Chapter 11 Recruitment

Zuoqiuyue looked at Xu Nian calmly, but she was very nervous.

Since the Goddess of Glory built the Wall of Holy Sword to preserve the last fire of mankind, humans have been able to continue their civilization and survive within the city walls, but the impact of the "Devil's Call" incident on humans has not stopped. There are still humans or livestock within the city walls whose souls are negatively unlocked under the erosion of mysterious energy and become distorted monsters.

Under this circumstance, the Goddess of Glory ordered the establishment of the Sunset Psychiatric Hospital with a transcendent status before she fell asleep. One is to eradicate these monsters that endanger human safety, and the other is to gather and supervise those humans whose souls are positively unlocked under the erosion of mysterious energy, that is, pioneers.

Pioneers, the forerunners of the road of human evolution.

Zuoqiuyue is one of them, but because of her ability, she is only an auxiliary type, not a combat type, so she is just an employee of the Human Resources Department of the Sunset Psychiatric Hospital, not a member of the action team responsible for combat.

Her job is very simple. When there is a mission, she follows the instructions of the hospital to do some auxiliary work in the rear. When there is no mission, she can live a peaceful life in any identity. The only purpose is to find the pioneers who have not been discovered by the hospital.

It sounds like a very good job, but she is very frustrated.

It is mainly her selfishness. Since her father's abnormal death, she has been constantly changing her surface jobs. She has worked in KTV, bars, and even the underworld. She has done it all, just to find the pioneers who can help her find the murderer. But for so many years, let alone the pioneers who have not been discovered by the hospital, she has not found out any of the pioneers who have been recruited by the hospital.

The only executioner team leader with sequence three who she has met once, because she is not familiar with him, she does not have the courage to ask for help from the other party.

But now it is different. After she confirmed that her ability is ineffective against Xu Nian, she is simply ecstatic and feels like she is about to burst into tears, just like buying lottery tickets for several years in a row, and suddenly found out that she won the prize.

Moreover, through the conversation just now, she confirmed that Xu Nian knew nothing about the pioneers, which made her even happier, because the more ignorant the other party was, the more confident she was that he would become her helper.

As for whether the other party would join the academy, to be honest, it would be the best if he could join, and she would have done her duty, but in case, she was also prepared to conceal his identity for him.

"Mr. Xu, what do you think? To be honest, the treatment for joining us is very good, and it will not have any impact on your life."

Seeing that Xu Nian was still in deep thought, Zuo Qiuyue could not help but persuade him.

Xu Nian glanced at her and said lightly: "What if I refuse?"

Zuo Qiuyue's heart tightened, and he hesitated slightly, and said softly: "Mr. Xu Nian, this is inside the city wall, do you think you can really refuse?"

Xu Nian was stunned, then smiled and stretched out his hand: "I'm happy to join you."

"Huh?"

Zuo Qiuyue did not react for a while.

Xu Nian blinked and smiled, "What? Don't agree?"

"No, no, no" Zuo Qiuyue stood up with a happy face and held Xu Nian's hand, and said excitedly: "I didn't expect you to be so easy to talk to."

She had heard from colleagues in the Human Resources Department that recruiting a pioneer was actually a very difficult and dangerous job. If it was not handled properly, it might be life-threatening.

So, when Xu Nian refused just now, she was actually very scared and wanted to say that I could help you conceal your identity, but in the end, she decided to persuade him again, so that she could do her job well.

As a result, Xu Nian readily agreed, which naturally made her ecstatic and achieved the most perfect ending.

In this way, she didn't have to risk hiding for Xu Nian, and she also met a pioneer who had just joined the hospital. Finally, she took the most critical first step on the road to finding help for herself.

"Officer Zuo, Officer Zuo"

Xu Nian noticed that Zuo Qiuyue was holding his hand and kept looking at him and smiling foolishly, and couldn't help frowning.

Although I am handsome, you don't have to be so crazy, right?

"Oh, Mr. Xu, just call me Qiu Yue."

Zuo Qiu Yue came back to her senses and found that she was still holding Xu Nian's hand. She immediately let go with a red face and stammered to Xu Nian to sit down.

"Well, Qiu Yue, you don't have to be so polite, just call me Xu Nian."

Xu Nian now has a preliminary judgment of the character of the police officer Zuo in front of him. Although he thinks that the other party has some problems with his IQ, he is still quite cute overall.

At least, his tense heart has completely relaxed at this moment.

"Okay, Xu Nian, since you are willing to join us, then things will be easy. When I go back and submit a report, the hospital will conduct a formal test on you."

Zuo Qiu Yue also relaxed a lot under Xu Nian's warm smile and regained her cold and elegant appearance.

Xu Nian frowned and asked, "Do we need another test?"

"Yes." Zuo Qiuyue was worried that Xu Nian might misunderstand, so she explained, "Pioneers are assigned to different departments because of their different abilities. For example, although I am also a pioneer, my ability is auxiliary, so I am assigned to the Human Resources Department. The academy also has multiple departments such as the Logistics Department, Intelligence Department, Research Institute, Special Operations Group, Lone Warrior, and Sword Holder. The academy will professionally assign work to each pioneer based on their abilities, personality, and requirements."

"Well, I understand what you mean by logistics department, research institute, etc., but what about the solitary hero and sword bearer? Is this a department?"

Not only Xu Nian was amazed, but also his son on his shoulder listened with interest.

Zuo Qiuyue rolled his eyes and continued: "The solitary hero is a department, but also a title. They are pioneers with rare, special and powerful abilities. They either have unknown abilities or are extremely rare special abilities. Each of them has its own exclusive serial number. They usually don't go on missions, and when they do, they are alone, so they are also called lonely heroes."

Xu Nian nodded thoughtfully.

The woman named Yu Man appeared in his mind.

She is the so-called solitary hero, right?

"Then there is the Sword Holder, who is actually the guardian of each city and the strongest person in each city within the city wall."

Xu Nian's heart tightened, and he narrowed his eyes and said, "Who is the Sword Holder of Rongcheng?"

"I don't know." Zuo Qiuyue couldn't help but sighed when she said this, "The identity of each pioneer in the courtyard is extremely confidential. Except for the eldest lady, basically no one knows who else."

"Eldest lady?"

Xu Nian heard a strange name again and instinctively raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, eldest lady." Zuo Qiuyue seemed to think of something and unconsciously lowered her voice, "Eldest lady is just her title. In fact, few people know what her last name, name, and appearance are, but..."

After a pause, her voice was lowered even lower: "We all guess that the eldest lady is probably the Sword Holder of our Rongcheng."
