"Increase in scores? No, ma'am, you misunderstood. The outcome of this interview was never determined by the results of your battle."
Not the result of the battle?
Several people felt a little surprised almost at the same time.
If it’s not victory in battle or personal strength… then what is this interview really about?
"Without further ado, my mission is to retrieve this terrestrial anglerfish... That's the mission they hired me for. See you later, friends."
Hai said this, picked up the egg, and seemed ready to leave. But Laurentina frowned in dissatisfaction:
"So... we helped you recycle it, and you didn't even get any compensation?"
"...If you really want, I can point you in a direction."
"explain."
"Go north. Go around the big lake over there. You might have better hope there."
Chapter 80:77 Arriving at the Great Lake, What is the Dream-Eating Turbid Current?
The sea left quickly.
After showing Theresa and the others the path to the lake, he left the scene with the terrestrial anglerfish egg in his arms. Lin Yi was quite satisfied with this.
After all, this way, Lobotomy Corporation will have another entity that can produce energy... Then, with the arrival of new employees, energy production will be much higher.
As for Laurentina and the others... Lin Yi thought, maybe they were satisfied too.
However, this kind of thing has nothing to do with him.
After Hai left, Theresa glanced at Laurentina, who seemed still somewhat dissatisfied but helpless. She felt the emotion in her heart and felt a little curious for a moment.
"Excuse me... What is your relationship with that person just now?"
"...It was just a fight. I'm here for the interview thanks to him."
Laurentina sighed softly, her face slightly dissatisfied. Theresa nodded in understanding.
Laurentina couldn't help but think about what happened on the eve of the interview...
That day, she received a message from Skadi, which was undoubtedly a huge temptation for Laurentina, who was also looking for a deep-sea hunter companion.
So, Laurentina tried to find Skadi that night... She originally just planned to meet with Skadi first, but unexpectedly, a Cheng Yaojin suddenly appeared in the middle of the night.
Laurentina had barely stepped foot inside Lobotomy when she was mistaken for a thief. Then, Hai suddenly appeared, like a divine descendant from the sky.
Hai almost insisted that Laurentina had bad intentions. After the two of them fought, Laurentina discovered something depressing -
——Something's not right. I can't seem to beat this guy?!
In reality, Laurentina had been so focused on infrastructure construction during that time that she had barely even seen the city's interior. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been so unaware of Hai. Given the situation at the time, Laurentina realized Hai most likely wouldn't let her through.
So, Laurentina had no choice but to retreat temporarily. The next morning, she went to find the Master and asked him about Skadi.
The Master briefly considered this, then asked Laurentina how much longer she could wait. He explained that he had other things to attend to and wouldn't be able to handle the matter for a while. But if Laurentina wasn't willing to wait, he did have a quicker solution...
Because of this contrast, Laurentina didn't immediately ask what the Master was busy with. Therefore, Laurentina inquired about the quick method.
The answer given by the ruler Lin Yi is also quite simple:
"Lobotomy Corporation will be having an interview soon, so you should go over and take a look. After you pass the interview, you can directly join Lobotomy Corporation, and there's a high probability that you'll be working alongside Skadi. The arrangements after that will be up to you two."
So, just like that, Laurentina came to the interview at the Lobotomy Company.
The rest of the story was pretty straightforward. After entering the retest, becoming a lone wolf, and then suddenly encountering this terrestrial anglerfish, and then being rescued by Theresa and the others, I met that guy Hai again...
Laurentina recalled her own experience in her mind and couldn't help but sigh slightly.
"What are you going to do next?"
Theresa said, turning her head to look at Laurentina beside her and asked. Laurentina answered without hesitation:
"There's nothing I can do but trust that fellow for once. I'm going to start off right away, heading north, towards the Great Lake."
Theresa and Kel'tsit exchanged glances, as if confirming each other's thoughts. Finally, Theresa nodded solemnly.
"Well... we don't have any destination. So, we're heading towards the lake. Do you mind?"
Laurentina waved her hand, meaning it was casual.
Theresa breathed a sigh of relief. Even now, she was still thinking about what Hai had said before he left.
What will determine the outcome of this interview...if it's not victory in the battle, then what will it be?
Theresa looked up, thinking this in her heart. She almost instinctively felt that when this interview reached its end, she would figure this out.
So, the group headed towards the lake. In the middle of the road, a broadcast temporarily interrupted their progress.
It was a broadcast about the admission notice.
Theresa was surprised to find that Pello, who had previously fled like a madman, had now been selected and joined the Brain Corporation. This left her feeling puzzled.
Joining the company before the interview seems to be a bit against the rules, but it is not unacceptable... But the question is, why is he the one who joined the company early?
What are his characteristics? What is it about him that makes the top executives of Lobotomy Corporation take a fancy to him?
Theresa instinctively felt that the person possessed certain qualities that should be the real criteria for this interview at Lobotomy Corporation.
After forming this thought in her mind, Theresa continued on her way, heading towards the lake.
And so, the day passed slowly. At noon on the second day of the retest, they finally arrived at the shoreline of the lake. Gazing at the azure sea, several people were momentarily lost in thought.
There shouldn't be any monsters here...
Looking at the seemingly beautiful sunny beach, these thoughts came into the minds of the three people.
"Wait... look over there, in the sea, is there a light?"
Suddenly, Laurentina's sharp eyesight, unique to deep-sea hunters, seemed to catch something. She frowned, her pupils constricting slightly, and pointed at something in the sea, whispering.
Theresa and Kel'tsit looked over there. They saw, beneath the deep sea, a shadowy mass rapidly swimming, slowly approaching... It emitted a faint fluorescent light, and through the shadows, they could vaguely see several pale green tubes sticking out of its back, like glow sticks...
"…It's approaching. Get out! Mon3tr!"
Kel'tsit suppressed the strange feeling in her heart, waved her hand, and spoke to the other two. At the same time, a huge monster appeared in front of Kel'tsit. Mon3tr completed its deployment.
And just in the next moment, the monster slowly emerged from the sea. Then, a whale without eyes, with its huge mouth open, appeared before their eyes.
The monster before him was WAW-level and named...
Dream-eating turbid current.
Chapter 81:78 Theresa: Will that be what I look like too?
"There's actually a monster like this here. I'm..."
Looking at the huge monster that suddenly appeared, Kal'tsit's pupils shrank, she gritted her teeth, and was about to give an order.
What a huge creature... Looking down from the surface I thought it wasn't that big. Now that I see it, it's probably around ten meters long...
Is this the Haisi type? I've never heard of this model.
"Wait a minute, Kelsey."
However, Theresa suddenly stopped Kel'tsit. For a moment, Kel'tsit turned around and looked at Theresa in confusion.
"I... can feel the emotions of this guy in front of me."
Theresa paused noticeably when she said this, as if she was amazed at the monster before her.
"...Can we communicate?"
"Probably. The emotion I read was anxiety. It must be searching for something."
"These monsters seem to have their own emotions."
Theresa said this with a solemn oath. Kel'tsit was silent for a while, and finally nodded.
"Then, Your Highness, I'll trouble you."
Theresa hummed softly and walked forward. She looked at the eyeless whale gradually rising from the sea surface, at the fluorescent stick on its body that seemed to be damaged, and walked forward, slowly approaching it.
Then, Theresa stood still, as if waiting for the eyeless whale to speak before her.
“…Please…help me…”
Then, the Dream Devouring Turbid Stream's maw opened and closed slightly, making this sound. The other two were startled for a moment.
This guy... can actually talk?
"What happened?"
Theresa spoke softly, with a power that could soothe others' emotions. She slowly squatted down and slowly touched the glue-like skin of Dream-Eating Turbid Flow with her hand.
But at the same time... she could also feel the terrifying power emanating from the monster in front of her.
It is definitely not on the same order of magnitude as the monster in the sea of flowers just now.
"The dream... was shattered."
"Someone came and took away the dreams from the bottom of the water, those dreams that were lost in the muddy current... So I went ashore, wanting to retrieve those dreams..."
"Is it this kind of glow stick?"
Theresa said, raising her head and looking at the glow sticks behind the Dream Devouring Turbid Stream.
"Yes……"
"Are these... just dreams?"
"No...it's the abandoned dreams. Dreams that had to be abandoned in the muddy current. I am responsible for gathering these dreams together and lighting a glimmer of light for them."
"What is the turbid current..."
Theresa muttered to herself, but then, when she saw the emotions of the Dream Devouring Turbid Stream, she fell silent for a moment.
She probably gets it.
"Is it...some irresistible factors?"
She whispered so softly, already having the answer in her mind.
It's reality.
For a moment, after realizing this, a terrifying thought flashed through Theresa's mind: Will her own dream also be abandoned in the muddy current like this, and eventually, only turn into the faint light of a fluorescent stick and sink to the bottom of the sea?
She shook her head, withdrawing her thoughts and not thinking about this problem for the time being. Then, she turned around and looked at the people behind her.
"What should I do? Should I help him...find these glow sticks?"
She asked the two people behind her. They looked at each other, seemed to be confused for a while, and finally nodded.
"Let's go, there's nothing else to do anyway."
Laurentina said this. Then, Theresa turned back and continued to soothe the Dream Devouring Turbid Stream:
"So... let us help you find these abandoned dreams?"
"So... do you know where those abandoned dreams are now? We will take you to find them."
The Dream-Eating Turbidity Stream seemed to be quiet for a while, and then a fluorescent stick behind it automatically fell off and was handed to Theresa.
"Dreams attract each other..."
"Take this glow stick, it will lead you to find those dreams that have also been abandoned..."
After saying these words, the Dream Devouring Turbid Stream turned and headed towards the other defensive lines along the coastline, as if hoping to find its abandoned dreams there. Theresa lowered her head, staring at the glow stick in her hand.
"Well, everyone, let's go together, shall we?"
She held the flash stick, raised her head, and said to everyone:
"How about we go together and finish this matter completely?"
........................
Lin Yi moved his consciousness back to the lake and immediately saw the performance of Theresa and Laurentina's groups.
However, when he saw the abnormality, he couldn't help but scratch his head.
"Dream-eating turbidity? Something that eats dreams?"
“This thing is here?”
Thinking of this abnormality, countless memories suddenly emerged in Lin Yi's mind... He pulled the corner of his mouth and reorganized his thoughts.
Fortunately, this guy should be relatively easy to contain... and the most important thing is that we can negotiate with him, which is pretty good from this point of view.
