Chapter 214 Unknown Death

 After this task was delegated to the Gentlemen’s Hall, two teammates were matched within half a day. There were two main reasons.

  1. There are a large number of gentlemen who have reached their limit but never made a breakthrough. Don't look at it. Yi Chen already has two special relics in his possession. For most gentlemen, it is difficult to find relics that suit them.

 Compete for a spot in the relic event, the dangerous gray area around the passage, and the one-day only exploration of the old world.

Even if the above three items are successfully passed, ancient relics dug out from the gray sandy ground on the surface of the old world may not necessarily correspond to their own attributes. The relics themselves may even be missing a few cents and cannot be used for breakthroughs.

  2. Levenholm is the third largest city under the organization and has many elite gentlemen stationed there.

 The four people who were still [human beings] were arranged there. They would not come into contact with the most dangerous areas, but would assist in completing some more ordinary backup tasks.

 As long as you don't take the initiative to commit suicide, the risk is not particularly high.

If the subsequent difficulty of the event is judged to be beyond five-star, participants will also receive compensation from the organization. As Barry said, once you make a good contribution to an event, you may receive a relic directly from the organization.

 Even if there is no direct relic reward, the next relic event will still get priority.

 …

Yi Chen and the four others were taken to the second floor of the Gentlemen's Hall.

 An old acquaintance, Director Ai Ji, who wears a tall hat and is responsible for conducting the ‘qualification review’ of the four people.

This review is rather special. In addition to confirming that a certain attribute of the four people has reached the limit, detailed verification must also be carried out to ensure that the abilities of the four people can play a corresponding role in supporting Levenholm.

To ensure privacy, team members will follow Director Aiji to the cubicle alone for a private review.

As soon as he met Aiji, he stared at Yi Chen, who was standing at the end of the team, even half of his body was blocked by Barry's armor.

“It’s you again...William? Why don’t you just stay in the academy? You have to get involved in such a dangerous thing.

 You should be the first one to come over and check you out first. "

 Ai Ji felt a little sorry for geniuses like Yi Chen because of the arrangement of the [Twilight Clinic].

Based on the internal information he has learned so far, he does not want Yi Chen, a student who has not yet graduated from the academy, to be involved in this incident, so he silently raises the screening standards in his mind.

 Enter the compartment,

When Director Aiji's palm touched Yi Chen's shoulder, the basic value he read shocked him. If the hat didn't have a special buckle, he might have slipped off his head.

 “You…have reached your physical and mental limits?”

 “Just arrived a few days ago.”

“You guy, you can barely pass the basics.

But what happened in Levenholm is extraordinary and requires you to show a ‘specialty’, any speciality will do. I will judge whether it is suitable for the Levenholm event based on what you show. "

 Ai Ji has already thought about it in advance. Yi Chen only needs to use his signature [Eye Technique].

He would have vetoed his participation on the grounds that Levenholm had arranged for a large number of gentlemen of the visual perception class.

 However, Yi Chen's eyes did not change, and Little Putao did not appear.

 Just extend your right hand as a gesture of shaking hands.

 Just when the two people held each other's hands.

Some kind of mucus was secreted from Yi Chen's palm, and the danger stimulated his instinct and made Aiji quickly withdraw his hand.

 Take a closer look,

This is a pitch-black liquid that emits black smoke and evaporates instantly after landing, leaving no trace.

“Director Aiji, I actually didn’t plan to take on the mission last night.

As a result, when I visited the Magician's Association, I accidentally saw something about Levenholm and it was related to death. Part of the characteristics of death in my body had just awakened, so I decided to take some time to go to Levenholm, and maybe I could gain something. . "

 Aggie shook his head helplessly. The young man in front of him was completely beyond his cognitive scope.

“Go, go~ Anyway, the fact that you are here means that Chamberson must have agreed. Let me explain to you in advance, the situation in Lewenholm is worse than it appears.

 A missing gentleman has been found and found dead at the bottom of the river.

 is a clinic apprentice who has reached the limit of coordination but has not yet broken through. According to the autopsy, he died directly without any resistance during his lifetime, and the possibility of suicide is very high.

After you go there, you must follow local requirements and do not investigate without authorization, let alone go to some dark streets and alleys alone. "

"good."

 With the completion of Yi Chen’s testing,

Teammates also followed suit and reviewed one after another. White-robed Lotson easily passed with his unique ancient magic.

Barry, who was born into a knight family, relied on his unique "knight aura" to pass the review.

As for the last old gentleman in the team, he was not called alone.

“Mr. Hervoye, I didn’t expect you to sign up through such a conventional method.”

“Occasionally I want to follow the action of young people. Otherwise, if I stay in my small workshop all the time, I feel that my bones are about to completely age. Maybe one day I will lie down on my own..."

Director Aggie looked at everyone and said, "Since Mr. Hervoye is involved, the team will follow his arrangements throughout the process.

  He was the autopsy examiner at the original Hippocratic Hospital. Many people of our generation received special care from Mr. Hervoy after their death.

 He is also an elite gentleman himself and can effectively ensure your safety. "

 “Elite gentleman?”

Yi Chen and others were confused because this task was assigned to gentlemen who had not yet broken through, so how could there be an elite gentleman in the team.

“This task was formulated three days ago and was reserved exclusively for the Magicians Association for three days.

When it was transferred to us today, the severe situation in Levenholm was far from what it was three days ago. Therefore, the content of the task was revised, and one of the participants will be led by an elite gentleman.

That’s all for now, hurry up and get in the car without further ado. With every minute of delay, Levenholm's situation was getting worse.

 I wish you all the best and hope that all of you will return in good health. "

 …

　　【Lewenholm】

 All residents are confined to their homes due to unknown deaths.

 Some outsiders and people without real estate were centralized in hotels, concentration camps and other areas, and seals were affixed to the door of each household.

Daily food supplies will be distributed by groups of gentlemen downstairs or at the door of their respective homes.

Everyone is also very aware of the large number of deaths that have occurred recently. They all stay at home and obey the management. I hope that the gentlemen can eliminate the haze of death hanging over the city as soon as possible.

 At noon,

There is a family of four living in a single-family residential building.

 The eldest daughter Mary is sixteen years old. Since she cannot go to school during this period, she basically practices painting in the bedroom on the second floor every day.

Chirping~ There was a sound of birds chirping outside the window.

Mary immediately looked for the sound and found a row of starlings neatly landing on the telephone pole outside the window. It's strange that they don't make any extra movements, they just stand like this.

 When the birds felt Mary's gaze, they began to move regularly.

 Fly within the field of vision that can be seen through the window, stopping and moving.

 Twenty minutes passed,

Mary's mother had prepared today's meal and called her sister and brother to come down for dinner, but it was only the younger brother who ran downstairs.

 Since Mary often forgets to eat because she is so absorbed in painting,

The mother walked up to the second floor impatiently, ready to talk to her daughter about the painting.

 As soon as I opened the door~pop! She was so frightened that she collapsed on the ground.

Mary was hanging in the center of the room using a hanging rope knot. She had already died. On her shoulders were still standing several starlings that had flown in from the window, and one was even pecking at her eyeballs.
