As soon as these words were spoken, the members of the First Team, who had already been frightened several times, could no longer hold back. "Disaster Core" and "Strong City" even stood up directly.
Arthur had expected their overreaction. He looked at the two people who were very emotional and said:
"I'm also very sorry about this matter. Lucas didn't have to die. It was my excessive impatience that led to all this.
"I didn't have the authority to interrupt the activation of his implant at the time, but you are different."
After saying that, Arthur looked at the five people in front of him with a burning gaze, including Lucas' successor, the new "Holy Shield".
"Now that I have regained my authority through the subsequent events of the Beast Tide, I hope I can help you.
“This system hardware from the spacecraft was originally provided for use by the carrier of artificial intelligence. For humans, once implanted, the body will inevitably have some rejection reactions. In addition, this device also has relatively serious harm to the brain.
"Otherwise, why do you think Lucas got sick?"
After listening to Arthur's narration, the new "Holy Shield" covered his chest unnaturally.
His heart has been sounding alarms frequently recently. It is a warning mechanism that comes from the body. Although he has tried to reduce strenuous exercise and all behaviors that are harmful to the body as much as possible, those things combined cannot compare to the pressure brought to the body by a barrier that needs to be maintained and adjusted twenty-four hours a day.
The other people also had their own abnormalities. "Xingluo" had shown obvious vision loss in recent years. As for "Zaihe Core" and "Jiancheng", one was unnaturally thin and the other's skin color had changed.
"So, please tell me, before undergoing the implant surgery, did the MPs fulfill their obligation to inform? Were the possible complications and sequelae explained in detail? Have you been told about the tremendous pressure you will bear for the rest of your life?"
Several people fell into deep thought.
The answer to the question is actually not complicated, it is simply “no”.
As they shook their heads one after another, Arthur showed a slightly mocking and helpless smile on his face:
"Look, you clearly have the will to sacrifice yourself for Hope City and humanity, but they can't fully trust you. Not only did they not inform you before the operation, they even added a self-destruct device to prevent you from colluding privately...
"I can feel that each of you is not loyal to the congressman, but your sense of responsibility to humanity drives you to persevere until now."
A touch of emotion flashed across the face of "Disaster Core". He raised his face with high cheekbones and looked at Arthur:
"What do you want?"
“I promised not to pursue the mistakes made by the councillors from the establishment of Hope City to a month ago, but their persecution of you continues, and before the establishment of Hope City... they also committed irreparable evil deeds.
"What awaits them will be a trial, and you are both victims and witnesses.
"After the trial, I will take back their authority, and you will be given a new life."
"No……"
"Xingluo" may have been accustomed to decades of pain. She looked at Arthur with some fear:
"You mean, there will be no councillors in Hope City?"
"yes."
"No, we can't do that."
"Xingluo" actually didn't know what she wanted to say. She did hate the actions and bossy attitude of the congressmen, but on the other hand, she knew clearly that it was those old bones and young people with different personalities who were ruling the City of Hope today.
Without the congressman, the city might... collapse.
“Nothing is impossible.”
Arthur seemed to have used some ability to calm the anxious and frightened "Xingluo" down quickly:
“Hope City will continue to function without anyone. Councillors are not necessary, and neither are those present here, including me. Don’t take anyone so seriously.
"You don't have to worry about the safety of Hope City after the devices are removed. My body can withstand these things. If it really doesn't work... I have other ways. Anyway, no one will die because of this, and these devices will not fail."
Arthur looked around again and said solemnly:
"I will solve the problems, I will bear the responsibilities, and I will judge the sinners. So now, who is against my plan?"
The people in the first team seemed to have heard a promise that would never be broken. Although they had only met the Speaker a few times before, his style of doing things over the past month had already made them feel a sense of trust.
In the end, everyone nodded with relief, both for themselves who had been deceived in the past and for themselves who might be able to enjoy the rest of their lives in the future.
"Okay, then everyone, let's get started."
Arthur's face showed a sunny expression. Everyone looked at the nutritional paste in front of them and looked at each other in confusion for a moment.
The big golden guy smiled and said:
"I've been eating this for a while, let me teach you."
As he spoke, he tore open a corner of the sealed nutritional paste package so that the paste inside could naturally enter his mouth under the pressure of his palm.
“This nutritional cream needs to be savored slowly.
“When you first put it in your mouth, you may feel that it is a bit fishy. This is because the nutrient paste has been stratified during the storage period after it was manufactured, allowing some of the animal’s body fluids, especially the second-level insect-type animal’s body fluids, to seep into the upper layer.
"If you take a sip of it in your mouth, it will taste bitter. This is due to the protein in the worms, but our stomach accepts it, so there is no need to worry too much.
"Everyone, feel it carefully. There is actually a bit of greasy sweetness when you swallow it. This is because of the special substances in the bodies of some exotic animals. They usually rely on these substances to communicate with each other.
"If I can occasionally taste something similar to meat, it means that I am lucky this time and have eaten the body tissue of a first-level alien beast. After all, although they look like they are edible, they actually taste disgusting. They only have a texture similar to meat..."
At this moment, the people sitting around the conference table were already feeling a little numb. This feeling began when they walked into this room called a conference room but actually used as a restaurant.
Without any opening remarks or preparation, the Speaker in front of them went straight to the point and explained the topic of the day. He then reached an agreement with everyone in just a few minutes and then began the meal.
Such efficiency was something that they had never imagined before. In their impression, the congressmen had never made decisions so quickly. Even for trivial matters, they always passed the buck to each other...
But how should I put it? This feeling is surprisingly good...
