Chapter 121: Spreading obscurity
Kara~
The corner of the electronic screen smashed on a small piece of glass on the ground and made a crisp sound, and the middle-aged man wearing white labor protection gloves and a gray overalls was shocked, and looked under the eyes in a little panic, and found that the glass was broken, and he couldn't help but sigh.
"Lao He, let's wash it here. β
The young man on the other side, dressed like him, said in a muffled voice.
"Okay, I'll put the water and you wipe it. β
Drag the electronic screen to the entrance of the roadway, and take the shopkeeper's electronic card to the edge of the water outlet at the base of the wall.
Balance: 16
Please select the mode: Cold, Hot.
The water supply in the high-rise community of Thousand Sails City is not abundant, coupled with the unique vertical urban structure, the outdoor water supply installation in the middle and low-level communities of the whole city requires a special water card to be activated, except for the upper community.
For poor families, the daily water bill is a headache.
A thumb-thick column of water gushed out of the external leather tube, Lao He carefully held it, the young man's little finger and ring finger clamped a curved wire, and the other three fingers took a sponge pad and began to wipe and clean up some "holiday remnants" hanging on the outer layer of the electronic screen.
During Halloween's Day, all major shops will be decorated, and because of the snow a few days ago, many devices are stuck to the edge of the device, and now that Halloween is over, it is natural to find a way to clean up, otherwise it will always make people feel stumbling on the faΓ§ade.
And Lao He and this young man are doing the work of helping people clean up, this is not their own job, it belongs to the work of extra money, and there is no money in the past, but Xu is just made a lot of money on Halloween's Day, and the shopkeeper at this time period is generally in a good mood, even if he does not increase his salary, he will give some other gifts and other things as an addition.
"I have to go home after washing this, and I have been working for ten hours today, and my waist is about to break...... What about you, aren't you tired, I see you haven't stopped since the early hours of this morning, it's been almost 20 hours, it's a good thing to make money, and you can't work hard with your body. β
The young man glanced at the man next to him, his sunken eye frames and heavy eye bags, coupled with his pale complexion, looked not only tired, but even a little mentally weak.
"Of course I know that, but it's only in the next few days that I can make some extra money, so I have to think of more work, and when I'm done with this, I'm going to go home and rest." β
He was well aware of the overwhelm of his body, and his fingers touched the temples on both sides with water, allowing himself to barely stay awake and continue to work.
Fortunately, it didn't take too long to clean an electronic screen, and in about ten minutes, the two of them put it back on the faΓ§ade and packed up their things to go home.
The traffic on the street and the noisy sound made people irritable, and Lao He, who was already tired, simply turned into the laneway and prepared to go home from the outer streets.
"Hiss~Whew~"
When I took a sip of hot water, I felt soreness all over my body that had been detached from work, and the scene in front of me was faintly ghosted.
He decided to sit down and rest for a while before hitting the road.
Placing your backpack on the ground, leaning against the wall, and taking another sip of hot water, your eyes cast on the brilliant neon lights outside the fence, and the holographic projection of the image wanders between the cities.
This is the unique beauty that belongs to Thousand Sails City, but it does not belong to him, an old resident of Thousand Sails City.
"Let's go!"
Cheer yourself up, put your hands on the wall and get ready to get up.
Suddenly a foreign object floated in front of him, and subconsciously his gaze followed, and what he saw was a fist-sized black and purple ball, like a bubble...... No, the bubble was supposed to be translucent, but the ball was filled with something that made him uncomfortable, and he looked up along its floating trajectory.
The shivering sensation made his body tremble uncontrollably.
What is that?
In an inadvertent glance, he saw that in the middle of the city, countless disgusting black-purple bubbles were converging again.
Just when he wanted to take a closer look at what it was.
In the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the central void again.
Brilliant neon light filled the place again.
This...... Hallucinations?
I guess it's an illusion!
As a human, his sanity was doing its best to convince him that it was all a hallucination of his extreme exhaustion, because he couldn't think too much, not even for a moment.
At the same time, on the second floor of the private clinic a few blocks away, Zhu Jue was also looking out the window at night.
He had to admit that the night scene of Thousand Sails City was undoubtedly more beautiful than that of Dawn City, only occasionally his eyes drifted, and he would eventually fall in the middle of the empty layer, although the scene in the prophecy had not appeared in the dream realm recently, but Zhu Jue always had a strange sense of urgency in his heart.
It seemed that everything was happening in dark corners that he didn't know......
Rhona and his family had been put on the plane to Dawning City by him two hours ago, and Lisanna would be there to pick them up, and the benefits promised before would not be less, which was a guilt in addition to Zhu Jue.
has deceived people for so long, and this compensation can also satisfy Rona in the future.
"You're going to a press conference?"
Suzi was sitting on the sofa behind Zhu Jue, and Gu Yinxing was also beside her.
Half an hour ago, Newcastle contacted Zhu Jue, thinking it was just routine communication, who would have thought that the former actually said that he wanted Zhu Jue to ...... No, it should be Hannibal Lecter who became the honoree of their scavenger operation, receiving the commendation from the government of Thousand Sails.
The reason is also sufficient, on the one hand, Zhu Jue can take this opportunity to stay in the government team justifiably, and the communication with Newcastle can be completely covered by propaganda, with the experience of Rhone, Newcastle completely blocked the news this time, and only he knew that Rona left a replacement.
On the other hand, in fact, this is also a measure to protect Zhu Jue, the most dangerous place is the safest place, maintaining a high degree of exposure will make the vast majority of ill-intentioned people give up on Zhu Jue, not to mention that as long as he participates in the press conference and accepts the government's commendation, others who want to move him must take into account the reaction of the Thousand Sails City government.
The most important thing is that this suggestion is reasonable and does not arouse suspicion.
In order to stabilize the mood of the people at the bottom, the government of Qianfan City has proposed a total of ten places, of which five are for hired doctors and security personnel, and the remaining five are for medical personnel in the low-level communities.
When Newcastle returned to the clinic to check the name of Hannibal Lecter, he found that he was one of the few doctors among all the employed to remain in the low-level community after the blackout, and that he was the only director of a private practice, and that no one could blame him for receiving the commendation.
"Of course, this is a good opportunity to contact the government of Thousand Sails City...... Whether or not I can find the Ouroboros in the government, at least I can get some up-to-date information through Newcastle. β
Zhu Jue didn't plan to continue waiting for the Ouroboros Organization to implement the next plan, he was ready to take the initiative to look for opportunities.
"Is there anything we can do to help?"
Gu Yinxing, who had left the low-level community, was a little impatient to continue tracking down the Ouroboros organization, and she wanted to play a big enough role in the process of destroying these cult organizations, so as to comfort those companions who stood in front of her when the crisis came.
"Of course, Ginkgo, I need you to continue to search for the Ouroboros in the lower city and be in charge of liaison with the Ranger Order, you are the only one of the three of us who knows anything about the Ranger Order, and no one else can do this except you. β
Looking back at the two of them, he continued,
"Suzi, you can help me edit the video as soon as possible, you only need the battle part in the polluted area, including my airdrop bomb to find the bone tree and the subsequent battle with that monster, I think this is enough to make the Thousand Sails City government maintain higher vigilance against the Ouroboros organization, and maybe it can also make the Ouroboros organization even more unable to hold back their murderous intentions against me, we still can't figure out their true plans, any method that can delay time is worth trying." β
"No problem, I'll finish it as soon as possible. β
Suzi answered.
"Okay, you two stay at the clinic, I still have to go out. β
After explaining the things that should be explained, Zhu Jue was ready to go out again.
"Now, is there anything important?"
"It's important to me, concrete...... You can think of it as about the after-sales service of the pharmacy and the personal experience of taking the drug. β
The previous conversation with the ancient man was not enough for Zhu Jue to fully understand his changes, he needed a more comprehensive answer, in order to better understand his body!
