After a heated discussion in the square, the person in charge of the test looked gloomy and the square suddenly became silent again.
"Vampire identity..." The examiner's expression was somewhat complicated. He looked at the registration staff and said, "Go and inform them."
Three minutes after the test results were announced, a luxury car stopped outside the square and Sur was invited to get in without knowing what was going on.
There are sachets hanging in the car, giving off a slightly bitter smell.
"Why..."
The man, who was almost half-lying on the chair, adjusted his angle, sat up and stretched: "Welcome to our big family."
Su Er stared at him for a few seconds and said slowly, "Vampire?"
"Smart!" The man clapped his hands and turned his head to reveal a rare pair of heterochromia eyes: "My name is Sanhua."
Hearing the name, Su Er's eyebrows twitched slightly, but he held out his hand without changing his expression: "Su Er."
Sanhua's hands were icy and cold.
"Those who acquire vampire status have the ability to extend their lives one to three times. For the dying, we're like an oasis in the desert." He smiled sarcastically, his harsh tone coming out before softening. "To avoid being kept captive by such people, vampires unite and form families. If even one member is treated unfairly, they will retaliate a hundredfold."
Su Er: "It seems that we have a strong backer."
He is so arrogant despite having the ability to prolong his life. If he had no one to rely on, he would have been imprisoned by the joint crackdown long ago.
Sanhua nodded: "Make good use of your talent."
Sur lowered his eyes and thought, for a vampire, it is not difficult to find a powerful person to support behind the scenes, let alone a vampire family, which is equivalent to the influence of various top forces.
Sanhua didn't say much. He looked at the photo album for a while, then fell asleep with the magazine on his face.
There was a small TV in the car, and Sur watched each channel for a few minutes. Combined with the information he had heard from the girls in the square before, he had a general understanding.
Leaving aside the two key words "identity" and "superpower", this copy should be the most realistic one to date.
The country, society, school... the entire system is basically similar, and the world view is also normal, without some weird ideas dominating.
However, this world is also full of dangers. Some animals have evolved into dangerous monsters in the course of history, and there are also evil cultists who want to build their own kingdom.
At the red light at the intersection, Sanhua didn't open her eyes, her voice muffled through the paper. "The college's acceptance letter will arrive in the next two days. Remember to attend the training class tomorrow. Someone will explain the specific rules you need to follow after activating your special ability."
"Where?"
Sanhua said not to worry: "There is a special car to pick you up."
The phone suddenly vibrated. Sanhua tossed the magazine aside and saw the message that had just been sent: "Both your parents passed away young. It seems that we don't have to contact your parents."
Su Er didn't say anything. He had long been accustomed to the role setting of the unlucky star in the dungeon.
The car drove all the way to the suburbs and finally stopped outside an ancient castle.
There were only trees and telephone poles around, and the faint cries of crows could be heard. Su Er was silent for a few seconds: "Is the sale of this land legal?"
"Of course." Sanhua opened the door for him like a gentleman after getting out of the car. "There are only a few vampires in this city, only ten in total."
Then he winked at Soul and said, "Now that's eleven."
The sound of the door opening was dull and long-lasting.
The decor was retro, but not particularly popular. Sanhua casually sat down on the carpet as she entered. "Everyone has their own work, and I'm the only one here today. You can choose any room above the third floor."
Living alone on an entire floor is more of a suffocating horror and depression than a luxury.
The copy was rare and kind, and the night was peaceful.
The next morning, a car honked several times outside the villa. Sur had packed up in advance and ran downstairs immediately when he heard the sound.
This is a school bus, and the passengers are all students who have successfully activated their identities in this area.
Sur saw several players wearing badges. They sat in their respective seats without communicating with each other for the time being.
The training center was located within a prestigious university in the city. It was holiday season, and the campus was practically empty except for those attending the training. Within ten minutes, three school buses pulled up.
Four teachers stood in the front, each holding a form in their hands.
The woman in overalls held a megaphone and said, "If anyone's name is called, come forward."
Suer didn't like being in the crowd, so he stood at the end of the line, unable to see what was happening in front of him, and listened to her attentively.
The one hundred students were evenly distributed, and the remaining twenty-five were all players.
Sur saw a very familiar figure among them. His facial features were almost carved out of the same mold as Ji Heng's. The difference was that his outline was not as deep, his skin was very white, and he had a youthful and energetic air.
As if aware that he was being watched, the man turned his head, and Suer saw his badge clearly.
Ji Heng.
The name above cannot be faked.
Sur raised his eyebrows... Rejuvenation?
Ji Heng gestured for him to look around. Su Er took a quick look and saw that all the players looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old.
He'd taken two years off from school in real life, but that only meant he'd turned twenty, so he hadn't noticed any changes in his appearance. Taking these people's situations into account, the hindsight copy forcibly pushed everyone's age back several years.
"Why go through so much trouble?" Su Er walked beside Ji Heng as they went upstairs. "Didn't they just give an identity directly in the past?"
Just like playing a game, all the NPCs see is the results generated by the data.
"Be careful." Ji Heng deliberately slowed down his pace, letting the two of them fall behind the team, and said in a low voice, "Only when there are uncontrollable factors will the dungeon be so cautious."
Suer pursed his lips, feeling that this mission was unusual.
The classroom was very clean, and someone must have cleaned it before.
There was some interaction between the players now. Those who were familiar with each other sat together automatically, but there were also some who kept to themselves. Suddenly, someone uttered a "whoosh," as if in surprise.
Suer didn't know the reason at first, until he saw the male teacher standing on the podium. He was stunned for a moment, looked again, and looked back and forth three times, marveling at the magic of the Creator.
It was a face that was more exquisite than ever before. When your eyes stayed on it, it was stunning, but when you looked away, it seemed ordinary.
"I'm the host, Mr. Pu Liu. First of all, congratulations on passing yesterday's awakening test..."
Mr. Pu Liu spoke irrelevant words for nearly five minutes.
"Excuse me, what's the mission?" A player in the first row asked directly, "A day has already passed."
The longer it drags on, the more it harms the interests of the players.
Mr. Pu Liu raised his hand slightly, signaling him to calm down. "Let me explain the rules first. This game does not allow fratricide."
Su Er glanced around casually and found that most people didn't react much to this statement. Then he thought, for a more powerful player, there are thousands of ways to kill their teammates.
"The task you have to complete is called..." Mr. Pu Liu's eyes were cold: "Who killed the host?"
At that moment, dozens of eyes fell on him.
"Ten days ago, a host was leading a group of players on a quest, and they were completely wiped out." Mr. Pu Liu: "The complete annihilation here includes the host."
Host died?
This was the first time Suer had heard of such a thing.
"This is a special case. Everyone has a month to find out the truth."
No one felt relieved by this statement, but instead felt heavy-hearted. Even Su Er felt the same way. Even the host was dead, so one could only imagine the danger of this dungeon.
Mr. Pu Liu's expression was serious. "While there's no prohibition on fratricide, I suggest you all cherish your current status, unite your forces, and fully utilize all resources."
Soul felt that he had become the center of attention as soon as he finished speaking.
The dual identities of succubus and vampire are very helpful in winning over people.
Ji Heng interrupted everyone's attention and asked, "How much information about the last instance can you reveal?"
Mr. Pu Liu: "According to the original dungeon setting, it's a game called Snatching Food from the Tiger's Mouth. The winner is to steal any item from Wanbaolin. Wanbaolin is the most famous auction house in the country and is heavily guarded."
He walked down from the podium and handed out a list one by one. It contained information about the roles played by the death host and the players in the previous dungeon.
Suer took a quick look and saw only four players. The death rate in a small-player dungeon wasn't usually too high near the end; in other words, it was usually medium to high difficulty at best.
I don't know what kind of terrible accident happened in the middle, but in the end even the host was killed?
In the following time, Mr. Pu Liu carefully explained how to maximize the use of abilities. There are three channels for evolution: meditation, actual combat training, and taking energy liquid.
After 30 minutes of instruction, most of the players present were able to use their powers, but since they were novices, their abilities didn't last long and their impact was average. Ji Heng awakened as a werewolf, possessing great strength and speed.
"Accommodation is required during the training period," Mr. Pu Liu emphasized. "As for the daytime, as a trainer, I will give you maximum freedom to go out and do whatever you want."
Because it was the first day of training, the students all chose to have lunch in the cafeteria.
It is holiday now, and the school has only hired two chefs to take care of the meals.
As soon as Su Er sat down in the cafeteria, someone came to talk to him. He didn't think too highly of himself and was very gentle. Soon several students gathered around him. When Ji Heng finished his meal, he found that he was surrounded. He smiled helplessly and changed his seat.
"What exactly are the abilities of a succubus?"
"Can you show me?"
Many people are curious about his abilities.
Su Er propped up his head and smiled casually, his eyes were very charming, and the people who looked at him couldn't help but feel a tingling sensation in their bodies.
One player saw this scene and sighed softly: "It seems that he will be able to form a small group soon."
Sur did just that. There was just enough time in the afternoon for students to buy toiletries, clean up their dormitories, etc. Sur seized this opportunity and walked out of the school gate surrounded by a group of people, under the pretext of shopping.
From a distance, there are men and women, like the moon surrounded by stars, and their backs are full of romance.
Seven o'clock in the evening.
The sky is overcast and it looks like it's going to rain.
During the daytime training, players exchanged contact information with each other and created a group, agreeing to meet in the classroom at a certain time to exchange the clues they had found.
Twenty-four of the twenty-five players showed up, with Suhr absent.
Mr. Pu Liu glanced around and sneered, "It seems someone wants to be a lone beast."
Ji Heng frowned slightly. This was not like Sur's style. Even if he wanted to form a faction, he would not deliberately sever his ties with other players.
Just as I was about to call Suer, my phone vibrated first.
"Ji Heng." The voice on the other end was very hoarse, and even had a hint of grievance.
Ji Heng had never heard Suer speak in such a tone. He knew something big must have happened and suddenly stood up, startling everyone around him.
"Don't worry, what happened?"
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.
Ji Heng's tone was much softer than usual: "Only by speaking out can we find a way to deal with it."
"…I was caught by the anti-prostitution police in the hotel."
A few seconds after he finished speaking, Soul's tone rose slightly, with some indignation: "Is this reasonable? I'm a succubus, why are they arresting me?"
