You've become the warden, and you're telling me I'm an undercover agent?

Chapter 356 The Emperor: Am I a villain?

"Another garrison commander?" Huba frowned.

"Again?" The two-faced turtle was confused.

Currently, the Emperor's head and the two-faced turtle are under the influence of Chi Ping's [Oracle], but these three garrison commanders are not.

When the garrison commander saw the two-faced turtle and the others, there was nothing strange except the talking head.

But the three garrison commanders were still monsters in the eyes of the two-faced turtle, so Chi Ping cast another layer of [Oracle] on the garrison commanders to restore their appearance.

For a moment, both the two-faced turtle and the emperor were stunned. Finally, the emperor complained:
"MD, you picked the ugliest one."

The third garrison commander did look ordinary, but he seemed to be quite courageous.

Twisting his fat body, he greeted Chi Ping and the others, "Thank you so much, you saved my life."

"What do you call it?"

It wasn't a big deal to have a group of people gathered around, so Chi Ping asked everyone to sit down.

"Wang Bao, Chief of the garrison of East A103 Fortress." The third fat chief of the garrison replied.

"How did it end up like this?"

"The powerful people in the fortress and the merchants joined forces. I couldn't defeat them, so it turned out like this."

This was the same experience as the first garrison commander, Pai Gu, whom Chi Ping had rescued. So, he simply turned his attention to the second garrison commander, rescued by Huo Ba, and asked:

"How did you end up like this?"

"The fortress's top brass have joined forces with merchants to rebel." said the second garrison commander.

Ikehira's eyebrows were twisted into knots.

This is not normal.

First, all three of them are considered victims, good people, or idealists. However, in the post-disaster environment, idealists or good people generally don't live long.

Second, their experiences are too similar.

They were all betrayed by their subordinates and then lost the fortress.

Finally, all three had super-energy suppressors around their necks. This was what most intrigued Chi Ping. Since they had made these people wear suppressors, why didn't they just kill them with a single blow?

Is there someone behind this?
Chi Ping asked some other questions, but the more he asked, the weirder his expression became.

These three garrison commanders not only had similar experiences, but even more terrifyingly, they were too positive in the face of the catastrophe!

There was a plan to distribute all the food stored in the fortress to the lower classes;
There is hope to bring refugees from the outside world into the fortress and overcome the disaster together;

Some people advocate sacrificing the current civilization, preserving a large amount of materials, helping the next civilization to rise quickly after the catastrophe, and making a warning of the catastrophe.

These people are really, so righteous that they are evil, pure saints.

No wonder the people below want to unite and get rid of them.

Now the doubt becomes very obvious. What caused them to become saints?

Chi Ping guessed that at some point in time, their personalities suddenly changed and they became saints. Because if they were saints from the beginning, then in the great disaster environment, it would be extremely difficult for them to become the captain of the garrison.

Even though they all have B-level strength.

There was nothing more to be learned from further questioning, so I just let them go.

B-class ability users can survive a catastrophe, even if they are alone. Of course, if they continue to be saintly, it will probably be more difficult.

"Well, thank you for your hard work." Chi Ping clapped his hands and said to the three garrison commanders, "Next, do whatever you want to do."

At this point, Chi Ping paused. He took out a piece of meat and a bottle of water and handed them to the garrison commander he had rescued, "Let's find a place and make some broth for you guys. Eat some and warm yourself up."

The main reason was that seeing that the garrison commander had grown so thin, I was afraid that he would starve to death if he couldn't get anything to eat.

After the catastrophe, the first B-class ability user to die of starvation was also quite abstract.

No matter how much help Chi Ping could provide, it would be useless because the root of all the problems still lay in the catastrophe.

The three of them thanked him and immediately went downstairs with their things. Huoba had already used his spatial ability to remove the suppressors on them.

After the three of them left, Chi Ping explained the matter to the Two-Faced Turtle and the Emperor, and asked:

"What do you think, Your Majesty?"

Chi Ping was quite respectful to the emperor, mainly because the supplies for this trip were all provided by his tribe. After all, it was not easy to take from him.

Another thing is that the emperor had been in power for hundreds of years. He was knowledgeable and experienced, so if you had any questions, it would be better to ask him directly rather than asking others present.

The emperor pondered for a moment and said, "This phenomenon has probably happened many times over here.

“After all, we ran into three local governors in one night.

"There are so many more that we haven't encountered, or that haven't been brought down by our subordinates yet. I wonder how many more there are."

Hearing this, Chi Ping nodded.

The Emperor continued, "Also, changing the Chief of Defense's personality into this is undoubtedly digging at the very foundations of the World United Government, causing them to disintegrate from the bottom up.

"This behavior is aimed at the entire World United Government, not just for the resources in a certain fortress.

"So, the one who has the ability to do this is definitely an organization, not a powerful individual."

Chi Ping nodded again: "Continue."

"So, let's summarize it." The emperor said:

"First, the other party is an organization or group, and their opponent is the entire World United Government. Therefore, they must have a strong foundation and a large scale.

"Secondly, they possess some ability to alter individual wills, which may be more rule-based. Finally, they don't care about the survival of the civilization on the United World Government side. Because the garrison commander has become a saint, the fortress will be breached and plundered, and the destruction of civilization is only a matter of time."

"And, the most crucial point is, whoever benefits the most from doing this is the person behind the scenes!"

After the emperor finished his last sentence, Chi Ping translated it again to Huoba and Xiaoyun, and then everyone fell silent.

There was a subtle atmosphere in the air, and then everyone turned their eyes to the emperor.

Even the two-faced turtle looked at the emperor's head a little embarrassedly.

There was silence for a second or two.

The emperor couldn't help but speak: "What are you doing?"

"Your Majesty, who do you think is behind this?" Chi Ping asked seriously.

"How should I know? It can't be me, right?" The emperor said this and saw Chi Ping nodding. After the latter translated it, Huo Ba and Xiao Yun also nodded repeatedly.

"Eh—no, do you really think it was me?" The emperor wanted to argue, but the two-faced turtle stood in front of him and said:

"I didn't expect His Majesty's plan to be so far-reaching?"

Emperor: ???

Chi Ping stood up and said, "Your Majesty, let me explain it to you and see if I am right.

"First of all, you said the group behind the scenes is quite large and has a strong foundation. Is the tribe small? Is the tribe's foundation very weak?"

"Hmm?" The emperor frowned.

"Secondly—" Chi Ping continued, "You said the other party has the ability to change a person's will. If I remember correctly, you can manifest any weapon of war, right? Does this kind of ability also count as a spiritual weapon?"

"Hiss——" The emperor took a breath. It seems that there is no problem with this?

"Finally, you said the organization doesn't care about the survival of the United World Government civilization. Doesn't the tribe also care?"

"Huh?" The emperor gradually felt that something was wrong.

"The most crucial point is whoever benefits the most is the organization behind the scenes. With the decline of the World United Government, aren't the tribes the ones who benefit the most?"

"Yes!" the emperor exclaimed. If he had a body, he would have slapped his thigh hard.

But then I thought: Bullshit!
"Such a major matter must have my permission," the emperor said, "but I haven't heard of it at all—"

Having said this, he suddenly paused.

Because the replacement of the first apostle was not done with his permission.

For a second or two, the emperor's brain seemed to have frozen.

He even suspected that Yan Gui was faking his death and had set up a big scheme before his death!

No wonder!
The Flame Ghost doesn't have such ability, nor does he have such brains!
"It's not a tribe!" The emperor denied helplessly. "However, if the person behind the scenes can join the tribe, he will not lose his position as the first apostle."

Chi Ping rolled his eyes and said, "The least valuable person on your side is the First Apostle."

But I still didn't say it.

At this time, it was Hoba who spoke: "I know someone who has the ability to change other people's wills."

Chi Ping thought for a moment: "Yin Tianzheng?"

Hoba nodded.

What he said was not wrong. Yin Tianzheng's S-level ability "Mind Command" could indeed make others act according to his will.

But the problem is that Yin Tianzheng himself is the supreme leader, so there is no need for him to rebel against himself.

Doing so will do more harm than good.

Chi Ping could believe it to some extent when he heard that Pulao and Schimmel, the chief of the Mechanicus Church, were causing trouble.

Unable to figure it out, Chi Ping simply stopped thinking about it. Everyone washed up and prepared to go to bed. However, when the two-faced turtle used a toothbrush to brush the emperor's head, the scene was a little strange.

Just when Chi Ping was about to go to bed, he heard the sound of footsteps coming from downstairs.

Are you still letting people sleep?

Chi Ping was a little annoyed and left the room. The door of the room in the abandoned building could not be closed. As soon as Chi Ping left his small room, he saw three people:
It was the three garrison commanders who had returned.

"Why are you back?" Chi Ping asked, "Is there not enough food?"

The three garrison commanders shook their heads repeatedly. Garrison Commander Pai Gu was gasping for breath and looked like he would die at any moment. Finally, the fattest one, Wang Bao, spoke up:

"You are all very powerful. I would like to ask you to defend the East A111 Fortress and rescue the people inside."

East A111 Fortress is the fortress near the abandoned city. Because Chi Ping and his companions did not want to attract attention and did not have identity cards, they chose to spend the night in the abandoned city.

"Someone wants to attack the fortress?" Chi Ping asked in surprise.

Wang Bao nodded, and Chi Ping immediately leaned into the room where the emperor was and said loudly:

"And you still say it's not your tribe causing trouble! Now they've even started attacking the city!"

The emperor was carried out by the two-faced turtle while cursing: "You'd better explain it to me clearly."

After careful questioning, I learned that it wasn't the tribes attacking the fortress, but refugees, a large number of refugees!

The reason why the three garrison commanders were tied up here was because the refugees gathered here. They wanted the three garrison commanders to take the lead and knock on the gate of Fort A111, but they refused to agree.

"They agreed to begin their attack tomorrow morning," Wang Bao said. "We've been thinking about this for a long time, but we really have no other choice but to come to you."
