Life as a mercenary turned into a girl is a bit difficult

"It's very simple. You can still be active as a mercenary, but actually work for me secretly, accept the tasks assigned by me, and follow my arrangements."

"Let me refuse."

Hiiragi Jing refused Han Nianling's employment without hesitation. The conditions were even harsher than those of a private employee, which Hiiragi Jing, who was used to being unrestrained, couldn't bear.

"That's it... that's really a pity." Han Nianling's rejection did not surprise Han Nianling. It would be better to say that it was all within her expectation. A smile appeared at the corner of Han Nianling's mouth, which made her Hiiragi suddenly felt uneasy in her heart.

"Then let's talk about expenses."

"Fee... fee?"

"Of course it's the medical expenses. I spent a lot of money to treat your contamination. Do you think the institute's most advanced medical methods are cheap? Not only that, but everything you paid for while you were lying in this independent care room was I paid for it in advance. This is not a health center, but a medical department under the institute. Under normal circumstances, it will never be open to outsiders."

"If it is someone else, you still need high-level crystal cores or other high-value things to pay. For your sake, I will make an exception and collect circulation coupons." Han Nianling looked like he had suffered a big loss and counted with his hands, " Let’s do this, let’s count your 95 circulation coupons, and since we are familiar with each other, we will exempt you from 90. You only need to pay [-], and you are allowed to pay in installments.”

The other party didn't look like he was joking. Such an offer almost made Hiiragi unsteady. 90 circulation coupons was an astronomical figure that she had never thought of in her life. The purchasing power of circulation coupons was quite good, and one for an average family in Newborn City. The monthly expenses are less than one hundred circulating coupons.

"you……"

"Don't be surprised. This does not include the rental cost of the detection collar and the subsequent medical expenses for the recurrence of your body's pollution index. My quotation is already very restrained. If there is anything you don't understand, you can contact the judicial department of the Newborn City Base Government. Department looking for help.”

Let's not talk about whether Han Nianling's offer is reasonable. A mercenary or a senior researcher, the Ministry of Justice can think about who the Ministry of Justice is partial to.

"Okay..." Hiei Jing squeezed out her answer through gritted teeth, "I don't need your exemption fee, 95, give me time, I will repay the fee."

Isn’t it just 95 circulating coupons?As long as she continues to accept commissions as a mercenary, there is always hope of repayment. More importantly, she is absolutely unwilling to see the other party's conspiracy succeed, so she must persevere even if it is just for pity.

"Well, that's really a pity..." Han Nianling waved her hands as if giving up, but the smile on her face did not diminish at all, "Now that the issue of medical expenses is over, let's talk about the next thing. Don’t worry, this is the last thing.”

Under Hierarchy Jing's glare, Han Nianling slowly said: "The archives show that you are an orphan who came to Newborn City with the refugees three years ago. You are only 15 years old, and you are still a minor under the regulations of Newborn City. According to the regulations of the Newborn City, a legal resident of the Newborn City must be designated as a guardian."

"Your guardian is listed as Shang Shu, but she took advantage of her position at the Special Business Processing Center to register you as a minor as a mercenary."

"Although there is no clear age limit for registering as a mercenary, this obviously does not comply with the government's relevant regulations on minors. Once discovered, it cannot be ignored. Therefore, the base government has reason to ban the 'custodial relationship' between Shang Shu and you. Reassign a guardian and cancel your mercenary qualifications..."

Han Nianling sat down on the bed calmly, with her beautiful face and warm smile, all of which seemed so disgusting to Hieragi Jing.

"I just wrote a report and custody application not long ago. I would like to hear your thoughts before sending it out."

Chapter 67 Han Nianling’s arrangements

It seems that I have completely led a villain...

Looking at the signature on the employment contract in his hand, Han Nianling's smile on the corner of his mouth showed a hint of helplessness. The two crooked words "Hiiragi Jing" almost penetrated the back of the paper, and even the wooden folder underneath the paper. There were obvious marks left on her body. From this alone, it was not difficult to see how deep her resentment towards herself was.

Her act of threatening Shang Shu really offended the other party. That Shang Shu must be a very important person to her. Such a dependence relationship is quite rare in the wasteland world.

But this was the quickest way to make Hiiragi make up his mind. There might be other gentler and more acceptable methods, but she had no time to delay any longer.

It was difficult for this young girl who was taken out of the crater area by her and arranged for treatment by herself without attracting the attention of other eyes.

Now everyone's energy is still involved in the aftermath of the war, and they must take advantage of this period to make all preparations as quickly and hard as possible to dispel other people's doubts.

Faking the hospital's physical examination results was only the first step. Next, she needed to completely modify Hiiragi's personal file registered in the Newborn City database, especially when changing the gender column.

Once an interested person discovers the flaw in Hiiragi's gender and follows the clues to discover Hiiragi's secret, she and even the people around her may be in danger.

Fortunately, Hiiragi is a refugee who entered the city three years ago and is not a native of Newborn City. There is a large blank space in the personal file, so it is not too troublesome to modify it. In addition, Hiiragi's narrow social circle almost only includes Shang. Shu Yiren has not left many traces of her life in the past three years.

'Registration error' plus a note of 'Gender cognitive impairment due to excessive fright' are used as cover. As long as the modification is done properly, even if someone suspects it, it will be difficult to come up with conclusive evidence.

Since she couldn't let go of her job as a mercenary, then she would go along with the situation and help her slightly change her grade and age...

However, these ideas can only remain in her mind. After all, she is only a senior researcher at a research institute, and her involvement in the base's government affairs is very limited. If she wants to obtain the administrator rights of the resident database, she can only start from other aspects.

And even if the issue of Hiiragi's identity is solved, the trouble caused by Hiiragi is still far from over.

When Han Nianling thought of the black mire that almost occupied the entire crater, Han Nianling couldn't help but feel scared. What kind of existence was that?No matter how much I want to explore in my heart, I can't find it right now.

Han Nianling checked Hiiragi Jing's body from the inside out but could not find any similar material presence on her body.

In addition to the incredibly low pollution level, Hiiragi's various data showed that she was just an ordinary human girl, and there was absolutely no basis for her previous battles with witches.

It seemed that everything Han Nianling witnessed was an illusion that did not exist, but this was obviously impossible.

There were no samples to study, but the fear that originated from her heart left her without any doubt of the danger.

Every time she thought of that scene that she would never forget, she began to strongly question whether her choice to save Hiiragi was the right one.

Even if she has been bound to her with the employment contract of 'Personal Operator', will I, an ordinary person, be able to control a future full of variables? Will it be worse if I really hand her over to the base government for shelter? good?

Hiiragi's body is full of dangerous mysteries, and they are no longer limited to the 'mysterious dream' she said.

It no longer mattered whether her identity was a human, a witch, or something else. She only knew that the danger in Hiiragi Jing could completely detonate in this newborn city at any time before it was completely confirmed.

Even if these are not Hiiragi's original intentions, if his own detection collar does not work, it will lead to catastrophic consequences.

As the only insider so far, she could be said to have personally planted this 'time bomb' in the Newborn City. The huge mental pressure made the back of her head hurt, but she had already made a choice, so There was only one way until it was dark.

"Ha, I'm just... bringing it upon myself."

As for the truth... I'd better wait until I investigate clearly and tell her when the time and conditions are right, but...

After returning to her senses and looking at the ghost-drawing talisman left by Hiei Jing a few times, Han Nianling couldn't help but murmured to herself: "This word is really... Why don't you find a teacher to teach her well."

……

The Medical Department of the Newborn City Research Institute is located in District [-] of the inner city of Newborn City. As the name suggests, it is a subordinate institution of the research institute.

Although it has the prefix of 'research institute', its existence is actually not mysterious. It is a semi-open medical institution for the private sector.

The positions are the same as those of the Health Medical Center. In contrast, the medical resources and technical means it has are better. There are even many high-level researchers in the biology department who have medical positions here, and here they can also provide medical services. The researcher provides relevant experimental conditions.

However, although it is for the public, the high medical costs are destined to serve not only ordinary residents of the newborn city, but more important government personnel and wealthy people.

I never thought that I would live here one day...

No matter from the beginning to the end of the operation, Hiei Jing is grateful for Han Nianling's various help. Even if Han Nianling does not intend to mention Hiei Jing, he will choose to use his own ability to repay the other party as much as possible. The 95 The debt can be regarded as saving his life. Thinking about it carefully, it doesn't seem that wrong.

However, the other party's behavior of using Shang Shu as a threat has touched her bottom line. She regards Shang Shu as her last shelter in the world. Away from the cruelty of the wasteland world, she can enjoy this short but luxurious peace both physically and mentally. .

When she officially reaches adulthood next year, she won't have to worry about Han Nianling's report. She will work as a 'personal operator' until the debt of 95 is completely paid off. Then she will terminate her employment relationship with Han Nianling. She will still be the senior researcher. , I will continue to be my mercenary, and I will stop interacting with her from now on...

She was simply thinking about her future plans in her mind. After some psychological self-comfort, she only then observed the corridor she was walking on.

According to Han Nianling, this place seems to be on the seventh floor underground, and there are even deeper layers below. However, these are secrets that cannot be disclosed, so Hiiragi Jing naturally cannot know the specific information.

What I didn't expect was that the so-called institute's medical department looked less than half the size of the health and medical center from the outside, but it had such a huge underground facility underground.

The lighting in the corridor was as bright as day, making it completely invisible to people that they were underground. The porcelain floor tiles looked spotless, but they did not reflect their own figure at all.

According to Han Nianling, she should have arranged for someone to wait for her outside. Why was there no one there?

There was no one in sight in the empty and quiet corridor, and the invisible end at the other end of the corridor seemed to be empty. The uneasy coolness touched the body through the loose gaps in the white coat, making people wrap up their clothes involuntarily. Tighter.

Obviously my consciousness has been tempered several times in dangerous environments like the JD Abandoned City Nuclear Wasteland, so why do I act so nervous here?

Just when Hiiragi was about to laugh at her own performance in her mind, a sudden creaking sound behind her made her tremble.

"Are you the Hiiragi that Teacher Han mentioned? I'm sorry I went to get something just now." The girl's clear voice came from behind.

When she looked back, she saw a girl with short hair covering her ears leaning out from behind the half-open door and smiling at her.

He looks very young, probably a little older than himself. His face is not very beautiful, but it is very clean, giving people a comfortable and delicate feeling, especially the two small dimples that appear on his cheeks when he smiles.

But what concerned Hiiragi the most was her name for Han Nianling.

"Han... mentor?" Is this Han Nianling's student?Shouldn't it be the medical staff here?

"I am Instructor Han's assistant, and I accept his guidance in the field of ether-like materials." Seeing the confusion written on Hiiragi Jing's face, the short-haired girl began to introduce her identity, "At the same time, I also work as a nurse here. Member, when Master Han does not need my assistance, I will be here to take care of the patients."

"But the work here is not very busy. After all, it is not a medical center and I have a lot of free time." The short-haired girl said as she pushed out a wheelchair from behind the door and held two piles of white clothes in her other hand. , "Well... you seem to be very cold, why don't you come in and change some clothes first."

Hiiragi looked down subconsciously. The first thing that caught her eye were the two obvious bulges under her clothes. She felt so strong that she hurriedly covered them up.

"These are clothes in your size. You go in and change first."

Seeing the embarrassment Hiiragi was facing, the short-haired girl put her clothes on the ground very considerately and opened a way for Hiiragi to enter the room. At the same time, her eyes politely avoided Hiiragi's body and naturally turned away.

"Thank...Thank you!"

Although he is Han Nianling's student, Hiiragi Jing will not involve his dislike for Han Nianling. What's more, the other party's series of heart-warming behaviors have made Hiiragi Jing's favor rise sharply. He is simply an angel. Compared to Han Nianling, such an existence is simply two extremes.

Hiiragi took the clothes and hurriedly walked into the room. After thanking him, he remembered that he didn't even know the other person's name.

"By the way, your name is..."

"Just call me Phil." The sweet smile seemed to have a healing effect, which was extremely reassuring.

However, Hiei Jing didn't know that at the moment when the door was completely closed, the arc of Phil's smile changed slightly. If she had seen it, she would have been surprised to find that her smile was actually the same as Han Nianling's. Somewhat similar.

Chapter 68 Hospital Care

This is...a one-piece dress?

She thought it was the simplest patient uniform in the medical department, but when Hiroyuki unfolded the clothes Phil handed over, she discovered that it was not the set of clothes she expected, but a simple white one-piece dress. style.

Phil probably doesn't know the secret of her body changes. In her opinion, she should be an ordinary woman. Is it because of this?

Why don't you ask Phil to change into another one... Forget it, it's better not to cause unnecessary trouble to the other party. Although there is some resistance, it is still much better than the white coat he is wearing.

Holding the white one-piece skirt, Hiiragi turned around and made awkward gestures on her body. She couldn't find any other opening except for the zipper on the back. It seemed like it should be pulled over the head...

During the process of changing clothes, Hiei Jing finally realized how bad her physical condition was. She would feel a stinging pain from all parts of her body if she made any large movements. Fortunately, putting on clothes was not difficult, at least it was better than wearing clothes. Pants are a lot more convenient.

As Phil said, the size of this suit of clothes is just right for Hiiragi's body. It is not too loose or too tight. The fabric and the skin feel extremely comfortable. This is better than what I have ever worn before. Those cheap clothes you could get for a can in the trading area were so much better.

Although the vacuum feeling without underwear is hard to let go, especially the coolness down there is unavoidable and unsettling, but after getting rid of the embarrassment caused by the loose white coat and letting go of her nervousness, Hiiragi also began to have the leisure to observe herself around.

This seems to be a lounge that provides services to underground personnel. There are two sofas, one long and one short, and a coffee table in the center of the small room. The bookshelves against the wall are filled with different books.

There is a hot water dispenser on the small square table in the corner, and there is a simple upright coffee machine in the inner corner, but it looks like it has not been used for a long time.

Coffee machine?This thing is really rare.

The climate of Newborn City is not suitable for growing coffee trees, and it has always been necessary to purchase from outside. Since the communication with the south was completely cut off a few years ago, she has never seen any coffee products in the market of Newborn City.

However, the disappearance of coffee has not had a big impact on the New City. The supply of such drinks is already small and the price is high. In contrast, tea drinks are more popular in the upper and lower classes of the New City, and are even the most popular in the New City. The discovery of the coffee machine, one of the main export products, was only a slight surprise to Hiiragi.

"Hiiragi, are you dressed?"

"Ah...I'm already dressed"

When Phil's voice came through the crack in the door, Hiiragi remembered the business and quickly lowered his head to tidy up a bit. After agreeing, he put aside his brief observation of the surroundings and walked out of the room.

However, when she just took the first step, the feeling of the fluttering hem of her clothes gently brushing against her calves made her suddenly hesitate.

Obviously it felt fine when I was wearing it alone, but when I realized that others were watching, a strong sense of betrayal instantly emerged.

This is different from the previous experience under Sister Shang Shu's persuasion. With the persuasive reason of "increasing protection", the clothes I am wearing now are real women's clothes.

Hiiragi could only try to suppress the emotional ups and downs in her heart. A blush inevitably appeared on her originally sickly pale face. It was impossible to retract her steps. She could only lower her head to hide the discomfort on her expression.

The first time she saw Hiei Jing walking out of the room, Phil's eyes looked back and forth impatiently. What she saw made her eyes light up, but she still didn't forget to say goodbye to him. Ask about personal feelings: "How do the clothes feel?"

"Uh...this fits perfect, thank you Phil."

It was difficult to deny the other person's choice under Phil's hopeful gaze. Just when Hiei Jing wanted to walk quickly towards the corridor, Phil pushed his wheelchair in front of her. Seeing Phil This move made Hiiragi understand the other party's intention immediately.

"Well...I can walk by myself."

Hiiragi wanted to reject Phil's kindness. In her opinion, she had not lost the ability to walk. Sitting in a wheelchair would not only make her appear fragile but also cause additional trouble to Phil. However, Phil had no intention of withdrawing himself. decision

"This corridor is not shorter than you think, not to mention you have many injuries. Walking around for a long time is not conducive to the healing of the injuries. I believe you have experienced it when you changed clothes just now. Since you are the patient I am responsible for If you are suffering, then please try your best to cooperate with my work and don’t make it difficult for me.”

It was hard to deny that Phil's words were true. Since the other party was so insistent, Hiiragi finally chose to follow Phil's arrangement and get into a wheelchair.

This feeling of being pushed to move is quite new.

"Little sister Hiiragi Jing is a mercenary, right? Female mercenaries are really rare, and they are still so young."

"Younger sister Hiiragi Jing is really amazing at being able to survive from the crater area without being separated from the team and acting alone."

"I heard that little sister Hiiragi Jing met Teacher Han by chance through a mission commission, right? It's really curious that Teacher Han can pay so much attention to me... little sister Hiiragi Jing."

Phil's voice full of exploratory desire kept coming from behind his head. Amid the quiet responses, they arrived at the end of the corridor and took the elevator.

The number "-7" on the elevator wall increases as the floors change, and slowly stops at the number "3" amidst the crisp ringing sounds.

At this time, Phil finally changed the topic from exploring her, which made Hiiragi, who had been tired of responding, finally breathe a sigh of relief.
