4. Invitation from the branch(1/2)
The pale lights flashed.
The harsh alarm bell and the red and blue lights that came in from time to time outside the window made Zhai Nan, who was lying on the floor on his back, bounced twice like a dead fish, and got up tiredly.
I found that this dilapidated small clinic was already full of people.
...
Zhai Nan rubbed his eyes.
This group of people is strange.
They wore heavy silver-white isolation suits—these clothes wrapped their bodies tightly, without revealing a trace of skin, leaving only a small transparent square on the face, ensuring that they did not affect their vision.
These staff members had name plates marked "Branch" on their chests.
At this time, they were packing the Butcher Li with a sealed bag made of silver-white material and putting it on a stretcher to transport it outward. Some of them were spraying some drugs on the floor and furniture of the clinic.
A row of large white motor vehicles parked outside the window, and a yellow cordon was firmly isolating its clinic from the outside world.
...
"What are you?"
Zhai Nan walked to the staff carrying the stretcher: "Even if it is to avoid pollution, if you transport Butcher Li like this, he will probably be suffocated to death by this sealed bag before you even arrived at the hospital."
The staff member turned his head and saw Zhai Nan first salute, then said, "Hello Dr. Zhai, we are the logistics staff of the branch."
“…In fact, when we arrived, Butcher Lee was dead.”
Zhai Nan was stunned for a while before he realized.
On the one hand, it was because he was a small psychological counselor who lived at the bottom of the class in both his past and present life. At this time, these staff saluted him very seriously, and through transparent facial isolation materials, he could see the respect of these staff... and even awe-inspiring expressions.
On the other hand, Butcher Li died.
The silver-white one is both a sealed bag and a body bag.
The staff member explained: "Doctor Zhai should not be surprised. This is not your problem. You have perfectly dealt with the distortions produced by Butcher Li. It is not easy to keep a complete body."
As he said that, the staff took out a phone number from his body, dialed it and handed it to Zhai Nan.
"Dr. Zhai, if you have any questions, you can ask our liaison officer... If nothing unexpected happens, she will be your personal liaison officer in the future."
Zhai Nan took the call.
After a while, the phone was connected.
"Hello, Dr. Zhai!"
Well... My future personal liaison officer will be a girl... Zhai Nan thought.
And the sound is nice...
Isn't it just like this when Japanese voice actor Takimiya was scolding people in his previous life?
"I will introduce myself. I am Pei Yu from the branch. Do you still remember the interviewer who conducted the psychological counseling induction interview?"
"Remember."
Zhai Nan noticed that everyone's name is a respectful word for himself.
"First, let me explain what the branch is."
Pei Yu said: "After the arrival of pollution, the human world order collapsed, and the population was less than a quarter of the previous population. Among the surviving people, a very small number of humans adapted to pollution and their bodies experienced controllable distortions. These people with mutation formed a group to lead the survivors to resist pollution and monsters, survived, and established several super-large barriers...or human settlements."
"And the group that establishes high wall barriers on the outer, middle and inner three rings of the metropolis is the "company".
"The company maintains order and economy in the metropolitan area, and monitors possible distortions in the metropolitan people at any time to solve pollution incidents... The police, doctors and civil servants are all under the company system, but in order to avoid panic, most people do not know the existence of the company."
"To be easy to understand, the company is the ruling person."
"Now, do you know what the branch is?"
Zhai Nan nodded.
It's the office established by the company in the outer ring...
"You are the only survivor of the "Matchmaker" incident ten years ago. As the only survivor of the extremely large-scale pollution incident, even if the most relaxed procedures are followed, it is absolutely impossible for the company to cancel monitoring of you just for one week. What forces the company to change its mind is that you are judged to have the ability to become a mutant."
The staff next to him handed over a file.
There is a line of small words below the file: "No. 9527: The Boy Who Evered the Misfortune"
"You may not believe it. You are simply famous in the company. I am also one of your fans... After all,... there has never been a disaster of that level since the establishment of the Metropolitan Metropolis."
"oh."
Zhai Nan asked sadly while looking through the files:
"So...what are these monsters?"
Zhai Nan wisely did not ask about Butcher Li wisely.
At this time, he had already realized that he had just dealt with the distortion of Butcher Li, the so-called "branch", sent staff at this time. Obviously, this was not a coincidence.
I'm afraid that Butcher Li's distortion occurred during psychological counseling, which was also one of the assessments they arranged for him. The branch had long known that Butcher Li was contaminated.
Zhai Nan doesn't like their approach.
What if I were just an ordinary person, without the mouth and tentacles on my belly, and without the weird black space in my belly?
What did they regard their lives?
Pei Yu, opposite the phone, did not notice Zhai Nan's tone change, and she continued to explain:
"These monsters used to be humans."
"When pollution arrived, strong pollution sources appeared around the world. Humans within the scope of the pollution source were abolished and turned into monsters to attack humans - and these pollutions were divided into two types: mental infiltration, flesh-and-blood distortion - that is, the so-called spiritual monsters and flesh-and-blood monsters - can also be called ghosts or something else. Of course, there is also the most terrifying one, which is that the spirit and flesh-and-blood distortion occurred at the same time. This monster is called an unreasonable person."
"The pollution sources distributed in the wilderness are extremely dense in the surrounding monsters and the high pollution concentration, which have caused changes in the environment. They are also called the "terror house phenomenon". In addition to dealing with events in the metropolis, our daily work is to explore and try to solve the terror house and try to find the principle of pollution."
Pei Yu paused and said:
"Dr. Zhai, your assessment has been approved in advance. Welcome to join the "Company". I will be your personal liaison officer in the future."
"Sorry, I refuse to join the "company."
“…”
Zhai Nan put down the phone and stretched.
Mom... I just joined the company...
Not to mention that they made a distorted monster without saying a word to evaluate themselves.
The work content that Pei Yu just mentioned is already dangerous enough.
Zhai Nan was just an otaku in his previous life.
Although he had also passed the second grade, he even subconsciously sacrificed his life to save the female high school student.
After traveling through time, he also unlocked the golden finger.
But this does not mean that he likes to take the initiative to seek death...
Be honest and be a psychological counselor with a meager salary.
Isn't it nice to get off work on time?
Let's talk about it...
He is now a tentacle monster, and others can't see this tentacle.
What do you want?
...
Pei Yu was stunned for a moment and realized that the phone in her hand had been hung up.
"How about it?"
"He refused."
"He doesn't seem to like how we do it."
There was a silence in the glass compartment.
At this time, a file came from the computer on the desk.
Pei Yu opened the file and said, "It is the preliminary observation of the body of Butcher Li."
“What type of pollution?”
Pei Yu was silent for a moment, and his voice became a little complicated:
"Double pollution, he is an unreasonable person."
“…”
"Are you an unreasonable person again?" murmured by the person standing in front, "The matchmaker seems to be an unreasonable person too..."
Everyone present was quiet.
After a moment, someone said, "Unreasonable people should be the least common monster... and the most difficult to clean up, right? Even many mutants cannot peek or observe the existence of unreasonable people..."
To be continued...
