237: Chapter 238 The final interpretation right should not be held by one person.

When the white door opened, there was no wind.

There was only a very clean smell of paper.

It was uncomfortably clean.

It was as if all blood, mud, water, cries, and dirty accounts had been wiped away in advance, leaving only words that could be stamped.

Inside the door was a huge circular courtroom.

Six high chairs surrounded the center.

None of the chairs had anyone on them, yet old characters glowed on all of them.

[Record]

[Adjudication]

[Replacement]

[Recycling]

[Correction]

[continuation]

Beneath the chairs were countless definition lines that had been cut and reconnected.

They crawled across the ground like white bugs.

Suspended in the exact center was a golden seal.

Four characters were engraved on the seal.

[Final Interpretation]

As soon as Chen Ye saw those four characters, his expression turned ugly.

"I hate this thing the most."

"Every contract ends with a line saying the ultimate right of interpretation belongs to so-and-so."

Shisan said coldly:

"Because the meaning of that sentence is usually: It's useless even if you understood the front part."

Cheng Du's voice from the Mainframe was suppressed very low.

"Central Interpretation Court."

"Back then, The Six Seats didn't necessarily change every rule directly."

"A lot of the time, they just changed the interpretation."

"Twelve-hour emergency maintenance was interpreted as long-term authorization."

"Refusing to name was interpreted as invalid population."

"Relief was interpreted as integration pre-positioning."

"Autonomy was interpreted as marginal exile."

Lin Jin looked at the [Final Interpretation] seal.

"So once it wakes up, it can reinterpret everything we wrote these past few days."

As soon as the words fell, the six empty chairs vibrated simultaneously.

A genderless and ageless voice rang out from all directions of the courtroom.

[Central Interpretation Court is now in session]

[Subject of review: The off-white rules formed during the seven-day temporary minimum maintenance period]

[Reason for review: Mixed sources of rules, unclear scope of application, excessive local corroboration, and mutual conflicts]

[Preliminary opinion: The off-white rules should be downgraded to local relief measures and do not possess foundational interpretive validity]

Outside the Old Awakening Hall, all the pages that had just stabilized flickered simultaneously.

[Non-professional Birth Page]

[Relief Isolation Belt]

[Right to Suspend Maintenance]

[Bottom Line of Public Resource Allocation]

[Autonomy, Not Exile Rule]

These characters did not disappear.

But a line of small text was added below.

[Local measures, pending central interpretation]

The edges of A-Lu's Non-professional Birth Page turned grey again.

He Chunlian abruptly pressed it down.

"Again?"

The temporary page of the South Bank Pump Station also began to downgrade.

The presence cards of the Dead Water Well survivors were marked as [Temporary Relief Identity].

Zhong Minglin's voice trembled with coldness.

"It doesn't need to overthrow them."

"It just has to say that none of these count as fundamental rules."

Lin Jin walked into the Central Interpretation Court.

A line of text immediately emerged on the ground beneath his feet.

[Maintainer Lin Jin, no Central Interpretation qualification]

Chen Ye followed him in.

[Shield Warrior Chen Ye, no interpretation qualification]

Shen Tingxue.

[Ice Phoenix Mage Shen Tingxue, occupational review in progress, no interpretation qualification]

Gu Changye.

[End-time Witness, transition incomplete, no interpretation qualification]

Inspector Han Su.

[Job-Slayer, execution rights frozen, no interpretation qualification]

Shisan stood at the door.

[Unregistered life, no interpretation qualification]

Shisan let out a chuckle.

"Pretty fair."

"Nobody has it."

The six chairs lit up simultaneously.

[Interpretation qualifications must meet: complete occupational identity, stable level, public authorization, continuous duty, central registration]

Lin Jin looked at Teacher Xu Wenzhou.

"This set of standards looks very familiar."

Teacher Xu Wenzhou nodded.

"Only The Six Seats themselves satisfy them."

Sure enough, the old characters on the six empty chairs began to auto-complete.

[In the absence of qualified new interpreters, old interpretation permissions are temporarily restored]

[Restoration scope: Record interpretation, adjudication interpretation, replacement interpretation, recycling interpretation, correction interpretation, continuation interpretation]

[The ultimate right of interpretation belongs to the Central Interpretation Court]

As soon as these words fell, the off-white rules of the entire world were pressed down by another layer.

The system began to reinterpret the first article.

[Receiving relief does not constitute occupational access]

The old interpretation popped up below.

[Interpretation: Receiving it once does not constitute it; long-term receipt can be regarded as entering integration observation]

A-Lu's face turned pale.

Article 2.

[Autonomy is not exile]

The old interpretation followed closely:

[Interpretation: Autonomous regions can still reduce service frequency due to resource constraints]

Zhong Minglin gritted his teeth.

Article 3.

[Right to Suspend Maintenance]

The old interpretation emerged:

[Interpretation: Suspension of maintenance must be confirmed by someone with interpretation qualifications before taking effect]

Chen Ye was furious.

"It turned the suspension of maintenance into an approval process!"

Lin Jin did not smash it immediately.

Looking at those interpretations, he became increasingly calm instead.

The Central Interpretation Court was not brute force.

Its blade was hidden in the gaps between words.

Every sentence was not completely overthrown.

It only changed a little bit.

Little by little, it changed "not owing a profession" to "temporarily not owing."

It changed "can call a stop" to "wait for approval before stopping."

It changed "periphery will not be downgraded" to "can be downgraded under resource constraints."

As long as these interpretations were settled, all their previous rules would turn into hollowed-out shells that looked like they were still there.

Lin Jin raised his hand and wrote:

[Interpretations must not change the protective purpose of the original rules]

The Central Interpretation Court responded:

[The protective purpose must be confirmed by the Interpretation Court]

Ye Guizhou's seal-stamping sound came from the outside.

[Original rule text received]

But as soon as the seal fell, the Central Interpretation Court pressed another line on top of it.

[Receiving does not equal the establishment of an interpretation]

Luo Wensheng's Record was also suppressed.

[Record does not equal validity]

He Zhibai's account book was suppressed.

[Cost does not determine interpretation]

The six empty chairs emitted a soft sound simultaneously.

As if they were laughing.

Chen Ye was so angry he wanted to rush up and smash the chairs, but Zhou Heng grabbed and stopped him.

"Smashing chairs is useless."

Shen Tingxue looked at the golden seal.

"What it wants is not rules."

"It's to send all rules through it once."

Gu Changye said:

"As long as it passes through it, it can change them."

Inspector Han Su gripped the cracked Shizhi Blade, his voice sinking.

"That's why we can't fight for the Interpretation Court."

"We must dismantle the ultimate right of interpretation."

Lin Jin nodded.

"Interpretation isn't completely unnecessary."

"Rules do conflict, become unclear, and encounter new situations."

"But interpretation shouldn't sit in a single chair."

He walked to the center of the circular courtroom.

The [Final Interpretation] seal slowly pressed down toward the top of his head.

[Lin Jin can apply for temporary chief interpreter]

[Reason: Most participation in rule generation, highest maintenance experience, highest public recognition]

[If accepted, can obtain seven-day ultimate right of interpretation]

Chen Ye's expression changed drastically.

"Don't accept it!"

Shisan sneered.

"It's starting to hand out chairs."

Lin Jin looked at that seal.

This was the trap.

If not accepted, the old Six Seats would be restored.

If accepted, he would be the new central interpreter.

Even if it was only for seven days, it would be enough to push the Jiangcheng Maintenance Team into a new center.

The voice of the Central Interpretation Court continued to sound.

[If no one undertakes the ultimate interpretation, rule conflicts will expand]

[If Lin Jin refuses, the off-white rules may become invalid]

[Please prioritize the public interest]

Lin Jin chuckled.

"You guys always love talking about the public interest."

"Making it sound like whenever the world is in a rush, someone has to sit up there."

He raised his hand, pointing his new tool not at the seal, but placing it on the ground.

"I am not applying for chief."

"I am applying for the interpretation process."

The Central Interpretation Court paused.

[The interpretation process must be formulated by the subject of the right of interpretation]

"Wrong."

Lin Jin raised his head.

"The interpretation process is jointly triggered by those affected, the original rule recorders, executors, corroborators, cost accounts, downstream parties, and opponents."

Luo Wensheng immediately wrote:

[Interpretation Process Draft]

[1. First, make the original text public]

[2. List the points of dispute]

[3. Indicate who the interpretation will affect]

[4. Those affected speak first]

[5. The original recorder explains the protective purpose]

[6. The executor explains practical obstacles]

[7. The cost account lists the price]

[8. Opponents list the risks]

[9. Interpretation is limited to the current dispute and must not automatically expand]

[10. Interpretation must not weaken the minimum protection line of the original rules]

Ye Guizhou stamped:

[Process received]

He Zhibai added:

[New costs generated by interpretation must be accounted for; interpretations must not be used to eliminate costs.]

Zhong Minglin joined in:

"How the autonomy rules are interpreted—Wuye City must be present."

Fang Ning joined in:

"How medical triage is interpreted—patients and medical staff must both be present."

Teacher Song Qing joined in:

"How unawakened rules are interpreted—the child themselves and teachers cannot be missing."

Shi Nan joined in:

"How waste page rules are interpreted—waste page survivors cannot just be treated as cases."

A-Lu joined in softly:

"Whether relief meals are a contract has to be asked of the people eating them."

As soon as this sentence came out, the golden seal of the Central Interpretation Court suddenly paused.

Teacher Xu Wenzhou raised 002.

Lin Jin clamped the new tool onto that most core definition line.

[The ultimate right of interpretation belongs to the Central Interpretation Court]

He didn't exert force alone.

Next to the six slots of the new tool, more off-white small slots appeared for the first time.

Wuye City's wooden seal.

South Bank's pipe-tapping echo.

Dead Water Well's mud handprints.

Nanling's medical Record pages.

Qinghe County's classroom chalk marks.

Beiyuan Mine's ash account.

Hai City's water level map.

A-Lu's Non-professional Birth Page.

Zhou Lan's withdrawal page.

Liang Yan's invalidation-sealed edge Record.

Chen Ye's pressure-bearing boundary statement.

Shen Tingxue's load-reduction observation period.

None of these copies were power.

All of them were realities that could not be skipped during interpretation.

Teacher Xu Wenzhou dropped his blade.

Snap!

[The ultimate right of interpretation belongs to the Central Interpretation Court] cracked open.

The golden seal vibrated violently, and the six old chairs emitted a harsh scratching sound simultaneously.

The new off-white rules surfaced with difficulty.

[No ultimate single right of interpretation]

[During the foundational review, interpretation adopts a public dispute process]

[Interpretation must retain the original text, scope of application, statements of affected persons, protective purpose, practical obstacles, costs, and opposing opinions]

[No interpretation may convert temporary relief into occupational binding, convert autonomy into supply disconnection, convert suspension of maintenance into approval, or convert non-occupational status into invalidity]

[Interpretation only resolves current disputes and does not form unlimited power expansion]

The Central Interpretation Court vibrated violently.

The old characters on the six chairs peeled off inch by inch.

But just when everyone thought they were going to collapse, the [Correction] chair suddenly lit up with dazzling white light.

A phantom emerged from the back of the chair.

Not a complete person.

Just a hand holding a white pen.

[The Fifth Seat · Correction residual permissions awakened]

[Judgment: Logical conflict exists in the off-white interpretation process]

[Correction request: Delete conflicts, unify standards, reduce multi-party noise]

With a wave of the white pen,

on all speaking pages, many "I don't know," "I disagree," "Temporarily uncertain," and "I want to wait" were circled.

[No definite opinion reduces interpretation efficiency]

[Recommended for deletion]

Zhao Jing's [I don't know] page turned instantly white.

Shisan's gaze turned abruptly cold.

Lin Jin gripped his new tool tightly.

"It's not fighting for the ultimate interpretation anymore."

"It's going to fix everyone who is hard to interpret first."
