"Hello, I am the director of the Lucky Ancient God Firm. Now our firm is short of some manpower due to business development. As long as you are willing to sign a contract and work with the firm, you can take any management position as the firm grows in the future. pick!"
At first, Wu Ming was confused when the doll girl suddenly attacked Elizabeth. Then he was confused when he discovered that the doll girl was actually a plastic villain who had become a spirit. Then, he said a loud "bb" sentence midway and knocked Elizabeth away. Wu Ming was still confused during the double fight with the doll girl. Finally, when this creature that somehow crossed over from the magical girl world appeared in front of him and spoke human words, Wu Ming expressed He showed great calmness and acceptance - because the three views he had established for more than 20 years were finally shattered, and he completely gave up thinking about rationality.
Wu Ming naturally knew this creature, or in other words, he knew the image of this creature and the meaning behind this image.
Incubator, also known as Kyubey, a character in the famous depressive magical girl animation, an alien intelligent creature, an omnivorous diet including but not limited to bread, biscuits, sandwiches and various snacks, as well as his own corpse, often haunts The girls around the age of 12 to 14 use malicious tricks such as cuteness to deceive their trust. They use "your wishes can come true" as bait to trick the girls into signing a black-hearted magic contract, and finally squeeze out all the value of the girls.
Therefore, Wu Ming couldn't believe any suggestion made by this creature or anything he said: "I don't dare to sign this contract just because of your notorious liar. Who knows if I will?" You will be forced to wear women's clothing and become a magical girl..."
"Are you talking about my current image?" Qiubi seemed to understand what Wu Ming was worried about. He tilted his head and explained to him: "Don't worry about the details of appearance. My image will be different according to different people's perceptions. Subtle changes will occur. Of course, if you don’t like it, I can change your skin and deal with you. Just wait a little..."
Speaking of Kyubey, it is like an image that has been distorted by signal interference. With a large number of interference lines and snowflakes suddenly appearing on its body, its existence in the real world seems to have become illusory and unstable, but this This vision lasted for less than a second before returning to normal. Kyubey squatting on the ground also disappeared, replaced by a black-haired woman with a frivolous and carefree temperament wearing a black windbreaker with a stand-up collar like a robe.
"Yoho, if I use this kind of interactive interface to communicate with you, it should be easier to accept, right?"
It originally looked like a weird creature that traveled from the world of magical girls. It completed a leap from other species to a humanoid creature in just a few seconds. However, Wu Ming felt that this black-haired woman might be evolving into a humanoid creature. There were some deviations: "If your waist down also turned into a normal human body, instead of a bunch of pixels that are randomly changing colors, it would be much easier to accept your new image..."
"I told you not to worry about these details. It will be fine if the data of the randomly chosen skin has not been fully loaded. Moreover, this is not the place for conversation. Let's change places first and then talk..."
The black-haired woman didn't care at all about the fact that half of her body was made of mosaics. She lightly snapped her fingers, and the endless abyss began to spread to the entire surrounding world with her as the center. The spreading abyss quietly swallowed up the doll girl. and Elizabeth, swallowed up the ground under Wu Ming's feet, and also swallowed up the surrounding buildings and the sky. Day turned into night, and the ground turned into void. Looking around, there was nothing familiar to Wu Ming in his field of vision, only He and the carefree black-haired woman stood in the endless deep sky.
Groups of light traveling from the distant past were engraved in Wu Ming's field of vision against the background of the deep sky. They were like candles that were lit one after another, tiny points of light appearing one after another. In the deep sky, there were more and more stars shining, gradually converging into a dazzling and spectacular starlight river in the lifeless deep sky behind the black-haired woman.
Wu Ming stared at the black-haired woman dumbfounded for a long time before speaking: "Is this the universe... the starry sky?"
Wu Ming was fortunate enough to have seen the starry sky once. As a child born in a modern steel forest, there were not many opportunities to see the stars in a city where light pollution and air pollution were becoming increasingly serious. However, being able to see them directly like now The possibility of going to the starry sky is even slimmer. If you want to look up at the starry sky, you may only have to watch the starry sky projection in the 4D theater of the planetarium, or order a British dish called "Looking Up at the Starry Sky".
"Well, every light represents a star. Their light emitted tens of millions of years ago has traveled for countless years, crossed the long river of time, and now converges into the starry sky and the Milky Way in your eyes." The black-haired woman is obviously very interested. Like Wu Ming's reaction, she lifted her hair beside her ear and began to introduce herself again: "Hello, I am the director of Lucky Ancient God Office, so you can just call me director. Don't ask me my name. Even if you understand, you will probably go crazy. Even if you are not crazy, you still can’t pronounce my name with the vocal organs and tongue of human species. Now our office is temporarily short of some manpower due to business development. Unexpectedly I just happened to meet you, as long as you sign the contract and work with the firm now, you can choose the management position as you like when the firm develops!"
The corner of Wu Ming's mouth twitched: "You're a liar! How could such a good thing happen to me?!"
The director suddenly slapped her thigh (at this time, her body below the waist had been loaded): "Doesn't this mean you are lucky? I see that you are plump, your bones are amazing and your face is rosy, so I know that you must be very lucky. , the chosen one with great opportunities, so you just think you have won the lottery, and I will draw you to come to our office to do something big!"
"I believe you! The red face is hot!"
"Don't refuse in a hurry. It's not too late to make a decision after you understand it." The director seemed to feel that he had had enough fun and waved his hand: "Where to start, ah, since you were involved in this incident because of Elizabeth. Yes, let’s start with her. You should know, right? The fundamental reason why Elizabeth came to Yandu.”
Wu Ming nodded and said, "She mentioned in the previous chat that she had been attacked by unknown forces, and she found out about the existence of the firm by 'accidental', so she packed up Xinruan and ran over to seek shelter. "
Wu Ming deliberately emphasized the word 'accidental'. After his three views were shattered and he completely accepted that there were so many magical settings hidden in the world, he began to feel that Elizabeth's coming to Yandu itself was very suspicious. Although Elizabeth did not explain how she accidentally learned about the firm, Wu Ming could easily find out the reason behind her coming to Yandu by deducing the cause from the information he got from chatting with Elizabeth and the current situation. There are traces of human promotion.
It can be said that Elizabeth came to Yandu knowing almost nothing about the office. This is obviously very unreasonable behavior for a person who is often attacked by unknown forces. Unless she was really stupid enough to be fooled into coming to Yandu by someone else, Wu Ming was more willing to believe that someone 'happened' to inform her of the existence of the firm when she had no other better alternatives. Only then would Elizabeth choose to go all the way to Yandu to seek shelter from this suspicious firm.
Wu Ming even began to maliciously speculate that even the group of people who attacked Elizabeth might be "shills" invited by the Lucky Ancient God Firm to achieve their goals. Directing and acting on his own blocked Elizabeth's other options (if there were any). words), forcing her to come to Yandu to seek asylum.
The director seemed to have read Wu Ming's thoughts: "I understand what you mean. She did not learn about this place by accident, but it was not us who sent people to attack her. It was me who gave this silly girl dreams every night, continuously. It took more than a month for her to believe this, and finally she came to Yandu to seek refuge."
Wu Ming: "..."
"Asylum - this is the main business of our Lucky Ancient God Office. We will provide shelter for some people or things with 'special' talents. We call them 'abnormals', and we will provide them with a certain degree of assistance and Asylum can meet the reasonable needs of daily life, but this kind of asylum is not free. Accepting asylum means accepting the life arrangements of the office, and at the same time, you must be responsible for any actions and choices you make. We shall bear corresponding responsibility for all consequences and impacts caused.”
"This is a kind of protection, or it can be said to be a special method of control - we provide her with a safe environment and shelter, and she must obey our control to ensure that her 'special' talents will not be exploited by others. Use it to cause some very serious consequences... Of course, in addition to this, our office also undertakes various small prayers, whether it is to find someone, go on a blind date, save the world, or ask for blessings for the exam at the beginning of the school year . In principle, as long as we can afford the remuneration, we will help people realize their wishes. In addition, there are many trivial matters and commissions that we will also accept, but I know from your look that you are not very interested in these. So I won’t go into details one by one…”
"You should explain clearly why saving the world and the school exam are the same level of small prayer! Do you want to say that the school exam is the same difficulty as wanting to save the world!"
Wu Ming now has a very strong hunch: if he agrees to join the team, those trivial matters and commissions mentioned by the director are likely to become the theme of his future work!
The director rolled his eyes at him and said quietly: "If you fail the exam at the beginning of the semester, it will be the end of the world for the students..."
"Can I refuse if I want?"
"Okay, if you refuse this invitation, then I can send you back to the real world now and guarantee that you will not be involved in any related incidents in the future." The director seemed surprisingly easy to talk to, but when she stopped When Wu Ming took out a physics holy sword from his windbreaker, he didn't think so: "Oh, yes, you have to undergo A-level memory erasure before that. Because the method of memory erasure is not perfect yet, the process may be a bit complicated. It hurts. When you wake up, you will have a splitting headache, intracranial hematoma, concussion and other sequelae, but everything will pass..."
"God's A-level memory erasure! You just want to beat me to amnesia!"
