Night Hacker Chapter 96: The Walled City is calling
The rain stopped in the morning, but maybe there will be a bigger rain coming, and the air in the Walled City is getting hotter and hotter.
It may also be because many tourists came to the city walled city, as well as returning sons who left the city walled city and came back to participate in the festival. Everyone huddled in the streets outside the Walled City of Daxing City, while those who knew the way had already entered the Walled City and boarded the noisy rooftop.
Elizabeth has not left for the past two days, and spent the night at a rooftop hotel in the building where the postman's headquarters is located.
Today is the day of the festival, and she is wearing a nimble orange windbreaker and blue jeans, and she is also among the crowd on the rooftop at this time.
"The festival is about to begin."
"Look over there, that pegasus is so beautiful."
The joyful cries of the children were endless, and they jumped up and down excitedly, walking back and forth.
The gloomy and gloomy sky can highlight the neon signs and various lighting decorations on the exterior walls and rooftops of the building, and the people's hair and clothing colors are also more colorful, and of course there is the festival parade.
Elizabeth also watched the excitement, which can only be seen in the Walled City area.
The parade consisted of priests arranged by the council and some postmen on the rooftop. The priests wore city-style ceremonial dresses, and the postmen were still in blue uniforms, working together to carry the sacrificial utensils.
There are traditional lanterns, dazzling neon signs, and rare flowers here.
Among them, the most eye-catching is a giant electronic mechanical horse in the middle of the team, which is realistic in shape and colorful.
This pegasus, which symbolizes success in the Walled City, was carried by the sacrificial personnel and postmen from the roof of one building to the roof of the other building, cruising back and forth among the crowded buildings in the shape of a word, causing people to burst into excitement. burst of voices.
But not everyone was elated, and some people looked like the misty dark clouds, untouched by the ceremony.
Elizabeth had already noticed that hesitation, doubt, and frustration haunted them.
They lost confidence in the status quo and the future of the Walled City, and the invisible power fabricated in that magic show was wandering in their hearts.
"Miss Elizabeth, this is the graphics just made by the computer."
The security team was standing guard around her, and Ayako hurried forward with a few people holding a Seth laptop.
Elizabeth immediately checked the computer, which recorded the miraculous graffiti collected by the Red Rain investigation team in the past two days.
In this labyrinth of the Walled City, outsiders are not allowed to come in and draw a map. They did not draw a map, but cooperated with the postman's headquarters to record all nearby places where graffiti dots appeared as a red dot. form a three-dimensional image.
She looked at the dense red dots on the screen, which seemed to be in a certain sequence, and pulled the keyboard a few times, feeling a sudden chill.
These graffiti red dots can be combined to form a magical graffiti, and after changing the angle, it can still be the same magical graffiti.
"It's something everyone visualizes." Said the monk Wuzhen next to him, "It's also the embodiment of everyone's inner demons."
The surrounding festivals became more and more lively, but Elizabeth felt a danger was approaching.
There are thousands of these graffiti spots entered by the investigation team alone. According to Xiaomei and other postmen, this is far more than that, and new graffiti spots can appear at any time.
She doesn't have that much manpower to guard all the graffiti spots, and she asked Seth to send support personnel yesterday.
But the response above was to let her figure it out on her own. The cost input of the family and the company to her product is not unlimited. During the trial sales period of the new product, if it fails, the loss can be stopped at any time.
So Elizabeth could only spend money, and asked Daoist Yu Cheng to urgently hire some mercenaries from inside and outside the city to guard.
However, it is not enough.
In addition to the people from the City Race Council, the postman, and the people from the various gates of the Walled City Gang, it is still far from enough.
Mr. Drow probably saw her sincerity and was not so hostile to her now. He told her that the key point today was not the graffiti spots, but the ceremony on the roof, so the council concentrated its personnel on the roof.
There is some fire, there is no way to contain it from burning.
But what they have to do is to let more people put out fires than arsonists.
If a fire breaks out and some people die... that's not something the council would like to see, but it's powerless to stop it entirely.
"Wow, fireworks!" At this time, there was another burst of children's cheers.
Elizabeth saw that the mechanical pegasus raised its head and sent out a message image towards the sky, and some fireworks exploded in the sky, turning into brilliant and flickering lights, but there would be no open flames.
This is not like an electronic hologram, but the power of a painter transcendent.
At the same time, the runners continued to fly between the buildings, bringing out a series of bright lights and shadows.
Whether it is a child or an adult, more and more people praised it, and the dark clouds were gradually illuminated.
Elizabeth knew that those fireworks were not only good-looking, but also disenchanted, dispelling the charm of breaking the magical graffiti.
The fabrications of the two scenes are quietly competing. While the fireworks ignite the beginning of the ceremony, they also let the magic show begin.
Her eyes suddenly converged involuntarily, and she saw a fire bursting out of the window of a unit on the middle floor of the opposite building.
But the crowd hadn't noticed this strange situation, and the lively and jubilant festival was still going on.
Elizabeth looked at the computer screen again. All the graffiti points revolved around a central point.
That's the roof of Guangmao Building, not far away.
The Guangmao Building was where the fire started last year. Now it has been rebuilt, and there are more bars, strip clubs and theaters. It is more prosperous than before, but it seems that the funds coming in from outside the Walled City.
"Let's go to the center!" Elizabeth said immediately, "That's the stage of the magic show."
Monk Wuzhen and Taoist Yucheng both meant the same thing, but the security team reminded that it was dangerous and not suitable to go there.
"I can feel that we are needed there." Elizabeth said calmly, and walked resolutely, "If there are fires everywhere and people die everywhere, the ceremony will be impossible to complete. The tragedy like last year cannot happen again!
Mr. Deloitte's middle-aged face was silent. The fire was not far away, and a postal team had already gone to deal with it.
But what she said is actually correct. Whether the ceremony can be completed depends on the hearts of the people and the invisible collection of thought data.
"Xiaomei, follow me and take a look! Help Miss Sterling if you need... try to control the fire and save people as much as possible. Hold on for a while, the ceremony has not yet reached that level, and it is not enough to break the magic power Made up."
……
"Miss Sophia, the building over there is on fire, and there is an unknown conflict in the festival."
The Gaisborn motorcade stopped on the street outside the Daxing Walled City. Sophia didn't get out of the car, but she also heard the commotion outside.
She was using a satellite phone to communicate with Wilson, but suddenly heard the report from the security team captain Durham from the intercom, "I suggest that we all leave the Walled City immediately."
"Wilson, what's going on?" Sophia asked quickly, "There is a fire here, and there is a conflict."
"This is the Walled City, and this festival was born out of conflict. This is the shrewdness of those cyber cowboys. Chaos can provide them with the best chance of diversion. Once they pretend to be killed in the fire Burned to death, if we go for plastic surgery in private, it is impossible for us to track them down."
Sophia heard Wei Wei anxious, and used the walkie-talkie to command the security captain Durham: "Go and meet with Director Wilson immediately, he has street people who are involved in the company's major interests and need to be arrested, immediately!"
However, Captain Durham was unmoved, her sixth level B clearance was not so useful.
"Miss Sophia, we are only responsible for keeping you safe. It is not our task to take risks and arrest people."
A bunch of idiots! Sophia is fed up with always having a bunch of idiots on her hands.
She took a deep breath, calmed herself down, asked the security team a few questions, and confirmed that there was no fire in the main council building of Daxing Walled City, and Elizabeth Sterling was on the rooftop above.
"Hurry up." Wilson was urging, "Those cowboys are going to take advantage of the chaos and move, I can't beat them alone!"
Sophia looked outside at the bustling streets that were still crowded with people. Like Wilson said, isn't it normal for the Walled City to be a bit chaotic? Otherwise, why would she bring so many security guards here and spend money on these things? ?
It's all here, it's all here, it's here...
How could she just leave empty-handed like this~IndoMTL.com~ Obviously so far, the whole thing has been driven by her plan...
"I'm going to meet Wilson." Sophia made a decision, opened the car door, carried her handbag, stepped on the broken concrete floor with her high heels, and set foot on the road in the walled area for the first time in her life. Smelly and broken place.
She ignored the strange gazes of those Walled City guys on the road, and walked directly into the narrow alley, and walked into the Daxing Walled City. The security personnel had to get out of the car to follow in a hurry.
"Take me to Wilson!" Sophia handed the satellite phone to Captain Durham, "Hurry up."
Captain Durham sighed, and had to open the way with the company's internal city tour guide, and walked towards the location Wilson said. The security team protected Miss Sophia in the middle.
As Sophia walked, she looked at the cramped and dilapidated scene around her, and listened to the noise from the roof above, but she looked up but couldn't see anything. It seemed that there was always only the densely packed reinforced concrete illegally built.
This made her sick for a while, and at the same time, a sense of depression and anxiety arose.
But none of these emotions can overwhelm another surge of excitement due to the victory that is close at hand.
It's just that a large group of them walked around in the narrow alleys where only one or two people were standing, and this huge maze gradually revealed its hideousness.
The sweltering air made Sophia sweat a little, and her red high heels looked even more out of place.
"Wilson, how far is it?" she asked, holding back her satellite phone.
But it seems that Wilson's signal is not good, hissing and rustling, and the voice is distorted so that he can't hear clearly.
Suddenly, it came so suddenly, and the security personnel who opened the way at the front shouted anxiously: "Retreat, retreat! There is an illusion!"
