Chapter 6 Thus Embarked on the Thief Ship
"What kind of ancient text is dragged, and if you decide, hurry up and sign the contract for me!"
The director didn't notice the emotions that Wu Ming had been intoxicated for a long time, and slapped a pile of paper on the latter's hand: "This is a labor contract in duplicate, if you think it's okay after reading it, you will sign it numbly!" β
Wu Ming began to flip through the labor contract in his hand, but after reading two pages, his face gradually became strange.
It's not that the contract is full of outlandish demands or profanity, but it's ...... It's that the content of this contract in my hand is too normal!
In these extraordinary events that Wu Ming experienced today, the content of the labor contract in his hand has even become the most normal thing!
Except for some words that are as difficult to understand as professional terms in the contract, the content inside is normal and ordinary beyond Wu Ming's expectations: the work content is mainly to assess the danger level of [anomalies] on the earth and the follow-up treatment work, 'recycle' the management of the [anomalies] that have signed a shelter agreement with the firm, and by the way, help the firm deal with some small troubles on the earth that they are inconvenient to interfere with.
The contract also clearly states that he can enjoy various miscellaneous benefits during the probationary period and the labor security that the firm will provide to him - including but not limited to the main god style full body repair, all-round body enhancement techniques that can strengthen you to +10 from the blind spots to nails, the right to borrow books in the forbidden library for free, the permission to jump in the worlds, and the resurrection of the reading slip after death, and so on.
Oh, and there is also a year-end bonus for the Chinese New Year.
Wu Ming, who once thought that he was even going to work for this mysterious organization as written in various stories, looked at the director who was picking his teeth with a toothpick with some surprise.
Feeling Wu Ming's gaze, the director glared back with an unkind face: "What are you looking at?" β
Wu Ming honestly said what he thought in his heart, but he was disdainfully looked at by the director: "What do you think?" Even the employees of the secret society have to support their families, otherwise there would be no necromancers who would become surgeons and forensic doctors. Besides, in the future work, whether it is contact or dealing with [abnormality], you need a certain degree of self-protection ability, and if I don't put your labor insurance in order, I will have to find an unlucky guy to top your bag. β
Wu Ming: "......"
Naturally, there was no problem with the contract, at least Wu Ming didn't see any problems, the benefits were readily available, and the work content was clear and clear, so he signed it without much trouble.
The director took the signed contract, then held the pen against his chin as if to consider signing. Originally, Wu Ming thought that she could take this opportunity to get a glimpse of the director's real name, but she suddenly shouted, and then bit her thumb and pressed twice on the two contracts where Party A should have signed.
Wu Ming was stunned for a moment: when the director bit his thumb, he thought that the latter was going to shout the psychic technique to summon some strange summons! Even if you don't want to reveal your real name, you can't do it!
"It's like Li. (This is yours)" The director sucked his fingers and threw one of the contracts to Wu Ming, watching the latter hurriedly catch the contract: "From now on, you will be a probationary employee of our Lucky Ancient God Office." Come, I'll show you the door first. Although the office has a special passage in the material world, it is actually a place that breaks the shackles of time, space and dimension, and is located between dream and reality, spirit and matter, and is originally a room that can only be visited by guests who have signed a contract in some form......"
The director's serious rhetoric almost fooled Wu Ming into itβif it weren't for the fact that the latter himself was a dead house and a late-stage meme enthusiast: "But director, isn't your rhetoric the flickering style of the long-nosed old man in the female * Persona?" β
"If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a dumb person! Walk you! β
The cosmic galaxy with the director as the center of the starlight and brilliance began to produce large-scale information fluctuations that could not be observed by Wu Ming, and the original eternal spatial structure was constantly changing and correcting under the secret operation of the director, and a number of instructions were entered one after another to wake up the program of standby mode, which also made this slit space located in matter and spirit, reality and dreams begin to change rapidly towards the appearance that Wu Ming can understand and clearly recognize, and with the rapid retreat of the cosmic galaxy, it is displayed in front of him.
Although the changes in space are very complicated, they last for a very short time, for Wu Ming, who does not have an extraordinary perspective, he just feels that the complex changes in the spatial structure after a trance have tended to end, and when he came back to his senses, he found that he and his director were already in front of a dilapidated European-style castle.
The castle in front of you has obviously experienced a tragic war, and there is basically no place where the castle can be preserved well, and the outer walls of the castle as a defense against foreign enemies have mostly been reduced to ruins in the war, and the walls that are still standing tenaciously are now full of devastation, and the walls are full of gaps caused by various siege weapons. The castle gate standing in front of Wu Ming was more like it had been bombarded by some high-energy weapon, most of the city gate had disappeared, leaving only a small half of the city gate base covered with crystalline material at the top, Wu Ming felt that this might be a crystalline body produced after the rock was melted by ultra-high temperature and cooled.
The once towering watchtowers built on the walls of the city are now all that remains of the half-section of the towers on the walls, which are mixed with the collapsed walls and become rubble ruins that are not visible in their original faces. What's even more terrifying is that Wu Ming also saw from a distance a huge axe that penetrated the sky and the earth was deeply embedded in the center of the castle, not only accurately splitting the Byzantine-style vaulted fortress in half from the center, but also splitting a bottomless ravine that ran through the castle and extended to the end of the wasteland horizon!
The gloomy and oppressive gray clouds flashed from time to time dazzling electric light, bringing a brief light to this lifeless wasteland, and at the same time, the shadows of the sparse and dead trees on the wasteland were twisted into a hideous, strange and terrifying ghost shadow projected on the crumbling castle, setting off the atmosphere of the castle like a hundred ghosts walking at night and a group of demons dancing wildly.
The atmosphere is exactly the same as the castles in those suspenseful, thriller, and horror movies that cause some supernatural murders!
"Let's go, let's go in."
I don't know if it's because this tragic scene is a bit touching, and the director's voice seems to have become a little gloomy.
"This is where the Lucky Old God Office is located?" Wu Ming looked at this dilapidated scene, and looked at the giant axe embedded in the ground from afar, and his mind had already begun to make up the epic picture of the members of the Lucky Ancient God Office fighting against the giant who was wielding a giant axe in vain to destroy the world in order to protect the world, and suddenly couldn't help but feel a little reverence in his heart: "Here...... You must have experienced an earth-shattering epic battle not long ago, right? β
As the director has said before, their scope of business also includes saving the world. Originally, Wu Ming thought that it was not a big deal to save the world and bless others to get good grades in the school entrance exam, but now after seeing such a scene, he began to change a little.
INTERVIEWER Now that I'm one of them, will I have to take on such a responsibility one day?
"You're thinking too much, this is my new desktop ...... I just replaced"
Wu Ming's eyebrows twitched, and he suddenly thought of the starry sky just now: "The starry sky of the universe just now......"
The director had a smug smile on his face: "That's the screen protection I made on the spot, creative, right?" β
- I knew it! I knew I must have been overthinking it again!!
"Today, your first day of work, I'll show you the way."
Passing through the ruined city gate and the ruins outside the city, the two walked straight to the vaulted castle that was split in half by a giant axe, and pointed to the giant axe embedded in the ground in the atrium and said: "The giant axe divides the atrium into two parts, the left and right parts of the atrium, and goes out of the corridor on the left side of the atrium to the infinity corridor, as the name suggests, it is a long corridor with infinite multiple rooms inside, and the room shape will be automatically adjusted according to the characteristics of the user, usually used for centralized containment and management of [anomalies], in your words, it is to live in a collective apartment, if there is a containment and management of [ Exception], after the data is registered, it will be sent here according to the number, and on the right is a multi-functional support module composed of several functional areas, but you don't need this aspect for the time being......"
The director took Wu Ming around the castle, and after briefly explaining a few areas that Wu Ming needed to know, he led him to his office.
Then Wu Ming saw Elizabeth sitting at the desk holding a bowl of fried rice and eating a lot, a puppet girl sitting next to her like a great enemy, guarding her every move, and a ...... A blue translucent crystal suspended in mid-air that changes back and forth between hexahedron, octahedron, and dodecahedron, ah, it's now tetrahedron.
"Wow! Aren't you like the good guy who helped me before! Elizabeth, who had been here for a long time, was also stunned when she saw her acquaintance, and then she was so excited that she didn't have time to swallow her meal and exclaimed: "You guys are finally here!" I've been waiting for you for a long time! Wait until you're hungry! β
The puppet girl was also a little surprised to see Wu Ming here, in her data analysis, the latter was just an ordinary person who was involved in this accident (in fact, she was right), and now this unreasonable situation made her feel puzzled, although the puppet girl's emotions were not as superficial as Elizabeth's, but the pair of inorganic and unfocused eyes were always quietly watching Wu Ming.
The tetrahedral crystals suspended in mid-air shook up and down, as if they were saluting the director, and then began to report the situation: "Director, according to your arrangement, a simple vital sign test has been carried out for the two ladies, and all indicators are at normal values and there is no phenomenon of information assimilation and distortion, and at the same time, you have patiently answered the questions of the two ladies, and they have a basic understanding of the current situation and the affairs of the lucky ancient gods...... But Miss Elizabeth kept crying out that she was hungry, so I took it upon myself to offer her lunch. β
"yes, I see." The director nodded, walked to the desk, leaned back on his chair without any image, and crossed his legs on the table: "Wu Ming, you can sit casually, let's talk about business." β
"On the placement of these two little girls......"
Somehow, hearing the director's words, Wu Ming, who had just found a chair to sit down, suddenly had a premonition in his heart.
