Chapter 2
Behind the one hundred youngsters
............
............
Some place having the people lived in did not mean that it had the society, but it might be the habitation, that was the city. The biggest city of the East Forest Region was the capital of the West River state. In this city, besides those often visible drunk people, the most people were the businessmen doing the black market trades, and the dark characters in the shadow to watch the police alertly... The orphans.
The East Forest once was the wealthiest and most developed ore planet of the federal society. No matter in what civilization, the mining workers would take on more risks. Although the invention of the crystal mineral automatic entry-driving machine and the computer no-difference-leakage-cover control guaranteed the safety of mining to a great extent, but however, the complex ore veins changed in the internal of the planet, and those no way to predict through the calculation geological changes, still in these tens of thousands years, cost the lives of many miners, the children of these miners became the black sheep lingering over the city streets in the East Forest Region.
Without father or mother, the different life made these orphans to have different kind of mentality, the federal government fully burdened their living and learning costs, but no way to prevent these children playing truant every day. Not up to the legal drinking age, under the surveillance of the chip in the body, they couldn't drink to live the day through as the miner uncles, they couldn't engage in the black market trades neither. Although the government had the rationing food, but however living the life like the little pigs without the bright future, that couldn't completely consume the exuberant hormone in their bodies, so the violence, the imitating cool and competing for the territory, it all came subsequently...
The bastard orphans that the deputy director Paul said out in the gloomy tone referred to this group of people, this was a group of people who could let the governor's office and the police system very headache.
Although before they could evolve into gangs successfully, these young orphans still had many ways to go, the simple imitation also won't let them to have too much lethality, but orphan this sensitive identity, it really made people to have some difficulties. Especially after the minerals were exhausted gradually in the East Forest, this group of orphans basically were all formed because of the last mining disaster ten years ago, and the influence of that mining disaster brought to the East Forest Region...

"We want to watch Jane Sue!"
"Jane Sue!"
The sirens kept sounding, the responsible for the public security of the Bell Tower Street second police station of the West River state, after they received their deputy director's angry command, came to support with the fastest speed, they isolated the more than one hundred orphans on the center of the street.
But facing the holding shields and batons police in front, the dressed in black clothes youngsters of the Bell Tower Street didn't have any fear, the clamor was still going on, but those slogans written on the broken tarps were held up askew, perhaps these children felt tired?
The funniest thing was that youngest orphan seemed to shout the slogans tired too, he just kept repeating Jane Sue Jane Sue these two words, it seems that these two words had some sort of magic power, but he was kind of faint and weak...
"Shout it some seriously for me!" the leader of the orphans got nasty, he stared his that pair of clear eyes, clenched the ear of the little guy. When the police surrounded the Bell Tower Street, he then just felt a little fear, but... Since Sheilor had already said, today there were reporters there, that guy named Paul wouldn't dare to do anything, and then he might not dare to do anything? When had Sheilor's judgments been wrong? Once he thought of that name, the leader of the orphans straightened his waist a bit and had his spirit stronger a bit, the expression on his face was getting some more grief and indignation; he shouted loudly at the camera behind the police blockade, "we want to watch the channel 23!"
One hundred petition youngsters got the grief and indignation at the same time, they protested against the federal government on the street, all this just was for watching TV, this was... What kind of ridiculous scene.
............
............
However, Paul Long didn't think that this was a farce; he also didn't think that this was what a ridiculous thing. Because after he heard the channel 23 and Jane Sue this name, he had already known that this group of wild kids was playing for real today.
When the governor's office had no way to withstand the cry and secret threat of the several directors of the West River television station, Paul Long knew that this day would come for sure. In fact, after the order of the governor’s office came to the police station, through the telecom safety regulations, found out an excuse to stop the receiving signal of the federal channel 23 in the whole West River state, the governor’s office and the police station related departments had already received more than one thousand protest letters.
The contents and the requirements of these protest letters were the same as what these orphans asked for today, they all wanted to watch the channel 23, they all wanted to watch that TV show which had been broadcasting for two months in the Capital Planet Circle, the most important thing was, that they all wanted to watch Jane Sue...
Paul Long had watched that TV show which named All Metal Torrent, he also knew how flapping the heart that as the colonel commander of the warship Jane Sue was. That delicate as picture cute little face, that sometimes disorderly and sometimes submissive light purple hair, that petite body in the standard gallant uniform, those when blinking eyes and siding head young expressions, were much like his own daughter, just only some more lovely than his own daughter...
Suddenly a chill shiver, Paul Long woke up from the absent-minded, he then noticed that the female reporter kept talking something to the camera by his side, the camera lens passed her shoulders and focused on those extremely righteous and angry orphans, the female reporter had the schadenfreude smile on the corners of her eyes.
The relationship between the news department and the production center had already been bad to this point? Paul Long had a depressed sigh in his mind, those chief executives of the West River TV station, in order to protect the ratings of their own television station, didn't hesitate to take such a huge price, to use this absurd reason, to stop the broadcast of the federal channel 23 temporarily, who thought of in the same television station, but under the management of the regional committee news department, would always want to stab them a sword from the back.
If you were not the East Forest people, you would not know what the TV meant for them, you would not know the federal channel 23 meant for them. As the previous sentence Paul Long commented viciously, the ignorant people's life, having the soap opera was good enough. The gradually died of cold and cheerlessness East Forest citizens, they had already been used to their own dull life, but that didn't stop them pursuing the good and fantasying the nice freedom from the television. And this kind of freedom for them, was the oil salt pepper vinegar and sauce, can't be missed.
Jane Sue... The always cold deputy director Paul suddenly had a warm smile on the corners of his mouth; even the orphans he disliked on the middle of the street also were not so abhorrent. But only in a flash, his smile was freeze-up.
These damned orphans today let his face damaged greatly, if this scene of today was really on the news, the contradiction between the news department and the production department, would certainly make to the governor's office or even the management committee, then would he be the scapegoat?
Paul Long narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes glided slowly on the faces of these stimulated crying out of the slogans orphans, as if he wanted to look for something-- how could these orphans know the visit journey that he would bring the reporters to here today? What they really want to make a noise of this for? Could it be said that they
just did this only for Jane Sue this name? Jane Sue for these orphans, it was like a fairy maiden on the distant astral, but it's not enough to support these orphans to have such a big courage.
The thing seemed somewhat interesting; he always felt that it's like somebody manipulating it all behind the scene. If there was really that man behind these orphans, surely didn't it mean that the man knew precisely the fight between the news department and the production department, and he could ensure today's disorder on the Bell Tower Street to get on the news?
Paul Long was vigilance up, his eyes fell on the orphans’ leader that reddened all over face, he knew that this sixteen years old wild kid was a malicious role, his name was Vigor, but Vigor won't dare to speak it to his face so overbearing.
Suddenly he had a move on his mind, he turned his head along Vigor's somewhat flashing eyes, and he looked at a certain shadow area of the Bell Tower Street.
But there was nothing at all.
