Chapter 17 The History of Paloser (Part 1)
Although he has the memory of his original identity, the original "Song Shi" was just an orphan who was born in an orphanage and worked illegally in a factory. There are many things that he has no access to the inside story. , at the level of "hearsay".
The person in front of me.
Although he is most likely just an ordinary gray character, since he has been to Thousand Star City, he will not be less knowledgeable than the original "Song Shi".
I need an underground weapons dealer and ask about the situation in Palother in the past few years?
——It’s bad, it’s really someone from outside.
Hearing this, the man in the felt hat couldn't help but curse in his heart.
But soon, he adjusted his mood and said:
"I think about it, what should I call it?"
"Say it first."
"Well Tom."
The man in the felt hat spit out an insincere name.
"That's quite a coincidence, my name is Jack."
Song Shi smiled.
"Okay, okay, Jack, let me think about what to say."
The man in the felt hat, or Tom, considered his words and began to speak.
Paloser is a medium-sized city within the territory of [Enterprise Alliance] with a permanent population of two million. It is currently controlled by the giant enterprise [Emerald Pharmaceutical]. Most of the city is dependent on the industrial chain of Emerald Pharmaceutical. .
Of course, the "coalition government" is the largest in name, but everyone knows that Paloser's coalition government is just a tool of Jade Pharmaceuticals.
In other words, the "coalition government" of the entire corporate alliance is just a tool for the whims of those giants who are like gods.
Then, there are several major events that have happened in Palother over the years——
Thirteen years ago, a big explosion occurred in the original industrial zone. More than 1,500 people were killed or injured on the spot. 50% of the equipment was damaged and failed. At the same time, a large amount of industrial materials leaked, causing large-scale chemical pollution.
After the explosion, a large number of companies in the industrial zone declared bankruptcy and disintegrated. Hundreds of thousands of people lost their jobs on the spot. Due to chemical pollution, injuries from the explosion and lack of money, a large number of them could not buy medicine and had to wait. Waiting to die at home.
At this extremely critical moment, under the leadership of the coalition government, Emerald Pharmaceuticals urgently acquired some of the assets of bankrupt companies, and at the same time provided technical support to blockade and clean up industrial areas to avoid secondary explosions and chemical pollution. diffusion.
After that, companies led by Jade Pharmaceuticals established the [Rota District], which is now commonly known as the "New Industrial Zone".
They built a large number of factories in Rota District, providing a large number of high-quality jobs and allowing more than 300,000 unemployed people to take up jobs.
At the same time, they used their advanced medical technology and experience to provide medical assistance to the victims in the old industrial area. To this day, the city museum still preserves the Paloser Daily News of that year, with the headlines of the mayor and the then-Jade Pharmaceuticals resident. The group photo of the general manager of the Palower branch brought tears to the eyes of countless people.
This is the famous [Big Explosion in the Old Industrial Area] event in Palower that happened thirteen years ago.
To this day, this incident still has a profound impact. "Ha, but some people say that the whole "old industrial zone explosion" is just a conspiracy of the companies."
"Because the old industrial zone was established in the late Seven-Earth War, From the current perspective, most of the equipment inside is outdated and outdated. Moreover, it is said that there were problems with the original design and planning of the industrial zone. Coupled with the illegal expansion over the years and the complex terrain, it is too difficult to upgrade and transform the entire area. , the cost is too high.”
"So the coalition government and Jade Pharmaceutical have long wanted to ban the industrial zone and build a new industrial zone. After all, it has been 70 years since the Seven-Earth War ended, and the industries in the entire industrial zone have long been no longer in line with the needs of Jade Pharmaceutical's industrial chain. They are considered a huge inferior asset."
"But they directly dismantle the factory and set up a new industrial zone."
"They neither want to pay the severance pay of the original workers, nor do they want to bear the responsibility for the abandoned ones. The cost of equipment storage and processing, and the asset audit of the industrial zone are very troublesome. It has been a mess over the years. I guess there are various taxes and the like.”
“In short, it’s a mess. Without stopping, a group of companies led by Jade Pharmaceuticals secretly transferred high-net-worth assets in the industrial zone in advance, and then used a big explosion to wash away everything in the industrial zone——"
"Because of the big explosion Due to the impact of the epidemic, a large number of companies went bankrupt and reorganized, and related employee contracts and debt issues became a pile of waste paper. At the same time, due to secondary explosions and chemical pollution, the government directly blocked the old industrial areas, turning the original "maintenance" into a simple " Blockade", the cost has not been reduced at all."
"Faced with the price volatility caused by the big explosion, these employees who suddenly lost their jobs and had no severance pay were forced to become a large number of cheap labor in the new industrial zone in order to survive, and could only accept a harsh contract."
"Of course, the nominal sealing is for cleaning, but it has been more than ten years, and the place is still sealed."
Tom shrugged and gestured: "But these They are all rumors, my friend, you know, everyone loves conspiracy theories, everyone likes to give a behind-the-scenes color to something, but who knows whether it is true or false? "
When saying these words, Tom watched the other party's reaction calmly, hoping to see more clues.
[Consensus] is a spiritual path that "goes deep into the spiritual world". The most common stereotypes are the ability to read minds, control thoughts, and tamper with memories.
As the first level [Consensus], he certainly cannot achieve this level, but one of the psychic skills he currently masters is indeed related to these.
——Psychic skills·[Character traits reserve].
To put it simply, this is the ability to record "character traits". When the holder meets people with different personalities, he will continuously record the revealed characteristics of this type of personality based on what he observes.
The more people you have seen with different personalities, the thicker the record reserve will be. In turn, the accuracy of inferring other people's personalities will be higher, just like "big data analysis".
Although the voice tone and expression changes may not be credible under the "anonymous service", this psychic skill can still play a certain role to a greater or lesser extent.
——Through the conversation and other content, slowly analyze the outsider's character and even stance.
Under Tom's gaze, Song Shi finally spoke.
"So, do you want me to say, 'One day, with a knife in my hand, I can kill all the corporate dogs in the world', or, 'Those people who died were too weak and deserved to die'? Or, 'None of this has to do with me. It’s not like I killed the person?”
“You really want to see a person clearly?”
Song Chi smiled half-heartedly and tapped the table with his index finger: “You have this thing on you? The "resonance" flavor of the stock is so strong that it almost writes the words "I am a wild consensus psyker" on my face——"
"——Leave the test less."
The next moment, Song Shi's tone suddenly turned cold: "You just need to describe it now."
