Chapter 322
Regardless of who is watching, on or off screen, the visual focus is on Kanasen, whose face is contorted in a grotesque expression, as if he has choked to death on someone's flesh.
"Ready?" Although everyone worked together seamlessly and the task was very simple, before starting, He Muzhi still glanced at Raymond, who was quickly putting on his protective suit in the gap between their conversations, to make sure Raymond was alright, and then habitually asked everyone a question.
He Muzhi only started counting down when he heard his classmates echoing his words.
As the final sound fell, in an instant, all the members of Class 6) present, who were surrounding Kanasen, activated the weapons they had specially used to clean up the battlefield, incinerate and dispose of the corpses. Countless scorching beams of light, radiating high temperatures, fell on the central area from all directions.
The special protective suits worn by the Class 6 members can block the temperature from rising instantly, but like the Combat Suits, because they are specially designed, they cannot block any smell unless the smell is blocked by themselves. Through the protective suits, the Class 6 members instantly smelled the familiar smell of meat pieces suddenly charring under high temperature.
The strong odor faded in less than a minute, and Kanasen was observed to have turned into ashes and charred remains along with the other skeletons. He Muzhi then announced the end of the process.
(Class 6 handed over their weapons to different people and finished. The cleaning robot had already put the messy pile of bone fragments and ashes into a transparent bag. The bag was clearly labeled "non-recyclable waste". It was obviously a garbage bag that was automatically extracted from the cleaning robot.
The cleaning robot finished its work and delivered the garbage bag to Lailisi, who was controlling the machine.
Lailisi picked up the trash bag, glanced at the slogan on it, raised her eyebrows slightly, smiled in a good mood, and without turning her head, threw the trash bag into the small Transport behind her. She then controlled the live broadcast robot that was originally aimed at them to be set up on the trash bag carrying the ashes of Kanasen, Felix and others. Only then did she look at the other members of Class 6) who were whispering something not far away.
Lailisi: "I've got this sorted out, shall we go?"
"Let's go, the Passageway is open, let's just go straight there."
(Class 6 of students followed the Aircraft responsible for Transport ashes at a leisurely pace and entered the bottom processing system Passageway of the huge Sky City of Clyus.
Different types of waste generated by urban operations are handled by different systems, and just one layer below the ground, countless individual systems are Passageway and intertwined.
[Garbage bags marked with positive reviews]
[If I remember correctly, two years ago, Kanasen attacked a backward little planet and used the natives who hadn't managed to escape as human stakes in his underground kingdom, where he was to rest after his death. According to the available cost estimates, the underground kingdom was only the basic construction, yet it cost over 7.9 trillion Star Coins. Who would have thought that he would now be stuffed into a garbage bag worth only 1 Star Coins?]
[I never imagined that a cleaning robot could one day collect ashes.]
[Robot vacuum cleaner: I'm dirty]
[Doesn't anyone find it cute to see a robot vacuum cleaner stomping on bones that are too big to clean?]
[We just got stuck together like that, I'm so... tui!]
[Pah, pah, pah, what a jinx!]

The various media outlets broadcast the live from different platforms, but they all noticed that the Viewers remained silent, simply filling the entire screen with emojis meant to dispel bad luck.
"Why is the screen dimmed? Quick, adjust it, turn the screen brightness to the maximum."
"Right now, we can only see the garbage bags, but not the people from Class 6, and we don't know where they are. We haven't seen the garbage bags being taken out either. The screen is so dark that we can't see anything clearly. Could they just throw them in the trash can and be done with it?"
"Listen carefully, there's a booming sound of some huge machine running. They must have entered some kind of underground... Wait, could it be what I'm thinking?"
"... We seem to have the same idea. If that's the case, compared to the cemetery that Kanasen spent a fortune building, it's not just a world of difference, it's like heaven and dust... no, that place isn't even dust, it's despicable, I like it."
In the dimly lit environment, Class 6 followed Orlina, the site manager of the Setini Palace, and soon arrived at the location where they needed to take an elevator down through the underground Passageway.
(Class 6 of students looked at their former group members, who were now on the same side as them. They tacitly split into two groups. One group, led by He Muzhi, continued to follow Orlina into the elevator, while the other group, led by Sophia, stayed in place.
Judging from the expressions of the group in Class 6), Orlina could tell that they had obviously not communicated with each other beforehand. However, no one questioned this arrangement, and they all accepted it tacitly and calmly.
Orlina: "..."
(Class 6 have already been automatically divided into two groups based on whether they came or not, judging from the current situation, the group of Class 6 who came can be further subdivided into...
Orlina recalled the scene of the group of students from Class 6 staring at each other that she had just seen in the reflection of the elevator, and her heart sank, stopping her desire to investigate.
There are too many, countless, simply too many to count.
As the elevator descended, He Muzhi and Sophia Lailisi a glance before looking away, their attention turning to the whispers of their classmates around them.
The moment the students started talking, He Muzhi quietly turned off the audio recording device on Transport garbage truck to prevent those watching their every move on the screen from hearing things they shouldn't hear.
(Class 6 6 rode the elevator down, the lights near the elevator illuminated the surrounding environment, revealing glimpses of the underground machinery in the distance.
"This scene is like stepping back into the era of the Zerg's rampage; it's giving me megalophobia."
"Look at the surroundings. It looks like we're surrounded by giant, winding, pillar-like monsters. We feel like we've fallen into a monster horde. Luckily, they're all inanimate. If they were alive, and the Class Monitor isn't here, we could just pack up and lie down and wait to die. But even if they're inanimate, if there's any slight problem with the system, given how insignificant we are here, we wouldn't even be found if we died down there."
"Hey, can't you have even a little bit of courage? At least flip it over when you're being ground into mincemeat and salvage a shred of dignity?"
"What's the point of trying to salvage something that's already dead?"
"They're all afraid someone up there might have malicious intentions and cause some trouble to kill them down there, so they each left someone up there to keep watch, right?"
Orlina listened silently, trying to hide her presence. Based on everything she saw, the group in Class 6) sometimes seemed to be very close and trusting of each other, but at other times they were very wary of each other and full of distrust. They seemed to be used to this distrust and didn't feel anything was wrong. It was very disjointed.
"..."
The more Orlina thought about it, the less she understood the people in Class 6.
'Intimate yet distant, such a contradiction—don't they feel uncomfortable?'
'Or is it true, as the rumors suggest, that they knew from the beginning that Qin Su had no intention of letting them coexist peacefully, understood Qin Su's purpose, and willingly accepted it? Don't they... feel a little... sad that they've spent so many years together, sharing life and death countless times, only to end up like this?'
[It's really painful; it's like being in love and embracing each other, yet constantly on guard, afraid the other will stab you in the back.]
[Don't try to understand most of the people in Class 6 using normal thinking; their behavior became abnormal the moment they unconditionally obeyed Qin Su.]
[You mean Boss Su nickname) never intended for them to be normal in the first place? Tsk, I knew Boss Su was a wolf in sheep's clothing (smug). He likes to make normal people seem sunny and cheerful on the surface, but in reality, they could turn dark, twisted, and crawling at any moment.]
Five minutes passed, the elevator stopped, and Orlina, pulling herself out of her reverie, stepped out first, her voice ringing out, "Everyone, we've arrived."
(Class 6 stepped out of the elevator and looked at the churning excrement below without showing any disgust.
During the time they were collecting corpses, they initially relied on looking at excrement to forget the visual and olfactory shock of the various degrees of decay. Now, after being "battled" countless times, they no longer need to look at excrement to calm themselves down. After a long time, seeing it again even feels somewhat "familiar".
["Kind"]
[See what I said before? The guy in Class 6 isn't right in the head.]
[Same thing, couldn't they have drawn it a little more realistically? After reading comics for so many years, this is the first time I've seen someone draw excrement so realistically, making it look like the real thing. I know it's fake and doesn't smell, but looking at it on the screen made me want to throw up my dinner from the night before (yue--). Couldn't they just flush it down the toilet? Why did they have to make it so serious and disgusting?]
[Blind guessing is another form of threat, warning others that if they don't behave, they'll suffer the same fate even in death. Although it's forbidden to be mysterious, as far as I know, among all the faiths on various planets, the people who believe in them the most are those above. They always emphasize cleanliness and are very averse to being mixed with filth before and after death. It's just... disgusting, I can't stand it. (Class 6 is really crazy, they can come up with all sorts of despicable methods.]
[Hey, you guessed it! This is the final fate that Kanasen and the others deserve.]
[I never imagined that such a glamorous surface would hide such a situation underneath, ugh--]
Ultimately, the underground processing system silently endured all of this in endless loneliness and desolation, but it's alright, from now on they won't feel lonely anymore, because their companions have arrived Kanasen Felix @Liao Ze...
[Kanasen: Is that polite?]
[Stop being stubborn. Kanasen and the others resisted when they were alive, but now that Kanasen 're dead, who among them wouldn't want to rush into this 'big family'? (doge)]
[Kanasen: You think you can just assume I'm the one who's blinded by my death?]
After all the students from Class 6 exited the elevator, although Orlina saw that no one showed any disgust on their faces, she still asked politely, "Everyone, shall I open it now?"
"Let's open it."
"Good."
"Hurry, hurry, I can't wait!"
Seeing that no one objected, Orlina opened one of the sections and silently held her breath.
After adjusting the camera, He Muzhi walked over, took the garbage bag off the Transport machine with one hand, lifted it to the open position, and took out a Dagger from his body with the other hand. He then slashed at the bottom of the garbage bag, and the mixed bone fragments and ashes were instantly sucked in by the powerful suction storm below. They fell down with a whoosh, not drifting anywhere else, and all of them fell into the bubbling filth below, instantly mixing with the filth below.
[I wish Kanasen a safe journey.]
[Although I understand Class 6) is trying to say—'If you go against us, be prepared to live in constant torment and suffer, and even in death you won't have an easy time'—it's just so disgusting.]
[Kanasen and the people he tolerated were already quite wicked; this excrement just serves to suppress it.]
[A true maggot should stay in the cesspool (covers face), how can Class 6's actions not be considered honest?]
Orlina couldn't understand the thought process of Class 6). Even though she saw that the ashes of Kanasen and others had been thrown in, she didn't hear what the people in Class 6) were saying. Although she felt disgusted, she didn't close the opening on her own. Unexpectedly, after He Muzhi put the garbage bag on the Transport machine, the open area closed again, and the pungent smell quickly disappeared under the operation of the surrounding air purification system. She breathed a sigh of relief.
"Alright." He Muzhi ended the live stream and looked at where Orlina was standing. "Let's go."
"Okay." Orlina nodded and quickly stepped into the elevator.
The other students in Class 6 followed one after another. As the elevator went up, many students in Class 6 wanted to say something, but seeing that there were outsiders present, they held back from speaking.
Meanwhile, on different planets, countless people who were watching the movements of Class 6) looked at the black screen, and in unison, they shrank back, frowned, and pursed their lips, revealing an indescribable expression.
The scene is gone now, but that... insane behavior left an indelible shadow in their hearts.
They had originally thought they'd take a gamble with Patrick, and even if they lost, it would be a dignified defeat. They figured no matter how tough things got, it wouldn't be as bad as Patrick being at the forefront. But now... (Class 6 was so unpredictable, doing whatever they pleased, and then brazenly displaying this disgusting behavior in front of everyone. They felt a chill run down their spines and were unsure whether to continue...
Who knows what disgusting methods Class 6 will use to disgust them?
Lawrence and his group, still on their way to Clyus, hadn't even arrived when they saw He Muzhi and his group making a big show of doing... such a disgusting thing. Although they didn't say it aloud in the video, their expressions were full of curses like, "Are they crazy?!"
Orlina noticed that many people in Class 6 wanted to talk but were constrained by the lack of space to speak freely. When the elevator stopped, she quickly made an excuse to leave, leaving the space to the people in Class 6.
As soon as Orlina left, the students of Class 6, who had been holding back all the way, started chattering away.
"Very good. After this incident, everyone not only thinks we're crazy, but we're insane."
"Crazy, all crazy, it's good to be a little crazy."
"Once people open up their perspective, they'll think we're crazy, that we're mentally ill."
"That's great! A lunatic can do whatever he wants, and people will give way to him wherever he goes. Wouldn't that save us a lot of trouble?"
"But won't this affect our image in the Class Monitor's eyes?"
When Qin Su was mentioned, the students of Class 6, who had been joking around, fell silent.
A few seconds later, Raymond shrugged casually and said loudly, "Take it easy. We're not even in the Class Monitor's eyes right now, so it's not really a question of affecting our image in the Class Monitor's mind."
"?"
"Raymond, can't you speak properly? You might as well just shut up."
"Exactly, that's even more heartbreaking."
Seeing that everyone's atmosphere had become lively again because of Raymond's words, Sophia said, "The Kanasen matter is now completely over. Now it's time for another matter that we're all concerned about. The Class Monitor still hasn't shown up. I suppose he's just as we guessed, having no interest in the Federation President election. In terms of public opinion and popularity, Patrick is definitely no match for He Muzhi right now. We don't need to worry about the vote share of the people on the various planets in the Federation. I heard that Patrick and the others have been contacting members of the Joint Council privately since they went back. What we need to focus on now is getting the votes of the Joint Council members. How about we split the votes and get them done in batches since we're already here today?"
Upon hearing this, many students in Class 6 subconsciously looked around at the reactions of other classmates. Some spoke up in agreement, while others remained silent.
Everyone in Class 6) present understood that what Sophia raised was a point of contention they couldn't avoid. Sophia's words also implied that if Qin Su didn't participate, Sophia was siding with He Muzhi. But Qin Su didn't get involved, and even... didn't care about them. Such a good opportunity, and not everyone had the absolute confidence of Sophia to obtain military power that could rival the political power held by the president. Who among the others wouldn't want to compete for it?
