Another day, Li Fan came to Lantai Institute again, said hello to Feng Feng, who was already writing at his desk, and sat down.
Not long after, a young man in his twenties came over carrying a large water glass.
Then there are two other colleagues of about the same age.
"Did you hear that the Fox Bride killed someone again last night? More than ten people died at once!"
"What's the specific situation? Have the people from the Film Capture Hall arrived?"
"I heard that a group of people almost succeeded, but they were still just a little bit short..."
"It's just a little bit close, doesn't that mean it didn't work?"
"Really, I can't figure out what they do for food!"
"Alas, the situation is getting more and more serious now. In order to lure out the fox bride, the people of the Demon Cult have done many shocking things, such as arranging weddings and sacrifices for the followers under various names, and harvesting and cutting raw materials, using Some cruel methods were used to torture beggars and refugees..."
"Wait a minute, holding a wedding can also be said to be an attempt to transform the guests into demons. Why is this harvesting and cutting?"
"Of course it's also to strengthen the Fox Bride! Don't you know? Weirdness is the incarnation of rules and obsessions. There is also a folk saying that zombies and ghosts die because of injustice and turn into ghosts to seek revenge. Some demon cultists take it for granted that this can Create evil spirits and increase the power of treachery..."
"I see, this is simply aiding the evildoers!"
"Who says it's not the case? The original weakness of evil demons is that they lack wisdom, foresight, and long-term development. As a result, being guided in this way, the possibility of being promoted to a great demon has indeed been greatly improved."
Listening to the discussion of several people, Li Ao shook his head helplessly.
In the past few days, he had made acquaintance with several people in the institute, especially at the peak of chatting together now. Yu Liang, Fang Hong, and Fan Renyong seemed to have similar interests.
They became friends because of talking about military affairs on paper. They talked loudly one after another, gave advice, made suggestions for their colleagues on the front line, and thought of some ways to improve the system and improve efficiency, but they still lamented over and over again that there was nothing they could do.
In fact, during this incident, some of the problems exposed within the Demon Suppression Division were quite serious.
The case of the Fox Bride has been handled over and over again, but it has not been solved, and the secret has been leaked, causing a greater crisis.
This may be related to the fact that there are many internal factions, mutual constraints, unclear personnel rights and responsibilities, and uneven quality.
Li Fan originally wanted to show off his skills as a time traveler, using methods such as connectionist models and citation network analysis to sort out weird elements, and preside over the construction of a knowledge map corresponding to weird things in the Lantai Institute, so as to reform the information system and document organization methods.
But as soon as he made a suggestion, Gao Feng and others pointed out that these ideas were unrealistic.
After all, weird things still have to be investigated by people.
If the various departments of the Demon Suppression Department were not so unified and confused, with unclear powers and responsibilities, and if the organization and scope of powers of the Demon Suppression Department could be expanded, and the powers of reconnaissance, interrogation, and hunting and killing could be integrated into one unified management...
Just relying on the set of intelligence work methods inherited from Jin Yiwei is completely sufficient.
But the fact is that there are not so many ifs at all.
The more important the strange power is, the less likely it is to be easily controlled by a department of the Demon Suppression Division.
But those things that Li Ao proposed were not completely useless. At least a group of people in Gao Feng looked at him with admiration.
Because this is the embodiment of true knowledge and education.
They never expected that the son of Marquis Wu'an, who looked like an ordinary dude, would actually show off his talents and have some unique insights into many things.
"That's right." At this time, Fang Hong, who was holding a large water cup, suddenly said the latest news, "It seems that the Governor's Mansion can't wait any longer, and has ordered all departments of our department to dispatch elites to join the reconnaissance. Do you think the institute will Are you also assigned the task of being assigned abroad?"
The Fox Bride case is progressing slowly. I don’t know how many people have been criticized and punished. Everyone is looking forward to a fierce person coming from the sky, no matter who it is, to come and save everyone from the fire and water.
But since we can’t mobilize so many people at once, we can only apportion them from various departments.
Not just anyone can be qualified to investigate weird things. At the very least, one must have the authority to know weird things and the ability to master rare treasures and weird things.
Knowing nothing, having nothing, it is impossible to carry out the mission alone, and it needs to be led by a formal member of the Demon Suppression Division.
When Li Fan learned this, his heart suddenly moved.
I am not willing to stay in this Lantai Institute and watch secret files quietly. Isn't this a good opportunity?
"Regardless of whether we will be assigned tasks in the institute, let's take the initiative to volunteer!"
"Take the initiative?"
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be stunned.
Li Fan looked around at everyone.
Among them, Gao Feng was the first friend he met and was also his neighbor in the office.
"Gaofeng, you are a new Jinshi sent by the civil service. According to the rules a hundred years ago, you should be a noble person studying in the Hanlin Academy or other places. But these days, with the rise of weirdness, you still need to understand it first. Strange things.
Are you really willing to live here in Lantai, reading books and writing papers all day long? "
Yu Liang was a concubine born in a general family. The purpose of coming here was very simple, just to improve his family background and find a future.
"Yu Liang, you spent thousands of taels of silver when you entered this Lantai Institute. You are really a big injustice!
But you haven’t loved studying literature since you were a child, and so far you are only proficient in literature. If you really continue like this, what good future can you have? "
Fang Hong is the son of Uncle Fu Chang and a member of the noble circle.
He came closer, making friends purely for the sake of making friends, and they were natural allies.
Li Fan did not persuade others to advance, but firmly grasped the personal realization of this point.
"Brother Fang, you actually want to do something great and impress your family, right?"
As for Fan Renyong, he is a son of a minor nobleman whose family has fallen into decline. He has no title left in his family, and he is more interested in making contributions.
He probably really wanted to do something great and didn't want to drink tea and read newspapers here at Lantai Institute.
Li Fang didn't even need to say anything to him, he immediately said excitedly: "I support Guan Yun's proposal. If we take the initiative, we will surely get this opportunity!"
That's right, the assigned tasks that others regard as drudgery may involve patrolling, investigating, and participating in front-line investigations, but it is an opportunity for him!
This is called his arsenic and my honey.
With a smile on his face, Li Ao responded: "If everyone agrees, I can go to Mr. Palm Print and tell him!"
Everyone looked at each other, and as expected, they all agreed.
How can talking on paper compare to "I can do what I do"?
They are all young people, not old salted fish.
The most important thing is that if they can make meritorious deeds, they will be truly rewarded and gain huge benefits.
Unlike those people who have no background and just throw it away casually.
Zhong Gu soon learned of Li Chuan's plan, and nodded in agreement: "The Governor's Mansion is urging you to hire someone, and just in time, you will be promoted to chief scribe, appointed to the post of chief of the corps, supervising the compilation and recording of affairs, and leading the corps. The men and horses will investigate on behalf of our Lantai Institute on the front line!"
This is to understand the idea, carry out the orders of the governor's office, and promote Li Chuan by the way.
With a little credit or hard work, you can be promoted three levels in a row and be assigned to a higher position.
The maternal relatives really had no choice but to hold their noses and agree.
At this point, Li Chuan can be regarded as having his own team in Lantai Institute, and he can also be sent out on official business to do things freely.
