Chapter 528: Evaporation of the World?
"Is there already a suspicious target, who is it?" asked the chief of the security guard, his eyes lit up.
"Actually, there are two main targets that I suspect right now. Jossen's face became much more serious, and he said two names.
"'Alien God'! and...... Hongjing Chamber of Commerce!"
"Sure enough......" After hearing this, the chief of the garrison was not very surprised in his eyes, obviously he had some ideas before.
Qiao Sen nodded and analyzed, "Let's talk about 'alien gods' first. The specific time of its appearance cannot be determined, the incubation period is unknown, we only know that it has only begun to show traces very frequently in the last half a year, and the identity of the "alien god" is too mysterious like the new "Dream Lord" in the past few days, and even now, no one has found out the true face of the other party. ”
"And we already know that the 'alien gods' have very incredible, miraculous means, and the other party can freely grant believers and contractors knowledge and extraordinary powers, even if they are just ordinary people, they can be reborn after obtaining the gift of the 'alien gods'...... Interestingly, we have not yet discovered how the "alien gods" recruited believers and covenanters. But now it seems that it is not very similar to the "Dream Lord" that has appeared now, both sides are using means that are difficult to detect and prevent to develop believers, and the active time is so close, and they are both very good at using the mysterious power of the "contract......"
"Although the previous 'Alien God' has not been rumored to have the ability to 'dream', it doesn't mean that the other party won't use it, right? On the contrary, if it is hiding in that kind of undetectable 'dream world', how the "Alien God Believers" and "Alien God Contractors" that we have never been able to understand before bypass the Empire's tracking and carry out activities in the shadows now makes sense, ......right?"
Qiao Sen spread his hands: "Even if you only look at the style of acting, these two guys who are all unknowns are very similar, both use all kinds of magical means to bewitch and lure the people to sign contracts with them in the name of 'fair contract' and 'equivalent exchange', so as to collect all kinds of "costs" from the people! ”
The chief of security nodded: "Indeed, as you said, no matter how you look at it, there are too many similarities between the two mysterious existences of 'Alien God' and 'Lord of Dreams'. ”
"What's more...... The name of the so-called 'alien god' is not an official name in itself, but only a pronoun that the nations have placed on that one without authorization! neither the one himself nor his followers seem to have ever acknowledged it......" Qiao Sen snapped his notebook and closed his notebook: "Perhaps, there was no 'alien god' from the beginning, and the current name of the so-called 'Lord of Dreams' is the real title of the other party!"
"Hmm. ”
"That's right!"
The chief of security nodded in agreement, and the other officers agreed.
"Assuming this conjecture is correct, then this 'Dream Cult' incident, if you want to find the mastermind behind it, it is not completely without clues......" The chief of security touched his chin and said.
There are a lot of "Alien God Contractors" who have been confirmed in the empire, and even the identities of "Alien God Believers" have been controlled, and they didn't easily provoke them because they had scruples, but now, I think the bigwigs above will make a decision quickly.
After all, the current 'fantasy cult' has obviously begun to threaten the stability of the empire, and the demagogy of the people by religious forces has always been the most taboo thing for the rulers of the imperial system.
After thinking about it, the chief of the garrison said, "Then, let's ask our superiors to search for those known alien contracts...... No, it's just that the contractor may not care too much about the other party, so should you directly find those "alien god believers" and arrest them, and then ask for information about the "Dream Lord"?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the chief of the garrison frowned himself: "However, it is not easy to pry open the mouths of those fanatics. ”
"Actually, it's not necessary. I'm afraid that even if we do that, it will be difficult to get a satisfactory result, after all, even ordinary "contractors" who are not very valued by the "alien gods", we have not tried to torture information before, and the result is very little, let alone the difficulty of obtaining information from "believers". Qiao Sen also said with a distressed face, and his face became more and more solemn.
"And the Director, not to mention the 'Contractors' that existed before, the number of 'Dream Entrants' who have entered the 'Dream World' in the Empire is an astronomical number, and we don't know how many people we have not counted secretly......!
The rest of the words, even if Qiao Sen didn't finish speaking, the chief of the garrison knew the seriousness of his words.
What if the Empire provokes the so-called 'Dream Lord' with a lot of anger, and the other side is angry and angry at the innocent people?
Not to mention anything else, as far as the information we know so far shows that the vast majority of the "Dream Seekers" are the most ordinary people at the bottom of the Empire, and they simply cannot resist the mysterious ability of the "Dream Lord" to silently pull people into dreams, in this case, no one dares to say that the other party will not have the ability to use the 'Dream World' to harm the Dream Seekers!
**Maybe you don't have to worry too much because you are in the real world, but the spiritual consciousness and even the soul of the "dreamer" who is pulled into the 'dream world' are difficult to ensure safety.
Although methods such as attacking spirits or destroying souls are rare in the hands of ordinary people, they are definitely not bad for a guy like the "Dream Lord" who is good at playing with "dreams"!
500,000 people, this number is the number of people who fall asleep in a single night according to the current statistics of the Empire, and this is only a relatively conservative estimate.
To put it simply, there are at least more than 500,000 people in the empire who will become 'hostages' of the other party at any time!
You must know that the resident population of Babylun City, where Jiang Yan originally made his fortune, is only 1 to 200,000, and the number of 500,000 is even close to half of the population of the most prosperous imperial capital.
"So, can't we just startle the snake here?" sighed, and the chief of the garrison said helplessly.
Qiao Sen nodded: "It's best to be able to get formal negotiations with the other party, even if it's just talking to each other and delaying for a while." Gain more time to respond, and take advantage of the time during the day, when the number of "dreamers" is the lowest, to issue a national notice to warn the public not to contact the 'dream world' with great hidden dangers again. ”
"Negotiating...... Looking for a "cultist"? or...... Take the risk of entering the 'Dream World' to find the dependents of the so-called 'Dream Lords'?" asked the Chief of Guard.
If given a choice, the Chief of Police prefers the former, after all, the danger and uncertainty of the 'dream world' are too great. After entering, if the negotiation breaks down and the other party has bad intentions, it is really difficult to guarantee the safety of the dreamer.
And it is much safer to find a "believer of another god", after all, the other party is in the real world, this is the home of the empire, and his side has the means to deal with unexpected situations.
"It's a pity, I'm afraid you'll have a bit of trouble if you want to find a 'cultist of the other gods' now......" However, Qiao Sen suddenly smiled bitterly.
"What's the matter? Didn't we lock down the identities of a few "Alien God Believers" before?" the Chief of Security had a bad feeling when he saw this.
"Actually, after discovering the possible connection between the 'Dream Lord' and the 'Alien God', I had already wanted to go over and find out the tone of the known 'Alien God Believers', but unfortunately, ......" Shaking his head, Qiao Sen said with a look of chagrin: "The action is a step too late! The previous group of 'Alien God Believers' who have been locked by us have all 'disappeared'. ”
"Missing?"
"Yes, missing!" Qiao Sen thought back to the result of the person who went to the empty building after he went to the door, and he was very helpless: "Not only is the person missing, but even the family members are also missing! And it doesn't look like they have been attacked, kidnapped or anything like that, because there have been traces of planned evacuation in their residence, as if they were moving, and valuable things and personal important items have been calmly taken away." ”
“...... So, do you know where they went?" asked the chief of the garrison, not too hopeful.
Sure enough, Qiao Sen shook his head helplessly: "There is no clue! The neighbors in the vicinity don't know where they are going, but occasionally a few people have heard some words about their intention to move away, but there is no way to know where they went, and the checkpoints and guards on this side of the empire can't find the slightest record of the whereabouts of those people, it's as if they have evaporated directly from the world!"
"Wait! I remember there should have been a watcher!" the chief of the garrison asked without a big frown.
"Cultists of different gods" are different from "covenanters of different gods", unlike the latter, which is a superficial relationship that is just a simple exchange of interests, and the former is a close confidant of "other gods". Now that the Empire is aware of their existence, it is impossible for the Empire not to pay attention.
In every place where there are "cultists of the gods", there will be at least one watchman lurking in the shadows, and that's what the Chief of Security is asking right now.
"Nothing. Qiao Sen shook his head again: "The only thing that can be confirmed is that the other party has never left the house where he lives, and if so, it is at least on the premise of avoiding the watchman's field of vision." Not to mention the "cultists of the other gods" themselves, some of them have established families, and many of them are just ordinary people, but these people still disappear under the noses of the watchers!"
"How's the reaction of the Spirit Monitor, at least the Watcher has this kind of equipment with them?" asked the Chief of Guard.
"I have checked the records, and the Lingzi monitoring response has not been abnormal until the other party disappears, and they all suddenly disappeared directly in the room, which can basically rule out the possibility of a third party responding at the scene. Qiao Sen said, a look of confusion in his eyes: "Judging by the analysis records and the watcher's dictation, it is simply ...... It's like just disappearing out of the house!"
"Could it be that you ran away with a 'shadow stealth' or something?" the chief of the garrison asked, after a moment's thought.
"Not really. Qiao Sen's face was even more distressed and said: "I also thought about this possibility you said, so I later asked for help from those people in the Technical Bureau, and according to the results of on-site sampling and testing, I did not find any spirit child reactions that may have been left over from the use of special transfer methods such as shadow systems." ”
“...... Space transfer, is it possible?" said the security chief after a long silence.
"I can't be sure of this. After all, even with the Empire's current leading spirit guidance technology in the forefront of the countries of the Western Continent, he didn't know much about the mysterious and unpredictable means of space system transfer. Qiao Sen smiled bitterly: "I went to the Technical Bureau again afterwards, and learned that the wide-area spiritual wave monitoring enchantment in the entire territory of the imperial capital did not have a record of being broken at that time, and there was no reaction to even be touched......"
As the most important administrative capital of the empire and the seat of various important figures or institutions, the defensive strength of the imperial capital naturally needs not be said.
Although the current spirit guidance technology has not yet succeeded in researching the results of the space system, there are still magical and extraordinary species such as 'elves' in this world, and the natural skills of 'elves' are strange, and the sneaking and transfer abilities of various elemental systems, including shadow stealth, are not too rare.
Therefore, in order to ensure the safety of the imperial capital, the official organization "Technology Bureau", which was established by gathering a large number of the most high-end technological achievements of the empire, was born.
The 'Wide-area Spiritual Wave Monitoring Enchantment' is one of the signature achievements of the Technology Bureau.
It is used to monitor the spiritual wave reaction in the entire city of the imperial capital, including monitoring the flow of spiritual power in the leylines and the stability of the spiritual wave in each urban area, preventing the invasion of foreign enemies that may exist in areas outside the city, monitoring the external enemies that may occur in the blind spots of the perspective in the underground and high-altitude areas, and early warning and detection of means such as shadow stealth and spatial transfer.
It turns out that this technology is still very useful, after the enchantment is established, the security of the imperial capital has been significantly improved several times compared to the past, and finally it is no longer like in the past that any cat or dog can sneak in and cause trouble, so the work of the garrison has become much easier.
