Chapter 475: Temptation (Part 2)
As Shi Xun and Jack parted, the two exchanged communication methods with each other and wished to become members of the Skull and Bones Club together.
After returning to the hotel, he was just about to lie down and rest for a while when he received a call from Tomomei and asked, "Is it going well?" ”
"What do you mean? See William, or join the Skull and Bones Society? ”
"Everything."
"Then you can tell me, why do I have to join that organization, if I want to get something, why bother, even if I have to use William's help, isn't it good to use our usual way?"
"On the one hand, I want you to get what the company needs through formal channels, on the other hand, in order for you to gain a foothold in the company in the future, without a strong backstage, it is easy to be squeezed out by people with ulterior motives.
"To put it bluntly, it's intrigue, which big company isn't like this, so what about you? If you can sit firmly in Diaoyutai all the time, could you have joined the Skull and Bones Club a long time ago? ”
"I'm not from the Skull and Bones Society, my backstage is actually Freemasonry, and Carter introduced me to it."
"It's Carter again, he's really good to you......" Shi Xun sneered, "But if I join the Skull and Bones Society, won't we be opposing camps in the future?" ”
"This is normal, the Celestial Beings and the Dragons themselves are opposites, so we can work together in the future."
"Looks like you've already planned it for me."
"......" Tomomi was silent.
"Why don't you speak?"
"Alright, let's get down to business, how is today?"
"Not much."
Shi Xun then told Yumi about handing over the bracelet, and Yumi was shocked when she heard it: "How can you hand this thing in!?" ”
"What's the problem? If I didn't do that at the time, I would be disqualified from signing up, and would I have to wait another year? ”
Hearing this, Tomomi was silent for a while and said, "Okay, your bracelet was given to you by Carter, Carter is a Freemason, and now I can only pray that the other party will not pay attention to this." ”
When Youmei said this, Shi Xun thought of the back of his bracelet, which was indeed engraved with a strange logo, which was very similar to the pyramid that Jack showed him today, except that there were two staggered "V" shapes on it, with a capital letter "G" in the middle.
"What happens if you find out!?" Shi Xun asked a little eagerly.
Boom!
The door of the hotel was suddenly kicked open, and two masked people rushed in, without saying a word, directly pressed Shi Xun, who was still on the phone, to the floor, and the mobile phone fell to the corner of the wall, and the voice of Youmei kept coming from inside: "Ah Xun! Are you okay!? Ah Xun! ……”
One of the masked men walked over and picked up the phone and pressed the power off button directly......
At this moment, Shi Xun was suddenly hit by a blunt object on his head, and he lost consciousness after a period of dizziness......
When he woke up, he found himself firmly tied to a wooden chair, surrounded by darkness, unable to see anything, open and closed.
He endured the residual pain in the back of his head, struggling desperately to get rid of the restraints, but after a few tries, it didn't help.
During the struggle, a strong light suddenly fell from the top of his head, illuminating his whole person transparently, because he was not suitable for such a strong light all of a sudden, Shi Xun subconsciously closed his eyes, and after opening them slowly, he looked down and saw that his hands were tightly clasped by the iron shackles on the armrests of the chair, and the same was true for his waist and ankles.
What's even more terrifying is that he found that this is not an ordinary wooden chair, but a common electric chair in American dramas.
That's right, it is the kind of torture instrument used to execute the death row prisoner, which is generally only available in prisons, and it seems that the other party wants to kill him.
"Who are you!? Why are you arresting me here!? Shi Xun shouted around the pitch black, but got no response.
The white light had already shone on him, and he felt his mouth dry, especially on the top of his head, as if he was being baked by the heat, and he was in pain.
After a while, a deep voice came into his ears, judging that the source of the voice should be near his front, and said: "Tell me who you are, otherwise, this will be the last time you will speak, and the last time you will feel pain." ”
Shi Xun hesitated for a moment and said, "I am a retainer, and my father is the leader of that organization. ”
Speaking of this, the voice sounded again: "Then what is your relationship with the Phantom Realm Company?" ”
"The Illusory Corp is the enemy of the Returnees, and the purpose of our existence is to destroy them."
"Other than that, you're a Freemason, aren't you?"
When the other party asked, Shi Xun understood it, and the other party must be from the Skull Club, because he saw the logo at the bottom of the bracelet, he would treat him unceremoniously.
Shi Xun sorted out his thoughts and replied, "I have nothing to do with Freemasonry. ”
"Then why do you have their stuff?"
"What's that? I do not quite understand. ”
Shi Xun deliberately pretended not to know, but this was not a concealment, if it wasn't for Youmei's reminder later, he wouldn't have thought that there was such a mystery on the back of the bracelet.
"You really don't know?"
"Yes, please make it clear."
"That bracelet is not from the repossessor, but from within the Illusory Realm Company, which is different from what you just said, and besides, why is there a Freemason logo on the bracelet? Hopefully, you can give us a reasonable explanation for these problems. ”
It is worthy of the famous Skull and Bones Society, and it seems to know everything well, in this case, Shi Xun knows that he is not good at lying, so he tells the whole truth.
When it comes to why he wants to become a dragon, the explanation he gives is that he wants to successfully penetrate the enemy and complete the mission given to him by his father, which sounds reasonable to outsiders.
After saying all this, Shi Xun was already dying of severe dehydration, his head drooped weakly, his consciousness began to be a little blurry, and what he thought in his heart, whether the other party believed his words or not, now he could only resign himself to fate, and was ready to die.
Click!
The high temperature and white strong light above his head is no more, but instead of a dim light that can illuminate the whole room, after a burst of footsteps from far and near, someone held a cup of cold water with a straw in it, handed it to his mouth, Shi Xun weakly held the straw, sucked it up, and suddenly felt that his physical strength was being fully recovered......
After a glass of water quickly drained, Shi Xun slowly raised his head, but found himself in a small empty room, the arched window opposite was nailed by wooden boards, and there was a neat row of single sofas under the windowsill, and there were three people sitting on it, one old and two young.
One of them was Payne, who was in charge of collecting student ID cards before. The other one who looked older, although he had a Mediterranean hairstyle, was also in a suit and leather shoes, and he looked very energetic.
As for the remaining young man, Shi Xun couldn't believe his eyes, it was actually Jack!
