Chapter 152 A Plain Morning
Su Ming followed Sylvie in the dimly lit corridor. He watched Sylvie open the back of the recorder, take out two batteries from it, and then put two other identical batteries in.
So that's why. No wonder the indicator light didn't come on just now - the minister cheated.
Sylvie picked up two batteries and moved her fingers. One of them made a crackling noise, exactly the same noise the recorder had made just now.
"These two batteries have been modified so that the power supply can be cut off or connected at will. As long as I gently turn the button on my cuff, they will start working, stop supplying power to the recorder, and simulate the noise of an honest recorder pretending to be running.
And I turned this button and they became like normal batteries, and the recorder worked normally."
Sylvie gently twisted the buttons on her cuffs to show Su Ming the effect of the cheating tool.
"Why does the Minister want to help me?" Su Ming looked at Sylvie puzzledly.
"Because I know there are some things you don't want others to know, and I also hate the Honesty Recorder. Rather than letting others know your secrets, I would rather be the only one to know it." Sylvie pressed the Honesty Recorder, and the recorder made a noise indicating that it was running.
Su Ming's nerves, which had just been relaxed for a short time, became tense again. Sylvie asked:
"Su Ming, why did you become stronger?"
"Anyway... I'm not doing anything bad. I'm a good person in the eyes of the public."
"Don't get off topic. This is not the answer I want to know." Sylvie smiled.
"I won't tell you that."
Sylvie stared at Su Ming for a while, her eyes considering and thinking.
Finally, she turned off the recorder.
"Okay, forget it this time, but you won't be able to escape it in the future."
She protected Su Ming not only because Su Ming was good by nature, but also because of Alice.
The analysis department's research has yielded results. Alice has the ability to eliminate abnormal emotional influences. Judging from current experiments, Alice has a high priority in eliminating abnormal emotional influences. None of the emotion-affecting objects temporarily stored in this investigation bureau can escape Alice's elimination.
Therefore, the analysis department believes that perhaps Alice's ability can still be effective when facing demons.
There are five demons imprisoned in the basement of the Investigation Bureau 7, but these five demons are very weak and have temporarily lost their terrifying characteristics, so experiments cannot be carried out on them. If experiments are really needed, they can only be tested on the battlefield.
If Alice can really reduce the demon's fear deterrence, she will be a very valuable strategic resource.
But Alice's ability is directly related to her mood. Recently, she really wants to see Su Ming, but Su Ming is not available, so Alice's ability has also declined.
Sylvie believed that in order for both Su Ming and Alice to give full play to their strengths, Su Ming must remain free.
Xi Wei patted Su Ming on the shoulder and encouraged him, "Work hard. I have high hopes for you."
After saying that, Sylvie turned and walked into the Special Attack Department's office and turned on the desk lamp at her workstation.
She stood in the darkness, looked at Su Ming in the corridor, and waved her hand as if to drive him away.
" Go and have some rest now, as you still have to attend today's chat tomorrow. No matter what, you must get the position of district chief for me," she said.
…
Su Ming walked , thinking about what Sylvie had just said along the way.
The other party's words gave him a deeper understanding of the world.
When Wang Lin said that the martial arts level of this world was also top-notch among many dimensions, Su Ming was a little bit unable to understand it at the time, but now he completely understands it.
Because this world is completely unreasonable, all kinds of abilities that can be called BUGs are mixed together, and any BUG-level character is enough to cause a big fight.
The Investigation Bureau is an even more transcendent existence in this world, as can be seen from Sylvie's attitude towards it. He possesses the ability to seize superpowers, but is completely ignored by the other party.
Su Ming could sense that Sylvie really didn't think he was a threat, which meant that even if the Investigation Bureau faced someone like him, they had the confidence to crush and control him.
However... this brings up another question, why didn't Super Intuition give a warning when he revealed his ability to seize super powers to the other party, but when he wanted to reveal Super Intuition, Super Intuition tried desperately to stop him?
Could it be that super intuition poses a threat to the investigation bureau?
…
In the office, Sylvie turned on the computer, looked at the pile of documents in front of her, and sighed...it was time to deal with official business again.
Sylvie reached out to the coffee cup next to her and poured coffee powder into it. Then she heard the sound of the electric kettle starting to work.
Sylvie turned her head and saw Yang Dong there, pressing the electric kettle for her.
"Xylvie, did you tamper with the recorder?" Yang Dong asked.
"Does Minister Yang also like to speculate?"
"Not really. I personally have a very good impression of Su Ming and I don't doubt him, but I think Su Ming's mental state is still quite worrying."
Sylvie's fingers stopped tapping the keyboard. She turned her swivel chair and faced Yang Dong. The water had just been boiled, and Yang Dong walked towards Sylvie with an electric kettle.
"Su Ming is too optimistic." Yang Dong said as he filled Sylvie's cup with hot water.
“Isn’t it good to be optimistic?”
"Too optimistic. Seeing him reminds me of Ye Xing. He exudes the same aura as Ye Xing. I am here to save more people. Their beliefs and reality are in conflict. He must realize the cruelty of reality this morning, otherwise he will become the second Ye Xing."
"But he said he came to the Bureau to become stronger."
"Huh? Was he telling the truth then? I thought you had already started cheating then."
"It's true. I didn't cheat at that time."
"Becoming stronger, perhaps to protect more people?" Yang Dong guessed tentatively.
"I'm not sure, but the potential he has shown so far has surpassed Ye Xing. Maybe he will be different from Ye Xing."
"Xylvie, you can't let your subordinates grow freely. Although this will accelerate their growth, it will also cause a situation that gets out of control... I think Jiang Yichuan is already on the verge of losing control. The price he paid is too high."
"Masukawa is a man of strong convictions, and I believe in him."
Yang Dong looked at Sylvie deeply and sighed. If he didn't know the price Jiang Yichuan paid, he would have thought that Sylvie was protecting her.
"It's up to you. People can't teach people, but things can teach people. I hope Su Ming won't be Ye Xing."
Xiliwei stopped Yang Dong who was about to leave and said, "Rather than paying attention to Jiang Yichuan and Su Ming, I think you should pay more attention to the people at Zhang Tianxiao's place."
"Who do you care about?"
"Ying Shuran."
"I think there's nothing wrong with Ying Shuran. She's always been very steady in her work."
"Think about it carefully."
…
The next day.
Su Ming woke up earlier than usual. As winter approached, the sun rose later than usual. At six o'clock in the morning, the sky was still gray.
Su Ming looked at the beds around him. Chu Xiaobai, who was lying on the next bed, was curled up in a quilt with only his face exposed. His pillow was soaked with saliva.
Opposite, Jiang Yichuan, who had not lived in the dormitory for a long time, also slept in the dormitory today. He lay on his back with his feet and hands together, his body straight, and the quilt covered him like a corpse without any wrinkles, which meant that he had not made any movement all night, just like a dead person.
"It's so scary. How did the captain develop this sleeping position?" Su Ming muttered to himself.
Suddenly, Jiang Yichuan, , opened his eyes and stood up. While standing up, he held the two corners of the quilt with both hands, folded the quilt into a neat tofu block, pushed it to the corner of the bed, and then turned to look at Su Ming.
"Good morning, workers." Jiang Yichuang said.
"Ah?" Su Ming was stunned.
"Don't you know? This is a very popular meme on the Internet. It means that although you don't want to go to work, you have to go to work. This is also because this name reveals the pursuit in the ordinary and shows stubbornness in humiliation. Although you have no money, you still have the courtesy of being neither humble nor arrogant, so it is very popular." Jiang Yichuang had a blank expression and a calm tone.
Su Ming stared at Jiang Yichuan's expressionless face and seemed to have sensed his intention. The captain might want to make the morning more lively by using popular memes, but... with such a stern face, the interesting memes turned into cold jokes.
"Captain, can't you just smile? You won't be energetic this way."
"Really? I think it's quite lively. If everyone greets each other in this popular way in the morning, it will add a touch of freshness to our quiet daily life, right?" Jiang Yichuang touched his chin, thinking seriously.
Su Ming didn't know whether Jiang Yichuan was joking or serious, but in any case, the daily life of the Investigation Bureau was not peaceful. Moreover, Jiang Yichuan was not suitable for the image of a working man. He was the kind of office worker who felt from the bottom of his heart that "the company is my home, and performance depends on everyone."
"Captain, this style of speaking doesn't suit you. Just say good morning normally." Su Ming sighed.
"…Okay, good morning."
Jiang Yichuan quickly changed into his sportswear, went to the bathroom to wash up, said hello and went out.
After Jiang Yichuan left, Chu Xiaobai, who was in the next bed, also woke up from his dream and asked dazedly, "What time is it?"
"Six o'clock." Su Ming replied.
"Oh, call me at six forty."
At first, Su Ming didn’t understand why Chu Xiaobai insisted on getting up at 6:40 when he stayed up late, but later Su Ming knew the reason.
Because Jiang Yichuang would bring homemade breakfast to the people in the dormitory at around 6:40, he would get up at 6 o'clock every day, then put on his sportswear and go out for a run, sprinting at his maximum speed. After 20 minutes, he would stop exercising and go to the cafeteria of the Investigation Bureau to borrow ingredients to cook and prepare breakfast for everyone in the Special Attack Department.
Because Chu Xiaobai was always absent from work, Jiang Yichuan would usually return to the dormitory at 6:40, leave breakfast for Chu Xiaobai, and then go to work.
In addition, Su Ming also learned from Chu Xiaobai that Jiang Yichuang would also be responsible for the transportation of dirty clothes in the dormitory and the purchase and replenishment of daily necessities.
Based on the information Su Ming has obtained so far, Jiang Yichuang's position in this dormitory is completely that of a nanny.
