Chapter 596: A Big Gamble
After a crisp "dang" sound, the scale slowly fell to one end.
The diamond falling into the scales means that the final result of the trial has been established.
Four to three, not guilty.
The crystals above the scale froze one by one, and then spread to the entire scale, turning into a crystal clear diamond scale.
The Diamond on the throne held the phantom of Pinocchio in his hand, with several phantoms of planets suspended between his knuckles. He then crushed Pinocchio and the rest of the planets into golden sand. The golden sand flowed from the palm of Diamond's hand until it fell into the star-like stream.
Values will be reshaped into the foundation, and the sand will flow into the broken foundation and recast it into an intact state.
After being repaired, the four cornerstones returned to the palms of their owners. Aventurine stared at the aventurine in the palms of his hands and bowed slightly to Diamond.
Emerald Topal Dragon Crystal also took over his own cornerstone and regained the power of the Ten Stonehearts.
"The power will be divided into ten..." Hanabi thought about the feasibility of this method. If it were her, she could also give others the power of joy, but if she could divide it into ten parts so stably, she could also continuously supply the power of authority.
I think it is not only the ability of the diamond itself, but also related to the protection authority he possesses.
Although the authority held by each messenger is related to destiny, they are never exactly the same. The authority obtained after becoming a messenger is often related to the path one takes.
For example, if they both have the destiny of preservation, if you want to use preservation to protect everyone, you will gain a defensive authority. On the contrary, if you want to use preservation to kill everyone, you will gain a more offensive authority.
This is often related to the character or will of the envoy, so Huo Huo guessed that the type of power of Diamond is very special, otherwise it would not disperse the power so easily.
You have to know that this will greatly weaken the power of the Emissary Diamond, and its effect is only to create ten people with combat power close to that of the Emissary. To say whether it is worth it... Actually, it is not very worth it.
What the Lingshi symbolizes is not simply the power of destiny, but the strength it brings is also overwhelming strength for those under the Lingshi.
Obviously, in most cases, a single commander is more useful, more flexible and more efficient.
"How much power do you think he will have left after he disperses his authority?" Hanabi recalled the previous attempt with Diamond on the port planet, when her domain was unable to pass through the invisible barrier.
At that time, she thought it was simply the restraint of fate. Now it seems that Diamond himself is not simple. However, it is not that Hanabi underestimates the enemy, mainly because Anming is by her side.
“In reality, the value is not equal.”
Diamond smiled and clapped his hands. On the left side of the scale was still Pinocchio, and on the right side were the four cornerstones. Initially, the cornerstone side was indeed heavier.
But soon another shadow appeared on the left side, it was An Ming's shadow.
Then the Libra crashed to the left, violently shaking away the four cornerstone phantoms.
An Ming raised his eyebrows and looked at the diamond. Does this mean that its value is far greater than the loss of four cornerstones?
"The price of destroying four cornerstones is to gain the opportunity for you to come to Pierpoint. This is indeed a worthwhile deal," Diamond nodded slightly towards An Ming. Although he seldom used value to evaluate individuals, An Ming's existence was indeed an exception.
Whether in terms of fate or value, An Ming is worthy of such a chip, and it is worth him betting the future of the ten people of Shixin on it.
This transaction would be a huge gamble, an unprecedented all-in, and Diamond's chips would be his power and everything.
"You're so sure that I'll come here?"
An Ming began to be interested in diamonds. At least this would be a good opportunity to solve many puzzles. The diamonds in front of him obviously contained inside information about many companies.
"The War of the Gods, or the sea below, are all chips that attract you to Pierpoint."
There are always some things in the world that attract each other. Just as the unknown traveler pursues the end of the universe and explores the unknown, An Ming will also come to these special places.
This is not Diamond's calculation, but a kind of destiny, just like March 7th can never break one hour (it's not).
The War of the Gods is indeed very attractive to An Ming, but now he wants to get more information about the sea, or whether there is any connection between the Sea of Souls and the real sea.
Diamond stretched out his right hand towards the scales, and the diamond returned to his palm again.
He stared at the diamond in his palm and said slowly: "The time has come."
Before An Ming could wonder, the ceiling above the scales suddenly shattered, and along with the dazzling sunlight, an exaggerated protective hammer fell down.
After a loud "bang", the ceiling was completely shattered. A large amount of rubble fell down, but was blocked by some invisible barrier in mid-air and then crushed into sand and gravel and fell into the stream.
As if in the center of a shattered sky, a man in a suit and leather shoes, holding a golden hammer that was over a hundred meters long, smiled calmly at Diamond: "You are a wanted criminal of the company. I will settle accounts with you personally."
Diamond was still sitting on the throne, with an expression that showed that he had expected this to happen. "What a warm welcome, Director Schneider."
"Oswaldo Schneider?"
An Ming thought that this was indeed the case. Ever since he saw the diamond on the port planet, he had vaguely sensed that it was related to the factional struggle within the company. This must be the true content of the transaction.
Oswaldo Schneider and Diamond's board candidate competition, didn't expect that it has now come to a point of falling out?
If I remember correctly, Schneider is also the protector of the kingdom, but judging from the power he controls, we can see that this guy is very radical, which is exactly the same as his style of pioneering and expansion.
"There are more scenes?" Hua Huo blinked, with a look of heartache, "Is this actually a one-time theater?"
Such a luxurious conference room was destroyed at will. If it belonged to her, how could she sit there calmly like Diamond? She would have rushed up to fight with the people who were destroying her house.
"It seems we have to stay here," An Ming knew that the transaction with Diamond was not that simple. If he wanted to get information about Hai, it meant standing on Diamond's side in the company's factional struggle...but it didn't make much difference whether he stood on the side or not.
After all, he is now a wanted criminal in the company, and everyone is truly an enemy.
In that case, it might not be a bad idea to stand on Diamond's side. Thinking of this, An Ming put Wu Ye aside, picked up the champagne and drank it calmly.
Diamond's attitude will determine An Ming's next choice. As for now, he plans to watch the civil war among the Guardians for a while and record the fighting styles of these two.
The diamond in Diamond's palm suddenly emitted a strong commanding aura. He slowly stood up from the throne and walked down the diamond steps step by step.
And every time he took a step forward, a cornerstone would float behind him. The ten people of Stone Heart had not anticipated the current situation, but still chose to believe in Diamond unconditionally.
Only when the ten Stone Hearts gather together, the power of the Diamonds will be combined into one, reaching the peak of combat power.
If Schneider wants to seize the power of Diamond, he will definitely choose the day when the ten people of Stone Heart gather in the conference room, which is today.
Diamond knew everything, but still chose to do so. It was not because he was proud of his own strength.
"Director Schneider, you seem a little too confident."
The white-haired young man held the diamond with a smile. He simply looked down on Schneider and never regarded him as an opponent of the same level from the beginning to the end.
Diamond has a will to preserve that must be practiced, and he would never agree with Schneider's approach.
All ten cornerstones returned and rotated behind the diamond to form a halo that protected his destiny. He himself, holding the diamond, ascended to the sky and flashed to the opposite side of Schneider.
An Ming really regretted not having popcorn now. No wonder Huo Huo liked to watch the fun so much. Who wouldn’t like to eat melons?
"gone."
As the platform fell steadily under control, Long Jing shook her ponytail and looked at An Ming, "Boss, it's okay. But don't let Schneider kill you by accident."
A question mark popped up above An Ming’s head. What was going on?
"Schneider is still useful, so we have to spare his life for now," Zhenzhu knocked on the seemingly solid wall, and soon a secret passage for evacuation was revealed.
The blonde girl suddenly appeared in front of An Ming, stretched out her hand and touched his forehead, the mark of protection glowing faintly.
Amber was about to say something, but when she turned around, she saw Hanabi with a bad look in her eyes, so she calmly withdrew her hand as if she had done nothing.
Hua Huo curled her lips, always feeling that An Ming's charm was sometimes too great. Now everyone she saw was like the girl in her dreams. Fortunately, there was clear information from the simulation side indicating that there was only one simulation left.
Although Huo Huo didn't expect that Annie was still pursuing her at the beginning, when she thought that Annie might be San Yueqi, she suddenly lost her sense of crisis.
To round it off, Annie is just a small fry. She can't last an hour anyway, so there's nothing to worry about.
The most important thing now is to keep a close eye on An Ming and not wait until the day comes when you will create another sister for them even if there is no simulation.
This is the only way to live up to the trust of the organization. After returning, Liuying will praise her for doing a good job, hehe~
Thinking of this, Huo Huahuo glanced at the ten people of Shixin with a scrutinizing look, wondering why all the people who had some connection with An Ming were women. Forget about Sha Jin... It didn't feel as good as Sunday.
The fight was in full swing at the back, while this side evacuated peacefully and orderly. Shu Ju even said hello to An Ming with a smile before leaving. Cang Gang was even more direct, "Let's have a fight when you have time. It can't be the kind that can kill me with one sword."
Cang Gang was very curious about what kind of amazing swordsmanship could change Long Jing from a person who was ready to fight with anyone he met to such a quiet and honest person with just one sword.
An Ming shrugged and took a last look at the battle situation from above before leaving. He could see that no matter how hard Schneider swung his golden hammer, he could not penetrate the diamond defense.
Diamond, on the contrary, was letting Schneider win. Now that all his power was taken back, he was not at all nervous when facing Schneider. He was even interested in fighting with him for a day and a night.
It has been too long since he used his full authority. Schneider happens to be a good warm-up target. As for the person behind Schneider, he will probably be disappointed.
Hua Huo followed An Ming, feeling a little sorry that the conference room behind them was smashed into ruins, but she felt relieved when she thought of the company's tradition of being wealthy.
Why would she empathize with the capitalists for no reason? She must be sick, and seriously ill.
"Here is the reward you wanted," Zhenzhu took out a document bag and handed it to me after leaving the passage, "Diamond asked me to give it to you in advance."
"There will be some unrest in Pierpoint. You can take this opportunity to leave. With your family's pass, SkyEye will not make things difficult for your spaceship."
Zhenzhu explained the current situation in the shortest possible words. The battle between Diamond and Oswaldo Schneider for the directorship candidate position has now been laid bare, and there will surely be a major reshuffle within the company in the future.
An Ming was not actually interested in the distribution of power. It was just that Diamond asked him to attend the meeting but did not need him to help, so there were still doubts about the content of this transaction.
An Ming took a quick glance at the markings on the file bag and realized that this was information about the War of the Gods and the Sea of Souls. Diamond knew from the beginning what he was really thinking.
So dealing with smart people is easy, but it also comes with a lot of trouble.
For example, if you are dealing with Doctor Truth, you have to consider whether you will be hit with a piece of chalk or hear a negative score out of the blue after completing the task. But if you are dealing with March 7, you only need to worry about how to comfort her tomorrow morning so that she won't be so sad about the fact that another hour passed last night.
In any case, the purpose of coming to Pierpoint was exceeded and the time consumed was within the expected range. All that remained was to return to the Black Tower Space Station to see if there were any new clues about Sakura there.
Of course this is An Ming. For Hua Huo, there is only one thing left, and that is to start a 24-hour full-flight activity after returning to the space station.
Although Hua Huo looked like nothing had happened, An Ming knew that Hua Huo's spiritual realm had hardly been closed since entering Pierpoint. In order to remain hidden under the Sky Eye system, she would need to maintain psychological invisibility for a long time.
Sometimes, Hanabi is actually quite tsundere. For example, in this part, she would not take the initiative to tell An Ming what she had done and how hard it was.
In Huahuo's opinion, compared with what An Ming did for her, what she did was really insignificant. Even if she took a step back, she did it on her own initiative because she liked An Ming.
An Ming will not point out Hua Huo's little pride, but he will take better care of her afterwards. This way of getting along also has a unique sense of happiness.
"Hanabi."
"Ok?"
"I feel like I've recovered well in Pierpoint, thanks to you being here," An Ming smiled and touched Hanabi's head, but saw the girl puffed her lips and muttered softly:
"Aren't you calling Hanabi-sama a scumbag in various ways?"
The corners of Hua Huo's mouth curved up, revealing an aggressive look: "When we get to the space station, we'll see who can't get out of bed!"
An Ming suddenly felt a little regretful, but he thought that since it was just Hua Huo, she couldn't be more terrifying than the previous five people, right?
Haha, I'm done! It's completely sunny at 3am~
