Ouyang Chen did not sit at the very front of the ring-shaped conference table. Instead, he sat in the second row with Her Majesty Empress Wu. He sat upright, watching the live broadcast very seriously. His right hand tapped soundlessly on the virtual desktop. The changes in length were quite rhythmic, giving people the feeling that he was taking notes or something.
His appearance was in stark contrast to Her Majesty Empress Wu, who was sitting leisurely next to him. Her Majesty Empress Wu was fiddling with the virtual scroll in her hand.
Ouyang Chen did not respond immediately when President Abner called out to him. Two seconds passed before his fingertips stopped tapping. He turned his face away from the central projection. It was unknown whether or not it was a virtual effect, but the frameless lenses clipped to the bridge of his nose seemed to be plated with a layer of light. The lenses covered most of his pupils, and his expression was stern and serious.
He still did not open his mouth. It seemed that he was choosing his words carefully.
Then...
"Earlier, you wanted to join in on the fun and get a share of his grandfather's property. Now you're asking for an exchange. Are you preparing to take the opportunity to call each other brothers and get greedy?"
...
A moment of silence appeared in the ring-shaped conference room. Then there were coughs, muffled laughter, and of course, loud laughter. At the level of participants, the vast majority of people already had the tendency to do as they pleased. Not everyone would take President Abner's face into consideration.
Of course, everyone's gazes were cast in Ouyang Chen's direction. However, everyone could see very clearly that Ouyang Chen did not open his mouth. The voice came from beside him, behind Her Majesty Empress Wu.
The audience was already there.
"Wow!"
Tian Bang let out a small gasp of surprise. He could clearly see that the person who had spoken against Abner just now was clearly a young girl. She wore a brimmed hat and a black jacket. She looked like she could just go out and do a street dance and play around.
She really was a young girl. Tian Bang recognized her. She was Zhang Yingying of the Xia City branch. She was a diehard follower of Her Majesty Empress Wu. She was also someone in Luo Nan's circle of friends.
Speaking of which, this young girl didn't even seem to be an Architect. Why did she come to listen? It was fine for her to come with Her Majesty Empress Wu for a meeting, but her words were really out of line!
Tian Bang grinned. Don't be fooled by Abner's soft voice. He wasn't able to become the President of the ability user Society by relying on his ability to eavesdrop.
Zhang Yingying also seemed to know that she was in trouble. She pulled down the brim of her hat, shrank her neck, and tried to hide her body behind Her Majesty Empress Wu. No matter what, she would not make eye contact with President Abner.
The smile on President Abner's face didn't change at all. He didn't berate the youngster for being rude. He even stopped the furious Marlon and looked at Her Majesty Empress Wu.
The expression on the latter's face was indifferent. He didn't react much to the gazes from President Abner and the other directions. Using the virtual book in her hand, she gently combed the hair by her cheek and said softly,
"Don't doubt it. It's my idea."
"Martial Monarch …"
"I've just become a Transcendent, so I have to make things difficult for him. Those words were reasonable, but they were slightly vulgar. I was afraid that it would damage my bearing, so I let my children speak. Please don't blame me. "
The atmosphere in the conference room was obviously breaking down.
Not just the others, even Ghost Eye, who was standing behind President Abner and chatting with Li Baizhou, was laughing very loudly.
In the end, Abner had a deep understanding of the Great Wall Mansion. Even at this time, he was still managing his expression perfectly. The smile lines on his face even deepened a bit, so much so that the yellow beard on the side of his cheeks shook slightly.
"I understand now. It's because I'm standing up for Toyama's high seas auction …. Commercial activities are special in nature. Moreover, times have changed. Everyone holds this meeting for the sake of negotiation and exchange. It's just that some youngsters in the past lacked experience and lacked communication channels. They didn't really know how to negotiate on stage. They felt wronged when they were bullied in a fight, so it was understandable that the adults would stand up for them. And now that the youngsters are independent, everyone is happy to see this happen …. "
"What's the standard for children to fight?"
Ouyang Chen's index finger scraped across the bridge of his nose. He slightly adjusted the position of his glasses and spoke very seriously, "I've made a postmortem deduction of the intercontinental airship incident. When Luo Nan began communicating with the youngsters of the Yuchuan Family, the interference power of the abyssal region was far below the observable standard. The level and intensity were considered very low. No matter what, it wasn't out of line. Why did an adult suddenly jump out?"
"You're talking about us, right."
The Pope of Baiji let out a low laugh. His thin, hairless face had a calm appearance. "It doesn't matter if it's me or Qianju. We won't overstep our boundaries and stand up for the children of other families. As for the intercontinental airship incident, it should be understood like this.
"Pulling people to the table, whether it's drinking tea or arm wrestling, always requires a bit of effort …. Fine, this is your president's logic. The truth is that we've always bullied the weak and feared the strong. It's just that ordinary people aren't as strong as us."
The corner of Tian Bang's lips twitched. It was probably only in this sort of situation that these old Extraordinaries would speak so bluntly.
However, this battle of tongues, which was about to expand, was, to put it bluntly, each family expressing their position. There was no substantial pressure …. President Abner's smiling face was the clearest benchmark.
Of course, the earliest pressure was washed away by Zhang Yingying's' fearless' speech. Or perhaps, the time wasn't right yet.
Her Majesty Empress Wu reluctantly concluded, "Compared to the Amaterasu Order, President Abner really does care and cherish. Especially his speech. It's incisive, deep and shallow. It's very targeted and instructive …."
Oh my, where did your extraordinary bearing go?
Tian Bang finally laughed out loud. He wasn't the only one who laughed. He wasn't even in the minority.
Her Majesty Empress Wu became more and more open-minded amidst her laughter. "The only pity is that he beat around the bush a bit. I'm afraid that only you, President, can speak so clearly. How about this …. This is the communication method over there. Everyone, no need to be polite. You can discuss and research, or call each other brothers. Just go ahead. I also really want to know what kind of brilliant argument he can make today. "
As she spoke, Her Majesty Empress Wu tossed out a white bead of light. It spun around in the live broadcast area. It was none other than the special effects of Luo Nan's message link.
Tian Bang casually scanned it and confirmed that there were no mistakes.
There were quite a few people who did the same thing as him.
Luo Nan would probably receive quite a few friend requests after today's meeting.
President Abner maintained his smile. He turned his head and instructed Marlon, "Send an invitation to Professor Luo right now. If he's free, invite him to participate in this discussion. Everyone is looking forward to the splendid explanation that Configuration Theory will give to this world. "
Then he changed the topic of conversation. "Before the situation changes, everyone should first understand the background information of today's meeting. See why this meeting is being held, and choose this person …."
Mr. Mo was quite cooperative in the live broadcast. His lecture was neither fast nor slow. It looked like it would continue for quite some time. On the other hand, Vice President Marlon had just made arrangements to contact Luo Nan. He also had to introduce specific information. He was quite busy for a time.
"The main topic of this meeting is to ask everyone to identify the true murderer of Deputy Secretary-General Gong Qi's murder case. Around 4 o 'clock in the afternoon on the 1st of May in Chan City, Deputy Secret Chief Gong was assassinated in his seclusion location. Unfortunately, he perished. The specific circumstances have already been reported. I won't go into detail this time. Headquarters has invited experts to earnestly analyze the scene. Aside from basic judgments such as the time of the crime, motive, and so on, they have also broken down the clues from the act of murder. In the end, a total of seven conditions were formed. These will serve as the criteria for identifying suspects. "
The information in the hands of the participants was updated along with Marlon's explanation.
"First, an electromagnetic ability user. Connie, Monroe, and I fought with the murderer that day, or should I say 'one of the murderers'. We are certain that he definitely belongs to this type. "
"Second, an Extraordinary or a manipulator of the Abyss Region's solidified configuration. This should be the case. I won't go into detail."
"Third, the extreme utilization of the Abyss Region's power and micro-manipulation ability. This gives people a deep impression."
"Fourth, the ability to burn and absorb flesh and blood. Gong Qi's skeleton was destroyed by this. Not even his bones remain."
"Fifth, the ability to assemble and manufacture machinery. The murderer is equipped with an exoskeleton for combat. The style should have been specially issued, but there are too many possibilities …. Better than nothing. "
"Sixth, the ability to conceal and teleport. Without this ability, the murderer wouldn't have been able to easily escape from our pincer attack. "
"Seventh, the ape-like creature. It was the first unexpected factor to appear on Volcano Island. To a large extent, it interferes with our line of sight. Moreover, it is highly related to that plane …. Everyone understands. "
Some people laughed, but most people were very serious.
The death of any Extraordinary was a very serious matter. If a plane was involved, it would be even more serious.
Maron continued to emphasize, "Considering that this matter is most likely not the work of a single person, as long as a single person fulfills four of these seven conditions, they will be a major suspect. Of course, this also has to be in line with basic criminal reasoning. "
President Abner added softly from the back, "If we can directly prove that someone or some people are highly related to that plane, we can basically directly conclude the case. Everyone should understand that this is the core condition and the most direct evidence."
Tian Bang curled his lips. Dogsh * t logic.
However, the venue was rather lively and noisy. At least half of the people were shouting.
"Exactly!"
The way they heckled didn't have any Extraordinary bearing at all.
Heh heh, the human heart is like dogsh * t.
After a long introduction, Maron took advantage of the situation and drew everyone's attention to the live broadcast.
"I've never heard of this Mr. Mo before. However, the Bloodflame Order he's in has previously fulfilled two of the seven conditions: the ability to absorb flesh and blood, and the solidification of the abyssal region. Especially the latter, it has been confirmed that on May 1st, Chan City time, the Bloodflame Order had an unplanned sacrificial event that also lasted for a long time. This bit of evidence is quite solid. Let me add … the most important witness is that person. "
Oh, Cadman.
The unlucky guy whose life and death could no longer be confirmed.
"Thank you, Apocalypse Laboratory, for providing us with an observation point of view, allowing us to simultaneously witness the birth of this Mr. Mo. At the same time, we also added two more conditions.
"There is one that we can't see, but the evidence is conclusive: this Mr. Mo is quite accomplished in the field of exoskeleton design, and he is very willing to invest. He is currently discussing the purchase of a processing plant in Ban City.
"As for what we can see, it's a mutant called the 'Mushed Mouth Ape'. There are no records of it in the world's searched information. The only thing that can be seen is that 'plane' shrouded in clouds and mist. "
