Chapter 1465 Lost Hearts (Part 1)

"I used to be like you, with a heart full of justice, and I wanted to bring salvation and hope to those who lived hard in Jiangbei District..." As he spoke, he climbed up the stairs of the apartment and walked along the corridor go inside.

The street outside was in ruins, and so was the apartment. There are black plastic boxes full of rubbish in the corner, cigarette butts and empty wine bottles are thrown everywhere, and there are dry marks left by various liquids dripping on the wall, as well as cracks that are not deep or shallow.

There was a stench in the air, the smell of bad cigarettes, spirits, human bodies, spoiled food, swill...

The sound of mahjong playing came from the nearest room, and shreds of tobacco floated out from the crack of the door and swam under the light.

Those who lost money cursed, and those who won money laughed... However, Tang Fang fell into Tang Fang's ears. He didn't feel kind to mahjong, a unique cultural heritage in his hometown, on the contrary, he was very repulsive.

In the room, not only the mahjong tiles are colliding, but also the sound of poker falling on the hard surface, the sound of exhaling smoke, and the sound of belching.

Sandro Sid stood outside the door, letting the poor-quality smoke spread like a cloud to cover his face.

"Twelve years ago, my son was born and my wife suffered from postpartum depression. Their yelling and yelling kept her and the baby from sleeping. I came here and asked them to be quiet, but I was full of boxing and discounted nose because someone said I made him lose money."

"Do you know...some people will lose a month's salary in a few hours, and then go home to vent their anger on their wives and children, or rob travelers passing by with alcohol and smoke all over their bodies."

"As for the ones who won the money, maybe they got drunk and vomited all over the hallway, maybe they went to the nearest pub and threw that money in the belly of a woman."

"There are still some people..." When he said this, he stood outside the door of the second room.

The sound of dancing and singing came from inside, but it was not pleasant, and there was a taste of hysteria.

The door was not closed properly, and Sandro Sid opened it with a slight push.

Tang Fang walked over, and through the dim light of the room, he saw two men hugging each other and twisting their bodies, and beside him lay a ****-woman on the dirty sofa, with a joyful smile on her face, mouthing panting.

On the ground next to the sofa were syringes and vomit, and on the dirty carpet farther away was a baby under one year old, crawling slowly with his short hands and feet.

Sandro Syd didn't finish his sentence because he didn't need it. The scene before him perfectly explained what he wanted to say next.

He continued on, until he came to the third room.

There were women's screams and men's roars, and then the sound of tableware falling on the ground and cabinets falling.

"Will you scratch a woman's face with a knife to prevent her from having an affair with a street gangster who sells DU-products?" He turned his head, looked at Tang Fang and Tang Lin and said, "He will..."

"He" refers to the man in the house, and "woman" refers to the woman in the house.

The fourth room is empty, nothing.

"When I left Jiangbei District, there was an old woman living alone in this room. Her eyesight was bad and she couldn't see things one meter away. At that time, I would think that the guide dogs in the room were better than her three The children must be reliable. The guide dog disappeared in the second year after I left. It is said that it was poisoned to death by the wandering teenagers in the front block because it would bark and bark in the middle of the night, which was very annoying. In the third year, the old woman He was found hanged in his room, his body was highly decomposed and exuded a strong stench."

Kudelia couldn't help shivering, feeling that there were still ghosts lingering in the room chanting the name of the guide dog.

Sandro Sid walked to the fifth room, looked at the old lock and said, "This room has never been inhabited. It hasn't been in the past, and it probably won't be in the future..."

He walked up the stairs at the bottom of the corridor to the second floor, stood in front of the first room, looked at the alloy door covered with dust and the pair of tattered leather shoes next to it,

Said: "A thief lived here eight years ago... well, he never steals from rich people, only women and children."

A self-propelled wheelchair was placed at the door of the second room, which looked dirty, with dirt and blood.

"Eight years have passed...I heard that Victoria's business has become better." He looked back at Tang Fang and said, "Do you know what kind of business she is in? Begging! It's just that she used to beg for herself, but now there are more A handicapped little grandson works together, but I don’t know where this little grandson came from. It is said that one eye is blind, one hand is crippled, and one leg is broken..."

He spoke very calmly, without impassionedness, and without hesitation or sighing. However, these words fell into Roas's ears, but there was no reason to feel chills.

There was a scream in the room, which sounded like a child being beaten and scolded.

"Seeing that Victoria still has a lot of strength to live, I feel relieved." Sandro Sid continued to walk forward.

Tang Fang looked at the dilapidated wheelchair with complicated emotions. Should he lament how life turns people into ghosts, or should he resent the meanness and viciousness of the old woman? Or do you despise the harm she has done to the few goodness left in this world?

Sandro Sid's voice came from ahead: "When Morse was young, he worked in a mining company. He was considered a small boss. He flattered his superiors and made things difficult for his subordinates. In your words, he is a loyal Dog. However, one day he got drunk and ignored the persuasion of the people around him to operate the mining machine, which eventually resulted in the death of two workers. The people he was loyal to did not try to exonerate him, but kicked him away. So Morse spent five years in prison, and after he was released from prison, he came to Jiangbei District to help people violently collect debts for a living."

Then he continued to walk forward: "Pointing to a locked door, the owner of this room is a couple who usually do some small business on the road close to the main road. No one would go to them for consumption, because they all know that this couple is good at shoddy goods, and they are short of money. They really don’t steal or rob, they are cheating, and the targets... Most of the time are passers-by. It seems After saving some money in the past few years, the whole family moved to the south bank of the Ryder River."

Sandro? Sid continued to go upstairs... Tang Fang hesitated and followed.

The mayor who came out of the slum this time did not go door to door to explain what kind of people lived in it, what kind of history it had, and what kind of story it was. He walked forward for a while, and suddenly stopped in front of a half-closed door.

He looked up at the moon hanging high in the night sky and the distant stars, and said to himself: "As the mayor of Bogda City, I have been away from Jiangbei District for eight years, but it does not mean that I have completely ignored this land. To put it mildly, I know better than anyone what's going on in a three-kilometre radius, especially in this apartment building."

"Calculate the time, it has already begun."

He looked back at Tang Fang and said, "Bogda City TV has a talk show today, I think it's necessary for you to watch it."

Tang Fang frowned, and said in a cold voice, "Does this have anything to do with your affairs?"

Sandro Sid said: "Not only does it have something to do with me, it has something to do with everyone in Jiangbei District."

Hearing what he said, including Pino Ebar, Rojas, Tang Lin, and Wald, they all frowned involuntarily.

Tang Fang took a deep breath, raised his right wrist, and pressed his fingers on the key points of the mobile video device, following beams of blue light to shoot out, a holographic three-dimensional image was outlined in midair.

Just like what Sandro Sid said, Bogda City TV is broadcasting a talk show live.

Speaking of which, the topic of this talk show is very sharp and sensitive --- Is it necessary to reform the system of the Phoenix Empire?

From the theme of this program, it is not difficult to see that Virginia Alexander decided to carry out structural reforms to the Phoenix Empire and reuse a series of measures by young politicians like Marlo Smith, which have spread in the Monya Empire and caused a lot of controversy. Great response.

Surprisingly, the Bogda TV station showed a relatively open-minded attitude in this matter. It dared to be the first person to eat crabs and invited some famous political critics to stand on the podium to explain their views on Virginia Alexander. Insights into the big move to reform the political TI system.

Why do you say that this topic is very sharp and sensitive? Although the internal environment of the Phoenix Empire is very different from that of the Mongya Empire, for example, Virginia Alexander is in a very bad situation now, unlike Kirkcraft I, who has a monopoly on power. For example, factions with different political opinions in the country are facing each other. Serious internal friction... However, there may be many differences in the details of the political TI system, but they are very close in terms of the composition of interest groups and class divisions.

Discussing whether there is a need for political TI system reform in the Phoenix Empire is to some extent discussing whether there is a need for political TI system reform in the Mongya Empire.

From this point of view, the talk show on Bogda City TV station is not only sensitive, but also bold.

It not only touched the nerves of those in power, but also touched the nerves of all the people, so whether it is through TV channels or Internet channels, many people in Brady Star are paying attention to the progress of the program.

After the host introduced the chaotic situation within the Phoenix Empire, he began to ask several commentators present, asking them to talk about their views on Virginia Alexander's determination to reform the political TI system.

Not surprisingly, some people say that this is Virginia? Alexander was forced to help. He who is in a disadvantaged position can only obtain wider support from the society in this way.

Some people also said that Marlo Smith might have coerced Virginia Alexander into making a reform decision. You must know that man was the governor of Alcassia in the Babylonian star system of the Star Alliance for many years. The unique social culture and ideological influence of the Star Alliance have turned them into staunch reformers.

...

In short, these people began to express their opinions, and the host will also upload the essence of messages collected from the Internet to the big screen for more people to see, so as to strengthen the interaction between the stage and the audience.

This is just the starting topic of the talk show, definitely not the climax topic. As the conversation deepened, the host guided, intentionally or unintentionally, gradually leading the rising guests to the key issue of whether the Phoenix Empire should reform the political TI system, and whether it would be beneficial.

Two guests reacted quickly, became restrained and cautious, and chose to answer the abbot's question with ambiguous words.

However, there is a man named Madison Lebo who doesn't know whether he is slow or brave, and he speaks very frankly. He said that he admired Earl Marlo Smith very much. He was able to stand in the power field of the people of the whole country to promote the cause of reform. He was not afraid of stubborn forces like Ingrid Alexander and Kursk Alexander. He fought for dreams and hopes. , fighting for what is right, like another man in the Covenant.

He didn't say the other person's name, but as long as anyone who is interested in watching this column stands in front of the TV, he knows who that person is, what his name is, where he comes from, and what he has done.

He said that no matter how dark the night is, it cannot stop the dawn. Those who cry out for the weak, fight for power for the poor, and shed blood for the oppressed are the real heroes of this world and the hope of the entire human race. Not those vampires who hold power and play with people's hearts.

His impassioned speech pushed the show to a climax, and the conversation among the guests also showed disagreements and gunpowder.

A guest said that the Star Alliance, the demon that spreads fear everywhere, has no Marlo Smith's openness.

A guest said that the surnamed Tang is a barbarian who kills but doesn’t bury him. He always puts on a hypocritical appearance of respecting himself and others. In fact, he imposes his own ideas and political opinions on others. He is a complete spiritual tyrant. .

A guest wanted to be a peacemaker, and reminded the audience that what was being discussed was about the Phoenix Empire, not what happened in the Star Alliance society, and it had nothing to do with what that kid surnamed Tang had done or advocated.

Where there is a peacemaker, there is a provocateur, who accused Madison Ryder of treating an enemy of the country as a hero, an insult to the entire nation, and a blasphemy of national honor.

Madison Lebow was not afraid of verbal attacks from people around him. He said: "What are you afraid of? Are you afraid of what I say? You are afraid of even words...you are not allowed to say words...you are like Like those nobles, they seem to be able to cover the sky with one hand and hold power, but in fact they are contemptible cowards... Don't speak of condemnation, even the words of criticism are terribly afraid of you."

"There are some things that someone has to stand up and say... stand up and tell this country that under the ravages of battleship gunfire and leather whips, people who are used to cowardice and resignation, the blood of martyrs is still passed on, and the torch of hope is still passed on... ..."

A guest left his seat, stood in front of Madison Leibo and said loudly: "Your so-called hero is playing hide-and-seek with those bugs. Your so-called real warrior doesn't even have the courage to fight against Mengya. Even if he dares to come, Mengya Ya Wanqianqianqianqianqianqianqianqianqianqianqianqianqianqianqianqianqianqian will not hesitate to throw his head and blood to protect his homeland and prevent that devil from stepping into the country."

Thanks for the glass smashing reward.
