I ran for president with scumbag money

Chapter 122 System Stripping

Instead of going to the planetarium with Binny, Leon followed Connie to the parking lot of Silicon Sea, where homeless people gather.

A lot of unemployed people live in cars, and they try to keep them looking as good as possible.

"The representative of State A is coming", the news quickly spread throughout the gathering place, just like in the box house in State A, everyone rushed towards Leon and surrounded him, some asked to shake hands with him, some wanted to talk to Leon He took a group photo, and some people just looked at him from a distance, not daring to approach him.

"We don't communicate much at ordinary times," Connie said to Leon, "I don't know their details either. We just live here together and take care of each other occasionally."

But Connie knew that most of the people here were homeless because they lost their credit.

Some people owe debts due to high medical bills, others have credit damage due to rent arrears, and some are fired from their companies because they have passed their golden age.

Leon tried to talk to them, using his own identity, it was very easy to do this, everyone was willing to tell him what happened to them, and everyone wanted to know how to get out of this predicament.

Leon chatted with them for a long time.

Generally, regular guests will bring reporters and cameras with them when they start this event. Leon has been in the spotlight for too long a few days ago, and he has no interest in disturbing reporters or anyone. He regards this as a private event.

It was late at night when he came out of the parking lot, and Binny had been waiting for him.

"There are no guards here, and it's not safe at night." After Leon came out, he said helplessly, "I wanted to ask the State Government Office if they could arrange guard patrols, but this is not State A, and my order has no effect."

While talking, he looked at Binny, suddenly recalled something, and said with a smile: "I guess the trip to the planetarium was ruined."

"You can still go." Binny didn't blame him at all.

"Go to the planetarium in the middle of the night? Here you can see the stars when you look up."

Leon raised his head and looked at the starry sky, where there were dots of light.

The two walked towards the residence facing the cold wind, Lindong was extremely cold, Leon walked a few steps, and then said to himself: "I don't know how many lives will be taken away this winter."

People without a permanent home were frozen to death in the midst of winter—not that it was hard to imagine.

Binny was silent, and then said: "After all, social welfare is not that perfect."

Leon was also silent.

"Why do you want to go to the planetarium?" He changed the subject to a lighter one.

Binny paused, and replied, "You like the planetarium very much."

"Ah? How do you know?"

Leon was stunned, he couldn't remember when he showed such interest.

"I think it's good to relax once in a while." Binny heard the strangeness in his words, and glanced at him quickly, "Why? No?"

Leon laughed twice.

In terms of sights, he should admit that he does like planetariums, at least pretending to be.

But for some reason, he didn't want to do this, but wanted to see Binny's distressed appearance: "No."

Binny frowned, then quickly let go, and said in relief, "Then, luckily we didn't go."

"This is the first time your investigation has made a mistake." Leon smiled, not intending to let it go.

"The investigation requires repeated collection of evidence." Binny said tactfully, "so if you come out with me more, I will have more and more evidence."

"Does it mean more dates?" Leon stopped walking.

Binny looked at him.

Under the light of the street lamp, Leon's eyes shone brightly, as clear and translucent as sea water, which was enough to make one's heart flutter.

He should seize this opportunity.

There is nothing that they can't talk about. Facing this huge crisis called "campaign" together, they cooperate with each other and have a perfect understanding.

What's more, there is expectation in Leon's eyes, he can see it, how could he not see it?

However, Binny quickly remembered his arrangements, those ulterior arrangements behind Leon's back.

He turned his head and changed the subject: "Where else do you want to go?"

Leon was a little surprised, and asked subconsciously, "Where are you going?"

Obviously the atmosphere was just right and the timing was right, no wonder he got it all wrong?Binny didn't mean that at all?

But, how come?

Leon's heart was flustered for a moment, he couldn't help doubting himself, and fell into deep thought for a while.

Binny said it twice before he came back to his senses: "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Binny said, "I see you're in a daze."

"It's okay." Leon shook his head, now is not the time to be disappointed by these emotional matters, he tried to explain, "I thought of something else."

"What?" Binny followed suit.

Leon frowned and thought about it: "You still remember that when I was in State A, I promised those people who lived in box houses. Now, I have some ideas."

"what?"

"Low-rent housing and food stamps." Leon said, "I want to implement these two welfare policies in State A first, as an experiment."

"The state government has limited funds, so I don't know how much it can approve." Binney answered after making some calculations in his mind.

"Then there are as many batches as there are."

Leon would not know how many people in State A were saved by these two benefits when the economic crisis swept through Country X.

Because at that time, he had been forced to apply for political asylum.

Binny didn't say anything more, but Leon knew that the other party must have firmly remembered his words in his heart, and had already figured out how to implement them.

As long as Binny remains a reliable companion.Leon thought comfortingly, other things are not that important.

The trip to the Silicon Sea gave Leon some idea, and his general strategy was not too wrong:

Country X is a country attached to Empire O and controlled by a consortium of assets. If Leon wants to solve the fundamental problem, he needs to smoothly transition it to the road of socialism and carry out reforms in the social and economic structure.

He wants to implement it starting from state A, wait for people to get used to it, and after he wins the election, he will use state A as an example to promote it to the whole country. For this reason, he has implemented a series of positive policies in state A:

First, State A is nationalized.

Second, state A implements land reform.

Third, expand social welfare and reduce rent.

Fourth, compulsory education.

With the Hawke family and the Tex family, the largest consortiums in state A, being abolished successively, there is no decent consortium in state A that can interfere and disrupt Leon's promotion.

Some economists even optimistically predict that within a year, these positive policies will see results.

But the problem is that the general environment did not leave any respite for Leon and the people of State A.

While Leon was focusing on implementing his own strategy, everyone else was getting ready, and a "werewolf killing" involving multiple forces began.

Due to the attention of Cindy, Roy, Tim and President Kennedy, Leon became the target of public criticism and was the first to be thrown out of the game without any disturbance.

At first, Leon planned to use Isabella's project to help the poor. He convinced Isabella that the consortium was unreliable. It is better to raise funds from ordinary people so that everyone has shares. Isabella gets the largest share. That share can be redistributed by others.

Isabella agreed.

In her opinion, the project was an empty shell, and her goal was only money, not to mention that Hines was helping the flames, so she couldn't disagree.

This was Leon's first mortal wound.

Because of the implementation of positive welfare policies, Leon's reputation in state A is rising steadily. The mainstream media slanders him with Ai Ruide's report, and the people don't believe it at all. The dogs raised by the Zongzheng's mansion can't speak for the people at all.

This is the second fatal injury.

Binny persuaded Kevin to invest all his assets in real estate in the name of Leon, betting on the economic collapse of the society.

This is the third fatal wound.

Six months later, before all the truth could be concealed, and before Hynes left Country X, Kendy had already prepared a speech, throwing all this on Leon in the statement.

Gesun even summoned the army to charge Leon with the crime of treason.

They had prepared everything, but they were in vain. No one thought that Leon could run faster than them.

……

Leon opened his eyes and realized that he was lying on the bed, but the bed was shaking. He covered his head and sat up with difficulty, only then realized that it was a small room, shaking for some reason.

"Wake up." Oscar opened the door and walked in, holding a glass of water, "How do you feel?"

"Binney..." Leon snorted when he said these two words, "How is he?"

"He's fine, he's staying in country X, and I took you out." Oscar looked at the wound on his arm and snorted, "Fortunately, state A is your base camp, otherwise Gesun would send troops to arrest him for treason You, even if I can stop ten thousand with one blow, I can't let you survive."

Leon was greatly shocked, squinting his eyes and said, "It's beautiful to kill."

"That's right, chain strike." Oscar sat down beside his bed.

"Where are we?"

"At sea, Ke Luo found a way for us to find a place on the ship. The lax investigation a few days ago was tricked out in time." Oscar grinned and said proudly, "If I hadn't just received a message from Lusha If you don’t know the news, I’ll knock you out and bring you out in time, I’m afraid you still don’t want to leave. Now look, slow down, your life is about to be accounted for. Customs inspections are very strict these days, but luckily we left early. "

"When Lusha sent the news, didn't she even write her horoscope?" Leon smiled wryly, "You just transported me out in a hurry?"

"Since they want to do something to you, how could they give it the same time? If Kendi hadn't made up his mind and wanted to accuse you of causing the financial crisis, there would be no waiting for Lusha to tip the news." Oscar said disapprovingly.

"I'm only implementing it in state A, and it hasn't been extended to the whole country yet, so they're in such a hurry?" Leon sighed.

"Don't mention your correct strategy, it won't work, the problem is now with Isabella, she has deceived you."

Leon was silent for a moment, then whispered, "And Erwin."

It was the first time he called Binny by his last name.

Oscar patted him on the shoulder: "If you think about it, it's not a strange thing for brothers to turn against each other."

Leon didn't want to recall it.

"I knew I should go to the planetarium that day." He murmured.

That night, he always felt that something would happen. If all this was false, how could he lose everything?

"Now I really believe that he is not a tool man." Leon thought bitterly, "How could a tool man stab the protagonist in the back?"

Binny stabbed hard enough.

If there is still room for explanation for Kendi’s framing and Gesun’s pursuit, the money invested in his name and the sky-high returns obtained cannot be explained anyway, and even if they are explained, no one will be willing to listen forgive.

Binney let him carry a sum of "national calamity". It is impossible for the public to forgive those who make national calamity. They are worse than exploitation.

"You haven't had time to master the military power, so you won't lose in this wave." Oscar said, taking out a pack of cigarettes and handing it to Leon, "Gerson brought all the people to 'force the palace'—oh, you're just an idiot Representative, in short, he can succeed because he has mastered the armed forces, you don’t, and it’s useless to be popular.”

"yes……"

Leon got out of bed, took a few steps beside the bed, and gradually regained consciousness from the confusion: "Then, Gesen, what is he going to say?"

"High pressure plus □□."

Oscar pulled out a stack of newspapers from under the bed and threw it to Leon.

Leon sat down, did not take the cigarette, but picked up the newspaper, and quickly browsed:

Gesun has launched a positive change and established a military committee.

Kendi no longer had to think about how to resign. With the expansion of Gessen's army strength, it would be a matter of time before he was forced to abdicate, and that was the real "forced palace".

"Why isn't Gesun doing anything... oh, Roy."

Gerson has the army in his hands and hasn't attacked Kendy because he sent Roy.

A candidate who sits firmly in E state and holds the two major KB weapons of mercenaries and drugs.

Oscar handed over the bread, and Leon held it in his hand, unconsciously clasping his fingers: "Civil war will happen sooner or later."

"That's right. You can't help anything in China." Oscar nodded, "It's not bad if you can save your life."

Leon sighed, dejectedly: "I'm too naive, aren't I?"

Oscar looked at him for a moment, then shook his head: "I really don't think so."

"Really?" Leon raised his head and looked at him suspiciously. He didn't know how the attitude of this ally who had always been suspicious of him had improved. Soon he realized that the other party might be comforting him, and said with a wry smile, "If If it’s comforting, let’s get rid of it.”

"No, I really can't blame you. Your foundation is indeed too thin, and the time is too tight. State A does not have enough soil to brew storms like State E." Oscar said, "I believe that killing Hawk and Tex will You've tried your best, but there's no right time and place, and it doesn't help if there's no one around."

Did I do my best?

Leon asked himself.

How many times, how many opportunities he had to walk the same path as Lowe, but he refused them all.

If he chooses Loy's approach, I am afraid that Country X will now be in a tripartite situation just like the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

But he didn't.

He chose peaceful transformation, but the opponent did not leave him such an opportunity.

There was Roy in the front and Gesen in the back. Even he didn't know how he survived.

If it was in the original world, I am afraid that the only result that befalls him is "being assassinated".

Only this book and the "Protagonist Halo" kept him alive.

In addition to fear, a new question popped up in Leon's head:

What should I do next?Where should he go?

"Thinking about it, that bastard Erwin has at least made enough capital for you. You choose a good country with the money and do business well. After decades, you will be a good man again."

Leon lit the cigarette in his hand, took two puffs, and said with a wry smile: "Oscar, don't comfort me, I'm not suitable for business at all, to accumulate a lot of wealth and turn around? It's a good idea, but it doesn't fit."

"Then why don't you just continue to be an idol and make your debut as a star? Anyway, you have good looks. You've heard of Feifei, right? My family has sucked so much blood from China, so how do you live abroad? You spend it, and they don't care. What have you done in your own country, as long as you have money, there is paradise everywhere."

Knowing that Oscar was teasing him, Leon grinned reluctantly: "Let me rest again."

"That's ok, you lie down, I'll go and see if there's any soup, you woke up late, there's only bread left on the boat, you're choking to death."

After Oscar left, a voice sounded in Leon's mind.

The system is actually online.

"It's all lost, buddy, it's too miserable." The system's beating voice didn't change at all.

"What? Is there any punishment?" Leon's heart sank heavily.

Before, it wasn't that he didn't think of a way to ask about the origin and mission of the system, but every time the system either went offline and played dead or made jokes.

Now his defeat has been decided, if the system comes out to make up the knife, then he really has nothing to do.

"Why do you think so badly of me?" the system said, "Dude, conspiracy theories are sick and harmful."

Leon remained silent, waiting for the system to continue.

Sure enough, the system's voice changed: "However, there are still punishments."

"What is it?" Leon gripped the newspaper tightly.

"I want to leave you."

Leon was not surprised: "And then?"

"Hey, buddy, can you panic for a while? I think I'm quite useful on you!"

"I really don't know how to react." Leon replied honestly, "I don't know what your purpose is, but since I didn't meet the requirements, you should leave if you want to."

"Are you really ashamed?" The system's voice was rarely more concerned, "Why, being betrayed is such a big blow? Don't you show your courage to reject Hines, you're just a man. "

Leon didn't speak.

He didn't think the system could understand this blow. From the time travel to the present, the only person he trusted most was that person. He didn't expect that it was him who stabbed the deadliest knife.

"Absconding with the property of the country", what a serious crime this is, and it is a matter of course that it will be infamous for thousands of years.

What is even more hateful is that he did this while fully understanding what kind of person Leon is:

Hines was at most torturing the body of the original owner, but this one was trying to destroy his own soul.

Leon didn't care about what would happen after the system left. From the time travel to the present, he didn't rely on the system very much. At most, he only asked it to help him check the information once. And this task, after James joined, will soon no longer be needed. The system did it.

He still has to decide for himself what to do next.

Whether to stand up or die of old age doing nothing in a foreign country, there are only two prospects.

In other words, whether there is a system or not will have little impact on Leon's life, at most it will lose a companion who can complain to each other.

"Wow, so you take me as your companion?" The system's voice was somewhat flattered, "I always thought you didn't like me."

"Even if you keep a dog, after such a long time, you should have feelings." Leon didn't want to explain this feeling.

"Okay, based on your words, I will reveal the truth later." The system said, "I will change the host. You will return to the original world."

"What?" Leon almost jumped up, "You want me to go back?!"

"Yeah, go back." The system said, "You didn't complete the task, of course you were sent back."

"What is my task? To develop a relationship? To be raised by a man? Or to establish a star career?" Leon asked a series of questions.

He didn't care what the task was, as long as he could stay in this world, then he realized that he was unwilling to admit defeat.

As hard as it is to be betrayed, as hard as to be expelled, and even harder to be stigmatized, but—

Subconsciously, he still thinks that he can turn over, he must turn over!

He punched the bed angrily, and said quickly in his heart: "If it's a man who is a raider, there is one outside right now, if it's an idol career, I'll make my debut after landing... I can't be sent back by you! "

"I'm afraid it's not up to you, buddy," the system said softly.

"Who is that? Is it you?"

"Your luck is very good. In the past, we used to obliterate the hosts who did not complete the task. Since the reform, we have changed from obliteration to repatriation. It is not bad to take the opportunity to get out of this quagmire, buddy."

"I don't think so!"

"You're just too emotional to accept it for a while..."

"You are the one who is too excited! I also helped you make up the world more or less, didn't I?"

The system stopped answering, replaced by a mechanical voice:

"Dear host No. 85341, your journey is over, judgment: Unable to judge. We will send you back to the original world and make compensation. The system starts to strip, proceed: [-]%..."

"and many more!"

If this matter was changed to the day when Leon just crossed, I don’t know how happy he would be, even if it was changed to the day when Naitaen was killed, he would not have much regret.

Instead of being deprived of the opportunity to stand up by the system when he is at his lowest point and when he temporarily fails.

Once he left this world, Leon knew very well that it should be impossible for him to come back.

"You can change the host, but let me stay, okay?" Leon roared, "I don't want your things, and I don't want compensation, I just want to stay."

"Proceeding: 50.00%..."

"Who are you going to switch to?"

There were footsteps outside, Oscar opened the door and barged in, and asked worriedly, "Leon, what's wrong?"

"I'm leaving." Leon hugged his head, "But I don't want to leave yet!"

Sure enough, this system has never helped him do anything he wanted.

"What do you mean?" Oscar supported his body and said anxiously, "Leon?"

"System stripping completed, progress: [-]%—"

Leon raised his head, like a robot with power cut off, his eyes lost all luster, and fell into Oscar's arms.
