Chapter 231 Another Way to End the World
"Hello, we have something to ask you." The girl took out an ID and waved it in front of Lu Ming.
"This is not the place to talk. Why don't we find a place to talk in detail? You should trust the public security in our country, right? How about this gentleman coming along?" The man said with a smile and turned to look at Gu Qingyuan.
Gu Qingyuan followed the host's wishes and pretended to be a little bit polite, then looked at Lu Ming.
Lu Ming was still wondering what the ID was. The girl danced too fast and he couldn't see it clearly. "Okay, I'm blindfolded too!"
So, the group of four moved on the spot, and then... came to the roadside stall where Lu Ming had been drinking before.
"The lamb kidneys here are roasted very tender. I come here to eat every once in a while. Don't be polite. This meal is on my table!" The man turned his head and waved.
"First, give me eighty skewers, half of which are pork belly, and half of which are lean meat. Then give me a piece of fish, and ten skewers of kidneys. No more beer for now, but some drinks. I'm a regular customer, boss, can you give me a platter?"
Lu Ming sat down under the boss's puzzled look at the customers who came back. It felt a little unreal. In the last second, he was still fantasizing about a life-and-death battle royale, and in the next second, he was sitting at a roadside stall eating barbecue. He thought that people who came would find a quiet place, such as a rooftop, and then say something like the end of the world and need to be saved.
He smiled and shook his head, feeling that his second-year syndrome, which had been beaten by life and had no cure, was about to relapse.
When the grilled skewers and the mixed fish platter sent by the boss were served, the man ate a few skewers fiercely.
"Eat first, and talk later. It's my pity that I have to run on an empty stomach. My friend, try our specialties, which are comparable to a state banquet!" The second half of the sentence was said to Gu Qingyuan.
It has been a long time since Gu Qingyuan had such a pleasant meal of skewers. The last time... was in his previous life.
After everyone had finished eating, the man finished most of the fish, rinsed his mouth with soda, and swallowed it in one gulp. Then he said to Lu Ming, who had not eaten much, "Hey, are you full? If you are, it's time to talk about business."
Lu Ming muttered to himself that he felt like he was having his last meal before execution, and nodded in agreement.
"Actually, the world is about to end, and we need you to save it!" The man adjusted his belt and spoke.
Lu Ming looked at the man, then looked at the silent girl who had bought most of the skewers of meat, and felt that this world was finally crazy.
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Tang Tang, and the old man over there is Meng Wanqiu. We can be in the same unit, the Silent Killing Field Response Bureau. Just imagine it as National Security or Dragon Team." said the girl.
"If I'm not mistaken, you should have already obtained the qualification for the killing field and drawn the initial ability, right?" The man bit his finger and touched his chest and said.
Lu Ming nodded: "If you are talking about that transparent panel, there is indeed information about the Silent Killing Field on it."
"Since you have obtained the qualifications, you have the right to know the truth behind this prosperity." The girl said seriously as she looked at the people coming and going.
Lu Ming looked over and said, "Although I don't want to say it, but judging from your looks, the situation must be quite serious, right? Should we talk about it here?"
"What's the big deal? I've set up the wind singing function. No one will hear it. Besides, we live in a different society now. Even if someone hears it, they will probably think it's a play or a script-based killing!" The man waved his hand, and a wisp of wind flowed through his fingertips. "You need to listen carefully. The following information is related to your survival in the next scene," Tang Tang said seriously. "The Silent Killing Field is a complete mystery to us. We don't know when it will come, and we don't know what it hides. According to our speculation and verification, it is likely to have come 1,200 years ago and 500 years ago."
"He will grant the people at that time the qualification to participate in the war. When night falls, they will fight each other and issue missions. As for His purpose, it is currently unknown."
"People like you and me who are qualified to go to the killing field are called participants. Participants are roughly divided into the mysterious side and the technological side, and they all possess unique powers. If I'm not mistaken, you should belong to the mysterious side of the summoning system, summoning heroic spirits. This kind of ability is not common in our country, but more in the West. They have established an organization called Valhalla, which has gathered most of the heroic spirit summoners." Tang Tang glanced at Gu Qingyuan and said.
Gu Qingyuan had skipped the inefficient communication method of talking and directly extracted the memories of Tang Tang and the other person.
Twelve years ago, the first participant in this world appeared in the West and spread across the globe even faster. However, all the countries where the participants were located established a policy of blocking the news, so the world remained calm.
Participants are divided into E, D, C, B, A, and S according to their levels. When a participant reaches Level A, he has sublimated his power and is called a disaster level.
The Silent Killing Field builds a scene and releases dark plane creatures. Participants who die in the scene will only be expelled from the scene, but if they are killed by dark plane creatures, their existence will be wiped out.
According to the response bureau's analysis, creatures from the dark plane are disasters and the embodiment of catastrophes. If they are not eliminated on the battlefield, the surviving dark creatures will reveal their nature as disasters.
Three years ago, the West used some means to release an A-level disaster in a desert, and then a raging fire burned the entire desert to ashes. If it weren't for several natural disaster-level participants, the fire would have broken through the designed firebreak and burned towards the densely populated city.
This is not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing is that there were disaster-level participants who once observed traces of S-level dark creatures, but they had never appeared in the Silent Killing Field, and in the entire world, there has not been a single S-level appearance.
"According to our observations and speculation on existing history, the Silent Killing Field is a place that pulls out hidden, impending disasters for the participants to deal with. The current mainstream speculation is that the Killing Field's position should be on the side of humans." After explaining, Meng Wanqiu made a concluding speech.
"Living history?" Lu Ming noticed this word.
Meng Wanqiu nodded solemnly: "Yes, in the existing history, there are several breakpoints in human history that were forcibly erased. The traces of their existence, customs, and humanities are completely untraceable in the existing classics. Above and below the historical breakpoints, there is a completely fragmented existence."
"We speculate that the disaster was not just physical, but also involved a mysterious aspect. The participants at the time were incapable of coping, which led to the S-level disaster that wiped out their existence along with history."
Lu Ming opened his eyes. He already knew the news about the S-level dark creatures, but he had no idea what to do. He was still working the night shift yesterday, but who would have thought that he would have to consider the survival of mankind today.
Meng Wanqiu seemed to have realized something: "Don't worry, with the means of the current participants, even if they can't kill the S-class, there are ways to restrain it. Besides, if the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. It's not your turn as a rookie who just entered the killing field to worry."
Lu Ming smiled and felt that he was worrying too much.
Tang Tang took over the conversation seriously: "Since you already know something, we would like to ask a question."
"Do you want to join the response bureau?"
