Chapter 178 Jumping out of that line
"Please pay attention to the order of these screenshots." The system numbered several video screenshots, and Shi Cunjin could barely recognize that it was a dark alley.
In the trail picture, two dark human figures are lurking forward, wearing full tactical gear, explosion-proof helmets and breathing filters, without revealing any racial or personal characteristics.
One video screenshot showed two dark figures entering the alley, and another showed only a shadow emerging. "This is Jack." The system drew a red circle around the shadow.
"The alien army attacked the customs area, and the surveillance satellites of the carnival were damaged to varying degrees. The entertainment company abandoned most of the surveillance satellites to reduce losses. I took the opportunity to drill into the databases of several abandoned satellites, successfully restored some of the damaged data, and obtained the video footage of your unexpected retreat."
The system gnashed its teeth and said, "There is no way your plan could go wrong. Even if the Joker holds the key to the city, your security team can arrive at the right time and the Joker can't hurt you like this!"
Somewhere in the bathing area there was a humidifier that continuously produced thick mist. The warm vapor gently enveloped Shi Cunjin, and he did not feel cold even though his hair was wet.
But Shi Cunjin still picked up a glass of hot drink on the table and took two sips to dispel the cold, heaviness and shock brought by the topic of death.
"This is an accident that shouldn't have happened." Shi Cunjin put his lips on the rim of the cup and closed his eyes to concentrate on checking the character card.
Because of the system's boarding and interference nerves, his brain area was magically divided into the style of a library palace. Each book contained Shi Cunjin's past memories. The system usually secretly surfed in Teacher Shi's life. Shi Cunjin placed the character cards and the original books in one of the bookcase grids. The character cards were neatly stacked, with Anushka on the top and the last one lit up, the adjutant Jack, pressed at the bottom.
"Of course this is not an accident." The system said as Teacher Shi flipped through the cards and observed, "I didn't find the satellite images that monitor the 98 City Information Center, so I don't know what Adjutant Jack did when he led the raid. But! In the video playback I could find, there were only two bugs left in his team. I checked the files of all the security rovers at the time, remodeled the body shapes of all the security team military females, and confirmed that one of the two black shadows was Adjutant Jack, and the other was a high-level armed species who was transferred to a rovers after taking the path of an armed military female."
"Adjutant Jack and this high-ranking warrior passed through a dark alley. Two entered and one came out. If they were attacked by night creatures, there is a 99.9% chance that the high-ranking warrior would survive, not Adjutant Jack!"
"He was admitted to the Wanderer from a clerical position, but he was not among the top three interviewees at the time. The first three interviewees were the second sons of a century-old aristocratic family. He was just an illegitimate child without a surname. The first three were not present due to various accidents, and the final spot was taken by him."
"According to my modeling data comparison, Mr. Shi, Adjutant Jack shot his companion in a dark alley." The system said in confusion and anger: "I don't understand why he did this. You are so tolerant of him, regardless of his poorly concealed arrogance and contempt and his ridiculous drinking. If A567 knew about these situations, he would have been hung on the wall as a decoration!"
"If he had not shot his companions, he would not have been isolated and helpless when he escaped from the Fourth Army's pursuit, and finally been blown up in the plasma bomb." said the system.
Shi Cunjin looked at the character card of Adjutant Jack for a while, then a hint of understanding appeared on his face, and he said slowly: "He wants to take all the credit for rescuing me."
“What he wants hasn’t changed.”
Shi Cunjin said, "It has always been about power and authority. He does not have a good background or strong physical fitness. Only when something special happens can I or Anushka rely on him and then ascend to heaven to gain more authoritative power."
The Jack card was lit from the top to the shoulders, and the introduction at the bottom of the card was still black. But Shi Cunjin had already realized the fashionable personality of this card: miserable illegitimate child, prince face, good at observing colors, gouging out his eyes to save his life, shooting his companions for military merit, and using any means to achieve his goals. It is a classic dark and black male supporting card waiting to be redeemed.
He can also be given the elite tag because of his outstanding work ability, which is a mature and dark elite flavor different from the other two young supporting characters.
The system complained loudly: "If it weren't for him, you wouldn't have flipped over. I should have more than 20 energy points in my hand now! But now they are all gone! There is only 1 point left to keep me running!"
"What happened to the security rovers that accompanied the team? Was anyone there to bury them?"
"After the 98 city network was restarted, I went to search for the marked bodies and notified A567! A567 buried them under the Wanderer flag, raised their military rank by two levels, and brought their relatives and families to the North Pole during the migration." The system snorted twice, "I also sent a copy of these video screenshots to A567. I will not let bad guys hang on the wall with honors!"
Shi Cunjin had no appetite anymore. At this point, he sighed and said, "Make a list of the family names of those soldiers and put them in the column of development and support in my to-do list."
System: “OK.”
Shi Cunjin took a look at the gift photo in the opened box and asked, "How did you find this?"
The system said honestly: "I turned all the rovers that followed and protected us upside down, and found the adjutant Jack. I immediately controlled the robot to search his room. I thought the gift box contained something like a tracker or a bug."
Shi Cunjin looked at the gold coins in the photo and suddenly thought of many literary legends about gold coins. In myths and legends, gold coins symbolize the key to successfully bribing God.
The system saw the teacher was lost in thought and immediately asked, "If you want to take the box, I'll find time to bring it over?"
Shi Cunjin shook his head, closed his eyes and put the torn card back into his memory grid. He was actually not familiar with Jack, and his only vivid memory of Jack was that pair of submissive eyes that could hardly conceal his contempt.
But Jacka's death prompted Shi Cunjin to come up with a crucial idea.
"How many energy points do we have now? In the carnival, except for Adjutant Jack, have Gobelier's cards changed?" Shi Cunjin asked. He held up his heavy long hair in his left hand, stood up and walked to the drying room on the side of the bathhouse.
"We now have a total of 79.5 energy points! The carnival adds a total of 15%!!" The system said happily: "The joker card has changed. It provides 5% energy points and unlocks a chapter of the original book!"
The drying air in the drying room was steaming out, a silent fragrance. Shi Cunjin stood by the drying wall, and before he could react, he held the large mass of hair facing the wall with both hands and dried it. The silver hair turned into a piece of soft and fluffy silk, flowing out from the gaps between Shi Cunjin's fingers. The owner's random kneading and twisting did not affect the hair quality at all, and the strands of hair hung down mistily like a dense curtain.
"79.5..." Shi Cunjin blew his hair in segments while guessing in his heart: the current beast disaster is basically definitely related to Gobelil. His serious injury condition triggered the alien invasion ahead of time, but the Zerg world did not show any signs of collapse as if one of the four major star regions suddenly disappeared.
The original novel was unlocked to 79.5, and an important supporting character died, but the only abnormality in the Zerg world was that the invasion three years later was brought forward.
For the Zerg Universe, this anomaly is nothing more than a repeat of past history, not a truly hopeless world-destroying disaster.
The Zerg and the aliens have been fighting for hundreds and thousands of years. The whole nation is martial, and the enthusiastic and fearless fighting blood flows throughout the history of the Zerg. The aliens with strange energy are their way to conquer the stars.
Shi Cunjin closed his eyes and stared at Gobelier's character card in the quiet memory library. The card was already lit up to his chin, and the character showed pale thin lips with a faint smile.
If I push the original work to 90% and then reveal a main and supporting role card, how will the world react? Shi Cunjin guessed calmly and picked up a soft towel to wipe the corners of his mouth.
He is not a clay man. The fiery fire in his youth was suppressed deep in his heart but not extinguished.
If there is no consideration and chain reaction, Shi Cunjin's way of eliminating danger is to remove the root of the problem. The cracked Jack Card now reminds Shi Cunjin that he can try to make a trouble-free treatment plan.
"Teacher Shi, listen to me..." The system quickly explained the Carnival Chase Joker episode to Teacher Shi. It finally asked: "Teacher Shi, why did Joker go crazy and command the four armies to capture you? Doesn't he care about the identity of the vest Sariel? The criminal in the 1980 case will be executed by the Capital Alliance if his identity is exposed! Doesn't this conflict with his beloved son setting! How come even his beloved son setting is fake!?"
Shi Cunjin pondered for a few seconds, his thoughts turning to the 1980 case and the term Capital Alliance: "The calculation was wrong."
System: “Ah?”
"Why is the 1980 case considered a banned case by the four major districts?" Shi Cunjin asked the system.
System: "Well, because this case violated many of your rights and interests and used you as an experimental consumable, Cat's Eye and the court were furious and demanded that the Capital Alliance impose the death penalty. In order to make a statement, the Capital Alliance directly convicted the hospital that was confused at the time without distinction, and would rather kill the wrong person than let him go to serve as a warning to others."
Shi Cunjin nodded: "They did it for the cat's eyes to see. As long as the cat's eyes are satisfied, the 1980 case can be closed. The attitude of the cat's eyes parliament is the key to who is legal and who is guilty in the 1980 case. Do you understand? Gobelier's exposure of Sariel seemed impulsive and crazy. He acted without considering the consequences and made a bad move that hurt both sides."
"Actually, that's not the case. Gobelier believes that Sariel is related to him by blood. From his point of view, as long as he brings Sariel back and tests the relationship, he will win."
"He could reverse the order of his interactions with Fate during the trial, claiming that it was Fate who approached him first. It wasn't VV who contacted Fate privately, it wasn't him who spied on VV, took the contact information from VV, threatened Fate at the beginning, and then kept on trying to trap Fate and bring him to his death."
Shi Cunjin said coldly: "As long as Gobelier successfully arrives at Cat's Eye with the black box, Sariel and Valentine, who is suspected to be a descendant of the Fate family, are in his hands. He can easily fabricate all kinds of false news and erase all records of intimidation that are detrimental to his image. If anchor Fate dares to object, then think about Sariel and Valentine."
"At that time, Gobelier will attribute the evil temptation caused by his own selfish desires to Fate. He will take the key from the South District family in violation of the contract to block the parade city during the parade, mobilize the four armies to clash with Fate and even the First Army, kill all the mobile squads of the First Army, kill all Fate's guards, destroy the main roads of the carnival city, embarrass Lord Green, and open fire on the black box without hesitation. All of this is to successfully bring back Sariel."
"Of course, anchor Fate is trying to make peace with Cat's Eye in order to build a stable bridge between Cat's Eye and the Legion. Cat's Eye needs people like Fate. The Cat's Eye Parliament may not believe all of Gobelier's explanations and excuses, so the message they passed on to Anushka was: The First Army can send troops to escort Fate to Cat's Eye for negotiations." Shi Cunjin integrated the information at hand and, over a period of 30 days, gradually picked out Gobelier's hidden backup plan.
Shi Cunjin: "Think about VV, he is also a criminal in the 1980 case, and he had A-level potential before he became an adult. He lives like a prince in Cat's Eye. Cat's Eye will never reject Sariel's existence."
"Gobelier has built up an image of a friendly elder in Maoyan for 20 years, has been in office for more than 15 years, has taught many ministers, and is friends with the incumbent chief of etiquette. His influence on Maoyan's parliament is beyond your calculation. Even if his rhetoric has loopholes, judging from the results, Fate's diplomatic relations with Maoyan have played a stable role. Gobelier brought back a minister, and no insects were hurt. Maoyan got all the benefits, and everything is happy."
"This is the human favor that you didn't take into account and the male insect's care for the male insect's bloodline. Gobelier's character card has a high sensitivity setting, and this setting helps him a lot." Shi Cunjin said.
"Fate was responsible for the murder committed by Gobelier, and then the Cat's Eye Council magnanimously forgave Fate. What other options did Fate have except to swallow his anger? This is the best outcome. Everything was just a misunderstanding and a love for his son. What a beautiful fig leaf."
Shi Cunjin quickly blew his hair and left the drying room, heading for the cloakroom on the other side. He said casually, "Based on Gobelier's betrayal and the subsequent outburst, I can infer that the medical kit I took away might be a fake blood chamber."
"Wow... yes! I didn't want to go into too much detail about the part where A567 beat the Joker, it was very bloody. But yes! That's right! When A567 beat the Joker into a pancake, the three blood chambers of the Joker were still intact, with no signs of surgery at all!" The system said frustratedly, "Well, I have been using the Capital Alliance Law to deduce the logic of the Joker, no wonder I can't figure it out."
"You have just learned to use the thinking algorithm. I am impressed by your ability to delay for such a long time." Shi Cunjin boasted, then paused and sneered: "Fake blood chamber."
The system was happy for a moment, and then asked, "Teacher Shi, Joker has released a chapter of the original novel, are you reading it now?"
"No rush, let's postpone it and tell me one thing at a time. Tell me about the current situation of the Capital Alliance. You said that 15 points of energy were opened this time, an 8 and a 5, and the third card is... who." Shi Cunjin opened the closet in the cloakroom and remained silent.
The closets are filled with open-front bathrobes and white nightgowns.
The robe even has layered hems.
"It's Gwen of Hearts' card!" The system quickly and briefly reviewed the Carnival Fisher Green episode, emphasizing its own bravery and intelligence, and rapped.
Shi Cunjin was silent in front of a cabinet full of new clothes. After 2 seconds, he took out a nightgown with very long hems.
Unless Shi Cunjin suddenly had the urge to wrap his body with his hair and try out a wild style, it would be difficult for him to close the cabinet door immediately.
The speed of compromise is simply the fastest in human history.
In Anushka's to-do list, Shi Cunjin wrote down a sentence about daily clothing specifications.
The system finished its explanation and concluded, "It's weird, isn't it? Fisher Greene helped you delay time, but it was Gwen of Hearts who triggered the card! It provides 2% of the energy points and opens 2 chapters of the original book!"
"Fisher Green, a B-level gentleman, has a very good relationship with Gwen. He should be one of the first gentlemen in Cat's Eye to know the story of his roommate." Shi Cunjin recalled for a moment and quickly understood why the key to Gwen's turning point was due to Fisher.
"Gwen's identity is inconvenient. VV wants to know Gwen, the only possible reason is because of Fisher." Shi Cunjin asked the system, "Did you record what Fisher did when the card progressed?"
The system said: "He ordered the Guardian to return the black box containing you to me."
Shi Cunjin frowned, a little unsure for a moment. He recalled the chapter of the original book about the Brothers Grimm that he had read before, in which Gobelier held Fisher hostage in his hand and used Grid Grimm to relieve VV's emotional pressure.
Was Fisher Green's peculiar behavior a rebellion against Gobelier?
"How is Gwen doing now? The anchor Fate was splashed with so much dirty water. Is he now sitting as a member of the Capital Alliance Council, or is he sitting on the Prisoner Star Iron Bench?" Shi Cunjin checked the bad news in order. At this moment, he thought that as long as Gwen was not dead, everything would be solved.
The system suddenly changed to a mysterious tone: "Hey, Teacher Shi! These are the good news! There are more good news than bad news! There is also a super surprise that you can never imagine!!"
Shi Cunjin's neck suddenly felt hairy. He took a deep breath and said, "Go ahead. I'm listening."
"First, here is the express report from Gwen Red Heart and Little Jane of the Capital Alliance!" The system said cheerfully, "Teacher Shi! Didn't I tell you before! Except for the Arctic Region, there is a lot of public opinion in the other three regions accusing A567 of wanting to restart the tyrant era?"
Shi Cunjin hummed.
"Let's assume that this movement of protest accounts for 50% of the citizens. Modern Zerg generally dislike the bloody history of hundreds of years ago."
"But! The other 35% of Zerg citizens have a different attitude towards A567. They can be considered to support A567 just barely! They are present in all four regions, from various high-level medium-livable star management agencies in the four regions, to non-alliance families settled in the four regions, and even to the customs points of the independent black hole routes in the four regions. It is precisely because of this force and public opinion that many external routes of the North Pole can operate normally and are not restricted by the other three regions. The North Pole is not a star region that is particularly rich in special minerals. The star regions that are really rich in special minerals are the Eastern Sky Bow and the Southern Cross."
The system said, "Teacher Shi, these 35% of the Zerg are readers of your stories. They don't believe the rumors from the carnival. I won't talk about the other few neutral people for now."
Shi Cunjin was stunned for a moment. This was a direction he had never expected.
The system said: "Many of them are from the Capital Alliance's century-old high-ranking families! The tragedy of the Sky Crystal Stone caused the death of a large number of the Capital Alliance's leading insect tribes and family heads. The current Capital Alliance Council is different from the past. Most of them are young people in their prime."
"Without a leader to lead the way, and with the monsters invading in the storm, the Capital Alliance Council now wants to follow behind Cat's Eyes as a watchdog, and righteously expresses its intention to repair the relationship between the Capital Alliance and Cat's Eyes! At the same time, it remains neutral."
"There's another side!" The system suddenly raised its voice, shocking Shi Cunjin so much that he shuddered. It shouted, "There's another side, the Fit Faction!"
"The leader of the faction is Grid Wynn! He has recruited a large number of middle and high-level families who have lost their heads into the team. Within a month, the Fate faction, led by Grid Wynn, has occupied 17 of the 100 seats in the Capital Alliance Council!"
"17..." Shi Cunjin frowned. "It's almost one-fifth, how is this possible? The anchor Fate was splashed with so much dirty water, and although nothing has been proven, this came from the mouth of the cat-eyed etiquette chief, so Gwen and the others should be the ones who were oppressed, right?"
The system said: "Yes, that was supposed to be the case. But didn't you keep sending letters of goodwill to Little Jane during the carnival? He couldn't contact you, and when the scandal of the carnival spread to the four districts, he didn't hesitate for too long. He went to seek an alliance with Grid Wynne!"
"At that time, because Red Heart had a close relationship with anchor Fate, the Morgan family protected her, and the parliament only restricted all of Red Heart's speaking activities."
"But at this moment, Little Janey entered the room and publicly supported Heart. With Channel and Morgan under the control of the Janey family, even if Little Janey's words were not as important as Big Janey's, the other seats in the parliament that had united were very wary. As soon as they let Heart out to speak, Heart quickly rose again!"
"He is very smart. He specializes in developing seats and middle-class family members who are friendly to you in the Capital Alliance. Perhaps because Red Heart has the support of Male Insect Brother in Cat's Eye, he accurately grasped Cat's Eye's conservative attitude towards Fate and vigorously developed it. With the support and protection of Morgan and Jane, the Fate faction soon occupied a considerable position in the Capital Alliance Parliament." The system said: "Greed Wynne now has the right to draft new laws for the Capital Alliance."
As the system spoke, it interfered with Shi Cunjin's retinal nerves, creating images of several monitor screens in Shi Cunjin's brain.
In several surveillance footage, Grid Wynne, as a representative of the faction's parliament, shook hands with other parliamentarians, with fake social smiles on their faces. Some footage showed a cocktail party, some footage showed a podium, and some footage showed a group fight.
In the picture, Grid has matured a lot. He is wearing a different suit in every shot. The only thing that remains unchanged is his high-spirited and confident temperament.
However, Shi Cunjin noticed a corner of the picture where there was a tall and thin black shadow standing alone in the corner with a glass of champagne, with no social insects around him.
He looked closely and saw that the dark shadow was Frankie Miller Jane.
"I'll zoom in for you to see." The system noticed Shi Cunjin's reaction and immediately enlarged the neural imaging, saying, "Little Jian Ning has had a rough time these days. A lot of the Jian Ning family's channel industry has been divided up. He is not yet an adult and cannot adjust the key near the black hole channel. He can only watch as the cooperating families take it away. Many of the capital's allies said behind his back that he could not protect the industry, and the Jian Ning family name would disappear in his hands."
Shi Cunjin did not make any comment on this.
He stared closely at the image of Fran Jenning.
Fran Janning has lost a lot of weight, and even though her figure is broad and her shoulders are in good shape, the three-piece suit she is wearing is a bit loose.
He was so thin that his cheekbones protruded slightly, but his pair of black pupils were bright and clear without a trace of sadness. The lines on his face were as sharp as knives, and the reserved and elegant temperament he had as a minor had completely turned into a cold and piercing sense of distance.
But Fran Janning had a hypocritical social smile on his lips, making it hard to tell whether he was welcoming you, mocking you, or looking down on you.
It looked as if the head of the Janening family had come back to life in Fran Janening.
Shi Cunjin's heart was moved by the information the system said, and an idea suddenly came to his mind in surprise and determination: no matter whether Gobelier was hidden by Cat's Eyes and difficult to contact, or Gobelier was still in a coma and could not give him guidance, Fran Janning did not stand on the side of Cat's Eyes faction this time as in the original book.
Fran Janning chooses to ally with Greg Green.
Shi Cunjin thought that once he got the smart ring and contacted Fran Jane, he could immediately gain new plot energy points.
Fran Janine chases a shadow and deviates from the original storyline.
