Chapter 226: The Sound of Silence
……
According to David, the situation in the real world can only be described in four words - foggy!
On the one hand, the global economic depression has been strangely flattened, and on the other hand, the strange phenomena in world politics are also incomprehensible to ordinary people......
The economic problems are too profound for Qi Siyuan to understand, but the activities in the political arena are so frequent that they are dizzying. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
What is the G8 Summit, the G20 Summit, the UN General Assembly...... It opens almost every month. Not to mention the fact that world leaders go to each other's turf to meet privately or secretly online. However, the actual results of these meetings, which were made public, were far lower than those of previous meetings.
This lets everyone know that the real meeting is all highly confidential. Even the low-ranking officials who were in attendance were given extremely harsh gag orders. Despite the efforts of the reporters from all over the world who flocked to them when they asked about the smell, they did not dig up any strong news.
But unexpectedly, David, a game otaku who seems to be just a second-generation brother, was able to guess some of the inside story.
According to his speculation, the background of the last two meetings was all caused by the strange decline and change of the big capitalists and big families who originally held the lifeblood and real power of the United States, the European Union and other major powers. Among them, the coppery smell of the division of interests is simply about to come out.
In addition, there were several reasons for convening the congress: the strong rise of Japan's new prime minister actually withstood the pressure of the United States and the United Nations and began to rebuild the army; After several scuffles in the Middle East, the flames of war have subsided, and dozens of countries have reached a united front. With the improvement of the status of the Chinese in Southeast Asia, China has a faint momentum of local hegemony in this region......
In previous years, if one of these strange political phenomena appeared, it would have been hyped up, but this year it has strangely not made much waves. David speculates that this may be the effect of the rapid development of virtual games, or the influence of the increasing number of strange things in the world.
But Qi Siyuan is different from David, who doesn't know much about professionals, but he smells the smell of extraordinary meetings from behind these changes.
When he thought about it, all these changes in world politics revolved around a few key locations: China, the Middle East, Japan, the United States, Southeast Asia, and ...... It corresponds to the country where the five beta testers are located today, or the area of influence. To say that there is no greasy in it, it is impossible to say.
However, judging by the mysterious organization that makes up one-third of the members of the transcendent council, it has always been trouble-stirring. I'm afraid that these changes on the table are just the tip of the iceberg of the real chaos that has surfaced.
Thinking of this, Qi Siyuan asked Fuji Ling to inject a certain dose of anesthetic solution into David again, making him fall into a deep sleep again.
Then, in the posture of the owner of this luxurious suite, he sat on the spacious sofa in the room. He casually brought himself a glass of wine, and while drinking it as a soda, he said thoughtfully:
"It seems that what has become of this world, I'm afraid I still have to see it for myself......"
……
Five days later, at night, in a remote location in Manhattan.
Qi Siyuan, who was dressed in a black leather trench coat, was walking on this street where even the street lights were half broken in the drizzle.
Behind him, a thin figure covered in a black cloak held an umbrella for him, despite the fact that he was wet.
He wasn't curious why New York, such a bustling international city, couldn't afford to press a few street lights. Because he knows that the street lights here are not that the street management office is reluctant to spend money to replace them, but even if they are replaced, they will not be able to save them for a few days.
Syllable~~! Just as he walked by, another street lamp was stoned. Then, shouting, fighting, begging for mercy, screaming...... Two gangs of delinquent youths armed with sticks are staging a bloody farce in the shadows for unknown interests.
No matter how prosperous and prosperous this world is, there will always be many remote corners, dirty, poor, chaotic, hopeless, depraved, adulterous, and sinful...... Breed here. Even, some places that can't be called corners.
And more people who survive in these dark corners, after suffering from darkness, have to turn into maggots in the darkness to adapt to the darkness that envelops the world.
On the cold streets, they were dressed as if they were spirits and female ghosts*** When he walked by, these women, who were already old and decrepit, but did not have the slightest diploma or work experience, ignored the heavy makeup on their faces and were wet by the rain, and did not hesitate to pull open their already scarce clothes and expose their chests. Or pick up the short and scary skirt that is already short, and show off your capital that is about to pass out.
It was also the first time that Qi Siyuan felt this layer of darkness so straightforwardly and touched this layer of coldness.
He cocked his neckline and listened to an off-the-beaten-path singer standing alone under a dark roof playing "thesound of silence" under the dark eaves of his feet......

Two gangsters who were also hiding their heads and tails passed by him. He could smell the heavy smell of blood, alcohol, and gunsmoke from one of them...... It was the same smell of killing, sin, conspiracy, death, but he didn't react at all.
These are just ordinary mortals! And he, whether active or motivated, is unconsciously getting farther and farther away from these mortal worlds......
The strong physique made him lose all kinds of physical pain, fatigue, hunger, eating, drinking, and even excessive estrus time caused by hormones. The extremely perverted soul power makes the world in his eyes full of all kinds of information that ordinary people can't observe. Nowadays, there are few things and secrets in the material world that can escape his keen spiritual sense.
For example, at this moment, he was able to spot a low-level vampire in a narrow alley on his left hand side, sucking the unpalatable blood that had already been contaminated with alcohol and drugs.
This level of gnawing, if not fatal, could make the homeless man extremely anemic or accidentally infected by a vampire's saliva, becoming a rabies-like patient. But these still can't move him~!
It wasn't until he saw a dance bar with a crimson sign that he finally stopped. (To be continued.) )
