At night, in a crowded airport terminal 2.
The terminal was full of people, the beginning of the night made many young and old people smile as they would meet their families in various cities soon.
Xiao Ning cleaned near the entrance of the terminal. The night breeze blew inside, making her feel refreshed.
She wore a grey uniform which was a lot bigger than her, it hid her chest almost making people call her a man.
At her current age, she should have started her summer vacation in High School.
But because of her parents' early demise, her relatives sold her to a trafficker who sent her to America working as a janitor in this airport at the age of eighteen.
The long wait began again…for her shift to end. Sigh.
Six hours into her shift, a jet-black van unhurriedly drove in front of the airport's entrance.
The dull engine sound was suppressed by the loud crowd inside the airport, the door unlocked, and six men holding bags entered the terminal.
Xiao Ning, who's shift was nearly over in 15 minutes, picked up her items beside her to pack up.
The six people dressed in all black caught Xiao Ning's attention again, she saw them open their bag zippers taking out something.
"BANG..."
"BANG..."
Six bullets shot out.
"AAHHHHHH..!"
A body landed steadily in front of Xiao Ning's feets.
Blood gushed out of the body's head, although Xiao Ning tried to flee, she was trampled by the fleeing passengers around her.
The frightened Xiao Ning did not comprehend what was happening around her, with much effort she again stood up in the screaming and scrambling crowd.
More bullets fired, so Xiao Ning immediately ran to a place with few people behind a statue.
Xiao Ning peeked through one of the statue's gaps and saw a security guard in uniform running towards the shooters.
Although the six people were shooting, she believed once the security guard called for backup, she could survive.
No, she will survive!
But at the next moment, Xiao Ning felt all her hair stand up. One of the six men actually pulled a grenade out from his bag, a black grenade with a hook. It was obvious he was about to blast shit up.
How could the security guard save her from this? Xiao Ning had no time to think carefully but she ran.
In front of her was a McDonald's diner with at least a dozen walls to cover the explosion.
The security guard and the six men were about 10 meters away from her.
Xiao Ning hurried forward from running to crawling, she ran desperately.
"Thump…"
The grenade falling to the ground only made a faint sound.
Xiao Ning just entered the diner's door when she felt numbness in her legs, and then the same feeling travelled from her legs to her skull.
Xiao Ning understood, she blew up.
The feeling of powerlessness spread in her body. Xiao Ning was extremely afraid. She was killed by an unknown antagonist, how ridiculous was this.
Her consciousness started to dim, Xiao Ning felt that her head wasn't her head and her hands weren't hands, and then her eyes went dark.
At the last minute, before she went unconscious, Xiao Ning vaguely heard.
[Welcome to Zion's Association.]
[Transmission of the soul…100 seconds..]
[Ding…The Agent's possible talent: Green Tea Bitch. ]
.....
In the white room, a woman could be seen arranged on the ground. The room had four walls but no ceiling but vast clouds above.
A breeze from nowhere blew Xiao Ning's hair onto her face, her nose twitched and Xiao Ning woke up slowly.
After waking up, Xiao Ning was a little confused, but after recalling that she almost blew up, she immediately sighed, it's so white here, is this the hospital?
Xiao Ning sat up and looked around, except for the endless clouds above she was in a room about 10 meters wide.
Fuck, is this heaven? She really exploded.
[Ding..Ding..Ding...]
[Congratulations Agent 624. You've successfully completed the essential requirements.]
[1. Die while the world's protagonist is in 10 meters or has indirectly caused Cannon Fodder's demise.
2. Have Willpower above 10.
3. Not retaining the want to reincarnate.]
[Agent 624 has been provided with an agreement.]
[The Agent has an hour to decide, respond with 'Yes' to agree and 'No' to die.]
A lot of text appeared in front of Xiao Ning, but Xiao Ning couldn't understand shit as it was written in the most widespread language on her planet "English".
The only three words she understood were [Die] [Yes] and [No]. She barely studied till sixth grade, do gods now use such big words??
Just tell her if she's taking off to hell or heaven, she doesn't want to know so much.
With nothing else to do she began to check her body's situation.
There was no blood edition explosion that she imagined rather she was just covered in grey ash. Xiao Ning frowned and went back to lying on the ground.
...
Main System of Zion who was summoned because the Agent wasn't communicating. It glanced at the woman who just arrived after dying from a bomb explosion, looking like a roasted chicken with burnt grey skin: "...."
[Agent, please communicate with 'Zion' as soon as possible to sign an agreement, otherwise, the system will take 'No' as your response.]
[Agent, you are dead but your consciousness is alive. Are you willing to join 'Zion'? With Zion you can live for eternity.]
With the words written by the system, the room was altered from white to light red.
"Hey! I speak..uh..Chinese, I don't know you speak..chinese please!"
Xiao Ning sat up and attempted to communicate with her broken English.
Xiao Ning had already noticed that whoever is writing on the sky wants to discuss something with her, and she can't behave too harshly. What if she's stuck here forever.
The current situation was somewhat strange. She was killed by a grenade, but she survived and was in this strange room.
The Main System was speechless for a while, the texts appeared again with everything it said but this time it was in Chinese.
It really had to go and check if the Main Agent Selection System was broken.
A large number of texts appeared in front of Xiao Ning, this time in Chinese, she read it carefully and finally understood what the system was trying to tell her.
'The Agent', is what the system kept calling Xiao Ning from the introduction of the texts.
"Why do you call me an 'Agent', shouldn't I rather be called a Tasker like in those Novels?"
[Normal people with no talents will become Taskers after signing an agreement with Zion, they will perform assignments for 'Zion's customers', and Zion's customers will compensate them.]
[The Agents, they will perform assignments directly for 'Zion' and Zion will compensate them.]
[A Tasker will travel through various 'worlds ' to complete the missions issued by the 'original owner' obtaining their 'soul strength' which is divided 40/60 with 40% to Zion and 60% to the Tasker.]
[When the Agent travels through worlds to do missions, 'Zion' will release it's assignments which will be valued above the fundamental mission. An Agent of Zion doesn't need to worry about soul strength.]
[Agent, please sign an agreement or wait for death. You have 30 minutes.]
