Chapter XVIII
"What? Refuse! ”
Zhou Wen's headphones came another exclamation, as well as various orders to keep Yu Zhao no matter what.
Compared to the noise coming from the headphones.
Zhou Wen was obviously calmer, retracting the hand that had been stretched out, the expression on her face was not embarrassed, and a confident gentle smile still appeared.
"It was the right response." She said to herself.
If Yu Zhao readily accepted it just based on the conversation just now, then there would be a problem.
Recruitment is to be terminated immediately, and heavily armed security personnel outside are to immediately contain Yu Zhao and contain him.
Because in the conversation just now, she deliberately avoided a question.
That is, what are the benefits of joining the Bureau of Investigation?
All the people in the world are purposeful in their choices and actions, and everyone is driven by the "profit" in their hearts. Profit, not only money, power, desire, but also national peace and security, world wars and so on.
As the old saying goes: the world is bustling, all for profit; The world is crowded, all for profit.
Judging from the information obtained by the intelligence group, Yu Zhao is not a person who is willing to sacrifice himself for the sake of world peace, just like most of the awakened people recruited by the people.
Selfish, self-interested.
Such a person would never sacrifice himself for the sake of humanity.
If Fang Cai Yu Zhao agreed to join the Investigation Bureau, then his purpose was definitely not pure.
For the Bureau of Investigation, this is dangerous.
Because in the past, there had been a similar incident in the Bureau of Investigation, where the heretic deceived the recruiters, causing the Bureau of Investigation to experience its greatest crisis since its establishment.
……
Ellen Stens.
In the future, many things that preceded the cataclysm were deliberately concealed, but this is the only thing that almost all investigators knew. And with the explosion of the number of infidels, the recruitment process is more rigorous and meticulous than it was a hundred years ago.
The first invitation is a trap to exclude those moles who are trying to join the Bureau of Investigation – the less intelligent ones.
Therefore, Yu Zhao decisively refused.
And he was not worried that his judgment would be wrong, by observing Zhou Wen's expression, Yu Zhao knew that someone was manipulating this conversation, presumably the upper echelons of the Investigation Bureau.
Combined with his own suspicions, as well as his mastery of the investigation bureau's recruitment process.
Yu Zhao reasoned that the current bureau of investigation is divided on how to deal with itself.
Containment, or recruitment.
Zhou Wen is definitely here to recruit herself, there is no doubt about this, otherwise there is no need to talk.
Then, when she asks about what happened in the alley, Yu Zhao determines that the person she is communicating with is the Containment faction.
Therefore, Yu Zhao added the key information of "the weakness of virtual monsters" to the story he told, so that those people could change their opinions and add security for joining the Investigation Bureau.
Even if he really talks to Zhou Wen and collapses, those upper echelons will definitely let them join.
Because they will soon find out that what they say is true, and that the Void Monster really has weaknesses.
At that time, they will become their "profits" and become pawns in their games.
At this stage, Yu Zhao is happy to be a pawn in their hands.
……
"Don't be too busy refusing just yet, Mr. Yu Zhao." Zhou Wen said with a smile, she took out a document again and pushed it in front of Yu Zhao.
Yu Zhao opened it, and it recorded all the information that he could consult from childhood to adulthood.
Official information such as the hospital in which he was born, the school he attended, and even his personal relationships, as well as the illegal means used to investigate the case, are very detailed.
Zhou Wen took a sip of water and said, "Mr. Yu Zhao, we found out that you were admitted to the Department of Archaeology of Capital University with very excellent results, and your grades have always been excellent during your time in school. However...... You dropped out of school three years ago and soon started working as a paranormal detective. ”
"What do you want to say?" Yu Zhao's face sank.
"Your father committed a mega financial case three years ago and then disappeared. The victims found your sister. Moreover...... Almost committed an unpardonable sin. So, in order to pay back the money and provide for your sister's education, you become a detective. ”
Zhou Wen's information is very accurate, if Yu Zhao comes back one day later, no one can know what will happen to his sister, but Yu Zhao will definitely do something because of it......
He who is angry enough to lose his mind will become even more terrible than a beast.
"Now that you know everything, there's no need for me to hide it. I needed money, lots and lots of money, not to atone for my damn father. ”
A moment of hatred flashed across Yu Zhao's face, then he took a deep breath and the hatred vanished.
"It's to protect my sister, she shouldn't bear this."
"You're a good brother." Zhou Wen applauded Yu Zhao lightly, "So, don't you want to provide a better environment for your sister?" As long as you join the Bureau of Investigation. ”
Yu Zhao heard the other party's meaning clearly.
"How much?"
"Enough for you to pay off the rest of the debt, which was lent to you by the Bureau of Investigation, to be repaid in installments. It is deducted from the payroll paid each month. The rest is enough for your brothers and sisters to live a privileged life in Linjiang. ”
For the Bureau of Investigation, the benefits of adding an investigator are much higher than the amount of money paid.
"It's tempting, and I don't seem to have a reason to refuse."
This time, Yu Zhao did not refuse.
……
Subsequently, Zhou Wen did not let Yu Zhao leave, but took him to an elevator leading to the underground, which has and only one floor button.
After brushing her face in the scanning area, she pressed the button and explained:
"Yu Zhao, before you become an investigator, you still need to complete one more thing."
"What?"
Of course, Yu Zhao knew what he was going to do, and this was the final step in completing the recruitment.
"Go and take the oath."
Soon the elevator to the end.
In front of them was a deep passageway, flanked by equally spaced metal doors, barely illuminated by a dim light at the top.
Eerie, with occasional wails echoing.
"It used to be a nuclear bomb shelter, and now it's used to preserve and contain things that can't be explained by science."
Zhou Wen explained, and then, she said to Yu Zhao like a threat: "You were almost locked up here. ”
Hearing this, Yu Zhao was silent, as if he was really frightened by Zhou Wen.
Seeing this, Zhou Wen said expressionlessly: "Teasing you." ”
After Yu Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, she continued to add, "With your level of danger, it is not your turn to be contained in this place. The people contained here are real monsters. ”
Monsters?
When the two of them passed by a room called "269", Yu Zhao glanced inside, and now this room was still empty.
Retracting their gaze, the two continued forward.
There is also an iron gate at the end of the passage, but unlike the other iron gates that are distributed on both sides of the passage, this one is red, like the color of blood.
There were two guards standing at the door.
Yu Zhao couldn't discern the other party's awakening ability, and could only vaguely sense that these two people were very strong, far stronger than his current self!
"Minister Zhou, why did you personally bring the newcomer down today!" One of the guards said, he looked at Yu Zhao and gave a thumbs up enthusiastically, "Young man, there is a future!" ”
Another guard looked Yu Zhao up and down, and asked suspiciously, "Young man, is it convenient to tell me what your awakened ability is called?" ”
Yu Zhao smiled modestly, "Of course, two seniors. My awakened ability is [No. 9: Super Sensitive]. ”
Upon hearing the name, the smile on the enthusiastic guard's face froze.
"No. 9......"
Unlike the other people who heard this serial number, the expressions on the faces of the two were not only shocked, but also a little puzzled, and they could even see the suppressed fear in their eyes.
"How can it be serial number 9?"
The space became silent.
Yu Zhao looked at the expressions of the two of them and sensed that something was wrong, especially the inexplicable fear...... Could it be that No. 9 hides a secret that he doesn't know?
Syllable!
At this moment, Zhou Wen suddenly clasped her palms together!
Loud applause echoed through the passage.
Displeasure was evident on her face.
"Two, it's time to open the door!"
Zhou Wen's voice broke the silence, and the two guards also came back to their senses and hurriedly took out the key.
Insert both keys into the red iron door at the same time, rotate it, and the door is pushed open at the same time as the mechanism sounds.
"Minister Zhou, please come in."
Entering the doorway space, you will be greeted by a large flat space, dozens of meters high, and the ground is full of mysterious patterns drawn with unknown white paint, countless patterns wrapping a building that resembles an altar.
"What is this?" Yu Zhao asked.
"A place to sign the ceremony."
"Go up to the altar and do as I say." Zhou Wen took out the dagger from her waist and handed it to Yu Zhao.
Seeing Yu Zhao's hesitation, she continued: "This is the process, something that all investigators have to go through. There was no danger, just a little blood. ”
Hearing this, Yu Zhao took the dagger and walked slowly to the altar.
He knew what it was.
If the previous inquiry was to weed out some of the bad guys, now the task is to weed out the smart people who have detected the trap!
In place, Yu Zhao looked at Zhou Wen.
Zhou Wen shouted: "Very good, I counted down three times, cut my arm, and let the blood flow to the ground." Get ready, three, two, one, hands-on! ”
Before the words fell, Yu Zhao cut his arm.
Blood gushed out instantly.
When the bright red fell to the ground, those mysterious patterns suddenly emitted a dazzling white light, twisting the arms like gods to bind Yu Zhao tightly!
"Don't be afraid, don't resist!"
Yu Zhao remained motionless and calm.
It wasn't the first time he'd experienced something like this, the last time he accompanied him through the oath was the old thing.
And this time the number of arms is much smaller than the last time.
Blood is still flowing.
"Very good, I'll say a word next, you can read it!"
Then, Yu Zhao heard the familiar oath from the mouths of others again:
"Under the depths of the sky, all living beings."
"All living beings are suffering, may I sacrifice."
"Sacrifice my flesh and blood to save all living beings."
"If I sleep forever, I will be buried on the other side."
……
Inside the Bureau of Investigation, somewhere in an office.
Zou Li stood respectfully at his desk, and behind the desk sat a middle-aged man with short gray hair, his left eye and left ear wrapped in a black turban that was slanted down, and the hideous wounds hidden under it could barely be seen from the edge of the black cloth.
He wears a brown leather coat with black gloves covering his hands.
The ferocity and majesty make people shudder.
The man held a detailed report of Yu Zhao in his hand.
It's just that in the hands of this man, Yu Zhao's psychological test score is different from the existence that Zhou Wen saw, and it has become extremely low, and even reached the edge of losing control.
It stands to reason that with this score, Yu Zhao will not be able to become an investigator, but will be contained.
However......
The man looked at the column of Yu Zhao's awakened ability, and muttered in a deep voice:
"No. 9? It's been a long time. ”
