Chapter 995: 993: The Seats
Yi Chen did not pay much attention to Moonlight, focusing more on the high-rise in front of him,
The endless appearance was only on the surface; the truly terrifying aspect was the invisible surveillance, oppression, and the aura of control.
Just as he was about to step toward the main entrance of this building, the Manager suddenly reached out and grabbed Yi Chen’s shoulder. .
"Today is really rare, the attendance rate is surprisingly high, it seems everyone is quite interested in the new, unknown plague.
In that case, Miss Lene is best not to attend the meeting with you."
Before Yi Chen could respond, Lene voluntarily retreated to the hotel steps behind them.
Yi Chen also did not ask the reason, nodding in affirmation.
The reason he wanted to bring Lene was simply that he saw potential in this Half-Sheep girl, believing she possessed the standard to reach higher levels, using this opportunity to broaden her horizons.
Since there was a potential risk, it was naturally better not to bring her.
"How many have arrived?""All are present except the one imprisoned in the Divine Domain. Currently, the Fourth Disaster is still only an external projection attending rather than the main body."
"Okay."
The two of them walked the last street in front of the High-rise, and the Manager began to elaborate on the matters related to the meeting.
"1. There will be guides before and after the meeting, do not harbor unnecessary curiosity, just move back and forth between the base-level door and the meeting hall, if you arrive at other areas of the building due to personal reasons, what you may encounter is unknown.
2. The conductor of the meeting is also the ruler of the entire City of Evil, possessing a strong desire for control and dominance. As the new representative of the Tenth Disaster, you will definitely attract his special attention, thus you must avoid any excess behaviors or emotional fluctuations during the meeting, conduct all actions as per his thoughts.
3. Interaction behaviors with any attendee may lead to negative impacts, even a glance of eye contact may affect your mental state during the meeting, leading to undesirable conditions, possibly even violations during the meeting and being targeted by the host.
Even looking at me should be minimized, otherwise, your brain will generate unnecessary lethargy, making you drowsy during the meeting.
Most present are malignant, extreme, they gladly find amusement in newcomers like you.
4. This meeting might assign slaughter tasks, do not reject but sign directly, otherwise your existence will cause suspicion drawing extinction."
"Hmm."
After a simple explanation, Yi Chen followed the Manager to the front door of the building.
On the smooth large surface tiles, a circle-like projection could faintly be seen representing the company image, depicting the mathematical Mobius Ring. 𝘳ÂΝΟᛒЁ𝙨
When Yi Chen raised his head again, a formally dressed employee had already come out to greet them.
"Welcome, please follow me! The meeting will start in ten minutes."
Yi Chen looked at the employee before him, his appearance seemed to have a mosaic, making it impossible to see clearly, whether through Breathing Skill or Killing Intent Perception, no information about his appearance could be obtained, as if the person had no concept of a face.
Oddly enough, a glance elsewhere and observing with peripheral vision reveals a fairly clean countenance.
Entering the door,
The employee did not lead the two to the high-floor meeting room via elevator but invited them to take a seat on the sofas in the lobby, even offering a cup of steaming coffee.
Yi Chen stared at the milk-scented coffee in front of him, feeling a bit cautious and did not drink.
The Manager, however, savored the coffee, speaking softly:
"Drinking or not drinking makes no difference, from the moment we set foot into this building, saw the high-rise, even having the Thought of entering, receiving the meeting notice, we’re already on the way to the meeting room."
As the Manager said this, Yi Chen indeed felt a sense of inconsistence on the way.
He still did not drink the coffee, but when his gaze lifted from the coffee to the tabletop, everything changed.
The smooth marble square table in the hall transformed into a black full-metal tabletop, curving to both sides, forming a circular structured meeting table.
Without sensing anything, Yi Chen unexpectedly found himself in the meeting room.
Beside him, the Manager also sat across, signaling slightly to indicate his acquaintance with Yi Chen.
Simultaneously, Yi Chen felt a hostile gaze, from the Eighth Disaster not far from him.
The person was still in the red tracksuit ’mother’ figure, bulging eyes with a row of eerie white teeth staring at Yi Chen, seemingly surprised at his attendance representing the Tenth Disaster.
Despite the remaining ten minutes, there were still quite a few who hadn’t arrived.
Seats were arranged counter-clockwise by respective numbers,
Meaning Yi Chen as the Tenth Disaster was seated next to the unknown Ninth Disaster and the meeting host, the ruler of Malice, the First Disaster.
Currently, neither had arrived.
Additionally noteworthy is each seat’s design corresponds with the disaster trait.
For instance, Yi Chen’s seat appeared as though built from countless corpses, with the backrest filled with various killing tools like the Bone Cutting Knife, Curved Hook, Short Handle Axe, Electric Saw, etc.
Just the chair itself exuded a strong Killing Intent.
Curiosity drove Yi Chen to observe, collecting data intelligence on the disasters beforehand.
He did not view using his naked eye, but employed the Breathing Skill to perceive more detailed contours.
The adjacent First Disaster chair retained the high-rise’s design style, purely geometric black chair with the Mobius Ring Yi Chen had seen at the front door imprinted on the backrest.
Second Disaster, also referred to as the ’Unknown’ imprisoned at the lowest level of the seventh Heaven, Yi Chen still did not know the name.
This chair was a modern leather seat, at first glance appearing high-end, but careful observation reveals the entire style seemingly relates to ’human’.
Always able to see human-like areas from certain contours and folds, it seemed constructed from a body, precisely one person, not too much or too little.
Third Disaster is the Manager.
The chair gives a hotel building vibe, steel-reinforced concrete, red bricks constitute the seat base and backrest structured like the front door.
Fourth Disaster, an utterly bloodless photographer has arrived on site as a substitution for the main body.
The chair was pieced together using cameras of varying eras and styles, with each lens able to move autonomously, once noticed, these lenses would focus on the person.
Fifth Disaster,
The chair was a refined seat from the late 19th-century Victorian era barbershop, showcasing intricate steam mechanical craft, appearing to serve other functions during Body Position adjustment besides hairstyling.
A handsome black-and-white curled-haired man sat upright on it, utilizing the waiting time to organize the barber set.
Yi Chen suddenly recalled his first visit to the City of Evil, encountering a barbershop by chance with Liu Xinzhi.
Sixth Disaster,
Yi Chen’s aura just moved from the barber, sensing a rancid stench from the tip of his nose, differing from Pathology World decay, transcending biological limits.
Even Yi Chen, accustomed to dealing with corpses and befriending rats since childhood, couldn’t help but feel disgusted.
Expecting the Sixth Disaster to be exceedingly decadent, the aura outlined an Asian-featured noblewoman, appearing barely over thirty, echoing Fu Jiang’s allure.
Oddly, the person emitted an extreme stench.
The chair was composed of umbilical cord and rotten flesh, with the backrest depicting an infant in the Fertility State.
"No wonder the Manager didn’t let Lene come, it really causes trouble."
The Sixth Disaster noticed the newly arrived youth, seeming to have sensed the newborn aura remaining on him, casting a seductive glance, even taking off half her clothing.
After performing these actions, the previously putrid scent Yi Chen sensed instantly replaced by an enticing fragrance.
Yi Chen could only pretend not to see, continuing to sense the disaster chairs’ details using aura.
Seventh Disaster,
The main body hadn’t arrived on site,
The chair style had some resemblance to Yi Chen’s, except lacking corpse piles, consisting of murder tools and modern firearms assembled on it.
All murder implements encircled a gray eye at the chair backrest’s center.
Eighth Disaster,
The chair formed from countless small human bodies combined, even under the chair was a woman sitting upside down, identical to the one sitting above, both staring at Yi Chen.
Ninth Disaster,
A biological chair leaking green mucus incessantly, decayed beyond repair, with the backrest enwrapped by outdated intestines circling a shriveled brain at the center.
Regarding the owner of this chair, Yi Chen had basically guessed.
