Death Game: Starting as a fraudster, pretending to be a god - Chapter 559
There are still four hours left before the official start of the nightly night Huoxing’s coming-of-age ceremony dinner.
In the exhibition hall, gifts that are of high value, highly innovative, and have a high status as gift givers have been placed in display cabinets one by one.
Among them, the largest display cabinet in the exhibition hall is also the most eye-catching center of the entire exhibition hall. Naturally, it is the octopus aquarium presented by “Forpolo”!
At this time, some nobles and company managers with lower titles, less power, and not the top in the upper class circles had arrived in advance to visit the exhibition hall.
Everyone couldn’t help but sigh when they saw the little pink octopus in the aquarium sometimes swimming and sometimes sitting on the rockery in the aquarium.
“Is this the ‘octopus’? It’s the first time I’ve seen it.”
“Compared to those deep-sea fishes… this thing looks simply weird. It actually has eight tentacles.”
“Besides, it’s unexpectedly very beautiful.”
“It’s not that the ‘octopus’ is good-looking, but this one is good-looking!”
“Most octopuses rarely see such a beautiful pink color, they are all gray.”
Obviously, this aquarium beat out the gifts given by other princes and nobles and was placed in the C position not because of any behind-the-scenes operation – in terms of the degree of discussion and the degree of shock it brought to the residents of the Nightless City, it was placed in this position Absolutely deserved.
Of course, although the giver of this gift, “Forpolo”, was just a commoner without a title, he was still highly discussed.
“Speaking of which… I heard that Forpolo, who gave you this aquarium, seems to be planning to pursue the Evernight Fire Apricot?”
“No wonder it costs so much… Where did a commoner get such an aquarium?”
“He is the aide of Evernight Sky Huole. During the attack on Wanjin Tianzao the day before yesterday, it is said that he saved the lives of Evernight Sky Huole and Sheng Lankui – probably by borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha!”
“Sheng Lankui? Isn’t this also the suitor of Evernight Sky Fire Apricot?”
“Yes, he is now both Sheng Lankui’s competitor and his savior.”
“But his relationship with Evernight Huole is even closer – yesterday he was wanted by the Public Security Bureau for killing three middlemen on the property of Solens’ house. It was Evernight Huole who personally settled the matter for him. , and even had a conflict with the Solens family…”
“If he was working for the Evernight Family while also making friends with the Shenglan Family, then it would be reasonable for the Solens Family to frame him…”
“I heard it’s not a frame-up – those three are related to the ‘Assassin King Commission’ that has been making a lot of noise recently…”
“In other words, he is also related to this commission?!”
“Silence…don’t start talking about this!”
For the people at the bottom of the city that never sleeps, nothing big may have happened recently.
But for these powerful people who stand in the top circles, the city that never sleeps has been very chaotic recently, with all kinds of after-dinner talk happening in an endless stream.
After the exchange of information today, everyone was slightly surprised to find…
Not only are these incidents vaguely related, but a civilian is actually involved!
Taking “Aquarium” as an opportunity, everyone became more and more impressed by the name “Forpolo”.
In the exhibition hall, President Paris received the guests with a smile on his face. Hearing everyone’s heated discussion, he couldn’t help but speculate again.
“What is this guy planning?”
Although Paris knew part of the answer to the mystery, he was very calm at the moment, but because he didn’t know the full extent of Lin Yu’s plan, he couldn’t help but be a little curious.
While thinking, President Paris also began to notice the first signs of anomalies in the exhibition hall.
A tall, thin man wearing a uniform of a Truth Company employee, who looked like he had been temporarily hired as a waiter, and who was expected to be serving drinks at the buffet party, passed by, carrying two heavy bags in his hands.
Paris immediately stopped him.
“Hey, wait a minute, kid.”
He looked at the other person and frowned slightly.
The tall and thin man looked at Paris blankly, and then said: “What are you doing?”
Paris looked at the other person up and down and said seriously.
“You’re new here, right? Why didn’t you bring your ID card outside?”
The man was a little nervous, and then said: “ID card? I seem to have forgotten to bring it, this…”
Paris raised his hand and stopped him.
“How could you forget to bring something so important?” Then, Paris waved, and a security guard ran up, “Do you have a blank spare card?”
“Yes, President!”
The security guard took out a spare card, and Paris turned the back of the card outward, revealing the logo of Truth Company, and then stuffed it into the gap in the other person’s uniform on his chest.
“Okay, let’s get going – remember to bow when you see important people and nobles!”
“If you don’t bring your ID card, the party will start and if you enter the kitchen or wine cellar, the police will beeping and it will beeping, which will be very bad!”
He said, patted the other person, and then let the other person go.
Then, Paris looked at the other party’s back and nodded with satisfaction.
Paris’ eyes were very poisonous, and he could tell at a glance that the other person was not an employee of Truth Company who came to help with the decoration and serve as a waiter.
This guy has the feeling of poverty from an outsider, and he is not an ordinary poor person.
Most of the guests attending this coming-of-age ceremony were nobles. Even those who were company managers were born in the inner city. Their parents were respectable upper-class people, and both parents were residents of third-class or above.
So, they are not as familiar with the poor as Paris – they can also feel the different temperaments of the outer city, the lower class residents, and the poor, but they can’t tell them apart.
Generally speaking, the temperament of the poor who entered the three major companies is often humble and self-abased, but they also have a hopeful and fortunate feeling.
They can see a corner of the luxurious life of the real upper class and the aristocracy in the three major companies, which will make them feel extremely inferior and envious.
This is different from the fear and awe of the ordinary outer city poor and small company employees.
But at the same time, entering a large company has also changed their original lives. Even if they feel unfair, looking back at their miserable lives in the past and comparing them with the present, or even comparing them with their old friends and poor relatives who stayed in the outer city, they often have a sense of pride and hope.
But the guy just now didn’t have that – although he was a poor man in the outer city, he was neither afraid nor inferior in front of the aristocrats, but instead had a deeply hidden feeling of hostility and hatred.
This feeling is usually only felt by the desperate people among the poor ghosts, those gang members and mercenaries – just like the former self.
In Paris’s opinion, if the lower and middle class residents of the city that never sleeps are compared to dogs, the company employees are pet dogs, and most of the people in the outer city are native dogs guarding the country.
But the one who just passed by was a stray dog…
Not only that, but it was a stray dog that had seen human blood – only this kind of stray dog would make him feel dangerous.
If it were normal times, Paris would have asked someone to take him down long ago.
But now…
“It’s probably someone arranged by Forbolo, so just give him a break.”
