Chapter 55 -55- Identity Inheritance

Deep in the dark alleys of the Bayard district, the "Lorne River" winds its way through like a dark and gloomy scar.

This is one of Agashe's most famous rivers, having witnessed the city's rapid growth and development, attracting countless tourists and photographers every year. However, the section in the Bayad District is a sight to behold. The river shifts in bizarre colors under the neon lights, while foam and industrial debris float on the greasy surface, practically a large, stinking ditch.

On the other side of the embankment, a completely different clamor hits you. Bar signs flicker, cheap hotel signs flicker, the crowded streets are filled with people of all kinds and attire, and the air is filled with the aroma of cheap perfume, fried food, and some vaguely exotic spices.

From this point of view, although its positioning is similar to that of the Blackwater District, it can still be felt that the prosperity of Agashe is indeed much higher than that of Ish City. Even the slums look more pleasing to the eye.

Yvette's eyes were on the pedestrians on the street, wondering whether she should use her hacking ability to steal some intelligence information to further refine her next plan, but she never expected that a few seconds later, a shuttle suddenly flew in front of her.

From the shape point of view, this is a steam lantern-style shuttle, driven by the wind element. There is a black grille outside the bright yellow lampshade. It looks like it came from a magic school in a fairy tale. It is very cute.

"My dear lady," a clear male voice with a businesslike cordiality emanated from within the lampshade, "we are from the Agashe Police (AJSP), and we are conducting a routine identity check of illegal immigrants in the Bayad District. Please present your ID card. Thank you for your cooperation."

ID card? Yvette looked at the flying lantern calmly, not saying a word. She didn't have an ID card, and even her digital currency account was temporarily registered on a random platform. How could she prove her identity?

The key point is that she is indeed an illegal immigrant... Thinking of this, Yvette sighed inwardly, wondering if she would be deported by the New Eden government as an illegal immigrant on the first day of her journey? Or even imprisoned?

It's not impossible to escape, but if he wants to run past the shuttle, he will definitely show his side as a mage. And this identity of a mage will increase his attention in the police station, and he will go from a one-star roadside little Karami to a five-star general...

So she decided to be tough first: "I lost my ID card."

"Lost it? I see. Then please look at the camera, miss. We can provide you with an ID card retrieval service. The AJSP official website is currently running a promotion, actively replacing the new generation of ID cards, and the price can be saved by 10% compared to the previous price..."

The police officer operating the flying lantern seemed to have triggered something and suddenly recited a series of advertising slogans. Until Yvette became a little impatient, it released a yellow scanning light and swept across Yvette's face.

"Identity confirmed! Hello, I'm Miss Yvette Sheen, a resident of the Blackwater District, Ish City, Ish Island! Your identity has been confirmed. I can apply for a new generation ID card for you immediately. Activating VIP now will exempt you from built-in ads for an additional month..."

The police officer's advertising and sales voice began again in the flying lantern, but Yvette no longer paid attention. She was a little dazed, wondering if this was not the identity she had in the last dream.

At that time, four years ago, she asked Welding Gun to replace her with a new ID card through the police department, but the name was not changed, it was still Yvette Sheehan...

Can it still be used?

Why is it still usable?

Could it be that what she entered was not a dream, but the real world?

Or can she change the course of the dream world and introduce a new world line?

"Eh...Miss? I mean...what do you think?" Noticing that Yvette hadn't spoken for a long time, the police officer behind the flying lantern probably felt a little embarrassed and asked tentatively.

"...Sure, please." Yvette came back to her senses and heard her own dry voice.

"Okay, please wait a moment. Your new ID card will be delivered to this location within five minutes!" said the Flying Lantern happily.

After the flying lantern departed, Yvette stood by the River Rhoyne, watching the ripples shimmer on the water like a school of neon fish. Soon, another gray shuttle pierced the night, accurately dropping a small, lightweight box. Yvette caught it expressionlessly, ripped open the seal, and revealed the metal card that held the promise of past times.

She immediately attached her ID card to the magic terminal and successfully entered the citizen account page. She saw the familiar identity name and the more than 20,000 credit points that were left unused from the last time she entered the dream.

In addition, she also entered the message interface and saw many surprised, shocked, and worried messages, most of which came from Mrs. Susan, Mary, and Hans, and a small part came from Welding Gun - he had sold all the remaining "Arcane Wind Blade" packages in his hand and wanted to continue purchasing, but found that the wizard lady had mysteriously disappeared.

After sending messages several times in a row, Welding Gun finally gave up three years ago and left a message asking Yvette to reply to him if she was still alive. Many buyers are still waiting eagerly.

It seems like the welding gun is reluctant to part with the Arcane Wind Blade distribution business...

Yvette smiled slightly, thinking that the financial pressure was now much lighter. She then texted Welding Gun and the Hoffmans separately, reporting their safety and confessing the high-risk, force majeure situation she had encountered and the recent recovery of her identity.

As for what kind of high-risk force majeure situation caused the situation to suddenly disappear for four years, she did not say. I believe that neither Welding Gun nor the Hoffman family would ask too much about it.

Well, in two years, Mr. Regel Hoffmann will be released from prison. I can schedule a congratulatory text message...

Are Hans and Mary still looking forward to playing with Rosalyn? They hope to one day, but considering the time, they've only been together for four years in their dream, still high school students, while Rosalyn is over two hundred years old. It's unclear if they'll ever be able to play together again...

Thinking of the events of two hundred years ago, Yvette felt much better, as if she was back in that rainy night. She was standing outside the Groni Clinic with an umbrella, watching the students walk out in a daze.

Then, she searched the Internet, intending to check for information related to the Bayad District and mercenaries, but after logging into a social account with her real-name ID card, an unexpected message caught her attention.

It was a message from three years ago, from an ID called "Fire Bearer." He asked in a private message: "Friend, are you interested in learning about our 'Civilization Preservation Society'?"

Yvette's eyes narrowed slightly.

The last time she entered the dream, she tried to hack into the official website of the Civilization Preservation Association, but was intercepted by a mysterious top rune hacker. After a fierce attack and defense, she gave up on her own initiative, but she didn't expect that the other party still caught some clues.

In fact, it is not just a clue. Because the account is authenticated by real name, being able to find her account often means that the fake identity of "Yvette Sheen" has also been leaked.

Then why send this via private message?

A reminder? A warning? Or perhaps a provocation?

She thought for a moment and replied, "I'm very interested in the 'doomsday' you're claiming, but I won't believe it easily. If the doomsday is real, I'd like to know more about it."
