Chapter 75. The Second Act 1 The Wave of the Times(2/2)

"In Londinium shrouded in haze, there is a voice calling you and me."

"The silhouette in the shadows is approaching, it's coming, it's coming, it's coming!"

The second act, the wave of the times.





Zhou Jinru opened his eyes. He was sitting in a moving city bus. He was wearing a thick black long windbreaker. His hands wearing black leather gloves were holding a cane across his knees. The cane was placed on the cushion.

There was a deep crease in the newspaper underneath.

"According to Yuanshan's reminder, the second act took place two years after the first act. I was the valet of the Yinhui family two years ago. Am I still the same now?"

He immediately checked his identity. It was the same as the end of the first act, Mist Hunter (valet), and nothing had changed.

"There is still a slight difference."

Zhou Jinru touched the gun bag under his arm, which contained his revolver and a handful of bullets. There was no such thing in the plot two years ago.

After touching the revolver in his arms, his heart calmed down a little, and he casually took out the newspaper under his cane and started to read it.

"Special report! Twenty factories in Londinium closed down in one day! The economic cold wave is coming?!"

"Mr. Mayor's speech! The stock market fluctuations are just technical corrections. Please don't worry too much and don't panic!"

After turning over two pages, the most conspicuous thing is nothing more than some topics with bold and bold titles. It is obvious that the newspaper intends to stir up people's emotions in order to achieve the purpose of selling the newspaper. As for whether anyone really cares about these, the media never cares.

Zhou Jinru closed his eyes and took stock in his mind: "Origin Stone Industry, which is obviously booming, shut down twenty factories in one day. The so-called technical correction is just a rhetoric used to cut off households, and what can be seen in newspapers

The mayor’s words indicate that the stock market decline is what happened in the past two days, causing panic in the market and selling a large number of stocks. What is the reason? It can’t be some financial tycoon coming to eat meat, right?”

After turning two more pages, a tidbit of tofu news appeared in his field of vision:

"The Red Stage is officially opened! Only you can't imagine it, but we can't do it! Do you want to experience the ultimate comfort? Do you want to know what it feels like to go to heaven? Then come to the Red Stage!"

Well, this isn't where he wants to be.

Zhou Jinru closed the newspaper. Most of the content discussed the recent setback in the financial market. Apart from that, there were very few other topics mentioned. There was no need to continue reading.

Suddenly a figure walked past him and stood in front of the rear door, waiting to get off.

She was wearing a long gray cloth skirt, ordinary trousers that were too ordinary to distinguish, and a pair of black leather boots. She was the type that would disappear if she was thrown into the crowd.

She was wearing a light blue scarf and was quite tall. Even the shaking of the city bus could not shake her figure. When the door opened, the woman got off and left.

"I didn't admit it wrong. Even though her clothes were really ordinary, I still remember her face. Oh, what a big change. If I didn't have emotional perception, I should have become an ordinary citizen who knew nothing about the car.

.”

She is the heroine of this sitcom, Adela!

Zhou Jinru did not hesitate, stood up and got off the car in a hurry, saw Adela walking into the nearest theater, bought a ticket, and the performance was about to begin.

He quickly followed and took out his wallet from his coat pocket: "A ticket, thank you."

Holding the stamped movie coupon in his hand, Zhou Jinru had mixed feelings in his heart. He was actually watching a movie in a sitcom, which felt like a drama within a drama.

I just don’t know where that Miss Adela is.

At the end of the first act, she was arrested and taken to the police station for theft, and the person who came to the rescue was Father Albert of the Quiet Church.

Zhou Jinru pushed open the theater door and found that only the front row seats were occupied by the audience, leaving a large area of ​​empty seats in the back.

It seems that the economy is in recession and citizens are not interested in going to theaters to watch movies.

His eyes scanned the few spectators in the front row, and his heart skipped a beat because he didn't notice Adela walking in front.

"Where have you gone?"

Since the movie was about to start, the Mist Hunter had to sit down first, thinking that the second act had just begun, and it didn't matter if he lost track of it. He was not particularly anxious to get into the main plot.
Chapter completed!
