Chapter 37 Zhenshan Office

"Come one by one, don't squeeze others~"

The campus is very lively near the end of school. There are teachers wearing puppet costumes, hanging flying balloons, various walking toy cars, and small puppets flying with music.

"Grandma, I'm here~" A little girl in the distance waved happily. She was standing by the flower bed, and there were several children of the same age around her. Their faces were painted with colorful things and they were holding colorful rotating paper windmills in their hands.

Today is Children's Day. Heshia accompanied Grandma He to the school to visit Lisa and visit the activities in the school.

Although it is an underground city, the environment of the elementary school and kindergarten is still very sunny. There is a rare simulated sky here. The grass on the campus is also real plants. There are automatic robots to sprinkle water every day.

Thanks to the reform 400 years ago, the federal regulations require that kindergartens and elementary schools must ensure sufficient light, a natural environment, tuition reduction, and the salary of teachers is borne by the government. Try to give federal residents a better childhood, because this is a critical period for personality formation.

Although some people questioned the high cost of this project in the early stage, it was still approved by the vast majority of residents in the Federation. Later, the society was indeed much more stable, so it gradually became a long-term national policy, and no one opposed it.

Because children are unstable in mind, immature in body, and many knowledge reserves are insufficient, they have not started to practice the extraordinary sequence, but are only in the theoretical accumulation stage. If someone teaches children in advance, it is also illegal.

In history, it is not that no one has thought of forcing the growth of seedlings, and there have been several debates within the Federation on this issue. However, according to a large amount of data, the harm caused by practicing the extraordinary sequence at a young age is still greater than the slight first-mover advantage. In the end, the final decision was made and this rule was set.

This rule also brings another benefit, that is, because they have not yet practiced the extraordinary sequence, the gap between children will not be very obvious, so it is more conducive to the healthy growth of body and mind.

Otherwise, they will have to face the cruel internal competition and competitive pressure from elementary school. It is hard to say that the life of such a grown-up is beautiful, and it is rare to stay cheerful and not depressed.

"Oh, my good great-granddaughter." Grandma He walked over with a smile. She has been in better health in the past two days.

"Come on, tell grandma what you performed today."

"Today we acted out a story about four cotton ducks fighting the Dark Fire Demon King. In the end, the Demon King was defeated by our Super Heart Candy Bullet. He also said that this was the taste he missed and liked the most..."

Heshia leaned over and looked at the children in front of her chattering around Grandma He, feeling a burst of laughter and a simple joy.

"This is for Sister Heshia, here~" Lisa held three lollipops in her small hands and handed them to the girl.

"It's very delicious candy. It's the prize we won in the performance competition. The teacher gave each of us a box. It can last for a long time."

"Thank you Lisa." Heshia took the candy she handed over and carefully looked at the label on it. It was produced locally in Arpeggio City and there were many flavors.

"Sister Heshia, have one. It's delicious."

Several children surrounded Heshia. Although some of them didn't know her, because Lisa was their good friend, they naturally thought that Heshia was very close.

"Okay, then I'll choose this green tangerine flavor."

The girl tore open the candy wrapper, revealing a light green candy. She lightly put it in her mouth, and a mixed fruity sweetness spread on the tip of her tongue.

The taste is really good, a little better than what she ate when she was a child. Perhaps this manufacturer has improved it.

Just as Grandma He was talking to Heshia and a few children, a few other children in the distance also trotted over.

Most of their homes are nearby, and these few have also taken tutoring classes with Grandma He, so they naturally remember Heshia, the big sister who taught them for a while.

"That's Sister Heshia. She's amazing. She can knock down the out-of-control bad guys, and she can do a lot more. She's even better than the teacher!"

"Better than the teacher, you're bragging again~"

"That's not what I said, even Shandy said so." Shandy was the child who wore glasses when he studied at Grandma He's house before, and he was always in the top three in the grade, so everyone knew him.

"Did Sandy really say that? I don't think so. He's so proud. He doesn't talk to us normally."

"Hey, he's pretending to be an adult. I hate playing with him the most. He always talks about all kinds of reasons. It's annoying."

"I won't tell you. My brother is here to pick me up. He said he'll treat me to a big meal today. Bye~" As the child said that, he ran to the school gate. A teenager in a high school uniform was smiling and waving at him.

"Wow, this guy ran away early again."

The campus was noisy. Adults took their children to various stalls and play spots. A layer of light golden clouds floated on the edge of the simulated sky, and the purple-red glow illuminated the sky.

When it was getting dark, Grandma He and Heshia took Lisa home. The three of them left the glorious campus and slowly walked into the familiar corridor elevator.

Along the way, they met many neighbors who were getting off work. This time period is the busiest time in the residential area. Many people go shopping and go out for a walk. Many adults and children can be seen in the small parks in the residential area.

Although such an underground park square does not have a simulated sky, it is also equipped with bright night lights, which is the brightest place in the dim residential area.

"What does Lisa want to eat today?" Grandma He asked her on the way.

"I want to eat fish, such a big fish~"

"Didn't Lisa rarely eat fish before? Why do you want to eat this today?"

"Because the teacher said that ducks eat fish, today I play the role of a duck, so I have to eat fish." The child's reason is so simple and clear.

"Okay, grandma will buy fish for you."

The three of them walked to the supermarket, then bought tonight's dishes, and then returned home.

He Cheng and Lisa's parents had not yet gotten off work, so Grandma He and Heshia began to prepare in advance. The sound of cooking gradually came from the kitchen, and Grandma He also carefully told Heshia some life skills.

Dingling-

a doorbell rang outside, which surprised the two slightly, because other people in the family had keys and identity recognition, so they didn't need to press this.

"Someone's knocking on the door." Lisa trotted into the kitchen and said to the two adults.

"I'll go take a look." Heshia put down the things in her hands.

Looking at the image on the display screen next to the door, Heshia was surprised. After all, the other party's clothes were indeed very special, or "rustic".

Finally, the door was opened, and the three people outside introduced themselves.

"Hello, is this Ms. He's house? I am a member of the 'Zhenshan Office'. This time I was commissioned by the Arpeggi City Government to investigate and deal with some things." He showed his certificate, which can be checked online.

The three people in front of him were dressed in retro style, with a style that was quite oriental. The outer robe was yellow as the base and black as the edge, with wide sleeves and open chests, and the belt fluttering.

But if you look closely, you will find that this is definitely not an ancient oriental person. His lower body is a capable trousers, the upper body is a woven microfiber breastplate, the waist is hung with a roulette scanner, and the back is hung with an electromagnetic rifle. He is definitely a professional.

"Oh, who are you?" Grandma He also came over after hearing the news and saw the people outside.

Seeing the obvious oriental faces of Grandma He and Lisa, the three people softened their tone.

"Hello, old man. We are members of the firm. We have received a mission from the federal government this time to come and solve the problem of the out-of-control person before..." The three people explained in detail.

It turned out that the out-of-control incidents that occurred during this period were not only the one that Heshia encountered that day, but also several other places. The most notable one was the accident that happened on the commercial street that day.

In order to prepare for the concert, Arpeggio City deliberately suppressed the news. Now that the concert is over, it is natural to start dealing with these problems.

"So, the federation asked you to help, right?"

"Yes, our 'Zhenshan Firm' has cooperated with the governments of various northern districts in the Jade Skirt. We have investigated and handled difficult matters in the North Fifth District and the North Eighth District several times, and have gained the trust of the regional governments. This is the rating of our firm." As he said this, the man in front of him slashed the personal terminal on his wrist, showing a sign with secret text, indicating that their firm's strength evaluation was 'B-' and its credibility was 'A'.

Generally speaking, only firms with an 'A' reputation will receive assignments from the government, and these assignments are often well paid.

"I see." Heshia nodded thoughtfully, and she looked at the people in front of her.

The leading man looked to be in his 30s, with the strength of a spiritual child sequence 5, while the two people behind him, one looked to be in his 40s, and the other was in his early 20s, both of whom were at the level of sequence 4.

"Excuse me, are you Miss Heshia Tilan?" He looked at the gray-haired girl in front of him.

From the outside, the girl looked a little delicate, and she was wearing glasses. Her long gray hair matched the common student uniform, which was not conspicuous. Her arms and legs were not thick, and it was hard to imagine how she defeated the out-of-control person. It was said that she was only sequence 2 at the time.

"I am." The girl nodded.

"Can I ask you about the details of what happened at that time?" He pushed the glasses on his nose, and a light blue light flashed, indicating that he had entered the recording mode.

"Okay, but let's talk outside." Heshia took the initiative to come out to avoid implicating and scaring Grandma He's family.

"Heshia." Grandma He held her hand, suggesting that she could refuse, but not agree easily.

"It's okay." Heshia shook her head and followed the three people out.

The group came to a small activity area in the residential area and stood beside a horizontal chair to start talking.

"My name is Yang Che, one of the executive operators of the firm this time. It's nice to meet you." Although he said he was happy, his square and cold face really made people feel unhappy.

However, the other party did not have any bad intentions. The girl could faintly sense the other party's emotions. This was also the ability she gained after she advanced to the Withering Sequence 3 recently.

"Sorry, Brother Yang, this is it. Let me introduce you. The uncle here is Pascal. My name is Luther, and I am also a member of this operation." The young man behind him came up to ease the atmosphere.

"We just arrived yesterday and read a lot of information given by the government. Now we are divided into several teams for investigation, and we are one of them. Because your experience is quite special, I want to find you to learn more about it."

"It's just asking some ordinary questions. If you feel uncomfortable, you don't have to answer." Under the mediation of this operator, the atmosphere on the scene finally eased a little.

"Why don't we find a restaurant to sit for a while? We're hungry, too. What do you think, Uncle Pascal?"

"Yes, it's better to find a place to sit for a while than to stand there stupidly." The gray-haired uncle patted Yang Che's shoulder, and then Yang Che nodded. Several people invited Heshia to have dinner at a restaurant on the street.

After entering the store, several people looked around briefly and sat down, asking Heshia to order.

"We just arrived and are not familiar with it. You are from this area, so you should know what to eat."

"Okay." Heshia opened the menu displayed in her personal terminal and ordered 4 ordinary T6-level standard meal sets, each for about 35 yuan, which is good value for money.

The other people didn't care when they saw it, and seemed to be satisfied with having a standard meal instead of emergency food.

"Please wait a moment." The store only has the boss and his wife. After seeing the list, the boss said something and asked the kitchen to start preparing.

After a while, the hot meals that had just been cooked were served, and several people slowly started to talk.

"Heshia has just graduated from junior high school, right?"

"Yes, she is still preparing for the retest and working."

"She is very hardworking. My child is about the same age as you, but now she just plays." Uncle Pascal spoke first, and then the others talked about the environment of this area.

"You uncles must have been to many places." Heshia suddenly spoke up. She was actually very curious about how these people dressed.

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"Why are you wearing such a coat outside? It's not very convenient to move around in such clothes."

"Oh, you are talking about this. This is the style of our firm, or the identification mark. After all, there is competition between firms, so there must be some differences to make people remember it." Luther was talking on the side, and then Pascal added a few words from time to time, while Yang Che, the leading captain, remained silent.

"The founder of our firm is an oriental man. It is said that his ancestors once worked in the dynasty and liked this style very much. Moreover, many of the techniques and methods we use are indeed inherited from the orient, so it is worthy of the name."

"Worthy of the name?"

"Yes, you see, the 'Seeking Wind Eight Mountains Plate' in our hands can easily search for nearby life and consciousness. It is a fine product of the 'Xiangshu Workshop'. There are also some thunder methods, which are good helpers for dealing with ghosts."

"We must also improve in exorcising demons. Now it is the era of laser guns." Luther added.

The two of them briefly introduced themselves, and Heshia's curiosity was slightly satisfied. Then she began to tell the three about what happened that day.

"You mean, his initial target was the personal terminal, not you, right?"

"Yes, that's right. It's probably because the magic fluctuations of the personal terminal are more obvious."

...

"Did he use any other skills besides biting afterwards?"

"Probably not. The opponent is already very powerful with just biting. I also escaped death at that time." The girl shook her head.

The three asked in detail and kept discussing with each other.

"It seems that the other party has almost lost all his sanity, and his body has also collapsed a lot, and he has even dropped in rank."

"Well, the deceased had been in the Dragon Sequence 4 for nearly 30 years before he died. The ability to send, receive and use should have become instinctive, so he shouldn't be so weak." "

When he was young, he also won a place in the inter-school competition, but later he suffered a big blow and didn't continue."

Listening to the judgments of several people, Heshia felt that the other party might have underestimated her, but she didn't care about such things.

Unlike those classmates who like to compete for the top few and love to be in the limelight, Heshia has been accustomed to staying in the corner, and even likes this quiet and lonely feeling. No one will bother her, and there will be no conflicts and interruptions.

After finishing her meal, she held the drink cup and drank slowly, and her mind unconsciously recalled the scenes in the school before.

Just like today when she went to pick up Lisa, she also grew up with many friends at that time. Unfortunately, some of her friends later followed their parents to other places, and some went to different schools and gradually became strangers.

Clara had always been in the same class with her, but they were the kind of people who had always known each other but were never particularly familiar with each other.

In elementary school, Clara was a little shy and didn't like to talk, and her face was a little chubby, but now it's hard to see...

"Then I'll trouble Miss Heshia to come here today." After asking for the information they wanted to know, the three stood up and were about to leave.

"Well, it's okay."

After paying the bill, Luther trotted over again, "Leave me your contact information, Heshia, maybe we can help each other in the future."

"Okay."

Finally, after several years of obtaining a personal terminal, the number of people in Heshia's address book exceeded ten.

Thanks to This is all an illusion, Xiao Qingji's great victory for their strong support.
