Chapter 110: The old tree is entrenched, fighting openly and secretly
As soon as these words came out, the air around him instantly cooled, making Nobita shiver.
What does he mean?
Threaten me?
……
Only then will Nobita truly feel his own inadequacy and insignificance - no matter how many adventures and adventures he has experienced, his mental age is less than twenty years old. Compared to a monster like Lindsey who knows how many hundred or thousands of years old...... He lacked experience, and he couldn't analyze any valuable information from the other party's tone. In his incomparably strange smile, Nobita felt that he was being dismantled and crumpled little by little, and even the black secret in his heart could not be spared.
Lindsay Garcia has a magical ability to see through his own vulnerability with a few casual words.
Maybe only an immortal of Yin Xi's level can compete with him......
————
"Did Yin Xi mention me to you?" Lindsay asked in a casual tone, but even Nobita could hear it...... The meaning behind this question is far from as easy as it seems.
"A little bit of it."
"Huh...... I didn't go to such lengths to get close to you to listen to you. Lindsay walked in front, the black robe swayed with the pace, the two golden stripes opened like eyes, staring at Nobita deadly, making him feel a sense of horror for unknown reasons, "It's not that I can't understand, after all, Yin Xi and you were born the same color, the same skin color, time...... It's more than 4,000 years away. But on a large scale of the universe, the two of you can be considered to have been born at the same time, and the geographical location is close enough to be ignored. It's not an exaggeration to say that you two are brothers. ”
"You probably believed everything he said, right?"
“…… I'm not that stupid. Nobita said coldly.
"That's good." Lindsay said meaningfully, "Yin Xi is powerful, in terms of fighting alone, there are few opponents in the known universe." But no matter how powerful he is, he is also an individual, and what he can see from an individual's perspective is often not objective enough. He and I have always had political discord, which is well known throughout Yulian. Let me guess if he was talking to you...... Am I in the direction of rebellion and chaos? ”
Nobita's head was covered with a thin layer of cold sweat.
"Do you have one?" He used rhetorical questions to cover up his weakness.
“…… Of course not, Nobita. The senators will look imposing, but they will also be subject to scrutiny by surveillance agencies large and small. Countless eyes are on us all the time, on our words and deeds, on the policies we have issued...... the crime of 'defecting to Chaos' is not as easy to commit as you think. Once proven, Eloka will be in a state of no return. Lindsay Garcia laughed like a spring breeze, in the political environment of the Yulian, being said to be "colluding with chaos" can be said to be the most serious crime that threatens his political career, but he didn't care much, but as if he had heard a funny joke, he shrugged his shoulders and said disapprerovingly, "Especially me." You have also seen that trial, I am one of the seven elders, a representative of civilization, and the people who are staring at me at the same time are not a thousand, but eight hundred...... Do you think it's possible for me to betray? Do I have this opportunity? If I do that, even if I show even the slightest inclination, even if I don't have to worry about you, I'll be picked up by the censors right away...... Then, there will be a wave of purges of people who work around me. Remembering the contributions I have made to the organization over the years, they will destroy me humanely with a laser, and Eloka will also go into decay, be ostracized by the civilization circle, and even be expelled from the core management of Yulian. ”
"Even if I don't think about myself...... Think about my fellow citizens, too, right? ”
Throughout the whole story, Lindsay did not use any very strong words to defend herself, but only explained her views to Nobita gently and politely. His tone was subdued and frustrated, and he just wrapped the argument in the rhetoric, inadvertently pouring it into Nobita's mind.
This is surprisingly effective.
What's even more terrifying is ...... In a few words, he injected Nobita with a rather powerful point: the leader of civilization must be responsible for the civilization under his rule, and in this case, the possibility of the leader "rebelling against chaos" is very small - they cannot allow the innocent civilization under their rule to be implicated in their crimes.
However, according to this theory, there is only one person in the senior management of Yulian who does not have such concerns.
Yin Xi.
As the spokesperson of the Third Civilization, Yin Xi represents a much larger collective, all the lower civilizations in the known universe. But in the end, Yin Xi has no direct relationship with them, and it is even more unlikely that the lower civilizations will recognize him as a leader. Thinking from this point of view, he is truly unrestrained, unconcerned, bringing nothing and taking nothing away. If you really want to rebel...... It is also the most likely that he will defect!
Between Lindsay and Yin Xi, which one is lying......
"You seem a little nervous. Nobita, you don't have to be nervous at all, I don't have any ill will towards you. Lindsay's voice fell from the front, with a slight gentle smile, but Nobita clearly felt something as piercing as ice from it, "I just wanted to tell you...... After all, there are so many people in Yulian. Those things that have no definite evidence, Yin Xi told you so stably...... To be honest, I don't care - he doesn't fight with me for a day or two, he's used to it. ”
"But...... For the sake of overall stability, you can just listen to these words yourself, and don't spread them around, okay? ”
……
Nobita didn't answer, and Lindsay didn't seem to mind, so she continued with her own.
"During that trial, I had to notice that you and the senator civilization were inextricably linked. In order to save you, the speaker of Lyon specially sent someone to collect the confession of the block civilization; The tree is simply here to defend you, and in his capacity as a heavyweight...... The opinion of the Green Star can be directly represented; After this trial, Lilulu's attitude towards you has also taken a 180-degree turn; Yoon Hee has been on your side from the beginning; And President A is not to mention...... He doesn't even want to hide his care and favor for you. Nobita, it seems that I am the only one who has been left out, what a pity......"
Lindsey jokingly clasped her hands to her chest and said a little flirtatiously, "So, you don't have to worry about me doing something to you...... First, I wouldn't; Second, even if I want to...... I can't do it anymore. So many patriarchal civilizations have united to protect you, and in the known universe, this is your strongest and most powerful backing. ”
“…… I know. Nobita cautiously spoke, "Mr. Lindsay, you seem to be hinting at me...... Mr. Yin didn't tell the whole truth? ”
"Who's to say?" Lindsay gave a vague answer, "Due to his special position, Yin Xi has no political position, and he doesn't have to care about what he says or what he does." Maybe that's what he thinks 'the whole truth', and he can't find someone to talk to within Yulian, so he comes to talk to you, or maybe ...... He has already seen that you will be taken care of in Yulian, and then merge into the military, continue to be promoted, and you will become a big official in the future. So I want to preemptively inject the impression in your mind that Lindsay Garcia is a guts bandit, lest you be won over by me in the future. Nobita, I'm not telling you to never trust every word Yin Xi says from now on, I mean - you are a smart person, don't believe anyone, including what I say, don't believe it, and don't believe it, understand? ”
……
In horizontal comparison, Lindsay's lifespan is actually not much different from Yin Xi.
The only difference is that he was born as a politician...... After countless years of strife, Lindsay reinvigorated the Garcia family, gained a foothold on Eloca's home planet, and rose to where it is today. In terms of hard power, he naturally can't be compared to Yin Xi, after all, the latter can even be on par with the twelve Nebula God of War. But if it is about demagogy and playing with power...... He is much better than Yin Xi. At this moment, the reason why Nobita has not been fully convinced is only because Yoon Hee contacted him one step ahead of Lindsay...... Preconceived notions were deeply ingrained in his mind and could not be changed for a while.
That's why he asked such a question in a daze.
"In that case, Lindsay, can you prove your innocence?"
“…… Scold. Lindsay Garcia was stunned for a moment, laughed lightly, and asked rhetorically, "Nobita, can Yin Xi prove to you that I am guilty?"
If he can't...... It means that I am not guilty, so why should I prove my innocence? ”
————
As they spoke, the two of them had already walked under a snow-white mansion that had been raised. All of a sudden, the surrounding buildings became sparse, revealing vast expanses of white-sand plains. On the ground, there are faintly flashing blue traffic lights, like a simple airport.
Seeing that the place was wrong, Nobita couldn't help but wonder, "What are you bringing me here for?" ”
"Remember what I just told you?" Lindsay just walked forward by himself and didn't look back, "President A Yi will arrange a simple and easy task for you, and after you are done, you will be directly promoted to the special executive officer of Yulian, and then you can go home." And now...... That's when you're done with it. This is a ship from the Settol government that is moored into a port, and the law allows hyperspace navigation, where the curvature engine can be turned on and accelerated to the speed of light. ”
"Go now?!" Nobita was taken aback, "No one informed me in advance!" ”
"Yes. Am I not? Lindsey said gently, "Don't worry, the task itself is not difficult, it is just for you to deliver a letter...... The place you go to is not a death realm, it is all Yulian's own territory, and the people you see after you go are all your own family. All in all, this is a very peaceful, absolute peace, no swords, no bullets, no intrigues...... Go in peace, and when you have delivered the letter, you will return in peace. Then we officially confer on you the rank...... This farce is over. ”
“…… Your set of first cut and then play is really amazing. Nobita squinted his eyes and said a little unkindly, "If it's really just to send a letter in the territory under the rule of Yulian, whoever is sent to this kind of thing is the same, why do I have to do it?" Even if you do this kind of thing and get a military rank...... There's nothing to be proud of, is there? Just by sending a letter, he got an idle position with a high status within Yulian, isn't it unfair to other soldiers who are fighting bloodily on the front-line battlefield? ”
"Hah...... You're so much smarter than I thought. Lindsay praised him with some surprise, "But don't make this mission too easy. Where to go...... There is still a certain particularity, and there are many inconveniences for people within Yulian. If you can perform this mission perfectly, it also means that you are capable enough to be qualified for the position of Yulian. ”
"Oh?" Nobita raised his eyebrows, "What do you mean by that?" ”
"Nobita, you should have noticed it when you were on trial...... There was a throne that was empty. In fact, it had been empty for almost forty years, and that patriarch had not participated in any of the activities of the Unicom organization for forty years! Especially recently, there is not even a little bit of news, and she seems to have completely closed herself off on her home planet and disappeared...... The higher-ups have sent messengers several times to remind them to shoulder the responsibilities of the patriarchal civilization, but in the end they have been lost in the sea and have not been heard from. ”
"So, that's when you need to play."
