Paranormal incident investigation notes

Facing Wang Zheng's inquiry, Lu Ming whispered: "Generally speaking, every year, depending on the number of tasks, as few as one person or as many as ten people die. Sometimes in extreme situations, even more people die. too much."

Zhang Dingshan had told him these data and the dangers of becoming a formal member of the action team before he officially joined.

Wang Zheng looked directly into Lu Ming's eyes: "I remember more than ten years ago, one year, in just one year, six action teams were wiped out, and twelve action teams suffered deaths, a total of 46 People died. And that year, there were 30 action teams, and the total number of field personnel was 152."

This is a 30% mortality rate!

Although he already knew about this matter, Lu Ming still felt a chill in his heart when Wang Zheng told it.

He once again thought about how he was transported to another strange planet by a spaceship during the "Mountain God" incident.

If Zhang Dingshan hadn't taken the risk to come later, he would have been dead at that time.

"Moreover, this mortality rate is based on the premise that every field team has received strict training, and if necessary, almost unlimited manpower and material resources can be mobilized anytime and anywhere."

Perhaps it was Wang Zheng's aggressiveness. At this moment, even though he already knew what he was talking about, he still felt a real death threat.

The huge sense of accomplishment, the thrills, the colorful life, the dream of becoming a hero, behind it is the blood and cruelty hidden in the dark.

Wang Zheng continued to smile and said: "Each team has at least four people, and as many as nine people. Lu Ming, do you know why the second action team only has three people before you?"

This is another point that Lu Ming had not thought of before.

Why did Operation Team 2 only have three people in front of him? Could it be...

"Yes, it's what you think." Wang Zheng snapped his fingers: "One of the team members died."

Lu Ming stared straight into Wang Zheng's eyes: "If it's so dangerous, why don't you leave and resign? I remember that there is no such thing as not allowing resignation here in the Operations Department."

Before Lu Ming joined the second operation team, Zhang Dingshan had clearly told him that any official member had the right to resign at any time before the mission began.

Of course, if you choose to resign, the relevant benefits given by the World Government will be partially or fully withdrawn depending on the situation.

Of course, once you confirm your acceptance of the task, you are not allowed to resign.

Wang Zheng laughed, his voice echoing in the training hall.

"Since it is a transaction, it must be done voluntarily between both parties. Lu Ming, do you think that if it were not so dangerous and the requirements for personnel quality were not so high, the World Government and the Operations Office would be able to offer such a high price to you and me? Such good treatment?"

Lu Ming was silent.

After a moment, he murmured: "What exactly do you want to say?"

"What I want to say is very simple. I invite you to join Operation Team 16." Wang Zheng smiled and said: "My price is to give you the opportunity to become teammates with the strongest. Only the strongest will cooperate with each other. Only by relying on each other can we continue to survive in the constant tasks, enjoy the extraordinary treatment given by the world government, and accumulate enough treatment levels and wealth to finally retire safely.

However, my Operation Team 16, from me, the captain, to my team members, are all the strongest.

Your performance is good enough and you are qualified to become a temporary member of Action Team 16. If you can continue to maintain your excellence, you will become a formal member of Action Team 16 in the future. "

"Lu Ming, why did you stop?"

At this time, Zhang Dingshan, who had left before, returned.

Seeing Zhang Dingshan come in, Lu Ming stood up in a hurry: "Captain Zhang, it's Captain Wang who is looking for me, looking for me..."

Wang Zheng didn't seem to see Zhang Dingshan, but still looked at Lu Ming with a smile: "Captain Zhang of your second action team used to be a very good captain. But since that incident,..."

He shook his head, as if he was regretting something: "If you are interested, just come to me. You are welcome at any time."

After that, he turned around and bowed to Zhang Dingshan in a very exaggerated manner: "Hello, Captain Zhang."

Afterwards, he straightened up, laughed and left.

Lu Ming looked at Zhang Dingshan and saw that his expression was still calm, without any fluctuation.

"Keep training."

"yes."

Lu Ming hurriedly agreed.

In the following training sessions, Lu Ming made several mistakes because he was always absent-minded. If the coach hadn't always been watching, he might have been injured.

Today's class finally ended and Lu Qingliang found him.

"Lu Ming, your house purchase funds have been approved. Find a time to look at the house."

This is also one of the benefits for field personnel of the Operations Division.

According to different levels, each field staff has a certain amount of house purchase funds, and can freely purchase any property in any city around the world. As long as the limit is not exceeded, the entire purchase price will be provided by the Operations Department.

For a field officer like Lu Ming, who had just joined Operation Team 2 and had not even carried out a mission yet - the previous "Mountain God" incident did not count, his purchase funds were probably enough to buy a large house in a prime location in the capital city. house.

In addition, subsequent decoration, electrical appliances, furniture, etc. will also be provided by the Operations Department. Even the subsequent water and electricity bills, nanny fees, property fees, cars, gas fees, insurance, etc. are all provided by the Operations Office.

This is part of the hidden benefits hidden behind the apparent annual salary of half a million yuan.

Of course, at this moment, Lu Ming only has the right to use this house, but does not have ownership yet. If he resigns now, the house will have to be taken back.

"Okay, I get it, take some time."

Lu Ming answered absentmindedly.

"Lu Ming, what's wrong with you?"

Lu Ming looked at Lu Qingliang: "Our second operation team, did something happen before I came?"

"oh?"

"Today, the captain of Operation Team 16, Wang Zheng, came to see me..."

Lu Ming recounted what happened today.

As a result, Lu Qingliang's expression also gained a hint of gloom.

"Yes, something did happen. But... this is related to the details of a certain mission. Due to confidentiality rules, I can't tell you. What I can tell you is that originally, our second operation team was very different from Wang Zheng's operation. Team Six is ​​the only one among the thirty action teams in the Operations Department that is rated A-level. However, after that incident, our team's rating dropped to the lowest level, D-level."

The team's rating is related to a series of treatment issues, as well as many aspects such as the right to speak and priority within the operations office.

Lu Ming had previously known that the rating of Action Team 2 was the lowest level D, but he did not know that it was due to a certain incident that they were directly downgraded from the highest level A to level D.

"It's the confidentiality code again!" Lu Ming complained: "They are all from the Operations Department, but they are still so strict about confidentiality. This is unreasonable!"

The Operations Office handles so many supernatural incidents every year. From a common sense point of view, shouldn’t the handling process and results of these incidents be made public and familiar to every field staff member?

The more cases you are familiar with, the more you can summarize your experiences and lessons, and the better you can handle the next case.

As a result, the regulations of the Operations Division are that except for some public information, such as certain technological artifacts, such as the 'neutrino bomb' used in the Mountain God incident, the handling process and methods of each case, The results were kept strictly confidential, and even internal personnel were not allowed to circulate them. As a result, although Lu Ming was hired, he did not even know about any other cases.

"You have misunderstood."

Lu Qingliang shook his head: "Behind every rule of the Operations Department, there are a lot of experiences and lessons learned through blood and tears.

The reason for this provision is that a large number of analytical experts behind the Operations Division found that there is no such thing as experience and lessons for supernatural events.

Because almost no two cases have anything in common. The experience and lessons learned from the previous case will not only be of little benefit to the next case, but will easily cause the investigators to fall into an experience trap and mess up the matter.

Only the field personnel's own qualities, such as psychology, force, decision-making ability, imagination, association ability, etc., are fundamental. Experience is not important at all, but harmful.

Therefore, the office has stipulated that all cases are prohibited from being circulated and kept strictly confidential, in order to prevent us from bringing the experience of other cases into new cases. It is also for this reason that our veteran team members have to undergo special psychological training after each mission. "

Lu Ming thought about it and felt that it made sense. He couldn't help but feel resentful.

But in a moment, he realized: "This is wrong! Every case must be kept confidential, so how did Wang Zheng know that I performed well?"

Lu Qingliang snorted: "There are thirty action teams in the department. Except for Wang Zheng's sixteenth team, each of the other teams has a reserve team. New recruits are usually recruited from the reserve team. Do you know this?"

Lu Ming nodded: "I know that. But Team 16 doesn't have a reserve team? Then they... uh."

Lu Ming suddenly understood.

The Sixteenth Team has no reserve team because the remaining twenty-nine action teams are the Sixteenth Team's reserve team.

The fact that he can be recruited into the team by Zhang Dingshan proves his excellence. Wang Zheng didn't need to know the truth about the "Mountain God" incident.

After absorbing himself as a temporary team member, he can be led around by a mule or a horse and perform a mission. The specific quality will of course be seen. Then eliminate the inferior ones and keep the superior ones, and the cycle continues.

"No wonder Wang Zheng dared to say that all the sixteen teams are strong..."

A truly strong person is not afraid of challenges and will certainly have the confidence to stand out. As a result, they can form a team with other outstanding experts and obtain the highest survival rate among the field personnel of the entire operations office.

This model has a natural appeal to the truly strong.
