Chapter 1001 Between the Abyss and Reality

A group of policemen and city defense troops quickly glanced at every congressman, and then walked towards some congressmen.

"Why are you arresting me? I'm a city councilor!"

The man in the white shirt sitting in the corner slammed the table, stood up, and looked at the policeman walking towards him.

"There is ample evidence, sir,"

The young policeman standing in front of him took a breath and raised his hand to show his electronic arrest warrant.

"You are related to the Ivis Space System Mercenary Group and the Copes Mining Mercenary Group that attacked Yilan City last night. You accepted bribes from the Ivis Space System and premeditatedly helped the Ivis Space System commit betrayal. Things about Yilan City.”

"What are you talking about?!"

The man in the white shirt froze, looked at the young policeman in front of him, and said angrily, "You want to slander me?"

"The evidence is clear, sir, and we are not slandering anyone,"

The young policeman shook his head, "According to the constitution of Yilan City, anyone who causes rebellion or rebellion, or gives help or encouragement to the enemies of Yilan City, is not allowed to serve as Yilan City councilors or government civilian or military officials."

He picked up a pair of magnetic shackles and handcuffed them on the left and right hands of the man in the white shirt. "You once swore an oath of office to the constitution of Yilan City, but now, you have violated your oath. You are no longer a member of Yilan City."

boom--

The silver handcuffs activated and sucked them together.

At this time, the tall city defense soldier next to the young policeman also stretched out his hand and cuffed the man holding the cigar next to the man in the white shirt.

“This is a political persecution!!!”

The cigar man yelled angrily. He looked at the Speaker standing at the top, "We are city councilors, we have immunity, you can't arrest me!!!"

“In accordance with Article 1, Section 6 of the Ilan City Constitution, members are not subject to arrest while a council meeting is in progress, nor may they be questioned in any other place for speeches or debates delivered in the City Council.”

Tucker, who was standing at the door, looked at the cigar man, raised his hand to look at the time, and replied loudly, "But there are still two minutes until the meeting starts, take it away!"

The tall city defense soldier directly dragged the cigar man and walked towards the door.

More and more deputies were arrested and dragged out the door.

"Lynn, you monomaniac! You lackeys! You are excluding dissidents! Undermining the Constitution!"

The cigar man roared as he walked away.

"I want to see Lin En. I am not guilty. Why are you arresting me! I am a city councilor! You are slandering me!"

The man in the white shirt also yelled from the side.

But soon his voice was lost in confusion.

"A single man! A tyrant!"

"No, why are you arresting me? I am from Mr. Lin En's party! I support him! I support him!"

"I want to see Mr. Lin En. I have shed blood for the party! I have contributed to the party! I want to see Mr. Lin En!"

"No, my wife is going to give birth. Give me a chance to meet my wife. I promise to come back right away!"

"I'll give the money back, I'll give the money back, don't arrest me! Don't arrest me!"

······

Amidst the uproar and confusion, all those arrested were led out of the parliament gates.

The entire parliament hall was instantly missing nearly half of its people, and even seemed a little deserted.

"Are you even arresting people from Lynn's party?"

The old speaker looked at Tucker with a livid face.

"According to Mr. Linn's order, we only arrest people based on whether they are guilty or not, regardless of proximity. From the moment they contact Elan's enemies, their identities are useless."

Tucker looked at the surrounding police officers who quickly left the parliament hall, and saluted the old speaker again, "Excuse me, please continue."

Then he slowly exited the parliament hall and reached out to close the door of the parliament hall.

"Director, there is a congressman here who said his wife is going to give birth. Let us give him a chance to see his wife."

Behind Tucker, in the dense crowd, a police officer immediately ran over and spoke to him quickly.

"Why didn't he give his brothers on the battlefield a chance when he contacted the consortium?"

Tucker turned around and looked at the police officer with some confusion, "Is his wife really pregnant?"

"We didn't find any information about pregnancy, and he couldn't provide any evidence. When asked about it, he hesitated."

The police officer shook his head and took out a tablet, "His wife is over sixty years old. She uses the city council's free physical examination every year. We checked the medical examination report collected by the city council. His wife has gone through menopause and is sterile. A physical examination three months ago also showed no signs of pregnancy.

"And his wife is a second-level accomplice. According to the investigation data, the couple is transferring property to Chenxi City and has booked a ticket to leave Yilan today."

"The editor wants to escape, right? His wife is on the next batch of arrest lists?"

Tucker glanced at the tablet.

"Yes,"

The young police officer nodded, "We don't have enough manpower right now. She is on the arrest list for the afternoon."

"Then put his wife in line,"

Tucker raised his hand, "Find a few people, catch them now, and give them a chance to meet."

"yes."

The police officer responded immediately, then turned and walked into the crowd.

Tucker raised his head and looked at the sunlight coming in from the corridor. He took out his cigarette case, took out a cigarette, held it in his mouth, but after thinking about it, he put it back.

"What's wrong? Director."

The young policeman passing by looked at him.

"It's nothing, I just feel like,"

Tucker put away the cigarette case in his hand, looked at the bright light in the corridor, smiled and sighed, "The sun still shines in here."

Levy Apartment on the top floor of the City Council Building

[Mr. Lin En, there are two reporters who want to conduct an exclusive interview with you. They seem to be the reporters from the last press conference. This is their information. ]

Standing in front of the gilded double doors, He Ao lowered his head and glanced at the message on the bracelet and the accompanying information on the two people.

[good]

He replied casually.

[What time period is better to make an appointment? ]

The other person replied immediately.

[Just this afternoon. ]

He Ao replied quickly, then put down his bracelet and looked at the female secretary who was already standing in front of the door.

"Mr. Lynn,"

The female secretary looked at him and looked over, nodded slightly, reached out to swipe her bracelet, opened the door, revealing the spacious space inside, "This is the living room of the apartment. Every time Mr. Levi has guests, he will bring him here." , I only have authority over this door..."

Before she could finish her words, she felt a strong hand grab her shoulder and pull her back.

Then a golden stream of light streaked across the end of her field of view and plunged into the ground.

The female secretary turned around and landed behind He Ao, barely standing still. Only now did she have time to look at the bottom of the golden cane.

It seemed to be a shadow with a human head and a snake body, nailed to the floor by a golden cane, struggling hard.

Then she saw the old man holding the cane tap the cane with his fingers, and a slight tremor was transmitted to the shadow's body. The shadow's body suddenly trembled, froze, completely lost its voice, and collapsed in the void. .

"Mr. Linn, this, this is?"

The female secretary bent her thighs slightly, wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, and asked tremblingly.

"It should be an abyss monster,"

He Ao stretched out his hand and crossed the door that had just been opened, feeling the cold atmosphere inside the door. "Is there such a thing here?"

"No, no,"

The female secretary trembled and said, "Normally even dust doesn't fall here."

"You don't have a combat-related talent sequence?"

He Ao looked back at the female secretary. The female secretary who brought him in has been stationed in the city council building and is Levi's full-time secretary.

He could feel that the female secretary should be a C-level transcendent, but she seemed to have little fighting ability and little experience.

"Yes,"

At this moment, the female secretary who was frightened and lost her mind finally regained some energy, stood up tremblingly, and whispered, "Talent Sequence 68: Nutritionist, Mr. Levi saw that I did a good job, and specially found some for me. Secret medicine.”

"Um."

He Ao withdrew his gaze and looked towards the hall behind the door.

The decoration of the entire hall is mainly black gold. Facing the door is a floor-to-ceiling window with a gilt pattern. The entire hall is divided into two parts on the left and right by shining thin landscape bamboos.

To the right is an exquisite black sandalwood bar, while to the left is a thin bamboo landscape blocking the view.

"Did Levi say anything to you when he left?"

He Ao withdrew his gaze and looked at the female secretary aside again.

"No,"

The female secretary shook her head. After the fright just now, she seemed to realize that something was wrong, and said slowly, "Mr. Levi sometimes leaves or hides behind closed doors for a period of time. I usually don't get a reply when I call him. If he leaves, then I will announce his absence."

"In other words, you didn't see him leave with your own eyes?"

He Ao withdrew his gaze, stretched out his hand, and felt the cold atmosphere that filled the hall.

"Yes,"

The female secretary looked up at He Ao, hesitated, and asked in a low voice, "Did something happen to Mr. Levi?"

"It needs to be investigated."

He Ao shook his head.

"I will send you some information about this apartment. There is a hidden door on the left side of the hall. Behind the door is Mr. Levi's private residence, which contains Mr. Levi's bedroom, study room, and some studios."

The female secretary raised her hand, operated the bracelet, and then whispered, "Mr. Levi does not allow anyone to enter, so I don't have an access card."

"Okay, I know."

He Ao said slowly, "You go downstairs first, and just leave it to me."

"OK!"

The female secretary hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly and walked into the elevator.

As the elevator door closed, He Ao looked forward, picked up his cane, and crossed the door.

A deep and cold breath instantly penetrated his body. The originally very bright hall, illuminated by the sunlight outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, became unusually dim after He Ao crossed the door.

He Ao raised his head and looked out the window.

The blazing morning sun shines through the window, looking dim and dark, as if it's dusk.

He turned back and looked at the double doors behind him.

As he entered, the double doors closed automatically.

Under the vision of his spiritual consciousness, some hidden flowing energy patterns carved on the walls and doors appeared in his eyes.

These lines seemed to form some kind of special magic circle, which 'trapped' these twisted and cold breaths in this hall.

Silk——

There was no wind in the hall, but the dense landscape bamboos that isolated the left and right sides swayed and made a cold and harsh sound.

Between the cracks in the thin bamboos, there were faintly twinkling eyes, watching He Ao as he entered the hall.

He Ao turned around. He seemed not to have heard these sounds. He picked up his walking stick and crossed the passage between the thin bamboos.

The eyes also turned their gaze, carefully spying on him.

The moment he passed by the trembling thin bamboos, the old man turned his head and glanced at the landscape bamboos.

All the shaking suddenly stopped at this moment, and the whistling sound stopped abruptly.

Just like a prey being stared at by a ferocious beast, its body stiffened for an instant.

The cold atmosphere in the air seemed to be dissipated a little at this moment.

He Ao withdrew his gaze and continued to move forward.

The decoration on the left side of the hall is very simple, with a few reception tables and a reading area with a small bookshelf. There are some books on humanities and history on the bookshelf.

Soon, he arrived at the far left wall of the hall.

He Ao stretched out his hand and touched the wall.

A biting chill flowed down his fingertips, and twisted and crazy murmurs exploded in his mind in an instant.

He pulled back and stared at the wall.

The cold air that spread throughout the hall seemed to seep out from the wall.

The twisted and cold breath from the abyss seeped out from the wall and spread into the hall.

He glanced down at his fingers that had just touched the wall.

However, there seems to be something extra about him in this wall, which does not belong to the abyss, but is a bit familiar to him.

He Ao's eyes scanned the entire wall, and soon he found the hidden door on the wall that the female secretary had mentioned.

He walked to the door and pressed the door lightly. The door was closed.

Then he put his hands on the door and jerked.

boom--

With a loud sound of tearing metal, the entire door was pushed open with a bang, and a long and narrow corridor appeared in front of He Ao.

A colder and colder atmosphere suddenly hit my face.

The light above the corridor flickered, but it was unable to illuminate any area.

There is no door leading to the bedroom or study room in this corridor as the female secretary said. There is only a direct corridor with walls on both sides that are mostly hidden in the hazy light.

The deeper you look, the darker and darker the entire corridor becomes. You can't see the end clearly, as if it extends from reality and leads to a bottomless abyss.

He Ao glanced at both sides of the corridor with a conscious gaze.

On the exquisitely decorated wall, some fine lines flowing with energy are vaguely carved.

This may be the real 'lock' in this area, some kind of defensive extraordinary magic circle.

But obviously, this magic circle was not activated. When the magic circle owner left, he was in too much of a hurry and did not have time to lock his room.

Looking at the end of the dark corridor, He Ao raised his steps, crossed the door, and entered the corridor.
