Chapter 27: "Sloth" (Part 1)

Chen Yue walked through the corridor of the branch, and the feeling of incongruity from last night became more and more serious.

When passing by, the receptionist was playing with his cell phone absent-mindedly. When he saw her, the former branch ace, he just nodded. As for the low-level employees in the work area, they could only be described as outrageous.

Some people gathered together on tables, watched dramas on branch computers, some were putting on makeup in front of the mirror, some were playing with their phones, some were flipping through, and some were already asleep on the table.

This situation actually made Chen Yue feel that he had mistakenly entered a salted fish nursing company.

In the past, when we arrived at the foundation, low-level employees always had endless work, and information about suspected paranormal phenomena was transmitted in every moment. They would analyze these phenomena as soon as possible. If they could not draw specific conclusions, they would go directly to the on-site investigation and sample.

It can be said that almost all the intelligence support that employees above level A are the result of the busyness of low-level employees day and night.

In the past two days, inexplicable game characters have appeared, and gang members have been attacked. Today, Kuba has even been admitted to the branch, which is probably the busiest time.

When he pushed open the door of Chen Jiang's office, the former responsible person was concentrating on playing chess on the computer. When Chen Yue came in, he not only did not close the game in a panic, but also said calmly, "Wait a moment, this game will be over soon."

The atmosphere of laziness spread quietly.

From this point of view, the senior sister was the one who was least affected.

It may also be that the senior sister is usually a person who is too strict with herself, so even if she is affected, she just relaxed properly.

"Uncle Chen, I'm here today to discuss with you about the strange phenomena in the past two days."

"Oh, you're talking about those 'game characters', you're already checking it."

When he replied, Chen Jiang's eyes had never left the computer screen. "According to the investigation of the branch, their dangers are not high and they have almost no impact on the lives of ordinary people. There are only a few reports that the citizens who took photos with them did not go to schools or companies today - but they were not physically injured, they just wanted to take a day off."

Chen Jiang felt from the bottom of his heart that when people were about to be unable to withstand the busy life, it was understandable to temporarily rest for a while. He could not criticize them for this, or force them to be dragged out of their homes to a company or school.

"But in addition, dozens of gang members have been killed, including four small leaders. If this momentum continues, it will be a matter of time before a large-scale battle."

Gang elements are different from ordinary citizens. When encountering such targeted hunting operations, they will only cause their more fierce counterattack. Judging from the situation of the masked foursome, the people controlled by the mask are actually not completely invincible. If they are shot, they will bleed and die. Moreover, "Miami Hotline" itself is a game of "death is like the wind, always with me".

When Chen Yue was playing, she was so dead that she could not take care of herself.

When those gang members realize this, they may take the initiative to retaliate against such people, and ordinary citizens will inevitably be injured by accident.

What is brought about by violence against violence is not peace, but more disorderly chaos.

"Oh? Is there such a thing? Well... I remembered it. Officer Yu seemed to mention it once, well, don't worry, we will investigate later."

Chen Yue had no doubt that she might have gone out in the absent-minded tone, and Chen Jiang forgot about this.

In her opinion, this is a foreseeable disaster. In many cases, the damage that humans can produce is not much weaker than supernatural creatures.

Natural disasters can take away people's lives and destroy people's homes, and humans can do it themselves.

The branch can no longer count on it. It seems that we can only discuss countermeasures with Brother Gu Yun.

"But, isn't that exactly what you want to see?"

Just as Chen Yue was about to leave, a voice suddenly appeared in her heart. The voice was exactly the same as hers, but it seemed to be a little different.

She subconsciously looked around.

Chen Jiang still focused on starting the next game of auto-chess, and the low-level employees outside the office also happily continued their day of fishing, not affected by the upcoming crisis at all.

People's chats and laughter and the sound effects of the game have become illusory. Even if they are close, they seem to be separated by a world.

"If everyone loses their fighting spirit, if slut is the norm in this world, then you can live the life you want with peace of mind - students have to go to classes, adults have to go to work, seven days a week, five days of busy days, and a rare day off, but they are also squeezed by homework and work. Don't you think these rules are too harsh?

“So, when you have already broken out of these rules and regulations, why not shape the world into what you want to see?”

At this moment, Chen Yue was convinced that this sudden conversation only existed in her heart, or in a certain level of consciousness, and the people around her did not notice her abnormality at all.

"Who are you?"

"I?"

The voice paused, and then laughed in a low voice, "I am a changer who is tired of the existing rules and hopes to make changes. There are many changer like me in this world, but you seem to have given us a not very good synonym."

Chen Yue had a vague premonition in her heart, but when this thought arose, her mood fell to the bottom.

"Oh? It seems you've guessed it."

The voice is tempting, "After all, we have been together for so long, and we have gradually reached the point where we are in harmony... Yes, you call changers like us natural disasters."

Natural disaster!

When the other party said this word, Chen Yue immediately got goosebumps.

She still remembers the fire waves that the windbreaker almost fell in the x-market. If the fire waves flooded the surface, it would be enough to cause more than tens of thousands of casualties in a short period of time. According to what she learned later, the windbreaker was still a "not complete" natural disaster. In the long river of history, there are some natural disasters that have caused countless casualties.

Most of them are different from the twilight witches. Humans have never gained the upper hand in their confrontation with them. But for some reason, those natural disasters eventually disappeared in the record, and their whereabouts have become an eternal unsolved mystery.

And now, there is a natural disaster hidden in her body?

"You said this is what I wanted to see, but I never hoped that serial murderers would appear!"

"No, you ever hoped - do you remember? I had an idea when you passed that game - you didn't feel that if there was such a civil organization to eliminate evil spirits and crimes in reality, your work would be much more relaxed."

The moon stagnated, but there was no way to refute it for a while.

This feeling is like talking to one's own heart, and lies and refutations can never resist one's own heart.

"But there is still room for everything."
