"Go over there."

After 4399 finished speaking, he walked towards the white door.

One person and one cat looked at each other and followed behind him.

And 8848 walked at the back, like a sergeant escorting prisoners.

When we walked about two hundred meters away from the white gate, Liu Zheng discovered that it was not alone.

There is a desk next to the door, and a man in uniform is sitting behind the desk.

The paint seal and cap badge are the same, but instead of facial features, there is a pitch-black key on his face.

Liu Zheng's expression is a little strange, not because of the man with the key on his face, but because of the coffee machine on his desk.

He couldn't imagine how this City Hall employee drank coffee. Could it be that he opened the top of his head and poured it in directly?

"Here."

4399 walked to the desk and handed the file to Key Person.

Key Person took the document, checked it, and then put it in the drawer.

Then, it picked up something like a code scanner from the table and walked in front of Liu Zheng and Calico Cat.

"This is a security check before leaving the country. Check whether you have anything prohibited from taking out of the country."

8848 explained.

"Oh."

Liu Zheng calmly raised his tentacle.

He has stored most of the items in the system space. If he could scan them out, he would recognize them.

Fortunately, I don't know whether it was because he didn't have any contraband on him or because of the shielding effect of the system space, but the code scanner didn't detect anything unusual.

There is no problem with Liu Zheng, and naturally there will be no problem with Calico Cat.

Key Person nodded, put down the code scanner, and took out two chips from his pocket.

"This is a memory chip. Once implanted in your mind, it will block most of the memories related to Metropolis, and only retain a very small number of necessary memories."

"At the same time, it can also play a certain role in psychic protection. But if this layer of psychic protection is broken through, the memory chip will be burned directly together with your soul."

"If you are afraid, you can apply to withdraw now. But once you withdraw, you will never be able to leave the country again. And once you have a memory chip implanted, you cannot withdraw again."

8848 introduced again.

"How to use it?"

Liu Zheng just asked.

"Just stick it in your head."

8848 said.

He nodded, took the chip and inserted it into his temple.

There was no pain as expected, he only felt a sense of coolness, and the chip disappeared from his brain.

Calico Cat saw that Liu Zheng was so decisive, so he also took the chip and inserted it into his cat's head.

Probably cats are always in the same nest. Since leaving Restaurant, Calico Cat, who was originally lively and talkative, has become silent, and Liu Zheng is the dominant one.

"How come I don't have amnesia?"

He tried to recall his experience after entering Metropolis and said.

"It will take effect after passing through Borderlands."

8848 explained.

"In addition, although you are outbound purchasing on behalf of Bloodstained Restaurant, City Hall also has mission requirements."

4399 came over holding a thick diary.

"You need to record what you see and hear as much as possible in this diary. The more detailed the record, the higher the value of the content, the better."

"At the same time, if you encounter anything interesting or unique, you can bring it back."

"If you complete your mission well enough, then you don't have to worry about problems after you come back."

He said meaningfully.

"Name: Border Management Bureau Special Diary"

"Type: sundries"

"Quality: Excellent"

"Effect: Record what you have seen, Cognitive Obstruction."

"Note: I stress again, don't write down everything in the diary, no one wants to know how many times you poop in a day!"

"Can copies be taken out: No"

Liu Zheng took the diary, Pensive.

City Hall knows that what happened between him and Peacock is normal, and he does have the ability to prevent Peacock from attacking him again.

The premise is that Liu Zheng must show sufficient value, that is, he must bring back enough mission results.

It seems that he will play a good role as a folklorist and collector this time.

"Okay, it's getting late, open the door."

8848 said to Key Person.

Key Person nodded, took the key from his face, and inserted it into the keyhole of the white door.

The stone door, as smooth and delicate as jade, opened automatically, revealing a mass of Mist Vortex that was constantly rotating inside.

"Go in."

8848 As soon as he finished speaking, something strange happened inside the door.

An arm with eyeballs suddenly stretched out from the whirlpool and rolled towards the nearest Key Person.

Faced with the sudden attack, Key Person did not make any move, as if it was frightened.

Just when the arms and legs were wrapped around Key Person and he was about to retrieve it, 4399 moved.

He raised his right hand high, and at some point a police electric baton appeared in his hand.

Then he waved the electric baton, and the electric dragon, which was thicker than a human body, flew out with a roar and hit the arm and foot instantly.

The eyeballs on the arms and legs were immediately burned to coke by the ultra-high voltage current, and the air was filled with a burnt smell.

Key Person calmly patted it with his hand, and his arms and legs turned into countless black ash and flew away with the wind.

Mist Vortex fluctuated for a while. Although there was no sound, Liu Zheng felt a strong will raging on the other side.

"What kind of person dares to come here to cause trouble?"

8848 sneered, pulled out the pistol from his waist, raised his hand and fired.

There was no fire or gunshot. A bullet that rolled like mercury came out silently and shot into Mist Vortex.

A Liu Zheng incomprehensible howl of terror came from the whirlpool, and then, the door returned to calm.

"Shocked you?"

8848 put away the gun and smiled at Liu Zheng.

"A little bit."

He said with dignity.

"This is just a small scene. The last time it was a big move, a third of the Border Management Bureau's manpower came. Of course, I can't tell you because of the confidentiality regulations."

"But if you join Border Management Bureau, I can give you a good talk."

8848 raised his eyebrows.

"Thank you for the leadership's favor. I am doing very well at Bloodstained Restaurant and I don't want to change jobs yet."

Liu Zheng decisively refused.

Compared to Bloodstained Restaurant, which is straight forward, City Hall is a place that eats people without spitting out their bones.

And even if he really wants to change jobs, wouldn't it be better to go to the Writers Association?

With Novelist and Fool as backers, they are no better than these two Renhe who have unknown purposes and Pet-Rejection Faction behind them.

"It's okay. This is my contact information. Remember it. If you change your mind, you can contact me at any time."

8848 was not angry, but reported a series of numbers.

"Okay."

Liu Zheng wrote it down silently.

Although he probably won't fight, it's always good to have more connections.

"Stop dawdling, it's time to go."

4399 urged.

"Liu Zheng, Salmon are afraid of meows."

Calico Cat finally spoke, hugging Liu Zheng's legs and said pitifully.

"It's okay, I'm here."

Liu Zheng lowered his tentacles and touched its head, then put it on his shoulders and stepped into the mist.
