2 The Trainee 2
◎New article is published~Please add this column to your collection◎
No. 98 was confused. Could she really be a ghost, but her death was particularly perfect?
"I'll keep an eye on you." She made an eye-digging gesture and pointed at Sang Mian's eyes: "Number 38."
Sang Mian: "As you wish."
The number tag hanging on her chest represents her trainee identity. Her number tag is 38. Sang Mian looked at her photo and her face turned frighteningly pale.
Well...and this number...is quite distinctive.
The queue No. 98 mentioned is for training registration. There is no need to rush there for now. Since this is a game, you must first understand the rules of the game.
Sang Mian called up the game panel and clicked on the explanation of [Strange Qi].
Weirdness: Hides the player's human identity and makes the player appear weird in the game. The weirdness level is divided into five levels. A Weirdness value of 20 is a dead spirit, 40 is a vengeful spirit, 60 is a malevolent spirit, 80 is a murderous spirit, and 100 is an evil spirit. The player's Weirdness value is extremely unstable, so please pay attention to disguise.
Sang Mian thought of her own weirdness value of 20 and 98. Players and monsters share the same weirdness value system, which must have a specific use. As for what the use is, she is not sure now. Also, the weirdness value is unstable for players. How unstable is it? The panel does not have a clear explanation. She tried to ask this question again, but the panel did not respond.
"No. 98, do you want to add a friend?" Sang Mian gave up the idea of getting information from the panel and called No. 98 who was about to queue up.
Ghostface No. 98 was puzzled: "Me?"
Sang Mian smiled and nodded: "Isn't it normal to want to make friends with beautiful women? In my opinion, there will be absolutely no problem for you to debut."
No matter if they are human or ghost, they all like to be praised, and No. 98 is no exception. She put her hair back on her scalp and smiled shyly, "Hate it, I will feel embarrassed if you praise me like this."
While speaking, she kept glancing at Sang Mian. Although No. 38 didn't have much strength and didn't look like a ghost, he still had good vision. He even dared to add her as a friend. The chance that he was a human was almost zero.
"I'll leave you my number. You are not allowed to go online during the training camp, and adding friends is useless." No. 98 took out his cell phone and spoke in a delicate tone, completely different from the fierce look just now.
This change of expression was too quick. Sang Mian was a little shocked. The man and the ghost walked together naturally.
Sang Mian’s thoughts were simple. The game panel showed that she now had a strange identity, and hiding her identity was the most important thing. After all, humans could not make a name for themselves in Qinggui. Making friends with No. 98 could not only dispel her doubts, but also allow her to obtain more information.
No. 98 looked at the sea of ghosts and stamped his feet, saying irritably, "It's all because of those humans who sneaked in. Otherwise, why would the registration for the training take so long?"
Sang Mian agreed, "Verifying the identity is what we should do."
No. 98 continued her words: "Only humans waste time. People like us can pass the review very quickly."
What he meant was the difference between humans and ghosts. There must be some tricks in the review process that only ghosts know. Sang Mian calmed himself down and realized that it would not work to ask No. 98 directly, as it would easily arouse suspicion.
The crowd suddenly became restless, and No. 98 also showed an excited look, and the ghosts around him were dancing and trying to squeeze forward.
"A human has been found!"
"Hurry up, let's go get a bite, or we'll miss out if we're late!"
Sang Mian followed No. 98 quietly, and the system sounded a prompt.
[Side quest: Find human companions, current progress 1/29]
[Side quest reward: 10 million ghost coins]
[Failure penalty: deduct 1 point of Weirdness Point (if you make three mistakes, the mission will fail and the Weirdness Point will be reset to zero)]
The side quests were triggered at the same time, and the progress bar showed that one person had been found. According to the situation on the scene, the number 1 was the one who had just been verified.
After finally squeezing to the front, there was only a pool of blood on the ground. The female staff member with a work ID card was wiping her mouth elegantly with a handkerchief. It was not difficult to imagine what had just happened.
No. 98 said with regret: "We are still late. We knew there would be no place for us."
"Please pay attention to the order on site, trainees." The female staff in white work clothes warned everyone seriously, "Line up and come one by one, otherwise I will call the security guards!"
The male staff member standing next to her sneered, "As long as you don't register, we can cancel your trainee qualifications at any time. You don't want to be disqualified, right?"
Sang Mian knew this person. He was the one who started to warn her.
Obviously, the male staff noticed her presence. Their eyes met and the staff frowned. Wasn't this the little ghost watching the fun? No, it was not certain whether it was a human or a ghost. If it was a human, it must be delicious, with smooth and elastic skin, good looks, and even nutritious hair.
Thinking of this, he looked Sang Mian up and down and licked his mouth with his tongue. He only got one hand from the human who had just been found out, and his appetite was gone just as he was about to startle.
Sang Mian certainly noticed his strange look, but she was now attracted by another person, a girl in a white short skirt with most of her legs exposed, making it easy to notice that she was trembling.
In the copy, only humans can feel fear. When you can't tell whether it's a human or a ghost, and you see your companions die with your own eyes, it's normal to be afraid. The girl's ghost energy value of only 10 points further confirms her true identity.
I'm afraid Sang Mian is the only one who feels relaxed and at ease in the whole copy. The other newcomers are all firm materialists in the modern society. It is considered that they have a good psychological endurance if they don't burst into tears when encountering such a supernatural world.
The girl in the white skirt noticed that Sang Mian was staring at her. She was so scared that she lowered her head and quickly turned around and left the crowd.
【Find your human companions 2/29】
After submitting the answer to the branch question, the system will issue a prompt.
"You, come here and register." The staff member pointed at Sang Mian with a shriveled finger.
At this time, Sang Mian was still immersed in the side quest of finding companions. She found that as long as they were human, their weirdness value was 10 points. Based on this clue, she found 4 more humans nearby, and did not notice that the staff was referring to her.
"Number 38! Have your ears been eaten by a starving ghost?" the staff member shouted with a cold face. Here, no trainee dared to ignore his words like this. After all, whether they can be selected is still in their own hands.
After hearing his own number, Sang Mian said innocently: "So it was me you were calling. Call the number earlier next time. There are so many ghosts, who knows who you are calling." It must be said that his vocabulary of weirdness is really small. He doesn't even know how to change the words when he is cursing.
These few words made the staff member even angrier. What's worse was that he actually thought that Sang Mian was right. It was indeed easier to manage so many ghosts by calling out their numbers.
He asked unhappily, "Any company?"
Sang Mian: “No.”
There was a high chance that the trainees from the company were human beings. He calmly made a mark on the paper and handed it to the female staff member next to him. The two ghosts smiled at each other.
The male staff member was named Zong Cheng, and the female staff member was named Jiang Sisi. They discussed in whispers for two minutes. Jiang Sisi coughed and asked, "What year were you born?"
Upon hearing this question, the faces of the two players who had just passed the review changed. Although they had passed the review, they were also lucky because the previous ghost had just answered this question and they answered it in the same way. Those who were asked this question must be suspected. They looked at Sang Mian's appearance, with red lips and white teeth. Except for her face which was a little too white, all other features were those of a human girl.
"What a pity." No. 73 sighed.
No. 69 paused and said, "It's nothing to regret. She just had bad luck. There are only 10 debut spots, and there are 30 players. There are also so many ghosts trying to grab the debut spots. One less competitor means one more chance for us to survive.
The two players had obviously reached a cooperative relationship and turned around to leave the review hall.
Sang Mian narrowed her eyes, as far as she knew, there was no such thing as birth in the Underworld, that was a concept that only existed in the human world. When a new ghost came to the Underworld, it meant that everything was a new beginning. The weirdos called it a rebirth, and the day of rebirth was the day they first arrived in the Underworld.
She pretended to be prepared and glanced at No. 98, her eyes wandering.
No. 98 felt nervous when he saw her expression. Could she really be a human being and he had misjudged her?
Jiang Sisi saw her uneasiness clearly, and the corners of her mouth curled up. She was indeed a human being, and she was going to feast on her food again.
Zong Cheng's palm, like a withered branch, slammed on the table: "What, you don't even know your birthday?" He said in a sinister tone: "Very good, another human has been captured."
The monsters on both sides were screaming, their mouths were about to split behind their ears. It was not an exaggeration, but their mouths had a strong ability to stretch.
This is exactly the effect Sang Mian wanted to achieve, to clear herself of suspicion among all the ghosts. In the future, all the ghosts will no longer doubt her, but will trust her instead. As the old saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place, and it is safest to penetrate into the weird interior.
Zong Cheng grinned and stretched out his hand towards Sang Mian's delicate neck, ready to tear the ugly human skin apart immediately.
"Wait." Sang Mian raised her hand to block his hand. "As an auditor, don't you know that there is no date of birth? I was a freshman on February 12th of this year, which was exactly one month ago."
How is it possible that she answered it? !
The expressions on Jiang Sisi and Zong Cheng's faces froze, especially Zong Cheng. He withdrew his hand awkwardly and looked at Sang Mian with surprise. That's right, plump skin, personal trainee, all the basic requirements were met, but she was not human.
Jiang Sisi's face wasn't looking good either. She glared at Zong Cheng. It was all that guy's fault. The workload was already heavy, and he was still wasting her time.
No. 73 and No. 69 were also surprised. No. 73 had a complicated expression: "Is she really weird?"
We can't blame everyone for suspecting Sang Mian. It's just that Sang Mian's appearance doesn't match the weird features at the scene. Her long, slightly curly brown hair supports eyes as lively as the starry sky. Her superior nose bridge and small nose tip enrich the exquisiteness of her face. Even her casual clothes make her look like a rich lady.
No. 98 breathed a sigh of relief. She had already tried it out and there was absolutely no way she could go wrong. If she had made a mistake, how would she survive here in the future?
Jiang Sisi handed Sang Mian a pen and paper and said, "Fill out the form and go to the lounge at the back and wait. After the review, someone will take you to the dormitory."
There was nothing wrong with the paper, but the pen was made of bones. There was a blackened nail on the white pen cap, and dried blood had solidified around the nail. People with poor psychological endurance might just throw the pen away. Sang Mian looked down on these tricks and filled in the form without any emotion.
No. 73 watched Sang Mian's actions throughout the whole process, and said to No. 69 with lingering fear: "We were wrong. She is a real ghost. Be careful when you see her next time."
No. 69 sighed softly: If the debut position selection here is based on appearance, she would have already occupied a debut position.
Sang Mian's looks are such that she could be pulled out to debut directly in the real world, not to mention being compared with a group of dead people. She is simply an all-round crusher and there is no comparison at all.
[Confirm submission 73, No. 69 is your companion? ]
Sang Mian silently clicked to confirm. The two of them disguised themselves quite well at the beginning. They just never took their eyes off her. Only players would take the review seriously.
【Find your human companions 6/29】
Hearing the prompt from the system, Sang Mian smiled slightly and guessed right again.
Just as he was about to leave, Sang Mian saw Zong Cheng getting excited out of the corner of his eye. It was not the excitement of seeing a human being, but rather... the excitement of seeing his own favorite dish. He was so impatient that if he had a tail, he would probably wag it up to the sky.
What kind of weirdness could make him so happy? Sang Mian took a closer look and found that the weirdness was a very tall woman with a good temperament. She was not shy, but had a strong feeling. Her facial lines were distinct, her jawline was clear, her brow bones were high, and she was wearing a black long skirt, giving people a feeling of "stay away from strangers".
To put it bluntly, she looks neither male nor female.
Zong Cheng actually liked this one, and Sang Mian started to smile with interest.
The woman in the black dress had just finished filling out the form. When she looked up, she met Sang Mian's eyes. A wildness came from her eyes as black as the abyss. She looked at Sang Mian with an indiscernible smile on her lips.
Sang Mian’s smile froze. Why did this feeling seem so familiar?
Isn’t this face the same as the male corpse lying in her dressing room?
"Mu Chichi, I'm very optimistic about you." Zong Cheng wanted to pat the woman's shoulder, but was dodged without leaving a trace. He was not angry, and even threw a wink to Mu Chichi and said kindly: "Of all people, I only remember your name. After all, there are not many people with such excellent conditions as you."
"The wood is slow, but the forest is not slow." Sang Mian murmured to himself. This guy must be a human being.
[Confirm submission of No. 3 as companion? ]
She clicks confirm.
[Answer incorrectly, and 1 point of Weirdness will be deducted (if you make three incorrect answers, the mission will fail and the Weirdness point will be reset to zero)]
Sang Mian was confused. It was because of him that she entered the weird game. If he wasn't a player, then what was he? And he turned into a woman? Even if it was weird, he couldn't change gender at will, right?
