Chapter 341： Screening

In a corridor with wooden floors in an old building, a wooden door that had lost some paint was knocked on: "Dangdangdang..."

"Come on! Wait a minute!" Inside the door, a woman's voice replied. Then the door was pushed open from the inside in the next second, revealing a gap: "Who are you looking for?"

Outside the door are two men in suits, wearing sunglasses, as if they were virus policemen in the Matrix. Behind the two of them, there are two staff members carrying boxes and briefcases.

"Hello! We are from a community hospital to implement Wartime Decree No. 189." A staff member behind the black suit pointed to a female colleague next to her and replied politely with a smile on her face.

The two men in black suits didn't speak, but just raised the IDs in their hands and almost stuck them on the face of the hostess of this house.

The hostess slightly frowned and withdrew a small step back, and then cleared the number and the police badge on it. The secret police of the Ministry of the Interior has a standard identity certificate, and those who dare to forge are rare in the territory of Ailan Hill.

The woman inside the room opened the door helplessly and complained: "Come in... you don't need to take off your shoes."

There were two and a half children in the room, who turned out to be twins of a man and a woman. The two children looked curiously at the staff who walked in, and curiously looked at the black suits standing outside the door and not entering the room like a door god.

"Mom? What are they here for?" The little boy raised his head and asked his mother.

"Uh... check your body, similar." Of course the hostess has heard of Decree No. 189, and now the whole city is discussing this **** Decree, because there is no follow-up, so everyone did not resist too much.

It’s just that many people don’t quite understand what this screening means. In other words, for what...

"Crack." The female staff member skillfully opened the box she was carrying, revealing the storage equipment inside. By the way, she took out a pen-like object from the inside, checked the parts on it, and then faced her closest to her. The little girl showed a smile: "Come on! Kids, it's not particularly painful, don't be afraid."

She took the palm of the little girl who stretched out her hand timidly, and the male staff wiped twice on the forefinger of the girl's pink little hand with a ball of sterile cotton ball soaked in alcohol.

Then, the female staff member pressed the "lancing pen" that looked like a fountain pen on the girl's finger, and with a light press, the girl felt a little pain and shivered a little timidly. .

The female staff member did not lift her head, and gently squeezed with her hands to squeeze out more blood, then dripped into a clean test tube, and glanced at the window. Next, I marked the name, wrote a number, and put it in a box with shock absorption equipment.

The male staff next to him lowered his head to record the time and various details, and signed his name.

Then, it was the little boy's turn to get the blood sampled. The girl pressed the blood-collected finger with a sterile cotton, and softly comforted the little boy: "It's okay, it doesn't hurt at all, I didn't cry."

The girl’s younger brother was a little nervous, he handed it over to the other party, and after the other party changed the needle, he gave him another one.

The procedure is still the same. In the end, it was the child's mother who was also stabbed and then squeezed out a blood sample, which was recorded on the file.

"What does your husband do?" If your husband, or someone in your family joins the army, there is a special plaque for joining the army outside the door. If not, it means that no one has joined the army, so the male staff asked casually.

"My husband died. He died of illness last year." The woman replied sadly.

She has a decent job as a teacher in a city public kindergarten. Her children also enjoy free compulsory education in regular schools. Although the family life is not rich, it is not difficult.

Of course, because there is no one in the family to join the army, and there is no adult labor force, this family is a relatively different existence in the eyes of street managers.

Today’s Ailan Hill, there is a golden plaque hanging at the door of the first-class family, which shows that someone in the family is engaged in important technical work in the factory and is a craftsman needed by the empire.

The second-class family is a member of the army, and there is a black plaque hanging outside the door with the eagle emblem of Ailan Hill. This type of household income is very good and relatively stable.

The third-class family is exempted from joining the army with a plaque, which proves that the main labor force in this family is urgently needed workers in the factory, or teachers, etc., which can be exempted from service.

The worst is those families with no plaques at the door. Such families often mean that there is no labor at home and the standard of living is often not very high.

Because of this system of plaques, nobles are divided into three, six or nine grades. Of course, the most noble noble is the one with a golden plaque hanging at the door of the house.

The worst aristocracy is that there are no plaques at the door. Generally speaking, such aristocrats are often habitual offenders who evade military service.

Usually in this case, they will pay a large fine and then donate a large sum of money to the army to keep young people with their own resources, so that they don't have to go to the army to endure hardship.

Of course, these nobles are generally not very prosperous, and they are basically only children. If this is not the case, they will not be so resistant to military service. After all, they only need to send a male to join the army, and just find a side branch.

"Sorry! Madam." The male staff closed the notebook and apologized: "After a simple test, neither you nor your children show signs of becoming magicians."

Before the magician awakens, no one can detect the magician system in a simple way. This is the reason that the magician cannot be screened in advance, so the Grand Mage of Gricken has no way to confirm in advance whether a person is a magician or not.

However, now the entire Ailanhill has been enveloped by magical aura, the forbidden domain has disappeared, and mortals have also begun to become magicians. Therefore Ailanhill started the magician screening.

The magician before the awakening is hard to find, but the magician after the awakening has a distinguishing feature that is very easy to identify: once the magical breath begins to be absorbed, the blood will infiltrate the magical breath, emitting a little light blue light.

As long as there is this kind of light, it can be confirmed that it is a magician. The main purpose of Ailan Hill doing this kind of screening is to determine the number, location, name, appearance, etc. of the magicians in their own country.

When Wartime Decree No. 189 was drafted, it was hoped that through screening, the magicians in the empire who might collude with the enemy could be identified. However, this later proved to be a completely illogical decision.

First of all, magicians are not necessarily traitors. Many magicians have made contributions to Ailan Hill. These people have become more and more powerful in the empire, and their influence has become more and more important, so that many high-level decision makers , Have changed their views on the magician.

Secondly, those who are still ordinary people are not necessarily all firm Ailan Hill supporters. Some of them were also bought, betraying the empire to provide cover and support for the enemy.

Therefore, the secret police of the Ministry of Internal Affairs who finally implemented the Wartime Decree No. 189 discovered that whether it is a magician has nothing to do with whether it is an enemy.

However, the screening work that has already started cannot be suspended. After all, some people have been screened, and some people have not been screened, which is even more strange. So, this absurd thing continues like this.

What makes the Ministry of Internal Affairs most depressing is that a few days ago, His Majesty the Emperor issued a statement confessing to all the people of the empire that he had become a magician.

In that speech, His Majesty called on all forces in the world to unite and declare war on the devil and the traitors who took refuge in the devil.

The emperor of his own empire has become a magician. At this time, it seems a bit idiot and stupid to identify the magician. Therefore, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is tantamount to saying that it has done a wrong thing, and it is in a state of exhaustion at this moment.

As the war expanded, spies also began to increase. The pressure on the Ministry of Internal Affairs was even greater, to the point that Diens, who was in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, became annoyed.

Often spies are caught and the network is destroyed. Because Ailan Hill's weapons and equipment are getting stronger and stronger, the scale of intelligence spying on this aspect is also getting bigger and bigger, the investment is getting more and more amazing, naturally more and more people are going to die.

...

"Come here!" After the chief of the intelligence department left his office, Dians exchanged his secretary and handed the documents to the other party: "Send someone to check!"

Even if he is reluctant to expand the scale of arrests, he still dare not respond hastily in the face of such major issues of right and wrong. Therefore, people have to be arrested anyway, and they can only do what they should do.

"The identities of these deceased people must be confirmed! The family members must be checked! Temporarily arrest them all! Let's talk after screening!" When the secretary took over the documents, Deans added.

"Catch it again?" The secretary looked at the gloomy Deans and asked subconsciously. In his impression, hasn't a lot of people been arrested this month, a lot more than last month...

"I can't help it! Who will let these **** not be afraid of death!" Dines gritted his teeth, clenched his fists and hammered them on the table, venting fiercely: "How much do you have! Grab all of them!" Get up! Strictly interrogate! Pry open their mouths! I want everyone to know that the families of the traitors are not at peace either!"

"Yes!" The secretary didn't dare to persuade him, bowed his head and agreed, turned and left Deans' office.
