Chapter 31 City Paralysis
From this day on, Henghai City became a pot of boiling water.
In the streets and alleys, there are spontaneously gathered demons everywhere. They are clustered in groups, blocking major traffic arteries and constantly rushing into industries controlled by high-level demons such as business banks and money shops, hindering the other party's normal business.
Some of the lower-level demons are very violent and keep throwing fireballs into the money shop, while some of the lower-level demons are very peaceful, blocking the door of the business and not allowing them to enter. Some of the lower-level demons are full of passion and give speeches to the demons everywhere, accusing the high-level demons of seizing the wealth of the people and making everyone suffer in a difficult situation.
Some demons are elusive. They sometimes run to the middle of the road and lie on their bodies. They sometimes rush to the yamen to beat drums and complain about their grievances. They sometimes run to the wall to paint paintings and draw pictures of the high-level demons.
More demons from the lower classes gathered in front of the government offices, either sitting quietly or running around and shouting in slogans, allowing the government to increase their salary, reduce house rent and meat prices, and ensure their fairness and freedom.
The social order of the demons in Henghai City was completely disrupted. Not to mention that governments at all levels could not operate normally, even the carriages and horses were paralyzed.
The demons at the bottom of the world are very organized and have obvious goals. They are all targeting institutions of the powerful, small shops on the street, and vendors in vegetable markets. However, none of them suffer disasters, and no demons on the road are surrounded and beaten up.
However, the yamen runners who patrol the streets were thrown away vegetables and even attacked by fireballs, money shops, and big business banks. They were terrible, and they were smoked all day long, and they had to close the doors.
In order to expand the influence and force the high-level powerful demons to agree with their own demands, the lower-level demons focused on arranging heavy troops on the streets and alleys to prevent all demons from working, and persuade them to join the team and hold strikes and marchs.
But the demons at the bottom of the action underestimated the tough attitude of other demons to stay out of the matter. The latter had to get wages if they wanted to live, support their families and eat. At first, both sides just argued, but gradually it turned into physical conflicts, and the number of injured continued to rise. Later, both sides gradually lost a large part of their rationality.
Henghai City is in chaos.
The chaos immediately attracted the attention of the high-level demons.
In the city lord's mansion, Henghai City lord Sviin and deputy city lord Jace summoned important officials to discuss matters urgently.
"What are these ants doing? Why do they suddenly go to the streets to cause trouble together?" The eagle-shaped demon Svein asked the commander of the patrol battalion, and it was the other party's responsibility to ensure the public security in Henghai City.
The commander of the patrol battalion was a dog-shaped demon. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said nervously: "The officials don't know, there was no sign of any sign in advance. These thieves came out of nowhere. Suddenly they went crazy and took to the streets to march and demonstrate. They were so full..."
Svein stared at the commander of the patrol battalion in cold eyes, "What are you doing for? What big things happened in the city, and you didn't know in advance? Do you, the commander of the patrol battalion, still want to do it?"
The commander of the patrol battalion immediately stood up and beat his chest to assure: "The official will mobilize the monks to disperse these ants and capture them! Don't worry, if you kill a group of these ants and capture a group of them, the rest of the world will naturally be afraid of the scattered stars, which is not worth worrying!"
Svein was about to nod his head and asked the commander of the patrol battalion to go and handle it quickly. The deputy city lord Jace immediately said: "No! The city lord is a great demon, this matter cannot be handled so simply and roughly! According to the situation reported by all parties, there are no less than 100,000 demons messing around on the streets! If the chaos is to be suppressed, how can the little power of the patrol battalion be enough?
"Although these guys are just ants, they have cultivation. Now they are just demonstrations and the destruction is not great. But once they are completely angered and they set fires everywhere, the entire Henghai City will be completely in chaos!
"If the superiors know about this, I'm afraid I will blame the city lord for its poor management. Then the great demon will be blamed!"
When Svein heard the four words "It's hard to refuse the blame".
This matter must not be a big deal, otherwise its official position will not be guaranteed.
It looked at Jace: "What do you think you should do?"
The energy-shaped demon Jace slowly said: "First of all, we must control the impact of this matter and never let the above know; secondly, we need to understand the requirements of those ants, find out why they gather to cause trouble, and see if they can properly solve this matter."
Svein nodded after hearing this.
At this moment, the door was knocked and a demon sent in the latest information.
After Svein saw it, his face suddenly turned like ink. It snorted coldly and handed the information to Jace.
The latter glanced at it, and his face changed drastically. The wisdom in his eyes disappeared, and there was only a scarlet and bloody anger. It gritted its teeth and said, "These bastards are crazy. They even opened their mouths. They wanted houses, meat and salary to increase. They thought Henghai City belonged to them?! Just a group of ants, do they really take themselves seriously?!"
In this information, Jace learned that the industries under its name had suffered heavy losses and that several commercial buildings were destroyed.
The business under its name is Henghai City's largest meat supplier. It will lose money if it reduces the price of meat! It will be damaged by its own interests, and Jace is already very angry, and other requirements of those demons at the bottom will also cause its interests to be fundamentally damaged!
How to endure this?
"The city lord, the great demon, these ants must be suppressed!" Jace made a vicious suggestion.
Svein was at this time unsure, "What should we do if those ants resist and cause the entire Henghai City to suffer great damage?"
"Although there are many demons, they are weak, just 100,000. So what if they are killed?! As long as you cover up well afterwards and have an explanation to the above, why bother with their lives?" Jace was as murderous as a tide.
Svein nodded, "That's it!"
......
"What? We sent out to cooperate with the patrol battalion to suppress those ants, most of the masters were killed before they could take action?! How could this be possible? Those ants had such strength?!" Half a day later, when they heard the report from their subordinates, Svey was speechless.
Those masters are subordinates of various powerful and high-level demons, most of them are masters in the Immortal Realm. The highest cultivation level is Taiyi Zhenxian, and the number is as many as hundreds. When cooperating with the patrol camp, it is definitely not something that the lower-level demons can fight against. "This is impossible! What's going on, tell me quickly!"
"We don't know what's going on. In short, the masters just went out and were still on the way, and suddenly their bodies exploded one after another. They died on the spot. We didn't see who was the sacred hand..." The subordinate answered tremblingly.
Svein's heartbeat suddenly became chaotic. He could accurately kill hundreds of immortal realms including Taiyi Zhenxian in a very short period of time. He must be the absolute strong man in the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm!
But the only one in the Daluo Golden Immortal in Henghai City is it and the deputy city lord Jace, and Yuzhe are all in the interstellar army's camp. For the city lord of Svein, the planetary city, it is no different from the heavenly soldiers and generals. Where is such a strong demon coming out now?
Moreover, his cultivation level has reached the level of Daluo Golden Immortal. In the world of demons, he is just a demon on the demon. He doesn’t want anything, so how can he get mixed up with the lower-level demons?
Svein felt that the situation was serious and quickly summoned the deputy city lord and other demons to come to the city lord's mansion to hold an emergency meeting.
When the demons arrived, the recent situation report was also reported: After learning that the City Lord's Mansion had sent hundreds of Immortal Realm masters to jointly try to suppress oneself, the 100,000 low-level demons on the street were angry and their behavior became even more unscrupulous.
They had already begun to rush into the government office and smashed it, instead of sitting quietly outside the office, shouting, and beating drums to make trouble.
The killing of hundreds of heavenly demon masters also allowed the lower-level demons to see their own strength. Many heavenly demons who were still waiting and watching or outside the matter have now joined the action team, and the situation is developing in a completely out of control!
"What should I do now?" Svein asked the demons, it was already a little panicked now.
"At present, Henghai City is no longer able to control the situation and can only ask for help from the interstellar army." Jace sighed.
"The interstellar army has never interfered in internal planetary affairs, and there is no horizontal communication channel between us. If we want to ask them to do it, we must report this matter to the superiors and ask the superiors to order the interstellar army." Svein was full of concerns and his face was gloomy, "In this way, I am afraid I will be blamed."
Jace said: "The city lord and the great demon only need to explain the reason to the above. The superior will understand the great demon. After all, this is not the fault of the great demon..."
Speaking of this, it did not continue, and it is difficult to explain the following words.
Svein did not agree to the proposal.
It does not want to lose its official position.
"Perhaps, these low-level ants are just angry for a moment. As long as we ignore them, they realize that doing so is useless and their emotions dissipate, and they will stop making trouble. After all, everyone still has to eat, go out to the streets all day and make trouble without working. Where can the spiritual coins fill their stomachs? These low-level ants don't have much savings..."
Svein decided to adopt a cold treatment method.
This method seems good.
However, the development of things did not happen as Sviin expected.
It underestimates the fact that the underlying demons are dissatisfied with the status quo.
Many demons at the bottom work during the day and go out to the streets when they are in trouble. This is even the case with some yamen runners.
They are very persistent.
And as time goes by, more and more demons from the bottom of the celestial class joined the action. The initial 100,000 people had reached one month later.
At this time, Henghai City was completely paralyzed.
Faced with the unsolvable reality, Svein sighed sadly, "It seems that I can't protect my official position anymore."
