Volume 1 Chapter 4 Enter Group VII
Jinluo is the capital of the Kingdom of God.
The three largest institutions in the country are located in a triangular shape in the city.
They are the palace symbolizing imperial power, the temple symbolizing divine power, and the parliament symbolizing the rule of law.
Among them, the imperial power is the symbol, and the power is the least.
The temple has the most power, but it is completely handed over, and it does not pay attention to any mundane matters.
On the surface, the most powerful is the parliament, which is in charge of everything in the country, and almost all official institutions are under the jurisdiction of the parliament.
Parliamentary appointments are required to include the Enforcement Directorate, as well as the police officers in the Bureau.
But the inspection team, which is clearly the boss of the Law Enforcement Bureau, does not belong to the council, but to the temple.
With the three institutions of the Emperor, the Gods, and the Dharma as the center, seven rays radiate outward. Divide the city into seven sectors, numbered one to seven.
Seven inspection teams are in charge of seven areas.
The "Wanyue Calligraphy and Painting" of the Yanagi shop is located in the seventh group of districts, which happens to be the closest area to the temple.
Cars drive into the high-rise buildings, there are a lot more vehicles on the left and right, and the tram tracks are crisscrossed and the wires are staggered.
In front of a small two-story building, Huiheng stopped the car.
Next to the door was a silver-white door plate with a few words written vertically:
The seventh group of the Jinluo City Inspector of the Servant God Empire
The entrance is a lobby with a goose-yellow flag hanging on the wall in front of it, with ten cross stars, a crown, and an open book.
Under the flag, there is a TV with a size of more than ten inches at one end, and a slender figure is lying on the table watching TV.
There was a lot of argument in the next room.
Seeing the three of them come in, the slender woman covered her mouth and smiled: "The team leader said that you will definitely come back before sunset." β
Su Gu glanced at her, puffed out his cheeks and exhaled: "You are all hiding from me, and you are all working together to deliberately anger me!" β
The slender woman was even more happy: "Then you have to control your emotions well, you can control them." Naturally, people won't 'deliberately' be angry with you. β
"Sister Yuefei, what's going on inside?" Hui Heng asked, pointing to the door where the quarrel was heard.
Yue Fei waved her hand: "That's not it, the sixth group is here again." β
Speaking of this, he lowered his voice and said, "I almost swear when I am cold and relaxed." β
"Really? Will he be angry too? β
While the two were talking, Liu Xiao was attracted by the picture on the TV on the side.
A black-and-white screen is showing a news program about an organization flying around the world.
There is a furious area in the largest ocean area on the planet, which has led to the failure of many round-the-world voyages in recent decades.
This time, I chose to fly an airplane around the world, and the route was carefully considered, so I could observe the situation in the violent sea from a high altitude.
But there was an accident on the flight, the plane crashed, and many days have passed since then.
The news concludes by saying that experts believe that the furious zone may be larger and more dangerous than thought.
"It's called TV."
Liu Xiao turned her head and found that it was Su Gu who was explaining to herself what this appliance was called.
It seemed that her mood had stabilized.
Liu Xiao didn't explain, just nodded.
"Follow me."
Skirting the walls hung with national flags and walking through the open-air courtyard, Liu Xiao was arranged to wait in a conference room in the inner building.
After a while, Su Gu returned, holding a notebook and other materials in his hand, as well as a tape recorder for tapes.
She spread out her notebook and glanced at the contents, "I've been waiting for a long time, and the seventh group is sparse, so I'm still in charge." And the content is confidential, and it must be approved before it can be told to you. β
Liu Xiao listened quietly.
Su Gu turned on the tape recorder on the side, and after seeing that it was working normally, he continued: "The content of our later conversation needs to be recorded, do you agree?" β
Looking at the turned old-fashioned tape recorder, Liu Xiao nodded: "I agree." β
Su Gu Zhanyan nodded, and then immediately put away his smile and said solemnly: "The content of our conversation below needs to be kept secret by you, and you must not tell anyone, if you agree, please sign here."
"If not, I'll terminate the conversation immediately."
Liu Xiao took the pen and paper and glanced at it, it was a confidentiality agreement, so she signed it without hesitation.
Only by agreeing can you learn more about the truth, why you crossed over, and how to go back.
Although when the "Wanyue Calligraphy and Painting" was controlled, Su Gu did not directly ask the question of "Are you really amnesiac".
But it was obvious that the questioning mixed with small talk had made her master of Liu Xiao's state.
So at this moment, the conversation between the two did not make Liu Xiao wait too long, and quickly got to the point.
Su Gu said: "Everyone knows that under the instructions of the Creation God, the Ten Holy Sons helped mankind progress and development and repelled the beasts, but they didn't know that in addition to the Ten Saints, the Creation God also left countless things beyond mortal comprehension, which we call 'divinity'. β
"Divinity." Liu Xiao repeated softly.
"Mortals who acquire divinity can acquire abilities beyond ordinary people, which we call 'supernatural abilities', and all events involving the supernatural are called 'transcendent events'.
"Our inspection team is the department that specializes in dealing with extraordinary events, and everyone you see here is extraordinary."
"Including you?" Liu Xiao asked.
"You seem to look down on me a little?"
"No, no." Liu Xiao shook her head again and again.
Su Gu glared at him: "Not all extraordinary abilities belong to the combat type. β
I see.
"The number of transcendental beings in this world is far more than you think, some extraordinary people have gathered together for various reasons to form an organization, and some are scattered among the people."
Liu Xiao was already a little mentally prepared, and she was quickly digesting these contents at the moment.
"The reason we're paying special attention to your amnesia is because something extraordinary happened to you two years ago."
Liu Xiao's eyes widened.
Finally, there is an event in which the original owner participates?
He asked Xiao Jin and Aunt Qin before, but he said that he didn't remember what the original owner had done, and the only useful thing was that Aunt Qin said that Liu Xiao graduated from Jinluo Academy of Fine Arts.
"Two years ago, in 4604, when you were about to graduate, a man in white and a demon beast appeared in the Jinluo Academy of Fine Arts.
"The impact of this incident was extremely great, in addition to the dispatch of all seven inspection teams, reinforcements were also sent from above, and the situation was brought under control and all the personnel involved were amnesticized.
"And you, I performed the amnestic, I'm sorry."
Liu Xiao shook her head with a smile and said:
"You've apologized, I don't blame you, and it's your job. If you knew that someone would lose their memory because of this, I think the above will continue to ask you to do so for the sake of social stability. β
Su Gu had never thought of it like this, and said in surprise: "Your consciousness is very high! β
Liu Xiao shook her head: "I just want to know what happened at that time." β
"I'm sorry." Su Gu refused, "All transcendent events are kept in the form of archives within the group, and no one outside the group is allowed to view them, and I can't spread them outside, otherwise I will be punished."
"But as long as you join our group, you'll be eligible to check it out."
"Can I really join?"
Liu Xiao was able to guess that Su Gu's ability might be related to control, and Huiheng should be related to prophecy.
Huiheng once said that he was able to join, but he thought it would take a while, or that there should be a lot of processes to go through, and there should be not much trouble.
Su Gu said:
"The team leader decided that he couldn't amnestize you again this time, and after much consideration, he decided to recruit you into the seventh group to gain divinity.
"However, after acquiring divinity, you become a member of the temple and are subject to the restrictions of the temple, and your life will inevitably change a lot.
"There may be a lot of people who don't understand, there may be some special people who don't make it to the extraordinary, who treat you as a monster, who may come into contact with danger, or even give their lives.
"So it's just a solicitation, it's up to you whether you agree or not.
"Whether you agree or not, we won't erase your memory anymore, and all the chats just now just need you to keep them private."
"I agree."
Liu Xiao didn't mean to hesitate.
Crossing this matter is very "extraordinary" in itself, and embarking on this path must be the first step to finding a way back, so he has no reason to refuse.
"You can take a moment to think about it, and you don't have to say yes so quickly."
Su Gu didn't expect him to agree so quickly, so he reminded.
After getting a firm answer, Su Gu showed a respectful look: "Everyone who is willing to give should be respected. From now on, we will be colleagues. β
"It's my pleasure."
"Wait a minute, I need to ask the team leader, just a moment."
"Okay, please."
Liu Xiao knew that he had agreed too quickly, but he didn't know if there would be any problems with this, so he could only wait and see.
Soon Su Gu returned and flipped the notebook to a certain page in front.
"Tomorrow is Tanabata, and there are many people in the temple who are not suitable to go, so the team leader has decided to put the time for you to obtain divinity tonight.
Tonight, in order to prepare for tomorrow's event, the temple will be cleared earlier than usual, and there will be no ordinary people at that time.
"I wonder if you have a problem?"
Liu Xiao couldn't ask for it, so she called herself free.
"Xiaohui said that you will definitely go out before sunset, are you really okay?"
Listening to Liu Xiao explain his current predicament, Su Gu carefully wrote it down: "I will report it, I think the team leader will find a way to solve it."
"For example, I will help you apply for a month's salary advance."
As far as I was concerned, I said, "That's a big help." β
"Before you get the divinity, there is some information you need to know, and the following points, it is best not to have something that you do not understand, which will help you better grasp the divinity."
Liu Xiao nodded seriously.
"First, there is only a distinction between quantities and not between qualities in divinity."
Liu Xiao repeated it in a low voice, thought for a moment and said his understanding: "According to the name, divinity comes from the only god in the world, so there is no difference in the divinity that everyone obtains, but according to the different physique of individuals, the amount obtained is not necessarily. β
Su Gu smiled and clapped his hands:
"That's right, it's just that the individual physique is different, so the extraordinary abilities that awaken in the end are also different, and the specific ones can't be predicted in advance.
"Including Xiaohui, because it involves the most essential change of divinity, and he can't see it."
This can be regarded as confirming that Huiheng does indeed have the ability to be similar to prophecy.
Su Gu continued:
Second, there is divinity in all things. This is easy to understand, because everything in the world was created by the gods. This also leads to the fact that it is not only human beings who can acquire divinity, but all things can acquire divinity. β
"Everything?"
Liu Xiao grasped the point.
"Yes, because the divinity is gathered on an object that causes it to exhibit special properties, such an object is a 'transcendent object'.
"This includes, but is not limited to, objects, animals and plants, and those who are unable to communicate without consciousness...... Mankind.
"If you come across something extraordinary in the future, remember to turn it in."
Liu Xiao remembered the collection of stories she had read in her previous life, so she said:
"Containment, Containment, Protection."
Su Gu opened his eyes wide, surprised and delighted: "The summary is very incisive!"
"Finally, it takes a certain amount of time to awaken to supernatural abilities after acquiring divinity, and the better way to do this is to go home and sleep.
"Falling asleep minimizes external influences, and you don't have to worry, the process is safeβas long as your journey to divinity goes smoothly."
Then the two chatted for a while, Liu Xiao asked questions about the doubts and puzzles in her heart, to make sure that there were no doubts, and Su Gu also reminded her again and again of some important points.
Finally, Su Gu made a closing statement, then packed up his notebook and turned off the tape recorder.
The door to the conference room was pushed open, and a gray figure entered.
"Obtaining divinity can only be the responsibility of the team leader, and this is our seventh group Jiao team leader."
With Su Gu's introduction, Liu Xiao turned her head to look over and bent down to salute.
"Leader Jiao."
Jiao Ning is a cold old man, forty or fifty in appearance, his eyes are narrow and cold, and he is dressed in a gray robe.
Without saying a word, he walked up to Liu Xiao and raised his strong and powerful hand, and handed over a note between his fingers.
After Liu Xiao took it, he spoke: "Carry it and follow me." β
Liu Xiao hurriedly got up, nodded goodbye to Su Gu and followed.
On the way, he looked down at the note, which was full of words:
"Great and merciful gods,
"The all-knowing and all-powerful God of Creation,
"Sons of the Ten,
"Your faithful devotee Liu Xiao prays here,
"I hope that you will send down your kindness and lead me to the path of God......"
That's it, and then there's an introduction:
This prayer must not be modified in any way, must be recited skillfully, and must be followed by a self-monologue, which simply states that you have attained the true heart of divinity, and there must be no falsehood or deception.
This should be the way to obtain divinity, but I didn't expect it to pray to God, Liu Xiao thought there was some extraordinary way.
Perhaps this is the reason why most of the people of this world believe in Godβto receive answers to prayers.
At dusk, the sun had sunk below the horizon, and only the horizon was white.
Although there are a lot of cars on the road, it is not congested, and it takes more than half an hour to drive all the way to the destination.
A wide square surrounded by tall buildings.
A magnificent building in the middle of the square, completely different from the rest of the city.
I saw ten curved giant pillars of general length and thickness like hands, holding out a black hall with a metallic luster.
Directly in front of it are ten large wooden boxes, each like a staple, crisscrossing each other to create a dimly lit corridor.
Behind the corridor is the open door of the temple.
The door was wide open, and the hall was brightly lit.
Under the setting sun, there was silence, and the divine breath came to the face.
