Eternal Night.

Chapter 286 A common man is angry

"Investigate! We must investigate thoroughly! Investigate everything inside and out!"

"Damn it, before the Fourth World War, even companies wouldn't assassinate presidential candidates, not even the People's Revolutionary League did it. We are really going backwards!"

"How dare you? How could anyone dare!?"

Regardless of whether it was true or false, everyone in the entire Land of Redemption was in an uproar, whether it was the six presidential candidates, the extraordinary people in the Land of Redemption, or the more clerks, and the ordinary people living in this Land of Redemption, almost everyone was so indignant that some people even began to organize marches.

Wu Xianxiao, the person involved, was calm enough. He didn't even have any expression. He walked around the whole town calmly with a cheerful smile. Then he returned to the guild hall to sleep at night. The next day, he ate and went shopping as usual, looking leisurely and doing nothing.

Gao Changgong came back the next afternoon. As soon as he came back, he learned that Wu Xianxiao had been attacked, and what a damn thing it was, a super-electromagnetic railgun.

Although this is certainly not a cutting-edge weapon for humans in the 29th century, it is just like how someone living a simple life in the 21st century can be killed by a homemade pistol. If they really want to assassinate someone, they can't use an atomic bomb, right?
It is already very exaggerated to be able to use such a weapon.

The key is that this weapon is not a single-soldier weapon, nor is it a portable weapon. It requires a base of more than three meters and a stable power supply. The deployment alone takes several people half a day to complete. It is by no means an assassination that can be carried out suddenly. It must be assisted by the powerful in the Land of Redemption. It cannot be done by a few corporate spies.

Although Gao Changgong already knew that Wu Xianxiao was safe and sound, his face was still full of fear. When he saw Wu Xianxiao, his face turned from brown to blue-white, and he looked like a treacherous minister on the stage.

"...Let me take a breath." Gao Changgong held on to the chair and sat down tremblingly. He finally breathed a sigh of relief after a long time.

Before he could say anything, nor before Gao Changgong could say anything, the office door was suddenly pushed open, and Wu Xianxiao saw a familiar woman rushing in dragging a young man.

"Fuck, you scared me to death!"

The woman ran to Wu Xianxiao and looked around carefully. After confirming that Wu Xianxiao was not a ghost or something, she patted her chest and exhaled.

This woman was also an acquaintance of Wu Xianxiao. She met him during the Battle of Redemption. Her name was Lin Nianzhi. The young man she dragged away was named Wang Yihui. They were also comrades who fought side by side during the Battle of Redemption.

Not only did Lin Nianzhi come running over in a hurry, but Wang Yihui, who was being dragged away by her, also looked anxious, but at this time he relaxed.

Wu Xianxiao asked in confusion: "Is it so exaggerated? Didn't you just get attacked and come back? Why are you making it seem like you are going to die?"

Gao Changgong smiled bitterly and said, "If you die, we will almost die too. Although it may not be the death of life, it will definitely be the death of our ambitions and ideals."

Seeing that Wu Xianxiao was still puzzled, Wang Yihui straightened his messy clothes and said to Wu Xianxiao: "Brother Wu, we have already stood on your side. If you are gone, we will definitely be excluded by the other six presidential candidates. This is very complicated and involves human politics in the 29th century. In short, we all rely on you to survive now."

Wu Xianxiao said in dissatisfaction, "Forget it. I don't want to be president! Chu Minghao is forcing me to be a presidential candidate. What do you think I can do? Perform martial arts on stage?"

Unexpectedly, several people laughed, and Wang Yihui explained: "Wu Ge may have misunderstood. Our president can actually perform martial arts on stage if you like. Because with the main brain, the president's task is actually more to supervise the main brain rather than to really manage things. This is itself a multiple supervision and restraint system to avoid the emergence of end-products and so on. On the contrary, a president with real power like Mr. Chu Minghao is extremely rare. Among all the presidents, only the first generation of super brain presidents and the sixth generation of super brain presidents are exceptions."

Wu Xianxiao naturally didn't understand the politics of the 29th century, but he understood it, so he said, "Ruling with ease? A human-shaped seal?"

Wang Yihui nodded immediately and said, "That's a little bit true, but the power is also great. The most important power is naturally to obtain control over the underlying programs of some main brains. The owner of the super brain will get more. In short, if Wu Ge really becomes president, it doesn't matter if he doesn't care about things. Anyway, you have a super brain, and you are also a human countermeasure to control the main brain."

Gao Changgong also helped explain: "The main brain is essentially a crystallization of multiple composite singularity technologies, and the most important of them is the brains of several super brains as the underlying program structure. Why can super brains and potential super brains directly become presidential candidates? It is because the super brain owners have a certain degree of counter-power against the main brain."

After hearing this, Wu Xianxiao was thoughtful. He also roughly understood why the potential super brain could awaken in the main brain.

At this time, Lin Nianzhi and Wang Yihui both found a seat and sat down. Lin Nianzhi said, "I led the whole team to vote for you. Live well, understand?"

Wu Xianxiao thought for a moment and said, "What benefits will you get? I mean after you support me to become president."

The three of them laughed. Wang Yihui said, "Brother Wu, don't you understand yet? The biggest benefit is that as your campaign team and staff, after you become president, those who are interested in politics can participate in various affairs of the human government. If you are not interested in politics, the biggest benefit is that we can share the underlying structure of the main brain. To put it bluntly, it is a super brain ability, which can make us become superhuman. Let's not talk about anything else, just a simple learning ability. We can immediately learn the knowledge that others take ten years to learn in one day, just like superhuman learning. Isn't that enough?"

Wu Xianxiao was shocked and said, "What!? I'm a genius!" The three of them were stunned. They didn't understand what Wu Xianxiao wanted to say for a while. After several seconds, they laughed at the same time. Lin Nianzhi patted Wu Xianxiao's shoulder and said, "You are so good at telling jokes. I'm sorry. You didn't have super brain ability before you awakened your super brain, right? If you want to be a genius, at least wait until you awaken."

After laughing, the atmosphere eased. Wang Yihui waited for a few seconds before saying, "Brother Wu, it's a good thing that you didn't get angry right away. Because of your attack, the other six presidential candidates must express their opinions, so the presidential proxy meeting can no longer be delayed. This is one reason. Second, in order to show that he was not the mastermind behind the attack on you, the possibility of your proposal being passed will also increase greatly. As for the attacker..."

"There were no attackers."

Wu Xianxiao said indifferently: "There was no one at the shooting point that attacked me. It was an automatic program."

Lin Nianzhi didn't react at all, but Wang Yihui and Gao Changgong's expressions changed.

"…It really has something to do with the company or the People's Revolutionary League."

Wang Yihui muttered something, and seeing Wu Xianxiao was puzzled, he immediately explained: "At present, all artificial intelligence or automatic programs are prohibited in the Land of Redemption. According to Mr. Chu Minghao, non-intellectual intelligent programs are very easy to be slowly eroded by external pollution. Before the Land of Redemption expands to five million square kilometers, try not to use any artificial intelligence and automatic programs... So, this is the symbol of the company or the People's Revolutionary League!"

Wu Xianxiao sat in his chair without saying anything, so Wang Yihui said to Gao Changgong: "Captain Gao, it seems that our previous speculation is gradually coming true. The longer Mr. Chu Minghao is trapped in the weekend, the greater the erosion of the Redemption Land by the company and the People's Revolutionary League will be."

Gao Changgong sighed and said, "The key is that the six presidential candidates do not have the power to counter the company and the People's Revolutionary League. Their power is still dormant. So far, only 300,000 living people have awakened. The six of them have lost their family and government backgrounds. It is completely useless to rely on them alone."

"Then let's get it resolved quickly."

Wu Xianxiao clapped his hands and the three of them looked at him.

"When can the presidential acting meeting be convened at the earliest?" Wu Xianxiao asked.

Gao Changgong immediately said: "In theory, as long as the seven presidential candidates are present and have a legitimate reason, we can hold a meeting tonight, but I have only contacted three teams, and the top extraordinary people who worked with us before have not responded yet. And in terms of building momentum..."

"No, just tonight."

Wu Xianxiao stood up and said, "Send someone to inform the other six to hold a presidential acting meeting tonight."

Gao Changgong was shocked and was about to speak, but Wang Yihui stopped him and asked in a deep voice, "Wu Ge, is this appropriate? You know, if you really do this, you will be cutting yourself off from the unified human government. This is really a groundbreaking event!"

Wu Xianxiao walked out of the house, saying as he walked: "I am willing to treat them as human beings, but if they themselves are no longer human beings, then I will not treat them as human beings... In my dictionary, monsters have no sense of pain."

This answer sounded ambiguous, but Wang Yihui nodded silently.

After Wu Xianxiao walked out of the room, Lin Nianzhi couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean? What's the big deal? What's human or inhuman? Could it be that there is a monster lurking among the six presidential candidates?"

Gao Changgong also came to his senses at this time. With a complicated expression, he looked at Wang Yihui.

Wang Yihui shook his head and said, "Just do as Wu Ge said. The longer the night, the more troubles there are. Even if saving Mr. Chu Minghao is the righteous cause, even if Wu Ge still has the entrance to the zero o'clock three dream world, even if they have no reason to object, but novels talk about logic, reality doesn't talk about this at all. They can even collude with the company and the People's Revolutionary League to assassinate Wu Ge, who is also a presidential candidate. God knows whether they will really oppose and delay. If another person enters the dream world and is gone, let alone anything else, this meeting will be delayed for several months. I don't know if Mr. Chu Minghao can continue to persevere..."

"It's time to take drastic measures! Let Mr. Wu Xianxiao take the lead!"

"because……"

Wang Yihui in the room and Wu Xianxiao, who had already walked out of the hall, said the same words almost in unison.

"When a common man is angry, blood will be splashed five steps forward!"

At nine o'clock that evening, the first acting presidential meeting of the new term was held in the government building.
