Chapter 58: The Mask of Darkness
However, just behind the heavy black iron door, I saw a rather spacious rotunda inside, and in the middle of the hall was a large circular table, and around the table were six chairs arranged in the shape of a "six-pointed star".
There are no windows or ceilings in this hall, only a few oil lamps scattered around the area flickering dimly, making this room a little gloomy even during the day, and the whole atmosphere can be said to be quite heavy, and people can't help but feel awe of this place.
"Geldridge, are you going to get off the hook?"
At this time, the atmosphere around the round table can be said to be a little tense, the man with the "Wind Pattern Mask" sitting on the left, the "Wind Mask" Feather Crane Ryu stared angrily at the host not far away, and the "Sky Mask" Gelldridge with the "Heavenly Mask" glared angrily.
"Nonsense! This is obviously my research results, why should I share it with you? Take me for a fool?"
After hearing Yuheliu's questioning, Gelldridge, who had been wearing a mask, roared back fearlessly in a strange hoarse voice.
For Galdridge, one of the issues just now really made him feel very unhappy, that is, this group of people did not know where they learned about many of the projects they were working on in so many underground research institutes in the Western Regions, and they actually wanted to come and get a piece of the pie?
"Shit, what do you do with your research? If you can contribute it, we might be able to blame you for the past, or don't ask us to wipe your ass if something happens in the future." ”
As he spoke, he almost slapped the table, if it weren't for the fact that there was a big man in a black robe and a "shadow mask" on his face sitting above the two of them, it is estimated that he would have to fight Gaildridge on the spot.
"You mean you have to target me?" said Gelldridge's hoarse voice.
"So what? You don't have to be afraid to admit it. Although others may be afraid of this desert land emperor, Yu Heliu didn't give him any face at all.
To tell the truth, in fact, Yuheliu has always wondered whether Galdridge's underground research is related to the "pseudo-god incident" that caused Ludwig to remain unconscious in the "Sea City" half a year ago.
So he took this opportunity to take the initiative to raise the matter of the underground research of this "mask of heaven" at this meeting, and asked the latter to make his research results public in the name of "Huang Quan".
At first glance, Featherfish's request seems a bit unreasonable, after all, Gelldridge's research was his own painstaking work, so why should it be made public to other members?
"It stands to reason that there is no need to share your personal income with us, but unfortunately, when you conducted these studies, you used the name of "Yellow Springs" as a cover many times, which is not a good thing for our organization, shouldn't this be compensated?"
At this time, the old man with the "Thunder Mask" on his face sitting opposite Geldridge, Andre the "Mask of Thunder", made a gloomy voice, and judging from his tone, it was as if he had discovered some interesting little secret.
That's right, "Grand Patriarch" Andre, the second-in-command of the "Healing Church", he is actually one of the six leaders of the "Yellow Springs".
I have to say that Andre's identity is indeed complicated enough, he is a person who "heals the church" on the surface, and secretly he is a person from "Yellow Springs", but in fact he is not even a person but a "king", which is even more multi-agent than multiple agents......
It's just that André clearly has a stronger sense of reverence for the man sitting at the top than the other members, because he is one of the few people who knows the true identity of "that adult......
"Hey, hey, man, if you didn't use the name of our "Yellow Spring" when you did those things in the first place, wouldn't there be so many things?"
At this time, the man sitting at the bottom with the "sword pattern mask" on his face, the "sword mask" Zorro let out a gloating laugh, as if he was laughing at this stupid man.
Damn it...... This group of bastards, their eyes light up when they see something good, and they are usually well-dressed, and they are more greedy than anyone else at this time.
Seeing that among the five people present, except for the "Dark Mask", who had been silent, did not speak, and the other three were very unanimous in wanting to take something out of their hands, Galdridge couldn't help but curse fiercely in his heart.
However, although Gildridge is very tough, he knows in his heart that this time he will probably have to let some blood to pass the test, but it is just the difference between letting more and letting go less.
After all, there is actually an unwritten rule in the "Yellow Springs" that if you act in the name of an "individual", then of course all the benefits obtained belong to the individual, but if you act in the name of an "organization", the other five other high-level officials all have the right to get a piece of the pie.
Don't look at Gelldridge's hegemony in the "Western Regions", but he also knows that many people in the "Ancient Capital of Sharo" have always been extremely wary of themselves, so when carrying out those research projects, they actually used the "Yellow Springs" as a springboard to a certain extent......
"Okay, don't argue, let's stop here, let's get back to business. ”
Just as everyone was arguing about the "sharing of the fruit", a gloomy-sounding voice suddenly came from the top of the table.
When the voice sounded, the noise that had surrounded the round table immediately disappeared, after all, everyone including Geldridge, Featherwater, and Andre actually had varying degrees of awe for the owner of the voice, only Zorro had an incomprehensible smile on his face.
The person who suddenly spoke was naturally the black-robed man who had been listening to their arguments, but it seemed that he couldn't listen to them since a certain time, was the founder and "big leader" of "Yellow Springs", "Dark Mask".
Judging from his appearance, he has a delicate "shadow mask" on his face, and from his posture, he seems to be a tall and thin adult man, but from his not burly body, there is a great oppressive force, and even Gelldridge feels a little uncomfortable in front of him.
"Dark Mask", although most people have never heard of this name, but for those who know this name, this man with unknown real body but extraordinary strength and extremely domineering behavior can simply be described as "legendary big man". 2k reading web
