Chapter 1426: 1426
Chapter 1426 In Modern Day 24
Even though I’m separated from them at a distance, with all the weirdly dressed people in the way, I still see the naked man bound in dark red ropes . As for whether he’s wearing something over the lower half of his body, or what he’s wearing, I can’t see it because of the table, chairs, and other things that are in the way .
In short, the impression that guy gives me is:
A pervert!
And he might even be into Su0026M .
Of course, it’s unclear whether he’s a real pervert or just cosplaying .
“Alright, you can go in now,” the security guard says casually .
“Huh?” I doubt my ears .
I had lied about being here for Vice President Wu in my rush to give an excuse . I didn’t expect to get permission at all . My original plan was to sneak in while the security guard went to inquire at the front desk, and catch that “mushroom man . ” However, the large-scale cosplay scene inside gave me a shock, causing me to temporarily fall into a dazed state of questioning myself: “Who am I,” “Where am I from,” and “What am I doing?” I didn’t have the chance to take advantage of this opening .
“Vice President Wu has given you permission to enter . Why? Do you not understand what I’m saying?” The security guard senses my confusion .
I’m even more surprised .
“V-Vice President Wu personally said to allow me entry?”
This…
Is he trying to pull me into his marketing team?
The security officer glances at me .
“You aren’t very familiar with Vice President Wu?”
“I’ve only met him a few times,” I quickly emphasize .
The security guard turns to look at the company’s interior . Seeing that Vice President Wu wasn’t nearby, he says, “Vice President Wu doesn’t like to talk . He doesn’t answer questions or give instructions .

“Later, we figured out the rules . Whatever he doesn’t object to on the spot is him giving tacit approval for . ”
Is that so… But it could also be because of other reasons . I once knew a friend who wasn’t smart and had a slow reaction . He only understood the first joke when someone was beginning the second joke . Perhaps Vice President Wu is such a person . He doesn’t answer the question because he’s still digesting the information . He needs more than ten minutes to think about the answer… I don’t argue with the security guard and just mutter inwardly .
Since I have an opportunity like this, I obviously wouldn’t care if Vice President Wu really acquiesced or if the Creator had given him looks but forgot to give him intelligence . I immediately walk past the security guard and enter the neighboring company .
I carefully circle the edge of the room which is in a noisy din with all kinds of crazy dancing happening, searching for the mushroom man I created by mistake .
Skull decorations… Blood-colored juice… painting made of leather… This… Not only is the perverted boss next door a multi-level marketing person, but he also believes in some strange cult? As I scan my surroundings, my heart beats faster as my urge to escape increases .
If I wasn’t already an Assassin and was able to do a Leap of Faith and be in possession of extraordinary powers, I definitely wouldn’t have dared to stay any longer .
As I walk, I see a long table filled with breakfast .
At this moment, a man in a long black robe with a hood suddenly turns his head and looks at me .
“Who are you?” he asks hesitantly .
I reply without any scruples, “I’m cosplaying an employee!”
Just because all of you are cosplaying cultists or all kinds of strange figures, does that forbid me from doing a serious role?

“Employee…” The man repeats my words in confusion .
He doesn’t seem to have a high IQ… That’s true . If I’m doing a MLM business, I’ll definitely like this kind of member more . They’re easy to deceive! I take this opportunity to walk past the black-robed man and to the long table .
As I sweep my gaze, joy suddenly surges in my heart .
I see that “mushroom man”!
It’s lying in a pile of roasted mushrooms, wrapping itself with a layer of sauce, pretending to be ordinary, normal food .
However, its seductive aura betrays it .
Even though there’s a lot of food on the long table, it still stands out .
It doesn’t seem to have a high IQ as well… I pretend not to notice as I slowly approach .
Then, I extend my hand toward the mushroom man .
At this moment, a fork stabs the “mushroom man” and lifts it up before I can get to it .
The “mushroom man” attempts to struggle, but to no avail . It’s stuffed into the mouth of a “beautiful-looking” man with a fork and is chewed .
Poor thing . As it had no mouth, it was eaten by the other party before it could even scream .
Me: “…”
“What? What’s wrong?” the man with the androgynous looks asks in a muffled voice while eating the mushroom .
“Are you alright?” I ask hesitantly .
Gulp… The beautiful man swallows the last mouthful of mushroom .
“I’m good . ”
“Really? You’re fine?” I ask subconsciously .
I have a nagging feeling that a strange creature like the “mushroom man” wouldn’t die so easily .
“I’m fine . ” The beautiful man shakes his head . “You are?”
“I’m with Vice President Wu . How may I address you?” I carefully observe the other party’s condition .
The beautiful man’s expression sinks .
“I’m Mr . A . ”
I stare at him for a few seconds before smiling .
“I’m heading to Vice President Wu’s side . ”
Without any hesitation, I maintain my smile and quickly leave the long table and walk out the door .
After leaving the neighboring company, I turn to the stairwell and hold in my expressions . I take out my phone .
“Hello, is this the police? I found the site of a large-scale pyramid scheme!”
