This is a hall. The entire hall is shrouded in darkness and the specific area cannot be seen. Only a beam of cold light dispels the darkness in the middle area of ​​the hall.

There is a circular glass table placed in the middle of the hall, which is somewhat similar to the circular tables used for dining in hotels.

Next to the glass table are several chairs with armrests made of black wood, six in total.

There is a silver empty plate placed on the glass table in front of each black wooden chair.

There are people sitting on five black wooden chairs. Everyone is dressed differently. Some are wearing a black suit, some are wearing a white coat, some are wearing a chef's uniform stained with oil, and some are wearing strange shapes and special materials.

Some were wearing combat uniforms, and some were wearing armor.

Hmm...it's the typical general armor from Yanyu at the beginning of the last era.

"Time is up."

The man in a black suit sitting on the five chairs glanced at his wrist, and then spoke slowly and in a cold tone.

"There's one minute left, I've been counting." Another man in a white coat corrected, spreading his hands.

The hall fell into silence again.

Snapped......

Snapped......

Suddenly, a regular "pop" sound appeared in the dead silent hall. The sound was very small, but the five people present heard it clearly.

The five people turned their heads at the same time to look at the source of the sound.

There was darkness before their eyes, but the five of them seemed to be able to break through the darkness, staring closely at the direction where the sound came from.

The 'pop' sound became clearer as time went by.

The five people looked much more serious.

The man in the black suit raised his left hand and glanced at his wrist...ten seconds left.

He straightened his slightly skewed collar, then sat upright, quietly waiting for...the sixth person!

In the darkness, the outline of a figure emerged, and the outline gradually became clearer. What appeared in front of the five people was a boy holding a black umbrella and wearing a well-fitting purple tuxedo.

With a smile on the boy's face, he walked to the empty sixth black wooden chair and stopped.

During this process, there was always only the sound of 'pop' echoing in the hall.

The moment the five people sitting in the hall saw the boy, their breathing rhythms changed slightly.

A strange atmosphere quietly grew in the hall.

"You may be confused."

The boy put away the black umbrella and leaned against the glass table. He pulled out the black wooden chair, looked around, and sat down.

"First of all, let me introduce myself. You can call me 'Sheng'. Oh, by the way, there is one more thing."

After the boy introduced himself, he suddenly remembered something. He touched his breast pocket and took out a pocket watch wrapped in a white handkerchief with gold patterns around it.

"On the way here, I met a sister who sells pocket watches. She had something to do and couldn't come. She asked me to come over and let you know."

As the boy spoke, he placed the pocket watch on the silver plate in front of him. He gently folded the handkerchief and put it into his breast pocket.

He crossed his fingers on his chin and looked around the five people. He still kept a smile on his face and sat elegantly like a noble. He was waiting for the five people present to digest the information he brought.

Although the other party looks like a boy from the outside, everyone is extremely vigilant in a tacit understanding, as if the person sitting on the sixth chair is a boy transformed from a prehistoric beast...

...Except for the man in the white coat.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

"Uh...haha, don't make the atmosphere so tense, haha..."

The man in the white coat saw that the atmosphere was a little tense and wanted to say something to break the tense atmosphere.

But obviously, he failed. His method of enlivening the atmosphere was not as good as his medical skills.

The smile on the boy's face became even brighter, like a sunflower blooming under the first ray of sunshine in the morning.

"So." The boy straightened his collar and held on to the bow on his collar. Then he sat up straight and said seriously: "Left, right, it's time to make a choice."

The boy said this without making any sense, but the five people present knew what the boy meant.

Quiet!

It was deathly quiet in the hall!

Even the sound of breathing seemed to be an ear-piercing sound in this scene!

But soon.

The man in a black suit took off his white top hat. There was no expression on his face. He held the white top hat in his hand and looked at the boy.

"Give me a convincing reason."

"Reason?"

The boy suddenly chuckled. He took the pocket watch on the silver plate in front of him and rubbed it gently. A few weak syllables suddenly came out of his mouth.

"The Feast of Death."

The man in a black suit shook his head slightly.

"not enough."

The smile on the boy's face remained unchanged. While he opened the cover of his pocket watch, he focused his attention on the four silent people present.

"Then...what about the ice species?"

As soon as these words were spoken, except for the man in the black suit, everyone else's expressions changed.

The man in the black suit glanced at the four of them expressionlessly, and the four of them immediately reacted. They all looked at their eyes, noses, and hearts, and the expressions on their faces calmed down.

The boy acted as if he had not seen this scene, with the smile still on his face and leisurely playing with the pocket watch in his hand.

The man in the black suit was silent for a moment and shook his head slightly.

"I see no hope,"

"Hope is just an excuse used by the weak to paralyze themselves."

The man in the black suit lowered his head and fell silent again. The boy was not in a hurry and waited patiently for the other party to make a decision.

After leaning a little, the man in the black suit raised his head and took a deep look at the boy, then without saying a word, he placed the white hat in his hand on the silver plate.

This is a statement and a choice.

The smile on the boy's face almost flew out of his face. He looked into the darkness, his blue eyes shining brightly.

"It's really troublesome, but who makes you my most beloved brother? The road has been paved, and it depends on how you go..."
