589: Heiser World

Chapter 589: Black Seraph World

Tang Ziheng pondered for a moment and decided to spend some source points to search for it.

[Spending 50e source points, world search in progress...]

[World found - Black Seraph.]

["Black Seraph" World - Level 4 World]

[This is a world with two sides: the main world is a modern technological world, and the Inner World is a dark world. This world is home to "Gods and Devils," and corrupting forces are everywhere.

A millennium has passed since the fifth great war between Gods and Devils, and now the Inner World has begun to "magically" intersect with the main world, starting to "corrode" it.]

Tang Ziheng curiously examined the situation of this world.

The main world, also known as the primary world, although described as a modern technological world, is not like 21st-century modernity.

Instead, it resembles a medieval setting with a certain degree of modern technology, and many people in this modern era possess "special" abilities.

Of course, these people's abilities are not overly exaggerated, nor are they of the fantastical kind.

For example, people with eagle eyes, those who can autonomously control adrenaline, and so on.

These people are collectively referred to as the Altered!

The Altered are actually no different from ordinary people; if they are killed, they will die.

They still live within society, and most Altered, if they don't activate their abilities or show any abnormalities, might never be known as Altered their entire lives!

For instance, with autonomous adrenaline control... whether you've used your ability or not, others wouldn't know, right?

At the same time, this world also possesses a certain degree of mystical power, such as the existence of "Demon Hunters" and "Demon Exorcist Detectives."

These have only appeared in the last few decades.

Tang Ziheng felt that it should be due to the Inner World beginning to intersect with the main world.

He was quite curious about the situation in this world.

....................

Black Seraph World.

Avington District.

Ye Zian.

An unremarkable salaryman Altered. Yes, that's right, he is an Altered.

His ability is precognition.

Yes, that's right, it's the precognition that foresees the future.

However, he doesn't foresee the distant future, but rather events that are about to happen to him, and these events cannot be too far off.

For example, now...

Ye Zian suddenly stopped on his way to work and stepped back two paces.

Thud~

A flowerpot smashed in front of him.

Perhaps it's a precognition of 1 second, or 2 seconds, or even 3 seconds?

Ye Zian had no particular opinion about this ability, but it did allow him to live a rather peaceful life; at least so far, he had avoided many accidents.

This was his ability, well, at least he thought so; from then until now, it had always been about avoiding incoming accidents and harm.

"Zian's here! Come on in~" A large, extended mobile food truck was parked there.

A somewhat handsome, bearded uncle in his thirties waved and called out to Ye Zian.

"Ah~ Boss! Morning!" Ye Zian nodded and walked inside.

He worked here.

The boss's name was Thrace.

The mobile food truck he operated, while called mobile, rarely moved and had always been parked in this spot.

It was two or three times larger than a normal food truck, and Ye Zian had no idea how Thrace managed it.

The items sold were also quite diverse: various snacks, ice cream, drinks...

The space inside the food truck was very large, with sofas, tables, beds, and everything.

There was even a place similar to a "reception room."

Speaking of which, Ye Zian truly couldn't understand why this food truck could also be a "detective agency"!

Yes, it was a detective agency.

Ye Zian simply couldn't comprehend it!

The key was, people actually came to Thrace for help!

This was also why he could work here, because the boss was often not around!

Wages were settled according to the boss's mood.

If he was happy, he'd pay daily; if he remembered, he'd pay daily.

Otherwise, he'd pay a few days later.

He could pay Ye Zian 100 yuan a day, mainly because the boss had a bad memory.

Sometimes, even if he had paid yesterday, he would suddenly say he forgot to pay today and then settle several days' wages for him.

As an upright person, he would always tell the boss that he had been paid yesterday.

But Thrace didn't care; if it was extra, he considered it a bonus.

Well, he was also a rather conscientious boss; at least he didn't say that it would count as future wages or demand it back.

Plus, jobs were hard to find now, and this world was not peaceful.

"You're here, so I'm off. I got a big case today!" Thrace said to Ye Zian, then walked out. Suddenly, he came back and said to Ye Zian through the long serving window: "When this case is over, I'll treat you to some relaxation! Like, helping you, a virgin, break your cherry!"

"..." Ye Zian's eye twitched: "You'd better go quickly, Boss!"

"Hey! Who knows when tomorrow or an accident will arrive! Enjoy yourself while you can, young man! This world isn't safe! What's more, the chances of having a sweet romance in this era are about as small as you living to be 200 years old!" Thrace said with a laugh to Ye Zian, then walked away with his hands in his pockets, humming a tune.

Ye Zian looked at Thrace's bizarre outfit of beach shorts + slippers, paired with a white shirt + tie... He still couldn't understand why anyone would seek out this "detective"?

Never mind whether he looked like a detective... Thrace himself was so sloppy and completely unreliable; why could he still be a detective?

Ye Zian once questioned Thrace, but after Thrace showed him his certified "Detective License"... he fell into three days of self-doubt.

From daytime until evening... the daily turnover was seven to eight hundred.

Ye Zian ate dinner at the shop.

Besides his basic salary and frequent "bonuses," free meals were also what Ye Zian valued most.

According to Thrace, he could eat whatever he wanted; even if he could eat the entire shop, he wouldn't deduct a single penny from Ye Zian!

Of course, Thrace also specifically added: "If you can do that, please let me know in advance! I'd love to see it!"

And so, Ye Zian stayed here for two years, from 17 to his current 19 years old.

School? In this world, going to school was a rare thing.

It was good enough if you could finish high school.

The main reason was that compulsory education here only lasted six years, which meant primary school graduation. Beyond that, you had to pay.

Moreover, you might not even be able to attend because of the chaos.

Take Ye Zian, for example. Originally, when he was 16, he was still in high school.

Then... on a clear morning~ the school exploded. Yes, literally exploded.

So he had no school to attend.

After that, he met his current boss. As an orphan, Thrace expressed that he was happy to help him.

Then Ye Zian became Thrace's subordinate and had been working ever since.

Putting everything else aside, he had accumulated over three hundred thousand in savings for a wife.
