Alien Hotel

Registering the identities of two girls who are not sure whether they can be considered "humans" is a new thing for Sheng, but when he sat down in front of Hu Li's form, he realized that this kind of thing is new to him only - it is not strange at all in the eyes of the Secret Service.

Because the first line of the form is like this:

If the person filling in the form is a long-lived species (average life span of 1K or more), fill in the percentage in the age column directly, and fill in the average life span of the race after the blank; if the person filling in the race does not have the concept of gender, fill in the gender column black; if the person filling in the form cannot use a pen-like tool to write, or uses special secretions such as pheromones as the main identification feature, the staff will assist in sampling or filling in. Other special circumstances can be explained in the attached form and reviewed and signed by the staff.

Followed by a series of disclaimers, the main content can be summarized in one sentence: The Secret Service knows that there are all kinds of strange things in this place. We have tried our best to consider everyone's strange life forms and racial taboos. If you still feel offended, go to the board of directors.

Yu Sheng sat in front of the table and stared at the long list of disclaimers and instructions for filling out for a long time. He turned to the second page and saw the place to officially register the name, gender, age and address.... He raised his head and glanced at Xu Wenwen who was sitting next to him: ".. The form for ordinary people in Jiecheng to register their ID cards must not be like this, right?"

"Of course," the young Secret Service clerk nodded immediately, "The form for ordinary people is much simpler. This is specially prepared for those "guests" who need to live in the border area for a long time but are not human. The ID documents prepared for the two young ladies are also special versions - the appearance looks similar to ordinary ID cards, but there will be some information registered in it that can only be read by specific equipment in specific departments. If you encounter any trouble in the future, this can also be regarded as a channel for help and preferential treatment for "special residents"."

"Do you often register this kind of "business"?" Yu Sheng was a little curious.

"It is definitely much less than the number of files registered by ordinary residents, but there are thousands to ten thousand new files every year," Xu Wenwen did not hide anything, "In this place of the border, there will always be "travellers" from all over the world who apply for stay for various reasons."

Yu Sheng listened very carefully, and gradually felt an inexplicable... touch in his heart.

The form in front of him with many strange contents suddenly made him feel a real sense of this bizarre border and the world outside of daily life.

Aside, Irene had already grabbed the ballpoint pen that seemed particularly thick to her, and lay down beside the form to fill it out with great effort - this was a very difficult task for her, especially the pen was almost as long as her arm, and an A4 paper form was almost half her height, but she did not mean to ask for help this time, but wrote very seriously and hard, and even looked very interested.

Yu Sheng also lowered his head and filled in the name of "Hu Li" very seriously on the form in front of him. Then he got stuck on the next item.

"Benefactor?" The fox girl also noticed Yu Sheng's movements and asked curiously.

"....How old are you this year?" Yu Sheng looked at the fox girl in front of him with a strange expression, but he felt something was wrong as soon as he finished speaking, "Uh... No, I have to ask what the average life expectancy of your race is... Still wrong, does your 'one year old' translate to 'one year' in the border area?"

Hu Li tilted her head, and her big silver-white furry ears trembled in the air, as if she didn't react.

After two or three seconds, she hesitated and said: "About, more than two hundred years old? We become adults at the age of 180, but I don’t know how long I can live. My parents said that when we don’t want to live anymore, we will ‘return to the Tao’, but they said that’s not death, it’s becoming a member of the heavenly people...”

Yu Sheng: “...”

He looked at the clerk next to him for help.

Xu Wenwen raised her hand and pointed to the age column: “Just fill in ‘extremely long life’.” Yu Sheng: “..Is this okay!?”

“If you think this is not formal enough, just fill in ‘don’t know’,” Xu Wenwen said seriously, “There are many people who fill in this every year, because some races are extremely long-lived and have no clear concept of life span, and some races have a rapid cycle of life and death in a few years. , their age is not marked by 'year and month', but by 'generation', and they themselves can't figure it out."

Yu Sheng opened his mouth and looked at the next column: "...I don't know where my native place is, how to fill it in?"

Xu Wenwen still looked serious: "Then write 'outside the area', those who are outside the border and whose origins are unknown can be filed together." Yu Sheng's expression was a little dull: "..what about race?"

Xu Wenwen pointed: "Tick the 'Appendix', then turn to the last page, there is an appendix, see if you feel it is suitable." Yu Sheng turned to the last page of the pile of forms, and a bunch of densely packed options waiting to be ticked slammed into his sight.

At first glance, he saw a "Remark" written in the last column of the form: If your race has variable characteristics, please select "Mimicry Department", if your race is not in any optional column, please fill in "To be supplemented", we will open a separate department for you as soon as possible.

Yu Sheng's expression was filled with a hint of amazement. When he looked up at Xu Wenwen, his eyes were filled with admiration: "Your work should be... complicated, right?"

"Fortunately, I actually work in the logistics department, and the Special Archives Department is directly responsible for managing these things. They are indeed very busy. No matter whether the male or female colleagues have too much hair," Xu Wenwen said, raising her finger to point to a certain area in the check area. Xiang, "Choose this, 'animal spirit or humanoid form'."

Yu Sheng glanced at it and frowned slightly: "Why not choose 'fairy spirit'? I think it is quite suitable..."

"There is preferential treatment from the ethnic group, and you can get half the fare on the subway," Xu Wenwen said casually, "And her tail looks a little more in the direction of the 'animal spirit'. However, this has no impact. If you feel it is inappropriate, you can also fill in something else. Just choose the "Humanoid" field. Generally, no one takes it into consideration. "

The more Yu Sheng wrote, the more amazed he became. He stretched his neck and glanced at Irene, and saw that the little doll was carefully checking the box of "Higher Doll or Alchemy Humanoid", and also wrote a special note in the remarks. "From Alice's Cabin."

After a while, the form was finally filled out.

To be honest, this is not even easier than writing homework for Little Red Riding Hood - there are too many messy and weird contents on the form. There are many contents that Yu Sheng would not even be able to imagine if he had not seen them with his own eyes and heard Xu Wenwen's explanations. those words It can be used for "identity registration". No wonder I need on-site assistance from Secret Service personnel when writing this. If no one helps, the two projects "Thinking Type" and "Neuroevolutionary Classification" are enough to make a living. One day...

But on the other hand, there are many contents in these two forms that are incredibly loose, and there are many items that cannot be filled in. Yu Sheng directly followed Xu Wenwen's instructions and filled in "don't know," "random," and "anything." "" and other words, until the end, he even began to doubt the professionalism of the Secret Service...

"Actually, you don't have to worry. This form is designed according to the principle of maximizing adaptability. Generally speaking, when an 'outsider' registers his identity at the border area, he only needs to fill in a quarter of the content on the form. enough to accurately describe his origin, purpose, and Personal characteristics," Xu Wenwen patiently answered Zhou Ming's doubts, "We cannot expect that a registration form will have enough binding force on outsiders. The junction can operate smoothly until now because there is an extremely large and complex system. Effective management systems work together. "

As she spoke, she took out a small device and placed it on the table: "Next, collect biometric information. Since both of you are humanoid, how about collecting fingerprints?" Irene raised her finger: "I don't have fingerprints. "

Xu Wenwen was stunned: "...The blood...the doll has no blood...what about collecting hair? Well, the doll seems to be very resistant to this, what about scraping some body surface debris? What about the hair on the arm?" That’s it.”

Eileen sighed: "Scrape it off and it will turn into lotus root powder." Xu Wenwen: "...?"

"It's a long story," Yu Sheng covered his head, "Her current body is temporary. Otherwise, you'd better not collect it. You won't be able to collect anything useful anyway... They are all bought from the supermarket. material.”

"That's okay. The director told me that it can be more relaxed," Xu Wenwen said with a subtle expression. She picked up the two forms and glanced at them briefly. Then she sighed and looked at Irene, "Ai Miss Lin, you cannot fill in 'good-looking' in the 'regular form or appearance characteristics' column. You should fill in 'human form'.... Forget it, I will rewrite this page for you. Finally, you need to sign to confirm. . Also, you two get ready, I'm going to take a photo of you later. Miss Huli, can you hide your ears? "

The beaver then took off his own ears and threw them into his tail.

Xu Wenwen: "..ah?!"

The next second, the young clerk suddenly realized what she had just witnessed was outrageous. She turned to look at Yu Sheng: "Mr. Yu, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she, she just did, she just did something..."

"Calm down," Yu Sheng had already expected this scene, but at this time he started to enlighten the other party, "You are already working in the Secret Service, so you should think more broadly." Xu Wenwen: "...

After trying to calm down for a long time, the clerk finally controlled her expression, then pulled out a set of forms and sent them to Yu Sheng. "Well, this is the registration document you want. You can fill it out before the two ladies' identity documents take effect."

Yu Sheng's heart suddenly moved and he immediately took the pieces of printing paper over. "General Registration Form for Independently Operating Organizations/Groups/Firms at the Junction Area" A smile appeared on Yu Sheng's face.

It's finally its turn.
