Chapter 40: Before the Storm
Lei Yue turned around and saw Ginny's figure in a goose-yellow dress walking into the bar from the night, but did not see Ayasha.
"Ah, Huahua, ah, Xiaoyue! We almost couldn't come back."
Ginny walked over to the bar and sat down, looking at them whom she hadn't seen for a few days, looking pitiful and exhausted.
She took a bottle of red wine and uncorked it, raised her head and drank half of the bottle before crying:
"Those border patrol agents have gone crazy, they are everywhere, and we were followed all the way. If Ayasha hadn't thrown them all away, we really wouldn't have been able to come back."
Lei Yue listened to this and said that Lingsha was back too, but she just didn't come to the bar.
"Okay, okay, aren't you sitting here now?" Sister Hua stopped Ginny from rambling, "How did things go?"
"It's done, Birdman Entertainment Company has been established, and the cross-border license is waiting for approval."
Ginny patted her chest with lingering fear, "Didn't you see that there are so many people applying in the Border Patrol Office's office hall, and everyone wants to make a fortune in Dongzhou."
"Of course." Sister Hua nodded, "According to the information I heard, the entertainment departments of several giants including Saito, Yutani, Miguang, and Gaia Heavy Industries have also got involved.
“There are countless other small and medium-sized companies with teams like ours.
“Fortunately, those giants all focus on ace stars with the image of ‘Heroes are born and save the world’.
Sister Hua looked at Lei Yue and explained:
“In the initial period when a world is integrated into the main realm, this type of packaging image is the most popular and easiest to promote to panicked and confused people.
“There are also some draws, which are positioned as ‘ordinary people can also be heroes’, and their popularity will be good.
“If we don’t compete with those giants in the mainstream market, we won’t be able to compete with them.
"Our dark bad boy just needs to eat well in the cult market! Maybe he can also bite a piece of the mainstream market, it depends on your performance."
At the same time, Ginny looked at Lei Yue in black, drank her wine with satisfaction and said:
"It's only been a few days since we last met. Xiao Yue, you look so much more handsome. Your whole temperament has changed."
Suddenly, her eyes widened, "Why are you still wearing that pocket bag? It's so ugly that even an eighty-year-old man won't like it, so throw it away. Huahua, I'm not talking about you..."
Ginny woke up when she saw Sister Hua, who was wearing the same black belt bag, with an expressionless face, and quickly changed the subject:
"Yes, yes, Xingbao is here too!"
Lei Yue suddenly became suspicious, "Xingbao?"
"Laki's daughter is only five years old and is completely different from Lackey."
Ginny pointed her finger in admiration and circled her head, "Xingbao's IQ is over 200, he is a genius child, and he already has no cards. It can be said that he is a good choice, except for having a garbage father."
She made an expression of smitten doting and added:
"Every time I see Xing Bao, I really want to have a child as smart and cute as her. Unfortunately, I am a waste that no one wants..."
"Hmm." Lei Yue ignored Ginny's gradual drunkenness and couldn't help but asked: "Is it your biological child?"
"My own, wonderful genes." The mohawk over there shook his head with emotion, "Laki has been so lucky for once in his life."
"Yeah, Lackey's favorite thing to do for a while was to force us to read the paternity test report."
Ginny drank wine as she spoke, her envy, jealousy and hatred written all over her drunken red face.
"Good luck with Xingbao. Our money-making team is missing one thing: brains." Sister Hua was very happy now, "Where is she?"
"She went shopping by herself." Ginny replied, "She said she wanted to get familiar with the environment in her hometown first and get some information on the way."
Lei Yue was really a little startled when he heard this. A five-year-old child is running around alone late at night?
You won't be kidnapped by a kidnapper...
But when he looked at Ginny, Sister Hua, and Mohawk, it was obvious that they were not worried at all.
Now, Lei Yue was really curious, genius child?
He looked at the crow on his left shoulder and complained silently:
"Like Sister Hua said, this doesn't seem to match the temperament of our team. My friend, what do you think?"
The crow was silent, and Sister Hua spoke again:
"Ginny, call your people from the Special Investigation Bureau and get the latest situation. How many days do we have left?"
"Oh." Ginny took a sip of wine and took out a pink mobile phone from her handbag.
Lei Yue suddenly became energetic and wanted to know the latest situation.
A shocking event is about to happen in Dongzhou, but the city seems to be calm.
In the past few days, he has asked everyone about the integration of "city to city" and the official's possible attitude and measures.
He knew that in the beginning, only the World Gate area was completely overlapping and expanded, and could communicate with the main realm.
This overlap will slowly expand in scope, and the speed is affected by many factors, but the time is always calculated in years, from one city, to multiple cities, to the complete integration of the entire world and the main realm.
With this gradual change, Spread City will become larger, so it is called "Spread City".
Therefore, even if the World Gate opens and Dongzhou begins to integrate into Spread City, there is no need for officials to evacuate the entire city.
In addition, Mohican said that the human body can neutralize heterogeneity and can also cause heterogeneity to spread. Blind evacuation is not advisable, especially for a big city with a population of nearly 20 million, which will only cause greater chaos.
However, Lackey also said that those with power will definitely run and run faster than anyone else.
Although after the great changes, there is a possibility that Area
However, how will Fulong Village, which is considered to be the location of the Gate of the World, be arranged?
Lei Yue is concerned about this issue.
At this time, Sister Hua stopped the music in the bar, Ginny pressed the phone to dial out, put the speaker on, and the other party's waiting ringtone came out from the phone:
"As a man, he should strengthen himself, stand tall and hold his chest high, be a pillar for everyone, and be a good man..."
Suddenly, the call was connected over there, and a rough male voice with some nervousness and joy came out:
"Ginny? Well, good evening!"
Ginny drank red wine leisurely, her voice was very gentle, like a little girl: "Synthetic oil? Well, it's me, good evening."
"Is today another day of hard work investigating the case?" She sounded distressed, "I made some sushi and wanted to bring it to you."
"No, no!" the big man on the other side of the phone said hurriedly. Hearing Ginny's voice, the big man's voice became even more urgent:
"It's not that I don't want to eat, I want to eat, I want to eat! But I really can't leave here, and it's not suitable for you to come here."
"Ah..." Ginny said again without saying anything, but seemed to have said a lot more.
Lei Yue suddenly shuddered and had goose bumps. Ginny really has a talent for acting...
Sister Hua had the disgusted expression of an old man looking at his cell phone on the subway, spitting out bitter tea from a mohawk, and was also made a little physically uncomfortable by Ginny's performance.
"Ginny, are you still in Dongzhou? It's not safe here! It's the eve of a storm now."
The big man said again, his voice full of apology: "I want to protect you, but I can't leave... You should use your own method to get back to Spread City."
"But people are worried about you." Ginny said weakly, "What's wrong, is Dongzhou going to be sealed off?"
"No, not really." The big man responded immediately, "I'm not sure. Actually, we are the ones investigating the case, and the Special Investigation Bureau, Border Patrol Bureau and other departments can't decide."
Lei Yue listened carefully and already had some understanding of this.
The Special Investigation Bureau originally thought it was just a murder case, and many people thought so, but now it is a major event that has opened the door to the world.
Matters of this level have already involved various organizations around the world, as well as forces in the main realm.
Especially an organization called "The Committee".
I heard that whenever a world door is opened, the committee will and has the responsibility to participate in coordination work so that the new member worlds can be integrated into the main realm in an orderly and smooth manner, striving to satisfy all parties.
As for Saito's giant companies, they will advance and promote the opening of the door to the world in order to seek more benefits.
Just from the dragonfly machine, Lei Yue saw the technology and power in the main realm.
Come to think of it, the Special Investigation Bureau really has no influence in front of the committee and those giant companies.
It is also because of this that the companies Sister Hua mentioned are operating in Dongzhou, preparing for the arrival of Dongzhou Night.
"Alas!" A long sigh came from the big man on the mobile phone, as if the other party had also thought about this and said helplessly:
"Dongzhou probably won't be closed. People from the committee are here...but Fulong Village will be closed soon, and all the villagers have to leave.
"The situation here has become very bad. Many things have appeared. Today, an extra street suddenly appeared. It has been there for three hours. It can't be used anymore..."
Lei Yue suddenly frowned. Fulong Village was going to be closed soon? Then he had to go back. The tombs of his mother-in-law and parents were still there.
"Ah, it's so bad." Ginny lamented, "Can't we still prevent the great changes in this world? How is the investigation of the case? Is there any hope of solving the case?"
"Well Ginny, I can't say too much, but we are now... very much like looking for a needle in a haystack."
The big man said a little frustrated, obviously confessing his bitterness to the woman he loved:
"This case is not simple. The clues may have emerged more than ten years ago. 'Why Fu Rong Village?'
"In the past two days, we mobilized many people to conduct a large-scale search of all available information about Fulong Village, including surveillance and images taken by the public, and only then did we find some new clues.
"It turns out that the garbage dump has been weird for a long time, and it didn't just happen recently.
