With the little girl's laughter, at the corner, three people walked out with helpless expressions. The one in the middle is Grace Quinn. She is wearing a black dress, with long hair flowing like a galaxy. Her slightly exposed calves are crystal clear, making people's imaginations wild. As the most perfect goddess in the hearts of all the boys in Ethan Lewis' class, Grace Quinn can give people a refreshing feeling with any outfit. Her every frown and smile constantly stirs the deepest palpitations in others' hearts.
On the right is a middle-aged man, not wearing a shirt on his upper body. His brass-colored skin and strong but not exaggerated muscles give a strong sense of power. Wherever he walks, it seems that even the ground is trembling slightly. There is no doubt that if he were to punch someone, that person would die.
And on the left is a boy who looks only seventeen or eighteen, wearing glasses and looking very gentle. However, the hint of coldness in the depths of his pupils spoils this feeling. He is like a cold and sinister snake, always ready to give others a fatal blow.
At this moment, the three people look helpless, especially Grace Quinn. She steps forward, grabs the little girl's ear, and says sternly, "Didn't I tell you not to scare Ethan Lewis like this? What if he gets scared badly?
"Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, Sister Quinn, I'm wrong, I'm wrong." The little girl exaggeratedly cries out, and then says aggrievedly, "But I didn't know he was so easily scared..."
The girl lets down her hair, revealing an innocent and childlike face. She looks at Grace Quinn with big, watery eyes. If it were someone else, their heart would have melted already.
"Well, you little rascal. Ethan Lewis just joined, and you scared him like this. If something goes wrong, you won't know how to explain." Grace Quinn obviously can't resist the girl's gaze either. She sighs and helplessly lets go.
"Hehe, I knew Sister Quinn is the best, muah!"
The girl giggles, then jumps up and kisses Grace Quinn on the cheek. Then she turns to look at the still stunned Ethan Lewis, wrinkling her small face and saying, "Sister Quinn, what's so special about him? Why did you personally invite him?"
Grace Quinn has the highest authority and the highest permission in their team. Usually, she or the other two decide the future direction of the entire team. Even when encountering any genius, it is she or the other two who invite them. It is the first time that Grace Quinn has personally come to invite someone like this.
The other two are also somewhat puzzled. They both look at Ethan Lewis with gazes that seem to want to pierce through him, trying to see what is special about this newcomer.
Grace Quinn smiles. In an instant, this dark corridor becomes a bit brighter. She says, "He can detect people who haven't mutated yet, that is, at the very beginning stage of the mutant. Solving the mutant at this stage is the simplest and easiest for us. We can nip some dangers or urban legends in the bud.
"When I first found him, he had already solved a mutant that was about to complete the erosion by himself.
Mutants, urban legends, disaster mutants, and even distortion mutants all have a starting point, which is the erosion of evil thoughts. If we can detect and eliminate them in advance, the entire 'True Gate' will not suffer such a great loss, and even the number of urban legends will be much fewer.
This is undoubtedly a godsend for the managers.
As long as there is a way to detect it in advance, the casualties will be very few or even none.
To become a manager, whether voluntarily or forced, the most crucial thing is to survive.
As long as one can survive, any price is worth paying.
And Ethan Lewis can do this.
Even so far, he is the only one who can detect the erosion of evil thoughts.
After hearing Grace Quinn's explanation, the other three are also relieved. No wonder the captain would personally invite him. They understand better than anyone how important Ethan Lewis' ability is for managers.
Even in many cases, its importance exceeds that of the Order Keepers.
After all, except for their strong strength and high permissions, the Order Keepers are no different from others.
"I didn't expect that we could find a treasure. Haha, let's see how those bastards can laugh at us now, hum!"
The little girl twists her nose and hums.
They are constantly fighting against evil thoughts, and the losses are simply terrifying. Even most of the time, the points they obtain are used to heal their injuries, and they can't save a bit.
Otherwise, they wouldn't be intact now.
Like other teams, the points used to repair themselves have been used up. Which one of them isn't missing an arm or a leg, or even someone has half of their head cut off.
She doesn't want to end up like that.
Grace Quinn steps forward and pats Ethan Lewis on the shoulder. Suddenly, a trace of cool air flows into Ethan Lewis' body, dispelling the fear in his heart.
"Are you okay?"
There is some worry in her eyes. She is really afraid that Ethan Lewis will be scared out of his wits.
Looking at the worry in Grace Quinn's eyes and the teasing expressions of the other three, Ethan Lewis says speechlessly, "Is this the way you welcome newcomers?"
After saying that, he also gives the little girl a slightly resentful look. Just now, he was scared to the point of being unable to breathe. In this environment, seeing such a girl, no one can handle it.
"Humph, it's because you are too timid. This young lady is giving you a chance to build up your courage in advance. Otherwise, when you encounter a mutant, wouldn't you be scared to lose your soul?"
The little girl will not admit her mistake. She snorts lightly and puts her hands on her hips.
"Then please change the way next time. At least give me some psychological preparation! If I get scared stupid, where can I cry?"
Ethan Lewis spreads out his hands. This little girl is a mischievous spirit, and seeing her true appearance, he can't get angry either.
"Okay, Ethan Lewis, let me introduce you."
Grace Quinn shakes her head and says, "She is Ivy Greene, the youngest manager, only thirteen years old. But don't look at her young age. Ivy is bold and careful. Up to now, she has independently solved ten mutant incidents and cooperated to complete three urban legend cases. Her strength should not be underestimated.
"Especially her spirit is particularly strong. She can generally sense some things that we can't see. Several times, we relied on her ability to get through the crisis."
Ethan Lewis is somewhat surprised. He didn't expect this little girl to be so strong. The end of the mutant is the urban legend. Being able to independently solve ten mutant incidents is not by luck. She has real strength.
Moreover, she has participated in three urban legend cases that cause such heavy casualties. This is not something that can be explained by being bold.
"But she has one drawback. She always likes to tinker with some small things and use them to play pranks. However, they are not dangerous. Many newcomers have received her 'care'."
Grace Quinn smiles: "Don't be angry. Although she has some mischievous hobbies, once you integrate into this team, you will find that Ivy is very lovable."
Ethan Lewis nods. Let alone being angry, with his current strength, he simply can't afford to be angry.
"That boy wearing glasses is called Silas Chu. He is eighteen years old. I discovered him three months ago. At that time, the place where he was located was full of evil thoughts, and there were even three mutants. But his hiding ability is excellent. As an ordinary person, he can adjust his breathing, vision, and even the muscles of his whole body in an extreme environment. Many times, if he doesn't show up by himself, no one will be able to find him." Grace Quinn points at the boy and says.
Ethan Lewis is surprised. This Silas Chu is not simple either. In the case of an ordinary person, three mutants couldn't find him. This kind of determination, judgment, and calmness is not something that ordinary people can possess.
"And he is also a powerful Level 3 Concealer in our team. If he assassinates, almost no one in the same level can defend against him, and he even poses a fatal threat to Level 4 Enhancers.
Grace Quinn explains Silas Chu's strength, and there is inevitably admiration in her tone.
Ethan Lewis' heart shudders. A Level 3 Concealer who can threaten the life of a Level 4 Enhancer. This ability is simply terrifying.
Just like an assassin, no one is afraid when facing them directly. But if an assassin hides, it's like a knife hanging over the head, ready to fall at any time.
Even if they don't make a move, they can scare others to death.
Under the condition of high mental concentration for a long time, going crazy is only a matter of time.
After saying that, Grace Quinn points at the middle-aged man at the end and says, "He is called Hector Steel. His enhancement direction is defense, so we usually call him Iron Mountain. Although he is different from those muscular strongmen, there is a full sense of security behind him. As long as he stands there, almost no one can break through the defense line."
"And he is also a Level 3 Guardian."
Ethan Lewis looks at the man. The man notices his gaze and greets him with a smile, without the slightest air of a senior. This makes Ethan Lewis' impression of him better than that of the others.
"So it seems that I am the weakest in this team!"
Ethan Lewis smiles wryly, but he doesn't have too much of a psychological gap. After all, he has just joined, and there is a great space for growth. Who can say that his future achievements will be weaker than others?
Grace Quinn smiles and says, "Don't be discouraged. Newcomers all have a transformation process from being weak to being strong. No one is strong from the beginning. And speaking, in a certain sense, your ability is stronger than ours."
This is indeed the case. The ability to keep people safe is indeed more important than strength.
In this world, being alive is more important than anything else.
"Humph, don't hold Sister Quinn back, or I will release my Big Yellow to bite you to death!"
Ivy Greene suddenly says fiercely.
However, this tone appears somewhat cute on her face.
"Big Yellow?"
Ethan Lewis frowns. This sounds like a dog's name.
Seeming to see the confusion in Ethan Lewis' eyes, Grace Quinn smoothes her long hair and says, "Big Yellow is indeed a dog, but it is different from an ordinary dog. It is a dog that is almost comparable to a mutant.
"What? Comparable to a mutant?"
Ethan Lewis is shocked. Is this still a dog?
How can there be such a strong one? Even a Tibetan Mastiff doesn't have such a strong aggressiveness, right?
But when he thinks of this, he stops. He suddenly thinks of the dog in the alley in front of his house.
It has to be said that the sense of oppression that dog gives him is simply like the sky is falling. It is the kind that he will die if the other party has a slight thought.
Come to think of it, he didn't see that dog when he went out today. Where did it go?
Looking at Ethan Lewis' shock, Grace Quinn nods and says, "You are right to think so. Big Yellow's strength is indeed terrifying. Do you know the Archivist?"
The Archivist?
"I know. I was just about to ask you. The other four routes all have their enhancement elements, but why is the Archivist blank? When he first saw the Archivist, he was also very confused. Among the five routes for managers, four can be enhanced, but the Archivist is not. It is blank and there is no clue at all.
"The Archivist indeed does not have enhancement elements because generally speaking, the Archivist route is the strongest, without a doubt. But at the same time, it is extremely dangerous.
Grace Quinn sighs: "Almost ninety percent of the people who embark on the Archivist route die, and their deaths are very tragic."
