death of hope

Chapter 961: Psychic Storm (37) Director's Assistant

(I heard from a colleague at a drinking party a while ago that the director’s personal assistant is paid very well, but always leaves after working for a few months.

Every time this happened, the director would get worried, and the institute's human resources department would have to contact major headhunting companies in the city to recruit talent from the entire New Sapporo society.

So that's the truth. He didn't resign, but died on duty, and the news was kept secret...

just now…

My turn...)
The ominous premonition made his scalp tingle. Leon was speechless for a moment, staring at the black and white photo of Mr. Diego in a daze.

A researcher was watching for fun and thought;

(This silly boy is such a fool. He knows nothing and was tricked by the teacher into coming here to die.)
Joseph broke the awkward silence: "Fear of the unknown is human instinct. You don't have to be ashamed of it."

"No! I'm not scared! I just..." Li Ang hurriedly defended himself, trying to maintain his pitiful self-esteem.

·
Joseph squinted his eyes, looked at the black-and-white portrait in the frame, then looked at the hesitant Li Ang, and softened his tone:
"I'm sorry, I'm telling you this now. I'm not hiding it from you on purpose, but this matter involves company secrets. If it's leaked, even I will be in trouble."

"I... I understand... This is the rule. Director, you don't have to apologize for it..." Li Ang was like a deflated ball. Most of his initial confidence was gone. He spoke haltingly and hesitantly.

Seeing the other party like this, Joseph smiled and thought that it was a sure thing.
"Well, now that things have come to this, there is no need to hide it from you. The person in the photo is my former assistant, Mr. Diego. His work is quite challenging.
More exciting than an interstellar hulk scavenger, more dangerous than an interstellar drilling platform worker, facing the most powerful psykers, and you will be doomed if you are not careful. "

Seeing that Li Ang was still hesitating, the doctor used provocation:

"I won't force you, kid. If you want to quit, you can leave Area B14 right now and go back upstairs to continue being your security supervisor. You can still contribute to the company and live a comfortable life.

But then again, high risks come with high rewards, and it will be difficult for you to come across such a good promotion opportunity as today in the future.

After Diego's death, I have informed the Human Resources Department to recruit from the public. Soon there will be hundreds of fearless candidates for trial.
In order to seize this opportunity to move up the social ladder, some poor boys are willing to risk their lives to fight for it.
After all, the Terra Federation lacks everything except people."

·
This last sentence was particularly heartbreaking, reminding Li Ang of the pain he experienced when he was rejected everywhere in his search for a job after being exiled.

The researchers in Area B14 were watching this ignorant lamb waiting to be slaughtered. Most of them were watching with indifference. Some showed pity, while others laughed and mocked:

"Look, he's scared. Another cowardly guy~"

These words hit the nail on the head. Leon Vilnius's face was burning as he thought of the shame of being exiled. He could be called a bastard and a beggar, but he could not stand being called a coward.

Can be killed, but not frightened to death,
That was because he was a man from the Vilnius family, a family with a long history of knights.

After losing everything... the only thing left is dignity...

·
"I'm willing to try this job, Chief."

Li Ang puffed out his chest and looked at the researcher who had just mocked him in revenge:
"Where is Diego-senpai's workstation? I'll pack up and move over right away."

"Don't worry, I'll take you to your workstation later~" Joseph's old face was full of wrinkles:

"This job is not that easy. You have to prove that you are qualified."

"I'm ready to be tested!"

Leon was full of confidence. He thought that he had fought back and forth with the Eldar pirates in the past and used a chainsaw axe to fight against the aliens' lightsabers. What kind of monster in this laboratory could he not deal with?

"Very good! Very energetic!"

Joseph praised, turned around and waved to the students: "Don't stand here and watch the fun, go to work, kids~
Come with me over here and let's see if you are qualified to take over Diego's job~"

"I will fight to the death, Chief."

"Good boy, it will be fine~"

·
Joseph motioned Leon to follow him, picked up the magnetic card and approached the gate. The heavy pneumatic door suddenly rose up.
The room was filled with white disinfectant smoke, and it was unclear what was ahead. He didn't know if he would be carried out if he walked in, just like his predecessor Mr. Diego, and become a black and white photo hanging on the wall.

Throwing aside fear and hesitation, with full of ambition, Leon moved forward without hesitation. No matter whether the fate that awaits him is opportunity or disaster, he will face it calmly.

Before following the doctor into the mist, a short and fat female researcher turned back and glanced at him secretly.

There was some pity in that look.

It's like looking at a dead person.
