Chapter 2 Temporary Investigator
"You have no other choice." The other party did not shy away from this.
Just as she said, Sun Hang had no other choice. He managed to sit up, took the tablet, and glanced at the files on the screen.
The letterhead of the document reads "Temporary Investigator Employment Contract."
Sun Hang's name has already been filled in the column for Party B. As for Party A, it is a company called "Junshi Human Resources Company".
"Labor dispatch company? So... I'm just an outsourced temporary worker?" Sun Hang asked.
"Investigators are employees with a formal establishment. If you pay off your debts and obtain citizenship, you can take the relevant selection examinations." The other party said, "But now, you can only serve as a temporary investigator to investigate. Bureau work.”
"..." Sun Hang fell into silence.
Although he has lost his memory, he still knows what kind of work the investigator does.
More than two hundred years ago...or maybe three hundred years ago, something called a "weird thing" appeared on the Xiazhou continent without warning. They were like an unstoppable disaster, swallowing up everything. The large amount of living space for human beings has compressed the human activity area to about one-third of what it was before the appearance of strange things.
Not only that, this ratio is shrinking every year - now, less than 20% of the Xiazhou Continent is still in human hands.
Although strange things are called "things", they do not have a fixed form - they may be living things, they may be "dead things", or they may even be a "phenomenon"... But no matter which Kind of, for ordinary people, strange things are extremely dangerous.
In addition, "weird objects" also have the ability to infect things they come into contact with. People call this ability "the devious virus." Most people who are infected with this "virus" will eventually become deformed. Become a "weird thing"...or, part of a "weird thing".
Before the emergence of special medicines to suppress "trickery", this "virus" once raged like a plague in the world, and many people died as a result.
Investigators, as the name suggests, are people who specialize in investigating these strange things.
It's easy to imagine how dangerous this job is.
Sun Hang felt that the person who signed this "deed of sale" would most likely not be able to repay the money he owed until his death.
But for the Bureau of Investigation, this is enough... After all, if a formal investigator dies in the line of duty, the Bureau of Investigation will have to pay a huge pension. In comparison, temporary workers like myself are more cost-effective. Much more.
"If I don't want to do this, what will you do to me?" Sun Hang asked, "Kick me out of the hospital, or in other words, kick me out of the city?"
"No, you can't be free until you pay off your debt." The other party took out another capacitive pen and handed it over, "The only thing you can choose now is what font to use when signing."< br>
Sun Hang took the capacitive pen and thought for a moment.
Judging from the "remaining" knowledge in his brain, he should have been just an ordinary person before amnesia.
As an ordinary person, he knows about the existence of "weird objects" and "investigators", but he knows very little about the more detailed content - in this era, almost anything related to weird objects can be considered taboo. Except for a few people with special interests, few people will take the initiative to learn about this topic.
Most people just hope that these things are as far away from themselves as possible, and it is best not to have any intersection with them in their lives.
"If I become a temporary investigator, what will you provide me? Such as information, equipment or training." Sun Hang looked up at the other party and asked, "Even if the temporary investigator is just cannon fodder to die, at least he must It’s important to show some value, and you can’t let taxpayers’ money go to waste, right?”
"I'll have everything you said." The other party nodded and glanced at his watch, "It's getting late, so hurry up and sign."
Sun Hang took a long breath and signed his name at the end of the contract.
The woman in a black suit put away the tablet, took out two documents from her pocket, and threw them to Sun Hang.
One of them is the temporary citizen ID card of the Xiazhou Federation. Sun Hang's photo has been affixed and his name has been printed, but other than these two, all other information, including gender, is blank.
Sun Hang glanced at the issuing unit of the certificate, which was the Population Administration Bureau of Tianfu City. "So I'm in Tianfu City now..." Sun Hang thought to himself.
Tianfu City is located in the southwest of the Xiazhou Federation, close to the border of human activity areas, and is a standard "frontline area."
The other certificate is a "Temporary Investigator Certificate" issued by the "Tianfu City Anomaly Investigation Bureau". Sun Hang's photo is also posted on it, but Sun Hang's name is not written on it. Instead, it says "Temporary Investigator Certificate" 0420" number.
"Your codename will be 0420 from now on." The woman in a black suit said, "Investigators are all called by their numbers."
"What about your number?" Sun Hang glanced at her and asked.
"I'm not an investigator." She stood up and dropped the last sentence, "You will be discharged from the hospital in three days, and someone will pick you up then."
The woman in the black suit left, and Sun Hang stared at the ID in his hand, lost in thought.
This is a life-threatening job, and the mortality rate is much higher than those extreme athletes who jump left and right in front of the gate of death every day.
It's not that he hasn't thought about escaping... But the problem is that he has nothing now and has lost the memory of his past. In this unfamiliar place, even if he can successfully escape from the hospital, he has nowhere to go.
Although the laws of each city-state in the Xiazhou Federation are different, as a special department for dealing with "weird things", the investigation bureaus in each city basically have very high authority. They can even call in the army at will... To oppose the investigation bureau is equivalent to committing suicide. Seeking death.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
That woman was right, she really had no other choice.
According to the contract, Sun Hang needs to complete one C-level task, four D-level tasks, or sixteen E-level tasks to pay off all debts. However, what kind of difficulty and danger do these ABCD task classifications represent? , but Sun Hang knew nothing.
He reached out and pressed the bedside pager.
After a while, the female nurse in pink uniform walked into the ward.
"Ms. Nurse, can you do me a favor?" Sun Hang asked.
"Please tell me." I have to say that the nurse's attitude was much better than that of the indifferent staff just now.
"Can you lend me a device that can access the Internet? It can be a mobile phone or a tablet. I want to check something." Sun Hang said.
The nurse did not agree immediately, and there was a look of embarrassment on her face.
"...Don't I even have permission to access the Internet?" Sun Hang frowned slightly.
"Mr. Sun, you just woke up from a coma. It would be better to rest more during this period..." The female nurse said with a hint of apology and embarrassment in her tone, "Besides, if it is not necessary, please Try not to leave this ward.”
"Okay." Sun Hang nodded and lay back.
This is not only a ward, but also a prison cell.
Sun Hang pillowed on a pillow that smelled faintly of disinfectant, stared straight at the ceiling lamp on the ceiling, and silently said in his heart: "...change it for me."
Nothing happened.
The light was still pale, and the unbearable tingling deep in his brain did not appear.
"Is... really just a coincidence?"
