"You're Comrade Wu Ge, aren't you? You're much more handsome than in the photo. ”

"Excuse me, ...... you"

"I'm the head of the organization in the region...... Call me Lao Zhou, please take a seat. ”

The handshake at the head was very strong and enthusiastic, and it was also more measured than Lao Wang. However, due to Lao Wang's previous reaction, Wu Ge still felt that Tou's attitude was very false. Although his round light did not tremble, and he did not seem to be higher than Wu Ge's cultivation, it didn't mean much.

They sat across from each other at their desks.

"You've done a great job this time. The head said enthusiastically. "The first combat mission made a great contribution, as a newcomer ......"

"Newcomer?"

Wu Ge squinted and smiled, and asked with interest:

"So, what does it mean to be an old man?"

The head glanced at Wu Ge in surprise, this question made him a little confused for a while.

"Hehe, newcomer, it's just a relative statement. You've been in the organization for a long time, and you've carried out a lot of tasks, so you're naturally an old man. ”

This answer is quite impeccable. But it didn't work.

"It's going to be a mission, right?" Wu Ge still smiled.

"I guess there won't be so many combat missions. It's time for you to assign me a splice task next time, right?"

"Street duty, we don't usually ......," the head said with a frown.

"Or monitoring, tracking tasks, or whatever. Wu Ge said unhurriedly. "As far as I know, there seem to be a lot of these two kinds of tasks, and they account for a large proportion. ”

The head smiled. Of course, he knew very well that Wu Ge had already noticed this. Since you agree to meet, you are mentally prepared for such a question.

"We are not an average organization. More investigation is also necessary. He said frankly.

"Makes sense. Wu Ge nodded in acknowledgement, but continued:

"But are you going to do just that?"

The head was silent for a moment, slightly embarrassed.

"On the one hand, you pulled me into the organization, and on the other hand, you were so worried about me. I think that's a contradiction, isn't it?" Wu Ge said, staring at him.

Head clear throat.

"Practitioners are different from ordinary people. He said carefully. "You can ...... This situation can be compared to intelligence organizations. In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, intelligence organizations often carry out various institutionalized monitoring and screening of their members. This is just an institutional arrangement, and it is not that one person is not at ease. Hope you understand. ”

What do you mean by that...... It's really watertight.

"Understood. ”

Wu Ge expressed his "incomprehension" in a crisp tone. ”

"However, didn't your master tell you that the first immortal cultivator recultivates his heart...... The necessary investigations are possible, of course, but not endlessly. Also, since this is a normal procedure, you don't have to be so secretive. What the hell do you want to know? Say it clearly, and maybe I can help you get your investigation done as soon as possible. ”

Wu Ge's tone was already full of impatience and provocation.

"Cultivating the Immortal First and Recultivating the Heart? Is this what your master told you?"

The head looked thoughtful.

"Isn't it right? You are too guarded, and you are suspicious all day long, how can the realm be improved?"

Head down in contemplation.

This argument also makes sense. But as the old saying goes, the road is far away, and mortals are unpredictable...... How many of your masters think so?"

"Of course. I have three masters, as well as the cloth bag master and the light cloud ...... Belch. ”

This Lao Zhou is still playing with him! Lao Zhou, as well as Lao Wang, always likes to play with such a heart, and every time he is overshadowed, which makes Wu Ge feel that his self-esteem is very hurt.

"The cloth bag master you are talking about, is it the monk in civilian clothes?"

Head then asked.

"So what...... Why can't you just be honest? Is it interesting to keep playing this kind of trick of rat stealing and dog stealing?"

Wu Ge stood up angrily and turned to go out. Leave a sentence at the door:

"You can do whatever you like...... But don't blame me for not warning you beforehand. ”

chased out the door, only to hear Lao Wang greet him:

"Ah, lad...... What's wrong?"

"What's going on?"

Lao Wang turned his puzzled gaze to his head.

The head did not answer, lowered his head, frowned and thought.

"The first thing to rebuild is ...... mind"

He whispered to himself. After a moment, he seemed to have made up his mind.

"Lao Wang, remove all the monitoring measures against Wu Ge. ”

"Withdraw, but we haven't found out anything yet......

"Can you find out if you don't withdraw?" asked the head.

"Besides, since he came to the door directly, it shows that he is very honest and has no intention of playing with us...... Perhaps, it would be better to change the way. ”

"Well, well. But you can't all of them, right?"

"All withdraw. This cannot be rushed. Lao Zhou groaned and said slowly:

"According to what he just said, he has at least three masters. In addition, there are two practitioners whom he calls masters. One of them may be the plainclothes monk we met. ”

"That is...... There are five?"

Lao Wang was a little stammered.

"And he may also have brothers. Cultivator ......" Lao Zhou paused for a moment, and then said, "The size of the ability and the type of spell are unpredictable, and they often don't pay attention to the rules of the world. It's not a good thing that there really is a conflict. ”

"That's right. Lao Wang scratched his chin and said.

"Also, we all call ourselves practitioners. You know what he calls himself?"

"What?"

"He just told me that cultivating immortals is the first to recultivate the mind. ”

There is some truth to that...... What are you talking about, cultivating immortals?"

Lao Wang looked stunned.

"Immortal ......, that kid, did you take the wrong medicine?"

"Lao Wang," Lao Zhou looked at Lao Wang and said with a calm face:

"You are also a cultivator, and I'm afraid you've heard a lot of rumors in this cultivation realm. There are many rumors that immortals exist, and that the existing cultivation methods are indeed incomplete. ”

"Yes. But ......"

"As the old saying goes, there are no waves, and rumors are not necessarily false. If that's the case......"

What if that's the case? Lao Wang was a little dazed.

If that's the case...... At least it shows that he changed his attitude towards the rookie very, very wisely.

――――&&**――――

After Wu Ge left, Lao Zhou sat in his office for a long time.

There has always been a procedure to follow in organizing the investigation of newcomers -- of course, because there are too many "mysteries" in Wu Ge's body, the investigation of him is indeed more vigorous and more -- and he has never felt that there is anything wrong with such an arrangement. However, Wu Ge's anger today made Lao Zhou a little doubtful about the correctness of this procedure for the first time.

"Be honest...... Should it be?" he asked himself.

It is true that "organization" is different from ordinary organizations, and it is even more important and strict than intelligence organizations. Caution is a must...... However, then again, if you always treat others as enemies, you really can't complain that others see you as enemies. I always feel that my scrutiny and prevention of others are legitimate, but it is actually a condescending wishful thinking.

"Cultivating the Immortal First Re-cultivating the Heart ......," he repeated the words that were both familiar and unfamiliar. It was indeed the first time he had heard this sentence, but in fact, every practitioner knew the truth contained in this sentence. Sadly, however, almost every practitioner has overlooked this truth – and now it seems that he also includes himself.

To dispel mistrust between the two sides, at least one side must take the initiative first. In the past, he always took it for granted that the other party should prove his sincerity first, but this time, he decided to change it.
