The members of the Dream Club present are all very aware of the strength of the Deep Divers and the gap between themselves and the Deep Divers, so now Liu Xing has heard that some members of the Dream Club are planning to run away and leave London.
.
"Quiet!" Robert shouted.
Because Robert has a very high prestige in the Dream Club, the members of the Dream Club are all silent.
Robert sighed and said seriously: "I know that you are all very worried and scared now, because we all know the strength of those deep divers, so if those fanatical believers who believe in Cthulhu really rush to
If we come, I'm afraid we won't be able to compete with them, even if I can prepare a gun and a set of body armor for each of you before those guys attack us, so my current idea is very simple
, that is to seek cooperation with other secret churches and use their power to deal with those damn guys."
Liu Xing raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that Robert, an old man, would not forget to put gold on his face even at this age.
For those members of the Dream Club who don’t know the truth, after hearing Robert’s words, they may subconsciously think that cooperation with other secret churches was Robert’s idea, so if the Dream Club can survive this disaster
If so, then Robert's reputation in the Dream Club can be raised to a higher level.
At this time, Dior, who was sitting next to Liu Xing, whispered: "Robert is such a person. He will always try to get some benefits for himself at any time. The reason why the dream club was established back then was because Robert was afraid of himself.
He would die in his dream, so he recruited other people to form the Dream Club to protect himself. And I heard that a few years ago, there was a person who wanted to compete with Robert for the position of president of the Dream Club. As a result, that person died in a dream.
After the party at the Zhonghui, I was attacked by a robber on my way home, and of course I was shot several times and died."
Liu Xing nodded, looking at Robert with a hint of contempt in his eyes, because Robert was not only afraid of death, but also took the rights in his hands very seriously.
But having said that, Liu Xing feels that such Robert is quite good for him. After all, talents with weaknesses are more likely to be exploited by him.
Therefore, Liu Xing has now thought of how to persuade Robert to cooperate with Miss Wang.
At this time, Robert continued: "I know that everyone here may be a little surprised, because our Dream Church has been established for so many years, but we have never interacted with other secret churches. After all, we have witnessed the cruel methods of those deep divers.
After that, we knew very well that other secret churches could not sincerely cooperate with us, they would only deliberately find ways to take advantage of us, so we have always kept a distance from those secret churches."
"But the situation is different now, because now we must unite with those secret churches to ensure that we will not be destroyed by those fanatical believers who believe in Cthulhu in our dreams, so I plan to speak tonight
Let’s talk about cooperation with a certain secret church. That secret church is relatively peaceful, so although we need to pay a certain price, it shouldn’t be too taxing and we won’t lose the reputation we dreamed of.
Okay, now everyone is ready to vote."
As soon as Robert finished speaking, a man in black wearing a dinosaur mask came out pushing a cart. The cart was filled with red and white balls.
"This is a rule set by the Dream Society in the early days of the establishment of the city. After all, the Dream Society is an organization with a relatively loose internal structure. When everyone comes to the Dream Society, they are all cattle and sheep to be slaughtered by the deep divers, so there is a lot of confusion among the members of the organization.
are relatively equal, and leadership positions such as president do not have many privileges. Therefore, when making some important decisions, voting like this will be held. After a while, everyone will get a red ball and
A white ball, and then go to the closed voting room next to you to vote." Dior introduced to Liu Xing.
Liu Xing nodded and said with a smile: "It seems that our Dream Association is quite democratic, but since the leadership of the Dream Association does not have any privileges, why is Robert still so obsessed with the position of president of the Dream Association?
?”
Dio smiled coldly and said, "Chris, you are indeed still too young. The so-called democracy spoken by Robert's leaders is just talk, because although they have not set up privileges for themselves on the surface, in fact
They have secretly placed themselves in a position of superiority over others, so Chris, you can guess what methods Robert and the others use to benefit themselves."
Liu Xing frowned and immediately replied: "Is it a mask?"
Dio nodded and said seriously: "Yes, it is a mask. Although Robert and the others are nominally to ensure the privacy of each member of the Dream Club and to ensure that it will not affect their lives in the real world, because
The masks worn by everyone at each gathering were randomly selected, which resulted in ordinary members not knowing who the people around them were. Therefore, except for some familiar members, most ordinary members stayed in the dream meeting for several days.
Years ago, I didn’t know a few friends in the Dream Club, let alone know what other ordinary members do outside, while leaders like Robert have detailed information about all Dream Club members.”
"Therefore, there is an information asymmetry between the leadership represented by Robert and us ordinary members. Therefore, under normal circumstances, no one can shake Robert's position. Over the years, except for the death of some members of the leadership for various reasons,
, there has never been a normal change of positions, and the consequences of this are obvious. Robert and the others have completely mastered the right to speak in the Dream Club. The operations of the Dream Club are usually under the control of Robert and the others. The most important thing is
It’s a so-called voting like this. In fact, the result has already been decided, and now it’s just a formality.”
"Dior, you mean that many of the ordinary members present are from Robert's group?" Liu Xing said with a frown.
Dio nodded and said with a smile: "Chris, you are really smart, you figured out Robert's little trick so quickly, because most of the major decisions that need to be voted on in dreams are made suddenly, so in general,
Under the circumstances, there are not many ordinary members who can come here to attend the party. After all, everyone has their own things to do outside. Therefore, among the more than one hundred people present here, there are actually only sixty or seventy ordinary members of the Dream Club.
And the remaining thirty-odd people are all Robert’s men.”
Liu Xing sighed and said somewhat depressedly: "So, because we ordinary members don't know who the other people around us are, Robert and the others can join the Absolute Association in a certain proportion based on the number of ordinary members attending today's party.
By voting to support their people, you can basically guarantee that the proposals they propose will be passed."
"In addition, in the dream we have found a relatively safe hiding place as our stronghold, so under normal circumstances, except for Robert and the others, most of the ordinary members are assigned to the surrounding areas for surveillance, and even in more
Activities are carried out in the outer areas, such as determining the location and action routes of the deep divers, and contacting other ordinary members who are living outside. Therefore, the number of Robert and the others in the stronghold must exceed the ordinary members, so Robert and the others can still use so-called democratic voting.
Come to instruct ordinary members to do things, and the reason why I was caught by those deep divers in the dream was because I offended Donald, the vice president of the dream club, so I was sent to a location area to inquire about the situation inside." Dio said.
He said with a helpless face.
Hearing what Dior said, Liu Xing couldn't help but look at Dior in surprise. He didn't expect that Dior would be caught by the deep divers for this reason.
Because the results of the voting had already been determined, Liu Xing casually threw the red ball representing his agreement into the ballot box after entering the voting room, while the white ball representing his disapproval was placed in a discard box aside.
When everyone finished voting, the man wearing the dinosaur mask pushed the ballot box out on a trolley, and then Robert counted the votes publicly.
The final result - eighty-eight red balls versus thirty-six white balls.
Ever since, the Dream Society approved Robert's proposal and prepared to cooperate with other secret churches.
Because this is also a good thing for Liu Xing, Liu Xing has no idea about it, but Liu Xing is thinking about whether to inform Miss Wang and let her go to discuss cooperation with Robert on behalf of Shenzong.
Because there was only one elevator, the members of the Dream Club sat in various places in the hall to rest and drink tea, and then took the elevator up in twos and threes, although this elevator could theoretically take more than ten people at the same time.
"Because dreams are surrounded by dangers, some people often betray their teammates in dreams. Therefore, many people make enemies in dreams, and then find opportunities to retaliate against each other in the real world. So now everyone is willing to make friends with strangers.
People take the elevator together. After all, you need to take off your mask when leaving the elevator, which will reveal your true face... Of course, many things like this are good shows directed by Robert and the others, because this can make people
Ordinary members are wary of each other, and the possibility of forming gangs is even lower." Dio continued to educate Liu Xing.
Sure enough.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, Liu Xing and Dior walked into the elevator, and the remaining thirty people naturally had no intention of getting in together.
Liu Xing and Dior took off their masks and walked out of the elevator.
After leaving the utility room, Dior suddenly said: "Chris, you probably haven't visited the inside of Big Ben, so why don't you take this opportunity to play around inside Big Ben?"
Liu Xing's eyes lit up, he nodded and said, "Of course."
Although Liu Xing is also worried that Dior may be harmful to him, such as pushing him off the Big Ben, but if he thinks carefully about it, if Dior is going to be harmful to him, he should have done it long ago, so he does not need to worry too much.
.
The most important thing is that Liu Xing really wants to visit the inside of Big Ben. After all, if he misses this opportunity, he may not be able to enter Big Ben again in this module.
Ever since, Dior found the previous staff member and got two work badges, and then he and Liu Xing went upstairs wearing the work badges.
Soon, Liu Xing and Dior arrived at the mechanical room of Big Ben.
When Liu Xing just entered the mechanical room, kp time suddenly appeared and said: "Please pass a judgment with a success rate of 80 here. If you pass the judgment, the player will find an easter egg."
Easter eggs?
Liu Xing was a little surprised.
Liu Xing once heard people mention easter eggs in the Cthulhu Run game lobby. He knew that easter eggs would not help players clear the current module, but these easter eggs are likely to become some of the modules in the Cthulhu area.
Important clues for the group.
Therefore, many players in the Cthulhu area will pay high prices for Easter eggs in the Cthulhu Run game lobby, because they might be able to use this Easter egg that day.
However, the reason why Easter eggs are Easter eggs is because their appearance probability is very low. There are only more than a dozen Easter eggs that have been discovered so far, so Liu Xing really did not expect that one day he would trigger the Easter eggs.
However, with an 80% success rate, Liu Xing felt that he was bound to win this Easter egg.
Liu Xing, 72/80, successful.
so far so good.
Liu Xing breathed a sigh of relief and almost milked himself to death.
The moment the judgment result came out, Liu Xing suddenly noticed several wine bottles in the corner of the mechanical room.
Dior also noticed this and said with a smile: "Because Big Ben was built more than a hundred years ago, Big Ben needs to be manually wound every once in a while, so there are often staff coming up.
I'm in charge of this, so some of the wine-loving staff will take the opportunity to have a drink while winding up."
Liu Xing nodded and said with a smile: "I see, but is it really okay to put the wine bottle here?"
As Liu Xing spoke, he pretended to go over and get those wine bottles.
After walking into the bottles, Liu Xing discovered that there was a small window next to it. It seemed that the staff member was drinking while overlooking the scenery of London.
At this moment, Liu Xing saw a row of small characters engraved on the window frame - the beer is so cold, I am right next to the big clock, so cool.
???
Liu Xing looked at this unclear limerick and couldn't figure out what it meant for a while.
However, Liu Xing did not dwell on it for too long. After all, this easter egg had nothing to do with the current module, so he only needed to remember it and discuss it with Ishikawa Ling and others when he returned to the Cthulhu Run game lobby.
