The sun shines in Los Angeles around seven a.m. in the window lattice, and the slowly rotating gramophone plays beautiful and soft music.

Xia Yi stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and smoked a cigarette, then extinguished it in the ashtray.

Behind, Zhou Jin took the suit from the hanger, walked over, and put it on him: "Boss, it's almost time, Magnet and they are already waiting outside." ”

I took one last look at the early morning scene of the city, and the angular face was reflected in the glass, revealing coldness, and then turned around, put my arm through the cuff, and whispered to the woman beside me.

"Let's go. ”

He took out a glove from his trouser pocket and put it on his right hand, opened the door and walked out.

Outside aisle.

More than a dozen people, including Magneto and Electric Python, who had been waiting for a long time, stood on both sides and shouted in unison: "Boss!"

"Go to the venue!"

Walking out of the door, there was no movement, Xia Yi strode past the middle, Zhou Jin followed, and in a moment, a group of subordinates such as Magneto, Electric Python, Lin Wensheng, Dog Girl, Fat Man, Alcoholic ....., etc., followed one after another, taking two elevators downstairs together.

A large group of people then stepped out of the elevator and appeared in the lobby on the first floor, all with yellow-skinned, oriental faces, attracting a lot of eyes and whispers.

"Are these Chinese people? so many .....?"

"It's like I'm going to the World Ring Championship. ”

"May God bless America and let these Asians leave our land quickly. ”

In the sound of stumbling conversations, the crowd over there, the footsteps had spread out of the hall on the first floor, and the four cars waiting outside were seated and drove towards the competition venue.

The morning sun was shining brightly with warmth.

The city is full of high-rise buildings, reflecting dazzling lights in the early morning sun, and the temporary rebuilt hall of the football stadium in the east of the city, with colorful hot air balloons dragging blessings has been floating in the air.

As if it were a festival, costumed groups paraded through the streets in cars, while clowns and girls in short skirts performed juggling and dancing in the plaza outside the hall to attract the attention of passing tourists.

A little farther away from the entrance of the hall, the crowd was already lined up to enter, and on the other side of the venue, hundreds of players walked in one after another, and some people suddenly heard the dense footsteps and turned their heads to look.

Xia Yi was surrounded and walked towards this side, and a staff member hurriedly asked the ordinary players to lean to the side, all of them were martial arts practitioners or some special abilities, and they were also arrogant, which naturally caused some of them to be unhappy.

"Don't be impulsive, who that person is, you know?"

"Who?"

"Crow, the leader of the South Korean team was killed by him at sea before he even participated......

When some impulsive people heard this, they retracted their steps, and looked at Xia Yi's back in the aisle in front of them, and their clenched fists finally let go.

Here, Zhou Jin threw a special magnetic card to the access control, and followed the boss in.

Walking through the arc-shaped passage, the Anchorton security guards guarding along the way came up, whispered something to the miniature microphone on the side of his mouth, and greeted Xia Yi and the others who came over, and made a 'please' gesture to the elevator on the side, and someone had already pressed the elevator away.

It didn't take long for the group to go up to the high stand of the converted hall of the football stadium, and the elevator doors slowly opened, allowing a direct view of the entire football stadium and the spectator seats in three directions.

After walking out of the elevator door, Xia Yi's subordinates consciously walked around the stands, and stood alone every few steps, wearing a uniform black suit and sunglasses, giving people an atmosphere that could be compared to Anchora.

In front of the stands, there was only a long sofa, and Xia Yi sat directly on it, and only Zhou Jin sat down with him.

Behind him, the Magneto, the electric python, the mad rat, the drunkard, the high temperature, and the chameleon ..... lined up, with their hands behind them, and the atmosphere suddenly showed a sense of majesty.

"Dezhu has already gone down, right?"

This place is higher than the audience, Xia also swept around the dense crowd below, and did not find the fat man who carried Sissi to the crowd to feel the atmosphere of the game.

"There are so many people here, it's not easy to find, but he should be at the front of the game. Zhou Jin took out a cigarette and handed it to the boss's mouth, then lit it, "By the way, boss, I heard that this game is broadcast live around the world, do you think my family will be able to see it?"

"You haven't been home in years, have you?"

"Well, but I don't want to go back either....." Zhou Jin put down the lighter, and his beautiful eyes smiled: "...... participate in this competition, just to tell them that I am still alive and have a good life." ”

Xia Yi patted the back of her hand and didn't speak.

On the field in front of them, thirty small rings had been set up at this time, and the huge eight-sided display screen in the middle had entered the commissioning stage, showing some competitive advertisements, as well as advertisements for the Anchorton Company, and some display pictures of military weapons.

As time went on, more and more spectators entered the venue, and the noise of people masked the hum of several small drones in the air, which were broadcast live from the whole territory, in addition to the photographers near the venue below.

In the commentary room of the stadium, the supervisor who presided over the live broadcast continued, and after watching the indicators in place on the equipment light up, he picked up the communicator and spoke.

"At the beginning of the opening ceremony, all the live cameras were connected to the outside world. ”

Orders go down layer by layer.

Above the originally noisy and lively surrounding seats, emotional music suddenly sounded, and the sound of people talking suddenly stopped.

Countless eyes cast on the center of the field.

In the middle of the small rings that separated the two sides, someone stood on a podium with a torch and loudly proclaimed the spirit of the game, then turned and jumped to the ground and threw the torch into a sacrificial statue.

Huge flames burst forth.

In the audience, countless Chinese people, as well as foreign tourists, stood up and let out a thunderous applause, and in a moment, someone whistled, and two cheerleaders in tight and short skirts directly entered the stadium and danced around the flames.

In the sky, drones equipped with camera functions pass from above, and the footage of the ingestion is converted into data, which is transmitted along the pipeline through the air to space beyond the distant clouds, and then transmitted from the satellite to the rest of the world.

Orient.

In the middle of the night, in the island country with waves hitting the reef, Keiko Sakai sat at home, pulling her son Satoru, excitedly watching the picture broadcast on TV, looking for someone.

In an izakaya on a street in Tokyo, Hiroichi Sanada, who was a little drunk, pinched the wine bottle and stared blankly at the TV screen in the hall, for a moment, sighed regretfully, and at the same time, he was also glad to be inside.

Invisible data crosses the ocean.

The time has reached nine o'clock in the evening in Huaguo, at this time it is the time period for the family to get together to watch TV, the old man who once had a lot of wealth, sitting alone in front of the TV, saw the switching picture, the figure of the female disciple, the eyes briefly showed a look.

Sometimes I think about it, except for the careful teaching at the beginning, I rarely give her any more guidance later, what kind of master am I ......

In Jiaohe City, Chen Sha wiped his friend's spiritual position, put it in the shrine, lit a stick of incense, sat back on the sofa, and watched the images from the TV.

Dongfang Xuyuan was in Chengyin City, and was giving new task instructions to the team members, occasionally glancing at the picture playing on his mobile phone, he was quiet for a while, his face with a scar, showing a little smile, and then continued to discuss work.

The couple who used to be domestic violence, because they were not on duty, hugged the sofa early, and when they saw a familiar face appear, the man straightened his neck from the woman's arms: "It's your concubine-"

Then, it attracted the mother-in-law to slap her in the face.

Tongshan Town, Xia Yi's hometown, Xia Lin brought a basin of hot water and put it at the feet of her parents who were tired all day, wiped the sweat on her face, and ran to turn on the old TV.

"Your daughter said that your brother will be on TV, there are so many people here, which one is him. ”

"Brother won't lie to us, he said he would go to this competition....."

Charlene crouched in front of the TV, staring intently at the black-and-white screen, looking at the constantly changing shots and translated commentary inside, she suddenly screamed, pointing her finger at a certain part of the screen.

"It's brother..... it's brother, he's really on TV, my God, it's still a special stand. ”

"You stupid woman!"

Xia Jianxun was so excited that he almost stepped on the footbasin, "Take your hand away, block me and your mother!"

The picture flashed by.

Under the dark night sky, there are also people who can't watch the live broadcast at this moment, and they are flying across the ocean to the city thousands of miles away.

The lights of the flight twinkled in the night sky.

Looking at the passengers who gradually fell asleep, Jiang Yu lowered the curtain, sat back on the seat, fastened the seat belt, she looked at the night clouds floating outside the cabin window, and closed her eyes.

"Come on, Brother Yi. ”

With a buzzing airliner, it passed through the clouds and in the direction of gradually brightening until the sky was bright and bright.

Under the white clouds.

The huge football stadium erupted into huge cheers, and the sound of the game was heard in the loudspeaker, resounding through the hall.

"The first round begins—"
