Chapter 452 Goodbye, Mr. Minister
"he died……?"

Leon and Claire's faces changed, and Leon asked, "Did you kill him?"

Li You didn't say much, just nodded slightly: "Yeah."

Leon and Claire looked at each other, their expressions a little complicated.

Claire then said, "Can you tell us what happened?"

Looking at the expressions of the two men, Li You knew that they obviously did not agree with him killing Wilson directly.

Of course, the relationship between the three of them can stand the test, and Leon and Claire have enough trust in him, but the questions that need to be asked still need to be asked.

Li You didn't intend to hide it, otherwise he wouldn't admit it. But he still thought about how to explain it, so he paused for a moment before speaking: "It's like this..."

He narrated Wilson's actions in a logical order, telling the two that from the biological weapons that appeared on the battlefield in Panenstein six years ago to the biological attack that just took place in the White House, Wilson was the mastermind behind these vicious incidents.

"...These were all done by him?" Claire frowned, but Leon didn't say anything.

“Not only that, Wilson planned this biological attack on the White House with the purpose of throwing dirty water on a certain country, letting the United States provoke them, and even triggering a war.

"If his plan went smoothly, he should have convinced President Graham by now and sent you, Jason, and Shen Mei on the submarine to that country."

Hearing this, Leon couldn't help but change color.

"He actually wants to do such a thing? But what good will it do him..."

He then kept silent. As a direct agent of the president, although Leon was not particularly proficient in politics, he had seen a lot.

What are the benefits? With Wilson's background and status, there are too many benefits.

Leon didn't ask any more questions, but frowned in thought.

Li Youze continued, "The final step of his plan was to secretly blow up the submarine after entering the territorial waters of that country."

"You, Jason, and Shen Mei are all people he wants to get rid of. Jason and Shen Mei are his confidants, but they also know too much; and you are the person President Graham trusts the most, and he doesn't intend to let you go either.

"And when the submarine is destroyed in the territorial waters of that country, Wilson will have enough reasons to convince President Graham. You know this president very well. He is weak and lacks independent thinking. It is very likely that he will be persuaded... The final result will be disastrous."

Leon and Claire looked at each other again. Claire didn't know much about these things, but Leon knew very well. If things really went according to what Li You said and Wilson's plan, then the final development would indeed be very bad.

So Leon sighed: "I see. No wonder you want to take Wilson away, this is indeed a solution. But..."

"...but you don't need to kill him yourself." Claire on the side said, "Wilson...did deserve it, but it's inappropriate for him to die like this."

Li You looked at her, and Claire reached out and gently placed her hand on the back of his hand.

"Cutting the Gordian knot is indeed a solution, but in Wilson's case, since you brought him out, it's actually better to lock him up, and then we can collect evidence and finally expose his actions."

Claire looked at Li You seriously, her eyes unflinching: "This is not only for procedural justice, but more importantly, we need to do our best to prevent biological incidents from happening again, let the world know the horror of such things, and make those with bad intentions have some reservations."

"It is useless to simply kill those who planned the biological and chemical attacks. This method can only work temporarily, but it cannot be effective forever. Since Umbrella, many companies and organizations have invested in this industry. Even if Umbrella falls, new people continue to enter the market...

“So what we need more is to strengthen monitoring and deterrence, as well as to prevent problems before they happen. BSAA and Trasever are already deepening their cooperation. We are working together to find those involved in the field of biological and chemical weapons as quickly as possible and bring them to justice.

"Only in this way can we make those people understand that people hate biological terrorism and that the authorities will never tolerate such behavior, and only in this way can we curb this trend.

"To use your local dialect, this is the effect of 'clear and fair punishment'."

After listening to Claire's long speech, Li You couldn't help but look at her in surprise.

She has thought so carefully and deeply, is this still the gullible Claire of mine?
Claire blushed slightly when he looked at her. She said, "These are not just my ideas... some of them were discussed with me by Kara before, and some were said by O'Brien from the BSAA."

Li You inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief. He said that Claire didn't seem to understand...

But she can even say Chinese idioms, so it seems that she has been secretly taking extra classes?
Leon on the side also spoke up at this time: "This is actually the concept that Trasever and the BSAA top management now agree on... I also think this point of view makes a lot of sense."

"So from my perspective, I am also planning to propose to President Graham to establish a presidential agent group. As long as there is a trustworthy and decisive president, such a group will surely shine in the field of anti-biological and chemical warfare."

After listening to what the two said, Li You finally understood their true thoughts and why they opposed his direct killing.

And he also knew that, as the two men had said, the significance of public execution was much more far-reaching than lynching, and the effect was better, especially in the field of anti-biological and chemical warfare.

However, Li You would not ignore that the premise of all this is that BSAA, Trasever and the special agent department envisioned by Lyon will not fail in the end, will not fail, and will not be invaded by malicious capital.

If we want to be able to deter criminals who are interested in biological and chemical weapons, we need an organization with credibility and deterrence to implement policies, otherwise it will just be empty talk.

And judging from his understanding of major events in the biochemical world, he is actually pessimistic about this...

Apart from other things, the World Pharmaceutical Federation, the US government, and various countries have organizations and institutions that invest in the biochemical industry. What can BSAA and Trasever do alone?
The development of this world has actually deviated from the original world line in many places due to Li You's constant interference. Many of them seem to be developing in a good direction at present.

But some essential things have not changed, for example, the financial backers behind BSAA now include the International Federation and the Global Pharmaceutical Federation represented by Sanlian Pharmaceuticals...

How can we fight back when our biggest financial backer is our enemy?
So sometimes it’s best to just start killing (not really).

But on the other hand, now that he has calmed down and thought about it, Li You has a new idea.

If Wilson is not killed, then his cooperative relationship with Sanlian Company can actually be utilized. If we go a step further, we can try to use this to strike Sanlian Pharmaceutical, or even do more.

But Li You shook his head again. If he analyzed it rationally, he should still follow his original idea and keep Wilson alive. However, since he had already killed him, there was no point in thinking about it.

On the other hand, the reason why he simply pressed Wilson to death was actually influenced by his current mentality.

His strength has greatly improved now. In the biochemical world, as long as he doesn't stubbornly challenge the power of heaven and earth, or try to chop a nuclear bomb with a knife, nothing serious will happen.

With such power, he naturally looked down upon the conspiracies and tricks of those "little people" and even felt that it was a waste of time to talk nonsense with them.

In addition, he was already in a bad mood after returning from Dark Souls, so he was unhappy for a moment and sent Wilson away directly.

Moreover, Wilson deserved it. Even the Dark Moon Sword Oath Badge in Li You's hand would react when he was near him.

[Dark Moon Sword Pledge Badge: The Dark Moon Sword Knights' identity certificate, which will sense those who have committed serious crimes. Killing a serious criminal will gain the Pledge Contribution. The higher the Pledge Contribution, the greater the damage to the serious criminal.]

Look, even the Darkmoon Sword Covenant can’t stand it anymore. If Wilson doesn’t die, who will die?

But it is undeniable that Li You’s own change in mentality is the main reason.

In fact, if he hadn't heard what Leon and Claire said, he wouldn't even notice the subtle change in his way of thinking. It was only then that he realized it. "...It seems that I am a little too proud. I really need to adjust my mindset."

Li You also felt a little emotional. In this world, his friends were also trying their best to do what they thought was right, and many of their words and actions were based on far-reaching considerations.

In this case, I should support them.

As for the fact that their ideals are difficult to realize...

Li You suddenly smiled.

I just said that with his current strength, it would not be difficult for him to walk sideways or even diagonally in the biochemical world, so why would he be afraid that he would not be able to help his old friends?

He has plenty of means to deal with those big companies!
He can do things that are difficult for Leon Claire and others to do!

So at this time, Li You paused and said: "I understand. What you said makes sense. I will pay more attention in the future."

He did agree with the ideas of Lyon and others. As for what he was going to do specifically, he was not in a hurry to explain it, but he already had a general idea.

Leon and Claire naturally didn't know that Li You's mentality had changed drastically in just a short period of time. They just smiled when they saw Li You accepted their suggestions.

"It's okay. This is just our philosophy. We won't force it on you." Claire blinked and said, "Besides, you have stopped Wilson's conspiracy and avoided the enmity between the two great powers. The result is good!"

Li You also smiled: "Unfortunately, it's not the best result."

Leon wanted to say something, but he heard the communicator in his arms ringing. He took it out and saw that it was an urgent message from Hannigan.

Seeing Hanigan's message appear on the small screen, Leon was also stunned. However, Hanigan never looked for him for trivial matters, so he still clicked on the message box.

When he saw this, his face turned serious.

Leon put down the communicator, looked at Li You and Claire in front of him, and said slowly: “…I’m afraid I have bad news.”

"Wilson is indeed gone, but there are others. Just now, staff member Ryan told President Graham that the previous illegal intrusion into the server has been found to be the work of a certain country, and last night's biochemical intrusion is suspected to be the work of one of their biological research institutions. Even the Secretary of Defense is missing in this incident.

"So Ryan proposed to President Graham to send an elite team to enter a certain country via submarine to investigate the biological research institute. The president also intended to approve it and planned to recruit me to join the team. If it is finally decided to execute this plan, the action... will take place tonight."

Li You, Claire: “!?”

"What--?"

Li You was extremely surprised.

Not only because of the development that seemed to be converging the world line, but also because of the person who proposed this matter.

In the original series, staff member Ryan was clearly the person who was most opposed to Wilson and the one who least supported President Graham's provocation of a certain country!

Even if the world line is forced to converge, there is no reason for it to converge on him, right?

Li You thought further, in this case, not only did he kill a potentially useful chess piece in vain, but he also failed to stop the event that was about to happen?
This is fucking embarrassing... No.

What the hell is going on!?
At this time, Li You calmed down quickly. After discarding his bad mentality, his thinking ability that he had on vacation had returned to his mind.

"Based on past experience, as long as the ability is sufficient, the development of this world can be completely changed. There are cases where the world line attempts to converge, but it will not be forcibly converged.

“So now that Wilson is gone, Ryan, the staff member, has proposed a plan to provoke that country. This can only mean one thing - there is a real mastermind behind this incident!

"He should be aware of Wilson's plan. He might even know that Wilson is dead, so he asked his aide Ryan to replace Wilson and continue to execute the original plan!"

Li You recalled the ambiguous words Wilson said before his death, and new guesses immediately emerged in his mind.

"Could it be that the company he misunderstood me about was not Sanlian?"

After realizing that he might have a preconceived idea, Li You immediately started analyzing from the beginning and once again screened out the two most likely candidates.

"Could it be..."

His eyes flickered slightly.

We can slowly investigate who is behind all this, but what needs to be resolved right now is this incident.

Li You thought quickly again. There were more than one way to stop the subsequent chain reaction. Following the original plot was the dumbest but also the simplest, but the risk was also high. If there was a better way...

"Since President Graham is not completely sure, there is still a chance to stop it fundamentally!" Li You raised his head, "Leon, I have an idea!"

……

The White House, Oval Office.

Ryan, the slightly overweight aide, was giving emotional advice to President Graham.

"…Mr. President! First we were hacked, and then the White House was infected! This is the White House, for God's sake! We are under attack!
"And Minister Wilson is missing. He is the Minister of Defense, and he is gone without any explanation. How can we just turn a blind eye to it?"

President Graham was convinced that his aide Ryan, who had always been inclined to keep things quiet, was so excited.

He turned around and glanced at the photo of his beloved daughter Ashley placed by the window at the back. Thinking of the horrific experience she had experienced two years ago, he finally made up his mind.

Everything else could be discussed, but he could never let his daughter be involved in a biological terrorist attack again.

Then President Graham turned back, his face serious, and was about to speak.

"In that case, let's arrange..."

"boom--!!"

At this moment, the door of the office was suddenly pushed open, and a somewhat hoarse voice sounded.

"I object--!"

President Graham and his aide Ryan subconsciously turned their heads and saw a living "Wilson" standing at the door with an angry look on his face, followed by Leon in a suit.

Graham: “???”

Staff Ryan: “???”
