Chapter 176 Organizations Hiding in the Darkness
A small hotel located in the mountains, the main entrance facing the road is the "main building" and the hot spring bath, passing through the main building, there is a more secluded "annex".

In the corner of the "Main Hall", Gao Yang Chengsan, a leather-covered actor who had just finished soaking in the hot spring, walked out of his room comfortably.

As a stuntman, his job is to wear costumes and holsters and play various "masked heroes" in tokusatsu dramas.Heavy and low-key work, actors sweat in the "puppet costume" day after day, but there is almost no chance to reveal the true face of Lushan in front of the audience and the media.

Gao Yang Chengsan is already 50 years old, and has played the "masked starring role" in the series for nearly 20 years. He is an old-timer in this industry.

The erosion of the years has made his body worse than before, but he still has not retired.After the popularization of the Internet, the number of fans who can recognize him on the street has increased unexpectedly in recent years, which made him feel relieved.

[Gao Yang Chengsan's Listening Test 2/75 Great Success]

Gao Yang Chengsan heard a voice he didn't recognize talking in the corridor.

"...Is it a guest of the 'annex'?" He thought to himself.

I'll check it out in a while.

……

The entrance of the hotel.

Chen Qiang and others blocked the door in a panic.

Probably for the convenience of tourists passing through the "main building" and entering the "annex building". The appearance of the hotel is an old Japanese-style house, but there is no requirement to change shoes at the door.

Compared with the dilapidated front door, the interior of the hotel has obviously been renovated in recent years. The new wooden floors are spotless, and the spider plants add a touch of green to the quaint room, but there is no trace of the waiter anywhere.

"We sent all the waiters away," Qin Yixian introduced to everyone, "only the boss and his wife are left. I told them not to enter the 'annex building' we rented to disturb us, and stay in the 'main building' to take care of us honestly. Another group of guests."

Cecil frowned.Qin Yixian's arrangement prioritized "confidentiality", but it was too secluded.

"The 'main building' close to the highway is safer," said the female bodyguard who no longer had to worry about Qin Yixian deducting her salary. "Considering the possibility of emergency evacuation, living in the 'main building' is a safer choice."

"If there is no waiter, we will have to clean up the meals ourselves." Xiao Yezi seemed to see a lot of work beckoning to herself.

Qin Yixian supported his forehead.He had an illusion that after his employees jumped to the "fortress of reason", their tempers and personalities also moved closer to Chen Qiang's direction.

"Don't think too much," Qin Yixian said, with the gentle light shining on his face, "We're not here to fight. We're just here for a meeting, okay? Don't be so nervous."

Bai Shaobao, who lacked the most tension, took a selfie at the entrance of the hotel.Looking at himself in the photo, he showed a satisfied expression.

"If there's a case," he joked, "the terrain will be an important clue—Conan is like that."

Bai Shaobao looked around - no one could laugh.

"It's safer than Nepal," Cecilu muttered, "I'll check the surrounding maps later. Check the nearest settlements and supply points."

"There are also building plans." Qin Lingxue added.

"Are you serious?!" Bai Shaobao was surprised.

The real world is not like Conan, where "Blizzard Villa" appears every three days.

But considering you're living with an investigator or occultist who's been dancing with mythology for a long time, it's always good to take precautions.

"How many people are there in total?" Chen Qiang asked.

"Your pomp is the biggest," Qin Yixian glanced at Chen Qiang, "Except for me and Erika..."

He pointed to his fiancée.

"This time I will represent the Qin family, and Erika will represent the Green Delta. There is only one representative for 'N Network', 'Golden Dawn', and 'Theosophical Society'. The two representatives of the 'Oath Project' have not yet arrived."

"There are only seven people in total," said Robin Selman, a lawyer representing "Golden Dawn", beside Chen Qiang, "there are not as many people as 'Fortress of Reason'."

"I'm really sorry for mobilizing teachers and mobilizing people." Chen Qiang rolled his eyes.

This time Chen Qiang brought out most of the members of the "Fortress of Sanity", including boss Chen Qiang, secretary Sayoko, accountant Qin Lingxue, bodyguard Cexi Lu, technicians Gu Shiyin and Shi Li (Island), Mr. Beethoven, and Bai Shaobao (except for situations) , a total of eight people.

Chen Qiang hopes to show the sincerity and strength of the "Fortress of Reason" at the same time.

"If you go to the meeting alone," Qin Yixian's girlfriend Erika hummed a ditty, "Yixian would not be the first to agree. This is also for your safety."

"Elixiang, you are exaggerating." Qin Yixian frowned.Of course he hoped that Chen Qiang would be recognized by his peers, but in addition, he also hoped that Chen Qiang could feel more pressure from this meeting.

The attributes of the "Fortress of Sanity" entertainment company are still too strong, Qin Yixian thought troubledly.When sitting in a meeting with Mr. Chen, it is easy for people to have the illusion that they are not discussing the terrifying myths in the dark corners of the earth, but ordinary bragging.

Erika showed a serious expression.

"Mr. Chen, this is your big test," Erika said in a "serious" voice, "There are quite a few weird people in our company who hate those who lose their reason in the dark... ..."

She paused for a moment, observing the expression on Chen Qiang's face: "...If they judge you to be unreliable, it's unknown if they will directly ambush and kill you here. Bringing more people can also deter them."

[Chen Qiang succeeded in the psychology test 68/72]

"Really?" Chen Qiang squinted.

"She's joking," Qin Yixian said decisively, "don't be intimidated by her. In the face of indescribable threats, we are still very united. You just need to answer everyone's questions sincerely, that's all."

"Yixian..." Huili punched her fiancé a few times with her fists, "I'm doing this for Xiaoxue and the others too. Xiaoxue, Mr. Chen, tell me, don't you?"

Chen Qiang fell into deep thought.

Although Qin Yixian and Erika didn't take it seriously, in Chen Qiang's view, this meeting was indeed not as safe as it seemed.

Among other things, the SAN value of Robin Selman next to him is only 5 points. This kind of mental state cannot be called "insurance" anyway.

"Can you give me everyone's mobile phone number?" Chen Qiang asked.

It's always good to have a glimpse of everyone's sanity.If you get mixed up with a guy with SAN=0, then you'd better stay away from him...

"As far as I know, not everyone uses mobile phones to communicate. 'N Network' has their own unique way of contacting, while the guests of 'Theosophical Society' shut themselves in the room from the beginning and refused to come out." Qin Yixian shrugged.

"Then give as much as you have."

"I'll ask you later. Erika, please register your numbers with everyone first." Qin Yixian said.

【Qin Yixian.Current sanity: 75]

[Fujiwara Erika.Current sanity: 65]

……

Gao Yang Chengsan listened to the whole process in the corridor on the other side.

"Maybe it's a group of secondary illnesses." He comforted himself in this way.

He posted a message on Twitter and then left silently.
