Doomsday Wonderland Chapter 2075: A few confused people
"I have a... guess, based on... my previous experience." When Pan Cui spoke, as if she didn't dare to use her vocal cords too much, she carefully covered her neck with one hand. The voice sounded hollow and hoarse.
When Peter in the portrait asked everyone to sit down, and asked an invisible servant to serve them invisible drinks and snacks, several evolved people knew that they didn’t know how to serve them in this situation. It's definitely a weird thing, I'm afraid it will continue for a while.
The portraits could sit at the table and drink, so there was no reason for them to just stand around. Lin Sanjiu simply took out a few chairs and asked everyone to sit down. Portraits surrounded them, and conversations continued one after another. Under the light source more than ten meters high, it felt like there were ten windows, and each window had a face staring at everyone.
After several attempts, Pan Cui also found a way to speak reluctantly, but occasionally she couldn't pronounce part of her tone, and she couldn't say too many words at once. She took a breath at this time, and finally found a gap in the portraits' chat about drinks and wine, and said: "I have participated in... a plot dungeon, which requires me to complete a story line and find out the answer. These portraits...may be the characters in the plot."
Lin Sanjiu also experienced a similar copy; she and Pina both nodded and said, "I also feel it is very similar to that situation."
Jiajiada seemed to have never experienced the plot copy, and asked with interest: "Really? Do you all think so? It's like that kind of... murder dinner detective game? I don't know who will die?"
"Hello everyone, you should have noticed the difference tonight. So, before we get into the theme of tonight's party, please let the newcomers say a few words and introduce themselves."
With a few sudden knocks on the wine glass, Peter cut off the portraits' chat; after he finished these few words, the cave quickly became quiet. Even though none of the faces in the portraits had changed in any way, Lin Sanjiu still had the illusion that the portraits were all focused on them.
"They...could they be able to hear us?" Pina panicked a little and said in a very low voice.
Before Lin Sanjiu could respond, his voice that always seemed to be very happy came from Nika's portrait. "Pina? What did you say? Do you want to come first?"
The portrait seems... you can actually hear several people talking.
The four of you looked at me and I looked at you. They were all a little stupid. I don’t know if the conversation just now was heard, and how much was heard. Pina was asked on her head, even if she didn’t know what to do. I had no choice but to bite the bullet and cough.
"Well...I'm very grateful to Nika and Peter for inviting us..." Pina faced the empty cave and a circle of portraits and said without embarrassment: "Lin Sanjiu and I both feel honored. ..."
It should be enough to make a fool of yourself with a few words, right?
After everyone had gone through the self-introduction part, a word suddenly rang out quietly from the portrait of the bearded Hu Leiwen - "Interesting," his voice whispered in the silence: " None of the newcomers mentioned the nature of our gathering."
Several evolvers looked at each other, not knowing how to react. After listening to Raven's words, they realized the "nature" of this party.
Jiajiatian hesitated for a moment, probably because of his young age. When he was about to answer Raven, he was suddenly pressed on the shoulder by Pan Cui. She frowned and wrote in the notebook for a while, then handed the notebook to Jiajiada.
Jia Jiatian glanced at the notebook, then pursed his lips and passed the notebook to Pina and Lin Sanjiu.
"When the portraits were chatting just now, there were background sounds such as the clinking of wine glasses, and the portraits would address each other or say hello to each other before talking to people." After the first sentence in the notebook, Pan Cui Start another line and write: "But the background of everyone's inner monologue that we heard at first was very quiet. The background of Raven's words was also very quiet... The most important thing is that the other portraits are very quiet. His words had no reaction at all."
Seeing this, Lin Sanjiu understood what Pan Cui meant.
The next sentence on the notebook is indeed: "I suspect that Raven's words are his inner monologue. Wouldn't it be too suspicious if we rashly react to other people's inner monologues?"
Pina took the notebook and scrawled a line of words. "In other words, the dialogues and monologues of the portraits will be mixed together?"
After reading the book, Pan Cui nodded slightly - she did not dare to touch the wound on her neck.
"Everyone should know the reason for our gathering. I am not modest in saying that before you, the six of us have been studying this issue for a long time, collected a lot of information, and made considerable progress."
Sure enough, it is not just his voice that sounds in Peter's portrait. If you listen carefully, you can hear a rustling background sound that sounds like a recording.
"However, we all know that as the only group of people in the world who know the truth, the closer we are to the truth, the more likely we are to be discovered by them and the more likely we are to be approached by them. So just relying on the six of us is not enough , if we want to gain the upper hand, protect ourselves, or even go further... we all need more new forces."
Jia Jiatian made a mouth gesture with a frown on his face, as if to say "what truth".
"For the sake of safety, please tell us about your past history." Peter's next request stunned everyone.
"Do I need it too?" Jiajiada couldn't help but ask.
"I know you are Minna's nephew, and I have met your parents." Peter's portrait said calmly, "But the last time we saw you, you were still a little kid. It would be better for your parents to send you to study abroad. Years, in so many years, anything can happen... Even more seriously, it is possible that you are not the Kajiada we met back then."
Is it enough to just talk about history? What does this prove?
The most important thing is, what is the reason that would make a normal person suspect that his nephew may have been impersonated?
Doubts hung heavily in the air; Lin Sanjiu turned around following the sudden sound of writing and found that Pan Cui had written another sentence, "We need to find out the nature of this gathering as soon as possible."
Despite the strange request, it is not difficult for a few evolutionists to compile a personal history, as long as they are careful not to give any details that can be falsified on the spot. And Kate, the network show host who invited Pan Cui to come, also endorsed Pan Cui a few words, allowing a few people to pass this test smoothly.
"I know there are some things that cannot be mentioned," Nika suddenly spoke, and in the background, he seemed to put down the wine glass in his hand. "I just want to ask, Peter, are you sure? A person with a simple background who has never existed before appears out of thin air, and borrowing this person... I find it difficult to imagine."
What are you using this person for? Lin Sanjiu was so anxious that she almost wanted to yell at him - this man always spoke half-spit and half-swallowed, which was very uncomfortable to hear.
"This is our latest theory, otherwise it will be difficult to explain some of the things that happened in the past." Peter replied. "Of course, the theory also needs to be verified."
What kind of riddles are these?
Lin Sanjiu turned to look at the other three people and found that they also had anxious looks on their faces.
"It's not easy to handle now," Teacher Yi said. "The six of them already have 'internal cognition'. They don't need to explain clearly every time, and each other also knows what the other is saying. In addition, there are Some things cannot be mentioned. Only a few newcomers are kept in the dark, but it is even more difficult to crack..."
"Maybe just one or two, maybe all four."
A quiet word rang out from Raven's portrait - several evolvers couldn't help but pause; this sentence was obviously his inner monologue.
The "four" definitely refers to the newcomers; but, what might they "be"?
"Wait a little longer," Teacher Yi whispered, "there may be more clues in the monologue..."
"I'm suffocated to death, but I'm so thirsty," Kate suddenly said a monologue, "Ah... just bear it a little longer."
A few people exchanged doubtful glances with each other.
"I wonder if what Peter promised me can come true." Scott, the pale man running for local parliament, also had a monologue in the portrait. "The funds for the last campaign have almost been spent. If I don't increase my public support as much as possible, it will be difficult to get further funds... Can he really use this method to give me unexpected abilities? ?"
Pan Cui was excited and quickly recorded the clue that Scott had just given in her notebook - "Peter promised Scott to use a certain method to let him obtain certain abilities."
After the two monologues, the portraits quickly resumed their previous chat - only this time ~IndoMTL.com~ it was almost as if it was prearranged, and each evolver was pulled into the conversation by a portrait In the conversation.
"It's really annoying," Kate approached Lin Sanjiu and said in a brisk voice: "Look, I didn't drink anything, but that servant accidentally spilled red wine... I can't see clearly. Lu, why bother letting her come."
Lin Sanjiu glanced at her portrait and suddenly realized that Kate's cuffs had actually been stained with red wine at some point.
"Don't mention tonight's matter to your parents..." On the other side, Ming Na's portrait was instructing Jiajiada.
Lin Sanjiu looked around and found that Nika was chatting with Pina, while Scott and Pan Cui talked about how to use online platforms to win the votes of young people; He looked at Kate, his ears pricked up.
The cave was already filled with voices like porridge. She almost missed Raven’s voice amid the noise and echoes.
"...Why weren't precautions taken?" His voice was so low that it was almost indistinguishable. "Everyone knows that this might allow us to be monitored..."
