After the captain's preface was finished, those people holding golden invitation tickets were talking in twos and threes.
Only old man Shen Yan was sitting alone in the corner.
He silently observed the scene around him, making sure that Xu Cheng had not left the ballroom.
Because only Xu Cheng himself is here, the old man has enough hidden cards to find out the foundation of the Star Chamber of Commerce!
He stood up from his seat, turned a few corners, and came to the captain.
The captain raised his head and saw the old man.
The old man naturally sat next to the captain and said with a smile, "Let me ask you a few questions."
The captain's eyes instantly became serious, and he knew exactly who the little old man opposite him was.
That skinny, short old man controlled almost all the underground forces and resources in Haicheng.
Hao said without exaggeration that if he could get his support, even the witnesses would no longer be able to interfere in the situation in Haicheng.
By then, Haicheng will become the most unbreakable fortress of the Star Chamber of Commerce!
For such people, it is naturally best to control them, but if you cannot control them, you need to try your best to win them over.
"Mr. Shen, it's an honor to meet you."
"Don't use your translation accent, it makes me feel uncomfortable."
The old man leaned back on his seat and said without the slightest hint of politeness in his tone, "I'm very good at judging people. You're not the kind of polite person. You pretend not to be."
“But our Chamber of Commerce attaches great importance to Mr. Shen’s ‘affirmation’.”
The captain's eyes twitched slightly, as if he was trying his best to suppress his thoughts, and asked patiently: "What questions do you have?"
"First of all, I know some very interesting terms, such as weird creatures, urban ghost stories, etc., so there is no need to talk nonsense."
The old man asked bluntly: "I just need to know what you are going to do on this new Wuming."
Captain: "Later..."
"I want to hear the answer now." The old man interrupted the captain.
For some reason, the captain felt that he was a little afraid of the old man's eyes.
So he paused and replied simply:
"We are fighting a war."
"With whom?"
"Weird creature."
"I heard that you have a good relationship with weird creatures."
"The lifeguard also has a good relationship with the water."
The captain retorted: "Long before the Star Chamber of Commerce appeared, there had been countless incidents of strange creatures arriving."
"In countless battles against strange creatures, people gradually became aware of the purpose of those unknown creatures——"
"They're trying to invade!"
The captain slowly explained: "The world seems to have been torn open one after another, and weird creatures are trying to come through those openings."
"As time goes by, those openings become more numerous and bigger."
"One day, weirdness will come to this world on a large scale, and it will be a torrent like a catastrophe!"
"The original intention of establishing the Star Chamber of Commerce was actually the same as that of the witnesses, which was to fight against strange creatures, but in the end we took a different path."
When the captain said this, the old man's mind changed slightly.
He smiled happily in his heart.
Witness - he really didn't know this name.
It can even be said that many of the information points contained in the captain's eloquent talk were the first time the old man had heard it!
Who allowed him to truly witness a corner of the extraordinary world just a few days ago?
Even an old man would find it difficult to access more useful information in just a few days.
Being able to investigate the four words "weird creature" is already quite remarkable.
So strictly speaking, the old man was actually trying to trick the captain just now, and he indeed came up with a lot of useful things!
Today's young people are too young and too simple...
On the other side, the captain's explanation continued.
"Witnesses believe that they can use their efforts from generation to generation to protect the secrets of strange creatures and allow most human beings to continue to live peacefully."
"But the Chamber of Commerce believes that mankind is destined to fail in this war with strange creatures."
"We must adapt in advance to the world after the arrival of the strange. That is the destined future of mankind."
"Instead of being washed away by the flood, it's better to learn to swim. Isn't that the truth?"
To show his sincerity, the captain took out his original energy block from his arms.
The faint blue crystal allowed the old man to get some unknown information.
"The purpose of the New Wuming going to sea is to prove that human beings can coexist with weirdness."
"We will use this new Wuming as a carrier to summon the strange arrival to prove this point!"
Having said this, the old man also figured out the purpose of the Star Chamber of Commerce.
"I understand who you are."
He concluded with a smile: "If aliens invade the earth, you will definitely choose the group that welcomes the aliens."
As soon as these words came out, the captain's eyes twitched even more fiercely.
He was furious, but he didn't dare to get angry at the old man.
After all, that is the target that the Star Chamber of Commerce needs to win over. If he offends him, the chamber of commerce will not let him go.
Just as the captain was thinking about how to answer the conversation, the old man suddenly raised the topic.
"You said you wanted to win over me, but do you know who I am?"
The captain paused.
Shen Yan mastered so many things that the captain was not sure how to describe him for a while.
But the old man suddenly introduced himself: "I open a marriage agency!"
captain:"……"
What the hell?
"I organize all the underground boxing matches in Haicheng, and for the participating fighters, I run a marriage agency!"
"If there are two people who want to compete no matter what, then I will arrange for them to fight. This is my job."
The old man said excitedly: "Do you know why I like to watch fighting?"
"Because 'fighting' is the behavior closest to human instinct!"
"Fighting is 'struggle', and it is precisely because of constant 'struggle' that human beings have been able to multiply from ancient times to this point."
"Fight against everything in sight - this is human nature!"
"It's fun to appreciate this instinct."
The old man took out his ears and took out the headphones from the Star Chamber of Commerce.
"For people like you, if you give up your instincts and give up the opportunity to fight, it's meaningless, so I'm not interested in your affairs."
Click!
The old man crushed the earphones and threw them on the ground in front of the captain.
He grinned and said with a smile:
"I won't play with you, because you are not fun at all!"
After saying that, he turned around and left.
But even after leaving, the old man was still plotting against the captain.
The direction he left the dance hall was close to the dance floor, which was the road closest to Xu Cheng's direction.
In this way, if the Star Chamber of Commerce really falls out, the old man also believes that Xu Cheng will help him.
After all, we are all elderly, so we should help each other.
Fortunately, the captain had no intention of taking action until the old man left the ballroom.
The old man walked to the door, shrugged his shoulders, turned and looked behind him.
He originally wanted to say hello to Xu Cheng before leaving, but when he turned around, he vaguely saw something.
That was an extremely bizarre scene——
The tall and burly Xu Cheng was punching hard and hitting the "dance partner" in front of him.
And the "dance partner", who was supposed to be a pretty little girl, now turned into an extremely twisted mantis-like monster!
Xu Cheng's fist slammed into the monster's face, and the sharp blade in the monster's hand cut off half of Xu Cheng's clothes.
The old man was stunned.
What is this...
He rubbed his eyes and looked again, only to find that Xu Cheng was still dancing with the beautiful partner beside him, nothing strange at all.
Are you blinded?
But soon, the old man denied his idea, because he clearly saw one side of Xu Cheng's clothes being cut off and falling at his feet!
Something's not quite right...
The old man's eyes moved slightly and he immediately made up his mind.
Run quickly and go back to your room!
It was obviously safer to be with Xu Cheng, but the old man's intuition only felt that there were two most dangerous "people" on this ship.
The first is Xu Cheng.
The second is the woman next to Xu Cheng!
…
After the old man ran away, the entire New Wuming suddenly swayed violently.
It was a big wave on the sea.
It's pouring rain!
Click! Boom!
A dazzling white light flashed, followed by deafening thunder.
In an instant, the lights in the entire ballroom suddenly went out.
In the pitch-black darkness, people in the ballroom suddenly had the illusion that a hurricane was blowing in the center of the ballroom.
That was Xu Cheng and the dancer. The two relied on darkness to avoid everyone's sight, and they were moving at a speed that ordinary people could hardly imagine——
