Chapter 139: Chapter 139: Big News_1

Another sighting of the "enthusiastic citizen" last night made the headlines once again in District Seventeen’s news.

The next day, news of the Tesla Tech’s bionic rebellion spread across the United Federation, causing doubts about household bionic technology among people in the core region. The most direct effect was a drop limit hit on Tesla Tech’s stock.

What Song Lan did last night had an immediate effect- early this morning, Tesla Tech in District Seventeen delivered all the promised military equipment to the Law Enforcement Department as a token of gratitude.

The Law Enforcement Department was destined to be bustling today, even the civilian personnel took time off to visit the armory, eager to have a close-up look at the exoskeleton armor technology.

Song Lan only found out about all this in the afternoon.

Because he didn’t wake up until after twelve noon.

This was not a good sign.

Based on his years of experience, it takes a lot of time and determination to establish a regular routine, but it only takes a few days to disrupt it and turn into a nocturnal creature.

After graduating college and leaving behind a dorm full of night owls, Song Lan, out of painful realization, decided to prioritize a healthy lifestyle.

As he walked into his office, Roger was passionately describing the media’s interpretation of the "enthusiastic citizen’s" performance last night. Right now, the people in District Seventeen were collectively mythologizing the "enthusiastic citizen". Several well-known media had described the battle last night like this: "With just one glare from the ’enthusiastic citizen’, all rebelling bionics were paralyzed. This indeed is the real guardian of our city."

"Your expression isn’t right at all, stop trying."

Valerian was amused by Roger’s attempt, "And that’s definitely an exaggeration. Who can paralyze a bionic just with their eyes?"

"Hard to say," comrade Zhuang Chi chimed in with his opinion, "Perhaps the ’enthusiastic citizen’ is a top-tier hacker who managed to paralyze the bionic’s system."

This lively atmosphere made Song Lan feel as if he was back in high school.

Along the way, he encountered numerous imitators of the "enthusiastic citizen".

They were just like this after watching anime, even in a simple game of badminton, they would pretend to unleash "Meteor Volcano" or "Earth-Bursting Star".

However, for him, this wasn’t entirely a bad thing.

Once the "enthusiastic citizen" had sparked a discussion, he could surf various forums, gather wisdom from citizens, and adopt a few cool-sounding move names.

He wasn’t good at naming, but there was always someone who was.

"Section Chief, you’re here."

The three of them greeted Song Lan in unison.

The timing of his arrival was, as always, impeccable. Just sitting in front of his desk, watching a couple of movies, and then he could clock out, surely a most satisfactory life.

"This time it’s big news. We can totally include the Bionic Rebellion news in the second issue of the ’Law Enforcement Handbook’. This matter is attracting high attention now. The online community has diverse opinions, and they all want to know what exactly happened."

Although comrade Zhuang Chi’s thinking was a bit offbeat, she always put the ’Law Enforcement Handbook’ first.

"Hmm, you can start gathering the materials. But based on my observations, this matter is far from over."

"The hacker’s target has to be Princess Lieyang."

Valerian said.

...

For the law enforcers, it was supposed to be a peaceful afternoon.

After the first batch of military equipment was brought here, everything seemed to be on the right track and it wouldn’t take long for the department’s budget issues to be resolved.

And after Princess Lieyang’s performance in the alley was spread yesterday, most of the criminals who came for the "big fat sheep" had retreated. The few who hadn’t given up yet did not dare make any moves and hid in the shadows waiting for the next move.

At three o’clock in the afternoon, a gasp of surprise was heard from the psychological counseling department.

This gasp seemed like a signal which quickly spread throughout the Law Enforcement Manor.

"Section Chief, come quickly and see!"

The person who gasped was Roger, who, while preparing material for the second issue of the ’Law Enforcement Handbook’, suddenly saw an online post.

Without a doubt, today was a media frenzy in District Seventeen.

The true identity of the daughter of the Twelfth Nation’s Lord, the Tesla Tech bionic rebellion incident, another appearance of the "enthusiastic citizen", each of these alone would be big news, but all three happened on the same day.

Nevertheless, just as the media thought the frenzy was over for the day, they collectively received another piece of explosive news in the afternoon.

The capital city of the Twelfth Nation had fallen.

Esinvig led his forces to breach the city gates, and the royal guard was unable to resist them for long.

Song Lan knew that the primary reason was that Princess Lieyang, the general of the royal guard, was currently in District Seventeen. Without their leader, the royal guard naturally fell into disarray.

The leader of the Twelfth Nation evacuated before Esinvig’s forces breached the city. His current whereabouts are unknown.

Three hours after capturing the capital of the Twelfth Nation, the officials of the Esinvig Army initiated a live-streamed worldwide broadcast. The broadcast should have been blocked by the United Government’s internet firewall, but District Seventeen was an exception.

"Execution ceremony."

The lively atmosphere in the office disappeared, and Roger looked serious- what appeared on the broadcast were hostages kneeling on the ground, under the control of Esinvig army. He recognized the minister of finance from the Twelfth Nation, in the middle, whose most famous company and auction house were his properties.

At this moment, with the camera on him, the elderly man showed no fear, "Your crimes will face justice!"

Once he finished, he closed his eyes, prepared to meet death.

A rebel army official with a pointed knife stood behind him.

They could almost imagine the scene that would follow, such brutal videos were often spread on the dark web.

Suddenly and without warning, the rebel army official raised his knife.

Unexpectedly, instead of decapitating the minister as they had anticipated, the knife directly stabbed into the back of his neck, causing blood to spurt everywhere.

The white-haired old man’s mouth agape, his bloodshot eyes wide open, yet his body didn’t fall. Song Lan clearly saw the muscles on the back of his neck twitching rapidly when the rebel leader withdrew his knife.

The next moment, a scorpion-like semi-mechanical creature emerged from the knife wound. It quickly targeted the rebel army official with the knife, hissing before pouncing at his face.

Another stab of the knife, and the semi-mechanical creature was cut into two.

The medical team that had been waiting on the side, rushed forward. A woman wearing a medical mask gently touched the minister’s neck wound, the terrifying wound started to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Transfusion."

The screen went black.

It didn’t look like the rebel army had stopped the broadcast, but rather that some external force had blocked the source of the signal. The entire website soon went into a state of unresponsiveness.

"What was that....."

Valerian was still recovering from the shock, "What on earth was that thing?"

Why was there a scorpion coming out from the neck of the Twelfth Nation’s Minister of Finance?
