Chapter 242 Reality and Impression

People have three urgent needs, which is an inevitable physiological problem. Wei Mu lost contact with the outside world for a short time.

The disconnection time was not long, only ten minutes. I don’t believe that without him in these ten minutes, the Milky Way will explode.

When he returned to the office from the toilet, the soldiers had already escorted a group of administrative officials to him.

Because everything developed too quickly, Wei Mu didn’t even have the slightest sign, so his first reaction when he saw this scene was that the world line had jumped and he had mistakenly entered a parallel universe.

"What's the situation? Didn't you say that their resumes were fine before?" After spending a few seconds to calm down, Wei Mu asked the judge on the side.

Maybe these officials were found to have some unforgivable scandal, so they were specially sent to him for punishment.

"It's all caused by your test question, and it was these soldiers who escorted them here, which has nothing to do with us." Quinn shrugged.

"The test question?" Wei Mu frowned when he heard it.

He knew that the other party was talking about the multiple-choice question he had specially set up. How could this cause trouble?

"So what are you doing?" Wei Mu turned to look at the soldiers in the room. They seemed to be eager to say something.

"These administrative officials have failed your expectations. They openly added content that is unfavorable to you in the test paper. This is the evidence!" An officer handed over the test paper of the previous exam, with a righteous expression on his face.

Wei Mu had personally reviewed the test paper for selecting the garrison of Black Stone Fortress before. He took the so-called "evidence" and scanned it roughly with his eyes. The content inside was almost the same as the version he checked at that time.

In this situation, it was obvious that it was a misunderstanding.

Poor administrative officials were tied up like dumplings one by one, the ropes were almost tied into the flesh, and their mouths were sealed with tape. They couldn't even shout a few words to defend themselves.

"Quick, untie them."

He quickly waved to the people next to him.

The guards who received the order stepped forward and removed the restrictions imposed on the officials with a deft hand.

"I'm sorry, sir, we..."

As soon as he tore off the tape on his mouth, Ju Yi cried out in grievance.

As the director of the administrative department, he was almost ashamed to death, and a grown man looked pitiful and like he was about to cry.

"It's okay now. Take everyone to the infirmary first, and I'll take care of the rest."

Wei Mu stepped forward and patted the other's shoulder comfortingly.

He was mainly responsible for the situation, and the officials of the administrative department were just suffering from an unprovoked disaster.

Fortunately, the conflict that broke out at that time was not fierce, otherwise these civil servants would probably be beaten beyond recognition.

"Yes, sir."

Ju Yi saluted Wei Mu solemnly, and then walked out of the room with his colleagues - this scene confused the soldiers next to him.

Seeing that the culprit was about to leave without any problem, they even opened their mouths to stop him, saying, "Wait a minute, sir, they..."

"They are following my orders to go to the medical room to check their injuries. Is there any problem with that?" Wei Mu interrupted directly.

"This, of course there is no problem with this, sir, but what they did, your sacred authority."

"I do have authority, but I am not sacred." Wei Mu looked at the officer who had just handed him the "evidence" and asked, "Star Army, which unit are you from?"

"Captain of the 74th Infantry Regiment of the Great Whirlpool, Gus Rawlins, rank of colonel, salutes you, sir."

The officer was still tense, and as he had been doing before, he solemnly saluted Wei Mu.

"Very good, Colonel Gass, I saw your vigilance and decisiveness. For my reputation, you and your colleagues attacked the administrative department and arrested those officials directly - even without any legal authorization, even if they were executing my will." Wei Mu said lightly, his tone calm.

"What, sir, this, how is this possible." Gaston panicked.

Because defending Wei Mu's reputation is the only legitimate source of their actions, and now this has been directly denied by Wei Mu himself.

This means that they are the ones who made trouble, and their original sincere hearts are now covered with guilt.

"You seem very surprised, why do I have to go against myself?" Wei Mu carefully observed the Star Legion Commander in front of him and many of his colleagues beside him.

They were confused and hurt.

"Yes, sir." Gass nodded.

"The trouble you have caused and your current situation are exactly why I do this." Wei Mu explained.

"Excuse my stupidity, sir, I don't understand what you mean - are you saying that you intentionally created this misunderstanding?" Gass asked in confusion.

"No, of course not." Wei Mu shook his head, "I didn't want to deliberately create a misunderstanding, but to check the loopholes. What you did proved that the loopholes did exist."

This is a lie.

Wei Mu is just using the mistakes they made to make a fuss.

"Then we disappointed you?" Gass asked again.

"No." Wei Mu shook his head again, "It's like asking 10,000 people to write a phone number, but someone will always write it wrong. It's a bit similar to a certain natural law, through a small Experiment, you made me realize it. Speaking of it, you should still have merit, but since you hurt the compatriots in the administrative department, this time the merits and demerits are directly offset. "

"But, sir, I still don't understand. Can you explain in more detail what all this is about?" Gass was scratching his head anxiously, and the unknown truth made him feel itchy in his heart.

In response to this, Wei Mu took a deep breath first, and then said slowly: "I heard the rumor circulating among the soldiers, Colonel Gass, because of the great success of this expedition, they have me in their hearts. Raised very high.”

"You are totally worthy of this, my lord, there are very few people in the empire who can achieve the same feats as you!" mentioning this, Gass said excitedly.

"Maybe, but this is also the first time that I have been so admired by everyone. Everyone has a first time, right?" Wei Mu said with a wry smile, "And when facing a field that I have never set foot in, holding the The best strategy for beginners is to be cautious and step by step.”

"Regarding this question, sir, didn't you gain such a status because you are good enough? This should be completely different from those beginners who climb up step by step." Gass asked doubtfully,

"I just accomplished a great cause, Colonel Gass. I haven't learned how to be a great person yet." Wei Mu reminded.

"Is there any difference between the two? People who can achieve great things are naturally qualified to become great people. All you need to do is serve the empire as always. There will be more glory waiting for us ahead." Gass continued.

"But here's the problem, Colonel Gass, something has changed, and I can't continue as usual - after my status was raised too high, I seem to have had some negative effects on you."

"No, no, everyone respects you very much. We are willing to do anything for you, we..." Gass said excitedly, but suddenly he seemed to have thought of something, and his words suddenly stopped.

What he was thinking of was the incident just now. They thought they were protecting Wei Mu, but in fact they were disobeying Wei Mu himself. All stemmed from their worship of Wei Mu - they would not stand for someone else. Ordinary leaders do this kind of thing.

"Why did you do this? If you hadn't been against yourself, we would never have made such a mistake."

"Because I want to confirm one thing - are you loyal to me or to who you think you are [me]? Now it seems that the situation should be the latter." Wei Mu explained with a smile.

"But, but how can you separate yourself?" Gass tried to defend.

"It's not me who separates myself, but you who separate me. My status is limited, but human imagination is infinite. When you inadvertently place too many expectations on me, the reality will be different from the impression. If we are separated and become further and further apart, all kinds of problems will arise - such as the trouble you caused today."

Hearing Wei Mu's words, all the soldiers present lowered their heads in shame. After all, they had really made trouble here.

"So to sum up, don't continue the rumors about me, and don't praise me too highly - your attitude towards me just needs to remain the same as it was at the beginning of the Maelstrom Expedition. That's where we started. When we started to achieve great victory step by step, there was no fanatical worship at that time. As for the further advancement of the title, or even direct canonization, neither I nor you are ready yet, so don’t touch it, lest it will happen. Lost control, do you understand?" Wei Mu asked solemnly.

His demands were neither excessive nor harsh.

"Yes, sir." The soldiers who knew they were in the wrong said quickly.

Wei Mu felt that it was enough to tell them not to do this through a small mistake.

And he felt that this matter needed to be publicized as a typical case. Maybe the empire would take a more cautious attitude towards personality worship in the future.
