Chapter 401: The Next Step
Tang She said with some embarrassment: "My wife didn't mention the existence of 517 to me in the past, not even after we got married, until the trench mentioned 517, she told me that there is such an official organization, if she had told me earlier, maybe something would have been solved." ”
Strictly speaking, in the past, Tang She was just one leg into the other way, and He Chenxue also knew this, so she didn't want Tang She to get involved in the "grievances" between 517 and the other way. The most important thing is that Huang Quan still has some opinions about 517.
Just think, even Huangquan, a sect that has already signed the heretical agreement, is like this, let alone other sects.
Tang She said: "I am now a person from the trench, and I am also a person from the other way, so I propose to use the trench as a bridge to connect the official organizations of the two worlds, and the two sides will cooperate to solve the current problem, after all, if the clues provided by Ai Qi are true, the two parallel worlds will face destruction." ”
Xie Meng said: "How many parallel worlds are there?" ”
Tang She said: "According to our investigation, it is estimated that there are ten. ”
Tang Qianlin said: "The clues I found in the Shaman Spirit Palace are indeed ten. ”
Xingshu thought for a while and said: "In addition to our two worlds, there are still eight parallel worlds left, according to Ai Qi, each world has three points of convergence, even if we solve the problems of the two worlds, what about the remaining eight worlds?" ”
Tang She agreed: "This is our biggest headache. ”
Tang Qianlin asked: "I think the problem is still in the treasures of the twelve sects, and you also mentioned in your information that in the volcanic cave of Beisen Island, you have seen murals painted with the treasures of the twelve sects, which shows that the treasures of the marginal clan, Aiqi, meeting points, different ways and even the treasures of each sect are related to this matter, so what we need to do is to find these treasures as much as possible for research." ”
Xie dreamed of a question: "Ten parallel worlds, there are also ten different paths, twelve sects in each world, then there are 120 sects, 120 treasures?" ”
"Nope." Xingshu immediately denied it, "According to the investigation of the Department of Ancient Science over there, although there are indeed supreme treasures in various sects, they are all looking for them, except for the Qi Sect of our cargo chasers, none of the other sects have found it." And the iron palace I found, I don't know if it's the treasure of the chaser, whether it's Qimen or not. ”
Xie Meng asked suspiciously: "Then the treasures of other sects, there are no clues?" ”
Xingshu shook his head: "No, Director Zhan also searched in Yongcheng over there in the same way that Tang Anshu and them were looking for Lingjian in Yongcheng, and found that there was no such place as Cangcheng under Yongcheng over there." ”
Tang Qianlin seemed to sense something: "Maybe, I mean maybe, even if there are 10 parallel worlds, maybe there are only 12 treasures, scattered among the ten parallel worlds?" ”
The torture technique immediately asked, "How many clues do you have about the treasure?" ”
Tang Qianlin calculated: "On our side, the treasures that have appeared in the world include the Seven Spirits of Sewing a Thousand Corpses, the Tomb of the Earth Master, the Thousand Faces of the Lone Army, the Ten Thousand Beasts of Kyushu, the Secret Armor of the Iron Cloth Gate, and the Dream Weaving of the Corpse Painter. ”
Xie Meng added: "It's a pity that the three treasures of the Seven Spirits, Thousand Faces and Secret Armor are now in the hands of the lone army, and the most regrettable thing is that according to the clues we have gotten, the Seven Spirits have been decomposed, but we don't know exactly what happened." ”
Tang She frowned: "Ling Jian is in our hands, when I went to look for it, I was still in the underground city, and I met Tang Anshu, the minister of the earth, who is now the manager of the trench. ”
Tang Qianlin thought of something: "By the way, although Weaving Dream is in the world, it is gone, because that thing seems to be alive." ”
Xingshu glanced at Tang She and looked very anxious: "Things are very troublesome, so we have to solve the problem of the lonely army, and we must figure out why the lonely army wants to collect the treasures of the twelve sects." ”
Tang Qianlin took another stack of materials from the side and handed it to Tang She: "Our current enemy, in addition to the lone army, also has two organizations, one is called Chenzhou and the other is called Dust. As mentioned in your report of your experience, you have encountered the Dust Order, and they call themselves the Traversers. ”
Tang She nodded: "Yes, this is a very mysterious organization, and their people seem to be able to freely shuttle between various parallel worlds, but I'm not sure if the dust you encountered is the same organization as the dust I encountered. ”
Xie Meng looked at Tang She's report and saw the name of a person mentioned above: "Chang Hongzhi? The man I met who claimed to be the leader of the dust was Chang Hongzhi. ”
Tang She immediately said: "Impossible, Chang Hongzhi is already dead." ”
Xie Meng and Tang Qianlin were surprised, since Chang Hongzhi was dead, where did he come from? Could it be that this dust organization is not the same as the one Tang She encountered now? Or is it borrowing the name dust?
The first meeting was not long, only one day, but during this day, the two sides exchanged detailed information obtained by each other, and agreed that the next formal meeting would be held by the two leaders. That is, Zhan Tianya of the Department of Ancient Science and Lao He of 517.
●
Parallel World, Rongcheng, Department of Paleography.
The one-armed Zhan Tianya sat at the round table, looking at the detailed report of the first informal meeting sent by Tang She, and around him sat Xingshu, Mo Duqiao, Fu Mingwei, and He Wanyi.
(Mo Duqiao and Fu Mingwei are the main characters in the second series of different cultures, "Strange Goods")
Everyone else was looking at the report, and Torture was waiting with their coffee.
A few hours passed, and Zhan Tianya finally raised his eyes and said, "What do you think?" ”
Mo Duqiao was more suspicious: "Are the people over there trustworthy?" ”
Torture asked curiously, "What do you mean?" ”
Mo Duqiao explained: "I read your report and found that the biggest threat is not the dust we originally identified, but the lone army, at least the lone army in the opposite world, we can't rule out that the 517 of that world is mixed with the lone undercover agent, if we cooperate with each other and are learned by the lone undercover agent, what will happen next?" ”
Zhan Tianya looked at Fu Mingwei and asked, "Mingwei, what is your opinion?" ”
Fu Mingwei came back to his senses: "What Mo Duqiao said makes sense, this is an unavoidable problem, I am very concerned, the way of cooperation between us, although they have agreed not to let the foreign forces of the parallel worlds of the two sides intervene, but in fact, the Department of Ancient Science where we are located is part of the SCA, at present, the level of science and technology on our side is much higher than theirs, and we first discovered the way to cross the parallel world." What will it lead to if we conceal from the United Nations and establish cooperation with them privately? ”
After hearing this, Zhan Tianya did not rush to express his opinion, but asked He Wanyi: "Wanyi, you are the person in charge of Huangquan, what do you think from the perspective of a different way?" ”
"I don't have any opinions." He Wanyi spread her hands, "I just didn't expect that the alien path on their side would be so chaotic, and the most important thing is that the alien technique that I thought had disappeared has reappeared in the other world, and it's okay for us to build a bridge to deal with the crisis together, but what if something leaks and the alien path between our two worlds establishes a connection?" Could the alien ways of the world we live in give rise to other ideas? ”
Mo Duqiao was worried about whether there was a problem within 517, Fu Mingwei was worried that the Ministry of Ancient Science of China would violate the agreement to join the SCA at that time by concealing the cooperation between the United Nations and the other party's 517, while He Wanyi was afraid that the parallel world they were in would have a connection with the other world in which 517 was located, which would lead to total chaos.
Zhan Tianya picked up the teacup: "Since the problem has been raised, let's solve it first, and I will talk about my opinions for your reference." ”
Everyone nodded and looked at Zhan Tianya.
Zhan Tianya said: "First, whether there are lone undercover agents inside 517, no one can say this, I believe they don't know, but they will also conduct self-inspection, so we must agree on the personnel involved in the cooperation plan, report information to each other, and the number of people on both sides must be controlled, that is to say, the fewer people in the know, the better." Second, the problem that Fu Mingwei said, after all, the original intention of the establishment of the Ministry of Paleoscience was the same as 517, and later joined the SCA to investigate and study unnatural and supernatural phenomena related to international cooperation, investigation and research, as well as the investigation and arrest of illegal trespassers, however, in our agreement with the United Nations, one point is very clear, if it involves China's internal affairs, it is not allowed for UN agencies to interfere, so, in connection with the first point, we cooperate with 517 in the parallel world, and do not violate the agreement, But we still have to report this to the higher authorities, because our Ministry of Paleography is part of the People's Republic of China, and the same is true for 517. ”
Zhan Tianya finished speaking in one breath, slowed down, took a sip of tea and looked at He Wanyi: "As for the problems related to the different ways that Wanyi said, we must first avoid leaking news from our Department of Ancient Sciences, and at the same time, we must closely monitor the relevant trends of the different ways, and activate the first-level confidentiality agreement. ”
He Wanyi frowned and said: "At that time, people from different ways will say that only the state officials are allowed to set fires and not allow the people to light lamps, why can the Ministry of Ancient Science contact the other party, but not the different ways?" ”
Zhan Tianya said coldly: "The country has tanks and warships for national defense, but what do private individuals want to have tanks and ordnance for?" ”
He Wanyi nodded slightly, although she was still very worried, the alien way is the same as ordinary people, especially some people are originally out of touch with the normal world, so their thoughts are all subjective, just thinking from a so-called narrow perspective of fairness or not, and will not consider the overall situation, and will not consider whether their actions will have serious consequences.
Zhan Tianya said again: "The next time we meet with the head of 517, I will suggest that we both choose the same location, establish an official crossing channel, establish contact and cooperation first, solve what is happening now, and ...... next."
Torture asked, "What's next?" ”
Zhan Tianya said: "Next, we should look for other parallel worlds, because just our two worlds are not enough to solve the biggest crisis. ”
