Volume II: The Land of the Believers 74
In the old photograph of the plastic seal, a gold plate shimmers with a strange golden glow under the flash. The photo was placed on the coffee table, and the middle-aged man with long hair like a woman and a black jade wrench on his index finger and thumb did not look at the photo again.
"This is the photo we found at Oda's house, and the mission is complete." Even at night, the man with the blood knight's shield tattooed on the back of his neck wears sunglasses.
"It's no wonder that Suzuki wasn't afraid to leak the method into Eden in the first place, and let those people leave a record. I guess only he knows the real way. ”
"Didn't you find a fake two years ago, maybe there will be a clue to the real thing. Moreover, the Luo family and Suzuki used to have a close relationship. The man in sunglasses said.
"Hmm... Although it is possible, however, it may be that the Luo family itself is the one who has been deceived. I don't think that weird monster from Suzuki could give his secrets to someone who isn't even related to him. He can even do it with his blood relatives. However, if you think it's possible to get your hands on it, give it a try. ”
"Yes."
"Go down," said the long-haired middle-aged man, pointing to the servant beside him, "and go and call Ju Twilight." ”
The servant bowed and walked out.
……
After a while, a young man in a white coat walked in.
"Father." The young man just nodded, his eyes staring ahead, but there was no such thing as his father.
"Divine Forbidden Fruit, how is the cooperation?"
"The 'Angel Body' project has reached the final stage, and the final problem will probably be solved in the near future, and mass production should be put into operation within a year or two." Long Juhui replied to his father.
"Davide still has some skills, but the core is still in the hands of his henchmen 'scalpel'. Can you get the key technology? I don't want to be held to his orders in the future. A muffled snort came from the middle-aged man's nose.
"Even if I have a good grasp of it, it is difficult to form mass production in a short period of time without a matching experimental setup. Moreover, there seem to be other projects going on within Miller's laboratory at the same time, and they seem to be no less important than the 'Angel Body'. Long Juyu said.
"Oh, Davide's picture doesn't seem to be smaller than Suzuki... It's just that these two people are more insidious than the other, no one knows all their hole cards, and they all like to hide in the dark, hum! Picking up the tequila on the side, the middle-aged man shook his glass and drank it in one gulp.
"If you can't get your hands on it, do some tricks and do some sabotage, but don't let him be too satisfied."
……
Even if you have an internship, there are still some necessary courses that need to be taken back to the college. Even though Luo Wei had planned to drop out of the school when the special application was approved, he was still a student of the Silver Apostle Academy before he was approved.
In the past two years, there has been a sudden increase in fighting between the apostles, and almost every once in a while, there will be a situation in the city where buildings are destroyed or ordinary citizens are injured due to the fighting between the apostles. This also led to a further deterioration of the public opinion environment regarding the apostles. Even if he goes out now, Luo Wei will not wear the uniform of the Silver World Apostle Academy, but chooses to change into the locker room after arriving at the school.
Boycott of apostolic slogans and demonstrations also intensified. Everyone felt as if the chaos had begun to begin.
The voices calling for the apostles to permanently wear the Sacred Energy Suppression Device have become louder and louder, and they have even reached the point of submitting special bills and laws to the Parliament and the Apostolic Special Legislative Committee.
"Apostolic citizens should be permanently restricted from their abilities, out of consideration for the social order and for respect for the citizenship of other citizens. Divine energy does not come from human beings themselves, but from theft, and when we look back at the source, it is not justified in itself. In the news, many scholars have publicly expressed their views on the issue of "divine energy limitations."
On the other hand, the apostolic side reacted more violently due to the resistance of ordinary citizens. In the Apostolic Academy, the apostolic position, the radical and hawkish apostolic cadets are growing in their voices, advocating for more equal and even higher civil rights. And many of the traditional, and even neutral apostles, have defected to the hawkish camp.
"Over the years, ordinary citizens have treated us as aliens, we have never enjoyed real fair rights, we have been restricted in many ways, they fear us, and they even mutilate us on trumped-up charges..."
Luo Wei walked into the Silver Apostle Academy, and saw the apostles who were levitating in mid-air with the help of levitation devices, and were giving their own fierce speeches, he couldn't imagine how this society would develop in the future. Will there be another worldwide war?
Luo Wei walked into the classroom, and as soon as he sat down, he saw that Iggie was also seated.
"I've seen you a lot lately." It's rare for Iggy to take care of him.
"Internship." Luo Wei's answer was simple.
"Do me a favor." Iggy asked directly.
"What's the busy?"
"Pretending to be my boyfriend."
Rowe looked at Iggy with a shocked expression.
"Why did you suddenly come up with such a bad idea, what do you want to do?" Luo Wei asked.
"My parents will come to Yanjing tomorrow, and by the way, a very annoying person will also come." Iggie said.
"So you want me to be a shield?"
"Yes."
"But it's easy to be discovered, and besides, you look like a big lady, and it's probably not an ordinary character, I don't think that I, a little person, can stand the revenge of the 'big man'." Luo Wei bit the word "big man" very hard, he didn't want to help this ridiculous favor, so he found a reason to shirk it.
"If you don't help, forget it." Izzy snorted coldly and sat away from Rowe.
……
The new International Trade Building, this is the second time that Luo Wei has entered here. And this time, beside him was the school flower of the Silver World Apostle Academy, Yiqi. At this moment, Iggie was holding his arm, with a smile on her face, pretending to be very close to him.
"It seems that you are really the eldest lady of a certain big family." Luo Wei looked around and saw that everything was the same as two years ago, and for a while, he was more eager to know about Luo Yan's safety and whereabouts. Regardless of whether his sister is still alive or not, he must find Luo Yan.
"If you want to chase me, just say it." Iggie snorted, looking in a good mood.
"Why am I chasing you, if you want to chase me, you are an unreasonable person, I don't know who is blind, deceived by your appearance, and still pesters you." Rowe begins a verbal duel with Iggy.
"It seems that you also admit that I am good-looking, and I am not blind." Iggie replied.
……
When entering the hotel's restaurant, a gray-haired man who often appears in the news appears in front of Luo Wei - he is the legal representative of the Heiluan Group. However, the expressions on the faces of the man and the richly dressed woman beside him did not look very happy, especially when they saw Luo Wei and Yiqi "Lady me and me". Sitting next to the couple, another young man also looked gloomy.
"Dad, Mom~" Even though she had already noticed the unhappy look on her parents' faces, Yiqi still looked like a coquettish little girl, she let go of Luo Wei and stepped forward to hug the two affectionately.
"You haven't introduced me yet, who is this handsome young man?" When Luo Wei got closer, the expressions of the couple seemed to become calm again, and their faces were the same as Pinghu. Sure enough, the characters who always come in and out of various high-class gatherings and talk and laugh on various big occasions always have a variety of faces. Although Luo Wei saw the real expressions of the couple from a distance, his task at this time was to show the appearance of a reliable boyfriend, and of course he couldn't leave at will because he felt uncomfortable.
"He's my boyfriend, Rowe." Iggie was very simple, but her demeanor was affectionate—of course for her own parents and the young man who had been invited.
"Iggie, long time no see, you're pretty again." Elegant youth, elegant smile.
"It's not been long, didn't I just see it a few months ago, Brother Long Juyin." Izzy didn't seem to be very polite to the young man, and she didn't smile at her.
"It's been a long time." Long Ju swallowed his voice warmly, and his smile did not decrease in the slightest.
