At this point, the new employee testing at the Special Affairs Office has been completed.
But it seems that not all of it is completed.
In order to verify whether Jin Sichen's hypnosis was ineffective on Lin Fan or Lin Fan was immune to hypnosis, they specially found two psychologists to hypnotize Lin Fan, but they all failed without exception.
That's how Jin Sichen felt better. He slowly typed the words "hypnosis failed" on the report.
He thought Lin Fan was just an ordinary person he met, but he didn't expect that he would be the one who got into trouble.
The two words "Lin Fan" were engraved directly into his heart, and he would probably never forget them in his life.
They couldn't find out what happened that day, and other test results showed that Lin Fan was an ordinary person.
If we follow the process concluded by ordinary people, the next step would be to hypnotize her, make her forget all matters related to the special office, and then send her back quietly.
And Lin Fan cannot be hypnotized...
But I can't hold her captive...
John Woo didn't expect the final result to be so mediocre.
He couldn't make a decision, so he quickly went to find the director.
However, the director was not waiting for him in the office today, so he had to call to inquire. After waiting for a while, the director finally answered the phone.
"What's the matter?" It was a bit noisy on the other end of the phone, and it sounded like there were a lot of people.
"Director, it's still about Lin Fan."
"Is there something wrong with the test results?"
"The test results are basically normal, but there are some problems with Jin Sichen." John Woo said briefly.
"What's wrong with Jin Sichen?"
"He can't hypnotize Lin Fan."
"What?" The director didn't hear clearly. "Can you say it again?"
"I said, Jin Sichen can't hypnotize Lin Fan."
There was a clang of bells from the other side, and after a while, the director's voice came over again: "How could this happen?!"
Jin Sichen could even hypnotize him easily, so why couldn’t he hypnotize Lin Fan?
"We don't know either! Lin Fan has a gap in her memory from that day in the woods. She can't remember what happened no matter what she did. I asked Jin Sichen to hypnotize her to find her memory, but he tried three times without success."
"We asked two other psychologists to hypnotize her, but it didn't work either. Lin Fan might be immune to hypnosis... Is this considered a supernatural power?" John Woo suddenly thought of asking.
"Are all the other tests okay?" the director asked again.
"Aside from the doubts surrounding her missing memory and her immunity to hypnosis, all other test results point to her being an ordinary person. But if you want to say she's ordinary, she's immune to Jin Sichen's talent twice!"
The director, who was busy with his work, didn't respond for a long time. After a while, when the noise finally died down, he said, "That's rare. But hypnotic immunity... even if absorbed, it doesn't seem to have any special effect."
"As for the missing memory, it might just be a coincidence. Nothing special happened as you think. I remember that with her condition, poor memory is normal."
"Don't worry too much. Just treat her like a normal person for now. We already have a basic understanding of her condition, so even if she relapses, we won't be worried about not being able to find her."
"Director, I understand this situation. She should be classified as an ordinary person. But before leaving the special agency, shouldn't we hypnotize her to make her forget these things?" John Woo scratched his head.
"..." The director was busy as hell and couldn't focus on two things at once, so he really forgot about this.
"We can't keep him detained forever. Jin Sichen said Lin Fan's condition is quite troublesome. Don't let it get worse if we don't cure him. This has never happened before in the institute. I can only ask how you should handle this."
There was another round of ping-pong before the director spoke: "How about this, let her sign a confidentiality agreement first. After sending her back, don't leave yet. Keep a secret watch and maintain control."
"I'll go back tomorrow and arrange for a few people to take turns with you and keep an eye on her for a while. Then I'll find someone else to research and see if there's any other way to erase her memory. Let's do this for now and we'll talk about it tomorrow."
John Woo looked at the hung up phone and heard that the director was busy, so this was the only way for now.
Alas! I can’t remember what I should remember, and I can’t forget what I should forget…
This fucking life!
He went back to Jin Sichen's office to find Lin Fan and told him the situation.
Lin Fan immediately stated that she wouldn't tell anyone about what had happened over the past few days. She had no one to talk to, and even if she did, no one would believe her. They could monitor her however they wanted, as long as it didn't affect her daily life and she didn't find out.
After borrowing Jin Sichen's place, he wrote a confidentiality agreement and asked her to sign it, and installed a monitoring device on her phone. Lin Fan was anxious to go back.
I looked at the watch and it was already past 7 o'clock.
"Would you like something to eat?" asked John Woo.
"No, I'm not hungry. Anyway, things are over here, I might as well go home and live in peace." Lin Fan said, "If I stay any longer, it will be bad if I see something unspeakable and I don't leave now."
Wu Yusen thought so too. Hypnosis was useless, so it would be better to leave early. He was not hungry either, so he took Lin Fan to the elevator and came out of Ri Ri Hong Trading Co., Ltd.
There were actually a few people working overtime in the trading company, but everyone else was just minding their own business, acting as if they hadn't noticed.
Walking into the yard and looking at the dark sky, Lin Fan thought of the artificial sky underground, which seemed to be no different.
It was still the same car they came in, and it was still John Woo who was driving Lin Fan. Compared to the previous time, John Woo was more disappointed, while Lin Fan felt more at ease.
Along the way, Wu Yusen explained the specific terms of the confidentiality agreement and the consequences of violating it to Lin Fan. "It's not that I'm afraid you'll tell others. You know no one will believe you if you tell them. But once you open your mouth, it will be very troublesome."
Lin Fan nodded to show that he understood.
Perhaps feeling relieved after escaping his troubles, Lin Fan took the initiative to ask about Ri Ri Hong Trading Co., Ltd.: "Who came up with the name Tu?"
Wu Yusen shook his head and smiled. "I don't know. That company has been around for a while, and they've always had that name. I guess it belongs to some senior veteran. It's a bit rustic, but it's a good omen."
"Your special affairs office still hopes for daily success? How much trouble will that cause?"
"No, that's just the trading company above, Ri Ri Hong."
"Isn't that company a disguised special agency?"
"It's a disguise, but it's also a real company. Everything is running smoothly inside, it's a genuine trading company. To be honest, it's quite profitable. Part of the funding for the Special Office comes from Ri Ri Hong."
"I thought it was all your people pretending to be employees and putting on a show." Lin Fan said in surprise.
"That's not the case. Most of the people in Ri Ri Hong are ordinary employees and don't know about the existence of the Special Affairs Office. Only a small number of employees are from the Special Affairs Office."
"For example, the front desk?" Lin Fan thought of the front desk's familiarity with John Woo yesterday.
In a normal company, it is not a problem for colleagues to develop some friendships after getting along for a long time, but Ri Ri Hong is a disguised company, and John Woo is just using it as a place to enter the special agency. Normally, he would not have much contact with non-related personnel, and he would not have time to become familiar with them.
"You're quite perceptive," Wu Yusen said with a smile. "She is indeed an employee of the Special Affairs Bureau. All the receptionists at Ri Ri Hong are employees of the Special Affairs Bureau."
"There are also some key people and senior executives who are also employees of the Special Affairs Office. After all, we often go in and out of the company, but we don't have any actual business, so we need someone to cover for us. You haven't been to the third floor, which is where the general manager, special assistant, and secretary's office are located. They are all employees of the Special Affairs Office."
"Are they all ordinary people?" Lin Fan felt that if one had special abilities, they would not waste their time working in an ordinary company, but would play a greater role.
"Most of them are ordinary people. You don't think that all the people in the Special Affairs Office have special powers, do you?" Wu Yusen explained with a smile, "In fact, most of them are ordinary people without special powers, such as me."
"An organization's staffing is enormous. It's impossible to hire people with special abilities to do all the basic tasks like cleaning, canteen cooking, and clerical work, right? Putting aside the waste, it's impossible to find enough people! People with special abilities are still very rare, after all."
"Are there very few?" Lin Fan saw quite a few people with special abilities today, which was quite an eye-opener.
Wu Yusen knew what she was thinking and explained, "Don't say you saw a lot of them today. They were waiting to test you because you made appointments with them in advance. On weekdays, you wouldn't be able to find them unless you called them for something."
"Think carefully, apart from the offices we entered, there aren't any people in the hall outside?"
Indeed. Aside from a few people in the Equipment Refining Office, no one was in the other departments' offices.
"Compared to ordinary people who have to clock in and out, they have more freedom. Even if they come to work, they often disappear. We don't restrict them in any way. As long as they don't slack off during their tasks, that's fine."
"Although psychics have great abilities, they usually come at a high price. They are often assigned strange and bizarre missions, sometimes even dangerous ones. Therefore, it is unspoken agreement for the psychics to let them indulge themselves in these small areas on a daily basis."
"In addition to ordinary people without special skills and those with special abilities, the Special Affairs Office also has some professional personnel. For example, the doctors and researchers in the medical department where you had your physical examination this morning are considered professional personnel."
"There are also hackers who have emerged in recent years who specialize in targeting electronic devices. There is also a department of people. Your information and those camera videos were all found by them."
"What kind of ordinary people can work in the Special Affairs Office?" Lin Fan asked.
"Some are descendants of people with special abilities, but none of them have special abilities, as I mentioned before. The earliest employees of the Special Affairs Office were all transferred from 888. I heard that at that time, they were all strictly selected from the military research institute."
"Later, as the agency grew in size and staffing needs increased, some requirements became less stringent. Besides the original selection channels, connections of the employees, such as family, relatives, and friends, naturally became the new recruits."
"Of course, they all need to pass an examination and review. This review is much stricter than the civil service examination. Moreover, most ordinary people like these, once they enter the Special Affairs Office, will never be able to leave."
"There are also some special cases, such as ordinary people involved in some businesses. If a family is wiped out and only one person is left, you can't just hypnotize him and leave him there. Some people will be brought back."
"There are also some who happened to meet people with special abilities who were carrying out missions, saw some special situations, and became very interested in them. They were also able to pass the review, so they joined." John Woo couldn't help but smile even more happily when he thought of the past.
