As the video content played on the screen, the people who had initially disbelieved Liu Zhigang's words now wore expressions of disbelief.
The video showed scenes of investigators battling strange beasts, whose appearances clearly indicated they were not from Earth.
Numerous investigators fought fiercely with the beasts, using various modern thermal weapons to bombard the beast hordes.
Some of the weaker beasts died instantly when hit by the thermal weapons, but many more of the beasts ignored the attacks.
When the video ended, the hall fell into a deathly silence.
A man swallowed hard and asked, "Are these beasts really from another world?" It seemed he still found it hard to accept this fact.
Liu Zhigang said solemnly, "As shown in the video, they indeed come from another world, and they launch attacks on our Blue Planet every day through various world passages.
Now, our Psionic Administration has dispatched many investigators to guard these passages and prevent their invasion of our world.
We need like-minded partners to join us and help protect our home. Are you willing?"
"Under a fallen nest, how can there be intact eggs? Sir, I am willing to join the investigators," Tang Anchun said.
The people in the audience looked at Tang Anchun with complex expressions. They had originally thought that joining the Psionic Administration as an investigator would be like usual, dealing with law-breaking psionic individuals.
Although it was somewhat dangerous, they believed their strength would be sufficient to handle it. However, they never expected that as investigators, they might have to face these otherworldly beasts in the future.
Liu Zhigang nodded in satisfaction at Tang Anchun and then smiled, "After watching this video, you might waver in your beliefs.
But that's only natural. You can think about it today and give us your answer tomorrow.
That's all I have to say. You can leave now."
Everyone got up with complex expressions and walked out of the meeting room.
"Young man, stay a moment. I have more to say to you," Liu Zhigang said.
Everyone turned to look at Lin Fei, curious about why the old man had called him back, but they had more important decisions to make.
"What's going on? Why did he call me back again? What does this old man want?" Lin Fei muttered to himself.
...
At the entrance of the Psionic Administration, the people who had come out all heaved a sigh of relief.
"Brother Tang, are you really going to become an investigator?" Zhao Haichang, who was with Tang Anchun, asked.
"Yes, I've made up my mind. What about you? Are you regretting it? Didn't you decide to become an investigator just now?" Tang Anchun said.
"Mr. Tang, you saw those videos. We might have to face these beasts from another world in the future!" a man in his thirties said.
"So what if they're from another world? Although they are larger and stranger-looking than the beasts on our Blue Planet, the investigators in the video still fought them and killed them all," Tang Anchun said.
"That's true, but..." the man continued.
"There's no 'but.' Didn't you hear what the old man said in the meeting?
These beasts are invading our Blue Planet. If we don't resist now, what will happen to our families when they reach our doorstep?" Tang Anchun interrupted.
Hearing Tang Anchun's words, everyone felt a heavier burden in their hearts. No one spoke further, and they all went home.
"Brother Tang, I've decided to join the Psionic Administration. They're just beasts from another world!
We'll deal with them and put them on the dinner table," Zhao Haichang said, looking up at Tang Anchun.
"You're right. They're just meat that hasn't been put on the table yet. Since they're coming to us, we won't be polite to them," Tang Anchun said with a smile.
In the empty meeting room, only Lin Fei and a few investigators remained.
Liu Zhigang came to Lin Fei, touched his gray temples, and chuckled, "Young man, what did you think of the videos?"
"The investigators fought bravely. These beasts are quite large. Beast meat is still in high demand at the market. If we could transport them to the market, we could make a lot of money," Lin Fei thought for a moment and said.
Liu Zhigang's hand paused as he stroked his temples, then he said, "Anything else?"
"No," Lin Fei said honestly.
"Your thoughts are truly unique! Aren't you at all worried or afraid? These beasts are very fierce," Liu Zhigang said.
Lin Fei shook his head and looked at Liu Zhigang.
"Very good, young man. We need people like you. How about it, will you join us and help protect our home?"
"Sir, I'm just an ordinary person who runs a flower shop!" Lin Fei said.
"You have awakened fire-based psionic abilities, the ability to transform ordinary plants into spirit plants, and telekinesis. You have awakened three psionic abilities.
And you defeated Tang Anchun, who is at the initial stage of the third rank. Your strength is far from ordinary," Liu Zhigang said.
"Didn't you say we could choose freely?" Lin Fei said helplessly to Liu Zhigang.
Liu Zhigang's sharp eyes remained fixed on Lin Fei, then his gaze dimmed slightly. He sighed inwardly, "Alright! If you really don't want to, that's fine. We'll meet again if fate allows."
Seeing the old man's eyes dim, Lin Fei felt a strange sensation in his heart.
So, Lin Fei said, "If you need my help for any missions, you can call me. I'll participate, but I won't join your Psionic Administration."
Liu Zhigang's eyes brightened again, and he said happily, "Alright, if we need you, Director Xie Yurong will call you directly.
"Okay. But I want to make it clear that you'll have to pay me 50,000 yuan for each mission. I won't work for free," Lin Fei said.
The investigator beside Liu Zhigang, hearing that Lin Fei wanted 50,000 yuan for each mission, immediately stepped forward to protest but was stopped by Liu Zhigang's raised hand.
"Fine, we'll pay you 50,000 yuan for each mission as a labor fee. You'll be our temporary worker," Liu Zhigang said with a smile.
In my previous life, temporary workers were often used as scapegoats. I hope they won't treat me like that in the future!
Lin Fei looked at Liu Zhigang and the others with a strange expression and said, "Alright, it's settled. I'll leave now. Call me if you need me."
Liu Zhigang nodded, signaling that Lin Fei could leave.
