Chapter 71 Getting to Know
Eight o'clock in the morning, the square outside the Jiangcheng Special Affairs Bureau.
Chi Le arrived at the meeting point on time.
"Ha~ There are quite a few people."
He yawned and looked at the crowd that had gathered in the small square outside the door.
A rough count reveals there are over fifty people.
Most of them were people recruited into the Special Affairs Bureau during the bizarre intrusion incident on Changxing Street.
There was also a small group of unfamiliar faces.
I guess they learned the truth about the blockade of Changxing Street through some channels, or perhaps they had contact with Zhou Guiren.
This makes them more likely to fall into a bizarre world as they return home at dawn.
The Special Affairs Bureau has a comprehensive plan for dealing with such individuals.
Those who have already received the news will have their assistance delivered to their homes by the field operations department, and their water meters will be checked.
Information that is still circulating will be deleted and controlled by the Ministry of the Interior.
Recently, Chi Lok has been handling this type of situation at the Special Affairs Bureau.
In short, unlike Changxing Street, which was drawn into the bizarre fusion area, these people had personally come into contact with the bizarre.
They had indirect contact with the bizarre world.
But what they have in common with those who have personally experienced the bizarre fusion zone is...
They are more likely to fall into a bizarre world than ordinary people who know nothing.
Chi Le rubbed his eyes and yawned again.
He went back to sleep last night after reading the notification.
It must be said that the nearly 24-hour sleep made Chi Le feel refreshed and invigorated, something she hadn't experienced in a long time.
"Quiet down, everyone."
A gentle, calm voice rang out from in front of the crowd.
The conversation among the crowd gradually subsided, and everyone looked towards the head of the table.
On the flagpole in the square, a man in a sharp black suit and black half-rimmed glasses took charge of the scene.
Chi Le recognized this person; he was Zhong Shancheng, the head of the field operations department, a third-tier martial artist.
Despite his unassuming physique and seemingly frail appearance, Yu Xun said he was incredibly fierce.
Indeed, in Chi Le's perception, the chilling aura emanating from Zhong Shancheng was like the waves of a typhoon.
With overwhelming force, it washed over everything around it.
Seeing that the scene had quieted down, Zhong Shancheng continued to speak.
"Has everyone who received the message arrived?"
Zhong Shancheng paused, his gaze sweeping over the faces of everyone present.
"Those who haven't arrived yet will receive a termination notice in fifteen minutes."
"My name is Zhong Shancheng. I will be the deputy general manager in charge of the upcoming seven-day intensive training program and will be in charge of all training matters during the training period."
"Any objections must be raised within one minute; otherwise, it will be considered as resistance to training."
Zhong Shancheng's concise yet powerful words resonated deeply with everyone.
The group initially viewed this intensive training as a routine report presentation, where they would simply look at the materials and perhaps come into contact with some "mysterious creations."
But from Zhong Shancheng's ordinary words, everyone instantly realized that this intensive training might not be simple.
"That's not right. I heard from the senior members of the team that the centralized training was just a formality, a quick look at some materials, and some physical training. But Zhong Shancheng's words sound like there's something big going on?"
"Furthermore, centralized training is usually handled by the Internal Affairs Department, or at most by a squad leader. Why is the head of the Field Operations Department here this time?!"
"The person in charge isn't responsible for training, so I guess once they get to the location, the person in charge of training will just be someone who did the centralized training before."
"..."
Listening to the whispers around her, Chi Le also sensed that this intensive training was unusual.
Is the Special Operations Bureau taking this so seriously because of the recent Cheung Hing Street incident?
Chi Le recalled the mysterious fog invasion incident on Changxing Street.
He had also seen a small portion of the reports about this incident.
The incident involved more than 400 people, with over 50 deaths, not to mention those who were injured or suffered mental breakdowns afterward.
The impact of this mysterious fog invading the mortal world is unprecedented in the entire Jiangcheng.
[As Yu Xun mentioned, the area shrouded by this strange fog was too large, involving too many people, and the Jiangcheng Special Operations Bureau didn't have enough manpower available at the time, which led to such serious consequences.]
[Is this to ensure there are enough people to rescue ordinary people in case the mysterious fog invades the world again?]
[Is it just because we have more manpower? Or something else...?]
Chi Le pondered, feeling that this intensive training was not as simple as he had imagined.
Not a second more, not a second less, just one minute had passed when Zhong Shancheng spoke.
"Since there are no objections, please invite Director Wang to give a speech before the training session."
After Zhong Shancheng finished speaking, he stepped down from the flag platform and gave up his position.
A tall, muscular man, in stark contrast to Zhong Shancheng, stepped onto the flag platform.
Belatedly, the crowd in the small square began to applaud.
【this……】
Chi Le couldn't help but glance at Director Wang on the flag platform a couple more times.
It wasn't that Chi Le sensed a chilling aura emanating from Director Wang that far surpassed that of Zhong Shancheng.
On the contrary, he couldn't sense even the slightest trace of a breath!
It was as if the person standing on the flag platform was not Zhou Guiren, who was claimed by the outside world to be second only to one person in Jiangcheng.
He was an ordinary person who had never been exposed to the bizarre world, had no extraordinary abilities, and was just an average person.
This is not because Director Wang is an ordinary person.
Rather, it was because Director Wang's abilities far surpassed his own.
That's why he couldn't sense even the slightest presence.
Good morning, everyone.
Director Wang's voice was deep and somewhat hoarse.
He had a hideous scar on his left cheek, running from the corner of his eye all the way to behind his ear.
As he spoke, the scar trembled and twitched, like a crawling centipede.
"I hope everyone will take the training seriously."
"Set off."
The expected lengthy discourse did not materialize.
Chi Le glanced at Director Wang, who had already stepped down from the flag platform, and then at Zhong Shancheng, who was walking up.
Are the people in the field operations department all quiet?
……
Due to the large number of participants in the training camp.
When they set off for the eastern suburbs of Jiangcheng, they split into two cars and headed to the training camp together.
Sitting next to Chi Le was a shy girl who looked to be around twenty years old.
Chi Le was not a talkative person to begin with, and he had been thinking about how Qingshan Temple should develop in the future, as well as what purpose was hidden behind the Special Affairs Bureau's unusual training arrangement.
Therefore, he kept a blank expression and kept his gaze fixed on the window.
The young girl wanted to strike up a conversation with Chi Le beside her to prevent the atmosphere from becoming so heavy.
Moreover, I seem to have seen Chi Le at the Ministry of the Interior.
As a colleague in the same department, the young woman felt it was necessary to say something.
But seeing Chi Le's indifferent face and his unwavering gaze fixed on the window, he was struck by her cold expression.
Her clothes were almost torn, but she still didn't dare to speak to Chi Le.
The atmosphere at Chi Le's seat instantly plummeted to freezing point.
"Hello, my name is Wu Min, and I currently work as a general assistant in the field operations department."
"Hello, I'm Luo Yang, also working odd jobs in the field operations department."
The two people in the front seats turned around, leaned out of their seats, and took the initiative to greet the shy little girl and Chi Le.
The little girl's face visibly brightened, and she quickly spoke up.
"I...I am Chai Siyuan, from the Internal Affairs Department."
While the little girl secretly rejoiced, the two male employees in the front seats turned their heads and stared intently at Chi Le.
Feeling the two intense gazes, Chi Le snapped out of her daze and spoke.
"Hello, my name is Chi Le, and I'm also from the Internal Affairs Department."
