Chapter 1495 Identification
Chen Mu nodded. After the editor-in-chief's strange explanation, Chen Mu finally understood the operating logic of the Underworld Post Office.
Since the business relies on selling information, it's reasonable that a newspaper only contains one or two key sentences.
If it weren't for Chen Mu, and it were any other player, the editor-in-chief wouldn't have had the patience to explain so much.
Chen Mu was also well aware that he could obtain a lot of additional information by relying on his reputation.
"Editor-in-chief, the city we're going to, it's not Wangjiang City, is it?" Chen Mu said, looking at Xiao Ye and asking, "I remember that there shouldn't be any beggars or homeless people in our Wangjiang City."
Xiao Ye nodded repeatedly, "Yes, boss, Wangjiang City is under the jurisdiction of the Lost Village Chief."
Each unemployed person will receive 5000 yuan (in ghost money) per month for living expenses, plus a 25-square-meter guaranteed apartment, all provided free of charge. Additional job opportunities and on-the-job training will also be offered.
Not only Wangjiang City, but other polar ice cities and desert cities also have corresponding safeguard measures.
In the area we guard along the river, there are no beggars or vagrants.
The editor-in-chief smiled mysteriously and said, "Mr. Chen, you're overthinking it. In my opinion, it definitely won't be in the bizarre apocalypse. That's your territory. What mission would you be able to complete there?"
If I were the eerie boss, I would most likely create a specially designed eerie setting. So I'm guessing that the city you're going to is probably an eerie setting.
"I think it's perfectly reasonable for you to take on bizarre missions and conduct interviews in bizarre settings."
Chen Mu was not surprised at all. "Alright, let's get ready to go."
"Please come with me, both of you. Let me demonstrate how to use this mirror."
After the editor finished speaking in a strange manner, he went to the mirror and stood in front of it.
At that moment, the mirror naturally reflected the editor-in-chief's strange appearance.
"You just need to hold one pose for ten seconds. The mirror will then transform from its normal state to a 'portal' state. Like this."
As soon as he finished speaking, the originally ordinary mirror surface instantly became transparent.
The mirror was like transparent air; Chen Mu could even see the editor-in-chief's strange appearance from behind it.
At the same time, wisps of eerie energy, as thin as gossamer, emanated from the mirror.
These eerie auras began to swirl around the editor-in-chief. His entire being seemed shrouded in a white veil.
A few seconds later, the eerie energy began to recede, and the mirror returned to its original state.
However, in the upper right corner of the mirror, lines of small, blood-red characters appeared:
Item List:
1 shirt
1 pair of trousers
1 pair of shoes
1 pair of socks
3 pair of underwear
1 pair of glasses
1 newspaper
1 pen
[1 notebook]
The editor-in-chief's entire body, including everything he carried, was laid out in detail.
Looking at these lists, Chen Mu noticed that this strange one actually had 3 items inside.
But it didn't have any bulging pockets or bags at all. Where did it put the extra two pairs of underwear?
The editor-in-chief also noticed his unusually high number of internal codes.
It smiled sheepishly, "Don't worry about the details. Mirrors aren't good because they can expose your privacy, so when we go on business trips, we usually go alone and rarely with colleagues."
Chen Mu expressed his understanding; he could already guess where the extra two pairs of underwear had been stuffed.
The editor continued in a strange tone, "After the mirror scan, the number and style of all the interviewee's personal belongings were determined."
For example, my underwear. Even if I want to buy a new pair when I arrive at the interview location, I'll still be penalized by the rules because the style doesn't match when I come back.
As you both should have seen, there was a broken mirror in that previous room.
That is, when the interviewer finished the interview and was returning home, he was identified as having violated the rules. So the mirror shattered, and the interviewer himself was forever trapped in the tunnel until his death.
Therefore, I am not only suggesting, but also requiring you two to ensure that the number of items on the list is consistent and that you do not replace anything—even if they are all underwear, as long as it is not the original item, it will still be recognized.
At the same time, do not reveal the interviewer's identity, and do not convey any unnecessary information.
As I said before, the "Interviewer's Code of Conduct" must not be violated.
Chen Mu said, "Thank you, editor-in-chief. I have a question: if there are items inside items, can the mirror detect them?"
The editor-in-chief paused for a moment, clearly not understanding Chen Mu's meaning.
What does it mean for an item to contain another item?
Chen Mu was referring to the spatial ring in his hand!
The spatial ring contained most of Chen Mu's belongings.
It was filled with all sorts of things, countless in number!
If everything is analyzed and revealed, wouldn't that expose our true wealth?
Chen Mu could understand the editor-in-chief's confusion.
After all, items that can store things are rare even in the supernatural world.
The editor-in-chief is probably still unaware of this prop.
"Mr. Chen, you mean... there's something in the bag? A long time ago, a colleague tried this, but the mirror spotted it and listed everything out," the editor-in-chief said mysteriously.
Chen Mu nodded, saying nothing more. Even if he had, the editor-in-chief would have no idea.
Anyway, he'll give it a try later. Chen Mu is 90% confident that the mirror won't be able to analyze what's inside the ring.
Because both the spatial ring and the dawn-dusk mirror are among the top ten items, they are considered to be on the same level.
The Underworld Post Office, primarily used for transmitting information, seems to be weaker than the Mirror of Dawn and Dusk.
This mirror is just one of thousands of mirrors in the Underworld Post Office.
Therefore, Chen Mu had every reason to believe that the mirror in front of him was far inferior to the Morning and Evening Mirror and the spatial ring.
Thinking of this, Chen Mu stepped forward and stood in front of the mirror.
It was a familiar scene: the mirror began to become transparent, and mist began to envelop Chen Mu.
A few seconds later, lines of bloody text appeared on the right side of the mirror:
Item List:
1 shirt
1 pair of trousers
1 pair of shoes
1 pair of socks
1 pair of underwear
Ring *1
Chen Mu's belongings were very simple, consisting only of basic clothing.
Everything else was thrown into the spatial ring.
Just as Chen Mu had predicted, the mirror could not detect anything in the spatial ring.
In that case… a smile involuntarily crept onto Chen Mu’s lips.
This means that once you enter the mirror, you can use all the items in your spatial ring.
Just put the item back into the ring when you come out.
It's even possible that... you could pack up the entire bizarre scene and take it with you.
