She stood in the bloody rain that would eventually stop
Abandoned baby towers, also known as baby girl towers, are usually built in remote wilderness areas far away from human habitation, under the pretext of "providing a resting place for babies."
The tower is about half a meter high, with only ventilation holes at the top. Insects breed inside the tower, snakes and rats run rampant, and the sound of crying is endless.
Out of the instinct for survival, the surviving children will try to climb up by stepping on the corpses. In order to prevent the children from climbing out of the vents, the tower is built higher and higher.
The tower for abandoned babies is burned every three days, regardless of whether the babies are dead or alive.
Every drop of blood rain is an abandoned baby. These tiny souls, which are not strong enough to form a monster individually, gather together and condense into a bloody rainstorm. With the desire to climb upwards in their lifetime, they form the rule of "going with the flow" and want to fly high into the sky.
Ji Yunding raised his head, looked at the blue sky made up of beautiful souls, and then walked into the blood rain that was about to burn out.
She heard the children let her pass, without any malice.
In the bloody rain that was about to end, in the blazing fire, Ji Yunding looked up at the creatures that were gradually moving away.
"In the next life..."
Besides the bloodstains, there were also blue star-like lights falling on Ji Yunding's body.
it hurts.
It was similar to the pain of body training, but at that time Ji Yunding felt that the pain was only on the outside. This time, Ji Yunding felt that his body was like soaking in a hot spring, and the pain was directly felt in a place deeper than the internal organs.
The rainstorm will eventually stop. Ji Yunding stood here, enduring the pain that felt like an overwhelming sea.
Some people came, a huge crowd of about three or four hundred people, probably from the research group. They looked at Ji Yunding, who was covered in blood, and didn't know whether they should go forward.
"You guys, have you come here specially to celebrate my victory?"
The oath warlock and the oath have a mutually influential relationship. At this moment, Ji Yunding couldn't help but want to say this slightly provocative remark.
Immediately, Ji Yunding felt a black screen in front of his eyes and fell forward.
An unknown amount of time had passed. When he was about to wake up from a daze, Ji Yunding heard many people around him talking in low voices.
"Is she the legendary monster newcomer who ranked first in this year's entrance exam?"
"Yes, the boss originally didn't recruit people from the school to the first group, at most to the subordinate group, but this year he actually signed two, one for first place and one for second place."
"Wait, this kid is from school? Then doesn't she have only been in the industry for half a year?"
"Just be thankful that you eat a few more bowls of rice than her, otherwise it will be your turn to call her senior."
As soon as Ji Yunding opened his eyes, he was startled by the strangers surrounding him.
"Don't be nervous, we are all in the same group." Ji Liuxing breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Ji Yunding waking up.
"Team Leader, my friend..."
"Don't worry, the three ordinary people with you have no external injuries and are going through the standard negative energy physical examination. The other two investigators have been picked up by Group 16. You have the most serious problem."
His life energy was extremely disordered, and for some reason he could not receive psychic treatment, which scared the medical team. Fortunately, Ji Yunding calmed down after a while.
Extremely chaotic life energy... that's the gift.
Ji Yunding was about to explain, but then he shut up again.
Ji Liuxing must have many tricks that others don't know about. So, if you want to become the strongest final imaginary enemy, you have to start collecting some secret weapons from now on.
On this basis, you need to learn how to use psychic energy... and then ask Sister Tang for help.
But before that, there is one more important thing.
"Team leader, calculate my performance!"
Everyone around was silent for a moment, and then burst into laughter that echoed throughout the infirmary.
"Boss, hurry up and help our new monster." The person next to Ji Liuxing wiped the tears from laughing and patted Ji Liuxing on the shoulder.
"Don't just sit there, go peel an apple for classmate Ji Yunding."
Ji Liuxing teased while casually picking up the apple stem from the fruit basket at the bedside and handed it over. The man took it and gestured, then pinched the apple stem and shaved off the thin skin like a show of skill, then handed it to Ji Yunding with a smile.
Ji Yunding tilted his head, feeling that everyone seemed very happy.
"Okay, let's get serious. Ji Yunding, there's probably a whole street of reporters waiting to interview you. Do you want to be interviewed?"
"Ah?" Ji Yunding was stunned for a moment, then he came to his senses and remembered what Zhang Ningyi had said before.
It seemed like she had done something truly remarkable.
“Is there any money for the interview?”
"No."
"Then I don't want to go." Ji Yunding lost interest instantly, "I don't want to work overtime for free."
Ji Yunding was somewhat resistant to the fanatical pursuit and unbridled insults in the online world, and had no interest in so-called "fame". He didn't want to go if there was no money to be made.
However, in the industry, the nickname "the new monster who is obsessed with the five social insurances and one housing fund" has long been widely circulated. After today, I don't know how many people will talk about it.
Even though most of the people in the group had been exploring alternate dimensions before, most of them were meeting Ji Yunding for the first time and had no idea about her personality, but they had heard about her stories a long time ago.
"That little bit of money is nothing. Boss, how do you calculate the performance of eliminating weather anomalies?"
"I don't know. It depends on what the government says. I think it will start at eight figures. I think the funding for all research groups will increase as well next year."
The people around were a little shocked, but not to the point of being extremely envious - investigators, especially those at the top, were not short of money at all, and this level of communication was quite casual.
Ji Yunding observed the attitudes of the people around him and felt slightly relieved.
"Team leader, regarding this money...I would like to ask the research team for a favor."
"What's wrong? Is there anything you can't buy?" Ji Liuxing was a little surprised, and then he noticed that Ji Yunding was in a low mood.
"This matter involves the truth about Blood Rain." Ji Yunding looked at Ji Liuxing seriously, "But Team Leader, I don't know if I can tell you."
Ji Liuxing immediately understood that Ji Yunding probably thought that this matter might cause him to break his oath.
"It's okay, just say what you want to say."
So Ji Yunding told the last story exactly as it happened, including the "last words" of the strange entity.
Listening to the scene described by Ji Yunding, even the members of the group who dealt with all kinds of weird things every day couldn't help but frown.
Ji Liuxing listened quietly and sighed.
Core desires are the essence of the weirdness, something that the weirdness cannot get rid of, and only by killing them can the soul trapped in the weirdness's body be freed.
Ji Liuxing has always believed this, and it still holds true now.
Seeing that Ji Liuxing didn't look like he was going to break his oath, Ji Yunding continued, "So, I want to donate money to build an orphanage to adopt abandoned babies. I hope those children can survive in the next life and see this world."
Like her, able to step into the light.
Follow Zheng Nuo's teachings - since there is an afterlife, we must make this world more comfortable.
"During the entrance exam, isn't a person's character tested? I want a list of people who have good character but are not suitable for the job of investigator. I should be able to afford a good salary now. This can also help them buffer a little before entering society or retaking the exam.
In addition, when seniors go on business trips to mountain villages, rural areas, or remote areas and find abandoned babies, they usually send them to local welfare homes. In some underdeveloped areas, welfare homes probably don’t have sufficient funds. If it is convenient, I would like to ask them to bring these abandoned babies back.”
Ji Yunding spoke her thoughts while thinking. There was nothing wrong with talking about other things, but there was only one thing she didn't know whether she should say it or not.
"...Also, I want to write down the cause of the bloody rain and send it to the government mailbox so that the government can take action to eliminate the weirdness from the root. If possible, I would like to trouble the team leader and seniors to ask if there are people in the research team who are willing to sign a joint letter."
In the adult world, signatures are very important. It's fine to say it verbally, but once written or visual evidence is left, things become very different.
However, the situation here is probably slightly different from what Ji Yunding knows.
"Okay, then I'll write it. If you don't make corrections, I'll go on annual leave." Ji Liuxing smiled, "I've saved up about... almost eight months of annual leave."
"Team Leader, this is a joint letter, not a threatening letter."
"Does it make a difference? Classmate Ji Yunding, you need to be more confident. The world will really stop moving without our group now."
Ji Liuxing pointed at the group of people behind him, not caring at all.
"As long as it doesn't hurt innocent people, there's nothing a group of people can't do."
"Your name is Ji Yunding, right?" The woman who had been indifferent and unresponsive suddenly spoke, "My name is Wei Qianqiu. I have to go back to the other dimension in half a day, so I may not be able to make it in time. This is my seal."
"Ji Yunding, I'm Ji Changsheng, you're from the same family. I'm also giving you my seal. When you're done using it, just ask the boss to send it back to us." The man who had just peeled the apple spoke up.
Ji Liuxing shook his head and cursed with a smile: "Hey, you really think I'm a handyman. Forget it, you guys chat first, I'll go deal with the people from the government outside. Classmate Ji Yunding, take it easy."
"Take it easy?"
"I'll come back and see if these guys are going to overthrow me just for you." Ji Liuxing stood up and walked out. "Take it easy and don't let them like you too much. Give me some face."
Ji Yunding always felt that this regular job was completely different from what she had imagined and understood.
"I thought that working in the system meant that everyone did their own thing, and then socialized and got along well..."
"Ah, that's probably the general rule."
A lively sister who looked to be in her late twenties answered,
"But we are former marginalized people, and we can't do things like socializing. By the way, I'll give you my seal, too. My name is Lin Shu. Speaking of which, your classmate, the little girl named Zheng Nuo, has been assigned by the boss to liaise with the administration. Why don't you ask her to draft a joint letter?"
"Nunuo?" Ji Yunding was stunned, because she had never heard Zheng Nuo talk about this before, but when she thought about it carefully, Zheng Nuo had always been like this.
First make a name for yourself, then simply say "I did some work".
"Yeah, I've seen her arguing with those guys before, it was quite intense. I don't really understand it either, but the contact person over there has inexplicably been much nicer to us recently, and we've been much more relaxed when delivering tasks."
"By the way... does 'boss' refer to the team leader?"
"If we win, we will be the boss, even if we are young. By the way, was it your ability that caused such a big battle over there?"
"Yes." Ji Yunding answered honestly, without explaining that his abilities could change at any time.
A sworn warlock needs to learn to be cunning, and she learned it.
"Then maybe we can win! When are you going to fight the boss?"
Everyone present looked like they were enjoying the fun. The reason for this was that everyone here had fought with Ji Liuxing before, and it was also a regular part of their group.
"No, 'maybe I can win' won't work. That doesn't make me the 'strongest'." Ji Yunding shook his head. "When I can beat the team leader a thousand times, ten thousand times, no matter how many times, I will make him convinced."
Even though it was arrogant, even though he might be disliked, Ji Yunding had to say this.
She would follow through on her vow.
