The 10,000th Rebirth

Chen Luo knew Peter, and also knew why Lu Chengchou was anxious to find him for help.

The United States has a separation of powers, advocating independent action and mutual checks and balances.

This system is very attractive in theory, but in real social activities, some of its drawbacks are exposed all the time, and it is not completely consistent with the theory.

The most typical example is that when one power is dominant, the other two powers will be squeezed very hard, thus breaking the balance of the separation of powers.

For example, during the Great Depression in the 1930s, many of the policies formulated by the powerful President Roosevelt were unconstitutional, but it took several years for the Supreme Court to dare to rule them unconstitutional.

In Congress, the Democratic Party behind Roosevelt firmly controlled both the Senate and the House of Representatives, and he could pass the bills he wanted to pass by influencing the elections of members of Congress.

On the contrary, when Congress was dominant, the president also became the target of power reduction. The government budget appropriation bill could cause the government to shut down because the parliament did not approve it, etc.

The actual situation in the United States now is that the three major interest groups of military industry, finance, and lawyers dominate the politics of the United States. Financial giants and multinational companies manipulate the economy, and politicians rely on political donations from the consortium for elections.

Peter controls these three major interest groups with one hand and hundreds of members of the two houses with the other.

With both politics and economy in his hands, Peter also controls the armed forces and cultivates his own power in the US military, so he naturally becomes the real master of the shadow government of the United States.

At Peter's point, there is no need to manipulate the US election at all. No matter who is president, they dare not provoke Peter and infringe on his interests.

After leaving the airport, Chen Luo did not waste time, but went directly to the Lincoln Memorial in DC.

The Lincoln Memorial is built to commemorate Lincoln. Lincoln has a very high status in the hearts of Americans. Every year, Lincoln can surpass Washington to rank first in the selection of the greatest president, and his status is as stable as Mount Tai.

Moreover, he is the founder of the current Republican Party of the United States and has a huge influence on the US political arena.

The memorial is located on the west side of the National Mall in DC, in front of the Arlington Memorial Bridge approach, and is connected to the Capitol and the towering DC Memorial in a straight line. It is a world-famous national landscape in the United States.

This is also a well-known scene in TV and movies. What kind of disaster movies and other movies, as long as there are any big scenes, most of them are the fall of the White House, the collapse of the monument and the Lincoln Memorial.

After entering the scenic area, Chen Luo did not enter the Lincoln Memorial, but went to the reflecting pool in front of the memorial.

This reflecting pool is located between the Lincoln Memorial and the DC Monument, with a total length of more than 600 meters and a width of several dozen meters.

Martin Luther King delivered the "I Have a Dream" speech in front of this reflecting pool, so this reflecting pool square is also one of the most iconic landscapes in the United States.

Chen Luo stood at the northernmost end of the reflecting pool and looked at the southernmost position.

There, Peter was talking with Lu Chengchou by the pool, surrounded by a circle of bodyguards in black suits, separating them from ordinary tourists.

At this time, there were not many tourists, most of them just took a look and pretended to ignore it.

These tourists were not stupid. As long as they saw this scene, they knew that this group of people could not be provoked, and naturally they would not take the initiative to go up and cause trouble.

"Are you sure that this matter was instigated by Ulysses?"

Peter looked only in his forties, but he was graceful and elegant, and he looked like a person who had been pampered for a long time.

When he said this, his eyes were indifferent, looking at Lu Chengchou who was bowing, without any emotion.

Lu Chengchou hurriedly bowed and replied, "Sir, you have ordered that Mitsui Hikaru is not allowed to cause trouble in the United States, and he is also prohibited from dealing with me again.

With his courage, he would definitely not dare to disobey, but now he has taken action again, and someone must be backing him up.

Except for Sir Ulysses, I really can't think of anyone who can give him such courage."

Peter's eyes flashed. He just received news last night that Ulysses killed Justinian.

Moreover, something happened in Augustus's dome manor, bodyguards were killed and injured, and Augustus was missing.

Although the Augustus family covered it up well, the United States was their territory, and it was not difficult to find out what happened there.

Could it be that Ulysses did it?

But how dare he?

Peter knew how terrible Zhao Wuji was. Compared with him, Ulysses was not even an ant.

When Peter was in doubt, his eyes suddenly focused and looked at the other side of the reflection pool.

Over there, a man stepped on the water of the reflection pool, stepped on the water, and walked towards them step by step.

Lu Chengchou was waiting for Peter to speak, but found that his eyes were looking forward. He couldn't help but look up, and then his eyes were straightened.

Although he didn't have Peter's amazing eyesight and could see the situation hundreds of meters away, he could see clearly what happened even from a distance.

Not only Lu Chengchou was shocked, but the tourists on both sides of the reflecting pool were also stunned.

Because the person on the reflecting pool was clearly walking on the water, and without any tools, just like walking on a normal road, walking towards the direction of the Lincoln Memorial.

"Oh my god!"

"Oh my God, he's really walking on water!"

"Isn't this a magic show?"

"How did he do it!"

"He seems to be wearing a mask of X!?"

...

The Americans and tourists next to the reflecting pool were all shocked. Even if Chen Luo was just walking on the water, this person was also wearing an X mask.

The combination of the two immediately caused a sensation.

Those who had mobile phones took out their phones and started taking pictures, and some took out their cameras to take pictures, hoping to capture this amazing scene.

Chen Luo walked slowly and slowly, as if taking a leisurely stroll in the garden, stepping on the water in the direction of Peter.

Peter stared closely at Chen Luo, who was wearing the X mask, and his expression darkened in an instant. He naturally knew who the real identity was under the mask.

Now that Chen Luo appears alive and kicking, it means that Ulysses did not kill Chen Luo.

Coupled with the weird things that happened in the past two days, Peter instantly had a bad association.

Ulysses not only failed to kill this X, but also joined forces with him?

This was the first thought that popped into Peter's mind at this moment.

But Peter felt it was impossible. Ulysses would betray Zhao Wuki only if he was crazy.

Because of the restriction set in the sea of ​​consciousness, Zhao Wuji could directly kill Ulysses with just a thought.

What's going on?
