Bai Shaobao hurried back to the underground.

Before you know it, the hour hand is already pointing to half past seven. It wasn't until he stood at the door of the women's clothing store that Bai Shaobao reacted-

This is the first time I've helped a girl pick out clothes! I really didn't expect that the first time I bought clothes for a woman was in a virtual game!

[Bai Shaobao's lucky test 98/15 major failure]

“…… It's annoying. ”

The clerk's conscientiousness, chatter and gossip that did not resemble NPCs made Bai Shaobao feel that he had lost at least 10 points of his sanity.

Where do I know Shi Li's measurements! Asking this kind of question will kill you!

As a result, after knocking over the shelves once, and enduring the ridicule of two passers-by for ten minutes in a row, it took a total of more than three times as much time as expected, Bai Shaobao chose clothes for Shi Li and rushed back to the ground in a panic.

[Bai Shao's belt penalty value investigation verification 89/55 failed]

In a hurry, he hurried past the door of the hotel's souvenir shop, not noticing that on the commemorative oil painting of the hotel's opening for sale, the face of the chairman of the hotel had just seen him an hour ago.

……

in the banquet hall.

"Ahh Tu Lizhu, who was flipping through the hotel's brochure, suddenly exclaimed, causing many guests to look back at her, "Sister Qiu! Look at this! ”

"Shh Sister Qiu glanced at her dissatisfied, was she happy to shout in front of the NPC and be embarrassed?

"What do you see...... Hmmm......"

Following Xiao Tu's fingers, Sister Qiu saw a photo on the last page of the brochure.

It was a middle-aged man with a round face, wearing a gray trench coat and a top hat, with an indifferent smile on his face, as if he had come out of a historical picture. He stood on the lawn of the hotel with a short-handled cane, and could see the towering central observation tower behind him.

The small print below the photo reads.

[Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Earl Hotel in Glamorgan - Mr. Chambers. 】

“……”

The face with blood marks on his face and his eyes gouged out once again appeared in front of Sister Qiu.

Mr. Chambers's body.

[Realize the identity of the deceased who once gave you a psychological shadow, SC0/1]

"So the deceased ...... Is the owner of the hotel? Xiao Tu asked weakly.

"It's indeed him," Sister Qiu read the brochure carefully, "The boss has been killed, and the staff here didn't react at all......"

"It's really weird." Xiao Tu shuddered.

"The Earl of Glamorgan," Sister Qiu said, looking at the brochure, "was originally known as the Itti Night Palace Hotel, which went bankrupt in the eighties due to poor management, and then began to be rebuilt in the nineties, and was built for more than ten years, with the generosity of Mr. Chambers, a descendant of one of the Earls of Glamorgan in history, to finally complete the construction, and the current design of the hotel is entirely his ......"

"Sister Qiu......"

"Xiao Tu, hurry up Qiandu, no, this is from the United Kingdom, Goya will search for ......"

"It's already searching!" Tu Lizhu, who was sweating profusely, looked down at her phone, "This Mr. Chambers does not have a wiki, but there is a lot of news about him, and it is basically a ...... in art patronage."

"Art? What kind of art? ”

"Everything. You see, traditional publishing houses, theater actors, painters, ballet troupes, symphony orchestras, seal carvers, film screenwriters, architects, ......"

"It's all traditional art forms." Sister Qiu thinks that this Mr. Chambers is rich and capricious.

"No, there's a ......," Xiao Tu kept scrolling down the news, "it was ten years ago." Mr. Chambers sponsored a down-and-out video game producer, and his new title was a huge success......"

"Is that—"

"Hideki Yoshikawa."

"It's not going to be a coincidence."

"There's still ...... down there," Xiao Tu found that there was another page behind the news.

Suddenly—

The lights in the banquet hall suddenly went dark. A slightly sad music came from the speakers, as if mourning something, and the big screen on the other side of the hall lit up at the right time.

【Alice Autumn Music Theory Skill Test 45/51 Success】

"Irik Chuduk......" Sister Qiu judged that the BGM is not a fictional music of the game, but a tune that exists in the real world, "an elegy for the Tuvans." ”

"Yingshu's encyclopedia mentions that this is his favorite appearance music...... Xiao Tu remembered the information he got when Sister Qiu lost her mind.

"Ladies and gentlemen......"

A shrill male voice rang out. The fans cheered, and this was naturally Hideki Yoshikawa.

"Won't it?" Sister Qiu was shocked, "It's only half past seven!" The press conference is not ...... at eight o'clock."

"Games are art," said Hideki Yoshikawa's high-pitched voice in the darkness, "literature, painting, sculpture, architecture, music, dance, theater, film...... And our beloved, the wonderful ninth art, the game! And above these nine arts, the true crown of art – our lives themselves! ”

Xiao Tu and Sister Qiu no longer bothered to complain about whether he was a pretend man, and under the spotlight, this medium-sized young man was wearing a white suit and slowly walked to the front of the big screen.

"My friends," Hideki Yoshikawa bowed, "art is amorphous, something that cannot be described in words. I am honored to tell you...... Our launch will start half an hour earlier. ”

There was thunder of joy. Hideki Yoshikawa waited for everyone to be quiet.

"At the same time, I solemnly welcome my family and friends, who have also made important contributions to Curse of the Hanged King and my gaming career, to join me on stage."

"First of all, my sister - Sayoko Yoshikawa. She is the prototype of the heroine of "The Curse of the Hanged King", and she also gave motion capture and voice acting to Camilla, oh, Camilla in the game, ......"

"Writing 'Sayoko', pronounced as 'Camilla'," Xiao Tu, who had checked the encyclopedia, reminded Sister Qiu in a low voice, "Just like my brother writes 'Yingshu' and reads it as 'Walchert'." ”

When Sayoko, a skinny girl in a black low-cut dress and a short skirt, walked in front of the big screen, the cheers were even louder than when Hideki appeared on the stage.

And then ...... It's my friend...... I'm so happy, he's my best friend, I thought I'd never see him again in my life, but ...... Or let's welcome ......"

"My most loyal and friendly friend—" Hideki Yoshikawa's voice suddenly raised an octave.

"-Chen Qiang!"

Sister Qiu: "Σ(っ°Д°; )っ”

Xiao Tu: "????? ”

In the shocked eyes of Sister Qiu and Xiao Tu, Chen Qiang, who had a typical Chinese face, still wore that cheap suit and appeared in the spotlight.

Fans (black question mark): "Dude, who are you ......"

Drowned out by the suspicion of "who is he", Chen Qiang ignored everyone's complicated eyes and walked straight to Yingshu and Sayoko.
