Bulwark of Light

Chapter 149 Freedom Auditorium
Two days later.

A sunny afternoon.

Dadu.

Freedom Hall.

The light and smooth symphony echoes above the circular vault, like snow-white clouds flowing slowly on the blue dome.

In this era, it is not easy to hear the offline performance of the band... But the Liberty Auditorium is an exception. It is funded by the parliament and has raised many "people with lofty ideals" who love classical music.

It may be easier to understand it in another way. In fact, it is the taxpayers who undertake the cultural treasures left over from this old era.

Just like a library, most people ignore spiritual culture from the bottom of their hearts, as long as they have it, a book is placed on the shelf, and it doesn't matter whether you read it or not.

It is enough for the people of Dadu to know that the Freedom Hall exists.

Even if you come here to enjoy a performance, the ticket price is not expensive, which is probably equivalent to going out for a fast meal.

But it's clear... In this day and age, most people would rather eat fast food than waste time munching on spiritual food.

"Today is a special day."

Tsukashi Xing Yun squatted on the last row of seats in the auditorium. His posture was very weird. He looked like a ball hiding himself in the shadows. He turned his head and smiled at the boy: "You know what it is?" day?"

"Don't know. But I guess..."

Gu Shen spoke lightly.

"Today is very likely to be the day when you will be caught by your enemies and shot in the head."

He and Zuka Oni sat not far away, separated by three or four chairs. They looked like two people who had nothing to do with each other, but in fact the auditorium was quite empty, and there were basically no people sitting in the last row.

Those who are really willing to appreciate the music sit in the front row... There are a lot of empty seats there, which are the best seats for immersive performances.

"As the person in charge of the 'New World Project', you are wanted jointly by the big shots in Nagano. There are countless people lining up outside to try to kill you. You should know that... the safest thing is to hide underground." Gu Shen frowned and said, "At this moment, how dare you come out to listen to the concert?"

Tsukashi smiled nonchalantly.

He stretched out his fingers and rubbed them together, and asked, "Even if you are a real lonely ghost, you should have your own spiritual pursuit, right? What happened when you came out to listen to the concert... Do you know what this song is?"

"I'm ignorant." Gu Shen shook his head again.

Listening to symphonies was too noble a hobby for him.

Gu Shen has always been honest and self-aware.

He knows that he is not an elegant person, but he will not despise and cast aside elegant things because of this... He tried to understand the "symphony" and "concert", but it is a pity that he was shut down by God since he was born. A certain window, purely an idiot who doesn't understand music theory, can only vaguely hear some emotions flowing in the tune.

That's it.

"Haydn's Symphony No. 94." Tsuka Oni said softly, "I like this piece."

"..."

Gu Shen rubbed the space between his brows, making sure that he heard correctly.

He stroked his train of thought, and then slowly asked: "Are you serious... Tomorrow is the day to nominate candidates for parliamentarians. You invited me here to invite me to listen to this symphony, and then tell me this one." The name of the track?"

"Yes, not all." Tsuka Oni smiled and said, "It's not me who invites you, but taxpayers who invite you. The citizens of Dadu paid for the construction of the Freedom Auditorium, and they support this band."

"Okay. No kidding."

Seeing Gu Shen's expression, Zhong Gui gradually became serious.

He whispered: "As you said... Tomorrow is the day for the nomination of candidate councilors. I must ask you out to meet. The occasion is not important, because no matter where you are, you can't escape Cui Zhongzhong's eyes."

Gu Shen looked calm.

He wore a pair of glasses, and the three-dimensional structure diagram of the Freedom Auditorium appeared in front of him. Chu Ling transmitted the auditorium's data in real time, and he knew all the monitoring and personnel changes.

Not far behind him, there are three cameras covering the rear of the auditorium without any blind spots.

"About... my retreat."

Xing Yun smiled and said, "It's no secret that I want to run away. It's not a secret just like big shots are used to 'killing donkeys'. Once the proposal of candidate councilors is passed, there will be almost no surprises when Lu Nanzhi is elected. , In my opinion... the Awakening Act has reached the final step. And my use value is about to reach its end. Once the bill is passed, the New World Project Team can be disbanded. I think Zhao Xilai is very happy to hand over the 'Takagami' to Nagano In the hands of those old things in the city."

"Squeezing out the last trace of my value is a fee for protecting freedom during this period." He sighed softly: "It is very likely that this will be the last concert I will listen to."

"Don't pretend to be sad, this set is useless to me." Gu Shen said lightly: "The encounter between us was purely accidental, and the New World Project has been established for several years, I don't believe you have no follow-up means... If you don't When you meet me, don’t you mean you’re going to just get caught and wait to die obediently?”

Tsuka Oni looked at the young man beside him in surprise.

This kid is smarter than I imagined... I thought he was young, but he was really not easy to fool around.

He smiled shyly, "I heard that you are Zhou Jiren's 'closed disciple'."

Gu Shen remained silent.

"I want to apply for an 'amnesty order'." Tsukagui smiled and said frankly: "After thinking about it, there are too few people in Dongzhou who can do this... The Grand Adjudicator should be one of them. For Zhao Xilai and Nagano Castle As far as I am concerned, I have lost my own value, but to Zhou Jiren, I still have something I can use, and I can help him get re-elected."

Gu Shen remained silent.

"Even an outsider like me knows that Zhu Wang of the Tribunal has been coveting the position of Grand Adjudicator for a long time. In recent years, he has been launching a fierce attack on Zhou Jiren. In the future, the struggle within the Tribunal will not subside, but will only intensify. The Awakening Act Once it is promulgated, the adjudicator will face enormous manpower pressure, Zhu Wang and several other adjudicators with sufficient qualifications will jointly sign and request the establishment of an additional position of 'Grand Adjudicator'—"

The toka ghost spoke faster and faster, and finally stopped slowly, saying: "The lion will always grow old. No matter how powerful it is when it is young, once it grows old, its fate will always be very miserable. When the position of Grand Adjudicator is extra Opening, the towering tree in the past... Surrounded by wolves, it is inevitable to wither. I am not qualified to meet Mr. Tree, I can only make an appointment with you. I think these words...you will pass them on to him, right? "

"I'll pass it on, but I won't give you any promises."

Gu Shen said in a deep voice: "Before this concert is over, if you go back on your word, I can pretend that you haven't heard anything."

Tsukagui was startled.

His pupils contracted slightly, and he noticed two late figures in the distance of the venue.

One after the other.

The woman in front, wearing a white dress and a bowler hat, is very elegant.

Lu Nanzhi.

Beside Lu Nanzhi was another woman in a low-key black dress with a veil hanging down her face, so she couldn't see her real face clearly.

A few minutes ago, under Chu Ling's reminder, Gu Shen learned the news that two "big men" came to the Liberty Auditorium together——

Beside the lady... is another legendary woman with a high status in Nanwan.

Ye Ningqiu.
