Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train-Chapter 877 - 365: Mechanical Creation (Part 3)
"That’s because you didn’t know I had such a Disaster Plant; the precondition didn’t exist." Lin Xian picked up the hot tea, looking at Mochizuki Masashi’s calm expression, always feeling that beneath this young face lay a shrewd and calculating mind. Just as the cup was about to touch his lips, his brow furrowed, and he reacted, "Have you retaliated already?!"
Mochizuki Masashi looked at Lin Xian with some surprise. With his sleeves folded, he looked at Lin Xian as if seeing a treasure, "Lin, how are you so clever? I’m even considering whether to import your conscious memory into me, so I can study your way of thinking."
"Stop it."
Lin Xian immediately raised his hand to refuse, "I have no interest in uploading my consciousness for others to see."
After he spoke, he looked at Mochizuki Masashi and asked seriously, "What did you do to Dawn City?"
"Nothing much, just a friendly reminder. I hope your friend won’t mind, or get caught up in it."
Mochizuki Masashi casually raised a hand, and suddenly a clear image appeared on the holographic screen. Lin Xian looked, and it was the daytime meeting between Zhou Mingyuan and Mochizuki Masashi in Silent City—a scene Lin Xian had witnessed on the Dragon Transport Ship.
As Lin Xian curiously watched why Mochizuki Masashi repeated this, the more Lin Xian looked, the more he realized something was amiss.
Because the content in the video was completely different from what Lin Xian had seen before.
Especially when Zhou Mingyuan pretended to show concern over Silent City being drawn into Star Abyss and said he sent a rescue fleet, Mochizuki Masashi responded unceremoniously, "Thank you for your concern, but our Number Two City has always been stationed in Luling Forest, drawn into Star Abyss, and based on their feedback, it seems they have not received any aid from Dawn City. Instead, there have been some reconnaissance teams watching us, likely... they’re not from Dawn City, right?" After this sentence, Zhou Mingyuan’s response in the footage turned into
"Mr. Wang Yue is indeed a smart person. Yes, indeed, I sent people to watch you because I’m curious about how your Number Two City with 100,000 people managed to escape from the meticulously planned Deep Red World layout."
Subsequently, Zhou Mingyuan’s words grew increasingly bizarre, and he even admitted how he colluded with the Deep Red World to threaten that Silent City must surrender to him, or else the 100,000 people in Silent City would become guinea pigs for the Deep Red World.
The more he spoke, the more absurd it became. Lin Xian’s eyes nearly popped out of his head. At the end, the scene was Zhou Mingyuan and Wen Dong coldly leaving the deck after confronting Lin Xian, where Zhou Mingyuan originally said nothing, but in this footage, it became a scene where he sinisterly twitched the corner of his eye, coldly laughed, threatening
"Mr. Wang Yue, it’s wise to recognize when to yield. You wouldn’t want to see your city in a river of blood, would you? Hahahahaha..."
Then, he laughed aloud, turning to board the transport ship, the footage like an old martial arts film, Zhou Mingyuan might as well have ’evil villain’ tattooed on his forehead.
"What the hell!"
Lin Xian was completely dumbfounded, feeling a million grass horses trampling through his heart!
"You, you, you, this is slander, blatant slander!!!"
"Deliberate fabrication of non-existent rumors is called slander. This is the truth; I just added some artistic touches. How is that slander?" Mochizuki Masashi folded his hands, looking at Lin Xian.
"Shouldn’t slander require evidence?!"
"Can it be called slander if there’s evidence?"
"This is way too fake; he laughed like Ouyang Feng. You might as well have him cackle non-stop. And who would believe the Deputy Chairman of the Federation is such a fool?!" Lin Xian’s expression was extremely colorful, feeling deeply shocked by Mochizuki Masashi’s ’high-quality production.’
Mochizuki Masashi kept a calm expression, "Why won’t they believe it? Most people in Dawn City and Silent City know Zhou Mingyuan went to Silent City, right?"
Lin Xian nodded.
"Most of the footage is real. The arrival and departure of the transport ship must have witnesses from afar, right?"
Lin Xian thought for a moment and nodded again.
"Furthermore, the fact is, Zhou Mingyuan indeed colluded with Deep Red World. Their purpose in coming was indeed Silent City, and they even released a spy nano-spider to activate Grace, right?"
The more Lin Xian listened, the more peculiar his expression grew, and he could no longer laugh.
"But isn’t it possible to find evidence with a careful examination?" Lin Xian furrowed his brows deeply.
Mochizuki Masashi squinted with a smile, looking at Lin Xian, "A peaceful society requires evidence; now it’s the end of the world. I just presented the facts in a different way; no evidence is needed. Didn’t I recall your forte was playing against the rules, Lin?"
Lin Xian opened his mouth, and Mochizuki Masashi’s words left him speechless.
His eye couldn’t help but twitch. The more he thought about it, the more he realized how heart-wrenchingly strategic Mochizuki Masashi’s move was, shattering all schemes and conspiracies, presenting everything transparently. Although with some ’artistic processing,’ he was right. Slander doesn’t withstand scrutiny, but the truth could be fatal!
Once this video is released, it will inevitably incite the wrath of millions from Silent City and Dawn City. By that time, when the fuse is lit, no one will care whether it’s true or false. Besides, Zhou Mingyuan couldn’t endure the scrutiny at all. The more attention falls on Zhou Mingyuan and these high-ranking officials from Dawn City, the harder it will be for them to cope.
