Chapter 324 Brussels Times

Pure headline-making.

David curled his lips and continued reading.

"A coup occurred in the Bantu Democratic Republic in December 2038. A group of armed soldiers calling themselves [World Tree] stormed into the presidential palace and overthrew the civilian president Tshisekedi Kumasi. This organization has been led by this organization since then."

“According to an investigation authorized by the Europa Union, the whereabouts of the president and about a hundred former military and government officials were unknown during the attack, at least 10,000 supporters of the president disappeared, and massacres continued in the following days.

"Ranger and his associates are charged with murder, sexual violence, torture, abduction and kidnapping and face life in prison if convicted."

"The [Red Poppy Chamber of Commerce], which investigated the attack, said the trial would be unprecedented in a country ruled by a dictatorship for decades. People are used to impunity by untouchable security forces."

“It was opened at the urging of Kapunde Kumasi, who promised the public the rebuilding of the Bantu nation and made justice his ‘compass’.”

"After the coup, Yggdrasil committed under popular pressure to transfer power to elected civilians starting in January 2039, and they would vote to decide a new president."

"European Union journalists once captured a rare photo of the scene in chaotic Kinshasa. The ranger ordered his associates to put Tshisekedi supporters in cages. He threatened to shoot all those who disagreed with him. people."

A blurry picture was inserted here. David squinted his eyes and could barely make out that in the picture a group of fanatics were locked in a cage, with one person holding his hands behind his back and giving orders.

The figure from behind was almost the same as Lin An.

The report continued:

"Each of us is free to express our views on who they will vote for and why they are voting for them, and we have taken note of the atrocities committed by Yggdrasil," Kapender Kumasi told reporters in Lakoon. '"

"Kapender said his conscience would not allow him to ignore the rangers."

"He said: The behavior of some people reflects terrible tyranny. When I led, dissent has never been so skewed to one side as it is now. Even the 'Kusima family must fall' faction can freely express their views."

"He claimed that dissenting voices were suppressed under the leadership of the rangers and that he had an obligation to save the Bantu people from the Yggdrasil."

"Carpenter declared that the Bantu Democratic Republic was going through 'a period of difficulty, disunity and disharmony' and said he would seek a 'new beginning' in Yggdrasil's stead."

"It is my responsibility to expose the true face of the world tree and its rangers. We must work together to narrow the boundaries of poverty, unemployment and inequality," Kapender told reporters.

David scrolled the mouse, and the report ended there.

This report appeared in the New Year’s headlines of the Brussels Times and has been read more than 500,000 times.

"You actually put living people into animal cages! Do they still have the most basic humanity?"

"I heard that the World Tree is a group of cannibals from the rain forest, with the blood of the slaughter of the uncivilized world flowing in its bones."

"By the way, [World Tree] has the same name as a forum I registered before, word for word. What is the relationship between the two?"

"I also know about the World Tree Forum! An anonymous virtual community that discusses occultism, abnormal events and conspiracy theories. I'm looking to see if the account I registered in high school is still there..."

"It's terrible! God bless this country!"

"Support Kapender Kumasi as Bantu President! Tyrants and dictators will bring many disasters to the poor people of Southern State!"

"Free the civilians! Let them be free!"

David rolled his eyes, not bothering to look at the comments section anymore.

"It's nonsense." He said, "What qualifications does the son of a selfish giant have to talk about 'free elections'? What's more, this guy also spread rumors that you use violence to eradicate opposition elements - only his father would do this Kind of something!"

"Things are a little complicated." Lin An turned around the computer screen, "Most of my companions come from the rainforest. Four months ago, they were still fighting against the cruel nature."

"So what? There is no shortage of gentle wolves and beasts in the city." David said nonchalantly, "President Tshisekedi is to blame. Even without you, he will lose the next election - if he doesn't resort to tricks."

"I dare say that before this report, few people in Western State have heard of the name 'Tshisekedi Kumasi'. They don't know his deeds. They only know that he was elected through election, and I was elected through violence. Resist.”

"Just run for election. I can guarantee that half of the people in Kinshasa will abstain from voting and half of the people will support you. They have had enough of the Kumasi family."

David pointed to the pictures in the report with an indignant expression.

"In order to smear you, I used IA to synthesize such low-quality pictures. Fake news! It's so bad."

"This is where the 'complication' lies." Lin An said, "This photo is real."

"ah?"

"The reason why almost no one in Kinshasha misses Tshisekedi is because I put his cronies and supporters in a cage." Lin An opened a corner of the curtains and had a panoramic view of the scene in the back garden, "No Did you find his private menagerie empty?”

David was silent for a while, then he retracted his hands and looked to Lin Xile to one side.

She sat aside consciously, carving the leaves with a knife. The girl's quiet and elegant temperament made David feel calm, and his mood eased a little.

"Miss Emera looks very similar to you, Mr. Forester, are you related?"

He moved to an irrelevant topic and returned to using the honorific, which meant that he no longer wanted to be friends with Lin An and wanted to end the meeting quickly.

"To be precise, it's my alchemy creation." Lin An seemed not to notice David's change in mood, and still maintained a polite smile, "I don't know if she will be there after the star path of 'Comes' leaves." It will disappear."

"Co-Kosmos universe?"

"Comes, it's what caused the recent series of changes on Titan."

"I don't understand what you're talking about, Mr. Ranger."

"Let me demonstrate it again, just like I demonstrated the making process of the Ash Leaf Medal using the [Philosopher's Stone]."

As soon as he finished speaking, countless flexible tentacles suddenly appeared on Lin An's waist, covering the ground, and sticky mucus was thrown on David's bloodless face. He was so frightened that his whole body stiffened and his pupils shrank to the size of needlepoints.

Such realistic 3D imaging?

No! This...is the real thing!

Why do sea monster limbs appear behind the ranger? ?

"Fuck Fuck!"

What answered him was a light "clatter" sound, like the wind blowing feathers.

A Maori who came with David suddenly became violent, raised his right hand high, and stabbed down violently.

"Pfft!"

The salty ichor burst out from the tentacle wound and splashed all over David's face. The corrosive effect made him scream in agony.

"Crazy! I must be dreaming!"

"Mr. O'Connor, I protect you from the sea, for I am a descendant of Tangaroa, the sea god, and he will command the sea to help me and those under my protection!"

A rough voice sounded, and a burst of coolness covered David's burning and painful wound. The pus flowed down, fell on the carpet, and melted invisible.

The next moment, the surroundings were shaking violently, and David seemed to be on a sailing boat, drifting in the rough sea.

All the abnormalities lasted less than a minute, but he felt that a long century had passed, and he was in a state of confusion, with stars in his eyes.

When the tentacles, sea breeze, and shaking finally stopped, David raised his heavy arm and pointed at Lin An, who had not moved from beginning to end.

"You drugged me! Damn it, ranger, why did I trust you so much! Damn it, please give me your money back..."

That’s right, only hemp grass can give me so many real hallucinations!

"David, you are a staunch materialist warrior."

Lin An watched helplessly as David fell to the ground unconscious, and a Maori caught him. It was the mysterious man who had just used a harpoon to repel the tentacles.

[Name]: Whale Rider, Pikea, Tangaroa's Favored One

[Rating]: Disaster C level

[Radiation value]: 18.5%

[Pollution level]: 31.1%

[Media]: God of Farming

The system hit the panel on him, and as expected, it was a mysterious prototype of Maori.

Maori mythology mentions that Paikea is the ancestor of the Maori people who conquered the island. He once sat in a red canoe and set sail.

The sound of sailing alarmed the sea monster Ruatapu, who recited a magical Karagia prayer, causing five huge waves to overturn Pikea's canoe, causing him to fall into the sea.

Then Pikea shook a string of feathers from Poseidon, and Tangaroa heard it and sent a whale to bring him ashore.

The heroic Pikea rode the whale towards Ruatapu, killed it, and captured the nearby islands.

He is a symbol of the struggle between Maori and the sea, and the best example of their love for and fear of the sea.

"It's not good for you to scare him." Pikeya spoke in broken English.

"Let's change the conversation to Polynesian." Lin An used [21 words] to master the other party's native language. "It's not to scare him, I just want to give him a piece of science on 'Comes'."

"He doesn't need to know the origin of Maui." Paikea shook his head. "The ancestors of the O'Connor family signed a peace agreement with us when the volcano was dormant. He protected our territory, and we protected their descendants during the eruption. days."

The so-called "volcanic dormancy and eruption" refers to the departure and overlapping of the "Comuth" star orbit. Lin An thought that the "origin of Maui" was probably radiation energy.

In the fragments of the Times, Lin An noticed that there were several mysterious people among the Maori who followed David. Without their protection along the way, this silly son of a landlord would not have been able to survive in the crisis-ridden South Island.

This group of people deliberately prevented David from coming into contact with knowledge related to "Comoth". To this day, he does not believe in the existence of another fantasy world.

However, as the star paths overlap, the existence of the mysterious person will inevitably be integrated into "society".

For example, the smear campaign by the Red Poppy Chamber of Commerce.

If it weren't for the fact that after the report was issued, Lin An's deviation value directly exceeded 90%, the measurement value increased by a full seven to eight hundred, and the degree of integration had stagnated, he would not have bothered to care about how the people of Xizhou viewed the World Tree.

Lin An couldn't put aside the mystery and explain why he wanted to lock up those more than 10,000 people.

Moreover, he noticed that David's aura was strange, and he was afraid that he was about to awaken the mystery. If he still knew nothing about "Comes", it would be very dangerous, such as the pollution level getting out of control, etc.

Lin An told this theory to the Maori, who pondered for a moment and replied.

"Indeed, there is nothing we can do to prevent Mr. O'Connor from becoming a warrior of the Tarn - or as you would say, the Mystic."

"I'm glad we came to an agreement."

Lin An turned the [Philosopher's Stone] and healed David's body and mind.

He groaned and woke up. The Maori people swarmed him and told him the whole story.

Ten Years of "Cormus" Radiation, Mystics, Twelve Spirit Mediums, and the Truth About Tshisekedi's Locked Up "Supporters".

A large amount of information came pouring in, which made David feel dizzy and finally couldn't help but burst out.

"Stop, stop, stop!"

He slammed the table and the three of them stepped back.

"So in a corner that I didn't know about, the whole world filmed Pacific Rim? Why didn't you tell me earlier and didn't remember until Godzilla hit me in the face?"

"With all due respect, Mr. O'Connor, based on your understanding of occultism, even if the spiritual medium that attracts 'Comes' awakens and becomes a mystic, it is still the lowest, most ignorant, and weakest type. There is no such thing as Any use.”

"Now we only need to take care of your daily life and ensure your safety. When you become a mysterious person, we will have to keep an eye on whether your 'pollution level' exceeds the limit."

"That's right, Mr. O'Connor, attracting 'Comuth' will definitely do you no good, because you are a pure product of modern society. If you didn't want to rely on charities, you would still be a complete idiot." of atheists.”

"..."

David's face twitched and he gritted his teeth.

"Brother, I'm keeping you safe, but you're treating me like a monkey!"

Lin An, who was just starting to work on his own, glanced at him and coughed slightly to attract his attention.

"Your ID card registration is complete, David."

"Haha, great, what's my number?"

"Sprouter-001."

"Brother, I am still the first big bastard to sponsor." David was silent for a long time, then sat up like a carp, "Let's go back to the boat. Ranger, in any case, thank you for your honesty and patience. I will send you an email tomorrow. "

He cursed and lectured the Maori who followed him, and the four of them left the Houses of Parliament together.

Lin An's eyes turned to the computer. The data of a forum with a black background was jumping, and the top posts were constantly being pushed up by replies.
