Chapter 8 Temporary Worker
And...
Li Pan looked up at the ceiling. The secret door of the secret passage was in warehouse No. 7 on the third underground floor, which was directly below the monster warehouse. If that trapezoidal container is really a 'coffin', then the longer bottom edge is the open coffin board, right?
In other words, the 'coffin' was held upside down...
Then Li Pan actually saw that there was a keyhole on the ceiling of the third underground floor.
Is it really a coffin?
Or was it because he happened to be carrying the 'key' so he could see the 'door'...
Li Pan swallowed and looked at the figure of the company in the surveillance camera, which was like a whirlwind, chopping the Whirlpool Gang into pieces, and knew that he had no hesitation. Time to tangle.
If the monster really fell into the opponent's hands, the head office would send another email asking him to snatch the monster back. Li Pan asked himself that he didn't have the ability to challenge this ninja killer dog alone.
So he moved the ladder, took out the key and opened the 'door' on the ceiling.
But it would be more accurate to say that a hole was opened.
It's like lifting the attic flap, but the hole is only big enough for someone to stick their head in.
The hole was pitch black, and he didn't know what was inside. Li Pan didn't dare to risk his life by sticking his head in, so he put his left hand into the hole to fish it out.
Anyway, he has experience, and the worst he can do is break his hand again.
After touching it for a few times, Li Pan felt like he had touched something, but the thing was so fluffy that it frightened him, and it poked a little too far, so he couldn't reach it, so he tiptoed on the ladder. Reach in and hook with your fingertips.
Fortunately, the thing seemed to be a sphere, and it rolled back from the inside. He just happened to catch a handful and take it out.
What is this? It's so dark, it looks like...a ball of wool?
The texture of this ball of thread is very similar to human hair, just like the hair ball that gets stuck in the drain when you take a shower. It is dirty and wet and feels disgusting to the touch.
Li Pan subconsciously thought that he had caught a ball of dirt, but when he turned around to look, the hole opened by the silver key had disappeared.
So this disgusting thing is indeed a 'monster'?
No matter, the things have been obtained anyway, the warehouse infrastructure can be rebuilt by the cleaners, the Whirlpool Gang seems to be almost dead, and the surveillance video has been downloaded to the chip, so let's withdraw.
So Li Pan put the ball of wool in his inner pocket, returned the same way, and evacuated it from the sewer.
Interestingly, when Li Pan passed by the entrance of the secret passage, he discovered that within a short time, the sebum all over the body of the monster crucified at the entrance of the secret passage had rapidly rotted and dissipated, and even the bones had rotted into a large pool of asphalt-like black pus. The pus was so smelly that Li Pan had to ask Xingtian's system to turn off his sense of smell to avoid fainting. Naturally, in a place like the sewer, this strong smell also attracted a lot of flies, bugs, cockroaches, mice, and ants to enjoy it. feast.
This is obviously not the natural degradation rate of corpses. It is rare to see such a death in a place like the Night City that has the most dead people. Li Pan can only guess that this monster is most likely some kind of artificial biochemical weapon, probably specially designed Without the genetic lock, once the cell dies, it will immediately disintegrate, denying competitors a chance to extract and copy genes.
It seems that there are more than one or two companies that are secretly watching the monsters.
Li Pan's current equipment and level are not enough to go head-to-head with opponents from large companies. In order to avoid being followed again, he quit when he was ready and immediately took the subway back to the headquarters to hand in the task.
When I went out for a business trip, when I returned to the office, the company had been 'reset'.
So the cleaners are quite capable. They work much more neatly than NCHC. They clean up everything inside and outside the building. It doesn’t look like they were beaten to death in the office just now.
The formal attire ordered by Li Pan was also delivered to the front desk.
This outfit obviously feels different to the touch, as if you can feel your body temperature. It actually comes with a pair of leather shoes, and the size is just right. But for now, it seems that he is still wearing ordinary clothes, and he probably needs to complete a mission to activate it.
So Li Pan put on his formal clothes, threw his old clothes on the table, then took the report template from the personnel department, went to the general manager's office to turn on the computer, and first followed the procedure to apply for an interest-free pension loan for Daxiong's family.
No matter how overbearing Monster Inc. is, all contact information of direct former employees will be deleted. Big Bear is also a veteran and is registered as a citizen in the system. If his family, especially his children, can apply for war orphans' pension, at least they won't have to worry about mortgage debt and living on the street until graduation.
Providing guarantees for Daxiong and applying for loans in the name of the company's general manager was all Li Pan could do.
After finishing these personnel applications, he retrieved the monster file in Warehouse No. 7 and prepared to write a report to the head office to show his merit and request for promotion and salary increase.
Finally, the company's shabby computers still have the monster's information saved. In the product catalog folder, there are just too many deletions, all kinds of (deletions), which makes Li Pan's eyes dazzled... 'A mess/death
' Bond, identification, red, uncontrollable.
A mess/death bond, very dangerous. Legend has it that the earliest form of existence was...the shroud...after the incident...it split into a mess.

The apostle of... cannot be destroyed before completing the obsession in life. Once the obsession of the dead is completed, the death contract is deemed to be completed, and the container upgraded to... will be pulled ...The clone is coming...'
Someone wrote another sentence on the back of the document.
'Wherever I go, everything will turn into the shadow of death. '
Safety management measures,
updated 07.57,
'20-foot container, one room, sealed with... For details of the ceremony, please see...

Also, please regularly replace and destroy the... used to keep the mess/death bond to prevent... from ascension. '
...'
Li Pan looked at a bunch of '...' and was silent for a while, then stood up and looked into the office through the window.
Then he saw the 'dead' man in formal clothes, standing upright like a human being, grinding beans and making coffee in the tea room.
Li Pan closed the door, checked the computer, and made a phone call.
"Hey, what, what should I do if my formal clothes seem to have changed into a corpse? Do you have the phone number of the dry cleaners?"
Although the landline phone did not have the phone number of the dry cleaners, it still gave me a lot of ideas.
"Warehouse No. 1, pen/powerful expulsion,

Aftereffects,

The duration depends on the resistance of the 'Justice' monster to stick damage and the user's physical fitness.

Hiss...fuck me...temporary workers have no human rights, right..."
Li Pan took a deep breath ,
"And don't you have some normal stuff in your warehouse? What the hell is this a bad idea? It's either eye-piercing or cane-killing, or it's pregnancy and transformation? You can't put some humane stuff in your office. What! I don’t know, like R!P!G!”
However, the phone ignored Li Pan’s roar and replied,
“Formal/Guardian can be immune to damage from most level five military weapons.”
“…Wow, so awesome. Can the projectile cannon be stopped? What about the naval gun?"
"The formal suit/guardian is not a perfect defense, but an immortal guardian. As long as it does not die and there is no rule conflict, it can be reset. "
The echo on the other side of the phone paused,
"No formal guardian has ever signed a contract with a mess/death bond. Maybe I should use a pen/powerful expulsion. This is currently the strongest opponent in the 0791 branch. Monster methods can be effective on most monsters. "
Is it the strongest... No. 1..."
Li Pan took a look at the file of fountain pen/powerful expulsion from the directory,
"This blindness cannot be reset. Can it be used to install a prosthetic eye card bug?" And what the hell is permanent sadness? Why don’t I have the permanent sadness of the rich second generation? "
Landline explains,
"It's permanent sadness and permanent blindness.
The conditions for use of most monsters include self-inflicted sacrifice, and in most cases, there is no energy transfer such as equivalent exchange, so there are no formulas or experimental principles.
And in what way, at what price, the sacrifice can be exchanged for what degree of power, it depends more on the will of the monster on that side.
Each employee is only recommended to use the pen/powerful expulsion once. In fact, most people commit suicide by deleting files due to permanent sadness after the first use.
A small number of people who survived have not regained the light, but can use auxiliary prostheses for disabled people similar to echolocation systems and ultrasonic radars.
Therefore it is recommended for use by temporary workers. "
" Damn, it's just a way of killing a thousand people and damaging yourself eight hundred dollars. Thank you. "
Someone handed him coffee next to him. Li Pan was staring at the computer and making phone calls. He subconsciously took it and took a sip. Then he realized what he was doing and turned around to take a look. The
man in formal attire brought him the brewed coffee and looked at him to thank him. , and bowed, as elegant as a butler.
The ball of black wool was stuck to the chest of the formal suit, and from a distance it looked like a black corsage was blooming.
Li Pan looked at the other person's leaving back and said, "Hey, that's What the hell..."
Landline, "How do I know? I'm just a phone. "
Tsk, none of them are reliable.
Li Pan hung up the phone and went out to take a look. He saw that the fake corpse prepared coffee for each table, and then went to stand at the front desk.
But he limped when he walked. Because one of the trouser legs was scratched before...
Li Pan scratched his head, stepped forward and patted the formal shoulder and said,
"Hey, brother, do you still have any unfulfilled wishes?" "
The formal man bowed to him, and then wrote in the memo.
'Transformed'
Li Pan almost shed tears. I really wanted to recite a poem.
Boil the beans and burn the pods, and the beans weep in the cauldron. They are originally from the same root, so there is no need to fry them in a hurry.
Alas, leave him alone. It takes three years for a temporary worker to become a regular employee. In a sense, he is considered safe, right?
What's more, Monsters Inc. is such a piss-poor and uses temporary workers to death. Even if he is still alive in formal clothes three years later, it is a miracle that he is still alive. When the time comes, just throw it to the next general manager. You have to trust in the wisdom of future generations.
So Li Pan changed the report, took a photo of the fake corpse in formal attire, wrote a resume for it, and named it 'Mr.007'. The general manager signed and agreed to hire him as a temporary worker, and it was the same as today's business report. And take the photo to the head office.
After a while, a signed and sealed report came back with a buzz.
Bala, bala, bala, Daxiong’s work-related injury pension requires the signature of the immediate relative beneficiary before it can be applied for.
Bala, bala, bala, a mess/the death bond seal is completed, and a silver key is awarded.
Bala Bala Bala, recognized 'Mr.007' as a temporary worker, filing number 0791002.
Li Pan, "..."
Well, he can also see the style of Monster Company. People don't expect you to be able to make the company more organized. In other words, in the monster business, you want everything to go as you wish. is the most impossible.
So as long as the core asset 'monster' is not lost, you can save it however you want, and deal with it however you want. Even if you call in the Dead Apostles as temporary workers, that's your responsibility as the general manager. As long as you don't deal with any messy things. It also caused all employees to delete files. All business processes were within the discretion of the general manager.
When Li Pan got the second key this time, he immediately saw the keyhole on the side of his heart in his formal clothes.
So he didn't hesitate and used the key directly...
"Why doesn't there seem to be no reaction? What is your trial specifically?"
Li Pan turned to ask 'Mr.007'.
The other party also had experience and wrote in the memo,
'Just go back and take a nap. Li
Pan looked at the sky and nodded,
"Okay, I'm off work, remember to turn off the lights."
So Li Pan walked into the elevator, looked at 'Mr.007' and bowed to him, and the company door slowly opened. closure.
