Fifteen years after the defeat of the "Asian-American War", the Yaning Empire, which was once the center of the East: the monarchy, has become a vain name, as a defeated country has become a colony of the Western power Meidabusua, the society has been redefined into three classes, the first class of citizens are Western colonists from Meidabusoa, the second class is the mixed race of Western colonists and local Yaning people, and the third class is the Yaning aborigines.

Severe social unrest has led to economic hardship for many Yaning indigenous people, massive unemployment and urban migration, turning large areas of the city into slums and breeding grounds for soaring violent crime.

In the "mirage" of the capital of Yaning, the old city is lined with slums, separated by a long maritime canal and a bustling center where the upper class citizens live. It was once glorious at the height of the Yaning Empire, but now all that remains in the winter is the glitz and glitz of the past reflected in the water on the cobblestone streets, like the name of the city, like a mirage.

And tomorrow is the annual "Day of the Alliance": celebrating the end of the Asian-American War and the establishment of the new Republic of Yaning, now in its 15th year under the auspices of the Western power Meda Busoya. On the surface, it was a re-establishment of a peaceful alliance between the two countries, but in a practical sense, it was a holiday imposed on Yaning by Meda Busoya to show off his victory and consolidate his position, so for many old Yaning people, "Alliance Day" was more like a shame, so it was called "National Shame Day" by the locals.

The so-called annual celebration is a small celebration, and a big celebration in five years. The colonial government was particularly interested in the celebration. Both old and new neighborhoods are lit up to add color to the night when they just fall.

Hong Yuesheng limped through the crowd, carrying the food she had just bought with the money in her wallet, wrapped in oiled paper, so she was no longer as reckless as before. Despite this, due to his small stature and inconspicuousness, he is sometimes bumped into by adults who don't see him. When he walked through the alley, he saw a craftsman blowing candy under a kerosene lamp, pinching noodles, selling **lottery tickets, someone preparing dinner in a street residence, and someone playing mahjong noisily in a two-story building. The downtown area of the old city is the only way for Hong Yuesheng to go home, the pavilion is brilliantly lit, as if it is made of gold, and the sound of opera comes over, and the holographic image of the drama "Guifei Drunk" is projected on the Chinese attic:

"Tonight is like a dream......

I think how much I loved you when you entered the palace, and now once you ruthlessly boast and secretly abandon it, can it be said that the two will be separated from now on! ”

Hua Dan in the video is babbling in a flat tone, singing and dancing while performing the drunken fan dance of the characters in the play, sometimes covering her sleeves and drinking, sometimes drunk. The play is still the same old play, but in order to be more in line with the aesthetic preferences of the Meda Busoa colonists, the female characters' costumes have been changed to be more revealing and close-fitting, and the dancing is a little more sexy.

Under the huge holographic image, the main force of the police mobile unit in charge of patrolling in the downtown area, the "mechanical heart", with the face of a "Buddha", closely watching every street around it.

After the "Asian-American War", in the face of the unequal agreement signed by Asia and the United States and the colonial bill, a large number of Yaning ** armed forces rose up to oppose the Meda Busoya government, especially the anti-American organization "Renaissance", which grew rapidly, so that the Meda Busoa colonial government was shocked. As a result, the government transformed the wartime military armed force "Mechanical Heart", and with a high degree of mobility and force, the mechanical heart quickly established order, and the colonial government of Medabsoa also declared itself the protector of good public order and ruled with an iron fist.

Hong Yuesheng avoided these mechanical troops from afar, and ran to the last section of the red light district "Chunzhilan" street in the downtown area, all kinds of neon lights were red and green, ** from the second floor of the attic holding a colorful silk scarf and shouting down, calling the names of the old friends who passed by.

Hong Yuesheng walked through an attic, the light rail train rumbled overhead, he walked up the stairs to the second floor, halfway up to see the plum tree downstairs, and ran downstairs to pick a plum blossom that he thought was in good shape.

I went upstairs again and came to the door, and I was about to knock on the door, when I suddenly heard the faint female ** voice in the room.

"Hmm...... Hmmm......"

Hong Yuesheng leaned her face close to the broken wooden door, and through the cracks in the door, she could see the scene in the room: all kinds of clothes were thrown messily on the floor of the room, white silk women's pajamas hung on old glossy black off-road motorcycles that were used as decorations in the room, and black and white male Meda Busoa military uniforms hung in front of the window. Beyond the scattered clothes, a pair of full-body**** are entangled together, among which the young short-haired woman has her back to Hong Yuesheng, and is sitting on a middle-aged Meda Busoya Caucasian man with a somewhat fat figure, the woman's pair of long, watery and well-proportioned legs clamp the man's buttocks, supporting the body up and down and rising back and forth, sweat flowing through the colorful phoenix tattoo on the thin and delicate back, and the crisp chest is swinging, looming from behind, and from time to time making a seductive ** sound - Hong Yuesheng's face is red, He quickly turned his back and sat down on the ground against the door, swallowed a deep mouthful of saliva, and didn't dare to make any more sounds, but the colorful phoenix that he had just seen in his mind that spread from her back to her neck seemed to linger as if the sight of spreading her wings and flying under the continuous stretching and closing of her shoulder blades.

Hong Yuesheng left one of the two packets of dim sum wrapped in oil paper in front of the door, and pinned the wildflowers, and then tiptoed away. The girl put on her pajamas and opened the door to breathe, she had a melon seed face, beautiful appearance, and her skin was like jade, unlike other **, she did not apply fat powder, because of the strenuous exercise just now, her cheeks were flushed, and she was a little big and pulled the half-covered pajamas on her chest with both hands, and fanned it, letting the cold air outside blow in and take away the sweat on her chest, while drinking the favorite canned beer that the man brought her. Unexpectedly, she saw the parcel on the ground in front of the door, and the vermilion plum blossom was still swaying with the breeze on the parcel, standing out against a gray background.

Beyond the red light district, there is a huge garbage dump. Here, it can be regarded as the only place where the old and new towns meet, the domestic garbage of the two areas will be thrown here, forming a huge ruin, Hong Yuesheng twisted around in the ruins, making sure that no one was around, and after making sure that no one was around, he got into the rubble, and in front of him was a collapsed temple, the temple had been covered with dense vegetation, and the moonlight passed through the broken ceiling, casting a long shadow for Hong Yuesheng.

In the corner of the vine-strewn wall, there was a hidden camera that was slowly turning towards him. Hong Yuesheng, who was in the monitor, was looking up at the lens, and the lens quietly zoomed and retracted several times.

Hong Yuesheng made a gesture from the camera to indicate safety, and then removed a moss-covered manhole cover that almost blended into the ground, and rolled over and slid down the sewer shaft staircase.

Sliding down the narrow shaft, under Hong Yuesheng is the "mirage" sewer system, which used to be the city's main sewage treatment system, but now the system in the old city has been abandoned, but surprisingly there are many Yaning people living here, most of them dressed in simple and practical clothes, with khaki scarves around their necks or felt hats, and they are busy walking around the sewer sewage.

Not many people paid attention to Hong Yuesheng, who was sliding down the stairs, and when he landed quickly, he controlled the speed of the slide to avoid his injured leg from hitting the ground too hard. As soon as he touched the ground, Hong Yuesheng walked towards the No. 3 pipeline, but as soon as he took a few steps, he found several tall figures standing in front of him.

Hong Yuesheng turned around and wanted to run,

"Catch him!"

As soon as Hong Yuesheng ran near the mouth of the pipe, he was stopped by two other people who had already been ambushed, no matter how desperately he struggled, or was put back alive, except for a girl who was wearing cyan clothes and was emaciated, they were all about ten ** years old males, surrounded in a circle, and surrounded Hong Yuesheng during the period. A young man in the middle, who looked like a bear, came up and punched Hong Yuesheng in the abdomen, causing him to have a spasm in the abdomen, and he couldn't help but kneel on the ground and spit out yellow water.

"Phew!"

The bear spat on Hong Yuesheng's body. "Tell you to run, little bunny!" After that, it was another kick, and Hong Yuesheng just used one elbow to prop up the ground and wanted to get up, but he was kicked down again. This time, the snack wrapped in oiled paper in his arms flew out and landed on the ground in front of him.

Hong Yuesheng ignored the pain and hurriedly crawled over to get the snack back. The others laughed as he crawled to the snack in distress.

Just when he grabbed the snack, a military boot stepped down, and stepped on his hand and the snack in his hand to the ground, and the snack was immediately crushed, squeezed out of the broken oiled paper, and melted into the sewage on the ground between Hong Yuesheng's fingers under the military boot, and turned into mud.

"Prince!"

"Prince."

The people around hurriedly nodded and said hello, Hong Yuesheng gritted her teeth, and looked up along the military boots: a black and white Yaning military pants, military uniform, copper buckle belt, and also some old but neatly ironed Yaning reserve non-commissioned officer uniform, with a straight collar, and the old Yaning Emperor's ** emblem hanging in front of the collarbone - a scepter ornament symbolizing imperial power. This young man, nicknamed "The Prince", had a thoughtful face, and despite his young age, his hair was neatly combed into short side parts, and there was a hint of unruliness between his eyebrows, as if he were a disciple of an orthodox army, and he was obviously the leader of this gang.

The young man of the prince looked down at the dirty little boy on the ground, and wrinkled his nose, "It's really worthy of being called Hanako, you can sell your actions for a bag of snacks." ”

"I, I didn't ......" Hong Yuesheng grinned in pain, and she couldn't breathe when she spoke. Well, we said you grabbed your wallet and lured those Meda Busoya lackeys to Thirteenth Street. And what about people now? ”

"There was a mobile unit there, so I had to change the route."

"It's hard-mouthed!" The prince twisted his foot on Hong Yuesheng's hand, and he was so painful that he lay on the ground and trembled, "We think it's your anti-bone letter." ”

The girl in green clothes also squatted down, brushed Hong Yuesheng's cheek on the ground with one hand, her pointed nails scratched Hong Yuesheng's cheeks, she tilted her head to look at Hong Yuesheng, she had a cat-like face, some freckles on both sides of her cheeks, and her lips rubbed a little inferior lipstick:

"Little brother, don't be smart. If you didn't do anything, how could there be a mobile unit suddenly in the Old City? That half-breed fell overboard, how could you save him? And took his money? Don't think we don't know anything! ”

"I said no! I didn't betray anyone! Hong Yuesheng shook her head as she spoke, shook off the hand of the girl in Tsing Yi, and spat on her face impartially.

"Wow!" The girl in Tsing Yi hurriedly wiped her face with her hands.

"Toast and don't eat and drink!" Seeing this, the prince raised his foot and stepped on Hong Yuesheng's hand and wanted to kick his head, Hong Yuesheng seized the opportunity and grabbed the military boots that the prince had just raised.

A few people around looked panicked, and the girl in Tsing Yi shouted at a few partners: "What are you doing here stupidly!" Why don't you go and help the prince! ”

A few people woke up at this time, rushed up and grabbed Hong Yuesheng, and kicked and dragged them, but in any case, Hong Yuesheng just beat the prince according to him, and beat the prince to the nose with a few strokes. It was finally the bear that dragged Hong Yuesheng off the prince's body.

The girl in Tsing Yi hurriedly went over to take care of the prince, the prince touched his nose and face with his hand, his hands were full of blood, he pushed the girl in Tsing Yi away, and shouted angrily: "Bastard, hit me!" ”

In fact, there was no need for him to order, several of his subordinates were already surrounding Hong Yuesheng, and Hong Yuesheng had already picked up a pair of steel bars from the ground at this time, and waved them at a few people around him, shouting:

"Don't come again! Whoever comes over I'll poke whomever in the throat! ”

"Little bunny!"

Because of his behavior just now, several people were afraid. In the end, it was the bear who had the guts and roared: "I have to kill you tonight!" And he rushed up, and just as the two were about to fight,

"Stop me!" At this time, there was a sudden shout from behind several people, and it was still a female voice.

The prince, who had just risen from the ground, looked back and saw a young girl standing behind him, wearing a dark green jacket and close-fitting jeans, with a guitar behind her back. Even though the clothes were thick in winter, they still didn't block the phoenix tattoo that ran all the way to the neck.

"Oh, it's Sister Phoenix." The prince nodded, and several other people also stopped, and Hong Yuesheng also stood there for a while, lowering the steel bar in his hand, but was immediately grabbed by the collar and lifted up.

"Enough!" Although Feng Die's voice was pleasant, her tone was tough: "You guys, it's not appropriate to bully a child together, right?" ”

"Yo, who am I?" The girl in Tsing Yi pretended to be mature and ridiculed Feng Die, but her tone still couldn't show her immature age, but she was actually full of jealousy: "It turned out to be Sister Feng Die." ”

"Kiki, it's not your turn to speak!" While wiping the blood from his face, the prince scolded the girl in Tsing Yi who was called "Qiqi", and Qiqi was reprimanded, so she didn't dare to answer again, but she still looked at the phoenix butterfly with hostility.

"Sister Fengdie, we don't have nothing to do." Feng Die is a few years older than all of them, and she has been mixed up for a longer time, even the prince is a little in awe of her, "You know that tomorrow is the Day of National Shame, it is said that this time Meda Busoya made it bigger, and some new colonial ambassador was appointed to speak." The order from above, let's find a way to catch the staff around the ambassador and force him to ask about the ambassador's itinerary. We finally found an opportunity to lure a few ambassadors' personal guards, and they were all messed up by this kid! The prince still glanced at Hong Yuesheng fiercely.

"I've known this kid for a long time, and he's not the kind of person who can rebel." Feng Die replied coldly.

The prince walked in front of Feng Die, turned his back to his subordinates, and lowered his voice: "Sister Feng Die, I can't explain to the top when I go back like this." ”

Feng Die also raised her head and stared at the prince, not showing weakness at all, "The matter is not done, it is not authentic to detain all the basins on a child!" ”

"Sister Fengdie, don't embarrass me." The prince seemed to have no way to take the phoenix butterfly, and showed an embarrassed expression.

Feng Die looked at the prince, sighed, and said in her heart, they are still children. She took out a note from her bosom and handed it to the prince.

"What is this?"

"This is information I just heard this afternoon from a guest who is the local official in charge of receiving the arrival of the ambassador of the new colony, and who is also a regular visitor of mine." As she spoke, Feng Die opened the note. "This is the specific schedule of the ambassador for tomorrow. Now you take this and go on an errand. ”

The prince was silent for a moment, then reached out to take the note. He was about to turn around, but he turned back halfway through, put his face close to the root of Feng Die's ear, and whispered: "After this operation is successful, you don't do this again, follow me, I'll talk to my uncle again." ”

Feng Die smiled, and also probed her pointed chin to the prince's ear, and exhaled gently: "Everyone has their own life to live, and how I live is my business." ”

The prince felt insulted, his face flushed, but he was helpless, and he was speechless for a while. I had to turn my head and shout to my subordinates: "Let's go!" ”

"Huh?" The bear just grabbed Hong Yuesheng by the collar and lifted him up, but he didn't understand it for a while, "Just let this stinky boy go?!"

"Sister Fengdie has interceded, can we still give face~" Qiqi pushed the bear with a resentful puns, suggesting that he should stop insisting. The bear threatened viciously: "Boy, you wait. But he was still obedient, and a few people hurriedly followed the prince who had already walked away. The last to walk was Qiqi, who brushed Hong Yuesheng's shoulder, and then turned around and walked away.

Everyone nodded when they passed by the butterfly:

"Sister Fengdie."

"Sister Phoenix......

Even so, as soon as they walked away, several people couldn't help but break their mouths:

"Do you see Butterfly's buttocks? It's sexy. ”

"That chest is eye-catching!"

"Shhhh Be careful that the prince will whip you for a while. ”

Kiki and Feng Die passed by, she was half a head lower than Feng Die, and whispered to the side to warn Feng Die in a still immature voice: "I warn you, you stay away from my prince!" ”

Feng Die didn't turn her face, but replied with the same low smile: "Women are not attractive to worry about men running away all day long." ”

Kiki opened her mouth and was speechless, so she had to chop off her sleeves and leave with a kick.

Hong Yuesheng waited for everyone to leave, and then threw down the steel bar in his hand. As soon as his spirit relaxed, he suddenly felt severe pain in his body, kneeling on the ground, plus he hadn't eaten for too long, and his physical strength was exhausted and he fell on the cold ground. When he bent over, his firm chest was close to Hong Yuesheng, and he vaguely saw the plum blossoms pinned to the low-cut V-neck sweater of the phoenix butterfly in his coat. The red plum blossoms slowly swirled, like a kaleidoscope seen when he was a child, and brought him into the darkness.

And behind him, where Kiki had just photographed, an inconspicuous little device was sending signals intermittently
