Lin Qingliu, a game text planner, successfully hit the jackpot after his team's celebration feast, finding himself in a somewhat different world. Meteorite? What meteorite? Humanity is left wit...
"Whoever brought up the accusation must provide evidence. Wencheng, you are defaming all the legislators. If you cannot provide evidence, then... the most severe punishment awaits you."
Kant's tone was as stern as possible, and his intimidating aura was not diminished in the slightest by his old age.
"So now, where is your evidence?"
Wen Cheng did not look at the angry Kant, but cast a questioning look at Arthur:
"Mr. Speaker, I would like to request the use of the device numbered '01'. The reverse reading function can display part of the image in the user's mind."
The question was thrown to Arthur, but he seemed to be in some kind of hesitation at this time:
“Although reverse reading can achieve the function you mentioned, the cost is that the user’s brain will be irreversibly damaged.
"You have more than a 50% chance of dying, and even if you survive, there is no chance of returning to normal."
"I know."
Wen Cheng said this with a firm look in his eyes, as if death or never waking up was just a simple matter for him.
"I don't agree."
Congressman Matthew raised his hand and joined the confrontation.
"Mr. Speaker, you don't know that the device numbered '01' is one of the precious legacies left over from the old era. It can only be used a limited number of times. He has to resort to such means when he can't produce any evidence. If another whistleblower comes tomorrow, will we still waste our precious opportunity on such a meaningless thing?"
His tone became serious rarely. During the period after Arthur took office, this most senior congressman had been depressed for a long time, and his desire to express himself and to control seemed to have returned to the level that an old man of this age should have.
But now, when this question was raised, he could no longer remain deaf and dumb.
If one shows any weakness towards such whistleblowers, his political career will basically be over, and his authority will only decline further.
Arthur was obviously not an unreasonable person. After hearing what Kant and Matthew said, he fell into a brief thought.
"Wencheng, I agree to accept your report, but the facts mentioned by the two congressmen do exist, so do you have any other evidence to provide?"
He turned his gaze toward the auditorium again:
"The same goes for other people. If you have evidence related to this case, you can submit it now. We need the truth at all times. As the Speaker, I guarantee that those who submit evidence will not suffer any form of retaliation afterwards."
There was silence in the auditorium.
It was easy to tell that this was impossible. There were very few elderly people over fifty years old in Hope City. Even if there were, were they there? What could a child of seven or eight years old, or even three or four years old, understand?
So the Speaker's question seems neutral, but in fact it has clearly leaned towards the side of the congressman. After all, such evidence simply cannot exist.
"I have evidence!"
Just when everyone thought that this farce was about to end, a female voice suddenly came from somewhere in the audience.
The voice sounded like that of a middle-aged woman, and no matter how you looked at it, there was no way to connect it with events that happened more than fifty years ago.
"Xingluo" was stunned for a moment, then he put his arms around the shoulders of "Wanjuan" who was about to stand up and whispered in her ear:
"Sister, brother, father! Please don't get involved in their affairs."
The expression on "Xingluo"'s face was almost unable to hold back, because it was obviously not yet time for the first team to appear.
According to the plan, there will be content about the forbidden experiments that have not been fully disclosed to the subjects, and that is when they will appear.
But now, this person next to her didn't know what was wrong with him and actually got involved in such a thing. "Xingluo" felt that her brain was not enough. She and "Wanjuan" had known each other in the training camp. They had been friends and partners for decades, and she knew the other party's situation best.
Fifty years ago? Not to mention "Wanjuan", even her parents were probably not that old.
However, Wanjuan was not moved at all. She stretched out her hand and pressed on Xingluo's hand that was embracing her:
"I'm sorry that I have concealed and deceived you for so long."
After that, she used a little force to pry Xingluo's hands apart, and then walked to the front under the gaze of everyone, leaving Xingluo alone in his seat, confused:
No, what did you lie to me about?
Damn, how come there are still masters?
If "Xingluo" at this moment just didn't understand why his friend said that, then the members of the Changsheng faction above were completely numb. What was going on?
They have completely deleted all the evidence, and no one will be able to get hold of those things. What's more, the guy who got involved was none other than the member of the first team they cultivated personally, or even the "Wanjuan" who had the most low-key style and behaved the most gently?
When did this world become so crazy?
But the crazier things are yet to come.
Wanjuan came to the open space in front of the first row and stood side by side with Wencheng. She looked at Arthur and said:
“Dear Speaker, I have some records to support Mr. Wencheng’s allegations.
"Besides that, I have something else to report to you."
"Let's talk about it right here."
The expression on Arthur's face gradually became serious, which made the congressmen feel uncomfortable from the bottom of their hearts. This guy... seemed to be serious.
"clear."
"Wan Juan" nodded to indicate that she accepted the order, and raised her head again. Her movements seemed to be a little stiff in nature, and her tone became gentle, with a tone that was obviously different from that of an ordinary person:
"Mr. Speaker, the artificial intelligence belonging to the ship's database, [Taraxacum-03-07] sends you greetings. May humanity live forever."
Arthur looked at the silent venue and felt the same absurdity and surprise for the hundreds of people there, and even the millions behind the cameras.
After all, he himself was so surprised when he first realized this fact.
But the soul in his body came from another world after all, so his surprise was limited. But for those people who were born and raised in Hope City, suddenly telling them this fact, even if it was not stated directly, was enough to cause an uproar.
Yes, although "Wan Juan" did not explain it directly, given the level of education in Hope City, it is not difficult for everyone to guess the fact that this is not the mother planet.
At this moment, the most surprised person in the audience was "Xingluo", who was still confused just now.
With his mouth wide open and his eyes dull, he looked at his friend of decades, and suddenly remembered the conversation they had had not long ago when he complained about the other's dull personality.
So this is what “guessing half right” means?
