Bulwark of Light

Chapter 179 The Apostles
The circular curtain slowly opened, and the soft light of the auditorium fell from the heads of every audience. This landmark building built a hundred years ago has a long history. Many years ago, Wuzhou was not so peaceful.

The metropolitan area has experienced many wars.

The name of the Freedom Auditorium is precisely because of the end of the last war. A certain leader gave the metropolitan area complete liberation and "freedom". Over the past hundred years, the auditorium has undergone layers of washing, and the outer stone walls have been renovated several times. times, but the spiritual core has never changed.

free.

"I can understand what you said at the election ceremony..."

"It's also understandable that you chose to close the door to me in Lion Lane..."

The old man sitting next to Lu Nanzhi only wore a simple suit today. Because of his age, his mental outlook did not look good, like a flickering ray of weak flame that could be extinguished at any time.

The old man looked at the center of the stage on the circular curtain, and his voice was calm: "I can understand everything you have done, just as I understand the meaning of this auditorium. Most people have fought bloody battles for freedom. Now you choose to stand up, but also for freedom."

Lu Nanzhi didn't refute, she just listened quietly.

Over the years, her relationship with Zhao Xilai has always been very simple. The teacher and the students, one is teaching, the other is listening. This is not the first time that this kind of dialogue has been held, but... the dialogue in the Liberty Auditorium is the first time.

"I'm very pleased that you didn't continue to hide behind the wooden door of Lion Lane, but chose to attend the ball and talk to me again..." The old man said softly, "My child, you have always been free, and the flowers are not as good as you are." It will become your bondage, it will only become your wings, allowing you to fly higher, this is the foundation and support that so many people dream of, why destroy it with your own hands?"

"Against the bill...doesn't mean destroying the banner."

Lu Nanzhi shook her head.

"Do you know... what is the current situation in Dongzhou?" The old man smiled. He looked at Lu Nanzhi. The "Madame" in the metropolitan area has been famous all these years, but in fact, he has put in a lot of hard work behind the scenes.

Every time he saw this woman grow up, he felt both gratified and helpless... because a dark premonition told him that one day Lu Nanzhi would stand on the opposite side of him.

The stronger you teach your students.

On the day of rebellion, it will be even more difficult.

"There is no harmony between the five continents, because the opinions of the highest seats have split..."

"The awakening speed of the black spot is getting faster and faster. If it continues to spread like this...the five continents will be engulfed by disorder. It's only a matter of time. Maybe I won't see that day, but what about the people behind? They How much time is left?"

The old man said sadly and slowly: "So... those who hold the fire have decided to follow the suggestion of 'Deep Sea' and try to promote the Awakening Act in a certain area."

Lu Nanzhi's pupils shrank.

what?
"They are the gods who hold the fire and control the unrivaled 'supreme power'." Zhao Xilai said in a soft voice, "The only man Dongzhou can rely on... has fallen into a long sleep. We are lambs waiting to be slaughtered , there is no choice in this matter."

"Treating Dongzhou as a chessboard, how can we agree to such a decision..." Lu Nanzhi said coldly, "We should object even more!"

But when she saw Zhao Xilai's numb face that was neither sad nor happy, all the anger slowly ebbed...

It's a feeling of powerlessness.

No wonder, no wonder Nagano City chose to remain silent on this matter... They should have refused, but Gu Changzhi was asleep. Who in Nagano City could bear the price of rejection?

"If the majority votes against, according to the rules, the bill will be rejected...but no one knows what will happen next." Zhao Xilai said slowly: "The awakening bill is just a test. Compared with whether the bill can be implemented, Those in the top seats, as well as other members of the five continents, want to see if the man in Nagano City is really dead."

"Huaqi has found two allies, Guangming City in Xizhou, and the 'Lin Family' in the northern fortress. These two have given some guarantees after the implementation of the law." Zhao Xilai said slowly: "If the Awakening Act can indeed absorb extraordinary sources quality, to alleviate the appearance of black spots...then Dongzhou will also become the biggest beneficiary. With no one in charge, we can only choose to gamble. And the one from Guangming City, as well as the Lin family, are willing to come to make decisions for Dongzhou , to ensure fairness."

"fair……"

Lu Nanzhi couldn't help laughing.

What she saw was that Dongzhou was held by the highest seat as a chessboard, how could there be any fairness at all?

"So...back to the original question, you said earlier that you opposed the bill, but it doesn't mean you ruined the banner..."

"you are wrong."

"Huaqi has no way out. Once the implementation of the bill fails, neither Guangming City nor the Lin family will perform the auxiliary duties of supervising fairness. And what Dongzhou will face at that time is an unprecedented storm." The old man's voice gradually Slowly, finally said: "You, do you understand the weight of this last vote?"

Lu Nanzhi fell into a long silence.

"If you haven't seen it with your own eyes, who would believe that there are "god" creatures in this world? Zhao Xilai smiled softly, "If I hadn't seen them in my life, it would have been more brilliant." "

The Tinder Project...is one of the highest-level secrets of mankind.

And those who have been recognized by Tinder and fully developed its power have gone beyond what Chaofan can understand.

From a material level, perfect people, saints... or gods, it is more appropriate to use such words to describe them.

"The social order that believes in materialism is destined to be broken by the extraordinary, and the logical bottom line of scientists' understanding of the laws of the material world is also destined to be shattered by fire... When the balance of the five continents changes slowly, we must accept and adapt. "

Zhao Xilai opened his mouth slowly and said: "Now the new leaders who inherit the fire are not as great and selfless as they were at the beginning. They will go to the fortress to eliminate the 'black spots', but they will look more slowly than going out. Slowly move into the mainland."

"Dongzhou is being targeted?" Lu Nanzhi said coldly: "We oppose the bill, do they still want to 'enforce justice' across continents?"

The scary thing is that Zhao Xilai didn't speak.

He sat quietly, which seemed to be an answer.

After a long time, he revealed the news again:
"A certain fire master in Central Continent took the lead in doing such a thing... He donated a ray of his own spiritual power to help the superhuman who is absolutely loyal to him to improve his strength, and gifted him to erase the 'black spot' ability, so the person who receives the gift becomes the 'God's Apostle'."

"From the rules, this is absolutely not allowed."

"But... now that there are more black spots, the appearance of the apostles is a good thing for mankind."

"But here comes the problem, only God can defeat God—"

"As for the apostle who inherited a ray of spiritual power from God... Even if this ray of spiritual power is weak to God, it is definitely not something that normal people can carry and overcome."

"So... the other fire masters, in order to maintain this balance, chose their own apostles. When the rules are broken, everyone has to adapt to the new rules, but there is nothing in Dongzhou."

Zhao Xilai said: "In a recent call, Guangming City told me that an apostle from Central Continent will come to Dong Continent recently... We don't know when he will arrive. In this incident, he may just be a bystander, or he may become a an enforcer."

Lu Nanzhi was terrified when he heard that.

"Look... there is no need to play so many tricks and tricks. All tactics are futile in the face of absolute power. The apostles only need to visit one by one to convey the will of the 'God'. Then there are a total of twenty seats in Dongzhou , There are always people who are afraid and shrink back, after all, the seat is dead, but the person is alive."

Zhao Xilai's body fell into the seat, and he persuaded very tiredly: "This is why I want to talk to you deeply... Give up this battle, you can't win."

Lu Nanzhi opened her mouth.

She had nothing to say.

"The things I asked Zhao Qi to bring to you...you should read it. After I die, the flowers and banners will be yours. These are not compensation, but what you deserve." The old man let out a long breath of depression, " Or, you can think of it as a compromise in this war. If we fight on, there will be no winners, you will lose, I will lose, and Dongzhou will lose too."

"Aside from accepting...is there no better way?"

"Yes, I have."

Zhao Xilai suddenly laughed, a little cheerfully, like a child, "If that man wakes up, I will be the first to vote against it with both hands and feet up, and then use the loudspeaker to tell the bastards in the highest seat to go away Some, never make any wrong decisions about Dongzhou."

"But……"

"He's still asleep, isn't he?"

The old man's voice suddenly sounded like fallen leaves in late autumn, "So we have to accept the reality...and prepare for the worst."

Lu Nanzhi said slowly: "What if... I still refuse?"

"..."

The old man fell into deep thought.

"I have no idea."

Zhao Xilai shook his head, and he said seriously: "Under the general trend, there is no retreat. I cannot accept the failure of the implementation of the Awakening Act, and I have never really lost a battle in my life, so if you refuse, there is only one possibility."

"You will become ashes rolled over by the wheel of history..."

At this moment, the thin, old man with no vigor and energy was restrained, like a thin blade.

Those turbid eyes were instantly clear, and a sharp cold light bloomed.

He opened his mouth slowly: "In most cases, there will be no so-called 'madam'."

Lu Nanzhi looked peaceful, and looked at Zhao Xilai, as if she was looking into his eyes, as if she was looking directly at the blazing sun.

But didn't back down.
