Chapter 13: The Festival of Fire

"Ding! Replica broadcast: The number of lucky winners in this multidimensional space: 100 people; Number of survivors: 8. Among the survivors, 7 have lost their career promotion path, and 1 has successfully obtained career promotion qualifications. The situation of the lucky ones in the multidimensional space has been stabilized, and the novice assistance period has ended. ”

"Ding! System Prompt: You have been successfully promoted to the Career Guillotine Town Tax Officer (Trainee), please wear decent work clothes to report to the Tax Department as soon as possible. ”

"System prompt: Congratulations on becoming the king of newcomers this year, and the relevant rewards will be settled after leaving the dungeon."

After listening to a series of system prompts, Li Du nodded in satisfaction.

To be honest, he didn't expect the first crisis-ridden quest to be completed in this way.

At this moment, he seemed to have changed shotguns, and was wearing a slightly charred full high-end gown (albeit a bowler/hole), sitting a cigar, and holding his cane under the crunch and leaning against the street lamp along the street.

He looked at the fire across the street, threw the career card in his hand into the sewer, and walked out of the alley.

The fire was still blazing in the rain.

"What a cold-blooded world...... There is not even a fire brigade for such a big fire! ”

There is still a day or so left before the copy is left, and with the identity of the tax officer in hand, it should not be dangerous to deal with it carefully under normal circumstances.

What's more, his physical fitness is slowly increasing every minute, and he is ...... at this moment

Status 1: [Warts] The tracking mark of the rat clan in the wall. Although it grows in the body, it is not harmful to the body. Well, it's a little ugly when it's dissected.

State 2: You haven't eaten breakfast, and you're hungry at the moment.

Description: This is a non-existent Blue Star human...... (Identity Retrieval Error & ……%29& *) It's a real thing! Are all Blue Star humans so 666? I was lucky enough to be promoted to tax officer when I was a newcomer, and my future is immeasurable! Prudence and shrewdness gave him a great start.

……

I ?!! Convex ('0 ́) convex

It turns out that the human puppet has the ability to [Life Sacrifice] to permanently reduce stamina! And what the hell is that rat wart!

Sure enough, you can't take it lightly at all.

Walking out of the alley is a T-junction, Li Dui remembers it vividly, to the left is the direction where he fled in a hurry last night, and the other side extends far away, but he doesn't know where it leads.

Although it was daytime, Guillotine Town was overcast, and it was still depressing and depressed.

Occasionally, there were passers-by and walking corpses walking by with a strong stench, and Li Dui's dress was far away.

It's a great opportunity to learn about the spooky world, and at least gather as much intel as you can before the next quest.

With that in mind, he paced down the street to the left, intending to see where he had come.

I walked like this for a long time, until the hunger in my stomach was unbearable, and the streets finally became popular.

"Gollum-hiccup," a huge stitch monster walked past him with a fat crotch and a dark green burp.

A pitch-black shadow with a human face quickly spread forward, leaving behind obscene words, "Beauty...... Person...... See...... Beauty ......"

The entire guillotine town seemed to come to life, and the direction in which Li Dui was advancing was like a certain center, and strange and strange monsters were constantly gathering in all directions.

Beauty?

With great interest, Twilight pulled over a child who was running wildly, looking for it but not finding his face.

In desperation, he could only stare at his theoretical face and ask, "What are you doing in front?" ”

"I beep β€”β€”β€”β€” your beepβ€”β€”β€”β€” oh no...... Dear Mr. Tax Officer, I mean you're so handsome! The child's palm was grabbed by Li Dui, and a frightened voice sounded, "I didn't know it was you!" Today is the Fire Festival, don't you go to see the bouncing white rabbit? ”

After that, while Li Dui was not paying attention, the child's left hand shook rapidly, and he actually broke free.

After a while, he ran away without a shadow.

What a left-handed guy with a long face! Li Du thought of something and sneered.

"Overfire Festival...... It is a traditional festival...... Ahem, legend has it that the heroes of Guillotine burned down the evil Notre-Dame Cathedral a long time ago, setting the tone for chaos in the spooky world.

After that, every day, everyone had to run naked over the red-hot coals to commemorate the hero. ”

Well?

The old hoarse voice suddenly sounded from the side of the road, immediately attracting Li Dui's attention.

I saw an old woman sitting cross-legged in a dilapidated tent on the side of the road, with a hooked nose with black spots, and she didn't look like a good person!

A mouthful of yellow teeth, one by one, it was obvious that she was talking just now.

Seeing that Li Du noticed her, the old woman showed a meaningful smile and beckoned Li Du to pass.

"You've just arrived...... Lucky? geigeigei…… Do you want to do a dark divination? In front of her lay a large cauldron, and from time to time blue-gray smoke wafted out.

"Hehe......" Li Du sneered, and Graham took a bite of the hamburger he had just touched from the child's pocket, and said vaguely: "Swim fitness, understand?" ”

The old woman wiped the crystal ball that looked normal, and she didn't talk to Li Duan, but said in a sighing tone: "It's okay if you don't count...... Anyway, it's a bad omen, a bad omen, ......"

After that, he stopped looking at Li Du and went back to the tent.

Well, there's no sense of humor at all......

Li Du shrugged his shoulders and followed the flow of people towards the center of the guillotine town, but the further he went, the more crowded he became.

If it weren't for the identity of the tax officer, he could go through the VIP channel, and at this moment he had been suffocated by the crunch of the strong man.

On the square, the most striking thing is a huge tower made of ice crystals.

At this moment, the giant tower was covered with scarlet flint, and bursts of heat rushed in.

"Hello, oh~ It's you, haha, hello ......" Li Du kept taking off his hat and saluting the dignitaries around him as he walked, and finally squeezed to the front.

He wanted to see what kind of big scene attracted everyone.

It's a big scene.

All right...... (಑ω಑)

Li Du wiped her saliva.

Understood, all understood. Grandmother's! This strange world is not healthy at all, he really wants to find the kid just now and ask what the jumping white rabbit is!

In the final analysis, Li Du is still very upright, and he turned to observe the people around him.

The entire square is divided into several distinct areas, and the most cluttered should be the civilian area with poor visibility. After all, it's a weird monster, and many people there have been pushed into a ball, and even something unsightly has happened.

The area where Li Du was located was much better, at least on the surface.

Li Du squeezed away the fat tentacle monster beside him, slapped away the tentacles he was rubbing against himself, and raised his eyes to look at the most orderly area.

There were not many people in that area, but they were highly respected, and even many civilians knelt down from afar to say hello.

"Longing, huh? The little tax officer, is he also dreaming of becoming an employee of the Cthulhu Group? The tentacle monster hummed and lowered its head to Li Dui and asked.

"Who are you?" Li Du slapped the tentacles on his shoulders again, and shouted angrily: "Where did the dead come from, report your name and I will carve a tombstone for you!" ”

"If I'm not mistaken, it's your boss, little tax officer......" The tentacle monster took a few steps back awkwardly, waved his tentacle at the dignitaries beside him, and then said in a very cold tone.

Ay???

"Ding! The Director of the Department of Taxation, Daimler Ball Split, has a good opinion of you-10"

Belch...... The situation is a bit complicated.

Li Du hesitated for a moment and raised a finger, "Okay, Director!" You win. Do you know who I am, though? ”

For a while, the momentum was awe-inspiring, and it was also bluffed that the tentacle monster ball was stunned.

His tentacles swayed, a little unclear. In the weird world, what is higher than brachiopod creatures? If it weren't for the fact that he wasn't a complete body, he would have gone to the Cthulhu Group to take up an important position a long time ago.

Could it be that which bigwig planted the descendants of the tax department?

Therefore, he asked suspiciously, "Who is Mr. Dare to ask?" The tax department is a bit big, and I didn't recognize it at once. ”

"Hehe, that's fine! If you don't know me, I'm afraid of you, a bird! After Li Du finished speaking, taking advantage of the ball's stunned effort, he suddenly jumped up and jumped over the fence to the overheated preparation area, and instantly disappeared into the crowd in line.

……

"There can be another 50 people in front, and our team will hold on to the wide clothes !!"

Twilight: =͟͟͞͞(β—β°κˆŠβ°β—|||)!!

He squatted down slightly and tried to retreat quietly, but he collapsed to find that he had been blocked by various bodies behind him.

On the high platform not far away, the big eyes of the ball crack were constantly scanning and searching for something......

Meow a!

Although it was said that the Fire Festival advocated going overboard, there are still more conservative weird monsters, but that is limited to ladies.

"What are you waiting for! Don't hurry up, blasphemy of the hero will be doom! ”

Urges began to sound.

Li Dui's brain was in a trance for a while, and he involuntarily reached into his trouser pocket and pulled it out......

Well...... It seems that the old diviner woman is right, it is really a bad omen!
