With the unanimous consent of everyone, tonight's supper is determined to be a barbecue.

Zou Li called Zheng Ming, who was in the base. After checking the handover process and ensuring that it was correct, he asked Zheng Ming to do some preparations for the barbecue.

When they returned to the base, there were racks for barbecue in the open space outside the base, and several boxes filled with ice water were soaking beer. Zheng Ming is preparing the sauce for the barbecue at the moment.

"You've done a great job." Zheng Ming saw the team members coming back and greeted.

"You've worked hard too!" After Zou Li finished speaking, he looked back at everyone, "Wash the blood on your body first, and then come out to eat!" ”

Uncle Mo, Ye Xiao and Li Tong were splashed with the most blood, and Zou Li was also splashed with a lot of blood when he lost his mind and hammered "No. 1".

Among the group, only Yu Zhao's body was relatively clean. However, he also got a little blood stained during the physical hypnosis phase.

"Hmm." The crowd responded.

In addition to Li Tong......

"I'm so hungry!"

After Zou Li gave the order, he didn't seem to hear it at all, rubbed his stomach, and still walked towards the food by himself.

Ye Xiao sighed, grabbed Li Tong by the collar at the back of his neck, and dragged him towards the base.

In addition to being highly defensive, the uniforms issued by the Bureau of Investigation are coated with a special material to prevent blood and other dirt from adhering to the clothing.

Most of the stains can be easily removed with a little rinse, and with the effect of the waterproof coating, you can put it on immediately after washing.

However, as Ye Xiao and the others who live in the base, they have a more convenient choice.

After a while, Yu Zhao and the others came out of the base one after another, and all the blood stains on their bodies disappeared.

And except for Yu Zhao, everyone else took off the uniform of the Investigation Bureau and changed into their usual clothes when they went out.

Li Tong and Ye Xiao are respectively energetic short-sleeved T-shirts, and if they are unfortunately splashed with oil, in order to make it less obvious, the two of them chose a dark black combination.

Zou Li changed into a sleeveless vest from his workout, revealing his muscles and scars.

Uncle Mo's outfit is more flattering to his age, wearing a black brocade shirt, shorts and cloth shoes, and a paper fan painted with landscape pictures, living off the image of a stubborn master.

When everyone came out, Zheng Ming had already placed some slices of meat on the baking sheet. Under the scorching flame, the aroma of meat mixed with marinade fills the air.

"It smells so good!"

"Hurry up, I can't take it anymore, I'm so hungry!"

Li Tong trotted and sat down first.

Then, in the midst of relaxed laughter, everyone gathered around the barbecue fire.

Supper begins.

……

In the cold, damp alley, a pair of brothers scanned the empty alley with all their energy, and no wind or grass could escape their eyes.

"Brother, why hasn't Mr. Yu come yet? It's almost dawn! ”

"What are you worried about! I'm telling you, the longer we keep it, the more we earn. As soon as Mr. Yu came, we cried miserably, hugging his thighs and crying! ”

"Hey, hey, great idea! Brother, let's do it! ”

While the two were chatting, a little girl dressed in white with a teddy bear in her arms walked into the alley.

She was quiet, with her head bowed so that it was impossible to see her face.

As the little girl entered, the alley was full of wind and suddenly became extremely cold.

……

"Thanks to Yu Zhao this time, otherwise things would be in trouble!"

Zou Li stood up and proposed that everyone pay tribute to Yu Zhao.

Everyone raised their glasses.

Yu Zhao said, "I'm just doing my duty, and it's all thanks to the captain's wise decision to be so successful today!" ”

When Zou Li heard this, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

"In that case, let's toast me again! Hahaha! ”

Without carrying out the task, everyone is extraordinarily relaxed.

This kind of relaxed atmosphere, even in this day and age, can only be seen in areas with a level of tertiary pollution.

Yu Zhao liked this atmosphere very much, and after a long absence, he inadvertently drank two more glasses.

Three rounds of drinking.

"Why did everyone join the Bureau of Investigation?" Yu Zhao took a sip of wine and asked curiously.

He wanted to get to know his teammates better.

"Why joined the Bureau of Investigation?"

After Yu Zhao's words were asked, everyone fell silent and began to remember why they wanted to join the Investigation Bureau...... It's a very simple question.

The first person to answer was Zheng Ming.

He looked at Yu Zhao, "My parents are both teachers at the Perul Academy, and I am a member of the Awakened family. ”

Then, he explained to Yu Zhao: "The body structure of the awakened will change after awakening, so most of the offspring born after awakening will also awaken their abilities, and they are born awakened. Many of the investigators are members of different Awoken families, which is not unusual on the occult side. ”

In addition to becoming an investigator, the Awakened who join the Bureau of Investigation can also take on many other positions, such as the Intelligence Division, the Research Department, or become a teacher in an academy or training camp.

And even if they don't do work related to the mystical side, they can live well in ordinary society with their extraordinary physique.

"As for why I want to become an investigator...... Zheng Ming smiled self-deprecatingly, "At first, I didn't know, but my parents told me to do it." It's like when you were a kid and didn't know why you went to school. ”

Many children don't know what the meaning of school is at the beginning, and many concepts can only be passively received, and teachers, parents, and relatives are telling children "why" all the time, although they don't understand it.

As they grow up and build up their own consciousness, they will think for themselves about the "why" that has been instilled.

For life, they will have their own immature thinking.

Rebellious, rebellious.

Many people will establish wrong ideas and embark on the wrong path in life. Those pagans who rebelled against humanity, as well as awakened ones who violated the law, their minds and characters were mostly formed at that moment.

"Later...... I read a lot of books and attended a lot of funerals. It gradually became clear......" Zheng Ming's eyes flashed with a moment of sadness.

"I joined the Bureau of Investigation so that more people don't have to join the Bureau."

The space was silent for a few seconds.

Everyone recalled this sentence in their hearts.

"yes, for the sake of more people not having to join the Bureau of Investigation." Zou Li smiled helplessly, looked at Ye Xiao and said, "All the students of the academy think like this. ”

Then, he raised his glass and said, "To this fucking world!" ”

"To this fucking world!"

Putting down the cup, Zheng Ming looked at Li Tong beside him, "You are not from the academy, by the way, I have always been curious why you joined the Investigation Bureau?" ”

At this moment, Li Tong was "inhaling the storm" of the barbecue in front of him, and was suddenly named by Zheng Ming, raised his head blankly and replied:

"Why did I join the Bureau of Investigation......" The expression on his face became even more confused, "I really thought about it just now. ”

"The original idea was revenge." Li Tong said calmly.

"Revenge?" Yu Zhao did not know Li Tong's life before joining the Investigation Bureau.

The calm tone said something shuddering.

"If the captain and Sister Ye hadn't arrived, I don't know what I would have done after that......

"Later, I went to visit the children who were going through the same situation as me, who were much younger than me...... But these children are not as lucky as I am, they do not have the ability to awaken. ”

Someone who did not become an Awakened ...... They just got out of control.

These out-of-control children are destined to be different from other peers, and some of them are even destined to fail to return to society.

Li Tong took a sip of wine, and let the painful expression be replaced by calm, "So, I think the idea of supporting me to continue as an investigator has changed from then on, and I want to protect those children so that more children don't have to be like me." ”

Protect those children, even then he was a child.

For the sake of those children, Li Tong did the last thing he wanted to do - killing.

Yu Zhao wanted to comfort him, but he saw that Li Tong had changed back to his usual appearance, innocent and addicted to dry rice.

"Sometimes, it's good to be optimistic and alive." He retracted his thoughts and sighed in his heart.

Then, Ye Xiao looked at Uncle Mo who was sitting in the corner fanning the wind, and asked with a wicked smile: "Uncle Mo, it's time to tell your story!" ”

Not only Yu Zhao, everyone present was very curious about Uncle Mo's life experience, and he was very low-key on weekdays, and he never told Zou Li and them anything.

Uncle Mo smiled, "The reason why I joined the Investigation Bureau is similar to everyone else, it is nothing more than to protect human beings and fight against false monsters. Nothing new. ”

Seeing that Lao Mo refused, Zou Li changed his attitude and admonished: "Today's orientation party, then you can tell a story with young people casually!" ”

He also really wanted to hear about Lao Mo's experience.

"Now that the captain has spoken."

With the strength of the wine, Uncle Mo smiled kindly.

"I'll tell you about my first mission."

"Yay!"

Everyone applauded and cheered, and then quickly quieted down, staring at Uncle Mo intently.

"I remember it was more than thirty years ago, winter. My team went to deal with a B-class virtual monster......"

B-class virtual monster ......

Everyone's faces showed curiosity, how could Uncle Mo, who only mastered the ability of Serial Number 14, be able to participate in the work of the second-level investigator?

Uncle Mo saw their curiosity and explained: "My situation is quite special, and I can't follow the requirements of ordinary investigators. ”

Explained, but not really explained.

In short, everyone doesn't care about the strength of the wine.

Yu Zhao took a sip of wine, combined with Uncle Mo's ability and his combat skills, and remembered a department that the Investigation Bureau did not publicize to the outside world-the Assassination Department.

The mission of the Assassination Department is simple, as its name suggests, to assassinate people who might be a danger to the Bureau.

Individuals who have been confirmed to have been assassinated by the Bureau of Investigation in the future are:

The sixth president of the Heroes of the Giarso, who tried to provoke a war between the Bureau of Investigation and the Hunters Association, was later discovered by the Bureau of Investigation and assassinated.

The third pope of the Order of Pasar, who was assassinated for trying to use the ritual of pleasing to prolong his life.

In addition to the above two, there are many more.

When the members of the Assassination Department reach a certain age, they will be whitewashed and re-live in a new identity, and they can choose to leave the mysterious side world completely and return to ordinary society, or they can continue to stay in the Investigation Bureau.

"If Uncle Mo is really a former member of the Assassination Department of the Investigation Bureau...... This squad is really not as simple as it seems. Yu Zhao sighed in his heart.

Subsequently, Uncle Mo continued to talk about his so-called first mission to join the Investigation Bureau.

It is very dangerous, and the investigation of the case is comparable to a detective novel, and its twists and turns are very eye-catching.

Uncle Mo took a sip of wine and continued: "In the end, I rode my motorcycle out of the window of the high-rise building and flew straight into another building! That's how you escaped from the fire! ”

Telling the story, Uncle Mo's demeanor also seemed to return to his youth.

When everyone heard this, they applauded, and they were equally excited!

Motorcycle?

After Yu Zhao was excited, he seemed to suddenly remember something......

"Holy!"

Those two brothers won't be around!

……

Little sister, can't you find your family? ”

The two strong men said as they walked over curiously.

They had never seen the child in this alley, and subconsciously thought that it was the unconscionable parent who went to the party who left the child behind.

But the more they walked in the direction of the child, the more cold they felt.

When they got close to the distance of three or four meters, the two of them could already see the white breath exhaling from their mouths!

The body shivered incessantly...... Even the most unresponsive person should be aware that something is wrong at this moment.

"Brother, what's the situation......

"I don't know, but I feel like I'm going to run!"

Perhaps sensing the thoughts of the two brothers, the little girl tilted her head, and the expression on her face became more and more cold and hideous!

The fear that spreads from the soles of the feet to the hearts is shivering, and not only because of the cold weather.

"Run!"

Without the slightest hesitation, the two turned around and ran!

What Yu Zhao's motorcycle? What kind of money do you make? Where is the money important!

The little girl who saw the two fleeing hugged the teddy bear tightly, and still chased after them with that expression!

For some reason, such a petite figure was able to catch up with two sturdy adult men.

The distance between the two is constantly being narrowed.

Just a few seconds later, the two brothers saw a familiar figure in front of them - Yu Zhao.

"Hello, how's my motorcycle?" Yu Zhao greeted the two with a smile.

After remembering that his motorcycle was still in this alley, Yu Zhao told everyone that it was almost the end of the supper, so he hurried over.

As the two approached without interrupting, Yu Zhao sensed that something was wrong.

In the next second, when he saw the little girl chasing after the two, the smile on his face became even brighter!

"Oh, I didn't expect to be able to work overtime when looking for a motorcycle!"

He excitedly touched the holster under his armpit.

However......

The two brothers who came in front of him suddenly grabbed Yu Zhao's arms one by one, one left and one right, put him in the air, and continued to escape!

"Mr. Yu, run! There are monsters! ”

How so...... At that moment, Yu Zhao was stunned!
