Chapter 714 12. Mason stabs the sharp knife in the heart of the enemy, and Harley prepares the nails for nailing the coffin
Early the next morning, the special envoy's mansion area became lively.
The envoys and representatives from various garden worlds wore their most distinctive clothes, and surrounded by their own guards boarded the official car to the council headquarters.
I don’t know if it’s out of a sense of ritual or other considerations. In this era when starships are used to fight wars and destroy the world in outer space, in City of Hope, quite classic black four-wheeled vehicles are still used to transport important people.
Driven by the staff of the council, it takes more than ten minutes to drive to the office area of the council headquarters.
This is a very mature rule and system more than ten years ago, so Mason does not intend to destroy it. Under the **** of several guards of the mansion, Mason, who is wearing a black tuxedo, is very elegant and leads him in a red dress beside him. Harley's hand, and behind them is Quinn holding a child.
The effect of the compound medicine is still significant. Even Skynet's Terminator guards cannot determine the true identity of the special envoy in front of him after being transformed.
It wasn't until he sat in the luxury car, under the vibration of the wheels slowly starting, that Mason withdrew his gaze from observing the other special envoys, and allowed the car to drive into the uniform black traffic ahead and become an inconspicuous figure in the long queue. part of.
Driving for Mason was a lady wearing the military uniform of the council's defense force, with the rank of second lieutenant, and she took care of her personal appearance very well.
"I heard an explosion last night."
The special envoy "Marlene Frost" who was sitting in the back seat was surrounded by his two wives. While reaching out to tease the bridge of the nose of the child in his arms, he asked the second lieutenant driving ahead:
"What happened? On the way here, I heard that the law and order in Hope City has deteriorated recently. It is said that it is because of the rebels. This was not a reason that people could tolerate before."
"It's an underground landslide, Your Excellency the Special Envoy."
The female driver maintained a constant speed, and she replied in a very official tone:
"There are no legendary rebels or other dangerous things. As you can see, the order of the city has been restored and all staff are on duty normally, which will not interfere with your work in regular meetings.
In addition, your special opportunity will be waiting at the airport, and I will send you off after the regular meeting. "
"Um?"
Mason pretended to be surprised and said:
"So fast? Isn't there a one-day event after the regular meeting in the past? My itinerary is also arranged in this way, and I haven't received an order from my governor to return early."
"The command will be delivered to your private terminal in twenty minutes. This is not aimed at you. Please don't make unreasonable associations. It's just that all the garden worlds have entered a state of combat readiness."
The female second lieutenant replied as if reciting a script:
"According to the monitoring of our scientific and technical personnel, the fifth shock may come earlier than expected, so the time left for you and the governors to prepare is compressed.
In addition, due to special circumstances caused by some reasons, today's world regular meeting will be the last meeting held in the near future. The resumption time of the regular meeting is still uncertain, but we will notify you when the time is right. "
"Something went wrong, right?"
Mason narrowed his eyes and asked:
"I can probably understand the reason why the high-level council made such a decision, those rebels, I mean, those in the new utopia."
"Your Excellency! This is a topic that cannot be brought up here."
When the female second lieutenant heard the words "New Utopia", she immediately stopped:
"For your safety, please do not continue discussing things like this."
"But it's not just me!"
Mason snorted, leaned back on the chair, and sarcastically said to the second lieutenant who was driving:
"Believe it or not, everyone in all the vehicles driving on this road is thinking the same thing in their minds. Your actions are decisive but also very stupid.
The more you prohibit discussions, the more rumors that are getting more and more popular will be confirmed! The more forcefully you suppress this wind, the more you will show your weakness and confusion.
Even if I am a person who doesn't care about these things, I can know that the number of world envoys who came to the regular meeting this time can reach two-thirds of the previous number.
This means that at least one-third of the Garden World has been separated from you, and is always ready to jump on the other side's boat.
The system built by the Council is collapsing, Ensign, and you don't seem to be ready to jump ship just yet. "
He glanced at the female second lieutenant who was holding the steering wheel tightly in front of him and seemed very angry. He noticed the ring on the second lieutenant's finger, and said:
"Everyone is thinking about the way forward. At this moment of panic, not only no directors have come forward to stabilize the overall situation, even those guys who used to have five people and six people have disappeared.
I hate to say it so bluntly, but the fact is that this city and the world have been abandoned, you guys! You too have been abandoned, Ensign.
So if I were you, what I have to do now is not to scold the special envoys to continue to be loyal, but to seize the last bit of time to find a useful way for myself, my family and my lover to get through the chaos that will ensue.
Whether the explosion last night was an accidental landslide? I believe you know better than me, ma'am, you can continue to bury your head as if nothing happened, or you can make two-handed preparations. "
Mason snorted, closed his eyes and said:
"Driving and watching the road! It's about to hit the front!"
"唰"
The brakes were stepped on immediately, and the sudden stop made the car behind also have to slow down. When the female second lieutenant raised her head, she didn't see the obstacle in front of her. This was obviously a bad joke by the special envoy behind her.
But just when she blushed and was about to reprimand, she heard Mason whispering amidst the laughter of the two cuties:
"You see, you don't have absolute confidence in everything about the council, you can't hide it from yourself. I can understand that no matter how good people are in the face of change, they will be at a loss, especially after more than ten years of stability. In the days to come, I don't want unexpected events to affect my life that is already on track.
When you are used to a certain life, you will think that change is a dangerous thing and it is far away from you. However, the change will not depend on personal will, and you have to be prepared and take action for it.
Let me give you a suggestion. "
Mason whispered:
"Shoot the bullet in your pistol to the right place, remember to bring your boss with you when you surrender, and you will get better treatment in the next era.
Of course you can continue to be faithful, but take my advice, girl, think about your husband and children. "
This is already a blatant persuasion.
According to the regulations of the council's garrison in Hope City, the second lieutenant should draw out his pistol to stop Mason's crazy talk and report to his superiors immediately.
However, until the car parked in the square of the council headquarters, when Mason and the two wives swaggered into the crowd and headed for the regular meeting, the female second lieutenant who was driving did not make any movement.
She sat in the driver's seat in a daze, watching Mason's figure disappear through the car glass. After several minutes of hesitation, she gritted her teeth and dialed the number marked "Big Slob" on her phone.
"Drop your work and go home immediately! Don't disturb the others."
She lowered her voice to the other side and said:
"Protect the child at home, no matter what happens today, don't come out! Don't ask me too much and I don't know! But... But it is estimated that the weather will change."
After finishing the phone call, the female soldier returned to the station, touched the gun on her waist, and glanced at the superior's office. She wondered if she might be bewitched by the devil.
But I have to say that the parting words of the special envoy really sound reasonable in the current situation.
"The Conqueror Sixth Sequence's local garrison sent an urgent message!"
Just as the second lieutenant was hesitating, the operator's answer suddenly sounded in the garrison office area where she was, and she heard the content of the communication over there by turning her ears slightly.
"The rebel army in Hope City is planning a dangerous situation. It is said that the target is the ongoing world regular meeting! They want to hold those special envoys hostage. The superior has issued an order, and everyone is ready to go!"
She immediately realized that the Sixth Sequence's warning was not well intentioned. This might be part of a certain plan, so now an important question was before her.
Reporting?
still
Ten seconds later, she took a deep breath while holding the loaded pistol, and knocked on the door of the chief's office. There was a voice in her heart urging her, it was time to act!
—
"This little golden apple is still as easy to use as ever, especially when facing humanoid creatures with weak will."
Mason played with the still glowing golden apple and walked into the huge circular conference hall in front of him. While walking to his seat, he said to Harry next to him:
"But this in turn proves that the council seems to have really given up on maintaining the ruling system. They are really willing and decisive enough to give up things that will only drag them away after realizing the danger.
I feel that today's things will go quite smoothly. "
"But that cute Lieutenant Bingshan may be sieved for participating in the rebellion because of your random actions, sweetheart, and she can't even see the moment when the system she belongs to collapses with her own eyes."
Harry snorted and whispered:
"You're such a badass!"
"I just helped her make up her mind."
Mason shook his head and said:
"If she didn't have the idea of worrying about the future in her heart, she wouldn't be so easily invaded by the golden apple. It wasn't that I planted the seeds of confrontation for her. She naturally understands it better than the negotiators in this system. It's only a matter of time before the crash.
She will also be able to be a part of today's change, and I'm sure she will thank me. "
"boom"
The sound of the hammer being knocked sounded in front, indicating that the meeting had entered the preparation stage, and the special envoys and representatives who were still whispering around fell silent.
They were sitting upright, with serious expressions, and it was impossible to judge what these guys were thinking from their appearance.
There are also some guys who have already found out the impurities or novels they carry with them and devoted themselves to relaxing reading, and some even took out game devices similar to mobile phones.
Each one shows the style of old fried dough sticks.
Obviously, they also know that there is nothing to talk about here except the fruitful work of wasting time.
Mason leaned back on the chair, closed his eyes as if resting when he was tired, and held the shimmering golden apple in his hand, restraining its energy level to a minimum so as not to disturb the security robots around the venue and some peripheral people responsible for protection and monitoring. casters.
Rao is the lowest level of spiritual perception combined with the enhancement of Isu's senses, so that he can perceive the psychological and emotional activities of the people around him. Although he can't perceive what they think in their hearts, those emotional fluctuations are not as good as everyone's appearance It was so calm, like a vortex was already brewing under a calm pool of deep water.
The large conference hall, which can accommodate nearly a thousand world envoys, is still solemn and luxurious, and the working adults cleaned it very neatly, revealing a magnificent atmosphere.
When the power system symbolized here was stable, it was certainly a display of authority, but now that it has been precarious, there is enough reason to become another eye of the storm.
"Look, sweetheart! Tony!"
Harry looked left and right and suddenly found a figure that surprised her, so she quickly poked Mason's arm to wake up the captain from the perception of the golden apple.
Following the instructions of the little cutie, he looked over and saw Tony Stark walking into the huge conference hall from the other side under the **** of a group of elite mechanical guards.
Although the face is not much different from the members of the Stark Legion, the haggard and weak posture and the ending and twilight that never appear on other Tonys represent that this is a new Tony Stark. gram.
Mason stared at him, and watched him walk up to the rostrum of the conference hall, and the captain knew the identity of this guy.
This should be the legendary "Tony Zero"!
Tony Seven once told the story of this guy. It is said that there is something in his mind that allows him to possess the first-class wisdom in this world's star sea.
"I didn't expect that doing some interesting things casually would lead to unexpected gains."
Mason had a surprised and satisfied smile on his disguised face. He said to Quinn, who was holding the same disguised little Brainiac:
"This guy is a member of Old A's small group, and he is usually the kind who lives reclusively. We will definitely find some great news from him.
Make sure you and Harley suppress the scene, and give me some time to have a good chat with Tony Zero.
His health appears to be in serious trouble, and perhaps in need of a good doctor's diagnosis. "
As soon as Mason finished speaking, Tony Zero, who sat on the rostrum with several other hopeful directors who were forced to open for business, coughed a few times, activated the loudspeaker device and said to all world envoys:
"I am chairing this regular meeting today. Before discussing important topics, I want to tell you a piece of bad news. The shock process has accelerated again. According to my observations, the fifth shock will come in four days.
This conclusion is not entirely accurate.
The shock event has entered the final process, which brings strong uncertainty to the occurrence of this cosmic phenomenon. Therefore, in some special cases, the time for the shock to arrive will be further shortened.
Therefore, after today's regular meeting is over, you need to immediately return to your respective garden worlds to deal with it together with the management agency. "
The news that Mason got from the former female second lieutenant by using the golden apple is now announced, like a bomb was thrown into the venue, causing those idle people who were fishing for fish to widen their eyes in astonishment.
This is wrong!
Didn’t it mean that there is still half a month left? How could it be shortened to this point all of a sudden?
Although the Garden World has a complete shock defense system and the assistance of the Tenth Fleet makes them not have to worry about the sudden acceleration of the shock, this sudden situation has indeed disturbed many people's thinking.
Like those who have made up their minds to jump ship.
The manufacture of the Isu Signal Tower and the World Magnetic Field Generator of the New Utopia Project also takes time! This unexpected situation forced them to be unable to complete the secret preparations during this shock.
As a result, the entire conference hall suddenly became chaotic, and some special envoys even got up and prepared to leave immediately. Time is so precious that it cannot be wasted here.
But there is someone faster than all of them.
Mason raised his hand, then got up and shouted:
"I'm curious about the council's response to this unexpected situation, and the issues that many people are concerned about but cannot be discussed here. How are you going to deal with those increasingly active neo-utopian rebels?
Is the integration plan they preached in the Star Sea feasible?
If that's all true, will the Council allow Garden World to freely choose its own destiny? When we first joined the council system, you made a promise!
The original and only purpose of this organization was to preserve the fire in the impact disaster and fight against the doomsday. Now hope has appeared, although it is a pity that it was not born in your hands.
But I want to ask, will you prevent us from contacting them and accepting their help? "
The venue fell silent for a moment.
All eyes turned to Mason.
Who is this guy?
So boldly pointed out the crux of the problem, although what you said is indeed what everyone cares about, but it is so direct.
Hey, the kid who came to the meeting with two wives and children!
You are very brave.
