Odd Containment Specialist.

Chapter 222 Can you give me an autograph?

"Sit down, sit down. The kitchen is already preparing. Take a rest first and have a cup of tea." Su Zhengyi enthusiastically invited Xia Shou to sit down.

Su Yue also sat down on the same sofa, in a suitable position not too far but not too close to Xia Shou.

Su Zhengyi rubbed his hands slightly, thinking about what attitude he should use towards Xia Shou. The title needs to be considered, and the position of the role also needs to be considered. If we just look at the way Xia Shou addressed him as uncle, it seems that Xia Shou puts himself in the position of a junior, but why is that?

"Mr. Xia, thank you so much for last time. If it weren't for you..."

"Just call me Xia Shou! Also, please don't mention the last incident again. Su Yue should also be careful in the Control Bureau in the future. Openly, I have never participated in your rescue operations. I wrote that I was somewhere else in the report." Xia Shou said hurriedly.

Su Zhengyi smiled and nodded gently: "Okay, okay, I understand. Then, Xia Shou, how old are you this year?"

"Eighteen, but will be nineteen in a few months." Xia Shou replied.

"She is one year older than Su Yue, and is the age to take the college entrance examination. I didn't expect that she has already taken on such an important social responsibility." Su Zhengyi sighed from the bottom of his heart, and then asked with concern, "Is a job like yours dangerous?"

Xia Shou thought for a moment and nodded: "The mortality rate is still quite high."

The specific average mortality rate has never been learned, and the control bureau has a very complicated formula for mortality statistics. In a department, anyone who can survive for more than one year is considered an old veteran. As long as one can perform tasks normally during this year, a first-level extraordinary person can also be awarded the title of first-level finisher.

However, the statistical mortality rate does not have much reference value for individuals because the distribution is too uneven. It is not the case that the average mortality rate is 30%, which means that % of the personnel will die in a mission. It is possible that no one dies in a mission, or it is possible that all of them die.

Coupled with the changes in the time span, the mortality rate of the entire control bureau may be only 5% throughout the year, but it may suddenly soar to 70% in a certain year. Any sudden extreme and weird occurrence may cause irreversible consequences if the response is wrong.

For example, the Black Death in the Middle Ages. Many people now believe that it was caused by the church's stigmatization of cats, which led to a cat-killing campaign that led to the spread of the plague, and eventually this horrible plague spread across Europe. It lasted for nearly three hundred years before it subsided, and nearly 30% of the population of Great Britain died from this horrific disease.

However, there are many reasons behind this, some of which involve extraordinary mysterious powers.

During that period, the death rate of extraordinary people was far higher than that of ordinary people.

"Since the mortality rate is so high, what makes you want to work in the Control Bureau?" Su Weiyu's mother brought tea, gently placed it on the coffee table, and asked casually.

Xia Shou thought for a while and told the other party some of the reasons he knew.

"On the one hand, it's because supernatural things attract each other. You should have also discovered that many ordinary people don't notice those strange supernatural people walking on the street, right? But now you can see them."

"Yes! That's right." Su Zhengyi nodded in agreement.

“For this reason, extraordinary people are more likely to be involved in abnormal events than ordinary people. However, even if they have special abilities, they cannot deal with various strange and abnormal phenomena. That is why organizations like the Control Bureau were established. In addition, there is persecution from other people of the same kind.

Now that Su Yue is also working part-time in the Control Bureau, she should be able to understand this point. Every supernatural power has an extremely exaggerated influence in the secular world.

If a person with super powers can turn stones into gold, he will usually not be a rich man, but will be kidnapped by other violent super powers and turned into a machine that continuously produces gold. "

"The man is innocent, but he is guilty of possessing a treasure." Su Zhengyi sighed.

Xia Shou nodded: "Yes, so extraordinary people who have no combat ability must rely on reliable organizations. Just like someone with a special physique like Su Yue, if no one protects her, there will definitely be more cult members trying to kidnap her." "I can understand it a little bit now. Weak extraordinary people do need to rely on organizations, so why do powerful people with special abilities do the same?" Su Zhengyi continued to ask curiously.

"The strength of superhumans is only relative to their peers. In the face of abnormal phenomena, any powerful superhuman is vulnerable, so they have to stick together for warmth. For example, on my most recent mission, there were many people who were stronger than me, but we almost got wiped out." Xia Shou said.

Su Zhengyi's expression became more solemn, and he became more worried: "That is indeed very dangerous. It should have a great impact on your daily life, right?" He began to ask indirectly about the family life of the extraordinary people.

"Daily life... Apart from going to work and carrying out missions, I eat and sleep like ordinary people. It doesn't feel like anything special." Xia Shou pondered.

"What about marriage? Such a dangerous job must have a huge impact on family life, right?" Su Weiyu's mother couldn't help but ask about the thing she cared about most.

"Wife! Xia Shou is only eighteen years old, how could he know all this?" Su Zhengyi immediately reminded her.

"I really don't know about this, but almost all the administrative staff of the Control Bureau have families. As for the cleaners and investigators... I don't know much about them." Xia Shou thought of Goro and Baihe, but neither of them looked like married people.

Fat Brother has a fiancée, and White Brother seems to be a star-chasing otaku.

Oh, right!

"I almost forgot. I want you to get me an autograph." Xia Shou immediately took out a small box that Bai He had prepared for him. He opened the box and found three movie photos inside. They were close-up photos of Su Yue in the three movies "Kill Me! Imprisoned Girl", "Absolute Idol" and "Girl Sherlock Holmes".

When Xia Shou took out these three photos, even Su Yue was stunned for a moment. She suddenly felt that the success rate seemed to have greatly increased.

"My friend is your fan and asked me to come here to ask you for your autograph." Xia Shou explained somewhat embarrassedly.

"Of course! You're Natsumori-nii's friend."

Su Yue smiled and picked up a pen from the coffee table. She signed her name on the business card very beautifully and drew a heart on the back. Then she turned it over and wrote blessings such as "May all your wishes come true and everything goes well" on the back. She was just short of leaving a lip print on it.

Su Zhengyi and Lin Xue, who were standing by, suddenly realized why Xia Shou called them uncle and aunt when they first met.

It turns out that he is a fan of Su Yue!
After knowing this premise, it was easy to guess Xia Shou's thoughts. Su Zhengyi felt that the situation was very tricky.

It’s not that he thinks Xia Shou is a bad kid. The only thing he is not satisfied with is that his job is too dangerous.

"Mr. Su, dinner is ready." The butler came over and said.

"Oh, let's eat first and then talk while we eat. Xiaoyue, you take Xia Shou over first. Mom and I will be there soon." Su Zhengyi immediately changed the subject and winked at his wife, indicating that they should have a small meeting later.

"Brother Xia Shou, let's go." Su Yue returned the three postcards to Xia Shou.

"Thank you!" Xia Shou put it in the box very solemnly, thinking that Brother Bai would definitely not complain now.
