Chapter 1456 1/2

Late at night, the Administration.

Under the dim yellow light, only the staff ran silently.

The overhead mechanism is still in operation. The night shift members calmly completed the handover with their colleagues who got off work on time, came to their own jobs, and continued to work like finding a needle in a haystack.

Outside Ms. X’s office, there was a knock on the door.

Egor.

“Excuse me.” He nodded slightly: “Is there any news?”

“It’s a pity, intelligence work is always a water mill. You can’t come to an end, and suddenly let me be a magical blue-skinned robot cat, omnipotent, and come up with a plan.”

Ms. X stood up calmly and asked casually, “Bourbon? Or Highland?”

“Or only whisky?” Yegor frowned.

“You need to order these things, look at your face that is drinking coffee to the point of sudden death, have a cup, you will thank me.” Ms. X put the cup in front of him.

A full glass, the heavy amber liquor exudes a seductive fragrance, which makes Yegor smile helplessly.

“Forgive me, it’s not time to celebrate yet.”

“So, what’s the matter with me?” Ms. X returned to her place.

“Bringing you some good news.” Yegor submitted the observation report of today’s regeneration plan, which made Ms. X’s brows slightly raised, and finally, smiled softly.

“What’s wrong?” Yegor said, “For the second time in two hundred years, the Overhead Agency has participated in the regeneration program, and it has gained such a strong position. I think you should be happy.”

“Happy? Well, it’s a bit, but she shouldn’t be too happy.” Ms. X sighed: “It’s understandable to try to take the initiative and control the situation after losing such a troublesome job, but more, I’m afraid Rebellious mentality?”

you want me to do this?

OK.

Are you ready for the consequences?

As if I could imagine, the subordinate’s sharp questioning caused the corner of Ms. X’s mouth to evoke an expectant smile.

Of course, Ai Qing.

This is of course…

“Your sense of smell is still so scary, and you prepared it in advance?” Yegor asked curiously, “Did you notice something?”

“I can only say… intuition? There is no evidence, and there is no guesswork… It’s just that the instinct doesn’t feel right, so I want to prepare early to avoid accidents.”

Ms. X sighed with a half-smile, “If you want to say it, you just hate uncontrollable factors, right?”

“Which one?”

“Um?”

Yegor asked persistently, “In your opinion, which is the uncontrollable factor between the regeneration plan and Ai Qing?”

“It depends on the situation, doesn’t it?”

Ms. X did not answer directly, but said indifferently: “But now, isn’t everything under control? She has talent.”

“So, is there really no real investigation result?” Yegor finally asked before leaving.

“Huh? Are you talking about the unusual movement of logistics in London? Or the strange tide that is rife in the current situation? The rising extreme emotions in the decision-making room? Or the problems with the operation of various departments? The sudden emergence of rallies at the border? The sky-high bounty that appeared on The Collection of Sins?

There are, and more than that. ”

Ms X asked: “The Silent’s profiling of the Silver Sea is still in progress, as is the data comparison and London-wide screening.

All the clues are inextricably intertwined, which one do you want to hear? ”

Yegor asked: “Simple, straightforward, and something I can understand.”

“Then look at this.”

Ms. X threw an analysis report of the regeneration plan to Yegor. Yegor turned to the end and was confused: “Everything is normal?”

“That’s the preliminary analysis result, huh, novice.” Ms. X shook her head unhappily: “If she were here, I’m afraid the problem would have been discovered long ago.”

“You go straight to the second page,” she said.

The place marked red by her.

[…At 0:35 in the morning, according to the chaotic calculation statistics, all 33 investigators entered the venue, and the regeneration plan began…]

“What’s wrong?” Yegor still didn’t understand.

He was answered by another list, stamped with the seal of the Pioneer Society, listing all the institutions involved in the regeneration project.

In total…

“Thirty-two?” Yegor frowned.

incredible.

If you don’t believe in evil, count it again, and then, again.

“Yeah, thirty-two institutions.”

Ms. X whispered softly, “Where did the extra one come from?”

Thirty-two agencies, thirty-two agents, and the authority issued by the Pilot Association are only thirty-two.

But who is the extra one?

Yegor was silent for a long time.

He picked up the wine on the table, raised his head, and drank it.

He needs a little heat.

In the terrifying chill like falling into an ice cave…

.

.

The next day, in the morning, at eight o’clock.

North London, Old Town Hall.

In the early days of the Authority, it was the heart of London. With the passage of time, the blocks and buildings have aged, and after the relocation of the city hall more than a hundred years ago, it has become a tourist attraction to commemorate.

The ancient and huge building was silent at the moment, only the lights were on, and the surrounding blocks were bathed in a dark and dense rain curtain. Just in front of the door, there was a sign for temporary visit.

But in fact, cognitive impairment had already been activated a few days earlier when Maxim moved in.

Today the town hall has become the headquarters of the office.

At the same time, they are also the only institution that has never concealed their position, exposing all processes and operations to everyone’s prying eyes, just like the decision-making room.

declare the existence of self.

Since the early morning, low-key vehicles have been parked around the office, and visitors wearing raincoats and umbrellas are in a constant stream.

After a terrifying night, the participants finally ushered in the dawn and the set time, and converged here.

If only the situation were changed…

Maxim, who was standing behind the door to greet all the visitors, had this idea more than once.

If it was normal, under the pressure of Solomon, everyone formed such an alliance with the office as the center, and it was almost possible to declare victory.

Whether it is negotiating, suppressing, threatening or trading, a complete camp can always be formed.

It’s a pity… there are two fishbone in the throat of the overhead agency and the financial weaving bureau. The alliance can only be such a loose alliance forever.

Once Solomon is out, everything will fall apart.

We can only try our best to show the influence of the office during the operation and attract more free agencies.

Look for opportunities…

And just as he was thinking, a sharp voice suddenly sounded from in front of him.

drop! !

For a time, in front of the security gate, everyone was like an enemy.

And just in front of the door, the woman who came in the rain slowly put away her umbrella and handed it to the sluggish security guard beside her: “Don’t be nervous, it’s just a metal plate on two bones.

If you are so nervous, do you want to take it out? ”

Ai Qing.

Under the surveillance of the secret instrument, the bones of her lower body were revealed from the screen, as well as the metal structures attached to her legs, hip bones and spine.

Those are the tragic traces left by the car accident…

The first to react was Maxim.

“welcome.”

He took the initiative to reach out: “Do you have time to talk?”

“After the operation is over?” Ai Qing suggested.

“Are you so confident?”

Maxim sighed slightly.

“I have confidence in myself, and you should have confidence in me.”

“Better have it,” she said.

In this way, she crossed the door in front of her and walked towards the conference hall.

After omitting the red tape and skipping all unnecessary procedures, when Ai Qing entered the ‘prison’ prepared for her, the command center was already ready.

“A new type of Tianmu system?”

When she sat in front of the chair and looked at the complicated command system in front of her, she couldn’t help laughing: “It’s really well-prepared.”

Maxim nodded slightly and did not speak.

As an agent of the General Office, he holds the authority [Decision Moment] issued by the decision-making room – when necessary, he can fully take over all institutions, departments and systems in the whole of London, and issue and issue orders.

He can do anything City Hall can do, and he can do it better.

Even though she had expected it long ago, when Ai Qing saw the data and formation in front of her, she couldn’t help but sighed at this remarkable talent.

Coordinate, plan, orchestrate, integrate…

In just the middle of the night, he has completed all the materials and manpower submitted by all the agents, and even the historical materials and combat experience, background, and skills of each key person.

Even, considerate gives a lot of advice only for reference.

There is absolutely nothing to hold back, which is amazing.

In contrast, the available manpower is… utterly interesting.

“There are two hundred and twenty-six ascendants, and a total of five hundred and sixty elite soldiers… It looks like a really elite group.”

Ai Qing looked at the luxurious lineup in her hands and smiled silently: “Should I thank everyone for placing unrealistic expectations on me?”

Use this manpower to fight Solomon?

Are you serious?

“Conditions are limited.” Maxim answered.

Can’t see helplessness or gloating, his expression is always solemn and calm.

This is what Ai Qing did her best to win the fighting power from her ‘allies’ – ‘one-half’ of all the staff.

This is the last question raised by someone at the end of yesterday’s meeting.

“What if you deliberately consume everyone’s manpower?”

The person asking the question said: “It’s best for you to let us and Solomon lose both? If it’s okay to win Solomon, what if you lose after a command error? And, how do you ensure that you don’t deliberately drain our subordinates? , in order to seek his own victory?”

“So, what do you think it should be?” Ai Qing asked back.

“It’s very simple. I believe that it is not a problem for the alliance to work together to take down Solomon. If this is the case, then it should not be necessary to use all the combat power?” The questioner said confidently: “If there is half of it, I will I think that should be enough.”

“really-”

Ai Qing sighed in admiration, “Your Excellency is quite far-sighted.”

What is outrageous is that the voice of Ying He is also continuous, as if the sound of the small abacus being fiddled with, so clear.

In response, Ai Qing just smiled silently.

Should I say stupid or smart?

No matter who proposes or agrees, in the final analysis, they never trust Ai Qing, even if she pays so much in exchange.

Even those who understand will not speak, hoping to use this as an excuse to grab more chips from Ai Qing.

No, maybe they have seen the future after defeating Solomon?

Whether it’s to avoid the loss of strength, or to gain more power in the fight…

Actually…

Well, they are right.

If there is a chance to cause the people present to bleed, then Ai Qing will definitely not hesitate. If they can suffer heavy losses, they must rely on the protection of overhead agencies. If they have no choice, then they have only their own way to go.

The key to the Authority is domination, and the struggle for **** is always full of compromises. There is no doubt that everyone here is the embodiment of compromise and struggle.

But the key point is… even if Ai Qing can do this, it is only after she has the certainty of defeating Solomon.

Instead of dragging its feet before the war begins.

In this regard, Ai Qing just smiled politely, drank tea, and waited for the discussion to come to an end. When the proposer who had almost got everyone’s approval asked Ai Qing’s opinion, she just nodded slightly.

“sure.”

“No problem,” she said.

In the weird and short silence, she smiled slightly and made a final decision: “Let’s decide…there shouldn’t be any objections, right?”

Only silence and astonishment answered her.

In fact, even the definition of [one-half] manpower is completely ambiguous. Is it half the number of people? Or half the strength?

There is too much room for writing.

Everyone is well aware that once this hole is opened, too many people will be given excuses and reasons to deal with it passively.

As for the quality, even if it looks like a group of elites, it is probably not worth mentioning when compared with the real wealth?

And among the few institutions that cooperate fully, besides Maxim, there is actually Camilla?

Ai Qing was quite surprised by this.

“What’s wrong with you?” she asked, “Have you fallen for evil?”

“I’m willing to admit defeat.”

Camilla smiled sweetly and said, “girlshelpgirls!”

Disgusting, what a cute sweetheart?

Is this old woman in her thirties?

Ai Qing smiled and nodded, “Thank you.”

“No thanks.” Camilla was not ashamed, raised her chest and raised her head, as if she had been praised.

As for Ai Qing, she just silently moved her up one place from the cleanup list.

rush.

And then, the work begins.

The actual command work is not as cool as in the movie. In order to first find out how many people there are, how many can be used, the specific level and composition, as well as the composition of each part, the team reorganization, and check the time and code name Tables, group numbers, and everything else took her an hour.

This is already fast.

Seeing the time passing by every minute and second, when it was approaching noon, only the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and some people were already impatient.

“When exactly will it start?”

In the command center, among all the onlookers, someone said, “It won’t be delayed until the afternoon, right?”

“Soon, right now.”

Ai Qing asked a question without irritability: “In a little while, there should be news.”

“information?”

The questioner is puzzled: “What news?”

Ai Qing did not answer.

Only in the distance, there was a faint roar of explosion.

The hall of the old city hall shook with a bang, and then, a high-pitched alarm from the secret ritual suddenly blew up—an unknown force invaded!

Then, with the strange twist of the air, as if an invisible drill bit suddenly pierced out of the void, moving forward a little bit, the debris flew out, forming a light like crystallization.

That’s a fast-opening pathway!

—【Bright Tunnel】!

And just before that, outside the city hall building, in the heavy rain curtain, on the rooftop a block away, the heavy rain poncho was torn apart, revealing the sharp outline below.

The messy cables, chips and even the motherboard are exposed to the rain, sparks fly, and the randomly welded screen is still flickering with noise and black spots.

But now, as the operator completed the final input, the huge frame shook suddenly, followed by thick smoke and flames rising into the sky.

Follow the steel bird soaring above the sky.

That is…

“missile!!”

In the front row of the command center, the observers shouted in horror.

boom! !

In the rainstorm, a dazzling flame suddenly burst out.

The terrifying heat that was enough to completely set the entire block on fire rose into the sky, and along with the storm and the thick smoke, the thick clouds were torn apart, allowing the gloomy sunlight to shine from beyond the clouds.

Illuminated the city hall riddled with fissures and crumbling.

Just above the city hall, the alchemy matrix and frame originally used for defense have begun to flicker violently, and it is difficult to support this sudden attack.

Next, the second one!

Then, the third one!

Without hesitation, he used the means of war on his opponents.

After the bombardment of the three missiles, the ground was shaking, and the building on the right had collapsed with a whimper. In the violent turmoil, the lights in the command center flickered.

A large number of metal foils fell in the torrential rain, and the intense electromagnetic pulse quickly dimmed the lights in several blocks, and even the screen in front of Ai Qing began to flicker violently.

There were chaotic reports and roars in the communication channels.

And, gunshots—

The Mingguang Tunnel slammed open, and then, after the tunnel poured in like a torrent, there were countless steel soldiers shrouded in layers of armor!

—The undead legion armed to the soul!

At this moment, Ai Qing finally got the news from Solomon—his declaration of war!

“what happened?”

In the turbulent dust, someone screamed: “Why…”

“I’ve already said that there are ghosts among us. Do you want me to repeat it a second time?” Ai Qing interrupted him: “Can’t you just shut up and be quiet for a while?”

The sharp eyes swept over each face, distinguishing their applications, confirming their guesses, or adding more doubts.

I’m afraid, before the establishment of the alliance, Solomon has already received the news, right?

Hearing that under his own pressure, his opponents chose to unite and even choose a commander… If he were Solomon, he might have laughed out loud.

He just missed a chance to wipe out the enemy in one go.

No matter when, the most annoying person is always Erwuzai.

For this kind of inner ghost hiding around…

Ai Qing just wanted to say thank you.

If there is no real ghost, then she can only find a way to find someone to call Solomon to inform him.

Listen up, Solomon, the Overhead Agency unites the office and throws a great party at Town Hall tomorrow. All the participants will be in attendance, guess who didn’t receive the invitation?

-you!

And now, the classmates who were “bullied” came to the door with guns.

Braving the heavy rain, rushed to the invitation.

Running in both directions, isn’t it beautiful?

War came suddenly.

Just like the prelude to the opening of the dance, amidst the chirping of the electromagnetic knives and the roar of the mantra bombs, there was a mighty sound.

Under the overlook of the internal surveillance, it can be seen that those steel soldiers assembled in an array, moved straight forward, and began to destroy everything with jaw-dropping efficiency.

Even the maintenance of the city hall by the old administration turned it into a fortress.

Even, as if he knew the layout of the interior, he went straight to the weak point of the defense.

The blockade of the layers of mysteries and the matrix quickly collapsed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and all the people assembled here began to deploy in a hurry.

In less than half a minute, the ground floor of the North Wing Building of City Hall was about to fall.

And it was not until this time, in the chaos, that Maxime noticed the amazing calmness and calmness of the woman beside him—it made people wonder if she had expected it.

No, she had already seen such a result, right?

Even in the face of the accusation of a ‘betrayer’ raised by some of the agents at the moment, without raising his head or looking at it, he quickly mobilized the newly reorganized manpower to start organizing the defense.

“Please rest assured, relying on the careful planning and preparation with the General Office, Solomon will not be able to break our defense for the time being.”

After the parts were gradually put into place, Ai Qing sighed lightly: “In a short time, everyone and I are safe, but…”

“Just what? Can’t we just be a little bit quicker!”

Someone asked angrily, dissatisfied that she was still selling at this time.

“It’s just that defense is passive after all. Since Solomon dares to attack us, I’m afraid he has the certainty of completely destroying us.”

Ai Qing answered bluntly: “For today’s plan, our chance of victory is only to take the lead in capturing the opponent’s fortress before it completely falls here.”

As soon as the words came out, the command center fell into dead silence again.

More than one person wanted to urge her to launch an attack quickly, but then they remembered that the combat forces that had just been assembled were already besieged in the city hall!

For a time, UU reading www.uukanshu.com couldn’t help but feel stunned.

“So far, where’s the time?”

“It’s too late, of course it’s too late.”

Ai Qing’s thoughtful relief: “You don’t have to be so depressed.”

Just like that, she smiled, looked at the faces that seemed to have a glimmer of hope, and told them, “No, is there still one half left?”

In this hellish weather, after experiencing downtime of the air conditioner, difficult maintenance, overnight ordering, expedited delivery, emergency installation… and the pigeons that lasted all day yesterday, the air conditioner was finally installed this afternoon.

Woohoo, air conditioner, my air conditioner…
