Chapter 100: The Mysterious Society
Rick was born in a political family, and his exposure from childhood to adulthood and the careful cultivation of his family allowed him to be at home in all kinds of social and non-social situations. This is completely incomparable to the Warren family. Compared to him, Evan can only be regarded as a wild boy and an upstart.
Rick has a mature side of doing things, but also an unrestrained side, likes to participate in various activities, and his style can be said to be incompatible with BlackerHouse. Evan often said that he shouldn't live in the BlackerHouse and that FlemingHouse was where he should be.
This statement makes sense to Rick himself.
He said that everything is good at Caltech, but there are two things that he is not very satisfied with, one is that there are no girls in the school, and if he wants to see female students, he can only go to the city college next door, and the other is that there are fewer clubs.
So, when Evan proposes to create an organization to find possible dimensional travelers, Rick is immediately enlightened.
"I didn't think of that!"
Rick slapped his thigh and sighed, "I participate in various clubs all day long, why did I forget that I can also set up a club to play with?"
If Evan was just a whim, casual remark, then Rick was really serious.
Rick is not a boy who just talks and doesn't practice, he has a strong ability to act, and it only takes him a few hours to gather a group of colleagues who also believe in the existence of parallel worlds, and he starts to set up a club to prepare.
As the proposer of the many-world interpretation, Evan was automatically recognized by Rick as a founding member of the Society.
January 21st, evening.
A group of believers from parallel worlds gathered in room 201 of Blacker House for a preparatory meeting for the formation of the Society.
The number of people attending the convention, plus Evan, was no more, no less, exactly a twelve.
Among these people, Evan knew many people, such as Orville, and Werner was in it.
More than half of them are upperclassmen with lighter coursework.
Rick began, "Today, we twelve brothers have come together to form a society. The purpose of this society is twofold. First, we believe that parallel worlds exist, and we have come together in search of evidence of their existence. Second, based on the consensus that parallel worlds do exist, we speculate that transworlds, or living beings, or non-living beings, also exist, and that these beings are called PlanesWalkers, and that another purpose of the Society is to secretly search for these PlanesWalkers. ”
"Although it is a club, we will not be limited to the school, and in the future, as we graduate from school and go out into the society, the club will also go out of the campus and become a social organization. ”
"Do you have any objections to these?"
Everyone shook their heads in unison.
"Okay!" Rick nodded with satisfaction and said, "Since everyone agrees on these two points, then our inaugural meeting can continue." ”
"Now, as the master of ceremonies of the conference, I would like to announce the agenda of the conference. ”
"First of all, we will decide on the name of the society, please speak freely, and then vote by show of hands. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Orville was the first to make a suggestion: "How about Dead or Alive?"
Someone nodded, someone shook their head.
Someone's mouth twitched unconsciously, and he glanced at Orville, thinking that this guy couldn't be another Planeswalker besides himself.
After that, some people put forward their own suggestions one after another.
"What about the Innumberable?"
"I'm proposing Infinite world. ”
Evan only sat in and did not offer his own opinions, and finally Rick, who was also the master of ceremonies, also provided a proposal.
"What do you think of Planeswalker' Home (PWH)?"
The name comes from a derivative of Evan's name, and as soon as Rick said it, many people nodded in agreement.
"Let's raise our hands and vote......"
Needless to say, "PWH" was elected with a high number of votes.
Rick nodded in satisfaction at this result.
"Next, let's talk about the organizational structure and membership process of PWH. ”
One by one, everyone rushed to speak.
"I don't think 'PWH' should be a mass society, and should maintain a certain level of secrecy so that we can discover the plane travelers hidden in the shadows. ”
"No, I think we should spread the word about our philosophy so that we can attract more people to join us. ”
Gradually, the crowd became two opposing factions, the occult faction was slightly inferior, but there were also many people.
Seeing that the two sides were at a stalemate, Evan, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke up.
"Guys, can you hear what I think?"
Originally, Evan was just here to see the crowd, but maybe he was infected by everyone's seriousness and enthusiasm, or maybe he was affected by this young body, and on a whim, he said with some spoof: "I support the former as to whether 'PWH' is secretive or fanfare." ”
"The reason, everyone said it just now, so I won't repeat it. ”
"Of course, I don't say this to make 'PWH' a mystical society, because mystical societies are too limited. ”
"If you want to find a possible dimensional traveler, you can't do it if there are fewer people. ”
"Therefore, I think our organization should have two sides, it should be a covert organization but at the same time it can operate openly in front of the public. ”
What Evan said was a bit of a twist, but everyone present understood.
Rick said, "Evan, you mean, like Clark Kent, put a layer of camouflage tightness over the 'PWH'?"
Evan nodded and gave Rick a strange look, this guy was idle enough to even read comics.
Someone in the field didn't know who "Clark Kent" was, and Rick explained it in a few words.
"I think Evan's method is good, I approve of it!"
Evan, who received unanimous support from everyone, continued: "I propose that the organization be divided into two systems, one inside and one outside, the inner organization is the ontology, and the surface organization is the shell. ”
"The ontology should be an organization with a high degree of action, a high degree of secrecy, and a high degree of division of labor. ”
"I think the division of labor can be divided into the executors, who are responsible for collecting information that may be related to the plane traveler, and providing protection if a potential plane traveler is found, and the other is the researcher, who is responsible for studying the information provided by the executor and looking for theoretical and experimental evidence for the existence of parallel worlds. ”
"I think there can be a hierarchy between the executor and the researcher, and this hierarchy will determine his status within the organization and the level of confidentiality. ”
"You can learn from the fraternity for this hierarchy, of course, I think it's simpler, just use the five levels S, A, B, C, and D. ”
"On top of the implementers and researchers, a council could be established. ”
"The Board of Directors is the central body of the 'PWH', and the number should not be too much, but we happen to have twelve people here, and I think we can put that number at twelve. ”
"The members of the Council, I think we can call them Absolute observers, each AO has a certain task, and each has a code name......"
"Also, I have an idea about this shell......"
So the conference, where everyone spoke freely, has now become a stage for Evan alone.
