Chapter 135 Delegation
……
"Reporting to Lord Wengerson, a large number of large and small groups opposed to Xin Zhuyang appeared overnight. Most of them have the same slogans and are holding large-scale organized marches, demanding that the Xin Zhuyang project be stopped."
In the conference hall in the inner city of Sun City, everyone present had different expressions as they listened to the servants' reports.
"It's so stupid! Do these lowly people know what they are doing?!" One person slammed his hands on the table and cursed.
"It's unreasonable. I never thought that the people of our Sun City would be so short-sighted." Others quickly echoed.
At this time, an older participant said, "It is totally useless to blame them now. We are just a small group of people and cannot scold them as much as they do. We have other things to focus on right now."
Suddenly, the conference hall fell silent.
The more important thing is to catch the traitor.
"Nino warned us before he was fired, but we didn't pay enough attention." Lord Wengerson said slowly from the main seat.
"Even so, he wants to throw dirty water on our Sun Chamber of Commerce. How can our advice, which is heavily mixed with personal grudges, be trustworthy?" A middle-aged man quickly spoke up.
That being said, at this moment, all kinds of sharp scrutiny were already piercing the Sun Chamber of Commerce representatives in the conference hall.
"Besides, there is no evidence to prove that there is a traitor among us. Perhaps it is those Night Chasers who are lurking in secret, and their miracles are always elusive." Someone else put forward an opinion.
"If what happened that night is not enough to prove it, what happened just now is enough to prove it." said a young voice.
That was one of the representatives of the Sun City Library. Although these scholars had a seat in the conference hall and represented the educational cause of Sun City, their presence had actually never been very strong. It was common for them to remain silent and not even cast a vote in a meeting.
Perhaps because the situation was now chaotic enough, they finally spoke up.
The speaker was a young man, no older than forty, a rare sight in this large conference hall where seats had been fixed for many years and were mostly hereditary.
Even the red and gold scholar's attire could not conceal his brilliance.
His handsome face always exudes a natural sense of confidence.
"Navida, what do you mean? Do you really want to drag everyone here into the quagmire? It's a mess outside now, we can't afford to be in chaos. The diplomatic corps hasn't left yet, do we want to make a fool of ourselves in the internal strife now?" said the Chamber of Commerce representative.
Navidad sneered, "It's not that I think so, but the fact is that we are already in a quagmire. Didn't you hear what those marchers said in the report just now?"
"We put the entire city under martial law not long after the incident. The existence of Eternal Night was intelligence we got from the Night Chaser Church and Nino's warning. But, those civilian marchers knew this just after a day. Don't you think it's ridiculous?"
After these words were spoken, the meeting fell silent again.
Yes, the news leaked.
Regarding the appearance of eternal night in the inner city and the attack of the Church of the Night Chaser, the Sun City is still shrouded in danger and so on.
"Moreover, all the marching groups are organized. The press conference just ended not long ago. There were not so many potential groups in Sun City before..." Lord Wengerson spoke in a deep voice, and he had already made clear his attitude.
Although the belief in Zhuyang exists, the Sun City also knows some strange rules of the Mixed Dream World, and it is impossible to really allow a miraculous creature like Zhuyang to be a clear object of faith.
All kinds of groups will be disbanded, and stubborn ones will be destroyed and captured.
Now it is obvious that someone is fanning the flames behind the scenes and adding fuel to the turmoil, and these preparations have been made during this period of time.
Whether it is the content of the press conference that aroused public emotions, or the alliance with the Night Chaser Church to destroy the core nodes of Zhuyang and affect the construction of the new Zhuyang.
Then, through the actions of the Night Chaser Church, the secret was leaked to the public and exaggerated as a divine punishment for disrespect.
It completely aroused public protests and had a huge negative impact.
There is a clear plan behind all the links. If you want to ignore all these links, it would be too weak and seem like you are just being stubborn.
Now, the issue was completely exposed. Everyone in the conference hall felt insecure, looked at each other, and the atmosphere was extremely weird.
But there is nothing to be seen from this perspective. It is obvious that this matter cannot get any results in the conference hall.
Putting this knot aside for the moment, someone swallowed and spoke again: "Should the Xinzhuyang project be temporarily suspended?"
"It's not easy to stop it. Not to mention that the project has been going on secretly for a long time. If we stop it now, those people will think that we have compromised and they are right." Wengerson said.
"But the current situation..." "We must continue." Wengerson said decisively, "In this environment, the power of the craftsmen in the envoys of the southern forces has a more intuitive reason to borrow. Rebuilding Zhuyang is not such a simple matter. Even Mr. Jin Zhenggang is still not completely sure."
"By the way, there should be no problem with those craftsmen, right?" someone asked.
Wengerson said: "They were a little frightened, but they can be comforted. It is no exaggeration to say that if Zhuyang can be created, some of them are even willing to die at the moment of its birth."
"Therefore, the Zhuyang reconstruction project will not be stopped. In fact, it will be carried out more quickly, immediately."
The meeting ended with Wengerson's decisive words.
……
The Zhuyang reconstruction plan begins immediately.
This news was not concealed and was even widely spread, as if they were afraid that the excited people participating in the march would not know about it.
After hearing the news, the marchers became even more excited. Some were even instigated by the atmosphere and became martyrs, willing to sacrifice their lives to stop the movement.
The enthusiasm is a bit exaggerated.
An Ti and Nie Hong's way back to Blue Star was cut off. At this time, several exits of the inner city were blocked, and it became troublesome to leave the inner city through the outside nodes.
They had to go back to Nino's house to rest for a while.
Not long after they returned, an attendant visited Nino's home.
"Wengersen summoned me?" Nino was surprised.
"Yes, and you can bring your friend who played a role in the incident in the southwest city." The attendant looked at Anti next to him and said.
Nino turned his head to look at Anti, who tilted his head at him.
Finally, the two arrived at the Wengerson family's mansion.
Anti's name was specifically mentioned. This development was somewhat unexpected. I wonder what the current city lord is going to do.
The city lord received them in the study in a very standard manner.
"Nino, how is your retirement life?" As soon as he came up, the man with many wrinkles on his face greeted with a smile.
"It's okay. After being busy for so long, I finally have some free time. It would be better if I didn't have so many things to worry about during this period." Nino was not very restrained in front of Wengersen.
An Ti noticed that the relationship between the two of them seemed to be pretty good, probably they were old friends in private.
"I'm really sorry for my poor management and for making you worry about everything even after retirement. I'm sure you must have gone to the Chamber of Commerce to find out more about it." Wengerson shook his head and sighed.
"I have already dedicated myself to this city," Nino said firmly.
"I know, you are always like this..." Wengerson seemed a little absent-minded.
Nino interrupted, "Lord City Lord, why did you summon us?"
"Ah, yes, I was just busy reminiscing about the past. We haven't had a good private chat in a long time... Well, let me think, where should I start?"
After saying this at the outset, Wengerson quickly told Nino and Anti what happened in the meeting that had just ended.
Nino's warning came true, but tracking down the traitor was difficult and had to be completed as quickly as possible while the Zhuyang Project was ongoing.
"What do you mean?"
"Nino, I trust your ability. In today's Sun City, your strength is one of the best, if not the best. And this friend of mine, he had a brilliant performance in the previous parade in the southwest city, and he once served as our commissioned investigator."
At this point, Nino and Anti knew why Lord Wengerson had called them over.
"I can grant you the status of special investigators. I hope you can help track down the spies hiding in Sun City. I wonder if you two are willing to lend a helping hand to Sun City today?"
