NOVEL WEB Chapter 24: 28
Mr. Tieu?" Diep Tich examined him.
"Ah..." Xiao Leng regained his senses from his stuck thoughts and quickly reacted, "Then what if I have a part-time job?"
He sincerely said: "You can only attend the mission discussion, you don't need to attend the other plan discussions or regular meetings. During mission time, I can also cooperate to the best of my ability."
Diep Tich: "What is the difference in treatment between full-time and part-time positions?"
Tieu Lang thought seriously and then reported: "No salary and 5 risks and 1 gold."
Outside the door: Fuck...
This kind of fate, you two repeatedly discuss the temporary salary of 5 risks and 1 gold, it's really strange!
Diep Tich was really moved at this moment.
Good income, at the same time does not delay her own work. Although the work attribute has such a small flaw (high mortality rate), but overall thinking down is really really fascinating.
After a brief struggle, she nodded: "I can try."
Xiao Leng nodded: "The job is special, there is no 'try it out', at least a one-year contract, and a confidentiality agreement must be added."
Diep Tich: "...That's right."
"Dong", the door suddenly made a deep sound.
Yang Ge was so nervous that he wanted to die. Hearing Ye Xi's agreement, his nerves immediately relaxed, his body also softened, and his forehead fell to the door.
On the other hand, several captains were all grabbed by the wrist: "Ah, I really let him capture me! Damn it, I was prepared that after he rejected me, I would go and snatch him away!"
"This kid is really lucky! Otherwise, the bullet that pierced his chest that year would not have damaged his heart or lungs!"
Inside the door, Tieu Lanh looked up and paid attention to the door for a few seconds, then made a silent gesture towards Diep Tich, stood up straight and walked over, pulling open the door.
"Who is it ——" everyone turned in a straight line, but the challenge of their reaction ability made them stop in an instant.
The next second, the tycoon hid his head and showed his tail and turned in different directions.
Zhang Zhao picked up the phone: "Hey? Minister Ding, right? I'm coming, please wait a moment... Ah right, these two days are very busy, the signal here is not good, please wait for me to find a place with a good signal and then we'll talk..."
Cao Di pretended to be aware and talked to the deputy captain: "Did you collect the information on the Rule Realm last time? Bring it here for me to see." He got further and further away.
Duong Ca then straightened up and walked towards his office.
Tieu Lanh indifferently: "Duong Ca."
Duong Ca turned his head guiltily: "... Huh?"
Tieu Lanh: "I want to go to a meeting, you bring Miss Diep to get acquainted with the 17th, conveniently add the agreement."
"Alright!" Yang Ge loudly responded, already in a dog-like manner as he quickly ran into the meeting room, "Miss Ye, this way please."
"My name is Diep Tich." Diep Tich has already stopped treating everyone as colleagues.
"Great, Diep Tich!" Duong Ca held her arm, his expression relaxed as he walked past Tieu Lanh's eyelids.
—— Xiao Leng actually did not harm them by eavesdropping on their affairs outside the door, how rare!
—— this person is pretending to be serious in front of a newcomer!
Duong Ca secretly cursed under his breath, looking at Diep Tich's eyes, a bit of unlucky anticipation arose in his heart.
She didn't know when Tieu Lanh would reveal his true face in front of her. She wanted to see her reaction!
Every time someone sees Xiao Leng's indecent behavior for the first time, they will show a very excellent expression.
In front of a newly graduated police officer young lady, in the past three months, she had already regarded Xiao Leng as a male god, looking at Xiao Leng with rosy eyes.
Then there was another time, because of some very subtle reasons, she threw away the suspect that everyone had been following for a long time. Actually, the responsibility was not entirely on her, but she was still humiliated and punished a lot, she was miserable and wronged, leaning on the desk and crying.
Normally, Xiao Leng rarely took the initiative to talk to others. He would squat down next to them and squint his eyes, saying sincerely, "You're so unlucky."
"When you usually drink cold water, does it get stuck between your teeth?"
At that time, the little girl sitting across the table eating a lunch box, Duong Ca coughed loudly, choking on rice grains all over the ground.
The injured main body was even more speechless, staring at Tieu Lanh, in a few seconds even tears had forgotten to fall.
Waiting to react to what I heard, I can think of crying even more miserably.
At that time, a saying was spread in the police team - police dogs are not humans, but Captain Tieu is a real dog.
.
Diep Tich got home at 9 pm.
She stayed in the imitation of the strange talk for three days and two nights. That strange talk was fake, even if the date was distorted, the speed of time flow was the same as outside, so now it was already the 22nd day of the 9th month.
Fortunately, HR told her to enter the job on November 11th, otherwise disappearing for two days right after starting work would not be a good thing.
Diep Tich lay on the bed, left hand behind his head, right hand holding the mobile phone, staring at the WeChat contact box noted as "Mom", for a long time he couldn't decide whether to contact at this time or not.
Like most young people who were single and wandering around, Ye Xi was also used to only talking about good things and not bad things. Like she had already entered this kind of weird talk rule twice, she didn't dare to mention a word to her family, and after confirming that her parents hadn't come in, she felt relieved.
As for her side, asking is not going to go too far.
But now, "Doing a high-paying part-time job at 17" this kind of thing, is it considered a bad thing?
Diep Tich felt that, based on her parents' standards of stability, it obviously didn't count.
So she chose to avoid the heavy and seek the light, pressing the voice button and saying: "Mom, I found a job, and conveniently found a part-time job, the income is not bad, you and dad can rest assured!"
The voice that was sent out did not immediately receive a reply. Six or seven minutes later, a live video invitation came over.
Ye Xi pressed down to switch, after a short black screen, both parents appeared in the video, the mother was about to speak, but was interrupted by the father: "Find something to do part-time!"
In the video, although the father was smiling, his voice contained reproach: "Having a job is enough, don't be too tired, if you need money, just tell your family, your father and mother have it here!"
"No, I don't lack money." Diep Tich smiled, a bit embarrassed and a bit bitter.
She is a person with dreams, one can say that her ambitions are broad, one can also say that she is competitive. From the day she received the university admission notice, she wanted to establish herself in City B. Her parents did not show any objections, but they were just an ordinary well-off family, they tried their best to support her, not knowing how much effort they put into it.
But now, she carried her parents and started a huge gamble.
Indeed, if standing from a purely rational perspective, she joined the 17th was the right one. Even if it wasn't for money, it was just for survival. Fighting side by side with the 17th was safer than fighting alone.
But if we talk about the heart and not the deeds, she must admit that the reason she nodded and agreed to take on this "outer bag" was mainly to make money.
She wanted to stay in city B, wanted to take care of her parents, wanted to give the whole family a worry-free life.
Besides this, there is probably also a bit of chuunibyou disease that causes trouble, which is the kind of ordinary, indifferent person who fantasizes about becoming a super hero chuunibyou disease.
But these details are not important.
The important thing is that she signed this "outside contract", in the future she can increase the probability of saving her life, and can also make money.
This is a double win, she wins twice!
.
After more than ten days, the air temperature gradually decreased, entering the 11th golden week, the weather was already very refreshing. Not knowing whether it was because she had gone out less, Ye Xi temporarily did not stimulate any Rule Realm, the remaining uneasiness dissipated, she then put her attention back on her official work, starting to prepare for her official position after 11am.
Calm down until ten o'clock at 5 o'clock in the evening. That day, Ye Xi ordered a McDonald's lunch box at five o'clock. More than ten minutes later, she received a strange phone call. She must have thought that it was the store or the delivery person calling from outside. She picked up the phone and said, "Hello, sir." The voice that came through the receiver was Yang Ge's: "Ye Xi, I, Yang Ge, can we open at 17 o'clock now?"
Diep Tich was surprised: "Now? Before, Captain Tieu said..."
Yang Ge: "I know, Team Xiao said that you don't need to hold a meeting, but this will be about the next weird discussion of the rules, it would be better if you come and participate. If you don't have time to talk, it would be better if you come tomorrow to get some good documents."
Diep Tich hesitated a bit, then said: "I'll go out and drive now."
"Hard work." Duong Ca said with a smile, "Eat? If you don't eat, I'll invite you to eat at the cafeteria?"
"Ha ha ha it's okay, I'll just eat some myself."
The two of them politely exchanged a few words and then hung up. In more than ten minutes, Diep Tich changed his clothes, put on a simple outfit, and went out.
She originally thought that when the person outside called to tell him the door, it would be fine, but when she went out and went downstairs, she just happened to bump into the door of the unit. Ye Xi directly carried the lunch box into the taxi.
She ordered a McDonald's with four pieces of rice, original fried chicken thigh, no sugar coke, cashews, and a pineapple wedge.
But big evening eat pineapple, too long meat.
Diep Tich therefore only ate the original fried chicken thigh, occasionally taking a sip of sugary Coca Cola. She left the pineapple and cashews in a paper bag, and didn't even take them out.
From her house to the luxurious 17th Changxing Street, it took more than forty minutes. After getting out of the car and entering the gate, Ye Xi asked the guards for the meeting location while looking at the work card and jogged in.
Walking to the conference room door, she knocked twice on the door, and a mournful male voice came from inside the door: "Please come in."
Diep Tich pushed the door open and immediately analyzed the general situation based on the scene in the conference room.
This match would obviously start in a moment, and it would probably start in a bit of chaos. The PPT screen projected on the stage was marked with messy, electronically drawn lines, two large linear boards were lying dejectedly on either side of the conference room, and computers and other electronic devices and charging cables were scattered all over the floor.
Apart from this, she also felt tired, everyone's face was equally tired.
The man who had just allowed her into the house was sitting in the main seat. He looked to be in his mid-60s, but his spirit was still very good. He was wearing a light blue military uniform and the medals on his shoulders were very dazzling.
Diep Tich had no understanding of medals, and was unable to accurately judge the other party's rank through those simple stars and patterns, but he could see that his rank was definitely not low.
The other party also looked at her, then revealed the same old man smile as usual: "This is the 188 warrior you mentioned?"
"?"
Diep Tich was surprised: What?
Believing that he had not reached "188" and was not a "Warrior", Diep Tich felt that the other party had recognized the wrong person.
However, it was just a joke, there was no need to correct it. Diep Tich nodded politely, saw that there was an empty chair beside Duong Ca, and ran over to sit next to Duong Ca.
Duong Ca softly introduced her: "That one is Minister Dinh, lieutenant general rank, 17th rank was founded by him."
Big boss big boss
—— Diep Tich looked at Minister Dinh, his heart filled with fear.
Dinh Ich Quoc collected his thoughts and looked at the team member who was explaining the PPT just now: "You continue."
The team member standing at the stage nodded, pressed the remote control, and flipped through the PPT page: "This is the Tinh Nguyet apartment building 606, 1306, and 1806 household diagrams. You can take a look at it, and then an electronic copy will be sent to your mailbox."
These words were meaningless to Ye Xi. After a brief hesitation, although she really didn't want to whisper during the meeting, she still had to follow the progress of the meeting.
She grabbed Duong Ca's sleeve: "I don't understand, what's the situation?"
Yang Ge turned her head slightly, her voice very low: "It's a new Rule Realm, it's been activated three times now, the first two were all destroyed, the third eight had one of us, in the end only she survived, she's crazy."
"So brutal?" Ye Xi was speechless, catching a suspicious point, "The first two groups were annihilated, how do you know it was triggered a total of three times?"
Based on the library and shopping mall's analysis, she thought that if they all died inside, it would be difficult for people outside to know what happened to them, and it would be impossible to know whether they had entered the same Rule Realm.
Yang Ge explained: "This Rule Realm activation mechanism is quite special. Every time this apartment building 606, 1306 and 1806 has people moving in at the same time, and there are exactly 7 people, it will be activated."
"The three apartments belonged to the same landlord. The two family homes in front and behind disappeared into thin air, and he immediately called the police."
So that's it.
Diep Tich nodded: "I understand."
The PPT lecturer continued: "Because there is no way to accurately describe the survivors, we currently know very little about this Rule Realm. The only thing we can be certain of is that this Rule Realm is extremely dangerous. Not only might there be monsters that can directly kill people, but they will also launch mental attacks on people."
On the other side, Yang Ge, Xiao Leng, seemed to have completely ignored the fact that the electronic copy of the picture would be sent to his mailbox. He held a ginseng pen and drew the three-figure picture stroke by stroke.
After drawing, he raised his hand and gestured: "How can we be sure that the three apartments leading to it are all in the same Rule Realm? Is it possible that they are opening different Rule Realms, just at the same time?"
"This possibility cannot be ruled out." The staff agreed with this conjecture, their expression becoming even more helpless, "It's still the same saying, because there are no reliable survivors, we know very little about this Rule Realm."
"Okay." Tieu Lanh's mouth corners moved slightly.
Diep Tich couldn't help but whisper to Duong Ca: "If we clearly know there's a problem with this three-unit apartment building, can't we just turn it off?"
"The residential area has been closed, and the four or five floors up are like a haunted house, no one dares to live there." After Yang Ge finished speaking, he saw the confusion in Ye Xi's eyes and understood her meaning, "... You want to ask why we still want to go in even though it's closed?"
"Favor."
Yang Ge said: "Minister Ding means that if this Rule of Law has a special mechanism, it will be even more transparent, and it might be useful in the future. Furthermore, up to now, only this Rule of Law has a clear import. The technical department wants to borrow the help of this Rule of Law to do some supervision, so it is necessary to activate it."
"Oh..." Diep Tich nodded continuously, showing understanding.
Each stroke of the brush drawing the figure, Xiao Leng's hand holding the brush suddenly fell, then the tip of his nose was slightly unable to move.
Like has pineapple flavor.
.
After that, the meeting dragged on for nearly an hour. Although there was very little useful information, there were still many things that everyone wanted to discuss. The more brutal the dungeon, the more urgent the project had to be, "What if this wave of people were completely exterminated?" "What if not completely exterminated but survivors appeared?" All kinds of situations were brought up one by one to be discussed.
Diep Tich seriously took notes, and at the last meeting he raised his hand and asked a question: "May I ask when this mission will start?"
This point was mentioned at the beginning of the meeting, but Ye Xi had not yet arrived at the scene. The PPT staff member amicably turned the PPT back to the second page: "Tomorrow at noon 12 o'clock, based on the previous calculation of the time when the survivors left, we will leave at noon 12 o'clock later."
Postnatal, which is also 10 months and 8 days.
Diep Tich clearly let out a breath, the staff couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong? May I ask what happened?"
"No." Diep Tich smiled and shook his head, "I started my job on October 9, I'm afraid of being late."
Tycoon: "..."
This is 188 soldiers? Obviously can get rich quick in 17th, but still have to go do several thousand yuan a month of official work.
After confirming that there were no more problems, Minister Ding announced the end of the meeting, and the conference room was instantly filled with relaxation and noise. Everyone started to clean up the things on the table at the same time, then hugged their computers and notebooks and left one after another.
Minister Dinh looked at Tieu Lanh: "Come out a bit."
Tieu Lanh followed him to the porch. A few minutes later, Minister Dinh left directly. Tieu Lanh returned to the meeting room alone.
Duong Ca glanced at the direction Minister Dinh left and asked him: "What's the matter?"
Xiao Leng's tone was lazy: "Nonsense - let me take care of the newcomer."
After speaking, he looked towards Diep Tich, his attitude was very polite: "Tomorrow morning at 10:00 to 17:00, is that okay? You can also directly book a hotel nearby and pay."
"I'll come back tomorrow." Diep Tich pursed his lips and explained, "I didn't bring anything."
"Okay." Tieu Lanh nodded, his eyes moved down, just stopping on the McDonald's paper bag she was carrying.
... Pineapple flavor.
Diep Tich keenly noticed his gaze, then without thinking, made a move, shaking the hand holding the paper bag a bit.
Tieu Lanh's eyes followed the paper bag, also wavering a bit.
The next second, the two of them simultaneously came back to their senses. Diep Tich's hand stiffened, and Tieu Lanh's eyes looked away: "It's time to get off work."
"See you tomorrow..." Diep Tich solemnly waved his hand towards Tieu Lanh Duong Ca and walked forward.
As official members of the 17th academy, Xiao Leng and Yang Ge naturally couldn't just leave, both of them had to return to the office to get a few things. Yang Ge walked in front, Xiao Leng silently took out his phone, clicked open a certain red emperor M marked APP, and searched for pineapple sect.
The second one was half price, so he was satisfied and bought two.
The next day at 10 o'clock in the morning, Ye Xi arrived at the 17th courtyard on time. The office was bustling with activity. Yang Ge went to the courtyard to greet Ye Xi for a moment, then simply did not go in again. Waiting for Xiao Leng to come out, the three of them got in the car together.
As the Rule of Scenery imported Tinh Nguyet apartment is located in the suburbs of B city, within five kilometers around there are several small scenic spots, every day can satisfy the tourist needs of B city residents around, legal holidays are also suitable for other places tourists to come to sightsee.
This kind of demand led to the nearby dozen or so apartment buildings being almost all private residences, Tinh Nguyet Apartment was one of them. The owner, Ms. Trang, was a capable woman who had just turned 40. When Diep Tich and the others arrived, she would come to the building's door to welcome them.
"Hard work." She shook hands with the man in a very friendly manner, with a hint of apology.
Tieu Lang smiled: "I'm sorry you're late for business."
"It's fine, it's fine." Ms. Trang waved her hand generously, "I'm the one who paid for this whole apartment. The three apartments have problems, so it's acceptable for now, hahahaha!"
... Grass.
Diep Tich petrified a bit, Duong Ca looked up at this pile of 27-28 story high buildings, took a deep breath to calm down.
Ms. Trang turned around and brushed the gatekeeper, accompanying them to the elevator. According to the meeting arrangement yesterday, this time the mission was divided up by three teams, one team and five teams each sent out two members, respectively in 606 and 1306, Xiao Leng's three teams sent out a total of three people, in 1806.
These seven people have official members and also have "outer cover", the similarity is that each person has a special identity, there is no "ordinary person".
The strategy team believes that in situations where information is too limited, special identity tools can help a little, and perhaps increase the survival rate.
The apartment building's elevator was very fast. Ye Xi was in the elevator, and before long, he heard a "clang" sound. He looked up and saw that it was already the 18th floor.
The elevator door opened in the middle of the small, dull machinery. Ye Xi was not prepared to see the 18th floor elevator room already covered with cables. A gray-white square instrument stood in the small passageway next to the elevator room. At the end of the small passageway on the right was room 1806.
Seeing Xiao Leng, several busy staff members surrounding the equipment greeted Xiao Leng: "Team Xiao."
Are they people?
Ye Xi's eyes revealed a sharp color, Yang Ge explained: "This time the joint action of the science institutes was carried out together, they made the equipment, wanted to see if they could monitor some invisible spatial fluctuations when the Rule Realm opened. If they could monitor them, their next step might be to research how to sever the Rule Realm's connection with the world."
"Like that..." Diep Tich revealed respect.
The rules of the strange chat mode suddenly appeared, each instance was mainly for solving the mystery, so whether it was her own story or her Weibo super chat, the main focus was on the question of "How to solve the mystery and save your life".
At the same time, the scientific community was urgently researching machinery, considering how to find the root cause of this strange form and conduct scientific research.
Be calm, steady and think clearly, you still have to do scientific research!
"The current password is four zeros, I have set a three-day validity period, if you want to continue using it, just tell me at any time, I can directly extend the validity period behind the scenes." Ms. Trang stood in front of the 1806 door and introduced herself to the three people, paused for a moment, then continued, "I don't quite understand what state you are in when carrying out your mission, so prepare some food in your room. There is this kind of self-heating rice box, some snacks, and also fresh meat and eggs and other miscellaneous foods, if you need to use them, you can use them, there are all the kitchenware.":,,.
