Generally speaking, the cultural transformation movement for a large civilization will last from two to five generations, and the Kunde people have only been closed and reformed for less than 30 years, so it is too early to talk about opening up.

The empire decided to lift the ban ahead of schedule, and it is estimated that there are some other thoughts.

Han Xiao's eyes rolled, and he had a faint guess.

Although the Kunde clan was defeated, the trillions of remnants are also a rich population resource, and now they are placed in the territory of the Black Star Legion, and they have almost become the pockets of the legion. In the process of cultural transformation, the Black Star Legion is also constantly carrying out ideological construction, publicizing the benefits of the legion, and trying to cultivate the yearning and loyalty of the Kunde people in advance.

The empire is doing this now, probably because it wants to stop the Black Star Legion's propaganda of the Kunde clan as soon as possible, prevent the Legion from continuing to cultivate the ideological trend, avoid the Kunde clan from completely becoming the talent pool of the legion, and at the same time let the Kunde clan who have not been completely transformed cause some trouble for the legion.

"Tsk, this kind of careful thinking ......"

Han Xiao pursed his lips.

I only met with Marbour not long ago, and there was a reaction so quickly, there must be a high-level instruction behind the matter, and the change in the empire's attitude towards itself is faintly visible.

Han Xiao didn't care, but it was good news for him, he muttered for a few seconds, and said: "Reply to the empire, welcome the inspection team to visit, you let people negotiate with the empire to arrange a time, and then we will also arrange an inspection team here to accompany the imperial envoys on the field investigation." ”

"Understood." Sylvia nodded, "There is another thing, the Infinite Consortium has defaulted on the balance of the business of the budding consortium for three months, I asked the finance department to negotiate, but the other party did not give a reply, do you want to ask in person?" ”

"The Infinite Consortium owes me money? Their money flow hasn't been going wrong lately, has it? ”

"Interpais has already made people calculate, the business of the unlimited consortium is very stable, and even the performance in some areas has set new records, and the flow of funds is very healthy, but the other party just drags on and does not give money."

"How much do you owe?"

"A total of 34 cooperation projects, with a total amount of 48.2 billion inars, you ......"

Before Sylvia finished speaking, Han Xiao stared at her and interrupted her words.

"Yo, this hanged man actually owes money and doesn't pay it back, I'll talk to him personally."

After speaking, Han Xiao flipped out Sorokin's private number and dialed it directly.

The bell rang for a moment before the communication finally connected, and a projection of Sorokin appeared on the screen, and his apparently enthusiastic voice was heard.

"Your Excellency Black Star, what a rare guest, I just said how to be in a good mood today, it turns out that a distinguished guest has come to the door, I don't know what you have to say?"

"It's nothing else, it's just that I heard that you owe me a lot of money recently, and I'm here to urge you to settle the final payment."

Han Xiao raised his eyebrows.

Sorokin immediately put on an embarrassed expression, and complained in a heartfelt tone:

"Oh, the consortium has been in a bad situation recently, the flow of funds has been tight, and you also know that in order to maintain its power, in order to maintain its power, hundreds of millions of funds will be burned every day when I open my eyes, and now I can't come up with the money."

"Don't deceive people, am I a decoration when I am in the financial department, my report here is that your business is doing well, and you have expanded a lot of business, and you told me that you have no money?"

"It's because I need to spend more money to open channels to expand my business, and the speed of burning money exceeds estimates, and I really can't draw money."

", don't blame me for not reminding you, if you don't settle the balance within the agreed time limit, you will have to compensate for liquidated damages, don't regret it when the time comes...... By the way, I heard some time ago that you are using your headhunting company to dig into my corner, and you are ready to lure the team of Interpais to jump ship with a high salary, is there such a thing? ”

"Hehe, I'm a businessman, it's all normal business operations, don't take it to heart."

The two of you have been fighting back and forth for a while, and Sorojin doesn't enter the oil and salt, so he doesn't let go and gives money.

Looking at Suo Zai's abnormal performance, Han Xiao's eyes suddenly flashed, and he had a faint guess in his heart, and immediately changed his words, and said meaningfully: "It seems that this is not a business problem, but we have some contradictions in terms of identity." ”

Hearing this, Sorokin showed an expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and said slowly: "I thought we had a tacit understanding of cooperation, but I seem to have thought wrong......"

The two spoke ambiguously, just because they didn't want to leave evidence, and they actually understood what the other meant.

Since Han Xiao took the opportunity of Gao De's disappearance to report Sorokin's abnormal situation to the empire, Sorokin has been searched and targeted by the empire in the open and in secret, and he has had to be careful everywhere in the past two years.

Sorokin initially thought that the empire was searching for suspects normally, so he endured it, but the empire's recent actions made him feel more and more wrong, and he inquired through his connections, and was shocked to find that the motive for the search within the empire was to suspect his identity.

At present, only Black Star knows his secret in the universe, and originally the Infinite Consortium meant to stop Black Star's mouth, but now the empire is targeting itself, and it can only be that Black Star has revealed information, which makes Sorokin angry in his heart.

That's why today's episode is here, since he was betrayed, Sorokin doesn't want to let the Black Star Legion lie on him anymore and suck blood.

"If there's nothing else, I'll go offline first, hehe, there's still work to be done."

Solo Goldpi didn't smile. Hung up the communication

The screen went black, and Han Xiao also put away the communicator, his face playful.

He did it on purpose, forcing Sorokin to turn from darkness to light, and he was curious about what Sorokin would do.

"You think I'm just just blocking you, in fact, I want you to lose your cool, if you take the initiative to attack me, it will be better, I will beat you and become justified."

Han Xiao's eyes flickered, and he smiled.

Sorokin's identity is similar to Gao De, both are a layer of talismans, but Han Xiao dared to move Gao De because of the suppression of the rank, he could see all of Gao De's abilities, and he was sure to take him down steadily. But Sorokin is different, the level is higher than he is now, there are a lot of question marks on the panel, I don't know what means are hidden, Han Xiao is worried about overturning.

The most important thing is that Gao De is too involved, and if you don't do it, everyone will suffer together. And Sorokin's importance is not yet up to this level, so Han Xiao doesn't want to break the rules of the association for personal grudges, which is also the only integrity he has left.

Of course, this is limited to not taking the initiative to attack, if the Solo Golden Dog jumps off the wall in a hurry, then Han Xiao doesn't mind playing a song for him, "Welcome to the Underworld".

……

On the other side, as soon as the connection was cut off, Sorokin's expression fell, and his face was gloomy.

He regretted a little at this time, he shouldn't have hesitated when his identity was broken, and he should have eliminated the hidden danger of Black Star as soon as possible.

Although gathering all the soul seeds will cause this body to be scrapped, and losing this vest can keep the black star, which also puts the vest at risk of being exposed.

Since you will lose blood no matter what, it is better to pull the black star as a backing.

Sorokin's expression was cloudy, and although he was ruthless in his heart, he actually had to be entangled, worrying about whether he was making a big fuss and whether he could do it to Black Star.

"In any case, arrange the back road first, it is a pity to leave such a huge asset of the unlimited consortium to others, I have to find a way to inherit a part of the financial resources, too large the flow of funds, even if it is a black market channel, it will be concerned by all parties, it is best to break it into parts, and turn the funds into physical ......"

Sorokin gritted his teeth.

Regardless of whether you move or not, it is definitely right to prepare a retreat first, so that you can have the confidence to make a move anytime and anywhere, and you will not be passive.

"Black Star's physical body is indestructible, his spirit is the only breakthrough, but this is also relatively speaking, no matter how much he has the peak super A-level resistance level, it is extremely difficult to kill him, and he has the Emperor Mecha, and the plan to exile him to the unexplored universe will not work. Therefore, according to my ability and the cosmic treasures I have secretly collected, there is only one plan with a high success rate, and that is to severely damage or seal his soul, so that he has to fall into a long sleep.

In this case, I'd better get the Soul Flame back, the success rate will be higher, and I don't know if the Soul Flame has a host now, if so, I can only kill him and take back this ability......"

Sorokin said in his heart.

……

A few days later, the Empire and the Black Star Legion agreed on a date for the expedition and sent an emissary from the Central Star Sea to the Shining World.

The Imperial Expedition Team had to spend a lot of time on the road, so Han Xiao instructed the garrison troops of the hundreds of resident stars of the Kunde Clan to spread the news of the upcoming expedition team to every planet, telling the Kunde Clan that as long as they behaved well, they would be able to see the light of day again.

Originally, the inspection of cultural transformation should generally be carried out in secrecy, because once the subject of the investigation knows the news in advance, in order to lift the ban early, it is possible to "cheat" and deceive the inspection team, and there have been similar cases in history.

But this time the empire didn't react, because releasing the Kunde clan early was also their secret target, although Han Xiao's approach was not very in line with the rules, but it was in line with the empire's wishes, so he turned a blind eye. And Han Xiao also hoped that the Kunde clan would lift the ban as soon as possible so that he could get the task reward, so he took the opportunity to act, which not only served the interests of the empire, but also met his own needs, and everyone was happy.

Both sides take what they need, the only difference is that Han Xiao guessed the empire's thoughts, but the empire didn't know what interests he had.

The notice of the imminent arrival of the imperial investigation team quickly spread in every Kunde habiting star, and the many Kunde tribes who had been living in a state of confusion gradually ignited hope.

Kunde Residence Star No. 77, South of Ciudad Ciudad Ciudad Ciudad Cité, Apartment F0044, Rooftop.

Patton stood on a high place, looking at the whole city, only to see the towering gray rectangular apartments neatly arranged, the height, shape, and spacing are exactly the same, like an erected metal coffin, the layout of the city exudes a strong sense of industry, the sky is gray, the setting sun looms in the clouds, and the afterglow gilds the city with a layer of decaying dusk.

Barton lost count of how many times he had seen such a cookie-cutter and lackluster view, which in his eyes was not a city, but more like a large, lifeless prison.

A bitter cold wind blew through, bringing with it the sound behind him.

"Brother Patton, the news says that this is the first inspection of the Red Empire inspection team, can we really leave here?"

Hearing this, Barton looked back and saw hundreds of people standing on the rooftop, all of them young Kunde.

He was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly, his tone categorical.

"Absolutely!"

They were the children of the residents of the apartment, born during the "Great Lockdown era", and Barton was the eldest, the recognized leader of all the young people here.

During the period of cultural transformation, their lives can only be arranged by others, the residential area is planned, the residents of each area are also arranged, and the travel must be reported to the local intelligent management system, and they can only leave the divided living area with permission, and their every move is under surveillance.

The Kunde clan under control is not allowed to develop technology, and the only thing that can be disseminated is only a part of the supernatural knowledge, which is still the handiwork of the Black Star Legion, which regards the Kunde clan as a talent reserve and does not want to cultivate all of them into a dead house.

Cultural transformation has penetrated into all aspects of life, all kinds of daily necessities, news and publicity, educational courses, etc., more than 20 years have passed, and it has become the norm of Kunde life.

But born into the first newborns of the Great Lockdown era, the Kunde once glorious is only in words, and young people cannot imagine what it was like, educated in public schools on the one hand, and hateful from the previous generation on the other.

Some of the elders who experienced the defeat of the Kunde tribe still have unforgettable hatred and warn their descendants not to forget the hatred, while others keep silent and choose to let their descendants forget the past, only in this way can the group have a day when the ban will be lifted and a new future can be had.

Planetary lockdowns, social decline, and divisive ideologies have all created a generation of confusion in which no one knows where the road lies ahead.

Now, with the arrival of the Imperial Investigation Team, they have finally seen hope that is more precious than anything else.

"Maybe we only get this once in a lifetime...... Whoever has an accident is the sinner of the whole race. ”

Barton glanced at the lines of hope and said in a deep voice.

A young man sighed, "Brother Barton, we may not have a problem, but you also know that there are too many hateful people in this apartment alone...... I guess this is not what the expedition team wants to see. ”

Barton was silent for a while, slowly raised the pliers, and saw a subtle arc of electricity beating on the surface of his body, and said in a low voice:

"Somebody needs to lead by example, we still have time to prepare, go ahead, negotiate with everyone in the apartment who harbors hatred, for the sake of the community, they will be interesting.

If there really is someone who is filled with hatred, distorted will, unwilling to make any changes, and drags everyone back......"

Barton's voice paused for a moment, and the carapace was tinged with painful emotion.

"Then kill them, even if there are our families in them."
