Volume 1 The Beginning of the Calamity Chapter 10 The Dark Tide
A few days ago, the new president of the empire succeeded him.
"Did you really vote for me?" The man in the suit and leather shoes did not smile, he spent tens of millions to get more than half of the votes, but in the end, he voted for him less than a third.
"How dare I not do anything after receiving the money, I swear to God, that ticket is really for you. The civil official who had accepted the bribe was also a little anxious, so he used his hands and feet together and replied in a tone and frustration.
"Well, I know the guy who counted the votes, and I'll prove your innocence when I ask. The man walked away disdainfully.
This is the 14th person he interrogated, but everyone claims to be paid to do things, can he believe it? His opponent can still falsify the votes? Someone must be deceiving him, and when he finds out those liars, he will do everything he can to make them regret it.
But he didn't find any of them now.
"These scumbags, bastards!" he hammered against the wall in indignation. His insults echoed through the long, luxurious square corridor.
What the hell is going on? The country could hold it in the palm of his hand, but the actual result was much more than he expected. What did his opponent do?? At the end of the hallway, another figure appeared, footsteps coming from far and near.
The person who came was the new president who had successfully run for the election, named Ifuor, who had a height of 1.9 meters and a burly figure, giving people a strong sense of reliability. I can't imagine what means such a person can use to canvass for votes.
"Oh, isn't that my strong rival, Mr. Sachs, what are you bothering about?"
"Don't lie in front of me, let's be honest, how much benefit have you given them?"
Ifure's smile gradually faded, he was not unaware of the opponent's canvassing for votes, but no matter how the opponent canvassed, he also firmly believed that the final winner would be himself.
"You should know that your actions are not lawful, although success can gain the whole country, but failure is a capital offense. β
Sachs smiled wryly: "No, it won't fail, the success rate is 100%." But even if I was 100% successful, I still failed. Can you tell me...... What is it that can do this?"
It was the last possibility he could guess, and someone used reason to help his opponent reverse the inevitable election. But what he didn't expect was that Yi Fuer, who had always been elegant and easy-going on weekdays, had a serious expression at the moment, and the aura emanating from him seemed to be able to crush him, could it be that he guessed correctly?
"Hey......" Ifuel sighed deeply, as if to confess something.
"You still don't understand people's hearts. There is a small amount of justice hidden in people's hearts, which guides them to make the right choice. Let me ask you, if the most powerful person reaches the top by paying bribes, how long can the country prosper? When the top leaders only work for their own interests, how long can the dissatisfaction in the hearts of the people be suppressed? If you only care about yourself, you will inevitably be betrayed by the officials who are bent on serving the country. Ifure spoke in a low voice, and every word exuded an irresistible majesty.
"Humans are creatures that advance to high places, and they will not be stopped by those who are short-sighted!" he snorted.
Saxophone was in a trance for a moment, as if a thunderclap had exploded above his head. He had to admit that the other party's voice was the loudest he had ever heard, and at this moment he was like a prisoner caught by a police officer, and the tide of justice rushed madly into his brain.
Seeing that the effect of his two voices was remarkable, Yi Fuer slowed down his attitude: "As for the people you bought, they are all good boys who are tight-lipped, and it is I who discovered the clues and led to the righteousness in their hearts. Ivor patted him on the shoulder, "It's peaceful competition, and as for your problems, forget it this time." I won't pursue it again - but I don't want to make an example, and I hope you can also change your life and find justice in your heart. β
He committed a capital crime, and he was so easily forgiven? He bet that if it were someone else, he would always hold on to this sin, so that he would be spit on by thousands of people, and finally die of shame. was originally mentally prepared to become a benevolent if he didn't succeed, but the other party was far more open-minded than he imagined, as if he could tolerate the world.
"If those who can participate in the election are executed, it is also a loss for the country, so it is better to get back on track and use your power in the right place. "Ifuel stretches out a thick hand, a calloused hand that always makes one feel reliable.
Sachs grabbed hard at the trusty hand, the redeeming hand given by the angels, "I lost, I lost in every way. He sincerely admired his competitors, who deserved to become president with their vast strength and courage. "The country will surely become more and more prosperous in your hands. β
Not really. The innocent smile on the other man's face was incredibly hideous, and his thick hand strained so hard that he could hear the crunch of bones being crushed, and he reached out his other hand to his coat pocket.
Before Sachs could react to what was going on, he was shot in the head by the new president.
"'Psychology' is really not so easy to learn, and the effect is much worse than those who use reason. He gave the gun an insurance, then tucked it into his clothes and turned on the walkie-talkie on the other side, "Suicide in fear of sin, just report it to the outside world." By the way, those who took bribes are also reported. β
To achieve his goal - to give people the courage to release their true selves, he can do whatever it takes.
Sachs's corpse lay straight in a pool of blood, staring blankly at the dark gold lavish hallway top decoration. The bullet hit him in the center of the eyebrow, and he didn't get his hands on the truth until he died.
There was no such thing as betrayal, because two-thirds of those who voted in high positions were Ifure people. His ascent to the top was already predestined.
And his distorted three views will soon be instilled with distorted justice into the minds of every people.
The Empire was the largest force in the beginning, and the other powers were scattered around its territoryβall dissatisfied with the dictatorship of the Empire, pretending to be glory and promoting it to its own people, rejecting and distorting the facts that were already buried in the ground.
But now, these organizations are secretly receiving provocations and threats from the Empire. They seem to be planning to start a war, but what good is it for them?
"Those who go along live, and those who go against die. "Slowly exhaling a smoke ring day and night," almost all independent organizations have received the news, but they have no independent courage, but they have no idea of standing up and resisting. β
Amaterasu was stunned, since he came to Hatsuyaku, Hatsuki had been having an accident, and nothing good had happened. He felt that he was also responsible for this, and he felt more and more guilty in his heart.
He also learned what kind of country the Empire was, and that they wanted to unify the beginning and the end, which had to be stopped, but there was nothing they could do.
For a moment, he hoped that the Red Lotus Pavilion would come forward, but he shook his head. The idea of standing up and sending them to death is tantamount to using the mantis arm as a car.
"Let me guess what you're thinking, why is the Empire acting now with such strength?" "Day and Night looked down at the fireworks burning in his hand and muttered, "They have recently changed presidents, and it seems that they are even more ambitious than the previous one." β
Day and night did not guess correctly. Amaterasu continued to think that the darkest age might be ushering in at the end of the beginning, and the forces that could resist could not even touch the dark clouds that covered the land. Is Rin capable? She's just a wonderful doctor, what about the masked man who calls himself Yan Huang? he can only predict, not combat power, and the famous cousin?
He seemed to have an epiphany, and then returned to a melancholy expression. She can't stand up to the sophisticated rulers, the most she can do is unite the people, but a hundred and a thousand praying mantis can stop the car? If only the Empire's goal was him, he would have stumbled through the gates of the Empire, if that would stop them.
Day and Night threw away the cigarette butt in his hand, and said unhurriedly: "But their information is leaking very much, after all, they are all open to citizens, and it is easy for us to find out what we want." In terms of intelligence, let Dongguo go, we just need to be prepared to get in. β
"Isn't it, day and night...... Are you going to resist?" Amaterasu was a little skeptical of what he had just heard.
"Shall we not resist?" tilted his head day and night, as if this was a matter of course, and as if he was genuinely confirming Amaterasu's thoughts.
Amaterasu had never seen such a look. The innocence revealed from the eyes of the fierce and evil people, perhaps, is the eyes that look at death as home. Such a person is able to accept the worst end, so that he can calmly look for a glimmer of hope in a desperate situation, and build it into the sharpest spear that can pierce the predicament.
"It may seem foolish to you. The first people will only be reasonable, and they will not let any emotion numb themselves and make unfavorable moves. However, if we save ourselves, we will give up our last chance. Our power will be gradually reduced, and then ...... I don't know what to say. I don't know if you understand this feeling, but I guess it's a gut feeling, at least you can get better results. β
"Then I also have a gut feeling that there will be miracles. β
Seeing Amaterasu's serious face day and night, his heart relaxed a little. He snorted to his feet, "Is it a miracle...... We wouldn't believe in miracles, but it did, didn't it?" he gestured behind Amaterasu and walked away leisurely.
Amaterasu turned his head to look behind him, and it was an apocalyptic scene: Temi was running at the front, followed by a huge crowd, shouts and cheers quickly hitting the soles of his feet along the ground, and he also turned and ran.
Running for nothing.
People will act in a surprisingly unanimous manner at some point for all sorts of absurd reasons. There is no reason to control them, and any phenomenon can be explained by reason, but that reason is not under the control of humans. Perhaps their battles will also have this kind of reason called miracles mixed in.
That is providence, it is fate, it is what is destined to happen, but what is destined to happen? There are only a handful of people who can see fate, and one of them is heading to the Red Lotus Pavilion.
