"Oh." Xiao Tan responded and returned to the main topic. "That …" He quickly remembered what he was talking about and continued, "I followed Detective Zhang through a seemingly ordinary door, and then through a corridor that was probably a security inspection area. After that, we arrived at the 'real door'. At first glance, the real door looked no different from a normal security door. There was a keyhole and a keypad on the door, but in fact … this door … "
"Hey, hey, what are you doing?" Bao Qing interrupted Xiao Tan again. "Why are you being so detailed?"
"Huh?" Xiao Tan was stunned. "Didn't you ask me to be 'specific'?"
"You don't have to be so specific," Bao Qing said with a drawl.
"Why?" Xiao Tan was puzzled.
Before Bao Qing could answer this question, Feng Bujue answered first, "Because the way you're describing it … the level of detail is enough for me to infer some substantial information." He paused and laughed. "Heh … If I find out the location of the warehouse in the future, I'm very likely to pose a threat to the warehouse based on the information I've obtained today."
"Yes, that's it," Bao Qing said.
"Oh …" Xiao Tan thought for a while. "Okay … I'll skip the 'details'." He paused for a second and continued, "Speaking of which … I followed Detective Zhang to the interior of the warehouse. The moment I entered, I was shocked. The space inside was so huge that it obviously exceeded the size of the building's exterior. Although it's not strange to see this in the game, it was the first time I saw such a facility that used hyperspace technology in real life. I was quite excited at the time. I didn't expect … this was just the beginning. In the next half an hour, I saw a bunch of things that changed my worldview … "
Xiao Tan looked at Bao Qing. "By the way, can I tell you about the things in the warehouse?"
"Sure." Bao Qing replied. "You can tell me that now. Just don't talk about the situation at the entrance in such detail like you did just now."
"Oh." Xiao Tan nodded, took a sip of his drink, and said, "For example, I found that the power supply for the entire warehouse is from a human-powered generator …"
"Are you sure the one who generated electricity is still a human?" Feng Bujue could not help but interject when he heard the first example.
"Of course." Xiao Tan replied, "The one in charge of the power generation is an agent who looks about the same age as me … Oh, the one called Li Leyi. I even chatted with him for a bit. He said he's a newbie who just graduated from the police academy this year."
Brother Jue immediately looked at Bao Qingyan and said, "You guys are really recruiting from everywhere, huh?"
"The department chief is the one in charge of human resources," Bao Qing shrugged and replied, "His standards are still a mystery."
"Hmm …" Feng Bujue muttered, then looked at Xiao Tan and said, "Well, if it's not a problem with the people … Then, is it because of the generator itself?"
"That's for sure." Xiao Tan replied, "But of course, they won't tell me the principle of the machine. They just told me that … if a person with slightly higher than average physical fitness pedals on the machine for eight hours, the power generated can supply the entire East Coast of the United States for five minutes."
"What are these guys doing? Why don't they just use our country's power supply as an example? "Feng Bujue said," Why are they talking about the evil United States? "
"We generally don't use our country's power supply data as an example because the power supply data of our various provinces and cities are 'modified'. Even our internal people may not be able to get the accurate numbers." The next second, Bao Qing explained for Xiao Tan, "If the real numbers are released … it may make the public speculate some information that they shouldn't know."
"Huh?" Feng Bujue heard this and casually asked, "What do you mean? Don't tell me all our cities are designed like the 'Third New Tokyo' that can sink into the ground when necessary? "
Brother Bujue didn't expect Bao Qing to be stunned when he heard this.
After two seconds, Master Bao looked sideways and said, "Tsk … I think I said something wrong …"
"Hey! You guessed it right? "Feng Bujue widened his eyes and said in shock," It really works? "
"Ah …" Bao Qing felt that there was nothing to hide anymore, so she replied, "It is indeed possible. However, not all buildings and facilities can be 'sunk' or 'flipped'. After all, the cost and difficulty of the construction are obvious. Therefore, at this stage, we still need to ensure that some of the more strategically important cities, such as the landmark and functional buildings, are given priority to complete the renovation. The main purpose of the transformation is to defend against nuclear attacks. As for the other methods of attack … It's not a problem. "
"The other methods are not a problem?" Feng Bujue narrowed his eyes and said, "What about the apostle's attack?"
"If they want to attack, then so be it." Bao Qing said, "As far as I know, before Chief Gu took over the Ninth Division, he had already taken part in solving several crises caused by demigod level targets. Even if something like an apostle were to attack us, he would be able to deal with it."
"Phew …" Feng Bujue heard this and sighed. "The more I know, the more I feel that the world I live in is dangerous …"
"Yeah," Xiao Tan said, "I had a similar feeling when I was in the warehouse."
"I guessed it too …" Brother Bujue said, "That warehouse was filled with those 'pedal-powered nuclear generators', right?"
"Yes, the 'warehouse' was used to 'store' those things." Xiao Tan replied, "By the way, when the generator was stored in the warehouse, its official name was' Tesla's Afternoon Fitness Partner '."
"'Shelter'?" Feng Bujue turned to look at Bao Qing. "So, Nine Sciences is involved in 'Warehouse 13' (an American TV series about storing Special Items) and the SCP Foundation?"
"That's right … If we don't do it, who will?" Bao Qing said, "You have to know … Half a century ago, when there was no organization to store these things, all these things that could cause chaos in the world were circulating in the 'underground world'. People back then were living in real danger, and they didn't even know how they died."
"Haha …" Brother Bujue laughed dryly and said in a complicated tone, "It's a pity that I didn't get to live in those good times …"
"What good times?" Xiao Tan said, "Let's not talk about that era. Even now … Even if most of those things are in the warehouse, I still deeply feel that … it's a miracle that the world hasn't been destroyed yet."
"What else is there?" Feng Bujue raised his eyebrows and asked, "Newton's leftover apples? Archimedes' levers? "
"What you said … I don't know if there are any." Xiao Tan said, "I only went to visit some of the 'safety products' that have been used in the warehouse itself, such as the 'Urn of Mohist', 'Seismograph', 'Hubble Microscope', and so on. As for the 'dangerous goods' … When I was walking in the 'dangerous goods area', I did see a lot of door plates with the names of stored items … I can't remember too many of them. Anyway, the ones that left the deepest impression were 'Orion Alpha Crown', 'Push Back Diagram', and something called 'Sulfur Organism' … They seem to be alive."
"Hmm … Even I want to go and take a look …" When he said that, there was a glint in Feng Bujue's eyes that was enough to make others feel uneasy.
"Okay … Just because of what you said, I have to go back to the office in the rain and snow to write a report today." Bao Qing's identity as an "undercover" had long been made public, so he was always very arrogant in front of Brother Bujue.
"Report it, report it, I don't care anymore." Feng Bujue didn't care. He immediately said to Xiao Tan, "Go on, why did you go to the 'dangerous goods area' of the warehouse?"
"Now, I have to get to the reason why Manager Gu called me …" At this point, Wang Tanzhi's expression suddenly turned serious. "He told me on the phone that … the warehouse has recently received an item that is' related 'to our Wang family, and he needs my help to' test 'it."
"Oh?" Feng Bujue wondered, "What is it?"
"Siren's scale." Xiao Tan replied with five words.
And Feng Bujue also spent five seconds to walk around his memory attic that was filled with various legends, urban legends, and supernatural stories. He found a series of related knowledge that was related to them.
"So it's the scale on the siren?" Five seconds later, Brother Bujue asked.
"I didn't see the siren, I only saw the scale." Xiao Tan replied, "But I think it should be."
"Oh …" Feng Bujue chuckled. "What? Is your family related to the Sirens? Do you have siren blood? "
"I don't think so." Bao Qing also took the opportunity to tease him. "He's not good at music (one of the characteristics of the Sirens is that they have an irresistible voice)."
"Can we not talk about that?" Xiao Tan quickly stopped the topic and said, "It's still a 'test' … It's not complicated, just let me make a cut on my hand and drip a few drops of blood on the scale to stimulate its special effect."
The next second, Feng Bujue and Bao Qing asked in unison, "What effect?"
As he finished, Brother Jue turned to Bao Qing and said, "Hmm? Didn't you read the report? Why are you making such a fuss? "
"Yes, I did …" Bao Qing nodded. "The report said that 'Wang Tanzhi went to the warehouse to help with an experiment, which caused a commotion, and then the commotion was resolved.' As for the specific content of the experiment, the process of the commotion … It didn't say anything. But the list of losses in the warehouse was very detailed … "
"F * ck!" Feng Bujue immediately replied, "What's the point of that report?"
"Ha!" Bao Qing laughed. "You don't get it, do you?" In this field, he could teach Brother Bujue well. "Writing a report is different from writing a novel, especially a report from a special organization like ours. The most standard way to write a report is to explain the cause and effect, and finally calculate the account clearly … That's all you need to do. As for the process in the middle, I'll make it as simple as possible and as vague as possible … By doing so, I can effectively prevent these things from becoming unfavorable evidence against you one day in the future. "
At this point, Bao Qing took a sip of tea and said, "Let me give you an example … Let's say you are the leader of the Nine Sections. You have always had a good relationship with the higher-ups. But one day, there is a sudden change of personnel in those departments, and a new batch of people who don't get along with you … Politicians, you know. Even if they can't interfere with you directly with their positions, they still have ways to find fault with you through various means. What those people do is no different from what they did in the 1960s and 1970s. They will dig up all the old accounts in your department, and try their best to find fault with you … Then, they will impeach you on the grounds of 'improper handling' that was decades overdue.
"And when that happens, you'll realize … that 'meaningless reports' are just like cards with the words' impeccable 'printed on them."
Listening to Bao Qing's words, Brother Jue had an "I see" look on his face, as if he had learned a lot from Bao Qing. On the other hand, Xiao Tan looked like he didn't take Bao Qing's words to heart at all.
"Hmm … You're indeed someone in the system." After Bao Qing finished speaking, Brother Jue said, "You have a lot of experience in fighting."
"Don't compliment me." Bao Qing waved his hand. "I'm still young, and this was all taught by our section chief. He's the real 'person with a story.'"
"Him …" Feng Bujue sneered. "Humph … I'd believe you if you said he assassinated the president of the United States."
"He didn't, but there is a story circulating in our unit about him going on a business trip to the United States." Bao Qing continued, "The general story is … There was a meeting in the United States Congress where Section Chief Gu used a fake identity to speak on stage. His opening remarks were: 'Good afternoon, everyone. Before I start talking about the actual content, I have to say a few words … I'm sure everyone knows that at this moment, this room is filled with a group of fat conservative pigs. When their weight reaches a certain level, they will be promoted to members of the House of Representatives. This group of people who continue to sit here will only lower the air quality and the average IQ here. Here, I don't want to target anyone, I just hope that the people I mentioned … will leave on their own. '"
"F * ck …" Even Feng Bujue felt that this story was a bit exaggerated. "What happened in the end? Did they all leave? "
"No, he was asked to leave by the security guard." Bao Qing spread his hands and smiled. "Okay, let's not talk about him …" He paused for half a second before continuing. "Anyway, that's all I saw in the report. Let's let Xiao Tan talk about the effect of the scale."
At this time, Xiao Tan was still thinking about the story and was laughing foolishly. After a few seconds, he replied, "Oh … That … Effect, right?" He laughed dryly. "Ha … It's really a trap … Before I dripped my blood, they were all evasive and didn't tell me what the effect was. Later, I found out that the 'Siren's Scale' has the effect of 'guiding mortals to establish communication with the underworld.'"
