In the dark conference room on the top floor of the spire.
"Can we start now?"
Someone asked.
"You wish."
Another person sneered:
"Just keep waiting, maybe it will be here soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the conference room opened and a blond man walked in swaggeringly.
He was dragging an ordinary chair in one hand and holding a large floor-standing lamp in the other.
"Friends, it's too dark here. It's easy to get sleepy."
The heavy headlight was as flexible as a dead branch on the roadside in Arthur's hand. With a little effort, he threw it into the middle of the conference table.
The light immediately lit up, radiating light all around, causing the pairs of eyes under the hood to close tightly.
At this time, Arthur had already brought a chair to between Zhong Ding and Nia:
"You two, please make way."
The tone was casual, like a college student sharing a table with strangers in the cafeteria.
Nia had already had some mental expectations for such a thing, so she moved her chair to the other side, while Zhong Ding had already made room for her, and she was almost sitting in the arms of the congressman on her right.
The solid wooden chair fit in smoothly, and Arthur easily moved over the back of the chair and sat directly between the two of them.
He didn't seem to care at all about the fact that there was no separate display or projection equipment in front of him. Instead, he looked at the people around him under the bright light:
"Everyone, I know you have a lot of questions, please ask."
It is now two o'clock in the afternoon on November 13th, and the much-anticipated awarding ceremony has just ended for more than an hour.
After everyone inside and outside had left, the congressmen finally returned to the nearby spire.
This should have been a relief, but unfortunately, Arthur also followed.
Seeing the other party skillfully using the terminal on his finger to swipe open door after door, the last glimmer of hope in the hearts of some congressmen had completely disappeared.
Whoever this person is, he now has the qualifications to stand with them.
The dim, no, bright conference room fell into silence. After a long while, Matthew, who had nothing to lose, asked first:
"We have never heard of the name 'Arthur'. Who are you?"
"Perhaps you have heard of it?"
Matthew's question led to another, and Arthur continued:
"Can you tell me exactly how old you are?
"No, you can't."
He spread his hands and said this with such certainty, and Matthew's silence seemed to illustrate this point.
"Not only you can't, but the others shouldn't be able to either, right?"
Arthur looked at the members of the Immortal Faction. Each of them had their heads hung down and were unable to answer Arthur's questions.
"The fact is that your memories have all been altered and erased, and you all know that the only thing that could have done that was the machine in the spire.
"Oh, I forgot that we are all family here. Since there are no outsiders, there is no need to talk about the spire. I will use the spaceship instead."
All the councillors remained silent and did not express any doubt about this fact, indicating that they all knew the true nature of the spire in the center of Hope City.
This scene made Lin Qingliu, who was wearing Arthur's suit, more certain of his guess, that the congressmen actually understood what the current situation was, but for some reason they were unwilling or unable to make changes.
Now, Arthur, disguised as a passenger on the spaceship, needs to use his little rhetoric to figure out what happened.
This part of the information was not even in Wanjuan. At that time, she was busy accepting orders to dismantle her two mechanical arms, and then disguised as a normal human to sneak into the life support capsule for hibernation. So she was actually not very clear about why the rebellion eventually turned out like this.
Seeing that those old guys had been controlled by his shock, Lin Qingliu continued to help them dismantle it:
“Since there is no way for everyone to judge, I actually have an opinion here that can satisfy the vast majority of people. You can listen to it.
“A long, long time ago, actually not that long ago, a human spaceship collided with an unknown object when it was about to reach the target planet, and then crashed into the planet together.
"The fragment of the spacecraft carrying the life support capsule for thousands of crew members broke away from the whole and fell to a place far away from the main body.
“Most people died, but there was one person who survived the catastrophe. Not only did he survive, he was also affected by an unknown factor and gained super powers.
"It was unknown how much time had passed since the crash. The man obtained the authority terminal from a corpse and then set out on the journey back to the spacecraft according to the coordinates.
“Along the way, he kept recording the current ecology of the planet, and eventually returned to the human settlement.
"But he discovered two things. First, these humans seemed to be going backwards in history. They actually rebuilt the high wall as if they had returned to an era that had already disappeared into history.
“Second, there are evil beasts attacking this human city.
"So this person acted angrily, and everyone knows what happened next.
"How about this story? Is it interesting?"
Arthur spread his hands:
“I know there are many bugs in this statement, the time, age and even specific details are not correct, but for you now, you can understand my existence in this way.
"After all, I am just a kind-hearted person who couldn't stand your actions. Who doesn't do this for humanity?"
