Chapter 13: The King's Organization
As time passed, more and more voices appeared in the peach forest.
"This time, the king is a bit of a big move."
"I'm new, and I've seen the king for the first time. Wasn't that the case before? ”
"Yes, the previous one was very quiet, but unfortunately the time in office was too short."
"In the past few decades, the three consecutive kings have not been the lord of peace." Someone retorted.
"Alas, how can it be replaced more and more often. We have to get a headache like this every time. ”
"How often?" Someone else asked curiously.
"Just look at the records for yourself. The first six people are all very stable, basically one every forty to sixty years, and there are even very few window periods. But from the seventh term, after eight years in office, he disappeared inexplicably, disappeared for more than twenty years, and finally the eighth appeared twenty years ago, but disappeared again ten years ago......"
"I guess I died in the last war." Someone sighed.
"Who knows?"
"There were a lot of people that time, and in the end, we were the old guys left. Even if it is a king, there will always be times when he can't hide from it. War......" someone reminisced.
The forest suddenly fell silent, and the blows all fell silent, obviously the tragic war ten years ago was not a good memory, and everyone was a little disappointed.

"But this time it's too abnormal."
The lazy, shrill voice from before suddenly broke the silence.
"Don't you think this time it's too much?"
"Yes, indeed." Several voices chimed in.
"Yes, if it were as big as yesterday's movement, eighty percent of them like to be in the limelight, and they should have come here a long time ago and give us orders. But why is it so quiet when it's over? ”
"It can't be a coincidence, is it?"
"Is there a precedent for coincidences before?"
"Why not, I'm not. However, it shouldn't be, even if it happens, you should be able to know about this place, and it's not difficult to come here. ”
Wu Renli leaned on the peach tree and asked lightly, "What are you all guessing nonsense?" Have any of you seen what the king's lineage is? ”
"Isn't it a card?"
Several rhetorical questions came out of Zhi's brain one after another.
"It's said that there is also the key. Right? The old voice asked hesitantly.
"As it should be. Otherwise, why is it that every time the king appears, it is marked by the closure of the authority of all of us? ”
"I see."
"Forget it, let's wait patiently."
"It's not an option to wait." Wu Renli said: "This time the situation is indeed abnormal. If the power outage just happened to collide with Wang's appearance, it would be fine, but if Wang forcibly opened the card, but did not decipher Wang's inheritance, what would it be? yes, five of diamonds. ”
"Indeed, the seventeenth five-five did not appear during his tenure, and a new one-five appeared after his death. We've been speculating that it was possible that he forcibly opened the card, but didn't accept the inheritance of permission, so that's why it's like this. A voice said in distress.
"So what are we going to do? You can't just wait, right, if the permissions haven't been opened, won't there be a big mess? ”
"You should always let Wang appear here first, and everything else is easy to say."
"We don't know what the king's inheritance is, what can we do?"
"Are you stupid? In any case, the king must first know the address of this place. Wouldn't we just give him the key points here? ”
"What's the key?" Someone asked stupidly.
"Playing cards."
"How?"
"Don't know what subliminal advertising is? We're spreading ads all over five planets. ”
"Subliminal advertising? What's that? ”
……
The voices in the peach grove grew more chaotic.
"Okay, shut up and stop arguing."
A majestic voice suddenly spoke, overpowering all voices.
"Ace of spades, you name it. What to do? Wu Ren straightened up and asked softly.
And so on. All wait patiently. The voice said firmly.
"Well, you have the final say. Listen to you. Wu Renli shrugged.
After Wu Renli finished speaking, the echo sound continued to sound in the peach forest.

And while the organizations in the peach grove were worried about their king, making guesses that were right or wrong, outrageous or reliable, their ignorant king was holding a large lake white fish and bargaining with a thick and sturdy man.
"Big Black, tell me yourself, is this like a word? Four pounds of white strips, just give two thousand? ”
"What weighs four pounds, three pounds and nine taels. Also, you call Da Lao Hei again, be careful that I kill you little rabbit cub next time. ”
Lu An smacked his lips, reluctantly handed him the box, and said, "Forget it, forget it, I don't want to talk nonsense with you, hurry up and give money." ”
The man took the box and handed Lu An a transparent chip, which was an anonymous money point. The black market has never been traded directly with the brain, and for fear of being tracked, it is all used as the currency circulated in this interstellar transaction.
"How is your sister doing this time? I thought you didn't dry your hands this month. ”
"How so?" Lu An laughed, "I still have to treat my sister." ”
"Let's go, take care."
After the fierce-looking man walked away, Lu An greeted him, and Anna came out of hiding. Although Anna had always known about these things, Lu An never let her have direct contact.
"Brother, that wicked man is gone?"
"What wicked man?" Lu An shook his head and said, "Don't judge people by their appearance. Although he is not a good person, he is not a bad person. Everybody is just eating with each other. ”
"Brother, the tone in which you say this is very much like the tone of a big bad guy." Anna snorted with a wrinkled nose.
"Really? Then it seems that I can still rely on acting to make a difference in the future. Lu An deliberately laughed.
"Let's go, let's go back. I'm starving. ”
"Okay, what do you want to eat at night?"
"I didn't think about it,......"
Under the setting sun, the shadows of the two brothers and sisters walking home were stretched longer and longer, and finally they leaned on each other in front of them, extending into the distance.

Zone Zero, east side of United Peak, Joint Command headquarters, 12 a.m.
"Commander-in-Chief, why did you gather everyone at this time?"
In the small conference room next to the combat readiness command room, ten old men, fat or thin, tall or short, with kind or cold faces, each sat on a stool.
There are no conference tables, not even stools, and there are few electronic devices in the small conference room, except for the lighting fixtures and ten ordinary stools.
"Two things." Commander-in-Chief Lu Yong, who was sitting upright on a stool, spoke.
The old men who were greeting each other closed their mouths, the old man who was closing his eyes and pretending to sleep opened his eyes, and the people who were already sitting upright looked at Lu Yong.
"One is that Old Jack informed me just now that the decision to elevate Europa to Europa tomorrow has been overruled at the closed meeting of the Supreme Council tonight. He told us to be prepared to prevent some people from making noise. ”
This news is exactly what Lin Yongping said in the restaurant, and everyone here has already learned about it through their own channels, so they are not surprised at all, everyone just nodded.
"What is the commander-in-chief's order?" Sitting on Lu Yong's left, an old man with a kind face asked with a smile.
"After two hours, bring the Combined Fleet to three-level combat readiness, and all officers and soldiers must be on duty. The 3rd Fleet, the 14th Support Fleet, the 25th Frigate Fleet, and the 33rd Reconnaissance Fleet of the Combined Fleet carry out special exercises in the outer planetary zone. ”
"Roger. In two hours, the three-level combat readiness was put into a state of three-level combat readiness, and the 3rd, 14th, 25th, and 33rd fleets carried out exercise tasks. ”
After the old man repeated it, he asked, "Commander-in-chief, don't you need to send out a logistics support fleet?" ”
"After all, it's not really a war, just let the gang on Europa be honest. Withdraw after a week, and don't send out the logistics fleet. ”
"Hmm. At the end of the meeting, I conveyed the order. ”
"Second, it is about the power outage accidents in the 11th, 13th, 14th, and 15th districts. You should all know that Old Jack used this as an excuse to crush Europa's gang of jumping up and down. ”
As soon as Lu Yong's words came out, the atmosphere in the conference room immediately became different.
Just now, the lazy old men opposite Lu Yong began to sit up straight, while the eyes of some old men next to him began to brighten, staring at Lu Yong's face, waiting for his next words.
"Albert, what about the conclusion of your investigation by the Gendarmerie Command?"
Lu Yong stared at the only man in the conference room who was in his prime.
He was only in his forties, fair-skinned, with short chestnut hair, a face as square as marble, a muscular figure, and a resolute and cold temperament like the image spokesman of the gendarmerie headquarters.
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief."
The commander of the gendarmerie command, Albert Schwitton, opened his mouth in a clear and loud baby voice, and perhaps it was precisely because of this that the commander Schweiton was always silent and cherished words like gold, but it was more in line with the atmosphere of the gendarmerie command.
"It has been ascertained that the accident originated in the North District of Shanghai-Hangzhou United City, the third domain of the thirteenth district, and the time was 22:19 minutes and 27 seconds in the third region, the specific cause is unknown, the perpetrator is unknown, and the purpose of the crime is unknown."
However, such information is meaningless, and everyone in this room was notified within five minutes of the accident, which has been heard countless times today.
"Commander-in-Chief, have you found anything?"
The old man on Lu Yong's left asked with a smile.
Lu Yong pursed his lips and did not answer, and after slowly looking around at the marshals in front of him from the right, he said calmly: "The leader of the group of undead is back. ”
The conference room suddenly fell silent, and some old men were so surprised that their faces froze, and the old man on Lu Yong's left even smiled directly on his face.
Then the other nine marshals all frowned in unison.
"The one who disappeared three years ago? Or is it new? ”
"How did you come back so soon?"
"Lao Lu, are you sure?"
"Yong, really?"
……
There was a bang in the room.
