Just as the two were about to continue trying, the prompt from the Paradise of Reincarnation appeared.
[Tip: Because the hunter has returned to the real world, the current level (fifth level), you can formulate a range at will. If more than 10 contractors fight in this area, the hunter needs to mediate or kill to maintain stability in the real world. 】
【If there is a fifth-level contractor in this area, the hunter needs to compare the actual combat data with the other party. If either party has any doubts about the actual combat data, both parties can formulate a scope and engage in a life-and-death battle within the space barrier. 】
【Please choose the jurisdiction of the hunter. If the selection is completed, the hunter must ensure that there are no more than 10 contractors in this area. If there are contractors with level 5 or above in this area, a higher-level contractor will come to execute. 】
【Tip: It is detected that there is already a fifth-level contractor here, and yes/no is there a life-and-death battle. 】
Lin Yi and Su Xiao took a look and immediately chose No.
"Come on, I'm too lazy to mess with these things."
Hearing Lin Yi's words, Su Xiao raised his hand and waved his hand, and a virtual map unfolded in front of him in an instant.
A scarlet ring appeared on the map, with a range of about the size of a city.
He tried to drag the red circle and found that the maximum coverage of three cities and the minimum coverage could be reduced to the limit of one town.
Su Xiao reduced the scope to a minimum. It was thankless to prevent contractors from clashing in the real world. This is a responsibility, but there is no benefit.
Unless you are a contractor with a strong desire to control, no one is willing to expand his territory too much.
Enlarge the virtual map, Su Xiao pulls the red circle to all his towns, and taps the area twice with his fingers.
[The hunter has completed the selection, and the inspection is under review...]
[There is no jurisdiction for the fifth-level contractor in this area. 】
The identity of the jurisdiction is completely different from the self-proclaimed title of the Scavenger Organization.
This is the authority officially recognized by the Paradise of Reincarnation and is part of the rules.
The process of identification was simpler than Su Xiao had expected. As soon as he selected the area, Li Murui on the side cast a surprised look. After a moment of dazed, she said, "I just... received a prompt from the Reincarnation Paradise."
"What's the content."
"Uh~, let me stay away from you at least 0.2 kilometers. The prompt said that you are the jurisdiction of this area? What is that?" Li Murui's eyes were confused.
"It's nothing, it's just a duty to meddle in other people's business." Su Xiao did not explain much, "Let's continue with the previous topic."
"No, my mother seems to be pregnant again, I have to go back quickly." Hearing Su Xiao's words, Li Murui immediately stood up, and even ignored the temptation of interests proposed by Lin Yi and Su Xiao, and hurried out of the jewelry store.
In this regard, the two did not forcibly tie Li Murui to the store for research.
In the next few days, Lin Yi and Su Xiao did almost nothing, and spent the whole day studying the black eyeballs in the jewelry store.
However, except that Bubuwang could occasionally sense some faint fluctuations, neither Su Xiao nor Lin Yi could get any reaction from these eyes.
[A new world (level 5) is about to open, please prepare for the hunter. 】
At this moment, Lin Yi was lying on the sofa, holding a cup of milk tea in his hand, his eyes falling on the black eyeballs on the table, looking lazy and comfortable.
He was slightly stunned when he heard the prompt sound, and then realized that a week had passed.
It can only be said that the real world is too comfortable, which has caused both Lin Yi and Su Xiao to not notice the passage of time.
"This time I go to the Ghost Continent, remember to be careful of Harold. That guy is not a good-looking guy." After Su Xiao said this, Bubu barked a few words to agree.
Then, it took out a worn pendant with its dog's paws and handed it to Lin Yi, signaling him to help bring it back.
"What is this?"
Bubwang barked twice, gestured with the dog's paws a few times, as if explaining.
Su Xiao added: "I am a subordinate in the world. I'll help you take it back this time."
Lin Yi nodded and his eyes fell on the pendant.
It was a worn metal pendant with scratches and wear on the surface, which obviously took a long time.
The yellowed family photo is embedded on the back of the pendant. The family in the photo has a bright smile, as if all the suffering has nothing to do with them.
However, the worn pendant and the wear of the photos silently tell the owner's past experience.
Bubuwang shook his tail aside, and from time to time he used the dog's paw to pull Lin Yi's trouser legs, as if reminding him not to forget this. "Don't worry, I won't forget it." Lin Yi said softly.
[Tip: Hunters will enter a new world in 10 minutes, please be prepared. 】
【The teleportation has been completed, and the new world will be opened in 1 hour. 】
As the prompt sound ended, Lin Yi's figure appeared in the exclusive room of the Reincarnation Paradise.
This time, Lin Yi did not rush to the trading market as usual.
According to the information provided by Gulu and Su Xiao before, he had purchased a large amount of supplies that would help survive in the Ghost Continent in advance, so Lin Yi could be lazy this time in his exclusive room.
[Telection has been completed, and the hunter is about to arrive in the Ghost Continent (3-star reward world). 】
[Because the hunter exceeds the prerequisite for the fifth-level promotion qualification (9/10), you can choose one of the following compensations. 】
1. World affinity has been improved by 2 points.
2. The identity of the second son of the Extreme King (no real power, noble status, and a small chance to be assassinated by ghosts, demons, and strange beasts).
3. President of the Alchemy Society (need to master relevant abilities, otherwise there is a higher chance of exposure).
4. Awakened person (Awakening level is less than 5%, super high-risk occupation)
…
[Tip: The title of "Savior" of the hunter was detected, and a new identity has been selected for the hunter. 】
【New identity selection is underway.】
【Select the position of the deputy director of the Imperial Nursing Home, who is responsible for suppressing and treating high-risk awakened people in the Imperial Nursing Home, and is only responsible to the parliament. 】
Although the identity of the vice president of the Imperial Sanatorium seems noble, the internal forces of the Zur Empire's parliament are complicated and if you are not careful, you may be doomed.
For example, Su Xiao, as the deputy commander of the execution agency in the last world, his identity is not much worse than Lin Yi's identity this time, but he was poisoned at the beginning and was even more conspired by the commander of the legion, Mrs. Nancy, so he had almost no way out.
If Su Xiao hadn't had his brain fast enough and had won over several trustworthy subordinates in advance, he would have probably become a dead body on Mrs. Nancy's chessboard.
Harold, the monarch of the Zur Empire, was definitely not a kind person.
If he finds that the deputy director of the Imperial Nursing Home has been replaced, what is waiting for the nursing home will be a bloody purge.
Harold does not allow any force to shake his rule, nor does he allow unknown forces to penetrate his core circle of power. "Vice Dean... It's really a hot potato."
As the prompt ended, the black fog in front of Lin Yi gradually dispersed, and a dazzling white light shone out from behind the fog, tearing the thick darkness a gap.
The black fog flowed in the air, gradually zipping out lines of text.
【Enter the World: Ghost Continent】
Location: Zur City
World difficulty: Lv.15~Lv.47 (native world)
Source of the world; 0% (this is semi-exploring the native world, and it is extremely difficult to obtain the source of the world).
So, for the 3-star reward world, you have mastered the language of this world for free, and you will forget it after leaving this world.
World Introduction: To be opened.
…
Introduction to the world, black fog surged in front of him, and soft white light particles emerged, forming a screen several meters in size.
The scene in the light particle screen is a bird's eye view, just like taking aerial photography. The green mountains and clear waters that have never been polluted are as beautiful as picturesque. Various migratory birds live here, full of vitality. Just looking at this scene makes people feel comfortable, and this is the beauty of nature.
With a whirl, two black claws broke out of the water, hooking a swan that was pure white. No matter how the swan struggled or whined, it would inevitably be bitten and covered in blood.
The creature that looks like an ocelot appeared from the water, and was covered with some unnatural black body fluid.
Its eyes were scarlet and fangs were exposed, and it bit the swan's neck, and the blood instantly dyed the white feathers red.
The swan's whine gradually weakened and eventually disappeared completely. Only the leopard-like creature was gnawing at will. The black body fluids and blood were mixed together, which looked particularly dazzling.
The picture changes again, and the speed is accelerated by tens of thousands of times.
The originally peaceful natural scene was destroyed in an instant, and replaced by gorgeous royal palaces rising from the ground. From desolation to prosperity, the whole journey took less than two seconds, as if an invisible hand was controlling all of this.
[In the 12th year of the Zur era, the Zur Empire was established and the Ghost Continent restored peace. This was not through the unification of war, but the result of the peace talks between the 17th kings, because... they had greater enemies. 】
The black fog surged, and the pictures on the screen gradually unfolded. The 17 former kings shook hands and made peace in front of the towering throne. There was no joy of victory in their eyes, only deep worries.
[In the 107th year of the Zul Era, the Zul Empire made every effort to develop pastoral agriculture. The following year, the total population of the Zul Empire decreased by one tenth, and the number of ghosts, demons and monsters increased dramatically. 】
[In the 115th year of the Zur era, the total population of the Zur Empire was only 60% of the early days of its founding. However... they had no choice, not disease, hunger, or war, but the continuous increase in the number of ghosts, demons, and monsters. 】
Ghost: A smart creature with strong predation, symbioticity, and a strong appetite for humans.
Demon: a semi-energy body/semi-entity species, with extremely high IQ and talent, and likes to eat human flesh and blood and soul.
Strange beasts: Secondary intelligent creatures, with strong aggressiveness, a wide variety, most of them are omnivorous, with relatively excellent learning ability, can be tamed, but cannot be artificially cultivated (after artificially cultivating strange beasts, strange beasts will degenerate into ordinary beasts).
[In the 128th year of the Zur era, only 30% of the human population remained, and the awakened ones were born in the same year. 】
[In 572 of the Zur Age, the number of human beings soared. The Zur Empire almost completely occupied the Ghost Continent, and the Awakened became the main combat power of the empire. 】
[In the 770th year of the Zur era, the Zur Empire completely explored the Ghost Continent and stopped expanding. Even if the number of humans soared, the resources of the Ghost Continent were still inexhaustible. 】
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
[In 980 of the Zur era, the ghost disappeared on the continent. In the same year, conflicts broke out within the Zur Empire and war was about to break out. 】
[In 981 of the Zur era, the Extreme King tore through the alliance and the civil war broke out. 】
[In 982 of the Zur Age, ghosts appeared again, and the number increased explosively. The total number once exceeded the total of humans (68 million). The human civil war stopped and the Zur Empire was almost destroyed several times. 】
[In 1030 of the Zul Era, the war ended, and the Zul Empire announced that the number of ghosts had been controlled. In the same year, the number of awakened people was less than 10% of the Zul Era in 981. 】
Awakener: When the human mental state fluctuates greatly and eats the flesh and blood of the ghost during this period, there is a lower chance of becoming an awakened person, gaining supernatural abilities, and gradually becoming stronger with the battle with the ghost (this is the public intelligence of the Zur Empire).
Real information: Any human eating fresh flesh and blood of ghosts may become an awakened person, with a mortality rate of more than 70%. After the awakened person kills the ghost, his physical fitness and awakened ability will be significantly improved. The higher the degree of awakening, the more dangerous the awakened person is. When he is fully awakened, the awakened person will become a demon.
The boy who used to slay dragons gradually grew scales because his body was stained with dragon blood. Now he has turned into an evil dragon. This is responsibility, fate and sadness.
[In 1209 of the Zur Era, the civilization of the Zur Empire was becoming increasingly developed, and steam engines and trains were all introduced. The upper rulers formed a parliamentary system and voted to elect the first monarch. However, those ghosts hidden among human beings are always something that humans cannot clean up. War and natural disasters are the opportunities they are waiting for. Only then can they reproduce at an astonishing speed. 】
[In 1244 of the Zur Era, the ghost organization Ghost Ring was destroyed, and the ghost forces suffered an unprecedented blow. 】
On the screen, the battle on rainy nights is particularly fierce.
Su Xiao held a long sword and fought a life-and-death battle with the ghost leader.
The spear collided with the blade, sparks flew everywhere, and the figures of the two kept intertwining in the rain.
【The world, start. 】
The feeling of teleportation was like being pulled by an invisible giant hand, and Lin Yi's gaze gradually became clear after a brief blur.
He found himself sitting behind a large desk, with heavy books piled up on the desk, and the dense words on the covers were all related to psychiatry.
Tea cups, wine bottles, scattered documents... These pieces of items almost occupy the entire desktop, making them look messy.
Lin Yi's eyes swept over these items, his brows frowned slightly. Obviously, the former owner of this body was not a person who was organized.
He looked around and the office was decorated in a very sophisticated manner.
The wooden floor is covered with heavy dark red carpets, and there is almost no sound when you step on it.
On the wall are several oil paintings depicting the scenery of the Ghost Continent. The brushstrokes and rich colors are concentrated on the magnificence and treacherousness of the entire continent on the canvas.
"The taste is good."
However, Lin Yi didn't have much time to appreciate the details of these paintings.
As the vice president of the Imperial Sanatorium, this identity is not only a great helper, but also Lin Yi's biggest crisis.
Lin Yi must be familiar with the responsibilities and scope of power involved in this identity as soon as possible, otherwise he will be exposed if he is not careful.
Lin Yi's eyes fell on the pile of scattered documents on the desktop, and he reached out to look through a few pages casually.
The contents of the documents are mostly related to the daily operations of nursing homes, including patient treatment records, drug distribution lists, and even some research reports on ghosts and awakened people.
At this moment, the office door was gently knocked. "Come in." Lin Yi said in a deep voice.
The door was pushed open and a young woman in a black uniform walked in, holding a stack of documents in her hand.
Her face was pretty, and her eyes revealed a hint of shrewdness and ability. "Sir, this is the document you need to pass today." The woman walked to the table and respectfully placed the document on Lin Yi's desktop.
Lin Yi nodded, his eyes stayed on the woman for a moment, and then fell on the stack of documents.
He casually opened the top part and quickly glanced over the contents.
The content of the document is a detailed report about a high-risk awakened person recently received by the nursing home.
This awakened person has extremely powerful abilities, but his mental state is extremely unstable and may lose control at any time.
The report describes the awakened person's ability performance, mental assessment results, and behavioral records after admission.
"Is the surveillance measures of this awakened person in place?" Lin Yi asked with his head raised. "We have placed him in a special isolation area, equipped with the highest level of monitoring equipment, and arranged for a dedicated person to guard the 24-hour shift." The woman replied. "Very good." Lin Yi nodded, "Continue to strengthen monitoring and report to me immediately if there are any abnormalities."
"Yes, Dean." The woman responded and withdrew from the office.
Lin Yi's fingers slid gently on the document. Although his eyes were on the paper, his thoughts had already flown farther away.
The situation in the Ghost Continent is much more complicated than it seems on the surface.
The threats of ghosts, demons and strange beasts are like sharp swords hanging above human heads, which may fall at any time.
The power struggle within human beings has never stopped, and at some point it is even more deadly than the threats of those monsters.
After the woman left, Lin Yi slowly closed his eyes, and detailed information about the identity arranged for him by the Paradise of Reincarnation began to appear in his mind.
Lin Yi's predecessor was a conscientious vice president. On the surface, he focused on the management of nursing homes and the treatment of awakened people, but he was secretly investigating the secrets of the parliament.
He acted very cautiously and used his position to collect a large amount of secret information about the royal family.
This nursing home, ostensibly to treat those awakened people with mental abnormalities, is actually a secret place used by the parliament to detain and interrogate important people.
Among those sent in, some of them were not really mentally ill, but were sent here because they had mastered some secrets they shouldn't know.
Lin Yi stood up, walked to the bookshelf, and pulled out a heavy psychiatric book.
The cover of the book is printed with "Psychopathological Analysis of the Awakened One". After opening it, the dense notes and annotations inside show that the predecessor really invested a lot of energy in this job.
But Lin Yi is very clear that these superficial studies are just to cover up deeper purposes.
Through these studies, the predecessor not only gained an in-depth understanding of the mental state of the awakened person, but also took this opportunity to contact many important figures who were imprisoned here.
"Using the convenience of your position, collecting intelligence, and even secretly cooperating with certain forces... This predecessor is a smart person."
He put the book back into the bookshelf, his eyes scanned the room, and finally landed on the dark wall behind the desk.
According to the memory of the predecessor, there was an extremely important document hiding, involving the secrets of the royal family.
Lin Yi walked to the desk, pressed his finger lightly at a certain position on the desktop, and the secret wall quietly opened.
There is a sealed document inside, with no marks on the cover, which looks extremely secretive.
Lin Yi picked up the document, quickly unpacked the seal, and his eyes swept across the paper.
The document records a detailed observation report about a patient No. 17 in the special isolation area.
Put down the documents and walked to the desk. Lin Yi opened the drawer and found an internal map of the nursing home.
The functions of each area are marked in detail on the map, including general wards, isolation areas, laboratories, etc.
Lin Yi's eyes finally stopped on the "special isolation area" located underground. "It seems that I have to go there in person."
Lin Yi quickly put on the white uniform hanging on the hanger, pinned his identity card to his chest, and then strode out of the office. (This chapter ends)
