Luo Ling was wearing a black windbreaker, over-the-knee boots, a pair of black gauze gloves, and a wide-brimmed gauze hat with a bow on it.

This outfit was matched for her by Cen Xiangyun... After all, Luo Ling herself doesn’t understand much, and a high school girl who can only wear school uniforms doesn’t need aesthetics.

The tall Cen Xiangyun wore a corseted dress, and Elsa was dressed in a Lolita style as expected.

Lu Manqing directly put on men's clothes. According to her, it looks more like she is running a harem...

In any case, this group of people looked like standard aristocratic lords and ladies, and ordinary people would just avoid them.

The carriage was still somewhat bumpy. Enoch and the driver sat at the front of the carriage, and the bells jingled along the way as they drove towards the company.

After chatting along the way, the carriage finally arrived at a relatively secluded manor.

This is a manor that is obviously luxurious at a glance. Even though it is not located in the bustling city but just in the suburbs, one can imagine how wealthy its owner is.

Even the iron gate is three or four people tall, and you can see many servants busy coming and going in the manor.

"Welcome to Wellington Mansion, which is an office of the company." Enoch waved to Luo Ling and said, "Miss Luo Ling, please get off the bus, you have arrived at your stop."

"Just me?"

Luo Ling asked.

"Yes, the other ladies need to report to the headquarters first, but you haven't officially joined the "company" yet." Although Enoch is only an HR, he seems to know a lot of things. "The spokespersons of the "Fate Association" and the "Fire Master" have also arrived here. They don't want to enter the company headquarters."

Although on the surface they all belong to the human side, there are still some disputes between the awakened organizations.

Whether it was to avoid suspicion or out of concern, choosing a relatively inconspicuous place for this meeting could be seen as a sign of the company's sincerity.

Elsa pulled at the corner of Luo Ling's clothes. Although her green eyes were filled with some reluctance, she still signaled to Luo Ling not to worry about her.

"Okay, it's not like we won't see each other anymore. We'll come find you after we're done with our work over there." Cen Xiangyun leaned out and said.

Lu Manqing next to him just smiled teasingly and didn't say much.

"Yeah, I understand."

Luo Ling nodded, stepped on the horse stool and got off the car.

Dingling's carriage drove away, and several servants walked out of the manor. After nodding slightly to Luo Ling, they waved for her to follow.

From the wrists of these servants, we can see that they all have tokens similar to Enoch's. It seems that this place is just disguised as a noble manor, and it is full of company employees.

...basically they are all awakened.

Walking through the carefully tended garden of the manor and entering the luxurious mansion that looks like something out of a horror movie, all the mystery and classicism collapsed in an instant.

The interior of the mansion is decorated in exactly the same modern style. Apart from the decorations and style, it looks exactly like an office building, nothing like what is shown in the movies.

There is a time clock at the front desk on the first floor. After entering, there are meeting rooms on both sides. There are people crowded inside, and it seems that they are discussing something intensely.

The maid who led the way saw Luo Ling's eyes lingering in the conference room, so she glanced at it for a while and said,

"They're probably discussing whether to have macaroni and cheese or beef chow fun for Friday night dinner. The two groups have been fighting each other for a while now. By the way, I'm one of the minority who supports soba noodles."

"..."

The company's mysterious image collapsed a little in Luo Ling's mind.

"Are all your meetings usually held to discuss dinner?" Luo Ling couldn't help but ask.

"Occasionally someone would mention breakfast or lunch, but most specialists aren't in the office in the morning or at noon, so there's nothing worth discussing." The maid replied in a flat tone, as if this was just a normal thing.

"Isn't there a meeting to discuss how to deal with the weirdness..."

"That's the style of the Hillman office. Our Wellington office just needs to charge forward to deal with weirdness."

The maid had a cold expression and seemed to be taciturn, but once someone started talking to her, she basically couldn't stop chattering.

However, from her few words, it can be seen that even within the company headquarters, there are still differences within the company.

If you think about it carefully, even a small organization like the Qingshan Psychiatric Hospital Communication Group with only a dozen people will be divided into several teams for easier management.

After following the maid all the way to a large door on the third floor, the cold maid bowed slightly to Luo Ling, then turned and left without saying anything extra.

“What a high level of professionalism.”

Luo Ling sighed.

But the next moment, some whispers reached her ears.

"...Did you take any pictures?"

"I got it! It shows the face!"

"It's a big profit. The Vienna office is offering a high price. Let's sell one to them first!"

"No, no, no, the Venice office has temporarily raised the price. Let's sell it to Venice first."

"Tsk tsk, she's really popular. I don't know why these offices are interested in this underage girl..."

"...Why does it sound a bit dangerous?"

"......"

Luo Ling was a little late in reaching out to open the door. She recognized that one of the excited voices was the maid's.

What the hell is this photo selling...

As for why she was interested, Luo Ling didn't think it was for any dangerous reason, and her appearance was not outstanding.

Most likely it's because of the ability to walk in the void...

But what she didn't expect was that this ability would have such a shocking impact on the awakened forces. Even within the company, some offices that failed to get there first were willing to pay a high price to purchase the photos.

Luo Ling made up her mind that after everything was discussed, she would go find the maid to share the money.

Pushing open the door, behind it is a fairly formal modern conference room, even with a projector and a whiteboard.

In this environment isolated from the outside world, those who can come in can basically recognize the existence of the world of nothingness, and there is no need to worry about cognitive confusion caused by information leakage.

Therefore, some things that belong to other eras but are more convenient to use are placed here.

There were three people in the conference room. Fiona from the "Society of Destiny" and Cheng Jianming from the "Fire Granter" were both people Luo Ling had met before. The person representing the "Company" was someone Luo Ling had not expected, but also someone who was reasonable.

——Lu Manqing’s mother, Lu Fangling.

This old lady Lu had reached retirement age several years ago. In addition, after experiencing a high-risk and strange disaster, she rarely goes out on missions and has gone to a remote place to retire.

Unfortunately, due to bad luck, he ran into another high-risk and strange disaster.

Granny Lu was the highest-ranking member of the company who had personally witnessed the Jiangcheng County incident, and so she was entrusted to conduct this "interview."

"This outfit suits you very well."

Because they had met several times before in Jiangcheng County, as soon as Old Lady Lu met Luo Ling, she greeted her in a familiar tone.

"Thank you."

Facing three adults, Luo Ling couldn't help but feel a little nervous, and looked a little embarrassed as she sat opposite them.

"Haha, don't be nervous. It's called an interview, but it should be you who chooses us."

Old Granny Lu said cheerfully that maybe because of her daughter, she had a very good impression of Luo Ling.

"Shao Heng has told me everything about you, but I still have some detailed questions that I would like to ask you personally."

She opened her smiling eyes slightly and asked softly,

"Miss Luo, which path do you belong to?"

"...Trial?"

Luo Ling answered, but hesitantly.

Because her current form does not have any corresponding path. If she is in the form of the White Witch, she can be said to be the All-Spirits.

“Then it’s not,” Old Lady Lu said quietly, “The moment you hesitated, it showed that your path was not judgment.

"I guess you don't even know what your true path is...?"

The other two people sitting next to them seemed to have known this for a long time. They had no intention of interrupting Granny Lu's question, but looked at Luo Ling, waiting for her answer.

"Yes, that's right." Luo Ling nodded.

Now that things have come to this, it wouldn't hurt for her to reveal some of the truth.

Perhaps, I can get some information from Granny Lu that is not in the materials.

"It seems that our guess was correct." Granny Lu and the other two looked at each other, and after confirming each other, they continued, "I wonder, Miss Luo, have you heard of... the seventh path?"

"Seventh Path?"

Luo Ling was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.

It is almost common knowledge that the awakeners and the weirdness are at the two ends of the six paths, but no one has ever heard of the existence of the seventh path.

"The pioneers called it the First Path, and believed that the other paths were born from it. However, we do not think that the Seventh Path is just a path in addition to the six paths."

Granny Lu said, "Someone in the company has speculated long ago that if the seventh path does exist, it should be related to the Realm of Nothingness."

Although it is just speculation, it is very likely that the ability of "the other shore" was used, and the result is very likely to be true.

"You mean, I... am actually on the seventh path?" Luo Ling asked in surprise.

"I'm not sure. I need more information to confirm. I believe you are also very interested in yourself."

Granny Lu smiled and said, "From the previous battle data, your performance has shown the characteristics of Wanling, Judgment, and even Wandering Dreams, but if you want to further explore the truth, you also need more battle data for comparison."

"So, what do you mean?"

Luo Ling frowned slightly; she still didn't quite understand.

"In other words, the company is not very interested in whether or not we can walk in the "realm of nothingness", because with the help of some ritual instruments, some of us can do it. But if it comes to the seventh path..."

Old Granny Lu said slowly, the implication of her words was very clear.

Luo Ling needs to show more highlights that are worthy of the company's investment. The seventh path that is rumored to exist and no one has ever seen is the biggest highlight.

"What do I need to do?"

Luo Ling calmed himself down and asked.

"I'm carrying out a commission," said Granny Lu, crossing her arms slightly, and said softly, "Deal with the 'White Witch' incident."

"Ah I?"

Chapter 5: Just the "White Witch", the little girl who holds a grudge (k)

"Why, you don't have confidence in yourself?"

Granny Lu said with a smile, while Fiona and Cheng Jianming beside her seemed to be enduring something.

Or listen to what you are saying...

Luo Ling's mouth twitched slightly, but he still said,

"I'm afraid... I'm not up to the task for now."

Let’s not talk about the fact that the White Witch is herself. Even if we put that aside...letting a newcomer deal with such a high-risk and bizarre disaster, is this how the "company" uses its employees?

"Haha, it seems that Miss Luo has a good character. Her first reaction when she heard about this matter was that she was incompetent, not...fear."

Old Granny Lu stared at Luo Ling with a piercing gaze, as if she wanted to see something from her expression.

You know, Luo Ling was also an eyewitness to the Jiangcheng County incident, and even faced the artists and scientists who caused the disaster to break out. He was just lucky enough to avoid the battle that destroyed Jiangcheng County.

But...was it really just a lucky escape?

Luo Ling's expression was very calm from beginning to end, and it was difficult to detect the slightest change.

"Of course, I'm not asking you to solve the high-risk and bizarre "White Witch". The company is not going to let a newcomer deal with a disaster of this scale."

Granny Lu's expression softened a little, as if the scrutiny just now was just an illusion.

"However, this commission is not fake. It is indeed asking you to deal with the "White Witch" incident - deal with the "eggs" differentiated from the "White Witch."

"what?"

This time Luo Ling was really surprised, even her little face changed slightly.

When did she...differentiate into an "egg"?

"'Egg' is a general term for the weird things that have not yet appeared in the world. Generally speaking, we call the weird things that are about to be born 'eggs', and the place where they are born is called 'hatching grounds'."
