Capítulo 808: Chapter 787: Mr. Di
As one of the five major companies, the rcury Group already collaborates with many investigators.
Moreover, part of the Exploration Bureau’s material supply is handled by the rcury Group.
Correspondingly, the group also has access to so information about the Exploration Bureau and has specifically inquired about Luo Di.
The latest intelligence indicates that Luo Di, this special exploration investigator, not only has good relationships with various ministers, but also holds an important position in the Corner’s largest organization, Vortex Town.
The most crucial point is that Luo Di is only twenty-two years old.
The rcury Group is clearly aware of how high his individual value is. Since he actively approached to help, they naturally have to give their full support.
In a universe with a growth system in place, the standards for asuring personal worth have completely changed, an individual’s worth can be higher than a collective, surpass a nation, and even transcend an entire world.
Among the investigators currently in cooperation with the rcury Group, Luo Di’s personal value is the highest, without exception.
Just after one night,
the movie “Stench” was already being shown nationwide, occupying at least 30% of screens in major cinemas.
At the sa ti, the image poster of the lead, Mr. Di, was being placed in multiple cities across the country.
The company also recorded a dynamic image with an oppressive sensation for Luo Di, where he donned a mask, donned work boots, and held a black knife as he walked toward the cara.
Using light and shadow effects, it was displayed in comrcial plazas, landmark buildings, etc.
Then, they spent a large sum of money purchasing traffic on major dia websites and mobilized the group’s internal entertainnt handlers.
Following these operations, discussions about “Mr. Di” instantly beca a hot topic, and the corresponding movie “Stench” was feverishly recomnded due to its high reputation.
The movie trailer was soon reposted over ten million tis, and the number of viewers surged crazily.
However,
although the movie’s popularity soared nationwide, and the lead “Mr. Di” appeared in the public’s sight.
Luo Di always maintained a mysterious aura by never showing his true face, nor participating in any premiere ceremonies.
Additionally,
on the day of the nationwide release, all viewers would receive a Murderer-styled card from the staff.
The card would ask for personal information and viewing impressions,
Of course, most people wouldn’t waste ti as they had to work the next day, and the personal information required by the card was too detailed, even leading to reports from so personnel.
Only a few truly captivated individuals would earnestly fill it out, fueled by the lingering warmth after the movie ended.
These completed cards were sealed by the theaters and handed over to the rcury Group.
Internal specialists would individually review them, eventually selecting 500 viewers from all over the country and issuing invitations on behalf of the group.
Hoping they could gather at Mingwang City the following day for a special lead et-and-greet.
However, the group wouldn’t cover any travel or accommodation fees, nor did they elaborate on any content of the eting.
Moreover, a danger warning was attached, indicating potential elents of risk at the et-and-greet, advising against participation by viewers with low endurance.
…
The next day at Mingwang City, at nine o’clock at night.
Over three hundred people arrived here, evident through this unique selection, these three hundred people deservedly wore the tag of “Extre Fans”.
Certainly, the rcury Group’s maneuvers also attracted the attention of the World Bureau. Such actions, in severe terms, even posed risks of promoting extre personal worship and fabricating beliefs.
Among these three hundred, so covert operatives from the World Bureau mingled, skilled enough to reach quasi-investigator levels.
They were guided by the group personnel to an abandoned opera house, coincidentally the area of a large rift incident breaking out months ago.
Surrounding this neighborhood was desolate, awaiting reconstruction.
The lead, “Mr. Di”, awaits everyone at the deepest part of the opera house. Whoever finds Mr. Di will receive a collectible disc of the movie “Stench” along with a handwritten signature.
Besides, you will also have the chance to ask Mr. Di a question.
Everyone is free to move now.”
The fans hesitated slightly but, considering a large company like the rcury Group handled the event, they assud it wouldn’t be too dangerous, and each entered in turn.
[Ruan Jie]
A young man of Huaxia descent who traveled from Jupiter City.
He had just graduated school with diocre grades and barely secured a security job at a company, but his work seed unsatisfactory.
He had a deep affection for horror culture, reading various books from childhood, and watching all sorts of films.
The movie “Stench” particularly gave him an entirely distinct feeling, prompting a special question he wished to ask the lead personally.
Now, he also entered the abandoned theater along with the crowd.
Gradually, the people around him dwindled, a faint mist seed to separate everyone.
Ruan Jie soon found himself alone, initially thinking it was a et-and-greet, but carrying no weapons.
He lacked actual skill, his only combat experience coming from a simulated test during graduation admissions, where he lasted barely three minutes.
The loneliness ignited fears.
Upon recalling the notion of the et-and-greet, he realized it seed eerie everywhere.
While Ruan Jie began suspecting possible dangers here,
the sound of chains dragging interrupted his thoughts, breaking the tranquility.
Under the flashlight’s beam, sothing seed to erge from the misty depths.
As the sound grew closer, a grotesque figure adorned with spiked shackles crawled over with an extrely twisted posture.
“Pseudo… Pseudo-Person!? Why is there a Pseudo-Person?”
Ruan Jie panicked at once, instinct pushing him to flee.
No matter how he ran, the chain sounds lingered behind, the passage seed interminable.
Exhaustion slowed him down, fear of death coiled around his heart like a snake… strangely, he wasn’t terrified to tremble or lose control of his bodily functions.
He was acutely aware of why he ca, of his intent to see Mr. Di, with an important question needing to be asked face-to-face.
Suddenly,
he caught a scent, carried by the wind from the Pseudo-Person… an odor.
In an instant, mories related to the movie flooded into his head, prompting him to mimic Mr. Di’s stance, snapping a nearby tal light fra as a weapon.
He stepped forward, aware of the possible deadly outco, but still wanting to give it a try.
Crack!
The light fra smashed into the Pseudo-Person’s skull, the blow splattering blood, yet not enough to be lethal.
Chains swung, sending him flying away, snapping all five fingers in the process, crashing heavily against the wall.
Strangely, Ruan Jie didn’t scream, his eyes hardened, almost bloodthirsty.
He still wanted to engage further with another hand.
But the Pseudo-Person was clearly enraged, quickly crawling to his front, leaving no chance for resistance, its gory hand about to crush his skull.
Swoosh!
One slash cleaved through.
Ruan Jie was montarily stunned,
a youth not much older than him stood over, donned in a trench coat, work boots planting firm steps, effortlessly dispatching the extrely terrifying Pseudo-Person.
Aside from not wearing a mask, everything else resembled the lead.
Before Ruan Jie voiced anything, Luo Di had already withdrawn a disc gift from his coat.
“Nice work, where shall I sign?”
Ruan Jie glimpsed the Pseudo-Person’s decapitated corpse, hastily indicated his neck, “Here… Thank you, Mr. Di.”
After signing, Ruan Jie quickly posed a question: “I can ask you one question, right?”
“Yes.”
“I… around , there are many who look down on . I too seem capable of slling the odor just like you, only the source seems plentiful, the people around seemingly stink too.
Can I kill them all?”
“You slled the odor just now, didn’t you?”
Ruan Jie nodded, “Yes, it’s the odor from the Pseudo-Person! Just like those people!”
Snap!
Luo Di snapped his fingers gently, the mist receded.
The supposed decapitated Pseudo-Person vanished, only he and Ruan Jie remained.
A faint knife mark ran across his neck, it seed Luo Di didn’t cleave the Pseudo-Person but sothing else.
“There’s no Pseudo-Person here, only you and I… perhaps the odor isn’t around, but on yourself.”
“I…”
Ruan Jie was montarily stunned, suddenly recalling.
Starting from a month ago, he had been hearing all sorts of hallucinations from the rift, the sarcastic remarks from those around him were seemingly brainchilds of his own.
Before he could inquire further,
Mr. Di had already vanished,
leaving him alone in the empty hallway.
Sifting the scent again,
the odor on him seed less intense, slowly dispersing, slowly fading away.
“Thank you…”
Ruan Jie knelt down with utmost sincerity…
