"It's a shame that you don't want to be an intelligence officer."

Seeing Song Lan return to her side, Lu Xiang sighed sincerely, she felt that if MI7 could really hire someone like Song Lan, she would probably wake up laughing in her dreams.

After the conversation, Hogg-Foster seemed to have found his purpose in life again.

The betrayal from his former friends forced him to put the matter of "enthusiastic citizens" behind him for the time being, and thus focused on the fishing boat club.

There was no coercion, not even the dominant psionic power, he just said a few words in front of Hogg, who was at a low point in his life, and successfully pointed the finger at the Fishing Boat Club.

"You have all the qualities you need for a good intelligence officer, except for one thing."

"Huh?"

"You don't like to travel and work overtime."

"I don't think this job is for me, and I won't do it if I give me more money."

Song Lan has never had any ambition for work, the work of the 17th arrondissement can earn him enough pension and buy a big house after retirement, he originally planned to leave the smoky city of the 17th arrondissement when he has saved enough money, but with the joint efforts of Lu Xiang and the new mayor Aureliano, the livability of the city has been greatly improved.

In just a few months, the crime rate has dropped below average, all the big gangs have gone down, and the reputation of the Special Ops-team led by Captain Doug has put an end to the endless gang fights.

The entry of the Lagus Foundation and the resumption of border trade routes have also given the unemployed the opportunity to re-enter the workforce.

The AIs they took in also set up a farm in a small town on the outskirts, and not long ago, they produced their first food, and from now on, they will taste the food provided by their own farms and farms.

The current 17th district can be described as thriving.

This made Song Lan have the idea of settling in the 17th district for a long time.

But the only problem now is that someone is working tirelessly to blow up their homes.

First, there was the psionic storm caused by Longinus's self-detonation, and then there was the Mago's munitions that were enough to raze the surface of the Seventeenth District a dozen times.

Not to mention that the coalition government intended from the outset to use District 17 as the main battlefield for the war against the rebels.

Everything seems to be accidental, but it leads to the same result.

Destiny.

This had to make Song Lan think of a term that she had often heard recently.

This metaphysical word proved to be true in 2167, and even the top of the coalition government in District 1 were willing to become its marionettes, willing to turn themselves into "gods" in order to know what was to come.

And now, Song Lan gradually realized that fate did not seem to intend for him to earn enough pension for his retirement.

In desperation, he had to come to District 1 to see what was going on inside the coalition government.

It's just that he didn't expect that he would just look at it like this, and even the chairman of the council would be knocked down.

This forced them to face a thorny problem - if the current High Council was made up of the Fishing Boat Club's followers, and left unchecked, they would continue to have the destruction of Sector 17 on their agenda.

Thinking of this, Song Lan couldn't help but feel that her life seemed to be tainted with tragedy.

In other words, after coming to the First District, he gradually realized that most people living in this world are in the midst of a whirlpool of tragedy.

He and Lu Xiang walked side by side on the street.

6:31。

That's where the day begins.

The 17th arrondissement is always lively at this time, and the people who wake up come to the streets one after another, bringing the whole city to life, but there are still few people to be seen on the streets of the first arrondissement.

Song Lan looked up at this steel forest formed by high-rise buildings, the lights inside were still on, even if so many big things happened yesterday, the lives of the company people remained the same, and each of them faced more anxious problems than worrying about the future of this stormy empire.

Job.

Work that can never be done.

Worries and discussions are reserved for those who can be idle, and the people in these buildings are like cogs in some huge machine, forced by pressure to keep moving forward.

From the moment they enter the company, their lives seem to be in sight.

"But you haven't figured out what Hogg has in your hands, and he seems confident in that."

After walking out of a distance, Lu Xiang spoke again.

The reason why they came to this bar today was because Dr. Hakutake, while investigating the Coalition Government's internal communications, accidentally discovered the familiar name Hogg-Foster, who wanted to replace the vacant position of the Secretary-General, and the bargaining chip he provided was information about "Enthusiastic Citizens".

She had to sigh at the wonder of fate.

It seems that even Hogg himself did not expect his longtime friend Jock to reject him.

And he may never know that his friend has invisibly saved his life.

The reason why they came to the bar was because Dr. Hakutake mentioned that every time the two met, they would come to the bar to catch up, and the bar also provided them with a dedicated cubicle, and their plan was never to persuade Hogg in the first place.

Hogg got drunk in the bar lobby, saving him from being found in his cubicle with a hole in his chest.

"He may not make it back alive from the Boat Club."

Song Lan worries about the future of her new friend.

After all, the Alien is different from him, they are ruthless characters who will take innocent passers-by to feed plants in the sewers, and he bets that even if Hogg had worked in the "Libra" symbolizing the justice of the coalition government for so long, he would never have encountered such a deranged criminal.

"If he survives, think about it again."

"Yueji said that she would keep an eye on that side, although she hadn't been in, but she knew how the club called a party every time."

"Let her pay more attention, female knights are a rather dangerous profession...... But then again, these big families are really rich, and when I went to check out, I glanced at their bills and drank 170,000 watts of wine in one meal. ”

In a coalition government, what is the concept of 170,000 watts?

Mr. Hogg drank nearly a quarter of the chai in one drink!

Chai Ke once again made Song Lan truly aware of the unevenness of this world.

They also stayed in the bar for nearly a night, and the two of them ordered a bottle of wine, and in the end, most of them were drunk by Lu Xiang.

And after they walked some distance, the street finally became lively.

Several armored hovercraft skimmed over their heads, hovering less than a hundred meters in front of them, their doors open, and from them jumped out of them were enforcers wearing exoskeleton armor, carrying heavy firepower, and even equipped with weapons of mass destruction, such as projectile launchers.

Song Lan had heard that they had a very popular name - the Violent Terrorist Mobile Team.

Their duties in the Bureau are similar to those of Captain Doug's Special Ops Team, but their composition is more peculiar, and most of them are recovered cybermaniacs.

Of course, "rehabilitation" is the official version provided by the law enforcement agencies in District 1, and according to some gossip, many people have witnessed their extremely cruel methods in the process of law enforcement, often running to kill their targets, trying not to leave the prisoners with any chance to surrender and beg for mercy.

And now, this squad that will only be dispatched in the face of serious offenders is in front of the two.

Heavy weapons were aimed at the two at the first time.

But contrary to rumors, they did not choose to open fire the moment they landed, and the elite troops armed to the teeth were in stark contrast to the two men in casual clothes, but all the pressure was concentrated on the terrorist team.

The moment they raised their guns, their breathing became rapid and heavy.

Song Lan only took another step forward, and the captain of this operation immediately made a gesture of retreat, and the members of the team scattered behind all the cover they could find almost at the same time, as if it was not them who held heavy weapons, but the other party.

This scene made Song Lan have to stop, he originally planned to step forward to say hello to the other party, after all, they can be regarded as peers, but his peers are obviously in a bad state of mind now, and they don't seem to want to say a word to him.

The appearance of the terrorist mobile team means that the plan he and Lu Xiang have achieved.

The first district is different from the seventeenth arrondissement, where every street is covered by surveillance probes, and their behavior on the street is captured by the surveillance probes at the first time.

And just yesterday evening, the High Council passed a bill to abolish MI7's highest operational unit, and to order that these dangerous elements be kept under close guard.

The two sides remained at a stalemate on the street until the convoy of law enforcement officers arrived one after another, and they immediately cordoned off the entire street.

Appearing as a negotiator was the captain of the Enforcer team with whom he had met that night.

“…… Mr. Lucci. ”

At the moment, her face was pale, and every step she took seemed to be tormented, but even so, she had to bite the bullet, this was the only chance to avoid casualties.

She didn't know why such an errand ended up on the head of their law enforcement department.

Being able to be sent alone to investigate the case of the disappearance of the "Sub-Kong Barrier" means that the other party's ability is above the six-star candidate recognized by the coalition government, and according to the information they have obtained, it is his colleague who walks beside Song Lan.

Let them arrest two suspects suspected of being six-star rescuers, and give orders because they don't die fast enough?

"I want to know your reasoning."

Fortunately, Mr. Lucci seemed to maintain a calm tone for the time being, "What is the reason for our arrest?" ”

"We have received reports of suspicions that you were involved in planning the assassination of the Speaker and the Secretary-General......"

Every word that comes out is torment for the captain.

This is an order from a higher authority, and they are not given any substantive evidence at all, what is the difference between this and arresting people by trumped-up means?

"Of course, I think they must be mistaken, but I hope you two can come with us."

She gritted her teeth, plucking up as much courage as she could, "Honestly, I don't know why we are on this mission. ”

"The reason is simple."

Song Lan glanced at the terrorist mobile team behind the bunker, "If you are all wiped out, then I will be convicted of engaging in terrorist activities." ”

In this way, the falsification becomes the evidence of the real hammer.

For those who gave orders, they didn't expect the law enforcers to arrest him and Lu Xiang, for them, the death of these people was the result they wanted to see the most.

The Enforcer's captain shuddered.

The other party's tone did not waver when he mentioned that they would be wiped out, as if he was just stating a fact that was about to happen.

"And you, realizing this, instead of running away, came to us."

"I heard that the video taken on the street that night was first discovered by you, and then you submitted it to the relevant departments. ”

“…… Yes. ”

"So, just guess."

Everyone except the captain kept a "safe distance" from them, believing that the Sniper should be in place at this point, and perhaps their heads were already in the other's scope.

But even so, the hearts of everyone present were in their throats.

"Guess what's going to happen on this street in the next time leap?"
