Void Jigsaw Puzzle

At 6 pm in Sifangping, Kunlun City, it would be a relatively busy and lively time period on any other day.

Although everyone's livelihood is not easy, they still have to close their shops when it's time to go home. People greet each other as the doors close, saying some futile blessings for the next day.

However, such hard days seem to be gone forever.

By this time, the square had been cleared, and the surrounding shops were all closed, but the central flat ground was still filled with people. Most of them were young men and women, with serious expressions, some even angry. But everyone could only stand where they were, because the fat black man who faced them had made an offer that they couldn't refuse.

Standing next to Sanjay were their mayor Hushun and several other government officials.

These young people are usually busy with various jobs and don’t have many opportunities to meet Mayor Hu. They didn’t expect that the first time they met him would be in such an occasion.

Hu Shun looked anxious, as if he was waiting for something.

Sanjay was a little calmer, but although he controlled his expression well, his hands were shaking slightly.

He could only shout at the crowd to divert his attention.

"Everyone! As I've been telling you since yesterday, the rewards for participating in this experiment are enormous, and not just financially. Your participation in the experiment is equivalent to demonstrating and proving the value of Kunlun City to the entire Helium Clan, and even the wider universe. This is why Mayor Hu is here in person for this mobilization meeting!"

Although Sanjay also had a lot of complaints in his heart, such as "Not long ago, they asked us to keep it strictly confidential and even signed a confidentiality agreement, but now they want the whole universe to know about it..."

But surface work still needs to be done.

While shouting polite words, he secretly looked at the time on his watch.

Several minutes had passed since the appointment with those people he couldn't afford to offend.

"They won't not come, will they?... They'll leave Mayor Hu and me here. What if these guys rebel? What if the Kunlun Front comes to cause trouble..."

Just as he was feeling anxious, he heard an angry shout behind him: "Fellow countrymen! Don't be fooled! Sanjay is a liar! Hushun is not worthy of being our mayor! They have all become agents and compradors of the cosmic race! They are going to push our Kunlun City into eternal ruin!"

Sanjay groaned inwardly, glanced at Hushun, who was also in a panic, and thought to himself, "What you fear is bound to come true!"

However, he put on a friendly smile the moment he turned his head. "Chairman Xie, why are you here? What you said just now was so hurtful. You don't make money, but you can't let others not make money. They all have families to support themselves, and every family has its own problems, don't you agree?"

Xie Cun, accompanied by a dozen or so Kunlun Front companions, dashed down the stairs and quickly reached Sanjay. He sneered, "Every family has its own problems, sir! Do you know the consequences of participating in this experiment? Those four people are now living a life worse than death!"

Sanjay was about to ask Xie Cun to speak more quietly, but he had already shouted out the crucial message, "Life is worse than death." Not only the entire square, but at least the people standing in the rows ahead heard it.

"What? Are the consequences of doing the experiment so serious?"

The murmurs in the crowd seemed to be contagious. At first they were as noisy as mosquitoes, but soon they became as loud as larks.
