Chapter 169
Chen Ling nodded slightly, then asked doubtfully,
"What is the identity of Senior Bai Ye?"
"Me? I don't need an identity." Bai Ye chuckled, "As long as I don't want to be exposed, who can catch me in Aurora City?"
"Currently, a group of members of the Twilight Society have entered Aurora City, but most of them have no apparent identity. The intelligence I can collect by myself is limited. We need a larger intelligence network." Chu Mu Yun looked at Chen Ling and said seriously,
"Although you have not been in the company for a long time, you are the only one who can quickly take advantage of this aspect."
"Information..." Chen Ling said thoughtfully, "I know."
Chen Ling really needs a new identity. After all, he can't hide in Chu Muyun's house forever, but after his observation, it is no longer suitable to continue to be a law enforcement officer...
On the one hand, it is too complicated to re-enter the law enforcement system from a newcomer, and if you find a law enforcement officer to secretly take over and replace him, the risk will be too great. After all, he cannot inherit the other party's memory, and this is Aurora City where there are many strong people. Once someone discovers the clues, the consequences will be very serious;
On the other hand, there are too many high-level law enforcement officers in Aurora City. With his current strength, it is already the limit to disguise himself as a second- or third-level law enforcement officer. However, this is only the bottom layer in Aurora City's law enforcement system. Even if he successfully disguises himself, , and it is difficult to get access to any key information.
So how to choose this new identity is a difficult problem Chen Ling has to face.
"Before you find a new identity, stay here with me." Chu Muyun pointed to the distance, "The other courtyard is for you, but there are no servants here, so you need to provide your own meals every day."
"good."
Chen Ling was about to leave when something seemed to flash by in the sky. He squinted his eyes and saw a bright moon hanging high in the night sky.
"That's..." Chen Ling said in confusion.
"It's the Gray King." Chu Muyun replied calmly, "The Gray King is using the moonlight to establish contact with us... No, it doesn't seem to be 'us'..."
Chen Ling looked back along the hazy moonlight and saw a ray of moonlight, like white snow, falling in front of Bai Ye... Bai Ye raised his head slightly, looked at the bright moon through the brim of his peaked cap, and sighed helplessly. Take a breath.
"It seems that they are looking for me..."
…
Bai also left overnight.
Chen Ling returned to his own courtyard. Although it was only a separate courtyard, the area was already as large as three of his original homes in District 3. He opened the door and walked into the house, where all the daily necessities were available.
Chen Ling tidied up briefly, then lay back on the bed and quickly fell into dreamland.
When he opened his eyes again, he was back on the familiar stage. The audience's eyes were staring at him as before, like countless scarlet stars in the darkness.
After setting himself on fire on the train, Chen Ling had already come back once, but the situation was critical at that time. He had no time to do anything else. He returned to the real world as soon as possible and hid himself to prevent being discovered. Until now, he had no time. Take a closer look at the takeaways from this show.
He walked to the screen in the center of the stage and flipped through it one by one:
[Audience Expectation Value +5]
[Current expected value: 83%]
[It was detected that the actor connection was lost and the performance was interrupted]
[Audience Expectation Value-50]
[Current expected value: 33%]
After reaching the last message, Chen Ling's brows rose slightly.
After this death, there is still an expectation value of 33%, thanks to the previous increase in the expectation value to 83%... This is the first time that Chen Ling has raised the expectation value to this level, which can be regarded as creating a new history.
If Chen Ling remembers correctly, after the expectation value exceeds 80%, he should have an additional chance to draw random skills.
Chen Ling reached out and tapped the treasure box.
Thump thump thump—!
Along with the exciting music, a table appeared out of thin air in the center of the stage. On the white paper in the center of the table, a few lines of small words quickly appeared:
"It was detected that the audience's expectation exceeded 80% for the first time, and the achievement was unlocked - 'rave reviews'!"
"You get an extra draw."
"After using it, a character skill will be randomly selected from all the characters in this show to learn."
Chen Ling glanced at these words, and it was as he expected... But compared with the reward after completing the play, this random reward is still far behind. After all, this is a "character" and "skill" that are completely random. As the play is played, There are more and more characters appearing in the game, and the uncertainty of the extraction will be stronger. Moreover, there is no additional probability increase based on the play in this draw, and it is purely based on luck.
The white paper on the table suddenly disappeared, replaced by cards placed on the table one by one.
The colors of these cards are different, most of them are white and gray, some are blue, and Chen Ling even saw a few purple cards... This shows that some of the characters appearing this time have relatively high abilities. level of Shinto skills.
The next moment, these cards were turned upside down at the same time, revealing their uniform backs, and then overlapped at an alarming speed, and finally scattered and stayed neatly on the table.
Chen Ling knew that it was time to look at luck.
He took a deep breath and randomly clicked on a card in a corner. Chen Ling's expression suddenly stiffened when he saw a flash of white light appearing when the card was turned over.
"Skill: [Iron Fist of Justice]"
"Attribution: None."
"Character: Wen Shilin."
This is not a Shinto skill card, but an ordinary ability that is not even a "skill". From the perspective of rank, its level is basically the same as "cooking skills" and "housework proficiency".
When this card merged into Chen Ling's body, an introduction naturally appeared in his mind,
"Even if I am like an ant, my iron fist of justice will still firmly swing at all the darkness and injustice in the world... even if I will be reduced to ashes."
Chen Ling was a little confused. He didn't know how this outrageously weak skill had such a domineering introduction, and he didn't know who this "Wen Shilin" was... In his impression, he had never seen or heard of this person.
At this time, Chen Ling realized another problem... Although this random reward has a lot of uncertainty, it can allow him to draw the skills of people he has never seen before, and the selected reward after the end of the play must know the name of the character in the play before it can be drawn.
In this way, it is not that this reward is weak, but that his luck is too bad.
Chen Ling shook his head. Although he only drew an ordinary skill, he was not too depressed because he knew that he still had one chance.
After the cards disappeared, a blank piece of paper appeared on the table again.
"Congratulations on completing the play, When the Embers Fall."
