Volume 1 Freaks Must Die - Chapter 1 Special and Boring

People will go through many crossroads in their lives, and when they make the wrong choice, it may be a road to death.

Chu Yu didn't like to seek death, especially when he was forced to choose this path, so he wanted to withdraw in time.

Chu Yu graduated from Yale University with degrees in theology, religious arts, and sacred studies.

Originally, he was supposed to stay overseas to work, but for some reason, he returned to China on impulse. As soon as he got off the plane, he was kidnapped by someone.

The person who kidnapped him was a very beautiful woman.

The woman told him that he was accepted by the organization.

organize?

Admitted?

Chu Yu was stunned on the spot because he had never submitted his resume to any company!

"I can't just give in like this, I have to resist!" Chu Yu said.

And finally, after a round of close contact with fists as big as casserole dishes, he surrendered.

Like being paraded through the streets, he was grabbed by the scruff of the neck by a sturdy man and forced to familiarize himself with the working environment, and then he was announced to be a member of the Public Affairs Safety Supervisory Commission.

When Chu Yu first came into contact with public affairs security supervision, it was as if he had discovered a new continent, which overturned all his understanding of the world.

The Public Affairs and Security Supervisor has only one job, and that is to investigate and handle all supernatural incidents in the country!

This mysterious department can be said to be the most powerful and mysterious department in the country. In the lobby of its headquarters, there are five dazzling characters hung - Secret and Great!

After working for a full year, Chu Yu gradually understood the meaning of these five words.

This job is so secretive that the landlord still thinks he is a deadbeat who spends his money on loan sharks. Not only does he go out early and come back late every day, but apart from his ID card, there is no other proof of his identity. He uses cash for everything, wears a baseball cap and a mask when he goes out, and has three extra locks on the door. He does not use the free WIFI and instead uses a separate encrypted network cable.

I finally got a girlfriend, but we broke up in the end because she was so secretive all the time.

Chu Yu met his girlfriend online. He lied to her and said he worked at the Agricultural Supervision Bureau. But the woman also concealed her identity and said she was in the kitchen of a restaurant specializing in washing loaches. But she actually worked in a foot massage shop.

This is what is called being secretive, unable to be friends with anyone, let alone find a girlfriend.

As for greatness, he is also talking about others, because he is not a front-line worker and has never encountered any danger.

After looking at the time, Chu Yu sighed slightly, then took out his resignation letter from his arms.

He thought about resigning for a long time. He hoped that he could change his boring life path today, turn back into that restless young man, and have a normal life, so he decided to resign.

Strictly speaking, his job is not bad, nor is the salary low; it’s mainly because the content of his work is so bizarre.

The job is simple: read newspapers, watch TV, watch the news, and join chat groups and forums where mentally ill patients gather. Then collect any abnormal information and finally analyze it to distinguish the truth from the false. If it is false, just laugh it off. If it is true, then report it to the superiors immediately.

After reporting, other matters have nothing to do with him anymore, as they will be handled by the group of burly men in the Class A incident team.

As for Chu Yu's job, it is called a data analyst.

Someone suddenly flew into the air, a huge explosion occurred somewhere that was not caused by humans, a corpse was resurrected in the morgue of a certain hospital, etc.

In short, he needs to analyze anything that is difficult for ordinary people to understand and distinguish between true and false.

But for a whole year, he hadn't discovered any supernatural events. In simple terms, his performance was zero and he had received a year's salary in vain.

In addition, he has seen too many strange things.

For example, in a forum focusing on mental illness, patients with gallstones claimed to have cultivated the inner elixir.

For example, some people said they saw a person with super powers, but in the end they found out that he was just an eighth-rate magician.

What's even more outrageous is that there was an idiot who went to the hospital for an abortion and insisted that her Nascent Soul had been aborted.

Chu Yu felt that this group of people were crazy and he himself was going crazy, so he had to resign.

Holding the resignation letter, Chu Yu came to his boss' office door, knocked, and walked in nervously.

My boss’s surname is Meng, and his full name is Meng Yong. He serves as the leader of the Class A Incident Group of the Nangang Branch of the Public Affairs and Safety Supervision. He is also the head of the local branch of the Public Affairs and Safety Supervision. His external identity is the deputy director of the Agricultural Supervision.

In Nangang City, all members of the Public Affairs Security Supervision Department are wearing the identities of agricultural supervision staff to conceal their identities.

The same is true for Chu Yu. His workplace is also in a converted garage in the basement of the Agricultural Supervision Bureau. His external identity is just that of an ordinary clerk.

Meng Yong lives up to his name and looks quite brave indeed. He is 1.80 meters tall and weighs at least 200 kilograms. He is full of muscular muscles and can truly be described as a macho man with arms that can run a horse.

Meng Yong, who was picking his toes, raised his head, smelled his hands, took a cigarette from the box and threw it over.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

Chu Yu awkwardly put the cigarette that smelled of salted fish back on the table and forced a smile.

"Boss, I want to talk to you about something." Chu Yu mustered up his courage and said, "I don't want to do this anymore. I want to resign."

"Resign?" Meng Yong's thick eyebrows knitted tightly together. "The pressure is too great? Can I give you five days off?"

"It's not a matter of taking a break or not. I just don't want to do it anymore."

"What about a raise, an extra 800 yuan per month?"

Chu Yu shook his head, "It's not about money..."

Before Chu Yu could finish, Meng Yong interrupted and said, "I'll give you another apartment. A two-bedroom apartment, over 100 square meters, with an elevator."

Chu Yu was confused.

What kind of department is the Public Affairs and Safety Supervision Department? The salary increase is too casual.

Seeing Chu Yu remained silent, Meng Yong asked tentatively, "How about I give you a girlfriend, and pay for the house renovation and wedding expenses, etc.?"

Chu Yu opened his mouth wide, trying to figure out if the other party was joking.

Holidays, salary increases, separate houses, all decoration and wedding expenses are covered, and even girlfriends are taken care of?

Chu Yu's face was full of suspicion.

He even suspected that Meng Yong was trying to trick him.

Because Meng Yong has a daughter who looks like a gas tank that has been practicing for a hundred years and has become a spirit.

Could it be that this guy wants her daughter to marry him?

You have to know that I have only been working for a year. Even if the nature of my job is special, it is impossible to get such generous treatment.

Besides, I have never heard of any senior in prison who has been in life and death situations enjoying such treatment.

Lao Fang from the Class A incident group had an accident while on a mission half a year ago and was in the hospital for four months. Not to mention a house, he still has to ride a bicycle to and from get off work every day. He still deserves to be paid.

"Boss, you are kidding me?" Chu Yu subconsciously took a step back. He was afraid that Meng Yong was speaking in a sarcastic way and would suddenly attack and hurt someone, because many of his colleagues had been beaten up.

After working for a year, although Chu Yu seemed to be an unknown person, he knew every colleague around him very well, especially his immediate superior Meng Yong.

To put it bluntly, this guy is a reckless person who doesn't even look at traffic lights when walking, and he has a very bad temper.

Previously, because his daughter failed the exam, Meng Yong had no place to vent his anger, so he ran to the train station and put his wallet in his back pocket with half of it exposed, as if he was afraid that a thief would target him, and then... nothing happened. After Meng Yong went there four or five times, the security at Nangang Railway Station was unprecedentedly good, and no thieves or illegal gangs were seen anymore.

Moreover, this guy is well-known for being afraid of his wife. Once he gets angry at home, he starts scolding at work. He scolds everyone he sees and he doesn't like anyone. Of course, Chu Yu has been scolded a lot as well.

"I don't have time to joke with you." Meng Yong gradually lost his patience and slapped the table with his palm like a bear's paw.

Chu Yu was startled. Just as he was about to speak, Meng Yong stood up and shouted arrogantly, "You can set any conditions. As long as you can say it, I will do it if I can. If I can't do it, I will report it to the headquarters. Anyway, you can't leave!"

Chu Yu was stunned. After confirming that Meng Yong really didn't want to let him go, he was filled with confusion.

Not to mention the headquarters, even the Nangang branch where he is located is full of talented people.

There are elites specially recruited by the camp, as well as talented people recruited from the public. This department of less than 50 people can be said to be full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers.

A sea turtle like him might be considered a high-level talent if he were placed outside, but in the Public Affairs and Safety Supervision, he is a waste with zero existence, who can't carry anything with his shoulders or hands.

But it was such a waste like him that Meng Yong offered so many conditions to keep him. This really puzzled him.

Although he was somewhat tempted, Chu Yu's face turned resolute once again when he thought about the boredom he would endure for the next few decades.

"Boss, I have to resign." After hesitating for a moment, Chu Yu explained with a smile, "This working environment is really not suitable for me. The day before yesterday, I went to the hospital for a psychiatric consultation, and the doctor said I might be sick."

Meng Yong's expression changed drastically. "I'm sick. What's wrong? A terminal illness?"

"The doctor couldn't tell me exactly, but I've been having nightmares for the past two months." Chu Yu no longer concealed anything and told me everything. "After I lay in bed, I kept having nightmares. The scenes in my dreams were bizarre, and there were a lot of people chasing me. They were all kinds of freaks chasing me, freaks beyond my cognition, and they used all kinds of unimaginable means to kill me. I haven't slept well for two months. The doctor said that if this continues, my spirit will collapse sooner or later."

Meng Yong was half-believing and half-doubting, "A nightmare like a TV series? And there are monsters chasing you?"

Chu Yu nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

Meng Yong was silent.

This situation has happened before. Many colleagues started having nightmares and even hallucinations because they were exposed to too many incredible things.

However, what he couldn't understand was that Chu Yu was just an analyst, not a front-line member. Logically, he had no chance to come into contact with supernatural events. How could he have a nightmare, and this nightmare lasted for two months in a row?

After a long pause, Meng Yong said, "I know about this. You go back first and I will notify the headquarters."

Chu Yu was overjoyed, "So, you have approved my resignation?"

"Fuck you, I'll ask headquarters to send a psychiatrist over here."

Chu Yu, "..."

"What are you standing there for? Go back to work."

"Oh." Chu Yu shrugged his head and walked out of the office reluctantly.

Looking at Chu Yu's leaving back, Meng Yong lit a cigarette irritably, took two puffs and cursed secretly.

"Damn it, why does this cigarette smell like salted fish?"

After cursing, Meng Yong smelled the fingers that had just picked his toes, and then he showed an expression of sudden enlightenment. He chuckled and took a deep breath.

In fact, it is not without precedent that team members leave their jobs. There are countless people who are injured, have psychological problems, even doubt their lives and suffer mental breakdowns. After all, their work is too special.

Although Meng Yong is a front-line member, he is also the team boss, so he knows very well that the work of analysts like Chu Yu is not much easier than theirs.

It is extremely dangerous for front-line team members to handle Type A incidents, but this is not the norm after all. It is considered unlucky if they encounter one once every few months. It can be said that soldiers are raised for a thousand days and used for only one moment.

But analysts are different. They collect information every day like looking for a needle in a haystack, then distinguish the true from the false, and finally summarize it. The workload is huge and extremely boring.

This kind of work is undoubtedly a torture for a young person.

As for what he just said about a raise, a house, and even a girlfriend, he was not joking, although there was no precedent for this in the prison and he did not have the authority to do so.

But for Chu Yu, he had to make this exception.

Because a year ago, when Chu Yu just joined the Public Affairs Security Supervision, he was also transferred from the headquarters at the same time.

Before leaving, he met with the highest superior in prison.

Meng Yong had been in prison for more than 20 years, and that was the first time he was summoned alone by his superior.

His boss told him that he only needed to do two things when he arrived in Nangang.

One is to make sure Chu Yu is kept.

As for the second thing, it is to ensure Chu Yu's safety.

In addition, the second point is more important than the first!

And this is also the main reason why Meng Yong treats Chu Yu differently.

As for his boss's deeper meaning, Meng Yong didn't dare to ask, nor did he want to think about it. He just did as he was told.
