"Ten years ago?" Rosie frowned, confused, "That was me..."

"That's when you attacked the main city and were betrayed by Victor." In the cold church, Parisa breathed out, "I didn't follow the army into the city, but stayed in East 4 to make flashy art. At that timeI naively thought that you will come back soon... When you come back, I will give you a new triumphant song and tell you that I like you."

He raised his lips mockingly, "Later when the news of your death came back to the second district, I couldn't believe it, how could you lose. I used to live under your shadow, always thinking that there was a long time to waste, but you died, I realized that so many things in the world are fleeting, and if I don’t exhaust all my strength to chase them, they will suddenly disappear.”

"After hearing the news of your death, the only goal I can pursue is to avenge you. I decided to kill Victor. For this reason, I alienated Piper and Cheng Wen, behaved obediently in front of Victor, and made himPut down your guard and buy time for the development of East 4." Parisa said leisurely, with a calm and cruel expression, "In the original plan, his death method was not so simple."

"What were you going to do with him?" Rosie's heart turned cold, and he suddenly felt that he had never really known the person in front of him.

"Do you want to listen? Or don't, I don't want you to see me dripping with blood every time you think of me." Parisa's eyes were as gentle as green jade, "Besides, I haven't had time to implement the plan, I saw you in the promotional video of the Cesina government. I know that it is not a mass-produced bionic human from CyberRose, but you, the real you."

"At that moment, I was so happy that I went crazy, thinking that I was given a chance to start again. So I postponed the plan to launch a civil war, and looked everywhere for experts who can perform rehabilitation operations. I wanted to take you back to the second district, and then listen to youcommand to fight..."

"Follow my orders?" Rosie interrupted him nonchalantly. "That's not what you said when you threatened me at the campfire the other day. Parisa, I don't understand why you say these things, it's to show your loyaltyWhat? Do you think I won't pursue it if you put a loyal excuse on what you just did?"

The gentle smile in Parisa's eyes became a bit far-fetched, and the surface of the jasper was covered with cracks: "I'm just explaining—because you want to hear my reasons, so I explain. As for the meeting by the campfire, II have already thought about it, if you refuse to give me anything, I will still be by your side, help you kill Victor, and ascend to the position of leader, after all, that is my goal."

"I don't believe your words." Rosie stared at him for a while, then said slowly, "Besides, I never thought of killing Victor. The second district has the laws of the second district, and I have my own decisions. Are you inViolation of order."

"I don't deny this. You can punish me." Parisa said lightly, "But Victor must die. This is not only out of personal grievances, but also for the sake of the stability of the second district. You also knowHow slow is the process of the military court? During this period, can you guarantee that the adjudicators in the west will not disagree?"

"That's not a reason." Rosie barely suppressed the surging anger, "If anyone can violate the law and do what they think is right, what's the need for the law?"

Parisa disagreed: "During the war, the law is just a dead letter. You have been blaming me for excuses, but in fact, isn't the law an excuse for yourself? You know in your heart that as long as Victor is alive, there will be no peace in the second district.", but you are willing to take such a risk, because you can't bear him... He almost killed you, but you still can't bear him to die!"

"I didn't!" Rosie gritted her teeth angrily, "Parisa, stop adding your imagination to me, so that I won't disregard the overall situation for selfish desires..."

"Then what about Deng Huailing?" Parisa asked suddenly, "You started frequent wars within two days for him, is it a sign of the overall situation?"

"I..." Rosie choked, not knowing how to refute for a moment.The other party was right. The two days of sleepless nights, the troops and money thrown into the flames of war, and the lives of tens of thousands of people were all for selfish desires, not for the overall situation.He has no position to accuse Parisa of selfishness, they are originally the same kind of people.

"Don't compare Huailing with Victor." Rosie argued hard, "Huailing...he is different from others in my heart. Except for him, I will not subvert the principle for anyone."

Parisa didn't speak for a long time, just lowered her head and smiled, her blond hair seemed to have lost its brilliance in the moonlight, it was light and transparent."Understood, my leader." He said softly, "I acted without permission and violated your order, please punish me."

"Go and exchange positions with your adjutant, but you are still in charge of the specific affairs of East 4." Rosie rubbed her forehead wearily, and walked towards the door of the church.There can't be adjudicators who disobey orders in the meeting, and this is also to show the old guys in the west, do you understand?"

"...Yes." Parisa was stunned for a moment, then raised her eyes to look at the leader beside her, but that person had already walked away without looking back.He didn't expect that the other party would let him go so easily. He clearly did something that annoyed Rosie and contradicted the other party face to face, but he was not substantially punished.

Maybe he really misunderstood Rosie, Victor has no special place in the other party's heart, Rosie is just habitually soft-hearted to everyone; or maybe it's because Rosie is wary of his words on the surface, but she believes his words generously in her heartloyalty.

...It's really tolerant.His leader, Pariser thought, no matter how many times he had been betrayed and hurt, was still willing to forgive and sympathize with other people's suffering.This quality is inappropriate for today's age, but it is a source of light that attracts adoring moths.

The door of the church was opened, and a ray of white light came in along with the wind and snow, illuminating Parisa's eyes and the bloody bones on the ground.In the quiet darkness behind, the blood drops on the cheeks of the statue of the Virgin shimmered faintly.

Parisa silently watched the figure in pure white military uniform walk out of the door, knowing that this was the end of a coup d'état and the beginning of an era.

Later that day, the troops of the Eastern Alliance completely occupied West 1. Military vehicles drove into the underground city from various entrances. Soldiers broke into the administrative center, pointed guns at the heads of the officials of West 1, and escorted them away in an orderly manner.onto the transport vehicle.

Victor died in the coup, and the core areas of the east and west fell to Rosie.When the news came, the remaining five adjudicators in the west were shocked, and they met with each other to discuss how to deal with Rosie.

However, Rosie's office in East 1 received five letters with similar content. In the letters, the five adjudicators made generous statements, emphasizing their loyalty, criticizing others for their betrayal of the leader, and secretly notifying Rosie of the meetingtime and place.

Rosie read it leisurely, shook her head with a smile, then copied the emails to the five adjudicators, and replied: "Your meeting can't be held, come and attend the Eleventh meeting."

At eight o'clock the next morning, all the radios, holographic screens, and electronic bulletin boards in the twelve underground cities in the second district were turned on at the same time. After a burst of electricity, the busy people in the second district heard a very familiar,Steady and soft voice:

"Good morning everyone, I'm Rosie.  …"

At the end of the streets, it fell into a moment of silence.Among the crowds that look at each other, the air is so thin that they can't breathe, but they are hot and sweaty, like the moment before the volcanic eruption.

Whether it is a young man and a woman who is working, or an elderly person who handled meals in the cafeteria, teachers and students of public schools, middle -aged people with dusty arms factories, stopped at hand, listened nervously, listening nervously.The voice that is only only only available is just an illusion.

The silence lasted until Rosie said the second sentence: "Ten years ago, Victor preached everywhere that I was shot and killed by the main city government, but what I want to tell you is that I am not dead—I am back."

After a moment of tide, the sea swept every corner of the second district.People rushed out of the place of work and residence, screamed and hugged, shaking the bottle to open, and the foam exploded on the street.

Some people want to listen to the radio carefully, but they are almost deafening of the noise of the other part of the people. Some people even climb the light rod to hear the speech of the leader and sprinkle tears to the crowd.

In the unprecedented riots, only very few people heard the broadcast throughout the process. Most people had to ask for the text draft released by the government, while unspeakable people rely on word of mouth.

After some twists and turns, people finally figured out the content of Rosie's speech. The speech was divided into two parts: a concise greeting, and the new policy that "Shu" will implement in the second district.

In the New Deal, more intensive communication lines will be established between the jurisdictions, and the army directly under the leader will be stationed in all areas. The powers of the western adjudicators will be greatly reduced, and they will only exist as chief executives. The power to command the army will belong to the officers appointed by Rosie.; while the eastern part, which is loyal to the leader, has not been cut off, but still has to carry out a series of cooperative trade activities.

In short, the New Deal can be summarized in two words -dictatorship.

While the people celebrated the return of the leaders, their hearts could not help but cover up a shadow.No one knows where this familiar and unfamiliar captain will take the second district where he will take, but they still believe that it is the right direction.

Even more uneasy is the ruling officer who has been cut off. At this moment, ten ruling officers are sitting on both sides of the long table, and behind the departments of each jurisdiction, everyone stares at the leader of the long hair on the main position.

The original round table of the 11-seat conference was removed, and Rosie hinted to them tactfully that the highest power in the second district had been divided into primary and secondary.

The adjudicators stood up as usual and gave the leader a military salute.Rosie nodded slightly, motioned for everyone to sit down, and said, "Today's meeting is different from usual, there is only one agenda..."

"I want to ask you all the strength of the two districts and go to the main city to save someone."
