death of hope

Chapter 929: Psionic Storm (7) Security Director

"Ding-ling", the elevator door slowly opened.

"We have arrived at the B13 floor~" Higashiyama Ruriko said in her signature cute clip voice:
"I wish you good luck in your new position, Manager Li Ang~"

"Thank you, beautiful lady~"

"If you need to take the elevator, please let me know at any time~"

"Yeah, okay, thanks." Li Ang's reply was a little cold.

On Toyama Ruriko's delicate little face, there was a hypocritical professional smile:
"Well, see you later~"

She pressed the elevator door open button with her slender fingers, watching the other person's back gradually disappearing, and thought:

(Leon Vilnius…interesting guy.)
Higashiyama Ruriko is used to the feeling of being flattered by men. Some of her colleagues even deliberately block the elevator door when they reach the floor, shamelessly ask for her phone number and social account as an elevator attendant, send her small gifts, and invite her to dates.

And Leon Vilnius, the homeless man "picked up" by the doctor, seemed to have no interest in her at all. He didn't even want to take a second look at her cute little face or graceful figure.

(Hmm... maybe... he has different hobbies and likes men? Or maybe... there is some other reason?
This guy's promotion speed was like riding a rocket. It only took him a few months to go from a homeless person to a high-paid middle-level manager.

There must be some special reason why Dr. Joseph has such high regard for him. We need to investigate it carefully.)
Li Ang felt the gaze piercing his back. He quickened his pace and walked straight into the deep tunnel without looking back.

The design language of the underground part of the institute is full of retro cyberpunk style;
Cool-toned wall paint and tiles, clean and simple lines, and LED ring lights made up of different geometric shapes illuminate the way ahead for him.

The holographic projection is playing short videos of cute cats, dogs, hamsters and other adorable pets in a loop, and the stereo speakers are playing light-hearted and humorous jazz music.

These measures are aimed at alleviating the pressure on employees.
Working in a closed underground environment for a long time can easily lead to depression. However, these decompression measures do not seem to be very effective.

Just last week, an intern in the 12th development team who was about to be promoted to a full-time employee could not stand the dark and depressing atmosphere of the institute and committed suicide by taking poison at his workstation.

As the institute's work became increasingly busy, similar tragedies were occurring more frequently, and the institute's employees became somewhat worried and began to purchase additional commercial insurance for themselves.

Leon Vilnius has never worried about this. He loves this hard-earned job and he likes this underground maze full of technology.

He wanted to repay Dr. Joseph's kindness by working hard, so he rolled up his sleeves and worked hard to make a name for himself. His wish was to return home in glory: to the noble family that exiled him.

Let those sarcastic relatives who look down on him as an illegitimate child see how good he is, and prove that he can become a senior executive in a large company without relying on others.

Prove yourself worthy of the ancient and noble name of 'Vilnius'.

Whenever he thought of this, the grievances he had suffered over the years came to his mind, and Leon Vilnius's nose would turn sour and his eyes would turn red.

A colleague on the other side greeted him. He tried to control his emotions and recalled what the old housekeeper had said to him:
"The first lesson for a boy from an aristocratic family is not to let others see your tears."

It's rush hour in the morning.

Hundreds of employees and Ai-controlled electric load-carrying carts travel through the intricate spider-web-like passages.
Li Ang, who has a warm heart, gets along well with most of his colleagues. Many people take the initiative to greet him and congratulate him on his promotion and salary increase.

After passing through the long and narrow passage and arriving at the core area of ​​the B13 floor, the environment changed from noisy to quiet. No one was gossiping or telling jokes anymore.

The people working here are the elites of the research institute.
A group of unkempt geeks wearing high-power myopia glasses and white coats,

Most of them are graduate students trained by Dr. Joseph, and like their mentor, they are obsessed with exploring the limits of psychic science.

·
The security department where Li Ang works is the department that assists these people. It is responsible for protecting the company's property and ensuring the safety and smoothness of each project team's research and experiments.

Many people in the institute jokingly call the position of "Security Director" the "Warden".
Because the most important responsibility of the security director is to ensure that those rare, precious, and extremely dangerous psychic talents stay in the cage.

Supervise their accommodation, daily life, isolation and transfer throughout the process.

Even children know how dangerous an out-of-control psychic gifted person is. If something goes wrong during detention or transfer, tragedy can result.

The company's top management concealed the truth, and none of the previous security directors of the Psychic Energy Research Institute ended up with an intact body.

This is a high-risk, high-reward job that is extremely challenging.

For Leon Vilnius, this is a great opportunity for him to prove himself and turn his life around.
