"Hello, I'm a Wanderer, and I an no harm."
Yang Tao's words amused the two B.N.T.G. guards; being pointed at by two submachine guns and claiming You an no harm was quite funny.
"Walk slowly over here for a scan."
B.N.T.G. wasn't unwelcoming to Wanderers; otherwise, who would they sell their supplies to? Or rather, their own mbers didn't just pop out of rocks.
Yang Tao casually walked towards them.
The two led him deeper into the tunnel, where the surrounding temperature gradually rose. Although Yang Tao didn't feel hot, he could sense the change in temperature, which felt quite magical.
The tunnel gradually changed its style, becoming more expansive.
Soon, a special space ca into view: an area combining a warehouse and an office.
The walls and floor of this Level 2 area were made of broken concrete, with exposed rebar in so places. Water pipes and ventilation ducts covered the ceiling and walls.
Yang Tao knew this place.
[Office EL3A]
EL3A is one of the most hospitable locations in Level 2, and it is also the first outpost most Wanderers encounter in the Backrooms.
Of course, provided they pass inspection, otherwise…
After he stepped into the Office EL3A area, the two guards, who had been holding submachine guns, suddenly beca much more enthusiastic.
"What's your na? We haven't seen a Wanderer here in a while."
"Yang Tao. I just ca from Level 1. I t one of our exploration teams on the way, and they guided here."
Yang Tao was bewildered by the guards' sudden change. Just monts ago, the two guys were as expressionless as terminators, like living killing machines.
What was with this sudden change to being all smiles?
"Oh… You must have t Wright and his team. He led the team out today."
As he spoke, the man led him to an office-style room and said, "Here we are. This is the registration desk. Soone will guide You through the next steps after You register, but You must follow so rules here."
"Hmm… Although so rules seem ridiculous, behind every ridiculous rule, an even more ridiculous event has occurred."
He thought of sothing, and a strange smile appeared on his face.
Yang Tao nodded, understanding this perfectly.
Before traversing, he had seen so absurd rules in schools, such as prohibiting bringing utensils into toilets, prohibiting stealing underwear, and prohibiting hanging curtains on dormitory beds.
They seed inhuman, but the stories behind the rules were even more stimulating.
"Aren't we supposed to be scanned?"
The guard smiled and said, "It looks like this is your first ti encountering the organization."
"The scan was already completed the mont You entered the EL3A area. If You were a Skin Stealer or a similar Entity, the alarm would have already sounded."
Yang Tao: "???"
Is it that efficient? But this is too casual. Can my digitized body also pass the test?
So, You can only detect whether it's an Entity, huh?
I'll bring an Alien over to try another day.
In reality, in the Backrooms, being able to distinguish whether sothing is an Entity is completely sufficient.
Although there are slight frictions between humans, overall, there are no direct conflicts between any groups.
After all, in a ghostly place like the Backrooms, if humans don't stick together, they die even faster.
"Alright, go on in. We need to get back to work."
Yang Tao nodded, reached out, opened the office door, and walked in. There weren't many people in the office, only three.
One man and two won.
The few people showed no surprise when they saw him enter. A European woman who looked to be in her thirties smiled and said, "A Wanderer?"
Yang Tao nodded slightly.
"You don't need to be nervous. Our B.N.T.G. is a very good organization, and we welco Wanderers."
"I haven't found your information online, so it's clear You haven't encountered the outposts and bases of other major organizations elsewhere."
Yang Tao nodded again.
"Then, would You mind registering? Of course, this is entirely voluntary. If You don't wish to, You are free to leave."
The other party's aning was clear: You can choose to register, but if You don't want to, then we can't accommodate You here.
"Of course."
"Excellent. Let's reintroduce ourselves. I'm Masha, the head of B.N.T.G. Office EL3A."
With that, she extended her hand. Yang Tao briefly shook her hand and said, "Yang Tao, nice to et You."
"Yang Tao, an Easterner? Excellent. Your discipline and intelligent minds are highly welcod by various organizations in the Backrooms."
"Your age."
"22 years old."
"Gender. Don't misunderstand, ever since ard helicopters and Walmart shopping bags arrived in the Backrooms, out of respect, we can only keep up with the tis. I hope You can understand."
"Male, likes females!"
"Haha, then we can skip the next question. Now for the most important question."
"What are your specialties or abilities?"
The woman's expression beca serious, her gaze intently fixed on Yang Tao.
Yang Tao pondered for a mont. It seed like his entire body was a specialty, and his abilities were also specialties.
But he still thought for a mont and said, "Does easily attracting Entities count as a specialty?"
Masha's expression didn't change much. She looked at Yang Tao with sharp eyes and calmly asked, "Attracting Entities? How do You attract them?"
"I encountered Bacteria and the Duller in Level 0, a Smiler in Level 1, and also a Smiler in Level 2. Oh, and before coming here, I was attacked by a pack of Hounds!!"
"Speaking of which, I want to ask, is Level 2 really that unfriendly to Wanderers? Even Entities appear in groups?"
Masha: "..."
You look so cool when You're bragging, but I really can't upload this to the network.
She took a bottle of Almond water from the office desk drawer, only this ti the bottle wasn't gray but a blue canned Almond water.
Instantly, information about blue almond water appeared in Yang Tao's mind.
This variant of Almond water can effectively resist the impact of external factors on human ntal health.
It can even suppress the early stages of the Wretch (#15) cycle and, if treated promptly, can even reverse it directly.
It also helps Wanderers suffering from anxiety, depression, and ADHD manage their ntal illnesses.
However, excessive use of this Almond water can cause permanent addiction, impaired vision, and muscle weakness.
"Yang, I think You might be ntally exhausted. Co, let treat You to a bottle of Almond water, and then You can get a good night's sleep. We'll discuss the rest when You wake up."
Is there no justice in this day and age? People don't even believe the truth anymore?
