Chapter 441: The predecessor of the Sword Pavilion
The figures of the two standing on the seashore pulled out a long shadow under the light of the first quarter moon.
After hearing his partner's question clearly, a strange look appeared on Ren Yuan's face
"Hey, come up and ask such a direct question?"
"Why, can't you answer that?" Yu Qian said calmly, "I thought you pulled me out of Villa No. 6 because you wanted to tell me something supreme secret. ”
"Oh? Do you also suspect that the surveillance at Villa Six is not completely turned off? Ren Yuanqi said
"No, it's just that I think since Zhang Changxu can turn it off unconsciously with a word, then it's not difficult to open it unconsciously, right?"
"Yes, old fish, you have grown a lot." Ren Yuan couldn't stop complimenting
"I've always been cautious, I just can't keep up with you weirdos." Yu Qian rolled his eyes and said, "So what's going on with the 'Sword Pavilion'?" ”
"Well, I do want to talk to you tonight about the disaster department, but I'll be ahead of the curve. What I'm going to say next, in your words, is something you shouldn't know. Do you really want to know? Ren Yuan asked meaningfully
"At first, I thought I just needed to do my job, but in the past half a month, I have become more and more confused about what my job is." Yu Qian sighed: "To be honest, things have developed to this point, and I don't know who to trust at all. Whether it's Commissioner Zhang, or Shangguan Zhenshou, or the two of the mercenary team... I always felt like everyone was hiding something from others. ”
"Sometimes I wonder if what I'm experiencing now is a dream, or is it a real reality? You know, I went to see my boss at the police station a while ago, and I learned from him that all my personal information had been taken over by the ministry. Yu Qian turned his face and asked, "You said that if I die now, will anyone really remember everything that happened in the last days of my life?" ”
"You're also on a temporary duty at the police station now." Ren Yuan reminded
"I understand that the reason why Xiaoxin will call me Officer Yu is that Commissioner Zhang still wants me to be attached to the police station even if he seals my information. It is to help me leave an anchor point among ordinary people, as a link between me and normal society. ”
"Your perception is starting to waver?"
"Maybe... Is what I'm experiencing now really a reality? Yu Qian shook his head and said, "I often think that maybe when I wake up tomorrow morning, you or Ziwen will evaporate like a cloud to everyone in the disaster department." All of this is actually just an illusory reality that I have imagined, and when I wake up, this dream beyond common sense will dissipate. ”
Ren Yuan was silent for a moment and said softly, "I know what you're worried about, if a person is away from reality for too long, maybe for him, the dream realm is closer to reality." But don't worry, at least until I'm gone, everything you have now will live in my memory. ”
"It sounds a little creepy to be remembered like that." Yu Qian smiled
"It's kind of hurtful for you to say that, hey."
"Anyway." Yu Qian stopped smiling and said seriously, "I'm starting to think about it now, should I change my current state and stop going with the flow like this." Instead of passively trying to find the truth between the true and the false, it is better to simply take the initiative to explore all the truths. If I die so inexplicably now, I won't give up. ”
"Be careful, there's an abyss ahead, curiosity will kill the cat." Ren Yuan reminded with a malicious face, "And what I tell you may not be the truth." ”
"That's better than the current situation, people will never stop their curiosity. I'm going to try to gather everything and dig out what I think is the truth. Besides, if the search for truth is abandoned, then what is the difference between fantasy and reality? Yu Qian said solemnly, "Even if this is really a dream, I want to know what kind of dream I am in." Since you've all told me that this is a war to defend human civilization, at least I need to know what I'm fighting for and what I'm facing. ”
"Looking for faith?" Ren Yuan asked with squinted eyes
"The difference between a soldier and cannon fodder is whether you understand why you are charging, what do you say?"
"Well, now that you're enlightened, there's no need for me to worry about it anymore. Sword Pavilion... I wonder where to start. Ren Yuan raised his hand and knocked on the door of his head, and said slowly, "Before you joined the company, Zhang Changxu introduced you to the organizational structure of the disaster department, right?" ”
"Well, show me a workbook with an internal science nature." Yu Qian nodded and replied (see Chapter 131 for details)
"Ahhhhhh Ren Yuan smiled and asked, "How do you feel?" ”
"Hmm... It's quite messy, to the Ministry of Disasters. Yu Qian frowned and said, "I don't really understand why the Thunder Dragon Brigade composed of Inhumans was on the front line, with so much autonomy, and then made a sharp blade brigade to supervise." The original simple and effective overall system of intelligence, action, supervision, and aftermath has been dismantled into a three-legged model. And in actual operation, I feel that there are a lot of permissions granted outside of various rules, which is becoming more and more confusing. ”
"You're right to think so, for a practical operational unit, this kind of organizational structure is cumbersome and inefficient. In short, joining the two departments of the Thunder Dragon Brigade and the Blade Brigade is completely asking for trouble. Speaking of this, Ren Yuan's tone paused slightly, and he asked rhetorically, "But what if, I tell you that the first one is the Blade Brigade, and the other four departments are added later?" ”
"The first to be the Blade Brigade?" Yu Qian's face was slightly stunned, "Although I don't understand the use of having such a regulatory department, it doesn't prevent the organizational structure from being reintegrated and streamlined, right?" ”
"Then what if the Blade Brigade can't be streamlined?"
"This...", combined with the fact that the Blade Brigade does not concurrently hold any fixed administrative positions except for temporary commissioners. Yu Qian suddenly realized something, and his complexion changed dramatically, and he asked tentatively, "Could it be that the Blade Brigade is not an agency of our government?" ”
"Blade Brigade, of course. But it can't be said that it is entirely. Ren Yuan said, "You remember that I told you before that the matter of the Blade Brigade and the Sword Pavilion is very complicated, right?" ”
"Yes."
"To put it simply, the Sword Pavilion itself is an independent organization. After cooperating with the government of country Z, together with the public servants provided by the government of country Z, it is collectively called the Blade Brigade. So you can say that the people in the Sword Pavilion all belong to the Sword Pavilion, but you can't say that the Sword Brigade is all the people of the Sword Pavilion. ”
"Like me? No wonder Su Xiaoyu said to me before, usually Long Mu is a member of the Sword Pavilion. Yu Qian suddenly pointed to himself and said, "I belong to the Blade Brigade, but I am not from the Sword Pavilion, right?" ”
"You understand very quickly, but it's not a good idea." Ren Yuan smiled and said, "You are the Long Mu selected by Zhang Changxu, and he is a person from the Sword Pavilion, so it is not impossible to say that you are a person from the Sword Pavilion." ”
"Isn't Commissioner Zhang also from country Z?" Yu Qian was puzzled, "Then before cooperating with the government, what kind of institution was the Sword Pavilion?" ”
"Speaking of which, in fact, the title of Sword Pavilion itself was taken after cooperating with the government of country Z. Including the name of the department of the Blade Brigade, it also evolved from the name Sword Pavilion. Thirty years ago, it wasn't called that. ”
"And what is it called?" Yu Qian found that the situation seemed to be far from being as simple as he imagined.
"Well, that organization is huge, and there are many different names. After all, the Sword Pavilion is also a product of the split from it, and that is where the current Sword Pavilion and these people used to exist. Speaking of this, Ren Yuan seemed to recall what happened a long time ago, and his eyes suddenly crossed the wide sea and stretched out into the distance.
"It doesn't really matter what the organization is called, you just need to know what they want to do."
"What do they want to do?" Yu Qian asked
"God-making."
"Creating a !! God" Yu Qian was stunned and exclaimed, "Isn't that the Advent Sect?" So my government also chose to cooperate with the Adventists? ”
"No, what the Adventists want is to gain power that is different from reality through communication with the gods they see as a god, the alien source." Ren Yuan shook his head and said solemnly, "And what that organization wants to do is to create a new god. Create a god of humanity to protect our world. ”
"Wait a minute..."Yu Qian felt his intracranial blood pressure soar rapidly, and his head, which had risen in just a few seconds, began to feel uncomfortable, "I can't catch up with the rhythm of your speech." In other words, thirty years ago, there was an organization that wanted to create gods by manpower, that is, to create an alien source? ”
"Yes."
"It's the creation of an alien with a separate world like the Moonlight Lord?"
"Strictly speaking, the Moonlight Lord can be called a minor heretic. But that organization is more ambitious, they want to create a true god for the world. Ren Yuan said in a deep voice
"What would happen if a true god was created in this world?" Yu Qian asked nervously
"Then, you can reach the true end." Ren Yuan's voice became more and more ethereal: "The true god is omniscient and omnipotent, and it is the supreme existence. It can reveal all truths, it can create everything in the world, and it can destroy everything. ”
"It doesn't sound like a reassuring thing." Yu Qian felt that his throat was very dry, and asked in a dumb voice, "Then this is actually not fundamentally different from what the Advent Sect did, right?" It's even more dangerous. ”
"Of course, there is an essential difference." Ren Yuan sneered, "What the Adventists do is just like a swarm of ants jumping up and down, trying in vain to attract the occasional passerby to respond to their performance art. As for what will happen next, it depends on the mood of passers-by. But that organization is not, they are also a swarm of ants, but they want to breed humans in the nest. ”
"They don't just want to create gods." The expression on Ren Yuan's face became more and more complicated, it was a strange table of admiration and contempt, sigh and disdain, shock and loss, etc
"They also want to cultivate the gods, educate the gods, and eventually enslave the gods. They want to use the gods they have created to become masters of this universe, this plane of reality. They want to use the gods they have created themselves to fulfill their will. ”
"If they succeed, that's the worst act of blasphemy, right?" Yu Qian pulled the corners of his mouth with difficulty, wanting to make a cold joke to ease the shock in his heart, "Do you want to play the god cultivation game?" Isn't this idea a little too backward now? ”
"Do you mean a book of god cultivation?" Ren Yuan smiled, "If they really want to succeed, the result will be much more exciting than the butter plot." ”
"Since the world hasn't been turned into a cultivation game of the eighteen bans now, they still failed." Yu Qian smiled awkwardly, "It sounds shocking, but this kind of thing really can't succeed." ”
"Isn't it possible to succeed?" After a pause, Ren Yuan narrowed his eyes and said lightly
"Not really..."
