Chapter 1000: Stories in History/Arresting People (Two-in-One Super Large Chapter, Please Vote for Me)

It wasn't until the black car drove into the gate of the city council building garden that He Ao took his hand back, waved goodbye to the people standing on the street, and then closed the car window.

He lowered his head and opened the book in his hand.

Putting his hands on the steering wheel and controlling the vehicle through the garden below the parliament building, Senna raised his head and glanced at the old man behind him who retracted his palm through the rearview mirror, and took a deep breath.

He Ao slowly turned the pages of the book in his hand. In fact, he had already read most of the book yesterday.

This ‘archaeological record’ is not a officially published book, and there is no information about this book on the Internet.

But this is normal. The most stringent federal review is for archeology books.

These archaeologists often unearth contaminated ancient ruins without knowing where they came from, and each one is more stubborn than the other. The more dangerous they are, the more they want to dig, and they can't stop them.

For example, in the archeology of the main world, digging graves may only reveal some ancient remains, but in the archeology of the copy world, it is really possible to dig up contamination from ancient angels and evil gods.

Judging from Linn's memory, there have been more than one case in the Federation where archaeologists excavated the ruins of an evil god, were contaminated without realizing it, and happily wrote about it to spread knowledge and pollution, and then created a new evil cult. matter.

Therefore, later on, the review of the publication of archaeological books was very strict. The more famous archaeologists, the stricter the review.

Of course, the inability to publish normally does not mean that it cannot be printed. There are many small printing houses in the Federation that accept this kind of printing service and print out individual books that cannot be published.

But in theory, this kind of book cannot be sold openly and can only be circulated privately.

The book that He Ao is holding seems to be such a printed book. However, judging from the fact that there is no information at all on the Internet, this book may not even be circulated privately. It is most likely that the author printed it and collected it himself.

The author's name 'Sfit' left on the title page of this book can easily be found on the Internet. He is an archeology professor at Irons College of Liberal Arts.

This book records the process and analysis of Professor Sfit who led a team to conduct archaeological excavations at the ruins of a Cataclysm-era city-state in the central part of the Federation.

It can be seen from the content of the book that this ruins is not unknown. The mercenaries and wilderness wanderers in the surrounding cities all know the existence of this ruins. Many people will also look for extraordinary items in this ruins, but few people have gone deep into it. remains.

Judging from the pictures and description, the ruins look a bit like the ruins Covey said he visited in his youth.

When the archeology professor named Sfit found the ruins, many things in the ruins had been destroyed.

The archeology professor also discovered a buried stone tablet at the entrance to the ruins, with vague notes on it to remind outsiders that entry was prohibited due to danger.

The professor judged that the time when the stele was left was probably from the end of the Cataclysm era to the early days of the former Federation. The workmanship of the stele was very rough, and it was obvious that it was made in a hurry.

The book includes a photo of this stele. The stele looks ordinary and is severely eroded, but when I first looked at it, the writing on it still attracted He Ao.

The handwriting was very similar to the handwriting of the owner of the manuscript he had seen who wrote down knowledge about the periodic table of talent sequences.

The archeology professor also described the stele in a line of small words in the remarks on the picture of the stele, as 'suspected to be a stele left by a certain founder of the Federation'.

Judging from this note, the archaeologist author may also recognize this handwriting, but he did not provide any more detailed description in the book.

Of course, this stone tablet is not the focus of the entire ruins.

At the back of the book, the author describes in detail the entire archaeological process of their team and roughly restores the history of this ruins.

The author believes that this ruins is probably a 'city-state' from the early stage of the Cataclysm, and it may have been the largest human city-state in the central part of the Federation at that time, and also the first large-scale human city-state.

This city-state has collected some of the achievements of civilization before the Cataclysm to a certain extent, giving them the ability to arm civilians and feed a large population.

The entire city-state is divided into an inner city and an outer city. Judging from archaeological clues, the inner city should be where extraordinary people and their relatives and servants live, while the outer city is where civilians live.

However, not everyone lives in the outer city. Even outside the outer city, which is now the outermost layer of the ruins, there are still traces of a large number of people living there.

The author infers that those living outside the city should be people wandering in the wilderness at that time, as well as 'slaves' of people in the inner city.

Through the archeology of the architecture, living conditions and life forms, the author found that this city-state was a very typical slave city-state with a very strict hierarchical system.

The entire city-state was subject to the will of the inner city, and because the promotion method of extraordinary beings was not determined at that time, all extraordinary beings in the inner city had obvious crazy tendencies.

Judging from the few records left in the city-state, the 'nobles' in the inner city sometimes slaughtered civilians in the outer city and slaves outside the city without any scruples and no reason.

This city-state submerged in history is filled with strong blood worship and mad worship. Many people even take pride in madness and killing, believing that such 'imitation' of extraordinary beings can allow them to 'gain power'.

They frantically collected relics from the pre-catastrophic civilization, while at the same time breaking into other human clusters and driving the defeated to become their slaves.

The entire city is dominated by two powerful extraordinary beings who are suspected to be B-level. The author believes that these two extraordinary beings are the main city lord and deputy city lord of this city-state.

The author found the residences of the two city lords and studied their living habits. He believes that compared to the main city lord, the deputy city lord is more rational, and it is the deputy city lord who maintains the basic order of the entire city.

Of course, this rationality is relative. In fact, both city lords have obvious crazy tendencies.

After detailed investigation, the author believes that the entire city-state was not destroyed naturally, but due to a sudden 'accident'.

At that time, the entire city-state seemed to be preparing for a grand 'sacrifice' and killed many slaves as 'sacrifice'.

But during the festival, the entire city suddenly 'disappeared', leaving only a few 'slaves' working outside the city who luckily escaped.

The main altar of the entire ruins had long been destroyed, leaving only some traces that seemed to be blood stains.

However, the author of this book still relied on his rich archaeological experience to roughly speculate on the scene at that time.

He thought that the two city lords of the city might have had some kind of dispute at that time. One city lord might have sneak-attacked the other city lord. This might have been premeditated. The battle ended very quickly, so there was a lot of blood but no traces left behind. What traces of battle.

Afterwards, everyone in the entire city ‘disappeared’.

Many people in the author's team believe that this situation should be that a certain city lord of the city-state hooked up with an evil god and completed a 'sacrifice'.

In the age of cataclysm, settlements and city-states that disappeared due to sacrifices to evil gods could be seen everywhere, and the already crazy cultists would do anything to please the gods.

However, the author’s opinion is slightly different from that of the team. He also believes that this is a sacrifice, but it is not a sacrifice to please the evil god, but a ‘promotion ceremony’ for a certain city lord.

The city lord sacrificed the entire city-state and his friends, which became a stepping stone for him to go further.

But what makes the author a little confused is that there are no traces of the 'promoted' city lord's departure left in the city-state, as if he also disappeared with those missing people.

At the end of the book, the author believes that this city-state is of great significance to the study of the early history of the Cataclysm.

Although this brutal slave city-state itself is very crazy and is a "bloody barbarian with a laser gun", they have largely collected the achievements of civilization before the cataclysm and even reproduced some of them.

After everyone in the city-state disappeared, the slaves outside the city took away these civilizational achievements and fled in all directions. Later, subsequent extensions of these achievements were found on the east and west coasts of the Federation. The existence of this city-state, to a certain extent, Promoted the progress of human civilization during the cataclysm.

Of course, even if he explained the historical significance of this relic, the federal central government still did not approve his publication permission, and no publisher even dared to publish his book.

Even though it is obvious that he has weakened a lot of extraordinary elements in order to write this book, there is still a lot of extraordinary knowledge and clues involving some unknown existences.

Of course, in this privately printed version, in addition to the weakened version prepared for publication, the author also appended a large number of first-time archaeological records.

The latter part was also the part that He Ao had not seen last night. He quickly flipped through the records, and he saw more clearly the cruelty of the entire ruins.

Most areas in the ruins have been distorted and mutated, with unknown monsters appearing and connecting unknown areas.

The professor hired a large number of local mercenaries and entered the ruins with them. In the end, almost 70% of the mercenaries were lost in the ruins, and nearly half of the archaeological team died, including all the direct students brought in by the professor. None of them came out alive.

Many people completely disappeared from the ruins without even seeing their shadows.

Even those who came out, many fell into madness afterward, constantly muttering terms such as 'abyss', 'prisoner' and 'death'. Some of these people committed suicide, and some also disappeared completely in sealed houses.

For a long time after coming out, the entire archaeological team was under FBI surveillance.

At the same time, the author also left a lot of information that was not stated clearly before. For example, the main altar of the entire city-state is in the deepest part of the city-state. In theory, no one has ever been there. Before these authors came, even the bravest mercenaries would not enter the ruins. inner city.

But when the author arrived there, he clearly saw traces of someone's visit, and the traces left were very new, only in recent decades.

The danger level of the entire main altar was far less terrifying than they initially expected.

Through analysis, the author found that the main altar should have had some kind of seal that isolated the inside and outside. The time when this seal was left was probably in the early days of the original federation, which is consistent with the time of the stone tablet outside.

A certain 'unexpected visitor' broke this seal decades ago and took away the dangerous power entrenched on the main altar.

Seeing this, He Ao closed the book slightly.

When He Ao and Scott fought last night, he asked Scott directly, and it was confirmed in Scott's mind.

Scott's power comes from the relics in the book. The power from the abyss assimilates Scott and then guides him to become stronger little by little.

but.

Why Yilan City?

Scott didn't think there was anything wrong with coming to Yilan City. He was from Yilan City himself, so it seemed normal to come back and join the army.

But as a Class B in Yilan City, Covey also visited that ruins when he was young.

Two people born in the same city of Yilan both traveled thousands of kilometers to the same ruins due to chance. One came back fortunately, and the other 'safely' entered the deepest place that no one has ever entered, breaking He broke the seal and came into contact with the power from the abyss.

Finally, both people returned to Yilan City again.

Is this the inevitable result of some invisible involvement? Or is it an accident caused by the population of more than nine million people in Yilan City?

The black car stopped slowly, and He Ao raised his head and looked at the towering city council building above his head.

The residence of the Angel of Yilan City, Honorary Speaker Levi, is on the top floor of this building.

"Mr. Linn, we're here."

Senna stopped the car at the main entrance of the building, then he took a deep breath and was about to say something, but in the end, he let out a breath and turned around, "Mr. Lynn, is there anything you need from me..."

Then he saw the smiling face of the old man behind him and the palm stretched out towards him.

Senna's movements froze, then he raised his hand and gave the old man a crisp high five.

All his tension and worries seemed to be resolved with this high-five.

He actually wanted to give the old man a high-five, but he didn't dare to mention it.

"exist

He Ao smiled and nodded gently to him, then picked up his cane, opened the door, and got out of the car.

"Roger that! Sir!"

Sena watched the old man enter the building, then took a deep breath, put a smile on his face, and patted the steering wheel with both hands excitedly.

——

parliament hall

"Why are there so many people outside?"

The man in the white shirt who came back from the bathroom looked out the window and looked at the dense crowd standing on the side of the street.

"Lynn is here."

The man sitting by the window was playing with the unlit cigar in his hand.

"Lynn?"

The man in the white shirt was stunned for a moment and said with a smile, "What is he here for? To convince us not to impeach him?"

"It is said that he has prepared many bills and wants to pass them in Parliament at once."

The cigar man glanced out the window and smiled.

"Those bills he has been pushing? Is he dreaming?"

The man in the white shirt sat next to the man with the cigar. "There is no way we can let him pass these bills, let alone pass them all at once today. Not to mention us, those congressmen who have different political views from him will not let him pass them either." , I have to drag it through today even if I have to drag it.”

"It's okay, he won't have time to think about this anymore."

The cigar man put down the cigar in his hand and glanced at the surrounding MPs who started to enter the hall and take their seats. "I just made sure that among the guys who are unwilling to accept money, almost half are against him. These people should be able to do it by then." Join us in voting for impeachment."

"Do we have to do this?"

At this time, the man in the white shirt hesitated for a moment and said slowly, "He is at the height of his power now. If we do this, he won't be targeting us, right?"

"What news did you hear again?"

the cigar man asked in a low voice.

"I heard that the headquarters building of Ivis Space System and Copes Mining was breached by the city defense army last night, and most of the executives were arrested,"

The man in the white shirt hesitated, "Will they turn us out?"

"What are you worried about? Those who contact us are all top-level executives, and the databases are all top-secret."

The cigar man picked up the cigar and laughed, "Is the consortium's encrypted database so easy to break? Just rely on the computing power of the city defense army?"

He looked at the man in the white shirt,

"And have you ever thought about it? Now that Lin En is at the peak of his power, when he really consolidates all his rights, will he let you continue to be a member of Congress comfortably? He has a lot of our financial groups in his hands. Evidence of campaign finance,”

He raised his cigar and pointed at the people on the street outside the window,

"Look at those people outside. When Lynn tells them to go to the left, they will not go to the right. When the time comes, they will choose whoever Lynn tells them to choose. Whoever Lynn wants to enter the parliament will be able to enter the parliament.

“Do you think if you try to please Lin En now, he will let you go?

"He has better MPs who can support him, so why should he use you, a vacillating and greedy traitor?"

As he spoke, the cigar man took a deep breath and said, "Now is when we have the greatest power. The further back we go, the more congressmen will sway towards Lynn. We only have one chance to overthrow Lynn. We will be rich and prosperous without overthrowing him." If you defeat him, you will be liquidated by him."

He raised his head and looked at the man in the white shirt again, "How do you choose? Or, are you running away with your family property now? Do you have enough money to spend on yourself?"

"you're right,"

The man in the white shirt took a deep breath and said, "We have no choice."

"don’t worry,"

The cigar man raised his hand and glanced at the time on his bracelet, "There are still ten minutes left. The meeting will start. Once the meeting starts, no one can stop us. Once the bill is submitted and everyone votes, we can consider the evening Which bar did you go to?"

He turned back and stared at the crowd that had not dispersed for a long time. "The flowers are blooming and the fire is cooking oil. I'm afraid Linn didn't even think that he would fall into hell at the height of the sun."

"really,"

The man in the white shirt let out a long sigh of relief, raised his hand and glanced at the time, "Next, it's time to turn everything around."

Parliament building elevator

"Mr. Lynn,"

The blond female secretary wearing a hip-hugging skirt and exposing her smooth thighs stood in the elevator and looked at He Ao, "Mr. Levi hasn't been back for a long time. Theoretically, he doesn't like people to go to his residence when he is away." .”

"He'll let me go."

He Ao calmly glanced at the elevator screen showing the rising arrow and answered casually.

The plump female secretary opened her mouth, then lowered her head and replied, "Yes, Mr. Mayor."

Buzz——

He Ao's bracelet vibrated, and he raised his hand to answer the phone.

"Mr. Lynn,"

The voice of the blond chief of staff sounded in his ears,

"Ives Space Systems and Copes Mining jointly issued a statement opposing the 'illegal sanctions' of the Ilan City Municipal Government and launched a 'counter-sanction' against the Ilan City Municipal Government. They announced that the factory in Ilan City will Stopped work and production, and refused to purchase products produced in Yilan City.

“Several cities around us also followed their lead and announced that they had blocked the commercial routes leading to Yilan City, claiming that they would conduct ‘special inspections’ on goods shipped to Yilan City.

“The commodities passing through these trade routes are mainly grain and metal raw materials, of which grain accounts for 47% of our total imports and metal raw materials account for 35% of our total imports.

"These cities are controlled by two major consortiums. They want to cause panic in the cities by affecting our food and economy."

Having said this, the blond chief of staff paused, "This will affect your approval rating."

"What did Irons say?"

He Ao asked slowly.

"I have reported to Irons that these cities and the two major consortiums are deliberately affecting our food imports,"

The blond chief of staff hesitated for a moment, "Irons said they would organize an investigation team to investigate and would never tolerate any behavior that affects the unity of the federation... But for now, they have not taken any action. When their investigation team is completed, we will Food is probably in short supply."

"Um,"

He Ao nodded lightly and said calmly, "Send a message to Irons and tell the men in the presidential palace that if they are unwilling to uphold fairness, then Yilan City will find justice on its own, and Yilan City's army can prove itself." The first time proves it the second time.”

"ah?"

The blonde chief of staff was stunned for a moment, as if she thought she was hallucinating. After a while, she took a deep breath and quickly responded, "Yes!"

"Thanks for your hard work."

He Ao said softly, reaching out and hanging up the phone.

"Mr. Linn, we're here."

At this time, the elevator also stopped completely. The secretary with blond hair and hip-hugging skirt pointed to the closed double metal doors outside the elevator door, "This is Mr. Levi's residence."

——

city ​​council hall

"Everyone, be quiet."

The elderly speaker stood on the main seat, holding a document in his hand. He glanced at the noisy members below and moved slightly closer to the microphone.

"The meeting will start in a few minutes. The resolution to be voted on today has been sent to the e-book in front of you. If you didn't read it last night, you still have time to look at it now."

The noise below became quieter, and the Speaker continued slowly,

"I would like to take advantage of this time to emphasize some of the meeting regulations..."

The man in the white shirt sitting in the corner raised his bracelet and glanced at the time.

There are still three minutes left, and nothing should happen.

He put down the bracelet and let out a long sigh of relief.

boom--

The closed door was suddenly pushed open, city defense soldiers and police rushed into the hall instantly, and the entire parliament hall fell silent instantly.

"This is the city council, what do you want to do?"

The old speaker straightened up instantly and looked up at the door.

"Mr. Speaker, don't worry, we are just handling some minor cases. This is an arrest warrant. The meeting has not started yet. Our operations are legal and will not affect the normal operation of the Parliament."

Tucker, who was standing at the door, gave a slight salute to the Speaker, and at the same time showed a thick stack of arrest warrants in his hand, then raised his right hand slightly, looked at some members of the hall, and said coldly, "Arrest people!"
