i'm not a cyberpsychopath

Chapter 11 Identification
'The trial of the suit/guardian is to explore the heart, dig out the soul essence of the host, make the guardian and the host achieve a soul bond, and stimulate the potential of the host. '

'The formal dress/guardian will accompany the host into the deep inner world, directly touch the bottom of the soul, find the original long-cherished wish that the host craves, and confirm the root of the host's desire to protect. '

'Only by understanding what is most important in the soul of the host, can the suit/guardian conclude a contract with the host, and absorb the power of the host to protect the precious things, and realize the evolution of the guardian itself. '

Mr007 touched Li Pan's suit, and wrote in the memo,
'Your suit/guardian has been activated, but the trial does not appear to have been successful.I don't know what I saw in your soul world, the guardian was frightened.It is temporarily unable to conclude a contract with you, so it can exert its full strength. '

Li Pan also noticed that his formal suit can feel the temperature and is full of vitality, and when Mr007 touches it, the hair on the collar is blown up. Is it really frightened by his dream? ?After all, you have to put yourself in the shoes of a zombie, and he probably wouldn't be used to it if a zombie came up to touch his face...

Wait, did he overlook something?
Hmm... I can't remember, so don't worry about it, let's worry about my own affairs first.

"...So you mean, that dream reflects the inner world of 'my'?"

I feel mentally quite normal, right?It's obviously blue and has diarrhea, it doesn't seem so crazy, right?

'Do you want to try again?That also requires a silver key. '

Li Pan recalled the giant snake with his own face, and trembled a bit,
"Next time, take it easy."

In short, according to Mr007's explanation, that dream seems to be a portrayal of his soul, the black dog is the suit/guardian, and the snake symbolizes some kind of spiritual projection in Li Pan's heart, potential, desire, long-cherished wish, longing, etc. Symbolic meaning, that's why the snake head has his face...

But what the hell is the "Nine Yin Manual"...and why it can be taken out of the dream...why only he can see it...

Li Pan relied on the system to translate word by word on the Internet, and even spent money to open an ancient Chinese dictionary, so that he could translate the "Nine Yin Manual" into a version he could understand.

This seems to be some kind of qigong practice, just like the kind of martial arts cheats that often appear in novels.

Of course, this is the age of cyberpunk, and no one reads pure text novels these days.Everyone can easily choose their favorite world background and script to play in various virtual online games and Mewtwo movies, as long as they spend money, they can do anything.

According to Mr007, the guardian can help the host find the longing and cherished things in the heart, stimulate the guardian potential, and act as a channel to exert real power.

Could it be that deep down in his heart, he longs to become a martial arts master?Is there something wrong with Dunima practicing martial arts in the cyberpunk world...

In short, according to Li Pan's own speculation, it may be because he is an ancient time traveler in essence, so deep in his heart, the subconscious desire for power still appears in the form of martial arts cheats, expressing that he hopes to obtain a way to protect himself in this chaotic world. force.

So, maybe as long as he has practiced the "Nine Yin Scriptures", the suit/guardian can conclude the contract, right?
But it is very difficult. Li Pan has also carefully read the translation of "Nine Yin Scriptures". The various meridians, acupoints, breathing, and exercises in it are extremely complicated. An ancient Chinese dictionary is not enough. Li Pan Pan estimated that he would have to buy some ancient books and materials such as Dao Zang and study them again.

'The head office sent an appointment for a video conference. It is expected to hold a board meeting in the conference room in three days to hear your initial report. You should probably prepare in advance and do some stocktaking and annual business planning. '

Mr007 held a memo to suggest.

"Three days later? Oh, on the 14th... Fuck! Isn't that the day before the loan repayment is settled! Don't you want to fire me..."

Li Pan immediately became alert.

It seems that the matter of doing exercises has to be put aside first, and a PPT must be done first.

Li Pan preliminarily estimated that he had to go through the various in-stock and business operations of Monster Company first, and sort out the losses caused by the extinction of the previous generation of employees.

By the way, speaking of this...

"007, do you still remember why you... were 'deleted'?"

Mr007 wrote on the memo.

'All past records and memories have been erased. '

Well, that's right, 007 was able to survive purely because of a paper jam, and the other party was 'resurrected from the dead', so it probably didn't matter.

Then Mr007 wrote again.

' But from the memo, most containment breaches in the past have occurred in the Technology Department, so maybe you should start there. '

"Oh? Technical department?"

There are twelve doors in the living room at the front desk, which lead directly to the general manager's office, conference room, office area, personnel department, technology department, logistics department, business department, server room, blue area of ​​normal temperature warehouse, yellow area of ​​constant temperature warehouse, red area of ​​refrigerated warehouse, elevator.

In fact, from a plane view, the HR department, office area, and the general manager's office are all on the first floor, and only one door is fine.But maybe taking a shortcut from the corridor/dimension rift, and taking these two steps less is considered a kind of general manager benefit, who knows...

The names of these places are also quite obvious. The elevator is the only entrance to the outside world, and it will be offline from the public network when entering.

The three warehouse areas correspond to monsters with red, yellow and blue ratings respectively. They are temporary monster shelters before the numbered containment measures are ready. By the way, Mr007 lives in the cold storage warehouse now.

As for special-purpose places such as conference rooms and server rooms, only the general manager and authorized ministers have the right to enter.

The remaining personnel department, technology department, logistics department, and business department are the main departments under the company manager.

The HR department is responsible for recruiting newcomers and managing files. The company has five levels of salary from temporary workers, regular employees, cadres, ministers, and general managers.Temporary workers started for three years, until regular employees have the right to keep a monster with a yellow rating for a long time in addition to the salary improvement. Generally speaking, the first monster of a regular employee is a formal suit/guardian.

Regular employees will be promoted to cadres after successfully completing a certain number of tasks, and cadres are usually responsible for the management of one or even several numbered warehouses.All kinds of business in the company are completed by cadres, and cadres also have the authority to apply for monsters and arrange to call temporary workers.

Because Monster Company is often understaffed, and the mortality rate of temporary workers is relatively high during the internship period, the survivors are basically elites who can be directly promoted to cadres, so the cadres are good as regular workers, most of them are seconded in the four departments, and all kinds of tasks. I have to do everything.

When the positions of the general manager and the heads of the four departments are vacant, the cadres with the most experience, the most solid resume and the oldest age will take over.

In addition, relatively speaking, when a cadre is promoted to the position of the head of the four departments, because a considerable degree of authority will be granted, unlike the general manager who sometimes really picks passers-by, it needs strict assessment and approval by the board of directors.

In view of his experience and ability along the way, he naturally has a considerable degree of autonomy. At the same time, it may also be used by the head office to prevent the general manager from becoming bigger. These ministers can even report directly to the board of directors on a regular basis, and may Participate in joint operations across the heavens and planes.

However, considering the monster's own risks and troubles, it is not so much a check and balance of office politics as it is that the general manager really needs some effective helpers to take care of it. Otherwise, a major containment loss of world destruction may occur if one is not careful.

Now Li Pan is quite hopeful that the head office will quickly parachute a few ministers from different worlds to help him share the chores.Although Mr007 reminded from the side, if you don't understand, you can still call, but the problem is that Mr007 is now authorized as a temporary worker, and is identified as a red dead disciple, so he is not allowed to enter most places.And the phone sometimes asks three questions.So Li Pan had to wander around from office to office.

Among these four departments, the office areas of the HR department and the logistics department are relatively the safest, because although the logistics department is in charge of the monster's warehouse management in name, the monsters are actually numbered warehouses outside, and they are more for tax purposes. Bureau inspections, handle some normal transactions, and monitor the status of each warehouse.

On the contrary, the technical department, because it will be responsible for research and identification of some new monster characteristics, is prone to things like containment out of control.And the business department is responsible for field work, some employees will hide some weapons and props, and even borrow functional monsters such as 'pen/powerful expulsion' from the inventory for various purposes, which is also a part of security risks .

So Li Pan had to search departments one by one, offices one by one, and file bags one by one. After working all morning, he sorted out the office area, the personnel department, and the logistics department. It's early.

"This is too troublesome! Don't you have a prop to sweep the monster out with a beep!"

The landline says,
"Yes, I have."

Li Pan felt incredible, "Didn't you say it earlier?"

Landline, "You didn't ask."

Li Pan, "@#￥￥**&XX!"

Landline, "Don't curse."

The normal-temperature warehouse at the headquarters is a blue safe zone that is routinely identified as a blue safe zone. It keeps some standing office supplies, or monsters that have little power and can cause less damage to humans than pistols, or can be contained in the safe zone.

In addition, if some monsters have been around for a long time, the employees have sufficient corresponding means and simple and effective containment measures, or the functions are really useful and need to be borrowed frequently in daily business processes, if they are placed in the yellow zone , It was too troublesome to fill out the application procedures and use reports, so they were moved directly. In short, it was the same reason.

So Li Pan quarreled with the landline, and after asking about the route, he went directly from the lobby to the room temperature warehouse, entered through the corridor at the door, and went directly to an elevator with blue lights.

There are eight floor number buttons in the elevator, the bottom one is the front desk parlor F0, and the other seven floors are from F43 to F49.

It seems that it was compiled along the 42 external warehouses, and it is similar to the warehouses. Even the monsters identified by blue are kept separately on each floor.

Li Pan came to F48 and came out of the elevator. The whole floor was an empty white office area. There was a desk far away. On the desk was a thick notebook and a landline.

Li Pan stepped forward and opened the notebook to sign. He could clearly see many signatures, which were obviously employees who had been deleted before, and they had time to borrow and return F48.Although he could see the date record, he couldn't recognize the name, as if seeing a foreign language he didn't know, and his brain couldn't process the information.

Li Pan didn't pay much attention. After filling in the information, the landline rang.

"The application has been accepted."

So Li Pan opened the drawer, and there was a pocket watch and an electronic watch in the drawer.

The pocket watch is a retro mechanical watch with a brass case and a chain.And the electronic watch is the electronic square of the rubber strap, both of which are antiques even in the 21st century.

Of course, this is not the story of the river god asking the boy, did you drop this piece of Kabio, or this piece of Peibihai.

Li Pan held the phone around his neck, put the electronic watch on his wrist, and started timing while holding the pocket watch in his hand.

"Pocket watch/identification,

Identification, yellow, controllable.

Pocket watch/identification, which can identify monsters in the area.

After taking out the pocket watch/appraisal, the pocket watch/appraisal starts counting.

When there is a monster within the perception range of the pocket watch/appraisal, the pointer will speed up.

The closer the distance, the faster the pointer travels.

The more monsters there are, the faster the pointer goes.

The higher the monster risk, the faster the pointer goes.

When the minute hand also starts to move at a speed visible to the naked eye, it can basically be determined that the monster is red.

Note that the pocket watch/appraisal will age faster, and the upper limit of the user's corresponding life will be deducted at the same time as the travel time, which cannot be reset. "

Li Pan took a look at the pocket watch, the second hand was ticking, which was obviously much faster than the countdown of the electronic watch.That's normal, he's wearing a 'suit/guardian' after all.

Does it matter if you deduct your life limit? If you really want to worry about this, cheap food additives will deduct your "life limit" just like preservatives. A stray bullet flying by the side of the road can directly deduct your life limit.

So he hung the 'pocket watch/appraisal' on the suit, and Li Pan took the elevator to the business department first and went around.

The business department is relatively large, with three floors above and below. In addition to the office cubicles one after another, there are also private offices specially allocated for cadres, as well as personal containers for storing personal belongings, guns, ammunition, and equipment.So every time you open the door, you have to be mentally prepared that there is an out-of-control monster on the other side of the door.

But with these two watches, Li Pan did not have to rush the door like the CQB assault team. He took the blue, yellow and red three-color stickers, stood at the door of each office for 1 minute, and then pasted the stickers of the corresponding colors.

After all, he doesn't even have a gun in his hand now, so he can't clean it up at all, and even if it's a blue room, maybe the staff pays special attention to personal privacy, and it's not necessarily true that a grenade is tied to the doorknob...

In this way, the business department was sorted out quickly, and about six yellow monsters were found, and they were numbered and recorded in turn.

In the end, the technical department is basically left.

The technical department is indeed a bit troublesome, because it is responsible for the application development of monsters. In addition to the research on monsters, there are also various technical materials, as well as various experimental equipment for simulating extreme environments and clones of experimental subjects.

Well, yes, there is information in the computer of the general manager, monster companies illegally cultivate clones for monster testing, in fact, most companies are illegally using clone targets, these cloned human bodies are all genetically coordinated, and injected with growth hormone , from birth to adulthood to death is only three to five days, it is really a piece of meat.

However, the Science Ethics Committee naturally expressly prohibits this kind of behavior, and the companies that are found will be heavily fined by the tax bureau. Of course, it is difficult to say whether the above-mentioned legislation is aimed at ethics or for fines.

In fact, Li Pan thinks it is difficult to define whether human cloning is an "ethical evil". After all, when studying monsters, you don't have to clone people and use temporary workers. Anyway, you have to choose one.

What?guinea pig?
Considering that the biological license for experimental use needs to be photographed, the qualification certification for quarantine inspection needs to be renewed, and the biological use of medicine is monopolized, it is actually cheaper to work as a temporary worker.
