Chapter 29 Beautiful Landscape

While Bernard and Lisa were discussing colors, the background behind the beautiful host in the video turned into a burning float car and high-pressure water cannons sweeping across the parade.

When the camera turned, a demonstrator with a piece of cloth wrapped around his mouth and nose was firing an AK-47 amid the smoke of tear gas.

His companions, also thugs wearing vultures, were looting a store with an ostrich flag hanging at the door.

But the shot was quickly cut away.

After the switch, the camera focused on the entrance of the Akron City Security Bureau in Summit County, Ohio.

Juan saw that security guards were constantly entering the security station carrying demonstrators who were still convulsing after being hit with stun guns.

At the same time, the horn of the corpse collection truck kept ringing.

The voice of the beautiful host off-screen is almost shouting:

"It is reported that the person who publicly opposed Pei Luosi's remarks was shot and killed by Ohio Star security guards on suspicion of traffic violations because he had obvious traces of humanoid creatures on his face.

“The security guards involved claimed that the person was drunk, illegally using drugs, and fired a weapon to resist arrest, but the law enforcement record video they provided was blurry.

"One bystander reported seeing 48 flashes!

"And at the first flash of light, the person involved was already knocked down.

"But the eight security guards present continued to attack with energy weapons until the person involved was completely vaporized!

"Currently, the local government has declared martial law in response to the intensifying public protests."



"Oh my God! Is this your human democracy?! It's too scary!" Moon Elf Lisa cowered in Bernard's arms in fear.

During lunch, Juan told Soma about the inappropriate remarks made by the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Pei Luosi, which triggered a popular riot.

The latter was a little surprised: "I never heard of it!"

"No way, you didn't even know there was such a big fuss?"

"I'll check it later."

So after dinner, Soma took Juan to his office.

Soma asked the elf supervisor Yaling to deliver two lattes. He turned on the holographic projector on his desk and logged into the zf official website.

Speaker of the House of Representatives Pei Luosi's remarks were quickly found, followed by hundreds of thousands of comments.

Juan looked through the comments and found that they were overwhelmingly positive.

Occasionally I found a neutral comment, but the replies that followed it were: "Human traitor!" "The centrists who sit on the fence must die!" and insults full of insults.

Juan felt it was unfair and left a comment: "Open your eyes and take a look, there is already a turmoil outside!"

After clicking send, Juan discovered that his comment did not appear in the comment column.

He thought it was a technical problem, so he rewrote it and sent it, but it still didn't appear.

He tried to comment after Pei Luosi's speech: "Well said!"

After sending it, Juan saw his own message "Well said!" in the comment column, but the previous comments did not appear.

Juan, who was a little angry, found the neutral comment that was being insulted and copied the insult that was followed by the insult.

Then Juan posted the copied content in the comments and sent it verbatim.

As if a ball of air was sent, Juan's comments did not appear in the comments column.

When he tried again, a prompt box popped up: "You have been banned for life for publishing insulting words."

"Pfft~hahaha."

Juan's deflated look made Soma smile happily while drinking a latte.

"It's so unreasonable. I haven't changed a single word. He can post it but I can't?!"

"Routine operation, just get used to it."

Juan drank his coffee angrily, and Soma took over.

Soma found a message in an inconspicuous corner of the website: "The Black Palace invites the leader of the Falange Party to negotiate on people's livelihood issues."

The content of this message is just the title, not a word more, and there are no comments after it.

But Soma showed a solemn expression.

"You're right, Juan, this is a big deal."

Juan said with some surprise: "Where did you see it? Why do I feel that this message says nothing?"

“The fewer words, the bigger the story.

"I hope the leaders of the two parties can reach an agreement, otherwise the world will not be peaceful."

Fortunately, after seven days of increasingly serious unrest, the leaders of the two parties finally seemed to have reached an agreement.

As for when the agreement was reached, how the agreement was reached, and what agreement was reached, Juan had no idea.

All conclusions were told to him by Soma who was holding the latest announcement from the government.

"Soma, according to you, this matter is over?"

"Yes, the revised motion passed the vote, everything is finalized, and of course the matter is over."

"But are you sure the Falangists can accept such a bill?"

"Of course, if they didn't accept it, how could the bill pass so smoothly."

"But the parliament is controlled by the conservative party. They occupy the majority of seats. Even if the Falang Party does not accept it, they can force the bill to pass, right?"

"In that case, the riots will not subside."

"But the riots are still going on."

"When the fire is extinguished, the embers will continue for a period of time, but they will not rekindle unless there are new changes."

"But can the public really accept such a bill?"

Juan looked at the announcement: "New standards for human identification have been introduced. Those with human genes not exceeding 50% will be judged as non-humans and no longer enjoy any human rights; those with more than 50% human genes will be judged as humans and enjoy all human rights."

Soma, who has lost his principles, said disdainfully: "The people's thinking follows the guidance of public opinion. As long as there is more publicity and propaganda, they will accept anything."

Then Soma said excitedly: "Thanks to this incident, no one cared about our announcement this week.

"Juan, the Brave New World Autonomous Committee has been officially established! Hahahahaha!"

Soma laughed wildly, and Juan felt that it would not be against the law to record this laughter and dub the villains in film and television works who succeed in their evil schemes.

But since no one asked Juan to play the role of a decent protagonist, he naturally would not slap Soma in the face at this time.

After Soma had laughed enough, he announced that he would hold a dinner party to celebrate.

Juan endured the doubts in his heart and accepted the invitation.

The dinner was held in a private room of the restaurant. The food was very good and the wine was the best red wine you can find on the planet.

Juan saw Jack and the moon elf Lisa.

Juan leaned into Soma's ear and asked softly: "Just the four of us?"

"Yes, for a small-scale banquet, I won't invite any irrelevant people, so that everyone can speak freely."

"But Morgan is not an irrelevant person, right? And what's going on with Lisa?"

"Forget it about Morgan, he's too down-to-earth and he's not from the same place as us. Coming here will only embarrass him. I asked Lisa to keep me company. Don't you think it's nice to put a vase on it?"

“Really eye-catching.”

Juan, who understood, had a toast with Soma and then raised his glass to Lisa. Lisa smiled and clinked glasses with Juan.

Then Juan lowered his head and ate the salad, as if he had forgotten Jack sitting opposite him.
