Chapter 759: Mission Impossible in the Hanging City (Part I)
"You...... Done with the interview? ”
"You know it's an interview, huh?"
When Chen Jing came out of the shack, Tuoke and the canary were standing aside waiting for him, and there were shadows in the alley not far away, and there were at least thirty mercenaries who were "watching" there, which showed that they regarded this shack dedicated to true immortals as a base camp.
"You passed?" The canary walked up to Chen Jing, holding a lady's cigarette in his mouth, his eyes full of doubts, "Look at the strange expression on your face." ”
Hearing this, Chen Jing couldn't help but complain in his heart, if I had known that the "true immortal" in your mouth was him, I wouldn't have been frightened.
"Dude, how's it going?" Tuoke strode over, it seemed that the symptoms of artificial muscle overload had subsided, the whole person looked much more normal, and his tone of voice became calm, "What did the true immortal say?" ”
In the eyes of others, Chen Jing's current state is a little weird, especially when he walks, he seems to be a little faltering, and his biological prosthetic eye flickers and disappears like a breathing lamp.
"Say...... I passed the ......" Chen Jing opened his arms and tried to put on an enthusiastic pose, "Hey, I'll be my own person from now on!" ”
Hearing Chen Jing say this, Canary and Tuoke immediately looked at each other, as if they couldn't believe that the "True Immortal" would agree so happily, after all, that "ancient existence" was notoriously difficult to speak.
Want to join an organization?
Of course.
After all, our organization is very enlightened, and it doesn't pay attention to anything like the [Turing Workshop], but ...... In the words of "True Immortals", our organization pays attention to "fate".
But what exactly is fate.
What kind of selection conditions is fate?
This is never explicitly stated by the "True Immortal", so every newcomer who enters the organization needs to be interviewed by "Him".
During this time, there were at least more than one hundred and fifty newcomers interviewed by the "True Immortal" in person, but only one-twentieth of them passed the interview with "Him", and the rest were directly brushed off.
As for why those people were eliminated, the "True Immortals" did not give any explanation for this.
Therefore, from the perspective of the organization, the selection of newcomers by "True Immortals" is extremely strict, although there are not so many rules and regulations for the research society on the surface, but if you want to pass the interview of "True Immortals", it is only more difficult than entering the research society.
Because of this, hearing Chen Jing say that he had passed the interview, Tuoke and Canary were so surprised.
"You're just going to get by?" The cigar in Tuoke's mouth didn't have time to be lit, and he hugged Chen Jing with a dull expression, and congratulated him in a completely confused way, "You...... You don't have to take an assessment or anything? ”
"What assessment?" Chen Jing was stunned.
"It's to complete some 'trial' tasks, and then find 'True Immortals' for a second interview, at which time 'True Immortals' will give you some verbal rewards to cheer you on, and then conduct another round of task tests, and finally a third interview...... If you pass the interview, you can join us. ”
"Damn, so troublesome?" Chen Jing was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart that Li Mobai's dog thing is quite appealing, tossing and turning to engage in these sets, and those who don't want to join halfway have to consider the sinking cost.
Three interviews in a row.
I can't get it before I pass it, and at most I get some verbal encouragement from "true immortals", what is the difference between this and painting a big pie?
But think about it from another angle.
Li Mobai naturally has his reasons for doing this, if he is really the omnipotent "true immortal" in the eyes of these believers, then he doesn't need to be stingy when recruiting newcomers in this way, and properly show his wealth, and there will only be more people who are willing to follow him.
So why is he so stingy?
Either he has other purposes, or he really can't do it, and taking some benefits out is already about to drain him......
Li Mobai didn't say the specific reason, and Chen Jing didn't have a chance to ask now, but it was based on feelings...... It should be the latter.
That guy's body is still under Turing's house arrest, and it is obviously impossible to use this consciousness backup to do whatever he wants.
If the movement is too loud, Turing will find out.
The movement is too small...... Well, if you want to be safe, it should be the current situation.
"Wait, I'll make sure."
The canary didn't seem to believe Chen Jing's words, after all, there were only one or two newcomers like him who could pass the interview so easily.
"Go." Chen Jing smiled, walked to the side with his hands in his pockets, stood under the only street lamp outside the shack, and looked at the gradually brightening sky, "Your 'True Immortal' is very optimistic about me." ”
"Optimistic about you?" The canary fox looked at Chen Jing suspiciously, then turned around and walked towards the shack, intending to ask the "True Immortal".
As soon as the canary walked into the shack with his front feet, Tuoke secretly patted Chen Jing's shoulder.
"Dude, don't mind." Tuoke said cautiously, as if he was afraid that the canary in the house would hear, "She has always been so temperamental, and she is too cautious, and sometimes I want to say that she is ......"
"It's good." Chen Jing said with a smile.
"Hey, don't be angry!"
Tuoke hurriedly hugged Chen Jing's shoulder, as if he thought that this underground hacker was angry because of this, after all, the canary's temper was quite annoying, so he hurriedly explained.
"In the past, she suffered a lot of losses because of carelessness, and once she was accidentally planted in the hands of the company, and they dismantled and prepared to sell, and in the end, we were lucky enough to stop the floating car transporting the goods in time......
"Dude, I'm really not as careful as you think." Chen Jing glanced at Tuoke helplessly, and then swept away his right hand on his shoulder, "I think that in a place like Hanging City, being cautious is the true way to immortality, so it's normal for her to behave like this, of course I can understand it." ”
"It's good to understand."
The canary suddenly pushed open the door and walked out, she had heard the conversation between Chen Jing and Tuoke before, so she deliberately glanced at Chen Jing as soon as she went out, with a hint of appreciation in her eyes.
"I asked, the 'True Immortal' said that you are eligible to be exempted from the test, and the next action against the [Blue Dragon Palace] will be up to you."
"Okay, I'm fine."
Chen Jing smiled and looked up at the gradually brightening sky.
"Find me a quiet place, closer to the [Blue Dragon Palace], I'm going to 'fugue' to explore the way for you."
"I'll find the place you say." The canary nodded, and then stretched out her hand to Chen Jing, "From today onwards, we will be our own people, and you are welcome to [Dadaomen]." ”
Chen Jing smiled and didn't speak, and shook hands with her.
"Well, I'll take care of it later."
