Chapter 222: The Legend of Phantom City (End)
Syllable! Syllable! Syllable! Syllable! Syllable!
The sound of five explosions of something in a row rang out the moment after Gu Moli and the group walked into the tunnel, and the most timid one even let out a "Wow!" But in comparison, Gu Moli, Hua Qiong, and Zhuge seemed very calm.
Followed by.
Bang! There was another soft sound, and the dark space was instantly illuminated by bright lights, and in an instant, everyone who had already adapted to the darkness subconsciously narrowed their eyes.
"Congratulations to all players!"
"Stand out in the first trial operation of Phantom City!"
"It's so exciting!"
In the bright room, you can clearly see a variety of electronic devices, and you can also see a huge sixteen-equal surveillance screen, which shows the scene from all over the Phantom City, from the living room, to the toilet, to the gym, to the surrounding environment outside the Phantom City.
“.... Ahh ”
"Trial operation...."
Retracting his gaze, Gu Moli looked in front of him again, there were a total of five people, two women and three men, all holding crackers in their hands that would only be used to celebrate others' birthdays, two of them were very familiar, and they didn't even change their clothes, they were Yun Xiaoyue and Li Shaohua, who were covered in blood.
"You two really aren't dead!?"
"Scared?"
"Nonsense!"
Ren Xuan let out a hysterical roar: "What's the point of you guys joining forces to do this kind of prank!?" And Li Shaohua, you're a player, right!? You...."
"Don't get me wrong."
“.... Yes? ”
Li Shaohua's face was serious: "Even if you are a player, you need to work, otherwise what will you do to kryptonite?" ”
"Work...."
"That's right."
Li Shaohua paused, and then smiled again, her appearance is not good-looking, but it is not ugly, it can only be described as ordinary, but when she laughs, she looks very bright: "This is my job, I am mainly responsible for the trial operation of the Phantom City project team." ”
"Phantom City... The project team? ”
"Yes, in fact, this Phantom City was invested and built by the people above me, with the aim of creating a horror-style theme park in Guanghui City, and this Phantom City is one of the main projects, how about it? It should be a bit of a scary experience, right? ”
"There's a fart! Where does anyone engage in a theme park will choose the horror style! ”
"It's not for nothing, I said it above, it seems to be in a place called Jiujiang, this style is quite hot...."
“.... Feed! ”
Without waiting for Ren Xuan to continue complaining, Gu Moli took the initiative to interrupt their conversation: "Compared to these, it is illegal to imprison us people in that Phantom City without authorization, no matter how you look at it, right?" How do you explain that this involves the personal freedom of the inhabitants? ”
“... Ah, we're really sorry about that. ”
"You think I'll do that..."
"However, for the players who have cleared the customs in the trial operation, our operation team has prepared a lot of bonuses...."
“.... When I didn't say. ”
"Boss!? This stance has become too fast, right!? ”
Hua Qiong made a sharp complaint on the side, but considering that she had not accepted the commission much during this time, but was immersed in the game, which led to a shortage of living expenses, Gu Moli decided to ignore it, there is no way, this is the helplessness of adults after they go to society!
“.... What about you? ”
At this moment, Zhuge who had been silent suddenly spoke, and his gaze was directed at Yun Xiaoyue: "You are also a member of the project team?" ”
"I'm really a journalist."
Yun Xiaoyue's expression looked a little embarrassed: "Actually, I was invited by them to be responsible for the reporting and publicity of this Phantom City incident..."
"Wait! What does it mean? Reported!? ”
"That's right."
Li Shaohua nodded and continued: "In fact, in order to build momentum, we specially hired a water army to spread the news of Phantom City on the Internet, and deliberately let people witness it to increase the legend, but after all, it is an amusement project, so Phantom City will be announced to the public in the end." ”
“.... So just before that, you did a trial operation like this, let people who don't know the truth into it, and then start a decryption.... Did you leave a video on it? What are you going to do? Edit it into a video and post it on various websites, and then advertise it on the Internet? ”
"Yes." Li Shaohua smiled: "In fact, in this trial operation, Mr. Gu, your performance and performance are quite wonderful, and we have also investigated the selection of any trial operation, it seems that you were right to choose you who are very famous in the private detective industry." ”
“.... Excuse me. Gu Moli shook his head: "I'm not very photogenic myself, so..."
"Oh of course, our project team will pay you a certain amount in exchange for your appearance in the video, similar to buying portrait rights, the price is negotiable, and Mr. Gu, with our publicity efforts, your firm will also be on fire in Guanghui City, right?"
“.... I won't bother with you about these little things! ”
“.......”
Although he faintly noticed Hua Qiong's increasingly contemptuous gaze, Gu Moli decided to ignore it.
As for Zhuge here, his expression still seemed to be very dissatisfied, but although he was an official official, he still had to strictly abide by the rules and regulations, and if it was something involving players, it would be fine, but at the moment, Phantom City was completely an "ordinary incident".
The only player, Li Shaohua, has no abuse ability at all.
If you have to say it.
That is, the abuse of "money power".
"Speaking of which, if this Phantom City was built underground, the construction should have started a long time ago, right?" Hua Qiong looked around and said with some curiosity.
"yes."
Li Shaohua smiled slightly: "In fact, the construction site was bought by our side, but the construction time is relatively long, so it has been delayed until now, of course, there are some other preparations, now everything is ready, I believe it will be expanded soon." ”
"I see.... So when the news of the abandonment of the construction site came out before, the government never took care of it..."
"It's just a rumor."
"Hmph."
Hearing this, Gu Moli raised his head proudly: "So I told you a long time ago, modern society has to believe in science, what demons and monsters, all are fake, and urban legends are even more unbelievable, now you understand, right?" I'm a professional! ”
Li Shaohua also nodded and said, "That's the truth." ”
“.... Still. ”
"Huh?"
Speaking of this, Li Shaohua suddenly narrowed his eyes, the corners of his mouth twitched, the original ordinary dragon face, at this moment, actually made Gu Moli feel quite familiar.
"What science can't explain still exists."
"For example.... Coincidental. ”
"Coincidence?"
"That's right, aren't it all wonderful coincidences that people meet each other unexpectedly, and the result is like thunder and thunder, or the sky is like thunder and fire."
"Ugh." Gu Mo was a little dumbfounded for a while.
"It's a pity that the reason why a coincidence is a coincidence is that the probability of occurrence is too low, and it is still very difficult to encounter it."
The best thing is that when you meet in the water, it is actually very difficult to form a relationship between best friends or rivals, and even if such a relationship is formed, it is possible to part ways in the end with the passage of time.
"So....."
Li Shaohua paused and didn't continue, but Gu Moli reacted instantly.
So.....
Friends are easy to find, but confidants are hard to find.
...... .
