Chapter V: Administration of Anomalous Matters
Zhao Xuan raised his head, and there was a red plaque hanging on the door of the small building. Although Zhao Xuan didn't understand, but looking at the dark red pattern of the plaque, there was a hint of gold, it was definitely not ordinary wood, and then looked at the big black characters engraved on it, "Abnormal Things Administration", he was even more surprised that his jaw was about to fall, that unique font was definitely from the leader's handwriting!
Zhao Xuan turned his head and stammered and asked Song Shaofeng: "What kind of place is this 'Abnormal Things Administration', and why is it so big?" How could you recruit such a small person as me? ”
"You'll have to ask the Director." Song Shaofeng didn't answer, but just took Zhao Xuan to the building: "Let's go, anyway, the director wants to see you, and the director of the bureau will definitely explain to you, and you will know later." As for why you were recruited, you can also ask, but as for whether to say it or not, I don't know. ”
Song Shaofeng took Zhao Xuan directly to the third floor, there were not many rooms in the building, and the doors were basically closed, and Zhao Xuan didn't see anyone coming in or out, but it seemed a little deserted.
There are only three rooms on the entire third floor, with the director on the side one. Song Shaofeng stepped forward and knocked on the door, and heard a voice coming from inside: "Is it Shaofeng?" Just come in. ”
Song Shaofeng motioned to Zhao Xuan to wait: "I'll report the incident to the director first, you wait a few minutes." Seeing that Zhao Xuan nodded in agreement, he turned around and entered the room.
After waiting for a few minutes, Song Shaofeng pushed the door out and let Zhao Xuan enter the room together.
Zhao Xuan took a look when he entered the door, but found that it was not an ordinary office, but a set of sofa coffee tables, which was a bit like a living room, where an old man was sitting making tea.
Song Shaofeng was very familiar with the old man, and while talking to the old man, he walked over and sat next to the old man, and at the same time motioned to Zhao Xuan to sit too: "Forest Bureau, Zhao Xuan is here." ”
Song Shaofeng was talking, ready to take the kettle in the hands of the Forest Bureau to make tea, but was let go by the Forest Bureau.
"Come on, what tea will you make, waste my good tea leaves." While continuing to make tea, the forest bureau said to Song Shaofeng: "You also sit, wait until you finish speaking, take Xiao Zhao to go around, and run again." ”
After that, he motioned to Zhao Xuan to sit down: "Xiao Zhao, sit down first, taste this year's Ming Qian tea, it's just the right time, and it's a little shocking." ”
Zhao Xuan recognized it as soon as he entered the door, this old man called the Forest Bureau was the one during the interview.
In this way, this civil service examination must be abnormal, but I don't know what is special about myself, and I want to recruit myself to this "abnormal things management bureau" in this way.
Although Zhao Xuan is a little indecisive, once something is determined, he will not think about it, as the saying goes, he is more "axis".
Since he decided to come here, Zhao Xuan didn't think much about it, and seeing that the Forest Bureau was very casual, he was no longer restrained. nodded, sat down next to Song Shaofeng, and faced the forest bureau.
Zhao Xuan tossed just now, and he was also a little thirsty, and a few people drank tea so casually.
The tea leaves of the Forest Bureau are indeed as he said, with a mouthful of fragrant lips and teeth, full of relish, and endless sweetness. Even ordinary people who don't know how to taste tea can drink it, and it's definitely good tea.
After drinking a few cups of tea, the forest bureau put down the teacup and said to Zhao Xuan: "Xiao Zhao, you should be able to see that although you came in from the regular exam, it is still a special move." Of course, don't say that. ”
Zhao Xuan didn't answer, just nodded.
"We must have recruited you for a special reason, but it's hard to tell you now." The forest bureau seemed to be a little afraid that Zhao Xuan would misunderstand, and explained: "Don't think about it, it's not because you just came, it's just that it's not time yet." ”
Seeing that Zhao Xuan didn't seem to have the intention of pursuing it, the Forest Bureau did not continue the topic: "Let's go back to the abnormal bureau." Remember what I asked you on the day of the interview? ”
"Do you believe in ghosts?" Zhao Xuan blurted out, and his impression was too deep: "It means that our bureau is a ghost hunter?" ”
Originally, Zhao Xuan didn't believe in such a thing as "ghosts" at all, but after what happened just now, Zhao Xuan's reaction to this question took a 180-degree turn.
"Yes and no." Lin Ju laughed, seemingly satisfied with Zhao Xuan's title of "our bureau", pushed the teacup on the table, and continued: "We are dealing with 'abnormal things', some of which are sometimes called 'ghosts' by the folk. Of course, we don't use a name like 'ghost' that is undefined, unclear, and inconsistent, because it does not conform to scientific principles, and the specific content will be told to you slowly by Shaofeng when I go back. ”
Song Shaofeng nodded beside him, signaling that he heard it.
"And that's just part of what we do, so I say 'yes' and 'no.'"
Zhao Xuan always felt a little unbelievable when he heard the Forestry Bureau explain the content of "ghosts" with "scientific thinking", but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that this was the right attitude, after all, an adult who had received more than ten years of materialist education wanted to suddenly overthrow his worldview, which is even more incredible.
The forest bureau poured himself a cup of tea, lifted the teacup, took a sip, and then continued: "Actually, our work is all in the name of the bureau. 'Abnormal things' refer to all kinds of things and things that cannot be explained by the existing scientific outlook for the time being, and the reason why it is called 'management' instead of 'processing' is because we do not just want to eliminate these things, but to study, analyze, and understand. Hehe, the name given by the leader is indeed very level. ”
"Our work is threefold." The forest bureau stretched out three fingers and shook it: "The first is not to let the appearance of these abnormal affairs affect the lives of ordinary people, no matter what, a reasonable explanation must be given, and one must be made up." In particular, to prevent it from impacting materialist scientific thinking at the core. ”
Zhao Xuan nodded in agreement, after all, if something like "haunting" is not handled well, especially in some areas with a low level of education, it may cause a great impact, and it may even be used by people with ulterior motives to breed organizations like "cults", then it will not be easy to end up in the future.
"Second, protect the lives and property of the people. Third, try to do scientific research if you have the opportunity. Note that this order cannot be changed, and there is priority. After the forest bureau finished speaking, he added: "There is a fourth point, this is my personal request, protect yourself." ”
Zhao Xuan listened, but his heart warmed, the last sentence of the forest bureau, whether it was sincere or not, at least in Zhao Xuan's life in recent years, he almost didn't hear such words.
"Today is mainly just to see you, but I am afraid that you will have doubts, and there will be more opportunities to meet in the future."
The forest bureau poured the tea from the teacup into the tea tray.
Zhao Xuan understood that this was a send-off, stood up, and nodded slightly: "Got it, Forest Bureau." ”
The forest bureau smiled: "Don't shout nonsense with them, I'm just the executive deputy director." ”
Zhao Xuan nodded to show that he understood, but Song Shaofeng next to him pursed his lips disapprenously, waved his hand to the forest bureau, and went out of the room with Zhao Xuan one after the other.
As soon as he got out of the small building, Zhao Xuan pulled Song Shaofeng over and asked, "What is the director's name?" ”
Song Shaofeng listened and pouted again: "Director Zhao Xudong and Deputy Director Zhang Tingyuan, the two disappeared more than 20 years ago, and I haven't seen them." Since then, it has been the Forestry Bureau that has presided over the overall work. ”
After saying this, Song Shaofeng seemed to feel that something was wrong, and added: "I heard that this bureau was established by the two of them, and they were also missing on a mission, although I also admire them, but the forest bureau always thinks that he is not qualified to be the director, and always thinks that these two people will come back, and the old man still agrees with this, but most of the new joiners don't think so." Also, the Forestry Bureau seems to be Director Zhao's student or apprentice, of course, this is hearsay. ”
Zhao Xuan understood, but this was an old thing in the unit, and it had nothing to do with him, and he didn't want to get involved too much. changed the topic and asked Song Shaofeng for some other things.
Song Shaofeng also knew everything: "You are in the field office, to put it bluntly, it is the department that goes out to deal with abnormalities, our team has just been established, there are five people in total, and I am the team leader." The group is called 'Journey to the West', don't ask me why, the forest bureau started. ”
Song Shaofeng scratched his head and continued: "There are three other people, Lin Ling, Cheng Shuman and Zhang Yuan, you have all seen it, Lin Ling was dug by the Forestry Bureau from the special forces, weapons experts. Cheng Schumann is the liaison officer, responsible for handling intelligence and analysis, mainly left-behind liaison. According to the words in the online game, it is to send tasks. Zhang Yuan, who is in charge of ancient documents, according to himself, is the descendant of Zhang Tianshi of Longhu Mountain, and he was the one who didn't go to Taiwan back then, so I don't have the right to see his information, and I don't know if it's true. As for me, I am in charge of information processing and technical equipment. And you, the Forestry Bureau didn't say what you were responsible for, and I don't know, so let's learn a little bit first. ”
Zhao Xuan didn't care much about it, he was a newcomer, and compared with these professionals, he had to learn anyway.
Zhao Xuan asked again: "Your brother, what is Song Shaozhen doing in the office?" ”
"Shaozhen is a researcher, mainly researching anomalous things, hoping to find some technology that can be applied. At present, many scientific and technological leaps in China are related to these researches. By the way, keep a good record of the confidentiality regulations. After Song Shaofeng finished speaking, his index finger was put between his mouth, and he made a "shhhh
The two walked all the way and said that Song Shaofeng introduced to Zhao Xuan all the way that there were seven or eight buildings in the entire bureau, and one building in the Internal Affairs Department, which was the one where the Forestry Bureau was located. The field building is mainly responsible for the Beijing and northern teams, and there are two sub-stations in the central and southern parts for the use of teams in both directions. There is a library, and most of the rest is for researchers.
Song Shaofeng pointed to the most central building in the entire courtyard: "Warehouse, the most important thing." The anomalies that can move are basically in there. ”
Zhao Xuan really wanted to go in and visit, but seeing that Song Shaofeng didn't have this mind, he had to settle down.
Song Shaofeng saw Zhao Xuan's thoughts, and laughed a few times: "It's no problem if you want to visit, but it's not right now, you have to learn the basic things first." ”
The two entered the building of the field office as they spoke, and Song Shaofeng pointed upstairs: "The entire third floor is the office of our group, the fourth floor is another group, and the first and second floors are the training grounds, which are shared." ”
As he spoke, he went upstairs, and as soon as he reached the door, he heard a snoring sound coming from inside. When I pushed the door and entered, I saw a fat man sleeping on a chair by the door. Zhao Xuan slapped his forehead, and sure enough, it was Zhang Yuan.
