Chapter 55: Silver
Bell bell bell!
The alarm goes off.
Even during the leisurely summer vacation of the third year of high school, Lu Ran also stipulated to himself that he must get up at 08:30...... After all, if you wake up an hour late, you have an hour less time to play.
"Me!"
Lu Ran sat up from the bed suddenly.
It is no longer a closed mental ward, but a familiar "home".
On the white-painted walls, posters of several of Lu Ran's favorite horror games are pasted, high school textbooks are neatly stacked on the desk, and a soft and comfortable bed underneath him.
After living in Sister Wan'er's rented house for a few years, Lu Ran has never felt so comfortable as now, and can even be said to be 'happy'.
Lying in the dormitory is such a happy thing.
The computer's main unit light was still on, and there was a special stack of black files on the desktop.
The black document is the "entry form" that Lu Ran got from the detective agency, and the original white paper form has become black for some reason.
"Murderer, psychopath, perfect and comfortable psychiatric hospital life...... Is all this the "entry form" at work? ”
Lu Ran was not excited to break the demons in his heart, or so angry that he tore the form apart...... Instead, put on clothes, walk slowly to the window, and quietly stare at the green community environment and pedestrians coming and going outside the window.
That's half an hour.
The dream-like colorful experience of nearly two years slowly dissipated in Lu Ran's mind...... But the feelings and cognitions that this series of experiences brought to Lu Ran remained in his heart like an imprint.
Suddenly, there was a special feeling, as if the whole heart had calmed down.
Lu Ran smiled secretly and returned to the computer desk.
The "Entry Form" that was originally required to be filled out has all been turned black, and all the contents on it have been filled in.
"I'll just say it! How could I join the firm without an interview...... Is this "entry form" an interview for me? What a terrible trick, a piece of paper can make me fall into a fantasy and can't extricate myself...... If it weren't for the hand-drawn drawings of the characters in "The Complete Works of Sherlock Holmes" that made me connect with Detective Yan and the agency, and cooperate with the earthy singing, I might have fallen into it forever and couldn't extricate myself. ”
However, just as Lu Ran was about to turn off the computer, he accidentally found that [Hell Road] was running...... Moreover, a striking prompt box is popping up on the computer screen:
"Congratulations: [Hell Murder] has been completed, please click here for details.』
"Demon of the Heart" has been completed
Overall Rating: Good. (There is a longer delay in self-awareness, and a longer period of confusion.) )
Physical Harvest: None.
Virtual Gain: [Cognitive Ability] is slightly improved (the original cognitive ability is [zero], rare attributes will not be displayed in the attribute bar, and [Cognitive Ability] will affect the character's intuition, insight and perception to a certain extent.) )
Reward: +500 XP
Note (1): "I have reached the maximum amount of [Black Iron], do I want to level up?"
Note (2): [Heart Demon Training] is an individual quest, and you can get an extra "Attribute Value" reward after completion, and there is a small chance to increase rare attributes.
(Special note: In general, prisoners are growing up, when they reach a certain stage.) The 'Hell Official' will give the appropriate Inner Demon mission and ask it to be enforced. At present, the [Heart Demon Experience] is given by others and the illusion is 'stabilized' by us, and it is not included in the official Heart Demon assessment, but it can also obtain attribute improvements.
Note (3): The prisoner has not yet reached "Gold", the countdown to the forced murder has been refreshed, and the remaining time is "90 days".
After reading all this, Lu Ran was very interested in the 'rare attribute' that Lu Ran first systematically mentioned-[Cognitive Ability].
Just now, when Lu Ran stopped by the window of his bedroom and examined the external situation, he could obviously observe more information, and even the expressions of some pedestrians changed.
At the same time, after explaining this dream-like experience through [Hell Road], Lu Ran also understood why the 'interview' was counted as a 'murder mission'.
"Demon Experience...... That's right! On the night I got the "Induction Form", I first checked the "Hell Forum", and then I leaned down in front of the computer desk to browse the "Induction Form" without turning off the monitor and the [Hell Road] game...... I'm afraid that's when the camera captured this strange entry form and certified it as a murder mission. ”
"Whew!"
Lu Ran breathed a sigh of relief, this is really two birds with one stone.
First, I completed the interview with the firm.
The second is to complete the murder of hell and buy three months of free time.
Lu Ran leaned back in the computer chair and thought about the whole process.
"It's horrible...... If the memory is altered and the self is not aware of it, life will change completely. I remember that Detective Yan got this "entry form" through a special fax machine, could it be that it was made by the so-called BOSS? Just a piece of paper can confuse people for a lifetime, and it is terrifying. ”
Lu Ran, who was relieved, did not rush to the office to submit the "entry form".
Compared with this job, Lu Ran values the game [Hell Road] more.
It is the result of being able to reach out to the outliers, winning the firm's recognition, and all the 'quirky' gains that are being made so far.
This time, due to the completion of the special [Heart Demon Trial], Lu Ran gained more experience points than the ordinary "Hell Murder Piece".
"I've reached the maximum amount of [Black Iron], do you want to level up?"
"Yes!"
Along with it, a burst of silver light flashed on the computer screen.
Status Promotion!
On the black Hell ID card, the identity column is replaced with the word "silver", and the font is engraved in sterling silver.
In terms of related rights, silver has not changed much compared to bronze.
Lu Ran could still only be active on the first layer of [Scorched Earth Hell]...... However, after the status is upgraded, the treatment in Hell Town may be higher, and other specific changes will have to go to Hell to know.
But because he doesn't have a "Hell Pass", Lu Ran can't go over now, and he doesn't know what the situation of the 'Demon Jacket' he arranged to work in the hotel.
I have to say that the memories of the hell trip are unforgettable in Lu Ran's mind.
In addition, the hand-drawn map I bought also shows many interesting 'spots' of hell.
If there is a chance to get the "pass", Lu Ran will get it even if he takes a big risk.
"Silver Prisoner...... Although my [status] has improved, my own strength level has not improved much. Some of the characters in the novel are able to break through the walls with their bare hands if they cross one or two levels...... I'm also a relatively fast runner now, my center of gravity is relatively stable, and I can cover the bleeding effect when the chainsaw attacks, and the rest is not much different from ordinary people. ”
"However, the status is a symbol of status and power in hell, and true strength is tied to my spine...... Make sure to exercise at a fixed time every day and improve steadily. ”
