The Guide to the End of the World: Four Sentinels Compete for Favor

On the thorny avenue, the angry crowd kept pushing and surging forward, shouting angrily: "Catch them!"

"Resign! Dismiss!"

"Give us an explanation!"

Han Ce strictly ordered the guards not to use force. They could only stand arm in arm and form a human wall to separate the crowd to prevent riots or stampedes.

He Shifeng glanced at Ai Wanxin with some concern, then turned to Chang Jiayi and whispered, "Reorganize the four battalions of the Fifth Mechanized Infantry Division to enter the city and work with the escort troops to evacuate the people."

Ai Wanxin heard He Shifeng's arrangement. She nodded very slightly, looked at the flying camera in the air, and said loudly: "Fellow countrymen from Guanghui City and various bases, please rest assured and don't worry. I promise you in the name of the Goddess of Dawn and Stars that no sinner will be able to leave this temple easily today."

Her words seemed to have a strange soothing power. The enthusiastic crowd stared at her firm, unshakable eyes on the screen and slowly quieted down.

Ai Wanxin glanced at Cui Zhengrong, who was kneeling on the ground with a pale face, and looked at the other council members present and asked, "Now, who else wants to resign?"

To resign now would mean admitting that one has a guilty conscience and that one has acted improperly. However, if one does not resign voluntarily, one might end up like Choi Jung-young, disgraced in front of the whole country and never able to recover.

Everyone knew that Ai Wanxin was playing psychological warfare and eliminating dissidents, but no one dared to bet whether she had any leverage over them.

How dare she be so strong? How dare she not take procedural justice into consideration!

Now, they can only pin their hopes on Feng Jingyi, hoping that he can stop that crazy woman, or maybe someone can't bear it and come forward to calm that woman's anger.

There was a moment of eerie silence in front of the Temple of Dawn.

From the moment Ai Wanxin took out the video, Feng Jingyi understood that her target was definitely not just Cui and Jin. She came prepared and her target was Glacier Technology.

Since she knew about the glacier technology, does she know about the Blue Fox Corps, the black market, the secondary evolution potion, and the Ninth Mountain Division? How much does she know?

Feng Jingyi had never been in such a dilemma in his life. Even if the whole country was engulfed by floods, zombies broke out and the apocalypse came, he would not feel as tormented as he did at this moment.

But he would never give up until the last moment.

Feng Jingyi forced himself to calm down and said in a deep voice: "General Ai, Councillor Cui and others' words are inappropriate. As for whether they are suspected of breaking the law, the evidence must be handed over to the authorities for a thorough investigation before they can be convicted -"

Ai Wanxin raised her hand and interrupted him: "Mr. Speaker, I don't mean to interrupt you, but I really don't understand your official language."

"I only know that the goddess has sent down a divine revelation, telling us that there are guilty people in the parliament. Whether the guilty person confesses his guilt here or in court, he should be guilty."

"It's impossible to say that he was guilty in front of the temple, but innocent in court. That shouldn't be possible, right?" she asked with a smile.

Feng Jingyi deliberately ignored her last sentence, which hinted at his speculation that he was shielding criminals and affecting judicial justice, and said, "The so-called divine revelation is just your one-sided statement. You are unwilling to hand over the evidence to the authorities. Are you trying to fabricate charges and create an unjust imprisonment in front of the people of the whole country?"

The anger of the crowd on the Thorn Avenue, which had just subsided, was rekindled. They shouted loudly: "We heard it with our own ears and saw it with our own eyes. How can it be called a one-sided story?"

"Don't think you can make a big deal out of a small matter. You want to try them in front of us, sentence them in front of us, and hand them over to the authorities. Then you can decide if they are guilty or not guilty if you want them to be not guilty, right?"

These angry voices mixed together and Feng Jingyi couldn't hear clearly, but he knew that they were definitely not agreeing with him.

Feng Jingyi emphasized his tone and said righteously: "General Ai, if there is anything sacred in the world that cannot be questioned, it can only be the sanctity of justice."

He pointed at the golden statue behind Ai Wanxin and said sternly: "The so-called goddess of dawn in your mouth is in charge of fairness and justice in the world, but in fact, it is the judiciary, and only the judiciary, that upholds justice in the world, judges fairness in the world, and maintains social order!"

"It took mankind centuries and countless lives to come out of the darkness of foolish and ignorant theology. Do you want to be a sinner for all mankind and drag them into the trap of theology again?"

I have to say that Feng Jingyi is a man of many words. With just three sentences, he put Ai Wanxin on the throne of one of the cornerstones of modern society: the opposite of the rule of law. He put the big hat on her without blinking an eye.

After he said these words, many people were shaken. Yes, it seems that it is hard to tell the difference between the opaque judicial process and the divine revelation received by only one person...

If he followed his words and talked about theology and justice, Feng Jingyi would have passed this test.

But Ai Wanxin didn't respond at all. She said with a bit of doubt: "You mean you still want to see the evidence? Then just say it directly."

The huddled congressmen didn't even have time to wail before Pei Junlin operated the terminal and played another video recording.

The background of the video changed to a large bed. A man was leaning against the head of the bed with a cigarette in his mouth and flipping through a tablet in his hand. A woman with her face blurred was leaning on his chest, circling her fingers on his thick chest hair.

The man spoke up: "What's new in your auction today?"

The woman said softly, "Councilor Fan, today we have a sapphire ring from the Silver Empire royal family collection. Our boss said that if you like it, we will keep it for you and not bid on it."

Although the angle of the video was rather tricky, people who were familiar with the video still recognized who the man was. When they heard the voice, they immediately identified the man.

The crowd once again formed a large circle, and the man at the center of the circle fell to his knees with a thump, his legs swinging.

The video continued to play, and the man heard himself say with a smile: "Your boss is always so polite, but this ring is really nice."

The woman smiled, tapped the tablet with her slender fingers, and said, "I've left it for you."

The man shouted, "Stop broadcasting it! I plead guilty! I resign!"

However, Ai Wanxin was not moved at all. In the video, the man flipped the tablet again and asked, "What is this Heaven-Replenishing Mixture?"

Feng Jingyi's pupils suddenly dilated. He now fully understood what Ai Wanxin's purpose was today.

She wants to kill me!
