Chapter 706 World 241
Chapter 706 World 241
Rong Jin pondered for a moment: "Perhaps Zhao was not lying to you back then. Your later encounters with Zhao Tianbao and your involvement in the red shoes incident may be another form of proof."
The people present all showed expressions of understanding.
Even Shen Ruyin realized it, "Yes, how could it be impossible?"
The matter of that guesthouse was spearheaded by Qi Chengyun and his group, and Zhao Tianbao's matter was also related to them.
In the absence of any normal interaction between the male and female protagonists, the vengeful ghosts would likely eliminate all traces of them and eradicate any ordinary people who might reveal their existence.
Perhaps that's why, after Zhao Tianbao's attempt to harm Yin Yin failed, Number 1 repeatedly tried to test her until he was certain that she was "real" unable to see ghosts and that she had defensive treasures on her body before he stopped.
Perhaps at that time, Number 1 attributed her survival to the bracelet she had hastily made that could burn his hand.
After all, Zhao Manrou was wearing something that could control ghosts, so it wouldn't be surprising if Shen Ruyin had another useful but less effective treasure than Zhao Manrou's family heirloom, would it?
Of course, all of this is based on the premise that Zhao Manrou did not tell Qi Chengyun the true origin of the bracelet, or that Qi Chengyun concealed it and did not let Number 1 know.
Having heard Rong Jin's conjecture, Ke Xue said nothing more.
He just happens to encounter strange things, always managing to appear at various crime scenes by sheer coincidence and capture all sorts of criminal records.
His employee, Shen Ruyin, almost became a victim!
“Boss,” Ke Xue said, “we’re going to sign Yin Yin today anyway, so let’s get her some employee benefits from our second team.”
"That vengeful ghost was able to harm Yin Yin once, who knows if it will do it a second or third time."
"If we get some talismans to ward off evil spirits and bring good fortune, everyone will feel at ease, don't you think?"
"Boss, you're so kind," Shen Ruyin's eyes lit up, and she turned to ask, "Boss, are these kinds of treasures expensive? Can we buy them? I want to get one for my parents too."
“I’ll give it to you tomorrow,” Rong Jin said. “You’re my team member, so your family can naturally enjoy your employee benefits too. You don’t need to buy it.”
Shen Ruyin smiled sweetly and made a big heart shape with her hands above her head: "Thank you, boss, love you!"
Ke Xue retorted, "I was the one who suggested it, so why didn't I make a heart shape with my hands?"
Shen Ruyin cleared her throat: "Boss, please understand, I quite like the boss's type of handsome guy."
"I have a slight preference for my current crush."
"But I like you a lot too, you're my boss!"
"Whether my college life is good or not depends on you half of it!"
Ke Xue's lips twitched: "We're colleagues now, and you still expect me to pay you?"
“That’s not how it works,” Shen Ruyin immediately pulled out a photo of the contract from her phone. “Boss, we are legally bound together. Or are you planning to terminate the contract with me early?”
Brother Wang, always eager for drama, chimed in, "Let me add something: under normal circumstances, the Special Affairs Bureau's connections don't affect your private employment relationship, except when you're on a mission!"
Ke Xue couldn't help but roll his eyes at Brother Wang: "Who said I was going to terminate my contract with you?"
“Now that you’re my colleague, you’re in the same boat as me. If I encounter any special situations in the future, I won’t need to make up excuses or edit the screen recording before sending it to you. It’ll save me a lot of trouble.”
"However, the contract terms will remain the same as before. At least the account 'Science Taoist' absolutely believes in science."
Rong Jin also spoke up, saying, "Some strange events in this world are caused by human beings."
"When too many people believe in these things, or when too much collective willpower is gathered, things that shouldn't exist will exist and possess great power."
"So now the Special Affairs Bureau, and even the official authorities, are cooperating with that Ke Xue account in the hope of eliminating as many things as possible that should not have appeared."
"While these things have their good and bad aspects, it is undeniable that whenever a strange event occurs, it is often accompanied by the death of a person."
"Among these people, there are those who are guilty and deserve their punishment, but most are ordinary people who should have lived to be a hundred years old."
Rong Jin lowered his eyelids: "Our goal as the Second Team of the Special Affairs Bureau is not to outwit and kill these things after they have grown up, but to eliminate them at the source with the least cost and the fewest number of people harmed."
"If your ideas don't align with ours, it's best to bring them up now."
“How could we not agree?” Shen Ruyin felt that she and the second team shared the same views. “This is much more difficult than directly starting a fight, isn’t it?”
Shen Ruyin looked around: "Where's the agreement?"
Rong Jin gave her a training agreement, which only stated the Special Affairs Bureau's training obligations to her, but did not stipulate what she had to do.
Shen Ruyin was puzzled after reading it: "Is the Special Affairs Bureau doing charity work?"
“Of course not,” Brother Wang said. “There are other tests to become a formal member of the Special Affairs Bureau.”
“Yinyin, you haven’t been exposed to this kind of thing before, so you definitely won’t pass that kind of test. And…”
Brother Wang glanced at Rong Jin.
Rong Jin clasped his hands together: "All the conditions I'm giving you will remain the same, but I will announce that you are a reserve member being trained by the second team."
"Without being officially employed by the Special Affairs Bureau, you are not required to follow their orders."
"As for when your training will be completed and you will be able to take the Special Affairs Bureau's assessment, that's up to us."
Wow! Shen Ruyin thought that Rong Jin's words were incredibly domineering and showed the demeanor of a true leader.
Moreover, it made her like it even more, since the words coming out of his mouth were all things she wanted to hear.
Ke Xue added in a low voice, "If you're not a formal member of the Special Affairs Bureau, you don't have to obey orders from above and can go on field missions at any time."
"The boss knows what's going on, and the second team won't assign us any difficult fieldwork. It's usually related to publicity."
Shen Ruyin signed the agreement, which only benefited her.
"By the way, can you tell my parents that I've already secured a permanent position even before I've started university?"
