Chapter 74: XS and the Dark River Network
And there's an interesting description of the name, 'XS Foundation'.
The 'X' stands for the unknown, the variable, and the infinite possibilities. The 'S' represents the highest level of the BUG source creation. That's why the big guy who founded the 'XS Foundation' named the organization 'XS'.
The metaphor of 'XS' is to treat the source of the bug creation through countless ways such as collecting, sealing, managing, and trading.
As for the name 'Foundation', it is because of this organization that can trade bug source creations. You can even accept commissions to capture the source of bugs.
In this large description, Chen Feng expressed great interest in the appearance of the two words.
The first word was 'trade', and he realized that the original BUG source creation could actually be traded.
The second word is 'capture', and as you can see from the description, this 'XS Foundation' is entrusted to the entire Federation world. Whether it's the dereliction of duty of the extraordinary that leads to the leakage of the source of the BUG, or the private interest of the corporate chaebol, this foundation takes everything to suit all needs.
From the perspective of Chen Feng's current level, the purpose of this foundation can be called a great rebellion and lawlessness.
Because in the extraordinary system, the BUG source creation is a dangerous item that must be sealed and kept. Even in the three guidelines of the extraordinary, the management of the source of the bug is listed separately, and it must be ensured that the source of the bug is properly placed and cannot be left outside, otherwise it will be judged.
In other words, according to common sense, only the extraordinary system under the authority of the church has the power to dispose of the source of the bug.
However, the 'XS Foundation' completely ignores the extraordinary system and forms a separate organization of its own, with the right to dispose of the bug source creations.
What Chen Feng couldn't understand was that this 'XS Foundation' was grandly written into the "Comprehensive Description of the BUG Source Creation". That is, this organization is recognized by the church.
'Another organization of extraordinary beings of an official character or privileges?' Chen Feng looked for the founder of this organization in a large section of the explanation with great interest.
But apart from being called a big guy, he doesn't have a real name at all.
In other words, a mysterious and unknown figure created the organization, and had equal power with the extraordinary institutions of the Church, and was acquiesced in.
Since it is included in the archives and listed in clear text, it is definitely equivalent to the official. But it doesn't belong to any church, and even the founder doesn't have a name.
Then the background of this big man is very high-end. Or one of the Thirteen Apostles? Or is it simply the handiwork of a god's spokesman? ’
But Chen Feng couldn't find an answer, so he could only give a thumbs up with a sentence of 'cow break'.
After reading this page of the description of the 'XS Foundation', there is actually another page at the end. Chen Feng opened it curiously, and his eyes lit up again.
The 'XS Foundation' has built a 'Dark River Network' in addition to the World Entity Network built by the Supreme Heaven. Extraordinary people in the entire federal world can enter this 'dark river network' anonymously.
All commissions or transactions of the Foundation are carried out in the 'Dark River Network'.
Since there is no regulation of the world's main body network, this 'dark river network' can be called a place outside the law. Any client or trader will be kept strictly confidential.
This simply cannot be summed up in a single sentence of 'bull breaking', and it is a privilege to go hand in hand with the six major churches.
'Who is the founder of the Foundation?' Is it really the spokesman of the gods? Chen Feng was so impressed that he couldn't express it.
If you think about the dark side, the 'XS Foundation' may be a 'money-collecting institution' tacitly approved by the six major churches, or a 'back door' by default. What is difficult for the official to come forward, it is done by this shady hidden organization?
But this is just Chen Feng's personal speculation.
I am afraid that the truth can only be known by those who are high in the church.
Chen Feng's gaze saw the last paragraph:
"To apply for access to the 'XS Foundation's Dark River Network, a temporary pass must be recommended by a member. The pass cannot be regularized until full membership is obtained. ”
The question is, how do I know who the members are? Chen Feng couldn't help but complain.
But then it occurred to me that since the Foundation had already recorded it, several old members of the Secret Institute, such as Captain Fan Yin, Wilde, or Bingo, must be qualified for membership.
Chen Feng pondered for a long time, and then put the book back on the bookshelf with emotion. After calming down, he began to look for the next target again.
But just as he was thinking about it, the entire bookshelf space began to twist and fragment. A large number of real scenes began to turn into colorful spots and color blocks, and the virtual visions like the rain in the matrix reappeared.
Before Chen Feng could come back to his senses, everything in front of him had collapsed.
Immediately, another sight appeared in his view, returning to the study where Wilde had been stationed. The surroundings became quiet and peaceful again, returning to reality.
"How? Isn't it a big deal? ”
Wilde sat opposite Chen Feng, holding a wine glass full of purple red wine, and looked at Chen Feng with a smile:
"It's time for you to enter the archives, so you'll have to wait for the next application."
Chen Feng froze and secretly sighed at the strangeness of the scene switch, and then didn't discuss any other gossip, and asked straight to the point:
"Sir Wilde, do you know about the XS Foundation?"
Wilde's smiling demeanor stiffened imperceptibly, and then he took a sip of wine, raised his eyes and looked at Chen Feng and said:
"Of course, every official member of the Extraordinary Squad, who has entered the archives to check the materials, will know the name of this organization."
After Chen Feng received an affirmative answer, he immediately asked in a low voice, "Sir Wilde, do you think I am qualified to apply for the 'Dark River Network'?" ”
Wilde didn't seem surprised by Chen Feng's inquiry, after all, every extraordinary person would have an incomparable curiosity when they first saw the description of the 'XS Foundation'.
"Before answering your question, I think it's important to tell you that the description of the 'XS Foundation' that you have seen is likely to be a brief description of two or three hundred years ago."
Wilde stared at the wine glass in his hand, shook the wine slightly, and said in a thoughtful manner:
"Although it has been a long time since I have entered the 'Dark River Network' and participated in the commissioning and trading of the 'XS Foundation'. But today's Foundation is not what it is described in that book. ”
Chen Feng looked at Wilde with doubts, waiting for the following.
Wilde continues:
"The previous 'XS Foundation', as described, was a special organization created by the creation of bugs. But after an unknown number of years of development, this organization has become more than just a source of bugs. ”
"Their commissions and transactions began to include dangerous acts such as the exploration of ancient monuments, anonymous assassinations, and the excavation of relics from hell. Although the Church turns a blind eye to this, it makes the extraordinaries involved feel safe for purpose.
However, there have been many extraordinary people who have died unexpectedly or directly out of control due to these dangerous and crazy behaviors! ”
Wilde stopped the shaking of the wine glass in his hand, drank a small half glass, and muttered, "I don't recommend that you enter the 'Dark River Network' and participate in the commissions and transactions organized by the 'XS Foundation'. ”
After hearing this, Chen Feng pondered carefully, although he was slightly disappointed, he was also grateful for Wilde's kindness, and nodded: "Okay, Sir Wilde, then I will no longer inquire about these dangerous and crazy privacy." ”
Wilde obviously saw the little disappointment that Chen Feng was hiding, there was a smile in his eyes, his nails flicked on the wine glass, and said:
"First acquaintance, first contact, satisfy some curiosity. But it's okay not to go deeper, not to fall into danger and madness. With your ability and intelligence, it is not impossible to go in and observe once in a while, and know more about the small movements in the extraordinary system. ”
'The extraordinary sequence of the Psychic Jue, I really like to spy on people's hearts...... Chen Feng secretly scolded, but still said gratefully:
"You mean, can you recommend me to go inside?"
"Of course, it's just a small thing for me. If it were someone else, I might not be willing to take responsibility. But for you, I can help you appropriately and satisfy your curiosity. ”
Wilde smiled, his gaze fixed on the glass, as if frozen for a few seconds. After a moment, he raised his head again and said, "It's okay, the temporary pass for the 'Dark River Network' has been teleported to your personal chip. ”
"Ah...... So fast! Chen Feng was pleasantly surprised, and immediately touched the personal chip behind his head with the fingers of his mechanical prosthetic leg, and activated the chip cyberspace to view.
Sure enough, in the virtual private space, one is triangular, with a dark yellow body with black patterned edges, and in the center is a beautiful pattern of 'XS' font pictograms, glowing with a dark and deep shimmer, quietly suspended.
'This is the XS Foundation's Dark River Pass?' Chen Feng sensed this triangular mark, and there was a mysterious and unpredictable, but also a strange sense of concealment.
"Through it, you can enter the 'Dark River Network' and get in touch with the inner side of the 'XS Foundation'."
Wilde spoke, but he didn't know what to remember, and showed a strange smile: "The first time you enter, you may feel a kind of surprise...... Well, the unexpected unrealism ......"
'Unexpected unreality? Chen Feng pondered this sentence.
"Try it, there's no safer environment than this archive." Wilde took a sip of his drink and said:
"You can try to go in and have a look, anyway, today is a holiday, just like a short trip to explore the unknown......"
After Chen Feng heard this, he was even more eager to try.
He took a deep breath, and with apprehension and curiosity, he connected to the temporary pass of the 'XS Foundation' with his authority in his personal chip space.
Almost instantly, a large number of virtual lines intertwined with dark yellow and dark black swirled in his spiritual consciousness, like a mysterious passage rendered by a huge rendering.
