Bai Lu and the short-haired female photographer went to the conference room on the third floor together, and when they arrived, there were already six or seven people sitting inside, and three or four more came in behind them.

The twelve seats are arranged in an arc, and the chairs are marked with people's names, so Bai Lu and everyone are seated.

Taking advantage of the fact that the host had not yet arrived, Bai Lu quietly looked at everyone, and there was no rule for the applicants, because after Bai Lu watched it for the first time, he only learned that there were seven men and five women, ranging in age from 20 to 50 years old.

There are blacks, whites, yellows, and mixed-race people, but the yellow race is the majority, accounting for half, and the short-haired female photographer who spoke to Bai Lu just now is also of the yellow race, and she also speaks Chinese.

Bai Lu was looking at the others, and the others were also looking at her, some were vague, some were straightforward, and some were looking at Chiguoguo, but that gaze seemed to be like this to everyone.

About three minutes later, a screen rose from the focus of the curved seats, and at the same time, a voice like a documentary narrator was heard: "Welcome to the applicants! I am the captain of this 'Ganelon'." ”

"First of all, I would like to inform you that the client has fulfilled his promise in advance and transferred $100,000 to your designated account. ”

Bai Lu thought to herself, it should be at this time that the client who was undergoing leukemia chemotherapy knew that her sister had applied for such a mysterious event.

"You will arrive at our client's private island, Gaea, in the next 24 hours, and I will now explain to you your mission on behalf of the client. ”

The afterglow of the white dew quietly swept over everyone, and it seemed that everyone was listening carefully.

"Gaea is located on the eastern side of the South Pacific, my client HS family built Aphrodite Castle on the island in the 18th century, and then for various reasons, the HS family returned to live on the mainland and only came to Gaea on vacation. ”

"Fifty years ago, most of the HS family died due to an epidemic, and Gaea was abandoned from that time until twelve years ago. The heir of the HS family at the time decided to develop Aphrodite Castle into tourism, however, for some reason, the heir disappeared on the island. ”

Everyone: The mission is to find the heir who disappeared twelve years ago?

"Ladies and gentlemen. Your task is to find the ring on the left hand of the heir twelve years ago, as shown in the picture. ”

A picture of a middle-aged man dressed in a count's costume appeared on the screen, standing solemnly, his left hand enlarged. I saw that he was wearing a huge ring with a green gem on his thumb.

"This ring is the symbol of the HS family's identity, and the current heirs of the HS family hope that you will find it on the island. ”

Bai Lu felt strange when he heard it, since the ring was worn on the hand of the previous head of the family, then letting everyone find the ring was not equivalent to finding the missing head of the family? Since he was looking for someone, why did he say that he was only looking for the ring? Unless, ...... Unless it has been established that the person is dead......

"Because the client did not wish to destroy the original state of Aphrodite Castle, no heavy weapons, chemical drugs, or electronic devices capable of connecting to satellite signals were allowed to be brought to the island. ”

The crowd who had been listening silently boiled instantly, and a rather stout man protested: "If there is any danger on the island, how can we defend ourselves if we don't have weapons?"

Men in his thirties with glasses crossed fingers. It is also a protest: "How can we detect road conditions without electronic devices?"

The pretty girl said, "Can't get a satellite signal? Do you want us to go to the island to be Robinson?"

……

Bai Lu had an indescribable sense of weirdness when he heard about the origin of the HS family and the castle, whether it was looking for a ring or looking for someone, just ask a well-trained professional team or directly find a mercenary, why do you want to issue this kind of "collection order", it sounds like some kind of perverted "treasure hunt" game, and in the end, everyone has no return.

It's not that Bai Lu is guessing, because when she was in college, a roommate watched a horror movie that started like this: a group of ignorant contestants who thought they could make a big bounty. As a result, after going to a lonely island or a wilderness villa, one by one died miserably! What died in the order of the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, and what was victimized in alphabetical order of surname, and what ...... Bai Lu shuddered as she thought about it. Can she just announce her withdrawal on behalf of the client's sister!

"This is the request of the principal, and as an agent, I cannot trespass!" the captain's voice remained steady, unmoved by the protests of the crowd.

"Since you're the acting captain, why do you want to talk back via audio? Why? Don't you even dare to show your face?" Bai Lu's left hand side, a beautiful blonde woman provoked. Her words were echoed by everyone, who demanded that the captain show up.

"I'm sure you want to see the Aphrodite Castle or the $10 million bounty, not the contemptible face. ”

"You ......"

Bai Lu weakly mentioned, "Captain, I have a request. ”

The crowd turned to Bai Lu, and a "please speak" prompt came from the audio.

"Can you ...... Can I opt out?" As soon as Bai Lu's words were finished, everyone looked at her with an incredible gaze, as if "Oh my God, what a stupid question".

"I'm sorry, Miss Wei Qiuwu, since you set foot on the 'Garnilon', you have already started the 'Castle Trail', and besides, $100,000 has been credited to your designated account. Therefore, we cannot comply with your request. ”

Bai Lu already knew that he couldn't turn back, but after hearing it so clearly, he was still a little frustrated, this is clearly a game of "playing with life", why is everyone so unhesitating? For money? Some people seem to be very rich themselves!

For example, the beautiful blonde woman sitting next to her, the Patek Philippe watch on her wrist that sells for at least $300,000, in this case, will there be a shortage of those rewards?

Bai Lu didn't want to be isolated as an alien, so she smiled wryly, and then obediently closed her mouth, let's talk less.

"The Ganilong has prepared for you to go to the island, including food, water, standing medicine, electronic maps, non-ammunition weapons for self-defense, etc., which will be placed in a crate on the deck when you land on the island. ”

"I wish you all the best!" said the captain's closing remarks.

The screen that only played the photos of the former heirs of the HS family from beginning to end, it was still just the huge emerald ring, Bai Lu muttered in his heart, so hard to waste money and money, just to find such a ring that is just a symbol of the family?

Forgive a little person like her for not being able to understand the meaning of finding the ring, Bai Lu was thinking, in addition to her identity is missing, which of the people present at the moment have become vegetative people, and which ones have become mentally ill?

And most importantly, why?
