Indescribable cyberpunk

The evening talks started as scheduled.

Zhu Jue put on a gray robe common to so-called hermit monks, but there was no staff or a glowing sword.

He also didn’t put a beard on his chin.

"You have to try to appear mysterious. For example, stay silent most of the time. The gentleman has not used a voice changer before. If you say too much, it will arouse suspicion."

Lisanna talked about some details that needed attention, and she was still in good spirits after waiting outside the door for nearly an afternoon.

"Please give me a hint when you're ready."

Lisanna stood aside, also wearing a simple robe, holding the remote control in her hand.

Zhu Jue nodded, indicating that he could start.

Drop~

A slight sound indicates successful communication connection.

There was a light screen unfolding in front of him. Zhu Jue's eyes first circled 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. He has his hands on his legs. There is wine on the low table in front of him. There is a little residue in the glass next to him. He must have just drank. He is obviously a little nervous about seeing Zhu Sue alone.

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

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

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

The first time he saw Zhu Jue, the man quickly stood up and bowed respectfully.

In the eyes of these people in the club, the monk with mysterious power undoubtedly has a high status, so the middle-aged man's attitude is very low.

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

Instead of rushing to ask about the killing game, Zhu Jue focused 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 information.

"Ah, regarding this aspect, I actually have a lot of experience recently. The moonshine wine you once gave me is my only drink now. Every time I drink it, I can feel the sublimation of my soul. Then I can follow your teachings. Our meditation method has indeed made my spirit very sensitive. Please forgive me for being excited. That feeling rarely appears in my mind after I turned 35, as if I can see through everything. Heavy affairs can no longer burden me.”

When it comes to practice, Feng Shaojie mentioned his recent gains with some excitement.

Although money can buy many things in this era, the meditation method from the dreamland can bring real spiritual tranquility to people. When these middle-aged people who have been struggling in the capital society for decades just start to meditate, 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 the talent for cultivation. I just prepared a gift for you in return for your help."

The remaining honey-colored gemstone that was used to hold the screen in front of the screen flew from the side, circled around Zhu Jue's unequipped palm for several times, and then stopped on his hand.

"Please wear this gemstone on your wrist or neck, and nourish it with your spiritual power every day. I believe you will make new discoveries."

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

If a gentleman had to deliberately hide his abilities when dealing with these people before, then as a true liberator of souls, in a sense, Zhu Jue is actually more in line with what these people imagine a mysterious monk should be. ability.

Just like now, what is difficult for a gentleman to do is easy for Zhu Jue. He just casually showed his hand, and the face of Mr. Feng on the other side of the screen was full of surprise and admiration, and he did not even dare to say anything to him. Zhu Jue decided to say "no", let alone bargain.

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

After receiving the reward, Feng Shaojie knew that it was his turn to show his sincerity and took the initiative to speak.

"A competitive game in Thousand Sails City?"

Zhu Jue frowned, turned his upper body slightly, and glanced at Lisanna next to him. The latter took a step back, left the screen, and moved to the living room opposite Zhu Jue to start searching for information in this regard.

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

"Yes, about half a month ago, I went to Qianfan City to interview a partner due to business issues. It happened to be the beginning of this game. I still remember the scene at that time. We put on something that looked like The equipment of the helmet, and then the consciousness appeared in a huge viewing stand. It was not a common game stand, but a trading platform with many functions. You can see many things on it, various dirty scenes, battles, Killing. I must first declare that I have no interest in these acts. I just had to accompany my friend there due to work reasons."

Perhaps because he was worried that the monk would misunderstand him as an evil and dirty person, Feng Shaojie went out of his way to explain himself.

As for whether the friend he talks about is himself, that is open to question.

"Just watching?"

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

"There is gambling here. There will be 50 or more contestants in the whole game. They call these 'volunteers', and we are 'players'.

The contestants were gathered in a place. I'm not sure where it was, but judging from the surrounding environment, it should be a place where low-level civilians live. All contestants were required to kill within a limited time, except for a few. People will survive to the end, and viewers will place bets ranging from tens of thousands to millions depending on the performance of the contestants. "

"In my impression, there seem 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 and regulations. Do whatever you want within the time.”

In order to gain the monk's favor, Feng Shaojie recalled everything he saw, but Zhu Jue became more and more frightened.

The so-called "volunteers", that is, volunteers, are undoubtedly the "murderers" who appeared all over the world during this period. This part of the content is also mentioned in the recording content in the possession of Yi Meng.

It's just that what Feng Shaojie mentioned does not include the arrival of alien consciousness, or the theory similar to the "brain in a vat" mentioned by Suzi.

Because Feng Shaojie didn't participate many times, he didn't know the inside story. Or is it that someone deliberately concealed this part of the content?

In the past, Zhu Jue often dealt with monsters that were sources of mental pollution. They were terrifying, but in the final analysis, they were still humans versus monsters.

Under such a premise, Zhu Jue does not need to think too much about good and evil morality. He can just take action directly when facing these indescribable monsters. The occasional communication with humans is mostly to resist the abnormal situations or situations of monsters that are the source of mental pollution. It's the Archaeological Association, and its scope always revolves around monsters that are the source of mental pollution.

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

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