Chapter 4: The Grudge of the Black Age
Since the beginning of the 22nd century, new human populations have been called SLM carriers, which were initially caused by seedlife-infected humans, but instead of erosion, they were used or held hostage by the immune system.
This race used to be very rare, as few humans survived the Black Chronicle due to the Doomsday Virus (1).
The surviving human beings reproduced the first generation of SLM carriers, and due to the lack of scientific conditions at that time, many newborn SLM carriers died in infants.
The abilities shown by SLM carriers after growth are quickly revealed, not only in terms of physical strength, intelligence, and reflexes, but also in terms of lifespan, which is far beyond that of ordinary people.
In the past, people in the dark history believed that they were mutated heretics, and even believed that they were no longer human, despite the absence of reproductive isolation.
At that time, SLM carriers lived in dark corners, not only were they rejected for various jobs, but no one even chose them when it came to choosing a spouse.
In addition, they were once brutally assassinated, and various demonstrations appeared, and they gradually became a tool for people to use.
And to change all this, it is Fipulos and the Japan Hi-Tech Heavy Industry Zone that set an example, and then the East Asian People's Republic, and gradually, they have gained the power that some people deserve.
The date of AD 2112.3.19 is the day when SLM carriers are fully empowered as normal people, and are essentially indistinguishable from humans, and this day can also be said to be their liberation day.
Despite this, most people remain cold to them, even if they have excellent abilities, but they only treat them as a useful tool.
In a survey in 2120, there were only 1.5 million SLM carriers left in the world, and in the latest survey in 2150, the East Asian People's Republic and Fipulos combined had nearly 5 million, a terrifying number of people that had tripled in three decades.
The reason is that the population growth brought about by SLM carriers is slowly recognized and there is no longer any criticism of intermarriage with ordinary people.
However, a part of the group of SLM carriers believes that they are different from ordinary people, so those people, after giving human rights, began to oppose intermarriage with ordinary people, and there is also a small organization.
Although this organization is legitimate, the number of people recorded is nearly one million, which is quite high, and because of this, the contradiction between SLM carriers and ordinary people has never been completely eliminated.
In particular, BANG and NMA prohibit SLM carriers from engaging in politics, and conduct genetic tests when they conduct audits, for fear that SLM carriers will retaliate against them and ordinary people after they enter politics.
The country with a better attitude towards SLM carriers is Fipologs, followed by Japan's Hi-Tech Heavy Industry Zone, and East Asia's Beihua City, where CARN is located.
In these places, they can freely choose their profession and live a life that is no different from normal people, and they will not be labeled, let alone be discriminated against, which is why SLM carriers choose these places.
With more than one million members, the "New Humanity United Organization (NHOZ)" is relatively open and friendly, they just advocate not intermarrying ordinary people, but do not discriminate against ordinary people, and are willing to cooperate with ordinary people, so there are many company presidents or wealthy people who are willing to support their "peace organization", because this organization has a lot of talents, and they are very capable, and some companies prefer to have capable SLM carriers compared to ordinary people.
If there is a shadow organization that is very shady and hates ordinary people, then it is the "New Human Shadow Alliance (NHSA)", which is more appropriately called "Single Black Glove", because the executive commissioners in it are all wearing a black glove on one hand, so they are called so.
Although this organization did not appear in front of the world's eyes, all this began in a new era in the middle of the 22nd century, and the opposite of it is, of course, the "Human Future Self-Protection Organization (HFSCO)", these two extremes exist, and the nascent E Department is in the middle of it.
The grudge between ordinary people and SLM carriers also began in the middle of the twenty-second century, and it was the beginning of the twilight era to the night.

"Well, that's all you want to know." Xiao Liya handed over the electronic board to Su Zhan, looking unhappy, she actually didn't want to take this boring thing at all, so she had no choice but to ask for it.
"It seems that there has never been less fighting in the shadows." Su Zhan sighed, then sat back in his original position and began to look at the electronic board, "Then the SLM carrier who hijacked the E branch should be HFSCO, so there are so many carriers, why did they hijack the E family?" ”
"I have a guess that it may be that one of the extremist groups thinks that the E branch is moving closer to the other side and has become a powerful obstacle for them, so they are asking you for trouble." Xiao Liya said with a very sophisticated look, "In short, HFSCO and NHSA, two extremely troublesome things living on the dark side, must be dealt with sooner or later by your new E department, so let's just do it together." ”
"We want to, too, but there is no relevant information, not even a single person in the organization does not know, not even any branch does not know where it is, let alone where it lurks, maybe it is around, but it is impossible to tell the difference, so Section E has also conducted a large-scale identity check." Su Zhan sighed and opened his chair and said helplessly, "Last week, two new Skyscanner Gs were blown up at the branch base of our Hi-Tech Heavy Industry Zone in Japan, although I could guess that they did it, but I couldn't find anyone." ”
Xiao Liya actually understands the miserable and terrible situation of the new E department, and it is very helpless that even she can't provide any effective help and methods.
She thought about it, opened the communication and asked her superiors, and after getting permission, she made the new content of the electronic display public.
"What's different about this person?"
"A black glove on his left hand".
"The details are good, but what else?"
"Why does this person's face look familiar? I think I've seen ...... in that picture."
Xiao Liya nodded, then turned off the monitor, looked at Su Zhan, who was confused and eager to recall, and then slowly spoke: "Don't think about it, this person is Kecheng when he was young." ”
"How can this be ......?!" Su Zhan's preconceived notions led to speaking directly, but before he finished speaking, he remembered the photo he had seen in Kecheng's home, the photo of Kecheng's youth.
"It's incredible, it's too similar, it's exactly the same, just change the background, he appeared in the Japanese Hi-Tech Heavy Industry Zone, it's unlikely."
"Of course, because Kecheng has been confirmed to be dead, and he is still young in this picture, could it be that he will still travel through time and space?" Xiao Liya asked rhetorically, in fact, she also had a little bit of a clue in her heart, "This is actually a video of more than ten seconds, we are sure that this is a real shot, as for whether it is a real science city, it is difficult for us to judge, there is no DNA of the people in this picture." ”
Su Zhan calmed down, compared the photos repeatedly, and said, "Isn't the left side of Kecheng senior?" ”
"His eyes weren't hurt when he was young, and based on what he looks in the photo, he's probably only in his early 20s at this time, just as young and vigorous as you."
"Wearing a black glove on his left hand, he still looks exactly the same as his predecessors when he was young, even if he is a fanatical admirer of Kecheng, but this is not something that can be achieved by plastic surgery, and he is still a member of the NHSA organization, and he appears in the Japan Hi-Tech Heavy Industry Zone......"
"Minister Xiao, when was this photo taken?"
"Last Thursday, after that, our members bought it on the black market in Japan, and it cost two million."
As if Su Zhan realized something, he immediately stood up, and his pupils were several times larger than normal.
Last Thursday, it was also the time when he learned from Instructor Thatcher that the E26 executive commissioner, Xia Luohan, had disappeared in Japan's Hi-Tech Heavy Industry Zone.
"Should that person be?!"
His mind is in a mess now, too much information can't be processed, and the SLM carrier is not a computer after all.
There were so many mysteries that he didn't know which thing to prioritize now, but now that he knew all this from Xiao Liya, he decided to rush to Japan's Hi-Tech Heavy Industry Zone.
Xiao Liya stopped the impatient Su Zhan at the door, she could see that the boy was quite serious, originally she was not interested in taking care of this matter, but now it seems that she feels the need to help.
"Until then, I'd suggest you go to CARN and then find someone named Neil Lowe (1), who is a former employer and good friend of Kecheng."
"Note (1): The previous episode only appeared in the first part (AD2142-2143) of the main story, ostensibly as a high-ranking government official of the East Asian People's Republic, but in fact a senior executive of the CARN Corporation, who was both an employer and a good friend of the City of Science and Technology, and a special executive commissioner of the Guardian Alliance (formerly the branch of the old E Branch)."
"Thank you, Minister Xiao."
"No thanks."
She watched the person in front of her leave, and she didn't know why she recalled such a scene by herself, but there were quite a few times, and the back in her memory was the same.
The person in his memory gradually turned around, his face was a little blurred, Xiao Liya was eager to know, but when he returned to reality, he saw that it was just Su Zhan's enthusiastic smile when he turned around.
"Iorio (2)?"
"No, it's not him, it must not be, it can't be."
Xiao Liya thought silently in her heart.
"Note (2): The new character in the third main biography, the person who appears in the memory of the Minister of the East * Newspaper Xiao Liya, is temporarily informed, and her relationship is unknown, and its importance is extraordinary for Xiao Liya, and her identity will appear in the black history memories between different characters in the subsequent chapters."
