Chapter 17: Dual Talent Ability Controller?!
Between the tables in the dinner hall, Higashinohara walked back and forth with a tray.
Wherever he needed to, his eyes kept looking around the villa, and finally his eyes fell on the marble escalator that led to the second floor.
He probably walked around all the corners of the first floor tonight, and he didn't find a place to hide people, if the disappearance of Nishimaru Miri was really related to this villa, then there was a high probability that he hadn't had a chance to go up to the second or third floor to investigate.
Thinking of this, Higashinohara retracted his gaze and continued to be a quiet waiter.
He knew very well that if Nishimaru Miri was really trapped here, then his biggest reliance to save her was the "mission buff" of 50 free attribute points.
What does it feel like to increase one of your attributes by 50 points all at once? Of course, Higashinohara, which is 0.1+↑ on weekdays, has not experienced it.
But in the past two days, every time Higashinohara increased by 0.1 attribute points, he felt that his body was obviously stronger and lighter.
Then it is not difficult to imagine that adding five hundred times more terrifying attributes to [Agility], [Strength], [Constitution] and any other attributes will definitely bring an increase that is beyond his expectations.
The problem is that this "mission buff" is only 30 minutes, which is about the same as "five seconds of real man", so if Higashinohara wants to save people, he must quickly and ruthlessly seize the right time.
Now, it's not the time.
......
In the melodious violin, this "musical dinner" soon came to an end.
The guests stopped eating and talking and sat quietly, patiently waiting for what would happen after the dinner, and the waiters like Higashinohara were called to the dressing room of the villa.
A man with a strong figure and a leopard print mask on his face is settling their salaries for tonight, not by name, but directly in line.
In fact, they didn't even register their names during the afternoon training, and the organizers didn't know whether they trusted them too much, or trusted their own strength too much, and no one dared to cheat.
From three o'clock to eight o'clock, 50,000 yen for five hours, which is almost equivalent to half a month's salary for a part-time job at a convenience store, and the dozen or so waiters who got the money were very satisfied.
"That's it! My dear friends, change your clothes and leave,"
The man in the leopard print mask chuckled, turned and left, looking like he had something else to do.
As soon as the steward left, the atmosphere in the locker room became lively.
"Tsk! The hourly wage was so high, I thought it was very demanding, but it didn't seem like much. ”
"That's right, I just wanted to clean up the dining table, but I didn't expect this cheetah-headed supervisor to call us all over and pay our salaries and leave, and I will have more part-time jobs like this in the future."
"Hahaha, you think beautifully, haven't you seen those cars outside tonight, many of them are limited editions, and you don't see as many as you did tonight in ten years."
"Shhhhh That's right, eh! You said.... These rich people don't leave after eating, what are they going to do next? ”
"Who can say anything about your circle, but... It's not going to be X's messing around, hehe..."
"Hey, hey, hey..."
Higashinohara couldn't help twitching the corners of his eyes when he heard the small talk between the two boys, but he still lowered his head and slowly arranged his clothes, looking not in a hurry at all.
......
Ten minutes later, the part-time workers left the locker room one after another, and Higashinohara listened to the movement in the hall outside, quietly changed into his usual clothes, and put on the dark gold dragonfly mask again.
He made a detour out of the dressing room, and naturally walked from the direction of the bathroom to a table in the hall, and then pulled out the extra empty seat and sat down.
Sensing the movement, the eyes of the other seven masked visitors suddenly fell on Higashinohara, who was wearing a dragonfly mask, and looked this uninvited guest up and down.
After a while, some people groaned, some people smiled at the corners of their mouths, and they all chose to hang high on their own business.
After all, no matter what the identity of Higashinohara who suddenly appeared at this table was, as guests attending this mysterious dinner for the first time, they had no reason to put their beaks in their beaks.
As for the host of the banquet ...
I'm afraid no one would have thought that such an inconsequential little role as a temporary waiter would actually transform into a guest and sit on the table after receiving the salary.
Not long after the scene of Higashinohara taking a seat, the door of the villa was suddenly closed, and everyone was attracted to attention and felt at the same time.
The drama is about to begin...
Sure enough, a man in a white lab coat and a fox mask on his face walked up and said in a hoarse and magnetic voice.
"Welcome, good evening."
"Then the next step is the [exhibition] that we have carefully prepared for each guest."
As the words fell, the golden wall behind the man in the fox mask suddenly changed color, and then parted to the sides, and an elevator leading to the underground appeared.
......
It turned out to be a basement.
At the dinner table, Higashinohara withdrew his gaze from the escalator leading to the second floor.
Many of the first-time guests to the dinner had the word "exhibition" in their mouths and thoughtful expressions on their faces.
Subsequently, everyone took the elevator to the second basement floor in batches.
Higashinohara's table is the fourth batch.
After getting out of the elevator, he found that there was a hole in the ground of this villa, the lights illuminated the underground as if it were day, and the space was also very spacious, with a stage and a red curtain in front of it.
"Say it's an exhibition? What about the exhibits? ”
"Tsk, are you still playing mystery?"
"It's all here, let's see what tricks they play."
“......”
Many dignitaries with respected status are patient and waiting for the organizer's next move.
However, at some point, a rare middle-aged man without a mask appeared on the stage, he was short and fat, and his appearance and temperament were very similar to those of a common business manager in the workplace.
"Ahem... Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, I am Masaten Kusao, the president of Sigmund International Trade in New Tokyo, and many people may not know me. ”
Speaking of this, the man who called himself Kusao Masaten paused, and said with a smile full of charity and peace, "So... Some of you may have heard of another name of mine, which used to be called by many people in New Tokyo - Rattlesnake. ”
The moment the last three words of the man's words fell, the crowd on the second basement floor suddenly fell silent, and it was almost audible that the pins fell.
Then there was a commotion.
"Huh? Have you ever heard the name? ”
"Shhhhh Rattlesnake? Couldn't it be the trafficker tycoon of the underground black market in New Tokyo ten years ago? ”
"I heard that he was a sixth-order superpower back then, and his talent was the high-risk ability [Rattlesnake] of Sequence 35, and he controlled all human trafficking activities in Tokyo, and the Metropolitan Police Department once dispatched a large number of police forces but failed to catch him."
"I remember the news report that in the end, the 'King Kongo' of the Third Investigation Group, Tokugawa Kuritora, came out to arrest him with his own hands, and he was sentenced to life imprisonment during the court trial."
"Life imprisonment? So how did he end up here? ”
“......”
Hearing the discussion of the people around him, Kusao Masaten showed a satisfied smile on his face, clapped his hands and said with a smile:
"Now that everyone recognizes me, you can rest assured about the professionalism of our exhibition tonight, and then I will bring you our No. 001 [exhibits]."
As the words fell, the stage next to him suddenly made a "click" sound, and a huge square covered with black cloth rose from under the stage into everyone's eyes.
Seeing this scene, in connection with the former identity of Masao Draft, many people present had a vague guess in their hearts, but no one proposed to leave.
In fact, as the elite of various countries in the world, I have never seen any exhibitions on weekdays.
After receiving this mysterious invitation, they traveled thousands of miles to the country of Wano, and I am afraid that only this scene in front of them can arouse the anticipation in their hearts.
Of course, not everyone is like that.
In the crowd, Asuka Taitogawa, who was wearing a little raccoon mask, stomped on the upper of Kotaro Matsudaira next to him, and said through gritted teeth:
"What surprise? That's what you call an after-dinner surprise? ”
Kotaro Matsudaira suddenly bared his teeth.
But others were also a little confused, scolding their friend in their hearts for being unreliable, and not saying anything in advance if there was such prohibited content after the dinner, and quickly clearing up the relationship in their mouths, they were definitely not that kind of person.
Just when the crowd was in a commotion, the elevator on the stage stopped, and the huge iron cage covered by a black cloth stopped steadily on the stage.
On the stage, Kusao Masaten didn't sell anything, and raised his hand with a smile to uncover the black cloth, and the first thing that caught everyone's eye was a huge iron cage, and the transparent life support cabin in the iron cage was horizontally swinging.
There was a five- or six-year-old blonde girl lying in the life support cabin, her delicate little face was as pale as paper, her eyes were closed, she was wearing a collar around her neck, and her body was full of dozens of infusion needles and medical instruments.
The little girl seemed to be undergoing some unknown change in her body, and even the pale little face in her sleep flashed with painful struggles from time to time, and she didn't know what kind of nightmare she was experiencing.
On the monitor screen, the extremely erratic heart rate and other bodily functions are monitored silently - the girl's current physical condition is not optimistic.
In the crowd, Higashinohara, who was wearing a dragonfly mask, suddenly clenched his pupils unconsciously like pins and needles when he saw the little girl, and then slowly took a deep breath.
As for the magnates of various countries standing here, many people are puzzled at this time.
A seriously ill little girl?
Is it worth waiting so long for them to suppress their curiosity?
Someone in front of the crowd just wanted to open his mouth to question, but Kusao Masaten looked at him with a smile, and his eyes turned to everyone again, and the voice spread to every corner of the second basement floor.
"Here's what I would like to introduce to you:
Today's No. 001 [exhibit] is likely to become the world's extremely rare compatibility of dual innate abilities, the former is the spiritual ability of talent sequence 28 [Di Ting], and the latter is the talent sequence 45 power system ability [Wang Yu], I believe everyone can also see that it is obvious that No. 001 has passed the life and death hurdle of "compatibility" that countless capable people still dream of. ”
Dual-gifted abilities?
Everyone in the audience suddenly buzzed and discussed.
Coming here, there was no one who didn't understand the meaning of the dual natural ability, and the face under the mask was full of wordless shock.
On the stage, Masato Kusao looked at the sensational effect created by the opening of the exhibition with a very satisfied face, and then he shrugged his shoulders again, pressed his hands down and waited until the scene was quiet, and the CIA said in a very frank tone:
"Of course, I have to warn everyone... Our No. 001 [exhibit] is only a [semi-finished product] at present, and the premise of success is that she can wake up and stabilize in the collision of the two abilities in her body with congenital heart disease. ”
"So now...
Pre-sale of our [exhibits] begins.
starting price,
Well... ¥100. ”
