Chapter 456 Debate in the Great Hall
Standing outside the Great Hall of the Witch Hunter Headquarters, Jiang Chengyong was waiting anxiously.
He is not a deacon, nor even he is a witch hunter. He is not qualified to participate in the meeting of the Supreme Authority of the witch hunter. He cannot listen to it, and can only wait outside honestly.
The meeting in the Great Hall has been held for two hours, and Jiang Chengyong can't hear any news, so he can only be anxious.
With a squeak, the door of the Great Hall was pushed open from the inside. Jiang Chengyong looked inward at the door, and after a moment, he saw Sun Zheng's figure.
"Mr. Sun, Mr. Sun, please stay." Young Master Jiang hurriedly squeezed to Sun Zheng and asked, "How is the situation?"
Sun Zheng shook his head and said with a not-so-looking face: "It's still an intermission at the meeting. The proposal you want to advance has only been discussed for half an hour, and there has not been a definite result yet. But..."
The words "but" made Jiang Chengyong's heart sink.
Sun Zheng sighed and continued, "But the situation is bad, you must be mentally prepared for failure."
"Please do your best, Mr. Sun."
"I can do it." Sun Zheng glanced around and asked again: "Why didn't you see Li Wei?"
Jiang Chengyong said helplessly: "He said he was not a deacon, and if he couldn't attend this meeting, he wouldn't come."
"This guy..." Sun Zheng was a little angry. He was entrusted by Li Wei and made generous speeches at the deacon conference to fight against many opponents, and he was verbally criticized. As a result, the guy didn't even come to the scene.
...
The intermission of the meeting is not a real rest. With the energy of a group of evolutionists, you won’t be exhausted if you hold a meeting for two or three hours. This so-called intermission is more like giving everyone a private contact time when there is no result in an important meeting or important topics.
Perhaps, communicating with each other privately about more complex and more anxious interests will help the deadlocked meeting to make breakthrough progress, which is also the wisdom of the witch hunters.
Soon, the rest time in the middle lasted for more than 40 minutes. Soon, as the bells in the Great Hall rang, the deacons returned to the hall one after another, and the tormented negotiations began again.
A female senior deacon stood up, which was one of the achievements of Sun Zheng during the intermission of more than 40 minutes just now. He convinced a senior deacon who already agreed with his own views, making her attitude more determined and willing to charge in the meeting.
After the female senior deacon finished speaking, several deacons stood up immediately, with a much higher number than in the first half.
At the same time, Etihad and Orrison also spoke out at the same time.
The two deacons had a much greater say. For a moment, the party who agreed with the "proposal" instantly became more powerful at the beginning of the second half, and seemed to reverse the decline in the first half.
But after He Chengming stood up, all this disappeared like a bubble in the sun.
"It's all nonsense!"
Once the four words were spoken, it suppressed the audience. If you want to speak loudly, few people can compare to this old man.
He Chengming is 96 years old this year. He has a strong body and a gray hair and beard that makes people almost unable to see his true appearance. He is wearing a white robe and a crutch in his hand.
When he was young, he was also a famous figure on the factor list.
The physical aging speed of the elementary strong people is slower than that of ordinary people. Normal humans begin to enter a more obvious aging period when they are almost in their fifties, while the elementary strong people basically have to reach seventy years old.
This old man was famous for his hot temper when he was young. When he was old, his body was not as good as before, but his temper was more irritable than before.
"Why do you say that mutants are humans like us? Listen to this! Those monsters with rat heads and lizard heads cannot control their emotions, bloodthirsty monsters, do you actually call them 'human'?"
"Sun Zheng! You said that the Heiqiushan Guild recruited a large number of mutants to join the witch hunter team. Why did this matter be implemented without the consent of the Deacon Conference? This is a blasphemy of the witch hunter tradition! Why does Weber have such power? Who gave this power to him?"
"The mission of hunting mutants is abolished, so I ask you, who will take care of those things that we often hear about in a village or a community where furious mutants hurt and kill people? Do you have to rely on the corrupt police in the Kingdom of Wiesdum to deal with this matter?"
"There are also people who say that these hunting missions are just a little money, and don't mention money for now. Are these disasters not our witch hunter job?"
"Besides, even from an economic perspective, can this money be given up as you said? How many lower-level hunters rely on these small tasks to accumulate experience and make money to live? Just one word will cut off the way for so many people?"
...
The passionate and impulsiveness made many people say nothing.
In fact, his words were not without room for refutation. However, people with a status that was not as high as him, including Sun Zheng, did not dare to speak up against him. The deacon, who had the same status as him, did not want to make the scene too ugly. After all, this matter had nothing to do with his own personal interests.
So, the scene became a little embarrassed. The party who agreed with the proposal seemed to be suppressed by He Chengming alone.
It was quite a bit of a painful blow to the dog. He Chengming, the deacons who had just been suppressed, followed him and spoke out. For a moment, the west wind overwhelmed the east wind, and the situation completely reversed.
When both sides were hard to argue and He Chengming's side began to gain the upper hand, Sun Zheng quickly found that something was wrong. Many of his own people began to shake. Some fencemen quickly swayed towards each other under a huge momentum, and even some people who were originally standing in favor of one side became shaken.
But Sun Zheng had no good idea and could not think of any words. He could only look at Orison and Etihad with a look of help.
Both of them saw his gaze, but they could only shake their heads and show that they could not help.
Finally, when another originally neutral deacon began to gradually stand on He Chengming's side, Sun Zheng's eyes finally gradually became desperate.
His eyes looked outside the hall, and he apologized to Jiang Chengyong and Li Wei in his heart: "There is no choice, I have tried my best..."
And just then, he saw that the door of the Great Hall was suddenly pushed open, and Li Wei walked in with great strides.
