In the bustling Times Square, the wind was cold and biting. A large group of people held up unified signs and marched across the street. Every few minutes, they would shout in unison.
This is a parade.
The atmosphere is very lively.
In fact, if we ignore their identities, this kind of carnival-like shouting gives people the feeling of a gathering of cultists, especially the fanaticism on those people's faces that comes from the bottom of their hearts.
It's really shocking.
On both sides of the busy streets, advertisements with the same content are also being played on huge screens.
An elderly white man with stylish hair, wearing a suit, was giving a powerful speech on the screen. His speech was very contagious.
Very powerful, and even humorous.
But the content is not commendable.
It is filled with racist arguments, gangster logic, and anti-intellectual thinking.
"Don't worry about that little cold, it will magically disappear."
"Wearing protective equipment is a cowardly act! Our country is strong and great, just as our people are brave and unyielding. Let it come, we are not afraid of it."
"Give me your votes!"
That powerful voice echoed throughout Times Square, filled with a strange and magical appeal.
At this moment, a deafening shout erupted from the crowd marching below. The sound echoed in the streets, leaving the surrounding onlookers a little at a loss.
"Snap"
Lao Jiang stood on a tall building, watching the scene with an expressionless and wooden face. He watched the speech advertisement on the big billboard in its entirety.
Then he reached out his hand and slapped himself on the cheek.
The pain in his face told him.
He was not dreaming.
"Fuck you, you're playing with me like this!"
Boss Jiang complained viciously in a low voice.
The next moment, he squatted on the ground in pain, covering his face with his hands. He seemed still unable to accept the magical scene before him, and even talked to himself.
The whole person lost his brilliance at this moment.
There are even signs of insanity.
The other three people were totally unable to understand Lao Jiang's feelings at this moment, which were like a million grass mud horses running wildly and howling in his heart. However, they had the leisure time to comment on this new world.
“Spiritual energy is so abundant!”
Ruyue is also a veteran "explorer" who has seen two worlds. The moment she entered this world, she spread out her spiritual thoughts and sensed her surroundings.
The secretary's face was full of undisguised surprise. She said to the wolf demon Liu Hui who was also closing her eyes and feeling beside her:
"The spiritual energy here is slightly inferior to that of Kumu Realm."
"Um."
The silly monster looked around and replied in a professional manner:
“Indeed, the concentration of spiritual energy is a little higher than that ghost place in Fengming Country, but they don’t seem to be gathered in a certain form. It’s not as good as our blessed place where spiritual energy gathers.
So, this should still be a small spiritual world, but it is larger than the Red Moon... Hey, why did you pull out my mane?"
Before the silly monster could finish his words, Ruyue reached out and plucked a strand of its mane out. Liu Hui looked at Ruyue with bared teeth, and the latter stuck out her lips at it.
Yes.
Gu Miao is also there.
I can’t say much about the Red Moon Realm.
"Sister Ruyue, what are those people doing?"
Gu Miao didn't notice the secret that the wolf demon almost let out. At this moment, she was lying on the edge of the tall building, looking down with great interest. After all, it was a child.
As soon as I came in, my attention was attracted by the modern metropolis in front of me.
There are tall and straight buildings arranged in an orderly manner. There are cars driving around on the streets like a long dragon, horns honking one after another, and people coming and going in a hurry on the streets.
And the odd, gathered crowd of people parading.
All of these attracted Gu Miao's attention, especially the moving, colorful, not-too-bright large screens and the images transmitted from them.
And there were languages ​​she didn't understand.
All of this made her feel curious.
She turned back to Kisaragi and said:
"Who is that old man on the sign? Is he a wanted criminal? Why are there images of him everywhere?"
"I don't understand either."
Although Ruyue had experienced the wasteland and her chip contained information before the wasteland nuclear war, this was her first time to actually come to such a lively modern city.
I was a little confused for a moment.
"That's the president. Um, he's probably campaigning."
Old Jiang, who had been silent, took several minutes to adjust his mentality, then stood up, lit a cigarette for himself, and looked at the various advertisements on the big screen in front of him.
The next moment, a language data packet was transmitted to Gu Miao's brain through the chip.
After downloading and unzipping, the new language system is online.
Gu Miao blinked and went back to listening. This time she understood the speech of the president with the cool hair. But after just a few words, she started giggling, holding her stomach.
"This old man is so interesting. How can he lie so confidently?"
"That's not the point. Children, don't listen to him. If you listen to him too much, your brain will become stupid."
Lao Jiang forced himself not to look at the magical speech on the big screen. He cast his gaze behind him. This city, which was not familiar to him in his memory but not unfamiliar to him either, made him sigh with emotion.
At least from the surface, he couldn't tell whether this city was a place he had visited several times in his previous life.
But it is probably not.
"There is spiritual energy in this world, and the concentration is not low."
Jiang Xia blew out a smoke ring and said to the three people in front of him:
"This proves that there are probably humans in this world who can use spiritual energy. There may not be monsters, but we must be vigilant. Our clothes are too eye-catching.
Find a place to change it.
However, if I'm not mistaken, this place is all about money. Look at this place, it exudes an undisguised smell of money! So we have to get some money first.
By the way, go find the City Star Array Disk, it should be nearby..."
"There!"
Liu Hui stretched out her paw and pointed to the east. She wagged her tail and said:
"When I first came here, I saw a blue light flashing there, but it disappeared very quickly. It must have been blocked by someone."
"Then let's go there!"
Jiang Xia heard the noisy shouting of the group of fanatical fans in the square below again, which made the corners of his mouth twitch. He strode forward, skillfully opened the staircase door on the roof, and took the three people behind him down to the elevator on the top floor.
He reached out and pressed the elevator button again.
explain:
"Let's go, leave here quickly. I can't stand the stupidity that those people are giving off."
——
Half an hour later, Lao Jiang, wearing a gray casual suit and sunglasses, came back.
Ruyue, who was dressed beautifully, wearing a red dress, sunglasses, and high heels like a model, walked out of a high-end clothing store carrying large and small bags.
The very professional and considerate waiter walked the two generous people to the door with a smile.
The blonde girl with freckles on her face looked at Ruyue's swaying figure with strong envy and jealousy. Even though she had just received a large tip, she still had some malicious thoughts in her heart.
This oriental beauty must be the plaything of the rich man next to her.
Looking at the seductive way she walks, even a woman like me feels a little uneasy. She must have received professional training, perhaps she was a print model.
After all, that domineering figure is not something that ordinary women can have.
I’m so envious.
It’s great to have money.
"This suit suits you very well. Several men just stared at you. Also, the clerk was cursing you for falling down."
Jiang Xia's ears twitched, and he said to Ruyue who was holding his arm:
"Perhaps, you should come to this world more often. A beauty like you can achieve great things in this world just by relying on this face."
"Entertaining people with sex?"
Ruyue leaned most of her body on Jiang Xia's shoulder, and she said softly:
“I stopped doing that a long time ago. These shoes are so hard to wear. I really don’t understand how women in this world can adapt to this kind of torture.
However, these stockings are... quite interesting."
Lao Jiang looked around on the crowded street. He could feel the gazes of the people around him. All the men's attention was on Ruyue.
All the women's attention was first on Ru Yue.
Later it will be transferred to him.
Lao Jiang dispersed his spiritual thoughts and heard the sound of a man and a woman arguing behind him. The cause was that the man couldn't look away, which triggered the jealousy in his girlfriend's heart.
"There are so many beautiful clothes here."
This little episode made Lao Jiang smile. He naturally reached out his hand, put his arm around Ruyue's slender waist, and said to her:
"Maybe after you're done, you can show me how to put them on one by one..."
"Is that why you just bought over twenty different pairs of stockings, Boss?"
Ruyue chuckled and said:
"So you like this tune."
"Be serious and do your job."
Jiang Xia coughed and walked across the street with Ruyue. There, there was a black Ford nanny car parked. The price of the car did not match the attire of Jiang Xia, the domineering president.
But there's no way.
When I passed by the parking lot just now, the best car I could find was this one.
The way Lao Jiang got it was absolutely legal.
After all, robbing a group of thugs who were engaged in drug dealing, knocking them out and throwing them at the back door of the police station prevented more innocent people from being harmed.
This is truly an act of justice.
And justice needs to be rewarded.
The reward that Lao Jiang gave himself was this 90% new car.
"Click"
He opened the car door, got into the driver's seat and fastened his seat belt. Ruyue also sat in the passenger seat with great grace. He then threw the clothes they had bought into the back seat.
He said to Gu Miao, who was leaning against the window looking around, and Liu Hui, who was lying in the back seat and feeling sleepy:
"The clothes have been bought. Gu Miao will change into children's clothes, and Liu Hui, you will wear the loose clothes with the hat, which can just cover your face."
"Boss, don't look at it!"
Gu Miao grabbed the shopping bag and picked out a set of children's clothes from it. She shouted to Jiang Xia, who immediately curled his lips, looked straight ahead, and prepared to drive towards the direction of the star array.
The results are just starting...
"Bang"
There was a loud bang.
A guy fell from the sky and hit the hood of the car. The windshield cracked instantly but did not shatter. Another shrill alarm sounded.
The noise scared Gu Miao.
But Lao Jiang reacted quickly.
He immediately opened the car door, walked forward angrily, pulled down the guy who had hit the hood of the car, and was about to question him when he heard another whistling sound of wind coming from behind.
There was also a scream.
"Innocent citizens, get out of the way! That's a criminal! Leave him to me!"
Along with the sound, a young man dressed in fancy clothes and wearing a mask on his face was rushing towards them from behind at a speed that no ordinary person could reach.
He sounded the alarm.
Hope Jiang Xia stays away and doesn't disturb him from fighting crime.
But Lao Jiang did not dodge.
He kicked the criminal in front of him who was trying to resist in the chest. With the sound of broken bones, he turned around and easily caught the arm of the young man behind him with his left hand.
He threw the young man to the ground with a clean and decisive shoulder throw, and before he could even utter a word, he was hit on the neck with a heavy punch.
"What superhero, criminal."
"You two destroyed my new car, come with me!"
