"Are you okay, do you want me to call the police for you?"

The young man asked worriedly.

"No need. Wu Ge said tiredly, "As long as I find out which damn city the conference is going on, I can go myself." ”

He couldn't help but curse in his heart: Damn, why do you like to call the police so much?

The newspaper seller aunt enthusiastically instructed Wu Ge to go to a bank. After exchanging the banknotes, Wu Ge confidently marched to the venue of the "International Symposium on Mysterious Phenomena". As a result, when I arrived at the destination, I found that the conference was really the "International Symposium on Mysterious Phenomena." ”

Wu Ge was suddenly both blind and crazy. For more than a day, he wandered like a ghost on the world's largest island, visiting four "small international conferences" one after another, but finding nothing. This made him sigh that some foreign reports on China were really demonized. For example, they always say that there will be more in China, but now it seems that there are just as many foreign clubs as outrageous!

The more serious problem was that he set off thinking too much about the problem and didn't have much money with him. Although he doesn't need to stay in a hotel, and he only relies on his own fruits and dry food to eat, this is a ...... The price of foreign goods is expensive, and his little money will be tossed off after two trips. If it weren't for the fear of losing his national dignity, he would have been eager to beg. But fortunately, he is not an ordinary tourist, and at the critical moment, he can stealthily drill under other people's cars and take the overlord car. Although this "overlord car" really detracts from the dignity of the "overlord", and it has to endure the constant edification of car exhaust fumes, in order to find an organization, it has no choice but to do so.

The next afternoon, when he arrived at the venue of the International Symposium on Paranormal Events, he was already exhausted. Although his body has always been well conditioned, this rush is nothing at all. However, the state of the practitioner's body is largely influenced by the state of the qi, which in turn has a great deal to do with the mood.

This time, he wore the vest of a foreign correspondent of a well-known domestic newspaper to cover a "small international conference" and "got separated from his companions." ”

"I'm not sure either, but ......"

The participant he "interviewed" was hesitant. He knew that the Dongfang guy in front of him had run a lot of wrongs for this matter, and he was in a very bad state now. He feared that he would make matters worse by providing the wrong information carelessly.

"When I was on the plane two days ago," he said with extreme caution, "one of my fellow guests said he was here for a meeting. Be...... Well, the International Symposium on Paranormal. ”

Wu Ge gasped for breath twice, stunned for a long time, and felt that his brain with six senses was a little insufficient.

"'Supernatural' and 'supernatural,'" he said slowly, organizing the words as he organized his brain's thoughts, "don't they mean the same thing in English?"

Attendees shrugged.

"Probably...... But these are two different meetings. ”

Wu Ge sighed.

"Okay...... Where?"

The ascetic assembly has entered its fourth day, and the climax of the conference, the ascetic competition, is about to begin. But it was clear that they couldn't fight at the hotel where they were staying. Early in the morning, the participants traveled in three groups to a military camp and then to a secret base in the eastern part of the island.

In front of a nondescript building on the base, Richardson, the president of the host country's "Paranormal Research Society", a silver-haired elder who looked like he had not diminished his old age, had been waiting for a long time.

"Oh, dear Zhou, my old friend. ”

As soon as he saw Lao Zhou get out of the car, Richardson immediately opened his arms and warmly greeted him, hugging, kissing, and shaking hands.

A warm, long handshake.

"You see, I'm so busy with conference work. You've been here for days, and I haven't been able to find time to visit you alone......"

He held Lao Zhou's hand tightly, kept shaking, pinching, and squeezing, and the other hand kept stroking Lao Zhou's hand.

If this were to be seen by an ordinary person, he would probably think that Mr. Richardson had some special fetish. However, Huang Yuantao and other cultivators would not have such a misunderstanding.

Lao Zhou kept smiling, letting Richardson's hand shake and shake constantly. It wasn't until the other party's strength slowly weakened that he introduced to Richardson:

"These are my colleagues, this one is surnamed Huang ......"

Richardson hugged Huang Yuantao and others one by one, but did not shake hands.

"Did he have any holiday with you?"

When Richardson turned to greet the representatives of other countries, Huang Yuantao asked Lao Zhou Chuanyin.

Lao Zhou smiled and replied:

"When the first ascetic assembly was held, there were not as many large-scale competitions as there are now. We were just going to have a one-on-one discussion. He lost to me that time, and he has not been convinced to this day. ”

Recalling Richardson's performance just now, Huang Yuantao couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

"Then why didn't you give him a little bit of power just now? In my opinion, if you cast a small spell, his hand will have to be destroyed. ”

He asked again.

"Why should I let him know my true strength? Isn't it good to let him be confused for the rest of his life?"

――――7788――――

The delegates held a simple drawing of lots in that nondescript building, and the fifteen Member States were divided into three groups. Subsequently, the heads of delegations ascended a mountain bag, under which was an open space about five kilometers long and wide, with undulating terrain and dense vegetation.

This is the arena where practitioners compete. The members of the first group of five countries have already taken their places in front of the starting line, including Huang Yuantao and three others. According to the rules, they will enter the venue after the departure order is given. After a minute, the organizers will again give a "start" signal. After that, they would engage in a fierce battle over the 25 square kilometers of land, winning the victory by successfully passing through the entire arena and pulling out the Practitioners' Assembly flag on the hill at the other end of the arena.

Although the rules strictly prohibit killing, it is not unheard of.

Lao Zhou and the other heads of delegations stood on a makeshift viewing platform at the top of the mountain. A man walked up to him. Tall, muscular, he resembles a visionary grizzly bear who is ready to hibernate because of a sudden change in the climate.

However, due to his successful practice, his gait is quite steady and light.

That is, like a nimble, hibernating grizzly bear.

"Hello Zhou. It's great to see you again. ”

He greeted Lao Zhou.

"It's also a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Norosovsky. ”

Lao Zhou smiled and nodded in response.

"Your statement yesterday is important. Seriously, I'm worried about that. As he spoke, Norosovsky naturally stood beside Lao Zhou. "I hope that our two countries can strengthen cooperation on this issue. ”

"Of course it's good. We can discuss this after the meeting. ”

After a pause, Norosovsky said to Lao Zhou:

"I regret that our two delegations were not able to draw a group. If that's the case, we'll be able to take care of each other. ”

Lao Zhou smiled and said:

"Nothing. A little more pressure isn't a bad thing either. ”

"The result of that draw will never be accidental. Your group is all hostile or unfriendly to you. Norosovsky touched his hair and continued: "What happened at the last conference, it is difficult to say that the other side did it on purpose. But as far as I know, since they didn't get the punishment they deserved last time, they are now even more arrogant. You'd better be vigilant and prepared. ”

Lao Zhou's expression became very cold.

"Thank you for the reminder. He looked ahead and said indifferently, "Don't worry, we won't let that happen again." ”

As soon as Lao Zhou's voice fell, the signal of "departure" sounded on the mountain bag. The fifteen contestants on the starting line disappeared one by one.
