implication [end times]

"In a word, the rules are not only a cage that restricts people's freedom, but also a wall that protects people from danger." He Rongsheng took a big bite off a piece of crispy fried chicken cutlet, and suddenly expressed his opinion in a puzzled way, "Going into the city or going out of the city The key is that people must first know what they want more before they can decide their attitude towards the rules.”

"If it's an essay summary question for the city entrance exam, you can get a high score." Zhan Yiye commented, "But you overlooked one point. In real life, most people don't have the power to make decisions, they can only be decided."

Ran Yu was immersed in the rich and delicious six dishes and one soup, and he had no free mouth to speak.

It was almost two o'clock when Ran Yu walked out of Yan Ai's office, and before he walked out of the hospital gate, he ran into He Rongsheng and Zhan Yiye.They came to bring Ran Yu back to the Security Bureau as required. Since Ran Yu was a public official and a witness to the incident last night, he needed to cooperate with the investigation and write a detailed report.

At that time, Ran Yu was so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back. He had hardly eaten since last night, and only drank half a bottle of water in the office, his stomach was protesting softly.He Rongsheng and Zhan Yiye didn't eat either. They wanted to take Ran Yu to the cafeteria, but Lou Yue stopped them.

"I've ordered a meal, let's eat together." Lou Yue said.

Team Ten's small conference room table became a makeshift dining table.The food was delivered to An Ning, the signature dish of Sanhuan Hotel.

Due to good security measures and quick closing, the magnificent Third Ring Hotel suffered little loss from the riot and was still open at noon today.The ones that were really hit hard were some small shops, all the goods were smashed, and I don't know if they can continue to open in the future.

When the delicious food was served, Ran Yu had already forgotten the strangle marks on his wrist, and sincerely thought that the new leader was really a good person.

The good leader, Lou Yue, took Xiang Anxiang to the meeting in a hurry without eating a few mouthfuls, leaving the others to eat slowly.Before leaving, Lou Yue also asked Ran Yu to write the report and wait for him, and go together at night.

After Lou Yue and Xiang Anping left, He Rongsheng and Zhan Yiye, who were tense, relaxed and asked Ran Yu repeatedly.Ran Yu described everything that happened from last night to now, and He Rongsheng was filled with emotion.

After the serious topic ended, Zhan Yiye poked the bottom of the bowl a few times with the tip of his chopsticks, hesitated for a while before saying, "Do you feel that Lou Yue's attitude towards Ran Yu is not quite right?"

Ran Yu shook his head, He Rongsheng nodded.

At this moment, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and a lazy and frivolous voice came: "Why is it so fragrant? Let's see who is stealing and not calling me."

Hearing this voice, Zhan Yiye's face fell on the spot.

Li Shuxiu walked in unsteadily, and stretched his neck to look at the table: "Yo, you guys eat together, it's so rich. It just so happens that I didn't eat, so let's go together."

As he said, he was about to sit next to Zhan Yiye. Before he could sit down, Zhan Yiye put a box of toothpicks on the stool.

Just as Li Shuxiu was about to remove the toothpick, he saw Zhan Yiye's eyes slashing, so he changed his seat with his butt pouted embarrassingly, and sat next to Ran Yu.

He was still restless after sitting down, and kept looking into Zhan Yiye's bowl: "Sister Ye, didn't our parents bring you food today?"

Zhan Yiye didn't want to talk to him at all, and continued to talk to Ran Yu: "No matter what, if Lou Yue dares to bully you, or if you are unhappy in the inspection team, you can tell us, and I will see how to get you back as soon as possible .”

He Rongsheng took over the conversation and asked, "By the way, have you contacted your pen pal? I remember last time you said that he lived on the same road as the inspector team?"

"No," Ran Yu said after taking the last bite of rice from the bowl, "I haven't reported it officially yet, and I haven't received a reply."

Li Shuxiu tried to join the chat: "Are you talking about Fengxinzi Road? I know it well. My family lives nearby. Who do you want to talk to? Let me help you."

Li Shuxiu's family lived in the first ring, and he was forced into the third ring security station by his deputy city lord's father to practice gold-plated.This kid usually never hides his family background, and even shows off everywhere. He usually tries his best to be lazy, playful, and promiscuous. This is an open secret in the work unit.It is also because of this that he and Lou Yue have known each other since childhood, and he unilaterally thinks that he has a good relationship with Lou Yue.

"No, thank you, I'll contact him myself." Ran Yu said.

Zhan Yiye couldn't help laughing: "Why do I think you are so obedient when you talk? It's the same when you do things. You just do what others say. You don't look like a person who can fight at all."

"Oh, because it's not necessary." Ran Yu recalled his life since entering the city, and it was true.But he doesn't care about these.As long as it's something that doesn't endanger his survival, he doesn't care much.As for what other people think about what they say and do, it basically has nothing to do with him, and he doesn't even care.

He Rongsheng nodded and smiled and said, "Sister Ye, you will know later that Ran Yu is usually in standby power saving mode, and he can only fully turn on the power when it comes to food, weapons and combat. So it is easy to deceive... very Easy to communicate."

Zhan Yiye couldn't help but reminded: "Then if you want to see your pen pal in the future, you should pay more attention, don't be fooled by bad guys."

"Pen pal?" Li Shuxiu caught a key word, but his brain couldn't comprehend a relationship that was too pure, and subconsciously thought it was a new type of play.So he came to his senses, poked Ran Yu with his elbow, and asked winkingly, "Do you mean the same thing when you say pen pals and gun pals?"

He Rongsheng was choked by a mouthful of soup, and coughed to death. He still didn't forget to warn Li Shuxiu: "Ahem, cough, don't cough and cough to ruin him..."

Ran Yu looked confused: "What is Buyou?"

Zhan Yiye picked up a big steamed bun and stuffed it viciously into Li Shuxiu's mouth, causing Li Shuxiu to roll his eyes and almost suffocate.Then she turned her head and smiled lovingly at Ran Yu: "It's nothing, just go and write the report after eating."

After eating and drinking enough, Ran Yu went to write the report, while Lou Yue was already sitting in the big conference room of the Security Bureau, continuing the previously suspended meeting.

The morning meeting lasted nearly three hours without any substantive progress.Director Wei of the General Security Bureau and Commander Albert of the City Defense Army both attended the meeting. Unlike in the morning, there were many more people from the Third Ring Branch of the Security Bureau and the City Defense Station.

These personnel are all direct subordinates of Director Wei and Commander Albert, so the theme of the morning meeting was "Find out the loopholes in the third ring defense and investigate potential safety hazards", but secretly they were shirking each other's responsibilities.

Commander Albert firmly believes that the division of functions since the establishment of the city has always been between the military and the police.This sudden mass riot is an internal problem, which was caused by the failure of the Security Bureau to do a good job in daily patrol work.

Director Wei said in a roundabout way that the Security Bureau did not have enough weapons and resources, and was unable to intervene in large-scale public events that were not within the scope of its duties.The nature of this incident should have reached at least the second security level. It was the imperfect early warning mechanism of the city defense army that delayed the best time for control, which caused the scale of the riot to expand to the point where it was almost uncontrollable.

Although the inspection team is also responsible for security affairs, its main task is to supervise the general direction of relevant departments and officials, and does not involve specific implementation.Therefore, Lou Yue just sat in a chair all morning, listening to the undercurrent of their words without saying a word, and blamed each other.

The cauldron was thrown until noon, but Lou Yue listened patiently, with his back straight, and even jotted down a few notes in his notebook from time to time.It was almost noon when he leaned his back on the back of the chair, even crossed his legs, and his sitting posture became relaxed.

Director Wei was the first to notice the changes in Lou Yue. He knew that Lou Yue usually walks, sits, and stands neatly. Only when he is in a bad mood or wants to play tricks on his stomach, he will appear relaxed.He knew this kind of thing because last year Lou Yue dismissed a senior official under him who was not good at work with this gesture.The official was suspected of forming a clique for personal gain, causing serious damage to public property, and was escorted into the interrogation room of the inspection team for an afternoon, before he disappeared.

Director Wei's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately changed the subject, suggesting to take a break at noon and continue in the afternoon.

The topic of the meeting resumed in the afternoon made Lou Yue sit up straight again.Director Wei heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this.At the same time, he was resentful in his heart. He has been an official for nearly 20 years, but he still has to look at the face of this young man in his early twenties. He can only say that he will be reincarnated.

"There are many doubts about this riot. First of all, the organization was very strict in the early stage. You can find blue robes and black masks with collective logos. There are also people distributing clothes and weapons, and there are special slogans. But in the later stage, their demands changed. It was very vague, it was just blindly creating chaos, and there was even a sense of rioting for the sake of rioting." Commander Albert said.

"Second, the gathering and disbanding are too|quick. Captain Lou and I estimated in advance that this set of capitulation strategies may be useful, but based on past experience, it can only divert 20%-35% of the people at most. But this time However, it has reached more than 90%. It can be seen that the beliefs of most participants are very unstable, and they participated entirely on impulse, lacking pre-brainwashing. This does not seem like what a premeditated organization should do.”

"Third, if the riots were caused by the large-scale infection of the virus mentioned by Professor Yan, their concepts were completely changed after the day after tomorrow, which is contrary to the second point, because they are too unstable to be successfully brainwashed Or change successful people. As for whether the virus will fail halfway, I took the time to discuss it with Professor Yan at noon, and the possibility is extremely low. Moreover, the concept transformation caused by this RNA virus is almost irreversible, and it can only prevent its spread in the body , cannot be reversed. If it is not because of the virus infection, it cannot explain their too rapid gathering and change of thinking. After all, I remember that the annual ideological and moral assessment scores of the residents of the third ring road are higher than the average of the main city, the public security is very good, the community The school’s educational publicity is also in place, and no abnormal signs have been found before.”

"In addition, if a small number of people are infected and most of the others just follow the crowd, it is also impossible to explain the motives behind the scenes. Because if they want to abolish a certain system or other unknown purposes, they have the ability to develop this virus , as long as the virus spreads quietly and on a large scale, there is no need to gather violence, but to attract attention, so that we can develop a vaccine as soon as possible. Isn't this a warning?"

Director Wei asked at the right time: "Is it possible that their purpose is to create chaos? This is just an illusion for us to see?"

Lou Yue was writing something in his notebook, when he heard that the nib of the pen paused, he raised his eyes and said: "That means, maybe this riot is just a smoke|fog bomb, and there are big moves behind it."

After the meeting, Lou Yue went to the hospital to find Yan Ai to learn more about the situation. During the period, the communicator kept ringing, and the city owner approached him, as did the person in charge of the isolation office of the examination park.By the time he finished his work and returned to the tenth team's office, it was already dark.He suddenly remembered that he had told Ran Yu to wait for him, but he wondered if Ran Yu forgot.

Ran Yu had just finished writing a long report, his mind was empty, and he sat on the small sofa and checked the typos with dull eyes.

When Lou Yue walked in, he saw Ran Yu's body being hollowed out.Poor to see, but kind of funny.Lou Yue held back his smile, walked up to him and said, "Let's go. I have arranged a new residence for you, and I will take you back to pack your things first."

"New residence?" Ran Yu asked, "My original..."

Before the words finished, Lou Yue's communicator rang.

Lou Yue said sorry, and sat on the sofa next to him to answer the phone.

"Well, okay, got it, let's continue tomorrow."

After hanging up the phone with a serious face, he said to Ran Yu: "The virus test results of the first batch of people came out today, do you want to know?"

"Are most of them infected?" Ran Yu guessed, "At least 70%?"

Lou Yue shook his head and repeated the report from the other end of the phone just now: "Among the 3257 people tested for the virus today, 134 were found to be infected, accounting for 4%."

Ran Yu was completely confused.Those people who participated in the riots were completely demented, doing things extreme and crazy, what else could it be if it wasn't because of a virus?

Lou Yue's expression remained unchanged, as if he had already guessed the result.

"Maybe there is no need for a virus," Lou Yue said, looking up at the passers-by and the collapsed bricks and wooden beams outside the window, "It is enough to make people stupid enough to fully integrate into and convince a certain group."
