Chapter 50 Critical Region (2)
Bai Ye looked at the young man in front of him, but had no memory of him and didn't know who he was or what his name was.
Judging from the other person's tone, they must be a colleague.
So he nodded and mumbled, "Thank you for the leave, Captain. I was hit pretty hard, and it still hurts a lot."
"How could it not hurt? Without a weapon, you can't touch those things on the Three Great Paths. You're lucky. If you had been smashed to pieces, it would have taken a lot of effort to pick up your body parts. If some parts couldn't be found and couldn't be pieced together, you would be crippled."
At this point, the young man sighed again: "Old Li was just like that, no sense of self-awareness, always trying to be a hero, got hit by a car and lost 300 yuan overnight, couldn't even find his last finger, and could only switch to an office job..."
Bai Ye chatted with the young man for a while, then pretended to have a headache and went to sleep.
Once everyone left, he opened his eyes again and began to consider the information he currently had.
His name is Bai Ye. He entered the instance world himself, but he has no memory of it.
The person who just visited him at the hospital was a colleague named Shang Cai. They belong to a small team, and the team leader's name is currently unknown.
However, Shang Cai mentioned two individuals: one was Xiao Wang, who took over his shift, whose full name was Wang Shanshan; the other was Lao Li, who was also hit by a car while on night duty on the Third Avenue, whose full name was unknown.
However, Old Li seemed to be in a bad situation. He was smashed to pieces and couldn't recover all his body parts. In the end, he was transferred to an office job.
Three main roads?
Bai Ye recalled the scene from last night: a well-connected intersection with six lanes in both directions, where vehicles moved at extremely high speeds.
However, when Shang Cai talked about the three main roads, he used a very special reference to the drivers of passing vehicles: "that thing."
Considering his own condition, he was almost split in two but still survived...
Bai Ye couldn't help but wonder if there were any normal people in this small world?
After staying in the hospital for two days, Bai Ye was kicked out by the doctor and forcibly discharged.
"Doctor, I think I can lie down a little longer."
Bai Ye had the stitches removed from her waist this morning, and her upper and lower body were just connected. Is she already able to get up and move around?
He was very flustered.
The doctor lifted the blanket, reached out and pressed and rubbed Bai Ye's waist on the left and right sides, and then pulled him up and lay him down several times, all with a smile on his face.
He said, "Isn't it recovering quite well? The skin and flesh have all connected, and the internal organs are continuing to grow. After resting at home for three to five days, the severed intestines, heart, liver, and the like will have healed completely."
"My liver is ruptured?"
"It's okay if it's broken into three pieces, you can still use it by sewing it up. But if it's broken into a pile of tofu dregs, that would be troublesome, and we'd have to cultivate a new one for you."
"My intestines are ruptured too?"
"It's only broken into three or five pieces; it can still be used after some repairs."
Bai Ye was shocked.
These past two days I've just been lying in the hospital bed receiving IV drips, and I heard Shang Cai say that he almost broke in two, but I never imagined the internal damage was so great.
But then I thought about it again and it seemed normal.
This world is inherently abnormal.
Bai Ye accepted the fact that her body was so resilient. With the encouragement of the nurse, she sat up from the hospital bed, got out of bed, and personally went through the discharge procedures.
Fortunately, the discharge summary contained her home address, so Bai Ye flagged down a car at the hospital entrance and went straight home.
Enter your fingerprint, and the door will open.
Bai Ye wandered around the house, observing his own dwelling.
It's about 90 square meters, but the extra walls were knocked down to create a one-bedroom, one-living room layout.
The bedroom occupies half of the area and contains a large bed measuring 3 meters by 5 meters, along with a row of floor-to-ceiling wardrobes.
Moving to the living room, there's a huge sofa in the center, almost 5 meters long and wide enough for a person to roll around in a circle while lying down—it's practically a bed.
Besides that, there's a huge dining table, which might also be used as an office, since there are paper and pens on the table.
Bai Ye didn't see a kitchen in the room, but there was a bathroom, which was also very simple and showed little sign of life.
Finally, he sat on the oversized sofa bed and began reading the only notebook he had found in the bedroom.
[March 1st, I passed the exam and finally became an Order Keeper.]
On March 3rd, I reported to the General Affairs Office and was assigned to the Second Detachment. The captain was none other than Chang Sheng, whom I had heard of before—I was so lucky! The other colleagues were also very friendly.
[March 15th. There have been a lot of traffic accidents lately, and we seem to be short-staffed. All my colleagues in the Second Detachment are working overtime. I'm a newcomer still in my probationary period, so I can't participate, which is a pity.]
On April 1st, we were indeed short-staffed, and as an intern, I also had to work duty. Although I hadn't received formal training, I believed I could handle it. I heard that duty assignments are randomly selected; I wonder where I'll be assigned?
Bai Ye checked his phone; the date displayed was April 3rd.
In other words, the day he was hit was April 2nd, which was his first day on duty.
Oh no, it should be his first night on duty; he was assigned the night shift.
Bai Ye continued flipping through the pages and saw some personnel records, which were about his colleagues from the Second Detachment. He carefully read the contents and finally got a general idea of what was going on.
The holiday lasted five days in total; I spent two days in the hospital and three days resting at home.
On the sixth day, Bai Ye went to work.
Before this, he couldn't believe that his body could recover so well. In just five days, he was able to run and jump, just like an ordinary person.
General Affairs Office, Second Detachment Office.
As soon as Bai Ye entered, someone greeted him, "Xiao Bai, you're back. Are you feeling much better now?"
Bai Ye recalled her notes, recognized the other person, smiled and nodded, "Thank you for your concern, Sister Zhang, I'm fine now."
Zhang Ting nodded, picked up her water glass, and returned to her seat, which happened to be next to Bai Ye's.
So after sitting down, we started chatting again.
"Xiao Bai, the team is probably going to be punished this time."
"What?"
"The thing is that you started working without formal training, which is not allowed in principle. But we were busy recently and there was a real shortage of manpower, so the higher-ups tacitly agreed that it was permissible in principle. Pshaw! When it comes to principles, if there are no problems, then there's no problem. But once a problem occurs, the responsibility falls on the person in charge."
Zhang Ting looked up at the doorway, made sure no one was there, and leaned close to Bai Ye and whispered, "If something happens to you, the captain will be punished. He went to the higher-ups to make a self-criticism today."
Bai Ye opened his mouth as if to say something, but the other party interrupted him directly, "It has nothing to do with you. This is a blame you're taking for your superiors. Don't feel guilty."
At 9:30 a.m., Chang Sheng, the captain of the second detachment, returned.
His expression was serious, but there was no anger in it.
If Bai Ye hadn't known about the gossip from Zhang Ting, he wouldn't have believed that everyone who came back from making self-criticisms wouldn't be angry at all.
Chang Sheng had already seen Bai Ye and went over to ask, "How is your recovery going?"
Bai Ye immediately stood up. "Captain, I'm completely fine now."
"That's good." Chang Sheng nodded and handed over the documents. "Go to the training room this afternoon to report for this session of Order Keeper training. After you graduate, you can return to the team to report."
"Captain, why is there suddenly a training session? Isn't it supposed to be once every six months?" Zhang Ting asked, puzzled.
Chang Sheng: "It was a temporary organization, but we have enough people."
Zhang Ting understood; it seemed that other detachments were also being asked to send interns to participate in duty.
"If everyone gets punished together, it's the same as not getting punished at all," Zhang Ting muttered to herself.
Bai Ye, unaware of the intricacies involved, took the document and immediately began to read it, eager to understand what this so-called Order Keeper training actually entailed.
Unfortunately, the document is brief and does not provide detailed information.
During the lunch break, Bai Ye consulted with Zhang Ting, who was sitting next to him.
Zhang Ting leisurely sipped her tea. "This Order Keeper training is a seven-day grueling program. It aims to help interns quickly master duty methods, and most importantly, learn how to use weapons. But Xiaobai, if you want to get a weapon, you'll have to work hard during the training. Just passing the graduation test won't get you a weapon."
What would happen if we didn't have weapons?
"No weapons? Then you can't go on duty at the Three Great Paths. An Order Keeper who hasn't been trained at the Three Great Paths can't rise in rank."
As Zhang Ting spoke, she patted Bai Ye on the shoulder and said, "Young people should have drive and aim to be allocated weapons. I'm an office worker, so it doesn't matter to me."
The second team consists of five members, excluding the team leader Chang Sheng.
The team consists of Zhang Ting (official staff), Gou Xun (vice captain), Shang Cai and Wang Shanshan (team members), and Bai Ye (newly arrived intern).
Apart from Zhang Ting and Bai Ye, everyone else was equipped with weapons.
Bai Ye was very curious about the weapons of the Orderers and looked forward to the training to come. He also secretly resolved to work hard and strive for good results so that he could finally get the weapons.
In the afternoon, I went to the training room to report for duty.
When Bai Ye went in, there were already other people inside, all of whom looked very young and were probably interns from various detachments like him.
Instead of approaching him to strike up a conversation, he chose a corner seat and sat down to wait for the instructor.
At two o'clock, the instructors came in on time.
First, he called out names one by one, and then introduced himself: "My name is Liao Xianfeng, and I am your training instructor for this session. This training will last for seven days. The first two days will be spent learning the basic content related to the Order Guardians and duty methods. The last five days will be for practical training. Those who rank in the top ten will be assigned weapons."
After a pause, Liao Xianfeng added, "Of course, if you can't even meet the basic requirements, then I'm sorry, the job of an Orderkeeper is not suitable for you, and your internship ends here."
In other words, if you haven't completed your internship, you should just leave.
The dozens of interns whispered among themselves, all moved by the instructor's last words.
Everyone who gets in wants to be an order provider; nobody wants to leave. Failing the training is far worse than not being assigned weapons.
Bai Ye also kept one thing in mind: ensure he passed, and on that basis, strive for a top ten ranking.
Liao Xianfeng didn't waste any words; after his opening remarks, he immediately began the lesson.
"First, let's talk about the basics that an Order Keeper needs to master..."
The whole day of studying passed quickly, but there was no break in between, only an hour was allotted for meals.
While eating, Bai Ye made some notes:
I. Duty hours for security personnel: Day shift 6:00-18:00, Night shift 18:00-6:00, 12-hour shift, shift change.
2. During their duty, law enforcement officers may use yellow cards three times. If a yellow card is ineffective, weapons may be used.
Third, duty posts are selected by lottery, and those without weapons should not be included in the duty list for the three main roads.
Four,……
Bai Ye listed them one by one, and after organizing them, he had a clearer understanding of the situation.
As those who maintain order, they are themselves bizarre, upholding so-called order in a bizarre world.
Those "people" who drive around everywhere are called "things," and once those things make a mistake, the authorities need to intervene.
A yellow card warning is a reminder, but ultimately, it's about using weapons to eliminate those things.
