Chapter 25. The Imitation Game
Los Angeles, St. George District.

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, the venomous sunlight was covered by clouds, revealing some suitable streamers.

The pedestrian street without vehicles is paved with red and beige masonry.

The shop buildings on both sides have a baroque architectural style imitating the middle ages. The exquisite plaster reliefs and flying ribs are not exaggerated, but in harmony with the style of the entire building complex. The door signs do not use LED light boxes, but are made of traditional wood or metal. production.

The wrought iron street lamps and exquisite sculpture fountains are pleasing to the eye.

Inside a high-end sports brand clothing store.

There are no clothing display racks or price tags, only black doll models wearing clothes to display, and an exaggerated laser screen introducing the brand history and brand culture.

As well as two female shopping guides with stiff facial expressions and a figure comparable to a plane model in professional clothes.

After becoming official agents, Colin and Eugene had many restrictions on their actions. The 20 yuan of action funds must be used to purchase clothing or other legitimate purposes, such as renting high-end cars and yachts, as well as meetings and banquets. Insufficient, you can continue to apply, and it will be processed quickly within 10 minutes.

Ke Lin couldn't help but lament the strategy bureau's handiwork. Perhaps, as Eugene said, the money allocated by Shangfeng could buy a city with an outlet to the sea.

But these money belonged to the countermeasures bureau's account, and it was earmarked for special purposes. Every consumption of the two of them would be recorded. If it was used for unnecessary consumption, such as recruiting prostitutes or buying contraband, they would be punished to a certain extent.

Although Colin does not believe how serious the so-called punishment is, he believes that there is no need to add extra details.

According to the advice provided by the Bureau of Countermeasures, as a film investor, usually the more powerful of the two partners does not need to wear a custom-made suit that is too formal, and only needs some cheap goods that are pocket money for the rich, some sports brands, Just add up to tens of thousands of clothes.

Ke Lin has always sneered at these high-end brands. When buying these products, what he buys is not the clothing itself, but the brand premium. The huge amount of meaningless publicity fees and fancy event planning pay the bill.

Perhaps the biggest meaning is just to show their status, it is a kind of mutual support in the upper circle, Ke Lin suddenly thought of this, perhaps the root cause is to show that they stand on the same front, which is really wonderful.

After changing his clothes, Ke Lin stood in front of the full-length mirror. He was wearing ordinary gray sportswear. The most expensive thing was a sports bracelet that could detect heart rate.

This one will cost 6 yuan.

Although the money from the Strategy Bureau was used, Ke Lin didn't want to pay this kind of IQ tax at all. He felt that as long as he paid, some important persistence would disappear. That was not his style.

Although the white suit at home is quite expensive, it is worth the money, not a so-called trendy brand with empty connotations brainwashed by consumerism.

"Sir, is there something inappropriate?"

The female shopping guide saw Ke Lin standing in front of the mirror for a long time, and because Ke Lin was wearing a low-quality brown woolen coat when he entered the door, she had to be a little suspicious.

And Ke Lin was just thinking about how to deal with this matter. There is no such thing as bargaining in this kind of place, and the sales method of this shopping guide belongs to the so-called follow-up type, which means that he does not take the initiative to introduce products to customers, but just walks two meters away. Follow quietly everywhere, and then answer when customers have questions. There are also some so-called enthusiastic and sincere types.

When he thought that he had to pay for the sales training of these people, Ke Lin made up his mind even more.

The female shopping guide was right to be skeptical.

He drew strength from the different space, and part of the flesh and blood of his left forearm was peeled off, revealing the terrifying white bones and tendons.

"Damn, there's something wrong with your stuff."

Colin rolled up his sleeves and looked, his face was "shocked", and he shouted: "There are bugs, there are bugs eating my flesh."

blah blah blah...

Colin's left arm was bleeding like a column, pouring frantically on the marble floor tiles to form a pool of blood, like a murder scene.

This movement frightened the two female shopping guides, gasping for breath, one of them even screamed,
"I have to go to the hospital quickly..."

Ke Lin threw 500 yuan at the counter. He felt that the whole body was worth the price, and the bracelet might be worth [-] yuan.

After doing this, he left the store while bleeding, and bought the clothes at a price of 120.

……

……

after an hour.

Colin sat on the public bench smoking with a blank expression. In the past, when passers-by saw him, they would only use him as a background board, but now occasionally someone would scan him up and down.

This made Colin a little uncomfortable.

According to the arrangement of the Bureau of Countermeasures, there will be a banquet at 7 o'clock tonight. At that time, many celebrities in Hollywood will be there. The main reason is that some directors will bring scripts and part of the cast to find people to invest. Afterwards, industry tycoons will introduce Colin Eugene and Colin Eugene, who are real estate businessmen from Western Europe and are planning to enter the film industry.

Ke Lin began to think, since SCT will enter Hollywood as a puppet company, it means that there is no need to find so-called sponsors, and SCT is the largest investor.

Then the way of action is not to approach SCT in the name of investors, but to get to know some special effects teams and some stars. What SCT needs is not money, but some good photography teams, directors, and top stars to attract people. Watch their movies.

Perhaps not only that, but Colin couldn't help but think in a worse direction. Changing the symbolic world is not something that can be done overnight.

Even if large-scale panic is created, civilization will not be so fragile that it will collapse in an instant.

The worst situation is that SCT has been thinking of a tug-of-war from the very beginning, slowly infiltrating the entire industry. This situation is the worst. To have the right to speak is to control everything.

He let out a long puff of smoke, and felt that this fact was extremely fucked up, and he was afraid that criminals were educated, and he was not at all imitating the material of high society.

What the fuck is going on every day.

Since there was no trash can next to the bench, there were already a dozen cigarette butts on the ground. Colin had been waiting here for a long time. He had planned to meet here and rent a car to go to the banquet, but Eugene was already late for a long time.

Colin couldn't help calling Eugene.

"Where are you? I've been waiting at the appointed place for almost an hour."

As soon as the call was made, Colin began to complain. The most uncomfortable thing is always the boring time while waiting.

"Wait a little longer. I'm exfoliating. The beauty service here costs 3000 yuan an hour. I don't want to waste it."

Eugene's voice on the phone was a little lazy, as if enjoying that feeling.

"The world is going to end and you're fucking exfoliating."

It's not that Ke Lin really cares about this matter, but that if he doesn't do something, this ability...

Back in time.

Colin always had a bad premonition, so he asked Irina, a researcher at the headquarters of Section [-], what are most of the special abilities of patients with abyssalism.

She replied that it was nothing more than the ability to manipulate elements, or to strengthen the power to become some animals. There are all kinds of things, but some powerful abilities often have limitations, and of course the most are that some are useless at all. His ability is not as good as his own vision.

Colin just had a vague feeling that what this ability meant meant something extremely crucial.

It has a great relationship with the outbreak and origin of submerged disease.

"Go rent a car first. I'll post a location later and you can pick me up. It's your compensation for rubbing my car so many times."

Eugene groaned comfortably, the beauty service was quite useful to her.

"Hold……"

Colin stubbed out the cigarette butt, hung up the phone, and prepared to go to the car dealership to rent a car.
