Enforcer's Handbook

Regarding the last question, Song Lan remained silent.

"Nothingness" also tacitly did not continue to pursue the question, and the two of them knew the basics, and silence represented the answer.

"There is a chance to come to the 'outside'."

Before leaving, "Nothingness" added another sentence, "Those mechanical lumps don't like me staying in their territory for too long. When you come to the 'outside', let's talk about the past. A lot has happened there in recent years. Things, now that I think about it, that person called 'Mouse' was created by your brat, right?"

If you want to say that the person in the "outside" who has been in the limelight recently is none other than "mouse".

After escaping from the Seventeenth District, "Mouse"'s status in the Eichenwig Army has soared, and he can be found in almost every major incident. Now in the Eichenwege Army, he has become a The second in command in the eyes.

Out of curiosity, "Nothingness" also went to join in the fun when the rebels gathered.

The result can only be described as disappointment. He saw through the essence of "rat" at a glance. The only thing worthy of praise is his way of handling things from both sides. Playing the role of a peacemaker, his identity is more like a civil servant who has no power to restrain a chicken.

He really couldn't understand how those people passed on "rat" as a peerless powerhouse.

But after meeting Song Lan, "Void" really realized the unusualness of "Mouse".

Although he himself looks like an ordinary little character, once he gets into trouble, fate will be on his side.

Unparalleled luck can also be counted as a kind of strength, and this is also very in line with Song Lan's behavior style. The champions of those cricket fighting competitions in the past all faded out of the sight of the church and the upper world in ways that made them unimaginable.

Facing the question of "Nothingness", Song Lan nodded.

At least from the current point of view, "Mouse" is a very good financial product. In less than a year, he has transformed himself from a small character with a reward of less than a million watts to a wanted man with a reward of tens of millions. The criminal, based on his experience in the seventeenth district for so long, now only needs a "rat" arrest warrant, which can play the role of stopping children in the seventeenth district.

In other words, he could at least be regarded as a ruthless character at the "Qiwuhai" level.

Of course, in Song Lan's eyes, everyone's good friend "Mr. Mouse" is equivalent to a high-end real estate in the bustling area of ​​the Seventeenth District.

The rate of increase in their salaries could not keep up with the housing prices in District 17. Fortunately, the "mouse" he invested in was very powerful, and the rate of increase in bounties far left the housing prices behind.

Another advantage of investing is that if they go to the "outside" in the future, the "rat" should be able to entertain them as a landlord.

"In this case, you should have heard a lot about the rebels."

"I heard that they had a lot of trouble some time ago."

Before the prison fell and the prisoners escaped, the rebel army was the number one enemy of the coalition government. They once used many border cities, including District 17, as the front line of the war.

With the emergence of the Gene Lord, the council was overwhelmed with self-care, and the threats of the border cities and the "outside" were put aside.

"The most fundamental reason is that they believe that the Rebels have mastered the way to train psychics."

"Nothingness" has heard a lot about the approach of the coalition government. The denunciation and rewards against the rebels were actually formed as early as the end of the gold rush. It represents the attitude of the coalition government.

If the rebel army does not take the initiative to provoke a war, they are unwilling to invest a lot of manpower and material resources to deal with "outside" disputes. Instead, they hope to guide the rebel army to fight each other with neutral countries or warlords by offering rewards until Essien The appearance of the leader of the rebel army represented by Vig gradually changed the opinion of the council towards the rebel army.

For many years, the coalition government has been researching ways to stimulate the potential of psychics, and they have invested a lot of resources for this, but the returns they get are far inferior to those of the "naturally awakened" psychics from the "outside".

Therefore, the council planned to repeat the old tricks, taking these potential psychic resources as its own on the grounds of justice.

"But you should know that after you burn down the house, unless a new bridge is built, there will be no more 'naturally awakened' psionic users."

"Nothingness" declared, "Their 'Natural Awakening' has nothing to do with me, that's why I asked you just now... Besides you and me, there must be other people left behind, as far as I know, those deformed monsters Seems interested in the source of power for the leaders of the Resistance."

"It turns out that you are here to rescue soldiers."

"Many people are powerful, this is your theory."

"Nothingness" answered like a stream.

When he was still in the upper world, this guy was the one who was the best at rescuing soldiers. It was obviously just some trivial things, so he wanted to call everyone over.

When everyone was busy making a mess, this guy started to be blatantly lazy.

"When it comes to dispatching people, you are the most professional."

You always have to pay it back when you come out to mess around, and the "Nullness" who suffered from it in the past has also learned the essence. Before Song Lan used the aggressive method, he said first, "Just because I came to you doesn't mean I'm afraid of those deformed monsters." , using your theory, as long as each of us contributes 50% of the effort, then everyone can easily complete the task, and don’t forget, you burned my house.”

For a moment, Song Lan was speechless.

"Nothingness" is one of the most difficult opponents he has ever encountered, even more difficult than Lu Xiang.

After all, Lao Lu often uses the method of soft grinding and hard foaming, which can only be obtained through getting along day and night, while "Nothingness" has fully studied his theory and used "Moving Fish Theory" to defeat him.

If you reject "nothingness", it is tantamount to overthrowing your own "fishing theory".

For the founder of Moyu School, Song Lan must not let this happen.

"I see."

"Then, let's meet in the 'outside'."

After all, the blurry figure in the tunnel dissipated.

When the environment returned to silence, Song Lan's mood was unprecedentedly solemn, because he realized a greater threat than the gene master - someone stole his "fishing theory" and used it as a weapon against himself.

it seems...

I have to take some time to complete "Moyu Theory 2167 Anniversary Reedited Edition".

First, he must prevent his theory from ending up as a boomerang stuck in his head.

When we returned to the temporary camp in front of the ruins of the Eden Hotel, it was completely dark outside. After half a day of search and rescue work, the exhausted people set up simple tents. Some optimistic people joked that the current The fourth district really looks like an apocalyptic movie.

The material team headed by Zhuang Chi rescued some ingredients and condiments from the ruins of the Eden Hotel.

When they brought the rescued ingredients, seasonings and utensils to Song Lan, Veronica looked expectantly.

During the time spent with Zhuang Chi and others, she heard several people praise her section chief's skills more than once, and even Roger, who has always been taciturn, would give high praise from time to time. They agreed that even the chefs of those high-end restaurants It may not be as good as their section chief.

Among them, Zhuang Chi even confessed that she insisted on being transferred to the propaganda department at the beginning, just because she had the idea of ​​"getting closer to the water first".

Veronica didn't have much interest in cooking. In the past, when she went to high-end restaurants in the first district, it was entirely out of family social needs. Deep in her heart, she was very disgusted with such occasions. With a hypocritical smile, he said the same thing on his mouth, but he didn't know what he was planning behind his back.

But parents think it is an essential experience.

From now on, when she enters the political arena, she will inevitably deal with those people every day, and the ones who will be dealt with will always be those who cannot hide their good emotions and whose thoughts are seen through.

When there is no task assigned by her parents, Veronica uses nutritional injections all the time.

She felt that on that occasion, no matter how delicious the dishes were, they couldn't taste the taste.

Until, Veronica heard about Mr. Rob Lucci’s deeds in the second district. According to a maid of the Iris Consortium, Lu Qi was disguised as a chef from a neutral country and lurked into the Iris Consortium. Castle—Mr. Lu Qi's craftsmanship is genuine, and until now their head maid still misses the hot pot noodles he made.

It was also from then on that Veronica began to observe these "side jobs" that she had neglected.

A master of intelligence, he can always perfectly integrate himself into the surrounding environment. According to the needs of the mission, they can become bartenders, chefs, doctors, and law enforcement officers at any time.

This is the part she has always been lacking.

Elite education also limits their vision, keeping them in their own small circle forever, thus ignoring the outside world.

This is also what is often said to be the biggest difference between the counterintelligence department and MI7.

The agents of MI7 often need to go deep into various places. If their disguise is seen through, all that awaits them is the fate of death, while the elites of the counterintelligence department usually only need to stay in the office , through the coalition government's cutting-edge technology, to deal with intelligence issues.

Veronica calmed down, moved a chair, and sat beside Song Lan, observing the cooking ingredients of what her friends called a "master chef".

Seeing the brilliance refracted by the blade under the moonlight, she was fascinated for a moment.

Inexplicable emotions welled up in Veronica's mind.

This was the first time she met Song Lan formally, but she felt a vague sense of familiarity. She couldn't help but recalled Valian's exclamation one day. Valian felt that their section chief would definitely be able to talk to Teacher Lu Qi. Come.

He has an easy-going personality and always rides his bicycle to work.

And now, they have one more thing in common: proficiency in cooking.

The only difference is that their section chief is not good at fighting. In the past, when he encountered gangsters on the streets of the 17th district, he never stepped forward. Instead, he called the police and called his colleagues from the special operations team to the scene. Section Chief Ri always warns them to learn to assess the situation and not to be impulsive when facing danger.

Valenne testified that once after she was kidnapped, she was shot in the back of the head by her behavior as a leader, and she was sent to the hospital to lie down for several days before recovering.

Um?

A wonderful idea came to me.

Veronica narrowed her eyes, and her eyes suddenly became sharp.

Mr. Lu Qi is a master of disguise, he can always perfectly blend into the lives of ordinary people... Then, is it possible that this section chief of the Propaganda Section of the Law Enforcement Department of District 17 is also one of his many disguises? one?

When she thought about it along this line of thought, she was surprised to find that Teacher Lu Qi and Song Lan had never appeared at the same time!

Today, when they asked Director Guan about the whereabouts of Mr. Lu Qi, the director said that since "Master of Rescuers" had come to a standstill, Mr. Lu Qi had already returned to the first district. He was on business and had no time to say goodbye to them.

But after that, the section chief appeared!

The more Veronica observed carefully, the more clues she could see—Song Lan seemed a little absent-minded throughout the night.

But this also shows his superb knife skills from another angle. Even if his eyes and attention are not on the cutting board, he can cut the ingredients into crystal clear filaments. For him, it seems to have become a muscle memory. Perhaps only through hard work can such a technique be developed.

So,

Teacher Lu Qi, how did he hone the skills that can make the head maid of the Iris Foundation never forget?

Veronica heard commotion not far away.

People from the Abnormal Case Investigation Bureau came, and she found a familiar figure in the crowd.

According to Zhuang Chi, their section chief and supervisor are lovers. For this reason, they also published a journal called "Love Story of the Law Enforcement Department", which is very popular in the 17th district.

The answer to the question seems to be on the horizon.

The secret to being the best chef you can be is meeting a woman to whom you can wholeheartedly dedicate your entire cooking.

Perhaps, this is the practice of Teacher Lu Qi.

Thinking of this, Veronica suddenly had a feeling of seeing the sun beyond the clouds.

"Zhuangchi."

She made a decision in her heart, "What are the recruitment criteria for your law enforcement department?"

She knew that if she wanted to realize this decision, she would face many obstacles.

First of all, she must avoid being sent to a mental health center when she tells her parents the news of "going to a border city to become a grassroots law enforcement officer".

This trip to the fourth district made her grow a lot, and made her realize that there is a vast world waiting for her to explore outside the first district.

While talking, Veronica saw Lu Xiang walking towards them.

She also saw that Song Lan's eyes, who had been absent all night, suddenly brightened.

Veronica didn't put forward her own conjecture, she just witnessed all this coming from the sidelines.

until……

She noticed that Song Lan's eyes became a little strange, and the surrounding atmosphere suddenly became suspenseful for some reason.

She saw Song Lan lower her head, looking at the ingredients that had been picked up on the table, especially the crystal clear potato shreds, which were displayed in the most conspicuous position like a work of art.

Veronica heard that Director Lu's favorite food is potatoes, so Song Lan usually brings some snacks made of potatoes to Corey.

But now, Song Lan was not happy because he had completed the preparations. On the contrary, he looked solemn.

Cold sweat oozed from his forehead.

He had to ask the people around him for help, and raised the doubts that were shrouded in his heart.

After wandering around the simple stove, his eyes finally stopped on the shredded potatoes that were shining brightly.

"Where's ginger? Why is ginger missing?"

Little Theater its two hundred and forty-eight:

On a certain day of a certain year, Friday, early morning

After Lu Xiang spoke, the small conference room of the seminar was suddenly silent.

In the end, it was Hannah who broke the deadlock and asked, "Lao Lu, let me make sure first, did Lao Song say something to you?"

"No, I'm thinking about my image."

In fact, Lu Xiang doesn't think her usual style of behavior is so cruel. She really doesn't know where the word "cold-blooded and cruel tyrant" comes from.

She doesn't like this style, because "Daily Love Tips" said that gentle and cute girls are more popular recently.

In this era of indifference, tenderness and loveliness have long become extremely rare qualities.

Lu Xiang also searched the Internet for keywords such as "cute girls". After a whole day of research, she felt that she was actually quite cute.

At least sometimes it's cute.

"Cute thing, scoring occasions, especially you."

After thinking twice, Hannah made a suggestion, "After all, you don't usually follow this style."

"Then what's my usual style?"

"Aloofness is almost an antonym of cuteness, so if you want to take the initiative to attack Lao Song, you must find a suitable time."

"What time?"

"Well... For example, if your opinions differ, you can solve the problem by acting like a baby."

"I see."

Lu Xiang was thoughtful, she had used this method of acting like a baby more than once.

"You knew already?"

"Um."

She nodded, "I just said that I'm usually quite cute."
