[18:00]

Luo Di went to the Investigation Bureau during rush hour.

Although it was nominally "off work," the City Investigation Bureau was unaffected. The night shift staff had already arrived, and the Investigation Bureau operated normally 24 hours a day.

His bracelet had received a message from high-ranking officials in the Investigation Bureau, and he took a secret elevator directly to the conference room on the top floor.

Benito Oliver, Director of the City Investigation Bureau

Lena Newman, Deputy Director of the City Research Bureau

And a middle-aged man Luo Di had never seen before, dressed elegantly and expensively, with tattoos on his neck and right cheek.

Unlike the director's uprightness, this person lacked the righteousness expected of an investigator, and the sinister nature that should have been unleashed was concealed by his elegant suit.

The three of them stood at the elevator entrance to greet him; only Luo Di would receive such treatment.

Director Oliver had known Luo Di for a long time, and it was the director who fully supported the forgery of Mr. D's identity.

"Luo Di, your excellence is truly astonishing!"

I thought you were just hanging around the sorority alone, gathering clues about the organization. Who knew you would team up with the Pseudo-Human to help us eliminate a huge threat?

If the situation on Saiwei Resort Island is left to fester, our entire Pluto City will likely be threatened in a year, at which point the capital city might have to come and suppress it.

Moreover, the members of the sorority were promoted as a result, and no longer posed a threat to Human Society.

Your excellence is undeniable; even in the capital, you would be among the elite. Someone of your caliber will inevitably be valued by E; Pluto City simply cannot accommodate you.

All the necessary paperwork has been completed; you just need to sign. Your personal file will be automatically transferred to the Capital Investigation Bureau once you officially join, and your Investigator uniform will be remade there using higher-grade materials and more sophisticated craftsmanship.

"Thank you, Director."

The director immediately stepped aside, "Let me introduce you. This is Earl Sharp, the hotel manager of the Mercury Group - Pluto Division."

The fact that this person was here, and that the bureau chief personally introduced him, speaks volumes about his identity. He is likely the highest-ranking person in the Mercury Group that Luo Di has ever met.

As the bureau chief introduced,

This person then stepped forward, flashing his signature service smile, and extended his right hand to Luo Di.

When the two shake hands.

Luo Di noticed that the Mercury tattoo on the back of his hand was different. Usually, group members had ordinary black tattoos, but this person's tattoo seemed to have digital lines and shone with a kind of faint glow.

"Thank you very much for handling the threat to Saiwei Resort Island and promptly preventing the situation at the island hotels from deteriorating further. Our company will also be conducting a comprehensive upgrade of security measures for the surrounding hotels in response to this incident."

You have already used "recovered pituitary glands" as the base reward on the Investigation Bureau's side.

And we at Mercury Group also have a specially tailored reward for you.

A snap of the fingers, like magic.

A special Gift Box, encased in metal, appeared in the man's hand, bearing the Mercury Group's logo on its surface.

Luo Di vaguely discerned the other party's method; it wasn't about how fast their hand speed was, but rather some kind of special spatial technology, probably obtained from the corner.

The manager opened the box himself.

A dark, heart-like pituitary gland lay within, gushing forth murderous intent.

"As you can see, this is a special pituitary gland that was peeled off from Mature Imposter. What this Pseudo-Human fears most is a serial killer."

"I have finished the meal."

"We know you have successfully adopted the Corner System, but this pituitary gland can still be used to create seeded demons or Corner-transforming item."

In my opinion, Mr. D's iconic mask might blend well with this pituitary gland.

The relevant modifications can be handled by the Research Bureau.

After he finished speaking, the deputy director next to him nodded, indicating that he was willing to provide assistance free of charge.

The "Murderer's Pituitary Gland" was the pituitary gland that Luo Di once most desired to combine with, but now things are different.

Luo Di didn't accept the gift immediately but stared into the other person's eyes. "Just tell me straight, what do you want?"

Now that the matter had been discussed openly, the Sharp manager stopped beating around the bush.

"Luo Di, now that you have received an invitation from the capital, you will surely be able to settle down there smoothly and become a capital investigator. Our Mercury Group's headquarters is also in the capital."

As one of the top five companies, we can sign Collaborative Development contracts with investigators.

If you are willing to sign a contract with our company, we will provide assistance conditions that many other companies cannot offer.

This pituitary sample is just an appetizer; our Mercury Group has the most advanced intelligence network in the country.

Mr. Di has just completed the acceptance of his pituitary gland, and it is a very special Incarnation Pituitary Gland. Such a pituitary gland needs more and higher quality food to be fed than usual.

Our company can customize the fastest, best, and most suitable growth path for you.

For example, it provides you with detailed activity clues for various Pseudo-Human, enabling you to hunt them down effectively and quickly.

Most of the intelligence was collected by our informants in the black market and underground areas. In some ways, it is even more detailed than the intelligence from the Investigation Bureau. Moreover, we can guarantee that these Pseudo-Human are very difficult to deal with and will suit your taste.

If possible, you can also encounter the monster avatar again.

Of course, we will only provide the general area of the target's activity rather than precise intelligence, and there will be no external interference, aiming to restore the most original hunting and investigation experience.

in addition,

When handling cases Pseudo-Human in any city, you can enjoy top-tier hotel treatment, clothing and equipment management, and supplies.

Any desire to unleash your pent-up energy, such as your favorite Combat Project in Eden, we can arrange it for you all over the country.

The other party had clearly done their homework and knew exactly what Luo Di wanted.

These are exactly the conditions that Luo Di needs most right now. As long as his pituitary gland matures as soon as possible, allowing him to make good use of the Corner System's abilities, he can officially go to Hell and complete his service.

At that time, a certain balance will be achieved between the two worlds, and Luo Di will no longer be subject to any constraints.

However, the issue of interests still needs further consideration.

The "Saiwei Resort Island Incident" has already made Luo Di's name known. As long as he goes to the capital, the other companies should also take the initiative to contact him.

But upon closer reflection, Mercury Group is indeed the world-renowned company that Luo Di has had the most contact with since he began his career.

If you refuse or delay your response here, the other party's attitude may change. The next time you talk, the terms won't be as favorable.

Most importantly, Luo Di could tell that the other party had come with genuine sincerity this time.

Whether it's this district manager who was personally introduced by the bureau chief,

It was a specially gifted Murderer's Pituitary Gland.

Or perhaps the so-called customized personal growth plan perfectly suited Luo Di's wishes.

"What do I need to give in exchange for signing the agreement?"

"This requires you, Luo Di, to come to the group headquarters for a face-to-face meeting. I am merely here to convey our company's wishes."

Our company never worries about competition from other companies because we offer the best terms, and our operating philosophy aligns perfectly with Mr. Di's personality.

Luo Di was somewhat surprised that the other party hadn't signed the contract directly here, which made him feel even more at ease.

Thank you.

When Luo Di received the pituitary gland, he wanted to ask for more information about 4hs, but in the end he didn't ask.

Mercury Group's information network will certainly be able to find all the information on this website.

But Luo Di didn't want to lose interest, so he decided to explore and get to know the website on his own, as it was more interesting to treat it as a hobby.

"I wish Mr. Di success in his assessment as an investigator in the capital."

"Wait, do you have any advanced action cameras here? Something that can do great night shooting, capture precise movements, and ideally, be able to be hidden in clothing."

I want to record some things to see if there are any areas where my actions can be improved.

Ideally, I'd also like a thin and light laptop.

The director was somewhat surprised. "The Investigator uniform has a recording function on the cuffs. Didn't you know that, Luo Di?"

"I don't want to upload some of my private matters to the official website."

"Understood. You can pick it up on the first floor when you take the elevator down. As for the laptops, we have many here, and we'll arrange one of the best for you."

By the way, shouldn't we arrange for someone to process this pituitary gland donated by Mercury Group? It can be implanted as an object or in a limb.

"I'll handle it myself."
