The Record of Unusual Creatures

Chapter 19 Contract

Hao Ren has a dream.

He hopes to become a knight, possess power that no one else can, walk the world, eradicate violence and protect the people, defend the world without fear of the powerful, be grateful to thousands of people, and stand as a great hero in the world.

Oh, he was nine years old that year - it was a long time ago, and at that time, the "four directions" in his mind were still limited to the two blocks surrounding the southern suburbs primary school, and the upper limit of his power was his class teacher.

In the past two years, Hao Ren's ambition has become a reality like most people's: strive to have an above-average income every month, marry an above-average wife, and have one or two above-average children. I already have children and a house, so there is no need to worry. The above is everything in life - up to this moment.

Now that the turning point in his life is close at hand, Hao Ren feels that he can almost see a completely different future in front of him. He looks at the woman in front of him who claims to be a god but is not normal no matter how he looks, and nods vigorously: "Okay. I promise you."

There was no surprise on Raven 12345's face, as if she was used to this kind of scene, and she already knew how Hao Ren would answer. She just nodded: "Well, from today on, you will be a junior trainee examiner of the Space and Time Administration. You will be promoted to a regular employee." Previously, the salary for temporary workers at the apprentice level outside the establishment was..."

Hao Ren: "...Please don't go into such details. I finally mustered up the courage, okay?"

Raven 12345 seemed to smile. She could see that Hao Ren was still a little nervous and confused: "Don't worry, we are not an evil force. We are maintaining world peace. Listen to what a noble cause I have in other worlds. Looking for an assistant, the local people came in overwhelming numbers, but here on Earth you have already entered the stage of godless development, and visually it is developing quite fast, so I have not intervened. Now even if I find an assistant, I can only keep a low profile. Don't feel that your work is not visible just because of this..."

Hao Ren muttered: "Why don't you sound like a god to me? Is that what a god is?"

"Hey, don't talk about you, I'm not used to it," Raven 12345 waved his hand and said in a carefree tone that made Hao Ren stunned. "We also changed our household registration a few years ago, and we didn't call God before. By the way, you If you are not used to this term, you can call us Xiling Apostles. This is our racial name, and God is just our job."

"Xiling Apostle?" Hao Ren chewed on this strange-sounding term, "It doesn't sound like a human being... Then how should I usually call you? Your Majesty the Goddess Temple?"

Hao Ren suddenly felt a little bit dumbfounded. This woman claimed to be a member of the gods, so he might really have to call her a goddess, but why couldn't he feel it at all? Hao Ren felt that the atmosphere when chatting with Raven 12345 was almost the same as when he was chatting with the big sister from the small supermarket in the street. Is this the goddess?

You old man, don't tell me to light up the light behind your back. Can you at least stop picking your fingers when you talk?

Raven 12345 seemed even less concerned about this question. She nodded to Hao Ren while playing with her fingers: "I'm not used to calling me that. Just call me by my name, or call me 12345."

Hao Ren: "...it doesn't feel like a person's name anymore..."

Next, Raven 12345 began to explain the details of his future "job" to Hao Ren. In fact, there was nothing to say. He just continued to receive those strange tenants. Since there was already a werewolf and a vampire at home, Hao Ren thought that It can also deal with more problems with abnormal creatures - as long as the new guy is as easy to talk to as the two currently at home.

"Don't worry about this," Raven 12345 assured, patting her chest. "We are very concerned about the lives of our employees and will not let you fall into a dangerous environment. The people we send to you are all people who have passed some kind of 'test'. To ensure safety and reliability, you just need to let them eat, drink and live well, and don't affect normal people's lives. This is your current job. Other people are responsible for other things and you don't have to worry about it for the time being. As for other situations...in the future Let’s talk about it after you meet it. Are there any other questions?”

Hao Ren hesitated but asked what he was most concerned about: "Then what...what happened to Lily? Is it really not your arrangement?"

"No, I've said it before. Only the new tenants who come to your house in the future are the result of organizational arrangements. That werewolf... you can think of it as fate. It's precisely because she came to you, and you seem to be so concerned about it. You are also very adaptable, and that’s why I chose you. Most people don’t have such a strong ability to accept, and I just need someone with a strong outlook on life who can withstand this kind of impact as an assistant. "

"I only need to arrange the lives of those 'clients' in the future. So how should I judge this 'arrangement'? Is this what the ancestors provide?"

"No, as long as they don't cause trouble, the ultimate goal of all tasks is to allow human civilization to develop as usual. Human beings do not need to be exposed to things that are inconsistent with their current development direction, because these things will cause them to misunderstand the laws of their own universe. We all know that human beings have a short lifespan. This short lifespan leads to misunderstandings in one or two generations, which may destroy hundreds of years of development achievements and have equally far-reaching future impacts later - I judge based on your expression. You should have already started to get confused, so I’ll skip the next explanation,” Raven 12345 said while taking out a stack of paper from the desk, “In short, you are only a grassroots employee now, and a temporary worker at that. , you can’t know something that is too complicated, and even if you know it, you can’t handle it. I will tell you more when the time is right. Please don’t worry, I have no ill intentions, because there is no need. Come here and sign the contract now... …”

Hao Ren felt that the other party was hiding many things from him, but there was nothing he could do about it. Although Raven 12345 was easy to talk to, she seemed to be very principled and would never say anything she shouldn't. And Hao Ren himself also knew that some Don't rush things. It's better to be cautious when you don't know anything.

Hao Ren vaguely felt like he was on a pirate ship, but he didn't have the courage to jump off the ship - he was sure he couldn't defeat any creature in this place, including the fog-like thing just now.

Now Hao Ren looked at the contract in front of him and fell into a daze. The text on the contract was quite easy to understand, but the content was confusing. The title was "Xiling Empire Space-Time Administration Trainee Examiner Entry Agreement", and the subtitle below It says "Xiling Divine Family Franchise Agreement", the real subtitle below the subtitle reads "Related Documents for Temporary Workers of the Imperial Civil Affairs Department", and further down there is a line of words written in small regular script that I don't know if it counts as the title: Chapter 1 One hundred and six times of revision, reprinting, and reprinting, the final version will never be revised, even if the Imperial Mistress orders it, no further revisions are allowed - the Imperial Head of State's handwriting, all offices will strictly abide by it.

Further down is the text of the contract, which contains some employee instructions and attendance systems in an easy-to-understand manner. It says that after new employees join the job, they are equivalent to regional-level saints/regional-level bishop candidates/regional-level prophets/regional-level street cadres/ There are a lot of identities such as regional police officers and so on. The following remarks indicate that this is based on the civilized form of the new employee, and is something indicated to facilitate the new employee to accurately position himself.

What follows is a welfare system that even destroys the three outlooks. The supreme god of the Xiling God system clearly stipulates that new prosecutors who convert to the local god (converted to some civilization systems are prophets, the first awakening inspiration in the race) (person) enjoys employee benefits, including rice, flour, grains and oils during the holidays, New Year’s goods, and monthly consumption card subsidies. The above benefits are arranged by the local responsible god according to the different civilized environment...

Hao Ren burst into tears looking at the contract. He vaguely felt that this thing looked familiar, quite familiar...

"How's it going? Our company has good benefits, right?" Raven 12345 came over nervously, "I know you didn't have the nerve to ask about the treatment in our company just now. I've met a lot of people over the years, and most of the newcomers are very strange. , as if they always feel that working for God means voluntary labor, but our company will definitely not do this. This contract was drawn up by several experienced leaders above, and it is said to be more in line with the rules of the mortal world. Look at Why don’t you just sign it if you don’t have any objections?”

Hao Ren: "..."

He decided that he would never believe in TV or novels again in his life!

(First update =. = Lots of recommendation votes! I feel like I still have some hope of ranking second on the new book list! In addition, everyone should go to Xiling Empire to vote for this book. It’s free voting anyway.)
