Chapter 17: The Emperor of the Emperor (Part 2)

"I don't know... Why would he make such a request..."The Duchess in the video is crying frantically. However, the video was stopped at this point.

At the end of the video, the kidnappers list a series of technical requirements for live streaming, Your Excellency. ”

Prime Minister Carlo sat slumped in his chair, his mind buzzing, only to feel that the whole world had collapsed, and the boundless pressure was rushing towards him.

"Why are you doing this? It's a joke, isn't it?" said Prime Minister Carlo with a miserable laugh to his subordinates, "It's really funny, you guys scared me." Well, the farce should be over now~"

"It's true, Your Excellency. "The old councillor has shattered the Prime Minister's last hope.

Still unable to believe her ears, Carlo cried, "She just said about a pig?!Sex with a pig?!The kidnappers want me to go to a pig?!"

The scene was silent, and the subordinates hung their heads.

"There will also be a live TV broadcast," a voice reminded, "before four o'clock this afternoon." ”

"Who is behind it? Have I offended him? Did the Labour guys instigate it?" Carlo was a little confused, he just wanted to find the man behind the scenes, and shot him in the head.

The intelligence officer immediately replied, "We are collecting information on the suspect through various sources, and there is no progress at the moment." ”

"Your Excellency, I need to remind you that this request has already been made through the mouth of the Duke, and we are running out of time to react. The female press officer said with an excuse.

Carlo was furious, "I'm not going to go to a pig, let's be clear, this is absolutely not going to work! I'm the Prime Minister of the Empire!"

The four subordinates stood beside Carlo, watching him lose his temper, and had to hang his head and not look directly, so as not to embarrass the prime minister, but the atmosphere at the scene was even more embarrassing.

"Can you get in touch?"

"There was no dialogue, no email, no internet address, no direct contact with us, no way to negotiate. The councillor explained.

Prime Minister Carlo calmed down, and it seemed that in an instant, the courage returned to him, "Okay, the first thing to solve now is the matter of Duke Susanna, no matter what means are used, rescue her first, and then we will find information about the kidnappers." ”

"We assure you that everyone is doing their best. The female press officer said.

"Everyone, absolutely not, this matter must not be known to the public, and a special task force will be set up to deal with it and report directly to me. At the same time, be sure to keep it a secret from the media, they are terrible. Carlo got up and walked around the room, looking impatient.

"This matter is only allowed to be known to the people in this room, and it must not be passed on..."

Before Prime Minister Carlo could finish his words, he was interrupted by the clerk, "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, I'm afraid it's too late, and it's already spread outside." ”

"If it's hackers, then send someone to gag them and say it's a top national defense secret!" Carlo walked around impatiently, as if he saw a huge Godzilla ravaging London outside the house. "If they dare to spread the word, then what awaits them will be the worst prison, and I will throw them all in!"

"The video is from Youtube," the councillor interrupted Carlo's madness.

Carlo gasped and pressed his hands on the table, "What?!"

"An hour ago, an anonymous user uploaded it with an encrypted IP..."

Carlo slapped the coffee cup to the ground, "Then hurry up and give it to me!"

"After 9 minutes of uploading, it was discovered and deleted by the website staff. However, it was too late to stop its previous downloads, copies, and circulars. ”

"How many people have watched this video?"

"Deleted one, and immediately there were six identical videos uploaded in different communication groups..."

"How many, I'm asking how many!"

"150,000, Your Excellency, preliminary statistics show that at least 150,000 people have watched this video, and the TV station has also received it..."

"Did they put it on TV?"

"No, absolutely not. We have issued an emergency notice that it cannot be broadcast according to the highest standards, and they have agreed to cooperate. The intelligence officer said urgently.

But that's all temporary, and the incident is now a hot topic on Twitter. The clerk's words brought silence again.

"Fuck the Internet!" Carlo felt his legs go weak and sat back in his chair, "what's the emergency response from the office?"

"This is the first time this has happened, Your Excellency, there is no process to refer to. "The councillor brings despair.

--- dividing line---

Lu Xihua frowned and asked, "Do you really want to kill that princess?"

Kong Xuan smiled contemptuously, "It's just a little game, how can you kill her." I just used a small event to turn everyone into participants. Lu Jun will see how terrible the moral decline brought about by the information age is, these people are just puppets in human skin, an era of entertainment to death, useless to me, I want a warrior who can conquer the heavens. ”

Lu Xihua nodded, "You put the control of things in the hands of every ordinary person, let them control the direction of things, and decide the outcome of things through their behavior, this experiment is very brilliant." ”

"The world of science and technology developed by the combination of foreign civilizations and ancient civilizations has long been out of the imagination of the immortals, some are good, some are bad, I just wiped out the deformed civilization. Human beings think they have the truth, but how do they know that the so-called truth is just a few bones thrown by others. Their hearts are all broken, and you say that if I don't turn them into demons, won't it be a waste?"

"The road of the information age is still going astray~ You chose this Princess Suzanne because she is a deep user of Facebook. Millions of strangers can learn about the princess's every move through this convenient and fast information exchange platform. So compared to other people, her princess status is not just a title and a name, she is a living person in the general public, a friend they are familiar with and understand. Therefore, her painful experience and her dangerous situation are more likely to attract everyone's empathy and arouse everyone's emotions. Lu Xihua interpreted it from his own side.

Kong Xuan nodded, "The purpose of this little game is whether people will hurt another innocent person for the sake of a familiar person. Everyone hides behind the network, they speak at will, attack at will, and do not need to take any responsibility. This temptation will magnify the darkest side of the human heart, and only those demons and demons will like this kind of world. ”

--- dividing line---

Sure enough, the whole incident began to ferment on the Internet, in the face of the celebrity Princess Suzanne being kidnapped, and the kidnappers demanded not a ransom but an absurd relationship between the Prime Minister of the empire and a pig.

The absolute contrast, absurdity, deviation from human morality, and appalling behavior of the dignified and righteous Prime Minister and the disgusting pig have aroused the curiosity of countless people.

The discussion on the Internet has shifted from whether the prime minister should mate with pigs and the form of mating to the topic of "will they arrange sows?"

The greater the interest in how the mating takes place, the less concerned people are about the kidnapping itself, the motives of the kidnappers, the situation of the prime minister, and the solution. The turmoil led the mood of the imperial masses into a state of national madness and absurdity.

Sure enough, the media couldn't resist the thirst for powerful traffic, and as the incident continued to break out and public opinion surged, the news media, which should be synonymous with professionalism and rationality, gradually lost its rationality.

The TV station not only launched a random survey interview program with passers-by on TV, but also played the video of the princess being tied up on a loop on TV, and displayed various comments from netizens on a rolling basis.

The focus of the whole world is focused on the original starting point of the incident that is not watched live and ignored: whether as the prime minister of the empire, should he agree to the unreasonable demands of the kidnappers.

No one thought that they could stand up and do something to help the Prime Minister save the princess and save the Prime Minister from despair. Everyone became a spectator, waiting for events to develop towards whether or not they should see if they should see if they should develop this matter. The whole development of events was thus led astray.

The television station also listed the details of the filming requested by the kidnappers on television. Of course, other media outlets are not idle. The Daily Telegraph featured a full video and online interactive sessions, with The Sun featuring a video of Princess Susanna's kidnapping, The Guardian launching a blog with a live update and a short article on the symbolism of pigs in the history of the Empire.

Entertainment to death, the whole people carnival, all the faces are filled with excitement.

Countless media pursued it across the board, reported and interpreted it from multiple sources, and then various network editors, WeChat editors, and Weibo editors began to rub the heat, doing their best to relate to this hot event from all aspects.

Next, a small section of what appeared to be the princess's finger was refrigerated and sent to the TV station, and everyone's emotions began to go crazy.

After Princess Susanna's finger appeared on TV, a nationwide street survey showed that the number of people who believed that the prime minister should compromise with the robbers instantly changed from 28% to 86%, and the public's mood was so easily swayed.

Kong Xuan couldn't help but clap his hands and laugh when he saw this, "These so-called polls and referendums in which the minority obeys the majority are the simplest tools for fooling the people." Because the people at the bottom can't see the truth clearly, they just need to know that they can trample on authority and bring happiness, which is the most important thing. But they don't know that their so-called consciousness and consciousness are controlled by others. ”

When Lu Xihua heard this, he couldn't help but think of what He Shen said: "How can these people know what is right and wrong, only the people who are killed have a higher status than them and are worth a lot, and they are secretly happy." Today, the emperor killed Wang Kangwang, and the people of Hangzhou cheered. ”

How similar the two are compared.

Next, it was revealed that the prime minister was looking for a stand-in to fool the public, and the rescue operation of the official special operations team also failed.

At 10 Downing Street, a series of failed blows caused the prime minister to hold his head in frustration.

The press officer walked in with a serious look on his face, "Michael, you must..."

"Impossible!" cried Carlo.

"The people demand..."

"Fuck the people!"

"To the people of the Empire, you will be a man of fame and fame, and you will put your own honor and disgrace above the life of a girl. ”

"He won't let her go, maybe she's dead!" Carlo retorted.

"If she's still alive and you don't, he'll kill her and upload the video. When the time comes, everyone will see it, and the whole world will see it. Eventually, the crowd will be furious, and you will be ruined. I assure you, Your Excellency, that is definitely not what you want. The press officer persuaded that the time was approaching little by little, and various official measures were exposed, and there was no way out, so the prime minister could only go into battle himself.

Carlo glanced back at his clerk.

The clerk folded his hands helplessly and said, "The polls prove her point." ”

The press officer took the opportunity to say, "You will not just be a disgraced politician, you will be a personal stench for thousands of years." Now the people, the royal family, and the party are unanimously in favor of a compromise..."

"Fuck the party, I'm not going to do this prime minister!" Carlo was going crazy and a little incoherent.

The press officer took a step forward, stood face to face with the Prime Minister and said with a cold face, "If you refuse, as far as I know... The safety of you and your family will not be guaranteed... Think of your family..."

When Prime Minister Carlo heard this, his facial expression began to distort, his teeth clenched a few times, and finally he was deflated, "But..."

"No~ It's a pity, Michael... It's up to you to call the shot," the press officer coldly rejected the Prime Minister's appeal.

Carlo finally covered his face and burst into tears.

Finally, the time gradually moved towards 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and the entire London alley was empty, and countless people who had previously claimed that they would not watch the live broadcast were now staying in front of the TV.

But no one noticed that there was a woman in green in a trance walking on the street.

She is the kidnapped imperial princess in the video, and she was released twenty minutes ago, at 3:40, but no one knows it.

And at this moment, the millions of people in London, watching the TV Prime Minister and the pig making indecent movements, began to cheer, completely oblivious to the fact that the Prime Minister was sacrificing himself to save the princess of the country.

In their eyes, the Prime Minister's sacrifice is not a sacrifice, but like a big show, a wonderful show, and they are just spectators.

This is the end of the matter, Kong Xuan waved his hand, and countless times began to go backwards, and returned to 1990, in the Okunoin Temple of Koyasan, Japan.

"If this world continues to develop according to such standards, can it still be saved? It will only bring despair, so it is better to change it as soon as possible and let the elites of the Warring States manage this world. Kong Xuan said, "This is the purpose of my change, I can't wait any longer, take advantage of the fact that the information age has not yet come, strangle it, and turn to the demon path." ”

Lu Xihua was silent for a while, he did not agree with Kong Xuan's words in his heart, science and technology itself has no distinction between good and evil, it has always been the people who use it that are in action, and what needs to be changed is not science, but to guide people's hearts.

"The king is ready to resurrect the elite of Japan's Warring States, and then fuse the body of Shura to advance to a demon. What is the king going to do with countries other than Japan?" Lu Xihua promised Kong Xuan's matter, and he must do it.

"Of course it's divided, the hundred generals of the Warring States, at least one of the generals needs a fief, let them fight for it themselves, whoever fights down first will be whoever, and raise the blood of the people first. Kong Xuan said indifferently.

"What about the 1.2 billion people in China on the other side?"

"Those who don't surrender are killed, it's just a human race in a small world, don't care too much, those who surrender are transformed into demon clans as a backup. I am going to use this place as the foundation of the demon world, and I can't be sloppy, and I must use it all for the deity. ”

Lu Xihua frowned, "Give it to me, I'm of great use, I owe you a favor." ”

Kong Xuan thought of this and smiled, "That's right, I think Lu Jun also has a small world in his hands." In this case, you don't have to owe me any affection, if Japan exists in your little world, you can transfer Japan to me, is it feasible? ”

"Okay, it's a deal!"

The two powerhouses shook hands gently, representing the future of the two races.
