Chapter 166 Book signing event (Part 1) ggggggg
Lin Jie finally struggled to buy a mask. Fortunately, it was a hot day, so the entrance was opened early. They lined up at the back of the line and entered the hotel very quickly.
The signing event is on the fourth floor of the hotel and you need to take the elevator upstairs.
The staff, wearing masks and hats, were guiding us in front and were very polite.
The moment the elevator door opened, a red-background black-letter promotional picture came into view. It was the comic book "Blood Crystal Catastrophe" with four black characters, and the background was a dark red sky, a desolate black city ruins, and scarlet blood crystals scattered in every corner.
"Wow, so cool! These words seem to be glowing!"
When Lin Jie heard her friend's exclamation, she was also very excited, but because there were too many strangers around, she did not dare to show too much emotion, so she had to pretend to be calm, and secretly pinched her friend's clothes crazily.
But speaking of it, she always felt that they followed in? There seemed to be a few people in this group who were a little strange?
A friend used his phone to send a message: [Older people with chuunibyou syndrome, please be considerate. They are embarrassed? Why are they making such a fuss? I can only pretend to be calm (the cat shook its head)]
Lin Jie thought about it and it made sense, so she put aside her worries, raised her phone and took a picture of the promotional picture. When she put down her phone, the elevator arrived at the fourth floor.
When I turned around, a cool breeze with a strange fragrance blew in from the open elevator door, instantly dispelling the summer heat and making me shudder. I couldn't help but feel refreshed and comfortable.
Before the elevator door was fully opened, a figure suddenly flashed by on the right side of the elevator. The person had short black hair, bright red eyes, and a flying dress. He seemed to have come from another time and space. He smiled brightly at the people in the elevator, lively and agile, but disappeared in an instant like a gust of wind.
The elevator door opened completely.
Deathly silent? The elevator suddenly erupted with suppressed? screams, and several young people of the same age as Lin Jie and her friends held their hands? The machine chattered excitedly, and Lin Jie also opened her eyes wide, wondering if she had just hallucinated.
“3D virtual technology.”
A cold voice suddenly sounded above my head, and a strange young man in a tightly covered body passed by from behind and walked out of the elevator first, bringing a chill that made my skin crawl.
Following behind was a handsome man who looked a little older. He seemed to have just finished being confused and then he followed the young man out of the elevator unconsciously. He also quickly apologized to Lin Jie: "Sorry, did my brother bump into you?"
Lin Jie shook her head.
Her friend also pulled her out of the elevator quickly, taking pictures crazily towards the wall on the left.
Outside the elevator is a dark corridor with a soft carpet on the floor. Every half a meter, there are inlaid floor lights that light up faintly. The music coming from all directions is gentle and soft, and the immersion is very sufficient.
In addition, what is even more eye-catching is the giant screens projected on both sides of the wall. On the left side of the elevator is a screen that is two meters wide and one meter high. The picture on it is a scene that is particularly familiar to countless people.
The black-haired young man sat high on the top of a broken, ruined building, looking at the red clouds in the sky. Below him was an endless expanse of broken ruins, desolate and deadly, with a blood-crystal-covered alien wandering vaguely.
"Volume 1, Chapter 2? A screenshot from the comics."
Lin Jie is leaving? The consciousness said.
Unlike a static cartoon, this scene, which is magnified on a giant screen, is dynamic.
As if the hair was swaying in the wind, looking at the sunset, slowly blinking eyes, and looking across the curtain at the people in the corridor, then slowly raised the corners of his lips and quietly blinked his eyes, as if silently greeting.
Just like the figure that flashed by outside the elevator before, he accidentally came to reality, met them, and then went into the curtain in the blink of an eye and returned to his world.
Lin Jie couldn't help being in a trance for a moment.
My friend is more outgoing, holding his hand high and taking photos, muttering, "I thought it was a small workshop, and didn't expect much at first, but now it seems amazing. This technology is amazing, it must cost a lot of money, it's a big deal."
"You guessed wrong, this is a zero-dollar purchase."
A figure quickly passed through the crowd taking photos nearby, took out a red-glowing headband that looked like reindeer antlers from his backpack, stood next to the black-haired young man behind the curtain, and said to someone in the crowd, "Boss, please take a photo for me!"
Lin Jie heard the man next to her respond coldly: "Get lost."
Then, the staff also shouted: "It's almost time, please don't block the elevator entrance, let's keep going forward, and take pictures can wait until the book signing is over. Please move, don't take pictures. And sir, please take off your sunglasses, it's very dark inside, watch your step."
Being called by the staff, the man raised his hand and took off his sunglasses, revealing a pair of blue eyes that were particularly obvious even in the dim environment.
He muttered, "I think I walked into the wrong building..."
But looking at the surrounding scene, his interest was aroused, and he followed the crowd forward.
As everyone walked deeper into the corridor, the dynamic images projected on both sides of the wall were displayed one by one.
Starting from the alien prison, the convoy galloping through the desolate ruins, the Huangshi Village located at the edge of the forest but full of ease and laughter, the A3 base covered by gray fog caused by the beast tide, and the ruined city shrouded by rain under the dark sky.
It's like following the black-haired young man on this journey again. There are thrilling and exciting events, and scenes that are enough to be completely mosaiced, but more of them are lighthearted adventures and fun, which make people smile from the bottom of their hearts.
After a while, the staff suddenly found that there were three people missing from the team, and signaled everyone to take photos in a slightly larger rest area, and then walked back to look for the people who had fallen behind.
Lin Jie saw the staff impatiently take off the hat, then quickly put it back on, and hid the slightly long hair in a braid under the hat.
"This staff member seems familiar..."
Lin Jie felt vaguely like she had seen it before at the last comic convention, but soon her attention was drawn to it by her friend's loud shouting.
“Oh my god, so many dolls!” The friend squatted in the doll area in the corner and said quickly: “Yunzai, uncle, brother water monster, Chuli, Zaizhe, lion boss, chief priest… ah ah ah! This is too complete! I want them all! When will the official put them on sale…”
Lin Jie rushed over quickly, "What? A doll? What size? Is there a life-size one?"
It's a palm-sized Q-version doll, circled in the corner, tilted left and right in the sandbox, and fell into a piece, with a round body and small eyes, which looks particularly cute.
Lin Jie couldn't help but took out her cell phone and took pictures crazily.
There was also a group of people gathered at the table next to the single sofa, and they were surprised and said: "Set? Set! Set? Set!"
I opened it and saw, my goodness, it was empty.
The man holding the booklet froze in laughter, and said faintly, "Official, can you please show us the setting? What does the cover of the collection look like?"
"But from this point of view, it should be said that the official will soon launch a setting collection, a complete set of character dolls, postcards, bajis, night lights and other peripherals." Someone nearby speculated.
The young man with glasses, still wearing the red reindeer antler headband, walked to the sofa with a smile and said to the man sitting in the sofa with an impatient look on his face: "Boss, I was really shocked when I saw you at the hotel entrance. I thought you were going to drag me back... But I didn't expect you to have a ticket and even spend so much energy to provide technical support for this book signing event. Could it be that... you are also a fan of the anti-disaster!"
Chu Wenxi pulled the corners of his lips coldly, raised his eyelids, looked at the assistant in front of him who was wearing a colorful cardigan, a headband, and a pain bag, and said without hesitation: "Get out of here, stay away from me."
The young man with glasses pushed up his glasses and said, "Boss, don't look so disgusted. You have to know that in this kind of occasion, wearing a black suit? You are the odd one out... By the way, I have a pain suit in my bag, I'll lend it to you."
Chu Wenxi: "This month's salary will be cut in half."
The young man with glasses had just unzipped his backpack and turned around immediately after hearing this. "Oh, it's so lively over there. I'll go check it out. I didn't hear anything just now."
Chu Wenxi sighed and continued to look down at his phone. Artificial Intelligence 03 was remotely controlling all matters at the signing event venue to ensure that no accidents occurred.
At this time, in the corridor.
The staff found the three guys who had fallen behind, and they were all standing in front of a screen. The content being shown was the A3 base's outer [heart] turning into a "sun" rising high, and on the ground was the scene of the silver-haired chief priest fighting the lion boss.
There were three people standing in front of the curtain. One was wearing a hood and was dressed tightly, looking suspicious. Another was tall and blond, wiping his tears with a tissue and sobbing from time to time. Another stood behind the two with a helpless look on his face, sighing non-stop.
The staff member's eyelids jumped, and he walked up and asked, "Gentlemen, what happened?"
The blond man sobbed, "I also have a sister, so when I saw this scene, I suddenly couldn't help it... wuwuwu..."
The suspicious person dressed in black said calmly, "I saw this guy crying halfway through the walk, so I came to comfort him."
The man standing next to the suspicious person breathed a sigh of relief, showing a look of relief that "luckily I didn't say the wrong thing", then turned to the staff and said, "Excuse me, did we stay too long? Let's go over now."
The staff member turned around and led the way, saying, "Please hurry up. And that gentleman, the atmosphere here is very strong, so if you feel the same way, it is normal, don't think too much. In the last group I led, someone fell down in front of the three paintings at the end of the corridor and shouted something like "I don't want to be a three-dimensional person anymore."
Blond man? His attention was diverted. "Then I want to see how exciting the three paintings at the end are."
After saying that, he turned around and continued walking along the corridor.
The suspicious person, who was dressed tightly, glanced at the staff who also covered their faces, chuckled in an ambiguous way, and also moved.
Now the last person is left. He looked at the staff and smiled awkwardly: "Excuse me, my brother may not be in the right state recently due to his art. I will take him to the hospital this afternoon."
Staff: "It's okay, please go away."
"Okay? Okay?"
The last person also hurried to catch up with the team.
The staff member walked at the end, his eyes flickered and fell on the dynamic images on both sides of the wall, and he couldn't help but make a slight "tsk" sound.
He took off his hat and shook it in the wind. The bottom of the braid on the back of his head was faintly red.
…
Lin Jie squatted in the corner of the rest area and took more than a dozen photos of the many dolls. About five minutes later, the staff came back with three people.
"Please keep going forward. Please be prepared for what's next. Pay attention to your breathing rate. You can talk to your companions to relieve your tension."
Lin Jie was just wondering why the staff reminded her like that. She walked through the door on the other side of the lounge and into the second corridor. It was as if the drums were hitting her soul. Suddenly, the drums sounded, with 360° surround 3D sound, which made her heart skip a beat.
On the right hand side, a huge giant slowly appeared at the junction of the desert and the sky, with wind and sand and black shadows intersecting, accompanied by waves of drums, full of oppression.
On the left hand? side, a pitch-black? snake-like creature? was? wandering? on the? sand? surface,? with yellow sand flying? and? suddenly? attacking? the? people? in? the? corridor,? opening? a? mouthful of? hideous? sharp? teeth,? and? finally? turning? into? pitch-black,? and? when? it?s? back? to? wandering? on? the? sand? when? it?s? back? to? the? scene? of? wandering? on? the? sand?. The? whole? animation? of? less? than? ten seconds? is? exceptionally? shocking.
There were exclamations all around.
Lin Jie was tightly held by her friend's arm. She heard her nervously say, "No wonder when I sent a text message to inform you of the change of address, I came to ask if you had heart disease or something like that. Damn it! I was so scared! But..."
Lin Jie replied: "Exciting!"
Her eyes sparkled, and she was obviously very excited.
The first corridor shows the scenes from the first volume, and the atmosphere is light and leisurely. Although the A3 Sunfall dungeon is also very exciting, the music is still slow and leisurely, so the immersion is not as deep as here.
The staff clapped their hands to attract the attention of the crowd: "Can you adapt? If not? Then we can try another route..."
Before he finished speaking, a group of young people hurried past and rushed deeper into the corridor.
“F-Fuck ahhhhhhh this feels so good, so exciting, so wonderful ahhhhh!”
"I want to see Base 23? That will cause the red cloud to weigh down and the base? Collapse!"
"I want to see the Kingdom's? The arrogant version of Yunyan!"
“The final battle! The final battle! Ahhhhhhh—”
The staff paused as the sound of "Ah" lingered in the air. They saw a group of people in front of them passing by quickly and mightily, and they seemed to be unable to keep up with the slow pace of the previous team.
Staff: "...Okay. Everyone, please watch your step?, don't run?, safety? is the most important... Hey, you with blue eyes?, take off your sunglasses?!!"
