Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

On the brightly lit lawn of the Su family manor, the patriarch of the entire family and key figures in the family gathered. A large number of members of Section 2 were cleaning up the corpses in the Hillman Manor opposite.

The chiefs and secretaries of each department were already present, except for the secretaries of Section 5 and some of the directors. At this time, on a stage, the gods had already stood up, and the family patriarchs looked solemn. of sitting together.

Su Li had already driven all the Su family members into the backyard and asked the bodyguards to watch them and not allow them to come over.

Looking at the frightened faces, Su Li walked over with a smile.

"Now you know you're afraid?"

Su Li said something, and Chen Qiao swallowed, still lowering his head. Jiang Hao next to him looked at his wife Honghong, who had a relaxed smile on his face.

"Don't worry, the benevolent gods will not do anything, but this time the immunity cannot be guaranteed."

For a time, many family patriarchs heard it, and many people seemed to be relieved. Immunity no longer mattered in the eyes of many people. Now it was important to save their lives, especially those who listened to the Hillman family's words and began to build family armies. The families in the team, the Huosen family, the Chen family, the Jiang family, and the Wang family now have considerable private armed armies.

Moreover, the family also has a large number of weapons and equipment, all of which were purchased from the Hillman family.

But after the family patriarchs witnessed the tragedy of the Hillman family tonight, no one thought about the private armed forces anymore, but the key now is that they cannot return to the family to deal with these private armed forces.

Now everyone is afraid that the gods will deal with them on the spot.

"Don't talk about immunity, even if we are allowed to take money."

As Jiang Hao spoke, many people showed approval. At this time, everyone gradually sat down, and some of the whispers disappeared.

"The first thing I want to explain is"

Deguna paused and chuckled.

"Don't pee your pants. It won't kill you if you feel safe."

As Deguna said, many members of the big families in the front row looked livid.

"There are obvious records on the criminal record. Which of you has dealt with the Hillman family, assisted them in committing crimes, and cooperated with them even though you knew it was a violation of the law? I won't say anything about these things now. What do you think? Well aware.”

Deguna knocked on the table as she spoke. For a moment, many family patriarchs seemed to be frightened, lowering their heads nervously.

"All connections between you and the Hillman family in the past have been wiped out because of your immunity! But this is the last time, do you hear me clearly? If next time we find out which family wants to shake the foundation of this city, Hillman The Mann family is your fate."

The patriarchs of each family lowered their heads in silence.

"What am I asking you? Did you hear me clearly? Are you mute?"

One by one, the clan leaders stood up, and then all the clan leaders stood up, bowed deeply and answered.

"Listen clearly, Lord Deguna!"

"As I just said, this is the last night you enjoy immunity. Everything before tonight will be wiped out, but the record will still remain. Now please take the initiative to hand over the immunity your family signed with us in the past. The contract, image object documents, all have been paid, now you can go home and get your things."

One by one, the clan leaders quickly turned around and started running.

"Listen clearly, if anyone dares to spread the news about what happened tonight, don't blame us for being rude."

At this time, a huge pit appeared bit by bit, and Rose had begun to use her strength to dig out a pit.

"Heathcote, are you ready with the things I asked you to prepare?"

Heathcote turned immediately and bowed.

"You are ready, Master Deguna."

With that said, Heathcote started walking.

"You guys come with me to move the solid fuel."

Immediately, the section chiefs and secretaries nearby all realized that the gods wanted to burn these contracts, objects, and video materials on the spot.

The family's immunity will be cut off tonight, but a more formal occasion is needed to announce it to the whole city. This time can only be done in the future, waiting for the city to officially calm down.

Things will gradually go wrong starting tomorrow. Now the section chiefs need to be prepared to deal with it, but the gods have ordered all the members of the operational section in advance to get weapons and equipment and go to various districts to be on standby.

This kind of standby may last for one or two days, or it may last for three or four days. The situation has become extremely serious. The situation will start as soon as the city network is restored.

The database of Hillman Financial was empty. The moment Eddie died, the AI ​​named Prometheus deleted everything and destroyed all the virtual data of the Hillman family. This situation has never happened before. The most serious ever.

The savings of nearly 10 million people in the city are stored in Hillman Financial.

"Get ready, gold and manganese. This is the time to implement a comprehensive virtual currency. Starting tomorrow, I want you to work 24 hours a day. Even if you can't restore everything, at least you must know everyone's income in the past few years."

Deguna said and Jin Mian nodded. At this time, Su Li had come over with her bodyguards. She was holding an old paper document that had been sealed with special gel. This was written more than 70 years ago. The agreement signed with the gods also had the handprints of the gods on it, as well as an image file stored in the metal, and a heraldic sculpture carved by the gods themselves and given to the Su family.

Su Li smiled helplessly, threw everything in her hands into the pit, and then clapped her hands.

"Little girl, you are quite free and easy."

Rose said and Sully laughed.

"This kind of thing is nothing more than waste paper. People who want to survive on this kind of thing have the most stupid ideas."

Some nearby family patriarchs also came with their things, and more and more document storage blocks and heraldic carvings were thrown into the pit.

A lot of solid fuel blocks had been placed under the big pit. Time passed by and it was already 1:31.

At this time, everyone saw Jean coming over with the Angus family contract, which was the last one.

The family patriarchs sat back on their chairs, waiting for the next instructions from the gods.

Deguna picked up the loudspeaker equipment again.

"Very well, now under the witness of all of us, the family's immunity will become history from today on."

As he spoke, Li Chu raised a hand, and a flame suddenly burst out. Soon thick smoke billowed, and in less than a few seconds, there was a crackling sound, and the pit turned into a sea of ​​fire.

The scorching heat hit my face. In less than a few minutes, everything in the pit turned into dust. The high bulges on both sides of the earth began to be buried bit by bit. The burning smell gradually disappeared, and the earth It was filled up by Rose using her power.

The ashen-faced family patriarchs looked over from time to time. Some of the family patriarchs who were not involved in the Hillman family's transaction were a little dissatisfied. If they refused to hand over their immunity tonight, they would be killed.

"From tomorrow onwards, you will be like ordinary citizens and need to live under the strict supervision of the law. If you commit a crime, you will be punished by the law. Immunity has become history. Family superiority no longer exists. From now on, you will still be We are a part of Bright City, and starting from tomorrow, I don’t want anyone to use immunity as an excuse, do you understand me?”

One after another, not too neat voices sounded.

"Regarding what Alpha did tonight, I need to make a special statement now. This is just Alpha's personal behavior and has nothing to do with the Angus family. I don't want anyone to use these things to threaten or even attack the Angus family in the future. , as for Alpha’s treatment, we have already decided, she will be put in prison with a sentence of 100 years!”

For a moment, all the family patriarchs present raised their heads in shock. Originally, everyone thought that the gods would find a way to cover up everything Alpha committed.

"As for the announcement of the situation, it will depend on the situation in the city. Please don't spread the word about the situation before Congress announces it when you go back. Do you hear me clearly?"

The clan leaders nodded, and Deguna continued.

"The city may temporarily fall into chaos starting tomorrow, so what I want to tell you is that if the city needs you, please don't hesitate. In the future, the city will also compensate you for your contribution today, but If you push back when the city needs you, not only will the city not compensate you in the future, it will even make you suffer, do you understand!"

Deguna glanced at everyone again, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

"The above! These are what I want to explain tonight. More specific issues will be explained at the city meeting in a while. Thank you for your hard work tonight. You can go back and spend the New Year's Eve dinner tonight."

After Deguna finished speaking, many people started to move. Gene turned around and was about to leave when Deguna grabbed him.

"I want to watch you send Alpha to prison with your own hands."

Jean nodded and turned into a light blue light and went away.

2:03 am

"The operation is over and the vital signs are stable!"

Huashen took off his mask. At this time, the three people sitting on the stairs breathed a sigh of relief. Huashen covered Alpha with a blanket and sat tiredly on the sofa that had moved to the edge. The Angus couple came down.

"Thank you, Doctor Huashen."

Huashen shook his head.

"Alpha won't be awake for the next few days. She's very weak. I'll be here to watch over her in case she suffers from organ failure."

Freya was still sitting on the stairs, watching the Angus couple crying and sitting next to Alpha. Freya felt very sad. This time it was really a farewell, and Alpha would be sentenced to 100 years in prison.

A century-long imprisonment was the punishment for Alpha, and it was reasonable. This was the maximum length of criminal law in Brilliant City.

Freya didn't know what would happen to the city next, but tonight was the last chance. At this time, Freya walked down and sat on the other side of Alpha.

"Alpha! I don't know if you can hear me."

Huashen looked at Freya quietly and showed a bitter smile.

"I have been thinking about a question since a long time ago. I will definitely do more than you and make more contributions to the bright future of this city. I must surpass you, but you know why I think so. ? Alpha!"

Freya's expression was slightly sad, and she held Alpha's hand with only one hand.

"Because I identify with your Alpha from the bottom of my heart. You are often like the sun that burns people. I lose! I can't be as pure as you, because I don't know when I started to become obsessed with the city. I started to feel overwhelmed with many things, maybe because I gave birth to three children!"

Freya smiled and wiped away the tears that fell from her face. She sniffed and continued to adjust her emotions.

"In the future, I will continue to walk Alpha. This time I lost completely, or in other words, we will never have the opportunity to compete with each other and discuss some things. This era has come to an end, and it has become more and more beautiful because of you. The better times are coming to an end!"

The Angus couple opposite stood up and left. Huashen just watched quietly. The two most legendary women of this era were saying goodbye. Huashen knew very well that he could not achieve their level.

"You know, Alpha, my daughter Michelle, takes you as an example. She will ask me something about you every day. I will tell Michelle everything you do seriously. I hope this child will grow up in the future. I can become a strong and brave person like you!"

Freya was choking, almost speechless. At this moment, she really felt that tonight was the last conversation between herself and Alpha. Although this was just her own unilateral talk, Alpha You may not be able to hear or respond.

The times have become irresistibly ready to run amok. Although Alpha lit the fuse, even if Alpha does not light the fuse, the city will one day erupt. When a volcano filled with lava erupts, the ejected lava will swallow it up. Everything about the city.

Freya was crying quietly. At this moment, she didn't know what to say, or she didn't need to say anything at all. She could only hold Alpha's hand tightly until the artificial sun rose tomorrow.

At this time, Huashen had fallen asleep from exhaustion. Angus and his wife were in the infirmary on the second floor, looking at Niya lying on the bed. She had not yet woken up from her coma, and her expression was always very uncomfortable.

"Move Alpha there tomorrow and don't let Niya see it."

Avano said, Violet looked at her husband blankly, but then she nodded.

The couple just looked at their daughter quietly. Whether it was the daughter below or the one above, they were their favorite daughters. But now the eldest daughter may never see her again in her life. Jean has already said that if Alpha comes again next time, If he goes berserk, he won't show mercy.

The couple also knew that Gene had tried his best, but the result was still not optimistic.

At this time, Gene was lying quietly on the roof, looking east. He planned to wait here for the sun to rise, and then send Alpha to prison.

"The end of an era!"

Gene measured his body with a wry smile. He took out a cigarette and lit it, but soon turned to the other side. What should he do? Gene simply sat up, feeling discomfort all over his body. The feeling was already making Jean uncomfortable.

But what Alpha said when she fell echoed in Gene's mind. He didn't know whether Alpha was conscious, but he was certain that she regained her independent consciousness.

At the moment of Gil's death, Tang Rao said that Gil didn't say anything and he still hadn't regained consciousness. The only example of a mutant who regained consciousness after going berserk was Quasimodo. Jean didn't know if he should After Alpha wakes up, she will turn into a monster again, and he will kill her again.

As time passed, these questions were heading towards the end of the question. Gene stood up, took a puff of cigarette, and exhaled a long stream of smoke.

The only way that Jean could think of in an instant to make Alpha fall without harming her life was to destroy the power released by Alpha in an instant. It succeeded. As long as there was a slight mistake, Alpha would die.

Gene didn't know if he could achieve such accuracy next time. This time he was able to control the power of the third stage to such an extent. Gene also felt very incredible. This time it was 51 seconds.

Looking back on the past, this third stage will expand and increase its power infinitely. In up to 45 seconds, it will be completely out of conscious control and begin to attack everything around it out of control.

This is also the reason why Jean and several others cannot stay in this city forever. One day, they will all step directly into the second stage with the infinite growth of power, and then from the second stage to the third stage, Even the final unconscious fourth stage.

"What exactly are we?"

Jean couldn't help but ask himself, what exactly is it is always the answer that Jean and several others want to know, and that answer may only be known by going to the core of the planet.

There is a huge crater in the distant Pacific Ocean. Perhaps they can only know everything after entering it, but if they want to enter, the planet will be completely destroyed.

Gene didn't know how many more years he could stay with the city, but the problem at hand was Alpha.

"I can promise you Alpha and take care of Nia, I can promise you!"

Gene glanced down. He really wanted to go down and accompany Alpha, but in the end he held back. In his mind, Gene recalled what Ye Chunwang said about cultivating the next generation for the city.

Now Gene has made up his mind. Regarding the way to train the next generation, Gene will not be able to teach them something. It should be more about companionship and guidance. Just like a friend, just stay with the next generation. This relationship is just like the relationship between himself and Mo Xiaolan.

It's not just a master-disciple relationship, the relationship between friends may be more appropriate.

Gene clenched his fists and pressed them on his chest.

"What should I do, Ellie, what should I do?"

3:09 am

The streets and alleys were full of people, and everyone was looking forward to tomorrow. Ran Zhi woke up from his deep sleep. He gasped and got up, but soon a bodyguard of the Hillman family who was lying on the sofa got up. Come and get a glass of water for Ran Zhi.

"Mr. Wise Man, are you having a nightmare?"

Ran Zhi smiled and nodded.

"I often have nightmares."

Ran Zhi didn't know what was going on, but he dreamed of Eddie. This was something that had never happened before, but tonight he dreamed of Eddie. He dreamed that Eddie was killed, but soon Ran Zhi... Laughing, he walked behind the curtain and took a look at the still lively street below.

Recalling the dream just now, Ran Zhi felt it was extremely real. He really seemed to have seen the moment of Eddie's death, and Eddie was looking at him.

In Ran Zhi's opinion, the Hillman family's plan has been successful. The network has still not recovered, and many people in the field can still be seen on the streets. This is enough to show that Eddie's kidnapping plan was successful.

The members of the administrative department along the street were all conducting interrogations. Ran Zhi knew very well that after dawn, the Hillman family's plan to win over people's hearts would be successful. Soon after the development of optical nuclear weapons, they would have the bargaining chips to sit down and negotiate with the gods. Now, the conditions for fair negotiations with the gods are getting better and better.

"By the way, send me to Hillman Grain later. I want to see my wife."

The bodyguard behind him bowed slightly. He was Ran Zhi's bodyguard who was ordered by Eddie.

"Keep resting, Mr. Wise Man, don't you still have to visit your wife next year?"

Ran Zhi hummed and lay back on the bed, but he didn't know why, and felt uneasy. Maybe it was because of the dream, but soon sleepiness came over him again, and Ran Zhi fell asleep.

3:31 am

There are still many people on the street who are still reveling. Everyone is looking forward to the rapid economic growth starting tomorrow, because they all know that the Hillman family is going to launch a lot of business activities.

In the conference hall located at the headquarters of Section 5, Tamai was sitting on pins and needles waiting. Soon a beautiful woman walked in, and Tamai was a little confused.

"Miss, please"

"Starting from tomorrow, I will temporarily act as the chief of Section 5, and you will assist me in my work. Do you hear me clearly?"

As Tang Rao said, Tamai was a little confused, but as several temporarily suspended directors from Section 5 came in, Tamai was about to speak, but seeing the attitude of the directors towards this woman, he seemed to Realized something.

"I am what you have heard growing up, God! Tamai, all you have to do is do as you are told."

Tamai stepped forward.

"Kami-sama, where is Alpha-sama?"

Tang Rao stared at the young man.

"Just treat him as dead and prepare to start the meeting. Except for the students, the other 11 newly appointed directors do not need to come in. You are responsible for handing over Tamai to them. But don't tell anyone about my identity. Did you hear that?"

Tamai nodded, feeling a little sad in his heart at this time. He didn't know what happened to Alpha, but he was sure that a major accident would happen in the city.

Gradually, more and more directors came in. Tang Rao directly set up a light and shadow screen. Tamai stood quietly aside, but here he seemed to be an outsider, if it weren't for the fact that he was the secretary. , he may not even be qualified to stand here, Tamai lowered his head.

"Are Tamai listening carefully?"

For a moment, Tamai swallowed, Tang Rao looked at him seriously, and all the directors present looked at Tamai.

"I'm sorry, Kami-sama."

"Starting in a few days, I will let Jean train you well, and please be prepared to take over as the leader of Section 5."

Tamai's eyes widened in surprise.

"Xiaoxuan, please temporarily support this idiot who is not very capable at work. After the Alpha incident is officially announced in a few days, you will be the secretary of Section 5."

Tamai kept swallowing, he was too shocked by the sudden incident.

"Where is Alpha-sama?"

Tang Rao pulled Tamayi over and pressed a finger on his forehead.

"When Alpha left, he had appointed you to be the section chief of Section 5. If you can't do it well, don't stand here and get out of here now!"

Tamai was pushed to the ground by Tang Rao's finger. Originally, Tamai thought everyone would laugh, but no one laughed at the scene. Alpha had already sent a document to all internal directors, as well as to all A document was sent to all the section chiefs and secretaries. Tamai was a very suitable candidate for the section chief of Section 5. Alpha had sorted out what kind of talents he had long ago.

Tamai stood up hurriedly, started to adjust a light and shadow screen, and listened carefully.

"It is very likely that riots will occur in the above-mentioned areas. Section 9 will be responsible for negotiating with some businessmen, and Section 12 will provide some emergency food to temporarily appease the people in these areas. There must be additional departments in these areas. When officers go over, if any problem occurs, suppress it immediately. If the situation is serious, do not hesitate and issue the order to kill, do you hear me clearly?"

Tamai's eyes widened in shock, and he swallowed.

4:39 am

A group of swaying men were checking out at the counter. One man took his mobile phone and connected it directly to the book payment system at the bar. Then he entered the amount, but a system error message appeared the next second.

The man was a little surprised. The others looked like they couldn't hold on any longer and wanted to go to bed as soon as possible.

"How about I call some women over so that we can play some more!"

A man said with excitement, and several other men nodded immediately. The man immediately took out his phone, clicked on a software, and soon found a store closest to here, and started ordering door-to-door service.

"I'll invite you this time, but you can invite me next time."

Several other men started to laugh and look at the blood-swelling photos, and began to choose the service recipients. When the selection was completed, the men planned to check out, a total of 560 yuan, but after the checkout, an error message appeared in the system.

"Guest, we are closing, please hurry up."

The man paying the bill at the bar looked confused, but at this time many people discovered that the network had not restored communication. Many people had just received the mass message from the Congress. Because the system was being upgraded, the network was temporarily cut off.

“Use cash!”

The man said helplessly, and could only take out his clothes.
