Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 384 Photos
This is the fence street near Leprosy Lane in the lower city, and it is the last part of the lower city built by Yanan City.

When Zhalan Street was half completed that year, the construction team was suddenly informed that the fund bank used by the municipal government to build the corner building suddenly ran out of money for some reason.

The funds in the treasury come from the taxes of all the people. If this happens, it must be because the taxes are used elsewhere.

This sensational incident aroused widespread public outrage. Even in the era when the radio was not even accessible to the common people, it was widely known as being too bad.

Even though everyone is living frugally, they have not missed taxes. How can the treasury built up with tax money be gone?
When the common people looked at the newspaper and pointed at the municipal government, another big event that seemed normal, but actually aroused a wider range of public opinion broke out inexplicably——

The headliner of the Yanan City Opera House, the singer with the title of "Streamer Nightingale", turned out to be the mistress of a certain deputy mayor!

The public opinion of the public was led to criticize the deputy mayor overnight. Even if some rational voices taught everyone not to be distracted, it would not help——

Soon, people don't remember the empty coffers.

Most of the people have no memory, and the matter quickly disappeared completely.

The buildings on this part of Zhalan Street have not been completed. In fact, it is just an "empty shelf" without a roof. People who live here must use things like masonry tiles as windows or ceilings, so Prevent the whole room from getting wet when it rains.

In these days, after the boom in the market, people have a new alternative to windows - plastic, this cheap material is cheap and easy to use, the key is waterproof, and it is an excellent material for ceilings.

Now, Tom Reibert is standing next to the window covered with plastic and wood, and opened the door of the rusted steel patchwork in front of him.

The excitement quickly settled in his heart, because he saw not only his son Wolf outside the door, but also Nuomi Guo who lived in the apartment next door to his house, and two other students he didn't know.

He ushered them in, closed the door behind his back, looked at these students, his eyes were full of worry:
"Children, you shouldn't be here."

Wolfe looked at his father:

"But Dad, you don't even know what we're here for!"

Tom Reibert patted his head with a wry smile:
"You come to me now, besides inquiring about the workers, do you have any other purpose?"

He hesitated for a moment, and out of caution, he still asked:
"When you guys came...was anyone following you?"

He knew that there were people who had been looking for him, people from the [No. 13 Section] of the Empire, violent investigators called "Hyenas".

Hyenas are dangerous, even with children.

Tom Ribot's eyes inadvertently glanced at the school badge on their clothes, which was the symbol of the Holy Light, representing the protection of the Holy Light to them.

Fortunately, although the hyenas belonged to the emperor's forces, they still dare not touch the students of the church school when the hymn troupe is in full swing.

He is in such a dangerous position that he spotted a hyena when he ventured out for food yesterday evening.

Fortunately, the other party didn't notice him, otherwise today's conversation would not have happened.

"I'm sure no one followed."

Glutinous Rice Fruit replied in a positive tone.

She didn't know that on the way here, all those who followed them were stunned by the Messiah with small stones.

He looked at the four of them and said in a deep voice:

"Children, it's not that I don't want to tell you about this, but you can't help much. Once you know about it, it will affect you..."

The status of the choral group is detached, but the religious schools are not. As institutions jointly established by the choral group and the government, the religious schools are influenced by the government to a certain extent.

If this matter affects the future of his son and is included in the file, it may affect his son's future life, whether it is entering a higher school, finding a job or even getting married.

even……

It was hard to get into a missionary school, if you are expelled because of this...

Tom Reibert has felt guilty enough to his family, and he doesn't want to have any negative impact on his son because of his investigation.

It's enough for him to do it alone.

"Kids, you need to go back."

His firm and unquestionable attitude made everyone present realize that he was not joking and there was no room for negotiation.

Nuomi Guo was extremely helpless, and told him about the activities of the church school, hoping to gain his support.

But even if he knew about it, he still kept silent and his attitude was extremely tough.

Wolfe understood his father's temper best, and once his father showed this attitude, he would definitely not cooperate with them again.

Wolfe wanted to help his father, and at the same time, he wanted to help Nuomiguo complete the mission of the missionary school, but there was no good way to persuade his father for a while, and he sweated anxiously on his forehead in the cold corner building.

Glutinous rice fruit looked at Messiah helplessly.

Messiah understood her plea for help, so he turned his head and looked at Osmandis with indifferent eyes.

The helplessness on the one-eyed boy's face was mixed with a trace of panic, but within a second, he was defeated by such eyes.

'All right!All right!Who made you great! '

Osmandis looked helplessly at Tom Reibert.

The moment the two of them made eye contact, Tom Reibert froze.

The toughness and firmness on his face disappeared without a trace, leaving only a dull hysterical expression.

"Then, please start asking questions." Osmandis said in a very light tone.

Wolf saw the expression on his father's face suddenly changed, completely unaware that it was Osmandis who controlled him——

Wolfe has almost never been in contact with any supernatural power in his entire life trajectory, so that he can't think of it at all.

He only thought that his father knew Osmandis—he believed that it was the identity of Osmandis that shocked his father.

So, when he looked at Osmandis again, there was unconcealable panic in Wolff's eyes.

Glutinous Rice Fruit blurted out the questions he had prepared:

"Please describe the current situation of the downtown and industrial areas you have observed, as well as the countermeasures you have thought about, and tell them item by item."

Tom Reibert's eyes were always fixed on Osmandis's one eye, and his tone was quite flat:
"Unemployment in downtown has been creeping up these days because of three factors:
1 The harsh working environment of the factory has made some unbearable workers unemployed. Most of these workers have entered the blacklist jointly formulated by the factory owners. They have no hope of surviving in the city and can no longer return to the countryside—they have no land.

As a result, some of these people became gang members, some became thieves and robbers, and some became cultists——

Some cults took advantage of this opportunity to recruit followers with cheap instant food and brainwash them;
2 Just yesterday afternoon, the Adams family, who controlled the ingredients market, set abnormal prices for some ingredients on the market for some unknown purpose, causing the original market order to be disrupted, and the public felt To be fooled by the city, further leading to a crisis of confidence in the city council——

Such a crisis of confidence has not had much impact at this stage, but if it continues, it will definitely lead to more serious consequences;

3 The absolute support of the municipality for the factory owners has resulted in the workers having no right to negotiate at all. Once conflicts arise, there is a high probability that violent conflicts will brew.

In violent conflicts, workers are absolutely at a disadvantage. They have no violent weapons and are absolutely passive.

The previous massacre at a parts factory exemplified this and sent a potential message to other uninvolved workers: Resilience to work, or joblessness to the streets.

Once you want to bargain, you must face the threat of death.

This harsh environment is brewing a more terrible storm, and once the storm starts, it will definitely cause disasters worse than violent conflicts. "

Although Nuomi Guo was already mentally prepared, he didn't know that the situation in the lower city had become like this.

She must hurry up:
"What happened to the massacre at the parts factory?"

Tom Raibert replied:

"That was a vicious conflict that took place this Monday afternoon. The cause was that the three foremen of the spare parts tool factory wanted to discuss with the factory owner about a wage increase.

Negotiations went smoothly at first. Although they did not get shorter working hours, they got more wages—although it was only a verbal promise.

But things quickly changed—according to surviving workers, the factory owner turned his face when signing the agreement, accusing them of using violence to coerce him to sign, which was illegal.

They expressed their incomprehension at such inconsistency, and this incomprehension continued until an armed police officer from the industrial area entered the office and threw the three of them out—

They were fired, thrown out of the factory together with their toolboxes, and told that their three names were on the joint blacklist of the industrial zone, and they could only work in black workshops outside the industrial zone.

They protested and clashed with armed police officers in the industrial zone.

The other party shot, and the two fell in a pool of blood, only the Asian survived fortunately.

Half an hour later, the Asians entangled the workers who had been expelled from the factory and who were about to be expelled from the factory, took a hammer and surrounded the factory owner's office.

They didn't know what happened to the steam bus company. They thought that as long as they got a contract signed by the factory owner, the contract would be legally valid and they could continue to work well.

But this is not the case-soon, the follow-up armed police officers from the industrial zone arrived, and neither side backed down. Under the intense emotions that had been suppressed by the workers for a long time, the confrontation turned into a violent conflict, and the violent conflict continued. It quickly became a one-sided massacre. "

Tom Ribert says:
"I was lucky enough to capture the entire conflict as it happened, and those pictures are now in my camera."

Following the direction of his finger, Nuomi Guo saw the camera on the table.

"If these photos can be disseminated, they will be known by most people. I firmly believe that the big shots sitting in the Yharnam City Council will not all be unscrupulous politicians... Even if they are, they must care about their votes next year ——The votes came from the citizens of Yanan City, if the citizens of Yanan City expressed a collective protest against this matter, they would definitely not sit idly by."
