Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

"Falling in love with you is the original sin of my life. Forgive me is the tragedy of your life. You and I are just strangers who passed each other by fate. Why should we meet, why should we hold hands, why should we fall in love."

The lights in the bar were dim, and a low and sad song was playing. Le Xiao pressed her forehead, her cheeks turned red, and Xu Ming in front of her smiled and shook her head.

"Don't you like listening to this love song? I think it's very good. Tian'ai's voice is really great."

Le Xiao could only smile awkwardly. This song "Guilty Love" was Tianai's recently released single. Its sales exploded instantly, reaching an astonishing more than 6 million copies, and it ranked TOP1 on all major music charts. The melancholy and intoxicating song is called the saddest love song this year. With Tian Ai's heavenly voice, it has a bit of decadence and psychedelic feeling.

Tian Ai, a female star with good looks, a good voice, and a prowess in film, television and singing, is like the sun in the entertainment circle of Bright City. Not only that, Tian Ai’s brother is also the section chief of the 3rd Military Section. Such a life is simply It makes people envious and hateful.

Le Xiao used to like Tian Ai very much. Although she was not a big fan of her, she also liked her movies, TV shows and songs. She had fantasized about meeting Tian Ai countless times, and even thought that she could become a female star one day. What kind of life should it be.

Everything about Tian Ai seems to be just like her name. God loves her. She is beautiful, rich, and has a powerful brother, and this brother loves her very much. An entertainment show In the show, Le Xiao also saw that Tian Hen, Tian Ai's brother, was actually on the show. He was a handsome man, as beautiful as Tian Ai.

But now all this is in the past. Ever since she saw Tian Ai's true face, everything about Tian Ai's beauty in Le Xiao's heart has collapsed. In addition, Tian Ai caused her to lose her job. The things that were originally photographed by media reporters were normal. , Tianai has never sued a media reporter, but why did she sue the news account she worked for? Judging from the decisiveness of the editor-in-chief to fire herself, this is Tianai deliberately targeting Le Xiao.

"Hey Lele, did you hear what I said to you?"

Le Xiao curled her mouth and took a sip of wine. The low-quality artificial fruit wine was really hard to drink, and she got drunk quickly.

"It was so good before. When I graduated, Brother Xu, it would be great if our media traffic could be stable. Why are people like this? They like cruel things, like entertainment, like..."

"Okay Lele, stop talking. I told you at noon today. Do you want to follow me and become an independent reporter?"

Xu Ming said and wanted to help Le Xiao, who was already drunk, but accidentally spilled the wine. Le Xiao quickly got up and apologized, wiping Xu Ming with paper. At this time, Le Xiao drunkenly saw Xu Ming. Where has she seen the double-headed snake tattoo on her arm?

But at this time, there was a sudden commotion outside the house. The street lights on the street were flashing red. Xu Ming hurriedly pulled up his sleeves, but soon a group of uniformed officers from the 5th Public Security Management Section walked into the store. member.

"A week-long curfew will be implemented starting tonight. The order from Congress will come out early tomorrow morning. Please get up and return home quickly."

Xu Ming hurriedly looked at the Section 5 personnel outside who were checking some people's identity documents. Many people in the store were pulled up for inspection. He hurriedly helped Le Xiao up and started walking.

"I'm sorry. This lady may have some symptoms of an infectious disease. I want to send her to the hospital. Please give in."

Soon the staff of Section 5 got out of the way in a panic. Le Xiao didn't know what Xu Ming was going to say. As soon as she went out to catch the wind, she was already completely drunk and just smiled stupidly.

Located in the Xuanwu District to the north of the upper level, there are a large number of single-family buildings here. It is a wealthy area. Jean is walking on the streets, and there are people from the 5 departments patrolling around from time to time.

Congress has decided to impose a one-week curfew. People are not allowed to go out after 8 p.m. If they dare to go out, they will be arrested and detained for three days at the least, and may be downgraded as a citizen.

Along the way, many people from Section 5 came to question him, but they gave up after seeing the uniform of Section 13 that Gene was wearing.

After just understanding the situation with Locke, the bottom and middle and lower levels are under the responsibility of the 3rd Military Section, which investigates all suspicious persons, not only during the day, but also at night.

Rumors have long spread in the city that the infectious diseases announced by the 4th Medical Department with unknown causes are actually special food poisoning.

In four days, Sanlian Company will hold a large-scale press conference to dispel the rumors. It is just after midnight, and the antidote should have been developed. Gene smiled.

The worst-case scenario is that the problem is exposed to the sun, and Sanlian Company will be greatly impacted in an instant, the food supply will stop in an instant, and conflict and bloodshed are inevitable. The reason why Jean went to the sewer to find the particles The purpose of using high-grade industrial waste is to recover a large number of poisoned patients when the incident is exposed, and to minimize the impact.

Sanlian Company, which occupies nearly 60% of the special food market share, has probably contacted Congress and is already discussing countermeasures in the worst case scenario. The curfew is just the first step. Gene stopped and looked back at the darkness behind him. Huge city.

"It just depends on these few days. If everything goes well, everything will be fine."

The rioters lurking in the city will never miss this golden opportunity. According to the conclusion of the Second City Crisis Analysis and Countermeasures Section, there are already a large number of armed forces in the barrier area to contact the rioters lurking in the city. In the end, The worst case scenario is that it turns into a war.

When the problems in the city are exposed, a large number of rioters will incite the people in the city. And when the smoke rises, the people in the barrier area who already hate the city will attack the four guard stations, and war may break out at any time. .

Therefore, almost all members of the 3rd Military Section were dispatched and stationed on the ground floor in advance, in order to ensure that the armed forces in the barrier area could be effectively contained as soon as the riot broke out.

Jean stopped, put out the cigarette butt, held it in his hand and looked at the courtyard-style three-story building with lights on in the second floor and one room in front of him. Jean climbed over the courtyard wall and walked in slowly. , there are trimmed lawns on both sides, and there are small flower beds on the courtyard walls, filled with flowers.

The window opened, and Ji Mo stuck out his head in surprise. The alarm in the room just went off. He was a little surprised at first, but soon he smiled helplessly.

"Can't you knock on the door?"

Gene had already reached the window on the second floor, sat by the window, and took out a cigarette. There was still a smell on him. Ji Mo looked at Gene strangely.

"I took a walk in the sewer. It's nothing. It's more about what you've been doing recently."

Gene looked meaningfully at the somewhat messy office in Ji Mo's room, filled with a large amount of information, many of which were business information from the past ten years, and Ji Mo tidied it up casually.

"Come in and talk."

Gene shook his head.

"Your wife and daughter are both asleep. I just want to ask you. When I went to the Business Department to find you that day, was there anything else you didn't tell me?"

Ji Mo looked confused and then laughed and shook his head.

"It's nothing, I've told you everything."

Gene nodded. Ji Mo told him a lot of things before, so he immediately went to the medical department to investigate. Fortunately, some problems were solved.

"go to bed early."

Gene said as he turned around and crossed to the ground. His eyes looked a little helpless. Ji Mo behind him was his old friend, and he couldn't make any mandatory demands on him.

"Jean, it's okay. You don't have to worry about me. Didn't you say before that I'll put all the blame on you? I'll remember that. Just don't regret it when the time comes."

Gene held a cigarette and tilted his head and laughed.

"Ah, I remember it!"

Ji Mo seemed to be relieved after watching Gene walk away. He closed the window, as if waking up from a nightmare, and the sweat that had been held in for a long time seeped out from both sides of his forehead.

"I'm sorry that Gene can't rely on you this time, and your intervention will make the already troublesome situation worse."

Under the orange level alert, people from 13 departments in Bright City were mobilized, and everyone was trying their best to make a last-ditch effort for the coming crisis.

In the dead of night, at 3 o'clock in the morning, Jean was still walking alone on the streets of Baihu District, and he could still see Section 5 personnel patrolling in twos and threes.

Gene was not sleepy. There was only one question in his mind, what else could he do.

If this matter could be resolved by just killing a few key figures, it would be too easy and simple. Just killing cannot solve any problem.

The only clue to the rioters lurking in the city is the tattoo of the two-headed snake. But as a wise man said, the tattoo of the two-headed snake is just a false signal deliberately released. This conflict is about to destroy the peace of the entire city. Massive conflict involving tens of millions of people.

It can't be solved by killing a few people. Gene stopped and came to the huge statue of the white tiger leading to the middle floor again. He leaned against the statue and smoked silently.

Many people with double-headed snake tattoos were arrested before, but some of them were mixed with real and fake rioters. Although some real rioters confessed, they only obtained them through some inconspicuous places in the city. Go to the envelope with the instructions and take action.

Most people were even taken advantage of for petty profits. Some radical guys cried and cursed when facing the iron-blooded interrogation. Things like justice and fairness, justice that was successfully induced by others, even 13 There may also be people within the department who are beguiled.

The city in front of us is like the tangled roots under a big tree. Which part of it is rotten and deteriorated?

"Dialogue can't solve anything anymore."

Gene put away his cigarette butts and slowly walked down the stairs with cold eyes, a murderous intent running through his body.

Didi didi

Gene answered the phone.

"Don't interfere with this matter anymore Jean. Congress has found a perfect response plan, and the particle-level industrial raw materials you found make this plan even more perfect. Congress has also adopted the plan you proposed before, and everything will be fine. Leave it to Section 3 and Section 5."

Locke's voice came from the phone, and Gene responded with a sneer.

"Perfect? ​​Just for those ridiculously rich pigs!"

"You must not mess around, Jean, I beg you. If you mess around, everything will get out of hand."

Gene hung up the phone and walked quickly instead of listening to Locke's nonsense.

"The only choice is to go to the barrier area."

Early in the morning, Le Xiao covered her aching head and woke up under the blow from the angry villain's little fist. She looked around with some surprise, then fell asleep with her clothes on. It should have been Xu Ming who put her in bed. After being sent home, she decided to go to the headquarters of Sanlian Company where the press conference was to be held today.

But the moment she got out of bed, Le Xiao felt weak and fell to the floor. She was sweating on her forehead and her hands and feet were weak. She gasped and didn't know what was wrong, but she thought she might be sick. After taking some cold medicine, Le Xiao rested for a while, ate a can of liquid food and then went out.

Although there are many rumors on the Internet now that the infectious diseases occurring in the city are actually poisoning caused by liquid food, there are many such rumors, but they are no longer seen recently, and the 4th Medical Department has repeatedly reiterated that they believe it Congress, trust the medical department and don’t believe these rumors.

But Le Xiao felt dizzy after just taking a few steps. She shook her head. Such a small cold would not make her succumb. Work is the first priority. She must rely on this work to enter the weekly magazine. Otherwise she would be really in danger.

As soon as she entered the underground station, Le Xiao was interrogated by the personnel of the 3rd Military Section at the station. Only then did she realize that something was wrong. As soon as she turned on her phone, she saw overwhelming curfew orders and street control.

Citizens must unconditionally accept interrogation and body searches by officers, and even arrests.

But what Le Xiao couldn't figure out was why there were so many people from the 3rd Military Section. Like ants emerging from the ground, the streets were full of people from the 3rd Military Section, armed with live ammunition.

The phone rang, and Le Xiao saw that it was Shi Ke.

"Miss Le Xiao, please come to No. 9 Huanzhuang Street. I have to make arrangements for the press conference in three days. Someone will pick you up when you get there."

Le Xiao hummed happily.

There was a stench in the air, and the wind kept whistling by. From time to time, it made a whining sound in the ravine under the bridge, as if someone was crying. The four bridges connecting the barrier area were also called crying. Bridge, because everyone who is exiled into the darkness from here will cry desperately.

Jean stood quietly on the bridge. At the junction of light and darkness, one step forward was the hell-like barrier area. The sunlight could only shine here. It was pitch black in the distance and almost nothing could be seen.

"worst plans."

After Gene paid attention, he turned back and glanced at the dazzling city behind him, showing a warm and sunny smile. But the moment he turned his head, he stepped into the darkness, and his smile became as sharp as a knife.
