Chapter 477: Initiation Ceremony (2) (2nd Update)

Suddenly, the door to the firefly's room was opened again, but only a slit that allowed people to pass sideways, and a voice called into the room, "Justin Vincent! ”

When one of the people with the glow stick heard this, he quickly ran over, and after drilling through the crack in the door, the door was gently closed again, and it was locked from the outside.

"What is he doing here?" Shi Xun asked puzzled.

Without waiting for Phelps to answer, Jack stepped over and said, "I guess I was called to the legendary room 322!" ”

"Why is it a room again?" Shi Xun felt strange, "Isn't there a more decent place for the Welcome Meeting?" ”

"That's different!" Jack muttered, "The three numbers 322 are the soul of the Skull and Bones Society!" Therefore, that room 322 has a very special meaning, and only when you get out of it can you be considered a real member of the organization! ”

"Then do you know why the three numbers 322 are so special?" Phelps asked Jack with a smile.

Jack couldn't answer, and thought to himself, "What is this......"

"Demosthenes." Another man with a glow stick walked over, "He was an eloquent man in ancient Greece, died in 322 BC, legend has it, after his death, the goddess of eloquence also ascended to heaven and disappeared, but the founder of the Skull and Bones Society always believed that the goddess of eloquence would return to the world in 1832, which founded this organization, so the number 322 actually represents that important year." ”

"Eloquent...... Then the Skull and Bones Society's job should be to debate. Shi Xun felt confused, "But now it seems that this organization is more focused on power and money, isn't that against the original intention?" ”

"It's not a contradiction." Phelps took over, "In our country, from the states to the Congress, the struggle for power is based on eloquence, the gubernatorial elections in the states are like this, and the presidential election is a smokeless war, and each candidate will try his best to show his debating talents, only in this way can the people be impressed, so that they can vote for themselves." ”

"So that's ......" Shi Xun thought of the GH Party under the jurisdiction of the Skull and Bones Society, and their strength may be due to the favor of the Goddess of Eloquence, and this Goddess of Eloquence herself is actually the Skull and Bones Society.

"Hello, my name is Ponty." The person who popularized the number 322 just now shook hands with Shi Xun and them in turn, always with a smile on his face, looking very gentlemanly.

As the four of them continued their conversation, the door of the room opened again, still leaving only a crack, and a name was called inside, and another person walked out.

In this way, after the fifth person was called out, Shi Xun roughly calculated the time, basically their interval was seven to eight minutes, and the person who went did not come back, which also made him feel a little worried.

In fact, Shi Xun didn't know much about the organization of the Skull and Bones Society, and he learned some relevant information from Yumei or Jack, so at this time, his suspicions became heavier and heavier, among them, if this organization is really as rumored to cover the sky with one hand, then why is the headquarters building located in a university, and it is still a "grave" like a ghost building?

Also, why are new members only recruiting students? And it must have a strong family background, could it be that this is just a trap? They recruit such students here, ostensibly to join the association, but in fact they are holding them hostage in order to achieve ulterior purposes?

The door was opened: "Jack Johansen!" ”

"Here!"

Jack was excited and just wanted to run over, but Shi Xun grabbed his arm and frowned.

"What's wrong, Shi?" Jack looked at him in surprise.

"I think...... It's not going to be that simple. Shi Xun's expression was serious.

"Hey, take it easy, bro." Jack patted him on the shoulder, "This is the ceremony, many people can't participate if they want to, we should be glad." ”

Shi Xun hesitated and let go of his hand: "Okay...... Then you be careful. ”

Jack gave him a thumbs up and stepped out the door.

Looking at Shi Xun's worried expression, Phelps and Ponty walked up to him, and Phelps said meaningfully: "Don't worry, you will be able to meet again soon, just like Jack just said, you need to relax your mood, for now, this is very important." ”

"Yes...... Shi Xun sighed deeply, "Maybe I'm overthinking." ”

"When people are emotionally depressed, in the same depressed environment, it will inevitably cause all kinds of suspicion and even fear." Ponty handed Shi Xun a piece of chewing gum, "Chew this, maybe it will make you relax." ”

"Thank you."

Shi Xun took the chewing gum and stuffed it into his mouth, the cool taste of the mint did ease his tension a little, and he took a deep breath at the same time.

Not long after, Ponty and Phelps were also called away, and now there are only a few people left, including Shi Xun.

After another period of time, as the people in the firefly room were called away one after another, in the end, only Shi Xun was left, alone in such a dark room, Shi Xun felt unprecedented palpitations, he never knew that he also had the trouble of confinement phobia.

The reason may be that when he was a child, his father Shi Zhen disciplined him very strictly, and even if he made a small mistake, he would be locked in that windowless, dark storage room and think about it. This level is often more than ten hours......

Mother Duanmulin has had disputes with Shi Zhen several times because of this incident, but in the eyes of his father Shi Zhen, who is the leader of the repossession organization, the eldest son Shi Xun is talented and intelligent, and it is very likely that he will be his successor in the future, so he is becoming more and more strict in discipline.

"Shi Xun!"

Suddenly hearing someone calling his name outside the door, Shi Xun wiped his face with his hand, strode away, and like everyone else, he got out of the crack in the door and came to the outside of the firefly room.

He tugged at the glow stick in his hand tightly, because it was the only thing that could bring light to him, even if it was faint.

The person leading the way was wearing a headband with two sharp horns on his head, his face was also covered by a mask, he was wearing a black cloak, and his shoulders were held up high by something.

After turning around in the dark, the other party suddenly stopped.

Shi Xun raised his head, in front of them, there was a wooden door similar to the firefly room just now, the door was engraved with the three numbers "322", the font was very large, and there seemed to be gold dust embedded in it, so even in very weak light, it could still be clearly distinguished, it should be said to be very conspicuous.
