I Really Am Not The Lord of Demon Chapter 198

It was another boring morning.

Ling Pingan sat at the counter, munching on the steamed dumplings.

The voice of a well-dressed old man came from the television in front of him.

“The current Federal Empire has reached a critical moment…”

“In society, the rules are often lax. Many young people don't even read books and classics anymore…”

“That's not a good phenomenon.”

The old man was heartbroken, and his expression was one of disappointment.

Opposite him, a man in a formal suit and tie chuckled and said, “What Mr. Zhang said is wrong!”

“Confucius once said, 'If you can one day renovate yourself, do so from day to day and let there be daily renovation.'”

“The book of poems says, 'Although Zhou was an ancient state, it had a reform mission!'”

“Of course, the tradition is good… but young people have their thoughts…”

“Wasn't you very trendy too when you were young, Mr. Zhang?”

As the man spoke, he took out an old photo album.

The photos on the album recorded the image of a young man from twenty to thirty years ago.

In some photos, he wore sunglasses and sat on the yacht with beautiful ladies in his arms.

In some other photos, he had his hair slicked back and had a proud posture as he sat in the bar.

There were even pictures of him sitting in the game center with a cigarette in his mouth, playing games.

There were also pictures of him on a rock-and-roll stage, singing without restraint.

From his appearance, one could vaguely tell that he was the old man, who wore the traditional scholar suit and had a serious look on his face.

When Ling Pingan saw this, he burst into laughter.

“I can't believe that the famous scholar of the Gonghe Party, Grand Scholar Zhang Andao, looked like this when he was young!”

The old man on TV didn't panic at all.

“When I was young, I once indulged myself and almost lost myself in material desires…” he said unhurriedly, “Therefore after I came to my senses, I knew that the only thing that could save our souls was the thought of shining souls in traditional culture!”

“No matter how long this world has developed, I always thought that we must respect tradition and culture!”

Seeing that, Ling Pingan turned off the television.

He shook his head and leaned back in his chair.

“It has already begun…”

“The election once every four years…”

Without a doubt, the quarrel on the television just now was the outpost before the election.

The Gonghe Party and the Datong Party had already begun to release preludes to test the public.

To test the general preferences and opinions of the current public.

Only then could they formulate a corresponding general election strategy.

In the next few months, it was likely that the television would be filled with similar programs and voices.

Especially an unstable governor's district like Guangnan would directly become a disaster area!

For the sake of the 85 votes in the Governor of Guangnan's office, the Datong Party and the Gonghe party would be fighting each other there.

However…

Such a program was boring and uninteresting for people like Ling Pingan.

After all, he didn't even be bothered to participate in the voting.

He was born not to like these verbal arguments.

“Forget about these things…” he said, “I will just think about how to write a new book!”

Therefore, the young web author opened the web page and started to read the most popular books on the web.

He would try to improve himself by reading other's novels!

In the underground isolation room of the guest room in the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Lanfang Gonghe.

Li Anan opened her eyes.

Her eyes were flowing with light.

She stretched out her hands. Her fair and flawless hands were soft and boneless, looking extremely beautiful.

She stood up and felt the psionic energy in her body!

“I've finally become a major!” She clenched her fists and was overjoyed.

From a captain to a major, it was a qualitative leap!

A captain could only fight against an infantry company, while a major could escape unscathed under the encirclement of a battalion.

It was said in the legend of the Blackguard that every colonel saw the doctor in the mirror.

That was because above the colonel level was the traditional doctor level.

Their strength and ability had pulled away from the officers!

The officers retired from the army and changed careers. When they arrived, they would be elected as representatives of the local Doctor Council.

They would be able to serve as administrative officials of a region with a population of one million.

Ever since the recovery of the psionic energy, all the cabinet ministers and secondary officials of the federal empire had been selected from the retired Blackguard officers.

Of course, the Blackguard also had an unspoken rule: Generals were not allowed to interfere in politics!

That was a rule set by the high emperor!

The strength that was too strong was not allowed to directly interfere in government affairs!

Otherwise, it would be too dangerous!

However, Li Anan did not think so far ahead.

She was immersed in the joy of finally advancing.

Therefore, she impatiently walked out of the underground isolation room, took the elevator, and went to the upper level. Then, she called her best friend, “Weiwei!”

“I have advanced a level!”She said excitedly.

On the other end of the phone, a young girl's surprised voice came, “Captain, you've advanced!”

“So fast… that's great!”

“Let's celebrate!”

“Of course!” Li Anan said proudly, “Let's go. Today's treat is on me. Choose any high-class restaurant in Lanfang!”

After two days of isolation, she felt a little hungry too.

“Unfortunately…”

“My nephew is too far away…” the major that had recently advanced thought, “Otherwise, I would have asked him to make me a table full of delicious food!”

Thinking of her nephew's delicious food, the major drooled.

“Sigh…” the young major sighed, “If I knew this would happen, I wouldn't have gone back last time…”

“If that's the case, I'll have more holidays this time…”

“I can lie down and eat and drink comfortably in Jiangcheng city for more than half a month!”

Unfortunately, she had already gone back once.

If she went back again in the short term…

Little Pingan would probably get angry!

She knew her nephew's personality too well. After all, they had been friends since they were young.

If she went back frequently to pick on him, it would only cause the quality of the dishes to drop!

Perhaps, in the end, Little Pingan might as well let go of everything and order takeout every day!

She would no longer be able to eat his roasted meat and drink the fine wine!

It was not worth it! It was not worth it!

She still had to pay attention to the long-term benefits!

Situ He sat in the cultivation room.

He circulated the psionic energy in his body and revised through his aura bit by bit according to the records in 'Ghosts and Souls'.

After more than half a month of practice, he has gradually stepped into the state and had the initial glimpse of some ways!

He mastered a few brand-new occult skills.

His spirits were stronger than ever.

Now, like the commander-in-chief, he could listen to a whole spiritual speech at a time without any pressure!

Beyond that, the biggest change was that he could multitask!

Now, he could cultivate while dealing with all kinds of affairs without any delay.

Therefore, he opened the computer in front of him.

He opened the documents one by one.

They were mostly trivial matters.

The daily reports of extraordinary humans and foreign species in Jiangcheng city…

The changes in the frequency of psionic energy tides in the Guangnan region…

And the daily reports of the Blackguard Headquarters' global special affairs.

He only needed to glance through it and had the way to deal with the matter in mind.

Suddenly!

When he saw a document, his mind was disturbed, and his cultivation stopped.

“Captain Li Anan was promoted to major!” That was the title of the document!

After thinking for a moment, Situ He immediately picked up his phone and dialed the number of the commander-in-chief.

“Commander-in-chief…” when the call was connected, he immediately asked, “Do you know?”

“Yes!” The voice of the commander-in-chief sounded from the other end of the phone.

“I've already sent a message to the person-in-charge of Lanfang's branch to send a congratulatory letter in my name!”

The promotion of the living Koi was not an ordinary captain to a major.

Her promotion had directly contributed fourteen lieutenant generals and above ranks to the Federal Empire!

The country's transcendent being's strength had skyrocketed!

Then, if she were to advance to the rank of lieutenant colonel, colonel, or even general?

How much benefit would the federal empire receive?

How much benefit would they, the agents, receive?

In any case, on this matter, all the insiders (Li Shouyi, Situ He, and Zhang Hui) were filled with energy.

If it weren't for that person, they would have even wanted to tie Captain Li Anan up in the cultivation room and force her to train hard!

They wouldn't have let her out if she hadn't reached the general level!

Unfortunately, they didn't have the guts to do so!

“Commander-in-chief…” Situ He thought for a moment and asked, “Should we reveal some of this information to that person?”

It was obvious that they wanted to take the opportunity to get close to him and even think of a way to get a meal!

How could Li Shouyi not know?

He smiled. “I don't think so…”

“The trace of man-made was obvious. He won't like It!”

“Let nature take its course!”

“Yes!” Situ He nodded.

“By the way!” Li Shouyi suddenly asked on the phone, “Are you ready for this year's election?”

“Reporting to the commander-in-chief, the safety of the entire Guangnan Governor District is guaranteed!”

“Please rest assured!” Situ He patted his chest and spoke.

He had recently cultivated another secret technique.

That made his paper figurine different from the past. It was no longer the paper figurine that could only be used for scouting.

His paper figurine was now able to command people like him. It could even fight and cast spells like him!

As long as there was a need, he would immediately split into hundreds of paper figurines to guard the various places.

Once he discovered the evil and scheming, his main body could use another secret technique to instantly descend and kill the evil!

It was much more useful!

Other than consuming too much energy, there were almost no flaws!

“That's not what I'm talking about!”

“I'm talking about the super votes…”

Super votes were the unspoken rules of the Federal Empire.

Although the Magna Carta stipulated that everyone was equal.

There were always some people who had special privileges.

For example, the lieutenant of the Blackguard had ten votes more than a commoner, and the colonel had a hundred to five hundred votes!

One vote from a general was equivalent to tens of thousands of votes!

For example, if Li Shouyi wanted to vote, he could decide the outcome with one vote!

However…

The Blackguard had a rule: All active members of the Blackguard were prohibited from participating in politics, and were prohibited from publicly expressing their opinions about the government and the opposition. At the same time, they were not allowed to participate in voting in principle.

That was because the mission and responsibility of the Blackguard were to protect and defend!

They could not be both athletes and referees.

If they did, it would destroy and tear apart the entire country.

However, retired people, transcendent beings, and foreign species in the wilderness were different.

They followed the laws and regulations, so they had to be respected. It was impossible to deprive them of their rights.

On the contrary, they had to respect their legitimate rights. (of course, the Blackguard would try their best to persuade and persuade them to use their rights carefully! Under normal circumstances, most people would accept the Blackguard's advice and use their rights carefully!)

Situ He listened and knew that Li Shouyi was not referring to the registered extraordinary humans and foreign species in the Guangnan region.

He was referring to the 'ordinary citizen' who was wandering outside.

“Commander-in-chief…” Situ He asked carefully, “What do you mean?”

“What I mean is…”

“If he participates in the voting…”

“The weight will be regarded as emperor-level!”

“Emperor-level!?” Situ He took a deep breath.

There were only three emperor-level voters in the federal empire.

One was the commander-in-chief on the other end of the phone.

The other was the Emperor of the Empire!

And the other was the former commander-in-chief of the Blackguard who had lived in seclusion for a long time.

And none of these three people would participate in the voting.

So…

He gulped.

“Will this affect too much?” Situ He asked, “Maybe he won't like it either…”

An emperor-level vote determined the universe with one vote!

It was not that an emperor-level vote could hold many votes. In fact, an emperor-level vote was only equivalent to one vote in the system.

A vote that went back to the basics!

Because, if the emperor-level came out to vote, it meant that he had made up his mind to support someone.

Then, the side that he supported would automatically win!

Because the other side would immediately admit defeat!

No one dared to go against the will of an emperor!

That was too terrifying!

Who would dare to provoke the imperial family?

Who would dare to provoke the other two who represented the will of the entire Blackguard?

Could they win?

If they couldn't win, they should just admit defeat!

Fortunately, in history, the Emperor had never gone to vote.

Their existence was a deterrent, both to the Gonghe party and to the Datong Party!

It was to prevent these two parties from going to extremes and playing with the populace.

It was to entertain important matters of the country and make serious matters funny.

The Datong Party and the Gonghe party were well aware of this.

However, if an Emperor-level voter suddenly appeared and could vote freely, or even without a tacit agreement.

If he voted, any vote, wasn't that…

More importantly, he might accidentally flatter the horse!

However, he had to be given a high position!

If he voted and found that the result was not as good as he wanted.

Then he would flip the table, and that would anger him! Stop playing! Let's have fun together!

It was not impossible.

After all, no one knew his intentions.

They did not even dare to probe and could only carefully observe.

Therefore, there was a long period of silence on the other end of the phone.

After a long time, the commander-in-chief said, “I've checked…”

“Since he registered, the target has never participated in the voting…”

This was a very normal situation. The people of the Federal Empire, before the age of 30 were almost not enthusiastic about this kind of thing.

The voting rate of young people under the age of 25 was below 20% all year round!

After the age of 30, they suddenly began to care about these things.

The voting rate rose steadily.

That was also the reason why Guangnan became a swing zone. The population structure was too young, and young people could do anything if they were hot-headed!

But when it appeared on the target, it had a different meaning.

“So…” Situ He asked, “You mean…”

“I mean, hide the target's weight…”

“If he votes, it will not be made public, but we need to know at the first moment!”

“Then, the weight will fluctuate according to the test situation…”

The meaning was very simple. They would arrange it according to his mood.

If he was very concerned, invite the reclusive former commander-in-chief to come out and vote.

If he was generally concerned, arranged for a blackguard general to express his position.

If he was not very concerned, arrange for a colonel-level general to vote for him.

Of course, he had better not vote.

Because it was really difficult and dangerous to guess his thoughts!

“Also…” Li Shouyi's voice continued, “Situ, spread some news out…”

“Give a vague hint to the two parties…”

“There might be important people among the super voters in Guangnan…”

“The kind that decides one district with one vote…”

“But remember not to leave any evidence…”

Situ He listened and nodded, “I understand!”

He put down the phone and took a deep breath.

“Everyone thinks that I'm here to be the emperor of Guangnan…” he sighed, “But I'm just here to be a person who does things for others…”

He didn't just have to keep an eye on that person all the time.

He also had to pay attention to the entire Guangnan twenty-four hours a day.

To prevent anything from happening and some ignorant guy would appear to clash with him!

He was now carefully observing his attitude.

“Sigh…” the general of the Blackguard sighed. “Taizu had once said, 'Bow your head and be willing to serve your child like an ox…'”

“It was probably saying such a person like me!”
