Eternal Night

Chapter 288 A Clear Smile
Everyone present was surprised. They looked at Wu Xianxiao with expressions of complete confusion. After a few seconds, everyone's faces darkened.

This was because a certain kind of pressure from Wu Xianxiao was increasing. The closer one got to his position, which was the entrance, the greater the pressure became. It was now so great that one could not even get one step closer.

After saying this, Wu Xianxiao did not move or speak, but just looked at everyone present in silence.

The rest of the people stood there in silence and waited for a few seconds. Then four guards from both sides ran towards the window. However, before they got close to the window, the four of them foamed at the mouth and fainted on the ground.

Everyone was shocked. They immediately looked at Wu Xianxiao, their faces and eyes full of disbelief.

Actually... you dare to use force in this sacred presidential proxy meeting! ?

What are you thinking? This is cutting yourself off from the entire political structure of human government!

Apart from anything else, Wu Xianxiao's action has almost cut himself off from the human presidency!
Wu Xianxiao smiled cheerfully and said, "I can understand your thoughts and intentions, but the key question is... who do you think you are? Why should I act according to your thoughts and intentions?"

Wu Xianxiao spread his hands and said, "Look, I just arrived at this place of salvation. As the seventh presidential candidate, what happened to me the moment I arrived? I was assassinated in the street, and it was a long-range high-tech weapon that required time, personnel, and location to set up. Does this count as breaking the rules?"

Except for Eric Thompson who had a smile on his face, and Bai Wang who had a blank expression, the other four people and the adjutants behind them all had extremely ugly expressions.

Zuo Zongpeng forced a laugh and said, "This is exactly the problem I was talking about. The remnants of the company and the People's Revolutionary League are eroding the Land of Redemption. There are countless spies. We need to retain our strength to protect this core of humanity..."

Wu Xianxiao also smiled and looked at Zuo Zongpeng and said, "Then are you from the inner room?"

Zuo Zongpeng was choked and almost couldn't catch his breath. His smile slowly disappeared and his face began to become gloomy.

Xu Ruonan immediately stepped out with a smile to smooth things over, "We are presidential candidates and have a chance to become president. What can we gain by joining the remnants of the company and the People's Revolutionary League? Aren't you afraid of being used as their puppets or even turned into their tools? What Mr. Wu said is really a bit..."

Wu Xianxiao also looked at Xu Ruonan and said, "You may also be from the inner room."

At this point, Wu Xianxiao smiled cheerfully and looked at everyone and said, "You all could be the inner chamber."

Eric Thompson was still laughing, and Wu Xianxiao looked at him and said, "Yes, you could be one too."

Eric Tombson was choked and couldn't laugh anymore.

Wu Xianxiao reached out and knocked on the round table in front of him and said, "To put it bluntly, you are the first ones who do not abide by the unspoken rules. Does that mean assassinating a presidential candidate is not an unspoken rule? From what I know, no presidential candidate has ever been assassinated, right? But I was assassinated, so this unspoken rule has long been broken, right?"

"In fact, if you think about it carefully, the reason is very simple. I am different from you. I am not from the Eleven Families, nor am I a celebrity in the human government. I have no backing, no background, and I have no interest in you. Therefore, I am an 'outsider'. At the same time, I must be Chu Minghao's confidant, right?"

The presidential candidates present all had gloomy faces and were silent. At this time, Samara von Gondorra asked, "You said we were spies. Do you have any evidence?"

Wu Xianxiao was stunned for a moment, then he burst into laughter and said, "No, buddy, are you serious?"

Samara von Gondorla's expression was no longer gloomy, but was actually filled with murderous intent.

After Wu Xianxiao laughed, he really said, "Don't tell me, don't tell me. When I was attacked, all six of you were there, and you could see me with your naked eyes. So I'm very curious, how did you run to the scene within the few tens of seconds when I was attacked? Did you count the seconds to calculate the time? Or did you know in advance that I was going to be attacked?"

After saying this, Wu Xianxiao didn't care about the reactions of the people present. He said in a cold voice: "Go on, I'm listening. My request is very simple. Either you come up with real reasons to convince me, or you agree to my proposal. Of course, you can also choose a third way."

Wu Xianxiao looked expressionlessly at everyone present, including the six presidential candidates and their lieutenants. He looked at each one carefully before saying, "I treat you as human beings, so I am treating you as human beings now. You can also try not to treat yourselves as human beings, and then I will naturally treat you as monsters."

Eric Thompson and Bai Wang remained silent, but the other four presidential candidates kept walking towards Wu Xianxiao.

At least at this moment, they could not pay attention to any threats from Wu Xianxiao, unless...

As they walked, they all stopped moving. The four presidential candidates' expressions remained unchanged, with large beads of sweat rolling down their foreheads. At this moment, they were about two meters away from Wu Xianxiao and about five meters away from the conference room door behind Wu Xianxiao.

But this short distance of five meters seemed as far away as the ends of the earth in their eyes. At this moment, all four presidential candidates had a very clear feeling, that is, if they took one more step forward, they would definitely die, definitely die, definitely die...

But after all, he is stubborn, and he is really stubborn.

An adjutant, a young man, stood up behind Samara von Gondorla. He shouted, "I don't believe he really dares to do it. This is obviously the extraordinary power of the spiritual side! I just don't believe it!" As he finished speaking, a layer of metal-like liquid emerged from his body, wrapping his entire body. In an instant, he seemed to have turned into a metal body. With this metal body, he actually resisted the threat of the domineering aura and walked towards the gate step by step. When he passed Wu Xianxiao, he turned back and said provocatively, "What's the matter? I've already come here, you dare..."

"Snapped!"

No one saw the fist, no one saw the attack, and in the next moment, the metal man was shattered into pieces of flesh, the kind that couldn't even stick together. Each piece of flesh and blood was smaller than a fingernail, and scattered all over half of the conference room. The four presidential candidates closest to Wu Xianxiao were covered in blood, but they didn't even dare to wipe it off.

At this moment, in their eyes, it was as if there was a big knife against their throats. Not to mention any movement, even blinking an eyelid could result in immediate death.

It was not until they all took several steps back that everyone took deep breaths. Then, while taking deep breaths, they all subconsciously moved away from Wu Xianxiao. However, they did not dare to move away from the round table, because as long as they moved away from the round table, they would feel the terrible pressure even if they went to the wall or the window.

It was not until they sat down again that they could truly breathe freely.

When they were sitting in these seats, they did not feel any pressure at all. Just by sitting in the seats, the feeling of threat as if they were going to be killed immediately also completely faded away.

It was not until this moment that everyone present suddenly recalled that the super-electromagnetic railgun that was powerful enough to smash a small meteorite actually had its warhead crushed into a discus when it hit Wu Xianxiao. They could not even comprehend that kind of physical strength.

Why... knowing that Wu Xianxiao was already so powerful that he was beyond their comprehension, why did they still dare to participate in this meeting? They even subconsciously thought that Wu Xianxiao was weak?

On a political level?
In terms of power level?
Is it fame? Support? Subordinates? Or political manipulation? ?

Do not!
They are not idiots. Those who can sit here, even the youngest Li Tiansuo, who are from eleven families, all understand that the foundation of all this so-called "power" is determined by the structure of violence!
What determines the stability of a society and the level of a civilization, no matter how fancy your words are, no matter how brilliantly you write about civilization, its foundation must be and can only be built on the stability of violent institutions!

Why was Wei Lan's final destination the final producer? Does it mean that human civilization was not developed when Wei Lan was in power?
Why can the Eleven Families and the Thirteen Singularity Companies lead human civilization? Is it just because the numbers sound good?
Why could Chu Minghao become the de facto leader of the unified human government after the Fourth World War, and could naturally become the president of mankind at this time? Is it because he is handsome?
Why did the People's Revolutionary League survive, and why is there still a possibility for the company to be revived? Is it because people miss them?

Do not!
All this is because they have power!

Similarly, now Wu Xianxiao is directly facing their general. Even if there is no entrance to the Zero O'Clock Three Dream World, even if Wu Xianxiao has not been attacked, even if Wu Xianxiao is not a presidential candidate, as long as he demonstrates his power and this power really exists, then everyone must listen carefully to any of his suggestions.

Unless Wu Xianxiao directly wants people to die, the feasibility of his suggestion must be considered, even if their interests are harmed. No, that cannot be said. Between two evils, choose the lesser of two evils. As long as Wu Xianxiao does not directly ask them to die, then any behavior of considering Wu Xianxiao's suggestion and agreeing with his suggestion is pure profit in itself.

A life saved!

Just like Chu Minghao's existence, the reason why he is willing to play within the rules of the game is simply because these rules of the game will not oppose almost all suggestions he puts forward, and Chu Minghao happens to be a good person, so this set of rules of the game can be implemented.

It is humans and the unified human government who need Chu Minghao, not the other way around!

All six presidential candidates understood this, but what they didn't understand was Wu Xianxiao's strength and Wu Xianxiao's code of conduct.

But now they understand.

But they were still unwilling to give in. Zuo Zongpeng placed his hand on the round table, and a huge black sword appeared in front of him.

Samara von Gondorla also placed his hands on the round table, and a faint mist permeated his whole body.

Li Tiansuo placed the trapezoid on the round table, and the trapezoid was slowly opening.

A giant spirit with a breath of fire suddenly appeared behind Xu Ruonan. Although only the upper body was shown, the giant was six meters tall and almost reached the ceiling.

then……

Wu Xianxiao took a look at the giant spirit, and the giant spirit immediately began to waile and began to dissipate. It even reached into its chest, and a ruby ​​rolled down in front of Wu Xianxiao.

Wu Xianxiao blinked his eyes and picked up the ruby ​​curiously. Then when he looked again, the big sword in front of Zuo Zongpeng disappeared, the mist on Samara von Gondorla disappeared, and Li Tiansuo held the trapezoidal octahedron tightly and pressed it back to its original shape.

Then the four of them laughed at the same time.

The smile is extremely sincere and the eyes are absolutely clear.
