Pretending To Be A Boss-Chapter 612 - 38: The Pyramid Incident Concludes_2

At least that's what the Judicial Knight who spoke claimed as he recounted his experiences since becoming a Judicial Knight.

He was someone from the lower echelons of the 39th Fortress, where one could either spend a lifetime as a miner or become a Judicial Knight.

He chose the latter, and during these days, he made it known that he had carried out many missions in the mining areas. Previously, when discussing myriad beasts in the safe zones, the mere mention of some powerful creatures instinctively evoked fear in people.

But now, he could fight these creatures alone. He was very proud and arrogant, as if his life had finally found meaning.

He also told his family not to worry about him and welcomed them to become Judicial Knights as well.

Watching these scenes on the television tower, Yu Xiaozhe said angrily:

"This has to be fake, right? How can these guys still maintain their own consciousness?"

"You don't have any evidence that it's fake. You think it's fake simply because you hope it is, but there are many others who hope it's all true," Lin Sen calmed down and said.

Song Que nodded;

"Judicial Knights have always had low visibility, mostly staying at the highest levels.

People didn't know if they needed rest or if they had any behavior of their own. It's just that after someone from the lower echelons became a Judicial Knight, there was no more news from them.

Naturally, there were many who missed them, and people were eager to see those who emerged from the lower echelons return home as Judicial Knights, adorned in brocade.

But gradually, these expectations turned into doubts and worries."

Song Que averted his gaze from the television tower; he knew what was to come, just as Tang Xian had informed him days earlier.

"When we lay the bloody truth bare for all to see, those concerns instantly turned into anger. Undoubtedly, it's an opportunity for change, as people will begin to question the Pyramid from within.

But who would have thought these iron beings could speak? I heard from Tang that in the historical records discovered in Baichuan City, Judicial Knights actually appeared hundreds of years ago, invading this world alongside some creatures from the mining areas. At that time, I wondered how these Judicial Knights came to be? Are humans an essential component in creating Judicial Knights?"

Yu Xiaozhe shook his head and said:

"We now possess a method for their creation, but this so-called method is nothing more than a template. The secrets and technological means within are far beyond our current understanding."

In Song Que's view, the Pyramid and the mining areas were like two completely opposite worlds, two existences reflecting each other.

This world was filled with numerous technologies unknown to the people, while the other world was isolated from all technology.

Song Que shook his head again, realizing now was not the time to ponder these matters, and said:

"Tang had already made arrangements days ago, foreseeing such a situation."

"I'm not surprised at all," Yu Xiaozhe said with a wry smile.

"In a few days, public opinion will shift. Naturally, there will still be many who trust us, but even more of the rest, and likely the hidden manipulators behind the Pyramid's power, will probably portray us as heretics with ulterior motives. Even the entire holy fortress will face threats."

"Are the fortresses going to start waging war against each other?" Lin Sen suddenly panicked.

Song Que shook his head and said:

"Who knows? According to Tang, from the outside world's perspective, looking at the Pyramid is like looking at huge cocoons. We are like living inside a demon's stomach."

"So what exactly are we supposed to do now?"

"We don't have much time left. Luckily, we previously created a large number of portable transport fissures for the migration to Baichuan City. It seems Tang had been planning for a long time. We will take away those willing to leave with us, away from the Pyramid, to Baichuan City."

Listening to Song Que, Yu Xiaozhe paused for a moment and then said:

"Are we just giving up the holy fortress like that?"

Lin Sen, touching his nose with some regret, lamented:

"This has probably been the most arrogant days of my criminal career, being a federal fugitive on one hand and a fortress lord on the other. It's a pity, I highly doubt that if I tell my son these stories in the future, he'll probably think I'm bluffing."

"Wake up, you won't have a son, you won't even have a wife."

Yu Xiaozhe timely put an end to Lin Sen's fantasy.

The two were still very efficient, discussing how to explain to the fortress residents with Song Que, and then began their bustling actions.

For the first time in the hundreds of years since humanity entered the Pyramid, there would be a mass migration.

...

...

On the fourth day after the bronze spoke, after the Judicial Knight's speech.

Public opinion completely changed. Media that previously denounced Li Wanye without reservations suddenly shifted gears.

The once-mysterious Judicial Knights also started patrolling the lower levels.

Now that their will had returned and they were visible to all, all rumors about the Judicial Knights seemed ridiculous and malicious.

But even now, Li Wanye had not come out to explain anything.

Li Xiaonian and Li Zheng, the two brothers, however, breathed a sigh of relief these past few days, thinking that as long as their father cleared everything up, all previous negative news could be utterly dispelled.

Yet Li Wanye was as steady as a rock, spending most of his daytime hours in his study.
