The end of a hill a few kilometers away from the town of Green Lake.

A group of 'gentlemen' in crisp suits are observing the situation in the town by different means.

One of the uncles with a big belly and a dangerous hairline commented softly:

"It seems that there are many famous families participating in this month's assessment, will it be too harsh to set up in [Green Lake Town]...... If the risk is too high, you may lose quality talent. ”

Then

A white-haired old man with his hands behind his back and an owl on his shoulders replied:

"I'd rather raise the screening bar than put resources on the weak who can't solve the crisis.

The city's population is almost at its limit.

The supply of "skins" began to decline a few months ago. If this continues, it will be difficult for the organization to provide effective gentleman training, and the internal balance will be disrupted.

If Mr. Sman is not satisfied with this, he can give his opinion to the senior management. ”

The chubby teacher Siman hurriedly raised his hand to apologize,

"Professor Chamberson, I just make an objective evaluation and have no opinion on your assessment site.

If there is a danger that is much higher than the assessment, I hope that everyone present can take action to suppress it as soon as possible. ”

"It's inevitable."

At this moment,

The white-haired old man noticed a special young man who did not choose to form a team, but walked alone in the streets of the town.

Its dark clothing design is more conspicuous, and the meat balls rooted in the shoulders are more conspicuous.

"Teacher Sman, it seems that this young man is not recorded in the assessment list? He doesn't seem to have any obvious signs of a family or school. ”

Siman was in charge of personnel, and his eyes also fell on Yi Chen.

"Oh! It is indeed an unfamiliar face, this should be the assessment student who was temporarily added today.

The introducer is the person in charge of the Seven Days Cemetery - Wilbert. Astorga, a letter from the ravens in the cemetery asked to participate in this month's assessment. ”

When Chamberson heard the name, he seemed to fall into a memory,

Wilbert ...... This kid is quite withdrawn, has few friends during his studies, and is alone. In the end, he won the qualification to establish a cemetery with his own strength and lived alone.

People like him would actually introduce talents to the organization. ”

While the two were chatting,

The other gentlemen also noticed the lone young man, and he deliberately chose an inn that was not quite right.

"There is no "skin" decoration,

Just relying on the senses of ordinary people, he has already caught the anomalies in the small town and actively approached the danger? The young man was kind of funny. ”

The white-haired Chamberson, as the temporary person in charge of this assessment, originally came here with the attitude of carrying out the task.

This young man from the cemetery made him interested.

……

【Green Shade Hotel】

Yi Chen held an aluminum chip key engraved with [#0206]

Aiming at the lock mouth full of mottled scratches, the internal machinery comes out with the unlocking sound of matching the tooth gap,

Squeak ~ The door opens.

The carpet with a diamond pattern spreads all over the room, and the dust is trapped under the pile of the carpet, and the overall appearance is barely neat.

Not a spacious room,

There is a wooden bed that is 1.5 meters wide, and the dark bedding hides as much as possible the stains left by the previous guest.

The vertical glass windows are covered with newspapers with the headline 'Green Lake Town' to block the rays of sunlight.

There was still a piece of clothing hanging from the wooden coat rack by the window, as if the previous resident had left in too much hurry and forgot to take it with him...... Or rather, not leaving at all.

Tick~

The sound of dripping water kept coming from the bathroom on the right side of the door.

Upon inspection, it was found that only the shower was leaking, and the entire bathroom was covered with a layer of water stains, which was damp and cold.

"Whew...... Let's take a break. ”

Yi Chen didn't dislike it, and sat on the edge of the soft bed.

Grab the "Green Lake Town Flyer" on the bedside table.

There is a map of the town of Green Lake on it,

The whole town is built around the lake and is in the shape of an inverted L.

The busiest town center is located at the intersection of streets.

The back of the leaflet also reads some benefits for foreign tourists.

1. Green Lake Town will provide free boat service from 13:00 to 17:00 every day, which can be enjoyed by any traveler.

*The number of boat rides per day is not allowed to exceed 1 time.

*This service will not be available at night, if you receive an invitation to board at night, please decline at the first time and rush to the Sheriff's Office in the center of town to report the situation.

2. Green Lake Town will provide tourists with "natural green water" collected from the deep spring of the lake every day, which can sweep away impurities in the body and improve physical fitness.

*Green Lake is the heart of the town, so you don't waste it, and once you receive it, you have to drink it all.

*Staff who provide green water for free must wear green overalls, and if you encounter someone else providing green water, please be sure to refuse.

3. The town of Green Lake hosts a bonfire in the town every night with delicious local food for free.

*Masks must be worn by participants or passers-by.

*During the party, if you notice anyone not wearing a mask, please stay away immediately and report to the Sheriff's Office.

*The evening will never, ever be set up outside of the town centre.

Yi Chen stared at the words on the leaflet with a serious face, and muttered:

"These things are somewhat similar to the employee handbook in the cemetery, and they are all kind of things like [rules]...... Failure can have dire consequences.

Is this kind of rule-based stuff very common in this world?

Moreover, the 'rules' of the leaflet only deal with the surface of the town are relatively broad.

There are some details about the interior of the town that are not mentioned, such as the inn where I am currently ......"

At this moment,

There was a squirming sensation between Yi Chen's body,

The furry black orb crawled out of the cuffs and landed firmly on the bed.

It opened its white fangs and made a strange noise.

"[Rules] are set by you humans to deduce, evade pathogenesis, and avoid danger.

Pathogens hidden in this world can be transmitted through any channel, in any form.

It can also be embodied as a certain entity, influencing and invading individuals through some interactive behaviors.

If you can follow certain rules, you can reduce the probability of disease to a certain extent and reduce the possibility of dangerous events.

It is only a reduction, not a complete elimination,

If you really want to eradicate the danger, you have to rely on strong measures.

That's about it......

After all, my memories come from cemetery No. 6 in the cemetery, obtained by integrating brain fragments, and I don't know a lot. ”

"Who discovered these rules?"

"Surely it is some prophet among you humans, or some gentleman with foresight? I don't know. ”

"Well, that's all for later, let's follow the inn in front of you and investigate.

Try to find out what the town's pathology is likely. ”

Speaking of which,

Little Grape's eyes rolled between his teeth, and he said excitedly,

"Hmm...... I can feel a more serious illness happening in this hotel.

There must be an even greater threat lurking in the depths of this town...... Maybe there are big grapes to eat~ You have to be careful, but don't die. ”
