"what did you say?"
The Blood Knight patiently repeated for the third time: "I abstain."
In just one breath, the arena was in chaos, with people shouting for ticket refunds, insulting the contestants, and some even stood up and threw the debris at hand into the venue.
Regarding the fact that the Blood Knight gave up the game, there was also a heated discussion on the intercity network. It was not until three minutes later that the news pushed by the Red Wine Newspaper completely ignited public opinion.
Linguang looked at the Blood Knight in disbelief. She wanted to ask why, weren't you the last champion? You gave up on the competition?
Another voice in the back of her mind prevented her from acting impulsively.
Obviously, the Blood Knight's withdrawal is closely related to the Business Federation. Apart from the board of directors, there is no one else who can manipulate the contestants.
But no one openly questioned it.
Those who are afraid of the Wuzhou Alliance dare not speak, and those who are not afraid of the Wuzhou Alliance do not want to speak.
…
At the same time, the infected quarantine area was in chaos. Angry infected people took to the streets to protest against Blood Knight's withdrawal, believing that he must have been treated unfairly.
But are infected people treated fairly?
Facing the almost crazy crowd, the Knights of the Red Pine Forest were helpless. They could not stop the behavior of their compatriots.
"Uncle Blood Knight must be controlled by the Business Federation. All infected knights have the same experience. We suffer much more in the arena than those normal knights."
Avona Wildmane's grievance provoked no response among her companions, and the other three remained silent.
The first person to speak was Ling Dong. General Dong said seriously: "This riot cannot continue. Once there is an impact, the enemy will have an excuse to use more brutal methods to suppress the infected."
"The Knights of the Red Pine Forest do not have enough prestige. In addition to the Bloodlight Knights, there are also conflicts among the infected."
Snapped.
Truth closed the book and smoothed the folds of the cotton skirt with her hands. She looked around at the infected knights present: "Start taking action now, Sona. You are the Flame Tail Knight and the leader of the Red Pine Forest Knights. , has a certain reputation among the infected, I need you to gather the infected who are protesting, and you cannot let them continue."
"Knight of the Far Fang, you don't need to show up. Find a commanding height and carefully observe the surroundings of the Flame Tail Knight. If anyone wants to attack her, please snipe immediately. Don't worry about casualties."
"Knight Ash Hao, please take a few people to the station in Rhode Island to provide fire support. If you are in doubt, you can ask Ling Dong."
Lin Dong was surprised: "Ask me? Why me, what about you?"
Avona Wildmane, who was not assigned to the task, even shouted: "Why do I have nothing to do?!"
Zhi reached out and pressed the monocle, and said calmly: "Aivona, follow me to find someone."
…
The blood knight's withdrawal not only made the infected angry, but also ordinary people gathered in front of the Commercial Federation Building to protest loudly. There has never been a knight competition as outrageous as this year, with contestants withdrawing one after another, and even The favorites all abstained, which is obviously unreasonable.
"You see, it's not surprising that something like this happened in the era of intercity networks. Everyone gave up thinking and was dominated by emotions."
Lan Ying stood by the window, holding a cigarette between his fingers, seemingly very satisfied with the scene in front of him.
Not far behind him was Susan, the director of the entertainment department. Wolper's expression was not normal. If Director Lanying hadn't called her here, she would still be bombarded with calls from other directors.
She knew nothing about the Blood Knight's withdrawal from the competition, and no one told her in advance.
Lan Ying said calmly: "Let's make good arrangements for the next game. In the final of this knight competition, the Brilliant Knight will face the Flawless Knight. It's a sister showdown. The audience will definitely like it."
"Director Lanying, can we go out and promote it now?"
Hearing Susan's suspicion, Lan Ying sneered: "What are you afraid of? The mouthpiece of the Grand Knights is in our hands. They can only watch what we want the audience to watch. If anyone is interested in variety shows, we will stuff them." Give him a lot of variety shows. If someone wants to explore the wilderness, we will promote a wilderness survival reality show. If someone wants to study military history, he can immediately get a museum coupon."
"Susan, you should take a longer view. Don't just focus on the small knights. There are still many areas in this land waiting for us to conquer!"
Wolper's whole body felt cold, as if a pair of big hands were pushing her into the abyss of eternal destruction.
She did not dare to speak and was not qualified to speak. No matter who the board members were, they could easily send her to the newspapers.
Lan Ying squinted his eyes, enjoying the stimulation brought by tobacco, and changed the topic: "Okay, Susan, go meet our spokesperson. His vacation is over and he will give a speech on the TV station tonight. , I don’t remember what his name is.”
Susan quickly said: "Markowitz, his name is Markowitz."
Lan Ying waved his hand and said nothing more.
…
Yelena stood by the window of her home and looked out through the gap in the curtains. She had never seen such a chaotic Grand Knights Territory. This prosperous mobile city came to a standstill because of a game.
"Why is this happening? No one comes out to stop the chaos?"
Caitlin's face was full of worry: "Unless the National Assembly gives an order, or the Business Federation speaks on TV, no one will come out to clean up the mess."
"They can just watch their city become a mess?"
Yelena's anger was not recognized by Caitlin, and her agent said softly: "If this chaos can bring benefits, there will be people who are willing to continue watching it. It is after four o'clock in the afternoon, and night is coming soon. Maybe it will be better after nightfall." a little."
We are about to enter winter now, and the temperature drops very quickly after dark, and the crowds will disperse by then.
Caitlin turned on the TV. She had a hunch that maybe the Business Federation would hold a speech meeting.
At this moment, someone knocked on the security door.
…
In a private apartment somewhere in the Grand Knight's Territory, someone was dreaming.
Perhaps it was because he slept for too long, or perhaps because the scene in his dream was too terrifying. The man lying on the bed was twisting his body.
Suddenly, all three alarm clocks placed by the bedside rang, but the dreamer did not wake up.
boom!
Outside the room door, there was a sound of hard hitting the door panel.
"Joel!"
No one responded.
"Joel!"
Second call.
The door lock broke and the door panel hit the wall. The person outside the door rushed in and grabbed the man with half-open eyes.
He slapped the latter hard and roared: "Are you awake?"
The dreamer with lace hair said in a trance: "They are all in a dream..."
"What's in the dream?!"
"Those who were replaced."
"What?!"
The second person who rushed in was a petite woman. She slapped Joel on the chest with her palm, and the turbulent air blew over everything in Le's room.
Immediately afterwards, Joel said a third sentence.
"They're going to open the door."
Door?
What door?
Joel woke up completely, sweating profusely, with a frightened look on his face, and his hands were scratching around his body as if there were many people around him.
"It's okay, at least it's okay now. Tell me, what did you see in your dream?"
"I……"
Joel opened his mouth, suddenly remembered something, rushed in front of the woman, and shouted: "Quick! Stop them! They will open the door to welcome their Lord in the finals!"
