He looked at the number that appeared on the screen.
3 collections..
Ling Pingan smacked his lips.
One update and two new collections?
Was it so hard to get a new book now?
He scratched his head and silently closed the web page.
Then, he looked back at his manuscript. After feeling that there were no problems, he continued to write.
Now, he began to write about the war with the aliens.
According to his idea, he began to write on the document.
Ancient extraterrestrial ruins..
Directly holding the top of the pyramid!
Ancient Egypt, ancient Shang dynasty, and ancient Khmer style pyramids stood silently under the Antarctic Ice Sheet.
Curious scientists mistakenly entered the ruins.
They thought they had discovered history, but in the end, they found nightmares.
A terrifying biochemical weapon left behind by ancient aliens on earth was sleeping here.
The arrival of humans had disturbed these prehistoric biochemical weapons and activated their combat procedures.
Thus, disaster fell..
Ling Pingan typed word by word.
The keyboard was clacking.
In the quiet bookstore, the kitten was gently lying on the counter.
The sound of the owner tapping on the keyboard was like a grand and magnificent concert.
It was as if they were in that ancient era.
At that time, there was no time or space.
Even entropy didn’t exist.
Everything returned to nothingness.
There was only the center of the universe, the origin of everything.
Gorgeous and crazy music was played all the time.
That was the music before the Big Bang.
It was also the music that existed before the concept of sound.
Therefore, almost no one could understand it.
Therefore, any existence, even if they just heard a note, could go crazy.
Because he/she could not accept and understand such things.
“Master’s awakening rate is much higher…” the kitten was a little depressed.
… … ..
Situ He pushed open the door of his office.
He walked in and there were already people waiting for him.
“General Situ!” The judge wearing a Xiezhi hat stood up.
A very young judge!
At most, he was thirty years old!
He looked very young — in the profession of judges, 50 years old could be said to be ‘young and vigorous’. Usually, after 80 years old, the judges would consider retiring.
Moreover, judges were a very sacred profession in the federal empire.
This could be seen from the pinnacle of the profession of judges — the title of the Great Guardian of the Empire.
Great Guardian!
The gatekeeper of the constitution, the defender and protector of the Empire’s system.
A living saint who was praised by the media and the people as having ‘all the virtues and morals in one body’.
And below the great guardian were the Chief Judges of the Federal Empire’s Circuit Court.
Each of them was the seed of the future great guardian.
And this person in front of him was the youngest chief judge of the Federal Empire’s Circuit Court.
The Chief Judge of the Third Circuit Court, Qin Anmin.
Looking at him, even Situ He felt a little headache.
He disliked these judges the most.
Because, it was impossible to reason with them clearly.
In the eyes of the judges, there was only the code of law.
Apart from that, there was nothing else!
“Duke Ming, please sit…” Situ He forced a smile and said to Qin Anmin.
Duke Ming was the official title of the judges according to the law.
This was the rule set by the great ancestor.
The so-called Lord Ming was a man of light. He was determined to reach the masses.
At the same time, it was a form of respect.
Respect for the law implied that the law was the wish of the people, and the judges were the ones who interpreted or judged these rules.
They were entrusted to the embodiment of justice of the people.
They were also the people who held the final line of the country’s benevolence, justice, and morality.
The late great protector Zhang Yi once said a famous saying: Don’t ask what justice can bring us, ask what we can do for justice?
Therefore, the judges were the most hated people in most of the Empire’s institutions, but they had to respect them.
Qin Anmin looked at Situ He and sat down. He took out a document from his briefcase, he handed it to Situ He. “General Situ He, on behalf of the Empire’s Third Circuit Court and the Special Affairs Tribunal, I officially inform you that we can not accept the accusations of your excellency and the Blackguard in the case of Ao Xian and Ma Baobao!”
“Legally, to organize an evil organization, three necessary conditions must be met…”
“And, Ao Xian and Ma Baobao can not even meet half of the conditions!”
Situ He listened and sat down on his seat. He nodded and said, “We understand the court’s opinion…”
The prosecution of both parties was also a game of cat and mouse.
For the past two hundred years, the Blackguard had been working hard to prove the guilt of every foreign species or transcendent being that they had prosecuted.
As for the court, they had been working hard to analyze every accusation and then reject them as much as possible.
This wasn’t because the judges were inclined to protect the foreign species or transcendent being.
It was because they knew that the Blackguard’s high-pressure control had to have a vent.
At the same time, it was also a defense of the law.
In a sense, if the blackguard was a pressure cooker, then the judge was a regulator.
The pressure couldn’t be too great.
Every judge knew this.
Otherwise, in the federal empire, thousands of foreign species and transcendent being like Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, it would definitely cause social unrest.
Their killing of civilians was more terrifying and efficient than the army.
Situ He took the document from the other party, looked at it, and signed it. Then he said, “Master Ming, we will reorganize the prosecution as soon as possible!”
Qin Anmin nodded and said seriously, “The Blackguard has been under a lot of pressure recently… especially in the Guangnan area. You have prosecuted too many people…”
“Many of them are just minor crimes…”
“A warning and education will do…”
Situ He smiled bitterly. He also wanted to do that.
But..
There was an ancient god here.
What could he do?
He could only continue to increase the pressure. He could let those who were used to being undisciplined know that in Guangnan, they could not break the rules as easily as in other places.
Whoever broke the rules would be punished!
But he could not say anything about this.
This was a top secret for now!
Other than those who knew, no one else could be told.
This was discipline!
“Please understand the court…” Situ He could only say, “The work is a little hard, but this is also for the public!”
Qin Anmin shook his head and said, “The Blackguard has the rules of the Blackguard, and the court has the insistence of the Court!”
“Although we are the guardians of the law…”
“But, we are also people who defend public order, good customs, and benevolence and morality…”
“Please understand us, Blackguard…”
“We will not accept most of the cases!”
“This is our attitude!”
This was also the attitude of most of the judges!
The law was dead. If they followed the rules of the law, it would be too rigid.
Especially the cases of the Blackguard, they were all cases of transcendent being/foreign species.
In the eyes of the judges, transcendent being/foreign species were first and foremost a citizen, a person.
They can not be presumed guilty!
In the eyes of the Blackguard, all the transcendent being/foreign species outside the control of the Blackguard may be criminals.
This is the greatest contradiction between the two.
Therefore, the Blackguard often likes to use chicken feathers as a command arrow.
And the judges, what to do is to veto their behavior.
Because from the beginning of their profession, they are told that we are not only the gatekeepers of the law, but also the Guardians of public order, good customs, benevolence and morality!
The law may be wrong.
But public order, good customs and benevolence and morality can not be wrong.
These feelings, which are based on the people’s simplest good wishes and the most basic ethics and morality, can not be wrong.
The law is wrong, and they should be corrected.
The Federal Empire, in particular, is three hundred years old.
Many laws are outdated.
However, due to various reasons, these laws could not be amended in time.
Therefore, the judges actually bore the responsibility of revising and correcting.
Situ He looked at this stubborn judge and sighed helplessly. “Alright, I will try my best to reduce such things to the extent possible…”
“But…” He looked at the young man under the Haechi Crown. “There are some things that the Blackguard will not give in!”
Qin Anmin smiled. “I understand!”
He was already used to it.
The Blackguard always doubted everything.
But he had to admit that the country could not live without their suspicion.
Otherwise, it would have been chaotic long ago.
But… even if he understood, Qin Anmin also knew that he had to resolutely resist the pressure from the Blackguard.
Because his duty was to prevent the Blackguard from making mistakes.
This was also Gao Zong’s original intention when he established the Blackguard and set up a special affairs tribunal independent of the Blackguard.
If the use of strength was not restricted, then it would definitely lead to the strong oppressing and exploiting the weak.
The weak here referred to those who had grasped transcendent being/foreign species.
It was also these transcendent being/foreign species themselves.
Because compared to the blackguard, they were the weak.
If the Blackguard had no scruples, what would happen to these people?
They were also the people!
… … ..
After sending Qin Anmin away, situ he rubbed his aching temples.
Dealing with the judge gave him a headache every time.
But this was the rule!
The Blackguard was the enforcer, responsible for arresting people.
But the trial and conviction were the judge’s business.
“Sigh…” he sighed. “If the court’s attitude is like this… I’m afraid that the high-pressure control will be loosened…”
If the people arrested were all released.
That in itself would weaken the other people’s fear and fear of the Blackguard.
Thus, it would cause those transcendent being/foreign species to become active.
This was unacceptable.
Therefore, it was important to maintain a certain degree of control.
Especially after the court had made its stance clear.
“But… if we relax our control, I’m afraid that the people in Jiangcheng City and Guangnan will start to germinate again…”
In the past, what were the foreign species and transcendents like in Guangnan?
They were similar to other places in the Federal Empire.
They would play the side of the law.
They organized gatherings in the name of magic and tricks.
There were even some guys who liked to wander around.
Under normal circumstances, the Blackguard would turn a blind eye to such things.
But the problem was that there was a great Buddha squatting in Jiangcheng City.
If there was an ignorant guy who provoked him.
Would he have another scare like this morning?
Situ He only thought about it, and he was trembling a little.
There was no other way!
He could only pick up the phone and call Xia Ping, instructing him to strengthen the control of the industrial park area.
He would try his best to keep those suicidal people away from the local area.
At the very least, he would limit the frequency of their appearance in the local area.
And the method was actually very simple.
There was no need to say it out loud!
He only needed to increase the strength of the local blackguard.
If there were a large number of blackguard in the area, and from time to time, people would know that there were many blackguard here.
Then, most people would wisely stay away.
After all, no one was stupid enough to directly run into the Blackguard.
Even if it was just a check and inspection, it would be enough to make those who were naturally free drink a pot of water.
However, this would inevitably tell others that there was a problem here.
This was the reason why Situ He didn’t do this before.
Everyone had their own curiosity.
There were always people who weren’t afraid of death who liked to spy.
But now..
There was nothing he could do.
He could only do this. He could only hope that this signal would be received by others.
Let the others know that it was a dragon’s den and a tiger’s den.
All of you better tuck your tails between your legs and behave yourself.
Putting down the phone, Situ He sighed.
He suddenly remembered something.
What was the target doing now?
He picked up the remote control and turned on the monitor. Streets and alleys appeared on the screen from multiple angles.
Everything was normal.
The target was in the bookstore and had not left the house.
The lights in the bookstore were still on.
Under the street lights, there were no pedestrians in the quiet streets and alleys.
“Well…” Situ He finally felt relieved.
At this moment, the phone on his desk rang.
He looked at it. It was a call from the technology department.
He picked it up and answered it.
“Well…”
“Got it…”
Putting down the phone, Situ He smiled strangely.
Because the technology department reported that the target had registered a brand-new pen name on a novel website and uploaded a new book.
“Guan Gong versus Qin Qiong?”
Situ He frowned.
It was very easy for the technology department to find such a thing, because the information that the target had registered on the Internet would be reported to the technology department.
And the target did not hide himself, he directly registered his real name.
So..
“What does he want to express?”
“I am the creator of the insect swarm?” Situ He recalled the title and introduction of the book. “The insect swarm is just a toy that I created, but they have caused a world-ending disaster in countless worlds!”
He knew that goals never did useless work.
At least, since he was discovered, every signal and message he released to the outside world had a clear direction and purpose.
So..
Situ He had to think. What did he want to tell the world, especially the Blackguard, through this matter?
“To show his strength and strength?”
Situ He thought.
Creator, does that mean that he can create species?
And that brief introduction was telling people what he could do?
Or what he had done before?
Situ He was puzzled, so he opened the website and searched for the title of the book.
He clicked on it. It was a lonely page, and the book review section was bare.
He looked at the word count. It was already more than 8,000 words.
Situ He clicked on it and began to read.
He read the 8,000 words very slowly.
He read word by word.
On the surface, it seemed to be a very common web novel.
The first two chapters described the background of the main character and the so-called system and its basic capabilities.
But..
Situ He knew that there was a mystery behind this!
There must be a mystery!
He thought for a moment and was about to click on the button to collect.
But, his soul suddenly warned him.
It seemed that collecting itself would bring disaster!
So he gave up.
But, this made him even more determined that there was a problem with this matter.
… … … ..
Ling Pingan raised his head and looked at the clock on the wall.
It was already 10:30 pm.
He stopped.
After stretching his neck, he picked up the remote control and turned on the television.
The news about the college entrance examination was being broadcasted on the television.
“Our reporter reports that the examination area of the West Song Kingdom will end at 11:30 pm in the metropolitan territory…”
“Our reporter is already waiting at the various examination halls in the newly opened capital of the West Song Kingdom…”
Ling Pingan was stunned when he heard this. “So soon?”
The college entrance examination of the West Song Kingdom was actually coming to an end.
This also meant that the entire college entrance examination season was coming to an end.
In the next week, the results would be announced one after another.
According to the college entrance examination method, the various universities would also announce their admission scores one after another.
“I wonder how many people in Jiangcheng City will be able to get into key universities this year…” Ling Pingan couldn’t help but think.
Jiangcheng City’s college entrance exam results had been suppressed by the neighboring Bao’an City for ten years in a row.
So much so that on the forum, the people of Bao’an mocked Jiangcheng City for ten years.
Meanwhile, the people of Jiangcheng City could only be helpless and furious.
They had no choice but to lie down and admit their ridicule.
The college entrance exam was the fairest!
A win was a win, and a loss was a loss. There was nothing to say!
Ling Pingan watched the news until 11pm.
Ling Pingan then turned off the TV and stood up. He closed the shutter, turned off the lights, and walked upstairs.
As he walked, he shook his head. “It seems that those practice books will be lost for sure!”
The college entrance examination had ended, which meant that no one would buy those books anymore.
So..
“Donate them!” Ling Pingan said, “Donate them to an educational institution…”
Therefore, Ling Pingan chose to donate his old books.
After all, they were no longer valuable in his hands.
However, it was a waste to sell them as useless books.
It was better to donate them. Donating them to people in need would not only show a gentleman’s character, but also benefit children!
And those books eventually flowed to those poor countries.
For example, Siam, Khmer, and even Kunlun state.
As he spoke, the bookshelves downstairs began to shake.
Some books began to wriggle as if they were alive.
Monsters crawled out of these books.
These monsters slowly crawled into other bookshelves.
They crawled into books.
However, some books had owners.
Thus, it was inevitable that there would be fierce battles.
Countless halos bloomed between the bookshelves.
It was knowledge singing, but also strength fighting!
Bastet looked and immediately buried her head.
This kind of battle was too intense for him!
But Ling Pingan walked up the stairs.
Creak, Creak, Creak. The stairs swayed.
Pairs of scarlet eyes lit up from the wallpaper of the bookstore.
They looked at the monsters that were fighting and did not say anything.
This was a very normal thing.
The strong preyed on the weak!
And the weak did not deserve to live!
