Chapter 218: Past Events of the Three Teams
Clark's abnormal micro-expression made Linn, who was a little suspicious, murmur in his heart.
Mainly because something was wrong before.
Lin En carried some files to the clerk's office and greeted everyone kindly. The little gentleman's investment with a smile has been going on for more than a month, and the results are good. Now in 404, basically no matter how bad-tempered people are, they can chat with Lin En for a few words, and their expressions are calm and smiling.
This also makes Lin En sometimes become the one who resolves conflicts among colleagues.
Because they all have a good impression and admiration for Lin En.
Entering the archives, which is filled with the strong smell of book pages and ink, the ventilation environment in this place has never been very good, and the lighting is also very dim. After Linn placed the files, he looked around with some vigilance.
A place like an archive.
Generally, only clerks will come to pick up documents, and formal members will also leave this task to the clerks. They will not waste time on difficult searches. After all, the time of extraordinary people is sometimes very precious. To take care of this huge city, the number of Extraordinaries in the [Suppression Bureau] has never been enough.
Lin's steps were gentle, passing through the beams of light projected in.
He soon came to a shelf.
This row of shelves is the files and resumes of the clerks, which are updated every four months. If you are promoted to Extraordinary, they will be updated faster, and they are placed in different places. Linn became suspicious of Clark and was going to look through his files to see if there was anything suspicious.
But Linn didn't have much hope.
If there is really a problem, then others should have discovered it long ago, and it would not be his turn. After all, the [Lamp Holder] also has an internal review mechanism.
Read through quickly.
"Knew it……"
The young gentleman sighed, inhaling a bit of a musty smell in his mouth. There is nothing wrong with Mr. Clark's file. He has seniority and entered the [Suppression Bureau] earlier than Yevni and the others. The reason why he didn't become an Extraordinary was because Bill mentioned that he had to undergo an assessment by the civilian officials at the headquarters.
Shaking his head and tiptoing to put the files in place, Linn wondered if he was too sensitive. He had been attacked before and was overly vigilant about everything.
It would be ridiculous if he became a frightened bird.
Just as he sighed and lowered his head to leave, Lin En suddenly spotted a folder with a slightly wrong color in the dark out of the corner of his eye, which made him stop suddenly. Tilting his head slightly, the young gentleman's brows were filled with doubts.
He must have been in and out of the archives a few times.
Before... was there this folder in this place?
Linn's memory palace operates subconsciously. For him, he rarely pays attention to this area because it always feels a bit immoral to look at his colleagues' files. He only came twice when his files were changed, once to become a clerk and once to become a full member. The light was relatively dim at that time, and the area in the field of vision was a normal file color, which meant that the folder did not exist at that time.
When documents go in and out of the archives, they must be returned to where they were taken from. This is a rule.
"Whoever failed to follow the rules needs to talk to Mr. Clark so that the documents in the archives will not be messed up."
Linn shook his head and pulled out the document.
The label and code indicate that this is a file from two years ago, and it should be placed on the black iron shelf in the first ring. Lin En walked over there, and then flipped through it. The familiar names in the content couldn't help but slow down Lin En's pace. This is an incident file of the Third Lantern Team, which records people from the past.
Evene, Bill, and someone Lynn hadn't heard of.
Robin.
‘Two years ago? Could it be that there was a rift between the branch and the headquarters? ’
Lin En suddenly remembered that he had used the peace meeting to bridge some of the rifts between the branch and the headquarters. As a result, he now encountered this matter again. He could only say that the fate was wonderful. It turns out that there was another official member of the third team. His name was Robin. He was a young man about the same age as Linn. He did an excellent job.
For comparison, Lynn is almost an all-round enhanced version of Robin.
Apparently Robin is dead.
The file records that Robin died at the hands of Evene. The reason was also clearly described. It was because Fei Fei lost control and turned into a living terror of flesh and blood. In the end, she was chopped into many pieces by Yevni, who was at Sequence 8, and burned with phlogiston oil.
The records on the file are very detailed. The official team member did not show any abnormality at that time and hoped to continue working. According to the system of the Suppression Bureau headquarters, the official team member should take a period of rest after completing the contaminated task. , but this official team member did not take a break, and sincerely asked Yevni to give him another chance to work. Robin wanted to get more merit.
It happened that in order to deal with the manpower problem, the headquarters issued a new supplementary system, which allowed non-abnormal Extraordinaries to save rest time and continue working.
Yevni had a good relationship with her subordinate at the time, and with the new patch from the headquarters, she agreed to Robin's request.
Unexpectedly, Robin, who was acting normally, lost control and caused great damage to the mission being carried out. This incident also prompted the headquarters to cancel the previous replenishment system. The price of training a Beyonder is at least one year of work before they can replenish it, and the system of the [Suppression Bureau] is to protect Beyonders, not exploit them.
Moreover, Robin is Clark's younger brother.
"So that's it, no wonder Ye Funi attaches so much importance to regulations."
Lin En suddenly realized that many things before could be explained. For example, Ye Funi always emphasized regulations, and Bill's aggravated attitude. But if this is the case, the abnormality of Mr. Clark seems to be inexplicable, because Clark is not a Beyonder.
If it is contaminated, the test can also detect it directly.
Unless Clark jumped directly from an ordinary person to above the median sequence, it is impossible for the [Light Bearer] to not find any clues. As for the speculation that Clark is an insider, Lin En feels even more unreliable. Whether from the perspective of motivation or interests, there is no convincing.
"Lin En?"
Suddenly, Clark's voice came from behind the layers of shelves.
Lin En's hands trembled with guilt, and he quickly closed the document and put it in the place where it should be. He quickly moved to the other side and made some noise. Sure enough, Clark's footsteps came towards this side.
"Why are you looking at the file? Hurry up, we have to set off with Team Leader Ivan."
Clark urged Lin En, and the young gentleman also pretended to smile apologetically as if he had just come to his senses.
