Chapter 2: Bliss

"Carnival, new era!"

The water bus is full of advertisements with this as the main headline, mostly promoting real estate or luxury goods. 【Fengyun Reading Network. The new era is a new topic in Osaka and the entire Nippon-Nanyang area. The Central Continent announced that the Hundred Day Ghost had been eliminated, the apocalyptic process had been terminated, and the entire world had ushered in a "new life". It's like a second life, where people don't have to cling to gold and enjoy life.

There were a few passengers on the bus who had a good conversation and the topic was also there. The political landscape of the nascent era is talked about by everyone.

Xindi knew that the Hundred Days Ghost was still alive, and the countdown to the hundred-day demise did not stop. She thought to herself: The Great Purge may be about to begin. Perhaps the Central Continent is replacing the entire Japanese-Southern Circle of government on a large scale, with the radicals of Maleria and the New Eastern Capital being the first targets. This is also what Hinty worries the most. The policy of the central mainland has always been to use troops to attack and plot. For example, the significance of the First Sino-Japanese War was not to win, but to use the internal contradictions of each country to give birth to local self-government and mercenary classes, and then dismember most of the countries; On the surface, the 100-day ghost appears to be a sequelae of the First Sino-Japanese War, but from another perspective, it is the 100-day ghost that caused the collapse of people's trust and religious belief in the local self-government. Now, the Central Continent can safely take over all places.

In this way, the local government radicals who were the main fighters became victims, and Maleria bore the brunt of the casualties, and the accidental death of Commander Lei was undoubtedly the best breakthrough to purge the forces of the Nanyang local self-government.

It is not difficult for Xinti, an arms supplier in the Asia-Pacific region, to think of this, and her young Zhuang officer salon in the new eastern capital has long been panicked.

Could it be that Criminal Police Li came for the case of Division Commander Lei, and then thinking that he had said that he would "no longer work for the special police officer", Xindi began to feel that danger was approaching, as if a cloud of black smoke was chasing after him from behind.

Arrived in front of the zoo.

During the war, the government euthanized all the animals in accordance with the emergency law to prevent air strikes from destroying cages and causing animals to run into the streets and hurt people. Now that the war is over, all that remains is an empty foundation.

We must hurry up and get ahead of the danger. Hinty stepped out of the water bus via a springboard and looked at this strange place. The original subway tunnel has been completely opened up and now becomes a river, and some of the streets have sunken, making it look like a Japanese Venice. The terrain is more complicated than you think, and outside the station is the long No. 1 Street in front of the zoo, a narrow street covered by a glass dome. The anti-seismic rubber strip of the dome has not been completely removed, and there are countless huge crosses along the long street at the overhead junction, which is quite a strange oriental Gothic feeling. Further on, the flavor of Heisei became more and more intense, and the out-of-tune singing in the izakaya and the ringing of the bell in the pachinko room to attract customers made it seem as if the Sino-Japanese War had never happened, and the world would never end. The road is simply a corridor of time.

She carefully dodged the crowd, where people dressed casually, as if the whole street was a family. Xinti was a complete outsider, and when passers-by saw her wearing expensive Chinese-style cheongsam and shawl, they immediately lowered their heads, as if they were deliberately avoiding her. After a long walk of about ten minutes, Hinti finally came out of this glass-roofed alley, the overpass in front of her coiled overhead like a concrete dragon, and the PGZ-04A self-propelled anti-aircraft gun truck and several guards of the Central Continent were parked in the shadows.

Xindi was a woman who was hard not to be noticed, and the guards looked at her a few times, then turned to her companion and whispered to each other. She noticed it, and felt a little inexplicable in her heart. At this moment, the phone suddenly vibrated with a text message, a very short sentence: "I'm waiting for you." "Is this a message from Criminal Police Li, the number is the same as just now, there are only short horizontal lines and three zeros, it should be him. She deletes the text message and goes back to the navigation screen to check the route. I was not mistaken, there was a two-meter-high cement table clock in front of me, the same as marked on the navigation map, it was 6 o'clock in the afternoon, and I went down the steps to the right of the clock to the new land of Tokita. She hesitated slightly, raised her hand and lifted the hem of her skirt, and walked down. The guards behind him saw the surprisingly beautiful oriental woman walking in the direction of the red light street, shook his head, and turned back to his post.

Even before the war, Tokita Shinchi was a very traditional place, and it was as if time had stood still all along, even before the two world wars. The street is estimated to be just over five meters wide, and is lined with neat and uniform double-storey wooden windows on both sides, with lanterns in front of each house and signboards written with various words of spring flowers, autumn moons and summer breezes. All of these shops were registered as restaurants after the war, and the Owari Gumi, a yakuza gang in charge of security, was transformed into the Owari Gumi Hida Cuisine Association. Xindi glanced twice into the store, and the door was open: in front stood the old mother soliciting customers, and in the main hall sat a bright and lovely girl, with gorgeous and bright clothes, exquisite furnishings around her, and dazzling lights, which made the girl look like a fairy tale doll. Glance at both sides, each family has its own ** theme, ancient charm and elegant style, and students are dressed up as white-collar workers for people to choose.

Looking at the smiling faces of these window girls as the guests scramble, Hindy pursed her lips. She took out her phone from her bag and looked at it, but there was no information and she didn't know how to find the criminal policeman.

The sun was completely hidden, the breeze was blowing, and I felt a little chilly. Xindi walked forward in the flow of men, and many people saw her, and there would be accosting her almost every few steps, which made people feel uncomfortable. She simply left this ** small street and turned to a secluded place on the corner to avoid the street lights.

Xindi walked along the path parallel to the street, trying to avoid the crowds. He was holding a bag in his right arm, for fear of missing the meeting information. At this time, Feitian was lit up and colorful, and the men were dazzled by countless window dolls, and no one noticed her in the corner.

Further on, the light became dimmer and dimmer, and this place was beyond the boundaries of Feitian. Not far away is the flooded area, where a large area of houses has been half-sunk. The original road has been converted into a river channel and a small pier, and several dinghys undulate in the water. She stopped and confirmed the text message again, but there was still no message. Hindy leaned against the eaves behind the corner house, looking around warily.

Contrary to her guess, there was no one near the pier. But I don't know when, someone followed behind him.

The heart is pounding.

In the dim light, someone walked towards him.

Who is that, whether it is a pleasure-seeking passerby or a high-level police officer. The other party's white shirt reflected a yellow halo, a loose tie hung on the neckline, and a jacket in his left hand, a bit like the Li Changgeng criminal police in his memory. But Xindi's first reaction was to decide that the other party was not, because this person did not have a certain quality that Detective Li had, a kind of leisurely confidence like a vulture staring at its prey.

Just as her attention was on this person, someone behind her suddenly spoke: "You can't run." ”

Hindy was shocked. Turning around, a stout man in a black suit walked towards him, with the Owari gumi badge pinned to his chest. "The mother of the Hui family is looking for you everywhere, do you want to elope with that man?" The man looked relieved, as if he had completed a major errand, "Come back with me, what's so good about that kind of man."

She was about to argue, when the mysterious man just now also came over and said directly to the other party: "Go away, you recognize the wrong person." ”

"Admit mistakes? Who are you. ”

The man pulled out his credentials from his chest and showed them in front of the other party.

The black suit took a closer look: "The guy of the special high-level police, you are about to cross the line." ”

"It's none of your business."

The guy didn't give up, and looked Hindy up and down again. Xindi saw that the mysterious man showed his high-level police ID, and at this time, she hoped that the Feitian gang would take her away. But the black suit also seemed to realize that he had recognized the wrong person, he tilted his head, glared at her defiantly, turned and walked away with his shoulders crossed.

Hindy tried to hold him, but it was too late, the man had already stopped in front of her.

"You're Hindy."

"Yes." She has always been calm.

"Finally found you. I have some questions I would like to ask, is that okay? ”

"Not today, I'm waiting for someone."

"I'm here for him." He took out his ID again, but his voice was much softer, "I am Team Li's partner, and my name is Liu Shan." We met in the new eastern capital. ”

Xindi looked up, it was indeed him, Li Changgeng always called him Xiaosan'er, and his appearance had not changed much.

Liu Shan continued: "Team Li and I have made a discovery that you need to confirm. It's not convenient for him to show up here, so I'll take you to meet him. Come on. He motioned to the motorized boat at the dock.

At this time, I can't say I don't agree. Xindi followed him towards the docks, where she had pepper spray in her bag and a pistol in the holster on the inside of her right leg. If there is only one person on the other side, you should be able to handle it.

There was also a man standing on the motor boat in the night, unmooring and starting. The man, estimated to be in his mid-fifties, wore a regular jacket and baseball cap, was presumably local, and had the word "rental" and a contact number written on the driver's seat next to him.

Liu Shan, a special high-level policeman, asked Xindi to get on the boat, and he then went up, and the boat suddenly sank a lot. Hindy made her way into the cramped cabin and sat down. The water on the side of the boat was almost level with the line of sight, as if he was sitting underwater. Liu Shan said a word to the old man at the helm at the stern, then turned around and entered the cabin and closed the hatch.

The jet ski starts with a sudden sound, and black waves splash on both sides of the shoulder.

Xindi didn't look at Liu Shan, but looked at the dark night sky through the cabin. Now that he has deviated from Lei Yujian's track, it is still unknown what the future will be, whether he will discover the truth and break free from the clutches of the devil, or fall into another trap. But she decided to find out, and only then could she take control of her own destiny.

However, can the person in front of him really believe it? Xindi's legs clamped a little tighter, confirming the position of the holster inside the skirt. After leaving Meng, the gun was the only thing she could trust.
