7. Invitation from the United Kingdom (II)
For John of England. Yi An. Political Commissar Dukov, the unlucky colleague who died tragically under the tire of a Harley-Davidson locomotive, the strangers of the Fourth Independent Squad of the Chengguan Dogtooth International Column Traverser just sighed and left it behind.
However, when Professor Yang read the next confidential email, Wang Qiu could no longer remain calm.
“…… The Global Adepts are scheduled to hold their regular annual gathering in London, while the British Ministry of Magic is hosting a global tender to outsource the handling of supernatural events? Ask if anyone in our team is going to follow? Is this a joke? He cried out in disbelief, "...... Supernatural events such as the invasion of the Otherworld and the rescue of the Traveler are almost as good as national defense! How can the weapon of the kingdom be given to others? ”
“…… It's hard to say! Wang Qiu's younger brother. However, during the Cold War, the British handed over their nuclear weapons to the United States, and the Koreans handed over the supreme command of the armed forces to the US military headquarters in Korea, and the Kingdom of Bhutan simply entrusted the entire defense work to India......
Senior Sister Ma Tong shrugged her shoulders and said disappreciably, "...... You probably don't know it yet! At present, the British have outsourced the railways, the police, the fire brigade, the running water, and electricity to private companies, and have not called for help from other countries in various supernatural events, but now they have only made it clear that they will one day outsource the government to foreigners, and I will not find it strange......"
- What do you say about the British Empire...... Wang Qiu couldn't help but roll his eyes, "...... But. Even if the British really want to outsource the handling of supernatural events, for the sake of political correctness, they probably won't find a so-called 'authoritarian state' like ours, right? ”
“…… This one...... The nature of our Chengguan Canine Tooth International Column should be considered quite special! Legally. We can say that we are a government department, we can say that we are a public institution, we can say that we are a collective enterprise, and we can also say that we are an international cooperation organization, but as for what exactly it is, it is a 'prohibited matter' -- in short, no one can say clearly...... Anyway, we're all temporary workers, yes! ”
Ma Tong pursed his lips, "...... As a poor dispatch worker. Our slogan is, to provide every customer with the most enthusiastic violent service! ”
“…… Hey, it seems that it's easy for people to mistake our unit for an S&M's abuse club......" Wang Qiu rolled his eyes again.
“…… In fact. Comrade Wang Qiu, there is really no need to be too surprised, because transnational cooperation and subcontracting for assistance on supernatural issues have always been a common practice in the international community -- otherwise. Do you think that our organization weishenme is going to be called the Chengguan Dogtooth International Column? ”
Professor Yang also followed suit. Then without waiting for Wang Qiu to respond, he continued to speak to himself, "...... First of all, this is naturally because there are some foreign members in our organization, but most importantly, the Chinese government is not the only unit authorized to enforce the law!
For example, in England's Ministry of Magic. Now there is simply no more domestic magician and supernatural who are in the compilation, and when encountering similar problems, they can only find foreign contractors to act as agents. Instead, our unit has received a lot of commissions...... Of course, small countries with few people, such as Luxembourg, Brunei, Uruguay, Iceland, Nauru, etc., are our main customers.
You must know that even in a country as populous as China, there have never been more than a hundred spatial superpowers in the country at the same time. And with the size of the population of a small country like theirs, sometimes there is not even a single person in the whole country who can cross the wormhole, but the wormhole and visitors from the other world may not know when they will appear on their land - in such a situation, what can they do but call for foreign help? ”
After explaining the reasons why the Shijie countries cooperated with each other on occult issues, Professor Yang advised Wang Qiu that it would be best to take this opportunity to go to London for a long time and get to know his colleagues from the Shijie countries...... This can not only accumulate contacts, but also be very beneficial to solve some current troubles - for example, in view of the bottleneck of the operation of ancient Egyptian time and space, you can consult and refer to the opinions of representatives of other countries, and even recruit some foreign people who are interested and have jishu capital to jointly develop ancient Egyptian time and space, and so on. So, Wang Qiu nodded and agreed to the matter, and the right to go abroad to relax. And Cai Rong jumped up even more happily, "Okay! Finally, I can go to the UK again! ”
Then, the enthusiasm of this vitality loli was immediately poured with a scoop of cold water, "...... It's a pity that the only candidates for our team to go to the UK this time are Comrade Wang Qiu and Comrade Sonya, and everyone else has to stay at their posts! Especially Cai Rong, as a student, your most important task now is to study hard to meet the college entrance examination! Don't think about going out and running around all day if you're fine! Professor Yang admonished with a serious face.
“…… Wang Qiu, he is obviously still a student! weishenme, but you persuaded him to go out? Cai Rong's delicate little face was full of "unconvinced".
“…… You say Comrade Wang Qiu? Where can he compare to you? He is now in his fourth year of college, and he has already learned what he can learn in class, and now he needs more social practice. Professor Yang said with a look of course.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
"Since the day he was born, he has been the only one of his parents,
The fate of the future depends on the results, and the tutoring begins before he is stable.
Obviously he is only one meter tall, but he is carrying a three-pound schoolbag,
Hunched back to the first grade, no matter how heavy the burden is, you have to endure it.
It's not that I don't know, if you can't go to college, you can only ask for food on the street,
'I'm tired' heartfelt words are scolded every time,
Scores, this sacred thing, distress,
Every day I open my eyes, and then I drown in a book.
There is no such thing as a vacation, there is no concept at all.
Whenever there is free time, there will be more cram schools,
I don't know when to relax.
Ahhh......hhh
finally survived the high school entrance examination, and the college entrance examination is gradually approaching.
The burden is immediately tripled, and who is to blame for never being taller?
At one o'clock in the morning, I blinked and found that the mountain of work in front of me was still there,
'Get a high score!' These words echoed in my mind countless times,
Sighing and looking at the darkness outside the window, he picked up the pen,
Even if I went to a good middle school, I didn't have time to be happy.
Expensive tuition, unlimited assignments,
He is still far from adulthood, but there are traces of gray hair on his head.
I can't live this cup of life.
Oops......
For 18 years has been preparing for three days,
Mechanically reading and writing word by word,
I can't understand why the evidence of all the hard work doesn't count,
But only this one-time result is received,
Oops......"
In the early morning of the next day, in the crisp and pleasant but full of resentment farewell songs of Cai Rong, Wang Qiu and Sonya, who were full of black lines, embarked on a journey to Shanghai Pudong International Airport, where they planned to meet the rest of the Chinese delegation and fly to London together...... (To be continued......)
