Chapter 17 Policy
The early morning sun shone on Chen Ling's face, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes...
"I'm back..." He rubbed his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief.
After he finished drawing the prize, he walked around the stage for a long time, but still couldn't find any exit. Finally, after the stage bell rang and the curtain opened, he returned automatically.
"The current expected value is 23%... I'm almost on the verge of death again." Chen Ling recalled the characters on the screen before leaving, muttering to himself, "I have to do something quickly..."
"Brother..."
The quilt was pulled open, Chen Yan rubbed his red eyes, and sat up from the bed, "Morning."
"Morning." Chen Ling glanced at the clock on the wall, took out the last few copper coins from his pocket, and handed them to Chen Yan, "I'm going out for a while, and I don't know what time I'll be back. You should eat something by yourself today..."
"Brother, where are you going?"
"To catch myself."
"......?"
Chen Ling put on a cotton coat, put the envelope given by the law enforcer yesterday into his arms, turned around and rubbed Chen Yan's head, "Don't ask too much about the details, just wait for me to come back at home, understand?"
"I understand." Chen Yan nodded obediently.
After watching Chen Ling leave, Chen Yan turned over and got out of bed, looking at the two big holes at the door of his house, and his brows frowned immediately.
"How should I fix this..."
He glanced at the few copper coins left in his hand, silently put them away, took out a heavy hammer and a wooden board from the house, and began to compare the sizes.
Just then, a figure appeared behind the big hole, which scared Chen Yan.
It was a man in a woolen coat, with a dark blue scarf around his collar and a pair of silver-rimmed glasses on his nose. He looked literary and wise.
But at this moment, he looked at the house with only two big holes in front of him, and confusion also appeared in his wise eyes...
He wanted to say something, but felt that it was very rude, so he tried to knock on the door, but he looked around the house and couldn't find the door.
He went back to the hole and looked inside.
"Are you okay?" Chen Yan tilted his head.
"Excuse me, is Mr. Chen Ling here?"
Hearing his brother's name, Chen Yan's eyes flashed with vigilance. He looked at the man for a few times and asked again, "Are you okay?"
The man took off his white gloves and took out a letter from his coat pocket. He spread the letter out and held it in his hand, and spoke calmly to the room:
"I heard that Mr. Chen needs a [doctor]."
"So, I'm here."
...
The cold wind poured in from his collar, making Chen Ling shiver.
"Where are you going, little brother? I'll give you a ride?" A thin, dark man dragged a rickshaw and hurriedly followed Chen Ling, grinning and revealing a row of yellow teeth.
Chen Ling glanced at him, "The Enforcer Headquarters."
"Then I know it well. I just sent two people over. You are all going to be the reserve seats, right? In this way, I think you are also destined to be together. I will charge them ten yuan and you seven yuan. Do you want to go?"
"... Forget it."
"Six yuan, six yuan, no less."
"I don't have any money."
"No money?" The man frowned, glanced at him a few times, and walked away with the rickshaw muttering, "What's the point of being an enforcer without money... unlucky."
Chen Ling:...?
Chen Ling thought that the quality of people in this world was really poor. He rubbed his frozen red hands and couldn't help but speed up his pace and walked towards the center of the third district.
Before last night, Chen Ling had been thinking about how to prevent the enforcers from finding clues and investigating him again... Now, he has the answer.
That is to become an enforcer.
Become an enforcer, participate in all actions to investigate the disaster, and then interfere with them so that they can never lock on to him.
"I become, I participate, I make trouble, I run away."
This is Chen Ling's current policy.
Chen Ling crossed several streets and finally stopped in front of a giant building that looked like a glazed dome.
"It's really impressive..." Chen Ling looked up at the dome and couldn't help but sigh, "How much funding does it take to get this?"
In this neighborhood full of two-story small earthen houses, the appearance of such a unique building is as conspicuous and abrupt as an art gallery suddenly built in the countryside in the previous life.
At this time, several young people also took the letter and hurried to the headquarters. They looked at each other, smiled politely and nodded.
There are about 70 people who have passed the literary test in the entire three districts. Generally speaking, the elimination rate of the martial arts test is also 50%, so only about 30 people can become law enforcers every year. Although this year's martial arts test has changed to this form, the final elimination rate will not change.
In short, everyone who walks into this building now is actually a potential competitor.
Chen Ling walked into the headquarters gate. Under the glass dome, several rows of people were already standing neatly.
Like Chen Ling, these people were wearing ordinary people's clothes. At this moment, they were lined up in rows of ten, each with their head held high and their chests puffed out. Every muscle in their body was tightly tensed, and they looked like warriors waiting to be called at any time.
Chen Ling came late and could only stand at the edge of the last row. After he returned to his seat, an enforcer glanced at the list and nodded slightly.
"Everyone is here."
Another enforcer picked up the prepared speech and was about to speak when the door of the headquarters was pushed open and two figures walked slowly.
Han Meng threw the burnt cigarette butt under his feet and crushed it. The four silver lines on his black windbreaker glittered. He looked calmly at all the reserve seats, and an inexplicable sense of oppression instantly enveloped everyone's heart...
Except Chen Ling.
Chen Ling raised his eyebrows in surprise, and his eyes subconsciously fell on the back of Han Meng's head...
I hit him so hard yesterday, and he recovered today?
Is this guy so stubborn?
"It's Han Meng!"
"It's really him... He's here too?"
"Who is Han Meng?"
"The chief law enforcement officer of our three districts, and the only four-mark law enforcement officer in the three districts."
"It is said that he is a super genius, who was promoted to four-mark at the age of 24. He even crushed all the law enforcement officers of the same period in Aurora City... He is the light of our seven districts!"
"Crushed the law enforcement officers of the same period in Aurora City? Is it true? If he is so awesome, why was he not absorbed into Aurora City?"
"I don't know... It is said that he has a grudge with a big shot in Aurora City."
"I heard that he is very good at fighting. My mother likes him very much."
"... How old is your mother this year?"
"Almost fifty."
"..."
With the appearance of Han Meng, the people in the reserve seat suddenly whispered, and even the many law enforcement officers on the side subconsciously straightened their backs and looked serious.
Han Meng stood under the dome, and suddenly felt a chill on the back of his head, as if someone was examining his weaknesses...
He subconsciously looked back and found that a group of reserve seats were quietly looking at him.
After meeting Han Meng's eyes, all the reserve seats lowered their heads and dared not discuss anymore. The entire headquarters was extremely quiet.
"My name is Han Meng, and I am the current highest commander of District 3." Han Meng adjusted his mentality and slowly spoke, "The next three days will be your martial arts test. Among the 72 of you, only 30 people will be able to stay in the end..."
30 people... lower than the expected pass rate. Chen Ling was thoughtful.
This ratio also surprised the other reserve seats. They couldn't help but communicate again, with puzzlement in their eyes.
"However, among these 30 people, 3 people will be qualified to enter the 'Ancient Collection of Military Dao' in advance..."
When Han Meng said this, the entire headquarters fell into an uproar, and even the law enforcers standing aside widened their eyes.
Chen Ling didn't understand.
Among the many people in the reserve seats, more than half did not understand.
Seeing this, Han Meng slowly explained: "Do you know the difference between law enforcers and law enforcement officers?"
