Chapter 3859 Debate on the Will of the Self-Existent World!
The sudden death of [Black Emperor] caught everyone present off guard.
Ziling's mother was completely stunned... The gray ray was coming from outside the embassy, so her first thought was whether someone was going to attack the embassy.
"Sister...are you alright?" Pear quickly pulled Ziling's mother back a few steps.
"No... I was just startled..." Ziling's mother took a deep breath, and suddenly, as if struck by a flash of inspiration, an idea popped into her head: "What's going on? Is someone going to attack the embassy? Could it be the remnants of those enemies?"
It's no secret that a small portion of the Divine Realm Legion's warriors escaped using makeshift tunnels; the news had already spread.
At this moment, the general had fully recovered from the sudden killing of the Black Emperor, and he instinctively glared angrily at Huo Zhen... He did not know the real reason for the Black Emperor's death.
Who would have thought that just because [Black Emperor] wanted to stop filming and gave a "slight" warning, it would directly lead to his death and being taken offline?
The general would only think that this is because the Chinese are no longer pretending, and that this country, which has falsely claimed to be an ancient civilization, is actually an imperialist country!
"...Quickly, enemy attack!"
Who is Lao Huo?
Although he can't compare to those guys who have lived for countless months and still haven't figured out how to live, he has already figured out how to live in the short span of 30,000 to 40,000 days!
Ziling's mother's question, "Could it be an attack by remnants of the invaders?" instantly opened up all his thoughts.
"General Vincent, be careful! They might be remnants of the invaders!"
"What?" General Vincent was taken aback.
Huo Zhen didn't care about anything else. He suddenly looked up at Su Zijun and said in a deep voice, "Empress, I'd like to trouble you to scout out the surroundings!"
“…Hmm.” The wealthy woman, Su, also got into character in a second.
Regardless of who killed the Black Emperor, the remnants of the Divine Realm Legion are definitely going to take the blame!
In an instant, more than a dozen agents from the Bureau were dispatched, followed by a continuous stream of "superhumans" being mobilized. General Vincent's face had become frighteningly dark.
"General, it's dangerous! We'll escort you to the car first!" the special operations team said hurriedly.
The general's vehicle was specially made, capable of withstanding even anti-tank bullets, making it like a small mobile fortress.
General Vincent abruptly shook off the guard's hand, his voice low and slightly angry, "Didn't you realize they were putting on an act? Where did these remnants of invaders come from? What a coincidence! Why now of all times, to kill the Black Emperor?!"
"This……"
Several people looked at each other.
General Vincent suppressed his rage. Black King was currently one of the most powerful mutants the military had created. Although his stats were not as good as the evolved Homeland Soldier, losing even one of them would be a bloodbath for the military!
[Black Emperor] hasn't even shown his true value yet!
But at this moment, the Shenzhou Embassy was like a demon's cave. Once he took even half a step out, it would probably really be true what the Empress of Shenzhou said: "It's time to send a second group of people."
"General Vincent, it's dangerous outside. Please come inside and take shelter!" Old Huo suddenly said.
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Huo." The general quickly adopted a grateful posture.
Chaos erupted at the scene... The agents from the Administration Bureau, the Xuanyuan Clan members, and even the contestants from Shenzhou genuinely believed that it was an attack by remnants of invaders.
As for Ziling's mother, she had already been escorted back to the embassy by the sharp-eyed Dazhuang and Xiaomei...
……
"I didn't expect these remnants of the invaders to be so arrogant, daring to attack our territory. They're really asking for it!" Da Zhuang sneered. "Watch me beat them to a pulp!"
"How many big shots live here at the embassy? Can you even count them all?" Qu Rou rolled her eyes in annoyance. "How could it be your turn?"
“That’s true…” Da Zhuang couldn’t help but smile awkwardly.
Having calmed down, Ziling's mother asked with concern, "I haven't heard of any remnants of the intruders being caught outside these past few days... How come they suddenly appeared today? Could there be some kind of conspiracy?"
Da Zhuang scratched his head, thought for a moment, and said, "Whatever, we'll deal with whatever comes our way. Besides, it's the Americans' mutants who get killed, so we won't suffer any losses... Let's see what the leaders say."
Qu Rou then took Zi Ling's mother's hand and said, "That's right, Sister Ren. For safety's sake, you said you shouldn't leave the embassy during this time, because it's not safe outside."
"Don't dare..."
Ziling's mom immediately admitted defeat... and then decided to go back to her room right away to write a short essay!
—It starts something like this: Family, does anyone understand? It's just too dangerous here in the United States...blah blah blah.
……
……
A moment later, Su Zijun, who had been strolling around outside, returned leisurely.
"Empress, have you discovered anything?" Huo Zhen asked seriously.
Su Zijun said calmly, "The person got away; their ability to hide is quite good. However, this has already alerted us, so they probably won't take any further action for a while... Hmm, but the enemy's abilities are unpredictable, so we still need to be careful in the future."
"Don't worry!" Old Huo remained serious. "I will arrange for people to strengthen the embassy's defenses... This time, I'll have to trouble the Empress."
The wealthy woman, Su Qing, nodded and turned to leave.
As for the matter Vincent came to negotiate this time, she didn't care.
These words were spoken in front of General Vincent, and with an air of great seriousness... Vincent glanced at the Divine Continent's [Superhumans] outside the window, who were defending themselves with layers of defense, and could only sigh inwardly.
[Black Emperor] died for nothing this time. He didn't dare to argue his case anymore... He had no evidence, so he could only swallow his anger.
Huo Zhen suppressed a laugh and said with a solemn expression, "General Vincent, please accept my condolences. We are all unwilling to see this happen."
"...Black Emperor was an excellent soldier." General Vincent said sadly. "He had lofty ideals and ambitions, and was a very good person, but unfortunately, they will never be realized... We will remember this grudge! Our military will also do everything in its power to eliminate the remnants of the invaders!!"
"Hmph!" Old Huo said in a deep voice, "The enemy dared to kill someone right in front of us, they completely disregard our Chinese Embassy! General, rest assured, we will do our best to assist you and avenge this outstanding soldier."
“Mr. Huo is too kind.” General Vincent sighed. “I came here mainly for Wayne… Let’s take a look at this sinner first.”
"Please follow me." Huo Zhen nodded.
……
The embassy is not a prison, so there are no cells there. Therefore, the place where Wayne was held was actually a single room with a fairly decent environment.
Of course, everything in the room was cleared out to prevent the prisoner from taking his own life inside.
When General Vincent saw Wayne, Director Wayne was lying motionless on the bed like a wax figure.
"Mr. Huo, what is this?" General Vincent frowned subconsciously.
Huo Zhen chuckled and explained, "It's just a simple restriction on his mobility. After all, this former director of S.H.I.E.L.D. is of great importance..."
As he spoke, Huo Zhen walked over to Director Wayne and lightly tapped his body with his finger.
“He can speak now, but he still can’t move.” Huo Zhen chuckled. “The general can speak to him now.”
General Vincent remained silent for a while before tentatively requesting, "Mr. Huo, could I speak with Wayne alone for a few minutes?"
“General, as you know, everyone knows he’s currently being held here.” Huo Zhen said expressionlessly, “This request of yours is very difficult for me to fulfill.”
Vincent thought for a moment and said, "Then please treat me the same way you treated Wayne, but preserve my ability to speak... Is that alright?"
Huo Zhen thought for a moment and then agreed to the plan.
……
Soon, only General Vincent, who was sitting motionless, and Director Wayne, who was lying motionless on the bed, remained in the room.
As for whether the Chinese would eavesdrop, Vincent no longer cared... The embassy's willingness to let him contact Wayne was itself a tacit approval; both sides actually knew what the bottom line was.
Looking at Wayne, who resembled a skeleton, General Vincent suddenly sighed, "I remember the last time I saw you was when the Führer was attacked and S.H.I.E.L.D. was being held accountable."
Wayne stared blankly at the ceiling, like a mummy.
“Wayne, you’ve also experienced war, and you’re an excellent agent,” General Vincent said in a deep voice. “Your willpower is strong enough; I don’t believe you can’t understand what’s about to happen.”
Seeing that Wayne still did not react, General Vincent frowned.
He said seriously, "You may not know this, but when the disaster happened in Washington, the whole country was broadcasting the incident live... Although it is still impossible to investigate who set up the live broadcast, the whole country already knows that you pressed the detonation button on B61-13."
"...The nuclear bomb was smuggled in by Ross." Director Wayne's hoarse voice slowly rang out. "This is a conspiracy by your military...Are you planning to make me take the blame for this crime as well?"
"Wayne, you are one of the people who orchestrated this catastrophe," General Vincent said calmly. "It's common knowledge. Do you think the public will believe you if you insist that this nuclear bomb has nothing to do with you? You did press the button yourself... Everyone knows you are a monster who has lost all morality and humanity. Do you know how many people have died in this disaster?"
“I will plead guilty,” Wayne said calmly, “but I will only admit to what I did.”
“We’ve found your son,” General Vincent said abruptly.
Wayne's lifeless eyes suddenly showed a hint of struggle—he had already inquired about his child with the China Administration Bureau after he was found and taken to the embassy.
However, the authorities said they did not find his child in Washington, D.C. – there were only two possibilities: either the child had died in the disaster, or the child was not in Washington, D.C. at all.
But Wayne gave the Bureau a contact number, yet they couldn't get through... So, to this day, Wayne still has no definite news about the child.
He was completely manipulated by Situ Leiming.
This made Wayne feel worse than dead these past few days.
"...How did you find him?" Wayne remained silent for a long time before finally asking, following his heart's desire.
“I’m sorry, but he was already dead when we found him,” General Vincent sighed.
In a sudden surge of emotion, Director Wayne's eyes became bloodshot. He tried to struggle, but his body remained motionless... This physical restraint felt as if his free spirit had been crushed by a millstone, causing excruciating pain!
“How…he died?” Wayne murmured.
“Two days ago,” General Vincent said slowly, “someone posted about your relationship with this child online and published his address… That afternoon, someone broke into his home, shot him dead, and left a message saying, ‘This is a just verdict, to atone for the dead.’”
"What does this have to do with him?!" Wayne roared hoarsely. "He's innocent! He doesn't know anything!! He's innocent!!"
He had already figured out who posted the information online... it was something Situ Leiming had arranged long ago!
When Wayne roared until he lost his voice, panting like a dying wolf king, General Vincent said calmly, "But in fact, no one will think this child is innocent. He enjoys all the conveniences you give him and lives a life of luxury, which is already a sin... even if this child never chose any of it."
The light in Director Wayne's eyes had died out, as if he were on the verge of extinction, both physically and spiritually.
"But we eventually found the boy's girlfriend," General Vincent suddenly said. "When we found her, we discovered she was pregnant... the poor boy's girlfriend."
Director Wayne's gaze suddenly changed. He couldn't move his head and could only stare at General Vincent with his eyes slanted to the side.
The general said softly, “The people need an explanation, an explanation that satisfies everyone. So please, you must live to see the trial. Old friend, after this child is born, I will adopt him… This is the only thing I can do for you.”
……
……
The general's motorcade slowly drove out of the Chinese embassy... It was impossible to let General Vincent take people away like that. The fact that the military personnel were allowed to come in and say a few words was already a sign of the huge concessions made by the US government on the international stage.
"How filthy, these military bandits..."
The ghost baby, chewing on a blade of grass, squatted on the eaves, watching the departing convoy, and muttered a few words of disdain.
"Trouble!" [Ghost Infant] spat out the foxtail grass in its mouth and suddenly asked curiously, "By the way, where is Elder Gongsun? I haven't seen him for the past two days?"
"Look for Gongsun Shiyu, what else can we do?" Gui Qianyi sighed and sipped his tea.
"He hasn't given up yet..." [Ghost Baby] quipped, "Gongsun Shiyu isn't an idiot, why would he stay here and wait to be captured?"
"There's nothing we can do about it." Gui Qianyi shook his head and said, "If the Gongsun clan doesn't capture Gongsun Shiyu back, they'll probably never be able to hold their heads high in the Xuanyuan Palace again... The once number one clan in the Xuanyuan Palace is now almost universally hated. How can they not be anxious?"
"Deserved it."
