Chapter 461 The Only Suggestion
Snap——
The cigarette butt fell to the ground, forming a mess with dozens of other cigarette butts.
The no smoking sign on the wall now looks like a joke, but the person sitting here smoking at this moment may also feel like a joke to himself.
Chang Yue rarely put on the Special Management Bureau's suit, tied his tie, combed his hair, and shaved.
But the tie now looked a little crooked, as if he had become so accustomed to the deputy director's care for him that he couldn't even tie a tie properly.
"I actually said she wanted to work hard to become a human, hehe..."
Chang Yue raised his hand to adjust his tie, but no matter how he tried, the tie was crooked like a knot in his heart and could never be placed in the right position.
Snap——
The door next to the corridor opened, and a staff member from the Special Management Bureau was stunned when he saw Chang Yue.
"Director Chang? Didn't you just call half an hour ago and say you were coming to Pingjing City? How come you're here now?"
Then the staff member suddenly felt that it was a bit stupid to ask this question. There are still various opinions about whether Chang Yue is a human being.
"Qi Men Dun Jia, I haven't used it for years. Although it violates the regulations, now there is a reason. How about it, can I go in?"
Chang Yue didn't explain much. He stood up and looked at the staff member with a smile.
"Ah, yes... But I originally wanted to call you to tell you that your application to attend the conference has been approved and you can come to Pingjing City, but now... uh..."
The staff member thought for a moment, then stepped aside and said, "Please come in, Director Chang."
Chang Yue nodded to him as a thank you, then turned around and picked up the stack of documents on the bench.
"I'll get it for you."
The staff was a little surprised.
A director, and the director of the Tianhai City Special Management Bureau, doesn't even have an assistant.
"No need..." Chang Yue smiled and shook his head.
"She's right. It's time to shoulder some responsibilities."
Chang Yue's eyes were a little dim, with a wry smile on his face, and then he slowly walked into the huge conference room.
This conference room is only opened when the China Special Management Bureau holds important meetings, and it is also connected to the communication lines of major special management bureaus around the world.
At this moment, in the large conference room, representatives from various countries' special management bureaus appeared on their seats in the form of projections, and the entire venue seemed very noisy.
They seemed to be arguing about something.
Just ten minutes ago.
Communications were restored at the Prometheus base station.
And the huge mechanical monster finally ended its silence.
It offered humans a deal, or rather, gave humans a choice.
"Give us this alien named Li Muhan. We will fulfill the original agreement and prioritize the well-being of humanity, striving to bring happiness to all people worldwide."
You should be very clear about what we can do. Dear Creators, it is you who have given us these rights and the keys to every corner of this world.
We can stop all the conflicts in the world right now.
We can free all humanity from hunger and disease.
[We can even transform this planet, keep all natural disasters away from humans, and make everything on this planet usable]
[Finally... We will help humanity explore the galaxy and create a true future]
[Creators, you know very well that Prometheus can do all this]
[And the price of all this is just an alien]
All the major special management bureaus contacted their representatives in the underwater laboratories.
Mo Qiao also sent a distress signal to the outside world, and made it clear that Li Muhan is currently in confrontation with Prometheus, but this confrontation has no result or trend yet.
"In other words, in Prometheus's eyes, the alien Li Muhan from the Huaxia Special Management Bureau is as important as destroying all of humanity?"
"In that case, we believe this condition is acceptable."
"You're overly optimistic. Besides the Huaxia Special Management Bureau's key, which hasn't been compromised yet, Prometheus already controls 80% of its computing power. Can't you just think about why it's making such a demand? Wouldn't it be better to just wipe us all out?"
"That's true, but the situation right now is that we have no choice."
"Whatever it wants to do, at least it is willing to talk now."
Not only members of the Special Management Bureau were present, but also national leaders and military commanders.
After all, Prometheus is such a large project that the national level also participated in its construction, and now that something has gone wrong, they naturally have to bear the consequences together.
It's not just them.
Now all of humanity is bearing the consequences together.
A sword of Damocles is hanging over everyone's head.
No one can remain safe in this trial.
But as the officer said: At least it is willing to talk now.
"It seems we have no choice."
The director of the Special Management Bureau of District 91 sighed, adjusted his military cap, and looked at Lu Shan with his hawk-like eyes.
"Director Lu, what do you think?"
Lu Shan sat in his seat with his eyes slightly closed, as if he was isolated from the world and did not participate in any discussion.
But no one would let him go.
After all, the China Special Management Bureau is one of the three main responsible units.
Area 91 has destroyed a nuclear power plant, and the spread of nuclear radiation is still continuing. They are now the direct victims, and of course they don't want to see the other two main responsible units remain unscathed.
"Li Muhan is a detained alien in the Huaxia Special Management Bureau. This matter really requires your opinion from Director General Lu."
This time, the Asgard Special Management Bureau no longer stood on the same side as the Chinese Special Management Bureau.
A tall man with black hair and blue eyes was staring at Lu Shan at this moment.
Many people did not recognize this man. At first they wondered if this was Fenrir?
But those in the know denied it.
Fenrir didn't join the Asgard Administration at all, he integrated into the Royal Family, but that's almost the same, the Royal Family controls the Asgard Administration, and this man is also quite famous.
"Director Lu, keeping silent is not a good attitude." The man with black hair and blue eyes seemed more anxious than the people in District 91.
If for no other reason, the representative researcher now trapped in Prometheus is not just an ordinary Special Management Bureau technician.
Jörmungandr is considered one of the chief executives of the Asgard Special Administration.
Even if it was just a clone, if it was destroyed, Jörmungandr's original body would also suffer considerable damage.
"This guy looks like a nobody... How dare he speak to Director Lu like that?"
Some representatives of foreign special management bureaus who are closer to the Chinese special management bureau began to discuss in a low voice.
"Shh..."
The other person quickly stopped his companion from speaking.
"Nidhoggr...is no small figure."
Seeing that Lu Shan didn't say anything, the noise became louder and louder.
"That's enough! The Huaxia Special Management Bureau can't bear to part with their precious child!"
"What you said is not quite right. We are not even talking about a deal with Prometheus right now. We know nothing about it! But we know it wants Li Muhan, so Li Muhan may become our trump card!"
"Trump card? I think this might be a test of humanity from Prometheus. It could be Li Muhan, Zhang Muhan, or anyone else. Prometheus is just testing their obedience."
"But do we have a choice?"
"First stabilize it, then perform logic calibration and protocol coverage, and finally lower its threshold to a critical point so that we can put the shackles back on it."
"I think it's feasible. After all, Prometheus can really help humans and aliens move towards a better future."
"Yes, this is a weapon. Weapons can hurt anyone, but if used properly, this weapon can pave a way forward for us."
"Everyone, we have ten minutes left for discussion. After ten minutes, we will vote."
The projection sitting in the center of the conference room was obviously dressed differently from the other members of the Special Management Bureau. She was an elegant woman wearing a white robe and long golden hair.
The badge on her chest represented that she was from the Global Joint Special Management Bureau, and therefore she was fully qualified to preside over this meeting.
"There's nothing more to discuss."
"Leave Li Muhan to it. Temporarily stabilizing the situation is more important than anything else."
"After all...we don't have much choice."
At this moment, a loud voice came from the gate.
"You're so hesitant! How can this be so disrespectful!?"
The sound was so powerful that even those people who were just projections were shaken by it and trembled in their hearts.
Everyone turned their eyes towards the door.
I saw a tall and burly man wearing a neat suit but with a crooked tie, holding a stack of information and slowly walking towards the podium.
Bang--
He placed the information on the table and glanced at everyone present.
"Who is this person?"
"Fuck, Chang Yue, Director Chang, you don't know him? He's not only the director of the Tianhai City branch of the Huaxia Special Management Bureau, but also a permanent member of the World United Special Management Bureau!"
Those who knew Chang Yue had already started whispering to each other, while the others looked confused.
Some people showed a hint of disdain on their faces, such as the director of the Special Management Bureau of District 91.
"It's a good thing you're here, Director Chang." The Director of the Special Management Bureau of Area 91 gave a sinister smile. "It seems your General Lu Bureau can't offer any advice. We still have ten minutes to discuss this. You brought so much information here, so I guess you have some suggestions?"
Nidhogg from the Asgard Special Administration Bureau was also leaning back in his chair, looking at Chang Yue with his arms folded across his chest.
"Director Chang, please speak." He was very respectful to Chang Yue. After all, this man and Fenrir were brothers.
Chang Yue took a deep breath, and then smashed the table in front of him with a punch, sending the documents flying all over the place.
"I originally did a lot of work to convince you, but now I feel that there is no need."
Chang Yue pulled off his suit tie and then unbuttoned his suit jacket, his face showing that nonchalant look again.
"I only have one suggestion."
At this moment, Lu Shan also opened his eyes slightly and looked at Chang Yue.
Chang Yue also gave the only suggestion he brought this time.
"Totally destroy Prometheus!"
