She thought for a moment before saying seriously, “But I hope even more that you are well prepared!”

“Because the problems that require us to step in and resolve are often extremely dangerous and terrifying events.”

“For us, they already represent danger and uncertainty, but for ordinary people, it can be described as a catastrophe. Don’t even mention resistance—when they encounter these problems, they don’t even have a chance to call for help. Unknowingly, their lives are taken by this kind of contamination, resulting in complete death, or even worse... becoming part of a monster.”

“And for Qinggang City, after the Red Moon incident, every normal person is extremely precious and worth cherishing and protecting.”

“……”

“……”

Brian Carter listened to these issues, and his expression became a bit more serious as he lowered his head and signed his name.

Grace Brooks was a little surprised: “After hearing about the dangers, you actually signed your name even more resolutely?”

“If I’m able to, it’s only right to help others as much as I can!”

Brian Carter smiled a bit sheepishly and said, “When I was in the orphanage, the director told me this. He said that after that incident, there were already far fewer people in the world, order collapsed, civilization regressed, and everyone went through one nightmare after another. If the people who are left only keep fighting and killing each other, then we might never return to the way life used to be…”

“Although I don’t know what life used to be like, I think what he said makes sense!”

“……”

Grace Brooks glanced at Brian Carter, her expression somewhat strange.

The words were good, but coming from this young man in front of her, they felt a bit out of place.

But in the end, she just smiled and said nothing more.

She put away the documents signed by Brian Carter, then casually picked up a box and handed it to Brian Carter.

Inside the box was an ID card, a black satellite phone, and... a revolver, along with two boxes of bullets.

“What’s this?”

Brian Carter was somewhat surprised and astonished.

Grace Brooks calmly explained, “The phone is for convenient communication between us. In the future, if anything comes up, I’ll notify you through this phone, and you can also reach me with it. Right now, the only number saved in the phone is mine.”

“The ID can help you get cooperation from certain departments when necessary, making your work easier;”

“The firearm is for your own protection, and is also the standard weapon for members of the Level One Special Operations Team.”

“……”

Brian Carter’s gaze immediately fell on the gun, his heart skipping a beat.

He knew how strict the gun ban was in the city now, and yet this operations team was directly issuing him a gun?

Especially since Grace Brooks even told him directly that the gun was for his own protection.

In other words, this gun wasn’t just for work?

At first glance, it seemed a bit unbelievable. After all, in their eyes, he was a psychic mutant. Especially since Brian Carter knew that although Grace Brooks was very restrained and good at dealing with people, from her subtle expressions, she still regarded him as someone with several split personalities in his mind, someone with a considerable risk of losing control...

So why would she directly give him a gun?

“Before you officially join the Special Operations Team, I need to formally explain something to you!”

Grace Brooks turned around, looking very serious:

“Apart from pollution incidents, protecting yourself in daily life is also extremely important!”

“If you encounter any difficulties or trouble in your life, I have three suggestions for you.”

“First, report to the Security Department of City No. 2.”

“Second, call me directly!”

“Third, use the firearm to handle it!”

“Unless absolutely necessary, we generally do not recommend you use your abilities to deal with your own troubles.”

“……”

After listening to Grace Brooks, Brian Carter slowly understood.

Perhaps, it was precisely because in her eyes he had a risk of losing control, that she gave him a gun.

Because in certain situations, if he was really forced to the point where he had to use a gun to solve a problem, then the damage caused by using a firearm would actually be much less than the impact of using his “abilities” to solve it, and it would be easier to control...

They gave him a gun precisely because they were afraid of him!

That makes sense. If a normal person encountered someone like me, of course they’d be very cautious.

……

……

Meanwhile, in Grace Brooks’s earpiece, a voice was coming through: “According to the data, ever since this Red Moon Orphanage was re-established, he has been supporting it all along. It seems to be because he’s also an orphan and sympathizes with these children. However, Chief Brooks, recruiting and guiding an observed subject into the operations team is a very cautious matter. Are you sure you want to do this?”

“I’m sure!”

Driving, Grace Brooks didn’t explain much.

The reason she took the risk to personally meet with this observed subject was to make some judgments up close.

And she trusted her own judgment!
