Life Copy Game

"this···"

The night wind blew through the woman's messy hair, and everything in the world seemed to have returned to silence. Yi Ni stared blankly at the scene on the screen. The burning wreckage was reflected in her pupils, and seemed to be imprinted into her memory. inside.

"we won."

She lowered her head and muttered to herself.

"You don't think so."

Liz on the side supported her head and spoke slowly.

"Um?"

Yi Ni turned around and looked at her friend.

"Is the old man too handsome?"

Liz rubbed her face, turned her head, looked at her friend, and scratched her hair, "It gives people an explosive sense of security, as if he can solve any problem."

"Have it?"

Yi Ni withdrew her gaze and looked at the screen again, but at the moment there was only an empty podium, and the old man standing behind the podium had already left.

That seemed to tell everyone that everything was over, and the night in Yilan City remained the same.

The war was just an episode in this quiet night. It sounded suddenly, and then was easily turned off in the hands of the old man.

Yi Ni paused and said slowly, "It seems, it's a bit..."

Woo——

While the two were talking, lights turned on not far behind them, and the sound of a car approaching was heard.

"Is this the car coming back?"

Liz raised her head and looked at the light approaching from behind.

"You must have heard that the war is over and you should go back,"

Yi Ni looked at the rays of light that lit up from the darkness, "There are still few people now. When those who came back first find out that the war is really over, everyone should come back slowly. After all, no one wants to leave in the middle of the night. Own home, drag the family and their families out to escape for their lives."

"Then do we still want to go north?"

Liz turned back and looked at Yi Ni.

"Let's go,"

Yi Ni clapped her hands, her eyes glanced at the ruins scene still playing on the billboard, and then focused on the towering city wall in the distance again, continuing to walk deeper into the night, "Even if we win, we still need to go Obtain front-line information. If we don’t report the truth, those who make fake news will report it.”

"Alright alright."

Liz patted her sore thighs and followed her friend.

"I was thinking," then she seemed to have thought of something and asked, "Should we do an exclusive interview with Mr. Linn?"

"ah?"

Hearing this question, Yi Ni was slightly startled.

"I have a hunch that Mr. Lin En's prestige will explode after tonight. If we can get this exclusive interview at the first time, the traffic will definitely explode. And you think about it,"

Liz raised her hand and started to wrench her fingers one by one.

"Those mainstream media are under the control of large consortiums. Mr. Lynn definitely needs someone to promote his ideas. Isn't that why he invested in us? We just took advantage of the popularity to promote this.

"Mr. Lynn can convey his ideas to the public, and we can also gain traffic and exposure, building up our grassroots team."

"But for exclusive interviews, I have no experience. I'm just an intern."

Yi Ni hesitated, "If it's not done well..."

"Opportunity never waits for anyone, my little baby,"

Liz stood on tiptoes and reached out to hug her friend's shoulders, "If we miss this time, it will be a loss for us and Mr. Linn, and we have to let Mr. Linn see that we can also do things. His Investment is not in vain.

"Speaking of which, don't you know any big news bosses? Your former teachers and classmates? You are quite good at it. Can you ask them for help? Can you also borrow some of their resources? This is mutually beneficial. Well."

Liz leaned on her friend and said seriously, "No matter what, we have to take on this matter. Opportunities wait for no one."

After hearing Liz's words, Yi Ni seemed to think of something and nodded slightly, "Okay, I'll think of a way."

Then she hesitated and asked in a low voice, "But how are we going to make an appointment with Mr. Linn? Will Mr. Linn agree to our agreement?"

"have no idea,"

Liz let go of her friend's hand and scratched her head, "Should I call the mayor's office first and ask? Don't worry, everything is difficult at the beginning. As long as we start doing it, the hardest part will be over."

"OK."

Yi Ni nodded, then she turned around and looked behind her.

More and more vehicles and pedestrians began to return from the depths of the dark night, heading back towards home.

city ​​council building

"Is it really over?"

The man in the white shirt slowly walked out of the elevator and looked at the silent night outside the floor-to-ceiling window in the corridor.

Just outside the huge glass wall, on the street, a huge, still smoking Seraph mecha wreckage was falling to the edge of the street, leaning against the building opposite.

Under the mecha, cordons have been pulled out, and some soldiers are quickly dismantling the wreckage within the cordons with construction machinery.

"I just asked, that was the mecha that Scott's army was shot down,"

The man behind the man in the white shirt lit a cigar, held it in his mouth, and slowly walked out from behind, "It seems that the war is indeed over, and Lynn won."

"Wait a moment,"

The man in the white shirt was stunned for a moment, then raised his hand, "Wait a minute, let me stroke it."

He slowly gathered his thoughts, "To the north, two of the most advanced mercenary groups came from Copes, and to the south, a mercenary group and an aviation force with four aerial behemoths came from the Ivis Space System. , and the commander-in-chief of North City, Scott, rebelled,"

He looked at the man with the cigar next to him, "How did he win? No, how did he win? With this small amount of troops and equipment, I can't even win a war chess game by cheating. Is he the God of War?"

"How the hell do I know,"

The cigar man took a puff of his cigarette and said, "If I could fight this kind of battle, why would I be a member of parliament? Which big consortium wouldn't kneel down and beg me to let me be the general staff officer of their mercenary group?"

He took off the cigar from his mouth and sighed, "Don't think about it. After tonight, Yilan City will definitely change. A mayor who can give good speeches, and a leader who can protect the city in war." , prestige is not on the same level.”

He raised his head and glanced at the man in the white shirt, "We have seen too many cowardly mayors. Why did those people from Yilan Morning News say with certainty that he ran away on a plane? Don't you think he must be scared and run away?" , but he didn’t run away and even won the battle beautifully. To be honest, I admire him a little, maybe he is really sent by God to save Yilan City.”

"Then what do we do?"

The man in the white shirt looked at the man with the cigar next to him.

"Tomorrow morning, impeach him."

The cigar man took a puff of his cigar, looked at the mecha wreckage outside, and exhaled the rich smoke.

"What?"

The man in the white shirt was stunned and looked at the 'colleague' beside him with wide eyes.

"Lynn's ability is too strong. The more time you give him, the more likely he is to gain momentum,"

The man with the cigar was holding a cigar in his mouth and looked at the man in the white shirt. "I have contacted the consortium. They have bribed nearly half of the members of the parliament, including many members of Lynn's party. Once these members turn against them, they will Together with the members who originally opposed him, we can muster two-thirds of the opposition votes."

He took off his cigar and blew out a puff of smoke, "The procedure this time is absolutely legal. Now Lin En has just defeated the consortium's army and is very proud of himself.

"When a person is floating, it is easiest for him to lose sight of the dangers around him. There is a high probability that he will not be able to notice the surge of parliament, and we will take advantage of his carelessness and kill him with one knife."

"It's so cruel,"

The man in the white shirt laughed dumbly and said, "You just said that Linn was sent by God to save Yilan."

“Isn’t it easy for us to change our identities and cities?”

Fine smoke overflowed from the cigar man's mouth, "After this, we will no longer be Yilan people."

"To be honest, I was kind of looking forward to it,"

The man in the white shirt looked at the mecha wreckage under the night outside the window and said with a smile, "I really want to see Lynn's expression when he was held up by his supporters and his face was full of pride, and when he suddenly knew that he had been successfully impeached."

"That'll be fun."

The cigar man also smiled.

St. Ilan District·Ives Space System Ilan City Headquarters Building

The scattered light and shadow are reflected in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows on the top floor like stars.

A middle-aged man in a neat suit sat behind Obsidian's desk, slowly flipping through the documents in his hand.

Bang bang——

The sound of gentle footsteps came from far away, and a somewhat nervous man walked into the office and looked at the man sitting behind the desk, "Mr. Executive Officer."

"Don't be nervous. I watched Lynn's speech. What is the specific information we have received now?"

The middle-aged man did not raise his head, but still slowly looked through the information in his hand and asked slowly.

"The First Mercenary Regiment was completely defeated,"

The man breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "The four sky beasts were also shot down."

"Where is the first mercenary leader Crossway?"

The middle-aged man stopped moving his hands and continued to ask.

"We haven't received any news from him, our people are still making inquiries,"

The man paused, "But judging from the information sent by the group headquarters, this leader is likely..."

"I see,"

The middle-aged man slowly closed the document in his hand and sighed, "Our mayor is more capable than we thought,"

He raised his head and looked at the man, "Has there been any reply from the headquarters? Where's Copes Mining?"

"The headquarters said that sending out a mercenary group is already the limit,"

The man spoke slowly, "They will continue to sanction Yilan City in other places. Copes Mining said that they have not contacted their mercenary group and do not know the specific situation. Their intelligence officers are still looking for them in the wilderness. mercenary group."

Hearing this, the middle-aged man took a deep breath and asked, "How about the city council?"

"It's all settled,"

A smile appeared on the man's face, "Except for the people in Copes who are in charge of this matter, no one knows about our arrangements. This time we are looking for congressmen who have been in contact with us. Now is the time for Linn to be careless. , tomorrow’s parliamentary meeting will definitely give him a big surprise.”

"That's good,"

After hearing this, the middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief, "Everyone, please don't be nervous. Linn won't be able to jump around for long."

Buzz——

At this moment, a piercing alarm sounded in the office.

"What's wrong?"

The middle-aged man's expression changed and he directly picked up the phone on the table.

Then his movements froze and he stared blankly out the floor-to-ceiling window.

In the dark night outside the floor-to-ceiling window, a huge Seraph mecha was aiming its main gun at the office in front of him.

The surging engine spewed flames behind the mecha, and the bright and dazzling light illuminated the surrounding darkness, and also illuminated the dimly lit luxury office.

boom--

Immediately afterwards, a Dragoon fighter plane approached directly and smashed the floor-to-ceiling windows. Several soldiers, led by a young officer, rushed out of the fighter plane, jumped into the office, pointed their guns at the two people in the office, and shouted loudly, "The city defense forces arrest terrorists, put down their weapons and raise their hands."

"what are you saying!"

The middle-aged man looked at the soldiers rushing in front of him angrily, "Do you want to see what you are talking about? This is the Ilan headquarters of the Ivis Space System!"

Then he looked at the phone and yelled, "Security! Security!"

Bang-bang-

The leading young officer shot the middle-aged man's microphone to pieces, and then pointed the gun at the middle-aged man.

"I say it again, city defense troops arrest terrorists, put down their weapons, raise their hands, and kill those who resist! Do you want to see who is faster, your security or my gun?!"

The middle-aged man holding half of the microphone looked at all this with a pale face, and then raised his hand tremblingly.

The man on the side also slowly raised his hand.

White Jasmine Palace

"I remember you just lay here two days ago,"

In the brightly lit medical room, Des, who was wearing surgical clothes, looked at the old man lying on the operating table and said helplessly, "You brought yourself to the point of death last time, and your injuries this time are actually worse than last time." Heavy."

"Maybe we are quite destined and have to come back to see you often."

He Ao smiled.

"Fate? Say goodbye, I don't believe in those nonsense things,"

Des slowly peeled off the blood scab on the old man's body, took out a bottle of special medicine and began to clean the wound, "I just hope you will stop running to me. I still rely on you in the hospital in Yilan City. If you don't If you do this, I doubt whether you will be able to give me money alive to help me build the hospital."

"Arrangements are already being made and it will be repaired soon."

He Ao laughed hoarsely.

"Don't draw cakes for me. How much labor have I done here for you just to eat your cake?"

Des put down the cleaning potion in his hand, lowered his head, and carefully observed the wounds on He Ao's body, "Did you use the church's healing items?"

"Yes, I have used it."

He Ao nodded slightly.

"There is no such thing as a free bargain in this world. Goddess's things are great when you use them, but you have to pay a corresponding price after using them. Your body is a bit overdrawn now,"

Des sighed, "But I don't advise you either. If you don't use that thing, you might not be able to see me alive."

Then he fumbled around and took out a small jar of mithril.

"You should be lucky that your doctor is me. The church will always have some medicine that activates the body and relieves overdraft. However, the side effects of this medicine are very obvious. It is very painful even if it is applied to the skin. It is almost painful if it is applied to the wound. No one can bear it,

"If you can't bear it anymore and can't control your body anymore, just tell me."

"good."

He Ao nodded.

While talking, Des had already taken out a silver applicator from the other side, carefully poured the bright white liquid in the jar onto the applicator, and then applied it evenly on He Ao's wound bit by bit.

The severe pain, as if the skin was torn apart, was transmitted to He Ao's brain along the sensitive nerves.

"Just say it if you can't help it."

Des said slowly while applying it.

"good."

He Ao took a slight breath and smiled.

Des, who was applying the medicine, glanced at He Ao, "You are the only one I have seen who can still smile calmly after applying this medicine. There are many people who were very confident before applying the medicine, but after applying it, they started to cry for father and mother. .”

"It still hurts a little bit,"

He Ao smiled, and then he seemed to remember something and asked, "How is the situation of the little guy named Jielin's mother?"

"I've already had a minor surgery,"

Des slowly applied the medicine, "His mother's tumor itself is not serious. The medicine prescribed by Kervis has effectively controlled the condition. However, long-term malnutrition and disease have made her body a little weak and she will need to recover for a while."

"That's good."

He Ao smiled and nodded.

The operating room gradually became silent, except for the sound of medicine being applied.

Buzz——

At this moment, He Ao's bracelet placed on the platform next to him vibrated.

He Ao stretched out his hand and picked up the bracelet.

"You still have to deal with official business at this time?"

Des was a little confused.

"no,"

He Ao glanced at the message received on the bracelet, "The mayor's office received many emails from Yilan citizens, and they sorted them out and sent them to me."

The mayor's office cataloged the mail, most of which came from the North and South Sides.

He Ao clicked on one of the emails.

At the same time, looking at He Ao waiting for the mail to be opened, Des applied medicine to the last wound.

Then he glanced at the medicine on He Ao's wound, then looked at He Ao's calm expression, and frowned in confusion.

He looked at the liquid on the applicator in his hand, hesitated for a moment, put the medicine jar aside, then raised the applicator, and dabbed a little of the liquid on the applicator on the back of his hand.

"hiss--"

At this moment, he took a breath and covered his hands. His whole body instantly curled up and tightened, and he hit the shelf next to him.

"What's wrong?"

Accompanied by the sound of thunder and bang, He Ao turned his head in confusion,

"It's okay, hiss——"

Des curled up, hurriedly arranged the items on the shelf with one hand, put down the applicator, leaned on the chair next to him, and waved his hands with difficulty, "It's a little cramped, just take a rest, don't worry about me, hiss--"

"Okay, let me know if you need help."

He Ao glanced at him, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong with his body, he nodded lightly.

Then he withdrew his gaze and looked at the unfolded mail on the bracelet.

[Mr. Linn:]

[We are home, home is still there, just like when we left, everyone is fine. ]

[We are all still alive. ]

[Thank you and good night. ]
