The addition of Xuehua Qijing gave the family something to talk about for a while. As a well-deserved "first family", we welcome any new members, but the celebration plan put forward by Qianqian is finally It still hasn't been implemented: after the rebirth, Xiao Qijing is too weak, she only persisted in the outside world for less than ten minutes, and then returned to my mind and fell asleep.
Coupled with Alaya who also lives in my own spiritual world, I can now proudly announce that we have now gone out alone and brought our family with us!
Although it sounds like this ability is simply inferior.
The next few days are calm days, everything is in order, and the carnival is just around the corner.
The group of five in the God Realm finally calmed down a lot after the excitement in the first few days. Except for occasionally harming or fooling the envoys of various ethnic groups in the Shadow City, they knew to save me trouble when they went out. I have to say Ding Dong still has a little restraint on 123 and the others, and Bingtis is also a high-level god, so he knows how to measure it—theoretically.
As for the Shadow City and the other two meeting places, they have now entered the final stage of construction. According to my proposal, all the meeting places will start construction at the same time and be completed in a mixed manner. The highly efficient Xiling builders were responsible for the construction of the main venue and public places, and the craftsmen brought by each ethnic group were responsible for the unique decorations of each ethnic group. Show their culture well, and those "refugees" who are weak, maybe even a small team of a dozen people, who come to participate in the celebration can also get a modular site mass-produced by the builders according to their hobbies , it is said that many visitors to the macro world choose this way: they usually 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 the public venue, and there is no Visitors from Shaohong World also chose to form a group to solve the embarrassment of personnel. For example, I recently heard that Sakazaki Yuri and Sakagami Tomoyo formed a team. They plan to hold a ring in District 73...
Of course, more people came here for the excitement here. They didn't participate in performances or cultural exhibitions, they were pure tourists. These people accounted for 10% of the carnival visitors. This is a huge flow of people, and the composition of the personnel is extremely complex. It is expected that not to mention the entire venue, even a community will have a daily average traffic of more than 100,000 people. How to manage such a huge population will naturally become the most important task for the carnival organizers. As a headache, we urgently expanded the number of urban management at the beginning, but this was only a temporary solution, not the root cause. Fortunately, a lazy guy turned out to solve this big problem at a critical moment.
Hakurei Reimu: "Ah, why do we have to be so tired, obviously people from other worlds are here to play, so it's okay to let people from their own world maintain law and order?"
So, problem solved.
Let the big world set up its own security department to help manage the discipline of all races during the carnival. This is the idea of a certain unscrupulous red and white witch who can be lazy and has been caring about her salary.
Although it looks like a very troublesome job, any powerful world is vying for this opportunity. This is a proof of strength, and it is the capital that can overwhelm other races in the Space-Time Administration in the future. When the time comes, I will greet you face to face It can be said like this: "Isn't he a Zentraedi star? Didn't our light music department tear up tickets at the carnival back then, so that our calves twisted when we heard the sound of paper?"
so and so.
Now, the Azeroth Urban Management Brigade, the Vidis Social Security Patrol Team, the Koprulu Residents' Behavior and Discipline Inspection Office, and the Christian "speaking of civilization, establishing a new style, and the leadership team for the construction of imperialist spiritual civilization in the new era" have all officially Listings, according to the order of establishment, we can find that their names are longer than each other-there are also competitions among various races.
Today, the shadow city has completely changed. The streets that were a little deserted in the past are full of bustling people. Visitors from all walks of life come in an endless stream. They wear strange clothes and have different looks. At first glance, it looks like a group of demons dancing. Yes, there is such a taste of sub-civilization integration everywhere, which is even worse than the original immigration wave, and even more exaggerated than the racial mixing state of the Pan-Galactic Civilization Community. Standing in the city center and looking at it, that Some have pointed ears, beards, arms longer than legs, three eyes, knees bent back, tails, no mouths, just a big eyeball floating in the sky Damn, there is a big iron ball rolling across the ground, if no one explains it, you wouldn’t be able to confirm whether it is a living thing in front of you...
And among them are groups of guys wearing red hoops.
"Your proposal has been well implemented and appears to be working well."
Standing on the central square, looking at the hard-working people of all nationalities, I nodded gratifiedly to Hongbai next to me.
It only took a few days for the random intruder to quickly adapt to the local environment, with a smug smile on his face, and a "city management" armband pinned to his arm. With a smile, this guy began to bargain with me: "Then Is there no need to deduct this month's bonus?"
To be honest, if it wasn't for various reasons, I really want to see if this guy's integrity is really worth 100,000 yuan!
"Learn from Zi Yakumo, how hardworking he is."
I glanced at the blond girl behind who was busy adjusting the shift of the Dimensional Hub, and said quietly.
It is said that Yakumo Zi's power is "manipulating the realm", which means controlling the "conceptual boundary" of everything in the world, such as the ridgeline 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 is to be able to separate the world from a chaotic state into a clear and orderly state, and it can also disrupt an orderly world into chaos-in theory, but in fact she should not have that energy.
Anyway, it is quite a skill against the sky, and the chief dispatcher of the dimensional hub also took a fancy to her talent, so she let her use her unique understanding of the space realm to help share the workload of the dimensional hub host. Now it seems that Yakumo Zi Really does the job well, though...
"Wow! Why is this one not moving?"
Although there are occasional hiccups due to mechanical idiocy.
It seems that these two miserable girls who are working to redeem themselves will have to be unlucky for a while.
"My lord, this is today's academy newspaper!! Judgmen Mercury Lamp yelled while jumping."
Suddenly a voice from below interrupted my thoughts. I followed the sound and saw a big head looking at me from an almost ninety-degree angle. Next to the head was a roll of newspaper held up high.
I froze for a moment, and then found that the armband of the discipline committee member was brazenly on the arm of the three-headed mercury lamp.
"What's going on here? You also came out to maintain law and order?"
Through the way the other party speaks, I confirm that the controller of this doll is a certain Misaka sister, but when did this murderous "judgmen mercury lamp" appear
"Because the Misakas are going to prepare for the school festival during the festival, and the security of the Academy City area must be taken care of by the Misakas themselves, so the Mercury Lantern Corps has collectively transformed into the Judgmen Mercury Lantern Corps! Please entrust us to protect the peace of Shadow City during the festival. My lord, this is today's academy newspaper, the judgmen Mercury Lamp stood on tiptoe and handed the newspaper into my lord's hand."
... After seeing so many volunteers maintaining law and order from other worlds, it turns out that these big bosses are the most vicious.
I embarrassingly took the college newspaper in the hands of the Disciplinary Commissioner Mercury Lamp, glanced at it, and immediately became even more embarrassing.
"... According to this newspaper, there is a problem with the sports competition scheduled to be held during the school festival. Because the synchronization rate of the Misakas is too high, the student union is urgently discussing whether to allow all the participants of the sports event to tie for the 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... Eh? Why are you here?"
The voice behind me made me put down the newspaper, Yakumo Zi's resentful face immediately occupied my sight.
In just a few days, she has completely transformed into a hardworking girl? The pollution ability of the empire's unscrupulous aura is really cruel!
It is not easy for Yakumo Zi to work obediently and pay off her debts. I even thought it was theoretically impossible. It's not a joke that the cunning monster leader is willing to be a small worker, but what is surprising is that after only two or three days, Yakumo Zi, who has been making small moves, has calmed down. Qijiashe and the others lined up: the two sides almost fought last time.
"I heard about you, and I feel that you, who they call the emperor, are actually quite to my liking," explained the forever seventeen-year-old Yakumo, "Your city reminds me of Gensokyo—I mean the atmosphere here that everyone regards as home, and if you break your things, help with work to pay off the debt.”
A big monster with a conscience, this is my second understanding of Yakumo Zi, and the first understanding is: this guy seems to be a master who can sleep better than Alaya.
Working in Shadow City, you can't sleep casually, and you can't just hide in the gaps and miss work. This is Yakumo Zi's biggest resentment for her current life. In addition, it seems that she, like Reimu, has a temporary dissatisfaction with life here. It's 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, and she naturally understands the significance of this city connecting the world, so when she can go home has become her most concerned thing at present. pity…
"Sorry, your world still hasn't discovered it," I replied apologetically, "In fact, we haven't figured out the reason for the big wave of crossing and the surge in the probability of crossing events after that, and the world affected by it Exactly how many are still under investigation, so finding the hometown of you and Reimu may only depend on luck, but don't worry, theoretically, that world should be near the world of the censor. We have already established a Giant scanning array, as long as you find energy close to your breath, you can lock that world."
"Oh, that's right."
The blond girl sighed with regret.
"Well, I'm a little concerned. Are all the youkai in Gensokyo so emotional?"
During the chat, I also became interested in the things in Gensokyo. The cheating life has told me one thing for this bad luck halo carrier: never underestimate any cheating incidents you encounter, because it often means a more cheating Expand, since Yakumo Zi and Hakurei Reimu dared to enter Lulu Shame's world, it doesn't make sense for Gensokyo to return to peace. The Great Prophet Lin has not given himself any enlightenment yet, but I think that for my own peaceful life, I can Extending that a bit, it's better to know more about things now.
Yakumo Zi looked at this side with some 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 it’s emotional, I’m not used to living in your city, although you have a way of ruling that I agree with, but I don’t like a place where even free movement is restricted.”
Do you monsters have no concept of turning when talking? !
I looked at the other party sadly: "What do you mean, I have to be responsible for Wanmin, you know, it's hard for you to hurt anyone here, and it's not like you don't know where this place is."
"Weird world," Yakumo Zi murmured without holding back, "and weird rulers, you are not as powerful as the legends say, where did the soldiers' enthusiasm for you come from?"
I:"… "
I feel that if I am serious with a monster, I will lose completely.
"Wait patiently, at least earn enough money to redeem yourself first." I squinted at Reimu next to me who was about to run away, and the other party immediately stood at attention as if waiting to be shot, the urban management armband on his arm was so eye-catching, "Tomorrow is It’s the opening ceremony of the carnival, and it’s a rare opportunity for you to watch this grand ceremony and have fun secretly.”
Yes, tomorrow is the opening ceremony, but why am I not nervous at all now
After preparing for such a long time, so much happened in the middle... Well, what happened in the middle is basically a cheating accident, we will not recall it, anyway, I have been tossing so nervously for nearly a month, and now everything is ready, the second Today is the opening ceremony of the carnival, why can I still wander the streets so calmly
I thought about it, maybe it's because I've been infected by Qianqian's lack of heart... Ahem, maybe it's because all the preparations that can be made have been done, and it's unclear how this carnival, which has never been done before, will develop. There is no way to worry about it by yourself anymore, right
Unprofessional wandering around this thought in my mind, I bid farewell to Yakumo Zi and Reimu who are still working hard to make money to redeem themselves today, and wandered aimlessly in Shadow City by myself.
There is no concept of festivals in the inherent culture of the Xiling people. They never hold periodic celebrations without practical value. In the classic Xiling apostolic worldview, it is an absolute shameful waste to hold festivals just for entertainment and celebration. They have no At this time to stop your own fighting steps, the apostles of Xiling will also have celebrations, but that is limited to irregular events such as war victories or the emperor's enthronement, and it is impossible to say that the corresponding anniversary Existence, Xiling Apostle has a famous saying: Every victory needs only 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 Apostles of Xiling in history. No one has experience in organizing such events. Sivis can only 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; The experience of this kind of activity is used as a reference for Sivis, although I can't understand where the girl got those experiences...
Surrounded by visitors from all over the world, the city is filled with festive atmosphere. Ever since I fought against the abyss and the fallen apostles, I seem to have not spent a day that can be called a festival for a long time. Now, I feel a little bit emotional .
Before I knew it, I had arrived at the entrance of the meeting place.
The boundary of Shadow City ends here, and a layer of endless grating divides the area into two. After passing through the grating, in front of you is the carnival venue that has been built in a patchwork manner. During the festival, Shadow City will be open to everyone. But the main celebration activities will still be held here. It looks a bit like a huge chessboard, which is simply divided into several sizes according to the size of the participating worlds. The largest venue may have a side length of several kilometers. The Marine Corps in the Prue star area is conducting a legion-level group gymnastics. The smallest venue is only tens of meters wide. The people who apply for this kind of venue are generally Xiaobo visitors from the macro world. They can do a little business here, sell Special products from your own world to make a fortune.
Now there are only a few builders and a few craftsmen doing finishing work in all the venues. It looks a bit deserted, but tomorrow, it will definitely be bustling like never before.
Proceeding along the central axis in front of the entrance, it is a rather special place.
A circular square with a radius of several kilometers.
Totem area.
The establishment of this area is due to the proposal of my sister. It is not a place for celebrations, 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 respects and prohibits anyone from playing. Place, there is no stage or lecture area here, there are just countless giant projectors all over the ground of the square.
Vidis Abyssal War, Azeroth Salvation War, World Havoc Day, Koprulu Doomsday Battle, Mars Sanctuary Establishment, Great Nebula Ten Thousand Clans Counterattack, Records of the Dead, Lives of Racial Heroes, Civilization Resistance History, the deeds of heroic spirits, the list of extinct civilizations, names, sections of history, and races.
This is an area specially opened for "war heroes", recording all the hardships and obstacles they have experienced for the survival of their own race. These heroes also include the names of countless unknown little people, even if they were only in those wars. One of the countless low-level commanders who fell in the early battles, even if they only sent a few carts of food to the frontline soldiers during the war, everything was recorded in the countless holographic monuments in this square.
Regardless of race, regardless of world, regardless of camp, there are not only heroes of ordinary races, but also imperial commanders who died on the front line. They are condensed into symbols here, so that people who come here can understand The deeds of these heroes, and this square, will also 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 of the imperial festival.
Hats off to you, my friends.
"Finally, after so many years, the dawn is coming."
A soft voice suddenly sounded in my ears, and I, who was concentrating on my memories, was startled. After following the sound and turning around, I was surprised and delighted:
"Gaia?!" RO
