Chapter 167 Deviation
"I have an impression." Wu Chang nodded.
Just based on your name, I can't forget you.
When Park Changmin saw that Wu Chang remembered him, his smile became even more intense, so intense that it was flattering.
"In recent years, President Li has been busy taking over the Xingtian Group and has been busy with affairs. I have never had the opportunity to invite you to visit our New Universe Church. The leader has always felt deeply regretful about this."
Park Changmin paused and said, "It happens to be our sect's annual team building now, and we are having a dinner on this ship. President Li, can you please come and visit the scene?"
Wu Chang looked at Park Changmin and sighed that these people were really thick-skinned.
Did his incarnation Li Zaishe have no time to visit? He simply disdained to visit!
In the original owner's memory, he always believed that the various strange religions that were rampant in Gaomu Country were essentially deceiving the fools.
Taking advantage of the anxiety and fear of the ignorant people, as well as the situation of being gradually marginalized, ignored or even ignored in society, they create a false sense of security and being needed for them, and then take the opportunity to plunder their already meager income and savings.
Lee Jae-se has always looked down on Park Changmin and his group. What kind of ability is it to harvest the lowest level who can hardly make ends meet?
Their Xingtian Group harvests the middle class and young people who have the ability to consume.
If it weren't for the votes, popular reputation and money laundering channels in the hands of the New Universe Sect, Lee Jae-se would feel dirty just looking at them.
If it were still the original Lee Jae-se, he would probably not give this face, but now the person inside has been replaced by Wu Chang, of course he has to take the opportunity to explore the bottom of the New Universe Sect.
"Okay, I actually always wanted to go to your sect to take a look, now?"
Wu Chang's initiative made it impossible for Park Changmin to deal with it. He had originally prepared to pester after being rejected, but before he could say anything, why did the other party take the initiative more than him.
"If it's convenient for you, now is the best time."
The place where the New Universe Sect believers live is located on the fourth floor of the Star Leap. The content of the team building is to reward outstanding believers. In order to let potential new believers feel the atmosphere of the sect, the believers brought their families, totaling more than 300 people.
For this reason, the New Universe Sect booked the left half of the fourth floor of the passenger ship.
When Wu Chang arrived, the entire left half had been decorated with a religious atmosphere. Wherever he looked, the logo of the New Universe Sect could be seen everywhere.
The huge buffet restaurant on the left half was temporarily transformed into a huge church.
The grill where the teppanyaki chef showed off his skills in front of the diners became the holy table for the priest to pray. The exquisite chairs were removed and replaced with a simple long table and a one-piece stool.
If a tourist who had not woken up walked in, he would definitely think that a church was distributing free lunch.
However, it is worth mentioning that the ingredients and chefs of the buffet restaurant were retained and not replaced with the free food distributed by the New Universe Sect on weekdays.
After all, the meal fee has been included in the boat ticket, and even the leeks cut by the church can't do the stupid thing of eating without suffering.
Passing through the church-style restaurant, Wu Chang followed Park Changmin to the deck, where the priest of the New Universe Church was praying with the believers.
The praying believers all had smiles on their faces, and they could see a kind of satisfaction and happiness emanating from their bones.
Just looking at the scene in front of him, he would not feel that the New Universe Sect and the Tranquility Sect had anything to do with each other.
But Wu Chang could not feel a trace of peace from the scene in front of him, because he could see with his naked eyes that the seeds of mysticism were planted in the bodies of every believer present.
Every time they prayed, a piece of skin would crack on their bodies, and the cracked skin would tremble and wriggle, and finally tear to both sides, revealing an extra eye.
Each believer in the field had five more eyes than a normal person. When Wu Chang stepped onto the deck for the first time, thousands of eyes were already looking at him.
Such intensive attention was enough to make social phobia patients autistic on the spot.
Park Changmin turned to look at Wu Chang, like a child showing off that he had just got full marks in the final exam, "President Li, what do you think of the prayer we held?"
Wu Chang maintained his aloof and domineering personality, staring into the eyes of thousands of people without changing his expression, and then nodded:
"Not bad, very atmospheric."
Park Changmin said with a pious face: "Such a peaceful atmosphere comes from the greatness and majesty of the Lord. We are protected by the Lord and do not have to worry about worldly sufferings. Naturally, we can be calm and pray leisurely."
Wu Chang agreed with Park Changmin's words. According to the standards of the Book of Revelation, the seeds of the believers in the field have reached the standard of maturity, and the soil has been buried to the hairline. There is indeed no need to worry about the secular world.
After showing off, Park Changmin made a gesture of invitation and invited Wu Chang to the reception room on the fifth floor to rest for a while.
In the reception room on the fifth floor, Park Changmin served coffee to several people and said:
"President Li, you have seen the activities of our New Universe Church. Religious activities, when expressing admiration for the Lord, are inevitably noisy. If it disturbs you, I hope you can understand."
Wu Chang sat on the sofa, looking at the believers praying below through the French window, playing with the arcane trial emblem in his hand.
The New Universe Sect has not started yet, and just from the prelude of prayer, he can feel the mystical pollution pouring into his body like a backflow.
As with the first job transfer task, the mystical pollution still starts from the head, starting with the eyes.
While waiting for coffee, he has completed one-third of the transformation of one eye.
The initial transformation of setting the anchor point of reality only allows him to see the energy of mysticism. After a deep and thorough transformation, the energy of mysticism is no longer a block of color in his eyes, but a concrete form.
For example, the prayers going on on the fourth deck appear as complex silk threads entangled together in his transformed eyeballs.
Each eye of the believers is the head of a silk thread, which is intertwined with each other and finally scattered to various places on the Star Leap.
It is like a huge net that wraps the entire passenger ship.
No wonder he can feel that the whole ship is full of mystic energy as soon as he gets on board.
According to the entanglement of the silk threads, he can vaguely distinguish the nodes of the mystic ritual. The prayer ceremony on the fourth deck has very complex silk threads. Even if it is not a core node, it is an important secondary core node.
According to the current progress, he does not need to do anything. He only needs to listen to the prayers of this group of believers on the deck for ten days to easily complete the second job transfer task.
"President Li, are you okay?"
Wu Chang's attention was drawn back by Park Changmin's voice. He turned his head to look at Park Changmin and said:
"Watching them pray, I felt particularly peaceful in my heart. I was absent-minded for a while and looked at them twice more."
Park Changmin breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "If you can accept our prayers, then what I just said will not affect you."
"What did you say?"
Park Changmin repeated: "I said that during this voyage, we will have a grand prayer. According to the Pope's calculations, this year's spiritual energy has reached its peak in nearly a hundred years. Praying may trigger some strange phenomena. I hope it will not disturb you."
Pray?
I'm afraid it's not a sacrifice.
Wu Chang said indifferently: "It won't disturb me, but on the day of prayer, I want to join in and take a close look."
The day when the New Universe Sect activated the occult ceremony must be the time when the occult energy reached its peak.
Participating in it, whether it is to complete the second job transfer task or to wait for an opportunity to destroy their plan, it will be much more convenient.
Park Changmin's face flashed with a little surprise. He didn't expect that after only watching the believers pray once, Li Zaishe, who always looked down on them, became addicted to watching the prayers. It seemed that he could directly join the religion if he came twice more.
So our religion is so attractive.
If I had known it would be so easy, I wouldn't have to make so many arrangements for Xingtian Group before.
"Of course, as long as you are willing, the New Universe Sect will open its doors to you at any time."
After the two made an agreement, Wu Chang stayed in the lounge for more than an hour until the believers on the fourth deck were tired of praying and entered the restaurant to start eating. He left reluctantly.
In less than two hours, his eyes and ears had been completely contaminated by mysticism.
Unfortunately, he discovered it too late. If he had known that even if he didn't start the ceremony, he could have this effect. He would have shaken all the brothers of the Xingcai Gang over, blocked the Xingyue in the port, and forced Park Changmin and others to pray for ten days and ten nights.
When Wu Chang returned to the suite from Park Changmin, he saw that Jianxing and the negotiation master had returned.
Judging from what the two meant, they should not have found any valuable clues.
Since there were no clues, he would help the two and give them something to do.
The chaebols didn't keep idle people, so they couldn't just get in as bodyguards and do nothing.
He called the two to the office in the suite, took out a photo of the New Universe Sect's logo, tapped the photo with his fingertips, and asked the two:
"Have you heard of the New Universe Sect?"
The moment Jianxing and the Negotiation Master saw the photo, their eyes were straight. As members of the Administration, especially Jianxing, they were very familiar with this logo.
They spent an afternoon in the bar on the third floor and didn't get any serious news. As soon as they came back, they saw Wu Chang sending such a big gift.
Jianxing replied: "I've heard of it."
Wu Chang said lightly: "What's your impression of them? I need to hear the truth."
In the eyes of Jianxing and the Negotiation Master, two senior players, when Wu Chang asked this question, a yellow exclamation mark almost appeared on his head.
Isn't this a real NPC issuing a task?
The two looked at each other, and the master of negotiation, who was better at lying, answered the question.
"We can't draw a specific conclusion about the good or bad of this organization, but as far as we know, wherever this organization goes, disaster and chaos will follow, without exception."
Wu Chang crossed his fingers, leaned back in the boss chair, and said in a noncommittal tone:
"On the fourth floor of the Star Leap, a large number of believers of the New Universe Sect are doing team building. The content of the team building seems to be some kind of ritual. You go to investigate."
Hearing Wu Chang's words, Jian Xing and the master of negotiation flashed with excitement.
The task is really issued!
"Understood, boss!"
The two shouted the word boss from the bottom of their hearts.
In the Abyss game, they can meet a plane native who is powerful, can provide convenience, and can provide clues to complete the main line. Let alone the boss, even if he is worshipped as a godfather, the two of them will not hesitate.
Watching the two people walk out of the office full of energy, Wu Chang stretched hard.
The Silent Route is a confrontation instance, which means there are more than one faction in the instance. He needs to coordinate the overall situation and has no time to keep an eye on Park Changmin.
As a boss, such small matters must be handed over to subordinates.
At 8:30 in the evening, the waiter brought an invitation to Wu Chang to the banquet hall on the seventh floor for a banquet.
The banquet on the seventh floor is different from the performances held in the halls on the third and fourth floors. Only VIPs living on the sixth and seventh floors are eligible to attend.
For other players, this is an invisible threshold. If they don't use some tricks, they can't get in here at all.
If it was Li Zaishi, he would definitely say, what level are they, worthy of attending the same banquet with me?
But now it is Wu Chang in the body, and of course he will not miss this opportunity to collect intelligence.
Sure enough, as soon as he entered the banquet hall, he instantly became the focus of everyone present.
The upper class people threw away their reserve at this moment, surrounded him, and racked their brains to leave a good impression in front of the successor of Xingtian Group.
The chaotic scene made Wu Chang have no time to find someone to communicate alone and collect intelligence.
But chaos itself can provide some intelligence.
When everyone approached him, those who avoided him in the opposite direction or stood still were particularly eye-catching.
They either had something to hide or had a grudge against Li Zaishi.
Wu Chang pointed at them and found that there were six people in total. He asked his secretary to write down these six people and sort out their information. When Jian Xing and the others came back, he would give them to them and let them investigate together.
It was just right to investigate these guys during the day and the New Universe Sect at night. It would be a pity not to make full use of the two excellent cattle and horses.
If they were to be exploited so hard, the two cattle and horses would not only not blame him, but would also thank him.
Just after writing down the few unsociable people in the small notebook, the door of the banquet hall opened and a woman in a professional suit with a camera hanging on her chest walked in.
As soon as the woman came in, the atmosphere in the venue cooled down instantly. The crowd around Wu Chang was desperately stuffing business cards into the secretary's hands, while reluctantly leaving Wu Chang's side.
Wearing a formal dress is the most basic etiquette for attending a banquet. According to common sense, reporters in a professional suit will never be allowed in.
But the woman in front of him is an exception.
Li Yubin is the illegitimate daughter of the president of the Sanshang Group, the first consortium in Gaomu Country. Although she is an illegitimate daughter, her identity is publicly recognized by the president of the Sanshang Group. She is quite favored and her status is not much inferior to that of Li Zaishe.
The reason why she is regarded as a plague god by everyone is that she grew up in the slums in her childhood. Her childhood experience made her hate evil and hate evil. After becoming a reporter, she was determined to report all the ugliness and injustice.
During the three years as a reporter, more than two digits of companies were punished because of her exposure, and she was praised as a civilian princess by the people.
If it were other young reporters, they would either be sunk to the sea or locked up and degenerated into playthings.
But Li Yubin has the Sanshang Group as a backer, and no one can touch her. Her so-called exposure of the dark side is actually within the control of the president of the Sanshang Group.
Like a large-scale house-playing, the small and medium-sized families exposed by Li Yubin are like toys that have been selected, just waiting for her to get tired of playing and recognize the reality so that she can go home and inherit billions of wealth.
The class of the people present at the banquet did not escape the category of toys, so they avoided Li Yubin.
Others were afraid of Li Yubin, but Wu Chang was not afraid. Instead, he looked at Li Yubin and the two people behind her unscrupulously.
If he was not mistaken, the two people behind Li Yubin were players of the Abyss Game.
It seems that Jianxing and the Negotiation Master are not the only smart little ghosts who can cling to thighs.
Some players gathered around her. Could it be that she is one of the forces in the dungeon?
Due to the arrival of Li Yubin, the banquet became boring. Facing the huge lens on Li Yubin's chest, everyone was cautious in every word they said.
The few people who were previously recorded in Wu Chang's little notebook really became more unnatural, and three of them left early.
The three people were circled by Wu Chang and regarded as key observation targets.
After dinner, the banquet ended hastily, and Wu Chang left with his brothers.
When passing by Li Yubin, he heard Li Yubin whisper: "Be careful, I am watching your evil deeds, and sooner or later I will bring you to justice."
Wu Chang shrugged, "Isn't it a bit short to watch only at the banquet? Do you want to come to my room and I will let you watch hard?"
Li Yubin snorted coldly, "Scum."
Back in the room, Wu Chang set up the inner world in the bedroom, put on the arcane trial emblem, and began to complete the second job transfer task.
One night passed, and the next morning, Wu Chang opened his eyes and found it dark outside.
There was a thick fog on the sea.
The thick fog covered the entire sea, making it difficult to distinguish between day and night on the ship.
At this moment, there was a knock on the bedroom door, and the secretary's voice came from outside.
"Boss, we seem to be in trouble. The Star Leap has deviated."
