Chaoyan lowered his head, his eyes dim.
"No matter how many times... I can't help it." She whispered: "There are obviously people like this coming, but I can't let them go. I try to believe in their goodness, but I always see their ugly side. "
She added: "By the way, you don't have to hide things from me. I know a lot about you. I know that you are the deputy minister of the City Protection Department. I also know that you are the leader of the Human Self-Salvation Alliance. I also know that you are the number one Meng Xunjia, so you don’t need to be on guard against me. I won’t leak your information, Jamel Xiao and I are not the same group.”
Su Mingan looked at her, she seemed to know everything.
"Deputy Minister, you haven't been to the Ministry of Protection for a long time. There are many remaining matters here that need you to finalize personally." The cloaked man said.
"Okay, let's go." Su Mingan said.
They left the crowded streets and walked more and more sparsely until they reached a quiet construction area, where a scream rang out.
"ah--!"
Su Mingan looked towards the source of the sound. A disheveled woman stumbled out of the hospital. She was wearing a blue and white hospital gown, her face was covered with dark marks, and her body was covered with dark tentacles.
"The patient has escaped! Her terminal black fog disease has attacked! She is going to mutate!" The nurse behind screamed, unable to stop the woman.
When the woman saw Su Ming'an, a desire for flesh and blood emerged in her eyes. She stepped forward and wanted to bite Su Ming'an's neck.
Su Mingan's eyes moved slightly and his fingers curled——
"boom!"
There was a gunshot.
Blood suddenly burst from the woman's chest, and she fell forward with a gurgling sound from her throat. Su Ming'an didn't hold her, her black hair brushed against Su Ming'an's shoulder, and her heavy body fell to the ground.
When the woman fell down, Su Mingan met her eyes.
——Reddish eyes, eyes blackened by black fog, eyes of despair and sadness.
"I...don't want...to die."
Her throat squeezed out broken words, and then she could no longer make a sound. Her heart had been pierced by a bullet, and the life was rapidly slipping away from her body. When Su Mingan lowered his head, the woman had turned into a corpse.
There was a gust of wind, and Su Mingan raised his head.
The shooter blew out the ash from the gun, turned the handle of the gun, and pushed the caregiver away.
She had large diamond-shaped silver wire earrings hanging from her ears. She had a bright face and strode towards Su Mingan with a smile. The earrings made a crisp clashing sound, just like her smart eyes. The name tag of [Urban Guardian Assistant Deputy Minister Qiu Shui] hangs on his chest.
"We have long said that patients with advanced black fog disease are of no value for treatment and may mutate at any time, causing danger."
She raised the handle of the gun as if she wanted to touch Su Mingan's chin: "You, you, Deputy Minister, you always have a kind heart and think that they may be saved, so you insist on letting them stay in the hospital for treatment. You see, when they really change, they are so desperate."
Su Mingan tilted her head to avoid the handle of her gun.
Qiu Shui rolled his eyes in surprise, then smiled and said, "Well, it seems you are in a bad mood today."
The gun was turned in her left hand and quickly retracted. At the same moment, she raised her right hand and held a beautiful little wild flower.
"Then, I will give you a flower today, and wish you a happy mood." She smiled with her eyebrows crooked and extremely bright.
Su Mingan's eyes moved slightly.
He saw the caregivers coming forward to deal with the woman's body on the ground. More than three-quarters of the woman's skin had turned black, and thin tentacles emerged from between her flesh, looking very terrifying.
He knew that black fog was a basic disease caused by the spread of black fog, but he did not expect that patients with advanced black fog would be so frightened.
"This is Qiu Shui, your assistant." The cloaked man introduced Su Ming'an.
"The deputy minister lost his memory again?" Qiu Shui put away the flowers and asked in surprise.
"Yes, go and give the remaining documents to the deputy minister." The cloaked man ordered.
Qiu Shui nodded and took Su Mingan all the way deeper.
At this moment, Su Mingan faintly heard a voice:
[I made such a bright appearance, but he was unmoved? How strange. 】
[He is worthy of being a five-star character in strategy difficulty. Currently, his favorability towards me is only 10 points. It is really difficult to reach 100 points...]
Su Mingan felt reassured.
...Is it the favorability system again?
When she was in "Lou Yue Kingdom", Bai Lian had a favorability system, and she wanted to conquer Su Ming'an. Later, as the plot developed, this favorability system gradually disappeared. Now, it actually appeared on this woman named Qiu Shui.
Qiu Shui wants to increase Su Ming'an's favorability to 100 points. However, what she didn't know was that Su Mingan could hear her heart.
This favorability system cannot monitor Su Mingan's heart. It can only judge Su Mingan's favorability towards Qiu Shui by observing Su Mingan's superficial attitude. Su Mingan's expression just softened a little, and he heard Qiu Shui's inner voice.
[The favorability level has increased to 15 points, which is great. 】
Su Ming'an kept quiet. Only by continuing to listen can he know what this favorability system is.
After passing through many password doors, Qiu Shui took him to a giant computer.
The configuration of the room is a bit like the original Dawn system, with monitoring screens and computers everywhere. Qiu Shui clicked on the screen and said: "I would also like to thank you for the many decisions you made before you lost your memory. Let us raise objections to the coalition government before the bill of the 'Ark Project' is passed, and give the anti-war congressmen You have caused a lot of trouble. To express its gratitude to you, Congress sent you a letter of thanks."
Su Mingan was a little confused: "Ark Plan?"
Qiu Shui smiled and said: "You have lost your memory and you have really forgotten everything. The 'Ark Project' is a plan to research a special drug for black fog disease."
Su Mingan nodded: "Oh."
Then he said: "Research on specific medicines, so why should we oppose it?"
Qiu Shui pursed her lips, entered her password, and finally retrieved the file. In an instant, the document with black and white text appeared on the huge screen, allowing Su Mingan to see it clearly.
…
[Vice Minister Su Shize:
In order to ensure the stability of the world structure and allow the major chaebols to enjoy sufficient benefits, please remain silent when discussing issues related to the 'Ark Project'.
Please sign the attached contract to slow down the development progress of specific medicines for black fog disease.
Coalition Government Mr. Patal]
…
"Delaying the development of vaccines and specific drugs for black fog disease?" Su Mingan read this sentence, and he suspected that he had read it wrong.
He remembered a soldier named "Ming Luo" he had killed - Min Luo's daughter died of black fog disease.
When his daughter was wailing in pain, Mingluo could only stand by the bed helplessly and watch. No medicine could cure his suffering. In the end, the church people forcibly burned his daughter to death, but he was helpless.
This is caused by black fog disease.
It has destroyed so many families and ruined so many people's happiness.
But now - he saw the words "Special medicine for delaying black fog disease"?
"Yes." Qiu Shui nodded: "You may not know what the special medicine for black fog disease means, which will involve an extremely complex power system. Nowadays, human beings have lost 80% of their land, and the entire social system is in danger. Dream The contradiction between the patrolmen and ordinary people has deepened so seriously. The upper management must gather enough funds and resources to maintain this pattern."
Su Mingan's heart became colder and colder.
"You can understand that the emergence of specific medicines must be delayed so that the upper management can have enough time to connect with organizations such as the Zaibatsu and the Kotake Family to give them space to divest and invest." Qiu Shui said: "Once the specific medicines are available soon, If it appears, the financial circle with the "black fog" as its core will be instantly defeated. At that time, once the chaebol collapses and funds are cut off, hundreds of millions of families will be affected. Unemployment, mortgages, relief funds, and stock prices are enough to destroy the entire fragile economy. Financial system. Only by delaying the research on specific drugs can the people slowly adapt to the times and prevent themselves from being overwhelmed by drastic changes."
She took out an electronic pen and handed it to Su Ming'an.
Those bright and slightly sad eyes reflected his slightly startled expression.
"So, Deputy Minister, please sign your name and approve this contract for the 'Special Drug to Delay Black Mist Disease'."
Su Mingan thought of the painful woman just now.
...So those patients who are already in the advanced stages of black fog disease can only watch themselves die.
... Obviously there is already a prototype of the first generation of special medicine that can save their lives, but because of this economic reason, it cannot be released.
Qiu Shui looked at Su Ming'an's expression and persuaded: "According to the demographic data of the coalition government, there are 47,298,321 people suffering from black fog disease today. And among these more than 40 million people, less than a quarter have late-stage black fog disease. One, you know what to do compared to the hundreds of millions of families implicated in the turmoil of the times.”
Su Mingan was silent for a moment, then put down his pen: "There will be a way."
He does not understand what the emergence of specific drugs will bring, nor does he understand the structure of social and economic operations, which require years of study.
But he knew that maybe he shouldn't sign.
At this time, Chaoyan held his hand and motioned for him to pick up the pen again.
"If you don't sign, thousands of people will still sign." Chaoyan said: "The turmoil of a world does not depend on one person's will, unless you are as powerful as a god and can easily involve everyone. People's destiny should not be confused by the turmoil of the times. Otherwise, you cannot change it. Even if you don't sign this contract today, the fifty-eight political systems have already understood what they should do."
Her voice was cold and her words were clear.
"You know what to do, right?"
"After the White Sand Paradise in the Sixth World, tens of millions of mentally ill patients appeared in the Lord God's World. They also did not receive good help. At that time, there were also people you couldn't see who made choices for them."
Su Ming'an suddenly moved and looked at Chao Yan.
...She even knows this.
Su Mingan looked at his pen. His hand once held the lives of hundreds of millions of people. Now, signing a name can also affect the fate of others.
Chaoyan held his hand, the pen tip touched the tablet, and Su Mingan released his fingers.
"Crack."
The electronic pen fell to the ground, leaving a dark mark on the screen.
Su Ming'an turned around and strode away.
Since the situation would not change whether he signed or not, he chose to follow his own heart and not sign.
…
"First Dream Patroller, welcome to join the City Guardian Department. There will be a meeting later. I hope you can enjoy it." Shangqing said: "Tonight, the first tower will be opened. Facing unknown things, mankind will There will always be fears, and hopefully your presence will calm their fears.”
Shadow nodded.
He opened the door and saw a huge venue. Tens of thousands of people were sitting in the seats. The moment Ying entered the door, an overwhelming applause sounded at this moment, warmly welcoming the first Dream Tourist. 's arrival
The light shone on Ying's body, and he squinted his eyes, listening to the roar of the mountain and the tsunami, as if he was in the extreme fanaticism of the crowd.
"The No. 1 Dream Patroller! The No. 1 Dream Patroller!"
"I like you! I like you! No. 1 Dream Patroller! Marry me!"
"Look at me! Look at me! Look at me!"
People kept chanting, as if they were satisfied with the loudness.
Ying pursed her lips, walked up to the high platform, raised her hand, and lowered it slightly.
For a moment, the whole place was silent.
The film looks directly into the camera.
As early as the moment he appeared in place of his true self, Shadow was prepared to stand in the spotlight - this was a whole world. But the moment the scene actually arrived, it made him feel a little emotional.
Although there were tens of thousands of people sitting in the venue, which seemed like a small number, it was densely packed when you looked at it, not to mention the billions of people behind the live broadcast.
Ying turned his head and whispered to Shangqing: "What do I want to say?"
Shangqing was slightly startled, then said:
"Considering that you are going to participate in the first tower tonight, we will not delay you much time. However, the military and the coalition government are somewhat dissatisfied with your joining the Urban Guardian Department, and there are many independent political parties who want to grab people. You Maybe there’s a response.”
"Of course, remaining silent is also a response. You can also leave the topic alone and say something else."
Shadow nodded, indicating that he understood.
He turned around, looked at the excited people, and said with a smile: "Hello everyone."
In an instant, the violent cheers seemed to lift off the ceiling. There were loud shouts from the eaves outside. People held up the light signs in their hands, and some even held tablets, scrolling through the emoticons of the No. 1 Dream Patroller.
Just as Ying was about to speak, he suddenly heard the order from Su Mingan. He said with a smile: "This is the first time I'm meeting you publicly. I want to ask you a question."
"Say it!" The reporter in the front row held up the microphone and the camera clicked.
"We will try our best to answer!" The envoys sitting behind the red silk table were eagerly waiting.
"..." Players including Lu Meng, Higurashi and others were also sitting in their seats, watching the "number one player".
Shadow pressed his hand, and the scene suddenly became quiet.
He spoke into the microphone quietly:
"——Can I know something about the 'Ark Project' and Mizushima Kawakora?"
