Him and their stars.

Holding a cup of strong tea, Tan Jize stood on the balcony of the apartment on the third floor, witnessing the crowd holding up various banners, shouting various slogans and striding across the street he overlooked.He kept a stern and even harsh expression all the time, watching them cross the path, step into the avenue, and merge into the huge flow of people.

He finished the strong tea in his hand, sighed, opened the terminal and wanted to record something, but finally shook his head.He crushed the finished paper cup and threw it into the brazier on the balcony.At this time, quite a lot of paper materials, texts and notes have been pushed into the brazier, and they are still being swallowed by the flames little by little.

He watched most of his paper cups and notes turn into ashes, and then he returned to the room, and started to pack his luggage with quick movements—in fact, there were not many things, that is, some changes of clothes and emergency travel medicines, all kinds of travel items Documents and tickets.As for the most beloved pens and notebooks, they are always placed in the lined pockets.

When he finished all this, Miss Chun Jun also entered the house after knocking on the door lightly three times: "Sir, the boat has been arranged. We boarded the No. 4 yacht dock in Nancheng, and we can directly take the Union's boat." The Pelican leaves."

She paused, and then said: "I have already made six copies of the things you took, and all of them have been entrusted to a private express house, and they will be sent to the Pioneer Party headquarters on Earth within a month at the latest, and to the The little uncle of the alliance."

"Private express house, is it the kind that is not formally engaged in gray?"

"Accidents will happen at this normal time, right?" Miss Chun Jun said: "These express stores are all workshop-style operations, and they have cooperated with the Lingyan Association, so they are trustworthy."

Tan Jize nodded gratefully to Miss Chunjun.If he hadn't brought this assistant, he was an "ordinary" travel scholar and travel lawyer, and he would have no connections in this regard.

"Besides, I had a serious talk with them, and they agreed to give us a discount."

Although Tan Jize was very curious about what kind of "reasonable" this girl was in the air, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that there was no need to think too carefully.

"Also, the intermediary company can't get through on the phone, and the deposit is really impossible to get back..." She said with a face full of shame.

Tan Jize said: "Miss Chunjun, if you think this way, it is very likely that the intermediary company has closed down because of this shock. This amount of money can't even pay a fraction of the liquidated damages. If you think this way, do you think that Are you feeling better?"

"...Uh, it seems to be much better."

In this way, with Gujing Wubo's calm mood, the two went downstairs with their luggage.Then, Tan Jize saw two men in casual clothes lying on the sofa at the entrance of the lobby on the first floor.

"This is..." Tan Jize wondered.

"The uninvited guest who came to visit me when I was packing my luggage just now claimed to be an agent from the Security Department of the Star District Government. He said that there was a certain procedure error in the ferry ticket we booked tonight, and I hope we can stay in Lone Night City for another twelve Hours. I saw that what they said did not conform to normal legal procedures, so I had to ask them to take a break." Chun Jun said. …

Tan Jize just said "oh", then he walked through the kitchen, opened the back door, and entered the alley behind the apartment.The two waited in the alley for another three minutes until the road at the entrance of the alley among the crowd passed by, then they got on the road and walked in the opposite direction of the crowd.

However, after walking not far, they found that the way out was blocked.It was a large-scale group fight scene, and there were as many as two or three hundred people who ended up there.The two sides have used hand-made Molotov cocktails, and built simple roadblocks and throwing facilities at the street intersection. Several nearby shops facing the street have caught fire.

Such behavior was simply unavoidable on such a disorderly night.

Tan Jize knew that there was nothing he could do to stop him, so he could only change direction and enter a nearby park to make a detour.In the past, this large-scale municipal park was a place Tan Jize liked to take a walk very much, and there were not a few citizens who usually came to have a rest.But today, there are not a few figures that are still moving here. The dilapidated flower garden, the damaged fountain and the burnt black lawn constitute a messy and desolate scene.

Only the dim street lights were still flickering on and off.

Miss Chun Jun said: "The time in the Big Apple City of the Earth the year before last was not as troublesome as it is today."

"Were you there at that time?"

"I rushed over to investigate after the fact. It is said that it was only a city renovation project, and the demolition conditions were not negotiated with the citizens, which caused the demonstrations, and the commotion throughout the city was caused by the influence of the spiritual array. I Some occult remnants were indeed found at the site."

"What about this time?"

"Great Master taught us that occultism can affect emotions, but it can't affect people's hearts, let alone history." Chunjun said: "Although I don't read much, I can see that this time it's people's hearts. More history than emotion."

Tan Jize pondered for a while, and nodded slightly: "But whether this action is human heart or emotion depends on the record of history and the people who have the right to interpret history. Miss Chun Jun, I can feel that this is more important than the action itself." difficult."

Chun Jun was also silent for a while, and said helplessly: "I don't read much, and I don't understand much. But, the master and the little uncle have said that there is always nothing wrong with you."

"I can't always be right." Tan Jize said: "I hope that whenever you have any doubts about my approach, you can raise them at any time, so that my mistakes should be corrected in time."

"I'm not senior brother Juque. I studied hotel management and kitchen administration in college! My ideal career is to help my uncle run a school-themed resort..." Ms. Chunjun blinked her big eyes , showing a distressed expression: "Can you stop having unrealistic expectations of me?"

Before Tan Jize could say anything, she suddenly restrained her expression, and said in a deep voice, "Well, now I can really feel what you mean by hardship..."

She stopped and stopped in front of Tan Jize.Only then did the latter realize that under the flickering street lights across the street, several figures had already appeared in his sight.As the light and shadow intersected and turned, they approached themselves a little bit, their actions were as strange as ghosts. …

Looking behind him, there were also seven or eight figures who did not know when they appeared, and they had already blocked all the directions from which he could escape.

If you were an ordinary person, seeing this scene that seemed like a horror movie reflected in reality, you would have been so frightened that your body would turn cold and you would be unable to move, but Tan Jize didn't make any waves.

"Psyker?"

"There are two. The rest are wearing optical camouflage." Chun Jun rubbed his fingers lightly, and the state of one of the street lights suddenly stabilized, and the brightness seemed to increase by several orders of magnitude.The light flickered on the heads of the two people in the front row, and two expressionless but full of evil faces were reflected, both of them were middle-aged men in their forties.

"Oh, it's them!"

"Do you know each other?"

"I met him when I went to a law seminar last month. He is an important leader of the Black Knee Gang. It seems to be the third and fourth leader."

"The gang leader actually went to a law seminar?"

"How fresh. The Empire and the Alliance still participate in the Galaxy Peace and Development Forum every year." Tan Jize sighed, "However, the majestic psychic has become the leader of a gang. Is the current employment situation so bad?"

"After all, it is a super gang with hundreds of thousands of gang members. It is actually very lucrative. And as a psychic, it is much easier to go ashore than ordinary people." Chunjun said: "But why did they want to harm you?"

"I stayed in Lone Night City for more than a month, taught at least a thousand people, and sent out at least [-] copies of "Primary Theory" and your little uncle's handbook. Returned to Deep Space Mining and The dismissal document of the Blue Label Group has found [-] legal loopholes, and the local snakes here have long disliked me." Tan Jize shrugged: "It's just that they still dare not do it themselves, so they have to let the underworld do something. alive."

"Well, this is their job."

Looking at the two gang leaders and their subordinates, they are still narrowing their encirclement step by step, as if they are hunting a large prey like a pack of wolves, probably thinking that this can scare the prey to the greatest extent.

They seemed completely unaware that their identities had been completely exposed, and they didn't even notice that Tan Jize and Chun Jun were having a conversation.

"Then, you just wait here, I'll take care of it first." Miss Chun Jun said: "It might be a little noisy."

Tan Jize thought for a while, took out two headsets and put them in his ears, then opened the terminal and dialed out a small earphone.

Miss Chunjun smiled sweetly, put down the suitcase in her hand, and walked straight to the opposite crowd. She stretched out her hands, as if conjuring two chainsaws whose blades were almost as tall as her own. sword.The roar of the machine was accompanied by the colorless light wheel formed by the disintegrating force field, as if it had torn apart the gloomy night.

The deafening cracking sound of the machine seemed to have a spiritual effect, which made their mysterious stealth effects invisible on the spot.All the assassins showed up one by one with horrified expressions.It is impossible for them not to be terrified, just like a group of hungry wolves preparing to round up two fawns that were driven into a desperate situation, but not only were the fawns not trembling and desperately waiting to die, one of them even roared at them head-on. …

Roaring like a dragon!

A minute later, Miss Chunjun felt that she had finally moved her body a little bit, and her mood immediately improved a lot. She looked at Tan Jize over there, and found that he was still concentrating on watching the light screen that popped up from the terminal.The latter's expression was either happy or sad, but he could feel it, and his mood should be much more comfortable.

She stepped forward and gently rubbed Tan Jize's back with the round end of the chainsaw sword that had stopped turning, and the other party suddenly understood.When the latter took off the headset, Chun Jun immediately heard the singing from inside: "Have you ever heard the people singing..."

"This is……"

"Your little uncle's song." Tan Jize said, "He taught it to us when we were in the imperial capital. Later, I taught it to the young people here."

"Mr. Tan."

"how?"

"Please don't put on such an old-fashioned look. You are still very young now. The little uncle is also very young. Aren't you planning to work together for at least fifty years?" Miss Chunjun flipped her wrist, and the two The huge chainsaw sword disappeared again as if by magic: "Is this my first opinion to you?"

Tan Jize couldn't help but forced a wry smile, but still cupped his hands and bowed slightly to accept, then he remembered something: "Where are those assassins from the Black Knee Gang?"

"Throw it into the artificial lake, someone will come to wash the ground anyway."

Since he is a young man, he must be full of vigor.Since he is still full of vigor, he will give the cold, stiff, and stagnant world the greatest blood.

Therefore, when the guards on the square opened fire on the demonstrators, the young labor leaders sang the battle songs they had just learned, and took many brave and fearless workers with weapons "obtained from nowhere". They started fighting back.They shot down drones and airships with hand-wrought ion cannons, quickly attracting the attention of most of the guards.

While they were fighting, they flooded into the jungle of high-rise buildings on the east side of the central municipal square with the flow of people.These urban areas with countless lights are the most prosperous and majestic high-speed rail jungle in this metropolis of 6500 million people.The building stands here, like a giant standing on the top of the clouds, overlooking all the ants in the dust.

Now, the ants rushed to the feet of the giants, but the giants were helpless.

Yes, the workers had little experience in street fighting.

However, it's a coincidence here that the local guards actually don't have any.Although they seem to be well-trained and well-equipped, they seem to be much more elite than the New Yumen Guard (in those days), but they really don't have any reliable actual combat experience.

Naturally, neither did the security guards of large corporations.

What's more, once the street fighting entered the prosperous commercial city, the guard soldiers did not dare to use heavy weapons.When they were chasing worker insurgents, they occasionally collided with security robots of big companies acting without authorization, causing accidental injuries and even outright firefights.

On the other hand, we must also know that lumpen proletarians are often used by rentiers and become tools to instigate hatred among the people at the bottom.However, the biggest characteristic of this class is its uncontrollability.The gangsters can storm the refugee camps, but they'll be more than happy to go to the wealthy neighborhoods to get a piece of the pie when they see the big shots in distress.

This includes the outlying organizations of the Black Knee Gang, which has had some tacit understanding with the "big shots" for a long time.

Under the hard work of Marius and his comrades, more and more workers' self-rescue organizations joined in, some guarded the neighborhood where their families and elders lived, and some entered the square area for rescue.Thanks to their efforts, more than [-]% of the [-] demonstrators who first entered the square to volunteer safely withdrew from the security circle.

By the early hours of December 12, the singing of "Have You Heard the People Sing" had already resounded through half of Lonely Night City, and there was no sign of any relief.

At 12:26 in the morning on December 2th, gnn, which has been broadcasting the situation here all the time, also interrupted the broadcast. It is true that the leader of the Black Knee Gang, on the streets of Lonely Night City, can be regarded as the famous John who can stop children crying at night Mr. Blackknees, disgraced, admits that he has indeed made a deal with some bigwigs to raid ordinary Babes.

The identification of a gang leader is of course unlikely to have any legal effect, but in many cases, what matters is never what the big shots who make the "rules" think, but what the public bound by the rules thinks.

This is why Tan Jize finally felt relieved.

"With this step, the actions of the workers will no longer be a riot." He said to Miss Chunjun: "From now on, they are in an uprising!"
