Chapter 197 Changemakers in the Night
In this party, the person with the most female partners is probably Gu Wu......
However, the lively and active Louise did not stay where she was, but took Tina's hand and explored the luxurious, lively party hall, looking for delicious food and things of interest.
Similar to the two of them, AltaΓ―r also accompanied Shimazaki to move, and Gu Wu thought that it was a way to check the scene, which was to confirm safety.
But since Tina, Louise, Altair, and Shimazaki were all 'people who attended the party with Gu Wu', they were also accosted when Gu Wu entertained other guests.
Gu Wu, who didn't have time to observe for the time being, focused his attention until now, and beside him were two smiling girls - Xia Zhiqiu and Ying Lili.
"It seems that Mr. Gu Wu is very popular."
Mayor Sword stood in front of Gu Wu, holding a glass of red wine in his hand, he took a sip after speaking, and then greeted the two girls.
"Miss Kasumigaoka and Miss Sawamura, thank you very much for being able to participate in the next party."
"Hope it didn't bother you."
"How is it possible, even if it is not a friend of Mr. Gu Wu, I will treat it seriously, so please enjoy tonight."
Kasumigaoka responded politely, and Sword replied with a smile.
"Will there be a singer who will sing on stage?"
At this moment, Ying Lili looked curious, she probably thought of the scene in the movie.
For example, beautiful singers perform on stage, accompanied by soft music, to create an atmosphere suitable for dancing.
"Well...... If Ms. Sawamura needs it, we can arrange it immediately; In fact, there was a similar plan originally, but the invited singer seemed to have disappeared before departure, so he didn't let other singers serve as substitutes. β
Missing?
Gu Wu, who was very sensitive to these two words, drank all the wine in the cup, and then pinched Ying Lili's cheek while putting the empty cup down.
After removing the girl who wanted to continue asking Sword if he had any acrobatics, he raised his doubts.
"You said you were missing, did you send someone to investigate?"
"That singer does not belong to the citizens of the city, but I also have a certain degree of financial support here, and the rest is only to entrust the local garrison."
In the face of Gu Wu's question, Sword lowered his voice and accosted him curiously
"Mr. Gu Wu, could it be that Miss Singer's disappearance is also related to recent events?"
"It is not possible to determine ......"
"I see, then I won't continue to ask about it, I hope these troubles can disappear quickly."
With that, Sword left the scene with his wife to greet the others.
As soon as he saw that the 'position to talk to Gu Wu' was vacant, a new participant stepped forward to talk to Gu Wu.
This time it's an interracial one.
He was over two meters tall, with short hedgehog hair and a slight beard, and his red pupils that seemed to burn with flames.
The alien was a half-orc representative, and could see the sharp horns on his head.
"Good evening, Your Excellency Gu Wu."
"Hello."
"I'm Sigrini, and I'm here as a representative of the orcs, if I can, can I consult with you about the planning of the Special Zone?"
Because this world has an alien setting, so at the moment when it was accepted by everyone, Ying Lili kept staring at each other's long horns.
Probably noticing the sight of the humans, the half-orc Sigrini, who bowed his head and bent down, greeted Yingli Riri
"Do you have any questions for me, young lady?"
Sigrini was tall and strong, coupled with a slightly muffled voice, so Ying Lili hid behind Gu Wu's back.
That being said, the young pear pear, who recovered quickly, regrouped.
"Mr. Sigrini, is your horn real?"
"The first time I heard this question, I can tell if it's true or not, and I can tell if it's true or not."
With that, Sigrini was half-kneeling so that he could be touched by his horns.
But just as Ying Lili stretched out her hand, someone burst in from the side and stopped her movement.
"That's a very rude thing to do, Ying Lili-san."
"Kasumigaoka senior...... Everyone else agreed. β
"Would you rather have someone touch your ears or collarbones? I think their horns are also important to themselves. β
"Also, too...... I understand. β
Hearing the conversation, Sigrini stood up.
He may be rough on the outside, but on the inside he doesn't seem to be like that.
"Actually, both young ladies are right...... Our horns are important, but they are not only used in battle, but also occasionally used to make vows when working together, haha, so please don't worry too much about it. β
Gu Wu saw that Xia Zhiqiu and Ying Li Li had retreated slightly, so he got back to business.
"I don't have the final say on the planning of the special zone, I believe you also know that the special zone is surrounded by other cities, not only that, but also have to consider the area management and resource allocation after the expansion of the special zone."
"We have all envisioned this, if the area of the special zone increases, we will open more planting factories here; I'm sure you saw the street trees and the vegetation in the courtyard when you came here? Most of that is contracted and responsible for by us. β
"It's working very well."
"Thanks to the compliments, we have been preparing for the expansion of the Special Economic Zone, and the most important financial parties are of course very sufficient."
The role of the Interracial Special Zones is to ensure that they can 'live in a place where they are not discriminated against', but at the same time they are treated as a 'place of possible danger'.
Therefore, once you want to expand the area, you have to face the approval and opposition of many parties.
"Your ideas should be presented at the meeting when the time comes, and the person in charge of the matter will also consider them; As for me, it would be nice to expand the SAR to create a win-win situation without any repercussions. β
"Understood, thank you very much Mr. Gu Wu for your approval."
Sigrini then departed.
"Mr. Gu Wu looks good, he looks very handsome when he works hard."
"It's many times more reliable than I imagined, and sure enough, Mr. Gu Wu not only likes to play games at home, but is a trustworthy person!"
Kasumigaoka and Eiri pear both complimented.
But after saying that, they all walked to the location of Loise and Tina.
"We'll come back when we're done."
Kasumigaoka gives a reason.
Most of them are bored.
As the two girls left, the female participants and some male participants gathered in front of Gu Wu again.
"Good evening, everyone."
With a quantitative smile, Gu Wu started another round of socializing.
β¦β¦
On the north side of the party hall, Gu Wu, who had entered the outer corridor, put his hands on the railing and let out a soft sigh.
As the manager of this world, Gu Wu naturally became the focus of the party, so he also had to entertain those who talked to him.
After continuous negotiation activities, Gu Wu, who did not get any important information because of this, ran into this corridor.
The door was felt opened, and the light poured into the hallway, and a figure came into view.
"It's been a long time, Mr. Gu Wu."
The girl with light red hair and a long skirt of the same color, and high heels on her feet saluted Gu Wu.
"Miss Harriet......"
"It's me."
At the doorway to the hallway, Fanny, who had been following her as a guard, was guarding there.
Harriet, the one who had a conflict with the meows, but it was also because of what she did later that she cooperated with Gu Wu to solve the problem together.
"Today's Mr. Gu Wu is very conspicuous, and they all want to get a 'hint of cooperation' from you, so as to prove their worth."
"Do you see my opinion as a bargaining chip in future negotiations? Obviously, it was they who made the final decision. β
Gu Wu can indeed give orders, but whether or not to carry them out is still up to me.
"That's a normal thing...... The reason is naturally because of Mr. Gu Wu's identity! Your approval is also a sign that you can cooperate. β
Again, people here take their opinions too seriously.
Don't say this, Gu Wu straightened up, and he asked the girl beside him.
"Harriet, have you received any reports of disappearances lately?"
"...... disappearance? I remember that about three days ago, there was a report that the passengers and driver of a night bus were missing, and many people suspected that the criminals in that area were responsible, so that the investigation is still ongoing. β
At this, Harriet couldn't help but look tired
"After those people disappeared, their families ran to the gate of the town hall to question them, after all, for some people, the missing person is the head of the family, the source of income, and if the pillar falls, the consequences are unimaginable."
Not only did I lose my family, but I am afraid that my future life will gradually be lost.
Anxiety about the future, fear of missing people, eventually led them to turn to the government for answers.
"I made arrangements for this after reassuring them, and at the same time provided some financial support; To be honest, I understand their thoughts, but I'm also in a passive situation. β
"There are other disappearances not only in your city, but around the world, and it is necessary to integrate intelligence."
"All over the world? Is it the same for Mr. Gu Wu? β
"There are also people missing, but in other places."
Harriet, who was beginning to understand the gravity, fell into deep thought, then looked up at the night sky outside
"Is it related to the group of criminals who created the joint unrest? They are like stars in the sky at the moment, and they like to hide behind the clouds. β
"That's where you can't be sure......"
"If it was the perpetrator, we didn't get any 'hostage exchange' requests, right...... Is there an alien race among the criminals who like to eat people? β
After saying this, Harriet stared at Gu Wu with a serious gaze.
Cannibalistic aliens, this possibility is not impossible.
In this regard, Gu Wu looked back.
"There is a high probability that there are alien races in the criminal group that caused the turmoil, and the problem is that it is impossible to confirm it at the moment, so I will come."
"Is there any reason to be here?"
"In order to make yourself a bait."
Hearing this, Harriet couldn't help but look around.
"Meaning you'll be attacked?"
"It's good for me to be attacked."
Gu Wu was looking forward to the sniping of others.
Otherwise, it is difficult to have a chance to catch the clues left by the enemy.
"It is said that those criminals are going south, so they will definitely pass through this city, and the probability that Mr. Gu Wu will be attacked is not impossible."
"As soon as someone takes action, I'm able to catch it, and even better if it's a member of a group of perpetrators."
After saying this, Gu Wu suddenly looked out of the corridor.
As far as the eye can see, there is a passage to the building.
And at the location of the central fountain, the door of a car was opened, and the person who came out of it pointed his gun at Gu Wu.
Such a blatant attack?
Don't you know that firearms are of little use to you?
Bang!
The gunshots rang out, and Gu Wu's barrier also resisted it as a matter of course.
"Miss Harriet!"
Hearing the sound and noticing the mutation, Fanny immediately rushed to the red-haired girl.
The attacker, who pulled the trigger, got into the car and prepared to flee with his companions.
"That's too much to underestimate people......"
Gu Wu locked onto the vehicle and aimed it with his right hand.
The force was released, and the raised pinpricks from beneath the earth pierced its trunk.
The next moment......
The vehicle that was penetrated shattered.
That's right, shattered like a mirror.
Only then did Gu Wu realize that it was an illusion, and the bullet just now was not an attack, but a scene to create a false phantom.
Thanks to this, the real vehicle has gone far away.
In this regard, Gu Wu sighed lightly, reminding himself to pay attention in the future, and at the same time summoning a violent wind to engulf and blow over the fleeing vehicles.
"Fanny! Let the troops pass! β
Harriet also reacted and gave the order.
And at this moment, there was a commotion in the room behind Gu Wu.
Gu Wu, who found out about this situation, immediately pushed open the door and walked in.
Appearing in the field of vision is a man in a gown, throwing a musical instrument aside, and a girl held hostage by him.
The girl was not an outsider, but Yingli Lili.
"Finally seized the opportunity! Listen to me! The world itself is a lie!! β
"Can't you sit down and talk?"
"Gu Wu!! You're a liar too! β
"Let people go."
"Don't come here! Otherwise, I'll kill her! β
Gu Wu asked the crowd to retreat, and he walked over.
At the same time, to his right, Altair's figure had disappeared.
"What do you want me to admit, tell me about it."
"It's easy! Tell them the truth about this world! We are all deceived people! A complete change is needed!! β
"The truth?"
Faced with Gu Wu's doubts, the man who wanted to say something was hit by AltaΓ―r from the side, and the whole thing flew out and let go of Ying Lili at the same time.
"I'm so sorry, Mr. Gu Wu, it was my mistake and I didn't verify it thoroughly!"
"Mayor Sword, we'll talk about this later."
Stopping the mayor's speech, Gu Wu looked at the offender who had lost consciousness after being shot away.
"Is it finally getting started......
The next plot is probably the process of the criminals launching a challenge!
