Chapter 696: The Meeting Begins
Liu Xing looked at the surrounding environment and found that the dream meeting was still quite good at picking a place, because the area of this original underground prison was still quite large, and the architectural layout was also very suitable as a place for holding secret gatherings, because in addition to the hall in the middle, which could accommodate hundreds of people, there were large and small cubicles all around, which could provide suitable space for people in need to talk.
And it may be because this original underground prison was used to hold some criminals with status, so the decoration here can be described as very luxurious, especially the extremely conspicuous huge lighting in the hall, Liu Xing estimated that he could not buy it without more than 100,000 pounds.
Liu Xing thought about it while following Dior to the so-called No. 3 lounge, if it weren't for Dior's mention just now that this No. 3 lounge was renovated from the original No. 3 prison cell, Liu Xing would have thought that he was in the presidential suite of a five-star hotel.
Sure enough, it's all evil capitalism, and it's so extravagant and wasteful to build a prison.
At the door of the No. 3 lounge, Dior began to introduce Robert's situation to Liu Xing, "At the beginning of the establishment of our dream club, President Robert was unanimously elected by everyone to be the president of the dream club, this is because President Robert was born in a famous family in England, so he has a lot of resources in his hands that are very beneficial to our dream club, such as this secret prison is given by President Robert with great pains." Of course, President Robert is also a very good person, and is deeply respected and trusted by the members of our dream club, but no one is perfect, as an old aristocrat in England, President Robert is full of superiority in the face of people from other countries, even people from Scotland and Wales, so the members who will come to our dream meeting offline are basically English, Chris, you know what I mean. ”
Liu Xing nodded, expressing his understanding very much.
After all, England, as a former empire on which the sun never sets, has not faded at all after more than ten years, even if the British Empire has degenerated into a big brother country at that time, and even an ocean-going fleet is almost unavailable, they still do not change their true colors of-stirring sticks, and stand up and force some things that are not under their control and they are not worthy of it.
So although Liu Xing is smiling now, he is full of disdain for the unmasked Robert in his heart, and he can be regarded as understanding why he did not develop and grow in his dream.
You must know that in Liu Xing's opinion, if Robert can play the cards in his hand well, then he has every chance to build the Dream Society into a new transnational secret church, after all, the human beings who have been dreamed of by Cthulhu can be said to be all over the world, and as a result, because of Robert's racial discrimination, non-English Dream Society members are reluctant to come to the offline meeting.
Therefore, Liu Xing knew that his dream would be useless now, because this place might really be just a "Patient Mutual Aid Association".
"Okay, let's go in now, and you can be intimate when you meet President Robert later, because President Robert has many relatives and acquaintances who work in the police community, and knowing President Robert will be of great benefit to your work." Dior patted Liu Xing's shoulder and said.
After Dior finished speaking, he took Liu Xing into the inner room of the No. 3 lounge.
In the inner room, an old man who looked to be seventy or eighty years old was reading a newspaper with a pipe in his mouth.
"Dior, long time no see." Robert said, putting down the newspaper.
Dior nodded and said with a smile: "President Robert, you are right, we haven't seen each other for several years, this is the new person of our dream meeting - Chris, he is currently serving in the London Police. ”
Robert raised his eyebrows, and said with some surprise: "You are Chris, I have heard your name a long time ago, because one of my grandsons is in the police academy where you studied, so I know that Chris, your professional performance is very good, I didn't expect you to join our dream club, this is very good news for our dream club, after all, the members of our dream club are still mainly ordinary people, and there are many so-called artists among them, Therefore, the members of our dream society can be said to have no one who can fight in their dreams. ”
Liu Xing smiled, but he was complaining in his heart that even in the real world, the members of the Dream Club who were heavily armed might not be able to fight the Deep Diver alone.
But then again, if Liu Xing hadn't known that Robert was a racist, Liu Xing might still think that Robert was a good elder by now, because Robert, as a nobleman, didn't put on a show in front of himself as a commoner.
Of course, Liu Xing knew that the reason why Robert treated him like this was because most of Cthulhu's dream objects were powerless literary middle/youth/elderly, so a policeman with outstanding business ability like himself was a "precious resource" for the Dream Club, and secondly, because "Chris" was a pure-blooded Englishman.
In addition, what surprised Liu Xing was that the relationship between Robert and Dior seemed very good.
After Liu Xing and the three of them exchanged pleasantries, they began to get to the point.
"President Robert, you should already know that the Necro-Food Sect is planning to co-opt us to deal with a group of Cthulhu fanatics in our dreams, and according to the information provided by the Necro-Food Sect, those Cthulhu fanatics have entered the city of London, and the most important thing is that they are likely to be unfavorable to our dreams."
Robert sighed, and said a little helplessly: "Dio, you must know more about the Corpse Food Sect than I do, so you should know that this Corpse Food Sect is not a good thing, I think they are not satisfied with operating underground now, so I am worried that our cooperation with the Corpse Food Sect is to seek the skin of the tiger, and when the time comes, it will be troublesome for the Corpse Food Sect to come up with a fake way to destroy the enemy, and Dio, you also know that most of the members of our dream club are local chickens and dogs, So they can't be expected to fight the Cthulhu fanatics, especially if the Cthulhu fanatics have the support of the Deep Divers. ”
Dio nodded, and said with a worried face: "I think so too, nine times out of ten, the members of our dream club will not use firearms, and they have already been frightened by those deep divers in their dreams, so they are just a group of cannon fodder, but it is also said that the reason why the group of guys from the Corpse Food Sect came to us to talk about cooperation is that we hope that we can be used as cannon fodder to help them consume the enemy's strength." ”
Liu Xing nodded silently, judging from the current situation, the Corpse Food Sect really wants the Dream Club to be cannon fodder, or to contain the believers of Cthulhu.
Robert pondered for a moment before he spoke, "So what do you think now, Dior?" Should we try to cooperate with the Corpse Eater, but it doesn't involve combat. ”
Dio was silent for a long time this time before he shook his head and said, "President Robert, your idea may be a little unrealistic, because even if the Necro-Eater Sect is hypocritical with us, on the surface, they agree to our request, but they may betray us and let those damn fish people come to us for trouble, so as long as we choose to cooperate with the Necro-eating Sect, then we will have a hard time riding the tiger." ”
"So what if we choose to refuse?" Robert said with an ugly face.
Dio let out a long sigh and said with a wry smile: "I'm afraid the situation will get worse, after all, President Robert, you also know the methods of the Necro-eating Sect, they are not an easy master to deal with, if we choose to refuse the Necro-eating Sect's request for cooperation, then the Necro-eating Sect may be indifferent on the surface, but behind the scenes it is trying to find an opportunity to stab us, such as revealing the situation of our dream meeting... ”
Robert put down the pipe in his hand and said with some confusion: "If those Cthulhu fanatics knew about the existence of our dreams, then they would definitely try to trouble us, after all, in their eyes, we pagans must die... Forget it, we still choose to agree to the Corpse Eater's request for cooperation, so that at least the Corpse Eater Sect is our ally on the surface. ”
At this moment, Dio suddenly asked, "What do you think, Chris?" ”
Liu Xing raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect Dior to ask himself this question at this time.
However, Liu Xing was in a hurry, and said seriously: "I want to ask a question first, that is, is there any other powerful secret church other than the Corpse Food Sect within the city of London at present?" Now that we can be sure that the Necro Cult is only using us, then even if we become superficial allies with the Necro Cult, the Necro Cult will not come to our aid if we run into trouble in the future, so we have to find a good home for ourselves first. ”
Robert's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "As an international metropolis, London naturally has secret churches headquartered in the city of London, but most of the strength of these secret churches is not worth mentioning, and there is no need to cooperate with the current situation of our dream meeting, but I really know that there are two secret churches with good strength, which may be able to solve our current siege, because the strength of these two secret churches is not under the corpse eating sect." ”
"The first secret church is called the Lake God Gate, the believers of the Lake God Gate are the belief in a god who will only appear in the lake, this god will not only give its believers great power, but also make its believers immortal, so I heard that there are several old people who have lived for hundreds of years in the Lake God Gate, and their strength is stronger than the average deep diver, but the most important thing is that the Lake God Gate has no quarrel with the world, basically there is no conflict with other secret churches, and the attitude towards the outside world is also friendly, So we might really have a chance to cooperate with Hushenmen. ”
"As for another powerful secret church called the Divine Sect, this secret church is more mysterious, because in addition to the name of the Divine Sect, I know that their range of activities is near London, and it can be said that there is no trace of the activities of the Divine Sect when I leave London, and the identities of the believers of the Divine Sect are also very mysterious, and at present, there are only two believers of the Divine Sect whose identities I know, so it may be a little troublesome to cooperate with the Divine Sect."
Liu Xing knew that the Lake God Sect in Robert's mouth should refer to those Grady disciples, and the Divine Sect was referring to Miss Wang.
"According to what you said, President Robert, it's better for us to go to the Lake God Sect to talk about cooperation, after all, we really don't know much about the Divine Sect, and judging from the Divine Sect's style of acting, they are likely to refuse our cooperation, and the most important thing is that the Divine Sect may not be able to deal with those fanatical believers who believe in Cthulhu, after all, if they really have the strength, they will not be so careful." Christian Dior came up with his idea.
Robert nodded and said: "That's right, I also think that I should go to the Lake God Sect to talk about cooperation first, and if it fails, I will go to the Divine Sect to cooperate, but Dio, you may not know because you have lived in Manchester over the years, the strength of this Divine Sect is still quite strong, and it has swept away many secret churches overnight." ”
Seeing that Robert and Dior had reached a consensus, Liu Xing naturally didn't want to say anything more, after all, Liu Xing is just a newcomer who has just joined the Dream Club, so even if Liu Xing knows that he will cooperate with Hushenmen in the dream, he is also seeking skin with the tiger, or he is sold and counted money to others, but Liu Xing feels that it is better not to express his opinions casually.
Anyway, for Liu Xing, the destruction of the dream club has nothing to do with himself.
After making up his mind, Robert took Liu Xing and Dior to the hall for a meeting.
At this time, there were already hundreds of people sitting in the hall.
Because the layout of the hall was somewhat similar to the English Parliament next door, Liu Xing still felt a little empty when the members of the Dream Club sitting on both sides turned their heads to look at him, to be exact, Robert beside him.
After all, these hundreds of people are wearing masks of various colors, and they look a little weird in the slightly dim light.
Liu Xing and Dior found two empty seats to sit down, while Robert walked to the podium in the middle of the hall and announced the official start of the emergency meeting of the Dream Society.
After brewing his emotions for a while, Robert said seriously: "Members of the Dream Society, the reason why I suddenly notified you to come to today's emergency meeting today is because we will encounter a big trouble in our dreams, a big trouble that may turn our dreams into history - those fanatical believers who believe in the evil god Cthulhu have come to the city of London, and they may also have Cthulhu's evil minions by their side, the Deep Divers, So we now have reason to suspect that these damn guys are coming for us! ”
As soon as Robert's words fell, hundreds of people in the hall all gasped.
Then, the discussion instantly rang out.
