Nightmare wake up

Chapter 28 Respect for Power
The first and second floors were a little noisy. There were inspectors in black uniforms walking around the corridor. One person and one cat did not go to the main entrance, and went up to the third floor along the outer stairway.

In contrast, the third floor was much quieter, and hurried footsteps could be heard occasionally from below. There were dozens of offices with dark green wooden doors on both sides of the long and narrow corridor. A front desk was facing the outside across the stairs. Metal railings blocked off the entire corridor, and hung a sign saying "No entry for idlers".

Behind the front desk was a girl with pale blond hair, her head lowered in trance, fiddling with a fountain pen in her hand.

"Carlisle, have you lost your love again?" Uncle Cat jumped onto the table and shouted at the girl behind.

"Yeah~~ Uncle Cat!" The blond girl was startled by the sudden voice, and raised her head, revealing a fair face with a few faint freckles on her nose.

"Why are you back? Isn't it a month-long field mission?" The girl asked in surprise, stood up, and then saw the unpredictable standing behind the desk: "Who is he?"

The girl is over 175, wearing wedge heels is almost as tall as Mochi, her slender figure is matched with the black uniform of the Supervisory Office, she looks very neat...

"New colleague!" Uncle Cat pointed at Unpredictable with his paw: "Heart Nightmare Unpredictable!"

"This is Carlisle Payton, the team's back office executive."

"New colleague! Hello!" Carlisle Payton turned and came out from behind the desk and opened the door on the iron railing: "Come in!"

"Hello!" Mo Qi responded with a smile.

"It's so good to be so young!" Carlisle looked at the unpredictable up and down, and complained to Uncle Cat: "Finally there are young male players."

"Isn't there Luo Qing?" Uncle Cat retorted.

"A man who is deeply in love doesn't count..." Carlisle curled her lips and said with her fingers crossed: "Besides Luo Qing, the man still has a ghost puppet, an uncle who turned into a cat, and a rogue!"

"Cut!" Uncle Cat was dissatisfied, and sat on the table: "You haven't told me if you have lost your love? Why are you in a daze?"

"The hand we broke up yesterday..." Carlisle, who heard the words, was suddenly discouraged. After hesitating for a few seconds, she pursed her lips and said, "My ex-boyfriend always said that I was 'steady,' and I dumped him in a fit of anger!"

"Huh?" Uncle Cat was puzzled.

Unpredictable is also a bit confusing, and after thinking about it, I can't figure out what the taboo of the word "steady" is.

Seeing the suspicious look of one person and one cat, Carlisle stretched out a finger and said seriously:
"If a woman is beautiful, she will be attached with many excellent words, such as generosity, beauty, kindness... Only ugly women will be praised as 'steady'. He is saying that I am ugly in disguise!"

Uh... this logic!

Unpredictable feeling big head.

Obviously, she has a good appearance and a good figure, at least six points... Mo Qi suddenly felt a little sympathetic to the "ex-boyfriend", this is an unwarranted disaster.

Carlisle seemed to have opened the conversation box, and kept complaining to Uncle Cat: "I will endure it once I say it, but as a result, I will always praise me for being practical, and when I say it, I look very serious... I can't bear it!"

"If it wasn't for him graduating from college, he was already the chief of the city's finance department, I would have..."

After lingering for a minute, seeing the dull expression of the person and cat in front of him, Carlisle suddenly remembered something, and said quickly:

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! The moment I said it, it got so hot that I didn't stop the car... Are you looking for the captain? She's in the office!"

"Yeah!" Uncle Cat breathed a sigh of relief and stretched out his claws to make unpredictable moves.

Just after taking two steps, Uncle Cat turned around and said solemnly to Carlisle: "I have to use my ability these days, the parade disintegrates too quickly, it always feels a little too smooth..."

"Okay!" Carlisle dissipated the smile on her face and said solemnly.

As soon as he walked a few steps, Maou felt a faint spiritual fluctuation coming from behind, turning his head to look at Carlisle, and found that it was the source.

"Although Carlisle is a back office administrator, he is also a contractor, and his ability is to perceive danger..." Uncle Cat explained when he noticed the unpredictable movement of his head.

Perceived danger?Unexpectedly surprised.

Isn't that the equivalent of a humanoid radar? !
As the front desk of the Punisher, this ability is extremely applicable...

The captain's office is at the end of the corridor. In the innermost room, there is also a metal label in the middle of the dark green painted door panel, with the words "Captain's Office" written on it.

Unexpectedly knocked on the door, and Vera Alexandra's familiar voice came from inside: "Come in!"

Entering the door, the room is a typical office decoration, with a huge solid wood desk, sofa seats, bookcases... Captain Vera is playing with a heavy machine gun on the table!
On the sturdy four-corner bracket are sturdy gun barrels, a total of six, forming a circle. The metal structure behind the barrel is similar to a backpack strap, which seems to be able to be carried on the chest. The long bullet chain is densely packed with bullets, extending all the way. into the huge metal ammo box.

The entire machine gun exudes a violent and solid aesthetic, with no trigger, only a shaking handle... It looks like the "Gatling" in the impression.

Only the gun body and ammo box can be carried on the body!
Carrying it on your back... Unpredictable felt a tingling in the scalp, this thing plus the ammo box would probably weigh a few hundred kilograms, this is just a conservative estimate.

"It's beautiful!" Captain Vera patted the machine gun with satisfaction: "The custom-made, [-]-ring Vulcan cost me a year's salary!"

The name of the machine gun is "Vulcan"...

"Terror!" Uncle Cat muttered, "I brought you people, let's talk!"

After that, Uncle Cat turned around and left the office.

"Have you thought about it?!" Vera picked up the water glass on the table, drank it domineeringly, and asked Mo Qi with a smile.

Mo Wei swallowed: "Seeing this machine gun, I already regret joining the Punisher."

"Haha..." Captain Vera laughed heartily: "In times of peace, even the Punisher will not often break out large-scale battles!"

"On the contrary, the usual work is basically safe and not as dangerous as you think."

Well...you have the final say!Unexpectedly nodded, saw Captain Vera's gesture, and sat on the chair in front of the desk.

"You must be wondering why I am interested in you?" Vera laughed.

"Yeah!" said Mo Qi, "I am also puzzled by this question."

"First, it's because of your contract ability..." Captain Vera pondered for a while, and calmly explained the unpredictability: "In peacetime, the main job of the punisher is to investigate and hide, to maintain the stability of the ironmen society, you ability is very useful.”

"Like we talked in the car last night, people are always used to hiding their true thoughts. If someone in our team can probe the target's voice, it will be a great help to the work."

Seeing the calm expression on his face and listening to himself, Captain Vera lit a cigarette and said in a very solemn tone: "And the second reason made me determined to definitely absorb you into the Punisher team... "

"It's because of the calm expression on your face now!"

"Oh?" Mo Qi looked up at Vera.

"Contractors have supernatural powers. The powerful power given by the Iron God often makes many people lose their psychological balance, and thus think that they are superior to others, so that this mentality accumulates over time and eventually leads to tragedy." Vera looked at Unpredictable eyes, smiled and said:

"Since I joined the Punisher, among all the Awakened events that I have experienced, you are the only one who has a peaceful mind after the awakening ability... I remember that night a few days ago, there was almost no fluctuation on your face, as if powerful Your contracting ability doesn't make you rejoice and feel like you're different!"

"My interpretation of this is..."

"You are a person who knows how to respect power. Only when you know how to respect power can you not abuse power. Only when you know the value of power can you appreciate the risks it brings!"

Unexpectedly, I felt a little fever on my face...

At that time, I had just crossed over, and I was still thinking about how to get back to Earth. At that time, I didn't think much about the contract ability, and I was very tired after staying up all night...

Where's the strength to be happy?
I didn't expect Captain Vera to have such a high evaluation!
However, Vera Alexandra's words still gave Mogua a sense of mission and made her mind a little heavier.

"Okay, these are my words!" Captain Vera sat up straight again: "Go to room 308, which is the office of Mrs. Catherine, the logistics director, to collect your corresponding items."

After speaking, Captain Vera pushed over a piece of paper: "Sign your name and give it to Mrs. Catherine, she will arrange the rest."

Uncertain looked down and saw that it was an application form for the Ombudsman's Punisher Squad. The final approver column had already signed Vera Alexandra's name.

"Captain, when are you coming to work? Tomorrow?" Mo Wei asked Vera while filling in the personal information above.

"It's the same as the federal government's work system, except that the field staff take turns on night shifts, including the three-day rotation at the end of ten days. Mrs. Catherine will update the rotation table every ten days." Vera said casually: "As for Uncle Cat, let me He will accompany you for a few days, after all, you are a newcomer, and..."

"For the training of the new Punisher, let Uncle Cat be responsible, he is very experienced!"

"Training?" Maggie asked.

"Well..." Vera said with a smile: "Some situations in the Contractor World, our main work content... You have to learn a lot!"

"Okay." Moqi finally signed his name, and when he saw Captain Vera continuing to play with "Vulcan", he asked casually, "Captain, do you want to carry such a heavy gun on your back?"

"Of course..." Vera waved to Mo Qi: "Uncle Cat will tell you in detail."

Unexpectedly nodded, took the application form and left the office.

The 308 office is diagonally opposite the captain's office. Moqi walked to the same green painted wooden door, checked the door marked with the words "Back Office", and knocked gently on the door.

"Come in!" A middle-aged woman's voice came from inside, majestic and magnetic.

Unpredictable opened the door and saw almost the same interior layout as Vera's office, except that there was a sealed iron door on the wall, faintly exuding spiritual fluctuations.
