497 Castle in the Sky
Castle in the Sky is not a modifier, but as the name suggests, it is really a city that floats in the sky.
Nearly 160 years ago, the Federation discovered an island that was so strange that any ship approaching would lose its communication signal, and the Federation launched an investigation and found a never-before-seen magnet at the bottom of the island.
These magnets are unique, only effective for the earth's gravity field, they are gravity magnets that can change regional gravity changes, the effect is countless times better than ordinary gravity field devices, the Federation wants to mine, but these magnets are extremely fragile and cannot be collected at all, and finally the Federation spent huge manpower and material resources to use those gravity field magnets to float the entire island into the air and establish an air city.
This is where Castle in the Sky came from.
The city in the sky does not have a fixed location, but will float around all corners of the world, occasionally floating above the city, will cause people to marvel, call it a miracle, the paradise lost of human civilization, many people dream of living in the city in the sky.
However, the fact is that Sky City is a paradise that only belongs to the rich, at that time it took a lot of money to build Sky City, and the Federation also said that more than a dozen top rich people funded, after the establishment, those rich people are naturally eligible to have their own properties and residences in Sky City, and then with development, until now, Sky City has completely evolved into a symbol of ownership in the world, giant businessmen, celebrities, high-ranking officials, you can not live in Sky City, but at least have a house in Sky City, Or invest in some industry.
Yan Feilin opened the file bag and took out a stack of document paper, the first one was the target information.
"Orlando Wall, male, 41 years old, chairman of the Shinrikyo of Light, philanthropist, member of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance, born in Nevada City, USA, was trafficked to Asia by human traffickers at the age of 3, there was a two-year blank period, he was adopted by an orphanage at the age of 5, grew up in an orphanage, worked at the dock at the age of 16, opened a dock transportation station at the age of 18, had assets of more than 100 million at the age of 22, became a transportation tycoon of marine transportation at the age of 25, established the Shinrikyo of Light at the age of 27, in the name of preaching the holy light to shine on the world, exorcising evil spirits and welcoming the saints, In a short period of time, he gained a large number of followers, and from the age of 28 onwards, Orlando Wall frequently appeared in public, preaching the Shinrikyo of Light and doing charitable ......"
Yan Feilin looked at Li Chengcheng and wondered, "This is my mission goal?" Judging from this information, this guy's life is completely a model of hard work, not to mention, he is also a relatively famous philanthropist, I have to deal with this guy? ”
Li Chengcheng said: "I don't know, this is your mission, it has nothing to do with me, I haven't even read any of the documents in it, so, about the mission, you shouldn't ask me, if you have any doubts, after you arrive in Sky City, your liaison officer will naturally explain it to you, however, if it is related to the Truth of Light Cult, I can tell you a little bit about what I know, it is a cult." ”
Yan Feilin looked at the information and said: "The Truth of Light Sect, believing in the true god of light, identifying monsters as the filth of the world, taking the holy light as the concept, and preaching the spirit of the holy light, can expel the filth, although I also know that this is completely nonsense, but it is not to the point of being recognized as a cult, right?" ”
"I personally have no aversion to denominations, no matter what their beliefs or doctrines are, as long as they can bring hope to people, they are good denominations." Li Chengcheng said: "Similarly, to judge whether a sect is a cult, the focus is not on the beliefs and teachings of the other party, but on what they have made the believers do after using these to gather believers. ”
Yan Feilin said: "For example? ”
Li Chengcheng said: "Two poison gas cases, one human trafficking case, five homicide cases, this is currently in the hands of the Federation, a total of eight vicious cases are related to the Shinrikyo of Light, and there are signs that the Shinrikyo of Light is still related to the revolutionary army, but, Orlando is not a simple person, he does things well, we know what he did in the case, but either there is no evidence, or he found someone to be guilty, the only human trafficking case, we are on a sea transport ship, One hundred and nine women between the ages of 18 and 30 were found, all of whom were deceived by the Shinsato Cult of Light, and they would be sold to various places for fun, and finally there were human and physical evidence, but overnight, all those women were violently killed, and one of the chief prosecutors in charge of physical evidence was also assassinated, along with the whole family of 12, and the physical evidence was of course destroyed. ”
Yan Feilin said sarcastically: "As far as I know, the Federation is not an institution that likes to talk about evidence, you generally only talk about justice, and if there is justice, you don't need evidence, and in this era, you only talk about strength, not evidence, if these things are really done by the Light Truth Sect, you have a way to clean up the other party." ”
"What you say applies to criminals...... Li Chengcheng thought for a while, spread his hands and said: "Okay, it is undeniable that in some specific cases, the evidence is indeed not important, but the key is that Orlando's identity on the surface has caused a lot of difficulties to the Federation, that guy is not only a rich man, he has a lot of money to dredge up relationships, and more importantly, he is also a well-known philanthropist, this name can not only help him recruit believers more easily, but also make him have a lot of popularity, without evidence, the Federation is really not easy to move him." ”
Yan Feilin said: "In other words, I took on a very tricky task? ”
Li Chengcheng drew a cross on his chest and said, "May God bless you." ”
Yan Feilin couldn't get more information from Li Chengcheng, so he had to continue to look through the information, first of all, Orlando's personal information, which was very detailed, and then the information about the Shinrikyo of Light, which probably occupied five or six pages, but there was no mission-related content, Yan Feilin guessed that he probably needed to arrive in Sky City by himself and connect with the so-called liaison officer before he could know the content of the mission, but after reading Orlando's information, a new character profile appeared on the seventh page, which made Yan Feilin suddenly have some interest.
Luo Tianchuan, a major of the Revolutionary Army, deputy commander of the Red Dragon Alliance, once served as the head of the stronghold of the Scarlet Front and the captain of the first team of the Scarlet Front Combat Group......
"Luo Tianchuan?" Yan Feilin muttered, "I thought he was dead. ”
The name Luo Tianchuan has been sealed in Yan Feilin's memory for a long time, but Yan Feilin has not forgotten this man, when he was able to leave Huacheng smoothly after escaping from prison, he still borrowed the help of Luo Tianchuan and the revolutionary army, and therefore carried an extra charge of colluding with the revolutionary army and selling military goods to the revolutionary army, and speaking of this crime, Yan Feilin was still angry, and he didn't use his brain to frame him, he was an ordinary student at that time, living at the bottom of the society, how could he sell military goods to others.
"It's really fateful!"
There were nine pages in the bag, five of which were taught by Orlando and four by Luo Tianchuan, and there was no doubt that no matter what the content of the mission was, these two must be the primary target.
Yan Feilin pondered, if he saw Luo Tianchuan, would he find a way to let him go, as for the discipline and justice of the federal army, Yan Feilin had been wanted for so long, and he had been a criminal for so long, so the great dream of "must become a mechanic in the federal army" was lost to the country of claws and frogs by him.
"Let's go to sleep after reading the information." Li Chengcheng said: "Sky City is not far from us at present, we should be able to arrive before dawn, we should recharge our energy before work, and if necessary, you can drink a glass of gin." ”
Yan Feilin nodded and said, "Okay." ”
Putting the materials back into the file bag, Yan Feilin lay on the chair and rested, but he didn't immediately fall asleep or meditate, but quickly thought about his future, did he really want to become a federal soldier? You don't have to live a wandering life anymore? Is that really good?
Thinking about it, Yan Feilin fell into a deep sleep, he didn't mean to be wary of Li Chengcheng, if he wanted to kill himself, he would be in Alcatraz Prison, so there was no need to worry about this.
I don't know how long it took, Yan Feilin felt someone shaking his body, opened his eyes in a daze, and saw Li Chengcheng standing in front of him.
Li Chengcheng said: "Go wash your face, and then change your clothes, the Sky City has arrived." ”
Yan Feilin rubbed his eyes, nodded his head, took a bag from Li Chengcheng's hand, entered the bathroom and opened it, inside was a pure white federal army uniform, a white windbreaker, a white military valley, white military boots, and a colonel's rank epaulette on his shoulder.
Yan Feilin put on his clothes, patted his face and said, "Don't say it, the uniforms of the federal army are quite handsome, of course, the main thing is that the master is more handsome, and he looks good in anything." ”
Yan Feilin was very shameless narcissistic, then washed his face and left the bathroom.
Back in the lounge, Li Chengcheng stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, and when he looked out the window, he could see a huge island floating at a height of 30,000 feet, appearing and disappearing between the clouds and mist, the extension of the island was wrapped in heavy silver metal armor plates, and above the island, the edge was a huge wall up to 100 meters high, and behind the wall, there was a beautiful city.
Although the outer defense of the city in the sky is armed with high technology, the city itself does not have too strong scientific and technological color, on the contrary, it looks unusually dreamy, the building up to two or three hundred meters is built and distorted, the periphery is painted green, and the resin is made of branches and buds, the building is actually dressed as a big tree, the winding road in the street, both sides are planted with flowers and plants, it is not popular to drive expensive maglev sports cars here, on the contrary, those quaint carriages, human-powered bicycles, are more popular, Some of the neighborhoods have also been made into retro forms, with houses made of wood and carved patterns that look antique.
Li Chengcheng said: "The city in the sky has not abandoned technology, in fact, most of the cities are still scientific and technological products, but they have been camouflaged, and they have not let the reinforced concrete flood the city, but have dressed it up with the appearance of nature." ”
Yan Feilin said: "Therefore, this is a paradise for the rich, not for the poor, for the poor, it is enough to have a house to live in, they don't care what the house looks like." ”
Li Chengcheng said: "Don't say it so absolutely, it is undeniable that Sky City has become a status symbol for those rich people, but there are still many ordinary people living here, they work here, open shops, work, and, maybe one day, you can also buy a house here." ”
As he spoke, the airship had gradually fallen above the Sky City, and slowly drove to the airport area southwest of the city wall.
