Sitting at the counter, Ling Ping'an was still reminiscing about the smell of roasted mushrooms just now.

"It's delicious...... he said, "it's just a little bit ......."

Meow!

The kitten at the counter was very approving with its owner.

Turn on the TV, and a debate show is playing on the TV.

This kind of debate program, in the federal empire, generally has a strong positive governance color.

Academia and orthodoxy have been entangled since ancient times!

It's just that the current academic debate is very peaceful.

Everyone is a humble gentleman, and they will end up and lose half of the surrender.

Therefore, it is not as tragic as it was hundreds of years ago - at that time, if you lose academically, even the flesh may be wiped out!

The various party struggles of the previous dynasty have turned the country into a miasma.

Yes, after the founding of the country, Taizu hated it!

In the following 100 years, the construction of the entire country also revolved around 'de-party struggle'.

Today, the election game of the Datong faction and the republican faction is somewhat similar to that of the ministers and doctors of 2,000 years ago.

Gentlemen are not in groups, so they are not parties.

The two factions are actually very loose factions based on academic ideas.

Even, there are often people who jump back.

Today's Datong faction, tomorrow's republican faction, the day after tomorrow, may think, 'Datong thought is more in line with my heart'.

And this is commonplace in the Federal Empire, and no one will feel wrong.

Not to mention any bullying of teachers and ancestors, repeated villains.

Rather, it is considered to be 'from the Tao'.

Well......

Since ancient times, scholars have never followed the way.

If I don't think it's right, I'm going to oppose it!

In addition, it is the so-called 'a gentleman who has nothing to fight, he will also shoot'.

That is, debate.

It's a mule or a horse, pull it out and slip away.

What they have to do is to use this method to convince the people to choose the blueprint they have drawn, and then hand it over to the professional officials, that is, the cabinet system to implement.

In the end, it is 'gentlemen are harmonious but different'.

It doesn't matter if you lose, as long as you don't lose too much, you can get something to some extent.

Because according to the Constitution, either side must get more than 70% of the electoral votes before it can be fully qualified to govern!

In other words, we recommend all cabinet ministers and formulate all policy lines.

But......

In fact, the self-proclaimed humble scholars won more than seventy percent of the electoral votes.

will also be very graceful to invite the losers to 'plan for the country together'.

Of course, during the election, there was still a lot of gunpowder.

Just like now, guests in the studio.

The Datong faction and the republican faction are close to each other.

For the 'avenue' that he adhered to in his heart, saliva flew sideways, pointing at Sang and scolding Huai, exposing each other's shortcomings.

This kind of exposure is mainly due to the mistakes and scandals that the other party has made in history.

Republicans, for example, have been accusing the Datong faction of indulging in the control of financial capital in the last time they were in power, which led to a financial tsunami and a stock market crash.

The Datong faction, on the other hand, mainly focused on the republican faction in power, and designed some policies that led to the economic downturn during the current cabinet's tenure.

Ling Ping'an watched it for a while, and then he only felt drowsy.

"What is this......" he complained, "Tell me all about these ......"

"Actually, I prefer to see you tear up, break the news, ......"

"It's best to tear apart the gentleman image on those scholars!"

Young people, always like something a little more entertaining.

Of course, Ling Ping'an also knew that his idea was completely unrealistic.

Serious national events, how can they be entertained?

National affairs must be serious and prudent!

Therefore, during the period of discipline and government, Taizu, Taizong and Gaozong formulated those decrees and policies, and even did not hesitate to wave the butcher's knife and cut off countless heads to pave the way.

He leaned back in his chair and watched the time, it was almost ten o'clock.

"Hmm......" picked up the phone, he glanced at the message that his aunt had just sent: "Have you arrived at the hotel in Nanzhou?" ”

He looked at the location of the photo he sent: the Kingdom of Southern Zhou. Gangdu Port. Jiangdu Manor Hotel.

"Tut-tut......" he sighed, "another five-star hotel......"

"The treatment is so good!"

With a drop, another message came: Xiao Ping'an, will you go to the Imperial Capital Friendship next month?

Ling Ping'an looked strange: Auntie, how did you know about this?

Hey, hey, hey......

Mountain people have their own way!

Ling Ping'an looked at it and shook his head, he knew that it was probably his aunt's colleague or friend who received the news.

So he typed and replied, "Hmm...... I'm going......

…………………………

Yes!

Chu Weiwei had just finished taking a bath when he suddenly heard the cheers of the captain in the living room.

She put on her bathrobe and walked out, happy to see the captain holding his phone on the sofa.

"Captain, what's the good thing?" Chu asked slightly.

"My little nephew...... Finally, I am willing to go to the imperial capital to participate in the sorority! Li Anan clenched his fists and said happily.

She didn't believe it, when she arrived in the imperial capital, could the little nephew still hold it in front of the beauties of the whole world?

If so.

Then she has to doubt the orientation of this nephew.

Chu listened slightly, not very understanding.

But since the captain is happy, that's a good thing in all!

………………………………………………

Zhang Hui looked at the time, it was already ten o'clock.

He stepped out of the car, which had been there for almost two hours, and closed the door.

Then, I found the flashlight that I hadn't used for a long time, and I thought I might never use it again.

He tried, but the light of the flashlight was still bright.

So he took it and walked forward.

Cross the road and bypass a secluded alleyway.

In front of it is the industrial park.

Along the abandoned courtyard wall of the industrial park, walking forward, soon came to an intersection.

Turning his head, he saw that in the secluded streets and alleys, it was quiet, only the street lights were flickering.

Zhang Hui took a light breath.

Then, he took a flashlight, turned on the power, and shone it ahead.

A bright light shone out and shone in the mist.

Everything around me, I don't know when, has changed.

He was surrounded by mist.

But Zhang Hui had already been here once, so he wasn't surprised.

He grabbed a flashlight and walked forward.

In the depths of the fog in the distance, there was a flickering light.

As he walked, Zhang Hui thought.

"This ......"

"My mission is to find out his opinion on the construction of the neighborhood ......"

If it is against......

Naturally, everything is Hugh.

If it is tacitly accepted......

The abacus in Zhang Hui's heart fought.

There is a lot of land that can be developed here.

It is completely possible for the cabinet to come forward and eat them all, and then build a dormitory for the children of meritorious people or key scientific research institutions and potential new stars.

The development, construction and distribution of this area should be carried out according to the situation of the country.

That's what Zhang Hui thinks.

In his view, wealthy private capital, or transcendental, is not qualified to distribute these benefits.

Because they don't have any obligations and responsibilities at all.

All the risks are borne by the blackguards.

It can't be said that the risks are all resisted by the black guards, but the benefits are taken by them, right?

It doesn't make sense!

Of course......

Zhang Hui understood that his plan had to be approved and accepted by the bookstore owner.

He can't do anything without nodding.

Because......

Everything here and around here is brought by Him.

In a sense, in fact, the black guards have long been in the vicinity of this area, classified as a place similar to a diplomatic consulate.

It's both respect for the other person.

It's also about respecting yourself.

With these in mind, Zhang Hui had already slowly walked to the door of the mysterious bookstore.

Raising his head, Zhang Hui felt that on the exterior wall of this ordinary-looking building, there seemed to be a liquid like water, slowly flowing.

In his soul, an inexplicable voice said to him, "That's one of the incarnations of the Nameless Mist......

"Nameless Mist?" Zhang Hui wrote down this honorific title: "An unknown ancient god? ”

He had been practicing the Book of Reason for some time.

Therefore, he also understood who wrote this book?

Is!

An ancient, transcendent race.

A race known as 'absolute rationality'.

This race is known for its strong spiritual strength.

They can ignore most psychic intrusions.

It can even reverse time and space, and wander through one era after another with the situation of the spirit body.

In order to avoid the danger of extinction, in order to continue civilization.

Pity......

Eventually, they encountered a hunter who could not be evaded.

An interstellar transcendent species called the Flying Hydra, which destroyed them.

The last of the Isis was even made into a taxidermy and became the collection of the bookshop owner.

It is precisely for this reason that, in a sense, Zhang Hui, who has obtained the Book of Reason, can be regarded as a descendant of the Isi people.

The worldview of the Isis is very peculiar.

Genes, blood, soul......

None of them are anything they approve of.

Because these things are probably the same as the flesh and skin that the Buddha said, and they can be discarded at any time.

Only the form of the id and the spiritual will is what they identify with.

Therefore, in a sense, Zhang Hui was regarded as his own by the Isis who had been made into a specimen, who was in fact dead and had only a little remnant of the instinctive spirit.

Sometimes, the dead spiritual mind will tell Zhang Hui some secrets.

Just like now.

Pity......

It did not dare or could not reveal more information.

Zhang Hui walked to the door, and he knocked lightly.

Tuk Tuk ......

Soon the business of the bookstore owner came out of the door: "Please come in! ”

Zhang Hui gently pushed open the door and stepped into the bookstore.

As soon as he entered, he saw the mysterious bookstore owner, sitting in the old wooden counter, as he had done last time, as if looking at the computer screen in front of him.

He looked up, the fire under his eyes flickering.

The mist-shrouded head was hazy.

Zhang Hui's spiritual sense was keenly aware that he seemed to be a little more 'complete' than the last time they met......

"Complete?" Zhang Hui thought about this idea that popped up out of nowhere.

Something had already been understood in his mind.

"This ancient god lives in seclusion here...... Not just in the game world? ”

"It's possible that He was looking for something about himself......"

Thinking of this, many of the doubts in Zhang Hui's heart were immediately solved.

"That's right!"

"How can an existence like this casually stay in the mortal world for a long time?"

In myths and legends, there was an era when man and god coexisted.

But both the East and the West have mentioned a common concept: the gods will eventually leave the world.

Because staying here for a long time is not good for them.

Thinking about these things, the words of the bookstore owner came to my ears: "Guest, who are you?" ”

Ling Ping'an looked at the guest in front of him who seemed to be a little familiar, he scratched his head and asked, "You are a staff member of the Federation?" ”

Today, Zhang Hui wears a very standard federal civil service attire.

Zhang Hui looked at the ancient god, looking at the flowing fire in his eyes.

Suddenly, he was blessed and nodded: "Yes, I am a staff member of the Federation!" ”

As he spoke, he pulled his wallet out of his bosom.

There are many business cards inside the wallet, all of which are designed to facilitate dealing with ordinary people.

Looking at these business cards, Zhang Hui's sixth sense made him pull out a black business card from it.

Then he took it and handed it over: "Your Excellency...... I am a ...... of the Social Survey Department of the Federal Imperial Cabinet"

"I am being ordered to conduct a social investigation ......"

The Social Investigation Committee of the Federal Imperial Cabinet is a body shared between the republicans and the Pax Romanisans.

It is also responsible for providing social data to the Cabinet and the Central Committee, as well as to the Council of Secretaries and Ministers.

It's a variant of a think tank.

Many policies are decided based on the department's survey information.

Zhang Hui looked at the ancient god holding his business card, and the fire in his eyes slowly swirled.

He immediately smiled and said, "I was ordered to inquire about the area near Your Excellency......

Speaking of this, Zhang Hui's heart couldn't help but beat up.

He was a little scared.

But fortunately, Zhang Hui knew that this ancient god knew that everyone was playing games.

A game set by the old god himself.

The tsundere old god wants to dress himself up as an ordinary bookstore owner.

So, everybody cooperated with Him and kept the game going.

Even if, in fact, everyone knows it.

But if you don't want to die, you have to obediently follow His rules of the game.

Play this game with Him called 'Guess what I want to do.'

Of course, the kind-hearted One will give some kind hints to the poor human through words or some gestures.

By and large, however, the framework of the rules has already been established.

It's a bit like that fairy tale of Qin Lu - the emperor's new clothes.

To some extent, Zhang Hui knows that this is actually a test.

Test yourself, the Blackguard, and the others to see if you have enough respect and loyalty to them.

Really!

The ancient god on the opposite side handed back the business card in his hand, and then said, "It turned out to be Investigator Zhang......"

"You may be seated!" He invited Zhang Hui to the couch and sat down.

Then sit down on the opposite side by yourself.

Then He asked, "Mr. Zhang, have I seen you?" ”

Zhang Huileng is gone.

He knew it might be a test.

There may also be some kind of indication.

He immediately began to use all his wisdom and think with all his might.

Because, if he doesn't answer this question well, he will be angry.

At the very least, they will 'dislike' themselves.

In ancient times, this was 'falling out of favor'.
