Chapter 1606 Promise
When the projection of the entire current situation reappeared in front of everyone's eyes, the entire conference room was already dead silent.
Even breathing could not be heard.
The once solemn and huge structure is now full of cracks, like a glass ball on the verge of breaking, no longer clear and stained with traces of dirt.
What's even more tragic are the many borders surrounding the current situation... very few are intact, more than a third have been completely destroyed, and even more have huge cracks.
On the verge of collapse.
Under the torrent of the Mother of Stone, the Border Defense Front accomplished its mission brilliantly and withstood more than 80% of the impact on the current situation, as well as the damage caused by the ranchers.
Not only the collision and impact of the divine body, but also the erosion and pollution of the abyss food chain.
Throughout the War of All Realms, the number of deaths directly involved in the battle has exceeded 700,000, and accurate statistics have not yet been completed.
And more people have died due to the war between the worlds than can be counted. Even now, deaths are still happening.
Even more tragic data has been delivered to everyone.
The most intuitive thing is that the degree of distortion has skyrocketed by 310%, while the correction value that was originally relatively rich has dropped by 570%.
The power to save the world five times was lost, and the world was subjected to destructive distortion and pollution more than three times.
It has been closer to the solidified boundary than ever before, and is only a hair away from irreversible hell... And the reason why it has not crossed that precarious boundary until now is because of the super-large authoritarian blockade and suppression from the five major lineages. Dragon veins and pure jun, wolf blood land and crown, holy coffin and holy bones, the grace of gods and even repair at any cost...
As for the inner three pillars of reality, the essence, the essence and the transformation, the pillar of the essence is currently the most complete, the sea of silver still exists, and the soul of all mankind has not left, so there is no need to worry. The Pillar of Change has been overloaded too many times in the War of Realms, and there are hidden dangers. The most tragic Pillar of Divine Marrow has been broken once. After being repaired, the balance of the three pillars can only be said to be barely maintained, and time must be given to recover.
But where are the recovered materials?
Even if the creation plan continues and all the gains in the war of worlds are invested in it, it will still be difficult to make up for the damage suffered.
The Genesis Plan is no longer able to start the next phase.
But at this critical juncture, the governing bureau was facing reorganization and shutdown. In order to avoid disintegration, it had to make slow corrections from within.
At the same time, between the borders, the disasters and pollution left by the wars between the worlds, and even the poison produced by the ranchers when they eroded the current territory are still spreading...
At the end is the report made by the Doomsday Clock Team of the Survival Institute.
If all events can be ended perfectly, then the current life span can still last for one hundred and ten years. And once each problem fails to be solved or causes bad consequences, the time left for them will become less and less...
They must race against time.
To gain time.
After reading it, the entire conference room was filled with dead silence, and no one spoke anymore.
One hundred and ten years.
Compared with human life, it is so long, but to the whole world, it is short as if it were a snap of a finger.
It’s just three or four generations.
One hundred and ten years later, the life in the present situation is exhausted and the life is gone. The whole world falls into the abyss, ushering in the final solidification and transformation.
Everything will be buried in darkness.
Huaishi's eyes dropped.
A silent sigh.
"Convening representatives from all parties involved in the current situation in advance to participate in this meeting is to make the current situation public to everyone."
At the innermost side, attending in place of the Director of the Administration Bureau, was an elderly woman, Marion Seydoux.
Before Yegor, she was the secretary-general of the Central Decision-making Office of the previous generation's governing bureau. Before the new secretary-general of the governing bureau is selected, she will temporarily take over the duties as the representative of the governing bureau.
"At present, in addition to maintaining the current order, the governing bureau is unable to reverse the situation. During this period, we will implement the emergency plan and transfer management authority to the permanent members and the five major lineages, and all parties will supervise and maintain their own areas. The specific handover will be completed tomorrow."
Marion looked around at all the participants and said slowly: "This current situation meeting will focus on solving the problem of the current situation's survival, and will no longer accept proposals from other aspects.
Starting tomorrow and continuing until the end of the current situation meeting, within this week, we are here to collect strategies and plans from you that can sustain the current situation.
Of course, the Administrative Bureau and the Survival Court will not stay aloof.
I only hope that on the day when the meeting ends, the current situation can find a strategy for rebirth from the chaos, and we can reach unity and consensus from it. "
Huai Shi's movements stagnated.
Among the whispers and conversations, he was silent after all, digesting the news calmly.
The situation has actually reached a point. Do we have to start soliciting methods from major genealogies to save everything...
"During this period, there is another key thing that I must remind you of - regarding the current defense and security, I think there is no need to say more about specific incidents and cases."
Marion's eyes were sharp and she said solemnly: "The pollution and poison spreading across the borders can no longer be ignored."
"Stop saying that, madam." Quetzalcoatl sighed, "We have too much to take care of ourselves."
"I know."
Marion shook her head: "But there must be a solution, and we can no longer delay it. To this day, the Command Bureau is still maintaining more than 60% of the damaged border.
By solving these problems early, we can allocate manpower to solve more troublesome problems. "
The pollution left by many rulers, the distortion caused by the ranchers, and even the poison caused by sedimentation are constantly sprouting in various borders like bamboo shoots after a rain.
In fact, even the current situation is not much better.
The five major lineages are already struggling just to suppress distortions within territories and jurisdictions and drive away erosion. But what about other places in the current situation besides the five major genealogies? What about the many borders that are not affiliated with the WPC?
The support and maintenance from the command bureau continues, and it has not stopped even now. But after experiencing many traumas and losses, the four major legions have already reached their limits.
At this moment, in the silence, Xuanniao's eyes were already looking not far away, just like everyone else.
He looked towards the corner that had been quiet since the meeting began.
The only figure who still has some strength left.
Until the silent Huai Shi finally raised his head.
I took over this hot potato.
“Kingdom Lineage is willing to provide support and assume responsibility regarding the security and protection of free borders.”
Huai Shi said: "Besides, if we still have spare capacity, we will also invest in disaster relief projects."
"But at the same time, we need approval and authority from the governing bureau, as well as permission to take emergency measures if necessary - the specific application was submitted to the decision-making room by Heavenly Genealogy half an hour ago."
There is no exaggerated demand for sale or lion's mouth, and no compensation or demand is even mentioned. Apart from procedural approval, there is nothing to ask for.
So magnanimous.
Marion did not answer, but took out her signature pen, took out a stamped page from the document next to it, signed her name at the bottom, and pushed it over.
The highest-level authorization from the central decision-making room of the Bureau of Administration grants the Original Sin Legion under the Heavenly Lineage the temporary law enforcement authority on all borders outside the current territory.
Including but not limited to business, construction, production, etc...
Silence fell suddenly.
Amidst all the silence, even the Roman emperor's graceful expression from beginning to end was slightly stagnant.
Can't hide my surprise.
Everyone's eyes couldn't help but fall on the table.
Even if the signature is only a thin piece of paper in duplicate, according to regulations, after the signature is completed, it must be put into a special folder with matching numbers, included in the record, and archived.
This type of authorization letter has another name within the governing bureau -
——[Red Book]!
The authority of the situation that is superior to the black letter and the yellow book is second only to the white paper that can enforce laws and orders on the entire situation!
But considering the number and scope of borders it covers, it is no less than a regular white paper.
And now, the power that can be called a master has been delivered to Huai Shi simply and neatly——
"Now, you've got it, Mr. Huaishi."
Marion put away the signature pen and told him: "The Border Customs and Border Management Department will continue to follow up and supervise and work together to ensure border order.
What about other than that? Are there any other needs? "
Huai Shi shook his head and calmly put the red book representing terrifying power aside without caring.
With such an indifferent look, even Xuanniao couldn't help but sigh with emotion at his magnanimity and palace.
He holds such power without changing his face.
Compared with Russell, it is not inferior...
But in the brief silence, he heard Huai Shi's voice again.
"I understand the difficulty and complexity of the current situation. Kingdom of Heaven Lineage will do its best to fulfill its mission. At this time, we shouldn't waste time by saying too many irrelevant things.
But I think there’s one thing that it’s better to say sooner rather than later——”
As he spoke, Huai Shi reached out, took out another document from under the speech in front of him, and pushed it in front of everyone.
He said:
"—about the sun."
At that moment, in everyone's sight, the title on the cover finally appeared: [Proposal of the Soul Essence Maintenance and Management Association].
This short line of title has already made it impossible to maintain peace and solemnity in the conference room, like a huge stone dropped into a deep pool.
It makes people feel sluggish.
I started to doubt my eyes.
Even the calm smile on the corner of Xuanniao's mouth froze in place.
Only now did he finally understand why Huai Shi was indifferent to the weight of the red book.
Even if it is a canonization that is regarded as the supreme power for all borders, how can it compare with what he has brought out at this moment?
Marrow Maintenance and Management Association?
Is this some kind of joke?
The three pillars of the current state have never needed anyone's management, and the Pillar of Divine Essence is above all divinities and mysteries...it now represents only one thing.
——The scorching sun in the present situation!
The meaning of managing the Pillar of Marrow is no different from managing and maintaining the sun!
In other words...
As the unstoppable natural enemy Taiyi, Huaishi could have interfered with the situation and controlled everything, but he actually took the lead in giving in before any negotiations had even begun.
Take the initiative to put the authority of Taiyi under the management of the entire situation. They even took the lead in forming relevant institutions to supervise themselves.
Go and create matching shackles and cages for this unlimited power!
"Are you serious, Huai Shi?"
Xuanniiao put down the cigarette rod at the corner of his mouth and took the lead in asking solemnly.
"Of course, if you bring out such a thing on such an occasion, you won't be joking with everyone, right?"
Huai Shi nodded: "Due to time constraints, this initiative is only a draft, and the specific details have yet to be discussed, but I believe that there will be results before the end of the meeting.
The Kingdom of Heaven genealogy has never thought of controlling this current authority, nor does it intend to use this achievement to hijack or exchange for anything... This is not something that should be monopolized by any one person or organization.
He should not be led by selfish desires and operated by personal will. "
His fingers swept across the cover of the proposal and landed on the emblem of the Kingdom of Heaven pedigree. He gave a last smile, raised his head and said: "We will use this power for the current situation. The past, present and future will not be affected by it." It will change.”
This is the promise made by the heirs of the Republic.
.
When the meeting ended, it was already dusk.
I was in a hurry when I arrived, and the participants were equally nervous when I left. There were too many things to digest and discuss.
Not only the difficulties of the current situation, future countermeasures and immediate difficulties...but also the depth bomb dropped by Huai Shi at the end.
Marrow Maintenance Management Association.
Use the power of the entire reality to jointly manage the scorching sun of the reality to ensure that the weight of this reality does not fall due to individuals...
Such amazing courage and sharing.
In comparison, the previous mere red book was already insignificant!
Now, even if we all know that this may be Huai Shi, this little bastard trying to get hold of him, everyone has to jump in... Why not jump? Why not jump?
Such an important key, even the Administration Bureau and the Survival Institute had to shake it.
Even if Huai Shi doesn't open his mouth, someone will offer him everything he needs.
The present Supreme Being, the scorching sun that shines on everything, is equivalent to the authority of the three pillars... Just nod your head, and you are right before your eyes.
No more careerists will take advantage of this to make profits, and no arrogant people will use this to control everything.
But compared with this wonderful result, the price to pay is very simple.
——Do you want to be friends?
Become a friend of Huaishi, a member of the genealogy of the Kingdom of Heaven, a member of the Utopia!
"It's really your style."
In the smoking area of the current defense bureau, Ai Qing glanced at the man next to her who raised her head and drank the happy water and sighed softly.
As the most moral bitch in the world, Huaishi has always been impeccable in her behavior. Generous, generous, friendly, loyal, without any stain.
Just like a saint.
And if there is one of the many excellent qualities of this Utopian flirt that is most praised by people in adult society, then it is that he does not eat alone!
This guy is really capable.
When something happens, he really does it, and when there is food, everyone really eats it together!
Since his debut, in everything he has done, although he may sometimes be heartless and inhumane, he has never cheated any of his allies, and he has earned a dollar, which is definitely his partner’s fifty cents.
Since the beginning of the Danba Group, it has always been a model of win-win cooperation, and it is simply the kind of teammate that anyone dreams of.
Including the initiative of the Association for the Management and Maintenance of the Divine Marrow.
This is typical lawyer style.
Being the first to make concessions, it seemed that I had lost the initiative, but at the same time, I also lost the risk of being wary and ostracized by everyone.
At the same time, this power that cannot be controlled by oneself is taken out and controlled by everyone. At the same time, everyone will inevitably maintain it and willingly provide that huge consumption.
Share responsibilities, share consequences, and share gains.
If you win, you all win, if you lose, you all lose.
What he is best at is dragging people willingly onto his ship. So much so, even if someone sees his purpose and thoughts, they will never feel any rejection or displeasure with this goodwill.
“It would seem hypocritical to say ‘I don’t want to be a natural enemy’, but no one likes to be treated as a walking time bomb by everyone, right?
I prefer an approach that is acceptable to everyone. "
Huai Shi waved her hand indifferently and threw the can of happy water into the trash can. "There are some things that should be resolved as soon as possible."
As he spoke, he turned back and looked at the figure on the bench.
"It's been so long, how are you?"
"Are you talking about the endless overtime, work and endless intrigues, tormenting and pain, and the last step is wrong and everything is lost?" Ai Qing nodded: "Well, I'm fine. This is not a mockery, I like this. Work."
She doesn't hide her bad nature: "At least it's interesting enough."
"..."
Huai Shi shook her head helplessly, "What are you going to eat tonight?"
"The overtime B-type work meal is served with the bureau's rubbish coffee, and the desserts that accompany the meal are endless alarms and emergencies. It's so rich that it's ridiculous."
Ai Qing seemed not to hear the implication of his words, and replied calmly: "What about you?"
"Then I'm afraid I'll have to find someone to treat me to a big dinner." Huai Shi shrugged regretfully: "I hope I can finish the matter before eating, otherwise it will be too bad for my stomach."
"You asked for it."
"Who says it isn't?"
In the brief silence, Ai Qing finished her cigarette and suddenly asked: "Are you serious about the Kingdom of Heaven?"
"yes."
Huai Shi nodded.
If the Utopia is the soul of the Astronomical Society, then the Kingdom of Heaven is the soul of the Utopia in every sense.
Huaishi will not compromise on this point, nor can it be discussed.
After hearing this, Ai Qing nodded slightly, "Are you ready to convince me?"
"No."
Huai Shi shook his head, causing his slender eyebrows to wrinkle in displeasure.
Ai Qing's eyes gradually became cold: "So, do you really think that I will stand by your side at all costs, risk everything, and risk the whole situation being turbulent again?
Isn't that a little too much, Huaishi? "
Huai Shi also looked at her, letting the sharp gaze penetrate her eyes: "So I beg you, Ai Qing, to help me again."
"For the Utopia?" Ai Qing asked.
"No, for myself."
Huai Shi shook his head, mocking himself and sighing: "I have always had many questions and confusions about myself——"
"I wanted to know who I am and why I am who I am. All the answers I have been chasing have been there.
Only after confirming these will I have the courage to take the next step. "
"..."
Ai Qing was silent and looked at him.
In silence.
For a long time, he smiled mockingly, seemingly disappointed.
"You don't even want to use sweet words..."
Huai Shi was stunned and opened her mouth to speak.
But a hand roughly grabbed his tie and pulled him over. Just like pulling on a chain or collar, no resistance or hesitation is allowed.
Force him to face reality.
Face yourself.
No more escaping.
Then, such a gentle touch suddenly suppressed his consciousness, dominated his thinking, and took away his breath.
It made him freeze in place, immersed in the aroma of mint and tobacco.
Forgot about time.
For such a long time, he stared at the cheek so close to him, and those familiar eyes were looking at him from beginning to end.
Never escaped.
Until finally, she finally let go of her hand and stood up slowly.
Huai Shi finally reacted and breathed sluggishly.
Against the dimming light of the setting sun, he looked at her figure.
In the silence, Ai Qing just raised her hand and calmly wiped away the residue from the corner of her mouth.
"It seems like this isn't the first time."
She nodded slightly and said, "Let's just charge some interest."
That annoying old lady was right, some things have to be fixed.
So, we have to find a way... to solve the problem.
She raised her eyes again.
At that moment, Huaishi subconsciously wanted to lean back a little.
It's like the little white rabbit feels the gaze of a predator.
For some reason, basement, chains, imprisonment, and other weird words that made him shiver came to mind.
But outside the smoking room, the footsteps stopped suddenly.
As if suppressing an exclamation.
"Tsk."
Ai Qing frowned in displeasure and looked up.
The female clerk passing by was stunned for a moment, then quickly lowered her head in fear, pretended not to see anything, and left in a hurry.
Pretending not to see the person in charge of the fictitious agency messing with the lawyers, I still pressed my finger against the wall...
After a long time, she finally let go of her hand holding the tie and returned to her original position.
As if nothing had happened.
Just ask, “When are you going to start?”
"ah?"
Huai Shi hesitated: "Actually, tonight can be..."
Ai Qing took a deep breath and looked back, her eyes like knives: "I mean, border defense!"
"Ah, oh... yes, yes, border defense, I remembered it!" Huai Shi reacted, suddenly realized, wiping cold sweat and breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes, there is this thing... I almost forgot! "
"Hold on tighter."
Ai Qing reminded unhappily: "Border security is the hottest job nowadays, don't take it seriously. The Border Management Department and Customs are almost crazy with anxiety. It will be easier for them to deal with it, and the Justice Bureau will also remember you. Favor.”
"Don't worry, it's already started."
Huai Shi smiled nonchalantly: "With so many urgent things, you can't just finish talking and then do them slowly, right?"
Long before he set out, as early as the day after the War of the Realms ended, the Kingdom of Heaven lineage had already begun to take action.
Even if there is no canonization from the governing bureau, there is no guarantee.
Just like what he promised.
The Celestial Lineage will exercise this power for the present.
It's that simple.
He grinned happily and looked towards where the sunset was setting.
After the dim dusk, a faint light rose from the passing dusk.
In the darkness outside the current situation, between the silent borders, the Hell Fortress marched proudly.
Like the burning stars in the long night.
Spread the light.
