Chapter 5, The People Who Are Unaware of the Truth
Five minutes later, Han Shu led a team of twenty people away from the rest point, heading towards the recently discovered cult stronghold. "Captain, what about that guy?" a plainclothes officer asked as he followed out.
"How could it be? Today is New Year's Day, and I just want to be with you," Li Xiaoya wrinkled her nose
Han Shu curiously asked: "How could their relatives be on Mars?"
Having finished speaking, he turned to the astonished Chen Yuhao and declared: "Let’s go, I will take you to find Mom!"
The girl saw the police officer at the door, who spoke in a friendly manner, though somewhat disdainfully. The group behind him, with their guns pointed directly at her door, had a threatening stance that suggested they would blow the door open if she did not comply, causing her to feel a wave of anxiety
In the mid-December of the fifteenth year of the Divine Punishment Calendar, Han Shuhua, Li Xiaoya, Long Haoran, and several other classmates attended the funeral of Nock Lan. They laid Nock to rest in the Martian colony's Martyrs' Cemetery.
This deputy team member was originally part of Team Luo, named Zhou Xinren, which is indeed a rather silly name
Han Shu sneered: "Is it used as materials for making bombs?" Religious extremists often exploit naive children for brainwashing education, leading them to willingly become human bombs
Han Shu led a team of military police patrolling through the bustling crowd, squeezing into a rest point to take a break. Since the Cosmic Cult launched an assassination against the senior officials of the Martian government a month ago, followed by several attacks targeting ordinary citizens, resulting in casualties, the military police have begun to sweep the Cosmic Cult's strongholds on Mars, killing over 9,000 individuals and arresting more than 100,000. Every day, these prisoners are executed for crimes against humanity, yet there are always one or two that slip through the net to cause further chaos. Casualties have occurred, and the military police have also begun to sweep the Cosmic Cult's strongholds on Mars, killing over 9,000 individuals and arresting more than 100,000. Every day, these prisoners are executed for crimes against humanity, yet there are always one or two that slip through the net to cause further chaos.
Han Shu looked with great interest at a middle-aged man walking towards the crowd with a backpack. The man, feeling nervous and glancing around, noticed Han Shu observing him and hurriedly lowered his head, with his hands stuffed in his pockets, possibly gripping an explosive trigger.
Han Shu realized that Li Xiaoya had not considered him at all, chuckling dryly a couple of times. Noticing something, he said to Li Xiaoya: "I will come find you after work. I need to get to work now, so I will hang up first"
The police officer pushed the girl aside and rushed into the room, beginning to search each room one by one. Han Shu supported the girl by her shoulders and pushed her against the wall, asking, "Are you the only one here?" In terms of his lewd appearance as a man with ill intentions trying to strike up a conversation, Han Shu is indeed a bad person, as he often enjoys teasing the girls around him
Li Xiaoya nodded slightly, still pondering something, and distractedly ended the communication
Han Shu looked at the suite that had been completely controlled and raised an eyebrow at Chen Yu, saying: "Do you know about the Cosmic Divine Cult?"
The child? Han Shun turned his gaze back and indeed saw the police bringing out five children from the inner room, probably around four or five years old! Han Shun couldn't help but take two steps back, resting his chin in his hands as he looked up and down at the young girl, his expression one of disbelief, exclaiming: "So young, and already a heroic mother!" A youthful beauty!
Han Shu glanced back at the bewildered middle-aged man, who was still tied to the chair. Han Shu smiled gently at him, and the middle-aged man responded with a nod and said to the plainclothes officer: "Give him a beating and throw him into prison"
The girl was pressed against the wall, unable to move, and anxiously said: "No, there are still five children?"
Han instructed the communicator: "Target at 10 o'clock direction, middle-aged man, looks quite unremarkable, carrying a backpack, possibly holding an explosive device, handle with caution! What, there's only one guy with a backpack on the street, are you blind! Yes, that's him, capture him and bring him over, I have something to ask him, uh, that's it." After speaking, he continued to watch the dancing crowd.
Han kicked a chair and sat down opposite, signaling to the middle-aged man to inject the stimulant.
Han Shuyi waved his hand and interrupted, saying: "Jiesike is absolutely right, we haven't gone wrong. Please cooperate with the work, everyone is very busy, so please hurry up." As he spoke, he gestured for the two police officers squatting by the door to install the explosive device.
Li Xiaoya pouted her lips with a resentful expression and turned to say: "Team 7 successfully rescued 6 individuals, who may have been influenced by the Earth God Cult, and requests psychological counseling. It is reported that the 6 individuals may be the children of Earth THG officials"
Li Xiaoya looked astonished, gritting her teeth and waving her small fists, she said with resentment: "Can't you be a bit more serious?"
Han Shu was taken aback as he looked at the young girl. He adjusted the eyepiece, revealing a smile, and said with a grin: "Beautiful lady, I am on official business, please open the door."
The number of Han is irrelevant, as there is the testimony of Chen Yu. The identity of the Jesk Earth God Cult has been confirmed, and the intention to commit acts of terrorism has been substantiated, ensuring that one's contributions are indeed recognized
Zhou Xinren frowned and said, "Are we sending them to prison?"
At the end of the year 15, the unknown divine enemies were unaware of which corner of the universe they resided in, while humanity had already begun to wield the knife of slaughter against its own kind
Speechless, Han Shu can only contact headquarters: "Command Center, this is Team 7. We have rescued six abducted bear children, one of whom is a naive twenty-year-old girl who is still helping others count money. Requesting support from childcare nannies!"
Han Shuyi curled his lips: "Five children, one young girl, deceived by a charlatan. It would be best to have a few skilled debaters with sound values to provide proper guidance. Additionally, they might be the children of certain high-ranking officials, coming from afar to seek their relatives. Let’s do a good job and help these officials find their precious children; who knows, we might even receive a certificate of appreciation!"
Upon ringing the doorbell, a young girl appeared on the monitor at the door. She had long, flowing red hair, an oval face with large eyes, a delicate small mouth and nose, and fair skin, appearing to be around twenty years old
Is this girl from ancient times
The young girl questioned, "What? I do not understand what the police officer is saying?" A pair of very innocent and bewildered eyes looked at Han Shu.
Although this fellow is somewhat timid, he is also a very easy-going and good person. Good people tend to think of some nonsensical things, like right now
Han Shuzhou furrowed his brow and asked, "When was the last time you saw Jeske?"
Han Shu laughed and said: "Xiao Zhou, these are just a few uninformed members of the public; the leaders are all aware of it, hahaha, you are overthinking it. If they are identified as terrorists, it will surely stir up a political storm, and Han Shu would definitely prefer to stay out of such matters.
During this period, many interesting events have occurred in human society, and the divine messenger departed from the solar system at an unknown time, disappearing beyond the solar system
The rumors of a celestial organization, which had not been heard of for over a decade, have suddenly emerged in the human world, causing a stir and unrest in the human realm
In an instant, their laughter infected the bored Han Shu.
Has it been three months already? Chen Yu replied, Mr. Jeske said that the situation on Mars is unstable, and the parliament is arresting THG personnel everywhere, forcing us to hide at home, unable to watch videos or communicate externally. If someone discovers us, we should say we are his niece's relatives... Did I say something? I hope it didn't implicate Mr. Jeske
After Li Zixing regained control of the Martian colonial government, he announced to human society that the Martian colony would inherit the ruling power of THG. The Earth Parliament has yet to respond, while Eden continues to assert its desire for independence. The Martian THG government opposes Eden's attempts at independence, and the Earth Parliament has begun to tacitly implement a trade and technology blockade against Eden.
The eyes of middle age gradually regained their luster, seeing themselves surrounded by police on a chair, nervously glancing around, swallowing hard in confusion
Han Shuxiao said: "But that was what you said yourself. After work, I will prepare well and come to find you!"
He thought and said to the officers, "Take them back and take good care of these children." Pointing at Chen Yu, he naturally regarded her as one of the little kids as well
After speaking, he ignored the dissatisfaction on Chen Yu's face, who seemed to want to say something but hesitated. He took the lead and walked towards the door, while the deputy captain beside him said, "Captain, they are just children..."
Five plainclothes police officers slowly approached the middle-aged man, inadvertently surrounding him in the center. A special anesthetic was released, and a few seconds later, the five individuals escorted the dazed middle-aged man into the rest area
"Excuse me, may I ask what exactly is the matter?" the girl stammered.
Han nodded slightly and said, "Alright, but it will take a long time; by then, you will be asleep!"
Chen Yu certainly said: "Last night, he was discussing something with a man in the inner room"
Han Shuyi has verified that there are no suspicious aspects, but how did these Earth exiles end up in the home of a religious figure? He then pointed at several children and asked again: "You say they came to Mars to find their relatives? Then how did they end up here, where Jeske has opened a welfare institution?" Yet, he was thinking to himself: a bomb manufacturing factory
On Han Shu's communicator, Li Xiaoya was discussing with Han Shu: "Han Shu, let's go have a late-night snack together after work!"
It is not that his head is hard, nor can Shen Yi blow his head off; it is simply that this fellow runs fast. Before Shen Yi could reach him, he was struck down by Huilongjun. This guy also suffered a concussion and was in a coma for two days, essentially in a vegetative state, but in the end, he woke up.
The girl whispered: "Chen Yu, identity number CYH......"
Han Shu glanced at the bomb, which was nearly ready, and casually remarked: "I am just here to read the water meter, do you believe it?"
Han leaned back in his chair, tilting his head and asking listlessly: "Will you confess on your own, or should I use the truth serum? But let me clarify first, only I have the authority to use the truth serum here. I received an F grade in my medical elective assessment during school, and you are my first potential test subject. There will be no place for appeals if you end up as an idiot, so think it over carefully!"
Han Shuyi pursed her lips, is this room another world? She asked: "How long have you been on Mars?"
The Eden has organized a self-defense militia.
The children of the officials of the Earth Parliament seem to be quite pitiful. After the restoration of the unified government, there is a degree of tolerance towards the Earth Parliament, but for those who had persecuted THG officials during the early days of the Parliament, the treatment is as cold as an autumn wind
In the Martian colony, the artificial sky above began to display a dazzling array of illusory fireworks. The colonists celebrated in the streets, singing and dancing joyfully, relishing the rare opportunity of the curfew being lifted.
Uh, Han was left speechless, it really is a cannon fodder training program
Chen Yu suddenly became invigorated, looked up, clasped his hands into fists, and said with great admiration: "Of course, I am a believer! However, I am far from being as devout as Mr. Jesk. He explains the doctrines and scriptures to us every day and prays sincerely no matter how busy he is. Kindness and justice in service to God are the fundamental beliefs of a believer. Mr. Jesk leads by example and has inspired me and several children; he is also our godfather!"
The plainclothes officer nodded, turned around, and closed the door. Terrorists attempting to carry out bombing attacks in crowded areas are swiftly and strictly sentenced to death by THG, as marked by the seal on the judgment. This is a secret unknown to the ordinary citizens
"Enough, stop pretending, voluntarily disclose where your accomplices are?" Han Shu is not a novice; which villain would admit to being a villain? He is preoccupied with finishing work and celebrating New Year's Eve with Li Xiaoya, and time is of the essence
The alloy urn is printed with the flag of THG, and on Nock's alloy tombstone, there is an inscription that reads: "Nock Lan, the freedom fighter of the Unified Human Government, lies here in eternal slumber"
The middle-aged man across from me had beads of sweat forming on his forehead. After a struggle, he licked his lips and stammered, "I will speak. I will speak, I was also forced! They are..."
Han Shu leaned against the outer wall of the rest area, watching several young girls holding hands, dancing an unknown dance, and singing an unknown joyful song. The people nearby were cheering and laughing, with some joining in to enhance the atmosphere of joy.
The young girl defended herself, saying, "It is not like that. Mr. Jesk is a good man. He took me and the children in and helped the children find their relatives!" Her anxious eyes were accompanied by a tense voice
In this turbulent situation, humanity approaches the New Year of divine punishment after sixteen years
The Tiangong Fortress has announced its allegiance to the Mars THG government, which subsequently declared its intention to suppress the independent government of Eden Space City
The girl stared blankly at the explosive bomb attached to the door. Han Shu leaned in to observe the room; there was no movement. He smiled and said, "It's nothing, just a precaution. As for the one behind it, take it apart."
Arrange the monitoring personnel for the stair exits of the building. Han Shu took ten people into the elevator. The suspect's stronghold is on the 170th floor, which is the residence of a former member of parliament and currently a consultant for the THG government. It seems that this veteran of two administrations is still a devout religious believer!
Of course, he is now locked away in a corner of which he knows nothing
Two police officers hurriedly went up to get busy
I know," Han Shu responded coldly
The girl lowered her head and pondered for a moment, when suddenly, with a "ding," the door opened, startling Han Shu and the others, causing Qi to step back with his gun.
A flush of red spread across the girl's face as she hurriedly explained, "No, they are not my children; they are orphans who have traveled from Earth to Mars in search of their relatives"
At this moment, the police had finished searching the room, nearly turning the floor upside down. They shook their heads at Han Shu.
Han Shuxie smiled wickedly and said, "What do you think?" Li Xiaoya looked up in contemplation and replied in confusion, "I don't understand"
Now THG has resurrected in human society like an immortal monster
fifteen minutes later
Chen Yu shook her head and said, "No, isn't it the parliament now? Anyway, um, um, their parents are, are, are officials of THG..." Her voice was so faint it was almost like the chirping of insects
This is an era of social surveillance, yet it is also one marked by the existence of privileges. For instance, the upscale residential building in front of Han Shu may have its own surveillance system, but it is unlikely to be connected to the government's security network. The S Building, where over 100 people died last month, is one such example
Han impatiently said: "Name? Identity verification number?"
Han Shu and others' memories momentarily returned to their childhood, when a group of orphans stood before the THG flag, pledging to join the THG reserves.
The young girl hesitated and said, "Well, their parents were officials of the former government." Han Shuyi was taken aback, furrowing his brows as he replied, "The former government? The Earth Parliament?"
Stripped him of everything, rummaged through the backpack and found several sticks of explosives, which were homemade and made of very old gunpowder, and then bound him to the chair
The young girl nervously tugged at the hem of her clothing, engaging in the silent act of valuing silence. Those innocent and bewildered big eyes made Han feel a sense of guilt.
Li Xiaoya asked in confusion: "What are we preparing for?"
However, she still harbored a glimmer of hope and said, "Officer, could there be a mistake? This is Mr. Jeske's home, and he is a government ... ... "
The girl remained silent, and the police had not made any discoveries. She seemed to be just an innocent bystander without any issues.
The THG regulations imply that those labeled as terrorists are devoid of the right to a fair trial, which essentially means a denial of human rights. Once an individual is classified as a terrorist, the minimum penalty is life imprisonment.
Han Shu smiled at Chen Yu after listening, remaining silent as he unabashedly gazed at her adorable face. Chen Yu, feeling shy under his unreserved scrutiny, lowered her head and asked, "Officer, is there something wrong?"
