Chapter Thirty-Nine: Politics is a sword, and I am a fish
Scott's mind is in chaos!
In the interrogation room, he paced back and forth as he pondered what Bird had said. It seems that most of what Bird said is credible, and this is a bolt from the blue for him, instantly breaking the situation he has always thought he can control, and he thinks that he can hold on to the smooth handover of the next Guardian Chamber! Of course, he once had pessimistic thoughts, in case the bad situation in this world has affected the safety of several children around him, he is just pointing out a way for them to escape, and he will never tell them this big secret!
Even if you don't wait for the day of the handover, you'll be able to bring this secret to the grave!
Now this demon is actually naked and threatening himself, this person is really vicious, regardless of the safety of the people, for fear that the world will not be chaotic, in order to achieve the goal, it is simply to do everything!
Look at Bird, the poor kid, who is now being sent here as cannon fodder! There are many ways to convey information to themselves, but they chose an extreme way to convey it! Moreover, Bird has made himself a messenger, ignorant and fearless!
He felt that he had approached himself in this way, but he had not directly declared war on the government. It can be seen that this person will be a terrible opponent, and his purpose is to startle the snake and kill the heart!
The framework for the functioning of the world was built under the guidance of the Code of Contracting Parties, around which the government set up various departments to maintain order and allocate resources, guiding and regulating the initially chaotic society. After more than a century of continuous education in various centers, the social structure has been greatly improved. It can be said that the status of the Code is the Bible for all levels of society, and it is the cornerstone that guides the healthy operation of the whole world!
Now, he is openly challenging himself, and that is to challenge a righteousness that has lasted for more than a century. It seems that he wants to attack from the cornerstone of society, and he wants to shake and destroy her, and if he succeeds, the ideal edifice on which the entire society depends will collapse! The vassal government will be completely deprived of the shackles of faith that it serves, and the government machine will become an uncontrolled beast wreaking havoc everywhere, and wars will break out!
When the whole society loses its universal faith, the localities will revert to the situation before the restart, with their own affairs and self-government, until they cause humanity to be brought into the abyss of extinction again!
He took a deep breath, knowing that although he did not advocate violence, he was not cowardly! For this fragile society, I have been working hard to popularize the teachings, but the diversification of social development and adapting to the diverse changes of human nature are no longer controllable that I have always insisted on!
At this moment, he is no longer confident! Not only did Bird shock him with these few words, but he could also deeply understand from the series of changes that have occurred recently!
As for Bird, he arranged for Gu Feng to take care of it a little, and this person's life and death no longer have much meaning to this society!
As he was leaving, he asked Bird, "Do you know Qiu Pan?" Seeing Bird's dazed look, he knew that he had asked in vain! Bird asked him again, "Do you know the dragon?" How is he now? He was instructed by Qiu Ren to ask about Qiu Long when he had time, this child has been gone for a long time! Qiu Ren is also a sudden illness and rushed to the hospital, in case Qiu Long happens to be caught by the Senate or the Law Enforcement Department, as a hostage, he will not be in danger of life for the time being, at least he knows that this child is still alive!
Scott's brain is about to explode, are the few people who are uneasy to worry about all have the surname Qiu? This Qiu Long heard Gu Feng mention it, and he didn't think it was before, but now he is faintly worried!
Scott didn't answer!
Escorted back to the Senate by Gu Feng, along the way, he saw the patriarch frowning and his face was melancholy, Gu Feng didn't dare to speak, just concentrated on driving!
Back in the office, Scott immediately flipped around the office, looking for a photo that might help him sort out the doubts in his head!
Searched for a long time. Finally, at the top of the tall bookcase behind his desk, he found a dusty box, stood on a ladder, he gently brushed the dust off the lid, lifted the lid, and a yellowed photo lay quietly inside!
He raised his trembling hand and picked up the photograph, only to see three or two people on it, one on the left was tall and burly, with a resolute face, unsmiling, with short gray hair, wearing a black uniform; The one in the middle has silver hair, a beard, and a black uniform, with a serious expression; On the far right is my middle-aged self! Behind the three of them is the Law Enforcement Building, and only the background has not changed for so many years!
The date on the photo is the 110th year of the new calendar, and now it is the 151st year of the new calendar.
On the left is Qiupan, and in the middle is Foster. Stan, roughly counted, both of them were about the age of a sixtieth birthday at the time! Recalling the scene when he first met the two, he was already middle-aged at the time, and had served the previous Senate for many years. The patriarch is really a master of the world, basically all affairs are handed over to him to take care of, but the patriarch does not care about the world, hinting that he wants to step down from the position of patriarch several times, but he is just alone! At that time, the environment was different from now, it was simply smooth and peaceful, the government was busy with construction, the people were busy with production, the military and the government were united, and the people were obedient, just like the joy of fish and water!
At that time, Scott was fighting with Old Feng and Curry for the seat of the Senate of the Secret Academy, and for several years, he had been fighting openly and secretly, canvassing for votes everywhere, and he was very busy! Nai has a high position of power, and without the consent of the majority of the Senate and the government to vote, he will not be able to ascend to the throne smoothly! Although he tried his best, he still lacked a few votes!
At an enlarged meeting to discuss the doctrine of propaganda, held in the Law Enforcement Department, Scott took the place of the senators, and in the midst of his depression, he met the two men! At that time, Foster was already the head of the law enforcement department, and Qiu Pan was the deputy minister, and the two had been running the law enforcement department for many years, and they had a tacit understanding! He was a few years older than Foster, and the two were about forty years old at the time, but they both had their own opinions on the propagation of doctrine and faith.
The so-called meetings, especially retreats such as studying policies, are perfunctory and crowded, and they just hope that they will end quickly! Unexpectedly, these two people participated in the enlargement meeting for the first time, and they had a lot of insights, and it seemed that they had been doing this homework for a long time! The two of them came up with detailed survey data to corroborate, and the suggestions put forward were practical and feasible, which made Scott greatly admired! The one-day meeting was extended for two more days to end with the promotion of the two men!
The result was naturally a happy one: the results of the meeting chaired by Scott were unanimously approved by all sectors of society, and the prestige naturally rose! And Foster and Qiu Pan quickly became political stars at that time!
After the meeting, the three of them enthusiastically took this historic photo at the mouth of the law enforcement department.
A few years later, Scott unsurprisingly became the patriarch of the Secret Academy! He had a closer relationship with these two men!
In the years that followed, the two remained Scott's mentors and friends, and the three talked the most about the doctrine of the faith! Gradually, he found that the more detailed the discussion between the three of them, the more differences there were, and as a junior brother, he stopped arguing when it was critical! On the contrary, these two people often fight for blushing and thick necks, and when they are excited, they slap the table and get up, and they break up unhappily!
As their affairs increased, the three of them got together less and less. Until one day, Qiu Pan gathered the three of them together and said some pleasant words to each other, which made people scratch their heads!
The next day, Qiu Pan evaporated from the world and disappeared without a trace, as if there had never been such a person in this world!
That year was the 130th year of the new calendar!
Now, another man with the surname Qiu popped up and said something horrible that reminded Scott of Qiupan!
"After so many years, this old brother has disappeared without a trace, and now two troubles with false surnames have appeared out of thin air, which is really annoying!" Scott's brain hurts again!
Looking at the photo, he thought about it, the people in the photo were vivid, but he couldn't speak, although the three people were all surnamed Qiu, he really couldn't connect them exactly!
I saw that the kid Jin was sticking his head out at the door, probably seeing that he was pondering, and he didn't dare to disturb himself! So he beckoned and shouted, "Son, what's the matter?" ”
Jin walked into the room quickly, looked around nervously, and said, "My lord, it's time for dinner!" ”
Scott asked, "What about the wind?" Why isn't he there? "After being accustomed to serving for many years, he still recognizes Gu Feng's child!
Jin said: "Brother Feng has something at home, it seems that his wife is in a hurry and has something, he asked me to serve you and have a good dinner, and I will be back in a while!" I guess maybe his kids are coming home from vacation, and he wants to be reunited! ”
Scott smiled slightly, the government has centralized the children and raised them in a unified manner, so that they can go home for a week every year to reunite with their families, which does not seem to be a bad thing! If you meet a person with a strong sense of family and go home to accompany his family every day, this work will be greatly delayed! He doesn't have a family, and of course there is no rule that the patriarch can't start a family, but like the previous patriarch, he thinks that starting a family can only bring burdens, and starting a career is a major event in life! So, he didn't know what family really was, and his whole life was basically spent in the Senate! He regarded the Senate as a family, and the ancient style and these people as his own children, and when they didn't see each other for a while, they wanted to call to arrange things!
What he didn't know was that this kind of feeling was so different from the ancient style! Gu Feng is basically with him day and night, and he can only get together with his children for a week a year!
The dining room is on the third floor, his study is on the second floor, and the interrogation room where Bird is located is in the Temple Guard building in the third district!
Jin led the way in front and came to the third floor, where he saw two strange guards in beige combat uniforms holding the door, their bodies stiffened, and their eyes turned to look around! Seeing Jin and the patriarch coming one after the other, he nodded to Jin who was walking in front!
Entering the restaurant, a plate with a lid on the table before meeting him, Scott frowned, and said to himself: This chef is serving the food too quickly! If the ancient style is here, it will definitely not be like this! He always brings the food to the table at the right time! looked at Jin again, and Jin knowingly pulled out the dining chair in front of the table and sat down with the patriarch! He bowed slightly and said, "Please use it slowly!" ”
Kim slowly exited the restaurant and closed the door gently!
Lift the lid, and inside is still his favorite braised lamb chops, accompanied by some berries and vegetables! After working for most of the day, he felt hungry, so he picked up his knife and fork and reached for the plate!
After a few bites, he felt a slight "tick-tock" sound, there is no mechanical clock in this restaurant, where did this sound come from? He stopped his chewing mouth and concentrated on listening to the sound, which seemed to come from under the plate, and he curiously lifted the plate, and saw that the bottom of the plate was flat and clean as a mirror!
He moved his chair back and bent down to look at it, and the sight frightened him: a dial was glued to a bundle of explosives, and the hands on the dial were slowly returning to zero!
In a frenzy, he immediately stood up and ran towards the door, only to feel that the doorknob was closed, and he tried his best to pull it, but he saw that the two handles outside the door were entangled in an iron chain, and a cold cold light came out of the crack in the door!
Scott yelled, "Tough old thief! Just as he was about to slap his hand against the door, a huge force behind him shook him away!
Before his consciousness dissipated, he vaguely saw many figures coming and going in front of him, dangling in front of his eyes, like floating souls! These souls spread their arms, grabbed their unconscious shoulders and shook them, shouting like angels leading the way!
Slowly, he felt the whole world darken! He exhaled softly, and the endless darkness pressed over like a mountain!
Zone 3, the Temple Guard Building.
Half an hour ago, two servicemen in beige combat suits came to the place where Bird was being held! Holding a warrant stamped by Senator Scott's personal seal, it was said that the senator wanted to interrogate the prisoner alone!
The guards were puzzled, and the arraignment of the prisoners was signed and ordered by Captain Gu Feng, and this practice was always carried out; Second, the senators never interfered in the enforcement of the law by the guards, but this time it was also a precedent. Seeing that these two people had unfamiliar faces and arrogant attitudes, the guards muttered: Recently, there have been many new faces for Captain Gufeng, and I am afraid that they are the personal companions of the old men of the Senate, although they do not comply with the procedures, they can never afford to offend! Seeing that the seal on the order was bright red, I thought that even if I had great courage, no one would dare to use the seal of the patriarch!
Under the aggressive and unreasonable urging of the two soldiers, the guard opened the cell door without thinking, and watched the two soldiers push and shove, kick and kick Bird out, and when he saw them walk out of the door from a distance, the guard was still trembling in his heart, but he was glad that he did not disobey the two old soldiers, otherwise he would have ended up roughly the same as Bird in the future! But he forgot to report to Gu Feng
