Chapter 2 Character Book
"Which one?" Liu Lan walked over, looked in the direction Jiang Qi pointed, and accurately targeted "Mask Club".
"This is the exclusive I just mentioned." Liu Lan took the book off the shelf. Put it in front of Jiang Qi.
Jiang Qi picked up the box, opened it, and counted it. There were six character books, a host manual and two stacks of clue cards.
Jiang Qi flipped through the top two pages of the character book. The paper was of good quality and felt good, with a unique ink smell unique to new books. The cover is just a bit ugly. There is a silhouette of a man on the almost pure black cover. Next to the silhouette are nine large Chinese characters - a taciturn black-haired man.
Jiang Qi then flipped through the pages. The covers of each book were similar, with vague silhouettes, front and side. The host booklet showed silhouettes of six people together, each wearing a mask, like a group photo. .
"This is an emotional book." Liu Lan said.
"Emotional book?" Jiang Qi picked up the box and read it again. The dark cover didn't look like a love book. "Why did my sister buy the emotional book? She complained to me about the emotional book last night. It’s just a licking dog meeting, saying that I will kill you if I don’t buy an emotional book.”
As a result, an exclusive emotional book was now placed in front of him.
Oh, dear sister.
"Sister Bing said this book cost no money, and said it was for some kind of promotional trial. I don't know exactly what happened." Liu Lan pointed to the release column on the box and said, "It should be an exclusive release from a new release studio. Ben, I couldn’t even find this studio online.”
"But the quality of the book is not bad. Jiang Qi, if you are free now, you can take a look at it first. Then I will need your help in performing it."
"Thanks to you, the interpretation of this book must include a male. It would be boring if the interpretation was removed."
Jiang Qi looked where Liu Lan pointed. The name of the publisher and the author were crowded in the corner, and the words were small as if they were afraid of being seen.
Produced by Card Game Studio.
By Mr.
The name doesn't look like a serious studio.
Jiang Qi has no interest in reading the book. The system has not prompted him to activate the store. According to his many years of experience, the way to activate the store is to walk around the store.
I haven’t gone to the second floor yet.
"Are there all open-book rooms upstairs?" Jiang Qi asked.
Liu Lan nodded: "Yes, there are five open rooms, and the toilet is also upstairs. I will take you up."
"No need." Jiang Qi stopped Liu Lan, "I can just go and see for myself."
After saying that, Jiang Qi went upstairs.
After Jiang Qi went upstairs, he found that the area on the second floor was much larger than the first floor. Visual inspection showed that the upper and lower floors together may be nearly 400 square meters. There are seven rooms on the second floor, one Japanese-style room, one European-style room, two modern rooms, one antique-style room, a utility room and a changing room.
After Jiang Qi looked at all the toilets in the corner, the script-killing shop in the system panel changed to open.
There is no other new stuff.
When Jiang Qi returned to the first floor, Liu Lan was sitting at the front desk talking to a friend. It sounded like they were talking about the dragon and lion dance exam, which made Jiang Qi look confused.
Liu Lan was talking enthusiastically, so Jiang Qi didn't want to disturb her, so he simply took the box and sat on the sofa to read.
Jiang Qi picked up the first copy and looked at the silhouette on the cover carefully.
A taciturn dark-haired man.
Jiang Qi turned to the first page.
‘Your name is John, you are from country Y.
You have lived in a deformed family since you were a child, with a crazy mother, an eccentric father, and brothers and sisters who are much older than you. This kind of family has shaped your taciturn character like you are now.
Almost every morning when you were a child, what woke you up was not the alarm clock next to your bed, but your mother's piercing screams and bursting tears. ’
In a daze, Jiang Qi seemed to hear a sharp female voice.
“Fuck off! You son of bitch get out of my house, I don’t wanna fucking see you again!”
The high-pitched roar, the rude slamming of the door, and the low cry made Jiang Qi suddenly look up in shock and found that there was no one around him. The store door was closed as before, and Liu Lan was staring at his phone without speaking.
"Lanlan, did you hear anything?" Jiang Qi asked loudly.
"Voice?" Liu Lan was a little confused, "No, did I just make a voice that disturbed you? I'm sorry."
No sound?
Jiang Qi looked down at Ben again. Could it be that he was too absorbed in reading Ben?
Not that much.
Jiang Qi scratched his head and then looked down.
The content of the entire book is very simple. In a few thousand words, it tells the first half of John, the unlucky man.
This guy's biological mother seems to be mentally disturbed. She is a crazy beauty in the physical sense. She drinks and goes crazy all day long. She lives on government relief funds and alimony from her divorced husband.
My biological father, Old John, was not very normal. He graduated from a prestigious school but did not work. In order to live in a cleaning house in a wealthy neighborhood, he had to accept a job as a street sweeper arranged by the government. The place where I live is as messy as a garbage dump, and I don't care if cockroaches are infested. Apart from working every day, I just stay at home and read.
Abnormal parents gave birth to two outstanding children. John and his eldest sister are both positive examples of hard work and self-improvement. John's eldest sister Sunny is a policewoman. John was admitted to a prestigious school to study biology with his clever mind under the conditions of completely free-range and barbaric growth.
John, who had been unsupervised and wild for four years in college, still graduated successfully. After graduation, he worked in a large company and was sent to other countries. Soon he had a fair and rich girlfriend, Mina. The relationship went smoothly and he was about to get engaged, and he reached the pinnacle of his life.
Then John's life began to go downhill.
First, his father died suddenly, and then he was inexplicably slandered as a commercial spy. All kinds of irrefutable evidence appeared from nowhere pointing to him, and he was eventually imprisoned.
While John was in jail, his rich and beautiful girlfriend Mina never left him, even severing ties with her family. She sold the luxury goods she had purchased and hired a private detective and a lawyer to help John solve the case. After being released from prison, John had trouble finding a job, so he decided to start his own business and make a comeback.
With the blessing of the protagonist's halo, John's business is booming day by day, and it soon becomes bigger and stronger.
Then he was unlucky again.
There was a fire in the factory, a sudden food quality problem with the new drink developed by the company led to the poisoning of many children, and the story of his previous imprisonment was revealed and made a big deal. Under the multiple blows, John collapsed.
He started drinking heavily and soon became an addict. Under such circumstances, Mina actually persisted in leaving him. John, who knew he had no future, felt that he was not worthy of Mina, so he began to speak harshly to Mina, and finally drove Mina away.
After Mina disappeared, the goddess of luck finally began to favor this unlucky guy. With the help of a lawyer, John reached a settlement with the injured employees and the parents of the children. After the company was sold, the money was enough to pay compensation. He also began to detoxify with the help of his sister.
Everything is going in the right direction, except Mina can't be found.
Mina just disappeared from the world, and John searched for her to no avail. Just when he was desperate, he suddenly received a mysterious invitation letter, along with a mask.
A club called Mask Club invited him to a mask dinner and said that the club would fulfill a wish of the guests, and the guests would only need to pay a small price for it.
John chose to go to the date in order to find Mina, and found that there were six other people attending the dinner besides himself. There is a storytelling session before the dinner. The owner of the club likes to hear the guests tell their own stories. The more exciting the story, the greater the chance of your wish coming true.
After watching the first scene, Jiang Qi looked up blankly.
What a ridiculous and bloody plot this is.
The last section of the first act is the mission.
Your tasks:
1. Finding Mina is your first priority. If this club can really fulfill your wish, you have to please the club owner no matter what. Since this boss likes to hear stories, you might as well tell them to him generously. The more exciting the better, but not too long. No one likes to listen to long nonsense.
2. Ask about the origin of the club. It is impossible for such a mysterious club to be unknown.
3. Conceal the fact that you have been in prison. No one will have a favorable impression of the criminal.
