"The Modern Age of the Mysterious (

"Ocean City, does it really exist?"

Verne's expression restrained a little, and he said seriously: "Although it is a very beautiful and romantic idea, it is very regrettable that the underwater city you see in the promotional film does not actually exist. "

Including Sean, almost everyone showed a surprised expression.

"My good friend, Mr. Tesler, the famous inventor, planned to build a city at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean using the technology of sophisticated alchemy and modern industry.

"Unfortunately, there are too many insurmountable technical difficulties in the project, and in the end Ocean City is only in the envisioning stage."

"But our ideal of building a utopia is burning." Verne said sincerely, "So, on Avalon Island, we have built a city that advocates freedom and freedom, with tax exemptions and financial support, It attracts top talent from all over the world.”

"Although it is not fundamentally different from other cities. However, it is free..."

"Liar!" Victor cursed viciously. Carmen's face was hidden in the red wide-brimmed hat, looking rather disappointed.

"In addition, we have built a small exhibition hall in the city to display the underwater city in our imagination. If you regret not being able to enter the dreamy underwater city, you can go to that small exhibition hall..."

"Shut up!" Aside from the mission, Yueguang really wanted to see what the underwater city looks like, but he didn't expect it to be just a beautiful scam.

What was shown on the black and white TV were just recorded images, and Verne could not hear the cursing of the tourists, but continued to tell: "...But, with your support, the Ocean City plan may really come true one day.

"In addition, if you have any dissatisfaction, our external image officer will do everything possible to meet your request."

"Finally, I wish you a good mood."

"Mr. Dirac." Christopher complimented hypocritically just after the TV screen ended, "You are really very smart...

"The truth is almost exactly the same as your guess!"

"You're also very smart," Sean replied without any emotion, "knows how to get more benefits."

Christopher took Susan's hand and said sternly, "No no no, you misunderstood.

"I didn't drop black shells just because I wanted a reward.

"I'm out of righteous indignation.

"If the Ocean City I believe does not exist, then it does not exist!

"So," Christopher pointed to the position of his heart, "I voted on my conscience."

"Oh, come on." Moonlight smiled contemptuously, "Mr. Conscience, you are about the same color as the shell you cast."

Christopher stared angrily at the moonlight, and the pianist just chuckled and shook his head, ignoring it.

"Then it's time to honor rewards and punishments," said the staff member wearing a golden mask.

"This gentleman and lady," White Glove pointed to Christopher and his fiancée Susan, "has acquired a total of twelve shares of Ocean City Corporation."

Christopher looked at the moonlight with a reassuring smile: "Not much, not much, it's not as good as my weekly income! However, it's better than empty hands!"

The staff continued: "Because this gentleman and lady cast black shells, that is, they don't believe in the existence of Ocean City, so we don't force them to enter the city—

"Sir and Madam, you two don't need to be punished, you can leave the lighthouse first, and there will be staff outside the door who will lead you to the hotel.

"Our hotel is elegant and well-equipped to satisfy you. You can stay in it for free until the return boat arrives."

Christopher didn't care about the angry eyes of the people around him, holding a suitcase in one hand and Susan in the other, and said, "I won't stay here to watch your punishment...

"Also, maybe we live in different places." Christopher and Susan walked out, he continued, "I have to negotiate with people from their company, don't want me to speak well for them on this stock. of…"

The stockbroker and his fiancée walked out of the gate, which closed again.

Everyone turned around with a gloomy look, looking at the staff member with a strange temperament.

"Not only deceived us, but also punishment?" Aunt Susan was obviously angry, "I want to see what your punishment is?!"

The staff didn't say a word, the white gloves swiped up, and the black and white TV turned on again.

After changing the previous ease, Verne's expression became: "It seems that you are the lovely tourists who cast white shells and believe in the existence of Ocean City.

"First of all, on behalf of my partner, Mr. Tesler, and myself, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to you—thank you for the trust in our dreams.

"Next..."

Verne's serious expression suddenly became unbearable, he said with a smile: "When I said 'next', do you think that you are the one who chose the correct option, and cast the People with black shells have never had the chance to see the real Ocean City in this life?

"Do you think this is like a fable with a golden axe and a silver axe. Whoever chooses to believe with a pure heart will get greater rewards?"

Verne smiled happily, and the white light fell on the faces of Sean and his party - they were all expressionless.

"Oh, what a lovely idea!"

Verne's smile faded, and his voice became a little cold: "We did this at the beginning, giving better rewards to believers.

"However, according to the behavior of travelers who have come to Avalon Island, we have found a pattern.

"Comparatively speaking, pragmatic people who cast black shells are more likely to cooperate at a reasonable price. They will be tight-lipped for their own benefit."

"Those who firmly believe in the existence of dreams are the hardest to persuade and the hardest to deal with...

“No matter what compensation we give, they are still angry. They are not willing to tell white lies despite the damage to the value of the stock.

"The doubts that are clamoring in the outside world now are almost all spread by those believers who have left."

"Believe in dreamers, but choose not to nourish dreams and shatter the possibility of dreams!

"How ridiculous!"

Verne's face showed a ferocious look for a moment, but it was well controlled.

After sorting out his emotions, he continued to say: "So, we designed a second set of plans."

Behind the golden mask staff, the double-opening iron door that had been closed slowly opened.

Before seeing the scene behind the iron gate, Sean and the others smelled a pungent smell, a unique smell of disinfectant in the hospital.

After the iron door was fully opened, people could see the layout inside.

There are three craniotomy operating tables, and next to each operating table are four medical staff in white surgical gowns, and the chief surgeon holds a craniotomy chainsaw.

Although the operating room looks bright and clean, the smell of disinfectant is mixed with a creepy fishy smell.

The golden mask staff retreated into the operating room, and several giants in heavy diving armor walked out of the iron gate...

Verne's voice sounded: "The second plan is that we can change your brain and create an Ocean City in your brain that you believe in..."
