Day04 – Behind the work
Last night was another sleepless night, with active enkephalins struggling to keep my spirits struggling, there was nothing in the whole company that could be called a window, and the sun would never shine on an inch of land. Today the work has not yet started, this is the staff cafeteria, and I am having breakfast.
At this time, Camille and Hana crept over and gently placed the plate on the table, as if they were afraid of crushing a mosquito to death.
I swallowed the food in my mouth and smiled at them, but I didn't say a word. They definitely have something to say, I don't have to say it first.
Sure enough, under Hana's reminder, Camille raised her head slightly and opened her mouth timidly: "Daphna ...... Thank you, Miss...... Thank you for helping me out of the mess yesterday ......"
"Poof, it's okay sister." I smiled at her and said, "It will take time for everyone to accept that it is all going to happen. ”
"Camille was very stimulated yesterday." Hana said to me, "I comforted her for a long time. ”
"Awesome, sisters are all about helping each other." I flattered, "If there is a greater danger in the future, we should also support each other." ”
Kamilhana nodded, "Miss Devna, your work is so good, is there any secret you can teach us?" Hana asked suddenly.
"Yes, yes! Miss Devna. Camille also suddenly became interested, and asked in a sincere tone with a hint of crying: "As long as I can work better, maybe no one will be injured by my mistakes again." ”
I was slightly stunned, picked up the orange juice on the side and took a sip, "It's just a matter of experience, different eccentrics have different personalities and hobbies, and if we want to work smoothly, we have to deal with them according to their actual situation." ”
"Targeted treatment...... Hana didn't seem to understand very much, but it didn't interrupt me.
"Camille, what was your actual work on that radio (1.76 MHz) yesterday?" I asked, turning to her.
"That's it...... I listened to my supervisor's orders and then tried to please it as required by the employee handbook...... But I don't know how to make something invisible curb desire...... Something. Camille said, her expression gradually becoming excited: "There is only that radio there, and I am not allowed to tune the frequency, that is...... It's just that somehow, my work has never been able to reach 'excellent', and the reverse Kabbalah counter has been dropping ......"
"You were anxious?" I stared into her eyes and took another sip of water.
"That's right! Anxiety! Camille nodded, "I don't know what to do, I'm not sure I understand the instructions in the manual, and I don't even know if I can work on that anomaly." At the point of excitement, the arrogance made even Hana have to whisper to her again.
Looking at the scene in front of me, I couldn't help but sneer, "No Camille, you can do the job with that radio (1.76 MHz), you just lack some skills." ”
"Tricks?" The two people at the table asked in unison.
"Yes, skill." I swallowed a bite of the cake unhurriedly, "The description in the employee handbook is not wrong, but it is not accurate. In other words, the content of the employee handbook is just a popular saying. ”
The two men were still puzzled, and I continued.
"The essence of working with anomalies is not to please them, and good results do not always mean that anomalies are in a happy mood."
My tone grew colder, and Camille and Hana were shocked to hear it, they just wanted to know some tricks, or they were close to me, but the conclusions I came from really subverted their poor perceptions.
But I'm going to go on.
"The productivity of the anomaly has nothing to do with how pleasant it is, the only criterion for rating our work is only the energy yield, and the only thing we need to care about is the value of the reverse Kabbalah counter, which is what really matters our lives."
"That'...... Does the inverse Kabbalah counter represent the mood of the anomaly? Hana asked incredulously.
"It's a pity that it's not, it can only reflect the stability of the anomaly at the moment, the higher the counter, the more stable the anomaly, and the less likely it is to mess up."
After listening to my description, the two seemed thoughtful, and seeing that they didn't ask any questions, I continued: "The release of enkephalins by anomalies is not an active process, and it needs to be 'stimulated' by living employees to achieve it. After a pause: "The so-called stimulation is only an approximation, in fact, only when we put the anomaly in a certain 'excited' 'emotion' through specific work, will they emit a sufficient concentration of enkephalin for collection." ”
"Just like humans breathe faster and release more carbon dioxide in cold environments?" Camille asked softly.
"That's right." I praised Camille's intelligence and added: "This 'excitation' may be comfort, satisfaction, anger and fear, depending on the type of anomaly." ”
The two men looked at each other and talked to each other again, and I took the opportunity to sweep the rest of the food into my stomach.
"If the inverse Kabbalah counter is reset to zero, will it be dangerous to enter the Anomaly's containment unit?"
"Maybe." I looked at them with a serious expression, "But more often than not, it's more dangerous outside of the containment unit, because they will break through containment directly. ”
"Sudden ...... Containment breach?! Hana asked in surprise, her voice trembling a little.
"That's right, breach containment." I replied in the affirmative: "They will run into the hallways and the main break room and kill people." ”
"Kill...... Murder ......"
"Those damn containment units can't even shut down a fly, and those devices are only useful for collecting enkephalins in the air, except for the reverse Kabbalah suppressor resonator." As I spoke, my tone couldn't help but be harsh.
"The staff are just consumables, and the higher-ups would be more than happy to let these beasts out and kill people than to have those destructive anomalies jump up and down in the containment unit and smash the expensive equipment that is placed there." I added: "Here, human life is not as valuable as the beasts locked in the room. ”
Those two seemed to be shocked by the truth in my mouth, yes, why not? They look like they are only in their early twenties, and they are typical urban people in every gesture, how can they imagine the cruelty of this world with such pampered young children.
But when we first applied for a job at Brain Lobe, we were all promised high wages and benefits in return, which were almost as high as insurance claims, which was a deed of sale, and a reason to nail them firmly to such a slaughterhouse, which was enough for them to live a very good life, not only to pay attention to the unimaginable housing prices in each nest, but also to open up relationships and bring their relatives and friends who were still struggling in the back alleys or even suburbs to live in the city.
"As long as I work a little harder, I may be able to bring my family to live in the nest." That's what I've heard countless times from my newcomer colleague.
Unfortunately, they may never be able to pay off the money, and the company is an endless cycle of dungeons, where everyone seems to be moving towards some future that is out of reach and will come in the dark, knowing and unknowing.
"Sisters, let's eat." Seeing that Camille and Hana were still hanging aside, I hurriedly reminded: "I still have to go to work in a while, and today there will be two new containment units in the department, so that you can have the energy to work hard when you are full." ”
The two sighed in unison, took a deep breath, and began to gobble it up.
Minister Marcus reminded me that I was off duty today, and after Hana and Camille left, I went back to my dorm to catch up on sleep.
