Chapter 3155: Clear Objectives, Pointing Directly to the Artifact Project

As soon as Xia Duo mentioned going to the Arvandor Shenguo to investigate the souls of the deceased, Aosi reacted as if a kitten had stepped on its tail, immediately jumping up:

"Those Mages suffered such tragedies while alive; is it possible that they cannot even find peace after death, and must endure their most miserable experiences from life once more?"

There was nothing inherently wrong with what Aosi said; for a soul to recall its life is indeed equivalent to experiencing death all over again, but—

This applies to souls that died normally. If they are souls that died abnormally, wouldn't they wish to find the true culprit who killed them?

In order to find the true culprit, I fear most souls who died abnormally would gladly endure death many times over!

Therefore, using the peace of the dead as an excuse is highly unreasonable. This is also similar to what Xia Duo said before—is it acceptable to have a result (targeted at him), regardless of whether that result is the truth?

Thus, after rejecting the investigation of the souls of the dead, the ulterior motives of Aosi, or rather the Yierlan side, became clear: they want to pin these death incidents on the Computing Power Pool and on Xia Duo!

In this situation, as the Zhuren Speaker for this month, Enjier naturally had to stand up to uphold justice—or rather, to maintain the order of the Alliance. He directly threw the question to the Yierlan representative:

"Ambassador Aosi, are you requesting that the Alliance send an investigation team to Yierlan to investigate the recent abnormal deaths of Computing Power Pool users?"

"Yes, I am requesting it."

……

"This is not that the Computing Power Pool is not as dangerous as Consultant Xia Shao promised; there still exist many, minor hidden dangers. The previous Psionic Mage invasion proved this point well."

Xia Shao actually does not completely reject unilateral investigation results; what he rejects are unilateral investigation results that do not allow for questioning.

"The reason why various regions and countries have formulated regulations for joint investigations is precisely because the results of a joint investigation can be questioned and verified repeatedly. In such a situation, the final result will certainly be accepted by the vast majority and will be the closest to the truth."

Xia Shao had indeed made some promises regarding the safety and even privacy of the Computing Power Pool, but his promises absolutely did not include the clause 'no accidents will occur'.

Questioning is inherently the business of others and has nothing to do with the investigating party, but to forbid the questioning of others shows that the investigating party has absolutely no credibility at all.

And to cultivate truly reliable Psionic Mages, the (generally accepted) prerequisite is to possess a Psionic Artifact. If this Psionic Artifact can also incidentally expand the boundaries of Arcane Magic, that would be even better.

But Xia Shao did not refute the content he had previously promised. He had no need to be led by the nose by the other party and fall into the trap of self-justification. He still questioned the investigation findings of the Aosi side just as before:

The situation this time is exactly like this—Aosi provides the investigation results while also welcoming the various countries of the Alliance to send a joint investigation team to conduct a second investigation.

"It is not superfluous; reasonable questioning is your right." Enjier, as the Zhuren Speaker, gave a clear answer to the questioning from Yierlantusi.

"Until now, those affected Mages have yet to recover! The recent death incidents occurring within Aosi seem to be a new signal."

And isn't this Kalishi's New Artifact Project!

In that case, even if a second investigation has not yet been conducted, Xia Shao would still be more inclined to believe Aosi.

These words immediately caused Xia Shao to laugh out loud. Under the gaze of Yierlantusi's gradually chilling eyes, Xia Shao explained unhurriedly:

"Whether the true cause of death for those Mages was a Mind Blast requires further investigation by the joint investigation team. I remind Ambassador Yierlantusi again: please respect the rules of the Alliance and do not casually say things that have no basis."

"What kind of Mind Blast could be strong enough to kill an Elite Mage with multiple layers of Protection in one strike?" Yierlantusi immediately raised a question, saying with incomparable certainty, "Only the Computing Power Pool has such capability!"

After all, Xia Shao's reputation since he debuted has been quite solid, and his style of conduct is known to the vast majority of Elf Mages, not to mention that these death incidents all occurred in Yierlan; it is truly very difficult to explain them as Computing Power Pool accidents.

This point is also a fact, because Xia Shao had already demonstrated such capability during the previous Psionic Mage invasion incident, but Xia Shao completely ignored such overly subjective judgments:

He finally saw it clearly: Aosi is now stubbornly trying to drag in the safety of the Computing Power Pool to pave the way for proposing the cultivation of Psionic Mages later.

This point was also unanimously agreed upon by the other representatives, and even Xia Shao did not raise any objections.

In this situation, Yierlantusi didn't even have the qualification to say no and could only agree. If he didn't agree, then in the eyes of various countries, it wouldn't just be as simple as framing the Computing Power Pool; it would be even more likely to spread rumors that Aosi harmed its own people to frame the Computing Power Pool.

Having been neutralized by Xia Shao according to the Alliance rules twice in a row, Yierlantusi appeared strong on the surface, but inside he could not help but feel some panic. If the situation continued like this, then this meeting would have been called in vain.

"The cause of death for those Mages will be investigated by the joint investigation team, but they all died while connected to the Computing Power Pool. This is a basic fact. Even if they didn't die because of a Computing Power Pool accident, the Computing Power Pool is still the medium for the culprit's attack. In this situation, can the safety of the Computing Power Pool that you promised still be trusted?"

One must know that among these few incidents, there was one rather special deceased person who was the only son of a high-level Mage. Perhaps they are currently preparing to avenge their child. Once such a rumor spreads, its credibility would be far more believable than the idea that the Computing Power Pool itself has problems.

Regarding the confrontation over the recent accidental death incidents of Aosi Computing Power Pool users being temporarily shelved, Yierlantusi still did not want to let Xia Shao go. He pointed at Xia Shao and launched an accusation again:

"On what basis do you say the Computing Power Pool is the medium for the culprit's attack? Right now, it is not even certain whether they died from a Mind Blast!"

"And judging from the performance of Ambassador Yierlantusi, it seems the investigation results of the Gaoshu Elder Council are completely beyond question, completely whatever you say is what it is. In this situation, how do you expect everyone to trust your investigation results?"

This is the difference between allowing questioning and not allowing it.

"In this situation, as the Aosi representative to the Alliance, is my questioning of the safety of the Computing Power Pool not superfluous?"

Being reminded by Xia Shao repeatedly, Yierlantusi could not hold his face steady, and some words slipped out subconsciously: "Are you questioning the investigation results of the Gaoshu Elder Council?"

……

In fact, no one can guarantee the whole thing.

"To take a step back, even if those Mages really died from a Mind Blast, it is not necessarily related to the Computing Power Pool. Why couldn't it be that the culprit gave them a Mind Blast to their faces?"

"Speaker Enjier, fellow representatives, although it is currently impossible to fully determine that the root cause of the recent death incidents in Aosi is the Computing Power Pool, combining the series of events that have occurred recently, we can still attempt to make an inference—"
