Psychics don't die from gunfire

At dawn the next day, the top of the city government building in Panyan City.

Song Shi sat cross-legged on the edge of the rooftop, overlooking the city below.

Compared with yesterday, Panshi City today has not changed at all.

The only thing that was different from the past was that the vehicle parking lot next to the city hall was extremely crowded.

"wasteless effort"

Song Shi chewed on the word and raised his eyes slightly.

Those rusty reds are like the city's bloodline, crawling through the weeds of abandoned factories, winding their way into potholed streets, floating with alcohol and addictive substances, like an unstoppable wave, slowly and forcefully engulfing everyone in the city. Every corner, even the wind carries a lingering smell of dilapidation.

And a slightly stronger smell of blood.

Song Shi didn't turn around and suddenly said: "What do you think of this statement?"

Anthony, who had just climbed over the wall, pulled his suit and tie after hearing this and stopped three meters away.

A whole night of high-intensity attendance and government affairs failed to show any signs of fatigue on the man's face, which remained as grim as ever.

"Your Excellency, what aspect do you want me to answer?"

"Uh, tell me everything."

"Yes." Anthony did not hesitate, as if he had already prepared the plan: "If you are referring to the operation of governance, you have been very successful. With the actions of you and Lord Lapis Lazuli, so far, the Lorati and Moore families have and affiliated forces have all collapsed or voluntarily surrendered.”

"All the primary relevant persons involved in major cases involving Panyan City in recent years, including but not limited to excessive corruption, serial murders, etc., have been captured, and the processing of sub-level cases and personnel is also progressing in an orderly manner. The investigation of the persons involved in the case has been completed. The property under our name will be handed over by our designated personnel under supervision.”

"The functional positions vacated by this have indeed caused a certain degree of confusion, but this is temporary and can be resolved by waiting for subsequent personnel to fill in."

Song Shi knocked on the porcelain tiles on the rooftop, and like a theater troupe setting off a fire ring, the entire surface of the rooftop instantly lit up with red-gold flames, giving it a brand new look.

"What about the other side?"

"This is not something you need to solve." Anthony faced the flames and approached the rooftop so that he could overlook the city: "As I said last night, I arrived in Panyan City three days before you."

"While waiting for your arrival, I checked the files of the natural resources, business management, and urban construction planning departments in the past ten years, and conducted on-site visits. What I must tell you is that, unfortunately, the economic status of Panshi City is... I’m afraid it’s irreversible.”

No need to hold a manuscript report.

With the enhancement of brain-computer interfaces, micro-supercomputers, information integration modules and other prosthetics, coupled with his past government experience in the Ministry of Justice, Anthony answered the question extremely smoothly.

“During the Seven-Turk War, several mineral veins were discovered in the suburbs of Panyan City. In addition, the location was relatively safe at that time. As a result, it received a lot of support including but not limited to policy bills, built a transportation network extending in all directions, and vigorously promoted the development of the secondary industry. ”

"But now, Panyan City's geographical location is no longer advantageous, and only the last of those veins have not been completely exhausted, leading to the relocation of a large number of factories and serious population loss. This has resulted in high unemployment and crime rates, domestic violence and separation , the proliferation of addictive substances, political corruption and other phenomena.”

Anthony paused here for a moment: "Your Excellency, what I must say is that you have done enough, and the above phenomenon will inevitably be alleviated to a certain extent. Please do not hold the idea of ​​'complete improvement' to patrol the border. The supervisory authority is allocated resources from other places to be injected into Panyan City.”

"This will become an extra burden for Ye Nan, a kind of..." The man thought about his words: "A wasteful move."

"Is this a reminder?" Song Shi turned 180 degrees and laughed.

Facing the other party's gaze, Anthony's expression remained unchanged: "This is a suggestion."

"No need for advice actually—"

Song Shi stood up and stepped on the edge of the rooftop: "I'm pretty good at this."

Anthony said: "This is not your problem."

Song Shi was stunned for a moment, and seemed to be amused: "Don't do this kind of relief next time, I just sigh."

"As you wish." Anthony pressed his right hand on his heart.

Suddenly there was a slight sound of breaking through the air in the distance, and suddenly, a shadow flew from the distant sky to the top of the city hall building.

lapis lazuli.

"Field operations, completed."

"How many have been killed?" Song Shi asked with concern.

"Suppress four and kill two."

"That's okay."

Song Shi said "Oh——" and motioned Lapis Lazuli to sit wherever he wanted.

Under the authority of patrol supervision, nothing in Panyan City dared to stop him - "Mendan Loradi" last night was definitely not planning a fight to the death.

"Use part of the assets received from the Lorati and Moore families to subsidize the field personnel of the Security Bureau." Song Shi pondered and made a decision: "During this period, let them divide into three shifts, working day and night, to strengthen the Panyan City’s patrol will kill all those who feel that they are about to take advantage of the chaos or have already made a move.”

"Then we'll go to the next stop."

".The schedule is so tight?" Lapis Lazuli seemed a little surprised.

"There is no point in staying any longer." Song Shi jumped off the rooftop and sighed: "The ones who should be killed have been killed, and those who should be replaced have been replaced. For the rest, I can't create a lot of jobs here out of thin air."

"And after all, the situation is not so bad that everyone is outraged." Song Shi pressed the roof and extinguished all the ignited flames: "Don't you think so?"

Lapis Lazuli did not answer or refute, obviously acquiescing.

Even for families like Lorati and Moore who have been rooted in Panyan City for decades, except for a very few people who enjoy immunity such as "Mendan Lorati", most family members do not dare to kill people in the street. If it's not allowed legally, you'll die.

It won't be like the East Rift Republic, where you only need to pay a small fine and it won't matter.

Of course, as for finding a scapegoat after committing a murder in private and exchanging benefits with the top brass of the Security Bureau to cover it up, that is another matter.

The relocation of factories in Panshi City caused a large number of locals to lose their jobs. However, even if the financial compensation for dismissal can only be called meager after being deducted at all levels, it is still a real amount of money after all.

It will not be like those companies in the enterprise alliance, where the labor agreement is calculated and calculated. When you are finally kicked out of the office, you find that you still owe the company money and need a loan to repay the favor.

Lapis Lazuli understands this.

Panyan City's finances are tight and the economy is depressed, so the salaries of public employees are not high and are often in arrears. This is one of the reasons why the Lorati and Moore families have been extremely successful in political corruption.

Perhaps this new group of people who have been supported now will work hand in hand with the next "Lorati" and the next "Moir" in the future to create Panyan's glory.

But at least for now, everything is new.

Enough is enough.
