Deep in the Living

Chapter 358: In-depth Exploration Bureau
Half an hour ago,

In front of the Investigation Bureau building.

Luo Di watched the video program on the bracelet for more than an hour before he finally waited for Yu Ze to walk out from the bottom of the building.

Even though he was wearing sunglasses, one could still see that he looked uncomfortable.

However, as he walked over, his expression immediately returned to normal, and when he saw Rody, he immediately returned to his relaxed and normal state.

"My fellow villager, you didn't take the initiative to negotiate, so I was scolded by the boss. But in the end, we got permission and were allowed to go to the Exploration Bureau to submit the assessment application.

But the boss has a request.

If you fail to pass in one go, you will need to return to the Special Operations Group to continue working and then apply again when you are of the right age.

And I also need to follow your choice, my fellow villager. If you are beaten back, I will come back and continue to work and slack off.

As long as you can get into the Exploration Bureau as an exception, I will apply to join as well.

I hope you won't be accepted~ Hey, I'm still young, I want to play for a few more years."

Luo Di had already made a decision. "Have you finished the application to the World Bureau headquarters?"

“Done, now we just need to fill in our visit time.

There's no rush, right? Anyway, the boss has let us go, so we can visit the Exploration Bureau tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

You just got out of prison today, I'll treat you to a Northeastern restaurant in the capital, the food there is simply amazing!"

"Let's go now. I've had enough rest in prison, and the food there is good enough."

Yu Ze looked helpless, but finally chose to compromise, "You are released from prison today, you are the most powerful! I have filled in the interview time to half an hour later, I will use this little time to explain it to you.

The Exploration Bureau's assessment is not just a game, it is basically the most difficult test in our human world.

Moreover, this test is neither a pure technological scene simulation nor sending us to a dangerous pseudo-human settlement. Instead, it is achieved by using the technology brought out from the corner and combining it with some special containment objects.

Their assessment will not be divided into several areas or tests.

But a "whole".

Directly throw the applicants into a completely unknown, random area, let you stay there for a period of time, and then judge your overall quality.

Including but not limited to [exploration ability], [fear and stress resistance], [emergency response], etc.

Among them, [fear resistance] is very important.

Your fear fluctuations will be detected throughout the assessment. Even if you meet the standards for other tests or even excel, as long as your fear and stress tolerance does not meet the standards, you will be judged as a failure.

The final comprehensive score is also very important. It will not only determine whether you can join the Exploration Bureau,

Your grades will also determine which department you will go to.”

However, compared with the so-called assessment index, Luo Di cares more about the department mentioned by Yu Ze later.

He wanted to know the specific composition of the Exploration Bureau and how to explore the corner, which would most likely affect his exploration of the corner, his re-contact with the squad leader, and even the sisterhood.

"Different categories of departments? What are they?"

"Ten departments,
It is also known as the "Ten Parts of Exploration".

This department is very different from the department in our conventional concept. It is more like a special operations force than a department, and is even called a killer group in some areas.

If any part of the department is used for world war instead of exploring the corners, no country can survive.

The [Minister] of each department represents the highest combat power of mankind today.

Their power will be beyond your imagination, and their use of the pituitary gland will subvert your current understanding of the pituitary gland.

If I say this, you should be very interested, right?
As for what the ten divisions are like, you will know when you join. I will try to be assigned to the same division as you, Luo Di."

"Ah."

……

World Bureau Headquarters, Exploration Bureau front porch.

Two red assessment application documents have been sent to the Human Resources Management Department of the Investigation Bureau.

Although many colleges and universities have been built across the country to vigorously cultivate talents who can fight against pseudo-people and explore corners, there are very few talents who can be recommended or directly selected by the World Bureau every year.

Basically, the number of assessors recommended will not exceed twenty per month.

Sometimes there are less than ten.

Although these personnel have reached the recommended standards and are considered elites in the Bureau of Investigation or the company, at least half of them cannot meet the strict standards of the Bureau of Exploration. When two red application forms appeared from the printer room,

A man who was playing a handheld game console quickly noticed the special text on the document, forcing him to pause his current game.

"Yu Ze... this guy actually came.

With his ability, there is no need to waste resources to set up a mock assessment. His experience has long reached the standard for special admission. We sent people to negotiate with the special operations team three years ago, but it's a pity that this kid doesn't plan to come so early.

Have you figured it out now? If so, multiple departments will probably be vying for it.

Also, this Luo Di, why does his name sound so familiar? And like Yu Ze, he is from the [Special Operations Group].

With two core members suddenly withdrawn and Newton joining us some time ago, is this organization planning to disband?

However, this person is only 20 years old, too young. Moreover, there is no internal recommendation, and he applied on his own initiative, so he will most likely be rejected.

This name is really familiar.”

The person on duty immediately looked up Rody's name, and the result cheered him up.

"I was wondering if he looked so familiar! So he's the Eclipse Killer. Did he get out of prison so quickly after completing the procedures? Why didn't the Special Operations Group keep such a good candidate for themselves, but sent him to us in advance?

It's a bit strange.

Sign up for both of them. I really want to see how such a young guy will perform in the assessment. I hope the higher-ups won’t reject him because of his age.”

……

In the gray channel.

Luo Di and Yu Ze are waiting for the result here.

The blonde lady in charge of reception was also here, waiting for the assessment application submitted by Rody to be rejected, so that she could take him away.

It is basically impossible to apply for the Exploration Bureau at the age of 20, even if the two people in front of you are from the most special and strongest special operations team within the Investigation Bureau.

After waiting for a short while, a secret door opened in the wall beside him, which led to a deep red elevator.

The broadcast voice came out:
≮Investigator Yu Ze and Investigator Luo Di from the General Investigation Bureau, the assessment application form you submitted has been approved. Please take the elevator to the assessment floor for preliminary inspection and transition work.

Please note that if you do not enter the elevator within one minute, you will be deemed to have given up the assessment opportunity and will not be allowed to apply again within two years. ≯
This notice made the blond receptionist stand there in a daze.

Although she wondered if the Exploration Bureau was short of people, she quickly rejected the idea, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Rody also changed, revealing a kind of respect from the bottom of her heart.

"I wish you two can successfully pass the assessment and hold up the torch of exploration."

The elevator door closed. The deep red color of the elevator affected the vision to a certain extent and made the blood flow faster. Roddy couldn't help but feel a little excited.

I thought I would need to submit a letter of recommendation from the warden to make an exception and take the test, but I didn't expect to be allowed directly.

If you count carefully, it's been less than ten hours since he was released from prison and arrived here. Rody even feels like he's getting a little anxious.

Ding!
After arriving at the floor, the elevator doors open in both directions, front and back.

On each side is a dark grey, endlessly extending narrow passage.

There were no windows, no gaps, and even the light came only from the red inside the elevator. The red that spread outwards only reached a few meters before being swallowed up by darkness.

≮The Exploration Bureau assessment is all single-player mode, to verify your personal survival ability when you are completely alone during the corner exploration. You need to separate here and choose a path each.

The assessment will not start immediately.
After you embark on your respective paths, you will also receive certain guidance and preparation time, including effective eating, basic warm-up, waste metabolism and necessary examinations before the assessment.

Regardless of the outcome, thank you very much for your efforts in human exploration and the continuation of civilization. ≯
The mechanized voice ends.

The two simply exchanged glances before walking into different dark passages.

As we went deeper, this airtight passage became more and more oppressive. Even the altitude was decreasing, the air was gradually becoming thinner, and the oxygen content continued to decrease.

However, Luo Di did not feel any psychological discomfort.

It was more of a feeling of excitement, an indescribable excitement. Even the crows in the dressing room ran out and stood at my shoulders, neighing.

The neighing from the crow is drier and sharper, and can be continuously transmitted through such channels.

After the radio device in a certain monitoring room captured the crow's cry, it couldn't help but lower the volume.

The Rody shown in the surveillance footage not only has a basic description of various body functions, but also has a very obvious fear value bar floating above the character's head.

Once the red line is reached, the assessment will be forced to be interrupted.

however,
From the time Rody entered the elevator until now when he continued to go deeper, the fear value above his head has always been zero.
