Everyone's personality follows a pattern, which is determined by their specialists based on the Night King's actions; at least for now, that's the case.

If something unexpected really happens...

Anyway, it's not me who will die in the end.

on the other hand--

"Xiao Yi, the report says there's a battle involving the Night King here. Should we really go check it out?"

Tang Yang asked with some concern, "Night King, that's at least an S-rank ghoul. Let alone in the modified world, even in a normal world, we can't beat an S-rank."

Xiao Yi shook his head and said, "Let alone that level, we are no match for ordinary ghouls. In fact, the result is the same. The higher-ups would never give us a mission that would mean certain death. This time, it seems very dangerous, but in reality, it is very safe."

The silent man, Luo Chen, spoke up: "You mean, this is a trial or test for the investigators?"

Xiao Yi nodded. "That's right. Missions of this difficulty are not easy to complete. If we don't do well this time, even if we can retain our status as investigators, we can forget about receiving any more missions. In other words, we will definitely be ignored."

"Let's go see what kind of person the Night King is."

It's truly something to look forward to to see what kind of demeanor a powerful figure, treated with such care by the investigators, will possess.

Thinking of this, the three of them suddenly brightened up. No matter how heavy their hearts were, for those who had the desire to become stronger, looking up at the strong would be exciting.

Perhaps that's what their future will look like.

Xiao Yi said, "After this, I guess the higher-ups will provide more detailed information. At the very least, we'll be able to see the Night King's portrait."

Tang Yang snorted smugly, "I really want to see what kind of expression that lunatic will have after we complete the mission."

The "lunatic" refers to Li Wei. Tang Yang knew that their mission was extremely rare. In the cycle of reincarnation, missions represented points, especially in the novice world, where they also represented an assessment of potential, making them particularly important.

Tang Yang felt a surge of secret pleasure at the thought of Li Wei lamenting his inability to discover more missions and being forced to wander around aimlessly.

Although Tang Yang's thinking was not wrong, Li Wei did indeed wander around for a few days, leaving his white marks in many girls' homes, making many girls want to see him again for a long time afterward, to tell him about the mistakes he made in his youth.

Yes, that's right.

This refers to the scratches he made on other people's houses with his fingernails—a "Viagra was here" mark that made girls grit their teeth in anger.

We kindly took you in, and you come here to damage other people's furniture!

That's outrageous.

He'd rather just come and cause me trouble...

On the other hand, Li Wei's side—

After unleashing the Six-Style Ultimate Technique: Six Kings Spear, and with Li Wei defeating them one by one, only three mutants remain, including the humanoid leader.

"Lanjiao·Chaos!"

Under the fierce wind blades, the wolf-like mutant opposite Li Wei was like a small boat adrift in a storm, quickly becoming broken and tattered.

Just as the storm kick was almost finished, another mutant disappeared.

"Six-Style Shaving!"

In a flash, Li Wei arrived in front of another mutant.

Under Li Wei's various area-of-effect attacks, even the strongest of the remaining S-class mutants suffered severe injuries.

"Storm Kick - Slash!"

This is Li Wei's close-range application of the Tempest Kick, which is much more powerful than when used at long range. Li Wei used this move to kill Jason before.

Even with the mutant already crippled, a single Tempest Kick slash was enough to kill and eliminate it.

“Now, only you are left,” Li Wei said. Although his expression seemed quite natural, he knew that his physical condition was already very bad.

His body's cells were already showing signs of collapse, and if he didn't finish the job quickly, things would get very complicated.

As for how troublesome it would be, he couldn't say for sure.

This could lead to such serious consequences that the cells in his entire body would die at a rate of one hundred million per minute.

It looks terrifying, doesn't it?

……

"What an intense battle!" When Tang Yang and his two companions arrived, they could hear the intense sounds of battle from a distance of about 100 meters.

Fortunately, the location was relatively remote, and the investigators had already evacuated the crowd, so no other incidents occurred that harmed innocent people.

"Do we really have to go there?"

As they got closer, Tang Yang truly felt the terror of a ghoul classified as S-rank or higher in this modified world.

No, it might be more than just S-class now.

He could even see the cracks in the wall beneath their feet!

"King of the Night, King of the Night, King of the Night!"

Luo Chen sighed sadly. He was recruited by his senior and praised as an outstanding newcomer second only to the special admissions students, but compared to these characters in the story, he was still too weak.

"Potential is just potential; only when it is transformed into power can it become one's own strength."

At this moment, Luo Chen secretly resolved to become a strong person, rather than a freshman with great potential in the eyes of his seniors.

"One day, I will trample those specially admitted students under my feet and become the strongest newcomer."

P.S.: I thought it wouldn't be fixed until the weekend, but the person who finished was actually quite efficient 23333

Chapter Twenty-Two: Being a seasoned driver is a source of pride.

"Luo Chen, don't overthink it. The characters in the story are different from us. Their strength is understandable."

Xiao Yi could tell what Luo Chen was thinking just by looking at his expression. In fact, the group of friends were close friends before they were in the cycle of reincarnation.

Friends who can get along well are basically birds of a feather. How could a magician hang out with a popular person?

Even if he may not be as good as you in some aspects, he must have his own strengths in other areas.

For example, his good grades are an advantage, and your experience as a driver is something to brag about.

Xiao Yi and his group proved these predictions true. All of them were outstanding individuals with great potential, and as a result, they were all noticed by their senior. After some discussion and deliberation, they decided to enter the reincarnation world.

"That's right, Chen, you don't need to dwell on it too much. As long as we persevere, we will become even stronger than the Night King!"

Tang Yang's eyes flashed as he said, "Their potential is the most outstanding among this group, apart from the specially admitted students."

It's almost certain that if they can grow up safely, they will surpass the strongest force in Tokyo Ghoul, even if this is a modified version of the world.

Then he added, "Didn't you unlock the first gene lock? The seniors said that most people can only do it after experiencing more than five reincarnation worlds. You unlocked the gene lock in the novice world, which is quite remarkable."

Xiao Yi chuckled and said, "That's right, now even ordinary ghouls are no match for you, are they?"

Luo Chen remained silent for a while, then nodded without speaking, but both of them saw a renewed confidence in his eyes.

Xiao Yi smiled but didn't say anything. In fact, not only Luo Chen, but he himself had also activated his talent. His talent was logical analysis, which could enhance his logical rigor. If his reasoning ability was five before, it was at least seven now.

Talent is much harder to unlock than genetic locks. Even in the Reincarnation Academy, it's one in a hundred. While genetic locks are difficult to unlock, they are something that everyone can achieve.

"Let's go," Xiao Yi said.

Tang Yang and his companion nodded, but just as they were about to continue, an unexpected event occurred—

Suddenly, a deafening roar resounded, and the terrifying sound waves traveled for a kilometer, shattering some of the remaining glass nearby into pieces.

The three of them felt as if something had struck their ears, and even their entire brains and bodies, causing intense, tearing pain.

Forcing himself not to faint, in the center of the battle ahead, to the horrified gazes of the three, a colossal object, as tall as a skyscraper, suddenly appeared, seemingly about to pierce the sky and break through the heavens!

This gave the three a powerful shock, leaving a shadow in their hearts. It was the first time they had faced this level of terror.

Many powerful things can only be truly appreciated when you face them directly.

At this moment, all three of them wavered. Could they really become stronger than such a person in the end?

Or perhaps they can only console themselves by saying that it's just a fictional character and can't be compared to them.

Just as they were beginning to have their doubts, in another corner, the young investigator who had just given the report muttered, his face ashen, "The one-eyed... Owl..."

After a long while, when the sounds of battle ceased from the center of the fighting, Luo Chen and Xiao Yi exchanged a glance and asked, "Should we... still go over there?"

Xiao Yi hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Fortune favors the bold. Let's go check out the situation."

Tang Yang wanted to say something, but in the end he sighed and decided to remain silent.

When the three of them stepped forward and saw the devastation all over the ground, they were somewhat numb.

Xiao Yi observed the traces of the fight, the cracks several meters wide, and the pits, his eyes flashing as he analyzed something.

In fact, as soon as they arrived at the scene, they received a notification that the mission was completed, and soon after, their superiors gave them orders to continue the investigation, and they also received the corresponding tasks.

"How is it, Xiao Yi?" Tang Yang asked in a deep voice, his previous joy now turning into gloom.

Seeing this scene brought back memories of the ten days of life-or-death escape, making him feel suffocated.

Yes, this is the world of reincarnation, this is a terrifyingly modified version. Even if you complete the main quest and the hidden quests, it's not that simple.

Or rather, compared to the main storyline, it is even more thrilling, more dangerous, and more... a matter of life and death.

Xiao Yi smiled wryly and said, "I think I finally understand why that person is called the Night King, the Emperor of the Night. That title is indeed correct. He truly deserves to be called an emperor."

“An emperor…” Luo Chen murmured.

Xiao Yi seemed to understand what they were thinking and said firmly, "Let's give it our all! The seniors said that the beginner world is one of the most important mission worlds. Only here can we have a higher starting point than others!"

"For this, even losing twenty years of my life would be worthwhile!"

The other two nodded. Twenty years of life in exchange for a stronger starting foundation was worth it.

They were aware of the domino effect; one wrong step could lead to many more. It was better to pay a price now for a brighter future.

"Let's go," Xiao Yi said.

Tang Yang clenched his fists, "Night King, Night King!"

Having witnessed the Night King's power tonight, this codename has become firmly ingrained in his mind.

Three days later——

"Are they still unwilling to give us a picture of the Night King?" Luo Chen asked.

"I don't know what those investigators were thinking. We don't even know what the Night King looks like, how are we supposed to investigate?"

Xiao Yi shook his head. "The intelligence that just came out is that they discovered the Night King entered a coffee shop called Antiques, and they want us to go in and make contact with the target."

"This is a bugging device."

After saying that, Xiao Yi handed one of the two a button-sized device to each of them.

"Actually, it's not that the higher-ups didn't tell us what we looked like. They were probably afraid that the other side would notice something and make us their first contacts. After all... Night King, I always felt that the person wasn't so simple. If we approached the other side with the assumption that we knew all about them, we might be quickly exposed."

"so?"

"Our task now is to get into the antique shop as much as possible and chat up with the regulars. That's all."

"So simple?"

Tang Yang was stunned; he had been prepared to die that night.

“This is just one part of the process,” Xiao Yi shook his head. “The dangerous missions are yet to come. To be honest, for our strength, coming to this world is too early. If the system still issues dangerous missions, then it’s not assessing our potential, but trying to kill us.”

"The main storyline is already a bit too much, but the points reward is also extremely high. I'm sure that even if we don't do any of the other tasks, our final freshman ranking will still be very high."

Xiao Yi's eyes flashed, and he said, "Let's go, let's go and see who this Night King really is."

Investigation Headquarters —

Kotaro asked hesitantly, "Senior, is it really a good idea to entrust the task of contacting the Night King to them? You know, the Night King... we've never seen such a unique ghoul before."

"What? You still don't believe he's a ghoul, but think he's human?" Mado Kureo, with his gray hair and hunched back, said calmly.

Kotaro hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "I've been monitoring him for so long, and I haven't seen him eat. On the contrary... based on my observations, he can get energy from human food, otherwise he would have starved to death long ago."

Mado Kureo stared at Amon Kotaro for a long time without saying a word, then said, "So, as a human being, do you think this test report is normal?"

As he spoke, Mado Kureo took out Li Wei's report from before and waved it in front of Amon.
