When the Magic City becomes an isolated island, it is not only entrepreneurs who are sad, but also a large number of literati and artists.

Many important intellectuals, students and professors left the Demon City and went to Chongqing and Kunming, but some people stayed.

These people who stayed there were only three choices: either retreat, fight, or surrender to the Japanese.

Retirement means not doing the original work, not writing, or singing music.

For example, for example, the opera artist Mei Lanfang, who is a female actor, once had a beard and had not performed for several years!

Many people chose to fight. Literature and drama from the isolated island period raised the banner of patriotism and national integrity. A group of writers devoted themselves to the fiery anti-Japanese and national salvation activities. Faced with the invasion of foreign races, the mountains and rivers were broken, and they even shared the same hatred of the enemy, burst out passion, and fought with their pens. For example, Yu Ling, Ba Jin, Aying, Ke Ling, Wu Zuguang, Tang Tao, Ba Ren and others created a large number of literary works.

The Magic City Theater Troupe has performed new dramas in endlessly. For example, Yu Ling's "Night Demon City", "Long Night Walk", "Tears of Flowers" and "The Legend of the Ming Dynasty", Aying's "Blood Flowers" (Rebroken by the Southern Ming Dynasty), "Heroes of the South", Guo Moruo's "Tiger Talisman", Cao Yu's "Sunrise", "Thunderstorm", "Beijing People", "The True Story of Aq" adapted from Lu Xun, and Wu Zuguang's "Wen Tianxiang"...

Many traditional plays and new screenwriters were also performed on the Peking Opera stage, which had a considerable social impact, such as "Shi Kefa", "Wen Tianxiang", "The Resentment of the Late Ming Dynasty", "Four Jinshi", "The Dead Shu Jian", "Hong Chengchou", "Peach Blossom Fan", etc.

Those literati who are associated with counter-cooperation, such as Zhou Zuoren and Zhou Fuhai...

At that time, the Wang Puppet Government in Nanjing proposed the "Greater East Asian Renaissance", which was a bit like Mr. Qing's "New Life Movement". On the one hand, it emphasized the filial piety and loyalty of Chinese Confucianism, and on the other hand, it taught Japan to establish modernization. Japanese writer Shuiming Okawa at that time said that Chinese intellectuals were citizens of the world and abandoned the obligation to liberate Asia. Many writers gave up writing, and the writers wrote a group of beggars.

For those backbone literati, Qin Di borrowed the name of his sister Qin Yue and invested 2 million US dollars to the World Bookstore, setting up the "Demon City Literature Award", which selected three winners every year, the first place was 100,000 US dollars, the second place was 50,000 US dollars, and the third place was 20,000 US dollars.

At the same time, he also asked Yan Xue to come forward and injected 1 million US dollars into the Magic City Theater Troupe, nominally taking half of the troupe's shares, secretly investing frequently to help drama creators and performers to improve their living benefits.

Since the foundation building, Yan Xue has become more and more capable, more and more like the hostess of the Qin family, taking the initiative to take on the burden of corporate management. She has handled most of the affairs quietly, and only a very small number of major events were reported to Qin Di.

In this way, Qin Di has more time to meticulously craft the "Naxu Gourd".

This baby is halfway through, and its function has been greatly improved. The internal space has expanded to the size of more than a dozen football fields. This is still not yet completed. When it is finally completed, Qin Di will string all the small magic arrays and put a large unified magic array on it. By then, it will not be a simple container, but will become a high-level spiritual weapon, and the internal space will be expanded many times!

Theoretically, as Qin Di's skill improves, he can continuously temper magic weapons and gradually increase the level of the gourd. If one day the gourd becomes a Tongtian Spirit Treasure, he can install a mountain; if it becomes an immortal weapon, he can install the Kunlun Mountains.

Of course, it is not that easy to temper the immortal weapon. In addition to the emptiness stone and many magic arrays, various spiritual golds are also required. Qin Di still doesn't know whether he can find the spiritual golds he needs on the earth.

That afternoon, Yan Xue suddenly appeared in front of him, sat down quietly, and watched him carve the gourd.

Qin Di asked: "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

Yan Xue said softly: "Sir, Secretary Gu Sisi, submitted his resignation today."

“What’s the reason?”

"I asked her, but she refused to tell her, just said it was because of her personal reasons. She wanted to go to the United States and didn't know when she would come back."

Qin Di thought for a while and said, "Let her go. Tell her that I need a person who inspects the American industry. She is the best candidate at the moment. If she is willing to take time and inspect every six months, I am willing to provide an annual salary of $100,000."

Yan Xue said: "Okay, I'll go and ask her for advice. Another thing is that Gu Sisi recommended a secretary who will succeed her, named Li Limei. I had a little contact with her. She didn't see any problems on the outside and had a strong knowledge. But I quietly followed her and found that she had entered No. 76!"

Qin Di snorted coldly: "These ignorant spies actually hit me with their ideas! Do you ask Gu Sisi if she? Why did she recommend this person?"

Yan Xue said: "I asked. Gu Sisi said: One day she was walking on the road and saw a young woman wearing a cheongsam being beaten by a drunk white man. She asked the bodyguard to rescue the woman. After investigation, she learned that the woman's name was Li Limei. She was originally from Yanjing University and was deceived and married an American. The American was drunk and gambling, and wanted to sell her... Gu Sisi took her in, not only gave her money to buy clothes, but also let her live in her own home. Li Limei is smart, educated, and very active in doing things. She quickly won Gu Sisi's trust. Therefore, Gu Sisi recommended her to give it a try."

Qin Di said: "That old routine can only deceive the little girl."

"Sir, do you think how to deal with Li Limei?"

"I'll tell you the technique of searching the soul. You can take action and erase her ten years of memory!"

"Ah? What if I don't cast the spell properly?"

"Improper casting of spells will cause you to die on the spot! Such a spy number 76 should have died!"

Qin Di just didn't want to kill people, so he used the method of erasing his memory. If this woman was 23 years old, she would erase 10 years of memory and recover to 13 years old, and perhaps she could be a good person!

He knew that there was a group of female spies on the 76th. After being trained by the Japanese, they specifically seduced people with beauty. In this way, they framed many people from the Military Control Commission, including progressive people who moved closer to the Great Red Party.

One of the spies was named "Niomebo", who had one quarter of Russian ancestry. At the age of 17, his father was deceived in the business world, committed suicide, and his family was lost. Under the influence of his mother, Niomebo entered Changsan Hall on Fuzhou Road. Niomebo was born with beautiful beauty, not only had the oriental beauty, but also had the plump figure of Western women. In addition, he was talented and went to college. He learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting in Changsan Hall, and soon became a socialite in Shanghai.

After the Japanese invaders occupied the demon capital, Niu Meibo was attracted by the Mei agency Changying Satsuaki and developed into a Japanese spy. He was also sent to Japan for one year of training on shooting, explosion, fighting, and disguise. He was ordered by the Yingzuo to seduce Ding Mo Village, urging him to establish the notorious Wang Puppet No. 76 secret service in the demon capital. Niu Meibo himself became the main general of No. 76.

As a Japanese and puppet spy, Niu Meibo participated in the assassination of Mao Liying, chairman of the Southwest Professional Women's Club, and arrested Wang Tianmu, the webmaster of the Military Intelligence Commission.

After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Niu Meibo was accepted by Dai Li and appointed as a colonel spy in the Second Department of the Defense Department of the National Government.

On the eve of the liberation of the Demon Capital in 1949, Niu Meibo lurked down and continued to direct the underground secret service organization of the Bureau of Secrets to slaughter intelligence in the Demon Capital and carry out sabotage activities. Not only did he command the explosion of the Demon Capital power plant, but he also planned to assassinate the mayor, Mr. Chen.

In 1950, Niu Meibo was arrested in the Demon Capital and detained in Tilanqiao Prison. In April 1955, the People's Court sentenced Niu Meibo to death for traitors and other crimes, and was taken to the execution ground to perform a firing execution.

If she had been erased for 10 years of memory, she would not have been a powerful agent. It might be a good thing for both the country and herself.
