Priceless Baby: 101 Bedside Stories

They walked around the city the entire morning. As the city was not big, it was not tiring to walk around it. There were places to rest all around, and people generally knew each other.

It was an ideal city.

No crime!

Electronic police were stationed around the city. The electronic police were different from the ones that directed traffic. They were real police that followed the laws. They were robot police units that held guns.

The only difference was that the guns of the robot police fired anesthetic bullets. If anyone committed a crime, the electronic police had no right to take things into their own matters. The matter would be passed over to the city management team.

Lady White showed them the functions of the electronic police. Shen Qianshu was impressed.

“Black Technology!”

Ye Ling asked, “Why don’t you guys share the results of your research to the other parts of the world?”

Lady White said, “To prevent competition. Humans are developing really rapidly. The resources on Earth are depleting rapidly while technology has improved. If any country has technology like this, it might begin to lose its mind. In the end, Earth would be deprived of resources, and there would be chaos. It is best to maintain a kind of balance. These people have always been hiding behind the world, and no one knows of them. If it weren’t for Yang Ping, few people would have even heard of Black Rose.”

Shen Qianshu said, “You can’t put all the blame on Yang Ping. The precious stone lands its innocent possessor in jail.”

“What do you mean?”

Shen Qianshu pondered and explained in a straightforward manner. “Anyone with a bit of ambition wants to get Black Rose. That is why even though the selection process for the leader is like a massacre, so many people flock to participate in it. That is why the Black Rose is so mysterious. No one knows where it is, and that is why so many spies try so hard to get into Black Rose just to lose their lives.”

Lady White said, “Yang Ping cannot order the Black Rose. The ones who listen to her are just agents from outside. That is different.”

Shen Qianshu took a deep breath. “I want to clear her of her name!”

“You are the leader. You call the shots!” Lady White said.

Shen Qianshu nodded. She was very satisfied. She had been through so much to become the leader. Of course, she had to enjoy her time being the leader. The first thing she wanted to do was to “operate” on Yang Ping. No matter what, she wants Yang Ping dead!

Lady White then told them some of the insider information about the Black Rose.

Black Rose was currently separated into three factions: the Original faction, the Technical faction, and the Radical faction.

The ones in the city were from the original faction and the technical faction.

The original faction was a bunch of old antiques. They wanted to handle issues in a fixed and orderly way. They want to conquer Black Rose, and they were very ambitious. There used to be 5 elders in the team, but one of them was kicked out of the elders team.

That elder was from the original faction. The original faction insisted that everything in the Black Rose had to go by a fixed system. They were a group of stubborn elders who took up about one-third of the population in the city.

The others belong to the technical team. The technical faction only had one thing in mind: they want to deal with technology. They insisted on Black Rose’s mission. They were humble and kept a low profile. They never exposed anything to the masses. They were a bunch of tech geeks.

Yet, these technical geeks had the most power.

There was also the radical team.

There was a part of the city where the population was not very big, and they were not very obvious. The most obvious one was the people dealing with external affairs. A classic example was Yang Ping. They were determined to obtain full power, and they wanted to turn the world of the Black Rose upside down. They also made the international reputation of the Black Rose go from bad to worse.

From this year onward, a group of people from the original faction were sent out of the city. The way of handling them was very simple and rather rude. They just sent them out and erased all their memories relating to the city.
