person who does not smile, and his murderous aura makes people subconsciously dare not relax their tightness.

However, at the mention of Master, Qing Yu's expression changed slightly.
