Fake Neo eventually left with all the equipment and materials, and General Smith's men were completely unable to stop him. As he said, my lord, times have changed.

Yes, times have changed. This era is no longer a simple system of state power.

Because the supreme force that maintains the system of state power: the army, which is no longer the most powerful weapon of the country.

Because now the Returners and the Visionaries have appeared. Once upon a time, the military was the most violent organ in the country. But now, powerful Ability Awakeners have appeared, and the super strong among them can be worth an army alone.

It's like that fake Neo.

In this day and age, the power of the state has begun to fall.

Uptown Manhattan, New York, USA.

It is here that the headquarters of the Ors Group is erected, and the 130-story tower soars into the sky, a landmark building in New York.

It is a comprehensive large group with energy industry, military industry, financial investment, real estate group and so on. It can be said that this is a big company at the level of a giant.

The cooperation between the Ors Group and the military is very deep, because there are quite a few weapons that are manufactured by the Ors Group after bidding.

At the same time, as a super-large energy group, Ors Group also owns 20 nuclear power plants around the world.

At the same time, the group also has a high level of achievements in the field of biology and is an all-round high-tech group.

In the president's office of the Ors Group, sunlight shines through the transparent floor-to-ceiling glass, bringing a touch of afterglow to the office.

Mr. Adam Ors, the president of the Ors Group, was sitting quietly behind the executive desk, looking at his right-hand man Ivanov and saying, "Everything has been taken back?"

Ivanov, dressed like Neo, nodded: "Take it back." ”

"Did Smith embarrass you?"

"Yes, but it doesn't matter. Their weapons can't hurt me. ”

"Hmm. "Adam didn't care about the conflict between Ivanov and Smith. He didn't even feel like offending the military at all. Instead, he said lightly: "It's okay to recycle things." Smith was an old brain, and he thought the world was the same as it used to be. ”

"Now the most violent group in the country is no longer the group of soldiers under his command, fool. Adam shook his head and continued, "How's the Otherworldly Gate?"

"The main control was snatched away. It should have been snatched by the otherworldly person who was released by the Otherworldly Gate. However, he took the master control, and it should still be on Earth. Because he can't go back to his own world without the master. Ivanov looked more respectful to Adam than he was to General Smith.

"It's not going to work without the master. Adam pulled a Cuban cigar out of his drawer, "Do you want it?" he asked Ivanov.

Ivanov shook his head. Adam also unceremoniously pulled out the cigar clipper and cut off the cigar head, and then he snapped his fingers lightly, and flames came out of his fingers.

Leaning on the flame on his finger, Adam lit his cigar, and he swallowed the clouds: "Is there any news of the otherworldly traveler?"

"Our people are analyzing. ”

"Well, your next task is to get the master back. The quest to open the Otherworldly Gate cannot be stopped. All of you in the Temple Brotherhood await our good news. Adam stood up, seventy years old, and he did not show any signs of old age at all. The body is strong and powerful, and the face is refreshed.

"We need to open the door to the other world and find new markets. In this way, our group can flourish. Adam took Ivanov to the elevator: "Go down, we'll get you some help." ”

This elevator is a dedicated elevator that leads directly from Ivanov's office to the laboratory on the ground floor of the building. This is the minus twelve floors of the building.

It is also the most confidential place in the entire building.

Ivanov knew what this place was, this was the genetic modification department of the group. The appearance of the Returnee and the Ability Awakener has changed the whole world a lot.

If the sudden appearance of the Returnee is not a major change that affects the entire world, then the appearance of the Awakened is definitely a challenge to the world situation.

So studying the abilities of the Ability Awakened was put on the agenda.

Don't say that the aroma of democracy wafts from country XX, Ivanov once believed in such words, so he came to the United States from Russia thousands of miles away. After I came, I realized that all this was nonsense. There is no such thing as a fragrance of freedom in this world.

Because in this country, freedom belongs only to the privileged class, the tycoons. The plutocracy leads the country, and they do whatever they want without worrying about anything.

It's like everything that happened on the twelfth basement floor.

It was divided into several different areas, with the outermost area just doing ordinary research and not seeing anything wrong. And the further you go inside, the less you can be known to the outside world.

Some seepping screams can be heard as you traverse the B3 area.

Ivanov knew what those people inside were going through, and he himself came out of it.

It was a brutal experiment, an experiment in isolating the genes of the Awakener. I was one of the experimenters of that batch of experiments. Of the fifty people in total, only one survived, and the others died. I don't know how many batches of experimenters I have. Are all the people in front of me dead? Ivanov didn't know. But he knew that the success rate of this experiment was very low, very low.

And as the earliest experimental vehicle, is the primordial Ability Awakener still alive? Ivanov even didn't know. He is more concerned about whether he can continue to live.

And after surviving, he will have to go through brutal training and sharpening, so that the ability he has gained will become more and more powerful. Until today, the [Mental Power] that I have obtained is strong enough. Of course, I prefer to call my ability [Force] more than [Mental Motivation]. But even if he is so powerful, he still has to be controlled by the group.

The group has a special set of methods to control these people. They're looking for ways to mass-produce the Ability Awakener Warrior as their weapon. And I'm just one of them.

So Adam is not afraid of the military, because he still has a lot of cards to play. Besides, the members of the Templar Brotherhood are not just the Orth Syndicate!

Adam took Ivanov to a stop in a spacious lounge, where the two waited.

After a while, a female scholar in a white robe and black-rimmed glasses walked over with a group of men with cold faces and strong bodies.

"Mr. Adam, do as you command. Our first mass-produced Templar Assassins have been officially born. The female scholar looked very proud to introduce Adam.

Adam laughed, he turned his head sideways and said to Ivanov: "Come on, these people will be members of your group in the future." Our Temple Army is beginning to take shape. And you, will be our earliest general. We don't need to bother with the military waste anymore. It's better for us to do it ourselves than for the army. From now on, your mission is to find the master and bring it back. ”

Adam said fiercely: "Whoever has the master control, shoot and kill!"
