Odd Containment Specialist

"Sit down, sit down. The kitchen is already preparing. Take a break and have a cup of tea." Su Zhengyi invited Xia Shou to sit down.

Su Yue also sat down on the same sofa, not far from Xia Shou and not too close.

Su Zhengyi rubbed his hands slightly, thinking about how to treat Xia Shou. The title needs to be considered, and the position of the role also needs to be considered. If Xia Shou only calls him uncle, it seems that Xia Shou puts himself in the position of a junior, but why is this?

"Mr. Xia, thank you so much for last time. If it weren't for you..."

"Just call me Xia Shou! In addition, please don't mention the last incident again. Su Yue should also pay attention to it in the control bureau in the future. On the surface, I have never participated in your rescue operation. I will write that I am somewhere else in the report." Xia Shou said hurriedly.

Su Zhengyi smiled and nodded gently: "Okay, okay, I understand. Then Xia Shou, how old are you this year?"

"Eighteen, but in a few months, I will be nineteen." Xia Shou replied.

"One year older than Su Yue, just the age to take the college entrance examination. I didn't expect that he has already taken on such an important social responsibility." Su Zhengyi sighed from the bottom of his heart, and then asked with concern, "Is a job like yours dangerous?"

Xia Shou thought for a moment and nodded: "The mortality rate is still quite high."

I haven't learned about the specific average mortality rate, and the control bureau's mortality rate statistics are also very complicated. If you can survive a year in a department, you are considered an old man. As long as you can perform tasks normally in this year, a first-level extraordinary person can also get the title of first-level finisher.

But the statistical mortality rate is not of much reference significance to individuals, because the distribution is too uneven. It is not that the average mortality rate is 30%, and 30% of the personnel will die in one mission. It is possible that no one dies in one mission, or it is possible that all of them die.

In addition to the changes in the time span, the entire control bureau may have a mortality rate of only 5% throughout the year, but it may also suddenly surge to 70% in a certain year. Any sudden extreme weirdness may cause irreversible consequences if the response is wrong.

For example, the Black Death in the Middle Ages. Now many people believe that the cause was the church's stigmatization of cats, which led to the cat-killing movement that led to the spread of the plague, and eventually this terrible plague spread across Europe. It took nearly three hundred years for it to stop, and nearly 30% of the population of Great Britain died from this horrific disease.

However, there are many reasons behind this, including the mysterious power of the extraordinary.

During that period, the mortality rate of the extraordinary was much higher than that of ordinary people.

"Since the mortality rate is so high, what made you want to work in the Control Bureau?" Su Weiyu's mother brought tea and gently placed it on the tea table, seemingly asking casually.

Xia Shou thought for a while and told the other party part of the reasons he knew.

"On the one hand, it is because of the mutual attraction of extraordinary things. You should have also discovered that many ordinary people don't notice those strange extraordinary people walking on the street, right? But now you can see them."

"Yes! That's right." Su Zhengyi nodded in agreement

"For this reason, extraordinary people are more likely to be involved in abnormal events than ordinary people, but even if they have superpowers, they can't deal with all kinds of strange abnormal phenomena, so there is an organization like the Control Bureau. In addition, it is persecution from other people of the same kind.

Now Su Yue is also working part-time in the Control Bureau, and should be able to understand this. Every superpower has a very exaggerated influence in the secular world.

If a superpower can turn stones into gold, he is often not a rich man, but is kidnapped by other violent superpowers and turned into a machine that continuously produces gold."

"The man is innocent, but he is guilty of possessing a treasure." Su Zhengyi sighed.

Xia Shou nodded: "Yes, so the extraordinary people without combat power must rely on reliable organizations, just like Su Yue, who has a special physique. If no one protects her, there will definitely be more cult members trying to kidnap her."

"I can understand it a little bit. Weak extraordinary people do need to rely on organizations, but why do powerful superpowers do that?" Su Zhengyi continued to ask curiously.

"The strength of extraordinary people is only relative to their peers. In the face of abnormal phenomena, any powerful extraordinary person is vulnerable, so they have to keep warm together. For example, in my most recent mission, there were many people who were stronger than me, but we almost died." Xia Shou said.

Su Zhengyi's expression became more solemn and he became more worried: "That's indeed very dangerous. This should have a great impact on your daily life, right?" He began to insinuate the family life of extraordinary people.

"Daily life... In addition to going to work and taking missions, they also eat and sleep like ordinary people. I don't think there is anything special." Xia Shou thought.

"What about marriage? Such a dangerous job should have a great impact on family life, right?" Su Weiyu's mother couldn't help but ask about the most concerned thing.

"Wife! Xia Shou is only 18 years old, how can he know these things." Su Zhengyi immediately reminded.

"I don't know this, but almost all administrative staff of the Control Bureau have families. As for the closers and investigators... I don't know much about them." Xia Shou thought of Wulang and Baihe, but neither of them looked like married people.

Fat Brother has a fiancée, and Bai Brother seems to be a star-chasing otaku.

Oh, right!

"I almost forgot. I want you to get me an autograph." Xia Shou immediately took out a small box that Baihe had prepared for him from his pocket. He opened the box and found three movie photos inside. They were close-up photos of Su Yue in the three movies "Counterattack! Imprisoned Girl", "Absolute Idol" and "Girl Sherlock Holmes".

When Xia Shou took out these three photos, even Su Yue was stunned for a moment. She suddenly felt that her success rate seemed to have greatly increased.

"My friend is your fan and asked me to come and ask you for an autograph this time." Xia Shou explained a little embarrassedly.

"Of course it's no problem! Brother Xia Shou's friend."

Su Yue smiled and picked up a pen from the coffee table. She signed her name on the business card very beautifully, drew a heart on the back, then turned it over and wrote the blessing of "May your wishes come true and everything goes well" on the back. She just missed a lip print on it.

Su Zhengyi and Lin Xue on the side suddenly figured out why Xia Shou called them uncle and aunt when they first met.

It turned out that he was a fan of Su Yue!

After knowing this premise, it was easy to figure out Xia Shou's thoughts. Su Zhengyi felt that the situation was very tricky.

He didn't think Xia Shou was a bad kid. The only thing he was dissatisfied with was his overly dangerous job.

"Mr. Su, dinner is ready." The housekeeper came over and said.

"Oh, let's eat first and talk while we eat. Xiaoyue, you take Xia Shou over first. My mother and I will be there soon." Su Zhengyi immediately changed the subject and winked at his wife, indicating that they would have a small meeting later.

"Brother Xia Shou, let's go." Su Yue returned the three postcards to Xia Shou.

"Thank you!" Xia Shou put them in the box very solemnly, thinking that Brother Bai would definitely not complain now.
