Chapter 225: Election Day

"Vale, what do you mean by that?" Sinny Chels, a reporter for the Kasley Newsletter, holds an invitation and curiously discusses it with her colleagues.

"Kamen Ball Invitation! There must be a mystery in this? Vale took the invitation and read it several times.

The quality of the invitation is the kind of thing that can be bought in a boutique, and it is not a high-end item. What is unusual is the content inside:

"On the occasion of the general election, members of the major media in Kaslay City are cordially invited to go to the Little Women's Open-air Cafe on the west side of Yizheng Square on the evening of the 15th to watch the live visual commentary of the first general election in the history of the mainland. And in the early morning of the 16th, the masquerade officially opened. Also, please bring your camera, notebook and eyes, the live news will make you excited. ”

"What does this mean? Is there any hint that something unexpected will happen? "Is there anyone who is going to sabotage the election in front of media reporters?" ”

"I don't think that's what I mean, maybe it's a gimmick created by some parties themselves." Editor-in-chief Lever has a different opinion, "If you want to sabotage the election, it will be too late in the early morning of the 16th, not to mention that the council square was on strict guard that day, why did he explain it in advance, I think the key is these words, 'election visual live commentary', who can explain what this means?" ”

"The commentary is very easy to understand, it is a live broadcast, a visual live broadcast, is it a broadcast with images? I've heard of the technology that uses a device to record what people say and what they do, and then you can broadcast it in another place. An editor said.

"That's right, that's it, there must be companies that have broken through this technology and used the opportunity of the election to show it, which is another news besides the election! We'll visit when the time comes. ”

"Anyway, on election day, I'm definitely not going to sleep, and staying up late in the parliamentary square is even more exciting."

On September 15th, the low-key and affordable 'Little Women's Cafe' located on the west side of the Parliament Square released a notice board early in the morning that 'chartered the venue, one person can bring one person to enter, free consumption'. As early as a few days ago, a young man came and paid for the fee from the 15th to the early morning of the 16th, and generously paid 20,000 meters of preparatory consumption, ordering that as long as the guests came with invitations, they could be entertained for free.

From the private room of Duchamp's San Tino Hotel, you can clearly see the situation of the Little Women's Café below, which is in a good location, with two screens carefully installed by Duchamp on both sides of the opposite side, and if the police come to dismantle the screens in advance, these reporters can block it.

I hope all the best!

Duchamp looked inside, and there was nothing unusual except for a large tent in the center and a few wires.

He nervously looked at the points that had been recorded, as well as the preparations for how to escape if he was discovered, and the masked mask that had been prepared. This mask obscures most of the face, leaving only the eyes and mouth. I hope there is no way in this world where you can find a person by eyes alone.

In the square, a large radio has been set up, and the host is announcing the rules of the general election to the people in the square.

Kaslai is the largest constituency in the Republic of Calvard, with a total of 18 votes and 42 at the local level. There were 60 ballot papers for the whole republic. Only a party that receives more than one-third of the votes cast by the electorate will be granted the right to form an independent government, otherwise, even if it wins the election, it will have to form a government with the party with the second largest number of votes. It is precisely because of this political peculiarity of the Republic of Calvard that it is inevitable that government decision-making will sometimes seem to be delayed.

Early in the morning, the atmosphere in the square has begun to heat up, and the political parties, with their own voter cheerleaders, begin to create an atmosphere. Although each district has its own polling station, many voters still prefer to come here to cast their ballots just to get a feel for the atmosphere. Every voter who has cast a vote will have a special stamp on the back of his hand, and the paint of this mark is so special that it will take a week to fade.

Duchamp looked in the mirror and checked his own look. In order to hide his true appearance, he painted his skin much darker, and his lips were darker, and he looked like a typical Calvard southerner.

He turned around and continued to observe the situation in the square.

Suddenly, Duchamp saw in the square a figure that interested him, Samuel Locksmith of the Socialist Party, the first candidate to come to the square, and he shook hands with every voter who supported or did not support him, and some of the wavering voters may have changed their minds, because after all, they could boast to others later: "I shook hands with the president." ”

"What a dutiful job!" Duchamp thought.

Elections are a very physically demanding task, just look at the situation in the square. Locksmith seemed determined to win the support of every voter in the square, and when he shook hands with every voter, he said all kinds of sincere words that brought tears to the eyes of many elderly voters.

It wasn't long before his rivals arrived, and Republican Schleier Nokinson came to fight for the district, and when he arrived, he diverted a lot of people. The elector's sincere eyes, simple clothing, and powerful words won the love of the electorate.

Seeing this scene, Locksmith not only did not lose his temper, but put on his signature smile, compared with Nogginson's proximity to the people, and from time to time said something like "I am the same as Nogginson, and my attitude towards everyone's sincere service is 100 percent".

"He's not inferior to Nogginson." Many voters think so.

It is strictly forbidden to use binoculars and the like when looking at the square from the surrounding cafes or hotels, as it can cause confusion with guns, and the police will immediately come to the door to ask for trouble.

At this moment, on the rooftop of the hotel above Duchamp, there are two policemen hiding. This made Duchamp have to be glad that the antenna was done a few days ago.

Between the antenna on the roof and another clothespost, there hangs a slogan specially made by Duchamp: "May the election be a success, long live the republic." "No one in the hotel came to check where this slogan came from.

Right now, a policeman is standing next to the antenna, watching the situation in the square. Occasionally, the wind blew the slogan over, and he hurriedly turned the slogan again.

When noon came, Duchamp began to test whether the display was connected properly. In front of the camera, he put up a sign that had been written "I wish the election a success" written a long time ago, turned on the device, and then looked at the monitors that could be observed around him.

Duchamp wanted to say something to see how it worked, but he just wanted to open his mouth, when he suddenly remembered that the voice could be used as evidence to track down a person!
