Central, suburban.
After Lao Le's death, the Pope selected by the cabinet came to power, and the archdiocese located here moved completely to the Twilight Church built by the powerful people in Weiyang District.
The archdiocese has been deserted since then. As the former core of the church, there is no one left here now. Instead, it is occupied by a group of vagrants who fled to the central government before and cannot live in the urban area because they have no household registration. It has become their camp.
Over a month's time, more and more homeless people gathered at the ruins of the Archdiocese, and the place was gradually evolving into a city similar to Sunside City.
Because it is located in the suburbs, the central government has laid out very few information networks here, and surveillance and various other electronic equipment are not as dense as in urban areas.
Previously, the church had jurisdiction here, and neither the Criminal Investigation Department nor the Detention Center had deployed much police force to such a place.
The archdiocese is now completely ruined. After the church moved, this place is not only occupied by a group of vagrants, but also some people in the central underground black market have taken a fancy to this place and want to use it to create a place for illegal transactions.
The wanderers gathered here have become the most suitable and cheap labor for these people.
So when Levi returned here, he was surprised to find that the diocese was not deserted, but on the contrary, it had expanded outwards with a circle of simple shacks on the original basis, making it more lively than before!
However, the shacks that were expanded outwards left a large space empty near the original gate of the parish, as if they were somewhat taboo about the land where hundreds of people had died a month ago.
When Levi walked in here, he could clearly feel that near the entrance, there were three or four idle men with various tattoos on their bodies and hair dyed in messy colors. They did not hide their gazes at all and were staring at him with ill intentions the whole time.
Compared with other refugees in the archdiocese, Levi's dress really seemed out of place. He was dressed neatly and cleanly, and his skin and appearance did not look like those who had been exposed to the wind and sun for a long time, had lived a hard life, and had experienced hard work. He did not look like a refugee who could not survive in the central city at all.
But Levi didn't care about their gazes. He looked around and walked into the parish which had now become completely unfamiliar. Someone had completed the transformation of this place. In addition to most of the shacks used for living, there were many shops on both sides of the road selling all kinds of shady little items.
Levi was very interested in all these things. In a shop, he even found the electronic equipment used to shield surveillance that he had bought from the students in the academy before, as well as cracked versions of low-end AI paid permissions produced by various companies, and even entry passes to major central research institutes.
He studied the so-called pass carefully, and 627 had already explained it to him in his ear.
"Central research institutes have some areas that are free to visit. The entrance passes sold here are passes for those free visiting areas. You can pick them up on site with the Central City Resident Registration Card."
Hearing this, Levi couldn't help but shook his head, threw the card onto the stall, turned around and continued walking forward.
He didn't know when six or seven people had quietly followed him and were observing his every move from a distance.
Levi obviously also noticed these people, but he didn't care at all, as if he saw nothing.
In the second half of the street, in addition to those scattered shops, there are actually street performers.
He was an old man wearing an old suit. Although his clothes looked shabby, he was meticulously dressed. On his shoulder was a violin that looked a bit old, and melodious music came from the strings.
The old man seemed quite immersed in the performance. He closed his eyes and didn't care at all whether there were any audiences in front of him. All his emotions were put into the performance!
About two or three minutes later, when the old man slowly stopped holding the bow and exhaled a long breath, a burst of soft applause suddenly sounded in his ears.
This surprised him a little, so he opened his eyes and saw a young man wearing a black windbreaker, with long flowing hair and looking quite artistic, applauding his performance.
"Excited and shocked, it's like I'm grabbing fate by the throat, and I have to resist it!"
In response to Levi's comments, the old man smiled, and even though there was only one audience member in front of him, he bowed politely to thank them.
"This is a nocturne composed by the Western District musician Schutte in 187 AD. There are very few people who understand and appreciate this piece of music now. Did you stop in front of me because you heard this piece of music?"
Faced with the old man's question, Levi just shrugged.
"No, I only know the Fifth Symphony when it comes to Western classical music, and I made up the review. Just listen to it for fun."
The old man looked surprised. He stared blankly at the young man in front of him, not knowing how to comment.
"You are really..."
"Mr. Huang Yiming, if you still have the time to perform and play the violin here, why don't we discuss a cooperation? Are you interested?"
Levi had no intention of wasting time. He stared into the old man's eyes and spoke directly to the point.
After hearing the name that he had hidden for who knows how many years and that almost no one in the world still remembered, the old man playing the violin's pupils shrank slightly.
His expression turned cold, he picked up the guitar case from the side and put the guitar in it.
"I don't know the person you're talking about, and I don't have any plans to discuss cooperation with anyone. Sorry, if it's convenient, please move aside. I'm going home to eat."
Just when he was about to leave, the group of thugs who had been following Levi seemed to have finally waited for someone. They no longer hid their figures, surrounded a burly man with a bulge in his waist, and rushed towards Levi!
"That's him! Brother Wang! This guy is most likely the cop from the city!"
The burly man called Brother Wang suddenly pulled out a pistol from his waist. The refugees living here were obviously frightened by this situation. They screamed and fled from here, but before the burly man could aim the gun at Levi and say anything harsh.
The yellow-haired man was terrified by the sudden change of the burly man. With the black muzzle of the gun pointing at him, he dared not move at all. He only dared to raise his hands and nervously indicated that he was not a threat! "Brother Wang! It's me! You...you're aiming at the wrong person!"
This sudden change also caused a commotion among the thugs who were following behind. Some of them turned around and ran away, but Levi seemed to be deliberately indulging in this. He ignored it and continued to report the news even though some people escaped.
He just looked at the old man who turned around and left with his violin bag, and spoke casually.
"Lin Xianjue asked me to come to you. He said you could help me with something."
The old man named Huang Yiming still acted as if he had heard nothing and had no intention of stopping.
"Similarly, after you help me, I can also help you avenge, or avenge your students."
Hearing this, Huang Yiming's body suddenly trembled. He stopped, slowly turned around, and stared at Li Wei.
"Revenge for me and my students? From whom? Who do you dare to touch to avenge me?"
Levi just blinked.
"How about a pig-head named An?"
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
"It's the ultimatum. This is the ultimatum they gave us! If you don't hand over the people before 8 o'clock tonight, those three people will go on a killing spree, kill all the people who control the rules here, and then help Yaoguang to re-establish a new parliament and make all the workers return to Yuguang!"
In the union meeting room in the Sun Shining Front War Zone, everyone present fell silent after hearing what Zhu Long said.
As the original initiator of the uprising and liberation, the exhausted-looking Li Ming sat in the main seat, while the others, including Zhu Long, Jiang Qi and more than a dozen other special recruits from the academy, and the first batch of farmers who had escaped from Zhulan, sat on both sides of him.
Almost two years have passed since the workers of the Sun launched their protest. During this period, they launched an attack from Yuguang and fought for a long time with the military government that controlled Yaoguang. Although the progress was slow, they were still advancing towards the core of the city little by little, completing the liberation of the city.
After Li Wei organized a group of special recruits to escape from the academy under the identity of special recruit Qian Wei, with the secret joining of Zhu Long and Jiang Qi, their progress became smoother.
At that time, everyone was full of confidence in the future, believing that it would not be long before a city completely controlled, developed and progressed by the proletariat would appear for the first time in this dark and dark underground world.
After the academy was completely destroyed and the restrictions of the rules were completely lifted, two autonomously awakened workers appeared on the Sun side.
These were the results of Zhu Long and Jiang Qi's night school literacy campaign. There were actually a few people among the laborers who were particularly talented in the subjects. Later, some special recruits who escaped from the college came to the central government. From their mouths, Zhu Long and Jiang Qi did not understand what had happened in the college to cause such a change.
But what they all know is that this is definitely a good thing, a very good thing!
Zhu Long and Jiang Qi joined forces to kill and subdue some people who wanted to become scientists and try to reap the fruits of the workers' uprising. They were specially recruited to dominate the Sun and were ready to lead the workers to fight against the remnants of the military government and big capital that had retreated to the center of Yaoguang and were lingering on, and to liberate the city completely in one fell swoop.
Three people no one expected suddenly came to the Sun!
These three people are all second-level, claiming to be scientists from the Eastern District Inspection and Supervision Team of the Scientific Rehabilitation Institute. They came to the Sun not to interfere in the war between Yu Guang and Yao Guang, nor to capture the escaped special recruits, but to deal with some people who awakened to special rules after the destruction of the academy!
The two taught by Zhu Long and Jiang Qi became laborers of the scientists, and the rules mastered by one of them were particularly strange.
The two men were considered to be well-informed in the academy. Apart from the five subjects, this was the first time they had seen someone who had mastered such rules. At first, they did not pay much attention to it, because this laborer had been exploited so badly in the factory before that his mental state had become a little abnormal. His understanding of common sense was different from that of normal people, and no matter how Zhu Long and the others corrected it, they could not reverse it.
But after the three people from the Discipline and Discipline Institute came to Sun and asked them for this person, Zhu Long and his companions clearly realized that there was something wrong.
Regardless of the war between Yu Guang and Yao Guang, regardless of the escaped special recruits, why did they take away a madman who had mastered strange rules? There was obviously some big secret hidden in this.
But this laborer was taught by Zhu Long and Jiang Qi themselves. Although he had some mental problems and had always been called a lunatic, he was always the most persistent and reliable comrade to Li Ming and his people.
No matter what, none of them could accept that a group of people who were raised up because of their beliefs would betray their friend and hand him over to other people.
The three scientists from the Science and Technology Institute who came were all of the second level, but Zhu Long and Jiang Qi had never interrupted their studies during their time in the Sun. They all knew very well that if the central government took action to deal with the rebellion in the cities of the East Region in the future, only the party with high-end combat power would have the right to speak, so they were always improving themselves.
Zhu Long's talent is obviously better. He reached the second level three months after coming to the Sun. This is why the three people from the Science and Discipline Institute dare not act rashly.
Three second-level warriors certainly have an absolute advantage over one second-level warrior, but apart from Zhu Long and Jiang Qi, after the academy was destroyed, Sun also gathered many of their former friends from the academy. Even if these people are only at the first-level, the number of people is there after all. Once a fight breaks out, the three people from the Science and Discipline Institute will not lose, but it is impossible for all three of them to be safe and sound.
So the matter was dragged on and on, and the two sides kept negotiating but never reached a consensus.
Finally, in these two days, the three people from the Discipline Inspection Institute seemed to have no more time to delay and issued an ultimatum to Zhu Long and the others!
If you don’t hand over the people, I will start slaughtering them!
"During the last negotiation with them today, I heard one of them let something slip." After a moment of silence, Jiang Qi said, "They call Jian San the Sifangzhe."
Jian San is the mentally ill person who has some problems with his brain but possesses unique abilities that are not within the five major subjects.
A 4000-word chapter. There will be another chapter in the early morning. I’m not sure when it will be posted. You can read it in the morning. (End of this chapter)
