It was really surprising that the other party, as the sister of the God of Wisdom, would use such simple and crude methods.

"What else? Are we going to continue to pretend to be nice to them?" Facing Paimon's questioning, Apep expressed his disdain.

She had long been fed up with these two-faced people who said one thing in public and another in private.

But until now, neither independent investigators such as Ying and Paimeng, nor the official investigation agency represented by Seno, have taken any concrete actions against these corrupt elements in high positions.

This made her feel very puzzled. Obviously everyone knew that they had a problem, so why didn't they just take action?

Even if they destroyed the evidence and knew how to hide their ulterior motives, a mistake is a mistake. Why don't they just arrest the person and interrogate him? Wouldn't that solve the problem?

Even if those humans have objections to this, they can just use the power of God to suppress it. Who would dare to have an objection to this?

Apep couldn't figure it out, so he just gave up thinking about it. Without notifying Nashida, he went straight to Ying and Paimon, ready to clean up the mess for Xumi himself.

"Isn't this a bad thing? Will it disrupt Nashida's plan?" Looking at Apep's confident look, Ying was still a little worried.

She didn't know whether Apep's action was her own decision or with Nashida's approval.

If it was the latter, it would be fine, but if it was the former, their reckless behavior this time might bring unnecessary trouble to Nashida.

Don’t let it happen that in the end, I, “Nashida’s most loyal honorary sage,” end up stabbing the Grass God in the back. That would be a huge joke.

"Why do you care about this? I am Nashida's sister. She is the goddess of wisdom. Am I not the same? Or do you not trust me?!"

Apparently, being dissuaded again and again had made Apep a little impatient, and he directly interrupted Ying's next words of dissuasion.

Obviously, she wanted to prove something to Nashida this time, but why were everyone mentioning Nashida? Where could she, the Grass Dragon King, save her face?

And even if there is no evidence, she can just read minds when the time comes, so there won't be so much trouble.

You have to know that she is now Nashida's subordinate, and Nashida's mark is left on her body, so she can also use this mark to exercise some of Nashida's authority.

And mind reading is the most useful one among these powers. Although I don’t know why Nashida doesn’t like to use it, she has no such concerns and just uses it directly.

"You don't have to say anything. I have made up my mind. You just follow me and help me."

After saying that, Apep strode directly out of the cafe, leaving the three people standing there looking at each other in bewilderment.

At this point, they can only hope that Nashida's sister can be more reliable.

...

Several weeks have passed since Adid last made a shocking statement at the plenary session.

During this period, he no longer had the prestige he once had, and he lived every day with caution, fearing that someone would appear at his door one day and tell him that he was on the purge list.

He has also dealt with all the old forces that cooperated with him. At the same time, in order to prove his innocence, he also took the initiative to report a lot of small fry to avoid suspicion.

Just like that, after the climax of the first week, the rectification movement entered a period of calm, allowing the heavy stone in his heart to gradually fall.

In his opinion, he had made so many contributions to the revolution in the past, and he almost immediately expressed his support for the Dacishuwang Resolution after it was issued, so he had a high probability of passing the rectification campaign.

What he has to do now is to do his job well and wait for this storm to pass, and then make a comeback in time.

"Void Terminal: Adid, Lord Grass God has ordered you to go to the People's Conference Room No. 5 to attend the meeting. No one will be allowed to attend after you arrive."

Suddenly, just as Adid was still thinking about his future life, a notification from the void terminal made him stunned.

After confirming that the notice was indeed from "Grass God", he felt a little confused and didn't know what to do for a moment.

But soon, he reacted and began to read the details of the notice.

"Master Grass God, what happened today? Why is it so sudden? Without even an advance notice?"

Whether it is the release time or the meeting place, this notice seems extremely unusual.

"As I recall, isn't Conference Room 5 a backup? Normally for this kind of meeting, shouldn't we go to Conference Rooms 2, 3, or 4?"

In his impression, the several meeting rooms in the People's Meeting Hall have their own uses and there are fixed standards for their use.

Among them, Conference Room 1 is the largest and has the most complete facilities. It is usually used for general meetings, such as the last plenary meeting.

Conference rooms 2, 3 and 4 are usually used for small meetings, and important decisions are usually made at these meetings.

As for Conference Room No. 5, it is used as a backup. It is generally not activated unless there is a celebration or something unexpected happens.

This time, Cao Shen actually summoned the Central Committee members to a meeting in Conference Room No. 5 without even releasing any information in advance. It was really confusing to ask them to go there so suddenly.

However, this does not mean that Adid will not go. After all, this is a direct order from Lord Grass God, and he would not dare to disobey even if he had ten times the courage.

The group of people who dared to disobey the will of the Lord Grass God now have grass on their graves that is so tall that no one knows how high it is.

Hazard: Don't cue

So, even though he had some doubts in his heart, Adid prepared the documents needed for the meeting as quickly as possible and walked out of his office.

As for whether this trip might be a trap set by the God of Grass, Adid didn't think about it at all.

On the one hand, based on his understanding of Lord Grass God, he was a very reasonable god who always had a legitimate reason for doing anything, and he would not launch such a surprise attack.

On the other hand, although he thought he was very influential, it was not to the extent that even the gods would swallow their pride and deal with him personally. That would be too exaggerated.

So, he came to the People's Conference Hall alone with a briefcase.

But as soon as he stepped into the door of the meeting room, he felt something was wrong and frowned involuntarily.

Because in the corridor of the conference hall, which should have been crowded with people coming to the meeting, there was no one at the moment, it was so empty that it was frightening.

But this did not make Adid back off. In his opinion, it might be because he came too early. After all, the notice was sent so suddenly.

Afterwards, he did not stay at the door of the conference hall for too long, but turned and walked towards the corridor leading to Conference Room 5.

And along the way, he still didn't meet even one person in the entire corridor. It was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop on the ground.

Finally, Adid arrived at the entrance of Conference Room 5, but looking at the scene in front of him, he felt a little hesitant for the first time.

Because at the entrance of Conference Room 5, Ying and Paimon were in charge of security, which made him very nervous.

He knew the identities of these two people very clearly, and also knew what work they were responsible for now, so he, a corrupt element, felt nervous.

"Adi, is that you? Please come in, the meeting is about to start."

Even in this situation, the duo still had Paimon speaking, pointing to the interior of Conference Room 5 to Adid, who had already begun to sweat.

"Okay... okay, I'll be right there." Suppressing the uneasiness in his heart and forcing a smile, Adid pretended to be calm as he walked between the two people and headed into the meeting room.

But the next moment, a pair of strong hands pressed him to the ground and tied his hands behind his back.

"I'm here for a meeting, what are you going to do!"

Seeing this, Adid had no idea what was happening and immediately began to struggle on the ground.

But he was no match for Ying. Even if he used all his strength, he couldn't break free from Ying's restraints.

"Be honest, we finally caught you. To be honest, we have been planning this for a long time!"

Seeing that Adid had been tied up tightly by Ying, Paimon flew over from the side and, as always, began to add insult to injury.

Immediately afterwards, Adid, under Ying's escort, walked into the conference room.

Then when he looked up, he saw a familiar young figure standing in the middle of the conference room, and next to her stood a chestnut-haired figure holding a red spear.

"Adid, what crime have you committed?"

Chapter 162: Humans and Gods

"So, what are you doing?"

Looking at the large group of people tied up in front of her, Nashida held her forehead with her hand, feeling helpless.

After arresting Adid, Apep and his men followed suit and soon used the same method to capture a large number of high-level corrupt elements lurking in the Renaissance Alliance.

They were all on the list early on, but for various reasons, they were not arrested in time. Now they were all caught by Apep and his team.

Not only that, for some people whose evidence might not be sufficient, Apep also performed a set of memory recovery techniques on them one by one to help them recall the crimes they had committed.

After doing all this, Apep excitedly contacted Nashida through the void and took credit for himself and the other three.

"My dear sister, couldn't you tell me before you went to catch someone?" However, the scene was a little different from what Apep had imagined. After Nashida arrived, she not only did not praise them, but her tone even contained some blame.

"And you two too. It's fine if my sister and Kurumi don't understand, but you've been arresting people for so long, don't you understand either?"

With her hands on her hips and turning her head to look at Ying and Paimon, Nashida's tone became a little heavier.

"Nashida, this is my own decision. Don't blame the traveler for them."

Seeing that Nashida still wanted to continue, Apep's pride as a dragon made her stand up and she took the initiative to walk in front of Nashida.

Although she didn't know why Nashida was unhappy about this, she would not let the two travelers who followed her orders suffer any loss.

Even after taking the initiative to assume responsibility, she still had a question in her mind.

Why, knowing clearly that these people have problems, don't we just catch them all at once, but instead take it slow?

This made Apep, who didn't know much about human society, very confused, so he asked Nashida directly.

"Well..." Nashida sighed. She understood that this incident was essentially Apep's good intention, so she didn't really want to blame them.

After all, they did not arrest the wrong people, as they were all corrupt elements. It was just that the time of their arrest disrupted the original schedule.

"Because humans are different from us, if human society wants to continue to function, it must maintain a stable environment, and everything must be done in a certain 'order'."

Nashida gently stroked Apep's side ponytail with her hand, admiring how good it felt, and then she began to explain to Apep the reason behind this matter.

In fact, before today, as Ying and Paimon learned, Nashida had already heard of the existence of these corrupt elements.

And secretly, she had already investigated and monitored these people through the void, and collected evidence of their crimes one by one.

It can even be said that as long as Nashida wanted, she could always catch all these people in one fell swoop just like what Apep did today.

But she did not do so in the end. Instead, she handed over all investigation and arrest tasks to the supervision and disciplinary inspection agencies of the Xumi government.

"Sister, after hearing so much, why do you think I did this?" Leaning on Apep's shoulder, Nashida asked Apep back.

"Uh…"

While feeling the lovely white-haired elf behind him and lifting his chin with his little hand, Apep began to think.

"Maybe Narcida you want to be lazy?"

Unfortunately, even though Nashida explained it so clearly, Apep still couldn't come up with an answer.

"Stupid! What are you thinking, sister? If this gets out, I, the God of Wisdom, will lose face."

Under the shining gaze of Walnut and the other two, Nashida tapped the back of Apep's head with her hand and puffed up her lips.

No one knew what the reason was. It was clearly an ancient dragon that had survived from ancient times, but after it signed a vassal contract with her and transformed, Apep's mind just couldn't get it together.

This gave Nashida a headache, because in the eyes of the outside world, Apep was the sister of her God of Wisdom, so how could she be so "wise".

Even though the body becomes much smaller after the transformation, the intelligence should not degenerate as well.

Therefore, the root of the problem is definitely not the height, but there are other reasons, and in her opinion, this is most likely related to the void terminal.

Because with the construction of the void network during this period, and the fact that she finally had time to update the void, many new things have appeared in the void now.

Moreover, since coming to Xumi City, apart from going out to play with Hutao, Apep's daily routine is to stay at Jingshan Palace and surf the Internet. He never leaves the house.

And for well-known reasons, long-term use of the void will inevitably make people lazy, become dependent on the void and not think for themselves.

All of the above, plus the extremely high authority that Nashida had previously given to Apep, gave rise to the image of a stay-at-home girl who is highly addicted to the Internet and unwilling to go out.

Therefore, it is time to develop an anti-addiction system for the void!

"That's because the majority of Xumi society is still made up of humans. Regardless of whether the ruler is a god or not, all political systems still revolve around the concept of "human beings."

Looking at Apep who was glaring at her in pain, Nashida sighed again and began to explain for her.

Now she finally knew what wear and tear felt like.

"Therefore, when humans exercise power on behalf of gods to form a government, they must establish a corresponding supervision mechanism from the beginning to ensure that the team does not degenerate."

After the establishment of New Xumi, the Renaissance Alliance immediately transformed from a resistance organization to the country's rulers.

In this process, many cadres will not be able to resist the temptation and become corrupt, which is of course within Nashida's prediction.

That is why she launched the Rectification Movement and established corresponding anti-corruption mechanisms to fight against it.

"But this kind of supervision should not be carried out under the high pressure of gods, or when gods personally take action, but should establish corresponding institutions and systems to supervise it through human power itself."

This is why Nashida did not get too involved in this rectification except for giving the orders at the beginning.

Because in her opinion, anti-corruption should not rely on a certain movement or a certain person's personal authority, but on a systematic supervision system and its corresponding supervisory and disciplinary inspection agencies.

In the process of establishing this system, she should reduce the role played by gods and rely more on the power of human beings themselves.
