106. Think of it as a test
Chapter 107 106
All in all, Jenkins' story is very informative, but there are also many doubts.
For example, why did the other party let him go? Or is the indescribable and indescribable thing in the coffin still alive?
And, if that is also a transcendent member of the [Twisted] system, how did he get promoted under a series of suicidal demands?
And in the end, why is such a big event, so many people dead, and so many crazy, forgotten? And who destroyed the transcript?
Lloyd was curious about these questions, but I'm afraid even Jenkins himself didn't know the answers.
And he can't find the answer, the ruins are already occupied by monsters, and he shouldn't be able to go back.
But then again, why didn't there be monsters in that place before? Or even allow them to carry out archaeological digs for up to a year?
Is the monster not found there? Or is it ...... What are they afraid of?
Lloyd pondered in his mind and turned his attention to the future seminar.
Seeing that the Supreme One did not react to these stories, the four moved on to the next topic and began to discuss the aspect of spiritual ascension.
However, Lloyd listened for a while and found that between the lines, there were actually only two words:
No money......
After Jenkins was promoted to the fifth rank, because of some marital emotional problems, he was forced to come out and set up a small-scale civil archaeological association.
And his mentality is already completely rotten, and he is not very keen on the improvement of his strength, and the current 'Seminar on the Future of Mankind' is probably the only motivation for him to adhere to the path of transcendence, right?
Anyway, Lloyd didn't think he was a high-ranking powerhouse, but more like a disheartened loser.
Maybe it's because he was promoted to the fifth rank too late, right? The body is already old, but the life is still very long, which is really torturous......
As for Goldron, he is in a semi-official investigation team in the City of Order, an investigator responsible for dealing with all kinds of anomalous events, and his income is not high and there are not many things, so he is particularly short of money and is very uncomfortable being stuck by detachment materials.
But he still looks forward to reaching a high position in his own heart, at least not to waste this enviable talent.
Then there was Valdés, who was more gifted and smarter, but was distracted by mundane matters, and often had to deal with the troubles he called 'philistine', did not make much money, and wasted a lot of time.
However, his ambition is still very ambitious, not only to reach a high position, but also determined to carry forward the ancestral workshop, so he is more concerned about the things related to the great development and thinks that he should actively participate.
The last Elolo, who gave Lloyd the feeling that in addition to being afraid of death, could be said to be carefree, and he didn't have any ambitions and interests, and he lived a very easy life, if he hadn't been tricked into the seminar by Jenkins, he would probably just be an innocent and romantic cute girl, right?
But she seems to have quite an accomplishment in engineering? Of course, it may also be that her father is quite accomplished, anyway, Valdés once asked her to customize a set of engineering equipment for the workshop, but in the end, under the witness of Lloyd, the transaction was yellow......
In short, the people in the 'Future of Mankind Seminar' are all folk masters who have some talent and strength, but they have all kinds of ambitions, so they will accept Jenkins's overly radical ideas, and even believe that there really is a [supreme] in this world.
"So how should I play the role of the 'Most High'? It's not good to always talk and pretend to be a master, but I don't even know what the Supreme One is. ”
Lloyd scratched his head, but on second thought, since they would admit themselves wrong, they probably didn't know what the Supreme looked like.
So he recalled in his mind the style of those bigwigs in his impression.
Not only the chief judge and the housekeeper, but also the strong bosses of all kinds of literary and creative works on the earth, see if you can cosplay?
First of all, let's start with the way you speak......
Am I going against the heavens this time?
It doesn't seem like a good idea......
My generation has acted all my life, so why do we need to explain it to you?
Forget it, it's a good owe ......
My pain is still above yours?
It's quite distorted, but the style of painting is not quite right......
Lloyd was thinking for a while, and just as he heard Valdés say:
"A friend of mine recommended a stock to me, saying that there is a lot of upside, and suggested that I take out my savings to follow up, but I don't understand the principle and play of the stock market at all, do you have any suggestions?"
Eloro heard this, and hurriedly persuaded:
"Huh? If you don't understand anything, isn't it the same as gambling? It's not good, don't gamble! ”
Lloyd was stunned, and from the word 'gambling', he thought of the place he had been to today, and posted a barrage:
"Have you ever heard of 'Dream Theater'?"
The four people on the chessboard immediately fell silent, and then looked at each other for a while.
After a few seconds, Jenkins replied:
"Venerable, I have heard of that place before, but I don't know much about it, except that it is very mysterious, as if it is a place out of this world? Not bound by the laws and rules of the world, so that countless people are haunted by dreams? ”
After that, he waited for a few seconds, and then he saw a line of words floating in front of him:
"It's a special space that exists based on what you call 'ancient relics', and it's a place that is a little interesting."
This...... It's actually related to ancient relics?
Jenkins was suddenly interested, and it touched his professional nerves.
He immediately speculated in his mind about the intention of the Most High, why did he mention this place in particular?
Is there some kind of connection he has there? Or is He interested there? Want to learn more with us?
Jenkins weighed it in his mind, chose the most conservative guess, and then replied truthfully:
"I'm very sorry, Your Holiness, but that's all I know about there."
Then he looked at the reactions of the other three, and they all looked like they were listening attentively?
Apparently they don't know either......
Lloyd was also watching their reactions, confirming that the 'Theatre of Dreams' is really a very mysterious place, and it is no wonder that the club will issue all kinds of high-priced commissions.
So he thought about it, chose a template that best imitated the big guy, and sent a barrage:
"You can go and have a look."
"This ...... We don't know how to get in. ”
Jenkins asked retortingly, a little helplessly.
As a result, Lloyd simply stopped talking.
He chose the 'Riddler' template, which was to say only half of the words and make himself appear unfathomable.
"It seems that His Holiness wants us to find a way to get in on our own, right?"
Goldron helped pick up the conversation.
"It should be, maybe this is a test for us by His Holiness."
Jenkins nodded, then turned to look at Valdés.
The other two also followed Qi Shushu and looked over.
"It's not...... What are you all looking at me for? Do you think I have a way to get in? ”
Valdés asked with a smirk.
"Because you're the most well-connected of us."
Jenkins replied.
"How dare you say that? Obviously you're the strongest Fifth Order among us, right? ”
"Fifth Order? Hehe, I'm just a bad old man who wants to die but can't die in a short time. ”
While the two were talking, Elolo, who had not spoken much to him, suddenly spoke:
"That...... Shall I go back and ask my dad? He has quite a lot of friends. ”
"Well, I'll ask the people in the team, too, and they might know."
Goldron followed suit.
Seeing that everyone else said this, Valdés couldn't shirk it, and immediately impatiently said that he would ask the group of mediocre people.
Seeing this, Jenkins couldn't help but smile on his face.
For the first time in the many years since the establishment of the seminar, he felt such an atmosphere of teamwork.
Before, everyone just got together to chat, there were no team building activities, and conflicts and quarrels broke out at every turn.
Not even the widow of the Black Knight Stillott had no time to take care of it......
It was the arrival of this 'audience' that made the seminar begin to change.
So he also spoke:
"Of course, I'll also ask my old friends, and everyone will take this as a test for us by His Holiness."
……………………
After deciding to investigate the 'Dream Theater' together, tonight's seminar came to an end, and the four people on the chessboard said goodbye to the 'audience' next to them one by one, calling out 'Venerable' one by one.
Far from being fluttering, Lloyd was terrified.
It's really uncomfortable to be forced to cosplay into a big guy......
Especially for an honest young man like himself, who has always been down-to-earth, the sound of 'Venerable' made others numb.
But what can be done? The role I chose could only go down with tears.
But on the bright side, it would be nice if these people could also get into the 'Dream Theater'.
After that, everyone can exchange information, deepen their understanding of the place, and make full use of the resources in it.
In the process, we can also enhance mutual trust and build a foundation for cooperation.
Of course, the premise is that they can blend in smoothly and come out alive.
Lloyd is quite confident about this:
"It shouldn't be that hard, right? After all, they are all fourth-order and fifth-order, and their strength is stronger than mine, so I don't have any pressure, they should be able to do it like a fish in water, right? Of course...... Except for that white bishop......"
"I hope everyone will work hard, for their own future, and for the future of mankind."
Lloyd had a vague feeling that the strange and unpopular things needed by the [Twisted] system were difficult to buy with money, and the channels on the 'Dream Theater' side were very important.
But there's not everything there, and if you can't figure out something less popular, you'll have to figure it out yourself.
In short, information and channels, attributes and capabilities, must be the same weight.
