"Are you sure this is really the city hall? It's not something more threatening, for example."

Lan Mengqi pointed her fingers and argued for a long time, but she couldn't come up with an appropriate adjective to describe the pile in front of her.

It’s not surprising that she was speechless. This was the first time she saw a common problem among outsiders at the Bailu District City Hall in the Fourth Ring Road. Anyone who sees this circle of illegal buildings can’t associate it with the government’s order, norms, and laws.

Contact the general office.

"For example, Demon King's Cave or Dragon Cave? In the questionnaire three years ago, when it came to the impression of the district city hall, the second and third answers were these two."

"Second and third? What about first?"

"Garbage dump, more than 69% of people chose this answer. By the way, the most popular answer in the expanded questionnaire is 'The outside is giant garbage, the people inside are small pieces of garbage, the outside is dead garbage, and the inside is live garbage.

The outside is non-burnable garbage, and the inside is non-burnable fossil brain garbage. The ultimate garbage dump deserves the title. By the way, the employees who made the 'garbage dump' option'"

"He was fired?"

"No, he was promoted. It is said that the district chief liked this title so much that he changed his house number to the little garbage chief of the garbage village."

"As long as you are happy."

After a long time, Rabbit finally managed a smile.

"Well, after the news spread, not many people called the city government garbage dump. He, Bailu District Chief, is the garbage chief of the garbage dump. You, who are from Bailu District, Fourth Ring Road, have also become garbage residents of the garbage dump."

Recalling what his past boss had done, was he so smart and thought so far ahead? Zheng Li shook his head.

"Should I say, this is self-destruction and it makes people unable to do it again. Although based on my personal understanding of that single-thread idiot, he should just use this as an excuse not to organize the office and files, 'I'm all rubbish'

Now that you have become the head of the village, you still want me to sort out junk files.'"

There have been violent remarks made by former (government) employees against their bosses.

Now, even the cheerful rabbit didn't know how to answer the call.

"Ahem, it's quite spectacular. Well, it's impressive and impactful."

At this time, they stepped through a gate and what was in front of them was the government office area of ​​Bailu District, District 4, Fourth Ring Road, Shiqian City.

It’s no wonder that it has caused a lot of controversy. The buildings in front of you, or the large-scale building complex, are really scary.

The huge corpse of the beast lay there, filled with the smell of quicksand and sulfur, and the faint smell of blood, as if it was on the battlefield yesterday.

As for the city hall, which is the core of administration, all kinds of buildings have a ribcage in its chest. Each rib of the municipal behemoth is more than five stories high. If only this one existed, it could be said that it has a unique style, but it is like this.

There were more than a dozen large objects, piled together like a child's messy building blocks.

The bones of giants and the scaly wings of giant dragons are nothing. There are sad faces with humanity on the metal hill with a tall spire, and there are high-tech aerial battleships sandwiched on top of them, facing the aerostats.

It is a ghost ship that is still burning with black fire, and there are ghost crew members who are having a barbecue on the upside-down bottom of the ship.

Similar things were mixed together and piled up into several spires, and the buildings of the city hall were among them. No, to be precise, they were the offices of the city hall. Lan Mengqi had already seen the side of the ghost ship open.

There are two signs hanging in the hole, and there are people queuing up outside to wait for the office to be opened.

It’s no wonder that others say it’s a garbage dump. When a first-time visitor walks in, the first impression is “It’s such a mess.” The second glance is “It’s such a fucking mess,” followed by “Where am I? Where am I going? Where did I come from?”

Come?" Three philosophical questions.

"Oh, that's the Archives Management Office. They deal with endless mountains of documents every day. Many things are dangerous and must be kept secret. There are many people with mental pollution. There are not many living people willing to do it. The ghost employees are on duty 24 hours a day and

There will be no psychological problems, many of them were rehired after the original employees died."

It seems that as soon as he returned to his original unit, Zheng Li talked a little too much and his venomous tongue became uncontrollable.

"But let me tell you, the main reason for the large-scale re-employment is that the dead ghost employees only get half the salary. What those little bastards in the Finance Bureau and the Personnel Bureau like most is that they don't have to pay for food, business trip subsidies, and housing subsidies.

Employees do not need employment training or take annual leave. If no one had stopped it at that time, if the talent introduction policy of the administrative department three years ago had been reformed, nearly half of the new employees would have been ghost employees. The whole process of coming and going was like a ghost.

What does it look like?"

Of course, the truth is not as bad as Zheng Li said. The situation of the Archives Management Office is really special. The area of ​​each district starting from Central is quite astonishing. There are too many documents every day. There are several cars coming in and out every day, and most of them are

Documents are boring, boring but necessary. After working for a long time, you will become a living dead person numbly processing documents.

Oh, the other part of the files is even more interesting. Daily files can make living people bored to death, but those with danger signs can make dead people look alive.

There is too much secret and dangerous knowledge. Ordinary people will not go crazy or mutate if they are exposed to it too much. Some employees complained at the beginning that when entering the archives management office, the mental hospital is the standard, the strange zoo is the place to go, and the cemetery will not do it if you are not careful.

It is a place of eternal rest (holiday), and the deceased will be dragged to work overtime.

Well, later on, they really used dead people to work overtime, and they didn't have to pay overtime pay.

But looking at the confused Rabbit, it seemed a bit too dark, so Zheng Li still explained a few words.

"It exists for a reason. Don't look at it like this. It was an ordinary government office building back then."

Although Shiqian City has a sixth ring road, the fourth ring road is already the outermost extension of the area completely controlled by the municipal government. The fifth ring road has started to be independent city-states and factory areas, making it inconvenient to travel between them.

The further out the ring is, the worse the spatial stability is. In addition, in the vast and empty no-man's land, there are many alien beasts, monsters, demonized beasts and the like.

The fifth and sixth rings are wilderness areas, and the twenty-fourth districts of the fourth ring are also the outermost border fortress areas of Shiqian City. Not far away are the huge towering city walls and the roaring trains.

Since ancient times, the "border" has generally had fierce folk customs, and there are many floating people coming and going. Quite a few famous hunters and adventurers have settled here. To maintain the scene, the lord/boss/district chief must be prestigious.

"I thought I was stronger than you. This area will be my territory from now on, and everyone will have to pay me protection fees. Ha, you said you are my boss, wahhgh! Little Xiami! Come and fight!"

Although it's ridiculous, in Shiqian City, which was originally built, there were quite a few strong people with this kind of orc mentality.

In particular, the largest adventure mission commissioning area in the entire Fourth Ring Road is located in the Bailu District City Hall. Along with the black market, weapon shops, flower streets and other supporting facilities, the concentration of combat talents makes this area become the "Orc I".

Thinking about the hardest hit area of ​​"I am super strong and I want to be a boss".

As a de facto leader, the first district mayor received so many challenge letters every day that her mailbox was flooded. She was so annoyed that she simply ran out of the city.

Then half a month later, there was a corpse of a natural disaster-level beast in the city hall, and there was a signed photo of the first district mayor beside it. She smiled so happily, so she was quiet for a long time.

.

However, the challengers who came after hearing the news were well-known strong men who even gave the district chief a headache. Many of them came from other super giant cities thousands of miles away. It should be said that they shot themselves in the foot.

?.

The predecessor leads the way, and the successor is learned and knowledgeable. The first thing for the incumbent is to hunt for big ones, or else he can't control his subordinates who are arrogant and undisciplined.

And in order to show that he is no worse than his predecessor, he has to hunt for bigger ones. After each term, the land area is not enough, and it has begun to accumulate tall towers.

Due to strong protests from employees and the fact that "bigger" jobs were becoming increasingly difficult to find, they looked for new, weird and difficult things to prove their abilities.

The alien battleship of the Moss, the ghost ship in the blue sea, and the sphinx mummy of the Sun God's son all came from this.

Later, when this became a tradition and culture, it was not just the district chiefs who came to the display platform to pile up trophies.

Many famous adventurers, explorers, and hunters in this area would secretly hang their proudest prey in the corner of a certain piece of equipment, and they would not forget to leave their own spiritual seals and fancy signatures.

Later generations continue to innovate, but the legacy of the predecessors is difficult to dismantle. As time goes by, it naturally becomes a garbage dump. However, these messy things have undergone strange changes after being piled up for a long time. For example, those who die in it are particularly likely to become ghosts.

The "garbage dump" is also known as the "sweatshop where even ghosts are spared".

As soon as such a bad start is made, the other bosses in the border area have to follow even for the sake of face (at the beginning, for the sake of border security, they all picked the ones who can fight). As the boss, if he follows up, how can the others not follow?

.

For a long time, this "modern punk style mixed with bones and metal" has become the standard feature of government office buildings in various districts.

"You know you're at City Hall when you smell garbage." This was probably the most commonly heard malicious comment at the time. After all, these guys were experienced at handling trophies. It was inevitable that they would be piled up in a messy and unsightly manner, but as a medal of "honor"

How could it possibly have a taste?

But later, with the development of the times, the roads leading to other giant cities became stable, and there were more inter-city exchanges. As the face of the city, the government office buildings were really a bit ugly.

Shiqian City has lost many people because of this, and the "Office Building in Shiqian City" has even become a joke in the entire human society. The city government has issued several decrees forcibly ordering the district governments to transfer their "ancestral treasures"

"Pulled into the district museum.

Well, the district museum was right, but the city's finance department and research department didn't have any, so he didn't even dare to ask.

Some local museums brought it in directly, while others repaired it overnight. No one was willing to send their "junk" elsewhere.

This is no longer just a matter of honor and tradition. Later generations have long discovered that these things have withstood the test of the times and have long become the wealth left by their ancestors. They can be used in times of disaster or for development needs, and Bailu District

This one is the most special and cannot be dismantled.

"There is nothing we can do. The ritual conditions have been met for the first time. The sacrifices and spiritual energy overflow have become internal cycles and have long been alienated. The space gap left by the forced demolition will have a high probability of causing a large-scale space earthquake, and a small probability of it happening.

It's an ultra-small black hole beast. Are you sure you want to dismantle it? I'd say it's pretty good. Such a high degree of spiritual energy density not only increases the chance of the spirit body of the deceased remaining, it should also increase the shipment rate of spiritual blades.

Let’s increase it by one percent.”

Zheng Li still remembered what the expert in the field of psychic energy said during the regular inspection two years ago.

So, together with several other die-hard outer districts, after a lot of fussing, the Bailu District was really not demolished.

The only troublesome thing is probably that the interview is not very photogenic, and there is also the traditional visit (show off) program at the end of the year. After all the district heads visited the district museums together, especially the historical exhibition area and the newcomers exhibition area, the district head of the district

They will be helpless and furious for a few days.

It’s not that he didn’t call on other well-known hunters and the Rising Star Hunter to put the trophies in the district museum, but your boss didn’t do that. He followed the tradition and hung his prey “The Specialty of the Gray Abyss, the Super Giant Shadow Raven” on the top of the tower, and also prevented others from doing so.

If someone hangs below you, why should others give their honor and pride to the museum?

He also knows that this is not possible, but you suggest that he send his treasure to the museum

"How can I send my glory and pride to a cold warehouse where no one has ever passed before! Absolutely not! It will cry! Honor is my life, blood and thunder!"
