Chapter 20: Street Assassination
Juan recognized where the ostrich congressman was standing in the video.
Four years ago, he had heard a speech by a candidate at that fork in the road.
I remember that he was in a surging mood, applauding enthusiastically and shouting "human supremacy".
But now seeing this scene, I don't know why, Hu Anxin actually felt a little disgusted.
"Time flies so fast, it's the year of the presidential campaign again, Juan, which party do you support, the 'Ostrich' Conservative Party or the 'Vulture' Phalangist?"
"As a main star, I have always supported the 'ostrich' in previous years, after all, the Conservative Party is the ruling party, the main star is their base camp, and everyone around me supports the Conservative Party. But this year I don't really want to vote. What about you, which side are you on? ”
"I'm a Vulture advocate," Berner patted the energy weapon on his waist, with a scavenging vulture printed on his coat, "The Phalangists are supported by the military department, and as paramilitaries, we all support the Vultures." ”
Berner switched the video to a medium labeled "vulture".
Juan saw a beautiful woman in camouflage doing an interview on the street.
She stopped a middle-aged man with a scar on his face.
"Do you support the Conservatives or the Falangists?"
"Of course it's a spear, it's definitely a spear!"
"Can you explain your reasons to the audience?"
"I'm a war veteran, I've shed blood and been wounded for my country, you see!"
The man pointed to the scar on his face and leaned towards the camera.
Juan saw that the skin was scaly like a fish.
"The injuries I suffered while fighting the rebel fishmen, their genes mixed into my body, made me look like this.
"I hate those fishmen, but I hate rotten bureaucrats even more.
"They forced me to retire and refused to pay me the retirement pay I deserved!"
The beauty seemed surprised: "Retired soldiers should have retirement benefits, why doesn't ZF, which is in power in power of the Conservative Party, give a retirement pension to a veteran who retired due to injury?" ”
The man exclaimed, "Because they say I am not a pure human being!" Not eligible for the welfare of humanity! What a,! Fuck the ostriches! ”
"That's great! Friends, did you see that? This is the ZF of the current Conservative Party in power, they are rotten like a piece of rotten meat!
"If it continues to rot, the entire Human Alliance will rot!
"And what we have to do is cut this rotten meat off our healthy bodies!
"That's what the Falangists want to lead everyone to do!
"Look at our badge, a scavenging vulture, we're going to wipe out all the rotten stuff like this vulture!"
"Well said!" Bernard clapped vigorously, as if the host on the other side of the projection could hear it.
Juan looked at the green hair reflected in the vodka martinis, and he felt that he was no different from the fish scale man.
"Bang!"
The door to the bar was slammed open.
Soma, the stationmaster, ran in in a panic.
"Something is wrong! Quick, switch the channel to ZF Media! ”
Berner quickly switched channels.
Juan was familiar with the street again, but there were no congressmen who were speaking, only chaos.
People on the side of the road were screaming, and several bodyguards were running in one direction.
There's a beautiful woman who gets knocked over, revealing two beautiful long legs, but no one cares.
"What's going on?"
"Assassination! It's an assassination! The parliamentarian was assassinated! ”
Soma gasped and sat down, asked the bartender for a caramel-colored Scotch whisky, and poured it down.
"What's wrong with the world? Why did it become so tyrannical?! ”
Berner initiates projection playback.
Legislators with ostrich badges are giving impassioned speeches in the streets.
Suddenly, there was a flash of bright light!
The councillor half-turned and looked back.
Another flash of bright light!
The councilor's chest was blown open, and the heart inside, I don't know if it was scorched, or if it was just like that, black.
The councillor curled up and fell to his knees like cooked dried shrimp.
Then there was chaos.
Soma's flesh trembled: "Terrible, it's terrible!" Bring me another glass of whiskey, no ice. ”
Juan also held the Tega Martini with a slightly trembling hand and drank half a glass in one gulp.
In the entire Human Alliance Star Chart, the security of the main star has always been the best.
Compared to other planets, the weapon control of the main star is strict!
Even gunpowder weapons are strictly controlled, and only adults with no serious criminal records can legally carry guns with their ID cards.
The All-Union Rifle Association has appealed several times to the main star to lift restrictions on infant gun ownership, but they have all been rejected.
But judging from the footage just now, the assassin must have used an energy weapon, which is absolutely impossible to buy legally at any gun shop.
At this time, clouds rolled over the savanna, and suddenly it rained heavily.
In the dimly lit bar, three humans drank in silence.
A portable projector on the bar played the details of the assassination scene over and over again.
Later in the evening, information about the assassin, as well as the supposed secret transcript of the interrogation, appeared on the front page of a media that appeared to have a backstage, and was subsequently reprinted by other media outlets.
At the same time, all kinds of gossip appear on different platforms, all of which are clearly spoken, making it difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood.
The three people in the bar moved to the restaurant.
Soma took a sip of red wine: "If you want me to say, the root cause is the difference in political philosophy.
"The assassin is a retired veteran with humanoid genes in his body, and he is full of hatred for the Conservative Party, which emphasizes that humanity must remain genetically pure."
Soma lowered her voice and added, "I suspect that the Falangists are behind it, you know, energy weapons are not so easy to obtain, but for the Falangists, who have a good relationship with the military department, it is not difficult. ”
"I think your accusations against the Falangists are unjust." Bernard, who was cutting the steak, retorted, "The media reported that the assassin killed the congressman for religious reasons, and it had nothing to do with politics." ”
"There's nothing that has nothing to do with politics, especially in a presidential campaign year."
"But what gain can the Falangists have in this matter? The Conservative Party is not the only one member of parliament. ”
"It was the Conservative MPs who died, not the Falangists, so could it be that the Conservatives did it?"
"Possibly, maybe it's the black hand of the Conservative Party's rival MPs."
The atmosphere at the dinner table was a little awkward, and Juan, who didn't say a word and only cared about eating the food, silently withdrew the hand that was stretched out to the oyster.
Soma changed the subject: "In the final analysis, it is the genes of humanoid creatures that are to blame!" ”
Berner agreed, foaming at the flesh, "Yes, there's no doubt about it, the media reported on the man's large dark green skin, apparently, he was contaminated with goblin genes. ”
Soma clenched her fists and said, "That's why we say we must be very vigilant against humanoids, as well as against all genetically contaminated humans!" ”
