Chapter 146: The Vision of the Universe
The riots in the Big Apple gradually worsened after about 8 p.m. on February 4.
What started as a normal rally and ordinary demonstration for unemployed workers has since spread into violent mass incidents of smashing and looting.
The security personnel of the entire Big Apple, and even several surrounding cities, were all dispatched, but they did not immediately enter the lower city, but guarded several entrances and exits between the upper and lower cities.
Mass incidents are no problem, anyway, free countries must have free people. They're all very energetic, they come here every once in a while, and it's really not a big deal.
But if the riots of mass events spread to the upper city, disturbing the lives of the middle class, and even interfering with the daily life of the upper class, then the problem is very serious.
The police officers felt that the first thing was to stabilize the defensive line, and only by ensuring that the upper city was safe could they consider entering the lower city to quell the riots.
Of course, before that, there will be many disasters and tragedies...... However, this is probably life as well.
But at this juncture, Mayor Tanaka, who had been behaving decently and even a little at a loss for more than two hours before, suddenly slapped the table and showed the most courageous performance since taking office. He directly ordered that the police force must immediately enter Xiacheng District to quickly quell the riots and save ordinary citizens who were in dire straits.
The police, of course, showed some ...... about this Confused. However, under the pressure of Mr. Mayor, who seemed to have changed person, he finally entered the lower town with trepidation.
It was almost 11 p.m. Then, for the next half hour, the police were not as dangerous as they had imagined. Many of the troublemakers seemed to be a little exhausted and a little confused.
They arrested some of the leaders, and the riot gradually ceased.
The "Imperial Eagle Dogs" in the mouth of Earl Black Moon, that is, the members of the Blue Guard, who are eating a public meal, have finally entered the urban area of the Big Apple. They were of course very fast, and after receiving the mayor's request for reinforcements, they arrived at the scene within twenty minutes.
By this time, the earth-shattering hustle and bustle and riots in the lower city were nearing their end.
The city's 30 million citizens were destined for a sleepless night, but at least the riots that made everyone shiver and hide in their homes did not dare to go out.
In the alley at night, the officer in a black military coat carried an iron skewer and flicked the head of the Lumina man who was only half-pulled on the ground, shook his head and got up, and said helplessly to the person next to him: "We are a step too late, his brain is too damaged, and it is difficult to extract memory information." ”
"Can you identify this person?"
"It's confirmed, it's Suna Desu, one of the leaders of the Lumina Divine Army!"
Although this group has the name of "Army of God", it is actually only a rebel group of the Lumina separatist movement. It's one of the largest organizations, but it's just one of them.
As for this lumina, only half of his head remains, but as the head of the anti-thieves, his facial information has long been entered into the community's military database. As long as you compare the parameters with the information terminal, you can naturally find out the identity immediately.
"I remember, the Lumina army has been annihilated?"
"Yes, General. Two weeks earlier, their main force had been annihilated by the Outer Ring Fleet. All the high-level officials were caught in the net, and only this person was caught. ”
The person known as the "general" is a middle-aged man with a cold face and a gloomy temperament, and wears a general star on his epaulettes. The aura of the whole person was quite in harmony with his black internal guard uniform, and he almost wrote the word "secret police chief" on the top of his head. But in fact, although he was born as a military policeman, he is now engaged in a rather glorious profession.
His name is Francis Morey, Brigadier General of the Internal Guard, and it is none other than the Transcendent Force that has just been formed by the Blue Star Community, the Deputy Commander of the Blue Guard.
According to Mayor Tanaka, he suspected that the riots in the Big Apple were manipulated by supernatural forces, so he directly appealed to the National Defense Commission for help.
Since psionic crimes were involved, it was logical for him, who had been a gendarmerie and a prosecutor of the Ministry of Military Justice, to go out in person.
Mayor Tanaka's guess was correct, there were indeed remnants of spirituality in the entire city...... Someone did try to build a massive psionic array in the Big Apple. If we hadn't arrived in time and the other party had fled, the consequences would have been really unimaginable. "The lieutenant colonel who had examined the head before said to Morey.
"Arrived in time? Run away? Brigadier General Morey glanced at the other party with a gloomy gaze and said coldly, "Couldn't someone stop them before we arrived?" Otherwise, what's going on with this dead luminian. ”
The lieutenant colonel was speechless, nodded with a convincing expression, but he was slandering in his heart: Anyway, there is no evidence for everything, in the final analysis, it is all nonsense, you are the leader, naturally you have the final say.
"Start tracing the source of the psionic array, at least find out where their casting core is!" Brigadier General Morey commanded.
Psyker registration bills like the Empire and the Alliance must be passed quickly! If there is no close monitoring of the supernatural powers, such things will happen sooner or later!
He pondered like this, looked at the half-pulled head of the lumina, and then at its headless corpse, and suddenly with a "huh", he walked over quickly, crouched down, and reached out to dip a little of the liquid that flowed from the other person's corpse.
Because the blood of the Luminals is close to transparent, it is difficult to determine whether it is blood or bodily fluids.
Brigadier General Morey stretched out his hand to rub the liquid on his hands, frowned and thought for nearly half a minute, then put it in his mouth and licked it, and the lieutenant colonel beside him suddenly showed a disgusted expression.
But the general didn't realize it, and even smacked his mouth, as if he was tasting some kind of food, and after another half a minute, he said categorically: "Check which cargo ships that have transported high-energy fuel in the past week have docked in the Big Apple." ”
Not to mention how the big shots of the Blue Guards will stage a multi-million-word criminal investigation drama that really saved the remnants of the Big Apple crisis, they are in a tavern more than ten kilometers away from the scene of the incident, ready to drink the wine of victory with their friends who are fighting side by side.
The place where they are located is one of the strongholds of the Nine Ghosts in the Big Apple, and on the surface it looks like a very stylish tavern. Of course, the area is not small, and there are three floors, but the interior decoration is unpretentious and understated, and at first glance it is an ordinary place for mass consumption, which can be found throughout the lower town.
It was indeed more tasteful and low-key than the Norman Vikings' club, which had been burned to the ground.
The rest of the Kuki-gu filled up the rest of the place, celebrating with a big bowl of wine and meat, but they still remembered to leave the innermost and quietest booth in the bar for Yuren and Akinayama Hachiman.
As for the Earl of the Black Moon, after the incident was over, it was completely offline, and it was hidden.
"The bishop named Connors has only received orders from the higher levels of the Order to build a spiritual array in the Big Apple, with the aim of completely getting this commotion out of control. As for the specific reason, he himself is not very clear. "What Qiu Mingshan said to Yu Lian now is naturally the message left by Earl Black Moon before going offline.
"As for the Luminals, it is said that the Panocis have been in contact with these separatists, exchanging information and resources. The Lumina rebels have always had deep malice towards the earthlings, and it is only natural that they would participate in this kind of operation. ”
That's all Bishop Connors knows. Since he has lost his usefulness, of course, there is no point in continuing to waste air.
His body is now being dumped in a trash can in the lower city, surrounded by audio evidence of his own, and it is estimated that the police will find it in a few minutes.
"Holelli doesn't seem to be aware of the Cult's plot in the Big Apple. The Normans are just pawns in the end. As for why they colluded to seek our business, I don't know too well......"
Yu Lian is not surprised at all. If a cult can sincerely cooperate, can it still be a cult?
He suddenly thought of something, and couldn't help but glance around the bar, and found that there was no sixth uncle.
Yu Lian sighed twice in his heart and didn't ask more, and Akinayama Hachiman also had an innocent expression that I didn't know anything about, and continued: "In any case, we have left enough evidence at the scene. The central government, no matter how stupid it is, should know how to do it. ”
This is indeed good news. However, even if the Community government declares the Cult of All Souls illegal decades in advance, it does not mean that all is well.
How to deal with it? How to punish? How will the punishment plan be implemented? And what about the big people who are said to have a good relationship with All Souls? All of the above still have to be torn.
I hope Wang Jingyang can give a little bit of strength this time. After all, this involves a crime of extraordinary strength, and it can be regarded as the purview of the Blue Star Guard. If there is a chance, Yu Lian doesn't mind providing him with a little help within his ability...... It's just that the Ten Thousand Souls Sect has cooled down too early, and he really doesn't know much about this organization.
All in all, the commotion that caused more than 300 casualties and untold economic losses and spread throughout the Lower Big Apple was over.
At least in the official and later historical records.
Such a big commotion, but only "such a little" casualty figures, and after all, the unrest did not spread to the upper city, and the middle class and high society were not affected in any way.
As a result, Mayor Klein Tanaka was even commended for his quick decision.
As for what caused this incident, it seems that everyone has forgotten about it.
However, again, no matter how big things happen in history, life still has to go on.
"Speaking of which, Count Black Moon, are you still ready to continue cooperating with him in the counterfeit medicine business?"
"It's not a fake drug, it's an affordable medicine for the well-being of the poor people in the universe!" Akinayama Hachiman pushed his glasses and quickly retorted, but then sighed, "I really hope to work with him." The friendship of the Earl of the Black Moon alone is priceless. It's just that his conditions are really ......"
Yu Lian also sighed: "So, I really think you should change your thinking." This is another immature suggestion to you. ”
Akinayama Hachiman was silent for a few seconds, pushed his glasses, and said sincerely, "I'll listen to you." ”
"Have you ever played Go? The concept of golden-horned silver-edged grass belly, I don't need to repeat it, right? Brother Hachiman, you grew up on Earth, in the heart of the most prosperous part of the community, and the more you do this, the easier it is to limit your horizons. You have to step out of this little blue planet and think about it from a cosmic perspective. ”
