Chapter 24: Two Choices
"Mr. Lin, I hope you can trust us a little more."
Xia Qiao's expression clearly carried a little "don't pretend".
"The full-time staff of our department has done a little bit of investigation on Mr. Lin in the past two days, and the results of the investigation show that you have solved at least two mysterious incidents, and at least one of them was solved by you alone."
Xia Qiao said slowly, piercing Lin Zhao.
Fortunately, I only know what happened to me in the past two days.
But even if I push it up for another ten days or eight days, there is a high probability that they will not be able to find out that I have a system.
Lin Zhao observed that although the whole person would disappear directly when he performed the punch-in task, the people around him would make up for it by themselves, and they would not feel strange.
Just like the quest characters in the quest world don't feel strange about Lin Zhao who disappears at 7 o'clock in the morning.
Lin Zhao's heart was slightly determined.
"What does it mean to join you? When you are a commissioner, do you eat official meals? ”
Lin Zhao didn't answer Xia Qiao's words and opened a new topic, which was equivalent to acknowledging the investigation results of Xia Qiao's colleagues.
"You have two options."
Xia Qiao held up two fingers.
"One, become a recorded official correspondent intern, join my team, directly under my command, responsible for dealing with all mysterious incidents that occur and occur in the city's Wushan District and Santa District, and if necessary, to support the teams in other jurisdictions. Deal with 10 mysterious incidents in total, regardless of success or failure, you can turn positive. The basic salary is 100,000 per month, which is doubled, and additional bonuses are issued for dealing with mysterious incidents. ”
"Second, I will become a supernumerary member of the special department on record, and if I am willing, I will assist my team in dealing with secret incidents, and I will be responsible for docking. In addition, if you personally encounter a tricky secret incident, you will have priority to be dealt with by the special department. The basic salary is also 100,000, and you will also get a bonus equal to option 1 for dealing with mysterious events. ”
100,000! Double! Bonus!
Hearing these words, Lin Zhao's heart seemed to be scratched by a claw, and it took him a few seconds to calm down and ask the question he had been wondering about.
"Looking at your skillful recruitment, it's clear that I'm not the first person you've been invited. It shows that there are many people like me, although they are not official correspondents, but they can also solve mysterious incidents, and they are nicknamed "private correspondents" by many netizens. Strangely, I couldn't find anything like that on the Internet......"
Is the news officially blocked?
Lin Zhao looked at Xia Qiao without saying a word.
Xia Qiao pondered for a while and said slowly, "You're right. ”
"Previously, the government had been concealing the existence of private commissioners in order to reduce the panic of the masses."
Lin Zhao showed a puzzled expression.
Isn't the more non-governmental commissioners there are, the more they can appease the masses? At least let everyone know that their lifebuoy is not just the special department.
Xia Qiao seemed to see Lin Zhao's thoughts.
"It was true at first, but I didn't expect things to gradually get out of official control."
Xia Qiao continued.
"In fact, the mysterious recovery lasted far more than a few months."
What!
When Lin Zhao heard this, he was taken aback, the memory in his mind that had been completely fused told him that the mysterious recovery was a matter of the past few months, and a few months ago, the world was still peaceful.
And now, suddenly, someone tells you that your world has long since collapsed.
But fortunately, since binding the system, Lin Zhao felt that his situation was similar to that of people who encountered mysterious events every day, so he quickly adjusted his mentality.
Xia Qiao quietly observed Lin Zhao's expression, and found that he was only stunned for a few seconds, and couldn't help but nod in his heart.
This Lin Zhao should be the best one in the recent batch of rookie reserves.
"Official scientists have not yet verified the origin of the mysteries, but it is certain that they existed a decade or even earlier, and are growing at a slow and steady rate."
The Special Commission is not a newly established department, it used to be known as the "Secret Investigation Department", and it was originally established only to better investigate mysterious incidents, not to deal with them. ”
Lin Zhao nodded, signaling that he was listening carefully.
Xia Qiao, who was opposite him, had a serious face.
"However, in the past year, for reasons that have not yet been identified, mysterious incidents have suddenly ushered in an explosive growth, and a large number of mysterious incidents have appeared all over the world, with a large number of casualties, forcing countries to jointly announce the arrival of the era of mysterious recovery."
"The secret investigation department was also revised to a special department."
I understand the reasoning.
"But what does this have to do with the official concealment of the civilian commissioner?"
Lin Zhao said curiously.
Xia Qiao glanced at Lin Zhao and continued.
"Because whether it is an official commissioner or a civilian commissioner, those who have the ability to solve mysterious incidents are the lucky ones."
"There are only two types of mystical events, lethal and non-lethal. Most people will inevitably die when they encounter deadly mysterious events, but there will also be a small number of survivors, and some of these survivors will have special abilities that can deal with ghosts and solve mysterious events, and these people are the "lucky ones". ”
"But the probability of becoming a lucky person is extremely low, and the appearance of each lucky person corresponds to the loss of thousands of lives."
"At first, a certain faction of officials in power thought that the existing forces were sufficient to deal with the mysterious incident, so they chose to suppress all the news related to the civil commissioners and a large number of secret incidents, and then recruit these private commissioners, so that they could appear in front of the public as official commissioners to deal with the mysterious incidents. In this way, the public will not feel that death is close to them, and their trust in the authorities will be greatly increased. ”
It's so ruthless, what's the difference between this and deceiving the people!
Lin Zhao frowned.
Xia Qiao paused, and then said: "But it's a pity that their plan can't keep up with the growth rate of the mysterious incident, and even if there is a concealment of the mysterious incident, it has reached a chilling level. The number of civil commissioners also increased with the number of occult incidents. ”
Xia Qiao sneered.
"Concealing the decision of the private commissioner became a joke. The people in power who proposed and supported this decision directly and collectively resigned a few days ago. ”
"Now the new decision above is to deal with the mystery at all costs, do everything possible to unite the available talents, and put everything else aside. I think in a few days, the ban on all kinds of private correspondent information on the Internet should be lifted, and the news related to the mysterious incident will become more and more transparent. ”
Lin Zhao suddenly realized at this time.
No wonder Xia Qiao said so much to himself.
It turned out to be a lack of people and indicators!
Xia Qiao gave Lin Zhao a few minutes to digest, and after the short hand of the watch in her hand crossed another number, she spoke again and said sincerely: "I already know everything, and now you know no less than me." ”
"We hope you can join us in helping us solve the mysterious incidents in our city and even in neighboring cities, and protect the safety of innocent people."
