Is this person involved in his assassination?
Lu Xin looked up at him, narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at him carefully.
One of the five gentlemen with the highest power in Qinggang, Mr. Song.
There was no cliché plot like the one who assassinated him was someone he knew very well..
This also shows that Lu Xin's intuition about people is not wrong.
In fact, Lu Xin had already guessed it when he realized that the trap he set for himself was too insidious and too coincidental.
And Chen Jing immediately guessed it after receiving the report from the security team. After all, only people who know Lu Xin very well can make such targeted arrangements, and the information about Lu Xin is originally the highest-level secret in Qinggang.
What can be seen is that there are only a few people in total.
It can be clearly seen by looking at who happened to leave Qinggang at that time.
Once this incident was noticed, it caused an uproar in the minds of many people.
Not just because of shock, but because the nature is too bad.
The five gentlemen of Qinggang were all people who made great contributions when Qinggang was first established. Now that such people have chosen to participate in the assassination of Lu Xin, many people have a feeling that they need to choose between those with abilities and those in power.
This is what makes the people of Qinggang feel most heavy.
"Can... we go to the study to talk first?"
This Mr. Song has no confidence even in speaking.
He did not dare to look directly at Lu Xin at this time, but the look he looked at Chen Jing also seemed to be slightly pleading.
"I will not resist, nor will I run away."
"Actually, when I was preparing to come back, I made all the preparations."
"I just have some things I need to explain clearly."
"..."
Chen Jing and the others did not refuse and followed him up the stairs as if they were guests.
In this quaint office that had made many decisions for Qinggang's economy, Mr. Song came behind the desk and slowly signed several documents on the table. It seemed that he had more to sign, but his hand stopped.
"I came back just to take care of the funeral."
He seemed to be struggling. After a while, he slowly spoke:
"I called those people outside, but they have nothing to do with this matter. It's just because there are always too many things to deal with in such a big stall under our Song family, so I asked them to come over and arrange it as much as possible."
After a pause, he whispered, "When the assassination failed, I knew it was over."
"I didn't follow them to Gaoshan City in the west, because I knew it would be useless if I escaped."
"So, I come back and bear the consequences."
"..."
Chen Jing frowned as he listened to his voice that was still a little shaky despite his efforts to remain stable.
Said: "Why?"
Just three simple words asked everyone what they wanted to ask.
Yes, why...
Lu Xin wants to know, that's all.
I am a person who abides by the rules, works hard, and receives the rewards I deserve.
I haven't done anything bad, and I don't like to offend people.
In particular, ask yourself, Lu Xin feels that he has contributed to Qinggang, so he does not understand that he has contributed to Qinggang, so why would Qinggang, a person in a high position, choose to participate in the assassination of himself? What benefits does this have to Qinggang?
"Why..."
Mr. Song murmured and remained silent for a while before saying, "There is no reason, it's just a choice."
Chen Jing and others frowned.
The face of No. 5 peeking out from behind the rickety strong man was even more full of sneers.
This answer is obviously unsatisfactory.
"I participated in the reconstruction of Qinggang."
Mr. Song slowly raised his head, seemingly answering Chen Jing's question, but his eyes were directed at Lu Xin:
"I have made many decisions that benefit Qinggang, and now this is just another one."
"I came into contact with Spades Office and accepted the ideas of my mentor and bishop very early, ten years ago."
"So, maybe I did understand our world earlier than you did."
"There is no escape. From before Crimson Moon appeared in the sky, the Beginning's eyes have been looking at our world."
"From that moment on, we were destined to be unable to escape, and there was no other choice."
"The Beginning is an unprecedentedly powerful Pollution Source. It will pollute and devour all the people in reality little by little. Our survival will not have any effect, just like ordinary people who are helpless in front of Mental Monster."
"I understand our mentors and only by trusting them can we find a way out."
"And you..."
"..."
He slowly shook his head and said:
"I know what Special Purity Department and Lao Su are discussing. I have also seen Heavenly Kingdom Plan's blueprint."
"But it's no use..."
"Haha, you are working very hard, but in fact, you don't even have your own goals and direction."
"You are basically taking one step at a time, making a huge gamble with the future in the face of an unknown destiny."
"..."
At this point, he seemed to have difficulty in speaking in an aggravated tone and asked, "Is it useful?"
"I know that you came here hoping to ask for something more conspiratorial and a more personal reason."
"Yes, the more selfish reason is that I want to survive and live well."
"But if there's a real reason, it's because I don't believe you."
"..."
As he spoke more and more, it seemed that confidence and frankness returned to his face.
He could even look at Lu Xin calmly.
He said softly, "I don't know what you think of mentors and bishops. Do you think they are selfish or crazy?"
"But you can't help but admit that in such a repressed and chaotic world, they have always had clear goals."
"And you, including Eclipse Research Institute, don't even know what you are going to do."
"You even chose to go against your mentors when you had no goals, and you did it in a way that harmed the security of the world by awakening the Beginning. So, how do you ask me to choose and make a decision?"
"I have talked with Lao Su and the others before, and they have no intention of accepting my suggestion."
"Because you are powerful."
"..."
At this point, his eyes even became sharper. "You are so powerful that even Qinggang is no match for you."
"So more and more arrangements and goals in Qinggang have begun to change because of you."
"Focus on you."
"But that doesn't allow me to accept that I would bet the entire Qinggang and my own destiny on you. So, when Spades Office found me, I agreed to their request and decided to do everything I could to get things back on track."
"Now it seems that I just lost."
"So I calmly returned to Qinggang to accept my own destiny."
"..."
"..."
After listening to these words carefully, Lu Xin was silent for a while.
So, things are actually very simple.
However, I have to say that I did not see the results I wanted in him.
Because I was almost fused with the Beginning, I had seen the hugeness of the Beginning, and I was also vaguely aware that some things might be different from what a generation of researchers said, and I actually had a faint resonance with the words of Mr. Song.
This made his mind extremely complicated.
"So, Song Jianye is just confused..."
At the same time, in an office of the Special Purity Department, Professor Bai was pulling off the headphones and putting them aside.
Opposite him sat Mr. Su, who had just rushed over. On the display screen next to him, there were images of several other gentlemen. Everyone was a little silent. Listening to the sound coming from the bug on Chen Jing, they also fell into deep thought.
"It's not just him who is confused..."
Mr. Su wiped the sweat from his forehead and sighed in a low voice.
"Yes."
Professor Bai slowly picked up the cup, but did not drink it. He stopped in mid-air and muttered:
"In such a world, everyone is confused and anxious. They are under endless pressure and faced with strange things. They are subjected to indescribable prying eyes and face the danger of going crazy at any time."
"What's even more despairing is that no one can help us point out a clear path."
"No one can help us..."
"Then it's not that hard to understand that someone makes a crazy decision, or even a seemingly stupid decision."
"It's just..."
He slowly remained silent for a long time before taking out an unopened document from the drawer.
"Old Song is still impatient. He doesn't know. He just needs to be patient. He just needs a little more patience."
"With a little more patience, he will at least see this little hope..."
"..."
"..."
Mr. Su, as well as several other gentlemen on the screen, raised their heads and looked over. "This is..."
"Eclipse Research Institute's Dean Xue, what was promised to us before."
Professor Bai was silent for a moment and said, "It is also something that points the direction for this world. It comes from the genius who once jumped from Eclipse Research Institute a hundred-story building. He researched it and can tell us the direction of the future."
"Due to the ubiquitous prying eyes of a generation of researchers, Dean Xue Jia hid it from the beginning."
"But in fact, we have been executing it, but no one knows it."
"..."
Having said this, he paused slightly and looked at the others seriously. "The executor is me and everyone here."
"At the beginning, Eclipse Research Institute sent us to various High Wall Citys to help resist Mental Pollution and clean up Pollution Source."
"Before this, Dean Xue Jia also personally conducted training for us. He mentioned some secret ideas and asked us to remember not to mention it to others or discuss it, but to keep it in mind at all times and look for opportunities to practice it."
"It was these ideas that helped me complete the prototype of Heavenly Kingdom Plan."
"I only learned not long ago that these ideas are not Dean Xue Jia's own."
"This is the idea of that genius researcher, which was hidden by Dean Xue Jia. He is very good at this."
"So, to put it simply, our Qinggang Heavenly Kingdom Plan is actually the idea proposed by the genius researcher."
"And now, what I have in my hand is the second half of Heavenly Kingdom Plan."
In the past few days when I went out for meetings, there were so few updates that I was really embarrassed to even ask for tickets.
Today is the last day of the month.
Although it is true that the status has not been adjusted yet, so I can only resume normal updates, but...
... After all, it's the end of the month, so it's not too much to ask for a vote, right?
