As a traitor, I should raise the banner of rebellion

"There's only one thing you need to do—"

"When something strange happens in the harbor, you can't stay out of it."

53. Weird official rating

"If something strange happens in the port area, do I need to deal with it?" Yuan Hui asked after hearing what the female police officer said.

"No, of course not." The female police officer smiled and shook her head. "Although we can't say there are many, but we still have some people with your status in the Metropolitan Police Department."

"In terms of handling bizarre cases, in most cases, the Metropolitan Police Department adopts a rotation system, which means that they are handled in order."

“You can’t refuse to deal with it if it’s your turn.”

"And every time you handle a weirdness, the Metropolitan Police Department will evaluate it and give you a certain amount of contribution points based on that evaluation. You can exchange them for money, privileges, items, or other things the Metropolitan Police Department has."

"Of course, if you feel that you are not strong enough, you can also seek help from other soul binders who are on good terms with you. However, you will have to bear the cost of asking them to help you. The Metropolitan Police Department will not reimburse you. Please note this."

"Besides that, one monster can only offset one rotation. Even if you cooperate with a soul binder in this office to complete the processing of a monster, it does not mean that both of you have passed. I hope you can understand this."

"The above are all the responsibilities you need to bear."

Yuanhui listened to all the rules carefully and found that there were no unfair clauses. They could even be described as "reasonable and logical".

"Do you also rate weirdness?" Yuan Hui asked curiously, "What are the criteria? What are the specific levels?"

"This is actually a somewhat complex system. What it evaluates is not the strength of the monster, but its threat to humans."

“This is actually a standard adopted internationally.”

"To put it in general terms, the faster a monster kills, the higher its rating will be."

"The lowest level is [Lethal Level]. Any monster that kills less than ten people per day can be classified as [Dangerous Level]."

"This is also the danger level of most weird things, including the [Ghost Phone of Lika Doll] that you are bound to."

Although being entangled by [Lika] is almost equivalent to being on the road to death, if you really look at her killing efficiency, she is indeed a bit of a weirdo.

It is not hard to understand why it was classified as the lowest level, [Fatal Level].

"The next level up is the [Taboo Level]. Monsters that have the ability to kill dozens to hundreds of people in a day will be classified into this level."

"The third level is [Disaster Level]. As the name suggests, this means that once such a monster appears, it will cause a natural disaster to society. This level of monster can kill thousands of people in a day, and can even massacre an entire town by itself."

"Such weirdness is already quite rare."

"From this level onwards, the rotation system is no longer applicable. If necessary, all the Soul Binders in Minato and even Tokyo will be dispatched to deal with it."

So she just said 'rotational system is adopted in most cases'?

"The fourth level is the [Catastrophe Level], which refers specifically to those monsters that, once they appear, will endanger the lives and safety of all humans in a county (Sakurajima's counties are equivalent to China's provinces)."

"This kind of weirdness hasn't happened for a long, long time."

"The last recorded incident was almost a hundred years ago."

"The fifth level is the [Nation-Destroying Level]. This level of weirdness can theoretically shake the foundation of a country. There is no record of such weirdness in modern Sakurajima."

"If I have to say, the legendary Nine-tailed Fox Tamamonomae, who brought disaster to the country and the people, should fit this description best."

"As for the sixth level..."

Having said this, the female police officer swallowed slightly, as if to ease the fear in her heart.

"It is called [Apocalypse Class]."

"It represents something terrifying and bizarre that could destroy all of humanity once it appears, such as the great flood in mythology that could cleanse the entire world."

Fatal level, taboo level, disaster level, catastrophe level, nation-destroying level, apocalypse level.

This is how the world determines what is weird.

If it was really evaluated at this level, Yuanhui went over the two strange things he had encountered in his mind.

It goes without saying that [Lika] is at the lethal level, but as for [Suzuki Shin], should he be able to reach the edge of the forbidden level?

So what about Gabriel?

In the Bible, there is a record of her and Michael destroying the sinful city of Sodom. If it were rated according to this level, it should be a catastrophe.

But in the Book of Revelation, Gabriel is the second angel to blow the trumpet. After she blows the trumpet, the mountains burn on fire and are thrown into the sea. One third of the ocean turns bloody, and one third of the creatures in the ocean die.

From this perspective, she should be at least a country-destroying monster...

"I want to ask, if it's not my turn but I still get rid of the monster, what should I do?" Yuan Hui asked, "You also know that monsters are not the kind of existence that will not bother you if you don't bother them. If a monster entangles me and I kill it, will the Metropolitan Police Department give me a reward?"

"Of course." The female police officer nodded. "As long as you can provide relevant evidence, we will give you contribution points as a reward. But please be careful, this unexpected situation will not offset your rotation."

"Also, if you deal with the monsters outside the port area alone, we will give you contribution points, but it will not offset your rotation."

"Then, at what level can we handle it?" Yuan Hui continued to ask, "Can we just kill him directly? Or do we have to catch him alive and hand him over to the Metropolitan Police Department?"

"Just kill him." The female police officer nodded. "Of course, if you can figure out the other party's killing and action patterns and hand them in, we will give you double the contribution points as a reward."

"Any other questions?" asked Inspector Matsuki on the side.

He did not feel any impatience towards Yuanhui's almost in-depth questioning.

The more detailed the questions Yuanhui asked, the more willing he was to join the Metropolitan Police Department.

He even hoped that the boy in front of him would ask a few more questions.

"No more at the moment."

"Well then," Inspector Songmu straightened his back and his expression became serious.

"Can I hear your answer?"

"Or do you need to give you a little more time to think about it carefully?"

54. If I could be more important to Yuan Jun...

Thursday, March 4th.

Although it was a school day, Yuanhui did not go to school. Instead, he asked for a morning off from school.

Now, he was standing downstairs of Building 13 of Chuanglong Apartment, watching a rather beautiful luxury car slowly sliding towards him.

At the front of the black sedan, a winged "B" logo glowed in the morning light.

This is a Bentley.

The Metropolitan Police Department would not use a police car to pick up a distinguished guest. What if someone saw it and caused unnecessary misunderstandings?

The car slowly stopped beside me. The driver was the female police officer who came to the door yesterday.

After opening the car door, Yuan Hui did not go in directly, but slightly moved sideways, motioning the girl next to him to get in first.

"excuse me."

Although he seemed a little awkward, Morikami Nozomi did not make any unnecessary concessions.

After gathering the hem of her skirt with her two small hands, she leaned forward slightly and got into the back seat of the luxury car.

That’s right, in addition to Genki, Morikami Nozomi also took half a day off from school.

She will go to the Metropolitan Police Department in Minato with Yuanhui, and her identity is naturally——

Yuanhui's supporter.

……

The Bentley drove to the Metropolitan Police Department in Minato Ward, but did not stop at the main entrance. Instead, it turned to the back of the Metropolitan Police Department.

After passing a road gate, we stopped in front of an ordinary-looking building.

Yes, ordinary.

This should be everyone’s first impression after seeing this building.

Apart from the larger coverage area, this place seems to be no different from an ordinary Metropolitan Police Department, and there is no sign that this is a place specifically used to deal with biological enemies such as monsters.

"Please follow me." After getting out of the car, the female police officer came to the gate and pressed a button on the gate that looked like a doorbell.

The surveillance camera above the gate started to turn, and the dark and deep lens passed over the faces of the female police officer, Genki, and Morikami Nozomi in turn, as if confirming something.

After a moment, the green light at the entrance came on, and the door that was originally closed opened, revealing the figures of people coming and going inside.

"Most of them are analysts," the female police officer explained to the two men.

"Although some of the weirdos appear very conspicuous, most of them are relatively secretive. Fortunately, most of them are related to murders."

"Observing and analyzing the major and minor cases that occur in the port area and determining whether there is something strange going on are the main responsibilities of these analysts."

Yuanhui thought of the report that was handed to two police officers halfway through the first time he entered the police station.

Now it seems that it must have come from here.

"Soul Binders are heroes who fight against monsters, so we should naturally provide them with support as much as possible." The female police officer's tone was full of pride and pride. "The analysts here have to be graduates from prestigious domestic universities at the very least. They are all outstanding elites."

"In addition to searching for traces of the monster, analysts will also analyze the monster's possible killing rules and behavior patterns based on the various traces left by the monster. After sorting out various possibilities, they will hand them over to the Soul Binder for his use."

Yuan Hui's photo should have been sent to these analysts by the higher-ups a long time ago, so when they saw Yuan Hui, everyone showed a very respectful expression, and did not look down on him just because he was younger than themselves.

Not only that, some people even revealed admiration and fanaticism in their eyes.

But even so, no one came to disturb Yuanhui, showing extremely good quality.

Even though they worship the Soul Binders, they are official employees of Sakurajima after all, and not some irrational idol fans.

After briefly introducing the personnel composition here, the female police officer took the two to a room.

A beautiful kimono-clad sister was already waiting there.

After seeing Yuanhui, she smiled as warmly as spring breeze——

"Hello, my name is Saori Tokudaiji. I graduated from the University of Tokyo with a PhD in psychology."

"From today on, I will be responsible for providing you with psychological support."

After putting her hands together, this beautiful lady showed a slightly apologetic expression——

"I'm very sorry, but before you officially start working, could you allow me to do a psychological assessment for you?"

Weirdness is the enemy of life and poison to the soul.

As a person who is bound by weirdness, he is easily influenced by weirdness, becoming extreme or even developing antisocial tendencies.

Moreover, they often have to deal with monsters and walk on the edge of death...

Therefore, it is crucial to keep the Soul Binder mentally healthy.

The Psychotherapy Department is the second largest department after the Weird Analysis Department.

After joining the job, each soul binder will be assigned a team of at least five people to regulate the other party's psychological and mental state.

And Saori Tokudaiji is the leader of the team responsible for Genki.

……

……

The fair little hands scooped up the cool water and gently splashed it on her face. Morikami Xi did not use the tissue beside her, but just lowered her head and let the crystal clear water droplets fall down her face.

They fell into the washbasin in front of them, making a dripping sound.

Like tears flowing down.

When Yuanhui was undergoing the psychological assessment, Morikami Nozomi did not just stand there and watch. Instead, she was taken to another room by the female police officer and told her some things that a supporter should know.

The Sakurajima police were very friendly to Genki, and this friendliness naturally extended to Morikami Nozomi.

She was told that her academic record would be transferred from Lipi Valley High School to St. Eden Academy, and that she would also be transferred to Class A of Grade One where Yuan Hui was, and become Yuan Hui's classmate.

In this way, we can better fulfill our obligations as supporters.

But at the same time, the female police officer also hinted that she hoped she could "leave professional work to professionals."

Morikami Nozomi naturally understood what this meant.

If we consider it rationally, the professionals in the Metropolitan Police Department definitely know more and have more experience than a little girl like her. It would definitely be a better choice for Yuanhui to hand over the support work to them.

For her, not only did she get into an institution that she had never dared to dream of, but she also didn't have to rack her brains to look through past files. She just had to be a vase that could comfort Yuanhui.

This is a good thing that you can't find even with a lantern, so you should be happy about it.
