Bulwark of Light

Chapter 209 Sanctions
The sunlight in the old house fell on the lion statue.

Lu Nanjin leaned her back against the stone wall of the house, and stood silently for a while. The sound from the inner courtyard stopped, and she also left quietly. After walking more than ten steps, she came to the end of the alley.

Song Ci, who was squatting and smoking, was patted on the shoulder.

"Give you."

Lu Nanjin handed out the suit that was draped over her body.

Maybe it's because she drank Shi Xingjiu, her mind is still in a mess now... There is a sense of confusion like a hangover. For a verdict envoy who stabs people with knives 360 days a year, the hangover It is really inappropriate.

And getting drunk and spending the night out with a guy... sounds a little... nasty too.

Song Ci quickly put the cigarette butt on the ground and extinguished it. He took the suit and didn't put it on directly, but asked with a smile, "Why don't you go in and sit down?"

Nan Jin shook her head. She was hugging the hem of her dress, squatting at the intersection of the alley with a blank expression, her eyes lost focus, she wandered in a daze to the distance, her thoughts also wandered thousands of miles away, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Passers-by are constantly casting surprised glances... It is rare to see such a beautiful girl in the old town, and she is also dressed so fashionable.

"Madam told me before... There are boundaries for many things in this world. Let's take Dadu as an example."

Song Ci squatted beside Nan Jin.

Like Nan Jin, his eyes drifted into the distance, and he spoke aimlessly: "The dividing line of Dadu is the old city. People who live here can never imagine what the night on the river beach is like."

"Similarly, in the world of extraordinary people... Sincerity will be the dividing line between upper and lower."

"On the ground and underground, there are two worlds. If the rules of Chengxin Club are placed on the top floor of Huaqi, it won't work. Sincerity Club pays attention to fists. Whoever is strong and whoever strikes fiercely is the boss."

"But the rules of the game on Madam's side... are different."

Song Ci smiled and said with a low eyebrow: "I used to think that there was hypocrisy. Both parties were already very angry, and they just had to tear their skins apart and pretend to be the last layer of 'decency'. Only later did I realize bit by bit, The civilized world is actually another way of barbarism. The rules of the game over there are just another way of ferocity, and tearing the skin is useless."

"...what are you trying to say?"

Lu Nanjin listened distractedly for a while, then frowned slightly.

"Although I didn't squat in front of the house, I heard everything I needed to hear." Song Ci held his suit with one hand and dragged it to his shoulder, brushed off the extinguished cigarette ash with the other hand, and said with a wry smile: "Everyone is a supernatural being." , the six senses shouldn’t be so dull, right?”

The lanterns in the inner courtyard had long been extinguished.

Extraordinary people of the assault department are born with better eyesight and hearing than ordinary people, especially Song Ci's level of powerhouses, who can hear all directions when squatting in an alley, and can hear all the sounds of a dozen houses around them .

"..."

Lu Nanjin's expression was not very good-looking.

"Your teacher is really a good person."

Crow said with emotion: "Before today, my general impression of him was probably 'old rascal'...now it has been changed to 'shurenyoudao'."

"If you guessed correctly, when you returned to Dadu, you wanted to kill someone, right?"

Before Lu Nanjin could speak, Song Ci smiled and said, "Cut who? Cui Zhongzhong? Zhao Xilai? Or... me? Or, I have to cut it all over again. Whoever worked for the flower banner is the accomplice of Lion Lane back then. Whoever wants to stop it?" If you are not allowed to avenge Lu Cheng, whoever is the final murderer."

Lu Nan Jin lowered his head wearily.

Yes.

She thought so a long time ago.

Every time she drew her sword out of its sheath, every time she practiced desperately, every time she worked hard to improve her strength, every time she imagined that she would return to Dadu... She had already made an enemy in her heart.

That is the Zhao family who replaced his father's property!

And she is also mentally prepared for the worst... Everyone who stands on this front may become her own enemy.

Including... sister.

It sounded very vicious, but looking back at this moment, I found that this was actually a very naive idea.

but……

A person persevering in doing a certain thing...isn't it often all because of a stubborn idea?

When she held the knife, if she didn't know where her knife was going to fall, would she still be able to go all the way?
But now that she has returned to Dadu, as an avenger...but she finds that even if she pulls out her knife, she doesn't know who to cut at.

Is Cui loyal?

Is Zhao Xi coming?

Not at all... The girl who held a knife in anger and began to practice extraordinary, drew the whole world to her opposite. Ten years later, she touched the stone wall of Lion Lane again, but she couldn't deceive herself.

She also felt... Mrs. Zhao was not the real murderer of the old Lion Lane case.

……

……

"Ma'am, there is less than a week until the election of the candidate member of parliament."

Sitting on the stone pier, Zhou Jiren whispered to the closed wooden door: "The matter of the bill has a great impact, and the Zhao family will not let it go. This week...they will carry out the final counterattack."

Lu Nanzhi was sitting cross-legged on the floor of the pavilion at the moment.

The shimmer of light fell finely on her face through the window leaves.

Her state is between relaxation and tension, her face is relaxed, and the hair on her temples is swaying with the breeze blowing in from the window lattice. This meditation posture was taught to her by her father. , you can adjust your breathing... It has the same principle as the "breathing method" in extraordinary practice.

On the matter of the bill, Zhao Xilai had already made it very clear to himself.

Banner had no choice.

Under the pressure of the will of the Supreme Council, only by cooperating with the relatively friendly "Guangming City" and the "Lin Family" can the overall interests of Dongzhou be maximized. In fact, this is giving up resistance. Take a step back from the position and let the metropolitan area become the chessboard for the will game of the highest seat in the five continents.

From the point of view of most councilors, she resolutely opposes the passage of the bill at the moment, which is to express the attitude of the Eastern Continent Parliament... It has nothing to do with the implementation of the Awakening Act, and the highest seat has no right to oppress the will of the Eastern Continent.

Judging from the information obtained from [Ancient Literature Society].

The Awakening Act calculated from the deep sea has a far-reaching and complicated impact on human beings. If it is only promulgated to combat the "collapse of order", it is very likely that it will pay a more serious price than this in the future.

The Zhao family cannot accept losing the cooperation between Guangming City and the Lin family... Similarly, Lu Nanzhi also cannot accept the negative impact on Dadu after the passage of the bill. She is absolutely unwilling to gamble with the lives of tens of millions of people.

Even the highest seat in charge of the gambling game offered a tempting bargaining chip to Huazhi.

"I've been mentally prepared for a long time, before stepping onto the podium of candidate congressmen."

Lu Nanzhi maintained a calm and pure state, and said softly, "There is still the last week left, Huazhi will impose 'sanctions' on me."

Zhou Jiren in the courtyard narrowed his eyes.

The tasks of the Judgment Office have always been simple and rough, whether it is storing sealed items or dealing with out-of-control people, they are all things that can be solved with fists... So he is not very clear about how these people who control the lifeline of the city's economy use What kind of way to "fight" each other.

This is a battlefield full of silent smoke.

However, it is foreseeable that if Lu Nanzhi rejects Huazhi's last good intention, all her assets, all authority, all... everything under Huazhi's flag will be frozen.

Is that why there was a meeting at the Freedom Hall?

Nanwan will provide Lu Nanzhi with everything new.

"Since you have already prepared, then I won't bother you." Zhou Jiren said: "What you said just now...is just a reminder. In addition, the task of the special investigation team has ended, so it is necessary to report to you."

"S-rank wanted criminal Xiao, Shenhai has confirmed his death."

"Xiao's 'mind control' spread all over Dadu, and the most important chess piece 'Ye Ningqiu' was shot dead in the wilderness of Dadu. The follow-up investigation of the case will affect the parliament's assessment of Nanwan Building...and Senator Chen's ability to mobilize H."

Zhou Jiren said in a low voice: "Ye Ningqiu has very high authority in Nanwan. If the federal investigation team confirms that this congressman's assistant was 'mind-controlled' a long time ago, then the secrets of Nanwan Building may have been leaked. There is no doubt that the political views of the opposition to the bill will be impacted to a certain extent.”

"..."

Lu Nanzhi who was sitting in the quiet room frowned.

This is not good news.

In today's battle situation, both sides are trying their best, but the balance is still balanced. If one side lacks strength, it may lead to defeat... Huaqi will definitely seize this opportunity, launch the final attack, and assist Chen San's congressman's assistant turned out to be the spiritual puppet of an S-class fugitive, and this news alone could set off a storm of public opinion in the Dongzhou Assembly.

"Where's Chen?" After thinking for a while, Madam asked.

This is the most important role.

The scandal that the congressman's assistant is the mental puppet of an S-class prisoner... can be covered up by death. In fact, similar situations have not occurred in the early years. The existence of extraordinary people has gone beyond common sense and cognition.

If we want to investigate the responsibilities in detail, the loopholes in the deep sea and Senator Chen's dereliction of duty should share half of each.

But Chen Mei is different. He is the biological son of Senator Chen, so he should clearly understand his responsibilities and the position of the Federation... If the Federal Investigation Team finds that the Senator's parent and son have a spiritual link with Xiao "Master-student relationship", then this is the fatal point of public opinion attack.Perhaps Huazhi can use this information to launch Senator Chen's strong attack against the Federation and against humanity.

"Chen did not have a spiritual link with Xiao... This is confirmed news, and it has been written into the file by the ruling office."

Zhou Jiren conveyed helplessly, and then changed the subject, "However...Xiao's characteristic is that he has a strong spiritual demagoguery. Zhou Yu, the genius adjudicator of Yinghai back then, even with [Yanmeng], did not escape Xiao's clutches. According to the preliminary appraisal by the tribunal, Chen Mei's spiritual link can be regarded as Xiao Xiao's unilateral 'spiritual bewitchment'."

"The Taijutsu taught by Xiao through the spiritual link severely damaged Chen Mei's body, bones, functions, and potential... The original intention was to plunder the physical body and cultivate a new container to replace Zhou Yu."

"But Chen didn't realize this in time, so he chose to join the [Special Investigation Team], and performed perfectly in this S-level mission, luring Ye Ningqiu to show up, and assisting the Judgment in erasing the spiritual will of the principal criminal."

Zhou Jiren said with some joking, "This case file was just finalized last night, and I'm in charge. If the Federation sends special personnel to investigate... only such a result will be obtained. Senator Chen's son has no reactionary intentions, and even It can be said that this is a young hero who awakened himself in pain."

There was a long silence in the room.

Then there was a sigh of relief.

"thanks……"

Lu Nanzhi asked: "If I remember correctly, you should be the one who supported the passage of the bill. On the day the candidate congressman gave a speech, you even went to the Huazhi Building to celebrate..."

"That's wrong. Voting is not a matter of the adjudicator. The sword of fate is in the hands of you congressmen. I have never had the right to support or oppose it." Zhou Jiren said with a meaningful smile: "By the way Mention, I was not invited to the celebration banquet that day, I just wanted to go and see the excitement."

"By the way...the Huazhi Building that day was very interesting."

There was a chuckle in the room.

Because I opposed the bill... Huaqi exploded.Indeed, this scene is ridiculous when you think about it.

"Okay, all the chatter is over."

The old guy patted Gu Shen on the shoulder and said, "Get ready to leave."

Gu Shen was in the yard the whole time, quietly listening to the conversation between the two, and now he raised his head and asked, "Teacher... the task is over, are you leaving Dadu?"

"Not for now."

"The Federation will send an investigation team to investigate the follow-up of this case... We will stay in Dadu during this period of time and assist in completing the case file." Zhou Jiren shook his head and said, "Also, you have the compass of 'Xiao' on your body , this compass is his spiritual seal, and there are still long-term foundation believers hidden in the metropolitan area. If the compass is awakened, there is a high probability that the believers can get information from the deep sea. The ruling needs to eliminate the foundation as much as possible in the metropolitan area. remnants."

"This time, at least... it will take about a week."

a week?
Deadline for the candidate handover process.

This is an obvious statement... During this week, Zhou Jiren will stay in Dadu.

Lu Nanzhi didn't know why the adjudicator would help her... But she thought of the relationship between Gu Shen and Zhou Jiren, and then thought of 031's remarks in the conference room, and the few words that almost forced Gu Shen to herself information.

Even fools.

There should be a conclusion in mind.

The cabinet door was pushed open.

Lu Nanzhi, who was wearing elegant casual clothes, bowed slowly to Zhou Jiren who left, and said, "No matter what...thank you."

Zhou Jiren didn't look back, but just waved his hands and said, "I heard that the apostles from the throne of God are coming, you...be careful."
