Apocalyptic Forecast - Chapter 1424
The thunder disappeared without a trace.
It was as if even the rain was staying away.
In the narrow space inside the window, there was such silence in this short moment.
But in those turbid pupils, there was clearly confusion and helplessness.
“I know, you will have doubts. Your doubts are at the top of all the people I refer to, and you are questioning everything all the time – but what can I lie to you?”
His fingers flicked and he pressed the button: “Trick you to help me refill a tank of oxygen?”
“Who knows.”
Ai Qing held the umbrella and said categorically, “Perhaps, there is part of the truth in what you said. But there must be some rules that you didn’t tell me.
Don’t ask me for evidence, I’m still just doubting you, I can’t trust you. ”
She said, “You must be hiding something from me.”
“Do you want to overweight?”
The scapegoat blinked and sighed helplessly: “What do you want to know? The specific rules? Those are all irrelevant things. I can tell you now: Do not interfere with the operation of London, do not use the authority’s It must not cause irreversible damage, nor harm the lives of innocent people…”
Ai Qing lowered her eyes to listen, and for a long time, nodded her head clearly.
“Sounds decent.”
“Actually the same,” replied the scapegoat. “I’m for fish, but you better not be greedy.”
“No, don’t worry, I don’t like taking too much advantage, and I don’t question the rules you said.”
Ai Qing seemed to smile and said slowly, “What I’m questioning is the plan in your mouth, the regeneration plan in your mouth—”
The raised fingers twitched for a moment.
“Don’t be in a hurry to argue.”
Ai Qing tapped the umbrella with her fingers and said slowly, “Don’t worry, I have never placed any hope in the conscience of the Pilot Society, nor have I doubted the purpose of the regeneration plan.
Rather, it’s just a matter of doubting the process you take for granted…”
She said, “In terms of pure hunting, this is a complete hunting game. It is true that the relationship between the participants is naturally hostile, and the propositions and camps they represent are doomed to death.
The problem is, this is only from a tool perspective, right?
From a policy maker’s point of view, it doesn’t make sense at all. ”
She stared at the face of the scapegoat, looked at any slight change in expression, and said slowly: “It’s already what time, does the authority still have to learn from Rome thousands of years ago, relying on a group of gladiators to live and die. To compete for sovereignty?
Why not flip a coin? ”
“At least it’s easier that way,” she asked.
“It’s a necessary part of the calculation.”
The scapegoat’s fingers flicked, speeding up his speech: “I said it earlier, what you represent is not yourself, and your struggle will be invested in the tide of thought in the sea of silver…”
“so what?”
Ai Qing interrupted him again, and asked indifferently, “Can calculations in the Sea of Silver still control the decisions of the participants in reverse?
You’re trying to cover up, scapegoat. ”
Suddenly, there was a certain brilliance in her eyes that could not be ignored.
The soul is moving, thinking itself.
Following the few clues in the darkness, she was exploring forward through lies and fog.
“If the chaotic operation of the Silver Sea is ignored, what is happening now is a downright proxy war.
The reason why the regeneration plan does this is to use the name of the Pioneer Association to intensify the conflict first, and then partially resolve it in the process…
In other words, as long as the contradictions caused by the opposing positions can be resolved, let alone fighting, even if everyone is guessing, there is no problem.
So, it’s not about winning or losing.
It’s about getting the institution represented by the other party to give up its own claims and positions, right?
Therefore, it can be deduced that the necessary condition for the completion of the regeneration plan is ‘unification’. ”
She pinched her chin and said to herself: “If you consider this as a benchmark, maybe, there are deeper rules and secrets, maybe… But that’s not the focus now.”
After a slight pause, she raised her voice and asked coldly, “For the participants, the annihilation of the body is probably just the last resort, right?”
“…”
The scapegoat’s fingers stagnated in the air, seemingly silent.
But Ai Qing didn’t need his affirmation or response.
Thinking continues.
Following the preconditions that can be identified, move on.
Yes.
If there is no room left to hunt and kill, it is nothing more than a game of gu raising.
Killing can only destroy the body
Dear, this chapter is not over, there is another page ^0^.
But the idea remains.
Thoughts cannot be killed, and even if all opponents are eliminated, it is impossible for the institutions and positions they represent to give up their claims.
“That’s what you’re hiding, scapegoat.”
Ai Qing raised her eyes again, and said clearly: “You hide the possibility of negotiation and communication, and want me to misunderstand the rules and purposes, go around to make enemies, and then attract firepower and cause damage… Finally, become a public enemy.”
She asked directly, “You didn’t plan to form an alliance, did you?”
“I admit, I have reservations, but no one is going to play all the cards at the beginning.”
The scapegoat’s finger pressed slowly and seriously, “For me, an alliance is a necessary prerequisite. I have no choice. My own weakness is doomed. I cannot rely on myself to win.”
“But you can choose other collaborators, can’t you?”
Ai Qing was unmoved: “The promises and guarantees of words are too weak, the scapegoat, you have paid nothing, and you have no sincerity that can be convincing.
One thing I can confirm is that even if it is an alliance, to you, my existence is just an ‘abandoned child’.
You deliberately used the oil tanker to expose my existence, use me to attract firepower, let all parties test me, and make me feel like I am the enemy of the world.
In the end, he won my trust by explaining the mystery, and misled my understanding of the rules. Even if I form an alliance with you, what awaits me in the end can only be used as a bait to attract firepower, right? ”
“It’s just your guess.”
The scapegoat retorted: “Too one-sided, I have paid enough sincerity, if you still…”
card wipe.
A soft sound.
His words came to an abrupt end.
“There is no need to promise other conditions. The scapegoat, it is actually very simple to deny this speculation.”
Ai Qing raised the screen of her phone, pointed it at his eyes, and said to him, “Just let me send this out.”
At that moment, the pupils of the scapegoat contracted subconsciously.
On the screen is a photo of Ai Qing and herself.
The upload has been completed on the public platform, just click the last send.
But at that moment, the other hand under the thin quilt clenched his fist silently.
Make all the signals in the entire hospital completely cut off!
And at that moment, he saw Ai Qing’s smile.
So mocking.
Her guess was confirmed.
“What’s wrong? Are you so cautious about posting a photo of your celebration?” Ai Qing looked down contemptuously, “It seems that sincerity is nothing more than that.
Or…”
She paused and asked curiously, “Are you also a replacement who hides in the dark?”
The scapegoat did not speak, as if giving up the argument.
And Ai Qing already had the answer.
“I guessed right – it wasn’t just me who started late, there was another ‘unlucky guy’, but you got in a little earlier than me.
Don’t be in a hurry to argue…”
A USB flash drive appeared on Ai Qing’s fingertips: “Look, working in an overhead agency is the only benefit, and I’m well informed. The time I spent hiding in the corner was enough for me to investigate what I’ve been doing these days. Clean up those things that arrive.
Including, in the near future, all the abnormal personnel changes in London – including me, more than hundreds of people have been dismissed without warning and without reason.
It’s like being swept away by their respective factions… At first, I thought it was a purge initiated by the decision-making room, but now it seems that this is also a necessary prerequisite for the regeneration plan to restrain the scale of conflict, right? ”
The USB flash drive turned lightly in her hand, like a magnet, attracting the attention of the scapegoat: “I think it must include you.”
She compared the information in her memory and greeted softly: “Is that right, Mr. Clemens, the executive director of the Special Items Management Division of the Border Customs Prosecutor’s Office?”
“…”
Under the oxygen mask, there was a turbid sigh, as if giving up something, and flicked his fingers: “You are indeed a natural investigator, Ai Qing. With only your own ability, you can investigate to this extent. Those puppets of the Pioneer Society must love you to death.”
Ai Qing said indifferently, “I don’t think so.”
“Unfortunately, being too smart is sometimes not good.” Clemens, the scapegoat, closed his eyes. “Smart people tend to be smart.”
At that moment, in the narrow ward, a faint gray-black silhouette floated in front of Ai Qing.
Thunder light crossed in the clouds, illuminating the strange things entrenched in the ward in a fleeting moment.
Innumerable strands, floating like willows, travel through the air.
The huge monster, like a beast or an octopus, opened its orange-yellow eyes. Extends from the shriveled body of the scapegoat
Dear, this chapter is not over, there is another page ^0^, block inside and outside.
Then, the earth shook.
In the hospital shrouded in mist and drizzle, nothing seemed to happen, but after passing through that layer of illusion, one after another dazzling light could be seen falling from the sky.
Like a long nail, it blocked all source quality fluctuations.
The weight of terror descended.
The power from the Great Secret Ritual runs here, constructing an invisible cage, pressing all the resisters onto the chairs. The air seemed to solidify, turned into steel, and even breathing was not allowed.
In the chaotic hall of the hospital, on the chair between the whining and moaning guards, Huai Shi paused slightly as he flipped through the magazine, feeling the heavy pressure on him.
There was also a deep barrier between him and Ai Qing.
His brows furrowed slightly.
“This is really…”
He sighed softly and closed the magazine: “It’s a bit difficult.”
boom!
The whole hospital shook suddenly.
The terrifying shock spread.
From the feet of Huai Shi.
.
“It’s useless, do you think I’ll be on guard against the tools you brought?”
Clemens sneered: “As a patient, there is always something to protect yourself, right?”
In the cage outlined by the faint rays of light, Ai Qing raised her eyes and looked around her surroundings in a leisurely manner: “It seems that it should be the authority given to the border customs, right?
Mobilize the power of the Great Secret at any time to block and isolate dangerous objects and stowaways.
It seems to be called the threshold of the abyss? ”
“I underestimated you, Ai Qing.”
The scapegoat’s pupils stared at the opponent in front of him: “You are not a **** that can be used, but a threat that cannot be ignored, I have begun to regret my plan…
So, as the investigator of the pilot meeting and the representative of the border customs, can you please leave the stage here? ”
“The big secret?”
After confirming the strength to restrain her, Ai Qing nodded her head clearly, “It seems that a lot of things have been saved.”
In front of Clemens, Ai Qing reached out and reached into her arms, but what she pulled out was not a weapon, but a simple and simple-looking pen.
Delicately, turning between her five fingers, the bright brass reflected the thunder light outside the window, illuminating her pupils.
“Finally, just a reminder, scapegoat.”
“Don’t underestimate the ‘tool’ you call it,” she said.
“Don’t underestimate me.”
Snapped!
A crisp crack sounded, just before her raised fingertips.
At that moment, the suppression and blockade from the Great Secret Ritual were self-defeating!
The threshold of Tianyuan disappeared without a trace!
Behind the oxygen mask, Clemence’s expression twitched, not terrified or dazed, but unbelievably sluggish – the breakdown of his blockade was not overrun by some stronger force…
Instead, it was cancelled by some higher authority!
“Then let’s take a guess.”
Ai Qing said: “How can I enter the system of the Dominion Bureau again after being dismissed from my post, and get all the personnel changes in the whole of London in the past few months?”
Under the oxygen mask, that sunken lip pressed tight.
gritted teeth.
Like an angry beast.
“Thanks to your explanation, I know how much trouble I have been dumped by my immediate boss.”
Recalling the meaningful conversation in the smoking room yesterday afternoon, she could no longer restrain her sigh: “That old woman is really… unlikable.”
At this moment, in Ai Qing’s hand, on that simple and unpretentious pen, the logo of the overhead agency silently glowed with fluorescence.
This is the certification from the Administration Bureau, which represents the certification of the top person in charge of the overhead agency, and the authority granted by Ms. X herself!
Just before that brief conversation ended, the old woman who had been overlooking everything from start to finish reached out and patted her on the shoulder.
Then, in front of her, he opened her cardboard box, took away her pen at will, and put his own in it.
In this way, to put it lightly, the authority to read all the classified information of the Astronomical Society was thrown into her hands.
Granted his own expectations and trust.
At this moment, in the management sequence of the Great Secret Ritual, Ai Qing’s authority was already equal to Ms. X herself. Even if she does not have the right to operate the Great Secret Ritual, at the same time, the Great Secret Ritual Zarathustra cannot restrict her personal freedom.
Because she herself is the watcher of the Great Mystery.
The restrictions of the border customs could not take effect on her. Before she knew this responsibility, she had become the spokesperson of the overhead agency.
“Nice trap
Dear, this chapter is not over, there is another page ^0^, unfortunately, it is used in the wrong place. ”
She said, “Then, do you have to fight again?”
“…”
In the long silence, only the scapegoat on the hospital bed breathed hard. After a long time, the monster that enveloped the entire room disappeared silently.
Only intermittent sound.
Those were the words from Clemens himself, sharp and hoarse: “I didn’t expect to be defeated by this kind of thing.”
“No, you have to thank it, because with it, you have the chance to fail.” Ai Qing reminded kindly: “Otherwise, do you think it would be ‘I’ who came to visit you today?”
At that moment, Clemens’ fingers spasmed.
From the smile on the corner of the woman’s mouth in front of her, she could smell a dangerous aura that could not be ignored.
It was like looking at her archives—the cities saturated with cluster missiles, the dazzling colors of the flames, the burning buildings, and the coke and dust in the wreckage.
If there is no possibility to control the situation, then why not burn all uncontrollable anomalies?
“madman!”
He squeezed the sound out of his teeth.
“Thank you for the compliment.”
Ai Qing smiled and looked down in front of the hospital bed: “Now, do you have a choice, scapegoat, let me unplug you, or choose to cooperate obediently?”
Clemens indifferent: “Cooperation is equal.”
“It’s okay to look equal.”
Ai Qing told him, “Actually, there are some that are particularly unequal.”
Clemens’ eyes changed, but in the end, he couldn’t help but laugh out loud: “Will you be relieved?”
“You’ll put me at ease, won’t you?”
Ai Qing raised her wrist and glanced at the time: “But there is not much time left for you.”
Clemens was silent for a moment, then said, “Okay, I can…”
“Five.” Ai Qing counted down.
“I’ll give up my position.” Clemens spoke faster.
“Four.”
Ai Qing was still counting down.
Clemens stiffened for a moment, “If you don’t believe me, I can only…”
“three.”
The countdown continues.
“Justice!” The scapegoat raised his voice, “With the Bureau as a witness, the central decision-making room can do justice for us, I…”
“one.”
After skipping the pointless waiting, Ai Qing indifferently reached out and held the extracorporeal circulation tube: “It’s a pity, farewell, Mr. scapegoat.”
“and many more!”
Clemens widened his eyes, bloodshot all over his pupils, and almost shouted, “I admit defeat!”
He said: “I admit defeat!!”
At that moment, a crisp prompt sounded from Ai Qing’s phone.
Announcement from the pilot meeting.
“Tsk.”
Ai Qing pouted, wondering if it was regret or unhappiness.
I didn’t expect that there is such a convenient way to exit.
She released her palm holding the pipe, took out a tissue and carefully wiped her fingers: “To be honest, it’s a little embarrassing to bully a patient like this.”
Seeing that Ai Qing finally let go, Clemens’s tense body finally relaxed, and he was lying on the bed breathing hard, as if he could not escape.
Now that I heard the words, I couldn’t help but maliciously: “Don’t you know shame?!”
“Don’t worry, I’m disabled.”
Ai Qing comforted her thoughtfully: “If we kill each other, it can only be regarded as dog-eat-dog, and we can’t get to the moral high ground. Just treat it as normal ‘workplace bullying’, you are already an adult, don’t be naive like a child.
I’d say it’s an unforgettable shame to be beaten by a **** less than half your age. ”
Clemens didn’t speak again, and closed his eyes indifferently.
Ai Qing turned and left.
However, after pushing the door open, he suddenly turned his head and asked curiously, “By the way, in the future, you shouldn’t take revenge on me, ‘senior’?”
Clemens sneered, trying to say something, but heard her voice.
“Actually, revenge doesn’t matter, but please remember—”
In the dim light outside the door, Ai Qing’s eyes were buried in the shadows. She looked at him and said her final goodbye: “I will die.”
The door is closed.
Her footsteps faded away.
The scapegoat on the hospital bed gasped, and after a long time, finally closed his eyes.
Weakly let go of the pistol under the blanket.
In the silence, only the beeping sound remained.
.
.
Dear, this chapter is not over, there is another page ^0^
When Ai Qing held an umbrella and returned to the hall, she saw Huai Shi sitting in the ruins.
“nailed it?”
Huai Shi raised his head, slightly surprised: “So fast?”
“Yeah.” Ai Qing nodded, “But something happened, you…”
“I’ve already made a reservation here, supper!”
Huai Shi frowned and swiped her phone: “I read the comments that in addition to noodles, they also have lobsters in season, and their arms are so long… Do you prefer grilled cheese or minced garlic?”
“…”
In the weird and short silence, Ai Qing couldn’t help sighing silently as she looked at this guy’s indifferent expression.
“Just right.”
Finally, she made up her mind:
“I still have something to tell you.”
Dear, this chapter is over, I wish you a happy reading! ^0^
