When that hand came over softly and pressed it on the ground with its palm, Lin Sanjiu and the others took a step back involuntarily.
The back of the corpse's head slowly turned a few minutes, and its neck slowly lifted up; as the upper body gradually straightened up, Kajiada finally revealed his face to several people - the face that was torn diagonally.
A zigzag and dark gap opened; the facial features seemed to have been painted on, and the face was torn in half like a canvas, limp and drooping.
As Jagada sighed again, his drooping face was hit back and forth by a breath of air.
"How...how could he still be alive?" Pina asked in a trembling voice, "He is obviously dead, I checked!"
Not only her, Lin Sanjiu also confirmed more than once that there was indeed no sign of life in Jiajiatian's body. This means that the corpse standing up now, with its face torn like a canvas, is definitely not Jiajiatian.
——"This road," she murmured, "does it present us with new problems?"
Lin Sanjiu didn't expect that the person reacting to her would be Jia Jiatian across from her.
He was slowly getting up when he heard the words. He suddenly paused and turned his head slightly, also turning the dark cracks on his face. It seemed as if... it seemed that after hearing these words, he was thinking about whether he was "
New puzzle".
There was a "thud" from behind, causing Lin Sanjiu to turn her head and glance back quickly - Pan Cui seemed to be particularly shocked and frightened, and accidentally tripped over the gravel. At this time, she was sitting on the ground, staring straight at
Kagada's body stood up and asked stammeringly: "He, what on earth is he?"
A low whistle came from the crack on Jiajiada's face.
Lin Sanjiu was on guard all over, and with a wave of her hand, [Tornado Whip] fell; but the eyes "painted" on Jiajiatian's face, swaying from side to side with the shameless face, swept towards her, and then waved it away
Wave your hands.
He raised his hand, pressed the two pieces of his split face back into place, squeezed and fiddled with it for a while, and when he put his hand down again, it turned out to be a intact, normal human face again.
"Why don't you just leave?" Jiajiatian looked at Lin Sanjiu, frowned and complained, both in tone and demeanor, he was the same as Jiajiatian before - there was no hint that he had died once.
"If you search my belongings, I will understand. Why are you turning me into a card? The people you meet in the dungeon are dead, and you still have to carry them with you. Are you doing nothing unnecessary?"
Lin Sanjiu froze on the spot. For a long time, she didn't know whether she should attack him, be grateful that he was alive, or ask him what he was.
"Speak clearly!" Pina took a step forward and shouted angrily: "What's going on with you? Didn't you already fail and die in the portrait part?"
"Failure is indeed a failure, but death is not death." Jiajiada scratched his head, seemingly indifferent to their questions and anger, and bent down to pick up his schoolbag. "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be here either.
will fail."
"What?" Lin Sanjiu was startled.
"The portrait told Pina what she said. Pina wrote it to me, and then Pan Cui asked me to inquire... The portraits discovered that Pina and I had never talked, but somehow I learned something that only Pina knew.
Information, doesn’t it mean that I have a way to spy on others?” Jia Jiatian kicked a stone unhappily and said, “I didn’t realize where I had exposed myself until I was lying there after I was killed and had time to think about it.
."
"Being killed, but not dead? Is it because of your ability to protect yourself?" Lin Sanjiu asked.
Jiajiada turned his head again, as if he was reminded by her words, and was thinking about whether this was the "ability to protect himself".
"Ahem, forget it," he didn't know what he was thinking, and waved his hand and said, "If I find other reasons, it will be very difficult just to convince you, and you will no longer be able to treat me with a normal heart.
.It’s like this anyway, so why not tell you the truth.”
He obviously said this, but while Lin Sanjiu waited with bated breath for him to continue, Jiajiatian paused for a while.
"It's my first time to confess so early..." He scratched his head and said: "Well, my name is indeed Jiajiada, but well, I am not an evolver who came to participate in the dungeon. I am from this dungeon...
Well, you can think of me as the copy's HR."
The three evolvers stared at him.
"HR?" Lin Sanjiu suspected that she heard wrongly, "You mean, human resources?"
"That's right," Kagada clapped his hands, "it's easier to communicate with people who were born before the end of the world."
"You are in charge..." Lin Sanjiu had a hard time digesting this information, and even felt like he was going crazy when he said it: "Are you in charge of recruiting employees for the dungeon?"
Jia Jiatian crossed his arms and said, "That's right...why are you so surprised? Doesn't every sign in this copy say that we are short of people now and are recruiting? Recruiting people, recruiting people, keep saying,
I’m almost scratching my head. HR can’t just sit back and wait to receive resumes. If you want to recruit the right people, you have to take the initiative.”
As he spoke, he punched the air.
"I thought it was just written to make us realize how serious the consequences of failure are..." Pina murmured, "If you die here, you will become a replica creature or something..."
"Well, there are indeed some." Jiajiatian moved his limbs and said in a relaxed manner: "The ones who die here are replica creatures, responsible for relatively low-level tasks. For example, Lin Sanjiu, that big guy you met in the barber shop
Brain Barber.”
If Lin Sanjiu had been a little dubious just now, as soon as she heard these words, she immediately no longer had doubts - she had never talked about her experience in the barber shop, let alone described the barber;
Jiada can read memories, or he is really a dungeon employee.
"And those Lin Sanjiu, Pan Cui and Pina you saw in the office are dead people who grew up and died over and over again." Jia Jiatian said, tapping his chest, "
As for me, after I failed in the dungeon, I was brought to the finish line by the employees sent by the dungeon and recruited after an interview. I have been working for many years, and now I have the qualifications to recruit other employees."
Lin Sanjiu closed her eyes and pressed her temples hard. "Is it because if you didn't work here, you would die?"
"It's such a waste to die," Jiajiada has completely looked at the problem from the perspective of a copy. "Becoming a copy of the creature can make the best use of the material. But more capable evolvers can choose to become...well, let's call it
Be a 'senior employee'. Believe me, compared to struggling and wandering outside, working in the dungeon is a safe and secure way to live. The life is stable and the benefits are generous. The internal management of our dungeon is very humane and we also value it.
own social impact…”
Seeing that he was about to slip into HR's recruitment promotion, Lin Sanjiu interrupted him hastily. "Why are you following us? Has Tasker been recruited by you?"
"He really intends to wait for teleportation," Jiajiada shook his head and said, "I can't do anything about that type of person. I follow you because I think you have the potential to become a senior employee... I
I will observe your abilities and preferences throughout the whole process, so that I can better convince you to join when you fail. Oh, but at the same time, there are three other groups of people who all think that I am one of the members who set off together, so you don’t want to
complacent."
"No wonder I don't like you," Pina said. It was obvious that she didn't plan to find a job. "It saves time to hate you from the very beginning."
Pan Cui suddenly spoke coldly. "When you meet your favorite evolver, will you really not deliberately let them fail?"
Jiajiada blinked.
"That's unfair. The culture in our dungeon advocates fairness and freedom..."
Lin Sanjiu could also feel that her complexion was cooling down. She didn't believe that Jia Jiatian could control herself; before the end of the world, didn't the real HR have to judge their performance based on the recruitment situation?
At this moment, Jiajiatian's defense turned into a propaganda for recruiting employees: "Taking a step back, if I let someone fail, I will be doing the other person a big favor! Our dungeon's treatment is good and the work intensity is high.
It's not high, and there is an entire city as a base... Although the first three years of work are punishment for failure, if you perform well, you can officially sign a contract as a senior employee after three years, one year and three years.
The contracts are all there, very reasonable... Of course, don’t listen to those rumors. If you work for a long time, you will become a replica creature or something. It’s nonsense.”
Thinking about his appearance just now, it was hard for Lin Sanjiu to completely believe that he was not a duplicate creature at this moment.
However, at this moment, an idea suddenly slipped into my mind.
"We have solved the problem on this road. As long as we go out within 21 hours, it will not be considered a failure." She looked back at Pina and Pan Cui, hoping to wink at them to make them cooperate with her, and asked back: "
What if we take the initiative to request to join the dungeon after successfully completing this path?"
Jiajia Tian was stunned, as if he didn't expect that before he could explain the work content and employee benefits in detail, someone would already be willing to sign up.
"Are you sure?"
"Of course," Lin Sanjiu nodded and pointed at the yellow arrow. "Let's get out of this road now. Next, are you going to take us to the terminal for an interview?"
Jiajiada suddenly became a little suspicious. "Wait, are you planning to let me take you to the finish line?"
"Or we can just say goodbye," Lin Sanjiu smiled at him and said, "I will be responsible for bringing them both to the finish line and out of the dungeon smoothly. What do you think? You are not
