Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

A piece of confetti is flying in the air, passing through the crowd, reflecting bright red light in the sun. The confetti submerged in the alley is rolling in the wind. It falls to the ground and rises with the airflow flowing into the alley. There is no trace of it at all. Direction, following the air flow into the alley, passing through the deserted alleys.

Suddenly, accompanied by a violent gust of wind, the paper scraps flew upward, but when they approached the wall, they were held down by a finger.

"The time is just right!"

In front of him is a dilapidated wooden door, an old fortress-like building. The door is crookedly covered with various graffiti, and among the graffiti, a striking letter K can be seen.

"Sorry, I'm late."

K stuffed the scraps of paper into his suit pocket, opened the door and stepped in. Inside was a circular hall filled with many people wearing various clothes, and everyone stood up.

"It's Mr. K."

As one after another exclaimed, the people sitting on the old tables and chairs stood up excitedly, and K waved his hand.

Among this group of people, there were shop owners, shop waiters, workers, students, doctors and other professional people. Nearly 40 people came over.

"Sorry, I'm late for something."

"Mr. K, is the beer business OK?"

An old man in an old suit asked, and K nodded.

"good."

After a while, everyone sat down, and K smiled and put his hands together on the table.

"Now is a better time for us to issue a request."

K said and many people nodded and started talking about it.

"We will organize a protest at the door of the store in Section 13 tomorrow."

A waiter in a shop stood up and everyone else nodded.

"No matter what the outcome is, I hope you will clearly understand what you need to express your demands!"

"courage!"

A chorus of voices rang out, and K nodded, scanning everyone with serious eyes, and the strong-blooded faces showed perseverance.

"I wish you all good luck in advance!"

K stood up and bowed to everyone. Everyone stood up one after another. At this time, K reminded him again.

"Expressing demands lies in words, not violence. Please stay awake."

K smiled and looked at the people who were still discussing their demands for tomorrow's march. Everyone's faces were full of hope. K sighed helplessly.

As one of the important members of the Association for Protesting and Demanding Endeavors, K felt discouraged for a time after he was dismissed from his post in Section 2. It was at this time that he met a few people with whom he could get along well. At that time, he often I will follow those people to some gathering places to give some debates and speeches.

Occasionally, some protests and demonstrations are held against injustices in the city. From a few dozen people at the beginning, to hundreds or thousands of people now, Endeavor has deteriorated a bit.

People's emotions will undergo drastic changes under the influence of the environment, and emotions that have been suppressed for too long can easily be ignited, just like a powder keg storing a large amount of gunpowder.

When K learned about the last polyester riot in Cocos, he was unable to stop anything. The abbreviation of the Endeavor Association is KKK, which was founded by K and two other people starting with the letter K. The surge in the number of people represents the current situation. The number of people who are dissatisfied with the social structure is increasing.

The same was true for the original Districts 113 and 114. K had actually thought of it a long time ago. In addition to their Endeavor Association, there were also third-party forces involved. Those rioters ended up causing tragedies due to food problems. In the two districts, due to poisonous The number of illnesses caused by food is the largest.

"Please pay attention to your emotions and do not bring dangerous things to the scene, otherwise you will be arrested by the Criminal Investigation Department."

The city's laws allow demonstrations, but only in terms of speech and correctness. Once the demonstration turns into a conflict and riot, all participants will be arrested.

But over the years, many demonstrations of the Endeavor Association ended in bloody conflicts. But now this is no longer controllable by K. The huge and oppressed public opinion has begun to expand.

It will be dangerous to continue, but K will not stop, because he has also been involved in the huge public opinion. He likes excitement, and he likes these voices even more, because K knows very well that if one day there is no more opposition in this society sound, then this society is not far from the end.

In just a few hours, the voices in the city were divided into many factions. Some people felt that Le Xiao's approach was too risky, especially many people in the upper echelons. They fiercely criticized that doing so would bring stability and prosperity to the upper echelons. Bring huge impact.

Although people in the middle class are also speaking out, most people only care about their current lives. If prices fluctuate, their current lives will definitely be affected. Everyone is not optimistic about Lexiao's big-name construction of the lower class.

Looking at the cheerful faces, K knew very well that this was the best opportunity for these guys to speak out on behalf of the lower class. They only needed to speak at the door of the store in Section 13, and their voice could be easily conveyed to the middle and upper classes. This was all The demands of the people at the bottom.

Because in the live broadcast of Le Xiao’s return home and the live broadcast of CBV, the plight of the people at the bottom and many demands were not mentioned at all. It was just a formality. For many people, although they saw some hope, they still felt sad in their hearts. I want to express something, but no one pays attention to it.

K also knows that while there is still a relatively high degree of attention from the bottom, the demands of the bottom must be expressed, at least through Section 13, and the action must be as fast as possible. After all, if it continues to be delayed, the popularity of the bottom will be lost. It's still there, but most people in the middle and upper classes will inevitably become tougher once economic fluctuations occur, which is something K doesn't want to see.

But what K didn't expect was that a guy who claimed to be a rioter contacted him the day before yesterday and wanted to have an interview with him tonight. After hesitating for two days, K decided to talk to them.

K did not tell the practice department because he and the practice department were strangers to each other for a long time. He hated the practices of the practice department from the bottom of his heart, including the fact that he had done a lot of things secretly during his tenure in the practice department. Today he accidentally met C, which made him K was a little surprised. What was surprising was that the woman who looked like a hound was still the same to this day. As long as the businessman threw a bone, she would go back wagging her tail.

But K knew C very well. He knew that the woman was not out of loyalty or anything like that, but because she only enjoyed the process of finding prey and then killing it.

"Okay everyone, it's almost time, it's almost 12 o'clock."

As K said, everyone stood up and planned to go back to work. Most of them were ordinary people, but they came together because of like-minded people.

K returned to the street again, walked quickly for a while, and immediately saw his partner, Chen Miao. She was standing next to an electric pole angrily with her hands folded, her eyes seemed to be spitting fire, and she passed by People would take a few glances at her from time to time. Chen Miao was dressed coolly, and her skin and face were also very good. She was a rare beauty among those at the bottom.

"Sorry, Xiao Miao."

"Look, it's full of people. It's okay now. We have to wait for at least 30 minutes."

The restaurants on this street were already crowded. Chen Miao finally found a seat, but K said that she had something to do and had to go out for a few minutes. As a result, Chen Miao waited for less than 5 minutes. The clerk saw that she was occupying the place without ordering. After sitting down, let her wait outside first.

"Sorry, Xiao Miao."

"Don't you still have a housing loan? I advise you to be more attentive, Mr. K."

K just smiled and shook his head. When it came to housing loans, K showed a helpless look.

At this time, the streets and alleys were discussing the changes that might happen next for the grassroots. After the excitement passed, suspicion began to stir up again. Some people quickly listed some of the so-called stimulating economic growth promoted by the business department in the past. Bills, including many commercial investment bills initiated by the district power, almost all ended in failure. There has been no improvement at the bottom. In the past 20 years, there has been almost no increase in income. On the contrary, everywhere has become increasingly poor.

What everyone is worried about is that the approach of making big noise but small raindrops will once again put the bottom layer into a more difficult situation. Many companies at the bottom are worried about this problem. With their size, there is no doubt that they will collide with the sudden injection of capital. It is like an egg hitting a stone.

The attitude of most people is still negative, because everyone believes that pie will not fall in the sky, and many people feel that this is just another show of business. Moreover, it is impossible for a person of that level to truly serve the bottom. What to do, but will choose to make a wave of money and then get rid of it.

Located on North Third Street in District 118, the sun at 12 o'clock is the hottest of the day, but there are still many businessmen who have not left. They are still waiting anxiously for Le Xiao to come back. One of them is standing under the bright sun. , constantly wiping his forehead with a wet handkerchief to prevent heatstroke.

Some merchants were waiting in the shops on the surrounding streets. At this time, Chen Qiao and Honghong were waiting in the shops on both sides of the shop in Section 13.

"Sir, you'd better go to the alley to cool down. You'll be in trouble if you get heatstroke."

A team leader from Section 5 said, and walked over to persuade the nearly 100-year-old middle-aged man who was standing at the door of the store and wiping his forehead. He kept nodding.

"Sir, I'm not hot. It's okay. I'll just wait here for Secretary Le Xiao to come back."

The shop door of Section 13 is still closed, and 30 people from Section 5 are still guarding it. The man's name is Carlos, and he was once a gold medal producer of a music talent show. He is here today because he was recommended by Lanny. He must seize this opportunity and talk directly to Le Xiao, the secretary of Section 13, in order to have a chance to turn around.

At this time, some businessmen recognized Carlos, and their words were full of ridicule. After all, the experience of this down-and-out gold medal music producer can be described as ups and downs. He once made a fortune by relying on a large-scale urban music talent show, but he also Because of the fake music program, his reputation plummeted and his credibility in the city was ruined.

Although Carlos has still held some small live music auditions in recent years, the results have been very unsatisfactory, and the network's ratings have been declining year by year. In order to save this situation, the singers Carlos chooses for the show are all handsome guys and beauties. , although it has stabilized a certain decline, let alone compare with the glory of the past. It is exhausted to be able to support himself and some people in the company. Coupled with the impact of today's live broadcast industry, his programs are almost gone. People are paying attention to it, and it is even more impossible to get it broadcast on some large channels. Because of serious power and sex trade issues in the past, he was sentenced to 10 years in prison.

In Carlos's music talent show back then, only one singer was still shining brightly and rose to the top of the class. This is the only thing Carlos talked about, it was you who discovered Tianai.

At this time, the streets were boiling. In the distance, Lexiao was back. Carlos was fully prepared, but soon businessmen swarmed in, and in an instant, Carlos' figure was submerged in the crowd.
