The surface of the uneven high-rise buildings and the glass exterior walls reflect cold light. The bustling crowds of people, with their heads lowered expressionlessly, are following the traffic lights. Four-wheeled vehicles are moving restlessly on the congested road.
The horn honked restlessly, making a harsh noise.
When Yilin's team of four people and one dog arrived for the trial, the scenery in front of them allowed them to judge the environment they were in in a short period of time.
"Be careful."
Yi Lin reminded in a low voice that at the first moment, the perception had spread out, taking in everything around him.
"Um."
Without saying a word, Oda Mai put her hand on the knife and prepared to kill someone.
"Don't draw your sword yet!"
Yi Lin noticed Oda Mai's reaction and quickly held it down.
The place where they arrived was on a bustling street in an unknown city.
"The architectural style is a bit like the first-tier cities of the last century."
On the bulletin board, neon advertisements flashed.
Oda Mai suddenly trembled and whispered: "This is my hometown."
"Yingdao?"
"yes."
The words on the surrounding noticeboards made Oda Mai recognize that the style of this trial world was very similar to her hometown "Yingdao".
"It may not be the same world." After experiencing so many trials, Yi Lin had already guessed the nature of the trial world and explained: "It may be a parallel time and space, or it may be another completely independent one.
The city is safe for the time being, so don’t panic.”
"Look!"
There happened to be an electronic clock in the shop window nearby.
“This clock is so old!”
Xu Jingjing complained.
"Can you not age?" Yi Lin pointed to the time displayed on the clock: "Strictly speaking, they are all products of the last century."
Oda Mai thought seriously for a moment and shook her head: "No."
At this time.
Xu Jingjing raised his head and looked at the sky.
There was a swirling cloud above the icy tall buildings, which attracted Xu Jingjing's attention.
She frowned subconsciously, without hiding it from her teammates, and said, "I don't know if it's my imagination, but I always feel that the air around me... makes me feel very uncomfortable."
Li Changge, who had been silent all this time, smiled faintly: "It's okay if you feel uncomfortable. Don't forget, the president chose a trial of eternal night difficulty."
Li Changge's words made Xu Jingjing's expression change slightly.
When Yi Lin's team of four people and one dog quickly surveyed the background of the trial world, the main mission prompted them to arrive late.
…
【Welcome to Kanzaki City.】
[Your current identity is that of a social worker who has been unemployed for a long time.]
[By chance, I let you know that the famous Kanzaki Middle School in Kanzaki City is recruiting teachers and other occupations. 】
[Main mission one released: Please be sure to participate in this job fair of Kanzaki Middle School and successfully enter Kanzaki Middle School. Reward for completing the task: 12,000 death points. ]
…
"..."
The moment the main mission was released, the four people and the dog fell into silence at the same time.
"Role-playing mode?"
Xu Anjing subconsciously rubbed the OL outfit that clung to her tender flesh to see if she could pull out the mirror.
"No need to look for it, it's your face."
Yi Lin smiled and said: "The role-playing mode is relatively rare in high-difficulty trials. After all, the role-playing mode is too restrictive. This time, the tower arranged for us not a 'role', but an 'identity'
'.We should have a legal identity in this city. Oh...yes."
While talking, a wrinkled brown fake leather wallet floated out of Yi Lin's trouser pocket and fell into his hand.
There were scattered banknotes inside.
A driver's license.
There is also a leaflet folded and tucked into the corner.
…
【Date of birth】March 28, 1996
【Sex: Male
【Name】Muto Irin
【Residence】Room 603, XX Ishika Apartment, XX Town, Kanzaki City
…
"Wow ha ha ha ha--"
Others came over to take a look.
Seeing this, Xu Jingjing burst into laughter without showing any dignity: "Muto Irin, God damn Muto Irin! Wahahahahaha...cough cough cough."
She choked on her own saliva.
"..."
Yi Lin rolled her eyes.
How come this old phlegm didn't choke you to death?
Can you look a little noble with elf blood...
Yi Lin was speechless, her head was blackened by Xu Anjing's dissoluteness. Without saying a word, he took out the wallet that Xu Anjing had hidden in his pocket, and showed it in front of others.
"Hey? Hanano Shizuko, your name isn't that good either."
Xu Jingjing's face suddenly darkened, and he snatched the driver's license from Yi Lin's hand with a look of constipation on his face.
Oda Mai looked at her driver's license silently.
Because she was born in Yingdao, she can perfectly integrate into this world view. The name "Oda Mai" is directly displayed on her driver's license, without any sense of violation.
Li Changge waved his brand new driver's license in his hand and said with a smile: "Kimura Changge, it sounds pretty good, haha."
"There's also a flyer in the wallet."
Yi Lin did not dwell on her "identity" and took out the flyer from her wallet.
——[Kanzaki Middle School Recruitment Notice].
Yi Lin took just three seconds to scan the contents of the recruitment notice into her eyes and clearly remembered it in her mind.
"We have time. The recruitment announcement will be at eight o'clock tomorrow morning."
"Why are you the only one with job postings? I only have an old mobile phone with me?"
Huayuan Jingzi...ah no, Xu Jingjing asked with an unhappy expression.
"Look inside your phone, your email, etc."
When Xu Jingjing heard this, he rummaged through the messages on his phone with hesitation.
The mobile phone she had on her was actually unlocked and turned on at one o'clock.
really.
In "Messages", there is a message from an unknown number: "Be sure to attend the Kanzaki Middle School Job Fair on September 14th."
"I have it too."
Li Changge took out a notebook from his body.
There was a line written on it in a messy handwriting: "September 14th, Kanzaki Middle School Job Fair."
Oda Mai is also a text message.
"By the way, where's the dog?"
When everyone was looking for clues about the mission, Muto Irin... er, Yirin, just then noticed that Gouzi, who was usually very active, had been silent after the trial, and seemed unusually well-behaved and quiet.
It's weird.
The dog squatted on the side of the road, with his thin back and a breeze ruffling his snow-white hair, he looked a little lonely.
"Wang'er?"
Yi Lin called out tentatively.
The dog turned around and silently raised the collar around his neck with his paws. There was a metal plate on it. There was a hint of helplessness and sadness in his green eyes.
There was clearly a line of words engraved on the sign with a laser:
——[Kanzaki Middle School Animal Laboratory; Breed: Mongrel Dog. Name: Dog. If found outside Kanzaki Middle School, please contact XXX]
Yi Lin: "..."
Oda Mai: "..."
Li Changge: "..."
Xu Jingjing: "..."
…
A few minutes later.
Four people and one dog finally accepted the identities forcibly arranged by "Tower".
Yi Lin and the others tried their best to hold back their laughter and comforted Gouzi, who was saddened by the "mutt dog".
"The main mission is relatively clear now. Before eight o'clock tomorrow, go to Kanzaki Middle School to attend the job fair." Yi Lin gathered his teammates together to discuss the details of the main mission: "Don't forget, the previous mission
There is an obvious reminder in the instructions.”
"Be careful what you say and do?" Li Changge interrupted, showing off his presence.
In fact, everyone noticed.
The important reminder repeated three times is obvious.
Xu Anjing lowered his head, finally holding back his smile, and finally became serious: "To put it simply, don't act rashly? Obey the assignment and go where?"
"To put it simply, it can indeed be understood like this." Yi Lin smiled and said: "Don't forget, this is the trial of the Evernight Level. According to my experience, this trial world that seems harmless to humans and animals must be hiding something.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to withstand the difficulty of the 'Eternal Night Level'."
Everyone else nodded to show their understanding.
Yi Lin was very satisfied.
The benefits of the team mode are obvious. If all the teammates are obedient, Yi Lin does not need to worry about other apostles disrupting the situation, and can focus all his energy on how to clear the level.
"Let's split up next."
Yi Lin made arrangements based on the information she currently has: "The so-called 'identity' is naturally not just simple information such as 'name' and 'gender'. The 'identity' we currently have in this city should be
Have corresponding interpersonal relationships. Before tomorrow, you should try your best to follow your current 'identity' and dig out more information."
The others nodded again, and Li Changge even took out his notebook and took notes quickly and seriously.
Yi Lin continued: "The small objects we carry with us should be important clues about our identities. This trial seems to be more than just brushing pictures and killing monsters. In short, if you find anything, report it in time and follow the arrangements.
"
Everyone, including Oda Mai, said: "I understand!"
"Jingzi..." Yi Lin said with a straight face, suppressing a smile: "See if you can find out the source of what makes you feel something is wrong."
Xu Jingjing had a stern face, clenched a pair of pink fists, and her delicate body was trembling: "If you dare to call me by that damn name again, I will turn against you!"
…
Yilin team, split up.
Half an hour later.
Yi Lin came to an old apartment building.
【Room 603, Shihua Apartment】
"Bus card, wallet, driver's license, mobile phone, and a bunch of keys."
Yi Lin relied on the "clues" on her body to find her "own home".
The moment he unlocked the door with the key, a smell of mold hit his face.
“What a poor living environment.”
Yi Lin frowned, but still stepped in.
When entering the house, Yi Lin had already scanned the small apartment, which was only a few dozen square meters. There was no hidden danger.
After turning on the light, the dim light flickered on and off, casting a flickering shadow on the wall. In the direction of the toilet, there was the sound of drainage from upstairs from time to time, and it swayed on the ceiling. In the narrow bedroom, on the floor
The bed was made neatly, as if no one had slept on it.
On the low floor table next to it, there is a laptop computer of unknown brand. Because the computer is in standby mode, the fan of the laptop makes a subtle rotating sound.
Yi Lin stared silently in the bedroom for a moment, then walked to the toilet.
The walls were covered with old stains and glowed yellow.
Beside the sink, the mirror was cracked from the center, and the crack stretched from the upper left corner to the lower right corner. When Yi Lin's appearance appeared in the mirror, it seemed like it was divided into two by the crack on the mirror.
"Crash, lala, lala -"
Yi Lin turned on the faucet, and after a period of rusty sewage came out of the faucet, clear water finally came out.
Tick tock.
suddenly.
A drop of cold water fell on the back of Yi Lin's neck, and the coolness penetrated into the skin texture, followed the back of the neck, and spread all over the body.
In an instant, Yi Lin's limbs seemed to have lost their temperature and were frozen solid.
Yi Lin looked up at the mirror.
The "him" in the mirror had wet black hair, dripping with water. The moment Yi Lin's eyes fell on the mirror, the corners of "Yi Lin's" mouth in the mirror were raised in a vague arc, like
