When Li Qing returned to the old house, compared to Fang Cai, in addition to wearing warm gloves to cover the scarlet moon in his palm, he also had an NHK031 pistol "captured" in the early years on his waist.

This pistol was once all the rage in the Northern Federation, but with the advancement of technology, it has been gradually replaced by a new pistol because of the two fatal flaws of small magazine capacity and long reload time, and only some very backward civil organizations will continue to be equipped with it.

Before I finished the oily xiaolongbao I had just bought, there was a knock on the old door.

"Here we are."

Li Qing reached out and touched his waist, the cold metallic texture made him feel a lot more relieved, got up and came to the door, and unscrewed the handle.

"Is there anything you guys are up to?"

As Uncle Ge said, there was a man and a woman outside the door, the man was nearly forty, wearing a windbreaker, his shoulders were very broad, he held up the version of the windbreaker better, and his clean hair looked lean and neat, and the scar located at the corner of his left eye made him look very difficult to mess with.

"We are looking for Li Qing and want to ask him something, this is our ID."

It was the girl who spoke, her lips were open and closed, her voice was gentle and pleasant, her eyes seemed to be able to speak, and her beautiful appearance and soft voice made it easy for people to feel some affection for her.

The girl was dressed in a khaki suit, with two buttons on her chest, just the right way to outline her slender waist and small breasts.

"I'm Li Qing, what's the matter with the two police officers, I'm a law-abiding three-star citizen of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, you can't wronged a good person."

Li Qing returned the documents to their original owners, and although his tone was relaxed, the people blocked the door, and he did not mean to invite the two police officers in.

Judging from the documents, the female policeman's name is Xiao Jin, and the one next to her is called Gu Changming, who is a little higher in rank than Xiao Jin, and she has not spoken, and it is estimated that she wants to show the majesty of the leader.

Li Qing didn't have much affection for the police officers.

After the death of his parents, in order to survive, Li Qing could only interrupt his studies, roam the streets and alleys, and become an informant who did not enter the stream - different from the undercover agent specially trained by the Public Security Bureau, he was more like an intelligence dealer, inquiring about some news, selling it to the police, and helping them solve the case, but in the closing files submitted by the police officers, the name Li Qing will never appear.

When the eyes of the high-level are all on the external defense against strong enemies, it is not difficult to imagine the advantages and disadvantages of its internal security, especially in a small border county like Ningpu with a sensitive location, in the words of ordinary people, if you really want to conduct a thorough investigation, at least two or three out of ten people in Ningpu County are not clean.

The joke in the mouth of the layman is not just a joke to the insider, no matter what else Li Qing knows, the number of lawbreakers who are still at large so far has exceeded the number of hands.

For these people, Li Qing can even tell their appearance, age, and even the rules of life and rest one by one, if those people in the police station want to be arrested, they will be caught one by one.

It's a pity that the people in the Public Security Bureau don't seem to be interested in these low-hanging fruit, according to those police officers who bought news from Li Qing, in the case of someone reporting the case, as long as one case is solved in a month, it will be regarded as completing the assessment task, and there is no reward for doing more, in this case, it is natural to get by.

Such a statement is obviously untenable, and Li Qing only laughs and does not speak every time he listens to it.

Seeing this, Gu Changming had to re-examine the young man in front of him, and information about Li Qing appeared in his mind: 20 years old, single, his parents died, he lived in poverty, he made a living by selling intelligence, his social circle was narrow, and he only had contacts with his former classmates, so he went out to the Ningpu County Library at 7:16 today, and returned after staying in the library for about 45 minutes.

"We're just asking for a routine question, you don't have to be nervous, maybe we can help you solve some problems?" Xiao Jin smiled, as if he was not surprised by Li Qing's reaction, "Why, still refuse to invite us in to sit down?" Or is there something inconvenient? ”

Li Qing made a movement in his hand, sideways out of the way, and said as he walked inside: "There is nothing inconvenient, I will fully cooperate and resolutely fight the lawbreakers to the end," he moved three benches and poured water for the two of them, "The conditions at home are limited, and the two police officers will drink some overnight water." ”

Overnight, overnight, you have to say it.

Looking at the empty living room, Gu Changming's eyelids twitched, and he realized that the word "poor money" mentioned in the information was not an exaggeration at all.

"You shouldn't have slept very well last night, right?"

Li Qing was stunned, this question undoubtedly touched his most sensitive nerve, he was silent for a moment, and moved his arm back slightly, so that he could draw the gun as quickly as possible if necessary.

"You should be able to understand what I'm saying, and you can rest assured that in our opinion, this is a very common thing to do, and we won't take you to do any experiments." Gu Changming spread his hands, thinking that he was making a humorous joke, but found that Li Qing and Xiao Jin did not have the slightest smile on their faces.

Gu Changming put away his hand awkwardly and said, "Xiao Xiao, come on, it is still easier for you young people to communicate with each other." ”

Xiao Jin nodded and said, "The 'crossing'-like event you experienced last night, which we call the Awakening Trial, is the only way for ordinary people to become transcendent. ”

Extraordinary? Hearing this word, Li Qing's eyelids jumped, the 'crossing' last night seemed to be able to only be explained by transcendental, thinking of this, Li Qing couldn't help but feel a little excited, becoming an extraordinary person sounds like an excellent opportunity to change his fate.

But Xiao Jin's next sentence poured a basin of cold water on his head.

"It's a pity that you failed and didn't succeed in completing the trial," Xiao Jin's face was calm, and he didn't see any regret, "but at the same time, you are lucky, because you can still sit here and talk to us, without 'lost', this is what we call it, in words that ordinary people can understand, the word death may be more appropriate." ”

"You mean, I failed to promote the transcendental?" One step to heaven, one step to hell, Li Qing was a little unwilling.

Xiao Jin looked at him deeply, and instead of answering, he asked, "You are not surprised at all by this kind of thing?" ”

"A lot of people we met, when we first met, would think that the captain and I were liars, thinking that we were doctors who had obtained fake certificates and pretended to be police officers."

Li Qing smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "Is there anything worth deceiving a person like me?" After buying that, I'm already penniless. He gestured to the side of the xiaolongbao, which was no longer steaming.

"Your talent for humor is on par with that of the captain." A smile appeared on Xiao Jin's face, even if Li Qing was a mess in his heart now, he had to admit that this girl did look good when she smiled.

Gu Changming coughed lightly twice, as if in protest.

Xiao Jin ignored him and continued: "You are right, you failed, you failed and failed to grasp this only opportunity to change your fate and become a transcendent," the words were cold, as if he was judging Li Qing.

"But as I said, you are also lucky, usually losers are 'lost', but you don't, but you also get some benefits because of it, such as the enhancement of the five senses and so on."

"The only one? Does that also mean that I won't go back into the trial you are talking about? Li Qing keenly captured the point he was most concerned about.

"Your focus is a little strange," Xiao Jin pursed his lips, only thinking that Li Qing was frightened by the content of the trial, which is also a very normal thing, "Yes, the only one, everyone only has one chance to awaken, once they fail, they will never have a chance to return to the trial, and it is impossible to enter the transcendent realm." ”

Li Qing subconsciously clenched his fists and was about to say something more, but Gu Changming raised his hand and interrupted the conversation between the two: "The question session has ended, and due to confidentiality requirements, we can't reveal more about Chao Fan to you." ”

"Okay, what did those two come to me for?" Li Qing exhaled a breath of turbidity, as if he was using this method to relieve the boredom of not being able to become a transcendent person and possess transcendent powers.

In fact, he clenched his fists just to better disguise the crimson moon that still existed in his palm.

Gu Changming gave Xiao Jin a look, and the latter immediately understood, took out a few documents from the briefcase he carried with him and handed them to Li Qing, and said at the same time: "I said before, you are the lucky one who survived the trial, you can choose to join us and work for us," as he spoke, Xiao Jin stretched out his finger and drew a large circle on the document.

After automatically ignoring the content similar to the introduction of corporate culture, Li Qing had to admit that the treatment conditions circled out were indeed attractive: four days off and three days off, meal subsidies, single-room staff dormitories, old-age security and medical security, statutory leave and irregular holidays, plus a monthly salary that doubled the average level of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, it was simply a perfect job.

"Isn't it possible for the transcendent to join you?"

"There are also civil servants among us, and what you are given is also a clerk's contract," Xiao Jin took in Li Qing's demeanor and explained: "Actually, if you join us, you will also lose a lot, such as freedom, you have experienced a trial realm, strictly speaking, you can no longer be regarded as an ordinary person, according to the relevant regulations, we should include you in the scope of supervision, so you signed this contract, in fact, it is beneficial to both of us." ”

"This regulation does not mean that it wants to keep an eye on you all the time or restrict your personal freedom, you can treat it as a kind of moral shackle." Gu Changming added on the side, he used his thumb and index finger to compare a section as a concretization of the word "measurement":

"And we are the measure of this morality."

"How can I believe you're telling the truth?" Before the huge temptation, Li Qing still retained the last shred of reason.

As soon as the words fell, Li Qing felt that his waist was empty, and when he looked up again, he saw that the NHK031 pistol had been grabbed by Gu Changming at some point.

Gu Changming threw the pistol at Li Qing lightly, and said with a smile: "Article 5 of Chapter 2 of the Code of Transcendent Beings." ”

"Never use a gun in front of a 'gunman.'"

"Jingle Bell"

A series of bullets crashed to the ground with a crisp sound.
