Chapter 7 The Past and Present Life of the Underworld Bureau
This is the second time that Lin Xi has accompanied Thirteen to take the elevator. The ghost is no longer there, but his panic has never changed.
Thirteen is a strange man. It has been 4 days since he was still wearing the black windbreaker he met. He has no fear on his face and is constantly eating all kinds of candies in his mouth.
The princess told Lin Xi that he had never taken the initiative to save anyone because he was unwilling to have any interaction with strangers. He had no friends or family. He hated social interaction, and even the annual meetings in the bureau would only appear during the lottery.
When he was eight years old, he was so many that he had enough to break the record in the deadlock, but he was still a temporary worker, just because he was not good at exams, he buried this natural expert in catching ghosts.
No one knows where he taught. From the first day of his tenure, he solved a big case that was unsolved. He was regarded as the most brilliant newcomer in the bureau, and there were countless flatterers around him, but now time has passed.
Those who once praised others had turned against him and were afraid to avoid them. Those who had been jealous of others had already held important positions and enjoyed mocking him. Those who had followed others had buried their bones in the cemetery and could not be with them.
But he is still him, neither sad nor arrogant, neither impatience nor surrender, not being unfair nor angry, never leaving...
In the process of the princess persuading Lin Xi, she was more of a statement to ensure her safety, and this kind of guarantee was more about introducing Thirteen's special.
The princess said a lot, and Lin Xi also remembered a lot, but she was still less than one percent of the secrets of this man.
Just as Lin Xi was in a daze at Thirteen's back, a fat cockroach climbed on Thirteen's shoulder and looked back, "Hey, Thirteen, this girl probably fell in love with you. She kept staring at you forever. Beauty, if you don't get on, I'll get on."
"Ah! Cockroach!" Lin Xi resisted the urge to take off his shoes and use his slim heels to nail it to death, and retreated nervously. Although it was not the first time I saw Xiaoqiang, the girl was still instinctively full of goose bumps when facing such a small animal.
"I just can't understand why you always hit people. To you, she is like an elephant, you are just an ant. Do you think the train will feel pleasure when entering a cave?" Thirteen said, grabbing the mouthful cockroach and stuffing it back into his pocket.
"Thank you." Lin Xi couldn't help but thank you.
"Why thank me?" Thirteen said and turned around.
"Because you caught the bugs, and because... you accept me as your partner." Lin Xi felt a little embarrassed, and his fair face showed a hint of blush.
"I think you're wrong. I caught the bugs and didn't want you to give birth to monsters of a strange shape. The partner was arranged by the above. I'm just a temporary worker who is not qualified to refute their orders.
In addition, if you are seeking death yourself, I have nothing to say." Thirteen said so heartlessly.
"I know you don't like me, but I really have reasons to stay. Whether you like me or not, I will become your partner. Let's get along well in the future." Lin Xi was excited and stretched out his hand to Thirteen with the most perfect smile.
"I never shake hands with the corpse, it's bad luck." Thirteen looked at Lin Xi and hung her hands in the air.
When the atmosphere in the elevator was so awkward that it was almost suffocating, the destination, the 10th floor underground, finally arrived. The open elevator door with a jingle showed a scene like a military base.
The gray cement corridor and military lighting sources are guided like a passage to hell. There are countless cameras along the way, just like people from all over the world are peeking at you.
"Come with me. Since you are determined to join the Underworld Bureau, you must know something..." He put one hand in his pants pocket, and Thirteen ate chocolate beans while leading the way forward.
Thirteen introduces the history of the underworld affairs. According to legend, the earliest underworld affairs can be traced to the Huangdi era. After the Huangdi defeated the demon beast Chiyou, it was used to continue to chase the remnants of Chiyou.
Then, no matter how turbulent and political situations change, the underworld was lucky enough to preserve it. This collection of many organizations with mysterious powers can always easily gain the reuse and protection of those in power.
However, the rule of the Underworld Bureau is to just care about underworld affairs and not ask about **. Even if the heroes compete and the people suffer, the Underworld Bureau has always been doing unknown ghost hunting.
Since the reform and opening up, under the leadership of the current director Shen Suanzi, the Underworld Bureau has obtained an unprecedented period of development, and the team has grown rapidly and is unprecedented. To this day, it has more than 500,000 front-line investigators, and its branches are spread across major cities in China. The offices have even been built to the township level. The expansion speed is faster, wider and more detailed than the expansion speed of natural water pipelines.
The total number of logistics personnel used to serve these 500,000 investigators exceeded 1.5 million. Of course, not all of these 1.5 million people knew the existence of the Underworld Bureau, and some businesses were even assigned to private companies to be responsible.
Investigators from the Underworld Bureau are divided into three levels: Heaven, Earth and Human, and each level is divided into nine levels. Different levels, different tasks accepted, and different levels of danger.
The tasks of the Underworld Bureau are divided into three categories: catching ghosts, catching monsters, and hunting demons, respectively corresponding to the third-level investigators of the human level. The number of human-level investigators is the largest, with a total number of close to 450,000, because the incidence rate of evil ghosts is also the highest.
The Earth-level investigators are close to 50,000, and they are targeting more terrifying monster cases. These are monsters in myths and legends, with the power of cultivators and are comparable to evil spirits. However, most of these monsters have been integrated into the life of the world, living in seclusion in the mountains, adhering to the principle of low-key being a monster and living for a long time, so the number of cases is not large.
There are only 10 people in the entire underworld affairs bureau. It is said that they are all humans who have practiced with a comparable beautiful god. They are also the most terrifying cases, including demon cases from the demon world.
It is not easy to break through the barriers of the Three Realms and come to the human world, even a demon god is not easy. The sky-level investigator has almost nothing to do. His latest mission will be traced to World War II more than 60 years ago.
They were facing Hitler possessed by Satan and his friends in the demon world. It was a catastrophe that swept the human world. Fortunately, the demon hunting organizations from various countries joined forces to eventually send Satan back to the demon world, and humans won the battle.
It was also since then that the Tianjie Investigator began to have nothing to do, enjoying the highest benefits of the Underworld Bureau, earning a salary of one million a month, and in addition to spending his whole life, he also picked up girls to live.
They are legends in the Underworld Bureau and the ultimate goal of all investigators. As long as they persist in working as a heavenly investigator, they will definitely live more comfortably than the guys on Forbes' list, because the rich cannot enjoy the administrative privileges granted by their absolute functions.
The beautiful future has been described, and it is time to talk about the things that can end their future at any time.
Evil ghosts are the most common in the world and also the most popular group of resentful spirits in the world. They are divided into 9 stars according to the different levels of spiritual power. The highest 9-star evil ghosts are almost one step away from being able to level up into monsters.
The underworld affairs are not arrested. They set the level of evil spirits only to indicate their strength and weakness. The standard for truly deciding whether to be free or end them is the harm index.
Most ghosts like pranks or entangled around people they don’t want to leave. This type of harming person has a very low index and you can basically ignore it.
But once the evil ghost's harm index exceeds 50%, which causes harm to humans and society, investigators have the responsibility to save or end their last trace of remnants.
When it comes to spiritual power, all things have spirits. Whether it is gods in the heavens or weeds on the roadside, those with life have spiritual power. However, spiritual power can be divided into strength and weakness. This kind of spiritual power can be explained as cultivation and spirit. If you like it, you can call it "chakra".
Spiritual power gives human physical strength and belief. Those with high spiritual power can achieve extraordinary achievements and be indomitable. All kings of all dynasties can shock the land of China with extraordinary spiritual power.
Athletes on the sports field and academic masters in the examination field are also another manifestation of their extraordinary spiritual power.
Successful people are destined to succeed from the moment they are born, which is also distinguished by the level of spiritual power.
When the spiritual power exceeds a limit, people are no longer humans, either called practitioners or superpower teachers. All they possess are supernatural powers, and only such people can become investigators of the Underworld Bureau and do the trick of catching ghosts, catching monsters, and hunting demons.
"How to judge the level of spiritual power?" Lin Xi was so enchanted that he couldn't help asking.
Shisan, who was leading the way, threw an object backwards. Lin Xi was extremely thrillingly and it turned out to be a crystal ball the size of a billiard ball. Before Lin Xi could ask again, the crystal ball in his hand actually emitted a soft white light, just like a light bulb in the magician's hand.
"This is a spirit measurement ball, made of thousand-year-old white crystals underground. Generally, humans will emit blue light when they come into contact with each other. Those with potential spiritual power can emit white light when they hold it. The words that the full investigator holds are red light. As for the old monsters in the heavenly level, I don't know. It is said that they will emit golden light?" Thirteen said, turning around and taking back the crystal ball in Lin Xi's hand. The soft white light disappeared after it broke away from Lin Xi's palm.
What surprised Lin Xi was that the ball touched Thirteen's finger, but no light flashed. Even the blue light of ordinary people mentioned by Thirteen was not visible from the perspective of Thirteen, just as Thirteen was not a living creature, and even evil ghosts were not counted.
"You have some potential, but before you practice to become a red light, your potential is the best ingredient in the eyes of evil ghosts, as attractive as the Australian lobster on the dining table. This is why the ghost renter asked you to be a substitute." The evil smile on the corner of Shisan's mouth made Lin Xi tremble again.
"It doesn't matter. From childhood to adulthood, I have strong adaptability. Since I have potential, I believe I can transform them into strength." Lin Xi said this to himself, which is a kind of cheering up.
