Chapter 424 I have a friend

The evening talks started as scheduled.

Zhu Jue changed into a so-called gray robe common to hermit monks, but there was no staff, let alone a glowing long sword.

Nor did he put a beard on his chin.

"You have to try to appear as mysterious as possible. For example, keep silent most of the time. The gentleman didn't use a voice changer before. If you talk too much, it will arouse suspicion."

Lisanna talked about some details that needed attention. After guarding the door for nearly an afternoon, she was still in good spirits.

"Let me know when you're ready."

Lisanna stood aside, also changing into a simple robe, holding a remote control in her hand.

Zhu Jue nodded, indicating that it was time to start.

Drop~
There is a slight sound of a successful communication connection.

There was a light screen unfolding in front of him, and Zhu Jue's gaze first turned around the environment around the screen, and then stopped at the middle-aged Asian man sitting on the sofa in the center.

He has thick hair and a normal build, with his hands resting on his lap. There is still wine on the low table in front of him, and there is a little remnant in the glass next to him. He should have just drunk it. Obviously, he is a little nervous about seeing Zhu Jue alone.

Compared with Westerners who believe in God or some other gods who emphasize pure belief, Asians are always keen on all kinds of gods and weird things. They may not have much faith, but they are quite superstitious in some things, and even It is considered tradition, that is, something that must be respected under normal circumstances.

Because of this, when Zhu Jue looked at the list of clubs created by gentlemen, these people accounted for about half of the total, and they were also the ones who were most willing to spend money.

"Mr. Brother, it's an honor to meet you."

Seeing Zhu Jue for the first time, the man hurriedly got up and bowed respectfully.

In the eyes of these people in the club, monks with mysterious power undoubtedly have a high status, so the attitude of this middle-aged man is very low.

"Mr. Feng, how is your practice recently?"

In no hurry to ask about the killing game, Zhu Jue put the topic on the other party's practice.

Feng Shaojie, director of Mingyu Group, joined the club for half a year
Zhu Jue has already read his profile.

"Ah, regarding this aspect, I actually have a lot of experience recently. The moonshine wine you once gave me is the only drink I have now. Every time I drink it, I can feel the sublimation of my soul, and then I will carry out the wine you taught me. Our meditation method, it really makes my spirit very sensitive, please forgive my excitement, that kind of feeling rarely appears in my mind after I am 35 years old, as if I can see through everything, Heavy affairs can no longer burden me."

When it comes to cultivation, Feng Shaojie excitedly mentions his recent gains.

Although money can buy many things in this era, the meditation method from the dreamland can bring people real spiritual tranquility. Everyone will inevitably fall in love with this feeling.

This was expected, Zhu Jue just nodded in affirmation.

"It seems that Mr. Feng also has a talent for cultivation. It just so happens that I prepared a gift for you in return for your help."

Using the remaining honey-colored gemstones in front of the screen before, they flew from the side and spun around Zhu Jue's palm without any equipment, and then landed on his hand.
"Please wear this gemstone on your wrist or neck, and nourish it with spiritual power every day. I believe you will find something new."

Without giving the other party a chance to raise conditions, Zhu Jue directly showed his hand and gave his own reward.

If a gentleman had to deliberately hide his ability when dealing with these people before, then as a real soul liberator, in a sense, Zhu Jue is actually more in line with what these people imagine the mysterious monk should have. ability.

As it is now, things that are difficult for a gentleman to do are easy for Zhu Jue. He just showed his hand casually, and the face of Mr. Feng on the other side of the screen was full of surprise and admiration, and he didn't even dare to say goodbye. Zhu Jue decided to say "no", let alone bargain.

"The killing game you mentioned is actually a very popular competitive game among the high-level communities in Qianfan City."

After being rewarded, Feng Shaojie knew it was his turn to show sincerity, so he took the initiative to speak.

"A competitive game in Thousand Sails City?"

Zhu Jue frowned, turned his upper body slightly, and gave a look to Lisanna next to him. The latter took a step back, left the screen, and turned to the living room directly opposite Zhu Jue, and began to search for relevant information.

After a while, he stood up and shook his head, saying that he could not find any relevant information on the Internet.

"Yes, about half a month ago, I went to Thousand Sails City to have an interview with a partner because of business issues. It happened to be the beginning of this game. I still remember the scene at that time. We wore something that looked like The equipment of the helmet, and then the consciousness appeared on a huge viewing platform, which is not a common game stand, but a trading platform with many functions. You can see many things on it, all kinds of dirty scenes, fighting, Killing. I have to declare that I have no interest in these acts, but because of work reasons, I have to accompany my friend there."

Perhaps because he was worried that the monk would misunderstand that he was an evil and dirty person, Feng Shaojie even explained it for himself.

As to whether the friend in his mouth is actually himself, that is open to debate.

"Just watching?"

With modern technology, it is not difficult to create such a scene. It is nothing more than an immersive VR experience. Things that have been popularized as early as decades ago are now regarded as one of the special hospitality services among the rich. Zhu Jue didn't believe they just went in to have a look.

"There is gambling, there are 50 or more players in the whole game, they call these people 'volunteers', and we are 'players',
The contestants were gathered in one place. I'm not sure where it is, but judging from the surrounding environment, it should be inferior. The place where low-level civilians live, all contestants are required to kill within a limited time, only a few People can live to the end, and viewers will place bets based on the performance of the contestants, ranging from tens of thousands to millions. "

"In my impression, there seems to be other options besides gambling. One of them is to pay a certain fee. The 'player' can also participate in the game in a certain way without any responsibility. There are no rules. Do whatever you want in time."

In order to get the monk's favor, Feng Shaojie recalled everything he saw, but Zhu Jue was even more startled when he heard it.

The so-called "volunteers", that is, volunteers, are undoubtedly the "murderers" who appeared all over the world during this period, and this part of the content is also mentioned in the recording content held by the Yimeng.

It’s just that in the content mentioned by Feng Shaojie, there is no such thing as the coming of foreign consciousness, or the theory similar to the “brain in a vat” mentioned by Suzi.

Because Feng Shaojie didn't participate in many times, he didn't know about these inside stories, or did someone deliberately conceal this part of the content?
In the past, Zhu Jue often dealt with monsters of various spiritual pollution sources. Horror is horror, but in the final analysis, it is still human beings against monsters.

Under such a premise, Zhu Jue doesn't need to think too much about good and evil morality, just deal with these indescribable monsters directly, and the occasional communication with humans is mostly a way to resist monsters that are mentally polluted. It is the Archaeological Association, and the scope always revolves around the monster of the source of spiritual pollution.

It is also because of this that Zhu Jue, who is busy dealing with monsters that are sources of spiritual pollution, rarely comes into contact with some dark forces on the human side. "Zero" counts as one, but it is a religious cult organization, not pure.

And Feng Shaojie's words undoubtedly revealed to Zhu Jue the dark corner of the human world in this era.
