Chapter 280: Gluttony
Weird hijacking, weird moves, weird words. What was just broadcast on the news diluted the New Year's festivities and cast a shadow of unease over the entire city.
In front of the TV, KK covered his mouth in shock: "Oh my God, is that person mentally ill?" β
Su Mo looked at the replay of the picture, a trace of gloom appeared in his eyes, and after thinking about it, he said in a deep voice: "Shangguan, don't you think that this thing is very similar to what 'those people' did?" β
Shangguan Li squinted his eyes and said faintly: "Like, very similar." β
KK asked suspiciously, "Those people?" Who are you talking about? β
Shangguan Li and Su Mo said in unison: "Fools." β
"Fools?" KK had never heard the name and seemed a little confused.
Su Mo explained, "The Fool's Society is a mysterious club in Crescent City, and its members are all elite members of the upper class. β
"They are a group of extreme fun people, and there is only one purpose in forming the Fool's Association, which is to unite and share each other's social resources to have fun."
KK: "Le Zi people are like Chu Nanyi?" β
Su Mo said helplessly: "Xiao Chu is not a happy person. Well, let's count it half, but it's still different. β
"Although compared to normal people, Xiao Chu is quite good at playing, but compared with fools, he is simply too clear."
"The members of the Fool's are outright hellish fungiards, who do things to the extreme, and will do whatever it takes to have fun."
"I don't know if you have any impressions, but at the end of last year, there was a large-scale shootout in the Rusty Wall area, where 50 civilians with guns and grenades ate chickens on the street."
"That's what the Fools were behind the scenes, and they found fifty civilians who were desperate because of economic problems, and promised a huge sum of money to let them go out into the streets and kill each other, and the one who won in the end could take all the money."
KK's eyes widened and he said, "I've seen movies with similar themes, and those rich people will lock up a lot of people in one place to play death games." β
Su Mo nodded: "Yes, but this fool will be even more awesome, they don't arrest people and play secretly, but play directly in front of the public, just to be stimulated." β
"I remember that none of the 50 civilians survived in the end, and they were slaughtered by the Fourth Anti-Riot Division that rushed in. This matter was on the hot search at the time, and later all related topics were removed by mysterious forces. β
Shangguan Li added: "There was another incident the year before last, which we in the industry also thought that a fool would do. β
"At that time, there was a father in the central hospital, and his 8-year-old daughter was suffering from a very serious genetic defect disease, and the treatment cost was tens of millions of yuan."
"The father was an ordinary man who couldn't afford it, so the fool would find him and promise to pay for his daughter's treatment."
KK: "And then? What kind of perverted game did you trick him into playing again? β
Shangguan Li: "No, the fool will give out real money, and it is not borrowed, it is really directly funded, and there is no return for it, which moved the father to tears." β
KK asked dumbfoundedly, "Meaning, the Fool will also do good deeds?" β
Shangguan Li sneered: "I haven't finished yet." The fool will give money in stages, and more than 10 million will be given back and forth. β
"The girl was sponsored, received the best treatment, her condition was getting better day by day, and the father already saw hope for his daughter's recovery."
"But just at the most critical moment of treatment, the fool would suddenly cut off all the funds and deliberately make the girl's condition worse."
"The father saw his daughter get better, and he saw hope in his heart, and he watched her condition deteriorate, but there was nothing he could do."
"In the end, because she couldn't afford to continue the treatment, her daughter's body collapsed day by day, and she died in front of her father, he couldn't accept the gap, and committed suicide by jumping off the building."
KK was furious when he heard it: "This fool will be sick, right?!" What's in it for them to do this kind of thing?! β
Su Mo shook his head and said, "I said at the beginning, this is a group of extremely perverted hellish fun people, playing at any cost. As long as they have fun, they will do anything. β
"Take that sick girl as an example, the more than 10 million yuan that treated her at the beginning was a fool's real money and silver money, and there is no fake."
"At the end of the day, do you think the fool will get anything in return? No, the more than 10 million yuan was all lost, and not a single monthly coin was returned. β
"But they just thought it was too much fun, and it was too hard and too interesting to give hope to that father, and then to break him down, so they did it."
"This is the Fool's Society, and everything they do, just for a little bit, for funβfor what they think is fun."
KK frowned and said, "This group of people is really a complete pervert, I can't understand it at all"
Sumer: "It's incomprehensible, and don't try to understand. If you can match the brain waves with this group of people, then you should find a psychiatrist. β
KK asked puzzledly: "No one cares about this group of crazy people?" Committing such a heinous case, won't the Sheriff's Bureau pursue them? β
Su Mo smiled helplessly: "What do you think is the identity of a person who can casually take tens of millions of monthly coins out to have fun?" β
"As I said before, this is a club made up of a group of elites from the upper echelons of society, and they are the real power in this city."
"Not to mention letting the Public Security Bureau investigate, it's hard to imagine that some of the big leaders of the Public Security Bureau are themselves members of the Society of Fools, and there are even people from giant enterprises in them, and the Public Security Bureau can't control them at all."
Shangguan Li also sighed and said: "So the cases that fools will commit are either to find the back-bearer or to deal with them coldly." β
KK couldn't help gritting his teeth: "It's really disgusting, if you have money and power, you can not treat people as human beings and play with other people's lives casually?!" β
Su Mo: "In this city, in this world, if you have money and power, you really can't treat people as people. β
He looked out the window at the tall buildings and said meaningfully, "At least until anyone changes all this, the world is like this." β
Several people were talking, Shangguan Li answered the phone, and after answering, he said, "I have an appointment later, so I will leave first." On the first day of the new year, be happy, don't be polluted by this unfortunate thing. β
"I'll send you." Su Mo followed Shangguan out of the door.
The two got off the elevator and came to the door of the building.
Shangguan Li turned around and said: "Okay, you go back, take a good look at KK, I think he has a strong ability to empathize, let him leave the fool's affairs alone, that's not what he should take care of, thinking too much will only make him depressed." β
Su Mo: "Well, the Fool has been in Crescent City for many years, and there is no point in being angry with this group of people, I will enlighten him." β
Shangguan Li waved goodbye to Su Mo, and muttered before leaving: "I just hope that the fool will not target the people around us, otherwise it will be troublesome."
On the night of the first day of the new year, people are gathering with their dearest friends, no exception.
An island in the central area of "Lake Island", the manor is full of top-of-the-line floating cars, and with the dazzling New Year's lights around it, it looks extremely luxurious.
The banquet hall of the main building is dim all around, and only the candlelight on the table lingers in a mysterious and elegant atmosphere.
More than twenty gentlemen and ladies dressed in sumptuous costumes gathered, wearing expensive jewels glittering in candlelight, and a grand feast was taking place.
The table was filled with a variety of delicacies, and delicacies were stacked on plates for each guest to take.
Unlike the dignified and elegant eating of the imagined upper-class people, they eat very wild and debauched.
A beautiful woman grabbed a whole roast duck on a plate without wearing a meal glove, held it in her hand and nibbled on it, the sauce was all over her face, and the oil juice was running down her chin.
A well-dressed gentleman cut off a steak and put it in his mouth to chew vigorously, his mouth opening as he chewed, making an unpleasant snorting sound.
An old man choked on a pastry, picked up a glass of wine and poured it violently, touched his stomach after drinking, and let out a loud burp.
No one blames, and no one resents the ugly appearance of others, because everyone does.
In the Society of Fools, the last thing you need is that sanctimonious disguise, and everyone can show the most primitive side of open-air sexuality.
The dinner took place in the midst of the revelry of the VIPs, who were no longer the socialites who were reserved in front of the television, but the beasts immersed in the food.
The food and wine were full, the movement at the table gradually subsided, and everyone's expressions were satisfied and relaxed.
The butler in a tuxedo walked out of the corner of the dining room, came to the man in the main seat, and asked politely, "Mr. Mammon, are you still satisfied with the dishes prepared by Ms. Shaya?" β
Mammon wiped the sauce off her mouth with a napkin, looked at everyone and smiled, "Why don't you speak?" Let's evaluate it together. β
Hearty laughter sounded among the guests, and one person said, "The president has tasted countless meals, you should judge first." β
"Shall I judge first?" Mammon looked at the beautiful woman who had just eaten roast duck and quipped, "I have a very big mouth, Lady Shaya, don't be surprised. β
Shaya smiled and said, "Please give me advice." β
Mammon cleared her throat and said slowly, "Then, according to the tasting process, let's start with the ingredients." β
"I don't think the ingredients are too fresh from the source, and I have seen too much, so I didn't bring me any surprise."
"The way of cooking, it seems to be just like that, everyone has eaten this way many times, and it is really a little greasy."
"As for the condiments. Oh my God, kidnapping parents and children as a threat, this kind of condiment is really hard to describe, I don't know how many people have tried it. β
In the end, he summed it up earnestly: "All in all, it's not that your dish is problematic, but it's too ordinary to eat anything new." It can only be said that it is a little satisfying. β
It can be seen that the relationship between these people is very harmonious, and everyone applauds the wonderful comments and the efforts of the "chef" Ms. Shaya.
Shaya was not embarrassed, and said humbly: "The younger generation has been taught, and I will definitely learn how to cook more from the president in the future." β
Mammun's hands were pressed weakly, and after the applause subsided, he said with a smile: "Today is the first day of the new year, and many people will go to the heights and look far away, which means that the new year will rise step by step. β
"In order to send the same blessing to everyone, I have specially prepared a dish today, and I want to cook it carefully for everyone."
As soon as they heard that the president was going to "cook" himself, everyone showed curious and surprised eyes and waited for the following.
"Smack, smack." Mammon high-fived him twice.
The housekeeper pressed the remote control in his hand, and a hologram began to play.
With a warm smile on her face, Mammon said, "First of all, let's take a look at the ingredients this time, you will definitely be pleasantly surprised." β
From the angle of the hologram, it can be seen that it was taken from a high altitude and processed with night vision imaging near a canyon waterfall.
Mammon: "This image was taken with our co-op's Apocalypse Star, can anyone recognize where this is?" β
After a moment of silence, an old man said, "This is Meteorite Falls, right?" β
"Yes, that's right, let's keep looking." Mammon motioned for the butler to zoom in.
The hologram image continues to zoom in and out without loss of clarity, a detail that silently reveals the technical prowess behind it.
The screen zooms in to the surface and focuses on the two men who are in a fierce confrontation.
One of the men was covered in broken prosthetics and wielded a fiery red blade.
The other was a woman, with white hair like snow, wearing a mask and holding a Tang knife.
Looking at the implanter, someone recognized: "Isn't this the one who is, it turns out that the Seven Stars, the one killed by the Death Omen, I can't remember what the name is." β
Mammon: "He doesn't matter, what matters is the one across from him." β
"White hair, masks, Tang knives, it's too obvious, this is silent death." Sha Ya pondered for a moment and asked tentatively: "Could it be her as the ingredient that the president said?" β
Mammon spread her hands and smiled, "How is it?" This ingredient is fresh enough, right? β
Shaya blinked, "However, we don't know who the Silent Death is. β
Mammon smiled mysteriously: "Then continue to look back." β
The housekeeper pressed the button, and the video continued to play.
This is the battle to exterminate the toothed tiger, Ou Chenyu and Nuo Bai at the top of the waterfall of the Meteor Canyon, and the battle is raging.
At a certain stage, Ou Chenyu slashed Nuobai's mask with a knife and cut it off.
The true face of the Silent Grim Reaper, which no one had ever seen, was finally revealed.
Clarity.
In front of the powerful technical power of the Apocalypse, it was so clear that you could even see the delicate iris lines in those beautiful eyes.
"Smack." Mammon high-fived again.
A profile was called up and presented in the frame.
It was the information that Nuo Bai kept on file with the Public Security Bureau as a citizen of Crescent City, including a front photo, name, address, work status and other personal information at a glance.
All of a sudden, the restaurant burst into laughter, and everyone applauded enthusiastically.
Mammon smiled, put a hand on his heart to express respect, and then pointed up to the ceiling: "This is a New Year's gift from the big leader. β
"Of course, everyone should share good things! On the first day of the new year, I dedicate this delicious ingredient to everyone! β
The applause echoed in the restaurant for a long time, and the guests who had just eaten and drunk were like insatiable gluttonies, their eyes full of hunger.
They spit out their fat tongues and lick the saliva from the corners of their mouths, anticipating the upcoming delicacy. (End of chapter)
