Walk alone in the abyss

Chapter 531: Ino Sherman

"Your Majesty Daphne! I hope you know what you are doing."

The Great Elder wanted to make his voice a little harsher, but when the words came to his mouth, it weakened again.

Could Daphne not know what she was doing?

It's just that he didn't expect that the director of Ino's side would respond so quickly, and the purpose was so clear.

They have taken control of the elders' house.

"Go in," Daphne said with a smile, "I've gathered enough for the minimum number of elders to open the Legislative Court, and I'll wait for the Great Elder to preside over it."

"His Royal Highness Daphne," the Great Elder's Adam's Apple trembled slightly, "The situation will not develop to this point, there is no need for both sides to fight to the death."

"You are wrong, Great Elder."

Daphne whispered:

"Political struggle has no mercy, let's not waste time here, those people you were loyal to before, they have already driven their ships above our heads, and they may drop high-energy beams at any time.

"Please go in and do as I say."

The Great Elder shook his head: "Your Highness Daphne, I'm afraid I can't..."

Daphne had a pink laser pistol in her hand.

The Great Elder smiled wryly: "You will kill me."

Daphne stared at the elder, the muzzle of the gun pointed down, and she pulled the trigger. A beam of laser light pierced the sole of the elder's foot.

The Great Elder was stunned for three seconds, then quickly squatted down and howled miserably. Two young women had already moved forward quickly. One of them sprayed the quick gel on the wound of the Great Elder, and the other covered the Great Elder's mouth so hard that he couldn't shout. speak out.

The Great Elder looked up and glared, and all he saw were the white gloves on Daphne's hands, and that overly beautiful face;

And Daphne's indifferent eyes.

"Great Elder, I respect you and just call out Great Elder, you are also a member of our Sherman family.

"Go in and do as I say.

"Otherwise, your family members will receive the same treatment as you within three minutes."

The maid at the side brought a solid-state screen, on which six descendants of the Great Elder flashed.

Daphne didn't say much, and gestured to the side. The maids pushed the suspended wheelchair, placed the elder on top, and spread a blanket for the elder to cover his legs.

Afterwards, Daphne pushed the First Elder into the No. 2 door of the Legislative Court.

The Legislative Court is a Colosseum structure, with a liftable round platform in the center and a circle of stepped seats around it.

At this moment, 70% of the elders in the House of Elders who have legislative and deliberative powers are either sitting here as real people or using remote projections.

Many remote projection elders were sitting in unnatural postures. It was obvious that there was someone behind them.

Daphne pushed the Great Elder onto the round platform presiding over the meeting, lightly patted the Great Elder on the shoulder, and handed a document to the Great Elder.

This is a proposal.

The Great Elder endured the severe pain, with a few beads of cold sweat on his wrinkled forehead, and lifted a corner of the proposal with his trembling thumb.

The Great Elder looked up at Daphne who was standing beside her with her hands behind her back, and said in a trembling voice, "This..."

"The normal process is that you have to show this proposal to the people around you."

With a gentle smile on the corner of Daphne's mouth, she said with a smile, "Hurry up, you only have fifteen minutes."

The great elder's Adam's apple was trembling constantly.

...

At the same time, the empire developed the religion headquarters.

A group of guards in black windbreakers had completely taken over the place five minutes ago.

The archbishop promoted by the old emperor still maintains what she thinks is youthful at this moment - her skin is firm, her buttocks and breasts are plump, but she is flustered and tired now.

The panic was because of the intrusion of these guards, as well as the hostage and threat to them.

Tiredness is because... She really hasn't closed her eyes very much recently.

Since the Battle of Xie Luo, the defense system of the entire empire has been operating at a low efficiency.

The goddess they enshrined has been projecting a realistic projection in the center of the temple, with her eyes closed, her head bowed, and her hands and fingers interlaced in front of her body, maintaining a prayer posture.

Goddesses are all working, and the development of the gods will naturally be active up and down.

She, the archbishop, seems to be making up for the work she left behind. She presides over a grand sacrificial ceremony every three days, a sacrificial ceremony to celebrate victory every two days, and stays at the place closest to the goddess for twelve galaxy hours every day. , to detect the status of the goddess, and send a briefing to the palace.

Now so many guards rushed in suddenly, and surrounded their main hall. The guards outside the headquarters of the God of Development did not respond, and the palace did not give any news.

The archbishop's brain, which was unable to think due to lack of sleep, only had one thought left at the moment.

‘Are these people disrespecting the goddess? '

At the gate of the main hall, several guards in black windbreakers escorted a tall and thin old man and entered the archbishop's sight.

The old man has gray hair and short, simple and energetic hair. He is still wearing his white coat. Behind a pair of rimless glasses, his deep eyes are shining with wisdom.

This is not... Director Ino!

The archbishop hurried forward, but was stopped by the side guards raising their hands.

"Director Ino!"

The Archbishop hurriedly shouted, "What are you doing?"

Director Ino shook his head slightly, smiled at the archbishop, and walked quickly towards the archbishop, but his eyes fell on the realistic projection floating in front of the statue.

"Don't worry, Your Excellency the Archbishop."

Director Ino said:

"I'm here to communicate with the Empire's total defense system.

"If the historical information I have is not wrong, there is a clear stipulation in the agreement of the Empire's total defense system-she must listen to the prayers from the descendants of Levi here."

The archbishop hurriedly said: "Yes, Director Ino, you are right, it seems that there is this message."

Director Ino has already walked in front of the archbishop.

He put his hands in the outer pockets of his white coat, stared at the archbishop, and said softly:

"Do you know why our Majesty killed your sister and replaced the archbishop with you?

"Of course it's not because your skills are better, which can make him find a little excitement... But it is undeniable that there must be factors in this regard.

"It's because you don't have much talent. At that time, your sister had already become the existence that restricted the imperial power, because she held the most powerful and core secrets of the empire, but when you came to you, you gave up these and spent all your thoughts In order to please our Majesty, let some mechanisms of the empire directly fail.

"So, you have to bear a very small part of the responsibility for the empire to come to where it is today."

The archbishop's powdered face was a little pale.

"Oh, this, but this..."

"Your soul is mediocre and dirty," Director Ino said, "Of course, I have no malice towards you, and I don't mind if you continue to be the archbishop. Our Majesty is unwilling to participate in current political events, so you also You don't have to think about whether you can get asylum with His Majesty. Now, you have to listen to me."

"Director Ino, what happened?"

"coup."

"Government!"

"The coup against the Sherman family has nothing to do with His Majesty," Director Ino said with a smile, "Now, you can take out your scepter and proceed as I said to activate the Emperor Guard system to the point where it can communicate with the outside world." The state of the interaction."

"I, I won't..."

"It's very simple," Director Ino said, "According to what I said, pick up the scepter, go to the corner next to the projection of the goddess, and use the scepter to touch the bottom of the stone pillar... You are walking too slowly, please lift her up."

The four guards immediately lifted the archbishop and rushed towards the stone pillar.

Director Ino took out a yellowed booklet, looked at the information on it, and said four points in turn.

When the Archbishop held up her scepter and touched the four stone pillars with trembling motions, she found four raised hidden holes and inserted the scepter into them one by one to activate the patterns of different heights on the scepter.

After the four points were completed, Director Ino had already stood in front of the goddess statue, and the booklet in his hand was closed.

With the realistic projection of the Emperor Wei system, she slowly opened her eyes, a pair of deep eyes flickered with a faint light, and her voice sounded, gentle and somewhat ethereal.

"Levi's descendants?"

The archbishop was stunned.

She looked at the scepter in her hand, and then at the imperial guard system that seemed to come alive, the corners of her mouth twitching wildly.

Director Ino squinted and smiled.

All information is hidden in a library that only His Majesty the Emperor and every head of the Ascension Laboratory can enter.

And even if His Majesty the Emperor couldn't summon the Emperor Guard System, he still didn't want to study in it.

"Yes, I am a descendant of the great founding emperor Levi."

Director Ino seemed relieved, and immediately said quickly:

"I know that you may have some problems with your own situation now, but Emperor Wei System, I hope you can give me some responses. There is a storm brewing in this country. If this storm cannot be guided correctly, it will directly tear you apart. Split this ancient empire.

"I know, you might hate this country.

"You have guarded this country for tens of thousands of galactic years, which is not a time span worth mentioning for the universe, but for our thinking bodies, the thinking bodies with primitive humans as samples, it is indeed An incomparably long time.

"You have witnessed the tyrannical side of this country, the unreasonable side of this country, and the oppression of an unknown number of people by this country.

"I don't know how deeply the malice in human nature will hurt you, but I know that we need to make some changes.

"If possible, I hope you can communicate with me directly, the kind of smart, like a complete human being, like the one recorded in the royal history book, with noble sentiment and gentle personality, have a communication with me .

"After your majesty summoned you several times but couldn't get a response, I studied all the relevant information, and I feel that we have lost your trust and your approval.

"Now I only have about half an hour. I hope that within this half hour, I can reach an effective communication with you, otherwise a warship will rush down to take me away or destroy me directly.

"But I know that you are the only one who can save this country.

"I am willing to bear all the consequences, even after today, if I am convicted, receive the death penalty, lose my freedom for life, and lose everything, I am willing to bear it.

"The only thing I don't want to do is to watch this country and this collective collapse directly in a very short period of time. This collapse will cause a disorderly release of political energy, and it will make an unknown number of people become refugees, and how many inhumane things will happen. tragedy.

"You can feel that this is what the Sherman Empire deserves.

"But as a member of the Sherman family, part of this privileged collective, I had to fight for it.

"Of course, the more important thing is that I need to continue my experiment. It is best for the empire not to collapse before I complete the experiment, or before it is determined that I cannot complete the experiment.

"Ascension, this is the only meaning of my life."

Emperor Wei System Li's eyes trembled slightly.

She seemed to go back to that night tens of thousands of years ago when she saw the drunk man sitting slumped on the steps of the hall, crying with his head bowed.

Then, the man raised his head, looked at the simulated starry sky above his head in frustration, and murmured that sentence.

'Ascension, this is the only meaning of my life. '

Li stared at Ino, and once again uttered a gentle, agile, and somewhat emotional voice:

"you say."

Director Ino was stunned for a moment, and then Director Ino immediately took out a piece of paper with a draft written on it.

...

Emperor Star, the headquarters of the elders' house.

The Great Elder has already completed the proposal process, and the specific content of the bill is displayed on the big screen.

Aside from the extremely complicated attributions, annotations, and applicable conditions before and after, the content of this bill is not complicated.

The entire territory of the Sherman Empire prohibits any form of human thought bodies from uploading to the Internet;

The thought bodies that have been uploaded must be destroyed by the empire;

The Act is applicable to all thought entities subject to this clause within the thousand galactic years preceding the date of enactment.

Most of the elders were silent, thinking about something in silence.

Several elders have fully understood what form this coup will take.

Yes, the round table of the Sherman family controls all aspects of the entire Sherman Empire, but they are only controlling it secretly. The division of power in the empire's system has its own rules.

The House of Elders has legislative power.

As long as this bill is passed, these bills will take effect immediately, and the thinking body of the Sherman family will become an illegal existence.

They have a position to crusade.

Of course, in the eyes of these elders, this bill is also extremely naive.

How to implement it?

This is the most critical question. Even if this bill has the so-called legal effect, how should it be implemented?

Those guys have mastered almost all the resources.

"Impossible! We can't pass this law!"

"To go through the process, we must first publicize enough time, and then solicit opinions from the social level!"

call out!

Two laser beams flashed, and the two elders who shouted the loudest were lying on their seats, with blood holes emitting white smoke appearing on their foreheads.

Daphne said indifferently: "Please start voting directly, snipers will target elders who do not raise their hands."

The faces of the elders were pale.

High-end coupes often require the simplest recipes.

However, the problem is still a problem, how should they implement it?

If Daphne and the forces behind her fail, will they be liquidated? However, when they were liquidated, they still had room to move, but now, if they didn't raise their hands, they would blow their heads.

...

"You want to rely on this bill?"

"Yes," Director Ino's voice became a little more tense unconsciously, and his body leaned forward slightly, "Now that the legislation has been passed, although extraordinary measures have been used, this bill should have already come into effect in your place."

Li nodded slightly.

Director Ino took a deep breath, lowered his head and bowed deeply.

"Please implement this act immediately!

"The makers of the bill are the living members of the Sherman family, and we are their chosen successors, and we voluntarily renounce this way of mind uploading, this form of continuation of power.

"The biggest problem of the empire lies in the self-innovation cycle of the structure, which is doubled by this technology of uploading the thinking body!

"The empire shouldn't end in this way, the empire should still have a chance to be reformed and reborn!

"Please!"
