In the car, Ji Xun sat silently in the corner.

His "unsociable" persona had been established, and his colleagues ignored him and just chatted on their own.

"Boss, where are you going on this mission?"

"There was a fight between workers at the gunpowder factory, and more than a dozen people died. I heard that the explosion was very bad, and it was another tricky job..."

"Oh, the people in the trade union have taken some wrong medicine recently, and they are also making noises and holding parades. People are dying every day, and they don't know what they are trying to do."

"I heard that a consortium from the upper city opened a factory, and the salary was nearly 4,000 a month, which is much higher than other factories. At first, the gang members said it was a conspiracy, and no one went. But later, those who tried got it Because of the money, people in other factories gradually started to make trouble. The union also put a lot of pressure on the gang..."

"Yes. My buddy is the 'wall painter'. Recently, the gang has sent out a mission and assassinated several foremen who took the lead in causing trouble..."

"The average worker's salary is already 4,000? Hiss... So the wages of our body collectors should also be increased."

"..."

It was no longer new for Ji Xun to hear these things.

Workers are also one of the biggest sources of unrest in Innocence City recently.

After Cao Sihai was killed, the federal congressmen also realized that it was difficult to defeat the hard nut of Innocence City by relying on force alone.

The chaebol businessmen obviously have a further vision and their methods are much more sophisticated.

They knew that once the Old Continent was developed on a large scale, Innocence City would inevitably become a choke point city, so they began to seize various resources in Innocence City as soon as they arrived.

With its huge financial resources, it acquired, invested in and built a large number of factories.

The chaebols are extremely wealthy and concentrate on grabbing resources in order to squeeze out the small workshops in the city in a short period of time, so they raise wages very high, poaching people at almost two or three times their salary.

This suddenly caused the conflicts among the people at the bottom of Innocence City to change from external conflicts to internal conflicts.

For example, Nuggets Pier.

Although the Nugget Terminal, the only connection to the Old World, is controlled by gangs, it is the lower-level workers who actually do the work.

There was no risk and the salary was low.

The porters only cost 3,000 a month.

Now someone is offering 6000, who are you going to do it with?

It would be weird not to make trouble.

This is a clear plan.

Even if you know it, there is nothing you can do.

Is it possible that the gangs in Innocence City can still play with the chaebol to increase their wages?

I tasted the sweetness at first, but it was eaten away bit by bit.

Even if I want to stop it now, I can't.

People at the bottom can never be the opponents of those politicians when it comes to playing tricks and economics.

The influx of a large amount of hot money has also caused prices in Innocence City to skyrocket. People have to pursue higher salaries if they want to survive, and conflicts will become more and more intense.

But this is a supernatural world, where power reigns supreme over politics.

Originally, the methods of businessmen were not so vicious, at least not that some people had such long-term vision.

But it seems that another invisible force is secretly adding fuel to the flames. Someone is deliberately directing the direction of the wind at several key points, and the turmoil is becoming more and more intense.

Ji Xun sensed a familiar formula from the recent turmoil.

Like the labyrinth of a large cemetery, a few pieces of news ruined the Cao family's path to governorship.

I never saw any "mastermind" from beginning to end.

The same is true for this turmoil.

Obviously, there are master plans behind these turmoils.

If the riots continue like this, before long, even if the nobles don't send any lords to suppress it, all classes in Innocence City will conflict and divide themselves.

This kind of method was not surprising to Ji Xun in his previous life when information was developed.

But he also thought it was pretty good.

Judging from the information he has learned now, the mysterious "Old Continent" is a place with real legends of gods and demons.

That is the sea of ​​stars.

Ji Xun is full of interest in that kind of mysterious place.

It would be better to develop it earlier.

...

Not long after, the steam truck arrived at the gunpowder factory.

The fighting here has receded and it's a mess, just waiting for their corpse collectors to clean up the battlefield.

Ji Xun and others got out of the car and started collecting the bodies as usual.

Originally, this was a very ordinary field mission, gathering the stumps, spraying chemicals, and then bagging them into the car.

However, no one expected that a strange event would happen.

After closing it, the light all around suddenly became brighter.

It's not the light from a dim gas lamp.

It's a bright silver light.

Suddenly, someone shouted: "Look, what is that in the sky!"

Ji Xun was also attracted by the light. When he looked up, he was also stunned.

The sky shows a strange phenomenon.

This is...

moon?

Ji Xun's eyes froze.

I don’t know when, but there was an extra bright moon in the sky!

Why is there a moon in the dungeon?

He dazzled and thought he had seen it wrong.

But if you take a closer look, isn't that bright celestial body in the sky just a silver-hook-like moon?

Ji Xun looked at it and his eyes narrowed, and he was also very confused: "What is going on..."

Although the space of this underground city is high, it is far from high enough to accommodate such a huge celestial body.

What you see in your eyes is not necessarily the real thing, but most likely some kind of optical anomaly similar to projection.

"how did you make it?"

Ji Xun observed for a while, but could not see the projected light trace.

To the naked eye, the moon looked exactly like the real thing, hanging high in the endless darkness.

Moreover, looking at it, it seems that the moon has a magical power, which makes people feel a sense of spiritual pleasure.

Ji Xun found this feeling strangely familiar.

...

"What it is?"

"I don't know. Is it the new lighting device made by the Shangcheng Laboratory?"

"Hey, don't tell me, it looks pretty."

"..."

The people in the dungeon have never seen the moon, and no one knows what it means.

One by one, they pointed at the luminous objects in the sky.

Ji Xun always felt that something was wrong with Jing'er, and vaguely felt that something big was about to happen.

However, the moment he thought about it carefully, an idea flashed in his mind, and he shouted in his heart: "This is how it feels!"

He finally realized that the familiar feeling just now was for nothing.

Previously in the secret room of the maze in the cemetery, he looked at the "?" symbol carving on the ceiling.

That's how it felt at the time!

Exactly the same!

Suddenly, Ji Xun understood immediately and had already determined the direction in his heart: "The moon in the sky... was made by the group of believers of the old gods behind the cellar in Tailor Street!"

And almost as soon as he looked at it for a moment, a piece of enlightenment emerged that made people think deeply: "You are exempt from a slight trace of belief pollution."

"This... pollutes faith!"
