Bulwark of Light

Chapter 209 Sanctions

The sun from the old house fell on the lion statue.

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

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

“Here you are.”

Lu Nan Jin handed out the suit that was draped over himself.

Perhaps it was because she had sobered up after drinking the lion, and now her mind is still in a mess… There is a sense of hangover confusion. For the messenger of human judgment, a hangover is really inappropriate.

And spending the night with a guy drunk…sounds a little… nasty too.

Song Ci quickly pressed the cigarette butt to the ground to extinguish it. He took the suit, did not put it on directly, but asked with a smile, “Why don’t you go in and sit?”

Nan Jin shook the head, she hugged the hem of her dress, squatted at the intersection of the alley with a blank expression, her eyes lost focus, she drifted into the distance in a daze, her thoughts drifted to beyond a thousand li, she didn’t know what she was thinking.

There are always surprise glances from passers-by… It’s rare to see such a beautiful girl in the old city, and she also dresses so fashionably.

“Madam told me before… Many things in this world have boundaries. Take most of them as an example.”

Song Ci squatted on Nan Jin’s body. beside.

His eyes drifted into the distance like Nan Jin, and he said aimlessly: “The dividing line of most cities is the old city. People who live here will never be able to imagine the late night on the riverbank. What does it look like?”

“Similarly, in the world of transcender… sincerity is the dividing line that divides the upper and lower.”

“The ground and the underground are two worlds, Since the rules of the sincere club are placed on the top floor of Huaqi, it will not work. game … is not the same.”

Song Ci lowered her eyebrows and said with a smile: “I always felt that there was hypocrisy over there, and both sides were obviously very angry, so I just cast aside all considerations for face, and I also have to disguise the ‘decency’ of the last layer. Only later did little by little realize that the civilized world is actually savage in a different way. The rules of the game over there are just fierce in a different way, cast aside all considerations for face are useless.”

“…what do you want to say?”

Look Nan Jin listened for a while, slightly frowned.

“Although I didn’t squat in front of the house, I heard everything I should have heard.” Song Ci held the suit in one hand, dragged it on her shoulder, and brushed off the extinguished soot with the other. a bitter smile: “Everyone is a transcender, so the six senses shouldn’t be so dull, right?”

The lantern in the inner courtyard had already been extinguished.

The transcenders of the attack department have natural eyesight and hearing, so they will be stronger than the ordinary person, especially Song Ci’s powerhouse at this level, squatting at the entrance of the alley and listening to all directions, and listening to the sounds of the dozens of surrounding houses. All in the ear.

“…”

Lu Nan Jin’s expression is not very good-looking.

“Your teacher is really a good person.”

Crow sighed: “Before today, my impression of him was probably ‘old rascal’… It has now been changed to ‘The Way of Tree People’.”

“If you guessed correctly, you went back to Dadu to kill people, right?”

Not waiting for Lu Nan Jin When he opened his mouth, Song Ci said with a smile, “Who to cut? Cui Zhongcheng? Zhao Xilai? Or… me? Or, I have to cut it again. Whoever worked for Huazhi, who was the accomplice of Lion Lane back then, who should stop him You, don’t let you avenge Lu Cheng, who is the last murderer.”

Lu Nan Jin bowed his head sadly.

Yes.

She thought so long ago.

Every time she draws her sword out of its sheath, every time she tries her best to cultivate and improve her strength, every time she imagines herself returning to Dadu… She has already planned an enemy in her heart.

That is the Zhao family who replaced the father industry!

And she is also prepared for the worst… All those who stand on this front may become their own enemies.

Including… the elder sister.

It sounds fierce, but when I look back now, I realize that this is actually a very naive idea.

But…

A person’s perseverance to do something…isn’t it often because of a stubborn idea?

When she first held the knife, if she didn’t know where her knife was going to end up, would she still be able to go all the way?

But now that she’s back in Dadu, as an avenger… but she finds that even if she pulls out this knife, she doesn’t know who to slash at.

Is Cui loyal?

Is Zhao Xi coming?

It’s not at all…The girl who started the extraordinary cultivation with a knife in anger at the beginning turned the whole world against her. Ten years later, she touched the stone wall of Lion Lane again, but she couldn’t deceive herself.

She also felt… Zhao, not the real murderer of the old Lions Lane case.

……

……

“Madam, it is less than a week before the election of the candidate for the seat.”

Zhou Ji The man sat on the stone pier and said softly to the closed wooden door: “The matter of the bill has a great impact. The Zhao family will not let it go. This week…they will carry out the final counterattack.”

Lu Nanzhi is now sitting cross-legged on the floor of the pavilion.

The twilight fell on her face finely through the shutters.

Her state is between relaxation and tension, her face is relaxed, and the hair on her temples is swaying with the breeze blowing from the window lattice. This meditation posture was taught to her by her father. It is said that the ancients a long time ago. The art of cultivating the mind left behind can adjust the breath… It has the same principle as the “Breathing Technique” in the extraordinary cultivation.

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

The banner is not selected.

Under the will of the highest seat, only by cooperating with the relatively friendly “Bright City” and “Lin Family” can the overall interests of Eastern Continent be maximized. In fact, this means giving up resistance. , The Eastern Continent Council is willing to take a step back from the position of the chess player, making the metropolitan area a chessboard for the will of the highest seat of the five continents.

From the point of view of the Metropolitan, she firmly opposes the passage of the bill at this moment, which is to show the attitude of the Eastern Continent Council… It has nothing to do with the implementation of the awakening bill, and the highest seat has no right to oppress the will of the Eastern Continent.

Judging from the information obtained by [Guwenhui].

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 likely to pay a more serious price in the future.

The Zhao family can’t accept losing the cooperation between Bright City and Lin Family… Similarly, Lu Nanzhi can’t accept the negative impact on Dadu after the passing of the bill. She is absolutely not willing to take tens of millions of people. life to gamble.

Even if he is in charge of the top seat of the game, he has an attractive bargaining chip against Huaqi.

“I was mentally prepared for a long time before I walked to the podium of the candidates.”

Lu Nanzhi kept calm and composed and spoke softly , “With the last week left, Huaqi will impose ‘sanctions’ on me.”

Zhou Jiren in the courtyard narrowed his eyes.

The task of the Judiciary has always been simple and rude, whether it is to store the sealed items or to deal with the out-of-control, it is all things that can be solved with a fist… So he is not quite clear about these manipulations of the city’s economy. In what way do the characters of the lifeline “kill” each other.

This is a battlefield full of silent gunpowder.

However, it is foreseeable that if Lu Nanzhi rejects Huazhi’s last good intentions, all her assets, all permissions, all…everything under Huazhi’s banner will be frozen.

Is that the reason for the meeting at the Freedom Auditorium?

Nanwan will provide Lu Nanzhi with everything new.

“Since you are ready, I will not disturb you.” Zhou Jiren said: “What I just said… just for reminder. In addition, the task of the special investigation team has ended, it is necessary to follow you Report it.”

“S-Rank wanted criminal owl, deep sea has confirmed his death.”

“Owl’s ‘mind control’ is all over Dadu, and the most important chess piece’ Ye Ning Qiu’, was shot and killed in the wilderness of Dadu. The follow-up investigation of the case will affect the parliament’s assessment of the Nanwan Building…and the resources that Mr. Chen can mobilize.”

Zhou Jiren whispered: “Ye Ningqiu’s authority in Nanwan is very high. If the federal investigation team confirms that this parliamentary assistant was ‘mind-controlled’ a long time ago, then the secrets of the Nanwan Building may have been leaked. There is no doubt that the opponents of the bill have The political meeting has been impacted to a certain extent.”

“…”

Lu Nanzhi, who was sitting in the quiet room, frowned.

This is not good news.

In the current battle situation, the two sides are doing their best, but the balance is still balanced, whichever side of the battle will likely lead to defeat…Huazhi will definitely seize this opportunity, In launching the final attack, the congressman’s assistant who assisted Chen San turned out to be the spiritual puppet of the S-Rank fugitive. This news alone could set off a storm of public opinion in the Eastern Continent Council.

“Where’s Chen?” After thinking about it, Mrs. asked.

This is the most important role.

The scandal that the congressman’s assistant is the spiritual puppet of the S-Rank prisoner… can be covered up by death. In fact, it is not that similar situations have not occurred in the early years, and the existence of transcenders has transcended common sense and cognition.

If we want to study the responsibilities carefully, the loopholes in the deep sea and Senator Chen’s dereliction of duty should be divided into half.

But Chen is not the same. He is the biological son of Senator Chen. He should be clearly aware of his responsibilities and the position of the Federation… If the FBI finds out that this Senator is a parent, If there is a “master and disciple relationship” with Xiaoxiao, then this is a fatal attack point of public opinion. Perhaps Hua Qi can use this information to launch Senator Chen’s strong anti-federal inhuman offensive.

“Chen does not have a spiritual link with Xiao… This is confirmed news and has been written into the dossier by the ruling.” After a turn, “However… Xiao’s characteristic is that it has a strong mental deceitfulness. Even if Zhou Yu, the genius adjudicator of Yinghai, possessed [Yunmeng], he still did not escape the claws of Xiao. Through the preliminary appraisal of the ruling, Chen No spiritual link can be considered as Xiao’s unilateral ‘spiritual bewitching’.”

“The body refinement taught by Xiao through spiritual link has seriously damaged Chen Wei’s body, skeleton, function, potential… The original intention was to plunder the fleshy 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], in this S-Rank mission Performed perfectly, lured Ye Ningqiu to show up, and assisted the ruling in erasing Spiritual Will of the main culprit.”

Zhou Jiren said somewhat playfully, “This case file was just finalized last night, and I am in charge. Yes. If the federal government sends a special person to investigate… it will only get this result. Senator Chen’s son has no reactionary intentions, and it can even be said that this is a young hero who has awakened himself in pain.”

There was a long silence in the pavilion.

Then came a sigh of relief.

“Thank you…”

Lu Nanzhi asked: “If I remember correctly, you should be the party who supported the passage of the bill. On the day the candidate member gave a speech, you also personally I went to the Huazhi Building to celebrate…”

“That’s not a good word, there is no such thing as a grand judge in voting, and the sword of destiny is in the hands of you members, I have never The power supports or opposes.” Zhou Jiren said meaningfully with a smile: “By the way, I was not invited to the celebration party that day, I just wanted to go and see the fun.”

“By the way, Just a mention…the Huazhi Building that day was very interesting.”

A chuckle came from the pavilion.

Because of my opposition to the bill…the flag exploded. Indeed, this scene is funny when you think about it.

“Okay, all the chatting is over.”

Old Guy patted Gu Shen’s shoulder and said, “Prepare to withdraw.”

Gu Shen He 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 mission is over, do you want to leave Dadu?”

“Not for now. “

“The Federation will dispatch an investigation team to investigate the follow-up of this case… During this time, we will stay in Dadu and be responsible for assisting and improving the case file.” Zhou Jiren called the head and said: “In addition, You have the ‘Owl’ compass on your body. This compass is his spiritual seal. There are still long-term Foundation believers in the metropolitan area. If you wake up the compass, you will most likely be able to get the information of the believers from the deep sea. The decision needs to be in Most of them try to eliminate the legacy of the Foundation as much as possible.”

“This time, at least… a week or so.”

A week?

Deadline for candidate transition process.

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

Lu Nanzhi didn’t know why the Grand Adjudicator would help him… I can think of the relationship between Gu Shen and Zhou Jiren, and then think of 031’s remarks in the Conference Hall, as well as the fact that Gu Shen was almost stubborn. The few pieces of information that you gave yourself.

Even a fool.

There should also be a conclusion in mind.

The door to the pavilion was pushed open.

Lu Nanzhi, who was wearing simple and elegant casual clothes, bowed slowly to Zhou Jiren who was leaving, and said, “Anyway… Thank you.”

Zhou Jiren didn’t look back, just He waved his hand and said, “I heard that the apostles of the Divine Throne are coming to Dadu, you…be careful.”
