If Li Shenzhi guessed correctly, the Public Security Department was using him as bait to fish!

From what I heard, the Scarlet Gang is just a pawn being pushed by a certain cult.

Therefore, even if the plan fails, it will not be broken.

But Langdon, as the carrier of this mysterious cult, had a hard time finding it. In theory, he shouldn't give up easily.

Therefore, it is very possible to take advantage of the chaos last night to snatch him away!

Unfortunately, I wonder if this cult is too cautious? Or is it that the Public Security Department is too rough in its work, so they are aware of it?

In short, the plan has been aborted.

Under such circumstances, the Sheriff's Department obviously has few options left.

"You are the best carrier of the evil god. We originally planned to fish out those crazy beasts, but obviously they were scared to death. We can't send people to guard you 24 hours a day, so..."

Pine reached out and took out a revolver from his lower back, and gently placed it on the armrest of the sofa:

"Killing you is the best way to end it once and for all! The clockkeeper is a family inheritance position. You can now identify the next clockkeeper. This is the only thing that the city hall and the Sheriff's Department can do."

Li Shenzhi raised his head in astonishment upon hearing this.

[No, no, no...he, he is scaring you! He is testing you...no, he is testing Langdon! Don't kill him!]

[A great being walking in the abyss of consciousness, I shouldn’t disturb your enjoyment of walking in the world, but, but...killing him is a kind of destruction, isn’t it?]

A terrifying sound suddenly echoed in Langdon's ears.

——It's a dream monster.

It was frightened.

Does it know how terrifying this person is in front of it?

Once the opponent misjudges and kills Pine, as a mosaic of Pine, it will also die!

What's even more frustrating is that it would be fine if they were hostile!

But Pine didn’t really want to kill Langdon. This was just a test, or the final temptation!

"What a pity!" Li Shenzhi suddenly sighed.

"What's a pity?" Pine looked curious.

"I should have bought a gun from Hansen sooner."

A hint of joking appeared on Pine's face when he heard this, but Langdon didn't want to say again:

"I was so well protected by you that I lost my vigilance. Even though I had investigated the evil gods, I never thought that you had been fighting them in the dark for a long time."

Pine's expression moved slightly, and there was a glint in his eyes.

The terrifying scene of facing the evil god last night seemed to have value at this moment.

"Then you still want to buy a gun?"

"The situation is different. No matter who wants to kill me, he must resist before he is willing to do so."

"Then are you ready to resist now?"

"No." Langdon shook his head dejectedly: "Can I have a cigarette?"

"Please!"

Pine stretched out his hand.

Langdon walked to the desk, flipped through it for a long time, and then said with an embarrassed look, "I forgot, I don't smoke."

"Well, as a man, not smoking is just as bad as not having a beard."

"Really? Then can you fulfill the wish of a dying man?"

"certainly!"

Pine took a deep drag on his pipe and handed it over.

Langdon stepped closer, took the pipe, and in an instant, he suddenly reached for the revolver on the armrest.

Unexpectedly, when I brushed it with my palm, it was empty.

In this flash of lightning, Pine quickly grabbed the revolver and pointed it at his head.

"This is a pipe, don't be dazzled."

Pine smiled and handed over the pipe.

"You don't want to kill me?"

Li Shenzhi looked at the black hole in front of him and said suddenly.

"Why do you say that?"

Pine was still smiling, but there was a little more inexplicable emotion in his smile.

"If you really wanted to kill me, you should have shot me at that moment. After all, no one can guarantee that a dying person will stop."

"But you stopped."

"So you don't want to kill me."

Pine stopped talking. He stared into Langdon's brown eyes. For a long time, the revolver spun deftly in his hand and inserted into his lower back.

"As expected of someone who dares to peek at the evil god. You are calmer than I thought. This is a quality that the Public Security Department needs."

"What do you mean?" Langdon's expression changed.

"We cannot let a person who knows the inside story escape our sight. Even if you tell the truth, the people will not believe it and may even regard you as a madman."

"In this case, we usually have two solutions. One is to distort the memory of the person involved; the other is to recruit him into the Public Security Department."

Li Shenzhi said: "I seem to have no choice?"

Pine nodded: "Yes, if you were involved accidentally, we could help you eliminate the accident, but you are obviously not."

Li Shenzhi breathed out: "I have not received professional training, can I still join the Public Security Department?"

Pine said: "The Sheriff's Department also has civilian jobs, and I believe they would welcome a master watch repairman."

"How much is the salary?"

"The weekly salary of field security officers is 20 pounds, and the weekly salary of clerks is about 3 pounds, excluding other benefits."

Li Shenzhi's breath was suffocated.

Damn it, the end of the universe really is Kaogong.

The weekly salary of a clerk has reached 3 pounds? Isn’t the monthly salary 12 pounds?

This is equivalent to a year’s salary of the people at the bottom of the class. It’s a proper middle class!

If you don't have children, you can even hire a servant and completely get rid of household chores.

This is just the clerk's salary.

If you are a security guard, your weekly salary is 20 pounds, and your annual salary is more than 1,000 pounds. This is a salary that only wealthy country squires, senior lawyers, and businessmen can get.

This is almost the highest salary the middle class can get.

Further up, it is the level of bankers, industrialists, and even aristocrats.

“Can I be a field security officer?”

Li Shen asked subconsciously.

"That depends on whether you meet the conditions."

A smile appeared on Pine's lips.

A SAN value that is too high is both a curse and a blessing.

This kind of person is regarded as a treasure by cults, and is a rare talent for the Public Security Department, which often needs to face all kinds of evil spirits.

This is also the fundamental reason why Pine personally came to recruit.

However, the Public Security Department does not like to force employees to become field security guards, just like many pubs do not force good girls to go into the sea.

As long as the price is right, they will naturally be tempted to come to you.

“What specific conditions need to be met?”

"There are many conditions, such as: my Lord's belief in the God of Navigation, proficiency in shooting and combat, and necessary occult knowledge...etc., if you are interested, I can arrange for someone to teach you. The specific situation will be slowly added after you join the job.

Just know it.”

Pine smiled and said: "It's getting late. We can talk about the Sheriff's Department later. Your most important task now is to move."

"Do you still have to move?"

"Otherwise, what if we wait until the cult members come over and hit you with a sap again?"

Li Shenzhi looked embarrassed. He had an intuition that this incident would become his dark history.

Checking out was not a hassle for Langdon, especially with a security patrolman by his side.
