Enforcer's Handbook

"Don't talk about ghosts at night, it's scary."

Song Lan protested.

However, the environment outside the floating car has nothing to do with horror. Although night has already enveloped the first district, the entire city is brightly lit under the cluster of company buildings.

The first district is also known as the city that never sleeps. The sky is filled with colorful lights and advertising projections. Anyone who looks at it will think that this is a dreamlike big city. But in fact, people under the night are busy working overtime and have no time to appreciate it. Wonderful night view of District 1.

Lu Xiang rolled his eyes at Song Lan.

I really can't believe a word of this stupid bird's words. Every time he keeps claiming that he is afraid of ghosts, he directly brings the ghosts home.

And according to the description on the chip, Elmon has completed the separation of consciousness and body. The body stored in the suitcase can be described as a corpse. However, Song Lan hid the corpse in his safe for a long time. In the past month, all the above signs have made him look more like a perverted killer.

"On the bright side, you and your role models are becoming more and more alike."

"example?"

"General Porusalino."

Lu Xiang learned about this virtual character who was once regarded as a role model by Song Lan through some channels.

As one of the three generals of the navy, he is also the head of the naval science force, which corresponds to Song Lan's current two positions.

"It really is."

Song Lan suddenly realized.

If all the elements are complete, then he can enjoy the fishing life like General Porusalino.

The hover car was still driving in the night sky, and advertisements in the cloud caught Song Lan's eyes.

In the first area, you will only ever see two types of ads.

One is a public service advertisement that promotes hard work and dedication to the company to which one belongs; the other is a product advertisement that stimulates consumption and encourages advanced consumption.

According to statistics, although the average salary in District 1 is five times that of border cities, almost 70% of the workers here are moonlighters. You can easily find luxury goods in this city that are worth as much as military-grade prosthetics.

Fortunately, neither he nor Lu Xiang are interested in luxury goods.

But now, the neon advertisement on one of the floating boats is questioning Song Lan's soul.

Lu Xiang noticed Song Lan's eyes, cleared his throat, and asked solemnly, "Think about it carefully, why did you come to the first district, why do you want to get ahead?"

Some interviewers will also ask this question to fresh graduates during the interview. This will be a "proposition" that determines the graduates' future. Answers that are too poor or too good will have an uncontrollable impact on their future.

"Because of my wife's instructions."

"Ah, well, it is undeniable that this is the main reason."

The sudden "stab" made Lu Xiang, who was known for his calmness, blush all over his face, and he even stumbled when he spoke.

But according to her observation, this raid was probably not a deliberate act by Song Lan. The stupid bird seemed to be fascinated by the advertisement in the distance, completely immersed in its own world, and did not realize what she just said. What an incredible statement.

This also made Lu Xiang realize his problem.

Lu Xiang, Lu Xiang, your defense is really too low.

In terms of online buzzwords, she is probably the representative of high offense and high defense.

"A Love Tip Every Day" gave her unparalleled offensive capabilities and mastered a variety of skills, but there was still a long way to go in terms of defensive practice.

At least I won't be able to lose my temper like this just because of saying "My dear wife" in the future!

Lu Xiang secretly made up his mind to send an anonymous reader opinion letter to the editorial department of "A Love Tip a Day" tomorrow. They have provided enough attack moves. In the next work, he should focus on teaching people How to defend.

Fortunately, Song Lan didn't notice the change in Lu Xiang's expression. His pupils reflected the image of the company's senior management projected by the airship using a virtual image.

Strict and refined, it seems to be what every working man dreams of becoming.

Lu Xiang regained his composure and asked, "Becoming a naval admiral is not easy, and standing out is not an exaggeration to describe it. Why do you regard General Porusalino as a role model?"

"Because he made me understand something."

Song Lan's eyes were deep, "As long as you can sit in the position of a general, you will not be punished even if you go to work every day instead of doing your job, drink tea to maintain your health, destroy public property during battles, and let go of wanted criminals from time to time."

If what General Porusalino did was done to an ordinary navy man, he would have been kicked out of the navy long ago, and he might even have become a wanted criminal.

He felt that the coalition government was no different than a virtual caricature.

When the chairman of the evaluation committee invited him, he specifically stated that he could only report to the department for two days a week, not counting performance appraisals. For the workers who still work in these buildings, 996 is just the most basic system. On top of this, there is also a final elimination system and terrible performance appraisal.

In the long-term practice process, the company has developed a mature solution.

First of all, every migrant worker will have a huge loan for prosthetic modification on the first day he joins the company. Of course, the company will treat this loan as an "employee benefit" and spread it into their monthly salary. Then there are the advertisements that float above everyone's heads every day, and the extremely rich loan business.

As long as you have a stable job in District 1, you can easily handle various loan businesses through various methods. In many cases, you can spend a month's salary with just a move of your fingers.

For those luxury goods that ordinary workers cannot afford, sellers also provide a variety of packages.

"Buy early and enjoy early!" 』

Song Lan saw one of the neon signs.

Although it is difficult to afford such a high expense with one month's salary, if you take one year or even several years as a period and spread it evenly over each month, you will be surprised to find that you can afford luxury goods. This will allow you to have a quality of life that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve.

"Full-range massager? Do you want to buy that one?"

Lu Xiang followed Song Lan's gaze.

41999 watts!

The ad was followed by a slogan offering a shocking discount.

She thought for a while and said, "I can also massage and clean my ears. It should be much more comfortable than a full-range massager."

"No, I'm not planning on buying this."

Song Lan shook his head, "I just feel that there seems to be no change in the first area compared to last time. My attempt seems to have failed."

After experiencing devastation, District 1 was back on track in less than a month, and it seemed that no matter how many times it was repeated, the foundation of the coalition would not be shaken.

"External efforts are useless, but with your current position, if you work harder, you might be able to become a member of the Council."

"Why should I join the Council?"

"Being a council member will allow you to raise issues at meetings. If the issues are adopted and passed, you may be able to change the status quo from within. I believe that the chairman of the council will also welcome you to join the council."

"...Why do I feel like you are deceiving me?"

Let’s not talk about how troublesome it is to have to go to meetings every now and then. Even if Lu Xiang’s suggestion is feasible in theory, it is completely impossible to happen in actual operation. Even without joining the council, he is very aware of this type of thing. The plan will be rejected unanimously.

"The so-called council is formed by family leaders and company leaders. It is related to the fundamental interests of the company and the family. How can they pass proposals that violate the interests of the family?"

"Disruptive psionic energy."

Lu Xiang whispered, "Isn't the definition of interference psionic energy by the Psychic Research Institute the ability to control people's bodies through psionic energy, and even distort their thinking?"

"Lao Lu, this is not a statement a public official should make!"

Song Lanke has never had the idea of ​​becoming a behind-the-scenes mastermind. In his opinion, there is no more difficult profession in the world than a behind-the-scenes mastermind - fighting for a lifetime for a seemingly unattainable ideal, hiding one's true self, and having to rely on interpersonal relationships. After living a life of walking alone, there is a great possibility that he will be defeated by a brave man who appears out of nowhere.

Use disruptive psychic powers to control the council and control everything in the coalition government.

Song Lan estimated that anyone who could do all this would be hard-pressed to live beyond the age of forty, and would die of overwork due to endless work.

This is obviously not the life he pursues.

"I see."

Lu Xiang nodded, "The role you assume should be that of a brave man who appears out of nowhere."

She felt that these two identities perfectly fit the relationship between "Destiny" and Song Lan. "Destiny" spent an unknown amount of time and energy to control the entire upper world, but was defeated by Song Lan who had just arrived. Destroyed.

It's a pity that even she never witnessed the outcome of that battle.

I wonder if the other party hid in some unknown place and secretly dropped the pearl after all his great intentions were burned down?

"I just suddenly remembered what happened before."

She paused for a while and explained, "I also found the information about the Grand Prosecutor's followers in the chip."

Not everyone in this world can become a remembered hero like Chai Ke, Fein Elnim or Dorag Saffron. There are also many unknown people who will not be remembered by anyone even after giving their lives. Remember their names.

This is the kind of person who is the follower of Chief Prosecutor Dominus.

"He is a psychic certified by the Psychic Research Institute. After failing to be promoted to a five-star rescuer, he was sent to District 17 to assist in the experiment. Perhaps this was also to prevent Anjie Foster from violating their cooperation."

Interfering psychic powers, coupled with special drugs tailored for his abilities by the Psychic Research Institute, allowed them to brainwash Mayor Selbot into becoming their puppet without anyone noticing. .

Without Song Lan's intervention, I am afraid that every mayor in the seventeenth district in the future will follow the same path as Serbot. Even Aureliano, who has the least dealings with the company and family, is just an ordinary person after all. , under the interference of psychic abilities and drugs for a long time, it is only a matter of time before he becomes a puppet.

Perhaps in a certain timeline without Slowpoke, Anjie Foster and Mr. Chaiko have both reached the peak of their lives.

"The Psychic Research Institute has canceled all personal information of the follower. No wonder I have never been able to find out his true identity."

It stands to reason that for a city like District 17 without a permanent rescuer, a powerful four-star interference psychic is enough to become the mastermind behind the scenes in the local area, even if it is the Grand Prosecutor who he seems to be serving. The official is just a puppet on strings.

However, history is always similar, and Slowbird seems to have characteristics such as "the mastermind nemesis behind the scenes".

This also directly resulted in the fact that no one knows Mr. Follower’s name to this day.

"Lao Lu, why are you suddenly so sentimental today?"

Song Lan withdrew her gaze looking into the distance.

In his opinion, reminiscing about the past is not a good thing, it usually means that something is coming to an end.

For example, a soldier who was seriously injured on the battlefield took out a photo from the interlayer of his helmet.

This photo took him back many years ago, when the war had not yet come and he was just an ordinary person living in a border city.

For a time, the cannon fodder and the sound of fighting disappeared, and the soldiers' hearts enjoyed the long-lost tranquility.

Usually when similar scene language appears in a movie, Song Lan knows that this person is probably going to be the one.

Lu Xiang did not answer this question.

She felt that she had actually given the answer to this question.

The chip Jiu provided reminded her of many things.

All seemingly coincidental events are ultimately the product of fate, and the thread of fate connects everything together.

And Song Lan has achieved his goal.

Like General Porusalino, you no longer have to face pressure from above when fishing. You can save enough money to pay off your loans and achieve financial freedom very quickly.

This also seemed to mean that they were getting closer to the "ghost".

The rest of the journey was speechless.

The suspended car drove through the track woven with colorful lights, leaving the glitz of the entire city behind. Song Lan chose an apartment far away from the city. It is close to the sea. It is said that every year in the middle of summer, she can enjoy the beach and The beauty of the sea.

Many people in District 1 believe that this area is too remote and the transportation and supporting facilities are not convenient. As a result, housing prices here have slipped through the net and have not increased along with the development of District 1 over the years.

Lu Xiang felt that this was really a suitable place for retirement, and it fit Song Lan's style very well.

The hover car landed on the roof of the apartment building, and the roar of the engine soon stopped.

That question came to my lips again.

"Have you really thought of a countermeasure?"

This was the promise Song Lan made to Yue Ji, sisters Jasmine and Ya Kong when they came to visit their home that day.

Although this topic was later brushed off by him, based on her understanding of Song Lan, she could tell that he was different from his usual joking state. When he said this, he was serious.

"Um."

Happy Mid-autumn Festival!

Thanks to Gong Wuxian for the 355 starting coins!

Thanks to Dr. A for the 500 starting coins!

Small theater its three hundred and five:

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

It’s the long-awaited weekend again, but this weekend is different.

Continuing declines in productivity and attendance made the council so anxious that they held a new round of meetings on their days off.

Lu Xiang naturally asked for leave, and now she wants to imitate Song Lan and implement the fishing plan.

Half an hour had passed since the start of the meeting, but she was sitting peacefully opposite Song Lan.

But unexpectedly, facing the increasingly unbalanced battle situation, Song Lan showed no obvious concern. Early in the morning, he asked the ace courier Ye Lu to buy all the ingredients and fill the entire table with them. table.

"Lao Lu, what kind of filling do you like?"

"Mashed potatoes and fresh meat..."

After answering subconsciously, Lu Xiang said cautiously, "I declare in advance that bribing me with food is useless."

As she spoke, she glanced at the potatoes and fresh meat prepared in the basket. Song Lan seemed to have already guessed her answer.

Okay, maybe it still has some use.

Night Heron's choices are much wilder - beef, pork and lamb, no vegetables.

Lu Xiang watched for a while and asked curiously, "What are you doing?"

"moon cake."

"moon cake?"

She had never heard of this food before.

"Comrade Lu Xiang, do you know what day today is?"
