As a mage, I just want to pursue the truth

Chapter 167: Showing Your Divine Power in Public (5000 words!)

The number of attendees at the Nobel Prize ceremony each year is generally around 1,500.

This year's number of people is greater than in previous years, reaching over two thousand.

The security check at the Stockholm Concert Hall was much stricter than in previous years, and it was a scene that the Swedish celebrities who had attended the award ceremony many times had never seen before.

"Are you ready, Mirren?" the white middle-aged man asked. "Get ready for the most glorious moment of your life!"

Most of Zheng Li's consciousness has been connected to the white man's brain, ready to take over this body at any time.

Bill's nose was red, he was excited but also a little nervous: "Will Merlin come?"

The white man consoled him, "According to current observations, Merlin will not come, but who knows, maybe Merlin will open a door in the sky and show up."

After he finished speaking, he chuckled twice.

Bill laughed dryly. "Merlin probably doesn't have that ability. He's just a Blue Star man who has mastered advanced technology. Magic is essentially a new technological system dominated by biotechnology."

This is an illusion, because Zheng Li has become a god of magic, and has always been engaged in the field of biology. It does not mean that the magic civilization is dominated by biology.

The white man patted him on the shoulder and said, "Play your role well. We have set up a trap around you. We are just waiting for Merlin to show up."

"Whether he appears or not doesn't affect your future role as Mirren."

"Merlin's appearance means disappearance. He will be controlled and taken away by us."

Zheng Li always felt that the people of Blue Star were a little too arrogant, or rather, they looked down on the mage.

To be precise, it should be the American side. China is still very cautious.

It can be seen from the speeches in the Mage Forum that the owners of the magic brains of the other three forces speak relatively casually.

The speeches of Chinese scientists have to be reviewed and revised by people from the Abnormal Management Bureau before they can be released, which has the flavor of an official statement.

Many of the words used here confuse scientists who are not working in the diplomatic field, and they only understand their meaning after listening to the explanations of professionals from their own country.

"Chinese culture is really broad and profound."

There are five types of Nobel Prizes, and the award ceremonies are held in that order.

The first award was the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.

"Mr. Mirren, please." The female college student came over and led Bill, who was wearing a custom-made suit from a high-end suit shop in New York, to the backstage.

He was the first winner, and the white man whispered encouragement: "Come on, do what you should do, Mirren."

After Bill got up and left, the white man's body was taken over by Zheng Li, who thought to himself: It's my turn.

Wei Teng was sitting behind them, and he felt something strange after Zheng Li took over the white man's body.

However, the time he perceived this strange signal in the air was too short, so short that he thought it was an illusion.

When Witten tried to capture the anomaly in the space again, he could no longer find anything abnormal: "I hope this is just my illusion."

He thought so in his heart, but still prepared to send a message to the command center on the special mobile phone in his hand: "I feel something unusual, Merlin may appear."

As Witten tried to click on it, he found that he could not control his body.

As if his body no longer belonged to him, Witten realized that his feeling was not an illusion, "Merlin, he's coming!"

He wanted to shout, wanted to convey the message to the people around him, but he couldn't do anything.

I can't even make a pressing motion with my fingers, let alone turn my head.

Witten only heard a voice in his head: "Be quiet, sir."

Witten concentrated his mind and shouted in his head: "Merlin, we American just want to use this method to find you and communicate with you."

"The Blue Star civilization is a friendly one. We have a lot of room for cooperation. By combining magic and science, we can go far into the universe."

"No matter what your purpose is, cooperation is the best choice!"

"I hope you can stay calm. Everyone here is a celebrity. If you act recklessly, you will be an enemy of human society."

Witten saw that there was no response to his calls in his brain, and he knew that he had failed to convince Merlin.

Zheng Li felt that Witten's remarks were full of loopholes. First of all, magic is also science. It is science in itself and does not need to be combined with science.

The Mage Alliance's theoretical system in the field of scientific philosophy is far more complete and rigorous than that of Blue Star.

In addition, Magic Brain users from America and other countries have posted in the magic forum to express their sincerity in cooperation.

In Zheng Li's opinion, they are already cooperating, whether it is the way of distributing magic coins, or the bounty tasks and technology exchange information in the magic forum.

Cooperation is possible, but it must be within the rules set by him. Zheng Li feels that this form of cooperation is the best way to cooperate that suits his current strength.

Since Merlin did not reply to them in the magic forum, it means that he does not want to change the way of cooperation.

The American side was obviously dissatisfied with playing by Merlin's rules. They tried every means to force Merlin to show up, which was obviously not a friendly way of expressing themselves.

As for what Witten said, that the Blue Star civilization is a friendly civilization, Zheng Li has in-depth research on the history of Blue Star, and this statement seems to him to be nonsense.

"I can also contact Simmons by posting on the magic forum!" Witten hasn't given up yet.

The Magic Forum is the last resort. Wei Teng called out the interface of the Magic Forum in his mind.

"You have been banned for 24 hours."

If Wei Teng was Chinese, there would be only one word in his mind: fuck.

Witten gave up struggling. It turned out that it was not so easy to find the flaws in Merlin's actions. Now he just hoped that Merlin would not start a killing spree.

For him, Merlin means a completely new civilization and scientific system, and means that mankind has new choices for progress.

Human beings no longer have to climb the technology tree so hard. The combination of magic and science is a rare shortcut and a gift from God to the blue planet.

Wei Teng sincerely hoped that Merlin and Blue Star would not become enemies.

It’s a pity that they have too little say in this matter. The owners of the magic brains in America all said not to impersonate Merlin.

When American published a paper in Science under Millen's name, they expressed their objection.

Not to mention later, someone was found to play Mirren, and even the Nobel Prize was awarded to Mirren.

Their opinions were not taken seriously.

Even though Witten is well-educated and has rich life experience, his thinking is still biased. The American cannot represent the Blue Star civilization, they can only represent themselves.

Most of the guests present were unaware of this and were still immersed in the live music.

Witten just sat upright in his seat, and no one noticed anything unusual.

The host of the ceremony, Nobel Foundation Chairman Harding, walked to the center of the stage. He needed to give a speech before the award ceremony:

“This has been a difficult year for humanity, but also a year of hope.

It is hoped that the achievements of the Nobel Prize winners will arouse the interest and enterprising spirit of young scientists and inspire them to conduct research in the field of science.

We want science to be not only important but also interesting and meaningful.”

Then Hans, chairman of the Nobel Prize Committee for Physiology or Medicine, gave the award speech to Mirren.

Not only from the results, but also from the life experience fabricated for Mirren by the American side, or from the hype in the Western media in recent times, Mirren is the most famous winner among all the winners this year.

To be precise, he should be the most famous winner since the 21st century.

When Bill was sitting on the stage waiting to receive the award, he was the one the audience focused most of their attention on.

“Mirron’s discovery has opened up new horizons for science, and the existence of the soul has also opened up more possibilities for us to interpret life phenomena.

Direct observation of the soul will be one of the greatest discoveries of the 21st century. It will be the most important progress in human exploration of itself so far and embodies the brilliance of human rationality.

The impact of your discoveries on the future of science and on expanding the boundaries of human cognition is immeasurable.”

There was thunderous applause from the audience, and King Carl XVI Gustaf stood up to present the Nobel Prize to Mirren.

Bill was completely immersed in the atmosphere, as if he was really Mirren.

In his past, he had never won a Nobel Prize, let alone attended the award ceremony.

"Ok, the farce ends here."

Everyone present heard this voice in their ears, and it seemed as if the voice was coming from their minds.

Bill looked in surprise at the white man who stood up and walked forward from the audience.

The security personnel tried to drive them away, but saw the white man take out a wooden stick from the inside pocket of his suit, and then tapped the security personnel from a distance. The security personnel then stopped where they were, motionless.

The audience had been planning to applaud after the award speech, but now they took out their phones and prepared to take videos while saying, “Wow!”

Although no one knew what was going on, as celebrities, they still had basic judgment and were able to realize that something big was about to happen.

Zheng Li walked to the center of the stage and said directly:

“This farce should end now, I am the real publisher of the paper.

Mirren is a name someone gave me on purpose, you can call me by my real name: Merlin."

Then he tapped the air with his stick, and a classic scene appeared:
"Milern"

became.

"Merlin"

The light and shadow effects that appeared out of thin air in the air made the audience even more excited. Knowing the existence of magic.com, they realized that magic is real. "Oh! My God!"

“It turns out that Merlin really exists.”

"The magic in Harry Potter actually exists. Why didn't I receive the acceptance letter sent by owl?"

“Magic is so cool!”

"I wonder if it's too late for me to learn magic now?"

"Will Merlin do anything to us?"

"How is that possible? It wasn't us who stole his work, it was Merlin! And in our legend, Merlin is a good man, isn't he?"

The concert hall began to become noisy. No one thought about observing social etiquette. Everyone just wanted to vent their inner shock and excitement loudly.

“The existence of the soul is neither a hypocritical person who borrowed my name, nor is it me. It is the joint research result of countless magicians in the magic civilization.

I am just temporarily using Merlin's name to announce it to everyone."

There are many special cars outside the Stockholm Concert Hall that can synchronously transfer the images inside the concert hall.

Everyone inside looked at each other in bewilderment: "William is Merlin?"

The middle-aged white man was the person in charge of this operation. It turned out that the person in charge was Merlin, and his subordinates were all dumbfounded.

"Why didn't William tell us that he was Merlin?"

"So what do we need to do now?"

The B-side of this plan, William's deputy, quickly made a decision: "Cut off the broadcast signal and the live broadcast signal on the Internet.

Luckily we allowed for a five-minute delay.

Also, guard all exits and don't let him escape. It doesn't matter if he is Merlin or William."

"Also, our people need to squeeze forward to the first row, and send out tranquilizer bullets."

“It’s not too late to get everything back on track, not to mention that we will have new gains, unprecedented gains!”

Before he finished speaking, his subordinate called: "Roy, something seems to be wrong."

"It seems like all the crows in Sweden are gathering here."

Roy walked out of the car and looked towards the concert hall. A dense circle of crows was circling around the concert hall.

And crows kept flying around.

It was like a black ring floating above the Stockholm Concert Hall.

"This is another of Merlin's damn tricks."

Roy asked, "Can you drive away the crows?"

"Try to use all possible means to drive away the crows, but don't use weapons."

If the Stockholm Concert Hall was accidentally blown up with hot weapons, and it was filled with Western elites, not only would he not be able to bear the responsibility, but even his superiors in Washington would not be able to bear it.

The crows around are the "mobile base stations" modified by Zheng Li. The magic brain and the "mobile base stations" are connected together to achieve stronger casting capabilities.

In fact, it can also be called a spellcasting ability enhancer, which is connected into a large spellcasting network that covers the top of the Stockholm Music Pipe.

Now this is Zheng Li’s home court.

They are also sure that the Americans will not dare to use extreme means to expel them.

"As for the man next to Harding, he is just a thief."

"As a punishment, I will deprive you of the ability to experience positive emotions." Zheng Li pointed at Bill with a wooden stick.

The men in black in the audience raised their guns and pointed them at the white man. Since the bullets were anesthetic bullets, they opened fire directly.

"God bless me!" The stage was filled with this year's Nobel Prize winners. They originally had the mentality of watching the show, but now they were thinking that it was all over.

Zheng Li waved his hand casually, and all the anesthetic bullets seemed to be blocked in the air by a wall of air.

The audience below the stage has started to applaud, and everyone thinks that the trip was worthwhile and the magic is even cooler than they imagined.

Then he swept forward, and all the people in black fell to the ground.

"The annoying bug needs to be quiet for a while, the punishment continues."

The wooden stick is both Zheng Li's bad taste and his trick.

This means that the people of Blue Star need a staff to unleash enough power in their magic.

"No!" Before Bill's cry died down, Zheng Li had already finished the problem.

Bill tried to recall the interviews he had with people during this period. But the memories that used to make him laugh in his dreams no longer made him happy.

Bill muttered, "No!"

This was worse than the worst outcome he had imagined. Humans are emotional animals. If they lose their positive emotions, it would be more painful than death.

This is the ultimate form of depression. Even people with depression can have moments of happiness.

"Then there is the Nobel Prize officials. You clearly knew that the discovery of the existence of the soul was not made by Mirren, but you still insisted on awarding him the prize."

Zheng Li pointed the stick at Harding, and the chairman of the Nobel Prize Foundation raised his hands: "Sir, please forgive me, I really don't know anything."

Zheng Li said directly: "No one can lie in front of a magician."

"Do you know about magic and Merlin's existence?"

Harding seemed to be hypnotized: "I know."

Zheng Li continued to ask: "Do you know that Mirren is a fake? Do you know that the results that prove the existence of the soul were not discovered by him?"

Harding: “Yes.”

Zheng Li: "Then why did you do this?"

Harding: "Someone told me to do this."

Zheng Li: “Who?”

Harding: “***” A big shot appeared in his mouth.

The audience in the audience felt the ups and downs of the plot.

Zheng Lie dismissed the hypnosis, "Okay, you were forced to cooperate with others because of the pressure, so I'm just giving you a small punishment."

"You will lose positive emotions for three days, and all the members of the Nobel Foundation and Nobel Prize Committee who are involved in this matter will be punished in this way."

"Finally, there are the instigators, the people Harding just mentioned, and America."

"They have violated my rights in various ways, and they need to pay a sufficient price."

"I will publish all the encrypted information from the American government. You can log in to magic.com to view it in detail."

Zheng Li waved his hand and appeared in front of him:
"The magician also publishes information on the Internet?"

"Isn't it normal for wizards to use the Internet? The wizards in Harry Potter also used radios. Isn't it normal for wizards to keep up with the times and use the Internet?"

"The American side has already been exposed by Assange. I wonder if the information exposed by the magician is different."

"Can Merlin really get all the encrypted data? All and part are two completely different concepts."

"I wonder if they are still monitoring our leaders."

The audience was in an uproar, Merlin's remarks were beyond their imagination.

Zheng Li continued:
"Including all the crimes committed by the American government over the years."

"The direct planners of this action will receive the same punishment as Mirren."

"At the same time, magic.com also includes information on how to obtain magic and some basic knowledge of magic. Everyone is welcome to learn."

"Then I will launch a new global currency settlement system to replace SWIFT, which is also part of the punishment."

"Finally, I want to say, I'm sorry to interrupt your awards ceremony, you can continue now."

“This is a small token of apology.”

Zheng Li waved his hand, and a series of silver crows flew out from the wooden stick, walked around the bodies of each of the audience members, and then returned to his wooden stick.

"Oh! What is this?"

“I feel like I’m a lot more relaxed.”

"It's like waking up after a long day of sleep."

“I feel more awake than ever before.”

The effect of this spell is to dispel fatigue, but Zheng Li added some visual effects to make the spell look less boring.

Magic needs packaging, especially now it is being broadcast live around the world

Zheng Li said directly: "Goodbye!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the audience saw the white man collapse to the ground and lie motionless.
