Chapter 28: If you want to go, you will go
Bai Shaobao and Shi Li's side.
"What are you doing?" Bai Shaobao watched curiously as Shi Li groped in the pocket of the unconscious man who was tied hand and foot.
"Find an invitation," said Shi Li, "lest anyone trouble me then." ”
"That's why you're skipping work in the open?"
"I'm a gamer."
"Well said," Bai Shaobao praised, "then did you find it?" ”
"Yes," Shi Liyang raised the envelope in her hand, "Now please go upstairs, I remember that there is a women's clothing store in the business plaza on the second floor of the hotel, and I want to change into new clothes." ”
"Do you think the NPCs won't be able to see their bartender touching the fish?"
"Put on more glasses."
"Yes, I'm speechless," Bai Shaobao thought that the NPC still had vision, but he decided not to refute Shi Li, "but I don't have that much cash......"
"You have a credit card, right? Brush it up. ”
"Yes, there are ......"
"Do you still care about whose money is between players?" Shi Li spread her hands, "Moreover, does it make sense for you to save money for this status?" ”
"Also, Xiao Tu was also smashed into a bumblebee."
Bai Shaobao left in a chattering voice.
And Shi Li, who stayed where she was and had nothing to do, opened the envelope with the invitation letter.
Take out the invitation letter from the envelope.
The name of the recipient was not written on the letterhead, and the text of the letter was only a few words.
[Dear friends,
It is my pleasure to inform you that you have been invited to attend the launch of The Curse of the Hanged King on Friday, the 13th of next month. The launch will take place on the outskirts of Cardiff, Building A of the Earls of Glamorgan. You can bring up to three friends with you.
Camila awaits your game in distant Iti.
Hideki Yoshikawa】
“……”
The time and place of the press conference are indicated, and the rest of the press seems to be printed, except for Hideki Yoshikawa's signature in the lower right corner, which is handwritten. There is also a yellow stamp next to the signature, with three twisted lines reaching out to the middle.
Perhaps because of the deliberate intention to create a terrifying atmosphere, the corners of the letter paper have a faint, bloodstained red.
Shi Li felt a chill for no reason.

"Obviously a native of Dongying, but he signed in English," Shi Li shook her head, diverting her attention from the letter, "What kind of secondary two diseases can spell 'Yingshu' into 'Wocht'?" ”
She folded the letter and put it in her pocket. I don't know if it's her delusion, she feels colder around her than she was just now.
"This damn staircase." Shi Li muttered.
Such a modern hotel, the whole place is full of dust and musty smell - what are the cleaners doing? It's time to clean up!
……
Sister Qiu and Tu Lizhu.
Have you read it? 】
"Xiao Tu, say no!" Sister Qiu noticed that the question "Have you read the invitation" itself was weird, and hurriedly dissuaded it.
"I ......"
Tu Lizhu thought for a moment.
"I don't know, my character Christina Tu, if she thinks she already knows the contents of the letter, it's not uncommon for her not to read it." She made up a reason that she thought was right.

The "Secret Keeper" stopped talking, leaving only Sister Qiu and Xiao Tu staring wide-eyed.
"Am I saying something wrong?" Xiao Tu looked innocent.
"No, that's fine......" Sister Qiu is also full of question marks, can there be a pit in just an invitation letter?
In this case, at least a quarter of the guests present have already fallen into this pit!
"We can't wait any longer," Sister Qiu said, "Come Xiao Tu and help me...... Let's go to the banquet hall. ”
"However, Chen Qiang told us to ......"
"Leave him alone. Oh, why can't you tell me? If you want to go, you go! ”
……
Ten minutes later.
luxuriously decorated in the ballroom.
Guests were staggered, and the topic was not far from Yingshu's upcoming new tour.
Sending Xiao Tu to collect information, Sister Qiu's gaze drifted among the guests.
The conversation of the guests couldn't help but reach her ears—
"It should be a full-platform work."
"But I've heard it's an exclusivity."
"Ying Shujun's temper, which manufacturer can he give it a monopoly?"
"The name of the new protagonist is Camilla. It's the heroine. ”
"The first heroine game produced by Hideki Yoshikawa...... Ah, I'm looking forward to it......"
"Do you think the old thief Yoshikawa can give you a cute heroine? You're thinking too much. ”
"Mouth, dare you bet on ......"
…… The topic gradually became vulgar. But it's such a topic that makes Sister Qiu gradually relax.
Even if they are dressed in formal attire, most of these people are just ordinary game fans, and they are the same kind of people as the sailors in their own live broadcast room. The atmosphere of the banquet hall is harmonious and relaxed.
"I want to be calm. I'm going to beat this game, not a game. ”
"I'm not here to enjoy the food...... Hmmm......"
Staring at the plate of apple pie in front of her, Sister Qiu hesitated.
This is a virtual world, Sister Qiu warned herself. Even if you eat here, you can't fill your stomach in real life.
Just a sweet tooth, of course I'm Fluttershy......
It's so fragrant.
Sister Qiu only held out for five seconds before surrendering.
Hue!
Fragrant!
Taste!
Perfect taste!
Sure enough, the complete infiltration technique is invincible! With this technology, you can become the richest man in the world just by opening a restaurant without making games!
"Sister Qiu!" Tu Lizhu ran over excitedly, waving two pamphlets in her hands, "I got the brochure!" Hey, what are you doing? ”
She remembered very well that Sister Qiu had told her to find a brochure for the game and a brochure for the hotel, but she must not touch half a bite of the food here.
"I didn't ...... "Sister Qiu swallowed the contents of her mouth, "I'm just admiring the oil paintings." ”
She gestured to the hanging picture hanging directly above the ballroom. The painting depicts a palace perched on the shores of a lake, with two satellites suspended from the palace's towering spire.
"Huh? I don't think it's a good painting, and it doesn't deserve the grade of this hotel. Tu Lizhu expressed her opinions from a professional perspective.
"Anyway, we got the two booklets, and you did a good job," Sister Qiu quickly diverted the topic, "Have you seen Chen Qiang?" ”
Tu Lizhu shook her head: "No." ”
"Neither do I," said Sister Qiu, "and it seems that he ran away on his own." ”
The main line of the game is undoubtedly to participate in the press conference of Hideki Yoshikawa. Now, three of the five players have deviated from the main line, and only themselves and Xiao Tu are still holding on.
"You come to study the hotel's album," Sister Qiu instructed, "Is there a floor plan?" ”
"Yes."
"Find a ...... for us No, two different escape routes in the event of an emergency. ”
"Escape?" Xiao Tu was puzzled.
"Well," said Sister Qiu, "the one who smashed the corpse from the air to ......"
She shuddered violently—remembering the scene still made her uncomfortable.
"That murderer, he is likely to commit the crime again," Sister Qiu said succinctly, "When the time comes, there may be a bigger stir, and then fall into the mode of 'chasing the battle'." ”
After more than half an hour of calming down, Sister Qiu had already figured it out.
The murderer of the middle-aged man, and the shadow he saw in the night, flashed by, were mostly a terrifying creature similar to a "gargoyle".
This is also the mastermind behind their current deal.
"Huh? Is that the case? ”
"It's only a 20-minute drive from the city. You don't think this kind of environment would make a Blizzard Villa mode, right? Sister Qiu smiled.
"Oh," Xiao Tu seemed to understand, "What about you, Sister Qiu?" ”
"I'll study the game brochure," said Sister Qiu, "I have a hunch that the secrets of the murder and the events that will happen next are hidden in it." ”
She flipped through the brochure that introduced The Curse of the Hanged King. It seems that this slim booklet was first published today.
There is no portrait of the heroine...... What a pity...... Does Hideki Yoshikawa plan to hide until the moment the trial starts......
There are portraits of monsters......
"Ordinary Zombie ......"
"What is this? The face resembles a skeleton, and the lower part resembles an octopus...... It's disgusting......"
"What's this? Interstellar Bat Monster? ”
