After I walked down the stairs and came to the main hall, I was still constantly observing the surrounding environment and people.
Although the word "banquet" was used in the previous broadcast, the organizers of the banquet apparently did not intend to invite everyone to sit around the table to eat Chinese food.
Of course, food and drinks are still available in the main hall. A variety of drinks, champagne trees, and many ready-to-eat snacks and fresh seafood are all available to guests.
Or... can only take it by yourself.
Because there is only a man in a suit sunglasses who is responsible for maintaining order, and there is no waiter.
Considering that many guests have chosen the kind of mask that can't be eaten without taking off, the demand for food and beverage here is quite limited. There seems to be nothing wrong with this arrangement.
After a while, in the main hall, wandering around a full circle of feeling brother, suppressing the impulse to take off the mask and risotto... Find a corner against the wall and continue to wait and see.
"Unexpectedly unfolding..." Looking at the guests in front of them, I couldn’t help but say, "Even if everyone wears a mask, they don’t know each other, but many people have formed a 'small group'.
His eyes swayed and swept through the three or five groups.
"Even if the face is covered, people who are good at communication are still good at communication.
Strength, talk, temperament; and the taste of wine, clothing, and even masks... These are the dominant capital that can quickly express self-worth.
Thinking of this, he looked at other people.
"People who are not good at those people can only act as vassals for the time being, or fight with each other like me."
Then he snorted softly.
"Oh... However, in the long run, there is no difference between the two.
"The people who are talking about laughing and laughing at the moment, they all know in their hearts that the "relationships" established under such circumstances are nothing more than a play and use of each other.
When it comes to your own interests, anyone can easily betray each other...
I couldn’t help but look up at the second floor of the main hall; there... there is a doorway that is guarded by many black suits and no one can approach.
"In the end... In the eyes of the ‘sponsor’ who is driving this good show. The people standing in this main hall at the moment are all playthings for their fun...
"Ornate clothing, excellent social skills...
"It’s good to show off the knowledge and behave like a dagger...
"No matter what you do, you can't cover up the most basic facts. People who have come here have no choice but to go."
"If you don't have a path, you won't come to this ship.
"If you don't have a path, you won't bet on your own life.
And these people... are different from the bottom people who have never touched the upper echelons of society; they are all 'successful people', 'social elites', 'life winners'... their abilities, courage, vision, etc. Not the same as the former.
"But they are all because of some kind of mistake. They have brought their lives to the brink of extinction."
"They... are more afraid of poverty and loss than the average person.
"For mortals, being a mortal is life, but for the gods, being a mortal... is the most terrible punishment.
"In this group of people, the ‘fear' of the poor life even surpasses the fear of death. At least, before they really face death, they must think so.
"So, they are desperate...
"So. They came here...
"In order to escape the abyss in front of them, they rushed to a wooden bridge, but they ignored it. There are only a handful of people who can cross the bridge. The rest of the people will fall from the bridge and fall into the bridge. Another deeper bottomless abyss..."
When I read this, I didn’t know how to laugh.
"Oh... look at these people who are struggling in the desperate situation, tearing each other... gradually stripping off the layers of camouflage, revealing the dirty nature under the faint appearance, or ... the nature, presumably a pole Have a thrill."
His smile has a self-deprecating element. There are also some unspeakable emotions...
I am afraid that I feel that my brother has realized it... The reason why he can think of this is precisely because of the dark side of his heart, and he is also eager for this "show."
............
Late, 7:10.
Perhaps it is for the sake of the shelf. Perhaps it is to give the guests time to communicate beforehand, or perhaps... simply by nature.
In short, the protagonist tonight, at this time is only late, and debut.
It was a yellow man dressed in a tuxedo, about one meter tall and tall, with black hair.
Same as the guests. The "sponsor" is also wearing a mask.
Therefore, people can't see his face; the only thing that can be confirmed from it is hair color, skin color, height and body shape.
When the man came to the guardrail on the second floor, the crowd in the main hall was naturally quiet.
[Sense of existence]
This is the word that flashed in people's minds at the moment.
He did not speak, nor did he do anything that would attract attention. He simply "appears" and stands there, giving a strong sense of existence that cannot be ignored.
Not long after, the entire venue was silent, and hundreds of burning eyes were on the person's body.
People are waiting... waiting for him to say something.
This reaction made the organizer quite satisfied.
"As always, these masculine, mundane, vulgar ants are disguised as quickly... I quickly noticed that I am different."
He sent a sentence in his heart and was about to speak. He didn't expect...
Snoring
Suddenly, a very obvious sucking sound rang.
Since the main hall at this time was very quiet, the sound was very ugly.
So... the attention that people had originally stayed on the organizer was instantly attracted to the past by the sucking sound.
But see, the source of the sound... A man wearing a crow mask is holding a drink and inserting the straw of the drink into the "eyes" part of the mask, snoring, sucking and sipping...
In the face of the crowd, this cargo did not stop the meaning of this wonderful behavior.
He just sucked the cup of drink slowly, and then put down the cup, and closed the "glasses" on the mask without hesitation. (The part of the two eyes of the crow mask is like two small portholes. Round glass design; on the mask bought by Jue Ge, both glasses can be opened separately).
"I said ~ this big brother." After drinking the drink. Unexpectedly, he turned around and took two steps. He greeted the man in a suit and sunglasses who was closest to himself.
The suit man was also a glimpse. After two seconds, he replied in a hurry: "What... what?"
"You don't have a straw that can be bent here? This kind of straightness is inconvenient." The seal used a tone of complaint in front of the convenience store counter. I told the other person that it was irrelevant to everyone.
But... From the actual situation, his suggestion is indeed well-founded.
Because the mouth of the mask could not be opened, he could only fold the straw into a nearly sixty degree angle and lift the drink to almost the same height as his face. Let the straw stick into the mask through the hole in the eye, then put it in your mouth...
In this case, the straight straw is forcibly bent, which makes it very difficult to the object, and then it will emit a very unpleasant and very obvious sucking sound.
Of course... Normally, when the mouth of the mask cannot be opened, the average person simply gives up drinking water and eats. And if the mouth of the mask can be opened, the straight straw has no effect.
"This...this..." The suit man was asked a bit embarrassed, as a small person, under the focus of so many people. He was involuntarily nervous.
"Oh...hehehe..." Fortunately, two seconds later, the organizer standing on the second floor laughed.
His laughter pulled people's attention back.
"Oh? It’s younger than the estimate." After hearing the voice of the other party, he immediately said, "The gait when he walked from him, the skin that was exposed to the outside, and the posture of standing. He should be no more than forty years old. But now listen to this laugh... He is probably 30 or less."
"Hey! Who?" The smile was not over, the organizer used his slightly screaming voice and shouted the suit man.
"Ah... ah! Yes! Sir!" The suit man hesitated for half a second and immediately stood up straight. Speak loudly.
"You are going to the logistics department right now and confirm for the gentleman around you. There is no straw on the boat." The next second, the organizer calmly ordered the underground. "If not, you will take the helicopter back to the city to help him buy some back."
"Oh...Yes!" When the suit man responded, he showed a "salvated" expression. Then he looked at his brother with a proud look before he left...
This happened in just one minute. When it was the first round of "communication" between the buddy and the sponsor...
Unexpectedly, the timing of the organizer's preparation for speech was unpredictable, and the rhythm of the other party was disrupted by a nonsense behavior.
The organizer solves the other party's demands with a very simple and straightforward approach that ordinary people may not be able to think of.
As a result, I feel a bit embarrassed when I feel about this situation... However, after all, he is thick-faced and has a mask bonus today, so he does not care much about the crowd.
In any case, this is the first "over-the-counter"... It is the winner of the competition.
"Uh huh..." After a brief silence, the organizer cleared his throat and reopened. "Ladies, gentlemen..."
His words let those who are still watching the visual brother take their eyes back.
"Welcome to the Song of Songs." When the organizer said this, there was no ardent intention. What was revealed in his tone was a faint chill. "I am the organizer of this banquet. You directly call me." 'On the line.'
He paused for two seconds, looked at the reaction of the crowd below, and then said again: "You are all smart people, those who are false and false, and I will save it..."
He was not the one who would say that kind of words... because "false feelings" and "turning around the corners" are the rhetorical means that people use when they ask for others. The sponsor, there is almost no chance to say this.
"I will talk directly about the parts that are of interest to you..."
The organizers said that eight suit men appeared silently on his sides, four sides, and stood side by side.
Every suit man's hand holds an object that is covered by a white cloth. Look at the outline... Under the white cloth, it should be a kind of rectangular object with a side length of about 30 centimeters.
"Oh..." After waiting a few seconds, the organizer sneered, "I will introduce you to this ‘game’ prize tonight.
His voice did not fall, and the suit men each uncovered the white cloth on the object they held.
Under the white cloth... without exception, they are small glass cabinets.
The bottom of those cabinets is made of metal, the base is covered with a rectangular glass cover, and the inside of the cabinet is stored...
"I will start from my left hand side... Tell everyone about it one by one." The organizers just glanced at each other and confirmed the position and order of those things, so they no longer turned their heads, but kept looking down. The gesture of the crowd below, shouted...
"One of them, 'Red Tears', one of the world's most famous natural red diamonds, was stolen from a collector's home in 2040, and its whereabouts are unknown. The market value of the last valuation...about $6 million."
"Second, ‘Firefly’, nothing special, just a perfect opal with a market value of about $5 million.
"The third, 'Fragrance', a funerary object excavated from the royal jewels of a European country, it is said that it will bring bad luck to the women who wear it, so that it will disappear in a few years, and every dead, They will all die in a place with a different fragrance. The last time the 'Fragrance' appeared in the auction market, it was sold for $12 million."
"The fourth, 'lover', one of the largest diamonds ever produced in Myanmar, was first discovered in the 19th century, and its original stone was cut into two pieces because of the size of the two craftsmen. The hand was born."
"Five, ‘Lovers’, this is the sister stone of the previous one. The individual market value of these two diamonds is around $5 million.
"The sixth, 'Dashmir Pink Diamond', originally belonged to a well-known actress in the twentieth century. In 1968, she was killed in her living room, and the only one in her mansion was stolen that day. This is the diamond. In the year before her death, she bought the diamond for $180,000. I think everyone knows inflation. At that time, the amount of $180,000 is equivalent to the current one. Money, you should be able to figure it out soon."
"The Seventh, 'Wang Guan', a series of prizes held by a game company in the United States in 1982, made of pure gold, decorated with diamonds, rubies, sapphires and aquamarine. Due to the collapse of the American game industry in 1983, The prize-related competition game was only issued in limited edition, and eventually failed to reach the finals. The 'crown crown' was not known in the same year. The value of this item was 25,000 US dollars in the same year. Similarly, it is inflation. Coupled with its background story, the market value is now at least $4 million."
"Finally..." When it came to the last thing, the organizer paused and glanced at the cabinet before he said, "The Heart of the Ocean."
He only said these four words about this gem.
For this gem, he only needs to say these four words...
No one here knows the story of the heart of the ocean, and no one will go to value this gem.
"Well... just get the 'that'." When the crowd in the main hall looked up at the gemstones that were worthless, they didn't move because they didn't feel it. He was concerned... only his own trip. The "goal" only.
"Well, I think you have already had a concept of the value of this prize." After a few seconds of pause, the organizer went on to say, "There is no doubt that any of these jewels is enough to get rid of the current Dilemma.
"As long as you win from the game, you can choose to take it with you.
"But... if it fails in the game," (to be continued.)
