Chapter 1 Morgan's Letter (2 in 1)(1/2)
The heavy rain has not stopped yet.
Not far away, the accumulated water was constantly broken by raindrops, causing the neon lights to reflect a beautiful brilliance.
"Ha...ha...uh..."
She woke up from coma for the third time and gasped violently.
The blood stuck in her throat, causing her to cough several times before she recovered.
The roaring sound of rain intertwined with the ringing in her ears, giving her the illusion that she was being surrounded from all directions.
But that's just an illusion.
She pushed herself up with difficulty.
Her long black hair was wet from the rain and clung to the back of her body, which was only wearing a white vest.
The diluted blood on the back was intertwined with sweat and rain, spreading on the tight vest, dyeing it a dull red. The open wound became swollen and purple under the soaking of the rain. It was already infected.
And I'm afraid it will become inflamed.
The chip on the back of her neck is constantly reminding her that her body is in an endangered state.
Red light kept flashing at the edge of her vision, and a harsh warning sounded in her ears... Thanks to these warnings, she didn't faint directly in the heavy rain.
He was about to die.
She knew this very well.
But there was no fear in her eyes.
She completely ignored the chip's reminder that "it is sending an assistance signal to the nearby execution department" and crossed out the friendly reminder "please choose a doctor in the nearby area", and hung up the emergency call that the chip made on its own initiative.
.
She exhaled the virtual panel, and her right hand, which was trembling due to blood loss, quickly typed on the keyboard that only appeared in her field of vision, and began to send a text message to someone.
Soon, her eyesight dimmed.
A tall figure appeared in front of her, blocking the neon light in front of her.
The heavy rain fell on him, and he was immersed in it like an illusion, disappearing into thin air.
Because there was no light behind her, even if she tried her best to raise her head, she could only see a dark shadow.
"Have you finished writing your last words?"
A cold voice sounded.
She waved her hand to turn off the screen, raised her head and looked at the visitor.
"Are you going to take action?"
She asked in a hoarse voice, word for word.
"Looks like it's finished."
The man said calmly, casting his indifferent eyes at the seriously injured girl in front of him.
1202, July 31, Saturday 9:00 am.
Russell was woken up by an alarm clock playing brisk electronic music.
The alarm clock played directly in the brain through the chip is the most efficient music to wake up without causing long-term mental damage.
"Wake-up music" and "sleep-aid music" themselves are the "Happy Life" series of technologies developed by Tianen Group... But in Russell's view, the greatest value of this thing is that it allows him to ruin one less song.
He yawned and rolled around on the bed. He closed his eyes and turned off the alarm clock and opened Tian'en Daily, listening to Miss Bai Xue's soft voice.
"Ah, it's still about the Lower City area..."
Russell murmured in confusion.
Generally speaking, Tian En Daily starts at 6:30 am and ends at 7:00 am every day.
But there is a replay at nine o'clock... This is why Russell gets up at nine o'clock every day.
If it were normal, he would have been up by now.
However, I have something important to do tonight and I have to go out, so I will probably have to stay up late. Why not take a nap and get some sleep...
It has been more than a month since Russell got his third mask.
In the past half month, the pressure from the media regarding Delphinium's bombing of the factory in Xiacheng District has been reduced a lot. Russell has been interviewed three times in the past half month, each of which was not directly related to that incident.
It is also possible that as the new incident becomes more and more intense, people have forgotten about it.
It was a week ago that the mages held a gathering in Crystal Skeleton City. However, the people present were not just missing Quanzhou and Maze... but there were only a pitiful six people left in total.
I don't know if the remaining people haven't arrived at Crystal Skeleton City in a month, or if they don't plan to come and have decided to go it alone.
Of course, it is also possible that he is dead.
After Paradise Bird joined the Cyber Church and became a bishop...for some reason, the board of directors suddenly relented and let the angels into the lower city.
In the past half month, the company has no longer dispatched enforcement departments to Xiacheng District, but the gangs and mages in Xiacheng District have become even more miserable.
The executive team that used to stay at each other's side and fight every day in those hectic days was suddenly replaced by an angel team that showed no mercy and was determined to eliminate evil at any cost.
Gangs throughout Xiacheng District have entered a stage of contraction. In the past half month, the frequency of robberies, rapes, shootings, kidnappings and other vicious incidents has been reduced by three-quarters.
Likewise, as the angels destroyed a large number of factories, prices in the uptown area continued to rise.
Compared with the same period last month, prices in Shangcheng District have generally increased by more than 30%, and some commodities have begun to be in short supply island-wide. Although Tianen Group began to urgently mobilize supplies to other islands, but that
The price is directly increased at a rate of five to six times to seven to eight times.
However, the reduction of a large number of vicious incidents cannot stop people's complaints.
Just as the "godfathers" of the past had predicted: it was no longer the executive department and the company that were burned, but the church and angels. There was also a demonstration against the angels' settlement on the floating island.
Russell and the bad ones did take action once... Because the 30% increase in prices across the island coupled with the insufficient supply is actually very scary. Some companies directly cannot obtain raw materials because of this, or the capital chain is broken.
As a result, many people lost their jobs and were forced to move into "secondary jobs." Coupled with the "happiness test" problem caused by anxiety, it even directly gave birth to a demon that has not yet been fully hatched.
Although prices only increased by 30%, when it was finally reflected in some families, the cost of living increased by far more than 30%.
According to Russell's prediction of public opinion, the pressure of public opinion on the church has reached its limit.
People are extremely harsh on the original "helpers" around them, and just one mistake can be magnified several times. Not to mention, they have actually caused the lives of more than 40 million people in the urban area of Xingfu Island to be affected...
Even if the unemployment rate is only 0.8%, it means that at least more than 300,000 families have suffered misfortune.
If you add in the 200,000 people in Xiacheng District who are being annihilated and massacred by angels, that is the resentment of at least one million people. More than 80% of them have chips and can vent their anger online at any time.
Even if the angel's will to annihilate the mage is strong enough... the mortals in the church cannot bear this kind of mental pressure.
They may even be attacked by relatives and friends just because they work in the church.
These clergymen working in the church are basically voluntary jobs. As mentioned before, the work here has no income at all and no future.
For those priests who have not yet awakened the power of Holy Orders, they basically work for the recognition, smiles, and happiness of others.
This pure and real resentment, which cannot even be pointed out or escaped, is too strong a shock to them.
If they cannot bear the pressure and leave the church in large numbers, the Cyber Church will not only become a joke, but will also lose a lot of its authority and persuasiveness, and will not be able to occupy a dominant position in negotiations with the Tian'en Group.
At most, it won’t be until early August, or even mid-August, that the church will be unable to withstand the pressure and take back the angels and freeze them again.
By then, the company will happily pick peaches.
The worst groups in the lower city will be swept away by the angels repeatedly. The angels gathered in small groups attack the mages and illegal psykers, just like helicopter gunships licking the infantry. The opponents have almost no ability to resist because there are some angels assigned in Happy Island.
A "sublime one" who can give other angels the ability to fly... so this is what happened in the end.
As the people's hatred of angels deepens, they can't help but anger the church... Relatively speaking, the company's right to speak has increased; and these organizations that have been crippled by angels will soon
It cannot be slowed down. After the Angels evacuate, the factory is rebuilt, and prices stabilize and recover, it will become a situation where "the new actions of the Executive Department in recent months have effectively reduced the crime rate in Xiacheng District."
He still has to thank us.mp3
Before that, Russell really had no job to speak of.
Even the execution department next door has started a rare vacation... which can probably be regarded as a break.
Although at the beginning of the month, Bad Day told Russell that nothing would happen on the day at the end of the month.
But after Russell saw the calendar clearly, he breathed a sigh of relief.
The 31st is a Saturday.
Theoretically, the Special Execution Department has one day off per week, but in reality it only takes one and a half days off.
On Saturday, I have to go to the company to sign in before noon, and then have a free and sumptuous lunch in the staff canteen before heading home after get off work.
Although it doesn't matter where you go to play... for Russell, it doesn't make much difference during the holidays. He would rather play games in the office. At least he can chat with Delphinium when he is tired.
It would be too lonely when you are at home alone.
He even walked around the Tower of Babel headquarters twice without any trouble, but still didn't meet anyone except the deer-headed statue.
As he calmly waits for the end of this month, Russell has already cleared four large games in the office.
He even made a card game before and wanted to play cards with Delphinium.
To be continued...
