The final gentleman

A few kilometers away from Green Lake Town is the hillside.

A group of 'gentlemen' in neat suits were using different methods to observe the situation in the small town.

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

This month's assessment seems to involve many famous families. Is it too harsh to be located in [Green Lake Town]... If the risk is too high, high-quality talents may be lost.

At this time,

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

“I would rather raise the screening threshold than put resources into weak people who can’t solve the crisis.

The city's population has almost reached its upper limit.

The supply of skin has begun to decline a few months ago. If this continues, it will be difficult for the organization to provide effective cultivation of gentlemen, and the internal balance will be disrupted.

If Mr. Siman is dissatisfied with this, he can put forward his opinions to the senior management.

The chubby teacher Siman quickly raised his hand to apologize.

Professor Chamberson, I am just making an objective evaluation and have no objection to your assessment site selection.

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

This is inevitable.

at this time,

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

With its dark clothing design, the fleshy balls rooted on the shoulders are more conspicuous.

Teacher Siman, it seems that this young man is not recorded in the assessment list? There does not seem to be obvious signs of his family or school on him.

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

Oh! It is indeed a strange face. This should be the temporary assessment candidate added today.

The recommender was Wilbert Astorga, the person in charge of the [Seven Days Cemetery]. The raven in the cemetery sent a special letter requesting to participate in this month's assessment.

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

Wilbert... this kid is quite lonely. He had almost no friends during his studies and kept to himself. In the end, he won the qualification to found a cemetery with his own strength and lived alone.

People like him actually recommend talents to the organization.

While the two were chatting,

Other gentlemen also noticed this lone young man, and he deliberately chose a hotel that didn't look right.

There is no skin decoration,

Just relying on ordinary people's senses, you have caught the anomalies in the small towns and actively approached the danger? This young man is interesting.

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

This young man from a cemetery piqued his interest.

…

【Green Shade Hotel】

Yi Chen held an aluminum sheet key with [ # 0206] engraved on it.

Aiming at the lock which is full of mottled scratches, the internal mechanism makes the sound of matching teeth.

Creak~the door opens.

The rhombus-patterned carpet covered the room, and the dust was tightly sealed under the pile of the carpet. The overall look was barely tidy.

Not a spacious room.

There is a 1.5-meter-wide wooden bed, and the dark bedding covers up the stains left by the previous tenant as much as possible.

The vertical glass windows were covered with newspapers with the title Green Lake Town printed on them, preventing sunlight from entering.

There is still a piece of clothing hanging on the wooden coat rack by the window, as if the previous guest left in a hurry and forgot to take it with him...or rather, he didn't leave at all.

Tick~

There was a constant sound of dripping water coming from the bathroom on the right side of the door.

After inspection, it was found that only the shower head was leaking, and the entire bathroom was covered with water stains, making it damp and cold.

Huh... let's take a rest first.

Yi Chen didn't mind it and sat down on the edge of the soft bed.

I grabbed the Green Lake Town Flyer on my bedside table.

On it is a map of Green Lake Town.

The entire town is built around the lake in an inverted [L] shape.

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

There are also some benefits for foreign tourists written on the back of the flyer.

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

*The number of boat rides per day cannot exceed 1 time.

*This service will not be provided at night. If you receive a boat ride invitation at night, please refuse it as soon as possible and rush to the Security Bureau in the center of the town to report the situation.

2. Green Lake Town provides tourists with natural green water collected from deep lake springs every day, which can remove impurities from the body and improve physical fitness.

*Green Lake is the heart of the town. There is no waste. Once the green water is received, it must be drank.

*Staff who provide green water for free must wear green overalls. If you encounter others offering green water, please refuse.

3. Green Lake Town holds a bonfire party in the town every night, providing delicious local food for free.

*Anyone attending the party or passing by must wear a mask.

*During the party, if you see anyone not wearing a mask, please stay away immediately and report it to the Sheriff’s Department.

*The party will never, ever be held outside the town centre.

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

These things are somewhat similar to the employee handbook in the cemetery. They are all similar to [rules]... Once violated, it may bring dire consequences.

Are rules like this very common in this world?

Moreover, the 'rules' of the flyer only cover the surface of the town and are relatively broad.

Some details about the inside of the town were not mentioned, such as the hotel I am currently staying in...

at this time,

There was a squirming feeling in Yi Chen's body.

The furry black sphere crawled out along the cuff and landed firmly on the bed.

It opened its big mouth with white teeth and made a strange sound.

“[Rules] are set by you humans to reduce, avoid disease, and avoid danger.

Pathogens hidden in this world can spread through any channel and in any form.

It can also be embodied as some kind of entity and influence and invade individuals through some interactive behaviors.

If you can act according to certain rules, you can reduce the probability of illness to a certain extent and reduce the possibility of dangerous events.

It is only to reduce, not to completely eliminate,

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

That's probably it...

After all, my memory comes from Grave No. 6 in the cemetery, obtained by integrating brain fragments, and I don’t know much.

Who discovered these rules?

It should be some prophet among you humans, or some gentlemen with the ability to foresee, right? I'm not sure.

Well, these are all things for later, let's start investigating according to the hotel in front of us.

Try to identify the pathological problems that exist in the town.

When it comes to this,

Little Grape's eyes rolled to her teeth, and she said excitedly,

Well... I can feel that a more serious disease is happening in this hotel.

There must be a bigger threat lurking deep in this town... Maybe there are big grapes to eat~ You have to be careful, don't die.
