"According to the news from the Inspection Department this morning, the city's deputy mayor, Liu Qi, accidentally slipped and fell at home.
She accidentally pulled the curtain, causing her neck to graze the curtain pulley. Her carotid artery ruptured and she bled to death.
The relevant departments have ruled out the possibility of homicide. This incident was purely an accident.
Ms. Liu Qi was our good mayor. Her death is a pity … Blah, blah, blah! "
A reporter reported Liu Qi's death with a sorrowful face.
However, several captains of the Inspection Department of Huizhou looked at each other while eating.
There was some doubt in their eyes, but it seemed that there was no way to decipher these doubts.
Wang Bin, the captain of the Inspection Department of Huizhou, was the most confused one.
"There was no mistake at all. It was so perfect that it was like a drama.
Everything was so coincidental. Even the surveillance video perfectly interpreted the situation at that time. "
"Boss, do you also feel that something is wrong?" asked one of the team members.
Wang Bin pondered for a while and slowly nodded.
"Yes, it seems to be a coincidence, but there are too many coincidences.
Liu Qi tripped over the remote control, grabbed the curtain, broke the curtain, twisted the pulley, and cut her artery.
My professional experience tells me that there shouldn't be so many coincidences in one thing.
When there are too many coincidences, it's inevitable. "
"Someone wants to kill Liu Qi?"
"I don't know. Have you checked if Liu Qi has any enemies?"
"Well, Liu Qi has a lot of enemies!"
A team member handed over a report with a lot of relevant information about Liu Qi as the deputy mayor.
There were three deputy mayors in a city, each in charge of a different position. Liu Qi's job was to supervise.
As the saying went, she was the one who played the bad cop.
It was easy to offend people with such a position.
It was inevitable that Liu Qi had a lot of enemies.
But it was inevitable that Liu Qi had so many enemies, which made their work more difficult.
"If Liu Qi has a lot of enemies, it'll be difficult. Everyone could be the murderer.
But we don't have enough evidence now. We don't even have a clue. "
"Indeed, if we continue to investigate like this, we'll be like a headless fly. There won't be any results."
The team members here were all Wang Bin's confidants, so he didn't have so many scruples when speaking here.
"It's actually not that difficult to investigate."
"Eh?"
"What do you mean, Captain?"
"Although Liu Qi has many enemies, there are very few people who have the ability to kill her like this.
To satisfy so many coincidental conditions, one would need to have a very meticulous plan or possess great strength.
There shouldn't be any problems if we follow this direction. "
"Yes."
After Wang Bin gave the order, he returned to the monitoring room and continued to watch the surveillance over and over again.
After looking at it many times, he still didn't find anything.
However, he noticed something strange. When Liu Qi fell, the AI butler's screen suddenly lit up.
Could this be considered a clue?
Wang Bin fell into deep thought.
He guessed that this matter was not simple. It might not be a coincidence.
But he didn't expect that things would be so complicated this time.
Moreover, Liu Qi was not the only one who had died.
For a long time to come, the leaders of Huizhou, political leaders, functional departments, and business people were all present.
Many people died by coincidence.
Just as Wang Bin had said, when there were enough coincidences, it would definitely not be a coincidence.
It was someone else's arrangement.
Liu Qi's death could be explained away, but after so many people died, no one dared to say that this was a coincidence.
However, Wang Bin didn't find anything from the investigation and evidence of this matter.
This dragged on for more than seven months!
…
April was a very beautiful season, even more so in the Empire.
The mountains in the western suburbs were full of wildflowers. The refreshing fragrance flowed into the nostrils of Lü Luo and the others.
Occasionally, the sound of birds chirping made the spring scenery even more moving.
Lü Luo supported Bambusa Chinensis while holding her stomach as they strolled among the wildflowers.
"Don't be like this, okay? It's not like I can't walk. "
Although Bambusa Chinensis was very happy, she was still not used to Lü Luo supporting her like this.
In particular, Hitomi Hakuzuki also came along this time, which made her feel even more awkward.
She could quarrel with Hitomi Hakuzuki, but she didn't want to be too ostentatious when it came to an outing.
Moreover, she already had a child now.
In this kind of situation, it could be said that she had won a lot in the inner circle.
She was already a person who had won a lot, so how could she block someone else's spring water to kill? That would be inappropriate and undesirable.
However, Lü Luo was different. This was his first child, so naturally, it was incomparably precious.
In fact, he treasured Bambusa Chinensis more. He also loved the child because of the house.
"What do you mean by don't be like this? It's normal for a husband to treat his wife better.
Moreover, after the child is born, he will be the crown prince and princess of the inner circle.
You can play around, but don't joke about the child, understand? "
Lü Luo stunned Bambusa Chinensis and could only lower her head in embarrassment.
"Lü Luo, you're getting more and more ridiculous. Crown prince and princess, do you want to be an emperor?"
Since it was a family outing, Lü Luo could naturally speak freely.
"Who knows, if you want to in the future, it's not impossible to fight for it."
For seven months, Lü Luo spent most of his time with his two wives and the child in Bambusa Chinensis's belly.
After confirming that the imperial family didn't continue to investigate the cause of Wu Handing's death, Lü Luo's life began to relax.
He handed over all the business matters to Sora.
Although this seemed to be a risky thing, Lü Luo didn't really care.
This was because the inner circle was still in his hands. He had the resources, channels, and absolute power.
After reaching Seventh Grade, especially after going to Meiqi's place, Lü Luo began to settle down in his heart.
Seventh Grade was already a high level, and the growth of his strength had slowed down. Of course, this was compared to before.
Compared to other Seventh Grade experts, his growth rate was still unparalleled.
The stable environment allowed Lü Luo's mentality to gradually stabilize, and his realm was also becoming more mature.
Moreover, he was also looking forward to the birth of his child, so he simply brought Bambusa Chinensis and the others back to the mountain base and lived a carefree life.
The day of Bambusa Chinensis's birth was approaching. Before that, Lü Luo decided to take advantage of the good weather to bring her out for an outing.
A Fifth Grade expert naturally didn't need to worry too much about her body when she was pregnant. She only needed to wait for the child to grow.
"There are too many things to do as an emperor. Why would anyone pursue such an illusory thing?"
Bambusa Chinensis's question stumped Lü Luo. In the past, he probably wouldn't have been able to answer this question.
However, the current him had some insights.
"It's probably power. Power is really addictive.
In the past, when you didn't have power, you couldn't feel it. But when you're really in a high position, you can order people around and others will bow down to you. This feeling is really good. "
"Is that so?"
Bambusa Chinensis nodded. She seemed to have held power before, but she didn't like that feeling at all.
She only liked to be alone, or with Lü Luo.
If a woman like Bambusa Chinensis was born in Lü Luo's era, she would most likely become an otaku.
Looking at the two of them being intimate, Hitomi Hakuzuki, who was sitting at the back, curled her lips.
The three of them were traveling together, but she could only light a fire and cook. She was normally involved in scientific research!
How could she be allowed to do such a crude thing?
Hitomi Hakuzuki rubbed her stomach and muttered softly, "He's so good at it.
"Why are you so disappointing when you're using Soul Imprint?"
This was because Lü Luo had been staying in the mountainside villa all this time, and Bambusa Chinensis was already pregnant.
Although the constitution of an extraordinary being was enough to prevent sexual intercourse from being affected by pregnancy, Bambusa Chinensis and Lü Luo still had some concerns.
Therefore, for the past seven months, Lü Luo had been working hard on Hitomi Hakuzuki.
Because of his max stamina, Lü Luo, the ox, would not get tired. On the other hand, Hitomi Hakuzuki, this delicate little piece of land, could not endure the ravaging of Lü Luo, the ox king.
However, after seven months without any protective measures, Hitomi Hakuzuki's stomach still showed no reaction at all.
Lü Luo and Hitomi Hakuzuki once thought that there was something wrong with them.
However, Bambusa Chinensis was pregnant first, which meant that there was nothing wrong with Lü Luo.
Therefore, Hitomi Hakuzuki was under a lot of pressure during this period. She also consulted many doctors and asked if she was infertile.
However, the results of the doctors' examinations were basically the same.
They said that Hitomi Hakuzuki's body was very healthy. Although she was not an extraordinary being, there should be no problem with giving birth.
After receiving multiple confirmations from the doctors, Hitomi Hakuzuki was slightly relieved and continued to work hard with Lü Luo to give birth.
However, until now, there were still no results.
Lü Luo also asked Zhang Zhangming, the veteran expert, about this.
Zhang Zhangming gave Lü Luo a reasonable explanation.
The difference in strength between Lü Luo and Hitomi Hakuzuki was too great.
Hitomi Hakuzuki's body was too weak. The difference in strength between the two was too great, so it was difficult for her to get pregnant.
This was because Hitomi Hakuzuki's body was very likely unable to bear Lü Luo's children.
This was why it was difficult for her to get pregnant.
Although Hitomi Hakuzuki was somewhat unwilling, there was nothing she could do.
She did not have the talent for cultivation. In terms of physical fitness, she would probably never be able to catch up to Lü Luo.
However, she still had a glimmer of hope.
This was because Zhang Zhangming had said that although it was difficult for ordinary people to get pregnant, it was not completely impossible.
Many powerful experts would have many women, and there would always be a portion of them who were ordinary people.
Among these ordinary women, a large portion of them had been pregnant before.
Most importantly, it all depended on Lü Luo himself. As long as Lü Luo worked hard and made babies, one day, Hitomi Hakuzuki would be able to get pregnant.
Hitomi Hakuzuki obediently prepared the meal with a depressed heart.
"Time to eat!"
"Coming!"
Lü Luo returned with Bambusa Chinensis. Seeing Hitomi Hakuzuki obediently prepare the meal, Lü Luo couldn't help but think to himself:
"Alright, ahoge is sensible now."
However, just as he and Bambusa Chinensis sat down, the ahoge suddenly said something.
"You're eating just like that? Aren't you afraid that I'll poison you? There are wild mushrooms in here. "
"Ugh … Hitomi Hakuzuki, do you have some misunderstanding about the Physique of a Fifth Grade Extraordinary?"
"Tch, so what if you're an Extraordinary?"
Bambusa Chinensis, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up.
"Extraordinary is indeed quite impressive, at least they can get pregnant."
As she spoke, she rubbed her bulging belly and ate the largest piece of meat in the pot.
Hitomi Hakuzuki saw this scene and was so angry that her scalp went numb. Moreover, there was nothing she could do.
She suddenly pulled Lü Luo.
"Let's go!"
"Why?"
"To make a baby."
"Now? Big brother, I haven't eaten yet! "Lü Luo was numb, really numb!
His pregnant first wife was eyeing him covetously, while his second wife was crying piteously for food, begging him to feed her.
Was the life of an adult so simple and unadorned?
This kind of competition was really troublesome!
Lü Luo sneaked a glance at Bambusa Chinensis. Although he was also tempted in the wilderness, he still had to ask for his first wife's opinion.
"Let's go after eating."
"Uh, okay!"
Since Bambusa Chinensis gave in, Hitomi Hakuzuki did not say anything else. Both sides took a step back and reached a perfect compromise.
The atmosphere became relaxed and cheerful again.
However, this happiness did not last long. Zhang Zhangming's call disrupted the rhythm.
"Hello."
"If you have something to say, say it." Lü Luo's attitude was naturally not very good after his vacation was interrupted.
However, Zhang Zhangming was not angry. After working together for a long time, he already understood Lü Luo's temper and personality.
Although this guy's personality was very bad, there was no problem with him being a person.
He was strong, capable, efficient, and reliable.
These were the best qualities of an ally.
Compared to these, having a bad personality was not a flaw at all.
"Is Little White pregnant?"
Lü Luo:???
"You called just to ask this?"
Lü Luo was a little speechless. However, after Zhang Zhangming remained silent for a while, he actually admitted it.
"I do care about this matter. Little White and you should have a child. This will stabilize her position."
"What are you talking about? No matter what happens, she will always be my woman."
"That's not necessarily true. People always change.
You will continue to become stronger, and Little White will gradually grow older. When she is old, a child will be the best bond and sustenance. "
Lü Luo was also silent this time. Although he was unwilling to admit it, Zhang Zhangming's words did make some sense.
Hitomi Hakuzuki was an ordinary person. This was not a problem in itself.
No matter what, they had to face this problem eventually.
"We are working hard again. Why do you, an old man, care so much about this kind of thing?"
"Old man, you bastard? I am only 50 years old! "Zhang Zhangming cursed, which was rare.
However, Lü Luo was a little surprised that Zhang Zhangming cared so much about his age!
"Okay, okay, tell me quickly. What happened today?"
"Something happened in Huizhou recently. I was temporarily recruited to investigate the case."
"Something happened in Huizhou? They can get you to help? This doesn't make sense, does it? "
"Because I used to work in Huizhou for a period of time, I still have a certain understanding of the situation there.
So, the higher-ups want me to go over and help. "
Zhang Zhangming's explanation obviously did not convince Lü Luo.
"This is not a reason to transfer you, right? Also, why are you telling me this?
Even if you are transferred, this matter has nothing to do with me, okay? "
Zhang Zhangming held back for a long time before finally speaking.
"There is a Bai family member in the Huizhou Research Institute."
Lü Luo also fell silent. The Bai family!
He had promised the presiding judge to contact the Bai family, and he had been preparing to contact the Bai family.
His original plan was to find an opportunity to enter the Imperial Capital through the resource sales channel.
Then, he would use the opportunity of meeting Wu Liji to contact the Bai family in private.
But now, it seemed that many things would not develop according to his expectations.
Zhang Zhangming told him that there was a Bai family member in Huizhou. Then, should he go and meet this person now?
The difficulty and risk of meeting a Bai family member alone would definitely be much lower than going to the Imperial Capital.
"Bambusa Chinensis is about to give birth. I can't leave during this time."
Lü Luo did not agree, but he did not refuse either.
Zhang Zhangming naturally understood the meaning of Lü Luo's words. Not now, but after Bambusa Chinensis gave birth, this matter could be done.
"Okay, I can go over first and wait for you over there."
"Eh? Wait, from what you said, you can't solve the matter in Huizhou by yourself? "
"That's right, I can't solve it. I know this very well."
Lü Luo was a little curious. Although the strength of the Empire's Tier 7 experts was not as strong as the Wasteland Alliance, their equipment was still very good.
What happened? Why was it so serious?
"What's the situation? Even the Tier 7 experts can't solve it? "
"Lü Luo, do you still remember the topic you talked about with Her Highness Wu Liji and me?"
"The topic we talked about with you guys? The three of us rarely talk together, right? "
Zhang Zhangming nodded in the air and took out a book, which was densely packed with records of many things.
Among them, the three mutant kings that Lü Luo mentioned were recorded in this book.
"Lü Luo, I remember what you said before. At first, I thought you were talking nonsense.
Until recently, one of the things that you said really happened. "
"Don't keep me in suspense. Tell me."
"The Wisdom Machine Crisis.
There's a Wisdom Machine Crisis in Huizhou. "
On the other side of the phone, Lü Luo fell silent. Even Bambusa Chinensis and Hitomi Hakuzuki, who were eating beside him, felt the chill on his body.
As a member of the Wasteland Alliance, Lü Luo knew very well the damage that the Wisdom Machine Crisis could do to society.
It was to the point that the Wasteland Alliance would not dare to develop any more intelligent devices for the next few hundred years.
The artificial intelligence control was only part of the danger.
Even more frightening was that after the baptism of dark energy, the artificial intelligence products would naturally mutate and become a new type of mutant, the Wisdom Machine Breed.
There was a huge difference between Wisdom Machine Breed and intelligent devices.
The former was only a tool to affect human society, while the latter was a killing machine that could destroy humanity.
"The Wisdom Machine Crisis, huh? That's really scary!"
"Lü Luo, how should we solve the Wisdom Machine Crisis?"
"Eliminate the use of Wisdom Machine Devices and stop producing them. That would solve the Wisdom Machine Crisis at its root.
For example, the Internet, television, and mobile phones should all be banned. "
Lü Luo said it very casually, but one could imagine how difficult it would be.
"That's impossible. Given the scale of Wisdom Machine Tools in the Empire, banning them will definitely cause a lot of anger among the people.
Ordinary people will not understand such behavior. In the end, there will definitely be chaos. "
Zhang Zhangming was right. The Empire was different from the Wasteland Alliance.
The Wasteland Alliance was a closed loop, but the Empire was not.
Both of them had very powerful military organizations.
However, the Empire was simply too big. The huge territory itself was an obstacle.
If the government did not follow orders, the entire Empire would suffer. That was why the Wisdom Machine Crisis was so scary.
"Chaos and whatnot has nothing to do with me, right?"
"Lü Luo, you know how to deal with the Wisdom Machine Crisis, don't you?"
"Zhang Zhangming, you think too highly of me. I don't know what caused the Wisdom Machine Crisis in Hui Province.
However, if even you Seventh Grades of the Inspection Department are helpless, I might not be able to do anything even if I went there. "
Lü Luo was telling the truth. He was not the one who solved the Wasteland Alliance's Wisdom Machine Crisis.
He did not have a very deep understanding of the Wisdom Machine Crisis.
"But no matter what, your understanding of the Smart Machinery Crisis is deeper than ours.
Lü Luo, even if you want to be a wild crane, you need to have an environment like the Empire.
Once a crisis occurs in a country, no one will be safe. "
Lü Luo knew what Zhang Zhangming was talking about. After some thought, he agreed.
"Very well. I will go there after the child is born."
"Very well. I will wait for you in Hui Province."
"Wait, what is that person from the Bai Family doing in Hui Province? What department? "
"At the Central Research Institute."
"Researcher?"
"No, he is being studied."
… …
After ending the conversation with Zhang Zhangming, Lü Luo's heart sank slightly.
Could it be Noah?
It was very likely. Nightmare had already told him about Noah's disappearance when he was inside the wall.
If he had also come outside the wall, then he would indeed have the ability to create a new Wisdom Machine Crisis in the Empire.
However, Lü Luo was a bit confused. Shouldn't Noah be pursuing a real life?
He had already experienced the Wiser Machinery Crisis once, so what was the point of doing it again?
The upper limit of the Empire's power was definitely different from the Wasteland Alliance.
Just the number of Eighth Grade human powerhouses alone numbered thirteen.
Even Noah himself could not take advantage of this power. Even apostle-level existences could be destroyed by the Empire's powerhouses.
Since he could not touch the upper limit, then what was the point of doing this?
While Lü Luo was thinking, Bambusa Chinensis suddenly said, "Let's go home.
"Hubby, let's go home. I'm not feeling well."
"Huh?"
While Lü Luo was surprised, Hitomi Hakuzuki had already yelled. She held onto Bambusa Chinensis and said nervously,
"Lü Luo, what are you yelling about? Daqi's water broke. Quick, take her home."
"Oh, okay!"
Lü Luo placed Bambusa Chinensis on the bed, then carried the bed and pulled Hitomi Hakuzuki back to the villa.
His body was stable enough that neither Bambusa Chinensis nor Hitomi Hakuzuki felt any fluctuations during the flight.
However, the three of them were still a bit nervous.
"Lü Luo, you're going to be a father!"
"Huh? Oh! "Lü Luo was still in a daze.
"Do you think it's a boy or a girl?"
"I don't know. It's the same for both genders."
"Aren't you happy?"
"Happy."
"If you're happy, why aren't you smiling?" Hitomi Hakuzuki looked even more excited than Bambusa Chinensis.
"Ha, ha, ha!" Lü Luo's face was stiff as he laughed dryly.
Bambusa Chinensis on the bed laughed.
Her body was very strong. Even if she gave birth, it would not be a problem. However, they still decided to return to the base. That was the safest place.
