    ?

    Air waves and shards of glass interrupted the melodious music and impassioned speeches.

    The alarm bell rang loudly, and the violent explosion triggered the fire protection device of the banquet hall, and the marble statues in the hall opened their mouths and sprayed water.  The well-dressed celebrities and gentlemen were drowned in the screams.

    "what happened?"

    "There is an attack!"

    "I really want to be hit by something."

    There were shouts and shouts in the hall, and the hall was in chaos, like boiling water under the lid of a pot.  It could explode at any time.

    "Everyone, calm down! Calm down!"

    Mayor Michael yells into the microphone.  But only halfway through the conversation, the microphone in front of him was hit by a piece of glass, and the broken parts and glass slag made him tremble.

    Through the cracks in the windows and doors with only shelves left, people can see the flames and the thick stream of steam flickering alternately.  There were short roars and gunshots, the harsh sound of steel rubbing against the ground, and screams from time to time.

    After a while, there was a sudden silence outside the door.

    Everyone looked at each other, and suddenly, two four-meter-high log doors were opened to the left and right, and the pungent gunpowder smoke and the smell of rubber products permeated the hall.  very long.

    Behind him was billowing black smoke, several security guards crying and rolling in a pool of blood, and mechanical wreckage everywhere.  It can be vaguely seen that it was originally a flying ball and a steam dog patrolling and guarding.

    ————————————————

    It didn't take long for the explosion of Cupid's tower to alert the steam security of almost the entire city.

    The steam police officers mobilized like clockwork, and steam cars from all over the city scrambled to gather at the Tower of Cupid.

    However, the traffic rails that usually run through the entire city, allowing trains to reach any corner within half an hour, are strangely damaged and cracked on a large scale.  There were even a few guard trains eager to support the Tower of Eros flying off the rails!  Make the situation even more confusing.

    "What exactly is going on?!"

    The chief inspector of the police station was slapping the windows of the train angrily.

    "Detective! The cause of the track failure has been found." A police officer ran over panting: "The murderer put a large number of homemade steam toy cars on the railroad junction in San Francisco in advance.  The principle is similar to the lead rivet-type safety valve of a train boiler. Its structure is very simple. Once the temperature is too high, the triathlon ball will catalyze the melting of the lead valve, and the flowing lead liquid will fill the gap of the angle iron rail, and the cooling volume will change.  It is so big that it will directly swell the rails."

    The police officer swallowed: "I have never seen this kind of unconstrained criminal method in my life. The murderer must have a high attainment in the structural design of the railway. At the same time, he is also very familiar with San Francisco's  The wear and tear of the rails, otherwise such a perfect bottom would not have been possible."

    The inspector yelled angrily: "Do I still want to give him a medal?! Tell all the police officers to support the Tower of Eros as quickly as possible. Use an airship, fast!"

    ———————————————

    The clockwork on more than a dozen pocket soldiers scrambled, and they rushed into the hall from behind Chang Yu.  An extremely dangerous and unstable atmosphere.

    A Pinkerton agent equipped with a steam soldier subconsciously shot. The bullet shattered the body of the pocket soldier, and the colorless steam leaked from it made a hissing sound.  After a sudden burst of flame, the individual soldiers immediately turned red and swelled, followed by a violent explosion.

    "Get down!"

    Robert was hoarse.

    The flames of the explosion swept across the hall like the long tongue of a hellhound.  Several big cracks were blown out of the beams and columns supporting the building, and the majestic Tower of Cupid continued to tremble.

    "Cease fire! Cease fire!"

    cried Robert.  Robert stared blankly at the figure under the gate, and asked tentatively, "Chang Yu, is that you?"

    Saint Yves, who was hiding in the crowd, also raised his head when he heard this.

    Chang Yu looked around for a week, took off the hood of the cloak, and the black hair and black eyes against the brass mask were particularly cold and hard.

    "Hello, Robert. I'm sorry to bother you."

    After hearing this, Robert lowered his head in shame.

    Chang Yu walked into the hall, and the lights illuminated his face.  He pointed to the cellist to one side.  "please continue."

    The performer swallowed and did not move.

    "forget about it."

    theChang Yu turned his face, the meaning in his eyes couldn't be explained clearly, and he didn't understand: "Maybe I want to waste a little precious time, gentlemen and ladies, please stand closer to each other, okay?"

    The guests attending the celebration banquet were driven by mechanical soldiers emerging from everywhere, and gathered in one place loosely.  This process took a full ten minutes, but the only ones who rushed to the scene were police officers from a few blocks nearby.

    The speed of police mobilization in San Francisco surprised even Li Yan, but at this moment, the disadvantages of relying too much on public power equipment for city security are fully exposed. Without the rail cars carrying firepower, many heavy steam weapons and  The elite troops could not arrive at the scene in time. In desperation, the police could only surround the Tower of Cupid, but they were cautious and did not launch an attack for a while.

    Everyone in the hall stared at Chang Yu in horror, and occasionally someone could hear someone sobbing and praying in a low voice.

    Chang Yu continued to walk forward, his eyes were bloodshot, and he couldn't tell if it was anger, fatigue, or the side effects of reading "The Book of Creation".

    "I have a few questions about Mayor Michael of San Francisco."

    After hearing this, Michael was not afraid, but took a few steps forward with a sullen face: "San Francisco will not compromise with any mob."

    Chang Yu was taken aback for a moment, followed by intense surprise and anger.

    "That's really good, Lord Mayor. I'm not interested in asking you half a question now."

    As soon as he finished speaking, an old revolver pistol protruded from the corner of his robe, and the black muzzle pointed directly at Michael.

    Old Michael pursed his lips and closed his eyes.

    Everyone held their breath.

    "please wait a while!"

    A clear voice came from the crowd. Dorothy, who was dressed up to attend the party, had disheveled hair at the moment. She panted heavily to dissuade Chang Yu: "My name is Dorothy, and I am a drama actor. I can probably guess why you  Will be here. I once donated US$10,000 to the Chinese General Association with my own money to improve their living environment. After the new law was promulgated, I hired professional lawyers for the people in Chinatown and supported them to use local laws to sue the Chinese Federation.  The city's inaction on the violence against the Chinese. This morning, Chinatown was on fire. I invited reporters from the Newspaper to join me in the evening party, and I was going to question the Health Bureau and the City Hall face to face. This is a letter I wrote to the reporter of the Newspaper. There is another  Zhang, it was me who prepared in advance to question the City Hall and the Health Bureau on suspicion of deliberately burning down Chinatown and causing a large number of Chinese deaths."

    Dorothy was just an actor, a few explosions were enough to scare his will, she breathed heavily: "I think I have the right to say something, right?"

    Chang Yu didn't speak, just stared at Dorothy coldly.

    "Chang, have you ever thought that violence and blood will only make those stubborn guys hate you more. In the past, they would say that Chinese people are thieves, patients with infectious diseases, greedy and cunning criminals, but you  After such a big commotion? They will say that the Chinese are terrorists, careerists, and bombers. Those rigid and bitter people will not shut up, but intensify. If you shoot Mayor Michael,  His possible crimes will go unnoticed and he will be remembered as a hero who defied violence. Whatever happened to you, I don't think that's what you want to see, right?"

    Chang Yu still stared at Dorothy coldly.

    "San Francisco has laws. No matter who he is, when he uses his power for personal gain and kills innocent people, he will definitely be punished. Someone will definitely point out his crime." Dorothy slowed down her tone: "You are not alone.  Hero, you have like-minded people, we will help you."

    She swallowed: "Put down the gun first, okay?"

    After four or five breaths passed, Chang Yu pulled the trigger, and the bullet passed through Michael's head, and the red and white blood plasma and broken bones showed a bursting arc.  The screaming continued for a long time.

    Dorothy sank down with a thud.

    "Ms. Dorothy, you interrupted my train of thought. Where did I go?" Chang Yu thought for a while: "Oh, yes."

    His voice became louder: "I have a few questions about Joc Lauderford, the commanding medical officer of the plague eradication operation this morning. The first one is, are you a hero who defies violence?" (Remember  Website URL: www.hlnovel.com
