Did they fail to find Theresa? Now that I think about it, I seem to have accidentally revealed to W the purpose of this trip... Perhaps this was the reason they would come to the Lobotomy Corporation for the interview.

Thoughts like these flooded Kal'tsit's mind, and then she let out a sigh.

And that deep-sea hunter...

For a moment, Kel'tsit looked back at Laurentina. She was still a little confused as to why this deep-sea hunter had come for the interview.

The only thing that is certain is that everyone has their own purpose for this interview.

—"Attention all those who have been chosen, and be ready. We are about to depart for the suburbs."

"Please don't be discouraged if you are unsuccessful. Lobotomy will hold a second round of interviews in the future, and you will still have a chance then."

At the center, X announced this calmly, and amidst the murmurs of discontent, the indifferent crowd gradually dispersed. Perhaps one day, they would be grateful that they had not been chosen today...

But some of those who have been selected cannot escape.

"follow me."

Glancing down at the hundred people, X spoke calmly as he and Hill walked toward a nearby car. Then, the hundred people boarded the convoy and began to drive toward the edge of the city.

Soon, the convoy arrived at the suburbs and slowly stopped amid the roar of engines.

When people got out of the car, they saw the security guards of K Company around them. They were holding weapons dipped in disintegrating ampoules in their hands, forming a cordon, as if they were in a designated area... People looked at each other, wondering what the hell the Brain Lobe Corporation was doing.

"Everyone, as you can see, what appears before your eyes is the content of this re-examination."

X got out of the car and said loudly to the people:

"What you need to do is simple. Survive within the designated area for three days, using any means possible. This area is dotted with monsters and traps. If you wish to leave, you can do so at any time. However, you will also lose the opportunity to join Lobotomy Corporation forever."

"You can form teams. However, no more than three people can form a team. If more than three people are formed, the entire team will be disqualified. At the end of the three days, everyone will be evaluated based on their performance. Ultimately, Lobotomy Corporation will recruit 25 employees."

X's voice remained calm until this point, but then suddenly there was a rise and fall:

"Anyway...everyone, struggle to survive in this corner."

“May you find what you desire here.”

After saying this, X turned around and got back into the car. Down below, people looked toward the vast, unknown area behind them, and some seemed to swallow.

Certain manifestations…what else could it be?

The ability to survive, the ability to fight, the ability to adapt... After all, isn't an interview a place to test one's abilities?

If there are monsters, then isn't killing them a bonus?

Looking at the adventurers around them, whose eyes also gleamed with greed, they finally took the first step without hesitation.

Then the crowd went crazy.

Theresa felt the greed of the vast majority of the crowd, and she just sighed. Then, she and Kal'tsit slowly walked forward.

The convoy drove away and no one cared; people rushed towards the vast suburbs, looking for life on this land.

Theresa watched all this, but she couldn't help but look up, and her heart fell into deep thought for a moment.

What kind of performance do they, the Lobotomy Corporation, and even the CEO, value?

Just as Theresa was lost in thought and leaving, X, who was sitting in the car, smiled.

"Ha... Arrogant and naive."

"You know, the abnormalities in the city aren't that easy to deal with..."

With a smile on his face, X murmured softly to himself, his gaze once again directed towards the land filled with Abnormalities.

........................

It's no surprise that Theresa and Kal'tsit formed a team.

After the team was formed, the two began to stroll in the suburbs. With their strength, they could not roam freely in the area selected by Lin Yi, but at least there would be no safety issues.

"If we want to survive for three days, we need to find a place to stay as soon as possible. We should still have food and water."

Kal'tsit analyzed it this way, but Theresa's attention was distracted from time to time, and she seemed to be still thinking about the rules.

Seeing this, Kal'tsit could only sigh and walk forward on her own.

As they walked, time passed little by little. When it was noon, Kal'tsit suddenly heard a sharp scream coming from not far away.

Then, from a distance, a man came crawling over. His body was covered in blood, and his expression was frantic and terrified... Theresa came to her senses and exchanged glances with Kel'tsit.

"The emotion in this person... is only fear."

Theresa spoke in a low voice. Kelsey nodded and identified the direction Pello had left. She was now quite certain that Pello was heading towards the interview area.

"His emotions...seem to include a strong desire to survive?"

Watching Pero gradually recede, Theresa pondered for a moment before finally speaking. Kel'tsit slowly exhaled.

"Based on the current situation, we can confirm a few things. There's a high probability that there are monsters ahead, and they're likely to have strong killing power."

"Your Highness, do you need to go and see?"

Kel'tsit raised her head, looked at Theresa, and asked. Theresa hesitated for a moment. As Pero disappeared from her sight, she seemed to vaguely see several people from K Company taking the guy away with peaceful smiles, as if they were congratulating him...

Maybe it's an illusion.

Theresa thought about it, then nodded vigorously.

"Go! Go and see!"

........................

"..."

At the same time, where Pero came from, Laurentina was looking at everything in front of her with an ugly expression.

In front of her were countless flowers that were faintly glowing... white, glowing, and looking beautiful.

However, Laurentina knew in her heart that this was not the case.

This is just a mimic of the monster.

She was surrounded by countless flowers. And she knew that among these countless flowers, there was a mimic flower. If she touched it, a monster would jump out of the ground and bite it with exaggerated destructive power...

And this monster is called terrestrial anglerfish.

Chapter 78: Went to the hospital, took a leave for one chapter, one chapter has been updated

I went to the hospital in the afternoon and came back at night feeling very sleepy. My thinking was not good and I got stuck... I just wrote one chapter and continued to write. It felt like I was writing in a half-asleep state. After thinking about it carefully, I decided to give up and wait until tomorrow daytime to add some extra chapters.

I owe one more update for the bounty, and the current deadline is 1/12. Please be informed.

I will update it soon. I will update it on the afternoon of February 2th.

Chapter 79: 76 Hai: Why not go to the big lake?

"Land anglerfish... so without the Anti-Kabbalah Inhibitor, would it develop into this state?"

At the same time, in the cabin, Lin Yi's consciousness permeated the entire interview venue, and for a moment, he uttered such an emotional voice.

He had never thought that if there were no Anti-Kabbalah Inhibitor, the terrestrial anglerfish could actually form such a sea of flowers and hide in it... Once in, it would be extremely difficult to get out again.

After all, no one knows if they will suddenly step on a terrestrial anglerfish next. And if they do, they will face an eternal hell from which there is no escape.

Laurentina seems to be in such a situation.

"However, reinforcements are arriving soon...there shouldn't be any major problems here. Let's have Hai remain on standby."

Looking at the situation at the interview venue, Lin Yi withdrew his consciousness and projected it to another corner.

In truth, even Lin Yi himself wasn't fully aware of the various Abnormalities involved in this interview. He was certain that only A-level Abnormalities weren't present.

Currently, very few A-level anomalies have been discovered in the explored areas, and even their traces have only been found once... Lin Yi suspects that the vast majority of A-level anomalies will not refresh automatically, and Lin Yi needs to actively salvage them through wells.

As for the scope of this interview venue...

It connects the Great Lake in the north to the city in the south. It's that simple. If you're unlucky, it's possible that the interviewee might encounter a monster from the Great Lake. However, Lin Yi was confident that he was well prepared.

Hai was already on standby at the interview venue. Meanwhile, Lin Yi had already contacted Don Quixote. He could enter from the city at any time and quickly reach the interview venue to join the battle. The entire process took less than three minutes.

As for the purpose of this interview... the first was, of course, to add some "specific" personnel to Lobotomy. As for the second, Lin Yi had some plans of his own.

"Okay..."

Then he murmured softly:

"Now, show me the possibilities you hold."

........................

At the same time, Laurentina was among the flowers. She tentatively pointed out her finger, but then involuntarily retracted it with a "tsk" sound.

I don’t know which flower is the monster…

She had just witnessed a person being devoured by a monster in the flowers. Because of this, Laurentina was hesitant to act rashly.

That biting ability... Even with the physical level of a deep-sea hunter, once bitten, although it would not cause hemiplegia, it would probably lose the ability to move for a while.

Is there any way to break the deadlock...

Personality card? No, I won't be using that for now.

For a moment, Laurentina felt a headache. If she had known this earlier, she shouldn't have agreed to the conditions of the guy who called himself Hai and come to the interview at the Brain Corp...

No, there's no other way. If I don't agree, I might not be able to see Skadi.

After organizing her thoughts, Laurentina sighed softly, not knowing what to do for a moment.

But at this moment, her eyes suddenly caught sight of two people walking in the distance... Her pupils widened slightly as she looked at Theresa and Kel'tsit, who were walking quickly towards her. She couldn't help but open her arms and shouted loudly:

"Hey! Here! Can you help me?"

Theresa looked out at Laurentina and the sea of flowers surrounding her, and was stunned for a moment.

"what happens?"

"Tsk...something went wrong, and I'm trapped by these flowers...don't just come in! One of the flowers is a monster's mimic. If you touch it, it will jump out of the ground. I don't want to get covered in blood."

Laurentina said this, and then, seeing Theresa approaching and seeming to want to touch the flowers, she quickly warned her.

Theresa withdrew her hand and noticed that Laurentina was very careful not to touch any flowers with every move, as if she was afraid of bumping into something.

"...I understand. What do you need us to do?"

"...Do you have any weapons? Help me cut down all the flowers in front of me. It shouldn't be difficult for me to get out."

Laurentina pondered for a moment, then replied. Theresa nodded and looked at Kel'tsit behind her.

Kal'tsit paused, but then a helpless look appeared on her face.

"Mon3tr!"

With a roar, the monster was summoned, its sharp claws slashing down the flowers one by one as it slowly approached Laurentina. Just as it was halfway there, sparks suddenly ignited from the ground, and the flower suddenly surged upward. Then, its maw closed, engulfing Mon3tr. In an instant, Mon3tr began to disintegrate, stunning the terrestrial anglerfish with its explosion. Laurentina, her concerns resolved, almost without hesitation rushed forward and applied her personality card.

Time is running out! It's too much trouble to pick up the weapon at my feet... At times like this, my personality really comes in handy!

Then, Laurentina's Ring Finger personality appeared, and the spear in her hand pierced the terrestrial anglerfish and fixed it to the ground. Then, blood spots fell on the body of the terrestrial anglerfish, and she fired several shots in succession, knocking down the exposed terrestrial anglerfish.

After just a few seconds, the terrestrial anglerfish turned into a round and smooth egg.

"..."

Feeling the exaggerated bite force of the terrestrial anglerfish, Kal'tsit remained silent. Her eyes were fixed on the smooth egg, and for a moment she couldn't understand how the monster had become such a being.

"Thank you... How can I help you? I'm in a hurry and need to continue on my journey..."

Laurentina walked out of the sea of flowers and removed her personality card, saying this, but before she finished her words, her expression suddenly became nervous.

Even Theresa was stunned. She sensed someone approaching... but this person's emotions were very similar to Hill's from before. Chaotic, disorganized, with no trace of the emotional thread at all...

"Very good, everyone. Congratulations on defeating your first Abnormality."

"It should be the first Abnormality defeated in the entire interview venue."

Then, Hai's figure slowly appeared from the distance. When he approached the three people, he spoke so calmly.

"Ha... you again..."

Laurentina's expression darkened. But Hai didn't look at her. Theresa watched the scene, but remained silent.

Something must have happened between the two of them.

"But since this is our first time defeating them, there should be some kind of reward, right? For example, an increase in the final score for this interview?"

Laurentina forced a smile and asked. But Hai seemed to have heard something incomprehensible, and just turned his head away in confusion and said:
