Chapter 6: Choices and Secrets

After Monica finished speaking, she handed Ye Yuxuan something like a contract or a contract. Ye Yuxuan glanced at it briefly, and most of the terms were nothing more than what Monica said before. And what he cares about the most is what kind of transformation is mentioned above..... He then asks Monica questions.

Monica also patiently explained: "This is the so-called genetic modification and microchipping, remember the girl who gave you a gun butt before?" ”

Ye Yuxuan immediately remembered the man who was dressed in a black windbreaker and held two sand eagles. Heroic.,A girl who doesn't have a good temper.。 "Who is she?"

"Her name is Yui Uesugi, and she is a student in charge of me. The best of the academy's freshmen were reformed and enrolled two months ago. If you agree to sign this agreement, you will have the same power. ”

Ye Yuxuan stared at the agreement, and he had a hunch. It was perhaps one of the most important decisions of his life, and it was also a gamble he couldn't afford to lose. Win, one step to the sky; If you lose, you will never recover.

Eventually, he signed what looked like a magical girl contract, which meant that he would say goodbye to his peaceful life.

Ye Yuxuan handed the signed agreement back to Monica: "Now you can say it, what kind of organization are you?" For which government? And what next? ”

"You're a little too much of a question." Monica put the agreement away, "Here, let's talk as we go." After speaking, he took Ye Yuxuan to the deeper level of the facility.

Monica pressed the down button of the lift: "These things are more complicated to explain, you listen carefully." ”

"First of all, we don't work for any government, and we are not controlled by any state, we are an independent organization. We are Longinus, the city of technology. We have the world's most cutting-edge technology, and we are also the testing ground for these dangerous technologies. At the same time, it also shoulders the most important mission in the world today: to maintain the existing order from being destroyed. ”

"Order? Not peace? Ye Yuxuan was a little surprised.

"Of course not." Monica sneered, "Maintaining world peace is just a child's dream and a politician's polite words, and no one takes it seriously." ”

"And what does this order mean?"

"Quite simply, it is to maintain the normal development of science and technology and human society." Monica looked over with interest, "Ever heard of wizards?" ”

Ye Yuxuan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that the jacket Yui seemed to have mentioned a similar concept, but he was talking about magicians. After a moment's thought, he asked, "They.... Does it really exist? It's those guys who rub fireballs out of thin air and release lightning with their bare hands..."

"That's right, it's them." Monica nodded.

"But these things sound a little unscientific....."

"Science? What is science? Science is nothing more than a method and means of understanding the world. The greater the scientists, the less likely they are to deny the possibility of supernatural forces, because that would be unrigorous. Monica said.

"Magic is just another way and means of understanding the world. The biggest problem, however, is that wizards are now under the rule of a religious theocracy. Their pope controls their minds, making most wizards fanatical and extreme. Accusing machinery and gunpowder of being vulgar and inferior technology is blasphemy against God. For thousands of years, the holy war against science has never stopped...."

"Wait." Ye Yuxuan interjected, "According to your logic, you and the wizard are in a feud relationship. And they have been the enemy of science for thousands of years. So why have I never heard of them making a big mess since I was a child? ”

"That's a good question, that's because decades ago, they were driven to another parallel dimension and have been dormant ever since. Occasionally come out to make some trouble, but it's nothing more than a small fight, and it is covered up with the power of the media. Like the beasts you encountered before. As long as it is disposed of in time, won't it cause much turmoil? ”

"Then why are they being driven to alternate space?" Ye Yuxuan asked.

"Do you know about the Tunguska explosion?" Monica threw out another shocking event. "The year was 1908, before the atomic bomb was invented. The scientific side launched a siege against the remaining wizards in Siberia. It coincides with the timing of the forbidden summoning of the most powerful of them all, the Great Sage. ”

"The Great Sage, who was forcibly interrupted by the summoning ceremony, was severely injured by the magic backlash. The scientific side pursued the victory, but he never thought that the great sage who was cornered would pay the price of being eaten to death, forcibly condensed three arcane star cores, and died with the army that was chasing after him. The horrific explosion burned all the evidence of that time, along with hundreds of thousands of hectares of wood. ”

Ye Yuxuan fell silent and began to gradually digest the information in these words.

Monica waited for a while, leaving Ye Yuxuan some time to think. He continued, "Since then, the wizards have taken refuge in the alternate dimension they have opened: the Arcane Capital, in the hope that one day they will be able to restore the glory of the Arcane. It was also during that period that the 'Divinity Sect' with extreme ideas was born. ”

"The doctrine of the Divinity Sect is hostile to all scientific achievements and advocates the abandonment of existing civilization and the return of people to the embrace of God and nature. The right people are then selected to inherit and carry forward the art of the arcane. In short, they intend to return humanity to the Dark Ages, where nothing remains. It's a bunch of out-and-out lunatics. Monica's tone was clearly tinged with disgust.

"As you've heard before, the Great Sage has the terrifying power to cause the Tunguska explosion. Although the other wizards are not as good as the Great Sages, they are still strong individuals. As long as these creatures, which are not controlled by any of the existing systems, are still alive, they are as dangerous as handing over the nuclear weapons launch code to a three-year-old child. It is a great threat to human society and can bring serious disasters at any time. ”

“...... So your maintenance of order is to fight the wizards? Ye Yuxuan could be regarded as hearing some clues.

"That's right! Dealing with the troubles caused by wizards was Longinus's first priority. The Longinus Academy, on the other hand, was founded to train talents to deal with the increasingly pressing threat of wizards. Although in recent years, wizards have only harassed and destroyed some summoned beasts through the space gate, wizards themselves generally do not show up at the risk of being surrounded and suppressed. But as wizard activities become more frequent, one thing is for sure, they will return one day. It's no longer a simple temptation like this. ”
