Chapter 179: The Red Knife
Helena Blavatsky woke up.
"Here, it's ......"
In front of me was a closed room with no doors or windows.
[Helena: Will 85]
[Mrs. Megan, Chen Qiang: Will 80]
[Robin Selman, Qin Yat-sen, Erika Fujiwara: Will 75]
Six people lay on their stomachs at the table. Helena was the first of the crowd to wake up. Lawyer Selman, Qin Yat-sen, and Erika were still asleep, and Mrs. Megan and Chen Qiang were rubbing their eyes.
Come to think of it...... Helena thought. Chen Qiang agreed to his request, took out a full half dozen virtual helmets, and then all six people, including Chen Qiang, were teleported into the virtual world.
"My clothes?"
Helena found herself dressed in 19th-century aristocratic attire, as she had worn when she was a girl.
She glanced around, Qin Yat-sen was wearing a suit and leather shoes, Chen Qiang was wearing a T-shirt casual clothes, Robin Selman was wearing a strange blue formal suit, Mrs. Meghan (who had not become young) was wearing a British military uniform from World War II, and Erika Fujiwara was wearing a snow-white witch costume.
No...... It's not "everyone's clothes when you're young" or "everyone's favorite clothes".
It's clothing that is "related to your job". In this way, Fujiwara Erika was originally a shrine maiden of Toei's native Shinto, and Chen Qiang's work spirit is questionable...... BIquGe.biz
"Is the order of waking up related to the individual's mental power? Well, at least I'm the strongest. ”
The group sat around a hexagonal table, and in the center of the table was a bloodstained silver knife. Everyone has simple cutlery in front of them.
There is no need for any verification, and the square room has an unobstructed view.
Directly opposite Helena was a large bookshelf, a quaint bookshelf filled with large books in red and black skins; On the left-hand side, an open cupboard is full of bottles and cans; In the corner on the right is an octopus-shaped altar with a mutilated skeleton of an unrecognizable animal, and a hungry and thirsty golden retriever whose breath remains; On the wall hung a painting depicting a girl who was at most thirteen or fourteen years old.
The whole room has been decorated in a simple western style, simple and decent.
"Escape room?" Helena glanced at the crumpled parchment note pressed under the dinner plate.
"One of you has been replaced by me.
If you kill one person with a sacrificial sword, the others will survive.
After an hour, everyone is still alive, and there will be no survivors.
Please me as much as you like.
Enjoy the feast. 】
"Heh......"
…… Useless provocation, Helena thought.
This occultist has seen a lot of wind and waves, and the secret room where "you can escape as long as you meet the conditions" can't frighten her!
In the seats not far away, Chen Qiang and Mrs. Meghan also regained consciousness. Qin Yat-sen, Erika Fujiwara, and Robin Selman slowly propped themselves up from the table.
"It's not funny at all." Mrs. Meghan's face was low and frightening.
"Werewolf killing?" Chen Qiang turned his head to read the note, but immediately frowned at the smell of the glass of "red wine".
"Huh? It's not the New Year......" Erika Fujiwara rubbed her eyes in confusion.
"We got into it...... Counterfeit goods......" Qin Yixian chattered.
"Do we have to play by the rules of the game?" Lawyer Selman struggled to squeeze out a smile, "Maybe we can ...... Think of something else? ”
The blood stains on the hilt of the knife were fresh, and the disgusting smell was as if what was in front of everyone was not a blood-stained knife, but a whole bowl of blood soup.

[Sanity loss 1D3=1]
"Am I the only one who feels disgusting?" Chen Qiang frowned.
The six looked at each other. It seems that the five people except Chen Qiang are used to seeing terrifying pictures, and a single bloody knife can't scare them.
"Oh, it's a full hour." Helena said lazily.
……
In this life, she reused the name "Helena Petrovna", and now she prefers to be called Helena by others than the famous "Madame Blavatsky".
In the world of the Is, they also refer to themselves by this name. In her "previous life", she was forced to marry a man she didn't love and was given his surname. In the 19th century, divorce was difficult, but now, on the contemporary earth, no one can deprive herself of the way she calls herself.
There has been an explosion in human technology. But for Helena, who has witnessed the technology of the Is, this is nothing.
She has an innate talent for evoking respect and affection from all kinds of people.
She is also capable of hypnotism and divination, and despite the many restrictions (such as the position of the moon and stars), she has gained the trust of many in power with this "craft".
After returning to human society, Helena spent ten years rebuilding her organization in India, and then slowly expanding into Europe.
Helena never saw the "N-Network" as her competitors, working in the secular sector, and they differed from her in their pursuits and behaviors.
The same is true of the "green delta" of the American continent. The "N-Network" and the "Green Delta" pretentiously want to save humanity from the so-called "unspeakable threat". They may be noble in character, but for Helena, these people are completely wrong about the point and the method of things.
In 1888, Helena was distraught by the ongoing poaching of the Golden Dawn, and in order to stop her subordinates from flowing to the Golden Dawn, Helena established the Theosophical Society's Occult Division, and forbade any member of her Theosophical Society from joining other occult societies. But in the end, she relented and maintained a mutually tolerant relationship with "Golden Dawn".
Today's "Golden Dawn" has long lost its glory. Even Helena seriously considered whether to help them and help them recover the lost knowledge.
For Helena, a master of occultism who has lived for three centuries, only the "Oath Project", an organization that seems to be very similar to the "Green Delta", but actually acts extremely secretively, can arouse her a little interest. So when Chen Qiang suddenly rose, she was full of curiosity about this mysterious Oriental man and his company.
Qin Yat-sen and Mrs. Megan decided that Chen Qiang was from Is, but Helena knew that he was not. There was a real Isis among his employees, but Helena felt that the Iss was also obedient in front of Chen Qiang.
Only by personally experiencing Chen Qiang's skills can we truly feel Chen Qiang's ability.

She wasn't in great shape today, but she was still looking at everyone with a strong spirit.
Who is it?
