“This was the third Inspector that Shen MO and Bai Youwei had encountered.
They didn’t know how many Inspectors were part of the game, but so far, each Inspector they had met was extremely unique.
The first one was a rabbit-headed gentleman. It had a snow-white rabbit head and a delicate adolescent-like body, conversing in such a detached and calm tone, as if it was an emotionless robot.
The second one was Jin Qiu. It lacked the humanoid form but possessed the tone and temper of a human child. Merry and crafty, bad-tempered, and mischievous, it liked to hide the rules like some kind of prankster.
The third one was the one right before their eyes.
They could say that, it was the most “human” inspector they had encountered so far.
Its appearance was similar to that of a blond, blue-eyed male model from a magazine, dressed in a complete white suit, with an overwhelmingly striking and handsome face.
However, the shocking thing was that it was incredibly tall! Unusually long! Its long arms and long legs were like a character straight from a comic book!
Such an appearance would naturally look good in a comic book, but to see it in real life, right in front of them, its impact was indescribable, sending chills down their spines!
It walked up the hill, standing close to them, even towering over Shen MO, who was the tallest among them, by several heads!
If Shen MO had a perfect nine-head figure, then this being would have at least a terrifying twelve-head figure.
“Welcome all, I am the Inspector for this game, I hope we can have a pleasant time together.” The Inspector said with a smile. There was silence as nobody spoke a word.
Everyone watched him nervously.
It was impossible for them to have a pleasant time. They could only hope they wouldn’t die too soon.
The Inspector’s gaze calmly swept over everyone’s faces, its tone was casual, “There are a total of 18 players. I wonder who among you will be my friends?” Bai Youwei furrowed her brows slightly.
She remembered that the theme of the game was “Sophia’s Meeting”, and now the inspector said it wanted to be friends with them. Could it be that the Inspector would also be participating in the game?
“Ladies and Gentlemen, do you see the long white table down the hill?” the Inspector asked.
Everyone looked where it pointed.
Unbeknownst to them when, a long table appeared in the field under the hill, covered with a white tablecloth, and there were 18 beautifully crafted glass vases placed on it.
Each vase did not contain any flowers; it was filled with half a bottle of clear water, which was pure and transparent, reflecting the glow of gold.
“The theme for this game is ‘Sophia’s Meeting.”‘ The handsome Inspector told them, “Being a part of the meeting requires bringing a beautiful flower as a token of courtesy. Only those who bring me the most beautiful flower will be considered my beloved friends.”
Shen MO asked, “Where are the flowers?”
The inspector pointed in the distance, “Follow the path down the hill, walk through the forest, and you will come upon a ‘Sea of Flowers’…”
It paused slightly, the smile deepening on its face.
“Four hundred years before the Common Era, the great philosopher Socrates, took his students to an apple orchard, asked each of the students to pick the biggest and best apple. They were allowed to choose only once and they couldn’t turn back on their path. Now, you must do the same. I want you to go into the flower sea, which is home to every variety of flower in the world. Each one of you should bring back a flower, choose only once, and you cannot turn back on your path. In the end, I will select the ten most beautiful flowers from the eighteen and the ones who bring back those flowers will be my friends and will get to partake in Sophia’s meeting.”
Everyone realized the implications.
It turned out that this was just a pre-selection, and the real “Friend’s meeting” had not even started yet.
“What will happen after becoming a friend?” Bai Youwei asked, “What will we need to do at the meeting?
The Inspector turned its sharp, azure eyes towards her, revealing a hint of a smile, “Oh, dear lady, that’s a secret, I can only tell my friends.”
So, only those who qualified as “friends” would get to know what this meeting was really about..
