Chapter 167 Yaw
"I have an impression." Wu Chang nodded.
Just based on your name, I can't forget you.
When Park Changmin saw that Wu Chang remembered him, the smile on his face became even more intense, almost to the point of flattery.
"In recent years, President Li, you have been busy taking over the Xingtian Group and have been busy with affairs. I have never had the opportunity to invite you to visit our New Universe Church. The leader has always felt deeply regretful about this."
Park Changmin paused and said, "It just so happens that our sect is holding its annual team building, and we are having a dinner on this ship. President Li, would you be so kind as to come and take a look?"
Wu Chang looked at Park Changmin and sighed that these people were really shameless.
Did his incarnation, Lee Jae-se, have no time to visit? He simply didn't care to visit!
In the original owner's memory, he always believed that the various bizarre religions that were rampant in Takagi Country were essentially deceiving the people.
They take advantage of the anxiety and fear of the ignorant people, as well as their gradual marginalization, neglect and even disregard in society, to create a false sense of security and being needed for them, and then take the opportunity to plunder their already meager income and savings.
Lee Jae-se has always looked down on Park Chang-min and his group. What kind of ability is it to harvest the lowest class of people who can barely get enough food and clothing?
Their Xingtian Group is targeting the middle class and young people who have purchasing power.
If it weren't for the votes, popular reputation and money laundering channels in the hands of the New Universe Sect, Li Zai Shi would have looked down on them.
If it was still the original Li Zaishi, he probably wouldn't give this face, but now the person inside has been replaced by Wu Chang, so of course he wants to take the opportunity to test the bottom line of the New Universe Sect.
"Sure. I've always wanted to visit your sect, right now?"
Wu Chang's initiative didn't help Park Changmin. He had already prepared himself to pester the other party after being rejected, but before he could say anything, the other party was more proactive than him.
"If it's convenient for you, now would be the best time."
The place where the believers of the New Universe Sect live is located on the fourth floor of the Star Leap. The content of the team building is to reward outstanding believers. In order to let potential new believers feel the atmosphere of the sect, the believers bring their families with them, totaling more than 300 people.
To this end, the New Universe Sect booked the left half of the fourth floor of the passenger ship.
When Wu Chang arrived, the entire left half had been decorated with a religious atmosphere, and the symbols of the New Universe sect could be seen everywhere.
The huge cafeteria on the left half floor was temporarily converted into a huge church.
The grill that was originally used by teppanyaki chefs to show off their skills in front of diners has been turned into a holy table for priests to pray. The exquisite chairs have been removed and replaced with a simple and plain long table and combined stools.
If a sleepy tourist walked in, he would definitely think that it was a church giving out free lunches.
However, the ingredients and chefs of the buffet restaurant were retained and not replaced with the free food that the New Universe Sect usually distributed.
After all, the cost of the meal has been included in the boat ticket, and even the leeks being cheated by the church would not do such a stupid thing as to eat without suffering.
Passing through the church-style restaurant, Wu Chang followed Park Changmin to the deck, where the priest of the New Universe Church was leading the believers in prayer.
The praying believers all had smiles on their faces, and one could see a sense of satisfaction and happiness emanating from their bones.
Just looking at the scene before us, we wouldn't feel that the New Universe Sect and the Tranquility Sect have any connection at all.
But Wu Chang could not feel a bit of peace from the scene before him, because he could see with his naked eyes that the seeds of mysticism were planted in the bodies of every believer present.
Every time they prayed, a piece of skin on their bodies would crack. The cracked skin trembled and squirmed, and finally tore to the sides, revealing an extra eye.
Every believer in the field has five more eyes than a normal person. When Wu Chang stepped onto the deck, thousands of eyes were looking at him.
Such intensive attention is enough to make a socially anxious person become autistic on the spot.
Park Changmin turned to look at Wu Chang, like a child showing off that he had just received a perfect score on his final exam, "President Li, what do you think of the prayer we held?"
Wu Chang maintained his aloof and domineering personality, staring into the eyes of thousands without changing his expression, then nodded and said:
“Nice, great atmosphere.”
Park Changmin said with a sincere face: "Such a peaceful atmosphere comes from the greatness and majesty of the Lord. We are protected by the Lord and do not need to worry about worldly sufferings. We can naturally be calm and pray leisurely."
Wu Chang agreed with Park Changmin's words. According to the standards of the Book of Revelation, the seeds in the believers in the field have reached the standard of maturity, and the soil has buried them to their hairline. There is really no need to worry about worldly things.
After showing off, Park Changmin made a gesture of invitation and invited Wu Chang to the reception room on the fifth floor to rest for a while.
In the reception room on the fifth floor, Park Changmin served coffee to the people and said:
"President Li, you have seen the activities of our New Universe Church. Religious activities that express admiration for the Lord are bound to make a lot of noise. If it disturbs you, I hope you can understand."
Wu Chang sat on the sofa, looking through the floor-to-ceiling windows at the believers praying below, playing with the emblem of the arcane trial in his hand.
The New Cosmic Sect hadn't taken any action yet, but just from the preliminary prayers, he could feel the contamination of occultism pouring into his body like a backflow while sitting here.
Similar to the first job transfer mission, the occult contamination starts from the head, with the eyes as the starting point.
While waiting for coffee, he had already completed one-third of the transformation of one of his eyes.
The initial transformation of setting the reality anchor only allowed him to see the mystical energy. After a deep and thorough transformation, the mystical energy was no longer a colored block in his eyes, but a concrete shape.
For example, the prayer going on on the fourth deck appeared as a complex entanglement of silk threads in his modified eyeballs.
Each eye on the believer is the head of a silk thread, which are entangled with each other and finally dispersed to various parts of the Star Leap.
It was like a huge net, wrapping the entire passenger ship.
No wonder as soon as he got on board, he could feel the entire ship was filled with mystical energy.
Based on the entanglement of the silk threads, he could vaguely distinguish the nodes of the mystical ritual. The prayer ceremony on the fourth deck had a very complex interweaving of silk threads. Even if it was not a core node, it was an important sub-core node.
According to the current progress, he doesn't need to do anything. He just needs to listen to the prayers of this group of believers on the deck for ten days to easily complete the second job transfer task.
"President Li, are you okay?"
Wu Chang's attention was drawn back by Park Changmin's voice. He turned to look at Park Changmin and said:
"Watching them pray, I felt an extraordinary peace in my heart. I was lost in thought for a moment and watched them a few more times."
Park Changmin breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "If you can accept our prayers, then what I just said will not affect you."
"what did you say?"
Park Changmin repeated, "I said that during this voyage, we will have a grand prayer. According to the Pope's calculations, this year's spiritual energy has reached its peak in nearly a hundred years. The prayer may trigger some visions. I hope it will not disturb you."
pray?
I'm afraid it's not a sacrifice.
Wu Chang said nonchalantly, "It won't bother me, but on the day of the prayer, I want to join in and see it up close."
The day when the New Cosmic Sect activates the occult ritual must be the day when the occult energy reaches its peak.
Participating in it will make things much easier, whether it is completing the second job transfer task or waiting for an opportunity to disrupt their plans.
There was a hint of surprise on Park Changmin's face. He didn't expect that after just watching the believers pray once, Lee Jae-se, who had always looked down on them, would become addicted to watching the prayers. It seemed that he would be able to convert directly to the church if he watched it twice more.
Our religion is so attractive.
If I had known it would be so easy, I wouldn’t have had to make so many arrangements for Xingtian Group before.
"Of course, as long as you are willing, the New Universe Sect is always open to you."
The two made an agreement, and Wu Chang stayed in the lounge for more than an hour until the believers on the fourth deck got tired of praying and went into the restaurant to have their meal. Only then did he leave reluctantly.
In less than two hours, his eyes and ears were completely contaminated by the occult.
Unfortunately, he discovered it too late. If he had known that this effect could be achieved even without starting the ceremony, he would have mobilized all the younger brothers of the Xingcai Gang to block the Xingyue at the port, and then forced Park Changmin and the others to pray for ten days and ten nights. When Wu Chang returned to the suite from Park Changmin, he saw that Jianxing and the negotiation master had returned.
Judging from what the two of them said, they didn't find any valuable clues.
Since there were no clues, he would help the two of them and give them something to do.
Chaebol families don't keep idle people. You can't get promoted by claiming to be a bodyguard and do nothing.
He called the two to the office in the suite, took out a photo of the New Universe sect's logo, tapped the photo with his fingertips, and asked the two:
"Have you ever heard of the New Cosmic Sect?"
The moment Jianxing and the Master of Negotiation saw the photo, their eyes widened. As members of the Management Bureau, especially Jianxing, they were very familiar with this logo.
They spent the whole afternoon hanging out in the bar on the third floor and didn't find out any serious information. But when they came back, they saw such a big gift from Wu Chang.
Jian Xing replied, "I have heard of it."
Wu Chang said calmly: "What is your impression of them? I need to hear the truth."
In the eyes of two veteran players, Jianxing and Negotiation Master, when Wu Chang asked this question, a yellow exclamation mark almost appeared above his head.
Isn't this a real NPC issuing tasks?
The two looked at each other, and the negotiation master who was better at lying answered the question.
"We cannot draw a specific conclusion about whether this organization is good or bad, but as far as we know, wherever this organization goes, disaster and chaos will follow, without exception."
Wu Chang crossed his fingers, leaned back in his boss chair, and said in a noncommittal tone:
"On the fourth floor of the Star Leap, a large number of believers of the New Universe Sect are having a team building. The content of the team building seems to be some kind of ritual. Go investigate."
Hearing Wu Chang's words, Jian Xing and the Negotiation Master's eyes flashed with excitement.
A real mission has been issued!
"Understood, boss!"
The two of them shouted "Boss" from the bottom of their hearts.
Being able to meet a plane native in the Abyss game who has strength, can provide convenience, and can also provide clues to complete the main storyline, let alone being the boss, even if it is to be worshipped as a godfather, both of them would not hesitate.
Watching the two people walk out of the office full of energy, Wu Chang stretched hard.
The Silent Route is a confrontation copy, which means that there is more than one force in the copy. He needs to coordinate the overall situation and has no time to keep an eye on Park Changmin.
As a boss, of course you have to let your subordinates do such small things.
At 8:30 in the evening, the waiter brought an invitation to Wu Chang to attend a banquet in the banquet hall on the seventh floor.
The banquet on the seventh floor is different from the performances held in the halls on the third and fourth floors. Only VIPs living on the sixth and seventh floors are eligible to attend.
For other players, this is an invisible threshold. Without some means, they cannot get in here at all.
If it were Li Zaishe, he would definitely ask, what level are they, to be worthy of attending the same banquet with me?
But now it is Wu Chang who is in the body, and he will certainly not miss this opportunity to collect intelligence.
Sure enough, as soon as he entered the banquet hall, he instantly became the focus of everyone present.
The upper class people threw away their reserve at this moment, surrounded him, and racked their brains to leave a good impression in front of the successor of Xingtian Group.
The chaotic scene left Wu Chang no time to communicate with others alone and collect information.
But chaos itself can provide some intelligence.
When everyone is approaching him, those who are avoiding him or standing still stand out.
They either have something to hide or they have a grudge against Li Zaishe.
Wu Chang counted and there were six people in total. He asked his secretary to write down these six people and sort out their information. When Jian Xing and the others came back, he would give them the information and let them investigate together.
It's just right that I can investigate these guys during the day and the New Universe Sect at night. It would be a pity not to make full use of these two excellent oxen and horses.
Even if he exploits them so harshly, the two cows and horses will not only not blame him, but will thank him.
Just as I wrote down a few of the losers in a small notebook, the door to the banquet hall opened and a woman in a business suit with a camera hanging on her chest walked in.
As soon as the woman came in, the atmosphere in the room instantly cooled down. The crowd surrounding Wu Chang desperately stuffed their business cards into the secretary's hands, while reluctantly leaving Wu Chang's vicinity.
Wearing formal attire is the most basic etiquette when attending a banquet. According to common sense, reporters in professional attire will never be allowed in.
But the woman in front of me is an exception.
Li Yubin is the illegitimate daughter of the president of the Samshang Group, the first consortium in Gaomu Province. Although she is an illegitimate daughter, her identity is publicly acknowledged by the president of the Samshang Group and she is quite favored. Her status is not much inferior to that of Li Zaishe.
The reason why she was regarded as a plague by everyone was that she grew up in a slum. Her childhood experiences made her hate evil and after becoming a reporter, she was determined to report all the ugliness and injustice.
During the three years she worked as a reporter, more than a dozen companies were punished because of her revelations, and she was hailed as the common people's princess.
If it were any other young reporter, he would have either been sunk into the sea or locked up and degraded into a plaything.
But Li Yubin has the support of San Shang Group, so no one can touch her. Her so-called exposure of the shady dealings is actually under the control of the president of San Shang Group.
It's like a large-scale game of house. The small and medium-sized families exposed by Li Yubin are like toys that have been selected, just waiting for her to get tired of playing with them and face the reality so that she can go home and inherit billions of wealth.
The class of everyone present at the banquet could not escape the category of toys, so they avoided Li Yubin.
Others were afraid of Li Yubin, but Wu Chang was not afraid. Instead, he looked at Li Yubin and the two people following her unscrupulously.
If he was not mistaken, the two people behind Li Yubin were both players of the Abyss Game.
It seems that Jianxing and the Negotiation Master are not the only clever guys who are good at sucking up to powerful people.
Some players gathered around her. Could it be that she was one of the forces in the dungeon?
Due to Li Yubin's arrival, the banquet became boring. Facing the huge camera on Li Yubin's chest, everyone spoke carefully.
The expressions of the few people who were previously noted in Wu Chang's little notebook became even more unnatural, and three of them even left early.
The three people were circled by Wu Chang and regarded as key observation targets.
After dinner, the banquet ended hastily and Wu Chang left with his brothers.
When passing by Li Yubin, he heard Li Yubin whisper: "Be careful, I am watching your evil deeds, and sooner or later I will bring you to justice."
Wu Chang shrugged, "Isn't it a bit short to just stare at the banquet? Do you want to come to my room and I'll let you stare at me hard?"
Li Yubin snorted coldly, "Scumbag."
Back in the room, Wu Chang set up the inner world in the bedroom, put on the arcane trial emblem, and began to complete the second job transfer task.
A night passed, and the next morning, Wu Chang opened his eyes and found it was dark outside.
There was a thick fog on the sea.
Thick fog covered the entire sea, making it impossible to distinguish between day and night on the ship.
At this moment, there was a knock on the bedroom door and the secretary's voice came from outside.
"Boss, we seem to be in trouble. The Star Leap has deviated from its course."
