Chapter 155 Youth Olympic Games Begins
There is actually a surprising reason behind many truths.
The Notre Dame de Paris arson attack that shocked the world yesterday, including the two previous attacks, involved criminals who sneaked into the city with a large number of weapons without anyone noticing anything was wrong beforehand.
Such a strange penetration ability made the Paris guards feel like they were facing a formidable enemy, and they even suspected that the Society of Destruction had mastered some kind of shielding device that could not be penetrated by conventional equipment.
If this is true, it is bad news for the whole world.
However, after a day of investigation, the guard team discovered that it was all a misunderstanding.
It’s not that the enemy is too strong, but that the teammates are too stupid.
The Society of Destruction does not possess any advanced equipment, nor has it developed any new and powerful supernatural powers.
He simply spent 500,000 euros to bribe a small supervisor at security check and asked him to make some concessions for a batch of trucks transporting goods.
The briber claimed that the items were all counterfeit souvenirs related to the Youth Olympic Games and he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune.
The supervisor who took the money really did his job. After the freight truck arrived, he escorted it all the way and helped it avoid security checks.
If this supervisor were given another chance, he would never dare to do such a stupid thing again.
However, there is no medicine for regret in the world. The Society of Destruction spent a mere 500,000 euros to break through the security checkpoint that Paris had invested hundreds of millions of dollars in, and then openly transported weapons into the city.
This is similar to the Maginot Line, which was built with huge manpower and material resources, but was directly bypassed by others.
The security guards accompanying the national teams were speechless when they learned the news.
This just proves the old saying, some things don't weigh more than 10 grams if they are not weighed on the scale, but if they are weighed, they can't even weigh 1,000 pounds.
This supervisor must have often accepted gifts to get things done, and he thought the situation this time was no different from the previous ones. Who knew that he would suddenly go wrong.
At present, the supervisor has been dismissed and investigated. The people who learned the truth were very excited and believed that this kind of parasite who neglected his duties and caused serious consequences should be sent directly to the guillotine.
Unfortunately, this type of death penalty has long been abolished in France, so apart from using such words to vent people's dissatisfaction, it will not have much effect.
What is somewhat darkly humorous is that after the attack, the level of public security in Paris reached its highest point in a decade.
As mentioned before, the streets of Paris are full of homeless people and citizens who may turn into criminals at any time.
Foreigners, especially Asians, who come here, must keep an eye on their carry-on luggage, because a group of black uncles may rush out from their blind spots at any time, grab your backpack or mobile phone and run away.
Moreover, these black uncles are in very good health and cannot be caught up with them even if they plan to do so accidentally. It is difficult to get any action even if you call the police afterwards, and there is a high probability that you will have to suffer the loss in silence.
But now it’s different. The streets are full of fully armed policemen, and from time to time you can hear the sound of helicopters flying over the sky.
In popular tourist attractions such as the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre, you can see quite a few police pets, whose strengths are basically above the legendary level.
The regulatory power is so strong that criminals who usually like to commit petty thefts dare not commit crimes.
This phenomenon has also sparked heated discussions online, with many netizens even telling a hellish joke:
“Q: What can be done to bring Paris’ social security up to the same level as Singapore’s?
A: Just launch an attack once a week."
Most people think it's no problem, but it's a different story if it really hits you.
All in all, the attack generated a lot of fun online, but most netizens, including locals, did not show much nervousness.
Because the casualties this time were quite small, the cases committed by the Destruction Society in the past had ranged from dozens to hundreds, but this time there were only single digits, which was a blessing in disguise.
Of course, the official statement is that the rescue was timely, the front-line personnel risked their own lives, the leaders were wise and brave, remained calm in the face of danger, and successfully repelled the criminals.
So all the praise goes to the front-line staff, and all the credit goes to the leaders.
As the Youth Olympic Games draws closer, the impact of the case is gradually weakening. The whole city is soon once again filled with the joy brought by the grand event, and Youth Olympic Games-related banners, billboards and posters appear in the streets.
The streets became bustling again, with beast taming athletes and tourists from all over the world seen everywhere.
We all know that Paris is a world-famous international metropolis. Before the game starts, everyone wants to buy some souvenirs or take photos at the check-in destination.
Even the Chinese team, which has relatively strict management, finally gave everyone three days of free time at the request of the players.
You can go to a place a little further away for fun, but you must report before going, and you must return to the dormitory before 6pm.
However, Chu Yi hardly left the room these days and has been training with Bajie the whole time.
Second Brother is the nickname of the piglet, and his real name should be Bajie, which sounds better.
As for the little white dragon, he raised his hooves to protest against this name. After all, he was the second oldest. Why should he be called the third oldest, second senior brother? Is it just because his hooves have two toes?
Originally, Chu Yi was worried that the little piglet would be a little lazy and unwilling to exercise with him.
But the actual situation is quite good. The little piglets are happy to train and are very competitive. Even when facing Monkey Brother’s training, they will try their best to defeat him.
Although he would be beaten to a pulp every time.
All I can say is that he is worthy of being of the emperor's bloodline and is naturally eager to become stronger. As long as he maintains this mentality, it won't take too long for the little pig to catch up with Monkey King and Little White Dragon.
The only drawback is that the piglets eat too much.
Chu Yi, who suffers from Old Days Syndrome, only eats about 100 kilograms of food every day, while the piglet is only half a meter tall and can eat a full 150 kilograms of food every day!
After seeing that the piglet was gluttonous, Chu Yi began to have some guesses in his mind.
In fact, he had not noticed much about Monkey King's arrogance and Little White Dragon's temper before. A temper is very common, and for a pet with fire and thunder attributes, temper is even a very good character.
Although arrogance is a very rare character, it does exist.
When the little white dragon evolved from a dragon colt into a real dragon, his irritability turned into rage.
But even at this time Chu Yi did not have too many doubts until he discovered that his appetite had increased dramatically.
Pride, wrath, gluttony, three of the seven deadly sins have come upon him.
What remains are greed, lust, laziness and envy.
These seven deadly sins are the root of all evil for mankind and have also appeared in pets.
But Chu Yi had never seen such a concentrated appearance at once even after searching through all the history books.
Is it a coincidence?
If it happens once or twice it might be a coincidence, but if it happens three times in a row it must be man-made.
The Destruction Society was the only organization he could find that was related to the power of sin. So if he wanted to figure out everything, he had to find a way to contact the people in this organization.
But this organization is now being condemned by everyone, and everyone from top to bottom is completely anti-human.
Even if he wanted to contact them, the other party would probably kill him as soon as they saw him. After all, he had killed their eighth deacon.
The only way is to capture a member of the Destruction Society alive, preferably a cadre above the rank of small leader, so that more information can be obtained.
But it's a pity that Chu Yi asked Lin Siyao for information. The Paris police failed to capture a single member of the Destruction Society alive during the large-scale raid.
These people all carried out their mission with poison in their mouths. After they were sure that there was no hope of escape, they simply bit open the capsule hidden in their mouths.
It is filled with the venom of the emperor's pet, the black mamba king snake, which can kill a person in just 24 seconds. Without a special serum, there is no way to save the person.
So up to now there is no member of the Society of Destruction.
As for the official news that some suspects were arrested, they were actually refugees hired by the Destruction Society and were just cannon fodder. They could not get any useful information from them.
However, they have learned from their mistakes and the escort team will definitely bring enough antidote serum next time they go out. It will not be so easy to use the same method again.
But if we want to make any breakthrough progress, we have to wait for the Society of Destruction to continue its actions.
Although everyone is now immersed in the excitement of the Youth Olympic Games, Chu Yi has a hunch that the people from the Destruction Society will soon make new moves.
Maybe at the opening ceremony?
It is worth mentioning that the opening ceremony of this Youth Olympic Games was not held indoors, but instead athletes from all over the world held a grand parade along the Seine River so that people all over Paris could participate in the carnival.
This plan would definitely be very creative under normal circumstances, and it would indeed be very lively. It would receive rave reviews as long as it was successfully completed.
But in this current situation, if they still dare to hold such a large-scale parade, they are really not afraid of any suspicious people sneaking into the team.
If a bomb is dropped at that time, no one knows how many people will die.
But then again, holding events in indoor venues carries the same risks.
The Destruction Society is determined to cause trouble, and they will find loopholes no matter what, so the key is to find their headquarters and leaders and eradicate the roots to solve the problem once and for all...
"Dear viewers, this is TV station number one, this is TV station number one!"
The reporter stood in the crowd holding a microphone and contacted the Youth Olympic Games special studio amid the huge noise.
Behind her are the Parisian citizens dressed in their best, each of them joyfully holding a flag or blowing a trumpet to welcome the incoming national teams.
Although there were many doubts about safety issues before, many people suggested that the opening ceremony should just be a formality and there was no need to make it so grand so as not to cause greater unrest.
However, the Paris Youth Olympic Organizing Committee overruled all objections and decided to hold the opening ceremony as originally planned.
The local guards in Paris also said they would do their best to maintain the security of the opening ceremony.
Of course, the guard team is not just lip service, a huge amount of manpower and animal resources have indeed been invested. On the street, there is a small guard post every three steps and a large guard post every ten steps.
In addition, Paris also sent five supreme beastmasters and over a hundred title-level beastmasters to the scene.
Together with the guards brought by other countries themselves, the banks of the Seine can be said to be filled with experts.
With so many experts gathered together, it would be fine if the Destruction Society did not take action, but once they did, there would be no way they could escape.
If an adult divine pet encounters such a lineup, it will have to run away quickly, and there is no need to worry about any accidents.
"Is there a possibility that the Destruction Society used some secret weapon to wipe out all these masters?"
A netizen asked such an alarmist question, but was soon ridiculed by others and his comment was deleted.
After all, these are five supreme-level beastmasters and over a hundred title-level beastmasters. Such a force can easily overthrow more than 90% of countries.
If the Society of Destruction can really kill so many masters at once, it might become the fuse of World War III.
Of course, this is just a boring remark from a boring netizen.
Supreme Beastmasters are not even afraid of nuclear bombs, so what other weapons can kill them?
Even if there is, it is absolutely impossible for the Destruction Society to control it, otherwise why would they hide like mice? They can just draw a circle on the map and declare the establishment of a country. As long as the five permanent members are not included, I believe no one will dare to object.
In short, the opening ceremony was held as scheduled with the presence of a large number of masters.
The Chinese reporters have already occupied a relatively good position, and can take pictures of the passing delegations from a high vantage point.
There is another camera position next to the road, where you can see their faces, but the camera will not cut to them until the team gets closer.
Standing next to the reporter was Lin Siyao, who was wearing a brown windbreaker and a neat ponytail, looking quite heroic.
As a frontline commentator, she was also able to appear on camera, but she was not good at introducing national teams, so she just greeted the audience and responded to reporters from time to time.
"My wife looks so handsome today."
"My wife's fashion sense is getting better and better."
"What brand is this windbreaker from? It looks very expensive."
"It's not that expensive, just a few thousand Chanel."
“I don’t understand the world of the rich.”
"A few thousand makes you rich? Although Lin Siyao is indeed quite rich."
"What a pity, such a beautiful and rich woman is so cheap to Chu Yi, the bastard."
"What's wrong with Chu Yi? I think he's a good guy. Besides, we are childhood sweethearts."
"They are a handsome man and a beautiful woman, why would you, a monster, have the right to say anything about them?"
"They haven't even started dating yet and they're already trying to match them up. I don't think Lin Siyao has ever said that she and Chu Yi are in a relationship."
"Need I say more? Anyone on Earth can see what's going on with them."
………………
Wherever Lin Siyao is, Chu Yi will be there.
Not only in the barrage, but also in the distance, a figure holding a flag appeared in the camera. It was Chu Yi, the flag bearer of this Youth Olympic Games!
