Chapter 65 Let's increase his strength.
At this point, Zhou Jingtian lowered his voice.
"You may not know this, but I once ordered Nagi to secretly track that ginkgo tree."
"My order to her was to locate the target and wait for support."
"As a result, she acted without authorization during the tracking process and was subjected to psychological attacks by that ginkgo tree."
"This is what caused her memory impairment."
"Fortunately, she was rescued by Tchaco and the 'Engineers' who arrived in time."
That's why she voluntarily applied for a demotion to become a staff member in the inspection department.
"Later, that ginkgo tree escaped to the Happy Orphanage and committed inhumane acts..."
"And then, as everyone knows..."
After saying that, Zhou Jingtian patted his almost non-existent legs.
The six bureau chiefs looked very serious after hearing this.
All they knew was that Nagi Hikari suddenly suffered memory loss and then voluntarily requested a demotion…
But I never expected that Nagi would have such a deep connection with this matter.
"Mr. Zhou, how many things are you still hiding from us...?" the female bureau chief, wearing a shawl with ethnic patterns, said helplessly.
"Not much, just some trivial matters," Zhou Jingtian said with a dismissive smile.
Lin Xiao and the bureau chief in his administrative jacket both glared and puffed out their beards.
But no one dared to say anything.
After all, he is Zhou Jingtian.
He was a man who, at his peak, could single-handedly defeat a level 6.8 anomaly.
He was the genius who recorded every detail of the entire battle with his own eyes, allowing future generations to review and learn from it.
He was the commander who, at the cost of his own life, minimized the losses during the Ginkgo Tree Incident.
Everyone present, including those who are no longer with us, owes him a life.
The monk, dressed in a kasaya, put his hands together and spoke with a devout expression.
"Good, good, good..."
The Buddha said, "If causes do not arise in vain, and effects do not arise arbitrarily, then without cause and effect, where would the world come from?"
"All phenomena are empty; they arise when conditions come together and cease when conditions disperse. All cause and effect arises from conditions..."
"Since Director Zhou has said all he has to say, in my humble opinion... let's call it a day."
Lin Xiao frowned and said, "Elder Shi, how can we just give up like this?"
After saying that, he looked at Zhou Jingtian: "Old Zhou, I understand your feelings. That child is a victim of the Ginkgo Tree incident and has such strong abilities. He should be nurtured and allowed to contribute to the Planning Bureau."
"But he's mentally ill!"
Are you trying to pin your hopes on a mentally ill person?
"Did he do anything out of line?" Zhou Jingtian asked rhetorically.
Lin Xiao took a deep breath, seemingly making a final struggle.
"Jiang Yu slaughtered 137 pigs on Yushan Mountain that day!"
Upon hearing this…
The atmosphere in the office became tense again.
The "engineer" used the blueprints to reconstruct the entire process of Yushan's mission.
The image of Jiang Yu covered in blood, spitting out half a brain from his mouth, is still vivid in my mind.
Lin Xiao pressed his advantage, continuing: "Jiang Yu displayed violent tendencies, and even an extreme personality, during the mission!"
"How can someone so unstable be entrusted with the heavy responsibility of felling the ginkgo trees?"
"He's a ticking time bomb; keeping him around will only cause trouble sooner or later. We should fire him now!"
Zhou Jingtian smiled dismissively.
"Old Lin, you're exaggerating."
His tone remained calm, even carrying a hint of an elder's tolerance towards a younger person.
"Don't forget that being at the center of an anomaly will affect a person's emotions, thinking ability, discernment, reaction ability, and cognitive ability..."
Even intelligence.
"Even long-time employees of Tchako, when in an abnormal situation, cannot guarantee that their rationality will not be affected."
"Moreover, Yushan is an anomaly of level 4.1 calamity."
"That child is just a newcomer who hasn't received any 'anti-sensitivity' training."
"His so-called violent tendencies when faced with danger seem to me more like self-defense."
"Do you remember the physical examination?"
"At the time, they were in a level 1.2 anomaly, and all five young people were affected by the anomaly."
"Zhou Zhu, Zhang Yang, Wan Jiayu, and Zhao Mingyuan all developed strong violent tendencies."
"Especially that girl named Wan Jiayu."
"That little girl named Chen Yutong has even been influenced to the point that she can no longer distinguish between up and down, left and right..."
"But what about Jiang Yu?"
"He can still maintain basic consciousness, but his logical thinking is slightly limited."
"Take the Yushan incident as an example again."
"If those five newcomers had been present during the Yushan incident..."
"Wouldn't that lead to a bloodbath?"
"But Jiang Yu did not exhibit any violent behavior when he entered the Yushan area."
"He's just suffering from a severe impairment in his thinking ability, which is accompanied by some muttering and gossiping."
"As for the 137 pigs he killed..."
"They're all beasts anyway, might as well kill them."
Zhou Jingtian's statement was agreed upon by most of the bureau chiefs.
Jiang Yu's actions are obvious to all, and they are certainly not excessive.
He was particularly outstanding in the physical examination.
The Yushan incident didn't cause any major problems.
What more can you expect from a newcomer?
Lin Xiao sighed, his voice tinged with weariness.
"Since Old Zhou has already said so much, we don't have much to say."
"Then let's do as Elder Zhou says: revoke Nagimitsu's punishment for serious disciplinary violations and reinstate her to her position in the patrol department."
"Yes, I've already informed her that she should come back to work next week," Zhou Jingtian said.
"..."
The six bureau chiefs were once again speechless at Zhou Lao's unauthorized actions.
The female bureau chief, wearing a shawl with ethnic patterns, looked at Zhou Jingtian with curiosity.
"Old Zhou, now that Nagi's matter is resolved, what are your plans regarding that boy named Jiang Yu?"
Zhou Jingtian said solemnly, "That kid is smart. Since he understands us implicitly, we must do our job properly."
"He's ready to fight alongside us, so naturally we should give him a chance to prove himself."
"Next month is the special selection process jointly organized by the national planning bureaus."
"If that child can pass the selection process, he can rightfully become a member of the Special Investigations Section."
"By making him a member of the Special Investigations Section, we can legitimately let him shine."
The six bureau chiefs were in an uproar after hearing this.
Lin Xiao couldn't help but say, "Next month? I admit Jiang Yu is quite capable, but isn't this special selection process going too far for him?"
The difficulty of the joint selection process by the national planning bureaus is equivalent to a kindergarten child taking the college entrance examination for Jiang Yu at this stage.
At least the college entrance exam has multiple-choice questions, so you can guess.
There are no "multiple-choice questions" in the special selection process.
Once it begins, no one has any choice.
You never know what the "exam questions" will be, nor what kind of desperate situation the "exam room" will be like.
You have no idea what your competitors are.
There are only two outcomes to the special investigation selection: promotion or a tragic death.
This is also why the six bureau chiefs were shocked.
Sending a trainee patrol officer to participate in the special investigation selection...
This is not nurturing.
This is murder!
No, murder requires a plan.
This is equivalent to letting him frantically prick his temples with the truth.
"Putting aside whether it's excessive or not, it doesn't even meet the requirements of the procedure. His current status is just a trainee patrol officer. To participate in the selection, one must be a formal patrol officer. He is not qualified to enter at all," the director of the administrative jacket reminded him.
"Therefore, we should promote him to a formal patrol section staff member as soon as possible," Zhou Jingtian replied.
"Once he becomes a full-fledged employee, he will be eligible to participate in the special investigation selection."
The female director frowned and said, "But... for ordinary patrol officers to qualify for selection, they must be able to solve anomalies of level 2.5 or higher on their own."
"So you mean..."
Zhou Jingtian nodded: "That's right, I want Xiao Guang to give him special training so that he can quickly grow up within a month and be able to solve level 2.5 anomalies on his own."
"If there isn't enough time, then take him into the 'core' training."
The bureau chief, wearing an administrative jacket, picked up Jiang Yu's file from the table with a serious expression.
"Even if everything goes as we wish..."
"What should we do about his illness?"
"The first hurdle in the special investigation selection process is the abnormality of 'inner demons'."
"It's not difficult for normal gay people to deal with their 'inner demons'."
"But his illness will kill him right at the first hurdle."
"Then we can only increase the intensity of his power," Zhou Jingtian said casually.
"Since he has silently accepted the truth about 'The Tide' and prepared for revenge, he should know what he is going to face."
"If he can't even handle a mere 'inner demon' anomaly, what right does he have to seek revenge?"
After speaking, Zhou Jingtian picked up the file on the table and stared intently at Jiang Yu's photo.
"We shouldn't worry too soon."
"That child, at such a young age, managed to survive that ginkgo tree with a calamity level of 8.9..."
"He will definitely get through the special investigation selection safely without any major incidents."
"I'm willing to take a gamble on him."
"I bet he'll become a sharp weapon for our planning bureau someday."
After hearing what Zhou Jingtian said, the six bureau chiefs didn't know what to say.
Lin Xiao opened his mouth, then closed it again.
Administrative jacket, monk, female bureau chief…
The white-haired old man in the blue robe, who had remained silent until now, also fell silent.
That's all...
There's no point in saying any more.
Moreover, everyone knows Zhou Jingtian's temper and understands his inner conflict.
The ginkgo tree incident is a source of deep regret for him and an indelible stain on his career.
Killing that ginkgo tree remained his final obsession.
The six bureau chiefs were well aware of the stakes involved, so they did not stop Zhou Jingtian from making this desperate gamble.
Let's gamble!
Anyway, they really wanted to avenge their previous humiliation and personally kill that tree.
Perhaps everything is really as Zhou Jingtian said…
Could that child truly bring them unexpected surprises?
