Master of Thermodynamics

Odin Island, Redstone Town Police Department.

"Name!"

A young policeman wearing a dark blue police uniform and a wide-brimmed police cap asked with a serious face.

"Wellington..." the interrogator said with his head drooping and cowering.

"Identity?" the young policeman asked.

Weston looked up in confusion, not knowing how to answer.

"Is your current status as an official resident of Haichao Territory or a temporary resident?" the young policeman asked in more detail.

"Temporary residents." Weston replied quickly.

The young policeman stared at Weston with a serious expression for a while, and he saw that the guy's heart was straight, and then he said:

"Take out your temporary resident card, I need to check it again."

Weston smiled graciously, took out a card made of resin from the inner pocket of his jacket, and handed it to the other party:

"master……"

"Don't call me sir!" The young policeman immediately interrupted Weston and scolded with a stern face. "A signed article by Lord Lord was published in "Hai Tide Current Affairs" called "Innate Human Rights."

"The great lord clearly pointed out in the article that everyone has equal rights and freedoms with fear. These are basic human rights and cannot be taken away..."

He spoke wildly for a long time, making Weston stunned, and then said his request:

"I'm just a civil servant, not a master... Your lord paid me a salary to serve the residents, so please call me Mr. Jon, or just call Jon..."

The words "just call Jon" are slightly vague, and it is obvious that young policemen prefer to be called "Mr. Jon".

However, deep down Weston felt that "Innate Human Rights" was a bit nonsense.

What "equality" and "freedom"? Does the noble master take the common people seriously?

It also seems that there are no people in Hai Chao Ling who claim to be aristocrats, and the Government Affairs Office is kind to civilians, but in other parts of the human world, which noble would treat civilians as human beings?

Weston is a clever person. He didn't try to refute the other person, but accompanied his smiling face and gave a respectful cry:

"Mr. Jon!"

Jon nodded in satisfaction, lowered his head and carefully looked at the temporary resident card engraved with general writing and various patterns.

"Hmm...you only immigrated to Haichaoling in the middle of the fire month of this year?"

Weston nodded.

"So." Jon's voice became serious. "You should have participated in the "Citizenship Code of Conduct" training organized by the "Immigration Department", and the results of the assessment should have passed."

"Why are you still urinating in a small alley? Don't you know that this is a serious violation of the "Code of Citizenship"? Knowing the law and breaking the law is a very bad behavior."

"You have now immigrated to Haichao, you must learn to be a civilized person, and don't bring the vices of other places..."

Weston was reprimanded for hanging his head down.

Other people in the lobby of the police department glanced over from time to time, which made Weston even more embarrassed, wishing to cover his face and sneak under the table.

In fact, due to the strict laws and the severe crackdowns on criminal activities by the Hai Chao Ling official, it is often more than five years of hard labor, which makes very few people who dare to commit crimes.

Although the total population of Odin Island is hundreds of thousands, there are no more than 20 criminal cases per year.

On the other hand, according to the system designed by Renault, the Government Affairs Department has a very strong ability to control the society, and its management is meticulous to every corner of clothing, food, housing, and transportation, leaving no dead ends.

In the nearly ten thousand years of history in the alien world, there has never been a political power, like Hai Chao Ling, which has extended its control to the lowest level of society, and elaborately compiled a giant net that entraps everyone, everyone's words and deeds. , Are closely watched.

Take one of the most typical chestnuts-Hai Chao Ling has almost no idlers.

Even if the family is wealthy and has no worries about food and clothing, they must work.

If not, the Government Affairs Department will arrange a job that meets the minimum wage standard "for free" and force the parties to participate in labor.

Refuse?

Haha, let's go to the hard labor camp for a month!

From now on, the attitude of the parties has changed drastically, and they have worked hard and diligently.

In the eyes of the Government Affairs Department, the unemployed vagrants are all the source of disasters, and they have no contribution to any other than causing trouble to society.

Yes, this is Renault's "free and equal".

Under the framework of the law, everyone must work, and everyone is "equal" in this regard.

Anyone can use their own abilities to "freely" choose a career, and identity and origin will not become obstacles.

Because of this, in Hai Chao Ling, few people have time to cause trouble.

Most of the time, the police department handles trivial matters such as "throwing **** anywhere", "urinating and defecate everywhere", "losing things in your pockets" and so on. The slightly more serious cases are pitifully rare. .

"Mr. Weston, according to the Public Security Administration Regulations, you will be sentenced to a fine of 10 silver narrs... In addition, since you have not obtained official resident status and are still in the inspection period, you will be subject to additional penalties, namely, The inspection period will be extended by 2 months."

Jon furiously wrote on the "Public Security Punishment Book" and said:

"On the 750th year of the moon and star calendar, which is the harvest month of the following year, you can only obtain official resident status... This penalty decision will be transferred to the Department of Immigration as a file..."

Jon pushed the punishment book to Jon, and said blankly:

"Mr. Weston, sign it."

Weston frustrated and picked up the pen, and honestly signed his name.

At this moment, he deeply regretted the peeing in his heart.

Hey, after just a few seconds of fun, I lost 10 silver nars. This is half a month's salary. What a huge loss... In the future, I am afraid that the whole family will have to cut down on food and clothing...

...

In the other corner of the hall, the Commissioner of Police, Scolari, sitting at his desk, watched the police officers under him and their handling of this security case.

He nodded slightly, and silently raised his evaluation of Jon to a higher level.

Well, when the salary is adjusted by the end of the year, maybe you can apply for a little more salary increase for Jon...

Afterwards, Scolari glanced at the case file placed on the table and sighed lightly.

As the director, he also has a lot of troubles.

The case detection rate assessment at the end of the year is one of them, and the most important part of this assessment is cases involving human life, such as murder, disappearance, and so on.

Scolari took a sip of water and began to slowly flip through the files. When he reached a missing case marked "Monthly Ephemeris 746", his hand paused.

There has been a little worn out surface of the paper, with the following words written:

"Missing person: Angelina Bosman."

"Identity: the former Thousand Lake Kingdom, the eldest daughter of the late Viscount Bosman."

"In the rainy month of 746 in the beginning of the moon and stars calendar, when Thunder Cloud Castle in the Thousand Lake Kingdom was attacked by the Black Orcs, the Bosman family died. Only Angelina escaped and was taken away by'unidentified people'. Halfway through, she was rescued by Lord Gollum Titan, and was finally sent to Odin Island and settled here."

Beside the words "unknown person", there are obvious traces of alteration, and the handwriting of "unknown person" also has a slight color difference, which is obviously a word that was added later.

It can be seen that the military intends to cover up something.

"Because of the relationship of Her Excellency Gollum, two months later, Angelina joined the Department of Fisheries under the Department of State Affairs and became a civil servant."

"In addition, there are rumors that Lord Gollum has a deep affection for him..."

"The specific experience of the case: In the harvest month of 746, the Department of Fisheries organized a ‘tour around the tide islands’ as one of the department’s benefits."

"When all the civil servants of the Department of Fisheries and their family members travelled to the'Kesai Island' on the edge of the'Mist Sea,' Angelina accidentally fell into the water."

"The Department of Fisheries immediately organized personnel to search and rescue, but after two hours of searching, Angelina was never found..."

"Also, before she disappeared, Angelina showed all sorts of abnormalities."

"Many people have witnessed that Angelina wandered suspiciously by the sea many times in the middle of the night..."

"In the dormitory for civil servants of the Fisheries Department, there was a reaction that Angelina lived in the dormitory, occasionally screaming for unknown reasons in the middle of the night..."

"Your Excellency Al once said in private that Angelina's breath and the fluctuation of magic energy in her body are abnormal..."

"A member of the Alpha Squad, Ling XX Eye, once responded to the high-level military level that Angelina’s XX is extremely suspicious. It is recommended to focus on observation..."

The words "Ling XX Eye" have also been smeared, but it is not serious, Scolari can barely recognize it, this is "Soul Eye".

What does the eye of the soul mean? Is it some kind of special ability?

Scarari guessed secretly.

The second place was painted thoroughly, and the handwriting was completely indistinguishable, but it was not difficult for Scolari.

He turned on the magic stone lamp and placed the volume under the light, and a subtle change suddenly appeared on the paper.

There is a slight difference between the light reflected from the recessed area and the non-recessed area.

Scarari could tell at a glance that the "XX" that was obliterated was exactly the spirit body.
