"Someone has to carry it!"

In the enclosed conference room, the voice of the sentence was not very loud, but it was powerful enough.

The four people here are very aware of the meaning behind this.

100,000 people...... With such a large-scale figure, the direction of public opinion outside is also very bad, and the special department is under unimaginable pressure, no matter which angle it is, it must come up with an explanation.

The Ministry of Special Affairs is an institution and has no life, so if it can't come up with a charter, the last person to bear this pot must be the leadership of the entire Ministry of Special Affairs and dozens of departments and bureaus.

From the heads of various departments and bureaus to the officials in the special department, in other words, these people here will inevitably be affected.

Obviously, they don't want to take this responsibility, so if you look around, who will be responsible?

Cheng Lin is the actual operator who led to the appearance of the projection, and, most importantly, he has just joined the special department system, and he is a newcomer without any foundation, and he has not even gained a firm foothold in the first division, let alone the special department?

Therefore, after thinking about it, he is undoubtedly the best candidate.

Everyone knows this.

There was a brief silence in the room, and then Shi Shengcun shook his head firmly: "But he can't carry it!" ”

"You ......" the square-faced official tried his best to suppress his emotions and slapped it the table.

Another slightly chubby middle-aged man who looked more calm raised his hand to stop his colleague, sighed, and said:

"Shi Si Shou, you have always been a person who takes the overall situation into account, why are you so stubborn today? You know the current situation, and the public opinion outside is so big, waiting for a conclusion.

Yes, I know, Cheng Lin may not have meant it, this incident was an accident, but after all, he made this thing, and if he didn't come out to bear it, who would bear it?

Do you want you and me, us here, plus the minister, plus the heads of more than 20 departments and bureaus at all levels, to take on the responsibility together? Isn't that too wrong? ”

As he spoke, a helpless look appeared on his face.

Shi Shengcun listened quietly, and then was silent for a few seconds before he said slowly:

"Before the projection appeared this time, I had asked the above for instructions, and I also got approval, and then I contacted Cheng Lin and asked him to turn it on, from this point of view, we are indeed responsible."

Without waiting for them to speak, Shi Shengcun continued:

"I also know that this matter really has little to do with you, and you don't even know much about cultivators......

Speaking of which, the smile on the corner of his mouth was somewhat ironic:

"Let you carry it together, it's indeed a bit wronged, so let's do it, or I'll come, I'm in charge of this part, this projection was also initiated by a company, and, before the incident, if I made some calculations in advance, maybe some could have been avoided......

Oh, in this way, the biggest responsibility should be me. ”

"Shi Si Shou! What are you talking about? The slightly chubby middle-aged man looked unswerving, "I know you have emotions in your heart, but don't say such irrational words, you are injured, we all know very well, you should have taken a vacation to recuperate at this time...... How can I blame you for this? ”

Even the middle-aged man with a square face kept a calm face, knocked on the table and said:

"Chief Shi, we are here to talk about business, don't say such strange things, you know, it is impossible for you to be responsible!"

Shi Shengcun sat quietly in the chair, looking at them like this with a smile on his face, without saying a word, gradually, until they couldn't talk anymore, he seemed to chuckle and said:

"Yes, it's impossible for me to bear it, you know that very well, and I know very well, why? Because the current situation is still unstable and can't do without me, you can't move me.

So even if I point at your nose and scold and say something nasty, the top will turn a blind eye and be invisible.

You see, you all know this very well, since it is so clear, why can't you see the situation clearly?

Do you have to ask Cheng Lin for the crime? ”

"Shi Shengcun! What are you talking about! ”

The faces of the two people present suddenly became ugly, and even Xu Ji, who was sitting next to him, sighed imperceptibly.

However, the most uncomfortable thing is that they can't refute it, because these extremely harsh-sounding words are so correct and to the point.

Shi Shengcun ignored their faces and continued:

"So, I've been saying, I hope you can learn more about the cultivation, even if you know a little more about the cultivation world, you won't make such a hasty decision, you know that you can't move me, but you are so sure that you can move him?"

"He's just a seven-pin!" One person took a deep breath, "We know that he is very strong, but he is only a seven-pin, you are injured, okay, it is inconvenient to make a move, it is understandable, but is there no way for us to take a seven-pin?"

What about Liyang? He entered the seventh grade much earlier than this Cheng Lin, right?

There is also the head of the second division, hasn't this just entered the seventh grade? And that white leaf, although he didn't come in, but it's not also an alliance, it's three, three to one, what's there to worry about?

It's really not good, you can find a way to imprison his power first, we are not unreasonable people, we talk about the law, just to avoid some possible harm, so we disarm him first, and then talk about it......

Besides, something happened this time, what if there was a next time?

This is a huge destabilizing factor! ”

"Are you done?" Shi Shengcun quietly watched this colleague's performance, and then his face turned cold all of a sudden, and he said quietly, "What I said to let you know more is not to do arithmetic problems!" It's not such a simple conversion relationship between practitioners!

There are always some people who know a little about unfamiliar territory, and then they are very confident and say something that makes people laugh!

You think he's just an ordinary seven-pin? Do you think you can really take him down easily with your current strength?

Wrong! Miss by a mile! ”

Shi Shengcun's voice suddenly rose, because of this disaster, the emotions that had been suppressed for a day and a night exploded all at once:

"He's definitely not as simple as you think! His true strength is far beyond your imagination! Check this out! ”

As he spoke, he jerked open the drawer and threw a document on the table:

"Just yesterday's rescue, he didn't know where to get thousands of cultivators! Thousands of practitioners we don't know about! It is with these that the disaster can be contained so quickly, and before that, I didn't know anything about it!

If it weren't for this, I don't think anyone would have thought that he would still have such a hole card hidden.

And the bigger problem is that we don't know what else he has, the power that has not been revealed! ”

"Arrest...... Catch...... You said lightly, do you really think that you can win by sending a few Seven Rank Realms? This will only exacerbate the contradictions! Really pushed him into a hurry, who knows what he will do?

You know, just yesterday, his father also died in this disaster, what do you think? No worries, this is the real no worries, we don't have a way to handle him now!

At this time, you still want to stimulate him, is it because things are not messy enough? Or are not enough people dead? One by one, they are thinking about their careers, and they don't want to take this responsibility, and then what?

And then I just found a newcomer who looked weak and had an unstable foundation to carry it? Do you know what you're doing? ”

"Heh, if my guess is correct, you didn't contact the minister in advance about coming here, did you?

Well, he is not in the capital now, it is indeed a good time to arrange the responsibility in advance, and wait for the big leader to come back and write a report and send it to him, and then the wood will be completed, and everything will be fine.

It's good to think, but where in the world is there such a good thing? ”

"I had already guessed that you would come with such a hand, so let him go early, otherwise, God knows what things will turn out of!!"

Quiet!

In the conference room, Shi Shengcun's roar gradually fell, and then, there was an indescribable dead silence.

Those people looked at Shi Shengcun who was suddenly furious, as if they knew him for the first time.

In their impression, Shi Shengcun was almost never angry, and every time he met him, he was very peaceful, and it was the first time he had seen it.

In silence, they subconsciously set their eyes on the photos and report documents scattered on the table, picked them up and read them one by one.

When they saw the mountain of bones in the photo, as well as the murderous and boundless team of mysterious cultivators, their faces finally became solemn.

It is true that they lack an intuitive understanding of the combat power of cultivators, but at the very least, they have a very clear perception of quantity.

One person may be easy to capture, but if it is a few thousand, and it is a few thousand "superhumans", then how can it be captured?

Or, even if it succeeds, at what cost?

After a simple calculation, several people put down these photos with slightly trembling fingers, and then, with their Adam's apple rolling, said unwillingly:

"But is that all? Public opinion ......"

"The people don't know about the projection and his relationship!" Shi Shengcun took a deep breath, restrained his emotions, frowned, and said, "In fact, the people don't know that there is such a person as him, even if it is a group of cultivators, they only know that he has received a special inheritance, and the rest are not known.

At present, there are only a few people who know that the projection was made by him, and they have counted all of them, as long as we reach a consensus and hide this matter, it will not affect him at all. ”

"But paper can't contain the fire, even if it is hidden for a while, but I am afraid that it will be exposed sooner or later, and even if the domestic public opinion is controlled, what about foreign countries? A lot of people died abroad this time, and once ......"

"Is there any evidence?" Shi Shengcun suddenly sneered, "It is indeed impossible for the relationship between Cheng Lin and the projection to be concealed for a long time, but is there any evidence?" Even if other countries get this information, what if?

Without evidence, any claim can be false! In recent years, has there been less fake news outside and news that smears us?

It's overwhelming, it's too many to count, as long as there is no evidence, whatever you say, it's meaningless! ”

After a pause, he squinted his eyes and said quickly:

"Domestic public opinion is stable, as for the responsibility, it can only be carried by the Department of Justice, it just so happens that the heads of various departments and bureaus should have been replaced, and it is long overdue to separate administration and practice, and this is an opportunity.

If it should be replaced, go out and issue a statement, saying that the person in charge of the local department and bureau will take the blame and resign, give an explanation to public opinion, and at the same time replace the newcomer, killing two birds with one stone.

As for Cheng Lin...... Wait until the storm is over. ”

In the conference room, several people glanced at each other, a little unwilling, but they really couldn't come up with new ideas, hesitated, and the middle-aged man with a square face got up and said:

"There is no point in discussing this matter with you, and it must be reported to the above."

"Of course."

"But since you proposed this plan, how to talk to the above, I think it is more appropriate for you to be responsible."

Shi Shengcun glanced at the other party, and there was a little impatience between his eyebrows:

"Okay, leave this matter to me, I'll draft the document and report it to the top, so I won't bother you."

Several people were silent and got up, apparently not in a happy mood.

Pushing open the door and about to walk out, the middle-aged man with a square face suddenly stopped and said:

"Chief Shi, kindly remind you that your ideas do have your reason, but what the above attitude is, it may not be as you wish.

I admit that I misjudged this matter before and judged it recklessly, but I also hope you know that a few of us can still listen to your reasoning, but the people above may not be able to......

You say that we don't understand the practice, yes, we really don't understand, and that's what I'm not doing enough, but you know, if even we, the people who work in the Special Department, don't understand it, then the people in the rest of the departments outside the Special Department will only know even less!

They may not be able to listen to your reasoning, so if you plan to report it, it would be better to come up with more weighty evidence and say it all. ”

After saying that, he pushed open the door and walked away quickly, waiting for the figures of the three to disappear.

Shi Shengcun's face swelled with a sickly flush, he slowly leaned back, then closed his eyes, breathed slowly, and adjusted his strength that had suddenly become disordered due to the change in mood.

After a long time, I opened my eyes, took out a piece of paper, moistened it with water, and slowly wiped away the thick tiredness on my face.

After pondering for a moment, chewing on the words of the other party before leaving, his eyebrows gradually furrowed, and then he controlled the wheelchair, walked out of the conference room, and went all the way up, back to his office in the building at the top of the mountain.

When the door was closed, sniffing the faint incense in the room, he pushed his wheelchair to his desk and opened another drawer.

Then take out a stack of photographs from it, as well as a piece of paper.

The photographs vary, but the first one is a valley with the word "Shangqiu" carved into the vine-covered stone wall of the valley.

In the background of the second picture is a dilapidated castle with a line of words engraved on it, and at the end, there is the inscription of "Cheng Lin".

3rd ......

Fourth ......

Those are all photographs of stone carvings that appear in previous projections.

The last one, on the other hand, is a stone with a name written on it in the background, and the college building on the edge of the photo in winter.

In the middle of the photo is engraved a crooked name, which is the name engraved by the students when they graduated from the Ninth Academy, and that name is:

Cheng Lin

And on the header of that piece of paper, the words "handwriting test report" are written.

Underneath, next to the bright red solemn seal, is written:

"Handwriting similarity: 97.5%, can be identified as the same person."

PS2: Recently, the plot "ups and downs" are relatively large, normal. The next few chapters "go up and down" even more... Sit tight and fasten your seatbelt.
