I followed the man to the back hall, which was not very big. There were two rows of suspended seats in a semicircle shape, filled with people, both men and women. In the first row sat a long man wearing a white robe.
The elder, with silver hair, piercing tiger eyes, and a long beard under his chin, was looking at me carefully. On both sides of the elder sat two middle-aged men, all in military uniform, but dressed like crickets.
The combat uniforms of the guards were much more gorgeous and majestic. These two men were also staring at me intently, their eyes poking at me like knives.
In the middle of the back row, behind the white-robed elder, sat a fat middle-aged man with a fat head and big ears, wearing a strange wide-brimmed hat. He was squinting his little eyes and looking at me with twinkling eyes.
, I don’t know what I was paying attention to. The other people were also looking at me up and down, whispering something to each other from time to time.
The usher who led me in gestured for me to sit down on the suspended chair facing the two rows of assessment benches. He then saluted the elder and reported: "Sir, Speaker, Reference No. 12 from the New Territories has been brought." Then.
The elder gently waved his hand to signal the leader to step back. I sat on the chair and looked around. Except for the people sitting on the judging bench, there were soldiers in cricket uniforms with live ammunition standing all around. This posture seemed to be a military court rather than a court-martial.
One assessment and judgment.
"Number 12, your performance is really impressive. Nothing like this has ever happened here before. Do you think you passed the second assessment?" asked the soldier on the left of the elder.
"I am Wan Xingli from the New Territories, Your Excellency." I said in a steady tone: "I think I did what I should do in the second round of assessment, and in that environment I can let more people survive.
, only then can I pass my own test. But unfortunately, someone still died."
"I am General Xi De from Yuanjie, No. 12." The man said in a gloomy voice: "Answer my question directly, do you think you can pass the second round of assessment?" After saying that, he stared at me hard.
.
"Passed." I answered General Xi De's question clearly.
"It's a pity that you didn't pass." General Xi De said calmly.
I smiled dumbly and said to myself: Just fool around. Why did you ask me to come in if you didn't pass? Do you want to invite me to tea? Thinking of this, I couldn't help but curl my lips.
"You look like you don't believe me!" The general on the right of the elder spoke: "I am General Yi Jian of Yuanjie. Do you have any doubts about General Xi De's words?"
"It's an honor to meet two generals. It's not that I don't believe what General Xi De said, but I'm really flattered that General Xi De informed me of the results of the assessment in person. The standards are a bit high," I replied calmly.
"Haha, this sentence is very pertinent." General Yi Jian said with a smile: "However, General Xi De's words are also correct. You did not pass the second round of assessment." General Yi Jian stopped here.
Yes, look at me.
I didn't say anything, but looked straight at him. I knew he hadn't finished speaking yet, so let's see what else he would say. Sure enough, he continued: "According to the votes from the judges' bench, there are more negative votes than in favor."
There are more votes, so you failed the assessment. However, our respected Speaker Frio insisted on giving you a chance to re-examine, so you are here." At this point, General Yi Jian paid tribute to the white-robed elder beside him.
.
Speaker Frio nodded slightly to General Yi Jian, looked at me and said: "In view of your performance and the controversy in the judges' bench, we want to hear your inner thoughts before making the final decision."
"Thank you, Speaker, for your suggestion. I will state my true thoughts to you." I bowed slightly to Speaker Frio and said.
"Secretary General Lantai, you should ask him first." Speaker Frio turned his head and said to the fat man behind him.
The fat man sat up straight, leaning slightly to greet Speaker Frio, then cleared his throat and said: "I am the secretary general of the sub-realm, Lan Tai. Because if you pass the assessment, you will come to us in the next round.
The sub-realm is subject to assessment. Therefore, let me ask questions first."
"Hello, Secretary General Lantai, please ask a question." I still said calmly.
"In the second round of the assessment, you used the method of exchanging the free consciousness body with the animal body to end the assessment. Did you violate the assessment rules?" Lan Tai asked softly.
"As far as I understand, the rule for the second round of assessment is that there are no rules. Since there are no rules that prohibit this, there is no problem of violation. It is just to complete the assessment goal at the minimum cost and maximize the benefits.
Isn't it good to change?" I said calmly.
"However, the 'interests' you mentioned are the interests of you reference persons, which may not necessarily be in line with our interests!" Lan Tai said immediately.
"If the Yuan Realm and the sub-realm want to safeguard their own interests, a stable New Realm is necessary for the Yuan Realm and the sub-realm. Otherwise, once there is turmoil in the New Realm, it will also be detrimental to the Yuan Realm and the sub-realm.
And I think this is also the reason why the Yuanjie and the sub-realm allow people from the New Realm to become the brokers of the three realms. So, I think my behavior is appropriate." I made a high-sounding statement, but in fact the Yuanjie and the sub-realm only
They were just worried that the New Territory would not be under their control or that it would be controlled by only one of them, which would cause disputes between the two realms.
"Hey, you've made a good point!" Sure enough, Lan Tai also realized what I was thinking. "Even so, the Yuan Realm and the Second Realm do not lack you as a broker in the New Realm, but you still can't convince me."
"Since Your Excellency the Secretary-General is unwilling to listen to truth, let me give you an analogy. You already have many handy tools in your hand, but someone gives you an extremely sharp blade. Are you worried about it?
Would you cut your fingers and throw it away, or should you prepare a scabbard and use it?" I asked rhetorically.
"Well, I think I will choose the latter. After all, our sub-world still has the ability to make this scabbard." Lan Tai replied without thinking. "Then, Mr. Speaker, my question is over." Lan Tai bowed.
He said to Speaker Frio.
Speaker Frio nodded and said to General Xi De: "General Xi De, please come and ask again." Xi De greeted Speaker Frio and asked: "Just now, Secretary Lantai said, the sub-realm
We have the ability to make this scabbard, so of course we in the Yuan Realm can too. However, the problem is here, there are two scabbards in the Yuan Realm and the sub-realm, but there is only one sharp blade, and this sharp blade is borrowed
, how to deal with this? So, rather than being unable to deal with it, it is better to simply abandon it. What do you think about this? "
General Xi De's question was insidious enough, and he got to the point right away. He was clearly trying to induce me to choose a side, and any side I chose would be wrong and would fail the test.
"The Yuan Realm, the Second Realm and the New Realm are a whole to me, and my foothold is the New Realm. My bottom line is not to harm the interests of the New Realm. Since the three realms are mutually beneficial, naturally they will not harm the Yuan Realm and the Second Realm.
The legitimate interests of the world." He couldn't help but slapped him with another high-sounding rationale.
Unexpectedly, Xi De continued to ask relentlessly: "If the interests of the Yuan Realm or sub-realm conflict with the interests of the New Realm in the future, or more seriously, an inevitable battle or war occurs, what will you do?
"This is really naked and shameless, and it is clearly asking me to express my position clearly.
I have nothing else but a temper, so I just said it back: "If unfortunately, as you said, General, a fight or war breaks out between the New Realm and the Yuan Realm or the Sub-realm, then for the Yuan Realm and the Sub-realm
I will avoid the attack for three hours first. If after three hours, the Yuan Realm or Sub-realm is still full of desires, then I will have no way to retreat and can only fight with all my strength."
The whole place was in an uproar, and the judges at the table were in a commotion, and some even started slamming the table. General Xi De shouted to stop: "Quiet, quiet, I haven't finished asking yet, wait until I finish asking."
The noise gradually subsided, and then he asked: "If you pass the assessment, how will you thank us?"
"I will not thank anyone here. First, this is not my personal problem, but a question about the balance of interests among the three worlds. Second, I can stand here without any of the people present providing me with anything."
Help, so I won't thank anyone here." I said loudly, putting all possible dangers behind me.
"But your current body was provided by us, and we also gave you the opportunity to participate in the assessment. Doesn't this count as help?" Xi De was a little annoyed and said loudly.
"For these two points, I benefit from the peace between the three realms. Therefore, I will not thank anyone here." Anyway, the conversation has reached this point, and I have nothing to care about.
The crowd was no longer in an uproar, but was shocked and angry. I don’t know whether it was because I revealed their little thoughts, or because they were irritated by my attitude. They were like a group of clowns who had their tricks exposed, like Xia Tian’s
Like cicadas, it began to make endless noises. The guards on both sides also took off their high frequency guns from their shoulders and glared at me.
"Quiet -" Speaker Frio finally spoke and opened his arms, palms down, swinging his arms up and down. Only then did the noisy situation calm down. Speaker Frio looked at me calmly and said: "Wanxingli -
- People from the New Territories, good answer. Things turned out to be just as you said. It was your frankness that saved you. Very good. However, I hope you can serve the Three Realms well in the future and don't make any mistakes.
It’s an unreasonable move, and you must know that with the current strength of the New Realm, it is impossible to challenge the Yuanjie and Sub-realm under any circumstances.”
"I understand. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, for your advice." I nodded in greeting.
Speaker Frio stopped talking. He stood up and left surrounded by guards. When the people at the table saw the Speaker leaving, they all stood up to see him off, and then began to leave one after another.
The two generals, Xi De and Yi Jian, glared at me, snorted heavily, and turned to leave. However, the chief secretary of the sub-community walked up to me and dropped a sentence: "See you in the sub-community, young man. We
A much better body than this will be prepared for you there." Then he slowly left, shaking his fat body.
Qiu Yue and Xiaobo walked to the entrance of the inner hall under the leadership of the leader just now, and then left after exchanging a few words with them. Qiu Yue and Xiaobo walked over, and Qiu Yue said in a trembling voice: "Can you
Dare I say, you can kill them if you flatter them a few times! If Speaker Frio hadn't been so generous, we would have had to go back to deal with the vegetative people."
"This is what Mr. Qin ordered. I just followed it. What's wrong?" I raised the banner of Mr. Qin. "Yes, you can continue to do this." Qiu Yue shouted a little angrily.
"It's admirable to risk one's life and survive." Di Xiaobo said with approval. Qiu Yue turned around and shouted to him: "How can you say such crazy things? It's really unreasonable."
"If he had said anything insincere, the Speaker would have ordered him to be killed." Di Xiaobo said seriously, and it was obvious that he was also frightened.
And why am I not? Who knows what weird things and people I will encounter in the next sub-realm.
