The large empty ground in front of the hotel had already been set up with a stage.
Many commoner voters who had come from afar were also walking around and chatting.
There were many people there, bustling and jostling shoulder to shoulder.
Xia Chujian stood by the window of her hotel room, hidden behind the curtains, watching the crowd. In her mind, she was thinking that if she set up a sniper rifle from her vantage point, it would be a perfect spot to snipe Teng Pingmao...
Of course, she was just thinking about it.
She couldn't just kill someone for no reason.
Xia Chujian took out a tube of Advanced Nutrient Solution from her backpack, opened it, and chugged it down.
After finishing it, she took a shower and changed her clothes.
Since she was mainly going to scout the area this time, she didn't go fully armed.
She wore an ordinary long-sleeved sweatshirt, with a nano-level Bulletproof Vest underneath, which made her look rather bulky, at least three sizes larger than her actual figure.
Then, she put on a very recognizable Black Three-Dimensional Mask and a Duckbill Cap, covering most of her face.
Xia Chujian hunched her back slightly and walked out of the hotel, arriving at the plaza outside.
She wanted to stand below the stage and see how Teng Pingmao performed.
It was almost eight o'clock in the evening.
Surrounded by members of his Campaign Team, Teng Pingmao leisurely arrived at the high platform that had been built for him.
Xia Chujian recalled the photos of Teng Pingmao that Zong Ruoan's Campaign Team had shown her and compared them in her mind.
Teng Pingmao himself was quite tall, estimated to be at least 1.9 meters, with broad shoulders and a wide back. He also had thick eyebrows and large eyes, giving him a square and upright appearance, making him look very sturdy.
He looked like a general in the military.
Now, he was no longer wearing a military uniform but a formal suit, with a bow tie at his neck, which restrained his ruggedness.
He gave people a sense of security.
Just standing on the stage like that, compared to Zong Ruoan, Teng Pingmao was of course more reliable to ordinary Voters...
Zong Ruoan was more handsome than a woman, but that could only attract a portion of women who liked to chase after celebrities.
For the vast majority of ordinary Commoners, Teng Pingmao was more pleasing to the eye.
Because this was an election for a lower house Councilor of the Senate, not a talent show to become a star.
Xia Chujian narrowed her eyes, watching Teng Pingmao stand in front of the podium and lightly cough into the high-quality microphone.
A magnetic voice quickly spread from the microphone to every corner below the stage.
Xia Chujian clicked her tongue, thinking that this Teng Pingmao did have some assets.
Campaign rallies required candidates to speak frequently, and having a good voice was even more of a bonus than looking good!
As the sky gradually darkened, the large lights in the area lit up one after another, illuminating the place as if it were daytime.
At exactly eight o'clock, Teng Pingmao's campaign rally officially began.
He stood tall and steady on the podium, raised his right arm towards the microphone, clenched his fist, and waved it, saying, "Good evening, everyone."
"I know you come from all directions, not only friends from Galuo City, but also friends from other cities, and even other planets."
"You have traveled thousands of miles, even several light-years, to see me. I am very touched and honored!"
"Glory Belongs to Us Commoners!"
As soon as he took the stage, he shouted the first slogan of the night: "Glory Belongs to Us Commoners."
The atmosphere was immediately ignited.
The people listening to his speech below the stage couldn't help but wave their arms along with him, shouting "Glory Belongs to Us Commoners!" Xia Chujian: Learned something.
If I want to stir up emotions and create an atmosphere in the future, I'll do it like this! She listened attentively, her eyes unblinking, learning Teng Pingmao's speech skills from every angle.
But after shouting the slogan, Teng Pingmao didn't speak again. Instead, he stood on the stage with a smile, gently waving his arm, directing everyone to shout the slogan.
Only after the atmosphere was sufficiently stirred up did he raise his hand and press down.
The shouts of the crowd quickly died down.
Xia Chujian raised her eyebrows, thinking that Teng Pingmao's rhythm was really well-controlled.
It seemed that he was indeed a commander in the military with a high position.
Because only commanders of this level need to do large-scale mobilization work frequently.
After Teng Pingmao waited for everyone to quiet down, he said again with a full voice: "We commoners have the largest population base in the Beichen Empire!"
"But the resources allocated to us are pitifully small compared to citizens and nobles!"
"Let's not talk about the nobles for the time being today, the number of their families is fixed, passed down from ten thousand years ago!"
"But why should citizens squeeze our living space?"
"Why are citizens treated so much better than us commoners?!"
"Citizens are promoted from commoners, citizens are commoners!"
"So the first thing I want to advocate is equal treatment for citizens and commoners!"
A burst of cheers immediately rang out in the plaza below the stage.
Xia Chujian watched intently, thinking, didn't you just say that citizens are commoners?
Don't you claim to represent the interests of commoners?
Then why squeeze the living space of citizens, but not dare to target the nobles' cake? Xia Chujian slandered in her heart.
In fact, it wasn't just her, other commoners also thought so.
But no one pierced this window paper.
Xia Chujian heard the person next to her muttering the same thing in a low voice, her eyes rolled, and she shouted below: "Why not talk about the nobles today?!"
"Can't the nobles be mentioned?!"
Xia Chujian took the lead, and someone immediately shouted: "Yes! Why not talk about the nobles?! Not just citizens! Also nobles!"
"The nobles are already rich and powerful enough, why should they be superior in law?!"
Not many people shouted like this, and the voice was not loud, so not many people heard it.
Xia Chujian felt that more people needed to hear their shouts.
Her Face Mask came with a voice changing system, so her current voice was not her original clear and calm voice, but a mature woman's unique high-pitched voice, a proper soprano.
So, a high-pitched female voice shouted from below the stage: "Abolish the nobles' criminal immunity against commoners!"
"Commoners' lives are also lives!"
"Nobles must pay for killing commoners!"
Xia Chujian waved her arms and shouted rhythmically again and again.
Soon, the emotions of the people around her were stirred up by her excited slogans, and they also raised their arms and roared again and again.
"Abolish the nobles' criminal immunity against commoners!"
"Commoners' lives are also lives!"
"Nobles must pay for killing commoners!"
After Xia Chujian mobilized this group of people, she immediately left this place with a flexible figure, came to another direction, and started shouting slogans there as well.
Soon, the crowd on the other side was also incited by her.
After the two groups of people merged, the sound of shouting slogans became louder and louder, and more and more orderly.
Gradually, the entire crowd in the plaza in front of the hotel below the stage gathered together, loudly venting their dissatisfaction with citizens, nobles, and the unfairness of the entire society! At this time, Xia Chujian had already drilled into the unlit area of the plaza and quickly put on a pair of sunglasses.
These sunglasses were not ordinary sunglasses, but sunglasses with a built-in Far-Infrared Night Vision System and camera function.
This was one of the items in the backpack Meng Guanghui gave her, a standard configuration for Special Operations Personnel of the Special Security Bureau on field missions.
Xia Chujian stood hidden in the darkness, watching Teng Pingmao on the stage showing an anxious expression.
He held the microphone and said loudly: "Everyone, don't be anxious!"
"Our rights as commoners must be fought for step by step!"
"The rights of the nobles have historical reasons!"
"We should have clear goals!"
Xia Chujian watched with a smile, then suddenly shouted loudly, "Teng Pingmao is a hypocrite!"
"You talk about the commoners, but you're just a lackey of the nobles!"
"You're a mole sent by the nobles to disrupt the commoners!"
After Xia Chujian said this, she watched as many voters began to shout "Teng Pingmao is a hypocrite" along with her, and then she left the plaza with peace of mind and returned to her hotel.
She had been moving in the shadows, but she also knew that the other side probably had a far-infrared night vision system, which meant that her appearance would be captured. So she deliberately wore a very recognizable black mask.
And when she dressed, she deliberately distinguished herself from her original figure. Moreover, because she had been maintaining a hunched posture, she would also mislead the other party about her height.
She was now wearing a duckbill cap, large sunglasses, and a black mask, as if hiding her identity, but not completely.
The purpose was to mislead the other party's search direction.
When she returned to her hotel room and hung a "Resting, Do Not Disturb" sign on the door, Teng Pingmao's campaign team in the plaza in front had already had a serious conflict with the crowd below the plaza.
This scene, of course, would not be missed by the self-media of Galuo City, Kanli Star.
Almost instantly, "Teng Pingmao is a hypocrite" became a hot topic on the Star Network, trending on Hot Search.
And the events that happened at his campaign rally were also circulating in many videos on the Star Network.
Although Xia Chujian was the one who took the lead in shouting the slogan, she was not recorded because she kept changing positions in the crowd.
The ones who were recorded were another group of people, whom Xia Chujian had never even met.
Judging from the situation in the video, it was most likely the group of young people who shouted the loudest after she left.
These slogans, therefore, became attributed to them.
Xia Chujian didn't mind being "plagiarized." She didn't want to own the copyright to this sentence at all.
Her intention was just to provoke Teng Pingmao.
Because only by strongly stimulating him would he be likely to make a foolish move.
For example, Zong Ruoan, when he encountered an unprecedented opponent, he lost his composure and even came up with the idea of a "Contract Girlfriend," which was so low-grade.
Xia Chujian was looking forward to seeing how Teng Pingmao would respond.
She returned to her hotel room, turned off the lights, took off her sunglasses, mask, and duckbill cap, and took off her long-sleeved hoodie.
She released the Shao Siming Black Silver Mecha from the Other Shore Flower Necklace, and then pulled up the fully enclosed helmet, and the whole person had become a majestic Mecha Warrior.
This time, she did not use the three-meter-high Regular Mecha form, but the close-fitting mode that the Shao Siming Mecha itself had.
After putting on the fully enclosed helmet, she could communicate freely with Seven Lù.
Seven Lù's childish voice rang out, "Master was really energetic just now!"
Xia Chujian's disruption of Teng Pingmao's campaign rally with a few slogans was all understood by Seven Lù through the Other Shore Flower Necklace, the outer shell of the Mecha.
Xia Chujian said triumphantly, "Your master is still very capable of causing trouble!"
"Let's go track Teng Pingmao again and see what foolish move he will make in his rage!"
She currently didn't have any complete plan to deal with Teng Pingmao.
She just wanted to try to anger him and see what flaws he could reveal, and then concentrate on attacking his flaws.
Moreover, she only made a Small Test of Skills tonight, which cast a shadow over Teng Pingmao's tall image.
But she also knew that her entry point tonight was precisely what Zong Ruoan could not use.
Because Zong Ruoan himself was a noble, and from a top-notch noble family.
Even if Zong Ruoan's team knew that these words could deal with Teng Pingmao, they would never say them.
Because they couldn't undermine themselves.
Xia Chujian had no scruples.
As for whether it would have a negative impact on Zong Ruoan's campaign, Xia Chujian believed that Zong Ruoan's team should have a contingency plan for this situation.
If not, they deserved to lose.
Xia Chujian only guaranteed to help them solve Teng Pingmao, but did not guarantee that Zong Ruoan would definitely be elected.
Wearing the Shao Siming Black Silver Mecha, she entered stealth mode and jumped out of the window.
She lived on the ninth floor, which was very high for ordinary people, but a piece of cake for Gene Evolvers.
Xia Chujian was not a Gene Evolver, but she had the Shao Siming Black Silver Mecha, which was almost the same as a high-level Gene Evolver.
She jumped from the ninth floor of the hotel and quickly ran towards the Plaza again.
This time, her target was not the audience, but the podium on the stage.
Moreover, the Plaza was too chaotic now, and Xia Chujian didn't want to collide with people.
But on the podium of the Plaza, only Teng Pingmao and a few of his team members stood there alone.
The other members had gone down to perform security tasks for him.
Looking at the chaotic audience, Teng Pingmao's face was livid, his palms clenched into fists, and a deep "River" character was furrowed between his eyebrows.
His right hand was on his waist, as if he was trying his best to restrain himself, not to be impulsive, and not to do things that would make him regret.
But that action, in Xia Chujian's view, was too familiar.
That was an action of drawing a gun at any time!
This person has a gun on his waist...
Xia Chujian couldn't wait to let Seven Lù scan Teng Pingmao.
Of course, she restrained herself.
She couldn't be so impulsive.
She stood quietly behind Teng Pingmao's left, observing secretly.
At this time, Huo Yushen was also in the audience.
He watched Xia Chujian disrupt Teng Pingmao's campaign rally in the blink of an eye, and then disappeared without a trace, so he guessed that she must have gone back to the hotel to change clothes.
As long as he followed Teng Pingmao, he should be able to see Xia Chujian.
Thinking this way, Huo Yushen also quietly left the increasingly chaotic Plaza and returned to the hotel to change clothes.
Teng Pingmao tried twice more on the podium to shout to the people below to calm down, but the people below were already calling him "hypocrite" and "get off the stage"! After several attempts, Teng Pingmao gave up.
He made a gesture to his own people.
Then the security personnel who were trying to maintain order under the stage quickly retreated to the stage, surrounded Teng Pingmao, and walked down the stage step by step.
At this time, Xia Chujian could only fly into the air to avoid being bumped into by Teng Pingmao's security personnel.
So many people crowded around Teng Pingmao and walked off the podium, and the audience in the Plaza were immersed in group slogans, and they didn't even realize that the protagonist of the night had quietly left the stage.
Xia Chujian turned on the camera on the helmet of the Shao Siming Mecha, followed all the way, and filmed them leaving the Plaza and coming to the apron behind the hotel.
Teng Pingmao's Campaign Team also had their own Civilian Flying Vehicle.
His Civilian Flying Vehicle was relatively large.
It was not the kind of small Flying Vehicle that could only seat two or three people, or four or five people.
But a Flying Vehicle the size of a small apartment.
After Teng Pingmao went in, Xia Chujian also started the Shao Siming Black Silver Mecha and followed his flight unhurriedly.
No matter how fast Teng Pingmao's Flying Vehicle was, it couldn't be faster than the Shao Siming Black Silver Mecha.
What's more, in Galuo City, Flying Vehicles had speed limits.
Therefore, Xia Chujian easily followed their Flying Vehicle and came to the place where Teng Pingmao and his party were staying.
Xia Chujian was surprised to find that Teng Pingmao did not go to the hotel, but came to a villa in the suburbs of Galuo City.
It was a pity that it was far away from Su Buyan's villa, otherwise Xia Chujian would have wanted to see Ms. Chang Shengnan and the others.
Xia Chujian was lost in thought as she followed Teng Pingmao's Flying Vehicle, flying into the villa's landing pad.
Soon, Teng Pingmao got out of the Flying Vehicle and hurried towards the villa's front door.
Of his team members, only two security personnel followed him down. The others stayed behind, and after Teng Pingmao entered the villa, they flew away.
Xia Chujian, still invisible, walked towards the villa's front door with the two security personnel.
It was a three-story villa with a very simple and elegant design.
Once inside, Teng Pingmao plopped down on the sofa in the hall, yanked off his bow tie, and threw it on the floor.
A woman who looked very gentle and virtuous walked down the stairs, wearing a bathrobe.
She looked at Teng Pingmao and said affectionately, "Pingmao, what's wrong? Did something go wrong with today's speech?"
Xia Chujian had seen a photo of this woman from Hu Tu; she was Teng Pingmao's current girlfriend.
When she saw the photo, she thought she looked familiar.
Now that she saw her in person, she felt even more so.
Where had she seen someone like this before?
Teng Pingmao looked up at the woman, and the anger on his face vanished, the Wrathfulqi all over his body seemed to dissipate a lot.
He sat on the sofa, reached out to the woman, and said, "Hui Hui, come here."
A trace of unwillingness flashed in the woman's eyes, but she obediently walked over and snuggled up to him.
This is the second big chapter, including Moon Ticket for September 3300+.
There will be a new update at 0:05 tonight.
PS: Seeing some of you asking what would happen if the box that was modified into a Gun Box was opened for inspection, how should I put it? When going through security, they first do an electronic scan. If the electronic scan finds a problem, then they will ask to open the box for inspection. They won't just open the box for inspection whenever they see someone carrying a box.
In the interstellar era, they rely even more on electronic scanning technology. So as long as you can shield the electronic scan, there's no problem.
