Chapter 853 [Chapter 4] 273
Fujisawa Shoji was startled, and suddenly laughed.
Different from the fake and polite laughter before, this time there is something more real in his laughter.He smiled and nodded slightly to the female Goddess who was leaning against the window with a handsome appearance and aura, and said, "That's true."
Liu Quan snorted.
"So this is really another test created by you?" She asked coldly.
"For the outstanding employees who took risks and risked their lives to find out the truth for you and overthrow the government of time, can't you show more sincerity and less routine." She complained displeasedly.
Shoji Fujisawa was complained mercilessly like this, and he didn't seem to be angry at all.He smiled, clasped his hands on the table, leaned his upper body forward, and stared at Liu Quan by the window with interest.
"If you want to be promoted, you have to pass some kind of test, right?" He said innocently.
Liu Quan was slightly taken aback. "... promoted?"
Fujisawa Shoji nodded.
"Hey~ promotion." He affirmed again.
Liu Quan: "...What the hell are you doing?! Watching others struggle to let go of their hard-to-let go of the past, is your so-called 'testing'?!"
She didn't seem to care at all about using such profound words to describe what she had just experienced - and she didn't care at all that Shoji Fujisawa knew that it was one of her weaknesses.Perhaps it was because she finally let go of that weakness after going through a painful process, and now she looks much more confident.
Fujisawa Shoji narrowed his eyes.
"Well... because the appointment of your new position may be related to the so-called 'past'..." He said in an ambiguous tone, "so you must confirm your position."
Liu Quan: "...What?!"
Fujisawa Shoji seemed to be very happy and squeezed the fingers he was clasping, and nodded calmly.
"Make sure you have enough rationality and spiritual power to deal with all unexpected situations in the future... Make sure you are not an emotional person who will put the world and the well-being of most people before your own desires—" he With a drawn out voice, she said with a smile as if she was very satisfied with her choice just now.
"Such a person is not easy to find. Indeed, Munakata Reiji is such a person. Unfortunately, as you have realized, he cannot come to us and work for us. So, we have to test it, as His former lover, have you learned his most valuable traits and virtues from him, is it worth our higher trust—"
He suddenly stretched out an index finger and tapped lightly on the table.Then, the entire wall behind him suddenly flickered, and instantly turned into a huge video wall divided into dozens of small screens.
Liu Quan:? !
She subconsciously cast her eyes on the wall in astonishment, and almost immediately realized that what was projected on those small screens was a different world.
In those pictures, there are both modern scenes and scenes with a strong sense of the times; moreover, those pictures are constantly changing.On the same screen, one minute may still display the elegant scene of people wearing safari clothes and tying waka to flower branches; the next minute it will become a dark back alley in a modern street, walking with a basketball The scene of the teenager being pushed and bumped against the dirty outer wall of the nearby building by the gangsters——
Liu Quan couldn't help but muttered, "This is, what—?!"
Maybe it was her shocked expression that inexplicably made her look a little weak. This change in aura seemed to make Fujisawa Shoji happy. He hooked the corners of his lips and gave her the answer readily.
"This is the monitoring wall. It monitors the sub-worlds under our jurisdiction 24 hours a day..." He said, turning around as well, staring at the rapidly changing images on the monitoring screens on the wall with a happy expression .
"We need specific talents to perform these monitoring tasks... The previous standards were not particularly strict, so some employees were emotional during the monitoring process, and paid extra attention to certain sub-worlds with their favorite characters... Some people used My authority interfered excessively with the plot development of the sub-worlds, causing the main line to collapse; Neglecting the poor operation of other sub-worlds, almost leading to the huge consequences of the collapse of some worlds—”
He looked at the entire surveillance wall and talked eloquently.
"So, later we thought that the standards of these monitoring positions must be raised to a strict level in order to ensure objective and focused monitoring to the greatest extent, so that most of the sub-worlds can run in a good and stable state. Because, sometimes , as long as there are some changes in the situation around a certain character, the situation in their world will quickly enter a period of deterioration... Therefore, calm, rational and focused monitoring, strong spiritual power to restrain one's heart, and rapid response ability when discovering problems , these are all necessary."
Liu Quan: "...So, are you promising me the prospect of a promotion, a better job?"
Fujisawa Shoji happily replied: "'Unstable World Monitoring Job'—just like the so-called 'Kyoto Guardian Job' in the late Tokugawa period, this title sounds very important, doesn't it?"
Liu Quan: "..."
A boss who insists on poking employees at their pain points when lobbying them is not a good employer!
Liu Quan said with a blank face: "Spend a lot of energy on staring at these unpredictable monitoring screens every day... This is really harmful to eyesight. Long-term indoor work will also damage your health... With all due respect, I Don't see any attractive prospects for this job."
Shoji Fujisawa seemed to have expected that she would refuse with some emotion. He turned around with a smile and shrugged.
"Don't be so anxious to refuse." His tone was surprisingly kind (?), as if he didn't feel disobedient at her categorical rejection.
"Think about it, in the future you can at least see some of the developments in the world that you value—or even experience—through these monitoring screens; it is not impossible to understand the current situation of some people Things—are you not happy about it?"
Liu Quan:! ?
"You said... what? What are you implying?!" She blurted out in shock.
Fujisawa Shoji laughed.
"Although you can't meet each other, you can learn about the future life of some people through these screens..." His tone was sweet, but the content of his words sounded a little dangerous.
"When something important happens in their life, although you can't be there in person, you can also see it through the screen. Of course, only as a 'surveillance position' can you get such permission. Don't you think about it?"
Liu Quan: "..."
When she suddenly received such explosive information, her face was initially filled with surprise; but after thinking about it, her expression slowly calmed down.
"You are so generous..." She even complimented her not very sincerely, and there seemed to be a bit of irony in the smile on her lips.
"If you want to do this kind of 'surveillance position', it sounds like a high promotion... But I guess my career as a god judge is over?" she said, "After all, I spend a lot of time facing these surveillance cameras every day. As for the screen... it's hard to imagine that I will have time to play. Or, if something happens to a certain sub-world that I'm in charge of when I play, and I fail to report or deal with it in time, what will happen?"
Fujisawa Shoji smiled.
"You can't let you do all the work alone." He replied, sounding like a good boss who is generous and considerate of his subordinates.
"Although we lack excellent employees like you who can solve everything smoothly no matter what happens, we don't plan to put all the tasks on you alone."
Liu Quan sneered.
"I'm very strange. If you want to take back my Honmaru, why don't you just say it? Didn't you send back the former god judge? As long as I nod here, Gojo Hitomi can take over immediately, right? ?”
Fujisawa Shoji sighed.
"No, not really," he said.
"If you want to continue to go back to be a life-long interrogator, of course you can... However, there are of course many more people who are qualified to be interrogators than those who meet the requirements for the position of 'surveillance'. We certainly hope that You can make full use of your strengths in positions that need you more - not to mention, the scope of duties of the 'spirit inspector' was taken over from the government of time; and the duties of the 'surveillance position' are our old line of work ...Of course we also hope that you will do the work that we value and trust more."
His voice fell, but Liu Quan didn't answer for a while.
There was a strange silence in the room, except for the occasional small sizzle of electric current passing through the screen on the monitoring wall lit up behind him.
After what seemed like a long time, Liu Quan suddenly laughed softly as if waking up from a dream.
"So, when I accept this position, what will happen to my current Honmaru...?"
She asked in a tone that was so simple and straightforward.
Fujisawa Shoji looked at her calmly.
"...You must hand over the control of the current Honmaru, and someone else will take over." He calmly replied, "Now all the swords in the Honmaru will be in charge of the successor God Judge."
Liu Quan raised his left eyebrow slightly.
"It's so ruthless..." She said with a smile, "What if I refuse?"
Fujisawa Shoji replied blankly: "Of course you can choose to go back and serve as a life-long trial judge... But this means that you will forever lose the qualification to know the status quo of the worlds you have experienced in the past through the monitoring system .”
He paused for a moment, and emphasized his tone a little as if emphasizing it.
""Inquiries of any kind—whether verbal, written, even simple phrases—will yield no answer. "
"...Of course, you can also choose to dismiss and go home. But...in view of the current age, you wouldn't want that, would you?"
Liu Quan grinned again and smiled.
"No, of course not," she replied crisply.
Then, she pushed back the window frame she was leaning on with her shoulder blades, and using that reaction force, she straightened her body forward, walked around the desk, walked slowly to the front of the surveillance wall, and stood there , raised his head slightly to look at the small screens with rapidly changing pictures.
Following her movements, Shoji Fujisawa turned his chair halfway at an angle, silently continuing to observe the changes in her face from the side.
However, her expression didn't change in any way.
Even if a scene she was familiar with suddenly popped out of a certain light screen - tennis court, Academy Island, Gion Festival... it was the same.
The eyes she stared at the light screen seemed to be bottomless, and the pupils of her eyes were like dark pools without a trace of light.The lines of her profile also firmly covered her young and beautiful face like an iron mask, serious and serious, as if unshakable.
Then, her eyes flashed suddenly, she slowly opened her lips, and said:
"...Let's stop here."
Fujisawa Shoji didn't seem to have expected to hear such a reply, and couldn't help being stunned for a moment.
"...What?" He asked subconsciously.
Liu Quan's eyes were still on the surveillance wall.
"I said, let's stop here." Sure enough, she repeated.
Then, she turned to him slowly, her gaze on his face was extremely calm.
"...Those precious past events, let's stop here."
