Chapter 590 Eight Guests
Chapter 590: Chapter 590 Eight GuestsWhen Huang Junjie was pushed aside, he felt something was off. It wasn’t until the elevator started moving downward that he realized Tan Yang wasn’t with him. He tried to press the stop button on the elevator, but the control panel was completely blocked, and the players in front didn’t seem to have any intention of moving.
Just as Huang Junjie withdrew his hand, someone next to him grabbed the person blocking the control panel, "What are you doing in the way? We want to go down."
Huang Junjie looked up in shock, only to see Sima Xiao’er remove his mask and slap the buttons, lighting up most of the floors.
The people in the elevator, who were facing the door, now all turned their heads and silently stared at him, creating a rather eerie scene.
Sima Xiao’er was not intimidated and instead said, "What are you looking at? Have you never seen people take an elevator?"
Guan Zuhong and Xiao Zhang, who were with him, were somewhat nervous. Huang Junjie wanted to give a warning, but he didn’t dare to open his mouth as he couldn’t tell whether the people nearby were Twin Snakes members or other players.
The elevator opened and closed, closed and opened, and when it stopped on the sixth floor, everyone inside suddenly moved, pushing and shoving their way out. Sima Xiao’er, who wanted to stay, was also forcibly pushed out by someone holding his shoulder. When he looked up, he saw several black-robed figures standing outside.
One of them said, "Please come with us."
Sima Xiao’er had no intention of going, but the masked players around him forcefully carried him to follow the persons in black robes.
"Where are you taking us?" Sima Xiao’er shouted, "What does Twin Snakes actually want to do?!"
No one paid any attention to him, but immediately after, he discovered he couldn’t speak anymore and turned his head to look for Guan Zuhong. However, everyone around him had on identical masks, making it impossible to tell who was who. After a fruitless
At this moment, the door inside the restaurant opened, and a person in a gray robe walked out, followed by several in black robes carrying chairs. After arranging the chairs properly, the person in a gray robe formally invited everyone to sit down, and explained the earlier incident, "It was all a misunderstanding. We only invited eight players originally. These few were trying to stir up trouble by sneaking in, so we had no choice."
With that, he gestured for the black-robed persons to retract their props and release the individuals, "Only the eight friends wearing white masks are guests of the Twin Snakes. Please, see them out."
Sima Xiao’er and the others hadn’t recovered from their shock when Huang Junjie hesitated, about to speak, but a white-masked figure standing by the table intervened, "You say you invite guests, then send them away as you please. I think none of us need to stay any longer, it’s clear this is a trap."
Hearing this familiar voice, Huang Junjie and Sima Xiao’er looked over at once.
Xu Huo’s gaze swept over the player with the prayer beads and then continued to incite the others, "This resort isn’t Twin Snakes’ territory. We’re all players here using this place to trade freely, coming and going as we please. You have no right to detain or dismiss us."
"We’re all players, so why does the Twin Snakes put on such airs? Do you think you can just lock us in here with your props? Don’t forget we still have tickets!"
Hearing his words, the players, who were somewhat constrained by the earlier intimidation, echoed in agreement, "Speak up if there is an issue, let’s fight if necessary; what’s with all this sneaky business?"
The person in the gray robe looked at Xu Huo with an unkind expression and then chuckled, "I was not aware of everyone’s doubts, but the invitation list was not decided by us."
He walked to the back wall, reached out, and pulled down the red cloth covering it. Behind the cloth were three framed oil paintings, each depicting a different scene. From left to right, the first painting showed a great fire consuming the world, with countless people perishing in the flames. The second depicted the emergence of three luminous figures from the seeds of fire, extinguishing the blaze wherever they appeared. The third showed these three radiant figures spreading their light to all corners, completely eliminating the fire, with millions of suffering people kneeling at their feet in allegiance.
"It has a strong religious vibe," said the player with the prayer beads, moving in front of the paintings and awkwardly mimicking a religious gesture. He asked the person in the gray robe enthusiastically, "Is this a newly established religion? Do you need devotees?"
Compared to others, this player’s enthusiasm was ridiculous. The person in the gray robe glanced at the prayer beads, crosses, and other items in his hand, pretended not to hear, and turned to address the others, "Actually, these are three prophetic paintings."
