Chapter 53: Their Purpose
"Inevitably. And it will definitely come to fruition sooner than the Gate of Truth - because this is still almost an embryo. Ueno Kanyanagi looked directly at him, "If the Gate of Truth tries to mass-produce capable people for use in warfare, then we must do the same." So have you ever wondered what would happen if we did? โ
Li Zhen's face gradually became solemn. He pondered for a moment and said in a low voice, "The number of capable people will continue to expand...... Perhaps there will be flaws in this transformation - no technique is perfect from the start. Then the secrets of our people will no longer be secrets, and the public will know about them. If we were all human beings with normal emotions like you and me, maybe it would be better to say. But if it's a 'mass product' for combat use...... Triggering panic is almost inevitable. โ
"Whether there is a defect or not is only one aspect." Ueno Kanyanagi sighed, "The most serious problem is that the Gate of Truth is happy to see such an outcome. They are waiting for Judgment Day. โ
Li Zhenhu looked at him suspiciously: "You mean...... Do you take that slogan seriously? โ
After saying these words, both Li Zhen and Ueno Guanliu's emotions were slightly soothed, and their words became a little casual. Ueno Kanliu smiled: "I know that there are not many of you Chinese who believe in Catholicism. In fact, the same is true of the Japanese, but just like the legend of Chiyu...... What reason is there to think that a legend is not credible? An organization like the Gate of Truth would not have had something convincing to unite the peopleโnothing but vague beliefs and legends...... Do you think it's possible for them to persist until now? โ
Li Zhen snorted and looked at him thoughtfully: "That's it." The next thing you're going to tell me is the unknowable? โ
"Yes." Ueno Kanliu looked directly at him, "Major Li Zhen, can I trust you?" โ
Li Zhen bowed his head and pondered. Then he let out a long breath and smiled slightly, "If it's a legitimate and just reason - then if you trust the Lord of Ice and Wind, you can trust me." โ
Ueno Kanyanagi nodded: "Okay." Then listen carefully. โ
"The ultimate goal of the Gate of Truth is to return to the Garden of Eden and establish a world ruled by the Holy Spirit. They believe that there must be a stage before they go through itโthe "judgment day" referred to in the Bible. However, that group of people did not agree with some of the views of Catholicism, or rather, they did not agree with most of the views of Catholicism. They even denounced the Bible as apocrypha. Ueno Kanliu said in an unhurried tone, and at the same time looked at Li Zhen. You can think of their so-called ultimate goal as a dream. But you should not be able to deny the fact that prophets do exist, and that what they foretold will happen. โ
Li Zhen remembered the prophecy he had heard before the Shennongjia incident. So he smiled faintly. For the prophet of the empire before him prophesied "the blood of thousands, the blood of the earth." However, although the secret service suffered heavy losses, it did not reach the number of "thousands and hundreds". He always felt that the prophecy was a little off. Or...... What he was talking about was not the Shennongjia incident.
But Ueno Kanyanagi took his smile as a tacit acquiescence. So he continued: "That goal of the Gate of Truth. It is based on a prophecy of that prophet. They think that their 'Lord', though they don't know what he means for a while, will awaken. And before the Lord awakens, the Day of Judgment will come. The Bible describes the Day of Judgment as the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse who will descend on earth. Resurrection of the Dead โ Humanity is destroyed by its own desires, receives the final judgment, and the doers of good are given 'eternal life'. โ
But at the Gate of Truth, the matter is not over. They prophesied that after the final judgment there would be an eternal kingdom, the Garden of Eden, and that the Holy Spirit would reign over the earthly realm. The key point is in the 'Holy Spirit' โ what do you think that is? โ
Li Zhen frowned slightly, and spit out two words: "Species? โ
"For now, that's right." Ueno Kanyanagi nodded, "According to them, that creature that is almost immortal and immortal is the closest thing to a divine being. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse may only refer to Adam and Chiyou, both of whom can be regarded as the 'Holy Spirit' in their mouths. As for human desires, the awakened dead...... All we can think of is the possible research and testing that the Inspection Agency and the Secret Service will conduct next. Adam's strength can alienate ordinary people, so how far can it be processed by humans? I don't know if you've ever watched a series of movies......"
"Resident Evil?" Li Zhen realized what he was going to say.
"It's not just a movie." Ueno Kanyanagi said solemnly, "The producer of that series of movies...... The background is the door to truth. They're trying to instill something, and they're quite successful. It's hard to imagine how many people there are in the world now...... I was convinced that the scene depicted in that movie would one day come. โ
"But they detonated a hydrogen bomb in the Pacific Ocean โ seemingly to destroy a species." Li Zhen said.
"That's true. So our conjecture is...... They are collecting as much information and samples as possible about the species, even if it is in the form of violent destruction. Once the resources are sufficient and the conditions are sufficient, it is even possible for that group of people to repeat the scene in the movie - to start the so-called 'Last Judgment' with their own strength. Or they may 'make gods'โcreate the 'Holy Spirit' in their hearts, that is, the kind. โ
If these words hadn't come out of the mouth of the chief intelligence officer of the Tokyo Metropolitan Inspection Agency, Li Zhen would have thought that the other party was paranoid. "The Garden of Eden," "the kingdom of the Holy Spirit"โsuch things seem rather ridiculous in any case. Because here...... It's the realm of the real world. It is a modern human society built of steel, cement, and machinery. In such a world, what kind of ideal country is empty...... Only the ancients of thousands of years ago would have believed it.
But then he thought of himself.
Myself...... It's not just an ordinary human being. If a person can fly, it's hard to kill, if they can control fire and thunder, and then they can control something else with their minds, or even manipulate ice and snow and wind like an ice kingโ
What's the difference between that and the gods in myths and legends?
So he whispered, "What you mean is that whether the Inspection Department and the Secret Service, or even other agencies want to or not, they will eventually become the help of the Gate of Truth." โ
"Exactly." Ueno Kanliu straightened up and said, "No one will be tempted by the obvious benefits in front of them." As soon as the 'fruits' of the Gate of Truth appear on the battlefield, then we will inevitably react in that way. The inspection hall may have scruples, but your country ...... Your country has been proud for too long. For a long time, they would not believe that there was any power that could not be controlled by them. โ
"I see." Li Zhen sighed slightly, "So, what are you going to do?" โ
"Destroy it directly." Ueno Guanliu looked at Li Zhen, "I know that Your Excellency has this ability. โ
Li Zhen shook his head lightly: "You can't help but look down on me." This guy can adapt to the heat in the magma pool...... Maybe you won't be as afraid of my abilities as Chi You. โ
Ueno Kanyanagi nodded: "We did consider this possibility. So that's just the first scenario. The second is to capture it, leave it in Japan, and then we will choose to seal it forever, or destroy it completely. But we can't let the Secret Service get this stuff - our hands can't get there. โ
Li Zhen was silent for a while.
The car drove steadily, and there were almost no bumps in the cabin. But he didn't expect that this kind of thing would happen to him on the first night he came to Japan, which made his heart turbulent.
Ueno Kanyanagi uses the word "we" several times, implying that he is indeed an agent of an organization in the inspection hall, or a nail that has been planted. That organization...... Will it be the Heart Society?
It's hard to imagine that such a small group in China has such a huge influence in Japan. Can the king of ice and wind do this?
He looked at his watch. There are five minutes left.
So Li Zhen said: "You joined the Heart Society in Sun Muran's era?" โ
Ueno Kanyanagi smiled.
Then that's the confirmation.
"I agree with some of you. I'll try to destroy it in battle, if I have the chance. Li Zhen said slowly, "But if it is captured, I will not be able to cooperate with you to keep it in Japan." Just as you don't trust the Secret Service, I'm not likely to trust the Inspectorate as an executive of the Secret Service. โ
Ueno Kanliu was about to say something, but Li Zhen interrupted him with a wave of his hand.
"Maybe you're really working for the Heart Societyโbut I didn't know much about this organization before. Or that they don't know the true face of this organization. Therefore, I cannot trust you unreservedly just by saying, 'Knowing good and knowing evil is conscience.'" I can keep what you just told me a secret. But then, I have my own way of doing it. โ
He smiled: "I hope you can understand. โ
Ueno Guanliu looked at Li Zhen and turned his head: "That one has a very high opinion of you. โ
He subconsciously shook the handle of the knife: "And you will always have the opportunity to know what kind of people we are." โ
"Why don't you tell me now?" Li Zhen said with a smile.
"Idle words do not describe our lofty ideals." Ueno Kanliu Masase said, "I also hope that Your Excellency will not treat us like those mediocre people." The word "Heart Society" is more than just a name. โ
"So what are your ideals?" Li Zhen asked.
"Everything we should do." Ueno Kanyanagi said briefly.
Li Zhen smiled: "It's very general." Or - to maintain peace in the world? โ
Ueno Kanyanagi raised an eyebrow. So Li Zhen waved his hand: "There is no malice." It's not even a joke, it's just a more intuitive way to express it. I'm curious, just how powerful are you? โ
The other party pondered for a moment, lowered the partition in front of the seat, put away his mobile phone, and smiled slightly: "You will always know the truth." (To be continued.) )
