Inside, the Four Seasons Hotel is home to the heads of the Rothschild family, to the powerful princes of the Middle Eastern royal family, to the heads of major European conglomerates. Chenxian had already accompanied her father to meet one big man after another in the political and economic circles, and the perfect smile on her little face was a little stiff.

But the communication of high society is so boring and hypocritical. She could hear the tacit exchange of interests when the other party talked to her father, even if it was just a look or a joke, it might decide on an investment plan of more than 100 million dollars.

-- "The Future of Humanity" development plan.

On the surface, China, which monopolizes the technology of deciphering alien legacies, still relies on Chenxian's cooperation on the bright side. And she herself was used by her father as a participant, and even became an important bargaining chip for a decisive figure in this grand blueprint that will determine the future direction of the entire human civilization.

Whether it is the advanced United States and Japan, the countries of Western Europe, or the backward Indo-African subcontinent...... All countries are caught up in this maelstrom of interests. And the person who stirred up this whirlpool, and even put it in a delicate balance, was none other than her father, who was increasingly prominent in European political and economic circles.

A global joint development base for extraterrestrial heritage is already on the agenda of heated negotiations. Europe, the United States, Japan and other scientific and technological powers will send professional teams to cooperate throughout the process. On top of that, military cooperation to deal with the "super-giant deformed cyst pollution source" in the depths of the Pacific Ocean is also steadily progressing.

The news of the "Star Demon" posted on the website of the man in black is still skeptical by a considerable number of people at home and abroad, and even thinks it is alarmist. But more people are starting to hoard resources for possible future crises. In particular, the "survivalists" who spread around the world after the epidemic in the United States seem to be eager for a global crisis to break out tomorrow. It's like a carnival showing off how strong their storage cellars are and how well they are armed. Chenxian's forum ID on the Men in Black website doesn't know how many replies and private letters she has received asking for further information. Unfortunately, she has been "advised" (forbidden) by her father and the government to release any information in her private name.

In fact, both Chinese and overseas government officials complained about her public revelation of the "fetal sea cyst" in cyberspace. The resulting social unrest and economic losses are enormous. If it weren't for the fact that she was Di Tianxia's daughter and the core figure in deciphering the alien legacy, I am afraid that she would have been covered with the hat of "spreading rumors and causing incidents, and the consequences are extremely serious, extremely bad".

Chenxian herself knows how much social unrest this kind of news can cause, but she and Li Pu both believe that covering up the news may make society more stable and governments more likely to do things. But the announcement may give more people a chance to prepare for survival.

After all, no one, including her and Li Pu, didn't know that the "Fetal Sea Cyst" sleeping in the depths of the Pacific Ocean, which was a well-known subspace legendary-level strange creature in the Star Hunter Covenant, would suddenly wake up one day, completely distorting the ecological chain of this planet.

Compared with ordinary people who have only a few resources to prepare, the guests who come to participate in this "Future of Mankind" fundraiser are all high-ranking people who are at the forefront of the entire human civilization and hold the most power and resources. Their main focus is on whether they can participate in the investment in the development of extraterrestrial heritage bases. Can you seize the opportunity to gain a foothold, or even go further, after the big changes in the future?

At the end of 2004, although China's economy was booming, on the whole, it was still impossible to monopolize such a huge development plan, whether it was in a political sense, in terms of economic strength, or in terms of scientific and technological level. Not even a 50% stake in the development. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Di Tianxia, who has the identity of the core cadre of "Fruit Snake", has become an intermediate donor connecting European and American consortia, and everyone has come together to raise funds and invest to gain greater power and interests. Visionary forces such as DuPont, Rothschild, Morgan, and the Hermans consortium controlled by Di Tianxia themselves have spilled a lot of money and resources at any cost, just to put more influence into this development plan.

As for other powerful people who are relatively small, or Middle Eastern chieftains who don't have much courage and skill, and just want to be rich and safe, they mainly have a relationship with Di Tianlala, and ask if there is any dangerous situation, such as the earth is uninhabitable, and if they want to start extraterrestrial colonization, can they leave a place for them or something? For this peace charm, they can throw out tens of millions of dollars without blinking an eye.

For example, among the people who were talking to his father was a Dubai chief named Rashid, who was curiously asking Di Tianxia if he knew where the "Global Joint Development Base for Alien Heritage" would be established.

"I've heard that the U.S. has asked for a development base in Nevada, the mysterious area where Area 51 is legend to be. Naturally, the Chinese were strongly opposed, and the Japanese took the opportunity to propose that a development base could be established in Tokyo, connecting the East and the West. Chief Rashid was young, handsome, and had a meticulous stubble, and he raised his glass and smiled, "Brother Phoenix, do you have any news?" You know, where the development base is, our assets may have to flow with it. ”

"Rashid, I'm sure. It won't be Japan. I'm sorry......" Di Tianxia turned his head to another middle-aged man with a serious expression and an Oriental appearance, and said, "Brother Zhiqilang, you also know that your country's technical strength is good, but it is too close to the Pacific Ocean. ”

"I understand that those idiots at the Foreign Office are just habitually muddying the waters." Dahaoyuan Zhiqilang said in a deep voice: "I think if there is a vote, it is still the Nevada state in the United States that has the best chance." The attitude of the Americans is very tough. Europe, on the other hand, may be more willing to support the United States, which is also a free world, than China. As long as it loses the support of European countries, it will be difficult for China to withstand it politically. ”

If you think about it with your brain, you will know that in such a situation, it is absolutely impossible to choose the United States. Chenxian's fine eyelashes drooped slightly, and the delicate lip flap with a little lip gloss was pursed disapprovingly.

Sure enough, Di Tianxia raised his eyebrows undeniably and said: "There is not much influence I can make in a negotiation like this in the political field, but I personally think that it will not be the Americas, it can only be in Eurasia." ”

"Huh? Can you see it? Dahaoyuan Zhiqi Lang asked with interest.

"As you know, the entire American continent hangs outside the world." Di Tianxia spread his hands and said: "This has always been the advantage of the Americas, but unfortunately in the current situation, it has become the disadvantage of the Americas. The population of South America and North America combined does not exceed one billion. But in Eurasia, just one China, exceeds this number. Bordering Europe and not far from Africa, Asia can be said to account for the majority of the world's population. ”

He continued: "Friends, we are not facing an economic crisis or a world war, but a crisis that has never existed before. In the face of this crisis, which could affect the future of civilization, only by uniting can we have a chance to get through. ”

The discourse is very politically correct. But everyone present could hear the implication: Eurasia has an absolute advantage in population, and in the face of this situation, it will definitely huddle together to keep warm. As for the trust of the free world? I've been kicked to the side a long time ago!

The powerful people who came to participate in the fundraiser were obviously very interested in this topic, and more people gathered around, and kept asking Di Tianxia with great interest.

Chen Xian wanted to find a reason to slip away, but it was a pity that these stars surrounded Di Tianxia's high-class magnates like the moon, and each of them would pile up a very kind smile and take the initiative to say a few words to her. There were even three well-dressed uncles who smiled and used a head touch on her.

"Hi, that, hello." Suddenly, a soft voice spoke to her in English, "Can I call you Sister Ellie?" ”

Chenxian turned her head to look and found that it was a little Lori of Middle Eastern descent who was obviously much younger than her, with thick black hair like a waterfall and delicate skin of wheat color. Although he is young, he has a noble temperament that exudes from his bones. The deep, three-dimensional and innocent eyes are lightly embellished with pale Egyptian eyeshadow, and the pink cherry lips under Joan's nose are delicate and moving, making the delicate goose egg under Qi bangs look picturesque. He also wore a platinum tiara set with sparkling pink diamonds like a princess's crown.

- Like a girl who has come out of the most exquisite and luxurious Persian miniature painting.

The girl saw Chenxian's eyes looking at her, her eyes widened with joy, and she said in a timid and slightly accented soft voice, "My name is Salama." Nice to meet you, that, I've been following you! You've deciphered an alien legacy, that's amazing! ”

Chenxian chatted with her for a few words, and learned that she was the youngest daughter of Dubai Sheikh Rashid who had talked to her father before, Salama, a direct royal princess. She usually lives in a boudoir, but today she was specially brought out by her father, and she has always wanted to know Chenxian - in the eyes of little Salama, Chenxian, who was fabricated by those media reports, has too many legendary colors in her life. And she was only a few years older. But he can decipher the alien legacy and reveal the truth about the monster in the ocean to the public.

- It's like the wise mountain Ruzod in the Thousand and One Nights! Salama is a bit of a star-chasing mentality.

Seeing that his daughter communicated well with Chenxian, Chief Rashid was obviously in a good mood - Chenxian was the daughter of Di Tianxia in terms of identity; In terms of ability, he is a central figure in deciphering alien legacies; is also very dignified and ladylike in character, and it is a great advantage for her daughter to be friends with her.

Chenxian also took the opportunity to get out with this reason, she held Princess Salama's pink little hand like a big sister, "Dad, I'll go with Salama to play, right?" ”

"Well, take care of this lovely little princess like a sister." Di Tianxia smiled at Salama, and then motioned for Gunilgorus, who had been standing silently not far away, to follow.

The two-meter-tall, suit-clad muscular man reminded her of the 80% explosive steel body of the black version of the black Toyuro brother, the former world martial arts emperor Gunil Gorus, nicknamed "Behemoth", nodded silently, and then smiled at the girl with a soothing smile on the gentleness possible.

Princess Salama cowered behind Sister Ellie a little timidly, and even in Chenxian's eyes, who already knew him, Gunilgorus's smile was awkward, as if it was a humanoid tyrannosaurus rex.

Holding the little princess Salama, Chenxian quickly found Li Pu. In terms of identity, Li Pu is an ordinary person, he is not very old on the outside, and he is too lazy to communicate with people, so he is almost an invisible person on this occasion. He was also happy to relax, leaning against the wall and sucking the juice leisurely.

"Escaped?" Li Pu glanced at the girl Xiao Xian was holding and said casually, "Who is she?" ”

"Hello, I'm Salama." Salama replied politely and politely, but with a slight English accent.

"......" Li Pu's instinctive first reaction to this kind of good boy who is too honest is to tease, "What? Saddam? ”

"It's not Saddam, it's Salam." The little girl hurriedly shook her head, and before she could speak, she realized that she had said it wrong, shrunk behind Chenxian, and whispered, "Salama ......"

Because of her cultural background, her family education is extremely strict, and in her home in Dubai, in addition to her father, she talks to male servants at most. I'm really not very good at reading a guy like Li Pu who is a free and easy writing rogue.

"Don't tease her on purpose, Salama rarely talks to boys." Chen Xian gently punched Li Pu in the shoulder, only in front of Li Pu would she naturally reveal the other side of the not so ladylike.

"This Arabic name is too awkward, forget it, I'll call you Rama." Li Pu smiled and smiled at the little girl: "Today, meet Rama." ”

Hearing Li Pu's words, the girl blinked her big watery eyes first, and said slightly: "By the fountain of heaven? ”

"There are only cities and stars around." Li Pu whistled, "Yes, your radio waves are still worthy of these sci-fi stalks." ”

"I like Mr. Arthur Clarke very much, second only to Mr. Time Wanderer." The little princess of Salama said happily.

Chen Xian glanced at Li Pu, who couldn't take it on, with a smile in her eyes, "You really have a lot of fans, from Bruce to this kid, and of course me." ”

Just as Li Pu was chatting with Chenxian and Princess Salama, in front of the foyer of the Four Seasons Hotel, the doorman in charge of welcoming guests twitched his nose, and a smell that should not appear on such an occasion was faintly dissipating.

He looked back and couldn't help but widen his eyes. A dry moan came from his throat. He stammered, "You...... Please refrain from entering, this is not Halloween or masquerade. ”

In front of him was a masked freak in a robe that stenked with blood. The mask he wears is a classical Italian smiling clown mask, covered in unpleasant dark red spots, which create an unusually terrifying pressure against the cracked mouth. With each step, specks of blood dragged out behind him.

In the face of the doorman who blocked him, the masked monster stretched out his hand from the red robe, his hand with six fingers, revealing an evil beauty that was different from ordinary people. He waved his hand nonchalantly in front of the doorman like a Jedi. The doorman, and the other security personnel who approached quickly, trying to stop him from entering, rolled their eyes and fainted.

A number of plainclothes French police officers at the Four Seasons Hotel pulled out their pistols and pointed them at the strange man, who was the only one who had the right to carry gunpowder weapons on this occasion.

"Hey, take off the robes! Then lie down on the spot! At the head of the French police, a big man pointed a gun at the six-fingered strange man and warned: "Madman, I will only give one warning!" If you don't stop, you'll just wait to turn into a hornet's nest! ”

But the masked freak ignored it and continued to walk towards the Four Seasons Hotel without a hitch.

"Shoot! Kill this madman! The police chief ordered. At least ten French plainclothes policemen were in front of the foyer, eight of whom pulled out their guns.

But at the moment of pulling the trigger, hundreds of shadow crow spirits suddenly poured out of the strange man's body, attacking the police one step faster than bullets, and under the wild roll, the skin of the originally strong policeman quickly dried up and shriveled, lost his vitality, and he couldn't even hold the gun steadily, and fell to the ground tremblingly, leaving only his eyes full of horror and open mouth, and after exhaling his last breath, he shriveled into ashes like a mummy.

When the Shadow Raven returned and submerged into the six-fingered monster's robes, his aura of death was noticeably stronger. There was a faint feeling of a mournful wailing ghost whirling endlessly.

The six-fingered monster, who easily harvests human lives like the Grim Reaper, walks into a fundraising hall where a large number of high-class elites are concentrated. Almost all eyes were on him. Luxurious halls, well-dressed celebrities, glamorous and touching female companions, and rich people who spend a lot of money. The masked freak with a heavy aura of death was filled with a sense of anomalousness.

"Hello, obsessed pigs at the top of human society!" The super terrorist, dressed as Edgar Allan Poe's famous "Mask of the Red Death", looked around the stunned crowd in the hall, let out a string of happy laughter like night owls, and spun around in a circle, "Is there a live broadcast?" Please don't pinch off, after all, ......"

- This is the true power of the Megatron Dark World, and for the first time, it has been completely displayed in front of the mainstream society without any scruples.

ps: Princess Salama in reality is a 99-year-old child, the famous little princess of Dubai, and the plot needs to be changed a little bigger.
