Chapter 1182: Boarding the Boat to See the Scenery

When the black flames sensed the changes above, they shot upwards and collided with the fist, but after a brief stalemate, they suddenly dispersed.

The fist lost its resistance and continued to fall, and the true appearance of the object below was revealed.

There were vehicles and pedestrians moving on the street, and this punch had already accumulated enough power. With one blow, it was enough to smash the street, along with the people and objects on it.

Chen Chuan sat in the car with calm eyes. As the platinum-colored light descended, it illuminated the area in front of him and his surroundings. Because they acted too quickly, both the people sitting in the car and the people walking outside maintained their previous expressions.

Just before the fist was about to land, suddenly, as if light smoke dissipated, both the light and the big hand disappeared.

The surrounding scenery and lights reappeared, and the convoy was still moving forward normally. No one noticed anything unusual, as if everything that happened at that moment had been taken away.

He thought about it and realized that the man who had just appeared was undoubtedly a fighter with a divine appearance, and it was very likely that he had reached the level of Dongxuanguan.

His arrival was not accompanied by any physical possession, but the presence of a spiritual body. What we just saw was actually a scene simulated by his spirit. At least at that moment, it was no different from the real thing.

This person appeared here at this time, which should be related to the matter of the fighting gym. He might have come here to demonstrate and warn him.

The Strategic Affairs Department?

Even the throne fighters have been dispatched. It seems that they are very determined to take down the Feishen Fighting Gym, at least on the surface.

After returning to the base, he met with Captain Xie and told him what had happened.

After learning about the process and listening to him talk about what happened on the way, Captain Xie thought for a moment and said, "Based on my experience dealing with the Federation, the Strategic Affairs Department is bluffing and testing us to see how determined we are. If we really give in, they will press on."

Chen Chuanshuo said: "Captain Xie, do you have any suggestions?"

Head of the group Xie said: "Director Chen asked the people in the fighting gym to fight back, which is a good move. If they want to make a big deal out of it, then we will make a big deal out of it. If they want to incite public opinion, then we don't need to do anything, the federal government will try to eliminate the impact.

They may think that we value the negotiations and dare not make a big noise at this time, so they use this to control us, but in fact, it was the Federal Executive Government who invited us this time.

They take this negotiation more seriously than we do. As the invited party, we don't need to worry too much.

Moreover, the Minister of Strategic Affairs was appointed by the current Executive Government. This should be the action of some people within the Strategic Affairs Department. They cannot mobilize all the forces of the Department, so even if they really want to confront us, we don’t have to worry. "

Chen Chuan pondered for a moment. Since this was done by some people within the Department of Strategic Affairs, perhaps it was also intended to test the negotiation content of the Executive Yuan.

But it had nothing to do with him.

He only faced the enemy in front of him, and there was no point in thinking about other things.

Head Xie said, "Director Chen, I'm going to meet with several congressmen from the West Coast in the next few days. This is your first time in the federal capital. You haven't been to many places, right? This is also a city with no restrictions on the movement of fighters. Why not take advantage of your free time to go around and visit."

Chen Chuan nodded. Now that he was in the federal capital, there were some famous attractions that he had to visit.

After saying goodbye to Captain Xie, he went back to rest.

The next day, Chen Chuan, Gui Zihan and their escort team set off by car and arrived at the Yidu River Wharf in less than ten minutes.

The Yidu River connects to the Cuiklan Great Inland Lake and, through artificial canals, links important areas and many famous attractions in the federal capital.

Their sightseeing yacht this time was a luxury yacht that could accommodate up to forty passengers.

As a relaxing sightseeing trip, the overall atmosphere was not as tense and serious as before. The team members no longer appeared as guards, but joined the team as tourists. In addition, they were accompanied by several guards assigned to them by the First Visit.

This time they had already informed the capital in advance, and if it weren't for special circumstances, no blind people would interfere with them.

The first visiting group was introduced to a guide who was familiar with the federal capital.

This is a man wearing a top hat and a beige windbreaker. His lips are slightly pale and he is a little unkempt. He is wearing a popular patterned tie and has a reassuring smile on his face. He puts his hat on his chest and says in a respectful tone, "My name is Samuel Ashe, and I will be responsible for introducing the scenery to you today.

I have lived in the capital for 28 years. I have escaped from the gunpoint of a drug dealer, successfully outrun a cargo anti-smuggling ship, saved a suicidal girl from the strong wind on the top floor, and almost became the main dish at a cannibal feast in an abandoned church.

I know every corner and alley of the federal capital. I will reveal the deepest soul of this city and its little-known secrets to you bit by bit. I hope you will be satisfied. "

As soon as he spoke, he gave people the impression of being experienced. Regardless of whether what he said was true or false, it aroused everyone's interest. Chen Chuan and the rest of the team members boarded the boat and sat down on the open top floor.

The yacht sailed along the river. After more than ten minutes, Ash pointed to a long bridge across the river in the distance and said, "Look, you two, that's the Thousand Lights Bridge, also known as the Archangel Bridge. It's the first famous attraction we see."

This is a pedestrian bridge across the main river, with hundreds of lights of various shapes adorning both sides of the bridge.

Everyone listened to his introduction. Each of the lamps was handmade using traditional techniques. Most of them were made of glass and ceramics, a small number were made of bronze sculptures, and some were even made of rare biological materials. The last type all had a pair of small and cute wings.

Yuan Qiyuan took a look and said, "I've heard of this bridge. It's said that these little creatures with wings can fly, but I don't see them flying."

Ash smiled slightly and said, "They are usually dormant. If someone can step on different scales and combine them into a melody, they will fly."

As the yacht got closer, everyone could see a little angel with white wings hanging upside down under the bridge. But for some reason, this scene always seemed a little weird. It didn't feel holy, but rather eerie.

Yuan Qiyuan asked curiously: "Who built this bridge?"

Ash said: "This was built with donations from a wealthy couple. In the past, there was no bridge here, so residents had to take a ferry every time they crossed the river. The wealthy businessman and his lover lived on both sides of the river, so it was very inconvenient for them to travel back and forth every time they had a date.

The rich businessman was also a musician. He composed many songs and made different large reflective boards according to the notes. Whenever he missed his lover, he would raise the board and shine it across the river, and the musicians on the other side would play the songs. In this way, even though they were far apart, they could still express their love through music.

Everyone listened attentively.

"Later, when we heard about the bridge construction, the wealthy businessman generously donated money. In order to commemorate this past, we listened to the architect's advice and boldly adopted the most advanced technology at the time to create a musical scale corridor.

Every step of pedestrians walking in the corridor will trigger the scale and produce melodious music. The bridge was built 50 years ago and was later expanded and repaired, and amplification equipment was added. It has long been a place for countless couples to yearn for romance and encounters.

Ah, on the day it was completed, the rich businessman’s lover even composed a poem on the spot…”

As he was talking, a red-bellied tit suddenly flew over and landed on the bow of the yacht. It shouted, "Oh, my beloved, you are my dream lover. You are as bright as a veil and as gentle as your body. My heart is as clear as lake water, but it is rippled because of you..."

Ash looked at it and didn't seem surprised at all that a bird could speak. Instead, he said, "Sir, that's not what the poem says."

The red-bellied tit covered his chest and said, "What does it matter? We are in the same mood at the moment."

"boom!"

A gunshot rang out and a big hole suddenly appeared in its chest. Then it fell straight into the lake. A guard on the boat put away his pistol and saluted Chen Chuan.

Chen Chuan nodded slightly. He had said before that if he met this man again, he would just shoot him directly, because otherwise this relaxing journey would soon be ruined by the arresting officers who heard the news.

He looked at Ash and said, "Mr. Ash, please continue your introduction."

As a West Coaster living on the East Coast, Ash was very adaptable to this kind of scene. He bowed, smiled slightly, and said, "As you wish."

Passing under the Thousand Lanterns Bridge, he pointed to a tall limestone building not far along the river. Looking from the boat, one could clearly see double spiral patterns carved on the outer wall.

“Please allow me to introduce you to the Cathedral of St. Flor, the first church in the federal capital. It was very small when it was first built, and has since undergone several expansions. It has now become an irreplaceable symbol of the city.

At night, the lights shine on the river and the shadows of the bridge complement each other, which is particularly spectacular and charming. There are also regular concerts and fireworks displays inside the church. This is also the favorite place for foreign tourists to visit and make them linger. "

When someone heard this, they couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Is this a church?"

Ash said: "To be exact, it is an old church. We believe in Protestantism, and it has been converted now."

Chen Chuan knew that the Protestant religion of the Federation emerged at the end of the old era. It did not worship a certain god, but a symbol, a concept, because only in this way could it sever its ties with certain existences in the opposite world.

He thought for a moment and asked, "Mr. Ash, the abandoned church where the cannibal feast was held that you just mentioned..." He looked at the slightly hideous spiral carving opposite, "Is it here?"
