The solid touch was clearly conveyed to Lloyd's body through the shoes. Three years later, the streets of Crossbell still made Lloyd feel an indescribable sense of security.
The station is at the south gate of Crossbell, and only a hundred steps further south is the Ursula Road. If you spend 20 minutes taking a guided bus or 2 or 3 hours on foot, you can reach the best place in Crossbell Autonomous Prefecture.
The hospital - St. Ursula Medical University. Going north leads directly to the Central Street of Crossbell City.
Entering the gate made of steel bars, Lloyd couldn't help but be stunned by the sight in front of him.
It can be said that the scene before him completely shattered what he had introduced to the black-haired man on the train.
The symbol of Crossbell, the Bell of Crossbell, is still located in the center of the central square. The new support column has a unique metallic luster. A police officer-looking man stands in front of the introduction board, who should be responsible for guarding the central square.
of people.
Other than that, I can only say that it has changed a lot. The department store has a completely new look, and the newly opened Daoli Store is located next to it. Every building is also brand new, probably built in the last three years? Three years.
There was not a single guided vehicle on the front street, and it has become more common now. Just when Lloyd was in a daze, a guided vehicle jumped in front of him, and its thick black steps scraped out the sound on the masonry ground.
a small sound.
"There have been such huge changes in just three years." Listening to all the scattered and noisy sounds, the flaxen-haired boy couldn't help but sigh.
The Crossbell that I remembered was no longer there, replaced by a completely new and unfamiliar city called Crossbell.
Looking around, a 4-story building came into Lloyd's sight.
Although it cannot be said to be old, the color has begun to fade, and it feels gray. It looks out of place among the newly built, shiny and tall buildings. If the surrounding buildings are made of shiny crystal, then it is a piece of
Stones that once had beautiful colors.
However, Lloyd still had a good impression of it because it was one of the few buildings that seemed familiar to him.
In a "strange" city, anything familiar will make people feel good.
"Huh? This mixed-use building is still well preserved. The Crossbell Times Magazine used to be right across from it."
If the police station doesn't provide dormitories, just move here. Lloyd quietly had this idea in his mind.
"It's almost time." Lloyd said to himself as he took out the special letter from the inner pocket of his blue and white sports jacket.
"Officer Lloyd Bannings has been appointed to the Special Mission Support Section at the Crossbell Police Headquarters. Please report to the Police Headquarters on the designated date."
Looking carefully at the time recorded on the thin letter paper issued by the Personnel Department of the Crossbell Police Department, Lloyd checked his itinerary again. There was not enough time, but it was not urgent.
only……
"Special Mission Support Section? It's a name I've never heard of before. It doesn't even have uniforms. What kind of department is it?"
Although I am a little uneasy, the police station stamp on the letter is not forged, it must be genuine. It is probably some newly constructed department.
Lloyd shook his head vigorously, throwing all these thoughts behind him.
"Forget it - you'll find out when you get there. Fortunately, if there is any change in the location of the police station, go report it right away."
When you are confused, always act first. This is one of Lloyd's strengths, or in other words, this is one of the strengths that Lloyd inherited from his elder brother.
Walking north through the guide shops and department stores, you can see a beautiful fountain in the distance. This is the administrative district, the city hall, the police station and the citizen library are all located in this area. Further north, a building called the Orchid Tower is being built.
building, so it is being blocked.
Just like the cold impression given by politics, the administrative area is also a bit deserted, with few pedestrians. In fact, ordinary residents rarely come here. People who come here usually go to the library or the administrative area. The former often spends a day in the library
, the latter often come in a hurry and then leave quickly.
Police station? The police station in Crossbell is the least visited by residents. Because even if you make a request to the police, they will not bother to solve minor incidents, but they will not be able to solve major incidents. With the money and time, why not ask the guerrillas?
Arriving at the door of the police station, the solemn masonry structure gave off a serious atmosphere. Lloyd straightened his clothes at the door and strode in.
Facing the front is the long table at the reception desk. There are several benches lined up on both sides of the passage for residents waiting to present their cases to rest. Although they are not used a few times, the whole building tends to be gray and heavy in tone, which is what most people imagine.
There's no difference.
Although he had been here a few times, Lloyd was still a little excited at the thought of working here in the future. This feeling was similar to that of a child who heard his parents say they would take him to the amusement park the next day.
Anyway, let’s go to the reception desk and say hello first. With this in mind, Lloyd walked towards the reception desk.
"Hello and welcome to the Crossbell Police Department!"
The receptionist lady noticed him walking towards her and showed a energetic smile. The light pink girl with double ponytails was wearing a well-fitting police uniform, her face was a little round, her blue-gray eyes were very beautiful, and her eyelashes were long. If I use one sentence
To sum up, she is a cute girl with a very suitable smile and pink color. She is more suitable as a receptionist in a department store than in a serious place like the police station.
Although it is a bit inconsistent with the serious atmosphere of the police station, this kind of cute girl can inspire the fighting spirit of the new police officers, and can also effectively cure the fatigue of those police officers who have been busy all day. In a sense, this kind of girl
Children are also essential.
"What's the matter with you? Do you want to report a crime?" the receptionist said, tilting her head slightly.
"Ah, um..." Listening to her energetic voice, Lloyd also had a smile on his face. "My name is Lloyd Bannings. Starting today, I will work here."
"Ah, so that's it. Great, we have a new colleague here."
As she said this, the receptionist had a bright smile on her face. However, she immediately frowned.
"However, I didn't receive a notice saying that new people are coming today. Are you sure it's from the police headquarters and not the security team?"
Lloyd nodded. He had confirmed the contents of the letter many times.
"Yes, it's the police headquarters. Because I obtained the qualification certificate as a search officer at the police academy."
"Hey? Did you pass the prosecutor's exam?! That's great! It's rare for a newcomer."
The receptionist made no secret of her surprise and admiration. Lloyd smiled sheepishly and scratched his head: "No, it's nothing, it's just that I had better luck. Moreover, it seems that I am the only one taking the exam this time."
"Really~~ You don't need to be so modest." The receptionist smiled. She is also a member of the police department, and she knows very well how difficult this exam is.
"But it's strange. If there are really new people joining, we should accept the notification, right? Well, may I ask, which department are you assigned to?"
