Chapter 660 The Eve

The addition of Xue Hua Qijing gave the family something to talk about for a while. As the well-deserved "first family", we very much welcome any new members to join, but the celebration plan proposed by Qian Qian ended up being Still not implemented: Xiao Qijing was too weak after rebirth. She only lasted less than ten minutes in the outside world before returning to my mind and falling asleep.

Coupled with Alaya who also lives in his own spiritual world, I can now proudly announce that we can now go out alone and take care of the family!

Although it sounds like this ability is simply inferior.

The next few days are quiet days, everything is on track, and the carnival is approaching.

After the excitement in the first few days, the five *** people in the God Realm have finally calmed down a lot. Apart from occasionally causing trouble in the Shadow City or deceiving envoys from various races, they know how to save me trouble when they go out. I have to say that Ding Dong still has some restraint on 123 and the others, and Bingtis is also a high-level god after all, and he knows a little bit of propriety - in theory.

As for Shadow City and the other two assembly venues, they have now entered the final stage of construction. According to my proposal, all assembly venues will be constructed simultaneously and completed in a mixed manner using multiple construction methods. The extremely efficient Xiling builders were responsible for the construction of the main venues and public places, and the craftsmen brought by various ethnic groups were responsible for the unique decoration of each ethnic group. In this way, powerful and important forces in the empire's ruling areas can naturally It shows their culture very well, and those "refugees" who are weak and may even come to the celebration with a small team of only a dozen people can also get a modular venue mass-produced by the builders according to their hobbies. , it is said that many visitors to Macro World choose this way: they generally only have a dozen or even a few people in a world to participate in this festival, so naturally they cannot build their own stage. The most suitable choice for them is a public venue, and it is not Shaohong World visitors also chose to form a team to solve the personnel dilemma. For example, I recently heard that Yuri Sakazaki and Tomoyo Sakagami formed a team. They plan to hold a ring in area a73...

Of course, more people come here just for the excitement. They don't participate in performances or cultural displays, they are just tourists. These people account for 10% of the carnival visitors. This is a huge flow of people, and the composition of the people is extremely complex. It is expected that the daily average flow of people in a community, not to mention the entire assembly hall, will reach hundreds of thousands. How to manage such a huge population will naturally become the most important thing for carnival organizers. We initially urgently expanded the number of urban management personnel to solve the problem, but this was only a temporary solution, not the root cause. Fortunately, a lazy guy came along at the critical moment and solved this big trouble.

Reimu Hakurei: "Ah, why do we have to be so tired? It's obvious that the people coming to play are people from other worlds, so why don't we just let people from their own worlds maintain law and order?"

So, the problem is solved.

Let the large world establish its own security department to help manage the discipline of various races during the carnival. This is the idea of ​​a certain unscrupulous red and white witch who can be lazy and is always worried about her salary.

Although it seems to be a very troublesome job, any world with some strength is competing for this opportunity. This is proof of strength, and it is also the capital that can overwhelm other races in the Space-Time Management Bureau in the future. I will say hello to you when the time comes. You can say like this: "Aren't you just a Zenith star? Didn't we have our light music department tear up the ticket at the carnival back then, so much that our calves would twist when we heard the sound of the paper?"

So and so.

Now, the Azeroth Urban Management Brigade, the Vidis Social Security Patrol Team, the Keprulu Resident Behavior and Ethics Inspection Office, and the Cross Religion's "Leading Team for the Construction of Civilized, New Practices, and Imperialist Spiritual Civilization in the New Era" have all officially According to the order of establishment, we can find that each of their names is longer than the last one - there is also competition among various races.

Today, the Shadow City has completely changed. The previously deserted streets are full of bustling people. There is an endless stream of visitors from all walks of life. They wear strange clothes and have different looks. At first glance, they look like a group of demons dancing around. Yes, there is such a flavor of the great integration of civilizations everywhere, which is even worse than the original wave of immigrants, and even more exaggerated than the racial mixture of the Pan-Galactic Civilization Community. Standing in the city center and looking across, that The one with pointed ears, the big beard, the arms longer than the legs, the one with three eyes on the face, the knees bent backward, the one with a tail, the one without a long mouth, and the one with a big eye floating in the sky. Damn it, a big iron ball is rolling across the ground. If no one explains it, you won’t be sure whether it is a living thing or not...

And mixed in among them are groups of guys wearing red hoops.

"Your proposal has been implemented well, and it seems to have worked well."

Standing in the city center square, looking at the people of all ethnic groups working hard, I nodded happily to Hong Bai next to me.

It only took a few days for the unscrupulous guy to quickly adapt to the local environment. He had a proud smile on his face and an "urban management" armband on his arm. With a smile, this guy started to bargain with me: "Then Doesn’t the bonus need to be deducted this month?”

To be honest, if it weren't for various reasons, I would really want to see if this guy's integrity is really worth 100,000 yuan!

"Learn from Yakumo Murasaki, how diligent he is."

I glanced at the blond girl behind me who was busy adjusting the dimensional hub shift, and said quietly.

It is said that Yakumo Purple's power is "controlling the realm", which means the "conceptual boundary point" that controls everything in the world, such as the ridges of mountains, the surface of water, the separation of space, and even the difference between life and death (of course this is a bit mysterious) ), in short, it can separate the world from a chaotic state into a clear orderly state, and can also disrupt the orderly world into chaos - in theory, in fact she should not have that energy.

Anyway, it is quite an incredible skill, and the chief dispatcher of the dimensional hub also took a fancy to her talent, so he asked her to use her unique understanding of the space realm to help share the workload of the dimensional hub host. Now it seems that Yakumo Purple Really does the job well, though...

"Wow! Why doesn't this move?"

Although due to mechanical idiocy, there are occasional minor mishaps.

It seems that these two miserable girls who are working to redeem their lives are going to be unlucky for a while.

"Brother, this is today's college newspaper!! Judgment mercury lamp jumped to his feet and shouted."

Suddenly, a voice from below interrupted my thoughts. I followed the sound and saw a big head looking at me from an angle of almost 90 degrees. Next to the head was a roll of newspaper held high.

I was stunned for a moment, and then I discovered that this three-headed mercury lamp had a disciplinary committee armband on its arm.

"What's going on? You guys came out to maintain law and order too?"

From the way the other party spoke, I confirmed that the controller of this doll was a certain Misaka sister, but when did this cruel "judgment mercury lamp" appear?

"Because the Misakas have to prepare for the school festival during the festival, and the Misakas must be responsible for the security of the Academy City area, the Mercury Lantern Corps collectively transformed into the judgment Mercury Lantern Corps! Please leave the peace of Shadow City to us during the festival. ! Onii-sama, this is today’s college newspaper. Judgment Mercury Lamp stood on tiptoes and handed the newspaper into my brother’s hand.”

...After seeing so many security volunteers from other worlds, it turns out that this group of leaders is the most brutal.

I took the college newspaper from the hand of the disciplinary committee member Shui Yin Deng with embarrassment, took a look at it, and suddenly became even more embarrassment.

"... According to this newspaper, there is a problem with the sports competition scheduled to be held during the school festival. Because the Misakas' synchronization rate is too high, the student union is urgently negotiating whether to allow all participants in the sports event to tie for first place..."

"Ah - I'm so exhausted. Today's work is finally done. Reimu, go get some food. I didn't bring my meal card... Huh? Why are you here?"

The voice from behind made me put down the newspaper, and Yakumo Murasaki's face full of resentment immediately occupied my sight.

In just a few days, she has completely transformed into a hardworking girl? The pollution ability of the empire's halo of shamelessness is truly cruel!

It is not easy for Yakumo Murasaki to work so obediently and pay off debts. I even thought this was theoretically impossible. Everyone knows that this is a big monster who has lived for countless years, and his intelligence is definitely not low. Let a cunning person It is no joke that the monster leader is willing to work as a laborer, but what is surprising is that only two or three days have passed, Yakumo Murasaki, who has always been making small moves, has become more honest. Now not only does he work seriously, he even knows how to cook with Qi Jiashe and the others lined up: the two parties almost came to a fight last time.

"After hearing about you, I feel that you, the guy they call the emperor, is actually a person that I like," Miss Yakumo, who is always seventeen years old, explained, "Your city reminds me of By Gensokyo - I mean the atmosphere where everyone treats this place as home, plus if you break your things, you can help pay off the debt."

A big monster with a conscience, this is my second understanding of Yakumo Murasaki, and the first understanding is: this guy seems to be a master who can sleep with more than Alaya.

When working in the Shadow City, you can't sleep casually, nor can you hide in the gaps and miss work. This is Yakumo Murasaki's biggest resentment about her current life. Besides, it seems that she, like Reimu, is temporarily dissatisfied with the life here. Quite satisfactory.

"When can we go home?"

The girl in front of her brought up this old topic again. She has been staying near the dimensional hub for the past two days, so she naturally understands the significance of this city connecting all realms, so when she can go home has become her biggest concern at the moment. pity……

"Sorry, your world is still not discovered," I replied apologetically, "In fact, we still haven't found out the cause of the great wave of time travel and the reason why the probability of time travel events increased after that, and the world that was affected by it. Exactly how many there are is also under investigation, so to find the hometown of you and Reimu, I'm afraid I can only rely on luck, but don't worry, in theory, that world should be near the world of c.c prosecutor, we have already established that world The giant scanning array can lock onto that world as long as it finds energy that is close to the aura on your body."

"Oh, that's right."

The blonde girl sighed with regret.

"Well, I'm a little concerned. Are all the youkai in Gensokyo emotional guys like you?"

During the chat, I also became interested in things in Gensokyo. The cheating life I have always taught me as a bad luck halo bearer: Never underestimate any cheating incident you encounter, because it often means an even bigger cheating incident. Expand, since Yakumo Murasaki and Hakurei Reimu dare to intrude into the world of Rulusha, there is no reason for everything in Gensokyo to be peaceful. The great prophet Lin has not given me any enlightenment yet, but I think it is okay for my own peaceful life. To extend it a little bit, it's better to know a little more about things now.

Yakumo Murasaki looked here in surprise. Every time she talked to me, she seemed to show this unexpected expression: "You are really nosy, but the monsters in Gensokyo do have their own personalities. As for me? I I don’t think this is a sentimental thing. I can’t get used to living in your city. Although you implement a ruling method that I agree with, I don’t like a place where even free movement is restricted.”

Don’t you monsters have the concept of turning around when you speak? !

I looked at the other party sadly: "What do you mean? I have to be responsible for all the people, you know. It's not easy for you to hurt anyone here. It's not like you don't know where this place is."

"A weird world," Yakumo Purple muttered unabashedly, "and a weird ruler. You really are not as powerful as the legend says. Where did those soldiers' enthusiasm for you come from?"

I:"……"

I feel that if I get serious with a monster, I will lose completely.

"Wait patiently, at least make enough money to redeem yourself first," I glanced sideways at Lingmeng who was about to run away. He immediately stood up and looked like he was waiting for an attack. The urban management armband on his arm was so eye-catching, "Tomorrow is It's the opening ceremony of the carnival, so you can also take a look at this grand ceremony and have some fun, this opportunity is not common."

Yes, tomorrow is the opening ceremony, but why am I not nervous at all now?

We have been preparing for so long, and so many things happened in the meantime... Well, everything that happened in the middle was basically a cheating accident. We will not recall it. Anyway, after working so nervously for nearly a month, everything is ready now. The opening ceremony of the carnival was the next day, so why could I still wander around the streets so calmly?

I thought about it, maybe it’s because I have been infected by Qianqian’s lack of heart... Ahem, maybe it’s because all possible preparations have been made. How will this unprecedented carnival develop? There is no need and no way for me to worry about it anymore, right?

With this thought running through my mind without any professional ethics, I said goodbye to Yakumo Murasaki and Reimu, who were still trying to make money to redeem themselves today, and wandered aimlessly in the Shadow City alone.

There is no concept of festivals in the inherent culture of the Xiling people. They never hold periodic celebrations without actual value. In the classic Xiling apostle worldview, it is an absolutely shameful waste to hold festivals just for entertainment and celebration. They do not At this time to stop fighting, Xiling Apostles will also have celebrations, but they are limited to irregular events such as war victory or the emperor's enthronement, and it is simply impossible to talk about the corresponding anniversaries. Yes, Apostle Xiling has a famous saying: Every victory only needs one celebration, and then we will only welcome the next triumph.

Therefore, the carnival can be said to be the first festival officially recorded by the Xiling Apostles. No one has any experience in organizing this kind of event. Sivis can only try his best to use Bubble's deduction ability to calculate all possible situations. For example, how to arrange the huge flow of people during the festival and how to manage the countless celebrations. Lin Xue also helped a lot. On the one hand, she used her prophecy ability to help Sivis fill the loopholes in the system. On the other hand, she used herself to organize various events. I can use the experience of various activities as a reference for Sivis, although I can’t understand where that girl got those experiences from at all...

I am surrounded by visitors from all over the world, and the city is filled with a festive atmosphere. Ever since my fight with the Abyss and the Fallen Apostles, it seems that I have not spent a day that can be called a festival for a long time. Now, I feel a little emotional. .

Before I knew it, I had arrived at the entrance of the assembly hall.

The boundary of the Shadow City ends here. An endless light barrier divides the area into two. After passing through the light barrier, what is in front of you is the carnival venue that has been established in an orderly manner. During the festival, the Shadow City will be open to everyone. But the main celebrations still have to be held here. It looks a bit like a huge chessboard. It is simply divided into several sizes according to the scale of the participating worlds. The largest venue is probably several kilometers long, which is enough to conquer the world. The Marine Corps in the Prussian Sector conducts a regiment-level group gymnastics. The smallest venue is only a few dozen meters wide. People who apply for such venues are generally wavelet visitors from the macro world. They can do some small business here and sell goods. Make a fortune with the specialties of your own world.

Now there are only a few builders and a few craftsmen doing finishing work in all the sites, which looks a bit deserted, but tomorrow, the place will definitely be lively as never before.

Walking along the central axis in front of the entrance is a rather special place.

A circular square with a radius of several kilometers.

Totem area.

This area was established due to my sister's proposal. It is not a celebration place, and no race can apply for the right to use it. It is the only place during the entire festival that only allows tourists to come to pay their respects and prohibits anyone from laughing and playing. There is no stage or speech area here, there are just countless giant projectors scattered all over the square.

The War of Vidis Abyss, the Salvation War of Azeroth, the Catastrophic Day of the Forbidden World, the Doomsday Battle of Koprulu, the establishment of the Mars Sanctuary, the counterattack of all races in the Great Nebula, the records of the fallen, the lives of racial heroes, and the struggles of civilizations History, deeds of heroes, lists of extinct civilizations, names one by one, sections of history, races one by one.

This is an area specially opened for "war heroes", recording all the hardships and obstacles they experienced for the survival of their race. These heroes also include the names of countless unknown little people, even if they were only in those wars. He was one of the countless grassroots commanders who died in the early battles. Even if they only sent a few carts of food to the soldiers on the front line during the war, everything was recorded in the countless holographic monuments in the square.

Regardless of race, world, or camp, the names left here are not only heroes of ordinary races, but also imperial commanders who died on the front line. They are condensed here into symbols, so that people who come here can understand The deeds of these heroes, and this square, will become a place that will be preserved forever after the festival. Perhaps in the years to come, visiting the totem area will become a fixed custom in imperial festivals.

Hats off to you, my friends.

"Finally, after all these years, the dawn is coming."

A soft voice suddenly sounded in my ears, and I was frightened while I was immersed in my memories. When I turned around following the voice, I was surprised and happy:

"Gaia?!"
