"I refuse. This is an invasion of the Awakened's right to privacy!" Bai Xiaowen refused. "The first article of the Awakened Convention states all the personal rights of the Awakened, including the right to privacy from others. Without evidence, the Awakened Association has no right to search."
The Awakened Association of Jinghai City was a loose organization established by the large and small guilds of Jinghai City under the official organization. It did not belong to any of the public security organs. In terms of political attributes, in the eyes of ordinary citizens, it was similar to the political harmony of another time and space.
The head of the association was basically the president of the large and small guilds of Jinghai City. Finally, the commander of the military division of Jinghai City was also the president.
Of course, the status and function of the Awakened Association were much more important than the political harmony of another time and space.
Once there was a monster invasion, the Awakened Association would set up a temporary command center and mobilize the power of the military and civilian Awakened Guilds to eliminate the monsters and save the base city.
Disputes between guilds would also be decided by the association. If the Awakened violated the law, the association would urge the guilds to deal with it. If there was a serious crime that endangered public safety, the association would directly punish it after a decision was made.
But no matter what, the Awakened Association was only a loose alliance and not a powerful centralized department. It needed to work under the framework of the Awakened Convention to be recognized by the large and small guilds and the Awakened.
Therefore, the association itself could not do anything that violated the Awakened Convention. This was also where Bai Xiaowen's confidence came from.
"You are indeed the top scholar of the college entrance examination."
Seeing that Bai Xiaowen was not scared, Xiang Tian nodded and smiled. "Anyway, this was not my idea. Let Old Fu deal with it. You sit for a while, I will go to a meeting. "
"Hey, you are leaving?"
Seeing Xiang Tian turn around and leave, Bai Xiaowen was a little surprised.
Actually, Bai Xiaowen was not that sensitive to the so-called inspection.
The high-level demon was a creature that surpassed the level of a Level-10 Awakened. The only thing that could attract the demon's interest was the mysterious eyeball in Bai Xiaowen's left eye. The mysterious eyeball's priority was so high that even the spiritual world's rules could not distinguish it, causing chaos. Bai Xiaowen did not think that there was any psionic device on Earth that would be able to detect it.
As for the Black Soul Stone, it was a piece of equipment exclusive to the Hero class. Not to mention that Soul Binding could not steal it, even if it was stolen, no one else would be able to use it … This was the meaning of the word exclusive. It was good to keep it a secret, but even if it was exposed, it wouldn't have much of an impact.
As for the other psionic items, including the A-grade items in the storage space, they were nothing in the eyes of high-level Awakened ones or even higher level Evolvers.
Moreover, Bai Xiaowen had to prove his innocence. If the results of the investigation were not clear, the news that Bai Xiaowen had "treasures coveted by high-level demons" would be confirmed in the minds of many powerhouses.
It was not a good thing to be remembered by a group of experts, like the three who had cut off the Balrog's arm. Bai Xiaowen was still very weak and needed to develop steadily.
Bai Xiaowen's initial refusal to be inspected was more of an act than anything else. He was just trying to bargain and get some terms in exchange. He didn't expect Xiang Tian to not play by the rules and just leave.
However, Xiang Tian's last words reminded Bai Xiaowen.
"Now it seems that Xiang Tian is not the mastermind. The one who wants to use this as a pretext to make a fuss is probably that Old Fu he mentioned. It's a pity that the old man with the surname Fu miscalculated. Now that I have a golden body, I'm not afraid of you! Before I clear my name, even if you let me go, I won't leave! "
Two men with big caps poked their heads out of the courtyard outside the corridor.
Bai Xiaowen moved a chair and sat in front of the door of the interrogation room. He ignored them and directly entered a state of meditation to practice his meditation.
On the other side, in a small conference room of the Awakened Association in Jinghai City, a group of guild bosses were arguing.
"Bai Xiaowen is a hero who killed a leader who invaded the city center! Without him, the citizens of the Crimson Fire Square Shelter would have faced a huge crisis! Is this how you treat the hero of the base city? "Li Beihai slammed the table and roared.
Opposite Li Beihai, a thin middle-aged man with a mustache stood up and argued with Li Beihai, "Hero or scourge? We don't even know if he was the one who caused this attack! How many years has it been since Jinghai City encountered such a situation? The space rift opened directly to the city center! "
"Bullsh * t, Wu Chonglian, you're obviously jealous that our Super Gods have a hero class, so you're trying to suppress him!"
"Pfft, you've picked up a piece of trash as a treasure. What's the use of a summoning hero class? It's far worse than the elites of our Guild of Excellence …"
"That's enough, we're all guild leaders. Don't be a shrew," said a white-haired old man in a military uniform sitting on the main seat in the north. "Old Fu, you're the one who brought this up. You should express your opinion."
On the right of the old man in the military uniform sat Xiang Tian, and on the left sat a slightly plump old man in his fifties. Obviously, this was Old Fu.
"Bai Xiaowen is a major suspect of endangering the safety of the base city. In order to protect the lives and property of the people of the base city from threats, Bai Xiaowen must be subject to long-term supervision and comprehensive investigation. His attributes, equipment, skills, storage space, and other personal information must be disclosed. He must also cooperate with a physical examination …" Fu Yiping said with a straight face, "Of course, if he's willing to voluntarily hand over the dangerous item that attracted the high-ranking demon, not only will he not be subject to supervision, but he will also be praised."
Wu Chonglian, the president of the Guild of Excellence, said quickly, "The Guild of Excellence agrees with President Fu's wise decision."
Li Beihai's face was a little pale. He stared at Fu Yiping and said, "President Fu, do you have any evidence that Bai Xiaowen endangers the safety of the base city?"
Fu Yiping said, "No, but all the signs indicate that he's very suspicious."
"In other words, without any evidence, the officials are going to search an awakened and restrict his freedom?" Li Beihai sneered. "Why don't we have a vote? Let's see how many awakened ones support this decision, including the lowest-ranking awakened ones. "
Xiang Tian coughed and expressed his opinion. "This kind of precedent is not easy to set. It will make all the awakened ones feel insecure … If we can't find anything, it will have a great negative impact on the Association. When that happens … who will bear the responsibility? "
Wu Chonglian, the president of the Guild of Excellence, shut his mouth at the mention of bearing the responsibility.
Fu Yiping frowned and said, "I'm also considering the safety of the people of the base city. We can't be overcautious just because we're afraid of bearing the responsibility."
