Overturned Tower

After Russell woke up from the dream world, he still had to go to work as usual.

Originally, he wanted to simply ask for leave, but there was news from Delphinium - there was a temporary job in the morning.

Of course, it's not the kind of work that requires fighting. It's a job that requires Russell to clean up his face.

Logically speaking, Russell's original job should have been to conduct preliminary investigations of "suspected demons".

But the previous attack by the Veil of Ignorance scared the Inferior and Delphinium.

In their view, although Russell could be said to have made a great contribution to this incident... it was still very dangerous.

It would be better to do the opposite - let the inferiors do the investigation and carry out the mission, and let Russell be the rescue team. Russell's ability and character are not included in the opponent's calculations, which makes him safer.

But Tianen Group cannot provide for idle people.

The prerequisite for high salary in the Special Enforcement Department is to exchange lives for money.

But because Russell's uncle is also a director, the board of directors will not force a newcomer like Russell, who has just awakened his psychic powers for a month, to perform tasks that are too dangerous... After all, after one month in the industry, in some industries, it is still What about the training period?

So Russell's new job is to replace the bad guys in dealing with those media reporters——

"The Tianen Group's recent anti-riot operations in Xiacheng District have achieved quite good results."

Russell looked in front of the camera with a confident and sunny smile, spoke in a clear voice, and said clearly: "In the past month alone, the company has taken down eight criminal organizations and arrested 74 people involved in uncoded cases. We destroyed three mercenaries." The military group has arrested all relevant personnel who attacked the airships on the line from Sogo Island to Xingfu Island last month, and the specific case is under review."

As a "hero", his words are naturally persuasive - and Russell's acting skills are very good, his reactions are quick, and he can be said to have fluent answers in front of the camera.

The board was delighted with Russell's talent.

Compared with the bad guys who can anger a lot of people with every word they say, Russell not only did not cause trouble that required the public relations department to eliminate the impact, but also brought a wave of fans to himself.

"Ultramarine" has become the star of the entire Shangcheng District, with a faint tendency to replace Xiao Liuli.

Russell also did not expect that although he was not assigned to the public relations department, he was still working as a public relations manager...

Different paths lead to the same destination.

And standing next to Russell was Bai Xue, who succeeded Xiao Liuli and became the top reporter.

She nodded seriously: "Thank you very much, Mr. Ultramarine, for your explanation."

Then, the reporter, whose spirit was a white poodle, changed the subject and asked Russell: "But we heard here that seventeen executives died last month. In this case , and two executives were punished for manslaughter. Can you tell us the specific details?"

——Because he had to help with public relations, Russell was able to access some information that he could not access in advance due to his confidentiality level.

For example, in addition to the seventeen executives who died last month.

Thirty-one others were severely injured and had to be highly prosthetic.

The price paid by the executive department is actually much higher than reported - but these cannot be said.

Generally speaking...the execution department is a department dedicated to doing dirty work.

But generally speaking, even for uncoded people and executives, they cannot kill people at will.

They must scan to find that the other party has committed murder recorded by the camera, or killed someone in person, or filmed them holding a lethal weapon-such as a gun.

Until then, the highest-level weapons executives were allowed to use were stun guns and tranquilizer guns.

This will undoubtedly put them at a natural disadvantage in the lower city. Even with the cover of the inferiors, it is difficult to guarantee that nothing will happen.

Then again, why would anyone do such a dangerous job as an executive?

The answer is simple.

Because a large number of these "executive officers" are actually prisoners.

Those who are sent direct messages to persuade them to "surrender" after committing a crime are sent to prison to perform various tasks until they "repay their losses."

--Yes.

The length of jail time does not depend on the seriousness of the offences, but on the damage they cause.

This means that the specific detention time is also "flexible".

For example, if someone's child is killed, their parents, in anger and grief, can ask an accountant to compile a very high "loss." This means that the other party will most likely be imprisoned for a lifetime - even accumulating losses and being imprisoned for hundreds of years is possible.

Of course, such strict and vague rules are prepared for "extra mercy".

If the other party does have a skill or excellent physical fitness, he can be replaced with a new chip and incorporated into the execution department to serve as "logistics" or "non-staff." This is the only "temporary" way out of prison for those who don't want to go to jail.

The so-called non-staff are cannon fodder.

This kind of chip is different from civilian chips and "crayon" chips. It can "shut down" a person's brain at any time, that is, brain death.

And the executive's memory must be reviewed every month to prevent possible betrayal by the other party.

Because they are only able to move outside the prison, they are actually still prisoners serving their sentences. Therefore, they must be detained together in the "Executive Officers' Quarters" and can only be dispatched when there is a mission.

The people in the same building as Russell and others are actually the "logistics" of the execution department. These people are normal company employees, and their income is certainly not as high as that of hard-working executives.

In other words, for employees who normally enter the execution department of Tianen Group and serve as executive officers, they do enjoy high incomes, which are also the highest level of income in the entire Happy Island.

——But because there are very few normal people who serve as front-line "executive officers" after being admitted to the execution department, this income actually does not exist.

They are used to make up for the "losses" caused by members of these executive departments in the past, so there is no need to pay salaries at all.

At least their food is free and luxurious - that's the company's only mercy. After all, any meal can be a life-ending meal.

In addition to arresting some criminals who caused huge economic losses and were active in Shangcheng District, or parachuted in and killed the murderer immediately after a murder occurred in public, the main scope of activities of the Enforcement Department has always been in Xiacheng District.

But although the uncoded people in Xiacheng District are all criminals, they are not necessarily murderers.

This means that there are some uncoded people who cannot be killed. A large number of them are psykers, and it would be too difficult to capture them alive.

At this time, non-staff personnel have a special purpose.

——That is to let them do the last hit.

Under normal circumstances, the weapons used by the execution department before obtaining permission to kill are rubber bullets.

But it is also possible that one of the "non-staff" weapons was replaced with live ammunition without being informed.

Through this method, two people can be killed at the same time in a "one-to-one" ratio - one person is killed and the other person is "shut down".

Why there is a "manslaughter executive" is what Russell needs to explain.

"We have to consider the executive's trauma."

Russell did not answer the question directly, but changed the topic: "Performing heavy and dangerous work for a long time will put too much pressure on the executive's spirit. In addition, as we all know-the downtown area has dangerous and vicious people. Criminals. Under their persecution, anything is possible.

"Of course, even so...it is still unreasonable to kill uncoded individuals who do not threaten themselves or have no murder charges. We have already punished the relevant executive officers and trained the remaining executive officers. Please be assured that all executive officers are within the company's control and would not normally be present in Uptown."

This is the best way to deal with it.

It would be absolutely impossible to lie, which would drastically reduce Russell's own credibility. He will not burn out to this extent for Tianen Group.

He can only induce topics without lying.

People who have become accustomed to the "first consensus" are afraid of executives who will kill people.

As for the sacrifice of the executive, people don't care too much.

After all, people actually know that some of the executive officers are serious criminals... This has never been a secret.

It's just that the executives are wearing masks, so people pretend not to know.

In their view, whether they are orthodox executives with high salaries, serious criminals who are forced to be cannon fodder, or uncoded people in the lower city, it is best to die together. They have no feelings for the company and no mercy for these criminals.

But they will be afraid of them - after all, they were really criminals before.

What if the executive went crazy and took to the streets with deadly weapons?

People don't know that their life and death are controlled by chips, and they won't tell people...because it will arouse people's fear of chips.

On the other hand, people don't want the executive to lose. After all, the executive officer is reasonable, but the criminal organization in Lower City is not.

Therefore, although the Executive Department is strictly a game between "criminals" and "fugitives", if Russell reported a real battle loss ratio, then people would still worry about whether the Executive Officer can protect them.

After saying goodbye to Miss Bai Xue, Russell wandered back to the office with a faint sense of guilt.

The deeper he gets into this important work, the more clearly he realizes that there is indeed nothing good in this world.

Companies are not a good thing, and uncensored people are even less so. There are also a lot of rubbish and beasts among the executive officers...and the same goes for the media.

Although Russell is not like a bad person, he does not hide his direct insults.

But he was able to handle this matter well because Miss Bai Xue had actually been sending messages to Russell.

She did not ask about topics such as "the injuries of other executive officers", "how the two executive officers will deal with it specifically", "what the arrested criminal organizations have done" - although the topic seemed very sharp. , but in fact they are all Russell can answer.

Then Russell became acutely aware of one thing.

The Xiao Liuli incident actually completed a higher-level game in the deep water that he couldn't see.

Although I don't know what happened, the traitor who arranged for Xiao Liuli to come in before should be dealt with.

The controller behind Bai Xue, who was replaced, was a faction closer to the Tianen Group. Or simply the headquarter of Tianen Group.

As long as she's here, there shouldn't be any big news.

"Are you okay?"

Delphinium looked at Russell floating in like a ghost, took a sip of coffee and asked worriedly: "Are you tired?

"It's really tiring to deal with those reporters... There's nothing going on here. You can go back and take a rest in the afternoon."

"I'll go back after dinner."

Russell lay down on the sofa and said in a low voice: "It would be a shame not to eat from the company... I will do my best to support the poor company!"
