Trickster Hunter

Chapter 3 On-the-job training

…

Three days passed in a flash, but Sun Hang's memory showed no signs of recovery.

At nine o'clock in the morning on the third day, before the doctor for routine rounds arrived, two soldiers in black tactical equipment opened the door of the ward with a certificate and a discharge summary signed by the director.

They asked Sun Hang to change into a light gray uniform, and then took him to an SUV with anti-peep film on the windows and the logo of the Tianfu City Abnormal Investigation Bureau printed on the side.

"Where are you taking me? The Investigation Bureau?" Sun Hang couldn't help asking.

The two soldiers didn't speak, but just sat on his left and right, holding their weapons in silence... They gave Sun Hang the feeling that they were escorting a criminal.

Sun Hang could only look at the buildings on both sides of the road... He realized that he didn't feel familiar with Tianfu City at all. Not only that, he couldn't speak the dialect of Tianfu City. It can be seen that before he lost his memory, he was probably not a local resident of Tianfu City.

Could he really be a refugee?

After an hour and a half of driving, the SUV stopped in an empty yard.

At the signal of the two soldiers, Sun Hang got out of the car alone, and then the SUV drove out of the yard quickly.

"Please show me your ID." A middle-aged man wearing the same light gray uniform as Sun Hang, but with the logo of the Abnormal Investigation Bureau on his chest and cuffs came up and said to Sun Hang.

Sun Hang took out his only two IDs from his pocket and handed them over.

"0420, right? I'm waiting for you." The middle-aged man returned the ID to Sun Hang, "The induction training is about to start, follow me."

He took Sun Hang into the house. In a stepped lecture hall with an area comparable to that of a movie theater, there were already more than 20 people sitting sparsely on the seats. They all wore the same unmarked uniforms as Sun Hang.

"The newcomers of this period have arrived, and we can start." The middle-aged man said to the intercom hanging on his shoulder, and then found a seat in the last row and sat down.

Sun Hang also sat down in the last row, with two empty seats between him and the middle-aged man.

Not long after, a tall and thin man in a white coat walked up to the podium and said, "First of all, welcome to the Tianfu City Abnormal Investigation Bureau. Although you are only temporary investigators outside the staff, I believe that in the near future, it is only a matter of time before you become a regular employee."

"It is only a matter of time before your life starts over." Sun Hang heard a young woman sitting in the row in front of him muttering, "You are just making promises right away... Do you really think everyone sitting here is a fool?"

Sun Hang quietly stood up, bent his waist and secretly moved to the front row, sat down next to the young woman, and lowered his head. "You were also... 'voluntarily' signed that contract?"

"What else?" The young woman glanced at Sun Hang and raised her eyebrows. "Those who can sit here owe the Federation a large sum of money and can't pay it back. They have no choice but to sell their lives to the Federation... Ha, and they are still regular employees. If they can live to pay off the debt, it's a blessing for their ancestors."

"Uh..." Sun Hang wanted to ask something else, but the thin bamboo pole on the podium had already completed a simple self-introduction and started the formal content of the on-the-job training. He had to concentrate, fearing that he would miss some important information.

Every word this guy said might be related to his future life and death.

"I believe everyone here knows about weird things, but the Federation's classification regulations for weird things have never been made public to the public. The first thing I want to teach you is the classification, judgment and naming of weird things." The thin bamboo pole said.

"Except for a very small number of 'special weird things' with 'names', most weird things are called by code names. The code names are divided into two parts. The first part is the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, which are used to define the major categories of weird things. For example, the most difficult 'rule-based weird things' are classified as 'A'. In addition, the category B weird things are 'phenomenon-based', and the three categories of C, D, and E are all 'biological weird things', representing animals, plants, and microorganisms respectively..."

Shou Zhugan paused for a moment and continued: "Of course, the classification of weird things is not so precise. Some 'hybrid' types have been discovered in history, such as a kind of animal that merged with fungi. , this depends on the actual situation. Generally speaking, if the fungus part controls the behavior of the animal part, then it belongs to the category of "Type E weirdness"; if the fungus is just an appendage of the animal body, then it should be classified as "Type C weirdness". "

"There are also dead things. The classification of this kind of weirdness is more complicated, including tools, buildings, giants, environments... and the boundaries between different categories are sometimes vague, which requires experts to discuss and decide.

"As for the second half of the code, it is a very simple numerical sequence, representing the time sequence of the weirdness. Although this sequence does not represent strength, most of the top ten weirdnesses are not something that humans can easily provoke. As for the number zero weirdness, which is considered to be an "absolute taboo", it is also called the "original primary weirdness"... For example, the "Dingling Decayed Mother Tree" is the source of all plant weirdnesses."

"Is the number zero weirdness the strongest?" A temporary investigator who just joined the job couldn't help asking.

"The strength of the monster cannot be measured by quantifiable values. We can only give it a vague 'danger level' at most." Shouzhugan said, "The danger level of Monster Zero is 'highest'... Of course, you can rest assured. I can say that everyone here will never have any intersection with Monster Zero in their entire lives."

After saying this, Shouzhugan cleared his throat and said, "Okay, I've said everything I should say. Congratulations, everyone. You are now a qualified investigator."

Everyone was in an uproar.

Sun Hang couldn't help but frowned... How come this on-the-job training has just begun and it's over?

This is like a game. The novice tutorial just told the player that WASD is to move forward, backward, left and right, the right mouse button is to aim, and the left mouse button is to shoot, and then the player is thrown directly into a level of hell difficulty and said to the player: "You have fully mastered the skills of this game. Next, try to challenge the final BOSS of this game."

What a joke? !

The temporary investigator who had just asked the question immediately stood up and asked in disbelief: "Is this all the content of the on-the-job training?!"

Shou Zhugan nodded: "Yes, this is all the content of the on-the-job training. You know, strange things are a very special existence. When investigating them, experience is not only useless, but sometimes it can kill you and your teammates. So, whether it is a formal investigator or a temporary investigator, the on-the-job training process is like this."

"But we don't even know what we are going to do!"

"The specific mission objectives and necessary intelligence will be informed to you when you receive the corresponding mission, don't worry." Shou Zhugan replied.

"What about weapons training?"

"We will not issue weapons and weapon licenses to non-staff personnel. If you need firepower support during the investigation, the accompanying soldiers or sheriffs will provide it."

When temporary investigators perform tasks, they will be accompanied by soldiers or sheriffs - these people are both assisting them and monitoring them.
