Terra Calendar 1590.9.23.

Monte-Carlo Region - City of Monte-Carlo.

Monte Carlo is a monarchical city-state located on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea and is considered one of the smallest and least populated independent states in the world. It is known for its thriving economy and low tax policies. The city-state had significant influence in areas such as finance, tourism, gambling, and the sale of luxury goods.

Monte Carlo is bordered by the Flange, or should it be said that Monte Carlo is a country embedded in the Flange, which is surrounded by the French province of Maritim. According to the agreement between Monte Carlo and Fran, Fran was responsible for defending Monte Carlo's defense, that is, they paid for Fran's army, and Fran was responsible for defending them.

Located in the heart of Monte Carlo, Monte Carlo is one of the most famous casinos in the world and one of Monte-Carlo's most unique landmarks.

Today, the casino's parking lot is still filled with many luxury cars.

Boom Boom –

In the distance, a luxury car is parked in the parking lot outside the casino with exhaust fumes, and the tail, double row exhaust pipes present a calm and radical sense of contradiction, exuding a strong sporty atmosphere, which is a typical Berlin-made luxury car.

The car gradually stopped, the engine gradually subsided, the door slowly opened, and a handsome young man with blond hair and golden eyes slowly got out of the car.

And when the blonde young man came down, many tourists in the vicinity subconsciously looked at him, and just by looking at it, they remembered each other thoroughly, and it is estimated that they will have a considerable impression of him for a long time in the future.

It was a very handsome young man, with a pair of black sunglasses hanging on his forehead, a dark blue slim blazer on the outside, a white silk shirt underneath, the neckline was open to slightly expose the collarbone, there was a black silk tie tied lightly at the collar of the shirt, below the tie, a silver tie clipped to the tie, and a pair of slim black trousers underneath.

A typical rich boy dress, combined with his blonde hair and the warm smile on his face, it is easy to make people feel good.

At this moment, the young man's left hand, which looked like a high-tech watch, was flashing orange.

[Mission diary has been updated-]

[Pansy Jane's intelligence officer has sorted out the relevant information and distributed it to the operation directory, I have planned the mission itinerary in order, and the three-headed crisis [financial beast] is lodged in the casino you are currently in; According to the investigation of the Territorial Authority, these three crisis [financial beasts] lodged on the bodies of three high-ranking Monte Carlo officials, thus inducing bureaucratic harm in the region——]

[Bureaucratic hazard, which is another social hazard that comes with the Financial Street, affects the entire social system so that a particular entity that commits a crime or violates the rules is not considered guilty.] It does not affect its subjects at the baseline level of mima or cognitohazards, but rather on the deep bureaucratic and semiotic structures that are indifferent to cognition, and manifest themselves in the form of enacting acts that are anti-ethical, but perfectly legal. ]

[Here's an example of what has happened in the past: The Bizarre Children Act: Children (1~6 years old) who have been separated from their parents/guardians will be forcibly detained until the parents/guardians pay a change fine on the spot, or undergo laser follicle surgery to permanently remove the eyebrows (this act is enforced, and no one in the country finds it unethical). ]

[The Ministry of Social Research recently checked and found a financial scandal in Monte Carlo: the Monte Carlo Financial Regulator Scandal]

Monte Carlo's financial regulator was in the grip of a serious corruption and abuse of power. A well-known international investment firm has been investigated by regulators for conducting legitimate business in Monte Carlo. However, the investigation gradually revealed the shady scenes within the regulator; Senior officials are suspected of taking bribes, giving green lights to specific companies, and covering up irregularities.

At the same time, Monte Carlo enacted a number of bizarre laws to forcibly evict the company's related personnel, leaving behind the company's high-end equipment, and detaining some elite talent.

These programs were enforced, and at the same time, the crisis began to spread throughout the Monte Carlo system, and the entire social system began to decline in efficiency across the board, with lagging decision-making and barriers to innovation.

[According to the statistics of the Ministry of Social Research, if it continues to be left unchecked, Monte Carlo will usher in drastic changes within three months, and finally the government will announce its resignation, and society will undergo drastic changes——]

Xia Xiu listened to [Adam] repeat the content in his own mind, and at the same time rejected the invitation of several beautiful ladies, and headed in the direction of the casino.

"Didn't Fran and the peacekeepers move on their side? Moreover, did the Central Alliance not issue a reprimand to Addisi? At least let them send federal agents to assist in supervision, this kind of thing should not be done by us, they should be more concerned about the social harm of [Financial Street] than we do. He asked [Adam] in his mind.

[The Franco-government wants Monte Carlo to reorganize the government and replace it with someone more suitable, and the current government in the region is close to the prince's faction, (Monte Carlo is led by the prince. The prince is the head of state of the country and has some political power. They want a more obedient government to come to power—]

[As for the Addison Federation.] Their federal agents got into a fight with the [Salvation Army], and many of the federal agents were killed by the [Salvation Army], and what was supposed to be a regulatory investigation turned into a hunt for revenge—]

"What about the Homeland Security Agency?"

[Entangled with [the Relief Society], and with the three high-ranking officials who caused the danger, and several representatives of the Security Service were caught up in civil strife; In the territory of Monte Carlo, some of the Daevite Cogwheel Orthodox Church personnel have also been found, who seem to be engaged in some unknown social movement-]

"Tsk, the locals are really good at playing, the government is going to be reorganized, and they are busy beating their own people."

At this time, Xia Xiu had already taken the elevator to the casino.

Because there are a few old women who have been plotting against each other to rub oil, he habitually renders [Presence Weakening Mimusu] by his side, and at the same time, his hands began to check the officials involved who are going to deal with today.

[Chief Regulator: Francis Delacroix occupies this key position and is responsible for the overall operations and policy development of the regulator.] He wielded extensive influence within the institution, but he became embroiled in power struggles as his power was contested by some internal forces. At the same time, he is also one of the three [Financial Beasts] who are known to be the [Block-K] that lives on him. ]

[Delacroix was a frequent haunt of the Casino de Monte Carlo, and according to available information, he had close ties to a group [of The Salvation Army] that had been by his side and provided close security services.] ]

"K, one of the kings. I remember that it did like to lodge on the treasurer, the chief priest, the chief justice, the consul, the procurator, the dictator, and so on, and he gathered great power in one body, and he wielded the axe of violence and plundered everything wantonly. At the same time, it is also the most brilliant diplomat, and it always finds good allies. ”

Ding——

At this time, the elevator had already arrived at its destination, and Xia Xiu got off the elevator.

The doors of the casino are open and you are greeted by a beautiful lobby. Tall marble colonnades, ornate chandeliers, and gilded decorations create an atmosphere of dignity and solemnity. The interior of the casino is designed in a French court style, with intricate patterns and ornate furnishings showing a noble lifestyle.

The blonde young man walked into the casino, picked up a glass of wine casually, and strolled through the casino, his golden eyes reflected the phenomenon of drunk gold fans in the casino.

"I'm killing all the boarders now, those [financial beasts] are estimated to be re-parasitic, killed and re-lodged, this kind of conceptual beast that is rooted in human society is really difficult to deal with. Luckily, I was able to "catch" them, and I didn't expect to be able to contain them for long, I just needed a little time, a little time to clear the clutter from Monte Carlo, I just needed them to be quiet for a while. ”

He really only needed a little time, as long as he quickly calmed down the heads of all the spoilers in Monte Carlo, and most of the problem was solved.

He raised his glass and took a sip and looked at the two waste beasts that were common in casinos.

Spades-10 and Hearts-1.

The three-headed crisis [financial beast] mentioned by [Adam] certainly does not refer to these two "mascots".

Wearing a gorgeous red dress, a peaked top hat with red feathers on it, a playing card in his right hand, and a golden cane in his left hand, the [Spades-10] will only play with the conceptual authority of [Luck Turn], and it is also extremely dependent on the notarity of the casino.

The higher the notarization of a casino, the less luck [Spades-10] can play, and the lower the notarization of the casino, the fewer people will naturally go, which makes [Spades-10] feel very embarrassed.

Luck is such a thing, he doesn't even understand it himself.

As for [Heart-1], it is the mascot of mascots.

The fat tiger, who is three times larger than the current world, floats on top of the slot machine all day long, napping, and strange bubbles come out of his huge nostrils, which are exactly his ability - [Ukiyo Dream].

The bubbles exude the addictive gambling virus and sweet dreams, causing gamblers to step by step towards the abyss of gambling.

From a far-reaching point of view, it is indeed very harmful, but for the angels who violently enforce the law, these two evil beasts are real mascots, and they are beaten every day, which is a recognized fact.

[Heart-1] was also made into a casino mascot and puppet by the merchants of the Addison Federation, and Xia Xiu had a bunch of cute [Heart-1] puppets on his left, which was still free, and many people regarded it as a specialty of the casino and took it home.

However, how much of this wants to "whitewash" and entertain the crime can only be seen.

When Xia Xiu looked at [Red Heart-1], the big tiger who was floating on the slot machine and sleeping suddenly shuddered, and the bubbles that kept bubbling on his nostrils suddenly exploded with a "poof".

Suddenly, the tiger's body shuddered violently, as if enveloped by a chill. Its deep breathing became rapid and unstable, as if some uneasy premonition was welling up in its mind. Its eyes flashed with vigilance for a moment, and its pupils contracted sharply, exuding an indescribable alertness.

[Heart-1]'s brain seemed to be awakened in an instant, it awoke from its slumber, its limbs tensed, and the muscles of its whole body seemed to be filled with strength in an instant. Its ears erected, scanning its surroundings alertly, looking for the possible threat.

"It's quite alert, and every time it hits a casino, it's the fastest." Xia Xiu shook his head and smiled.

These small fish and shrimp are not his main targets, his targets are Francis Delacroix, who is resting in the private room of the casino, and the [Salvation Army] next to him.

"Now, it's time to get down to business."

The blond-haired young man's golden eyes looked at a private room on the top floor of the casino, and two young men were standing outside the private room.

a boy who looked fifteen or sixteen years old, chewing gum, looking at a fourth-order Rubik's cube, and wearing a red hood; A girl in her early eighteenth year, with blonde hair in dreadlocks, short sleeves, and tattoos carved on her bare arms, dressed up in society.

"That's [The Salvation Army]... This is a group of self-proclaimed different from the world, a little kid who is not deeply involved in the world, who causes trouble all day long with extraordinary objects, and who prides themselves on saving the world, and gives me a workload every day. ”

"Sure enough, the bear child is the most troublesome."

Xia Xiu, the social animal, walked in the direction of the two above with a complaint, and the watch in his left hand began to flash orange more rapidly.

[LOG BEGINS-]

********

At this time, on the other side of the casino, outside the private room of Francis de la Croix.

"Windsor, there is no such thing as a [indulgence] with simpler conditions, I also want to play with the whole [indulgence], playing the Rubik's Cube for eight hours a day, it's difficult." Chewing gum and playing with the fourth-order Rubik's Cube, Martin said to Windsor, who was carefully guarding on the side, with an envious expression.

"The three conditions of forgiveness required for [Mind and Hypocrisy]:

-

Honest repentance: The redeemer is required to repent honestly every day, acknowledging and reflecting on past hypocrisy.

-

Good deeds: The redeemer needs to make up for his or her previous hypocrisy through good deeds in order to reveal his true self.

-

Purity of heart: The Atonement is to be honest, truthful, and upright in his heart.

Can you do all three? If you can't, the progress of the door will go up like crazy, and when it reaches 100%, the ticket holder will become a monster, and you've seen those monsters before, that's disgusting, I don't want to see you like that, the priest (priest) is not so easy to be. ”

Windsor glanced at Martin, and then subconsciously touched the tattoo on his left hand to reply to the other party.

"But it's really tiring to play the Rubik's Cube every day, the Pope doesn't know what to think, he gave me this Rubik's Cube, to use it must be three days in advance, play eight hours a day, and reset it after fighting, and after the reset, it will randomly refresh me in the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth orders... Martin said as he continued to spell the Rubik's Cube weakly.

"[Imprisoned Rubik's Cube] is very powerful, and you're the champion of the Rubik's Cube race. In terms of blindly solving the Rubik's Cube, one-handed Rubik's Cube, etc., it's basically difficult for anyone to compare with you, and those guys with strange parts in the [Inspection Department] a few days ago weren't all instantly imprisoned, and I want to say..."

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Windsor's heart began to beat violently. Fear came over me like a tidal wave. She tried to turn and flee, but her legs seemed to be bound by a stone and she couldn't move. She felt that huge gaze watching her, and an unspeakable fear enveloped her, like an invisible hand grabbing her throat.

There was a huge tearing pain in Windsor's left hand.

Run, run!!

This is... [Indulgence] power activated, [Hypocrisy] ability is [Breaking Falsehood, Seeing Truth], and [Crisis Feedback].

Now, there's something horrible about the truth that is approaching this way.

"Martin, activate the Rubik's Cube, immediately, immediately !!"

Windsor's heart-rending horror resounded throughout the casino.
