Astral Apostle Chapter 49: Visit
Overworld, July 28, 8:30 am.
Zhou Jing Shan Shan returned to her house and rang the doorbell.
There was movement in the room, a footstep approached in a hurry, Zhao Jing quickly opened the door.
"Third, you're back."
"Hmm."
Zhou Jing nodded, walked into the house, and found that it was rare for his family to come together again.
Zhou Wei'an was sitting on the sofa, squinting and smoking one by one, the smoke lingered, the eldest brother and the second brother sat on the other side of the sofa and turned his head to look over.
Families will also be notified of immigration visits, and everyone is waiting today.
After completing the final visit procedure, the immigration quota is truly set and will not be changed again. Even my eldest brother has specially asked for a day off, intending to witness it with his own eyes, for peace of mind.
Seeing Zhou Jing coming back, Zhou Weian stopped smoking.
He wanted to say something, but when it came to his mouth he didn't know what to say, so he had no choice but to find something:
“How are you doing?”
"Ok."
Zhou Jing's tone was calm, he came to Zhou Wei'an, took off the cigarette between his fingers, and put it out in the ashtray.
Zhou Wei'an: "?"
"I've always hated the smell of cigarettes."
After Zhou Jing finished this, he found an empty seat and sat down, closing his eyes and resting.
Zhou Weian frowned, took out a cigarette from the cigarette case again, and continued to smoke on his own.
His eyes pierced through the thin smokescreen, looking at Zhou Jing frequently.
Although he hadn't seen him for seven or eight days, he felt that Zhou Jing's temperament had changed a lot, but he couldn't tell where it had changed.
Besides, the eldest brother and the second brother hesitated.
The two of them wanted to talk, but looking at Zhou Jing with his eyes closed, he didn't dare to speak for some reason.
Inexplicably, the two of them felt that Zhou Jing had an indescribable aura, and it became a little strange.
I haven't seen him for a few days, and I don't know what happened to him... Neither of them dared to ask.
Zhou Jing did not speak, and everyone remained silent.
In the eccentric atmosphere, time ticks by, slowly coming to nine o'clock.
Ding Dong——
The doorbell rang.
Zhou Weian suddenly jumped up from the sofa, took three or two steps to the door, and opened the door.
Outside the door stood two people in silver and red uniforms, a man and a woman.
Zhou Jing opened his eyes and took a look.
The woman among them is Cheng Li, who was on the video call.
The man is an unseen person, tall, with some tactical armed belts added to his uniform, looking like a soldier or a bodyguard, without a gun, with a dark swinging stick stuck at his waist.
Cheng Li showed a certificate, smiled politely, and said:
"Is this Mr. Zhou Jing's home? We are the staff of the Interstellar Immigration Bureau in Xihai City Branch."
"Yes, it's here, you two come in." Zhou Wei'an put on a smile, stepped aside, and made a gesture of please.
Two immigration officials entered the living room.
Cheng Li glanced, found Zhou Jing, and immediately turned her head to look over with a formulaic smile, saying:
"Hello Mr. Zhou Jing, I'm Cheng Li. We talked. Before boarding the spacecraft, I will be in charge of your immigration work. Today is an appointment to visit."
"Hello."
Zhou Jing nodded politely. After all, it was someone else's job, and he didn't want to shake his face.
At this time, Zhou Wei'an stretched out his hand and said with a smile:
"It's my pleasure to meet Zhou Wei'an, Zhou Jing's father."
Cheng Li raised her brows, shook hands politely and responded, "Hello."
Zhou Wei'an turned to look at the male staff again, and also extended his hand: "Hello, may I ask you who are..."
The tall man directly ignored his outstretched hand and didn't mean to speak, his expression was indifferent.
Zhou Weian's expression froze, and he retracted his hand pretending to be natural.
Cheng Li smiled and explained: "You don't need to care about him, he is just a colleague who ensures that I can carry out my work smoothly. He is not responsible for immigration affairs, but only for handling unexpected situations."
"Unexpected conditions?"
Cheng Li's smile remains the same: "When the immigration officials visit, sometimes they will encounter situations where the immigrant object is too excited and show a strong sense of confrontation. There are many similar things. Later, the immigration bureau will send a person to visit. The power user bodyguards follow the staff to prevent the situation from escalating."
Is this person a superpower?
Zhou Weian took a step back subconsciously, a little scared.
Although there are traces of superpowers in all aspects of society, it is not uncommon, but ordinary people do not often come into contact with superpowers in their daily lives.
Even if there is the management of the Super Energy Bureau, the vast majority of superpowers abide by the law and integrate into the society, but because of their extraordinary power, one carelessness can easily cause accidents.
There are often similar news reports about some power user who didn't control his strength when running, accidentally rubbed passers-by, and passers-by spiraled into the sky, went to the hospital for three months, and the power user took full responsibility.
Power users are no different from ordinary people on the Internet. Some people also open social media to share their lives, especially those players in the power league, many of which have fans and fans.
But once in close contact with power users in life, many ordinary people will be subconsciously afraid. This is an instinct to stay away from danger.
Zhou Jing was too lazy to see Zhou Wei'an, but was interested in this bodyguard.
Not counting the world of alien beasts, there is only one power user Li Xiaoyin that he has come into contact with in his life. Natural awakeners like her are more valued and are unlikely to take up such grassroots positions.
Powerful power users generally don't choose this kind of grassroots work. Those who are willing to do this kind of thing are either hopeless rookies or officials who obey orders.
'This person should not be too strong. It is likely that he is a super soldier in the military or public security department who has been strengthened by genetic medicine...'
Zhou Jing secretly speculated.
Speaking of which, Li Xiaoyin gave Xu Lingyun the quota for the use of genetic medicine, and I don't know what the situation is now... Shouldn't he drink him to death?
At this time, Cheng Li took out a special tablet device and asked with a formulaic smile:
"Mr. Zhou Jing, if you have no problem, then let's start our visit?"
"Good."
The group came to the living room table and sat down.
Cheng Li put the device on the table, fiddled with it a few times, turned on the video recording function, then took out a thick stack of documents from her bag, and smiled:
"I'm going to ask you some relevant questions, I hope you answer truthfully...but before the official start, I need to confirm with you one last time, are you sure you are voluntary?"
When the voice fell, Zhou Wei'an, the eldest brother and the second brother all looked at Zhou Jing, slightly nervous.
"I am." Zhou Jing answered calmly without looking sideways.
Several expressions relaxed.
"Okay, got it."
Cheng Li kept a smile, pretending not to see the unusual expressions of the other people.
In the years of working in the Immigration Bureau, she has seen all kinds of families, and she has no trouble in her heart, but only cares that her work will not be a problem.
Just do business and go through the process, and don't care about the rest.
She cleared her throat, followed the procedure and began to walk around to answer questions. She threw questions one by one according to the manuscript, covering various aspects, sometimes asking Zhou Jing about something in his childhood, and sometimes asking him about his views on society.
Zhou Jing's answer can be as short as possible, and it is quite politically correct to say it nicely.
This evaluation is divided into two aspects, one is to do psychological analysis of immigrant objects, and the other is to evaluate the value and ability of immigrants, which is equivalent to an interview.
He didn't plan to pretend to be crazy, nor did he plan to show anything in this kind of interview. He responded normally and went through the motions.
After asking a lot of questions, Cheng Li flipped through the information in her hand and suddenly said, "You have a friend named Li Xiaoyin, right?"
“…what’s the matter?”
Zhou Jing's casual eyes suddenly turned sharp.
The other party has his own file, which must contain his friend relationship. He is not surprised that the other party knows that he knows Li Xiaoyin, but he is curious why he suddenly mentioned it.
At this moment, the tall male bodyguard who had been silent for a long time suddenly got goosebumps and suddenly became vigilant. He stared at Zhou Jing, and slowly pressed his palm on the swing stick around his waist.
Zhou Jing glanced at him, collided with him in mid-air, and then retracted his gaze.
Cheng Li didn't notice the instant confrontation between the two, and continued to ask questions according to the procedure.
"Do you know about Li Xiaoyin becoming a power user?"
"I know."
"Then did she mention to you that she has an assistant position and can purchase a genetic potion enhancement?"
"Said."
"Have you asked her for this spot?"
"No."
Zhou Jing's expression slowed down and returned to his original inattentiveness.
He understands why Cheng Li mentioned Li Xiaoyin. I am afraid the other party thinks that he knows a new superpower. If Li Xiaoyin's assistant is given to him, then he does not need to immigrate.
On the other side, Zhou Wei'an was startled.
"What, that girl has become a superpower?"
As Zhou Jing's best friend, Li Xiaoyin had been a guest at the house before, and Zhou Wei'an also knew him. Knowing that he was an orphan, he didn't take it to heart.
He was shocked when he heard this all of a sudden.
Zhou Weian thought for a while, then suddenly turned to Zhou Jing and said:
"Would you like to find a time to make an appointment with Li Xiaoyin and ask him if he can give you an assistant position, so that you don't have to immigrate."
Zhou Jing turned his head and glanced at him: "This place is very precious."
"You and Li Xiaoyin are friends, the relationship is so good, it's not difficult for her to give you the quota, if she knows your situation, she should help you... If you don't have enough money, you can put together the money and buy it for you. Come down." Zhou Wei'an said hurriedly.
"Her assistant has already been given to someone else." Zhou Jing retracted his gaze, his tone was neither salty nor light.
Hearing this, Zhou Wei'an was a little disappointed.
The male bodyguard on the side glanced at Zhou Wei'an strangely, as if he suddenly thought of something, and suddenly showed a playful and sarcastic expression, but didn't say anything.
Cheng Li didn't care about the performance of several people, and continued to ask her questions according to the manuscript.
The walking interview lasted nearly two hours before it ended, and the sun came to noon.
Cheng Li put together the thick information, nodded and said, "Thank you for your cooperation. This is the end of the visit. What a disturbance."
"Don't disturb, don't disturb." Zhou Wei'an responded.
Cheng Li didn't look at him, she put away the device and smiled at Zhou Jing:
"After reviewing the video of this visit, I will send the to-do link of the follow-up immigration process and the information of the target immigrant planet to your mobile phone, and I will notify you to check it at that time."
"I see." Zhou Jing nodded quietly.
"Okay, let's go."
Cheng Li packed her things and stood up, along with the tall male bodyguard.
Zhou Weian sent the two out, looked back at Zhou Jing, and couldn't help saying:
"Listen to me, go to Li Xiaoyin and get that assistant's name..."
"Gone."
Zhou Jing interrupted him and left without looking back.
When I came to the elevator, I happened to meet Cheng Li and the two of them were waiting for the elevator. They nodded to each other and got on the elevator together.
The elevator descends silently, without noise or vibration.
Zhou Jing looked at Cheng Li and asked casually, "Are you going to continue to visit the next house?"
"Yes, the next one."
Cheng Li returns with a formulaic smile.
Zhou Jing nodded and stopped talking.
The elevator quickly reached the ground. Zhou Jing said goodbye politely and left on his own.
Cheng Li and the male bodyguard stood there, watching Zhou Jing disappear into the bustling street.
At this moment, the tall male bodyguard suddenly said: "This man is too careless, he doesn't seem to care about his forced immigration at all."
Hearing this, Cheng Li glanced at him unexpectedly: "You usually don't care about this, why do you suddenly care?"
The tall male bodyguard squinted his eyes and said in a low tone:
"This person is a little dangerous."
"Dangerous?"
Cheng Li was taken aback.
The visit just now went well, she didn't feel anything.
"I suspect he has more than one life on his hands."
The tall male bodyguard said solemnly.
Cheng Li looked surprised: "Is it your delusion? His profile history is traceable. It's too innocent, it's impossible."
"...that may be my mistake."
The tall male bodyguard frowned and didn't explain much.
He paused and asked curiously, "What do you expect from this person's assessment result?"
Cheng Li pouted and said indifferently:
"The specifics need to be systematically reviewed... But in my experience, most of his answers are perfunctory, not to mention the psychological evaluation, basically ordinary people.
As for the ability value evaluation, based on his resume and the perfunctory answer just now, it is estimated that he will be set to the basic value level. "
The basic value is naturally a lower grade, which means that this is an ordinary immigrant, the labor value is not high, and the biggest use is basically reproduction.
The high-value immigrants ~IndoMTL.com~ tend to be technical occupations, high-level occupations, and superpowers.
"Is it..."
The tall male bodyguard is somewhat noncommittal.
For a moment just now, his intuition felt a frightening threat from Zhou Jing.
As a power user who was born in the official department and has received long-term training, he dare not ignore his intuition.
Although Zhou Jing's behavior is quite gentle, he is also very cooperative.
But he always felt that this person named Zhou Jing was probably not an ordinary person.
But looking at the performance of this family...Isn't it unaware?
The tall man pursed his lips.
However, this person is not dangerous, and the immigration bureau will worry about it in the future.
What does all this have to do with one of his bodyguards?
