Chapter 536
After the four children left and the sky became completely dark.
The legendary "symposium" finally began.
"In addition to me, there are six people participating in this symposium, three men and three women, and I have vaguely seen the faces of at least four or five of them somewhere..."
At this point, Lu Jinxi paused again, and then added an explanation:
"This is actually a bit strange. After all, there are enough players in Jinling City, and I haven't participated in various dungeon teams and offline activities. Logically, I shouldn't have seen them..."
In any case, being in the same room with a group of strange players still made Lu Jinxi a little uneasy.
Although he boasted everywhere on the forum, in fact, he was just barely at the level of C-level.
And this level was not slowly trained in the death battle in the dungeon.
At least half of them were thanks to various evolution potions.
That is, the scarcity of "C-level evolution potions" has increased significantly, and the price has become less attractive, which led to Lu Jinxi not further improving himself.
Not to mention that the evolution rate itself is not high, this method of improving oneself by relying only on potions and low-level dungeons also has obvious hidden dangers.
At least in terms of combat, Lu Jinxi's level is indeed not high.
Not only that, the lack of practical experience also led to the fact that he had not developed some of his equipment and characteristics to a sufficient degree.
If he really wanted to fight with other players, he would not have the courage at all.
On this basis, it is hard not to feel flustered when surrounded by a group of obviously powerful players.
But unexpectedly, the atmosphere of the entire "symposium" was much better than Lu Jinxi had imagined.
The "Professor Mo" drew the curtains, brought out the small biscuits she made, and distributed them to everyone.
Before the "symposium" began, she also introduced Lu Jinxi, the newcomer, to everyone.
And those players who seemed to be powerful actually welcomed him, at least there was no inappropriate behavior on the surface.
"I really found the right place. This is what I expected, a place for the strong and the wise to communicate..."
Lu Jinxi's pale face almost wrote "I was so stupid at that time that it was unimaginable."
Obviously, the story did not develop as he imagined.
With the detailed and vivid narration of Lu Jinxi in front of him, Gao Yi's [Armchair Detective] worked again. That night, the "symposium" that took place in an old residential building gradually took shape in Gao Yi's mind.
An old lady with simple clothes and kind eyes sat in the middle seat and smiled as she gave a brief pre-meeting speech:
"Since A Miao had left us in the last 'hunt', I specially recruited a newcomer this time. Based on what he said on the forum, his story should not disappoint us..."
"Professor Mo" still had that smiling expression, spread his hands to introduce Lu Jinxi to everyone, and the second half of the sentence became an admonition to the newcomer:
"You are new here, so you will be the last one to speak this time, okay?"
Lu Jinxi actually had no idea what the so-called "story" was and what "hunt" was.
But he didn't want to show his timidity, so he just nodded silently and pretended that he had understood.
Although the description of "leaving us" sounds a bit bad, considering the current situation of players wandering on the edge of life and death, it doesn't seem to be difficult to understand.
In any case, seeing that Lu Jinxi didn't object, "Professor Mo" nodded slightly and signaled the first participant to start telling his story.
That was not an ordinary story.
The first speaker was a pale man wearing a mask.
His story started with a loving couple, telling how they met, fell in love, argued, and finally polished each other to become better versions of themselves.
In the end, they overcame various obstacles and decided to get married and get the blessings of others.
At this point, everything seemed normal, and it even made people wonder if the pale man was the boy in the couple.
But the story took a sharp turn.
The masked man turned to the first-person narrative and began to describe how he captured the couple and forced them to play a death game in the basement.
How to use their feelings to make the two choose whether to take the possible knife for each other.
In the end, how to give them false hope, and finally watch the loving couple begin to collapse and break up, and go to a more cruel death...
How could there be such a story?
What the hell is this story?
This was Lu Jinxi's true thought at the time. He doubted whether the man in front of him was crazy several times in the middle.
But the other listeners around him listened with relish and didn't think there was anything wrong at all.
No, this is not right.
Lu Jinxi held on to his last hope and turned to look at the "Professor Mo".
If this "symposium" had such a problem, at least the organizer should say something, right?
But when he saw the excitement on the old lady's face that had never appeared before.
Lu Jinxi finally understood the true meaning of this "symposium" and the so-called "story".
He listened to the next five stories in a daze.
A middle-aged uncle who looked to be in his 40s or 50s described how he strung the captured vagrants on a sword and used the different postures and positions of the corpses to form exquisite works of art - at least he thought so.
After that, he also distributed a bunch of photos, and everyone got four or five.
These different black and white photos are naturally the uncle's "artworks".
The next one is a girl who looks no more than 16 or 17 years old. She talked about how she set fire to a whole dormitory building of junior high school students at night.
When she talked about locking the exit in advance and watching the struggling victims struggle, her face showed a flush of excitement.
There is also a man who likes to eat human brains, an old man who wants to create some kind of powerful monster through human experiments, and a woman who likes to collect eyeballs.
Finally, a woman who claims to be able to "wear" other people's skins, tells how she sneaked into a home, pretending to be the alcoholic and violent father, and performed a "reformed" drama within a month.
When his wife and two children thought that their father had completely changed and everything would be fine, then...
Lu Jinxi was obviously unable to continue talking at this point.
And Gao Yi also realized that the woman he described who could "wear skin" should be "K".
The bad taste was exactly the same.
It seems that the whole "symposium" is a communication platform for the "Alphabet" members, and even a platform for recruiting new members.
The only question is, what did Lu Jinxi say when it was his turn?
