The rain stopped in the morning, but perhaps a heavier rain is coming, and the air in the walled city will become more and more muggy.
It may also be because there are many tourists coming to the walled city, and Guizi who have left the walled city and come back to participate in the festival. Everyone is crowded on the streets outside the walled area in the Daxing Walled City, while people who are familiar with the road have 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. She is wearing a smart orange trench coat and blue jeans, and she is also among the crowd on the rooftop.
"The festival is about to begin."
"Look over there, that Pegasus is so beautiful."
The children's cries of joy were endless, and they jumped up and down excitedly.
The gloomy and dim sky highlights the neon signs and various lighting decorations on the building's exterior walls and rooftops. People's various hair colors and clothes also appear more colorful, and of course there are also festival parades.
Elizabeth also saw the excitement. Such a scene can only be seen in the Walled City.
The parade was composed of sacrificial personnel arranged by the council and some rooftop postmen. The sacrificial personnel wore city walled-style ceremonial attire, while the postmen were still in blue uniforms, and they worked together to carry the sacrificial utensils.
There are traditional lanterns, dazzling neon signs, and rare flowers here.
The most eye-catching thing among them is a giant electronic mechanical horse in the middle of the team, with a realistic shape and colorful colors.
This Pegasus, which symbolizes success in the walled city, was carried by the priests and postmen from the rooftop of the building here to the rooftop of the building there, parading back and forth between the crowded buildings in the shape of a mouth, causing waves of people's shouts.
But not everyone was in high spirits. Some people's expressions were like those misty dark clouds, untouched by the festival.
Elizabeth had already noticed that there was a wave of hesitation, doubt and frustration surrounding them.
They lost confidence in the current situation and future of the walled city, and the invisible power of that magical show was wandering in their hearts.
"Miss Elizabeth, this is a graphic just made by the computer."
The security team was on guard around her, and Ayako hurried forward with a few people holding a Seth laptop.
Elizabeth immediately checked the computer, which contained the magical graffiti that the Red Rain Investigation Team had tried their best to count over the past two days.
In the maze of the Walled City, outsiders were not allowed to come in and draw a map. They did not draw a map. Instead, they had to cooperate with the postman headquarters to enter all nearby places with graffiti as a red dot to form a map.
3D image.
She looked at the densely packed red dots on the screen that looked like some kind of sequence, and pulled on the keyboard a few times, feeling suddenly chilled.
These graffiti red dots can be gathered together to form a magical graffiti, and after changing the angle, it can still be the same magical graffiti.
"The thing that everyone is imagining," said the monk Wu Zhen next to him, "is also the incarnation of everyone's inner demons."
The surrounding festivals were becoming more and more lively, but Elizabeth felt that a danger was approaching.
There are thousands of these graffiti points recorded by the investigation team alone. According to Xiaomei and other postmen, this is far more than that, and hundreds or even thousands of new graffiti points can appear at any time.
She doesn't have the manpower to guard all the graffiti spots, so she asked Seth to send support personnel yesterday.
But the above response is to let her figure it out on her own. The cost investment of her family and the company in her product is not unlimited. During the trial sale period of the new product, if it does not work, the loss can be stopped at any time.
So Elizabeth could only spend money and ask Taoist Yu Cheng to urgently hire some mercenaries from inside and outside the walled city to guard the city.
However, it is far from enough.
In addition to the people from the Chengsai Council and the postman, as well as the people from the various Tang offices of the Chengzhai Gang, it is still far from enough.
Mr. Dro, probably seeing her sincerity, was not so hostile to her now, and told her that the key today was not the graffiti spots, but the festival on the rooftop. Therefore, the council concentrated its personnel on the rooftop.
Some fires cannot be stopped from burning.
But what they want to do is to have more people putting out fires than setting fires.
If a fire breaks out and some people are burned to death...that is not what the council wants to see, but it is powerless to completely prevent it.
"Wow, fireworks!" At this time, another burst of children's cheers sounded.
All Elizabeth saw was that the mechanical Pegasus raised its head and sent a message image into the sky. Many fireworks exploded in the sky, turning into bright and flashing lights, but there was no open flame.
This is not like an electronic hologram, but the extraordinary power of the painter.
At the same time, the runners continued to fly between the buildings, also bringing out streams of smart light and shadow.
Whether it is children or adults, more and more people praise me, and the dark clouds are gradually illuminated.
Elizabeth knew that those fireworks were not only beautiful to look at, but also disenchanting, dispelling the charm of that magical graffiti.
The two fabrications are quietly competing. While the fireworks ignite the beginning of the festival, they also allow the magic show to begin.
Her eyes suddenly couldn't help but focus, and she saw fire coming out of the window of a unit on the middle floor of the building opposite.
The crowd had not noticed this unusual occurrence, and the lively and joyful festival continued.
Elizabeth looked at the computer screen again. All the graffiti points were centered around a central point.
That's the rooftop of Guangmao Building, not far away.
The Guangmao Building was the first place where the fire broke out last year. It has been rebuilt and now has some bars, strip clubs and theaters. It is more prosperous than before, but the money coming in seems to be money from outside the Walled City.
"Let's go to the center!" Elizabeth said immediately, "That's the stage for the magic show."
Monk Wu Zhen and Taoist Yu Cheng all meant this, but the security team warned that it was dangerous and not suitable to go there.
"I can feel that we are needed there." Elizabeth walked over resolutely, "If there are fires everywhere and people are killed everywhere, the festival cannot be completed. Tragedies like last year cannot happen again!
Mr. Dro's middle-aged face was silent. The fire point was close to the fire, and a team of postmen was already there to deal with it.
But she is actually right. Whether a festival can succeed depends on the human heart, that invisible collection of thought data.
"Xiao Mei, come and have a look! If necessary, help Miss Sterling... try to control the fire and save as many people as possible. If you hold on for a while, the festival has not reached that point yet, and it is not enough to break the fabrication of the magical power."
…
"Miss Sophia, there is a fire in the building over there, and there is an unknown conflict at the festival."
Gasboy's motorcade stopped on the street outside Daxing Walled City. Sophia did not get out of the car, but she heard the noise outside.
She was communicating with Wilson on her satellite phone when she heard the captain of the security team, Durham, report on the intercom: "I suggest that we all leave the Walled Area immediately."
"Wilson, what's going on?" Sophia asked quickly, "There's a fire here and there's 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 burned to death in a fire
If they go for plastic surgery in private, it is impossible for us to track them down."
Sophia was slightly anxious as she listened, and used the intercom to command security captain Durham: "You go and meet Director Wilson right away. There are street people involved in the company's major interests who need to be arrested, right away!"
However, Captain Durham was unmoved. Her sixth-level Class B authority was not that easy to use.
"Miss Sophia, we are only responsible for keeping you safe. It is not our task to take risks and arrest people."
What a bunch of idiots! Sophia is fed up with having a bunch of idiots at her disposal.
She took a deep breath to calm down, asked the security team a few questions, and confirmed that there was no fire in Daxing Walled City, and that Elizabeth Sterling was on the rooftop above.
"Hurry up." Wilson urged, "Those cowboys are going to take advantage of the chaos and move away. I can't defeat them by myself!"
Sophia looked outside at the lively streets where people were still coming and going. As Wilson said, isn't it normal for the Walled City to be a little chaotic? Otherwise, why would she bring so many security guards here and spend money to maintain these things?
It's all here, it's all here, it's all here...
How could she just return empty-handed? It was obvious that the whole thing so far was based on her plan...
"I'm going to meet Wilson." Sophia made a decision, opened the car door, and stepped onto the shabby concrete floor with her handbag. It was the first time in her life that she set foot on the road in the Walled City, this shabby place.
She ignored the strange looks from the Walled City guys on the road and walked directly into the narrow alleys towards Daxing Walled City. The security personnel had to get out of their cars in a hurry to follow.
"Take me to Wilson!" Sophia handed the satellite phone to Captain Durham, "Hurry."
Captain Durham sighed and had to clear the way with the company's internal tour guide, heading 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 noisy noise coming from the rooftop above. She looked up but could not see anything. It seemed that there was always only the dense and dense illegal construction of reinforced concrete.
This made her feel sick, and she also felt depressed and uneasy.
But these emotions could not overpower another surge of excitement due to the victory that was just around the corner.
However, as a large group of them walked around the small alley, the giant maze gradually revealed its ferocity.
The muggy air made Sophia a little hot and sweaty, and her red high heels looked even more inappropriate.
"Wilson, how far is it?" she asked as she took back the satellite phone.
But the signal on Wilson's side seemed to be poor, hissing and rustling, and the words were distorted to the point of being inaudible.
Suddenly, just out of the blue, the security personnel who were clearing the way at the front shouted: "Retreat, retreat! There is an illusion!"
