Yamada Machi's face turned pale. He didn't expect today's live TV broadcast to be so appetizing.
He was still thinking about whether he should go to Central City to help Su Mingan, but he didn't expect that the resistance army was defeated after only three hours.
The mechanical army would read out the names of the executed, and then shoot them in the back of their necks. Some people did not die, twisting their bodies and trembling and wailing, while others died too miserably, with all kinds of red and white fluids scattered all over the ground.
"Is this the outcome of betraying a city-state?" Luo Cha's voice trembled.
"Hmm..." Yamada-cho paused for a moment and continued eating. The world game copy was better than this hell, and he was immune to it.
He took a bite of the water chestnut and almost vomited.
...How can there be such disgusting food in the world! Is this something humans eat?
He was thinking about how to change the dish when he suddenly heard a familiar voice.
"During the war, I suspended all information systems to prevent him from further intrusion."
"The Dawn system's response was not untimely, it was just to further identify the criminals, reduce the scope of the disaster, and protect the safety of the majority of residents."
Yamada Choi raised his head.
The war is over. Actor is giving a speech. He is smiling at the camera, with a pure white transparent figure beside him, and Dawn is beside him.
"For the dead and injured, the city-state will provide generous pensions to their families. As long as we follow the measurements and arrangements of the Dawn System, human civilization will surely be successfully passed on."
"As for the fugitive leader of the resistance army, the resident who goes by the alias Edward..."
When the young-looking city lord said this, he suddenly coughed.
The bright red blood flowed down his chin and dyed his white coat red.
Yamada-cho heard a burst of exclamations coming from the cafeteria. It seemed that everyone was very worried about Akto's physical condition.
"The city lord has lived for a long time, from the Century Disaster a hundred years ago, to the Dawn War (32nd year of the Disaster - 72nd year of the Disaster), to now. He doesn't have an heir. If..." Rocha sighed, "I think even if the resistance doesn't fight, the city lord will soon be unable to hold on."
"By the way, do you feel that the city lord's voice sounds familiar..." Luo Cha hesitated: "Why does it sound a bit like the voice of Mr. Lewis who resigned..."
Hearing that Rocha was getting closer to the truth, Yamada Machiya immediately interrupted: "Okay, listen to the live broadcast!"
Akto is still talking:
"As for... the leader of the resistance army who goes by the alias Edward, if any residents discover his movements, please report them to the Hawk Dog Guards in a timely manner."
"Because we are about to enter the Kaiusta election period, the whole city is under martial law and rallies and large-scale gatherings are prohibited."
"Tomorrow is the Kaiusta selection. I will appear at the opening ceremony. The rebels are just a small episode. We have already seen their end."
"My dear fellow citizens..."
The city lord, who looks young and harmless like a scholar, stares at the camera.
He smiled:
"We cannot allow emotions to undermine the law. Stability and prosperity are the themes of the times."
"Build a harmonious society and pursue a better life."
"I am the lord of the City of Measurement, Asa Akto."
"I look forward to...building this perfect city-state with you."
At this moment, from an angle he could not see, the transparent dawn slowly approached him.
It stretched out its virtual hands and gently, touchlessly, hugged him from behind.
From a perspective that Akto couldn't see, it lowered its head and kissed the swirl of his hair, like a mark of piety.
Millions of residents in the city watched this scene in silence.
The dawn kisses its city lord like the god of the city kisses its beloved shepherd.
Like... an honor bestowal.
Yamada-cho stared at the screen in a daze.
He just felt... as if there was some strange feeling rising in his heart. He didn't dare to make a sound, for fear of ruining the scene.
…
Then I saw a strong angel proclaiming in a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the scroll and loose its seven seals?”
There was no one in heaven, on earth, or under the earth who could open or read the scroll.
