Kidnapped Across Borders to Work

A few days later.

In a well-lit conference room of the 749 Bureau, Sing Sing sat across from three new colleagues.

Truly unique in style.

The first person stood up; his blue skin covered his slender frame, his head was pointed, and two creatures resembling maggots were perched on his shoulders.

"Hello, Director Zhou!"

The tall, blue-skinned man bowed at a ninety-degree angle, almost throwing the two maggots on his body onto the table.

"My name is Jiafeite! These two are Ini and Mini, my symbiotic partners. We don't bite, really!"

It's indeed very abstract, with both red and blue skin forms.

Xiao Jia was very enthusiastic; before he arrived, he had spent half the night on an overseas phone call with the Toad through Lingling Jiu.

Lao Mo's lifestyle is simply outrageous!

He was fawned over and called "Golden Toad" every day, enjoying the finest food and drink, and even having his expenses reimbursed with public funds!

As the saying goes, I'm afraid my brother will suffer, but I'm also afraid my brother will drive a Land Rover.

We were friends back in the day, sharing scraps of water from abandoned pipes. Why should you be the one who's now a government employee while I'm still scavenging for trash?

Without hesitation, Xiao Jia agreed and was eager to go to China on the spot.

Sing Sing raised his hand to calm him down, then glanced at the two moving Symbiotes.

"Don't be nervous, sit down and talk. Um... Xiao Jia, right? Tell me about your core competencies?"

"I can eat junk food!"

Xiao Jia shouted at the top of his lungs, expressing the pride of the working people. "No matter what kind of waste it is, I can swallow it and turn it into usable energy!"

"I can swallow kitchen waste, construction debris, discarded batteries, and even heavy metals!"

"Sir! I can endure any hardship! I can do any job! All I need is a meal and a place to sleep where I can shelter from the rain!"

Xiao Jia was terrified of being returned; he didn't want to live that kind of life for even a second longer—being pelted with stones on the street and treated like a monster.

He'd be happy to stay even if he had to eat swill!

"Stop! Stop!"

Sing Sing quickly interrupted the spellcasting; if this guy kept going, he'd sound like Blackheart boss exploiting indentured laborers.

"Don't keep calling me 'sir,' we don't do that capitalist stuff here. Just call me 'comrade,' or just call me Director Zhou."

Seeing the nervous young man, Sing Sing quickly tried to calm him down.

This guy is a real gem.

Where can I find such an affordable and practical environmentally friendly waste disposal machine?

He even saves on food expenses; he can generate energy just by throwing his food into the garbage dump. He deserves a "Touching China Model Worker Award" at the end of the year!

"Don't worry, since you're willing to travel across the ocean to come to China, you're all one of us! You'll receive all the benefits you're entitled to, and even eating garbage will be considered a special allowance!"

Xiao Jia thanked them profusely, sat back down, wiped away his tears, and hugged his two maggots, exclaiming that he had made the right choice.

The second person I interviewed was the tall, blonde beauty sitting next to me.

This girl wasn't shy at all; she tossed her blonde hair and started introducing herself:

Taming failed, so I have to eat it all by myself.

"My name is Petra. Lingling Jiu said you guys provide meals and pay wages, so I came."

Wow, that straightforward temper is just to Old Zhou's liking. Sing Sing flipped through the file in his hand, his eyes darting around, his gossip-loving soul burning brightly.

"I heard you're Deep Abyss's girlfriend?"

Petra nodded, readily agreeing.

Before Deep Abyss was arrested, the two had a romantic relationship.

Ultimately, their relationship ended abruptly when Deep Abyss was captured by Silver Peak.

Since then, Petra has suffered the tragedy of her entire squad being wiped out.

She has absolutely no interest in any fighting or killing work now; she just wants to find a peaceful place to build a house.

Finally, it was the Longneck's turn.

The young man kept his head down from the moment he entered, standing there helplessly, not daring to glance at Sing Sing at all.

Before coming, he had prepared himself mentally for the whole process.

No matter how much the leader in the suit made vulgar jokes about his neck, he didn't argue back.

The Longneck tolerated being insulted a couple of times; at worst, it would be chased back to the street.

Sing Sing stared at him for a while, not mentioning the stubble on his neck at all. "William Hanover? Come to think of it, we should have met a long time ago."

Longneck raised his head, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes.

This is also very abstract.

"Do you know Robert Herman and Bailey Hoskins? When I went to the X Academy of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Professor Charles specifically told me to make sure I found all three of you."

"Something came up and I was delayed. I'm sorry, William, for making you suffer for so long."

Sing Sing's apology completely blew the Longneck out.

He stared blankly at the man before him, whose eyes were full of sincerity, and his mind began to wander.

Suffer?

Feel sorry?

In reality, he was forced to come here.

The China man named Lingling Jiu found him under the bridge in the middle of the night, casually asked his name a couple of times, and then knocked him unconscious with a blow to the head!

When he opened his eyes again, he was found bound hand and foot and thrown into an unknown basement!

Is this what they call hiring me to work?

This is called transnational kidnapping!

But now, looking at Director Zhou's touching "the organization has finally found you" attitude...

So... I guess I came to the right place?

Sing Sing was completely unaware of this.

After all, when Lingling Jiu handed in her report, it was written with a remarkable degree of subtlety and ambiguity.

Things like "the other party immediately bowed down in worship," "crying and begging to come to China to work," and "we couldn't stop them."

After a brief chat of more than half an hour, Sing Sing was quite satisfied with the three new employees.

Emotionally stable, with extremely low demands, indifferent to money, and possessing virtually no material desires.

Their biggest demand is simply to have legal status and a normal life without being viewed through a prejudiced lens.

This is no small matter for him.

Sing Sing stood up, looking at his three darlings with satisfaction. "Alright, I'll show you around and let you experience the corporate culture of our bureau."

Sing Sing led the three of them out the door and headed straight for the cultural adaptation training center.

As soon as I reached the door, I heard a piercing scream coming from inside.

"Everyone has their own unique talents... Even if I spend all my money, it will come back again... Ugh! Who the hell wrote this lousy poem?!"

"I'm going to kill him! Where's Li Bai?! Tell him to come out and fight me one-on-one!"

Push open the door.

Daken clutched his head in anguish, clutching his scalp. He'd been reciting Tang poems so much these past few days that he was even dreaming about "goose, goose, goose."

Sitting next to him, Ichirai Hisako was in a slightly better mood; the demon mask armor on her back flickered in and out of view, clearly indicating that she was being tormented by those contents.

Hearing the door open, the two of them turned their heads in unison.

When he saw that Sing Sing was followed by three unfamiliar, awkward, and easily fooled newcomers, Daken's previously cloudy and desperate eyes suddenly lit up.

That light was like a drowning person seeing a lifebuoy, or a donkey pulling a millstone seeing a scapegoat!
