Deep in the Living

Chapter 41 Special Rewards

As investigators were talking to two young people who had experienced unusual events,
A government car drove straight to the door of the investigation branch. The fourth person in this conversation joined in just when the previous topic had finished. He could be considered an old acquaintance.

A middle-aged man with a square face and a mole on his lip, Director of the Record Management Department of the Municipal Research Bureau, Wang Shuokang.

After learning that the unusual arrests in resettlement community No. 13 were directly related to Luo Di, the other party rushed over decisively.

As Director Wang took his seat, the focus of the conversation shifted to him.

"Ge Wenzhu, are you done with your questioning?"

"Director Wang, please."

"Ahem, let me get straight to the point. It seems that my idea is correct. One of you is very special and has a nature that is prone to 'accidents'.

It's only been half a year and we've encountered another accident. The opponent is still a basically mature pseudo-human. It seems that giving you the "Cornering Props" in advance is the right choice."

The squad leader was also curious and asked, "Besides us, are there other people who are similar and prone to accidents?"

"There are dozens of similar cases across the country, and some people are more extreme than you, experiencing it once or twice a month.

Of course, this nature has not yet been qualitatively determined, and even in other research institutes it is only considered to be a coincidence based on the population base.

What they said makes sense. According to statistics, the frequency of appearance of "Psychological Corner" is increasing year by year, the number of pseudo-people is increasing, and the probability of people encountering abnormal events will also increase.

In short, you two should try your best to balance school and family in the second half of the year. I hope you can successfully complete the entrance examination."

The monitor also continued the topic of mental corners, "Have you found the reason why Ms. Wu Huazhen, whom we met, formed a "thinking corner"? "

Director Wang tapped his bracelet. He had received the "pseudo-human file" from the Research Bureau two minutes ago.

"Ms. Wu Huazhen has lived alone for more than ten years after her parents died. During this period, she has pursued men but was rejected every time.

Over time, he began to doubt his own "appearance", and malnutrition and endocrine disorders led to hair loss, which made him fall into more self-doubt.

However, she is very good at disguising herself, and appears to be completely fine in the eyes of others.

She gradually began to go out less and stay at home longer.

She often sat alone in her empty home, daydreaming, and was unhygienic, which attracted flies, insects and spiders. She gradually developed arachnophobia.

Dislike or even outright hatred for one's own 'appearance', jealousy and desire for beautiful girls, and obsession with the wedding of one's lover,

The accumulation and fermentation of the above emotions eventually created a corner in my mind, and I lived as a pseudo-human for a full year and five days. "

“It’s been a year!”

"That's right. She has already killed someone before, so she is almost mature. This is a very good research subject. We will give you good rewards in the next two rounds.

Being able to survive this thing is enough to show how good you both are, and this experience will be clearly recorded in your files."

Rody was not interested in the nature of the fake man, or rather, from last night's experience, he had roughly deduced the reason why the other party formed a corner.

He was more concerned about the so-called reward, but Director Wang seemed to see through his thoughts and immediately said:
"Rodi, you are already very good as a student for being able to skillfully control the "Cornering Props" and even confront real fake people head-on.

If you were rewarded with another corner item, it would most likely exceed your tolerance limit.

Taking your family situation into consideration, I can apply for a generous reward fund and housing quota for you.

Although you will most likely be able to leave your current neighborhood after further studies, I still suggest that you move out of the neighborhood now. After all, this is the "second" abnormal incident that has occurred in your neighborhood, right? "

"The second case?" The squad leader was shocked. She had never heard Luo Di mention this matter, but she immediately remembered that the occupancy rate of resettlement community No. 13 was indeed very low.

Luo Di's answer was very firm: "I have already discussed it with my family. Now there is only one semester left and moving will involve many things, which will definitely have a certain impact on me. I will move out after I graduate."

Director Wang stared at Luo Di and suddenly thought of something.

"In that case, I have a special reward option here. In the incident last night, you injured Wu Huazhen with a weapon, right?"

"Yes."

“Take it out and have a look. Perhaps it has undergone some changes. After all, zombies have more than just hardening. They also have another important characteristic: [Bloodsucking].

If it can taste the high-value blood of its own kind, it might have a special reaction."

Upon hearing this, Rody immediately became alert, and even his sleepiness was forcibly suppressed.

From the end of the incident to now, he has not had time to check the condition of the zombie knife.

Unwrapping the shroud,
Luo Di was stunned for a moment.
He knew this knife better than anyone else. The originally lifeless blade had become somewhat active, with some of its nerves even moving slightly.

"Sure enough, after tasting the blood of older pseudo-humans, they become even more thirsty for blood. How about this! I'll make a decision for you directly. When the Research Bureau deals with Wu Huazhen, they will extract the cranial blood that flows through her pituitary gland.

This blood will be stored separately to feed your knife."

"how many?"

"No more than 100 ml, and you need to go to the Research Bureau in person and absorb it in front of us... The reason is simple. Blood sucking will increase the risk for you as the holder. We have to make sure you can still control this knife.

We will call you within five days.

In this case, you should be satisfied with the reward, right? "

"Thank you."

Investigator Ge Wenzhu standing by was well aware of the dangers of this approach, not to mention that the target was just a high school student.

But after looking at Director Wang's expression, he swallowed back what he was about to say.

"Then what reward do I get?" the squad leader asked impatiently.

Director Wang was not very interested in Wu Wen, "Your reward will be based on the standards of the Investigation Bureau.

I believe the reward is not too bad, right? Wenzhu. "

Ge Wenzhu didn't say anything, and a red-headed document was placed on the table.

"Reward for assisting in capturing 'Wu Huazhen (Anomaly)'"

Since you play a very important role in the capture process, you can choose from the following rewards:

1. After graduation, you will get an internship opportunity at the Jupiter City Investigation Bureau.

2. Assistance of 800 million rubles.

3. Obtain a set of investigator basic combat uniform (simple outfit).

The monitor thought it was nothing good, but when he saw the words on it, he decisively placed his finger on the number [3].

"Can you really give me something like this?"

Ge Wenzhu nodded. "Since it's written on paper, it will definitely be given to you. This is a decision made based on your outstanding performance. Of course, we also hope that you can actively participate in the screening of investigators in the future."

"Okay, I'll think about it. When can I get this dress?"

“It will be customized based on your physical examination information this morning, and our bureau will send someone to deliver it directly to you later.

The estimated customization time is 3 to 5 days, and a specialist will explain the wearing requirements and basic functions of the clothing in detail when you visit your home."

"Great!" The squad leader raised his hands high, as if he was cheering in victory.

Director Wang raised his hand and said, "Okay, you two have worked very hard. There will be a special car at the door to take you home safely. Have a good rest."

As the young man left, the two adults also had a special conversation.

"How is it, Wenzhu? The young man that our research bureau has chosen in advance is pretty good, right? He was able to survive such an incident and even caused some injuries to a pseudo-human of this level. This is unheard of.

Such a genius hopes that you can help keep it confidential, otherwise the higher-ups may come and poach him directly.

I think it would be best for both us and him to wait until this guy is an adult before releasing the information."

"Director Wang means that the incident report should weaken the description of this person."

Director Wang quickly raised his hand and said, "I didn't say that. I was just reminding you. After all, this is your investigation bureau's business."

Ge Wenzhu was naturally aware of Luo Di's potential, and he also wanted to keep such talents in the Municipal Bureau.

"By the way, Director Wang, who among them do you think is likely to cause an 'accident'?"

Director Wang did not answer verbally, but took out a detailed personal information from his briefcase and placed it on the desk.

When Ge Wenzhu took the document and began to examine it, his pupils gradually widened.

"This……"

Director Wang made a gesture to keep quiet.
