Chapter 1174 New Bronze Casting Old Stories

At the Federal Capital Branch of Yuanren Company, Chief Security Advisor Xiang Boqing was sitting in his office, looking at a newly-mailed publication.

He didn't read the text content carefully, but just looked at the photos published on it.

In the photo, Chen Chuan was standing there with a long knife in his hand, and a headless body was kneeling in front of him.

The photo is very well-made, taken from a side angle, with the flat ground as the baseline, and the kneeling headless body and Chen Chuan's tall body as points and lines, presenting a triangular composition.

The picture also deliberately leaves space for the fluttering red scarf, and its flying posture adds a touch of dynamism to the scene, making it appear very tense.

Fortunately, the body had no head, and the cameraman did not capture the head, nor did he mention the specific name. People who didn't know it would not know who it was, which saved the owner of the body a little bit of face.

Just a little bit.

This is actually no secret among the circle of top fighters.

Xiang Boqing's eyes flickered. The part of the limbs he had sent out before was actually also disinfected by Chen Chuan.

Although not many people knew about it that time, there were still people who knew about it. However, it did not cause any waves because Fan Zhentong also went there, and others just thought that they encountered obstruction from Fan Zhentong.

But he could clearly feel from the spiritual power that he was completely defeated head-on by Chen Chuan.

At this time, the dedicated phone on the table rang.

He took a look and the microphone floated up by itself and came to his ear. Mr. Gao's voice came out from it, with a questioning tone: "Mr. Xiang, is this true?"

Xiang Boqing gave a clear answer: "The publications of the International Fighters Council will be internally verified before being issued, so there will be no mistakes."

The other side fell silent.

Xiang Boqing remained calm and waited there. He knew that the other party had not finished speaking yet.

After a while, the other party spoke: "The visiting delegation is now heading towards the central city. Can you get rid of him before then?"

Xiang Boqing said, "Mr. Gao, after the last attack, Fan Zhentong has been staring at me. There is no way I can attack him. And last time I had permission from the West Coast. This time I have no reason."

"I can convince the council to apply for another permit for you, bypassing the agreement."

Xiang Boqing said, "Mr. Gao, the boss will definitely know about that."

There was another silence over there. After a moment, the person on the other side slowly said, "Mr. Xiang, since you can't do it, I hope to try my best to prevent him from meeting his brother."

Xiang Boqing said in a deep voice: "Mr. Gao, I'm sorry, I can't do this either, because this person is the director of the Security Department of Jibei Road.

Sir, you know that the company's main business in Dashun is in Dashun Jibei Road. As the director of the security department of Jibei Road, the company cannot bypass this person in this matter. Returning to Donglu has always been the strategic plan formulated by the boss. The boss will definitely arrange a meeting. In this matter, I can't stop it. "

The voice on the other end revealed a hint of uneasiness and anxiety, saying, "No chance at all? Mr. Xiang, you should still have a way."

Mr. Xiang said in a deep voice: "Mr. Gao, the Federation and I are attaching great importance to the negotiations. No problems are allowed to occur during this period. I can't make any promises to you. I can only say that if I see an opportunity, I will give you an explanation."

The voice on the other side said, "Mr. Xiang, I hope you will try your best. I will fulfill my promise to you."

After five days of travel by train, the delegation crossed the Central Ridge Mountains, the famous Caron Plain and the Vendolin Hills, and finally entered El-Calvinia, the capital of the Federation and one of the five continents of the Federation.

It is located in the northeast of the east coast, close to the vast and magnificent Cuikelan Great Lake, and has a very advantageous geographical location.

The vast surface area of Lake Triklan occupies almost one-third of the northern part of El-Kalvinia Asia. The lakeshore stretches for thousands of kilometers, and the port cities surrounding the lake form a busy waterway, railroad and air transport network.

This is not only the most central area on the East Coast, but is also undoubtedly the core area of the entire Federation.

As Chen Chuan walked over, he paid special attention to the surrounding situation.

The Federation has vast land, but the population is far less than that of the East Continent. The land outside the central city of the West Coast often gives people a wild and chaotic feeling. But the East Coast is completely different. Along the way, it can be said to be regular and orderly. The closer you get to the East Coast, the stronger this feeling becomes.

In fact, as the big bomb approaches, changes in the world are intensifying. In recent decades, there has been no peace in various parts of the world. This is true for Dashun and the Federation. Both have encountered various situations to a greater or lesser extent.

The central city, due to its special status, is the focus of attention of all countries in the world. The territories outside the central city, those remote areas or marginal areas, have always been regarded as secondary and basically neglected. If Dashun's Skyline Plan can be successfully implemented, then in addition to the major central cities, these scattered and backward areas can also be integrated, which will strengthen the overall strength of the country in all aspects, and the improvement it brings is immeasurable.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the train entered the central city of Lunovilla, located on the shore of the Great Lakes, and slowly stopped at the station.

Chen Chuan and members of the visiting team got out of the car, passed the security checkpoint, and came to the classical-style station hall. Through the tall glass corridor wall, they could see the shadows of skyscrapers in the distance.

This central city is one of the few cities that allows fighters to enter directly. Not only that, the most powerful fighters in the entire federation are likely to be here.

Including the fighter from Dongxuan Temple who had attacked him before, who was suspected to be from Yuanren Company, and the real body of Mr. Krosar, should also be here.

On the contrary, there is no feeling of the huge spiritual overlooking of Vi Asia here, but since such a power exists even in Vi Asia, it is definitely impossible that it does not exist here.

At this time, he noticed a bronze sculpture fountain in the middle of the hall. The main body of the sculpture was a mermaid rushing out of the water.

There were five children around her, two of them were held up with their hands, one was leaning on her neck, one was hugging her waist tightly, and one was pulling her hair.

The whole sculpture is very vivid and natural, full of movement. The expressions of the mermaid and the five people are portrayed very delicately. The craftsman's superb skills have carved out the splashing water droplets when she breaks out of the water. Standing there, it feels as if you will get wet.

There is a plaque embedded in the base of the fountain, engraved with the origin of the sculpture.

In fact, he also knew about this story. According to the story, a group of devout believers from Jono came here under the guidance of God. They reclaimed the land, cut down trees, hunted prey, and worked hard to create a better life for themselves. But what troubled them was that they were always attacked by ugly natives.

One day, five young children were accidentally lost. Just when people were at a loss as to what to do, the mermaid appeared in the lake, rescued the five children who were kidnapped by the natives for sacrifice, and sent them back to their families.

This action touched all the residents. In order to commemorate her kindness, people later built this sculpture here, which even became a symbol of the city for a time.

Chen Chuan stared at the sculpture. Regardless of whether this story was true or not, he had heard of another version with a different ending.

After the child was sent back, the greedy villagers tried to capture the mermaid, but the latter had such strong fighting power that many villagers were injured and it was a clergyman who shot her to death.

It should be noted that even at that time, the mermaid did not kill any of the villagers.

As for the five children, they were considered to be tainted with heresy, so they were sent to the church for a purification ceremony. In the end, it seemed that none of them survived to adulthood.

He didn't know whether this was the truth or not, but after coming here, there was one thing he was sure of.

For the sake of curiosity and other purposes, the colonists have been hunting mermaids, causing the creatures that coexisted with the primitive people for tens of thousands of years to disappear in just a hundred years. So when the locals were preparing to create the statue, they could no longer find mermaids. As a result, the sculptors could only look for their appearance in pictures.

Fortunately, the mermaid that was killed was made into a specimen and displayed in the local museum. The museum donated it to the sculptor, who then incorporated it into the statue.

And he could feel that the corpse was indeed inside.

While he was looking at it, there was a sound of wings flapping, and a large white pigeon from Yingzhou flew over. It landed on the top of the mermaid sculpture, and gently tapped it, making a tapping sound, and then said:

"Look, the smooth and hard exterior, the dry and corrupt interior, the modified bloody past, isn't it a bit like this city and this country today?"

Chen Chuan glanced at it and said, "Then you have to ask the people here."

The bird said, "Ah, the masses are usually ignorant and need powerful people to guide them." It raised its chest, as if it suddenly had a lofty sense of mission, "I can..."

Then, suddenly, it flapped its wings and flew up into the air, making a resounding sound like the beginning of a poem.
"Then go on, go on, I'm here..."

Just when it was halfway through its words, suddenly, gunshots rang out all around it. The bird kept shaking in the sky, and puffs of blood and exploded feathers fell from it.

Finally, it fell in front of him with a snap, and said twitchingly: "Ah, my brilliant life has ended again. It seems that this city is still so unwelcoming to me..."

Chen Chuan ignored it and looked at the mermaid statue again. There were traces of blood flowing on the originally golden hair. It was not known whether it was intentional or unintentional, but it gradually spread to the bodies of the five child statues.

At this moment, the sounds of hurried footsteps came from both sides and surrounded him.
