As far as the eye could see, everything was shrouded in heavy rain.
But even though the ground was covered by rain, the light gray clouds were burned red by the fire.
There were cries and loud noises in the distance. Huai Shi stood on the messy street and stared at everything in front of him tiredly.
The entire inner circle of Danbo gradually collapsed in the burning. Even if he used all his strength and released all the hells, he could only protect a few small blocks behind him.
Less than five thousand people …
He could no longer take care of any more places.
And now, in front of him, there were only wails left on the street after the battle.
Amid the rubble and collapsed ruins, stifled cries sounded ceaselessly.
"Doctor! Where is the doctor? "
A woman with disheveled hair and a dirty face walked barefoot on the street, looking around blankly. She tried her best to carry her husband on her back and cried hoarsely. When she saw Huai Shi, she rushed up as if she had found hope. She staggered, fell on the ground, and got up again.
"Save him, please save him … Mr. Huai Shi, please …"
She knelt on the ground, kowtowing and begging with all her might, ignoring the stones on the ground that scratched her pretty face. "I will use my whole life to repay you, Mr. Huai Zhi. Please, I beg you …"
However, the man in her arms was already dead.
He had lost his breath.
As she gradually lost her strength, Huai Shi closed his eyes.
"I'm sorry," he said, "I can't do anything."
The woman froze on the spot and stared at him blankly. After a long, long time, her hopeful expression collapsed.
Little by little, she bent down.
She hugged her dead husband and cried in pain.
"Why, I took out all my money … I can do anything … Why can't you let him go … We didn't do anything!!!"
In the end, she even lost the strength to cry.
She got up numbly, carefully picked up her dead husband, kissed his cheek, and comforted him softly, "Don't be afraid, I will be with you. You will be fine soon … Very soon …"
No one responded.
She sobbed silently and staggered away, never turning back to look at him.
Her cries were loud, but her despair was silent …
Huai Shi stood in the same place.
He raised his head to look at the sky.
A thunderous sound reverberated in the distant sky, and a pitch-black shadow quickly appeared. Amidst the low vibrations in the air, it gradually approached, and cast a beam of cold light from the highest point.
It illuminated the darkness where the firelight could not.
It was as if the will of the heavens was looking down on this great earth full of pain. However, that light was so cold, not wavering in the slightest, only coldly looking down.
Just behind the searchlights of several helicopters, photographers carrying cameras were taking pictures of the chaotic streets and the bloody conflicts from high up in the sky.
The images under the camera were continuously transmitted to the studio.
Behind them, Shangye, who was wiping the wounds on his face, suddenly had a change in expression. He snatched the phone from his subordinate's hand and said, "Boss, this is bad. Look, look at this …"
On his phone, the TV station was broadcasting the emergency news live …
Captions kept scrolling on the dilapidated image of the Inner Circle of Danbo. However, the signal was too unstable. It was difficult to see clearly and could only be vaguely distinguished.
Identity checks by the police … a large number of illegal immigrants from Danbo District … armed conflict …
Even the most eye-catching [Riot]!
On the image, outside the Inner Circle of Danbo, a large number of poor people who were not even dressed properly were pushing and shoving with all their might, trying to escape the chaotic streets behind them.
However, roadblocks had already been set up at the edge of the intersection.
Fully armed police officers held up large shields and coldly forced the surging crowd to retreat. Then, they threw smoke bombs into the crowd.
Under the impact of high-pressure water cannons, the surging crowd collapsed and scattered …
In the silence, the image suddenly went silent for a moment, and then switched back to the live broadcast.
The news anchor with a serious expression sat up straight and said, "It is reported that the organized riot of illegal immigrants this time is led by violent and terrorist organizations … We have obtained information from the police about the mastermind …"
On the image, photos kept appearing one after another.
Familiar faces kept appearing one after another.
Sheng Tianmu Cang Jie, Qian Ye Long Er, the future of God City, and one of the last instigators of the riot …
— — Huai Zhijin!
Under the illumination of the searchlights in the sky, the camera perfectly overlooked everything on the ground. Finally, it turned to the man who indifferently raised his head and looked at the sky.
It was as if the camera hidden behind the searchlights could be seen through the camera.
He quietly stared at the camera and slowly raised his hand.
He showed his middle finger.
The pitch-black birds screeched and rushed into the sky. The crow tide rose and fell, blocking the camera. The helicopter quickly shook and spun. It had no choice but to increase the altitude. The live signal was cut off.
On the screen of the phone, the camera had switched back to the live broadcast. The two experts with serious expressions began to discuss the household registration system of Yingzhou and illegal immigrants …
Huai Shi retracted his gaze and waved his hand to signal Shangye to go back. He could not help but want to laugh.
What was this?
The undercover had become the leader of a gang. In order to prevent a riot, he had now become the instigator of the riot.
The world was obviously so cold, but sometimes, it was as absurd as a fantasy novel.
In the silence, there was a sudden vibration in his arms.
His phone.
It was a confidential call from the Astronomy Society.
It brought subtle shocks again and again, constantly reminding him.
However, this was not the channel that Ai Qing had originally used. Instead, it was a call from a stranger in another division. This stranger had used a higher authority to forcibly replace Ai Qing's original frequency and sent a communication request.
The phone vibrated again and again, and the red alert on the screen flashed.
It reminded him of the seriousness of the situation.
"Hello, who is this?" Huai Shi picked up the phone.
What answered him was a low voice that he had never heard before. It was hoarse and gloomy. "This is the head of the Yingzhou branch of the Federal Administration — René Yusheng."
Huai Shi frowned.
He was not shocked by the identity of the person on the other end of the phone. Instead, he had an increasingly uneasy premonition.
The head of the Yingzhou branch, the main person in charge of the Asian Decision Room of the Federal Administration in Yingzhou, had directly bypassed Ai Qing and directly contacted him, a tool?
This was completely out of order.
Moreover, Ai Qing was directly responsible for the Asian Decision Room of the Federal Administration. The two sides were not in the same system at all. Why did he contact him?
Huai Shi was silent for a moment and asked, "Should I call you Head Yusheng or Head René?"
"It doesn't matter what you call me. I only contacted you to inform you of one thing."
René Yusheng said, "Inspector Mr. Huai Shi, I am now giving you an official order in the official name of the Yingzhou branch: Stop all actions in the inner circle of Danbo and withdraw from Yingzhou."
He said, "Your mission is over."
"…"
In the long silence, Huai Shi was stunned on the spot.
He was dumbstruck.
"What … do you mean?" he asked.
"Exactly what it means. Stop everything you've done, cut off all ties, leave the capital, and report to the Yingzhou branch. There will be a border express to London waiting for you. You can return to the Ivory Tower this afternoon …"
Before René could finish, he was already interrupted by Huai Shi.
There was no longer any politeness and calmness on the surface. Huai Shi asked coldly, "You mean, you want me to wash my hands of what is happening in front of me?"
"This is not something you should care about, Mr. Huai Shi," Yusheng retorted.
"From the beginning, this kind of interference mission that is not recorded in the Yingzhou branch and has not been approved by me is not legitimate at all!
As a subordinate organization of the Decision Room, the Yingzhou branch does not have the right to interfere with national sovereignty! "
"Ha!"
Huai Shi was amused. He could barely suppress his anger and asked angrily, "Isn't it because of the Yingzhou branch's inaction that things have developed to this extent?!"
"Huai Shi, this has nothing to do with you." Yusheng lost his patience. "For the last time, Huai Shi, before the Yingzhou government accuses the Federal Administration of interfering with sovereignty, stop all actions in the inner circle of Danbo and withdraw from Yingzhou."
Huai Shi's eyes turned cold bit by bit.
"Sorry, Minister Yusheng, whether it is as the former Xinhai prosecutor of Dongxia or as a teacher of the Ivory Tower exchange group, you don't seem to have the ability and authority to order me around."
He replied coldly, "I am not your subordinate, and I don't need to care about your orders."
"No, now I am."
René Yusheng said, "Five minutes ago, Ai Qing has already been suspended because of her actions and refusal to cooperate with the investigation. You have already been assigned to the Yingzhou branch.
From just now until now, although I don't like your actions, I have always maintained enough restraint and politeness. I hope you don't make everyone unhappy.
I don't care what you are doing in my jurisdiction, but if you ignore the warning, I have the right to arrest and arrest you for violating the rules. I hope you … "
"Then come mess with me!"
Huai Shi interrupted him and said word by word, "Why are you talking so much nonsense? Are you also a part-time editor?
I am right here, René Yusheng. I am not going anywhere. If you are unhappy, why don't you hold it in? Do you really think everyone will spoil you?
Trash — "
Without waiting for him to speak, Huai Shi threw down his phone, pulled out his pistol, and pulled the trigger repeatedly.
In the end, the phone's condition could no longer be seen clearly.
In this short period of dead silence, all the members of the Huai Shi Group raised their heads in shock. They had never seen their leader so angry. He was like a wild beast, wanting to kill something.
The terrifying killing intent almost condensed into a solid form.
But very quickly, it dissipated again …
He regained his calmness again. He just turned around and ordered softly, "Take the people and let's go, Shangye."
"Where are we going?" Shangye got up and followed.
"Where we should go."
Huai Shi lowered his head and looked at the key left by Shengmu in his hand. He slowly clenched it. "I really can't take it anymore …"
.
.
The long night seemed endless. Only the fire burned and the sound of collapsing spread.
Before dawn, the whole world was at its darkest.
The refugees curled up in the ruins heard the low footsteps in the distance. They hid uneasily in places where the light could not reach, and peeked in fear.
But soon, the footsteps came closer and closer, accompanied by the sound of heavy vehicles.
Under the illumination of the roof lights, everything seemed to be daytime. The dense footsteps covered the heavy rain. Wherever they passed, all the sounds of fighting disappeared in an instant.
The soldiers, armed to the teeth, seemed to have gathered into a formation. They rushed straight into the inner circle of Dan Bo, coldly suppressing all the chaos, and killed the extreme dao people one by one.
When the survivors saw the emblem of the shogunate's authority on their bodies, they were stunned and felt a sudden surprise.
The general, it was the general's guards!
"Self-Defense Forces! The Self-Defense Forces are here! "
In the broken house, the old survivors were overjoyed and cheered in ecstasy. "We are saved! We are saved!
This nightmarish night was finally over.
Many people cried tears of joy.
But soon, they realized that something was amiss …
In front of them, the people who came to save them stopped, slowly turned around, and looked at their faces.
The eyes behind the mask were cold and indifferent.
The muzzle was slowly raised …
The trigger was pulled.
.
.
At this moment, outside Kyoto, in a resort hotel built in the mountains.
Ai Qing sat in the luxurious suite arranged for her, expressionlessly watching the live broadcast on the TV. She stared at the host's surprised expression, and the guests in the live broadcast room breathed a sigh of relief.
She did not get the slightest bit of joy from them.
Instead, she did not even have the strength to snort at this stupidity.
"Idiot, you still don't understand …"
She closed her eyes.
Even if she had foreseen such a scene, she did not want to see the hypocritical smiles on the screen.
Then, there was no inference to continue before the reboot.
That night, on the embankment by the river, she did not finish what she said to Yoo Dong-ri. The inference completed from Yoo Dong-ri's own mistakes.
The truth that he had never revealed to others in order to avoid too much disturbance …
He was right about one thing. For the Danbo Inner Circle, the Astronomy Society could not be trusted.
The Astronomy Society had never cared about the life and death of hybrids …
To be precise, allowing this group of beastmen with abyssal traits to continue living was already a rare and precious benevolence after weighing the pros and cons.
And Yoo Dong-ri's time jump just proved one point — in the foreseeable future, the Danbo Inner Circle would become a threat to the Present Realm.
Beside Ai Qing's hand, the 'beacon' jumped again.
【33】。
This was the echo left on the timeline after the time jump.
As time went by, the echo frozen in the 'future' gradually came to the present and was received by the beacon, becoming proof that the Bifrost had once operated.
Such an exaggerated number of time jumps could only prove one thing — there was a 'result' that the time jump could not reverse.
When thinking from this narrow point of view, the number of possibilities left becomes very small.
The possibility of the Green Sun triggering a war in the Present Realm and the border had been overruled and could be put aside.
And the Divine City's future use of Miyamoto's results combined with the power of the Eternal Beast to create the existence of the swampmen, which confirmed her previous conjecture.
But if that was the case, then there was another problem: even if the swampmen were the flesh of the Eternal Beast, they did not have the ability to stop Yoo Dong-ri's time jump.
The data provided by Cole, the head of the laboratory, proved that the Divine City's future research had only just been completed.
If Yoo Dong-ri wanted to stop him, there was plenty of time …
But why did he not succeed?
The answer was so obvious.
In addition to the Eternal Beast, there was also the existence of the element of destruction!
So, let's start with the simplest elimination method …
Based on the analysis of all the basic data at hand, which element of destruction was most likely to appear in the Danbo Inner Circle?
The qualitative change of the primordial substance did not occur, the hybrids' souls did not transform and still maintained their original appearance, and the Silver Ocean did not detect the existence of harmful memes.
Then, Boxun could be ruled out.
Although extreme and distorted, there was still a stable structure of alliances among the hybrids, and most of them still retained their rationality and did not degenerate into a chaotic community.
Even if it was very sick, this level was still within the normal range for the time being.
The interference of the element of destruction, the Pied Piper, could be ruled out.
A week ago, the gray-robed man appeared in Egypt, and his uncontrollable nature would not stop just because he was a hybrid, let alone a conspiracy, so he could also be ruled out.
Then, according to the favorite method of the detectives in Benguet's detective novels, after eliminating all possibilities, the only possibility that emerged was the only one.
The distorted society formed by long-term external pressure, the law of the jungle built purely by the law of the jungle …
Whose favorite altar would that be?
— Yoo Dong-ri was wary of the existence of the Rancher!
Now, in the Danbo Inner Circle, there was also the interference and influence of the Rancher aside from the Eternal Beast!
That was the warning that Ai Qing had given to the decision-making room in her secret report.
She did not fail to live up to this heavy trust and expectation.
In a short half a month, through her own observation and intelligence collection, Ai Qing had perfectly completed the task that the decision-making room had arranged for her.
But what if she continued to infer?
Apart from the confusing details, if one were to look at the overall situation of Yingzhou from a bird's eye view, who in the entire Yingzhou had the right, the qualification, the skill and the patience to turn the Danbo Inner Circle into such a situation step by step?
Who had caused all of this?
Three people.
The first was the head of the Yingzhou branch, René Yusheng. The second was the emperor who was still sitting in the Imperial Palace. The third was the general.
When the 'Swamp People Syndrome' appeared, Ai Qing had suspected René, but she quickly concluded that René was just an incompetent bureaucrat.
Perhaps in the upcoming interim meeting of the P5, he had seen that there would be a new conflict between the Border Party and the Sovereignty Party, so he chose this political speculation.
But as a pure bureaucrat, René Yusheng might be good at pretending to be deaf and dumb, but he would never take the initiative to touch something that could doom him eternally.
This was not an expectation of his integrity, but a trust in his bureaucratic instincts.
Then, the emperor of Yingzhou?
Impossible, right? The weakened Yingzhou lineage would have the courage to touch the bottom line of the Astronomical Society, try to grasp the law of the Eternal Beast, and take over the power of the Rancher? An emperor who longed for a resurgence would be unwise enough to collude with the elements of destruction?
Even if it was weak, he still had many chips in his hands. As long as he was alive, he was the true master of the Yingzhou lineage. There was no need to stake everything.
It was too stupid.
He was only 14 years old. He could wait.
Then, there was only one result left in the end …
The former White House Knight, the current Ghost Fang.
The leader of the Yingzhou Wu Family — Douglas Arthur!
Think about it irresponsibly.
Since he was exiled to this remote island country, for 50 years, the former strongest grade 5 had endured the shackles of Yingzhou's framework and was imprisoned on this long and narrow land by the Origin Code of the Yingzhou lineage.
He lost his freedom, gradually indulged in sensual pleasures, indulged in pleasure, and lived happier than anyone else in the world. He lived more unhappily than anyone else …
Just when everyone thought that he was old, he suddenly showed his claws and teeth.
In order to smash the cage, he did not hesitate to let the elements of destruction complete the fusion in the capital!
Was there such a possibility?
When such a conjecture emerged from his thoughts, it could no longer be ignored.
If this was the truth, then the General's Guard that had descended into the inner circle of the Danbo was the last straw that created the 'hell on earth'.
Now, the darkness between dawn was about to pass, but the sun had not risen.
Under the gradually thinning rainstorm, the fire in the inner circle of the Danbo gradually extinguished.
At the same time, the cries and whimpers disappeared without a trace.
In this deathly stillness, the ferocious dogs ravaged everywhere.
The massacre in the name of suppressing the riot had begun!
