Enforcer's Handbook

It turns out that trust strategies never go out of style.

After the nuns demonstrated the miracle in front of everyone, the civilians who originally clamored to leave the oasis today also changed their views.

Especially when they mentioned that it was not the Brotherhood that announced the recruitment, but the Oasis government, most people were moved.

The Brotherhood is notorious, and joining them means completely abandoning one's conscience.

But the government army is different. The local garrison has a formal establishment and is recognized by all the allied countries. In peacetime, it is an iron rice bowl that people are chasing after. If a soldier comes out of a family, a street gangster who joins the Brotherhood Then he will never cause trouble to them again.

In non-war times, the threshold for joining the local garrison is extremely strict. Every year, recruitment is almost always taken care of by related parties, and this good job cannot fall to civilians at all.

The arrival of the rebels changed everything.

As long as they can survive this war, this is an opportunity to completely change their lives.

"Nothingness" followed them all the way. It was almost afternoon when the two received the supplies, and the team behind them still couldn't see the edge. Unfortunately, when they expressed their willingness to join the church, they were met by the nuns. of rejection.

Their organization in the church is called the Sisters. Obviously, Song Lan and "Nihility" do not meet the standards of "sisters".

The church currently only recruits nuns, and more than one year of experience in mythology research is required.

Those who tried to muddle through were similarly rejected.

The two witnessed a burly man with a beard claiming his gender identity as female, but the nuns still rejected him.

Song Lan could only sigh that fortunately this was a border city of the oasis. If it were placed in the core city of the coalition government, these nuns would be in trouble.

"Didn't you say that the church needs a large number of believers? How come they have turned away most people?"

"Nothing" studied the recruitment notices of the local garrison. Compared with the church's recruitment standards, the recruitment notices are much looser.

To sum up, there is no gender limit, it’s alive.

As long as you meet the above criteria, you can become a regular soldier in Oasis even if you are missing an arm or a leg.

“Some organizations are strict about entry and easy out, while some organizations are easy to get in and hard to get out.”

The work experience of the Chief of the Anti-Fraud Publicity Section of the 17th District came into play again. The standards for the recruitment notice were very familiar. MLM organizations generally recruit people this way. “Generally speaking, developing followers is a long process. But now that the rebels are approaching the city, Oasis Peace Company is running out of time.”

Once believers join the church and find that miracles are out of their reach, they will want to quit.

If this kind of behavior is put into the army, it will become a deserter.

If caught, he will be tried by a military court. Even if he manages to escape from the oasis, he will be blacklisted and will not be able to return to his hometown again in this life.

"They can take advantage of the army's system and force recruits to pray."

"Nothingness" is doubtful about this.

Until they completed the registration process according to the location on the notice, carried their luggage and walked into the company's temporary military camp in Root City, the daily schedule explained everything.

After a while there was a prayer.

In the words of the instructors, this is to prepare them to survive the upcoming war.

The situation in the oasis is extremely bad. The rebels have occupied various major cities. If they want to win this war, in addition to unity, they must pray to the God of Life for a miracle.

Immediately afterwards, the story prepared by the church appears.

It is said that those who are blessed by the God of Life are like gods of war on the battlefield. Any wounds can be healed in a short time. They will attack the enemy tirelessly. Even the vicious resistance forces cannot stop them. .

The church's brainwashing of the instructors was very successful. He sincerely believed in the existence of the God of Life and believed that God would help them win this seemingly impossible war.

But the recruits listening to the speech frowned. They were not interested in stories about fighting the enemy bravely on the front line. They just wanted to know when the medicine used by the nuns would be officially distributed to them.

Because the nun promised them that this potion represented the power of the God of Life.

It can heal all injuries, regenerate broken limbs, and rejuvenate those who are terminally ill.

Everyone needs a bottle of this potion.

When the instructor saw that the recruit was distracted, he couldn't help but reveal his true face.

He fired a gun into the sky and suppressed the discussion. His ferocious expression was like that of a Brotherhood villain, which aroused the deepest fear in the hearts of the civilians.

He summoned all the new recruits to the square.

The current instructor is very motivated and has become a believer in the God of Life. More importantly, the church has given him a clear target - to gather the recruits to complete the prayers. This is a symbol of his firm belief and helps the lost lambs find their way While believing, this merit will also be credited to them.

"First of all, you must kneel on the ground with a pious heart."

The instructor asked the recruits to form a circle, which naturally aroused people's resistance.

In the square outside the military camp, the ground is rough and covered with gravel. No one wants to kneel on such hard ground. What's more, they don't understand the God of life at all, so how can they pray with a pious heart?

However, due to the instructor's scolding, the recruits reluctantly followed the order.

"This is your first prayer. I will personally guide you in completing it..."

The instructor's stern voice stopped abruptly.

When a group of people fell to their knees on the ground, the two people who were still standing in the crowd looked particularly blinking.

He walked quickly towards the two of them.

"Nothingness" folded his hands on his chest and did not give in. Let alone a little guy who didn't even have a name. Even if the God of Life himself appeared in front of him, he would not be able to kneel down and pray to him.

It might be possible to drag Song Lan along to the pub for a drink.

As the saying goes, the first bird is shot.

The instructor's hand reached for the leather whip tied around his waist. He was very happy that on the first day of the recruits' enlistment, two unruly thorns appeared. This was an excellent opportunity to teach others a lesson.

"Tell me about you..."

There was a brief blank in his consciousness, and when he came back to consciousness again, he found that he had already appeared in front of the two of them.

The moon and stars are sparse.

The cold wind in the evening made many people shiver.

What happened just now?

He vaguely remembered walking towards the two of them, intending to make them understand the consequences of disobeying discipline in front of all the recruits.

Even "Nothingness" was stunned for a long time.

The time jump happened without any warning, and he had just made preparations to cause trouble in the military camp and lead all the new recruits to launch a mutiny on the first day of gathering.

Judging from the current situation, Song Lan seems to have no plans to deal with the instructor for the time being.

Otherwise, when the blank space of consciousness returns to clarity, a corpse with a hole in the chest will appear in front of them.

Not only that, Song Lan also excitedly held the instructor's hand and said repeatedly, "Thanks to you, instructor, we have benefited a lot from today's prayer, but I still have some questions that I want to ask you for advice. Do you have time next time?" What?"

"Ah, oh, eh?"

It took the instructor a long time to accept the reality. He glanced at the time.

21:00 in the evening.

This is the end of the second prayer. According to the schedule, the recruits have one hour to wash up and have free time. They go to bed on time at 22:00 and go to bed on time, officially ending their first day of military career.

Judging from the current situation, the two people he faced were not only not thorns in the side, but also active members among the believers.

If placed in school, he would be the kind of good student who runs to the teacher as soon as possible after class to ask questions.

"Old Song, you..."

"Nothingness" was stunned.

A few hours passed in a blink of an eye, and the dark sky also meant that the lives of everyone in the world had leapt into the future by a few hours.

And all this was just to skip the "courses" that Song Lan didn't like.

To shorten the course time infinitely and extend the break time infinitely, this is Song Lan's wish as a student.

"It's been a long time since I met someone I can talk to so well. Instructor, I know there's a good restaurant nearby. I'd like to buy you a drink."

"okay."

The instructor nodded slowly, "Of course I have time to answer your questions."

This guy accepted the setting of a good friend without any explanation!

"Nothingness" could not hide his desire to complain. He knew very well that at the moment when time leapt, Song Lan's virus was deeply implanted into the instructor's body - this staunch believer in the God of Life had now become a soldier in the military camp. The first infected object.

And he completely ignored the rules prohibiting anyone from leaving the military camp.

"Lao Xu, please come together. I think you also gained a lot of insights from your prayer just now, right?"

"...Yes, I also have many questions that I would like to ask."

"Nothingness" was forced to produce many learning experiences.

For Song Lan, all this is under his control.

When time leaps forward, people's consciousness will fall into a brief blank. This is also the time when they are most vulnerable to the temptation of others.

No one understands this feeling better than Song Lan.

From time to time, the evil Director Lu would take advantage of his confusion when he just woke up to induce him to agree to some weird requests.

Although the supervisor did not participate in this operation, her spirit is with everyone.

At Song Lan's suggestion, the instructor who was supposed to supervise all the recruits staying in the military camp took the initiative to lead the two of them away from the main entrance. Seeing the three of them talking and laughing, the guards at the main entrance looked at each other - they had been there for a long time. I have never seen the instructor so happy.

After sitting down in the tavern and ordering some synthetic barbecue, Song Lan proudly ordered a bottle of high-end wine and a glass of apple juice.

The above funds are jointly sponsored by the law enforcement department of the 17th District and Princess Lieyang's small treasury.

"What does this apple juice mean?"

When Song Lan brought the apple juice to herself, the instructor undoubtedly cast a suspicious look.

It is extremely impolite to drink apple juice at the wine table.

Song Lan's expression remained unchanged, "Instructor, have you ever heard of the Ascetic?"

"Ascetic?"

"The so-called penance is to overcome the desires in one's heart. Even if you look at me now, in fact, I was once an alcoholic who was addicted to alcohol."

"Nothingness" was stunned again.

This Song Lan never told a word of truth from the beginning to the end. None of the fraud gangs in the Brotherhood are as good at deceiving people as he is!

But under the pressure of Song Lan's eyes, he coughed lightly and said, "Yes, he used to be a complete drunkard."

"What happened next? Why did you stop drinking?"

This topic successfully aroused the instructor's interest.

"Later, I overindulged myself for a while and drank so much every day that my stomach and intestines finally couldn't bear it. When I was sent to the hospital, the prosthetic doctor almost pronounced me dead. When a person is on the verge of death, his consciousness will leave the body. , all their past experiences would appear before his eyes like a revolving lantern, and at that moment, I heard a voice."

"what sound?"

The instructor seemed to feel something and asked.

"The voice asked me, if I were given a chance to do it again, what would I choose?"

A good lie must be both true and false.

There was a time when he did get drunk often. That was because Lu Xiang always liked to rack his brains to get him drunk and then take some behaviors that were not acceptable to outsiders.

Later, she heard that being drunk frequently was bad for her health, so she gave up the matter.

"You heard the whisper of the God of Life!"

The instructor was so excited that he almost stood up from his chair. The church had mentioned the existence of whispers, but even he had never really received the attention of the God of Life.

"She gave me a second life, so I decided to give up my desires and become an ascetic."

"I see."

"To be honest, the two of us came to the oasis this time to pursue the guidance of the God of Life. Instructor, in your eyes, what kind of existence is the God of Life?"

"Compassion and fraternity, she loves everyone in the world equally."

"I think so."

At this point, Song Lan suddenly changed the topic and asked, "So, once we start a war with the rebels, how many people do you think will survive the war?"

The instructor was silent for a while and did not answer the question directly.

If you look at this problem rationally, their chance of winning is infinitely close to zero, which is why he believes that only a miracle can help them win this war.

His eyes became much sharper, "What exactly do you want to say?"

"A merciful and loving God would really let her followers die for a war that is almost impossible to win?"

"Perhaps, this is the trial given to us by the God of Life. Courage and determination, as well as firm belief, are the qualities we want to show in this trial."

"These are important, but in addition, you must have enough wisdom."

"wisdom?"

"You are right, this is indeed a trial, but have you ever thought that maybe the real purpose of this trial is not to let us win this war."

Two hundred and seventy-seven of the small theater:

A certain day of a certain year, a certain day, a Saturday, early morning

The day finally came, and Lu Xiang stood in the spacious living room of the apartment, feeling uneasy.

The little baby lay on the carpet and curiously looked at the novel objects around him.

This is a tradition mentioned by Song Lan. The object caught by the baby often represents her future career choice.

The pen represents the writing worker.

Wallets represent entry into the financial world.

Empty bowls and chopsticks represent gourmets.

…

It took Lu Xiang a lot of effort to find these things. She was very curious about what kind of career her baby would choose.

"ready, go."

After receiving the instruction, the baby immediately moved quickly on the carpet. She crawled forward babblingly, ignoring all the objects around her. She crawled straight to Lu Xiang's side, and then hugged her calf tightly.

"...This, what does this mean?"

Lu Xiang had to ask for off-field assistance.

"Maybe she didn't understand the rules of drawing lots."

Song Lan said, "Come on, go and demonstrate it to her."

Lu Xiang nodded and walked to the center of the pile of objects. The little baby was sitting on the ground, looking at her curiously.

"ready, go."

After receiving the instruction, Lu Xiang ignored everything on the carpet and walked straight towards Song Lan.

Then, hug him.

The baby's eyes grew wider and wider.

"Lao Lu."

After several attempts to break free, Song Lan came to the conclusion, "I think the problem lies with you."
