Chapter 242 You have at least three sentences to say to me
Seeing the disastrous scene in the conference hall, some of the absent officials couldn't help but feel secretly relieved that they hadn't stayed at headquarters and were unable to attend the meeting due to various reasons.
Otherwise, I might have been implicated as well this time.
In the past, the Earth Alliance could still keep Lin Xuan in check to some extent. After all, Lin Xuan was focused on how to deal with the Trisolarans and had no time for internal strife or concern for the political struggles among the Earth Alliance members.
But now, the failure of the Halo Project has extinguished humanity's last glimmer of hope, and the Dark Domain Project proposed by Cheng Xin has become the only feasible solution at present.
Then the Trisolaran crisis will no longer be a threat, and for a long time to come, humanity will be eliminated from the stage of history.
After killing two people, Lin Xuan seemed to be feeling a bit tired. He stood up, then leaned back in his chair and sat down again, his gaze sweeping over the group of local officials present.
Then, Lin Xuan gently clenched his fingers in mid-air, and countless nanobots began to gather in his palm. In the blink of an eye, a pocket watch made of countless intricate gears appeared in his hand.
"I'm giving you one last chance. Confess and you'll be treated leniently; resist and you'll be punished severely. You'd better come up here and tell me your story, or wait until I come down. Think it over carefully. Stand up now and apologize to everyone, and maybe they'll let you off the hook. But if I expose you later, you might suffer a terrible fate."
After saying that, Lin Xuan pressed the button on the pocket watch in her hand. The second and minute hands of the pocket watch began to turn, making a ticking sound.
But to everyone present, the ticking sound was like the Grim Reaper, each second hand moving like a heavy hammer striking their hearts.
"Three minutes. Whoever speaks first leaves. When the time is up, I will start killing."
As Lin Xuan spoke, she took out a pistol from her bosom and aimed it at the Minister of Military Affairs.
Upon seeing this, the latter turned pale with fright, but the backbone he had developed in the army over the years still held him firmly, and he did not retreat an inch, but instead stood straight to meet Lin Xuan's gun.
It's as if it's saying, "Come on, if you're so capable, just shoot me."
"Bang bang bang!"
Just as the atmosphere in the venue reached its most tense moment, a sudden burst of gunfire startled everyone.
Everyone turned their attention to Lin Xuan, and only after realizing that the gunshot did not originate from him did they snap back to reality and look behind them.
There were holographic projections of some absent Earth Federation officials.
At this moment, their projections all began to shake violently, accompanied by screams and gunshots from time to time, sending chills down the spines of those who heard them.
The officials present were all shrewd and astute; they understood the situation at a glance from the projection that revealed the gunshots.
Those killed were all officials from the local alliance who had made excuses not to attend the meeting. They thought they could escape this calamity, but they never expected that they would be on their way before them.
Thinking about it this way, the local officials who were feeling somewhat resentful just moments before suddenly felt much more at ease.
Lin Xuan is indeed ruthless. She killed those who couldn't attend the meeting without saying a word or even a warning.
But thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. We're still in their hands, so who do they need to talk to? The Trisolarans?
However, it soon became clear to some of the officials from the Earth Alliance that not all of them who used holographic projection to attend the meeting had been purged. There were also a few who were genuinely unable to attend the meeting in person, and Lin Xuan did not make things difficult for them.
Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
It's not that Lin Xuan is crazy, it's that this kid doesn't follow the rules at all. With the current average strength of the Earth, it would be incredibly difficult to subdue Lin Xuan.
But as long as Lin Xuan follows the rules, everyone will have something to do and won't just sit and wait to die.
Conversely, if Lin Xuan insists on going his own way and elevates the rule of man to the highest level, then even if he is an observer of humanity, everyone will fight him to the death.
Just as everyone was lost in thought, Lin Xuan, who was holding a gun to the Minister of Military Affairs' head, suddenly spoke up.
"Did you hear that? When a gun goes off, someone dies. When someone dies, someone cries. When people cry, they want to tell their true feelings. You have at least three things to say to me!"
