An almost invisible energy shield quickly enveloped the few people who showed unusual movements.
The Shield, who had already left the stage, walked out from the backstage with a smile, raised his hand and lifted several super-powered people from their seats and brought them to Arthur.
Those who wanted to commit suicide, blow themselves up, or attack suddenly lost their ability to move, allowing the invisible energy to straighten their bent bodies. Finally, under the heavy pressure, they knelt on the ground with their hands on their heads and surrendered.
"Mr. Speaker, how should we deal with them?"
Arthur looked at the unfamiliar faces, some with angry expressions, some with fear, and a few with some relief.
He smiled at the few people and turned to look at the Holy Shield:
"The research institute has already received the component library, right?"
"Yes, they are preparing for surgery, and we will be removing the components soon."
Arthur nodded:
“Then I’ll trouble them once more to implant super power inhibitors in these people, and then detain them first. I will still be able to use them later.
"As for the person in charge of this matter..."
Arthur fell into a brief thought:
"Since you are all going to have surgery, let Luke do it. After all, he has more experience in this area."
"OK."
"Holy Shield" bowed slightly, then turned around and took these super-powered people away.
At this time, Wan Juan, who had finished reading the verdict, had left her previous mechanical state. She spoke into the microphone in front of her that was connected to the spacecraft system:
"The trial is over."
"The temporary court is lifted."
A cold system voice came from the loudspeaker, and then the solemnity of the trial seemed to disappear in the auditorium, and this place turned from a court back into an auditorium.
But... in just less than eight hours, the number of people speaking had dropped from eleven to one.
Arthur used his telekinesis to send away the useless tables, chairs and decorations, and sat in the center of the huge stage again.
The stage was empty at this time. Even the long table and high-backed chairs that originally came with it were torn and moved, leaving only Arthur's portion.
“Bang.”
Arthur tapped the microphone in front of him twice to make sure it still had enough power after more than ten hours of continuous work.
All the people who were tortured by tension and sleepiness had their attention drawn to them once again, and they were already a little numb.
Over the past dozen hours, they had witnessed with their own eyes the atmosphere in the auditorium change from a happy atmosphere to a situation where everyone was in danger. From the congressmen who had been high and mighty for decades to someone sitting next to them, everyone might fall into irretrievable disaster at some point.
At this moment, whether it is a confrontation or a coup, it is obvious who the winner is.
From this moment on, all of them had only one boss, and that person was now about to give his victory speech.
What would he say? Although they were still a little scared, everyone below had a vague expectation in their hearts.
"It's eleven-fifteen at night, and I'm going to have everyone out of this place before the New Year."
Thus began Arthur's victory speech.
"Just as Wencheng reported before, the memories of everyone in Hope City have all been tampered with. Unfortunately, the instrument does not have the ability to work in reverse, which means that the tampered parts cannot be undone. So today, let me tell everyone the truth about this world."
Arthur's steady and magnetic voice echoed in the auditorium, in the factories, and on the streets in and around Hope City.
Everywhere an alarm could be sounded, his voice could be heard.
"About a thousand years ago, humanity faced a crisis of life and death. In order to continue the human life form, all humans at that time launched the 'Dandelion Project'.
“It is a herbaceous plant that lives on the human home planet. It has strong vitality and its seeds are covered with white fluff. It can fly to faraway places with the wind and re-root and grow.
"The Dandelion Project is similar. A total of one hundred colony ships were built with the efforts of all mankind, and each one has a corresponding target planet.
“This huge plan took more than a hundred years to prepare, and then it was a voyage that lasted more than seven hundred years in the dark star sea. The councilors who had ruled this city for decades were the crew members at that time.
“At this point, everyone should have understood. The land beneath our feet has never been our home planet, but rather the new home that a dandelion seed arrived at after a long journey.
"So, there was never any meteorite, only a huge spaceship that fell from the sky and crashed near the coastline of this planet. The first group of humans who were awakened completed the construction of this city with the help of various machines. This is the origin of Hope City.
“After that, the imagined development did not occur. In order to seize greater power, the councilors at the time erased the memories of all the awakeners and fabricated the history we know now. They themselves became high-ranking councilors, sitting in the spaceship called the Spire and controlling the city.
"However, things did not develop as those congressmen expected. The reason why the spacecraft was forced to land on this planet and could not take off again was because the spacecraft was attacked by an unknown object before landing. The object that attacked us was the mycelium creatures that are now eyeing humans outside Hope City.
“I have traveled and explored outside the city for a long time. Those creatures with strong assimilation ability have devoured the biological samples in the wreckage of the spacecraft, and selected and nurtured them. This is the essence of the waves of beasts we have encountered in the past few decades.
