Chapter 15: Fishing in Troubled Waters
Ishida looked around with red eyes. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Info and Neo also appeared on the altar as he heard someone mention him.
"Ah......h He stood like an iron tower opposite Neo. "You, me, who is the strongest?"
Neo, who was relatively wooden himself, was stunned by Ishida Shuoichi's roar. He wants to avoid this conflict, but he has awakened to become a savior, and his mentality has also changed subtly. The increase in strength brings about an increase in domineering. Before thinking of a better response, he firmly faced Ishida's provocation.
The silent gaze stimulated Ishida's nerves. His spatial ring flashed, and a huge and dignified ghost head knife appeared in his hand out of thin air. At this moment, there were even screams from the crowd.
If this is in the matrix, Neo is naturally stronger than Ishida. But this is in the real world, and Ishida's abilities are just as effective in the real world! And Neo is just the king of the virtual world, how can he compete with Ishida's Shuo here.
At this point, Trinity stepped forward and held Neo behind like a hen. Morpheus also came to Neo's side and gave Ishida's cold eyes.
"Guards!" Commander Rak's calm voice came. Two soldiers armed with batons surrounded Ishida.
Golden opportunity! Didn't Ishida Shuo want to make trouble? Let's make a good fuss. Maybe you can get rid of the control of the Dongzhou team!
Meng Chen climbed up to the altar in a few steps, and before Ishida Shuo could make a move, he knocked down the two guards, while not forgetting to suppress them as much as possible. "Ishida-kun, I'll help you restrain them, you do it quickly, you can't let these people underestimate you. Our people aboard the Hades are not bad breeds! ”
Meng Chen's shout made Ishida stunned. In this momentary distraction, Sano and Shimomura both rushed to the altar and hugged Ishida's legs, one left and one right. Especially Lu Shanchu's heartfelt persuasion with tears in his eyes: "Ishida-kun, calm down!" He's Neo, he's a savior! ”
The surrounding scene turned into slow motion in Ishida's eyes: although Meng Chen pounced on the guards, the three of them were still tearing and struggling with each other on the ground, blocking their way. Neo, Trinity, and Morpheus confront him, remembering that when he was watching a movie, he saw them as heroes in his quest for oppression and freedom, and now he is trying to knock them down. The other two teammates hugged themselves and tried their best to persuade them.
"Arrest him!" Commander Rak's cold voice woke Tak Ishida up. Everything is back to normal.
He saw several soldiers rushing up, and batons and fists and feet rained down on Meng Chen's body. When he was pulled up, his face was bruised, and blood was running down the corners of his mouth.
These people treat their teammates like this!
Ishida Shuohu roared, and he was about to rush forward. However, Lu Shanchu and Sanoqiu hugged his legs desperately and didn't let go. At this time, even the skinny Junko stretched out her arms to block in front of him. "Ishida-kun, please calm down! We should go to Captain Baidi and let him solve the current problem! ”
"Take him away!" Rak's order came again, and several soldiers roughly lifted Meng Chen up and dragged him out of the altar.
Meng Chen listened to Ishida Shuo's angry scolding behind him, but in the end he didn't rush up. Although Meng Chen's face and body were in unbearable pain, his mood was unusually good.
Very good! Once I'm held by Rak, Hundred Lands will no longer be able to control me. Get out of the control of the Dongzhou team first, and then look for opportunities.
He was escorted by several soldiers through narrow passages, then through elevators, across overpasses. As he was already dazed, the soldiers pushed him into a room and forcibly pinned him to a chair. The brief silence allowed Meng Chen to observe his surroundings, and he found that the soldiers were all armed with the weapons of the machine unit before the rebellion, they had pistols and rifles. This can be said to be quite a powerful force in Zion, where supplies are scarce.
It was a simple office, and he sat at a desk with a taller chair across from him. The room had two doors, one he had just passed through and the other beside it. Now the door opened without warning, and a man in military uniform entered.
"Commander Rak." The soldiers all stood up and saluted.
"Why attack the soldiers?" Rak is a resolute and hard-core soldier, and he gets straight to the point and questions Meng Chen.
Meng Chen, who has watched all 3 Matrix films, knows that he is very distrustful of the Prophet's words and Neo's abilities. Therefore, Meng Chen knew how to answer: "I want everyone to know that the savior is not a god, he is just an ordinary person, at most he is a powerful hero." And the heroes, we also have them on the Hades! ”
Hearing Meng Chen's explanation, Rak's solemn expression instantly eased, and even the soldiers beside him relaxed their bodies. What kind of generals are you, and what kind of soldiers you bring.
He took a long breath, leaned back in his chair, knocked on the table with one hand, and said, "Are there many other people who think like this?" I mean, I don't really believe in Morpheus's so-called prophetic prophecies. ”
Lark and Morpheus are rivals in love, and they are both courting the Lagos's Captain Naobi. Therefore, it must be said that his distrust of the prophet came in part from his dislike of Morpheus.
"Yes, sir, there are many. Our existence comes from our own efforts. It's not something that anyone has given, and it's not something that can be covered by a prophecy. ”
This statement is more in line with Rak's character, and he is almost about to give up the pursuit of Meng Chen. But looking at the soldiers on the left and right, he still decided that something should be done, at least an attitude was needed. "You are a brave man. But you have flouted Zion's internal security laws, and you need to be sanctioned accordingly. However, you are the crew of a flying ship. As the commander of the Zion Defense Force, I only have the right to command flying ships in wartime. So I'll turn you over to Parliament. The punishment you deserve will be decided by the Parliament. ”
Rak waved towards the door, "Take him to Councillor Haman." ”
This time, Meng Chen was able to walk on his own, and there were only 4 soldiers in front and behind him sandwiching him in the middle. This small change represents recognition of him.
After another tortuous route, when Meng Chen stood in front of Councilor Haman, his heart finally landed. The chubby, gray-haired, kind-faced MP was the quintessential Prophet fan of the Matrix. Of course, it was he who resisted Rak's pressure and allowed Morpheus to lead the Nebuganezzar in search of the Prophet, and said that the Parliament would send Lagos and Hammer to reinforce them. to finally keep Zion.
The congressman had an innate affection for the fighters on the flying ship. Although Meng Chen said a lot of bad things about the prophet in front of Rak. But as long as he doesn't say it to Harman, where does the Haman councillor know? So Lark did him a big favor this time.
