Chapter 394: Inexplicable Disaster

The law of the world is a regional city, New Kyoto.

As one of the top 10 metropolis-level cities in the world, there is never a shortage of people here. And under the impetus of some successive events, countless people who are looking for safety, seeking information, or simply want to stay with more people have converged here through convenient transportation.

In just a few hours, the city, built to cope with the needs of hundreds of millions of people, has reached the point of overcrowding.

In the beginning, people didn't have a clear goal in mind, so most of them stayed for a long time as long as there was a place where they could see news images. However, from the moment Aki Yu's declaration of war was issued, it seemed that something that had been hidden for a long time was suddenly ignited.

Countless crowds, which had been calm for a long time, desperately squeezed into the city center. Ten people, hundreds of people doing this may also be explained as individual behavior, but 100,000 people, millions of people, all aiming at the city center at the same time, is doomed to the beginning of chaos.

The mayor of New Kyoto is just over forty years old, and it can be said that he is in the prime of his political career. To become the mayor of a world-class metropolis at this age that has made many national heads of state blush, although he has strong fortune and rare opportunities, he can defeat many internal opponents and hold the mayor's throne, and his personal ability is also undoubted.

When the news from all sides rushed to report on the damage to the thinking array, he immediately made a soothing speech to the residents of New Kyoto through various media. Instead of foolishly denying the possible spread and harm of the thought array damage event like other government members, he live-streamed the brief process of setting up the emergency response team, and mobilized various government departments to conduct safety checks on urban residents in the real world and the law world at the same time, and immediately carry out emergency rescue once a person with a thought array damage is found. The whole process is also broadcast live.

By the time of Akiha's speech, more than half of the efficient investigation in New Kyoto had been carried out, and a total of 273 people with damaged thinking arrays, 5 people suspected of having damaged thinking arrays, 7 people with sick shock, and 26 people were in a coma of hunger. In addition, because of the new Kyoto's unique cross-management model of reality and law world, it is the first local organization in the world to determine where the damage to the thinking array occurred.

A catastrophic event, in its reasonable response, not only did not cause large-scale mass panic and order spiraled out of control, but greatly enhanced the image of the government of New Kyoto. It is conceivable that after the end of this incident, the housing prices and talent introduction restrictions in New Kyoto will jump to a high level.

However, in his rejoicing, the wise mayor did not forget that the source of the damage to the array of minds, to be precise, the gate to the source, was in his own city. With his keen political sense and hearing about some secrets in the world of law, he threw this hot potato to the top of the government at the first time.

Not surprisingly, at the end of his report, he was ordered to seal the empty gate to the isolated island.

In the words of those above, the government's forces are being assembled, and the vanguard has even entered New Kyoto. His task was simply to look at the door for the time being before the troops arrived.

These things may not be a drop in the bucket compared to the complete incident, but the mayor knows very well that this is already some people above who are optimistic about themselves, afraid that they will make mistakes that will ruin their political future, so they have made some hints on the side.

What does it mean that the large forces were gathering before they reported themselves? It shows that the heads of government have long since discovered the problems there before themselves. However, since he found out, he didn't inform himself, as the new mayor of Kyoto, what does this mean? They couldn't think of a second explanation for the answer other than they didn't want to let themselves know. If he hadn't happened to find out everything, maybe he would have been kept in the dark until the army occupied the empty gate.

Looking back, perhaps the problem should have been discovered a long time ago. Generally speaking, when something major happens, it can be as short as a few minutes or as long as a few hours, and the instructions, circulars, and spiritual guidance within the government have long been flying all over the sky. The appearance of hundreds of thousands of victims in this incident at once is definitely not a trivial matter, but until a few hours after the incident, no information was revealed from the leaders.

From this, it can even be deduced that the heads of government knew everything from the very beginning of the incident of the damage to the mental array. No, it may have been known before the event. If it weren't for the fact that he was still in the process of mobilizing the army, he would have to suspect that the matter was made by those leaders at all.

I don't want the local government to know, which means that this is a top-secret incident that cannot be made public.

I knew about it from the very beginning, however, a few hours have passed, and the army is still being mobilized! You know, this is the world of laws, and there is no need to delay time at all to rush through the empty gate. It took a few hours, and it was still in progress, if it wasn't for the unimaginable size of the army that needed to be mobilized, it was ...... The act of mobilizing armies is not just in the world of laws. When he thought of this, the mayor, who thought he was used to seeing wind and waves, couldn't help but feel a huge shock in his heart.

In addition to these, there is another point of doubt that the mayor simply can't figure out. If this crossing gate is really so important, it is enough to get tens of thousands of people to come and guard it first, why do you have to gather the army to a large size before planning to act? The so-called vanguard has entered New Kyoto, and the statement that it can be called a troop is definitely not a small number, so where is this vanguard now? Is it hiding among civilians? What does it mean not to use them, but to guard the gate with the power of your own new Kyoto?

After receiving the order to close the door, the mayor immediately sent the city defense army out. But after thinking about some things, I faintly regretted it.

What the government is doing now is almost like hiding from others, not even making the slightest move to reveal its intentions until it is sure that it has gathered enough strength. What can make the government so fearful, there is only the creator company in the world, and the Star Knights, who are only active in the law world, can barely be counted.

But this is contradictory, in any department of the government, take out a machine gun and sweep it around, and among the people killed are definitely the Creator Company and the Knights of the Starry Sky. Therefore, since a large-scale mobilization of troops is already underway, everything that should be leaked has long been leaked.

You don't even need to start with the mobilization of the army, even the government can know what happened on that isolated island, and there is no reason not to know about the creator company of spies and the Star Knights everywhere. However, this is New Kyoto, a territory that they have painstakingly managed for two years, and if they had made a large-scale move, they should have discovered it a long time ago.

This is where the incident began, the government for the sake of profit did not intervene immediately, and the Knights of the Stars, who turned a blind eye to the creation of the order, and helped everyone as a gimmick. If this is normal, I am afraid that there is no abnormal thing in the world.

Now, in the center of everything that is abnormal, he has become the first person to attack the empty door, what kind of terrible results will this move cause?

"Mayor, the police said that a large number of people are crowding into the city center, and they can no longer maintain law and order, and they want to borrow some manpower from the city defense army."

Because he thought too deeply, he didn't even hear the knock on the door when the secretary came in, but a few key words in the secretary's words immediately shocked the mayor back to reality.

"What do you say? A large number of citizens? Are you sure who are our citizens? ”

The mayor's series of questions made the beautiful secretary, whose appearance score was much higher than the wisdom score, stunned for a moment, and then retreated in a panic under the mayor's murderous and ferocious gaze, "I...... I'll go ask somebody. ”

When the secretary ran out, he ran into a person who was also running here with a panicked face, and the latter subconsciously helped the secretary, and then immediately realized that now was not the time to talk about demeanor, and turned his head past the secretary and shouted to the mayor, "Quick, watch TV." ”

At this moment, all mankind can see is a long face, and only one voice can be heard. Because he missed the beginning, he was afraid that his mayor would not know what was going on, so the comer hurried in a voice that formed a strong contrast with Qiu Yu's calm tone, "The Star Knights have declared war on the creator company, and it is a real war ......"

The market has lost hearing what else has been said in the back, and the beginning alone has brought his brain to a standstill. When he came to his senses, the room was already full of people, half watching TV, half watching himself.

"Immediately seal off all the gates leading to here, and anyone who comes to New Kyoto will have to apply to me first. The city defense army was all assembled on standby, and the wartime mechanism was activated, and residents with the rank of non-commissioned officer and above were forcibly conscripted. Real-world ......"

There was no need to hear every word of Qiu Yu, just the Star Knights declared war on the creator company made the mayor connect all his doubts. No one had taken the initiative to occupy the Gate because the government was trying to protect itself before intervening, and neither the Creator Corporation nor the Star Knights were willing to put their power on the surface as a target.

Although this conjecture does not correspond to the facts, it cannot be said to be wrong. Every order given by the mayor of the new Kyoto is the right decision in any case, however, the passage of time will make everything right meaningless.

The response to the order made the mayor's heart sink to the bottom.

"The blockade can't be stopped, and all the cross-border gates are occupied by unknown forces."

"The city defense barracks have been attacked, and they are still desperately asking for help."

"Just now, according to your instructions, part of the city defense troops sent to the city center were wiped out halfway through."

"The situation in the real world is also very grim right now, because many citizens have been suddenly affected by the fighting, and now hundreds of thousands of citizens who have been forcibly disconnected because they died in the law world are protesting outside the government building."

"That's enough." The mayor ended all the bad news with a shout, "Isn't there a piece of good news? And what about our army? What was the reaction from the coalition government? ”

"Our pleas for help have not been answered." The person who spoke, the Adam's apple squirmed with difficulty, "It's not that the signal is blocked, it's that they received our request for help, but they just don't respond." All of the people we sent in the real world have gone and never returned. ”

Except for Qiu Yu's words flowing like water on the screen, there was no sound here.

Everyone knows that New Kyoto is over, on all levels, and it is inexplicably finished.

Today, not only did the electricity go out for three hours, but I also lost part of the novel, and I admired that I could write it again.
