I don’t know if those barriers erected in the city can withstand the "Little Mushroom Cloud" explosion, but when the explosion occurred, all the spatial artifacts arranged within the city did indeed fail, and in that instant of failure, Xu Huo, who should have been on the rooftop, disappeared. Along with what he said, both the players in the city and the aircraft headed for the District Governnt.
Xu Huo can control the interference ti of space-ti items, so after leaving the city, he put away "Three Seconds of a Lifeti", using a teleportation prop to arrive directly at the District Governnt.
In front of the main building of the District Governnt of Zone 019, there is a very wide plaza. Defense props and instrunts were originally arranged both inside and outside the plaza, but due to the events of the past two days, so ordinary people ca to the plaza to gather, and after the intelligent systems malfunctioned, evacuations were also conducted within the District Governnt, so now there is hardly any defense here.
But this does not an Xu Huo can just walk in unimpeded. He originally intended to use the "Gentleman’s Stance" to complete the instance above the plaza, but unexpectedly, as soon as he entered, he was suppressed by a powerful gravity, and at the sa ti, two players appeared on the rooftop of the main building, looking down on him who had already fallen to the ground.
Having embarrassed the District Governnt, the governnt players were naturally displeased with him. If the governnt top brass hadn’t yet issued a kill order, Xu Huo would probably already be a human target!
But that doesn’t matter, he opened his Spiritual World, while simultaneously opening more than a dozen portals around him, through which he scattered the photos he had prepared in advance.
The photo paper in Zone 019 is very soft like ordinary paper. When they scatter in the air, airflow can easily fold them, so when standing below or on the ground, one can usually only see part of the content on the paper. By this ti, quick-moving players had already arrived, and residents who were already not far from the District Governnt released aircraft. The papers floating in the sky suddenly filled their vision, and soone couldn’t resist grabbing a sheet, unfolding it only to discover it was a painting.
To be precise, it was a painting captured on cara.
The painting is "Ember Girl", with the painting’s na and Master Soran’s signature clearly inscribed at the bottom, similar to the photo previously released on the Collection of Information Terminal, only this ti it was the complete painting.
The painting shows two bound females, long stretching, with dazzling gemstones compressing their living space, and various facial expressions on the gemstones.
The nas "Xiashi Duolaiti" and "Fragrance" written on the hem of their clothing were read aloud, and because the information on the Collection of Information Terminal spread quickly enough, soone soon recognized the faces on the gemstone on the right, as these faces were not entirely unfamiliar; sotis they appeared in important news, belonging to big figures in Zone 019, but at this mont, their faces turned towards the bound won and appeared so cold and cruel compared to the won’s pained expressions.
And the faces facing Xiashi Duolaiti did not elicit any imdiate reaction, perhaps those who recognized them were already dead, or maybe they were re symbols, but not long after, soone on the Collection of Information Terminal claid to recognize "Fragrance".
Fragrance, similar to the information Xu Huo saw earlier, yet those who recognized her were from Ember City, so they knew more details. Not only did soone ntion Fragrance’s birth and death years, but also where she once lived, her neighbors, her husband’s na, and more importantly, an old man rembered when the Tian Tian Le Group was recruiting workers, Fragrance went too. Because the work in the mines required physical strength, and won were not as strong as n, yet received the sa wages, mining companies wouldn’t hire won. Not long after Fragrance’s husband died, she cut her hair and disguised as a man to join the workforce. The neighbors, all poor, did not expose her, covering for each other, but ultimately, like other miners, she never returned.
"So she was pregnant..." This half-finished sentence seed to reveal the reason for Fragrance disguising as a man to risk entering the mine—because she was pregnant, her husband was dead, she had no family, no decent job, and without money, she couldn’t support herself, let alone her child.
Master Soran could easily stir people’s emotions, yet even without such high painting skills, the calm face yet full of blood and tears profoundly touched those who viewed the painting. She did not open her eyes, and people would instinctively imagine what she looked like with her eyes open, speculating on her desperate struggle for survival while being brutally cut down by sudden man-made disasters—and this was just one person who died in the mines.
At this mont, a hundred years of ti beca condensed, the victims of the mining disaster were no longer rely weightless numbers, but real living people...
"Who are the people on the gemstone?" This question now beca the most pressing concern for the people of Zone 019.
Since the faces on the right matched those of the District Governnt and mining company personnel, the ones on the left should correspond to the victims.
While everyone was frantically verifying the identities of the faces in the paintings, Xu Huo had already clashed with the governnt players nurous tis, who knows how many tis he’d been knocked flying. He was preparing to use a ntal Portal to escape, but unexpectedly, the advancing players hurled out several ntal interference devices in a row, causing the unstable ntal Portal to flicker and vanish, while he was choked and smashed hard onto the plaza by his opponent!
The defensive barrier couldn’t offset the powerful impact; Xu Huo spat blood on the spot, and both "The Holder’s Death" and "Everything Wants to Slice" were blocked by the opponent’s props. At the sa ti, he used the "Writing Strength" and "Important Notice" characteristics.
"Writing Strength" can forcibly direct the gaze of people within a 500-ter radius at him, while "Important Notice" can create thirty seconds of static ti, but only with 90% coverage. However, he was lucky, as when people near the plaza turned their heads, the governnt player gripping his throat paused slightly.
Before "Ember Girl" was publicized, if governnt players wanted to forcibly kill Xu Huo, it could have caused so bad implications, though not irreversible, the governnt didn’t want to tarnish its good reputation. After all, the mining disaster occurred a hundred years ago, and most current governnt personnel had little to do with what those from a century ago did; there’s no need to reopen old wounds.
Xu Huo bombing the city and then barging into the governnt building was practically a slap in the face for the District Governnt, so the governnt players certainly harbored murderous intent, but "Ember Girl" had already been revealed. Not only did the present people see it, it also spread widely on the Collection of Information Terminal, and if soone were to die now, it would carry the suspicion of murder to silence!
