The meaning of the invitation letter translated into common text is as follows
2567
Glad that you can understand this invitation letter, it proves that you are not just a fake guy.
Go to Lankenbelle Street 13, there is a test waiting for you there.
If you pass, you will become my assistant, and I will pay you a corresponding, fairly generous reward. If you fail to pass... you will leave with regret.
Remember, you are not the only person I invited to be my assistant.
You have many competitors.
Psychic: Nicole
e.9.22
"Test? Competitor?"
"Inform all in advance, let competitors be wary of each other!"
"Are you nervous before you start?"
Kieran guessed the intention of the 'psychic' Nichelle.
Obviously, the so-called 'test' started when he saw the invitation letter.
Qin Ran glanced at the main task [Serving as a psychic's assistant for three months], and couldn't help shrugging.
The situation in front of him is clear at a glance. If he can't even become the assistant of the 'psychic' Nichelle, let alone be an assistant for three months.
The main task is naturally a failure.
And this test, based on the difficulty of the second dungeon, shouldn't be difficult.
For this reason, Qin Ran is glad that the difficulty setting of the special dungeon is "the number of clearances when the player obtains the special dungeon" instead of "the current difficulty when the player obtains the special dungeon"!
If it's the latter, Qin Ran guessed that the main quests might be changed.
It's definitely not the so-called [serving as a psychic's assistant for three months], but a more specific and designated event related to the 'psychic' Nichelle.
The difficulty naturally increases in a straight line.
However, even if the task in front of him is not difficult, Kieran will not be careless.
Qin Ran had heard enough stories about boat capsized in the gutter.
He definitely doesn't want to be the protagonist in the story himself.
What's more, Kieran will never be satisfied with just completing the main mission.
call!
Taking a deep breath, Kieran began to look at the two-story building in front of him and the surrounding environment.
The first thing that catches the eye are the two airtight gates made of a whole sheet of iron.
The original black paint on the gate was already mottled after the baptism of time and wind and rain.
After the vermilion rust intertwined with the remaining black paint. It was like a pool of coagulated blood clots, making anyone who saw it subconsciously turn their eyes away.
On the door owner on the right side of the gate hangs the same rusty doorplate.
13 Lankenbury Street!
The blurry but still readable handwriting told Qin Ran that this was the place where he was going to accept the 'test'.
However, Qin Ran did not enter immediately.
Previous copy experience told him. Every time you enter the starting position of the dungeon world, there will be some items or people that can help the player.
Perhaps such help will disappear as the number of dungeons increases and the difficulty changes.
But under the premise of the difficulty of the second copy, it must exist.
However, No. 13 Lankenbelle Street in front of me is definitely not a "test" place.
So…
Qin Ran looked into the distance.
On the other side of the street, a notice board appeared in Kieran's sight.
Qin Ran walked towards the bulletin board.
The bulletin board in front of him was not much different from the ones Kieran knew.
Remove from electronic to paper.
"No. 13 Lankenbelle Street full of accidents!" "
13 Lankenbelle Street, Doomed! "
The Haunted 13 Lankenbelle Street! "
"The 'Bold Ones' Scared Away!" "
"careful! The ghost of 13 Lankenbelle Street is starting to eat people! "
…
The bulletin board is covered with information about Lankenbelle Street 13. They are all cut from newspapers.
There are five reports in total.
According to the date, the earliest is e.7.12, and the latest is e.8.21.
Among the five reports, the first two are that the owner of the house became extremely unlucky and had various accidents as soon as he moved into No. 13 Lankenbelle Street.
Starting from the third article, special events appeared.
The fourth was a report of a man who didn't believe in ghosts who deliberately moved into 13 Lankenbelle Street, only to be scared away after only one day.
And there was a murder case in the fifth report!
A drunk must have strayed into No. 13 Lankenbelle Street by mistake, and was found hanged on the iron gate the next day.
Qin Ran focused on the fifth report which was completely different from the other four reports.
It is a pity that, except for the fact that the drunk was hanged at the gate of No. 13 Lankenberg Street, there are all kinds of speculations throughout the article, without any direct and substantive evidence.
"Resolve the incident in front of you. As a test?"
Qin Ran narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at the two-story building.
Under the sun, No. 13 Lankenbelle Street, which is shaded by trees, looks very quiet. If it weren't for the door that people don't want to look at to spoil the overall atmosphere, it would definitely be a pretty good place to go under the scorching sun.
"etc!"
"door?!"
Qin Ran turned around abruptly, and looked at the fifth report again. After reading it from beginning to end, Qin Ran quickly walked towards the gate of No. 13 Lankenbelle Street.
After a while, Qin Ran frowned after observing carefully.
He found something interesting.
However, there is one thing. It still needs to be confirmed.
Without delay, Qin Ran quickly left Lankenbelle Street.
…
At night, Kieran returned to No. 13 Lankenbelle Street again.
The street that seemed quiet at noon was completely shrouded in darkness at this time. All the surrounding street lights seem to have lost their function.
Moreover, unlike before he left.
At this time, the iron gate of No. 13 Lankenbelle Street had been opened, and Kieran who was standing outside could clearly see the lights in the room through the window.
Not electric lights, but candles.
In the dark. A little bit of candlelight, not only does not bring people the sense of light they deserve, but on the contrary, it makes the surroundings look darker.
Especially with the beating of the candlelight, when the light became flickering, the trees twisted and changed under the impression, just like demons and ghosts baring their teeth and claws.
The trees that bring people a sense of coolness and comfort at noon can only make people feel fear and chills at this time.
However, Kieran simply ignored these.
He walked through the gate and the gravel corridor in front of it, stepped up the steps, and knocked on the door in front of him.
Boom, boom, boom!
The very rhythmic knock on the door came from far away in the night.
The next moment, the sound of slightly heavy footsteps appeared in Kieran's ears.
Squeak!
Amidst the friction sound of the door hinge and frame that made people feel toothache, the door slowly opened.
A face, under the candlelight, looming.
