Doomsday Wonderland

"I have a... guess, based on... a copy of my previous experience." When Pan Cui spoke, as if she did not dare to use too many vocal cords, she carefully covered her neck with one hand, and her voice sounded hollow. Fluttering and hoarse.

When Peter on the portrait greeted everyone to sit down, and asked an invisible servant to serve them invisible drinks and snacks, several evolutionaries knew that this scene did not know how to characterize it. Weird thing, I'm afraid it will last a long time.

The portraits can sit at the table and drink, and they have no reason to stand stupidly; Lin Sanjiu simply took out a few chairs and let everyone sit down. The portraits surrounded them, and the words and conversations came one after another. Below the light source more than ten meters high, it felt like there were ten windows, and each window stretched out a face staring at the crowd.

After several attempts, Pan Cui also found a way to speak reluctantly, but occasionally some tones could not come out, and she could not speak too much at once. She eased her breath at this time, and managed to find a gap in the chat between the portraits discussing drinks and wine, and said, "I have participated in the ... plot copy, and I need to go through a story line and find out the answer. These Portraits...maybe characters in the story."

Lin Sanjiu had also experienced a similar dungeon; she and Pina both nodded and said, "I think it's very similar to that situation."

But Jia Jiatian didn't seem to have experienced the plot copy, and asked with great interest: "Really? You all think so? It's like that kind of... murder dinner detective game? I don't know who will die?"

"Hello everyone, you should have noticed the difference tonight. So, before we get into the theme of tonight's party, let the newcomers say a few words and introduce themselves."

Peter cut off the chatter of the portraits with the sudden, clanging thud of a wine glass; the cave was soon quiet after he had said these few words. Although there was no change in the faces on any of the portraits, Lin Sanjiu still had an illusion, as if the portraits were all focused on them.

"They... Could it be that they can hear us?" Pina was a little panicked and said in a very small voice.

Before Lin Sanjiu could respond, Nika's voice, which seemed to be always happy, came from his portrait. "Pina? What did you say? Do you want to come first?"

The portrait seems to... actually can hear a few people talking.

The four of you look at me, I look at you, all are a little stupid, I don't know if the conversation just now was heard, and how much - Pina was asked on the head, even if she didn't know what to do, she had no choice but to Biting his head, he coughed.

"That... I am very grateful to Nika and Peter for inviting us to come..." Pina said to the empty cave and a circle of portraits without embarrassment: "I and Lin Sanjiu are both honored..."

It should be enough to fool a few scenes, right?

After a few people had gone through the self-introduction part, a word suddenly sounded out from the portrait of Hu Leiwen - "Interesting," his voice whispered in the silence: "Not a single newcomer mentioned. And the nature of our party."

Several evolutionaries looked at each other, not knowing how to react. They still listened to Raven before they realized what the "nature" of this party was.

Jia Jiatian hesitated for a while, probably because of his young age, when he was about to answer Lei Wen, he was suddenly pressed by Pan Cui on his shoulder. She frowned, scribbled on the notebook for a while, and then handed the notebook to Kakada.

Jia Jiatian glanced at the book, then pursed his lips, and passed the book to Pina and Lin Sanjiu.

"When the portraits were chatting just now, there were background sounds such as wine glasses colliding, and before the portraits talked to people, they would call each other or say hello to each other." After the first sentence in the book, Pan Cui started a new line. , wrote: "But in the inner monologues we first heard, the background was very quiet. The background of Raven's words was also very quiet... Most importantly, the other portraits reacted a little to his words. nothing."

Seeing this, Lin Sanjiu understood what Pan Cui meant.

The next sentence on the book was as expected: "I suspect that Raiwen's sentence is his inner monologue. Wouldn't it be too suspicious if we rashly react to other people's inner monologue?"

Pina took the book and wrote down a line. "In other words, the dialogues and monologues of the portraits will be mixed together?"

After Pan Cui read the book, she nodded slightly - she didn't dare to touch the wound on her neck.

"Everyone should be clear about the reason for our gathering. I'm not humble enough to say that before you, the six of us have studied this issue for a long time, collected a lot of information, and made a lot of progress."

It was not just his voice that sounded in Peter's portrait. If you listened carefully, you could also hear a rustling background sound similar to a recording.

"However, we all know that, as the only group of people in the world who know the truth, the closer we are to the truth, the more likely we will be discovered by them and the more likely we will be approached by them. So it's not enough to just rely on the six of us. Get a head start, protect yourself, and even go further... We all need more freshmen."

Jia Jiatian frowned and made a mouth shape, as if saying "what the truth".

"For safety's sake, please tell the newcomers about your past history." Peter's next request made everyone stunned.

"Do I need it too?" Jia Jiatian couldn't help asking.

"I know you are Minna's nephew, and I have met your parents." Peter said calmly, "but the last time we saw you, you were still a little kid. Your parents sent you to study abroad for many years, so Over the years, anything can happen... or even more seriously, you are not the Jia Jiatian we met before, it is also possible."

Is it enough to just talk about history? What does this prove?

The most important thing is, what is the reason for a normal person to suspect that his nephew may have been impostor?

Questions were heavily pressed into the air; Lin Sanjiu turned to look at the sudden writing sound, and found that Pan Cui had written another sentence, "We need to inquire about the nature of this gathering as soon as possible."

Although the requirements are odd, for a few evolutionaries, it is not difficult to make up a personal history, as long as you are careful not to give any details that can be falsified on the spot. And Kate, the online show host who invited Pan Cui to come, also endorsed Pan Cui a few words, which also allowed a few people to pass this level smoothly.

"I know there are some things that can't be mentioned," Nika said suddenly, and in the background sound, he seemed to put down the wine glass in his hand. "I just want to ask, Peter, are you sure? A person with a simple background that never existed before, and borrowing this person...I find it hard to imagine."

What are you doing with this person? Lin Sanjiu was so anxious that he wanted to yell at him - this person always spit out half of what he said, and it was very uncomfortable to hear it.

"It's our latest theory, otherwise it's hard to explain something that happened in the past," Peter replied. "Of course, the theory also needs to be verified."

What kind of nonsense is this all about?

Lin Sanjiu turned to look at the other three, and found that their faces were also worried.

"It's not easy to handle now," said Teacher Yi, "the six of them already have 'internal cognition', so they don't need to make it clear every time, and each other knows what the other is talking about. In addition, there are still some things that can't be said. Mention, only a few newcomers are kept in the dark, but it's even harder to crack..."

"Maybe only one or two, maybe all four."

A quiet sentence rang out from Raven's portrait - several evolutionaries couldn't help but pause; this sentence was obviously his inner monologue.

"Four", certainly refers to a few newcomers of them; but, what might they "are"?

"Wait a second," said Teacher Yi in a low voice, "there may be more clues in the monologue..."

"I'm choked to death, but I'm so thirsty," Kate suddenly said in a monologue, "Ah... just hold on."

Several people exchanged suspicious glances with each other.

"I don't know if what Peter promised me can come true." Scott, the pale man running for the local councillor, also heard a monologue in the portrait. "The campaign funds that I raised last time are almost exhausted. If I don't increase my public support as much as possible, it will be difficult to get the following funds... Can he really use this method to give me unexpected abilities? "

Pan Cui was agitated, and quickly recorded the clue that Scott just gave in the notebook - "Peter promised Scott to use a certain method to give him a certain ability".

After the two monologues, the portraits quickly resumed their previous chat—only this time, almost as if it had been arranged in advance, each evolutionary was pulled into a conversation by a portrait.

"It's disgusting," Kate found Lin Sanjiu and said lightly, "Look, I didn't drink anything, but the servant accidentally spilled red wine... I can't see the road, why bother? Let her come."

Lin Sanjiu glanced at her portrait, and suddenly realized that Kate's cuff was actually stained with red wine.

"Don't tell your parents about tonight's matter..." On the other side, the portrait of Ming Na was instructing Jia Jiatian.

Lin Sanjiu looked around and found that Nika was chatting with Pina, while Scott and Pantry talked about how to use the online platform to win the votes of young people; Kate, pricked up her ears.

In the cave, everyone's voices were rolling like porridge, and under the waves of noise and echoes, she almost didn't catch Raven's voice.

"...why didn't the precautions be used?" His voice was almost indistinguishable. "Everyone knows that this could allow us to be monitored..."
