Chapter 278 Chapter 278
The room that Wang Yi arranged for the Chinese team was on the west side of the third floor. When they came to the terrace, they could see the distant coastline, as well as half of the strange area that looked like an upside-down black bowl.
It covers a very large area, at least four or five streets, only slightly smaller than the strange area that appeared in the capital of China.
"The teams from the United States and Silver Country have arrived." Gong Qian placed his hands on the balcony railing and looked towards the hotel's main entrance on the right. Two black business cars just drove in and stopped at the door.
Several young people got off the car, all wearing the same clothes. The people who got off the front car all wore black robes with silver edges and silver bone hand brooches on their chests. The people who got off the back car wore white clothes, but there were feather patterns on the hem and cuffs. A woman turned around and talked to the people next to her, and Gong Qian saw a black crow silhouette with its wings spread on the back of her shirt.
Which "god" each of them believes in can be seen from their uniforms.
"The Neon team also has butterfly tattoos and accessories on their bodies." Han Qi said, "Especially the guy named Bird Wing Butterfly, who has a butterfly tattoo on his neck and wears a butterfly necklace and ring."
Compared to the beaded fantasy butterfly and bright gray butterfly that appear later, she is wearing only a butterfly hairpin and pendant, which is relatively simple.
But no matter what, they are all believers of the Light Organization, and they are the only ones who are not believers, so they stand out among them.
"The influence of lights can be seen from this international support. Now we are the only ones who have nothing to do with lights." Su Sanan said with emotion.
Huang Tianzhen said with a smile: "Are we the last piece of pure land that has not been tainted by the lights?"
Qingtong: ...
No, there is no such thing as a pure land here.
The Chinese team, which appears to have nothing to do with the lights, is actually the one most closely connected to the lights.
"Now that everyone is here, let's go meet each other." Qingtong said.
After going downstairs, we saw that the Japanese team was already chatting with the American team. Two people from the Silver Country team were also getting along very well with them. After seeing the Chinese team coming down, everyone looked at them and the scene was frozen for nearly ten seconds.
"Hi, nice to see you again." A blond boy from the American team stepped forward and held out his hand to Qingtong. "Do you remember me? I'm Jack, an American student who is training with you at the training base."
The boy's smile is as bright as the sun.
Qingtong smiled and shook hands back: "Long time no see."
He had an impression of this man. After Jack awakened, he had a disadvantageous ability and could hardly control himself. Every time he used his power, the blazing fire would make Gan Xiaoqing, who also had a fire element but could only act as a lighter, feel so jealous that he gritted his teeth.
Another reason why I remember this guy is that Jack once accidentally burned all his clothes and almost ran naked in front of everyone.
"When we were at the base, I knew you would become very powerful." Jack said with a smile.
"Hello, I'm Wesley, the captain of the American team." The leading man also extended his hand, "I hope the next operation will go smoothly."
"Yes, I hope so."
Qingtong greeted several people politely, and scanned everyone with his eyes. To his surprise, he saw several familiar faces.
Let's not talk about Jack for now. The captain of the United States, Wesley, appeared in the weird live broadcast room before the Red Sun. That was Carrett's first appearance "performance". Wesley was one of the few people who escaped by relying on his own ability and luck.
There are more familiar faces in the Silver Kingdom team, such as Liddell and Sean. They had appeared in the pseudo-weird realm where Crow first appeared. They were also saved by Crow, so it is not surprising that they became followers of Crow, but no one expected that both of them became awakened ones.
And that Liddell turned out to be the captain of the Silver Country team.
"We have also been trained at the base in China." Liddell nodded politely to Qingtong, "Thank you for your care."
The attitude of the other team members towards the Chinese team was not warm, but it was polite.
"Fortunately, I am studying in China." Han Qi whispered in Huang Tianzhen's ear, "Their attitude is not bad."
Otherwise, based on faith alone, there would be sufficient reason to be excluded.
"Four teams, four captains, now that we are all here, let's start the meeting." Liddell said, "The strange territory of Connor has appeared for some time. The longer we delay, the more dangerous the people trapped inside will be. It's better for us to act as soon as possible."
"I have no objection." Wesley nodded.
The captain of the Neon Country is a tall and thin young man with a dyed wolf-tail hair. He raised his hands, and the back of each hand was branded with half a butterfly wing. When he put his hands together, he formed a complete butterfly.
His name is the Oxalis butterfly. The name may seem rare, but it is actually a very common small butterfly, which does not match the man's unruly appearance.
"I'll solve it as soon as possible and go back as soon as possible." The sour butterfly looked down at her phone, staring at the screenshot of the live broadcast of the insect cocoon on the phone screen. "I hope I can go back tomorrow night and catch the next butterfly festival event."
Qingtong: ...
Are there festivals for insect cocoons in Japan?
Do you really want to become a god?
Seeing that the three captains were all looking at him, Qingtong said that he had no opinion.
The task given to him by the entity is to perform his job duties as 'Qingtong' well, and he will of course do his best.
The four support teams' positive attitude delighted the person in charge of Connor Country, who immediately sent over information related to the Strange Territory and even brought along a few people who had managed to get out of the Strange Territory alive to tell their experiences in person.
However, the contents of these people's narration were very chaotic and inconsistent, and it sounded like entering a different weird realm.
"I was on a mountain, walking along a mountain path, but I couldn't reach the end. There was fog all around me. I wanted to leave the path, but no matter how I turned, there was a road leading up the mountain." A lucky escapee said, "I was scared and thought my eyes were deceiving me, so I closed my eyes and rushed forward, and then... I got out just like that."
Well, it has no reference value.
Next.
"I was in the swimming pool, there were a lot of beautiful girls in bikinis," a man said awkwardly, "They were too enthusiastic, I was scared, so I ran away." Then he ran out by accident.
As for why he ran away? Because he didn't like women, that's all.
After hearing this reason, some people laughed secretly.
The third escapee was a woman, and her story sounded quite valuable.
"I was there when the strange land came. I was working there, selling fried chicken. It was my small shop. I really hope it is safe." The lady continued, "After the strange land appeared, there was thick fog around. I realized something was wrong and wanted to leave."
"Outside my shop is a street, a very busy commercial street. Usually there are many tourists inside, but since the Red Sun, the number of tourists has not been as many as before, and business has started to decline. Maybe I can change my livelihood in the future. Oh, sorry, let's get back to the topic, weird area, right? After I left the shop, I found that it was not a street outside, but the entrance to an amusement park, but it didn't look like a normal amusement park. The gate was written in blood, there was no one at the ticket office, only two severed hands selling tickets, and the one who released balloons was a rabbit with a sinister face. And inside... it was completely a bloody and horror version of an amusement park."
"I was a little scared, just a little." The lady continued, "Because I've watched horror movies before, I have some immunity. I... didn't do anything. I just followed the instructions at the door, bought a ticket, went in, experienced the three items inside, and left a good review in the evaluation column after I came out. Then, I came out like this."
It sounds simple, but Oxalis noticed something different.
"A reminder at the door?"
The lady nodded. "Yes, there was a sign on the door telling me to do something, so I did it."
She didn't know whether this was a real hint or a trap, and she didn't know what to do anyway, so she just gave it a try, and then she really got out.
"It's really unexpected that such a strange person could be so kind." Qingtong was really surprised.
The other three captains didn't say anything, but just looked at the documents in their hands in silence.
Hanqi quietly pulled Qingtong's clothes and winked at him.
'Qingtong' was puzzled.
Han Qi whispered in the captain's ear: "Don't say that in front of them."
The three teams who worship Denghuo should be careful to get beaten if they slander him in front of them.
Qingtong raised an eyebrow but did not respond.
The three teams would not be angry. In their eyes, the members of Denghuo were not weird, but gods.
They don't care what weird things have to do with the God they believe in.
Wesley and the person in charge of Connor asked for a map and marked the area covered by the strange area. Everyone else came over to take a look and got an idea.
The mysterious area covers a tourist attraction in the south of the city near the sea, where there is a mountain park, an entertainment center, and a small library.
The 'mountain', 'swimming pool' and 'amusement park' mentioned by the three survivors who escaped are all included.
And they are scattered in three places.
"But this is where they appeared after they escaped," Liddell said, pointing to a place that was a small intersection.
It’s a very ordinary intersection, but what’s interesting is that there is a small white church on the west side of the intersection and a wooden Buddhist temple on the east side of the intersection.
Looking at the two place names on the map, Huang Tianzhen couldn't help but complain: "Is this a face-to-face attempt to snatch believers?"
The gods on both sides are so close, won’t they fight?
Of course this is a joke. God is just a belief in our hearts and does not exist.
"Regarding this intersection..." The person in charge of Connor Kingdom stretched his neck and interrupted. He pointed to the north side of the intersection and said, "We plan to build a new temple in this vacant land to worship the god Serko. Recently, more and more believers have come to believe in the god Serko."
There are also many believers of the god Seker in the world. As a small country whose economic lifeline is tourism, it never forgets the needs of tourists.
Huang Tianzhen was stunned, he couldn't remember who this god was.
"It's a good idea. Lord Kairet is the messenger of God Serko. Don't forget his statue." Wesley said.
Liddell: "The statue of Lord Utor must not fall either."
"And there is also Lord Dieming." Sujiangdie added.
The person in charge of Connor looked at this and that, and said cautiously: "Then... take them all? This site might be..."
Oujiangdie pointed to the location of the church and the temple and said, "Why not move them to a different place?"
The person in charge of Connor State: "... Let's discuss this." This is not a decision he can make alone, but... maybe it's feasible? After all, it's just a move, not a demolition and then not rebuilding.
Huang Tianzhen finally remembered who the God Se Ke was: 6.
