The pitch-black "Guilty Manual" in Higashinohara's mind is not as "intelligent" as he imagined. It only triggers tasks that match his current strength. Even if some tasks are triggered, they may not be able to be completed.
For example, the clearing mission triggered when you first met the demon sword Puso Wiseman in White Swan Port.
At that time, Higashinohara and Dorothy and Alita were unable to withstand each other. In the end, they could only seize the opportunity to hit the opponent hard and then fled in defeat.
At this time, in the meeting hall of the Hall of Heroes, the old man in front of him was a terrifying existence that even the perverted genius demon sword Pusuo Wiseman was unwilling to mention.
Although Higashinohara has grown somewhat since that battle, his strength has stepped from a quasi-ninth level to a true ninth level under normal circumstances.
But even so,
He would not be hot-headed and naively rely on the 100 attribute points provided by the "Ten Stars of Extreme Evil" to try to challenge the first judge who couldn't even show the level of his ability in the "Guilty Manual" in his mind.
That's just because life is too long.
Just as Higashino was assessing the situation during the trial and calmly analyzing whether the mission triggered by the "Guilty Manual" was a trap for him, the world conference, which was broadcast live to the whole world, finally slowly began.
In an instant, the world's live broadcast cameras and everyone's attention focused on the fat man standing in the back row on the second floor of the conference hall.
He is one of the three chairmen of the Celestial Lords House. Flor King, who was born in the Celestial Lion Clan of the Nine Families but voluntarily gave up the fight for the position of the head of the family of the previous generation, is the opening speaker of this world conference.
At this time, this familiar figure who can be seen at almost every three-year world conference is wearing a dark black formal suit with exquisite handcrafting. The buttons in front of it are slightly unbuttoned, revealing the light gray vest underneath.
With a mellow and kind smile on his face, Flor King said loudly:
"After three years of separation, on this day we solemnly gather here again. There are old friends and new faces in this chamber. Whether we are strangers or familiar, the concept of the World Conference remains the same, which is to combine love, peace and justice.
The belief in righteousness spreads to every corner of the world, and what belongs to the God of creation returns to the God of creation, and what belongs to the human world returns to the human world.”
Flor King paused after saying this, and his eyes scanned the faces below that were either sincerely listening or hypocritical, and his tone suddenly became a little stern.
"However, there are always people in this world who try to attack our beliefs, put their greed, desire and ignorance above world peace, and challenge the majesty and bottom line of the world government again and again!"
I heard the "accusation" suddenly stated by the Honorable Congressman Flor King after an impassioned speech.
Almost all the members of the upper and lower houses of the Hall of Heroes and representatives from more than 300 countries knew exactly what the other party was talking about - naturally it was the mysterious man wearing a clown mask who caused a stir in Kyoto city a month ago.
Overcome the storm and waves.
For a moment, the representatives from various countries sitting around the red oak conference table couldn't help but have different expressions. They didn't know what the meaning of the Speaker of Parliament was in singling out this matter in his opening speech.
Is it killing a chicken to scare the monkeys?
Everyone's eyes couldn't help but drift in a certain direction.
Provisional Prime Minister Nobuo Kobayashi suddenly turned pale!
His scalp was numb and he felt the feeling like a light on his back. His whole heart suddenly sank. The expression on his face was a bit struggling. Deep down in his heart, he seemed to be making a very difficult decision.
You know, before coming here, Interim Prime Minister Nobuo Kobayashi had made the worst plan, which was that Wano would be put together with those "problem countries" to vote on whether to propose an alliance proposal.
However, at this moment,
However, Congressman Flor King singled out this matter, which makes people wonder whether the other party wants to set him up as a model or is trying to make use of the topic.
"I have to admit that he succeeded."
Flor King said solemnly, "But where there is darkness, there will be light! If you do something wrong, you will have to pay a price. Those who cover up this will even have to pay a more serious price!"
The representatives from various countries around the conference table in the conference hall immediately showed thoughtful expressions when they heard this, but their faces were calm and clear-minded.
At this time, Speaker Flor King's tone seemed to have suddenly softened a little. With a slight smile on his face, he looked around at the representatives of various countries in the chamber and said loudly, "Okay, this time there are five items on the agenda of the World Conference.
, then let’s proceed to the first agenda item of this conference—a proposal on whether to add additional members to the Allied Powers.”
Following Flor King's words, some waiters holding document bags came out from behind the red oak conference table that spanned most of the conference hall. They greeted the representatives of the 321 countries participating in the meeting with appropriate greetings.
Proposal.
The current total membership of the Allies is 356.
This means that about 35 country representatives were absent from this world conference due to various reasons. These countries had registered with the World Government as early as a year ago.
But the faces of the representatives from more than twenty countries who came here today could be seen to the naked eye and suddenly became nervous after taking over the proposal of the [Allied Supplement], the first agenda item in the world, from the waiter.
.
Nobuo Kobayashi, the interim prime minister of Wano, turned pale with nervousness. He opened the folder with difficulty and scanned the "problem countries" that appeared in the supplementary proposal from top to bottom.
【Independent Kingdom of Rodi】
【Enfeiguo】
【Black Dutch Republic】
【Mabul Principality】
There were some beads of sweat on Nobuo Kobayashi's bald forehead, and his eyes swept down line by line.
I haven’t seen the end yet,
Suddenly, his heart clicked, and as expected, he saw those three very eye-catching words in the supplementary proposal.
【Wano Country】
appear in this supplementary proposal.
Tokugawa Ritora, who was standing behind Nobuo Kobayashi, did not see the handwriting on the proposal document.
But he could already see the clues just by looking at the expression on the face of interim Prime Minister Nobuo Kobayashi.
At this time, Higashinohara, who was standing further back, glanced at Tokugawa Ritora who turned around.
The latter sighed and shook his head at him.
"Kicked out?"
Higashinohara asked softly.
"Not yet."
Tokugawa Ritora shook his head and said softly, "The proposal still needs to be reviewed."
Higashinohara nodded thoughtfully after hearing this.
He had heard a little bit about the review of proposals at world conferences. Generally, the human lower house would review it first, and then pass it to the heavenly upper house to propose revisions.
Both parties will then discuss this matter.
If the upper and lower houses cannot reach a consensus on a certain proposal, they will soon fall into a state of "playing ping pong" until the proposal finally reaches a consensus and cannot be passed.
To some extent,
This can be regarded as the World Conference handing over the review power of proposals to the human lower house, but the final decision-making power is still firmly in the hands of its heavenly upper house.
The spacious meeting hall of the Hall of Valor was quiet for less than five minutes, and Flor King, one of the three parliament chairmen, stood up again.
He looked down at the crowd and said,
"Okay, everyone must have read the proposal, so the first agenda of this world conference has officially begun, and the first country to be reviewed is the [Independent Kingdom of Lodi]."
Along with the words of the Speaker, the introduction of "Lodi Independent Kingdom" also appeared on the light screen in front of the chamber.
The general idea is that the country has been in a state of chaotic warfare between anti-government forces and government forces all year round, and various government departments in the country are overstaffed, and the people are struggling to make ends meet.
After the detailed information and secret investigation evidence were presented, without much debate, the upper and lower houses simultaneously passed the proposal to ban the [Lodi Independent Kingdom] by voting 180:20 and 240:60 respectively.
When this news spread throughout the chamber and was once again broadcast to the whole world through live broadcast, it meant that from this moment on, there was no more [Lodi Independent Kingdom] in the world.
A country just vanished into thin air.
All citizens will become subjugated people.
At this moment, from the perspective of Higashinohara,
You can just see Acting Interim Cabinet Minister Nobuo Kobayashi clenching his fists and shaking slightly.
Next, one country after another was put on a light screen for "public execution".
Some countries will directly disintegrate, and some countries will continue to exist. Apart from this, there is no other third outcome.
"[The Principality of Mabu] tramples on the rights of the people and flouts the laws and regulations of the world government. After deliberation and approval by the upper and lower houses, it will permanently no longer retain its seats among its allies."
"Next, Wano Country."
After the brief pronouncement, it was finally Wano's turn, and everyone cheered up when they heard the name.
Everyone knows that Wano has become a thorn in the side of the world government. Will a miracle happen in the trial of this world conference?
"The country of Wano is suspected of colluding with the rebels and has repeatedly trampled the laws and regulations of the World Government and the Judgment Division, which has had an extremely bad impact on countries around the world. Before the trial is voted on by the upper and lower houses, what do the representatives of the countries involved want to say in defense?
"Yes?" On the seat of the Celestial House of Lords, Chairman Flor King said in a calm tone.
Almost at the same time,
The old man from the Adjudication Division who was sitting in the same row as the representatives of the Tenjinjiu family raised his eyes slightly and stared in the direction of Wano Country.
At this time, the short stature and slightly bald interim acting minister Kobayashi Nobuo finally stood up from the chair next to the conference table under the gaze of countless eyes.
He lowered his head and picked up the microphone and said with some difficulty, "I will not defend the accusations in the proposal. Wano has indeed had some problems in recent years."
"But that's not what I want to say. The people here in Wano live and work in peace and contentment, the country is stable and prosperous, and the society is full of vigor and vitality. Therefore, I would like to ask all members to take this into consideration before voting, and wish for the countless happiness in Wano.
With the well-being of its people in mind, a country like this deserves to exist."
After hearing Nobuo Kobayashi's words, the chairman of the House of Representatives, Flor King, showed no unnecessary emotion on his face. He said coldly, "The representative of Wano Country has finished his presentation, so now we ask the members of the upper and lower houses to vote."
Soon, the number of votes on the light screen began to fluctuate, and the result of the Heavenly House of Lords was 200:0.
Passed unanimously!
The nobles in the Celestial House of Lords all approved of the disintegration of Wano. Almost at the same time, the voting results of the Lower House were also announced quickly, also at 287:13.
The upper and lower council members reached an agreement in the first vote, which means that the proposal of Wano to kick out the Union and disband was passed.
Even though he had been mentally prepared countless times before coming, Nobuo Kobayashi, the interim cabinet minister who was facing the national crisis at this time, suddenly turned pale and sat down on his chair in despair.
After a short period of rapid breathing, he suddenly stood up from the chair, struggled to raise his hands and said, "I protest! I will apply for the Allied delegation to intervene in the process for arbitration!"
According to the rules and regulations of the World Conference, if a representative of a country cannot accept the proposal passed by the House of Lords and the House of Commons, he or she can apply for joint arbitration by the delegation of the Allied Powers.
If more than 90% of the countries vote against the joint arbitration, the proposal will be put on hold and revised by the House of Commons before being submitted for reconsideration.
The reason why no one from the previously tried countries has applied for arbitration is that, on the one hand, they are indifferent, and on the other hand, there will not be much change in the revised proposal of the House of Commons. This system has no effect.
It's nothing more than a temporary delay in death.
At this moment, the representatives from various countries looked at the determined look on the face of Nobuo Kobayashi, the interim acting minister of Wano, and felt either ridicule, contempt, or pity in their hearts.
No one thought he could successfully delay it.
result
Of course there are no miracles.
After Flor King, the Speaker of the House of Lords on the second floor, announced with an expressionless expression that the joint arbitration by representatives of the Allied Powers had started.
It only takes two minutes,
The joint vote was completed by excluding representatives from 320 countries at the conference table.
316:4
The dazzling numbers were displayed on the big screen. Wano only received single-digit support, which meant that the joint arbitration failed and the original judgment of the upper and lower houses was upheld.
For a moment, the celestial nobles in the upper house on the second floor had a slightly sarcastic look on their lips, as if they were watching a poor clown standing on the edge of a knife trying hard to survive.
Council Chairman Flor King had already withdrew his gaze and said calmly, "Your Excellency, the arbitration failed, the trial has taken effect, and the Kingdom of Wano will be permanently canceled immediately."
"I originally thought that people who are not of my race would have different hearts, but I didn't expect that people of the same race would fight against each other, but they would end up like this."
Suddenly, a man's voice came from the huge conference hall, interrupting Flor King's sentencing without warning.
Everyone was in an uproar immediately!
On an occasion like today, would anyone dare to interrupt the speech of the Speaker of Parliament in public?
Do you think your life is too long?
Almost at the same time,
The black-robed enforcement teams of the Adjudication Department scattered around the corners of the Hall of Valor's Chamber all walked down with unkind expressions.
The first adjudicator is sitting on it today. They are cautious and must find the troublemaker as quickly as possible!
However, when the black-robed execution team of the Judgment Division approached the conference table from all directions and scanned everyone with a scrutinizing gaze, they were shocked to find that they could not find the target!
At this time, the voice continued like a ghost that traveled through thousands of years of time and space, "The footsteps of the times have crushed our former glory, but we still uphold the most proud faith. This is the meaning of human existence, isn't it?"
The Interrupted Speaker Flor King's face also darkened slightly, but his tone was unexpectedly calm and he said, "If you openly disrupt the order of the meeting, no matter who you are, I promise you will pay a price that is absolutely unimaginable."
Behind the seats on the second floor, the condescending representatives of the Nine Families also glanced at the meeting hall with a slight frown.
Next to the silver-haired old man in charge of the Judgment Department, the Eighth Judgment made Oduer anxiously listen to the news coming back from the headset.
However, among all the black-robed execution teams distributed around the Hall of Valor's Chamber, until now, no one has discovered where the sound came from.
Feeling annoyed and anxious, he quickly bent down and asked for instructions from the old man Gru Wiseman, who was sitting quietly beside him, "Sir, none of the teams found anything unusual. The person who secretly disturbed the meeting place is probably a ninth-level powerhouse!
Should we evacuate all the members first?"
Unexpectedly, his voice fell,
It took a while for the silver-haired old man who had been sitting in the Adjudication Division for nearly half a century to raise his head and look at him lightly, and said in a calm voice:
