Chapter 128
Shen Xin.
Song Yue murmured softly, feeling that she had heard this pronunciation somewhere before, but couldn't remember where it was for a moment.
While he was thinking, a figure appeared at the entrance of the ice cave. Although he was wearing a thick coat, it still couldn't hide his tall figure.
The girl who had cared about Song Yue before and the woman who was warming herself by the campfire both had their eyes brightened.
“Shen Xin!”
“Brother Shen Xin!”
The boy named Chen Xin smiled as he entered the ice cave. Then, squatting by the campfire, he warmed his hands and said, "We've found the way up the mountain. We'll set off when the wind and snow die down a bit."
The girl and the woman nodded happily.
The muscular man who had been resting in the corner remained silent and only glanced at Chen Xin lightly.
The relationship between several people is full of undercurrents.
Song Yue was shocked in her heart and didn't want to be involved.
Her required quests hadn't appeared yet. When she clicked on them, there was a cloud of snowflakes, and 088 couldn't be summoned. She was completely disconnected. Song Yue hadn't expected entering the dungeon prematurely to pose such a significant risk. If she had known...
If she had known earlier, she would have entered without hesitation.
Something could happen to 099 at any time, and she had promised him that she would fulfill his wish.
She couldn't break her promise.
A gentle voice interrupted her thoughts.
"How are you? Are you feeling better?" After warming his hands, the man named Shen Xin walked over to her.
Song Yue hummed, neither showing too much enthusiasm nor being impolite at the same time.
Shen Xin didn't care about her indifference. He just turned around to face the other three people and started planning.
"As you can see, there are five of us on this investigation team. To ensure friendly cooperation and the successful completion of the investigation, please introduce yourselves, including your branch, personal level, and skills."
“It starts with me now.”
"Chen Xin, affiliated with the First Division, personal level 10, proficient in the following skills: Fire Wall, Burning Sky, Purgatory Sea of Fire."
After he finished speaking, Song Yue could clearly feel the starry eyes of the girl and the woman. However, the shapes of the stars in their eyes were different. The former was a cute round five-pointed star, which showed pure admiration at first glance, while the latter...
The stars are twisted and enchanting, and the meaning of trembling is self-evident.
Song Yue pretended not to see it.
The muscular man took over the conversation: "Yan Zhuo, third round, level 7, skills: none."
The girl and the woman each had a subtle expression.
Then it was the girl's turn: "It's my turn, Ran Yan, fifth division, level 7, my specialty is: Healing!"
Woman: "Yuan Ling, second round, level 8, special skill: Shield."
Everyone's level is not low, the lowest is level 7, and their skills are also different. Some even don't have certain skills like the muscular man Yan Zhuo.
Song Yue couldn't help but frown. What was her level? What was she good at?
Because of her silence, everyone's eyes were on her.
The air froze for a moment, and Song Yue could hear her heart pounding wildly.
What should I do? She has no information at all. What should I say?
In a dilemma, she suddenly heard the woman Yuan Ling sneer: "There's no need for the tenth round to introduce yourself, right? It's a waste of time."
The girl hummed and winked at Song Yue. "So you really are from that useless Tenth Division? Hmm, that's strange. Why would the higher-ups send you on such a difficult mission?"
"That's right~" Yuan Ling narrowed her eyebrows and continued to laugh, "If you don't know, you might think we are carrying out some kindergarten mission. The people above are really rude. They let all kinds of cats and dogs in, and they are not afraid of dying in there. Let me make it clear first, I am not responsible for protecting you. My shield is for Shen Xin. You can do whatever you want. Don't blame me when the time comes."
The girl nodded and said, "Yes, me too! I will give all my treatment to Brother Shen Xin! Sister Xiaoyue, you must protect yourself. I will not be responsible if you die~"
Song Yue had a firsthand experience of what it meant to say the coldest words in the cutest tone.
But she didn't care. Whether it was her or the original owner, since they were sent by the higher-ups to carry out a mission with a high level of danger, there must be some considerations. Therefore, she had a good attitude and a calm face, and was not affected by the repeated ridicule from the other side.
She thought about it and realized she hadn't introduced herself yet, so she rolled her eyes and said, "Song Yue, affiliated with the Tenth Division, personal level 2, skills: unknown for now."
Thanks to the other party's ridicule, she knew that the original owner was from the Tenth Bureau.
As for the level, she learned it from the badge she had just found in the original owner's pocket.
The badge was small, only the size of her palm, with the number 2 written on it. She guessed that the original owner was embarrassed and didn't put the badge up like Shen Xin and the others. But because of this, she confirmed that the number represented her level.
Finally, about skills.
Sorry, she really didn’t find it, so she could only answer unknown.
But what about the unknown?
Even the muscular man Yan Zhuo said that he had no skills, so isn't it normal that she doesn't know?
Anyway, as long as she is not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed.
As it turned out, she was the only one who remained calm and collected.
The woman, Yuan Ling, had a pair of upturned almond-shaped eyes. After hearing her introduction, she raised her eyebrows, crossed her arms in front of her chest, and gave a disdainful smile.
The girl Ran Yan laughed directly without showing any mercy.
The muscular man Yan Zhuo was relatively restrained. He just glanced at Song Yue lightly and then looked away.
The last one was Shen Xin. Among the four people, only his reaction was the calmest.
He walked up to Song Yue and encouraged her softly, "It's okay. We all came this way step by step. It takes a long time to develop skills. Once you get through this period, you will be able to grow."
Song Yue looked at him and thought to himself, no wonder this guy could make it to the first round. Look at his rhetoric and his attitude towards newcomers. If he doesn't become the boss, who will?
Song Yue put on a smile as a response to his friendly attitude.
After the five people were introduced, the wind and snow outside became much smaller, and Shen Xin led everyone on the road up the mountain.
Although the wind and snow had subsided, the temperature was still as low as several degrees below zero. Not long after Song Yue walked out, she began to shiver with cold.
She thought that other people were just like her and would complain about the cold, but when she looked up, she found that the four people walking in front of her showed no signs of being cold at all.
They are wearing so little, how can they be so strong?
Song Yue looked at them, then looked at herself, and couldn't help but sigh that the original owner was really useless.
This is good, she suddenly changed her mind. In other copies before, she always took the lead, such as rescuing people, building shelters, blowing up laboratories... None of them were easy jobs. Now that she has been reincarnated into a useless person, can't she take the opportunity to play badly and let this big boss Shen Xin take her to fly?
It's so worrying, it really makes people feel at ease.
Song Yue silently curled up the corners of his mouth and began to let go with peace of mind.
However, this kind of bad behavior did not last long, and was broken by Ran Yan's cry of "Ah".
“Brother Shen Xin! Come and see, there are plane wreckage!”
Chen Xin, who was walking in front, stopped and walked in the direction pointed by Ran Yan. Song Yue followed behind them, taking one deep step and one shallow step.
On the way up the snowy mountain, Song Yue roughly understood the current situation from Shen Xin.
They are investigators, and their mission this time is to investigate the mystery of the disappearance of the Gran expedition team members.
In 1930, 48 professional scientific researchers from the Gran Continent landed in this extremely cold place called Hernandez. According to the mission background, the main purpose of the expedition team members was to take samples of deep soil and explore paleontological fossils.
Unfortunately, within the next three months, 48 members of the scientific expedition team successively lost contact with the Gran Continent government.
Their deaths remain an unsolved mystery.
As investigators, their mission is to solve these mysteries.
Mysteries vary in difficulty, from one star to two stars... up to five stars.
One-star mysteries are the simplest and suitable for new investigators who are just starting out, such as Song Yue, who doesn't even have any skills.
Two-star mysteries are slightly more difficult and are suitable for advanced investigators with a certain foundation. A team usually consists of 3-5 people.
For three stars and above, a senior investigator must lead the team, with the number of people ranging from 5 to 12.
Perhaps fearing that she would be too nervous, the kind-hearted Shen Xin also told her that based on past experience, when a Samsung mystery team has five people, it usually means that the overall difficulty of the mystery is not high. He reassured her not to worry too much and that she could just watch and learn from the side.
Song Yue wasn't really afraid. She just wanted to know what her copy mission was and when she could leave.
Unfortunately, she just refreshed the task again, but it still didn't show up.
Sighing, I could only continue to move forward.
The wreckage of the plane was scattered everywhere, but strangely, they didn't find the pilot in the cabin.
Everyone originally wondered whether it would be burned to ashes, but they soon overturned their own conclusion.
"It shouldn't be," Yan Zhuo said seriously, "There's no trace of human body burning in the cockpit. It might have happened while leaving the cabin."
Ran Yan blinked. "Could it be that the cabin glass broke at high altitude, and the people were sucked out due to the internal and external air pressure, and were thrown to other places?"
Yan Zhuo: “It’s possible.”
Shen Xin added: "If that's the case, then we must find the driver's body."
Hearing that he had to run around again, Ran Yan sighed unabashedly: "Why did you assign me to this task? I miss the days of eating and drinking!"
"Who isn't? Usually, one or two senior investigators are enough for a three-star mission, but this time they arranged four of us. Think about it yourself, who is it because of?" Yuan Ling sneered, looking at Song Yue.
The meaning of her words was obvious.
Because they had to bring Song Yue, a weakling at only level 2, and her safety had to be guaranteed, four senior investigators were specially arranged to accompany her.
The Investigation Bureau now has a serious personnel gap, and the entire talent structure is in the shape of an hourglass, the kind that is small at the top and large at the bottom.
There are only a few senior investigators at the top, and the mid-level investigators who should have served as backup forces are almost extinct for some reasons. Now, in order to bring up talents, the bureau is constantly putting pressure on senior investigators to quickly train new investigators.
God knows how unwilling Yuan Ling is.
When she was a rookie, the bureau was overwhelmed by senior and mid-level investigators. No one cared about her, and they had little patience for her guidance. With each mission, she relied on her relentless spirit to grow little by little, eventually standing out from her peers and becoming an outstanding senior investigator.
So why?
Why should she teach everyone else everything when it's their turn?
