Start with a rent-collecting magical girl

Chapter 120 The Disappearing Employee

Liao Baiyu took a rough look at the competition schedule.

It is said to be a competition, but in fact it is more of a performance. Except for a few contestants who participate in individual names, most of the hot air balloons and pilots are from the organizers.

The main purpose of this celebration is actually to promote the new entertainment project of "hot air balloon tourism". If it is successfully held, it will greatly increase the popularity and bring "air tourism" into people's horizons.

Because of this, Liao Baiyu looked at the flight path of the hot air balloon on the day of the competition. It passed through at least six districts in City X, including many densely populated popular areas, such as super malls, shopping malls, parks, etc.

In other words, on the 21st, in City X, which has a registered population of 30 million, even if only one-tenth of the citizens looked up at the sky, there were still 3 million people.

They easily saw those beautiful hot air balloons flying leisurely in the sky, colorful and decorated with various graffiti.

if.

The Nightmare Organization can really do it and present that kind of "eye" on the hot air balloon in some way.

So when these three million citizens look up.

The next moment, they will be completely contaminated by [Eye] and transformed into nightmare beasts.

Just like that, created out of thin air
  Millions of nightmare beasts?

Liao Baiyu felt his scalp numb.

Are this group of Nightmare Transformers all lunatics? What do they want to do? Do they want to completely destroy City X?

The nightmare beast disaster that he personally experienced before happened in Shadow Heart Park. The scale of the dimensional rift was A+. Thousands of nightmare beasts were teleported from the subspace. This has been rated as one of the worst disasters in City X in recent decades. The most serious disaster of the year.

In modern human history, the most severe S-class nightmare disaster was only on the order of 10,000, which was enough to destroy an island.

So what is a million level?
  SSS level disaster?
  It's best not to make such a joke.

Today is September 17th.

There is still a week left before this hot air balloon show.

At this time, it should be no problem to use my own energy to force the organizer to stop operations and stop the competition.

But Liao Baiyu calmed down and thought about it carefully, and finally did not choose to do this.

First, because all of the above are still in the speculative stage and there is no substantial evidence.

Second, if his conjecture is correct and the Nightmare Transformer organization is indeed holding back something big, then how could the opponent give up after so many years of preparation just because the game was stopped by him?

So the key is not the competition.

Or the nightmare organization.

Don't try to alert the enemy first, but use the hot air balloon race as a clue, follow the clues, investigate secretly, and first understand the whole plan of the other party before you can solve the problem from the core.

Thinking of Liao Baiyu here, he couldn't care less about being affectionate with the girl.

He immediately told Xu Jiajia the outline of the matter.

The girl frowned more and more as she listened, and soon realized the seriousness of the problem. The two people who followed immediately got up from the bed, went to the next room, and entered a tense "combat" state.

The so-called room next door was Liao Baiyu's original bedroom. After the relationship developed into a "little girlfriend", two bedrooms became a bit redundant, so Liao Baiyu renovated his room and turned it into a combat preparation room, which was used to store the girl's equipment and weapons, and process information and intelligence.

Several LCD screens were hung on the wall. Liao Baiyu sat on the supercomputer in the center, typing on the keyboard and using the network to screen information.

He first found the organizer of the hot-air balloon competition, screened the people behind it, and then used hacked internal documents to find multiple factories under the organizer that contracted the production of hot-air balloons.

By analyzing the data, Liao Baiyu quickly discovered anomalies. One factory had suddenly increased its purchase of various parts and metal raw materials in the past few days.

Judging from the reason for the other party's declaration, it was stated that a hot air balloon suddenly broke down and needed repairs, but the specific content of the failure was not stated. This may not seem like much at first glance, but if combined with my previous speculation, it becomes very suspicious. .

Liao Baiyu immediately locked the address of this factory, and without further ado, he decided to take Xu Jiajia with him tonight and set off immediately to investigate first.

After packing a series of auxiliary equipment, the black car set off from the apartment and sped away on the road late at night.

The location of the factory spans two districts.

Liao Baiyu drove for more than half an hour before finally arriving at the coordinates on the map.

He gradually slowed down and stopped the car outside the factory just like in the previous combat mode.

In the car, the magical girl who had completed her transformation and was wearing the "Ocean Princess" costume nodded to the boy, and flew into the factory after being fully armed. Liao Baiyu, as an "ordinary" non-combatant, was responsible for controlling the overall situation. , providing remote assistance to Xu Jiajia.

As soon as the girl flew into the factory, Liao Baiyu immediately noticed something was wrong.

Although it is late at night, it is too quiet here.

The "silence" here does not refer to people, but to electricity.

Xu Jiajia's Jia Fei Cat has already transmitted the surveyed structural diagram of the factory to herself. Now on Liao Baiyu's screen, there is not only the layout of the factory, but also the real-time power consumption broken down into each area. Condition.

However, in the "Employee Activity Center" area, there are two to three hundred workers living on the site, several apartment buildings, canteens and other mobile buildings. The current electricity consumption is almost zero. Even if everyone is sleeping, But some daily electrical appliances should not be shut down. This data is obviously abnormal.

Liao Baiyu frowned when he hacked into the system again and retrieved other data.

From the data, it can be seen that the electricity consumption of the entire activity center has dropped off a cliff since a few days ago, so it did not return to zero late at night, but almost returned to zero for several days.

This would only be possible unless it was a holiday and all the workers had gone home, but that is obviously not the case now.

"Jiajia, fly fifty meters to the left. Do you see that apartment building? Use your magic power to sense whether there is anyone in those rooms."

Liao Baiyu immediately gave instructions to Xu Jiajia.

After the girl obeyed the order, she flew to the employee activity center. Xu Jiajia was shocked when she sensed it with magic power.

"empty."

“Every dormitory is empty”

Xu Jiajia took a breath. No wonder she felt that the whole factory was eerie as soon as she flew in. It turned out that there were no workers here at all. Is it a ghost factory?
  It’s not a major holiday right now.

Not to mention, this factory has recently applied for a large amount of raw materials and parts to prepare for emergency repair of a hot air balloon.

So, where have all the employees here gone?
