With a ding-dong sound, the elevator door opened, and a small white fox jumped out, holding a document in its mouth.
I don’t know why, but Hu Xiaobei seems to like running around like a fox.
"You have your work to do next."
The little fox handed the document to Wang Jin, then pulled Wang Jin's trousers and led him into the elevator.
"A new strange story has appeared. Go check it out."
"Why don't you go?"
Wang Jin picked up the little fox and raised it in front of him.
"What are you doing! Rogue! Put me down!"
The little fox opened its teeth and claws, and bit Wang Jin, who was enjoying himself. Wang Jin let go of his hand with an ouch.
"It was arranged from above."
Hu Xiaobei landed lightly on the ground, and then looked at Wang Jin.
"Do you like the zoo?"
"Ah? I like it. I have been attracted by small animals since I was a child. When I go to the zoo, it feels like having a fan meeting."
Wang Jin replied while flipping through the document. The document stated the equipment that Wang Jin could apply for with his authority.
"Then you are in luck, your first mission is the strange tale of the zoo."
Hu Xiaobei took out a pair of glasses from somewhere and put them on his head.
"Hey, why does it sound familiar?"
Wang Jin scratched his hair, feeling like he had heard it somewhere.
"You, a rookie who has just joined the team three days ago, have heard it, which is enough to show the wide influence of this weird story. I don't know what people think nowadays. Are they always thinking about such scary and weird things because they are afraid of dying fast enough? Really.
Enough support."
Although it was a fox, Wang Jin still felt human emotions from its face.
"Your mission is to enter the zoo, find out the rules inside the zoo, and prepare for the follow-up actions of the Suppression Department."
"Ah, you have insight into the prototypes and patterns of ghost stories, right? I understand."
Wang Jin nodded.
"Go to the logistics department to get your equipment, hurry up."
"Wait a minute, aren't there a few equipments I can use? None of them have stronger attack power."
Wang Jin frowned as he looked at the thin document.
"No way, your authority is too low, but the company will equip you with a pistol. Can you shoot with a gun?"
"Saw it on TV."
Wang Jin answered honestly.
"If you don't know how to aim, just hit him in the face. You'll get better with more practice, but don't put too much hope in the pistol. The only one that can compete with Kaidan is Kaitan."
The little fox shook his head, with a look of helplessness on his face.
"Well, isn't our company a little too childish?"
I don't know why, but Wang Jin always feels like he has no confidence in his heart.
"The company believes in you. Everyone in the tuning department should have the ability to face strange stories on their own. Otherwise, why would you get such a high salary?"
Hu Xiaobei looked at Wang Jin, seeming to be hesitating.
"That's right, use people's money to eliminate disasters for others."
Wang Jin nodded.
In fact, Wang Jin noticed something was wrong when Anne broke out of containment. This company's attitude towards human life was too trivial, as if its employees were consumables.
"Consumables?"
Wang Jin suddenly understood what the blind man said, but most of the employees here knew their situation and knew that they were exchanging their lives for money, so they were not worthy of pity. Wang Jin had always been sober, and he knew that he was nothing more than a dead person.
Even more fortunately, his unusual talent gave him the capital to deal with ghost stories.
"I don't know how long this luck can last."
The elevator door opened and Wang Jin ran to the logistics department.
Equipment, the full name is p·t·u equipment, most of which are man-made weird stories starting with m.
This kind of ghost stories usually exist in the form of items, which have some of the characteristics of ghost stories. Powerful equipment has complex and weird usage rules.
Looking at the equipment neatly placed on the stage, Wang Jin fell into a dilemma.
[m-01-02—Ghost blowing lamp, after lighting it, the surrounding five meters will become unobservable. The user will gradually contract various diseases as time goes by. 】
Wang Jin immediately grabbed a lighter.
"This thing is a life-preserving weapon. Although it has some side effects, it's still right to wear it."
Looking around, a red hand ax caught Wang Jin's attention.
[e-02-07 - Woodcutter, a hand ax stained with blood. The handle can be retracted. The user will be mentally polluted when holding it in his hand. 】
"Yo? This is a real weird story, take it with you."
Wang Jin weighed the ax in his hand. The size and weight were very suitable.
Unlike mass-produced man-made ghost stories, naturally occurring ghost stories cannot be destroyed, so this ax is absolutely strong and durable. As for mental pollution, Wang Jin does not have to worry at all, and it is a bargain.
There were not many things that could be used, and the capacity of the backpack was limited. After some comparison, Wang Jin turned his attention to a piece of equipment placed in the corner.
【m-03-46—Ghost press.】
"This...is Zhang Fu?"
Wang Jin was a little confused looking at the talisman with red characters on a yellow background, and then looked at the instructions for use.
[Puts the user into a state of suspended animation with extremely low material requirements. He cannot remove it by himself. If used continuously for more than 72 hours, he will die directly. 】
"It seems like two people need to work together to use this thing? But there are other ways to use it, so take it."
"Oh, I don't have enough permissions to get anything else. Just a zoo, that's enough."
"Ah, yes, there is also a Geiger counter, food and water, a pistol and bullets."
Wang Jin packed his things in a hurry.
"Huh... let's go!"
Half an hour later.
The entrance of Dajiang Zoo.
"That's it? Isn't this an ordinary zoo?"
Wang Jin was kicked out of the car by Hu Xiaobei who turned into a human.
"Building weird stories can be accessed through similar locations. This is clearly stated in the employee regulations."
Hu Xiaobei looked at the confused Wang Jin and sighed, then said.
"Let go of your inspiration. In other words, you will adjust yourself into a mode where you are prone to encountering ghosts. You should be able to do that, right?"
"Ah, I can do this."
Wang Jin closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then opened them.
His pupils changed from brown to ink-like black, and his whole person's temperament became mysterious and attractive.
"Ah, I suddenly became handsome."
Hu Xiaobei lowered his head and seemed to be blushing.
"When your inspiration is fully activated, it will definitely attract strange talk. Don't take it too seriously."
Wang Jin smiled, shook his head, and walked towards the zoo.
"Wait! This is for you."
Hu Xiaobei took out a tiger-head hat from somewhere and put it on Wang Jin's head.
"My mother gave me this when I left home. I just need to inject some inspiration into it and use it."
"This thing is very important to me. I must return it to me when I come back alive."
Hu Xiaobei had a blush on his face and kept waving to Wang Jin.
"Ah, I definitely will. I keep my word."
Wang Jin smiled and stepped into the gate of the zoo with his bag on his back. His figure mysteriously disappeared the moment he entered the gate.
——
"Didi!"
The Geiger counter flashed crazily, seeming to prove something.
Wang Jin felt his eyes blurred, and when he looked back, there was only darkness.
"Is there no way back?"
Wang Jin had no choice but to bite the bullet and move forward.
[Dear visitors, welcome to ■■ City Zoo. We collect most of the animals in the world and ensure that we create a suitable environment for each animal to survive. I hope you and your children can enjoy your visit! 】
The radio station placed at the entrance of the zoo kept playing this passage. Wang Jin listened to it several times but could not recognize the specific name of the zoo. Instead, the gentle female voice gradually became noisy and distorted, which made people a little irritated.
"Forget it, don't try to understand, my task is to find out the rules."
Wang Jin shook his head, turned off his inspiration, and walked into the zoo.
"Hello, welcome to the Zoo, I wish you a pleasant visit."
As soon as Wang Jin entered the door, a staff member in blue uniform handed over a leaflet with densely written words on it.
After a cursory glance, there were some insignificant things, including an introduction to the animals collected in the zoo and their living habits.
This was the first time he came into contact with this kind of strange talk without a real body. Wang Jin was a little at a loss. He stood there and looked around.
"Everything looks normal. Isn't this just an ordinary zoo?"
