Psychics don't die from gunfire

Chapter 243: Election Campaign

"As we all know, the Sun Festival has always been centered around the city airship, but there are also several branch venues on the ground. Behind me now is the construction site of the No. 3 venue of this year's Sun Festival. It is said that the chief designer of the No. 3 venue is Mr. Aizaki Toshi, the former chief art director of Yokoyamabo. Now please follow the camera and let us take a look together--"

In the live broadcast room, the reporter maintained a perfect but not annoying smile, dressed appropriately, and presented the venue No. 3, which was in the final inspection stage, to the audience with a very friendly image.

In addition to this official news broadcast, some self-media also received invitations and released videos about the Sun Festival. Some well-known singers, actors, and virtual anchors also announced that they would participate in the performance of the Sun Festival.

Various luxury brands of cosmetics, light luxury goods, electronic devices, etc. have also launched related linkage products. Even several popular games under [Age of Dust] have officially announced the entertainment linkage with the theme of the Sun Celebration, and launched a series of limited-time human rights cards, fashions, offline check-ins and other items.

Under the overwhelming publicity and marketing campaign of Fubo Energy, the whole Zhuguang City was filled with a cheerful and moving atmosphere, and even the approaching election for the new ruling party was no longer a concern for anyone.

No, to be precise, “most people” don’t care.

Seventy years ago, Fubo Energy led the development of [Forging Light City], which has become the undisputed center of the entire Rokar Plain. Therefore, almost every generation of the mayor of Forging Light City also serves as the chief executive of the Rokar Administrative District.

It can even be said that the mayor of Cast Light City is more powerful than the chief executive of the Rokar Administrative District.

——Because it represents the trust that [Fubo Energy] has in you, allowing you to be qualified to be the trusted family dog ​​of a giant enterprise!

Unfortunately, after a series of events including internal strife within the giant company, four full-scale corporate wars, the Freedom Revolution, and the entry of the Enlightened, Fubo Energy's control over Zhuguang City gradually weakened.

With the support from the General Security Bureau, "Shang Qiu" sensed the situation accurately and was re-elected as the mayor and chief executive for three consecutive terms, a total of twelve years, and gradually helped the government of the Rocar region get rid of its purely vassal status.

At least it is no longer a complete vassal and has some autonomy.

This was actually a heavy blow to Fubo Energy.

If the "government official" claim had existed during the heyday of Fubo Energy decades ago, even if the government of Zhuguang City, from the mayor to the clerical staff, were all firmly against the company, Fubo Energy would have been able to clear out everyone and replace them with obedient people the next day.

Not to mention humans, even if it is a "dog" in the true biological classification, as long as Fubo Energy wants, it can firmly become the mayor of Zhuguang City!
But it's different now.

First, Nanyu Heavy Industry and Zero Network seized the opportunity during the period of the all-out corporate war and intervened in the Light Forging City, forcing Fubo Energy to share part of its control with the former. Then, in recent years, Enlightenment announced its entry, causing Fubo Energy to suffer another setback.

In this case, the "official government" claim is no longer unimportant to Fubo Energy.

This is also the reason why they invested a lot of political donations and promoted candidates for important positions such as mayor who are affiliated with them, while secretly promoting Eshua Groden to run for the position of Supreme Court Justice.

No matter how nimble Shang Qiu is, or how much reputation she has accumulated over the past twelve years, according to the mayor's inauguration rules, she cannot continue to be re-elected - Fubo Energy wants to take advantage of Shang Qiu's resignation, the major reshuffle of key government officials in the Rockal region, and the opportunity of a new election to get everything back on track.

Let the government that used to be obedient come back.

This will allow FuBo Energy to act more conveniently.

"——So, I can't let you guys really hold the Sun Festival well."

Song Shi leaned back on the sofa, looked at the live broadcast room, and laughed softly.

The election is only a month and a half away, and the Sun Celebration is scheduled at this time. Obviously, one of the main reasons is to build momentum. You know, the Enlightened One has also secretly contacted some candidates and tried to cultivate senior officials close to him.

If Fubo Energy can really do a good job in organizing the Solar Celebration, and with their strong resources and decades of influence in Rockall, they might be able to make a major change in the city government after the election.

but
Now that I'm here and have accepted the job, I can't let them have their way. "Now I just have to wait for Chakoro's preparations."

Song Shi thought to himself that most of the absorbed spiritual energies of the Yuji Instrument and the Yaoxing Three Spirits had been digested in the past few days, so there would naturally be no problem by the day of the Sun Festival.

As for the advance preparation for "promotion"... I can only say that you don't need to worry about it.

".Um."

Thinking about this, I realized that I had nothing to do for the time being.

Song Shi thought for a few seconds and decisively decided to go out.

call--

The howling wind hit me in the face, the air flow at minus ten degrees was as cold as a knife - and it was not even an empty promise, mixed with waste metal particles that were randomly discharged by factories and overflowed into the air, these howling cold winds could really tear a person's face apart.

However, today's weather conditions are pleasant. Although the wind is cold, it has not reached this level.

Song Shi lives in the fifth district, which was originally the "neutral relaxation zone" between the company and Qimingzhe. However, after the deployment of the geothermal power plant branch, Qimingzhe has begun to expand its sphere of influence here with the help of the branch.

However, even if the Enlightened Ones had already made a lot of plans, this level of action would not be possible in a short period of time, so the Fifth District still retains much of its past appearance.

Song Shi strolled around with great interest for a while and indeed felt the strong festive atmosphere. The shops along the street were hung with traditional Rockard ornaments such as sun emblems and orange flags.

To be more precise, these are all holographic projections - the city government has distributed a bunch of free holographic projection models and asked shops on the streets to download them to their respective holographic billboards to highlight the arrival of the Sun Celebration.

"You've been following me for so long, and you're not going to talk?"

Until one moment, at the entrance of a remote and dilapidated alley, Song Shi suddenly stopped.

He turned his head and looked behind him.

After a brief period of calm, a man who had been disguised as a passerby walked out awkwardly from a rusty old car that had been parked on the roadside for who knows how long and was covered with dust.

His clothes were not luxurious, just ordinary casual wear, and he wore a down jacket with a built-in electric heating device and stuffed with artificial down on the outside - in Casting Light City, the latter was considered the most popular type of clothing.

"——name, origin, intention."

Song Shi stood still, glanced at the man, and said simply: "If you run, you will die."

After hearing what the other party said, the man who was still considering his words immediately raised his hands: "Wait, wait, wait! I mean no harm! Absolutely no harm!"

Seeing that the young man was unmoved and seemed about to raise his five fingers, the man took a deep breath and quickly spoke seriously.

"——You are 'Nan Dou', Song Shi, right?"
