Chapter 6: Die Well
Inside the War Fortress, at the top of the World Tree, is a gigantic palace resplendent with gold.
This palace is famous after the cataclysm and is called the "highest round table hall". All the places where the desolate beasts were slaughtered and the extermination rescue plan was launched was born in this golden hall that was nearly 10,000 meters spacious.
It can be said that the Supreme Round Table is the highest local belief in the entire Chinese country, and all living human beings firmly believe that if the Supreme Round Table Hall does not fall, mankind will never be slaved!
Therefore, the decisions born in the Supreme Round Table Hall are all policies that the Terrans are proud of, and they are the foundation for the Terrans to survive in this natural disaster.
However, at this moment, there is a solemn aura in this glorious palace with a height of thousands of meters.
Although it is called the Round Table, the interior is designed and arranged more like the way in the Floating Tower.
A large rectangular crystal was suspended at a height of 100 meters in the main hall. Hundreds of figures were suspended in the air, centered on this crystal block, hanging in the air in all directions of three hundred and sixty degrees, high or low.
Each of the figures hanging in the air was of different heights and ages, but the only thing that was similar was that they were staring at at least a dozen meritorious medals on their shoulders, which not only represented the glory of the world, but also the qualifications to be able to discuss here.
Anyone who pulls it out is a famous military strategist and politician who can make a sensation all over the world. In the aftermath of the cataclysm, these powerful politicians formed the most powerful supreme deliberative alliance in the Eastern Plate.
"How's going on with the power hub?" A majestic voice resounded from the top, echoing across the empty hall.
"The source of the city's power outage has been investigated, it is a human factor, but it is not yet known who is responsible." A dark-skinned lawmaker stopped the tip of the pen he was writing, looked up, pushed his frame, and said.
"Where is the source?" The majestic voice rose again, and everyone's eyes converged on the person at the top.
"The first speaker of the report is at the home of the head of the logistics department, Ross. And according to the investigation, Minister Ross was also found dead at home, which is suspected to be related to this incident. ”
To the right of the first chairman, the dignified middle-aged man, there were six figures. Unlike the bigwigs sitting below, these six people did not wear a military merit medal on their bodies, and they didn't even wear military uniforms, which was very casual.
Of these four men and two women, one of them is still known to Mo Tian, that is, one of the Seven Saints, the "husband killing".
The one who spoke just now was the cold and strong man who had investigated with Hua Sheng before. The tone is still so cold, but there is meticulousness in the words.
"Oh? Is Ross dead? The dignified man's face showed a hint of surprise, and his gaze involuntarily turned to the third seat on the left, that is, the head of the auxiliary war department, Luo Lun.
In this conference hall, the higher the person stands, the higher the status means.
"Is there such a thing as Minister Loren?"
Whether it is him or the others present, they all know in their hearts that Ross, the head of the logistics department, is actually appointed by Luo Lun by taking advantage of his power, although he is arrogant and arrogant on weekdays, but he is still under the supervision of his father, and there are still rules and regulations, and there has been no mistake. Even as a political enemy, he couldn't find any trouble for his son, so he could only earn one and close his eyes.
Rose's death was good news for them. But for his high-ranking Minister Loren, the armaments savings officer in charge of the entire war fortress, the impact would be terrifying.
When it came to the sad thing, Luo Lun's face was gloomy to the extreme, and he said in a deep voice: "It is true. ”
Before he could finish speaking, he spoke again.
"And the power outage this time, including the killing of my son, the suspects of the two accomplices have been identified."
Luo Lun's words, the entire highest conference room suddenly set off a big wave. Even the cold and strong man at the top couldn't help but look at him a little sideways.
Even they spent a day in the dark, and the other party had already set the suspect, which was really terrifying.
"Oh?" The First Speaker was slightly moved, raised his eyebrows in surprise, and said.
"There are already suspects? Who is it? ”
Hearing the question of the First Speaker, Luo Lun raised his head, his face changed instantly, and he became terrifying, like a lion whose cubs had been killed, and his eyes were firmly fixed on the person next to the First Speaker.
"Husband!" A word or two erupted from between his teeth, and this hatred was incompatible.
However, after the two words were spoken, the slightly noisy supreme conference hall was directly silent, and even the sound of a needle falling could be heard.
Not only were the bigwigs of all parties stunned, but even the first speaker in the highest position opened his mouth wide and couldn't believe his ears. All eyes were focused on the middle-aged man at the forefront of the "husband killing".
After a long time, a sudden laughter sounded in the silent conference room, which was particularly harsh in the empty hall.
"Are you an idiot?"
The one who spoke was the flower saint "Ye Cailing" standing on the left side of the husband's murder, this beautiful girl with two ponytails blinked her beautiful eyes, looked very serious, stared at Luo Lun and said.
The cold and strong man on the other side of her looked at Luo Lun coldly and said.
"Minister Loren, the Sage never regents. If the regent does it in the fortress, the Heavenly Lock on the World Tree will be the first to take action and capture it. You don't know this, do you? ”
The Heavenly Lock is a holy relic specially set up by the upper echelons of the War Fortress in order to limit the seven Sages of the Fortress, which overrides all the rules. Except for the one set up, none of the six of them escaped this rule.
The Sage has no real power, and even the civilians in the fortress of war know about it.
A high-ranking official not far from the First Speaker stood up, his face slightly gloomy, and explained seriously: "Minister Loren, I am afraid that you are wrong about this matter. From the time of the power outage, the first chairman went to check the movement of the Heavenly Lock for the first time in order to have an accident, but found nothing abnormal. ”
"yes, we've been careful to investigate several times, so there's no chance that someone has tampered with it." On the other side, an official who accompanied him also stood up and vetoed.
Seconded!
Seconded!
One entourage officer after another stepped forward.
Not far away, Minister Luo Lun's face turned iron-blue, his palms clenched into fists unconsciously, and the green tendons under the flesh were completely exposed, and they were pinched and rattled.
As for the bigwigs in other departments, they looked at each other with a smile, without saying a word, as if four big characters were printed on their faces...... Cunning and cunning.
Sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, this kind of thing is what they like the most.
Minister Loren had a gloomy face, looking at the situation in front of him, and did not speak for a long time, just waited quietly, waiting for one official after another to stand up.
At last, when no more officials stood up, Minister Loren raised his dark face, and a majestic voice slowly spat out of his mouth.
"I just want to ask a few questions."
The slightly drooping eyes glanced around, and there was no emotion in his expression.
"Who do you think is in the war fortress that can penetrate the defensive Thor net with a single blow?"
The words were continuous, and Loren's voice echoed in the ears of everyone in the hall.
The officials present looked at each other a few times and had the answer in their hearts.
Although the war fortress is large and has many controllers, there are only a few people who can break through the defenses of the Thor Network. And among these people, who can penetrate the Thor net with one blow, there is only one ...... "Wine Saint" in the entire war fortress!
The sky is difficult to drink, and Kunlun is defeated by fist.
This is the refined words of the strength of the husband in the fortress of war.
Once, when the army of the war fortress was in a conquest of Kunlun Mountain, it encountered a seventh-level desolate beast and slaughtered nearly thirty percent of the controllers of the entire crusade team alive, making people panic and no one dared to go up. However, just as the army was about to retreat, the husband appeared.
In the face of the sky beast, he just drank a pot of wine, and then threw a punch with all his strength.
Thousands of feet of Kunlun shake the mountains and rivers, and you can see the sky thousands of feet in the distance. Not only did the seventh-level desolate beast disappear, but even the tens of thousands of zhang high Kunlun Mountain was shattered under this blow.
The wine saint killed the town of Kunlun.
World War I canonization.
So when it comes to destructive power, there is only one person who can break the Thor net with one punch, and there is a husband who is known for his destructive power.
"Ask me again, who is the most prejudiced against me on weekdays?" Luo Lun said slowly again, his eyes were extremely fierce, containing a faint killing intent.
The crowd fell silent.
They had the answer in their hearts. The murder of the husband was not happy with Rus, which was already a public thing in the fortress of war.
Ross has an arrogant and domineering personality and looks down on the civilians at the bottom, while the husband has a resolute personality and likes to draw a sword to help when he sees injustice. When two extremes collide together, of course, there will be contradictions. A few of them have more than ten times, and the matter of Ross and the husband's murder is almost to the point of arguing in the main hall.
"Hehe, I believe you already have the answer." Loren glanced around, and when he saw the heads with their heads half-bowed, Loren smiled, smiling very clearly.
"So, let me tell you one more thing. On the morning of the incident, my husband and son had a fierce conflict with my son for a pair of civilian mothers and daughters in service, and almost got into a matter of life and death. ”
The incident is about the husband who came forward to save the mother and son, although there is a bit of exaggeration, but it is not false.
"Any civilian, to some extent, must accept the Fortress's assignment, even if it happens to be selected as a test subject."
"Instead of leading by example, the husband also obstructed the selection of test subjects in every possible way, ignoring laws and regulations, and forcibly left one of the two behind. My son, out of comradeship, did not pursue it further. ”
However, the woman who was taken away witnessed the whole murder by chance. Under our severe torture, instead of confessing the truth of the matter, we seemed to protect the murderer in an attitude. ”
Loren's gaze withdrew from his surroundings and fell back to the husband who was standing not far away, staring at him like a poisonous snake.
"This woman is a civilian, and she doesn't have any contact with nobles on weekdays, and according to the investigation, there are only a handful of people who have crossed paths with her in the entire war fortress, and the only one who is kind to her is her husband, who protected her daughter the day before...... ...... Big...... Person! ”
In the last four words, the voice is particularly gloomy.
"In order to repay the benefactor who protected her daughter, the woman refused to reveal half of his information even if she died, the logic was orderly, and the reason was clear."
"Motive, strength, time, characters, all four elements, I really can't think of any excuse for you to clear this suspicion!"
Luo Ren's gaze was firmly locked on the husband, and his cold eyes seemed to devour him.
After a period of analysis by Luo Lun, many officials in the hall nodded secretly.
The Minister of Auxiliary Warfare is worthy of being the Minister of Auxiliary Warfare, and he is well-founded and well-organized, and it is indeed convincing.
"It's just that this time he's probably going to be deflated......" However, the various officials in the high places showed gloating smiles.
Logically speaking, with the motive, strength, time, and characters, the Ministry of Security can basically convict and arrest them. However, this time is different, the suspect is not an ordinary person......
Who is the suspect?
One of the Seven Saints, the wine saint "Fu Ji", is said to be a man who can shake a mountain with one punch!
Even if you have sufficient evidence, if you want to arrest the other party, you have to go through the nod of the "being", and the "being" has been out on business recently, and is not in the fortress of war, and when he comes back, he estimates that the daylily is cold.
What's more, there is no actual evidence this time, just a theoretical suspect, and what can he do.
Sure enough.
Before the other officials could stand up and refute it, the first speaker at the top was already frowning. I saw him stare at his husband, then turn his head to look at Loren, frowning.
"Minister Loren, the Sage Slayer is one of the Seven Great Sages, and he is an upright person on weekdays, so your inference alone cannot be used as a testimony. What's more, even if it is a saint's matter, there is also the 'Heavenly Lock' at the highest place to restrict it, if you want to break through the defense of the Thor Net, it is impossible not to alarm the vigilance of the Heavenly Lock. You...... See what I mean? ”
The First Speaker quietly looked at Minister Loren, who was slightly below, took a deep breath, and said.
In the last sentence, he was completely reminding Luo Lun: The lock of the sky has not responded, and you have no evidence, so go back and wash and sleep first, don't make a mess!
However.
Minister Loren didn't seem to buy his account very much, and a sneer appeared on his face.
"Locks of the Heavens...... Hehe, who knows what hole cards he can hide from under the Sky Keyeye. ”
At this scene, the officials present shook their heads one after another. This time, it seems that Luo Lun is determined that his husband is the murderer of his son this time, and even the first chairman, who has always been neutral, can't persuade him.
However, just when the first chairman had a headache, there was a burst of laughter above the empty hall.
"Hahaha......"
Immediately after that, there were three words that blew everyone's ears.
"Good death!"
