Chapter 254 Inner Wisdom
A huge inflatable airship flitted across the sky, and a commercial banner was hung on the outside that said the start of the dome battle ceremony.
It slowly swept across the sky, the weather was very bad, the heavy rain was accompanied by thunder and lightning, people worried about its safety, once it was hit, it might turn into a fireball.
Lila stood in front of the heavy floor-to-ceiling windows, looking at the gray landscape outside. The densely built office buildings and commercial centers were soaked in the heavy rain, and the traffic on the street was seriously congested. Since she stood here, the traffic flow has only moved a few days. 100 meters.
The location of Shijin Building is very unique. It is not in the shadow of giant buildings, and it is far away from the depressed and chaotic shantytowns and castle towns. It is located on the traditional "Third Ring Road", only 15 minutes by car to the city center. Machine is faster.
Lila believes that this building is exactly the same as Nisto Corporation's position in the world, and it just happens to be stuck in the cracks.
Nisto Company can establish contact with Xisheng Investment Group, and also deal with ordinary citizens in Aizu Dungeon all the time. Their faction contained witches, but also synths, gangsters, and mythical creatures, and rat witches wrapped in gel, waiting to wake up. They are running on their own track, unlike any previous organization.
Xu Yang told Lila that they just left Aizu City, but Aizu City is still there, has not disappeared, and is still the last home of the desperate. Therefore, Lila had to return to Aizu City to control the situation after staying in the Shijin Building for a few days, and continue to operate their foundation in Aizu City.
In Aizu City, she will launch a series of brand new investment and construction plans, and Yoko will coordinate among them. Enomoto Bank will initiate an investment of 1 billion in Nisto Company, which needs to be dispatched as soon as possible to avoid doubts from the bank.
Before leaving, Lila had one last thing to do.
She contacted Du Qianqian.
"Are you looking for me?" Du Qianqian walked through the corridor. She had no makeup, her hair was simply combed, and she was wearing a white long-sleeved vest with a black and white butterfly printed on the front, as if the original color had been stripped.
"Have you ever experienced such an experience?" Lila raised the psychological report in Yang's hand, "Convulsions, palpitation, fear, shrinking, rapid heartbeat without warning, and a sense of loss."
Du Qianqian flinched.
"It's nothing." Du Qianqian lowered his head, "These are not important."
The sense of oppression brought by Falosa is unparalleled. Du Qianqian is often trapped in the deep sea of dreams, with nowhere to escape. The God of Witches controls her destiny, and she is not free at all.
"I'll just mark it as 'yes'." Lila marked it on the report sheet.
"How do you know?" Du Qianqian wondered.
"Every witch played until dark in the activity room, except you." Lila's optical device focused on Du Qianqian's face, capturing her micro-expressions, and established a real-time mental state tracking.
Now Du Qianqian is like a puppet.
"..." Du Qianqian grabbed her right elbow uneasily. She looked outside, and the people and cars on the street were extremely small. Life is very cheap, and she remembered what she said before, it is so cheap that it will be erased in the blink of an eye, so cheap that no one cares.
"You'll lose yourself if you go on like this," Lila said. "What do you want to do in the future?"
"I don't know." Du Qianqian said simply.
Lila put the report sheet aside and clapped her hands together.
"Teach me now the method of sobriety that is popular in your army," she said. "First, take orders and tell me what you will do in the next hour."
"One hour..." Du Qianqian took a deep breath, "...I... want to be alone for a while."
"Where?"
"My own room..."
"Do nothing? Think nothing? That's impossible. You can do something even if you're alone."
"I think... I can read." Du Qianqian whispered.
"Which book? What type?"
Du Qianqian clenched his fists. She subconsciously thought of books because she wanted to be smart and knowledgeable. Faroza is not only a nightmare, but also a model of precepts and deeds. Faroza respects knowledge and power. Du Qianqian knew that if she wanted to be freed from Farosha's control, she must also pursue all opportunities to become stronger, not only magic power, but also wisdom.
"I'm not sure yet." Du Qianqian raised his head, "I think, I will read some works about witchology."
Witchology studies the origin of witches, the essence of magic, and the actual operation of magic circuits in witches, and explores how witches grow up and the history of population status changes in human society.
"You can't find this type of knowledge on the public Internet, so let's ask the boss to learn how to access the deep anonymous Internet." Lila picked up the psychological report, "This is what you need to do in the next hour. Now you are very clear about it."
"What about the next day, the next year? I still don't know." Du Qianqian asked.
"You can continue to find your way." Lila wrote more records on the psychological report, "You have to give yourself 6 to 12 months to breathe and try to rescue yourself from the state of being at a loss."
"Do I still have such a chance?"
"Life is not an endless race, it allows you to stop and think."
"Thank you." Du Qianqian bowed to Lila, "Falosa... really put a lot of pressure on me."
"A qualified organization must have the ability to self-monitor and self-purify." Lila said, "Our current scale and sphere of influence are not small, and we need someone to keep an eye on internal affairs."
"Yes." Du Qianqian lowered his head.
"I believe you are a trustworthy good boy." Lila observed Du Qianqian.
"I won't let you down." Du Qianqian was taken aback for a moment, then said firmly.
"Why don't you bring this with you?" Lila handed the psychological report to Du Qianqian. "You were trained as a spy. Disguise is your greatest skill, and intelligence gathering is your basic ability. You have to go from the inside. Observe and prevent any kind of crisis from happening. While I am away from here, you are responsible for continuing to observe and track these psychological reports, and remember to write your own."
Du Qianqian tried to look through, except for Xu Yang, Lila collected everyone's status.
"I understand..." Du Qianqian was flattered, she stood there for a while, looking at Lila, "Are you from the company army?"
"Originally belonged to a mechanized infantry brigade of a giant enterprise, reconnaissance sequence, and led the rank of second lieutenant in an internal independent system." Lila said.
"Yes, Second Lieutenant Lila." Du Qianqian saluted Lila, "I promise to complete the mission."
"Disband." Lila returned the salute to Du Qian.
Du Qianqian changed his gloomy attitude when he came, and disappeared down the aisle with unprecedented confidence and joy. She will do the work for Lila, observing and gathering intelligence from the inside.
Lila turned her eyes back to the window, the heavy rain gradually stopped, and the street became much cleaner.
"It seems to be working," Xu Yang sent a message to Lila, "it helps a lot, and it's good for everyone."
"Your idea is good, but I don't think it's a good thing to recruit Du Qianqian in the first place." Lila responded in the secret communication channel.
"Thinking about it, if it wasn't for us, Du Qianqian would still be dancing at the Sunrise Bar and being bullied by other staff."
"Growing up is a long process."
"It is also a necessary process, not only for the young witch, but also for Faroza herself." Xu Yang said, "The future will last forever."
"I will return as soon as possible, Master." Lila left the Shijin Building, "Even if I am separated from you for a short time, it is unbearable for me. Once the matter in Aizu City is resolved, I will return to you."
"No problem, 'Second Lieutenant'."
"Hey!" Lila felt shy, hurriedly took a taxi and left the Shijin Building.
After a week of preliminary selection, in early October, the main match of the Dome Battle Ceremony officially started.
A40 is sent to the arena area to wait for their group's game to start. When it came to the official competition stage, it was inconvenient for Xu Yang to go to the arena to hang out, and there was a risk of being targeted, so he stayed in the real gold building and watched the competition with the witches.
The trend of lively man-machine fighting is gradually rising. In order to make this flashy game more lively, many exaggerated news about quiz are rampant. The templates are very similar, telling how ordinary people can achieve wealth and freedom by betting on games. There is obviously a marketing pusher behind it. , But people's desire for profit could not be held back, and the trend of betting on games suddenly rose.
While some spectators seriously analyze the skills, functions and combat qualities of both sides of the game, others focus on the real-time odds and handicap funds.
Not only this battle ceremony, similar financial games have penetrated into every competitive sport. In the past ten years, cruel match-fixing facts have been exposed one after another, causing all kinds of sports to decline, and vigorous speculators Destroying most events like locusts, the Dome Battle Festival has become a new outlet, attracting the attention of bookmakers and betting dogs from all over the world.
"If we place bets, we will make a lot of money." Qianmeng ran to the smart screen, and she transferred to the official betting page, and Kyoto Unlimited itself is also supporting this kind of guessing business.
At present, the odds of A40 are 3.44, and the odds of Li Si are 1.98. In other words, as long as the funds are invested in A40, if A40 wins, it can earn 3.44 times as much funds.
"This isn't..." 102 was stunned. She and the other witches had hundreds of thousands of funds available for use, and they couldn't find a chance to spend them. "We are going to get rich."
"But can A40 win?" 101 wondered.
"Win or not, no one knows. But losing can be manipulated." Qian Meng used her brain.
"What do you mean?" 102 was puzzled.
"Let's bet on the guy opposite A40, and then notify A40 of a fake match!" Qian Meng said happily.
