The Whole World Awakened: My Clones Are Everywhere-Chapter 64 - No Collusion
64 No Collusion
At the Ministry of Law…
The director, who was wearing a black suit, stood respectfully in front of the projection.
The voice of an old man came out from the projection.
The director stood cautiously and nodded repeatedly. From his voice, one could hear the joy in the old man’s words.
“Do you understand now?” The old man asked.
The chief said, “I understand, but elder Sun, if the Sword God knows the truth…”
The human race called the Sword God a hero. He had outstanding military achievements, and his B rank transformation was at SS rank. Known as a genius and a miracle, his reputation in the human race had reached its peak. As long as he was mentioned, one could not help but admire him.
Now that the disciple of this great hero was about to be framed, he felt sad and angry. But the old man had already promised him a promotion and a raise. Thus, he thought for a while before finally agreeing.
“Don’t worry. If we succeed, the promotion will be a small matter. You won’t be able to imagine the other benefits.”
He ate it with relish in his heart. He was both flustered and happy.
He had been in this position for more than ten years. He had no hope of being promoted, but he still yearned for it.
Now that he finally had such an opportunity, even if it meant licking blood on the tip of a blade, he wanted to take the risk and do it.
Moreover, it was the other party who had come to find him first. He also understood that now that things had come to this point, he had no choice but to agree.
“Elder Sun, thank you for the opportunity. I know what to do. Just wait for the good news.”
“Alright, I hope you won’t disappoint me.”
“Goodbye, Elder Sun.”
The call ended.
The director couldn’t stand still and fell onto the stool in a panic.
After a long time.
He finally suppressed his panic and called his confidant.
“Come here quickly,” he ordered.
Not long after, a few people arrived at the office and came to him.
There were a total of four, and they had all been following him since the beginning.
Everyone looked at the director, waiting for him to give the order.
The director hesitated for a moment, but still spoke.
“It’s been confirmed that the Li family didn’t collude with the realm of the dead. I’m sure you already know that.
They looked at each other in confusion, each with a puzzled look. What did this mean?
Didn’t he confirm that the Li family was colluding with the realm of the dead?
However, when they looked at the director, the director’s eyes were dark and filled with warning.
As the chief’s trusted men, they quickly understood what he meant.
Standing in the middle was an older man with clear facial features, but the corners of his eyes seemed to have been through a lot.
“Yes, after our investigation, the theory that the Li family colluded with the realm of the dead is not true. Wang Buyu only killed his entire family to vent his anger. Such an action would warrant a death sentence.”
As he was speaking, a middle-aged man next to him immediately understood.
So that’s what the director meant. He felt like he was struck by lightning, but he couldn’t say anything. The pressure in front of him was heavy, so he could only shut up.
The other two immediately said, “That’s right. We’ve found out that the Li family is innocent. Not only did Wang Buyu kill his entire family, but he also slandered the Li family by claiming to be the disciple of the Sword God. His crime is unforgivable and should be sentenced to death.”
Just like that, the original truth was reversed.
The guilty became innocent, and the hero was framed.
They didn’t even blink when they said these false accusations, as if they were certain that this was the truth.
Moreover, his words seemed sincere and very credible.
“Since the truth has been found, convict him immediately and execute him in the central city.”
The director’s authority and sense of oppression made his confidants do as he said.
The man, about 28 or 29 years old, was called Wu Zhen. He finally spoke. “There’s only one train per week. There’s only one day left until the next train.”
The air train was similar to regular high-speed rail, but it was much more advanced.
It traveled in the air and reached 300 cities.
However, Ji city’s environment was relatively remote, so the train only passed once a week.
If they wanted to go to Central City, they had to take the train because if they went there by themselves, they had to traverse the wilderness.
The wilderness was filled with danger, making it impossible to reach the destination.
Just now, Wu Zhen was slow-witted. It was as if he was suspecting him, which made him feel guilty and embarrassed.
He cast him a glance.
“You will escort the prisoner over. If the prisoner escapes, bring me your head.”
Wu Zhen paused. This journey was full of danger and was usually escorted by tier seven cultivators. Even so, there was still a possibility. He had lost his life because of a mistake.
He wanted to refuse, but when he saw the cold and emotionless eyes of the director, he could only agree.
“Yes.”
“You can all leave now.” The director spoke.
After everyone left the office, the chief sat down again and silently lit a cigarette. He exhaled a mouthful of smoke. There was only a flash of wavering in his eyes for a moment before it disappeared immediately.
The next morning.
The silver-gray train arrived, looking no different from the regular high-speed trains. It was five meters tall and no less than a thousand meters long. The train had a total of eight carriages.
The straight body of the car, its agile sense of direction, the head of the alien beast as the head of the car, a primitive system, yet with the high-tech body of the car… the great juxtaposition of these two elements made the entire vehicle look very out of place.
Outside the city.
Many passengers were already waiting.
Passengers from other cities were also on the train.
In one corner, more than ten people surrounded Wang Buyu, with him in the center.
The cold handcuffs were obvious. The people in the center were the criminals being escorted.
However, Wang Buyu was calm and composed. He didn’t care about his current situation.
Wu Zhen pushed him to get into the coach.
He knew that the reason he had offended the director this time was that he had not expressed his stance quickly. That was why the director was dissatisfied with him and had arranged such a task for him.
However, he could still see that Wang Buyu had no intention of running away. Otherwise, he would not have allowed them to return him to the Ministry of Law.
Nonetheless, he still couldn’t relax.
He knew that the young man in front of him was right. If it were any other time, he would have been released, but this time, he didn’t know the reason. He knew that the young man was a hero and he didn’t kill the wrong person.
But not long after, the guilt in his heart disappeared.
Pity him? “Who’s going to pity me then? I can’t let such a person ruin my life. He doesn’t deserve pity. If you want to pity someone, pity yourself.”
The train slowly came to a stop as it kicked up a cloud of dust.
Not long after, the dust cleared, and the train door was opened. An attendant walked out and told everyone they could get onboard
Everyone got in one after another. Wu Zhen also got in with his people.
Two hours later, no one else came up. After the train attendant got on, the door quickly closed.
The train’s loudspeaker announced, “Welcome, passengers, to this train. The train is about to take off. To ensure safety, please turn off your wristwatches.”
“The train is about to take off. Please check your tickets. Everyone, please fasten your seat belts. Smoking is prohibited for the duration of your journey. Please take note.”
After two announcements, the train began to take off.
After he calmed down, Wang Buyu panicked and looked at Wu Zhen.
Wu Zhen’s eyes were on full alert after they met each other’s gazes.
Wang Buyu leaned back on the chair lazily.
“I want to drink.”
Drinking?
You bastard, you’re about to die, and you’re still drinking?
“There’s no wine!” Wu Zhen growled angrily.
Without wine, Wang Buyu was unhappy, and the alcoholic started to get restless.
He looked around and finally fixed his eyes on the flight attendant.
He raised his hand. Because of the handcuffs, he waved both hands.
“Hey! Girls! Do you serve any wine?”
