Chapter 906 - The Name On The Black Screen

Wang Shengzhi had been to the Northwest to discuss his future plans with Zhang Jinglin in detail and told him frankly that he was suffering from a terminal illness.

In Wang Shengzhi's plan, he had never intended to take control of the world for himself. That was because the world did not leave him with enough time.

But he needed someone who could take control of the world, someone who could work peacefully with the artificial intelligence and was willing to accept checks and balances put in place by it.

"Are you really going to hand over authority to someone else?" Yang Anjing was puzzled. "Do you think Qing Zhen will accept your conditions?"

"I just want to hand over the legislative and judicial rights to Zero." Wang Shengzhi said with a smile, "But the bulk of human society should still be managed by humans. It's just that this is a transition period, so Zero will have more tasks to handle. But after there's peace again, Zero should resume its original responsibilities."

Yang Anjing understood that Wang Shengzhi was trying to make Zero the sword of Damocles that could oversee a completely fair and just judicial system. As long as it was under this premise, his past experiences and the injustice faced by millions of people would not happen again.

As for the rest of the governing responsibilities, it would be better if Zero did not handle them after peace returned.

"Is it worth it?" Yang Anjing asked softly.

"Yes," Wang Shengzhi said firmly. "Did you know, Little Jing? The despicable acts I detested in the past are still happening today. Perhaps those who wielded power thousands of years ago also exploited others like this and escaped the clutches of the law. It's still the same situation in current times.

"The true tragedy of humanity is definitely not a person experiencing 10,000 injustices but that countless people have experienced the same kind of injustice 10,000 times without any change."

"Do you think Qing Zhen will agree to your conditions? You also saw things for yourself when you went to the Southwest. His attitude was very firm," Yang Anjing said.

After leaving the Northwest, Wang Shengzhi wanted to go to the Southwest to see Qing Zhen again after realizing he could not convince Zhang Jinglin. He did not even bring any troops with him at the time. If Qing Zhen wanted to kill him, it would have been too easy.

But before they could enter the Southwest's border, they were stopped by the Qing Consortium's troops and prohibited from entering.

Qing Zhen's attitude was so firm there was no room for negotiation.

"He might not have been willing to talk in the past." Wang Shengzhi said, "But after the nuclear test site is gone, he might be willing to start negotiating, because he'll no longer have any bargaining chips left."

"Zero observed that a rocket was fired into space from the nuclear test site." Yang Anjing said, "At first, I thought it was a nuclear bomb launched straight at the expeditionary army, but I realized later that it wasn't. That rocket flew directly into space and went out of Zero's observation range."

"Zero assessed that the Qing Consortium probably launched a satellite this time." Wang Shengzhi said, "They are probably preparing for future wars with the launch. Unfortunately, we infiltrated the Qinghe satellites a little late. I wonder what else the Qing Consortium has done before this. However, it's not a big problem. All we need to do now is to destroy the biggest bargaining chip that Qing Zhen has."

At this moment, there was a black screen set up in the research and development center. From time to time, specific information about some people would get displayed on it. After that, the staff working here would pass the information to the Public Order Division for them to handle.

The people whose information appeared on the screen could be thieves or even domestic abusers, but no matter how minor the matter was, Zero would make a request for the Public Order Division to handle it.

Before this, domestic violence had always been a very difficult problem to solve. There were all kinds of issues, and the Public Order Division would always prioritize mediation in most cases.

But now the abusers would get punished the moment they were found out. After examining the injuries, regardless of whether it happened between a husband and wife, the accused would be charged with causing intentional injury and be given a higher sentence.

The reason for the higher sentence was that the abuser would even hurt those who were closest to them, so it showed they were extremely dangerous and had a sociopathic personality. It was just that they did not dare to reveal it.

The artificial intelligence received a lot of praise for this, to say nothing of other affairs.

During this period, the Public Order Division arrested a lot of people, including some members of the Wang Consortium. It was as though they had become the "Eastern Depot" and the "Embroidered Uniform Guard" of the Wang Consortium with the imperial authority to act first and explain later.

Immediately, many of the Wang Consortium's big shots started becoming respectful towards the director of the Public Order Division like never before.

As a matter of fact, even though the Public Order Division used to be in charge of keeping the peace in society, ensuring the safety of public property, and punishing criminals, would they dare to interfere if it were someone from the Wang Consortium that had committed a crime?

But it was different now. It was as though the Public Order Division had suddenly become the department with the most authority. This made the director of the Public Order Division look very pleased with himself.

However, before the director of the Public Order Division could bask in his glory for a few days, Zero detained him for 15 days on a driving while intoxicated charge. He ended up getting fired and had to pay a fine of 5,000 yuan.

This was probably a case of sorrow succeeding extreme joy. The director of the Public Order Division used his position and executed Zero's orders with the highest authority. As time passed, he began to think he was the one who possessed this power.

When Wang Shengzhi found out about this, he only smiled. This was the usefulness of having Zero since it judged matters with absolute fairness.

Even if it were Wang Shengzhi who broke the law, he would still have to be punished.

At this moment, Yang Anjing said to him, "I received news from Wang Huaizheng that Jiang Xu's mind is made up. He's definitely going to continue with his reports aimed at the Wang Consortium."

Wang Shengzhi was silent for a moment. "That can't be helped then."

"But there has also been some veiled talk within the Wang Consortium these days." Yang Anjing said, "There's some differing voices within the organization that don't agree with the Wang Consortium going on like this anymore. Many of them have labeled the Wang Consortium as a group that would resort to any means necessary to achieve their ultimate goal. Some even said that your wheelchair is stained with the blood of others."

Wang Shengzhi smiled and said, "Let them say what they want. It won't change the outcome. But be careful. There must be people from the Zhou Consortium behind this stirring trouble. We have to find them first."

"Then are we going to bother with Jiang Xu?" Yang Anjing asked.

"Have Vanilla remain behind in Luoyang City." Wang Shengzhi thought for a moment and said, "Your top priority now is to resolve the Qing Consortium problem. As for the rest, we can talk about it later."

Suddenly, a staff member stopped in their tracks below the black screen in the research and development center.

Words kept appearing on the black screen, and they turned out to be an account of Jiang Xu's life!

The last time the black screen caused a commotion was due to Kong Erdong's name appearing on it.

When Kong Erdong's name was displayed on the black screen back then, it took several thousand words to describe the crimes he had committed.

But this time, Zero did not state any of Jiang Xu's crimes. It was as though even Zero was unable to find any of Jiang Xu's criminal wrongdoings.

Silently, Wang Shengzhi looked seriously at the screen and realized what was about to happen. However, he suddenly felt a little hesitant. When Jiang Xu's name appeared on the black screen, he was a little unsure if what he had done was right or not.

Yang Anjing looked at the screen quietly until only the words "Jiang Xu" were left on it.
