Late at night, in the office.
[Draft for the Protection of Rights and Interests of Beastmen], [Census of Danbo Inner Circle], [Survey of Beastmen Community in Yingzhou], [History and Key Files of the Anesthetic Tracking Alliance] …
Under the cold light, confidential files were casually thrown on the table one after another, overlapping each other.
Ai Qing closed her eyes and rubbed her swollen eyes.
She felt the absurd nature of this country from the bottom of her heart …
Yingzhou, which was known for its openness and multiculturalism, was actually the most conservative and xenophobic place in the world.
Passersby in a hurry would not have time to pay attention to the interior under the bright appearance in front of the colorful scenery. Instead, they would admire the open and civilized appearance.
For the native people here, the country had never changed because of outsiders.
Even the general, the ghost from America, could not change the deep-rooted concepts and thinking that had long been ingrained in the inheritance …
It was true that Yingzhou, which suffered a heavy setback 70 years ago, could hardly be called a sovereign country now. It could not even have a violent institution like the army.
The Ascender Institution, Luming Hall, and the elite force 'seat' could only exist as a gathering place for the Chinese and the emperor's guards. They could not appear in the meeting of the Central Bureau in the form of an official institution.
Even the name of the Chinese had long been abolished.
But that was only a nominal disappearance. In fact, everyone knew what was going on.
The high officials and dukes of the past just continued to rule the country in a different way. They chose one tool after another and pushed it to the front to bear the anger from the people on their behalf.
And they themselves hid behind the scenes through the overlapping of shares. They continued to be rooted in this land with a pervasive and terrifying influence.
All kinds of accumulated abuses led to a completely different situation here from other countries. Under the intentional or unintentional indulgence of all parties, all kinds of bizarre and barbaric growth occurred.
In addition to the peace and tranquility on the surface, all the places where the sun could not find were filled with demons. It could be said that some places would become a literal no-go zone once it was dark.
According to the statistics of the Astronomical Association, more than 30% of the border smugglers came from the borders of Yingzhou.
At the same time, this chaos and indulgence also brought a lot of wealth to Yingzhou, and even led to investment and various peripheral industries.
With the large border extending from Kyoto — Yokosuka — as the axis, Yingzhou formed the largest border hub in the entire Asia. It was also the largest border material circulation channel in the present state.
At the same time, it also became one of the main gathering places for beastmen in the entire territory. Edo, Osaka, and even the capital had 'moldy spots' like the 'Danbo Inner Circle' that many important people despised …
Hybrids who couldn't obtain a proper position under the sun would throw themselves into the darkness, and exist in every corner of this class.
The main body was the Extreme Dao Alliance, which was formed by five mixed-race large guilds and societies under the initiative of the five big bosses.
Their influence covered almost every aspect of the mixed race's lives. A Yingzhou beastman had been dealing with them since he was born, from unlicensed hospitals and unlicensed doctors to education, catering, pharmaceuticals, and even work …
Strictly speaking, there was not much of a strict subordinate relationship between Green Sun and the five big bosses. The two sides were more similar to a deep alliance.
Green Sun needed the influence of the present state, and the five big bosses also needed the support of Green Sun's strength. Everyone knew that the other party was their important arm, indispensable and irreplaceable, so they could only continue to exist as one.
In the end, this behemoth called the 'Anesthetic Pursuit Alliance' was formed. Together with the Russian Federation's K Party, the Six Directions Society, the Heavenly Fool Company, the Iron King Party, the Illumination Cult, and other organizations, they formed the underworld of Yingzhou, a cruel system unique to the lawless zone.
Not only were the mixed races planning a riot, but now the secret struggle in Kyoto was getting more and more intense.
If the source of all this turmoil was traced back, it would be more and more unbelievable. The root cause was the 'proposed consumption tax increase' proposed by the Legislative Court of Yingzhou two months ago!
When the population growth index was decreasing year after year, the society was aging, the huge gap in pension reserves, and the prevalence of low consumerism, the continuous attacks had made the entire social system, which was glued together by harsh order suppression and a high welfare system, in danger …
In short, the government was out of money.
In order to maintain the existence of the welfare system, the tax increase was necessary.
Even if it was to quench their thirst, they couldn't care less.
The industries affected would involve the entire society. Oil, electricity, transportation, agriculture … Everything that could be produced and consumed would be re-evaluated.
Two months ago, when this proposal was proposed, it had already caused an uproar.
Because of this, the struggle became worse and worse. In the end, it had become another competition between the Wu Family and the Gong Family. As the central government, there was such a natural contradiction between the Gong Family and the Wu Family, who secretly divided the local areas.
The giant enterprises and societies added fuel to the fire, and the oppression and discrimination against the mixed races became more and more intense.
If left alone, the riot of the mixed races would most likely cause a large number of hidden contradictions to explode. Then, due to the chaos and uncontrolled destruction, they would be resisted and counterattacked by the entire Yingzhou … After everyone worked together to kill the mixed races, the social contradictions and hatred of the people would be transferred to them. They would get rid of the blame on their heads, and they would get a real benefit. It could be said that the benefits were endless.
As for the death of a few mixed races, it was not a big deal.
In this case, it was easy to understand the strange and indifferent attitude of both sides on this matter.
Make a fuss, make a fuss, the bigger the better …
Everything was just a carnival before the banquet began. Who knew how many people were rubbing their hands and could not wait.
If this riot could not be resolved, and the future of the God City and the technology he had mastered were completely destroyed, the inner circle of Danbo County would become hell.
Just as Ai Qing was thinking, a sharp sound suddenly came from the quiet office.
A short and loud alarm.
It came from a fist-sized object that looked like a counter beside her hand.
In an instant, the number on the flipping page sign had changed from 'zero' to 'one'.
Ai Qing's expression froze for a moment. She could not believe it.
In such a short time, the beacon had been activated once?
Soon, the phone from the decision-making room rang.
The news from the higher-ups of the Central Government confirmed her conjecture and confirmed the bad news.
"Yes, I know. I am looking for clues. Yes, I will speed it up. Don't worry. I know. I will not let the resources of the building be used up … "
Ai Qing nodded. She suppressed her anxiety and responded calmly. Only after hanging up the phone did she let out a long sigh.
"It seems that there is not much time left …"
She flipped open the irrelevant files on the screen and looked at the confidential information at the bottom — the familiar face in the photo. She felt unhappy from the bottom of her heart.
— — Where did this bastard go?
At the same time, Huai Shi also woke up from his dream.
There was no warning, no reason at all.
For some reason, he felt a strange sense of peace in his heart. But after thinking carefully for a long time, he could not understand.
He stared at the yellowed poster on the ceiling and quickly turned over to go back to sleep.
Yes, in the snores of his roommates and the smell of their feet.
At least tomorrow, I will go out and find a real place to live … Anyway, I will have to hand in the stolen money if I can't spend it all. I might as well get a better one!
.
At the same time, in the capital late at night.
At the scene of the fire outside Danbo District, the sirens of the fire engine dissipated into the night.
Pillars of water rose into the sky, extinguishing the last wisp of fire in the ruins and also poured on the young man's heart.
Cold.
Yuan Zhao, who had originally jumped out of the car with his trident and was about to go all out, gradually became disordered in the wind.
The quiet night wind blew, bringing with it the mocking screams of the Crows in the distance.
There was no expectation of fighting three hundred rounds with a strong enemy. There were also no underlings kowtowing. There was also no soul-stirring brave charge into the Tiger Demon's Den, a fierce battle between dragons and tigers. Not to mention, there was no fantasy of a mixed-race little sister praising Brother Yuan Zhao for being so powerful …
His mission target, along with the entire house, had long been burned to ashes …
"Hello, Big Sister Ye? There is definitely a problem with your divination … "
Yuan Zhao answered the phone with tears in his eyes: "It's not that I don't want to work. Can't we do some missions in the world of the living? Don't talk about that Russian Federation guy, this damned place has already been burned to ashes. There are no clues at all! "
"…"
On the other side of the phone, Ye Xueya was silent for a long time. She once again lowered her head to look at the astrolabe in front of her. Her eyebrows slightly raised: The stars above the capital actually broke without any warning?
Perhaps her observation was wrong, but what if it was not? No matter what method was used, it showed that the capital's muddy waters were deeper than she had imagined.
As expected, the job that Xuan Niao threw over was not so easy to accept.
She pinched her eyebrows and her heart became heavy.
"Come back first, Yuan Zhao. Have a good sleep before daybreak —"
Ye Xueya smiled: "Didn't you always complain that you haven't seen any famous places in Ying Zhou? This time, I'll satisfy you. "
"Hey! What do you want to do now! "Yuan Zhao suddenly felt a little scared.
"Nothing. Tomorrow, we'll go see the general …"
Before hanging up the phone, Ye Xueya thoughtfully reminded him: "Remember to wear formal clothes."
.
.
The next day at eight o 'clock in the morning, Huai Shi, who was awakened by the sound of knocking on the door, saw that there were more than forty missed calls on his phone before he could even go out to rent a room.
All of them were from the higher-ups of the Fujimoto Group. There were also a lot of messages and irritable urging — all of which were asking him to immediately call back or quickly contact them.
In the end, he turned on the do not disturb mode before going to bed yesterday and did not receive a single one.
When the door opened, he saw the ashen-faced Shan Xia standing outside the door.
"What are you doing? Why didn't you pick up your phone! "
"Uh …" Huai Shi awkwardly turned his head to look at the phone. "It … got a heatstroke. Cough cough, it's out of battery."
"What are you doing, you scoundrel!" Shan Xia reached out and pulled him out by the collar: "There's no time, hurry up and leave! Hurry up! "
"What the hell?" Huai Shi looked at him as if the sky had fallen and could not understand: "Could it be that the Metropolitan Police Department has come to arrest us?"
Shan Xia turned his head and coldly glared at him.
He lowered his voice.
"Boss Fujimoto, I can't hold on much longer."
