Chapter 64: The Return
The next day, it rained continuously.
Wild pigeons flapped their wings and cooed, and landed on a balcony.
San Francisco's newspaper La Presse devoted a full page to the accident of the previous day. The black-and-white photograph, which occupies a quarter of the newspaper's page, shows Chang Yu's face bathed in flames. The headline is appallingly written: "Riot! Midnight revenge of the steam demon. β
The husband, who had bandages on his neck and arms, put down the newspaper and put on his coat to go out.
"Remember to bring an umbrella, Drake."
Wife reminded in the kitchen.
"Got it."
The husband replied sullenly, his name was Drake, he was the inspector of the San Francisco Police Department, and he was injured in the steam demon accident the other day.
"Dad, are you going to work?"
The six-year-old daughter wore a pink lace dress.
"Yes, my sweetheart."
The husband's gloomy face faded a little.
"Are you going to catch the bad guys?"
The daughter spread out the newspaper, and Chang Yu's terrifying face jumped on the paper.
ββ¦β¦β
After a moment of silence, the husband squatted down and rubbed his cheek against his daughter's forehead.
"Child, there are people who can't be distinguished from bad by simple goodness, these things are too complicated for you, and I wish you would never understand them for the rest of your life. Dad assures you that I am willing to give my life for the sake of the stability and safety of the city. Even if I had to do it all over again, I would make the exact same choice and never regret it. β
10 Georgia Street, San Francisco News, Newspaper Office
"I've already read the follow-up report on the steam demon, and I need to revise it."
The editor-in-chief lifted his glasses.
"I don't understand, you've typed my manuscript back five times."
The young journalist couldn't help but retort.
The editor-in-chief picked up its manuscript and read: "To sum up, we can see that. The accident of the Steam Demon is nothing more than the retribution suffered by the racists after their hands were covered with blood. The more magical reality is that a brutal and savage massacre against certain races is quietly taking place on our land. San Francisco's proud democratic spirit is crying! β
He poked at the manuscript, "Look what the hell you've written." β
"Sir, maybe you think ......"
"Don't think I don't know!" The editor-in-chief shouted and reprimanded: "You were stunned by that French woman!" The French don't have a good thing. This is a blatant slander against San Francisco. β
The editor-in-chief was still angry, and raised the reporter's manuscript high: "These few painless words can bring you great trouble!" That madman who doesn't want to kill a few people, create a few explosions and chaos, and change what? I'm telling you, he can't change anything. β
The reporter who was scolded by the editor-in-chief walked out of the newspaper office.
The streets were filled with newspapers about the "steam demon," and people talked about him, a Chinese man with a mask, a huge brass gauntlet, and a hoarse voice, who became a household name overnight. Some businesses even smelled a business opportunity and began to publish a Japanese theater performance about the "Night of Revenge of the Steam Demon".
Dorothy stood quietly in front of the newspaper office, staring at the heavy rain on the street.
"I'm sorry, Miss Dorothy, but I've done my best."
The reporter bowed his head in shame.
Dorothy smiled gently, "It's nothing, Hans, you've done what you had to do. At the very least, I repaid him for taking care of me. β
"What did you say?"
Hans asked.
"I mean, who knows what's going to happen."
The proposal for the redevelopment of Chinatown was shelved, and the city hall acquiesced in the fact that the Chinese themselves had rebuilt their houses on the rubble and ashes, and after such a painful experience, the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce was determined to establish a hospital in Xinhuatown to silence the health bureau. But there are still many Chinese sleeping on the streets.
The raindrops fell into the sinkhole, reflecting the face of an unkempt child, and the cold rain fell one after another, but he crouched in the rain like a big black mouse, showing his belly.
The child pouted and looked up at the rain, his face expressionless.
In the cesspool, there is an eerie viscous mist and a figure in a black cloak dancing wildly.

"Yan Fu walk, please note that the Book of Creation and the Words of the Great Sage have been detected as low-intensity dangerous goods by Houtu, and it is recommended that you directly hand over the Yan Fu incident."
"Settlement."
In the Book of Creation, there should be a lot of peak technology about the Lalaye era, but on the one hand, Li Yan himself had no intention of spending too much energy on these things, and he had no effect after reading them for a few days, and Chang Yu tinkered with such a thing as "Ascender" in just one night, which shows that he has no talent, not to mention the entanglement of ultra-ancient ghosts.
More importantly, Li Yan instinctively sensed that if he coveted the technology of the Book of Creation, he would cause even more trouble for himself in the future.
Once bitten by a snake and afraid of grass ropes for ten years, Li Yan didn't want a second Zhang Yichu to calculate himself.
"Your evaluation for completing this Yanfu incident is: Daji (Climb to the top!) οΌβ
"Settlement begins!"
The endless black deep sea, the strange deep ravines, the vast industrial equipment, the chimneys, the train tracks that dot the sea and land, and ......

Western Han Dynasty products can be used to observe celestial bodies, but the accuracy is worrying.
Aside from its archaeological value, this thing is obviously a useless waste, but at this time, the superiority of the personal ninja is once again revealed.
"My lord, I have screened the listing information of the auction house for you, and someone bought the astronomical instruments before the Eastern Han Dynasty at a high price of two thousand points. If there is no other use, you can try to contact the buyer with the following information......
Of course, Li Yan was not interested in astronomy, so he quickly confirmed the receipt with the buyer and directly received a remittance of two thousand Yan floating points.
Here's what you've learned from this Yanfu incident.
