Chapter 778 Before Dawn

As far as the eye could see, everything was covered in heavy rain.

But the earth was obviously covered with rain, but the light gray clouds were burned red by the fire.

There were cries and loud noises in the distance. Huaishi stood on the messy street, staring tiredly at everything in front of her.

The entire Danbo inner circle was gradually collapsing in flames. Even if I tried my best to release all the hell swarms, I could only protect a few small blocks behind me.

Less than five thousand people...

There are more places that he can no longer take care of.

But now, in front of him, on the street after the fighting, there was only wailing.

Among the rubble and collapsed ruins, suppressed cries continued to sound.

"Doctor! Where is the doctor?"

The unkempt woman walked barefoot on the street, looking around blankly, trying her best to carry her husband on her back, crying hoarsely, seeing Huai Shi, as if she had found hope, she rushed up, staggered, and fell to the ground. The ground got up again.

"Save him, please save him... Mr. Huazhi, please..."

She knelt on the ground and knelt and begged vigorously, ignoring the stones on the ground that scratched her beautiful face: "I will repay you with my whole life, Mr. Huaizhi, please, please..."

However, the man in her arms was already dead.

Lost breath.

Huai Shi closed her eyes as she gradually lost her strength in begging.

"I'm sorry," he said. "There's nothing I can do."

The woman froze on the spot, looking at him blankly. For a long, long time, her expectant expression fell apart.

A little bit of rickets went down.

Holding her deceased husband in her arms, she screamed in pain.

"Why, I obviously took out all the money... I can do whatever I want... Why can't I let him go... We obviously didn't do anything!!!"

Until the end, even the strength to cry had been lost.

She stood up numbly, carefully picked up her husband who was not breathing, kissed his cheek, and comforted softly: "Don't be afraid, I will be with you, you will be fine soon... soon..."

No one responded.

She choked silently, staggered away, and never looked back.

The mourning is so high-pitched, but the despair is silent...

Huai Shi stood there.

Lift your head and look at the sky.

There was a thunderous reverberation in the distant sky, and a dark shadow quickly emerged. Amidst the low vibrations in the air, it gradually approached and cast a beam of cold light from the highest point.

It illuminates the darkness that fire cannot illuminate.

It was as if God was looking down on the earth full of pain, but the light was so cold that it never wavered, just looked down indifferently.

On several helicopters, behind the searchlights, photographers carrying cameras took pictures of the chaotic streets and bloody conflicts from high in the air.

The images from the camera are continuously transmitted to the studio.

Behind him, Ueno, who was wiping the wound on his face, suddenly changed his expression. He grabbed the phone from his subordinate's hand and said, "Boss, it's not good. Look, look at this..."

On your mobile phone, the TV station’s emergency news broadcast...

On the picture of decay and ruin in the inner circle of Tamba, subtitles are constantly scrolling. But the signal was too unstable to see clearly, and could only be vaguely distinguished.

Police identity checks...a large number of illegal immigrants from Damba District...armed conflicts...

Even the most eye-catching [riot]!

Just above the screen, on the outside of Damba's inner circle, a large number of poor people who were not even fully clothed were pushing hard, trying to escape from the chaotic neighborhood behind them.

But at the edge of the intersection, roadblocks had already been erected.

The heavily armed police held up large shields and coldly pushed back the surging crowd, and then threw smoke bombs at the crowd.

Under the impact of high-pressure water cannons, the surging crowd collapsed and scattered...

In the silence, the screen suddenly fell silent for a moment, and then switched back to the live broadcast room.

The serious-looking news anchor sat upright and said: "It is reported that behind this organized riot by illegal immigrants there is a leader of violent organizations and terrorist organizations... We have obtained information about the leader from the police... "

On the screen, photos appeared one after another.

Familiar faces appear one after another.

Born Tenme Sosuke, Chiba Ryuuji, Kamishiro Mirai, and even one of the final messengers of the riot...

——The Amateur with Paper!

Under the illumination of searchlights in the sky, the camera perfectly overlooked everything on the earth, and finally turned to the man who indifferently raised his head and looked at the sky.

It's like looking through a searchlight and being able to see the camera hidden behind it.

He quietly stared at the live broadcast camera and slowly raised his hand.

Showed his middle finger.

The pitch-black birds screamed and rushed into the sky. The rising and falling waves of crows obscured the camera. The helicopter quickly began to turbulence and spin. As the altitude was forced to increase, the signal at the scene was cut off.

On the screen of the mobile phone, the camera has switched back to the live broadcast room. Two serious-looking experts began to discuss Yingzhou’s household registration system and illegal immigration...

Huaishi looked away and waved for Ueno to go back, and couldn't help but want to laugh.

What is this?

The undercover agent became a gang leader. In order to avoid the riots, he now became the main messenger of the riots.

This world is obviously so cruel, but sometimes it is as absurd as a fantasy novel.

In the silence, there was a sudden vibration in his arms.

His cell phone.

Confidential telephone access from the Astronomical Society.

It brings subtle impact again and again, a constant reminder.

But this was not the channel that Ai Qing originally used, but a strange call from another zone - directly through higher authority, forcibly replacing the original frequency band of Ai Qing, and sent a communication request.

It vibrated over and over again, and the red alert on the screen flashed.

Reminding him of the seriousness of the situation.

"Hello, who's there?" Huai Shi answered the phone.

He was answered by a deep voice that he had never heard before, hoarse and gloomy: "This is the head of the Yingzhou Branch of the Administrative Bureau - Rene Hanyu."

Huai Shi frowned.

It was not that he was shocked by the identity of the caller on the other end of the phone, but that he had an increasingly uneasy premonition.

The dignified head of the Yingzhou branch, the main person in charge of the Asian decision-making office of the command bureau in Yingzhou, actually bypassed Ai Qing and directly contacted a tool of his?

This is totally out of order.

Besides, Ai Qing is directly responsible to the Asia Decision-making Office of the Bureau, and the two parties are not in the same system at all. What does he want to do by contacting her?

Huaishi was silent for a moment and asked: "Should I call you Minister Hanyu or Minister Rene?"

"It doesn't matter what you call me. I'm only contacting you to inform you of one thing."

Rene Hanyu said: "Inspector Mr. Huaishi, I now issue a formal order to you in the name of the official name of the Yingzhou branch: stop all actions in the inner circle of Tamba and withdraw from Yingzhou."

He said, "Your mission is over."

"..."

In the long silence, Huai Shi froze in place.

transfixed.

"What... do you mean?" he asked.

"Literally, stop everything you are doing, put aside all relationships, leave Kyoto, and report to the Yingzhou branch. There will be a border express to London waiting for you. You can go back at noon today. To the Tower of Ivory..."

Before René could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Huai Shi.

No longer polite and calm on the surface, Huai Shi asked coldly: "You mean, you want me to just let go of what is happening in front of me?"

"This is not your business, Mr. Huaishi."

Hanyu retorted: "From the very beginning, this kind of interference mission that was not registered with the Yingzhou branch and without my permission has no legitimacy!

As a subordinate agency of the decision-making room, the Yingzhou Branch is not qualified to interfere with national sovereignty! "

"ha!"

Huaishi was amused and could hardly suppress her anger. She asked angrily: "Isn't it precisely because of the inaction of the Yingzhou branch that things have evolved to this extent?"

"Huaishi, this has nothing to do with you." Hanyu lost patience: "I reiterate one last time, Huaishi, stop all actions in the inner circle of Tamba and withdraw from Yingzhou before the Yingzhou government accuses the bureau of interfering with sovereignty."

Huai Shi's eyes became colder little by little.

"I'm sorry, Minister Hanyu, whether it is as a prosecutor of Xinhai in Dongxia or as a teacher of the Ivory Tower exchange group, you don't seem to have the ability or authority to order me."

He replied coldly: "I am not your subordinate, and I don't need to care about your orders."

"No, now I am."

Rene Hanyu said: "Five minutes ago, Ai Qing was suspended from her duties due to her overstepping of authority and refusal to cooperate with the investigation. You have been included in the dispatch scope of the Yingzhou Branch.

From just now to now, although I don't like what you are doing, I have always maintained enough restraint and politeness, hoping that you will not make everyone unhappy.

I don’t care what you do in my jurisdiction. If you ignore the warning, I have the right to arrest and arrest you for violations. I hope you will be safe...

"Then you come and fuck me!"

Huai Shi interrupted him and told him word for word: "Where is there so much nonsense? Do you also work part-time as an editor?

I'm here, Rene Hanyu, and I'm not going anywhere. If you're unhappy, why don't you hold it in? Do you really think anyone is fucking spoiling you?

waste--"

Before he could say anything else, Huai Shi dropped her cell phone, pulled out her pistol, and pulled the trigger repeatedly.

Until the final fragment on the ground, the outline of the phone could no longer be seen clearly.

In this brief silence, all the members of the paper-carrying group looked up in shock. They had never seen the group leader look so angry, like a wild beast, trying to kill something.

The terrifying murderous intention almost condensed into substance.

But it quickly dissipated again...

He regained his composure again, just turned around and whispered softly: "Take the people and let's go, Ueno."

"Where to go?" Ueno stood up and followed.

"Go where we need to go."

Huai Shi lowered her head, looked at the key left by Sheng Tianmu in her hand, and slowly held it tightly: "I really can't bear it anymore..."

The long night seemed to have no end, only the fire was burning and the sound of collapse spread.

Before dawn, the darkest time in the world.

The refugees huddled in the ruins heard the low footsteps coming from the distance. They hid uneasily in places where the light could not be found, and peeped fearfully.

But soon, accompanied by the sound of heavy vehicles driving, those footsteps got closer and closer.

Under the illumination of the car's roof lights, everything seemed to have turned into daylight, and the dense footsteps drowned out the heavy rain. Wherever he passed, all the sounds of struggle disappeared in an instant.

The soldiers, who were armed to the teeth, seemed to have gathered into an array, rushing straight into the inner circle of Danba, ruthlessly suppressing all unrest, and killing the Yakuza one by one.

When they saw the emblem representing the authority of the shogunate on their bodies, all the survivors froze in place and felt the sudden surprise.

General, the general's guard!

"Self-Defense Forces! The Self-Defense Forces are here!"

In the broken house, the old survivors were overjoyed and cheered ecstatically: "We are saved! We are saved!"

This nightmare night is finally over.

I don’t know how many people cried with joy.

But soon, they discovered something was wrong...

Right in front of them, those who came to save them stopped, slowly turned back, and looked at their faces.

The eyes behind the mask were cold.

The muzzle of the gun was slowly raised...

Pull the trigger.

At this moment, outside Kyoto, in a resort hotel built in the mountains.

Ai Qing sat in her luxurious suite, watching the live broadcast on the TV with an expressionless face, staring at the host's surprised expression and the good news that made the guests in the live broadcast room heave a sigh of relief.

I never got any happiness from them.

Instead, he no longer had the energy to sneer at this stupidity.

"Idiot, don't you understand yet..."

She closed her eyes.

Even if I have foreseen such a scene, I don’t want to look at those fake smiles on the screen again.

So, there is no inference that we can continue before restarting.

That night, on the embankment by the river, she never finished what she said to Liu Dongli - the inference she made from Liu Dongli's own mistakes.

Those truths that he had never revealed to others in order to avoid too much disturbance...

He was indeed right. For the inner circle of Dambo, the Astronomical Society cannot be trusted.

The Astronomical Society has never cared about the life or death of hybrids...

To be precise, allowing these beast-like people with abyssal characteristics to continue to live is a rare mercy after weighing all the pros and cons.

And Liu Dongli's time jump just proves one thing - in the foreseeable future, the inner circle of Danba will become a threat to the current situation.

In Ai Qing's hand, the 'beacon' jumped again.

【33】.

This is the echo that remains on the timeline after the time jump.

As time goes by, its lingering sound solidified in the 'future' gradually comes to the present, is received by the beacon, and becomes proof that the Rainbow Bridge once operated.

Such an exaggerated number of time jumps can only prove one point. There are 'results' that cannot be undone by time jumps.

When thinking from this narrow perspective, the possibilities that remain become few and far between.

The possibility of Green Day triggering a war at home and at the border has been overturned and can be set aside.

Kamishiro's future use of Miyamoto's results, combined with the power of the immortal beast, created the existence of the 'Swamp Man', which verified her previous conjecture.

But if this is the case, then another problem arises: Even if the Swamp Man is the flesh of an immortal beast, it does not have the ability to prevent Liu Dongli from making a time jump.

The data provided by Cole, the head of the laboratory, proves that the future research of Shencheng has only just been completed.

If Liu Dongli wants to stop him, he has plenty of time...

But why didn't he succeed?

The answer is so obvious.

In addition to the immortal beast, there are also elements of destruction!

So, let’s start with the simplest elimination method…

Based on the analysis of all the basic information at hand, which element of destruction is most likely to appear in the inner circle of Damba?

The mass qualitative change of the essence has not occurred, the hybrid soul has not been transformed and still maintains its original appearance, and the Silver Sea has not detected the existence of harmful memes.

Then, ‘Bo Xun’ can be ruled out.

Although there are some extremes and distortions, there are still stable structures such as alliances among the hybrids. The vast majority of people still retain their sanity and have not deformed into a chaotic society.

Even though it is very morbid, this level is still within the normal range.

The interference of the ‘Element of Destruction: The Piper’ can be eliminated.

A week ago, the man in gray appeared in Egypt, and his uncontrollability would not stop because the other party was a hybrid, let alone a plot, which could also be ruled out.

Then, according to the favorite method of detectives in the original mystery novels, after eliminating all possibilities, what emerges is the only possibility.

A distorted society formed by long-term external pressure, the law of the jungle constructed purely by the law of the jungle...

Whose favorite altar will this be?

——What Liu Dongli is afraid of is the existence of ranchers!

At this moment, within the inner circle of Danbo, in addition to the immortal beast, there is also the interference and influence of the rancher!

This was the warning Ai Qing gave to the decision-making room in her previous secret report.

It did not live up to this heavy trust and expectation.

Within a short period of half a month, through her own observation and intelligence collection, Ai Qing had successfully completed the tasks assigned to her by the decision-making room.

But what if we extrapolate further?

Get rid of the confusing details and look at the overall situation of Yingzhou - looking at the entire Yingzhou several times, who has the rights, qualifications, such skill and patience to make the inner circle of Damba become like this step by step? What about status?

Who created all this?

three people.

The first one is René Hanyu, the minister of the Yingzhou branch; the second one is the emperor who is still sitting in the imperial palace; the third one is the general.

When the "swamp man syndrome" appeared, Ai Qing once doubted Rene, but soon she concluded again that Rene was just purely bureaucratic incompetent.

Perhaps in the upcoming interim meeting of the Five Permanent Representatives, he has seen that new conflicts will arise between the border faction and the sovereignty faction, and chose this political speculation.

But as a pure bureaucrat, Rene Hanyu may be good at pretending to be deaf and dumb, but he will never take the initiative to touch things that are enough to make him irrecoverable.

This is not an expectation of his integrity, but a trust in his bureaucratic instincts.

So, the emperor of Yingzhou?

impossible? Will the now weakened Yingzhou lineage have the courage to touch the bottom line of the Astronomical Society, try to grasp the law of the immortal beast, and capture the power of the rancher? Would an emperor who longed for another revival be unwise enough to collude with the elements of destruction?

Even if he is declining, he still has many chips in his hand. As long as he lives, he is the true master of the Yingzhou pedigree, and there is no need to risk it all.

Too stupid.

He was only fourteen and he could wait.

Then, in the end, there is only one result left...

Once the knight of the White House, now the ghost public.

The co-leader of the Yingzhou martial arts family—Douglas Arthur!

Think about it irresponsibly.

Since being exiled to this remote island country, for fifty years, the former fifth-level strongest has endured the constraints of the Yingzhou framework and been imprisoned on this narrow piece of land by the source code of the Yingzhou lineage.

Losing freedom, gradually indulge in sensuality, indulge in pleasure, live happier than anyone else in the world, live unhappy than anyone else...

When everyone thought he was old, he showed his claws so suddenly.

In order to smash the cage, he did not hesitate to allow the elements of destruction to be combined in Kyoto!

Is this possible?

When such a conjecture emerges from thinking, it can no longer be ignored.

If this is the truth, then the general's guards descending on Tamba's inner circle are the last straw that creates 'hell on earth'.

Now, the darkness between dawns is almost over, but the sun has not yet risen.

Under the gradually thinning heavy rain, the fire in the inner circle of Tamba gradually extinguished.

Also disappearing without a trace were the cries and sobs.

In this deathly silence, fierce dogs ravaged everywhere.

The massacre in the name of suppressing the riot has begun!

I have slept for four hours since yesterday, and my schedule is a bit out of balance. I originally planned to ask for leave, but I finally managed to write this crucial chapter.

Do you have a monthly pass?
