Chapter 408: A Runaway World
Jiang Qian knew that the questions he raised in the current scenario were essentially "intelligence exchanges".
This sudden opportunity to get closer to the truth made him more excited than ever, and he expected that the head of the predator family would probably not be willing to speak out and defile his feathers.
However, the other party's protracted silence made Jiang Qian calm down again.
Then he heard an answer:
"I'm sorry about your brother."
Accompanied by the deep groan of the White Tiger Venerable, Jiang Qian frowned slightly: This is simply not an answer!
"So, is he dead?"
“……”
Jiang Qian did not give up this opportunity, and continued to ask: "Is Jiang Yang a licensee?" ”
Still no answer.
There was constant silence on the other side of the phone.
However, Jiang Qian has already got his answer: his eldest brother Jiang Yang, who has been missing for many years, is not only alive, but also most likely also a licensee!
Time passed without a trace.
Jiang Qian clenched the phone and continued: "What about my father's death? ”
This time, the White Tiger Supreme no longer continued to remain silent, but gave a direct answer: "Your father, fell to the Divine War. ”
"God War...... It's a god war again......"
Jiang Qian's tone was slightly sneering.
This answer was not the first time he had heard it, and in the Divine Mountain Illusion, the Holy Mother of the White Snake had also given him a similar answer.
According to the memories of the White Snake Lady, his father stayed in the country for a short time after deciding to participate in the Divine War and leave Mount Kinabalu with the dragon god. This time coincides with the flash flood accident in Jiang Qian's memory.
However, Our Lady of the White Snake still firmly believes that his father fell into the Divine War, one of the reasons is: "At that time, no force in the country dared to be the opponent of those two people, let alone take their lives quietly." ”
Indeed, the identity and strength of the two people, the head of the Ash Organization, Long Shen Yun Zhongshuo, and the former commander of the official special forces, Ta Xue Chengmei, are enough to discourage the vast majority of those who deliberately murder them.
Another important reason is that the White Snake Holy Mother got information from the official inside, confirming the fact that Treading Snow Chengmei fell in the Divine War.
Now, the White Tiger Venerable has personally admitted this.
"But it's very different from what I remember."
After a brief silence, Jiang Qian began to state some of the memories he had retrieved in the "Whispering of the Demons" dungeon about his father's death:
"When I was 8 years old, the year of the so-called Divine War, my father took my family on a trip south. During that trip, my father and I were rescued in a flash flood and my father has since lost his life...... Since then, my life has changed dramatically. ”
Jiang Qian recounted the situation in a calm tone, but it still sounded like a child who had lost a loved one expressing his sentimentality about the impermanence of the world. Even if most of what he says is officially verified.
"What do you want to know?" White Tiger Supreme in one sentence.
Among the facts verified by the official, his psychiatric diagnosis report is also included: Jiang Qian is not an ordinary son who has lost his father, and his existing emotions no longer include the classification of "sadness".
So what he needs is never relief, but something more practical.
"God War!"
Jiang Qian said without hesitation:
"Although this is not the first time I have heard the rumors of the Divine War, I still want to hear the most authoritative interpretation from you - I want to know what happened before and after the Divine War, and whether the changes in me back then had anything to do with the Divine War."
"Hmmm......"
On the other side of the phone, there was a deep groan.
The White Tiger Venerable seemed to be contemplating.
A strong feeling rose in Jiang Qian's heart that what he would hear was not only related to the success or failure of today's negotiations, but also to his decision on where to go in the future!
After a while, the calm voice began to speak:
"I remember that within the government, the attitude towards the discussion of 'divine warfare' was expressly forbidden. Of course, in addition to avoiding the reason for biasing the public perspective, there is another important reason: the term 'divine war' is not necessarily rigorous. ”
Jiang Qian's eyes moved slightly: The statement of "Divine War" is not necessarily rigorous?
It was an angle he had never thought about before, so he was more focused.
Venerable White Tiger continued:
"Now that you've heard of the 'Divine War', you should have a basic understanding that it is a large-scale battle that is mainly participated in and led by cleric licensees."
"Not bad."
Jiang Qian had no objection to this, when he first listened to Lu Fanni talk about the Divine War, he formed such a basic impression.
"Well, I think so. Since it is called 'God War', it means a battle first and foremost, and since it represents a battle, it should be indisputable that it naturally involves both sides. But here's the question: Who are the two sides of the war? ”
The problem was suddenly thrown back to Jiang Qian, which caught Jiang Qian off guard.
According to his knowledge, it is certain that the fighting party is a guard legion led by the six-state cleric licensee. So, what about the other side?
Shouldn't you know this kind of key information better than me...... Jiang Qian's mouth remained silent, but his mind couldn't help but fly:
When he first heard the description of the "divine war" from Sister Lu, it was obvious that the "other side" of the war was inclined to some kind of supernatural phenomenon: a huge mysterious vortex formed in the sea, and something indescribable gushed out of the vortex, which spread to the land with the ocean current, causing a large number of ordinary people to die in the process...... Before things could become irreversible, the high-ranking super-species legions, called for by the official order, intercepted the catastrophe.
However, now, the White Tiger Venerable, who is the official high-level official and the head of the Predator Clan, is hinting to him, even the official high-level has not figured out the essence and cause of the "disaster" back then?
These thoughts only lingered in the mind for a moment.
Jiang Qian thought of a possibility, a possibility that even the White Tiger Venerable would not be able to know all the information about the Divine War.
"That's the problem."
The White Tiger Venerable sighed:
"On the eve of the Divine War, all the licensees of the Order who were sent to investigate maritime accidents died at sea without exception. We don't know anything about the disaster, but it's approaching our land all the time! Once that unknown catastrophe is allowed to land, the consequences are unimaginable. ”
In desperation, all the order-keeping families united, and even called on a large number of capable people from non-order-abiding organizations to form an unprecedented legion, led by the top masters of the major families, to intercept the ...... We all know the rest of the story, the disaster stops, the gods fall, and everything returns to peace. ”
"However, for a long time after the end of that divine war, we can't determine what the mysterious and unknown 'other side' that threatens everyone in the first place is."
Venerable White Tiger finished speaking. But apparently, it's not complete.
"It's ridiculous." Jiang Qian commented unceremoniously, "Even a survivor who has experienced the divine war can't describe the enemy's situation?" ”
"Unfortunately, there are no survivors in the Divine War!"
The White Tiger Venerable broke the mystery one sentence:
"Only those who have actually entered the battlefield will know what really happened at that time and what the enemy was. Unfortunately, none of those who entered the battlefield survived, and all those who survived the war were essentially because they had never set foot on the battlefield. ”
?!
The "survivors" in the divine war have not actually stepped into the battlefield...... Jiang Qian immediately thought of a person: Bacchus!
Before being taken away by the old woman of the python, he had gone with Lu Fanni to see the god of wine, and heard the other party mention the story of "the dragon god boiling the sea...... Bacchus was one of the "survivors" of the Divine War that year, and if what the White Tiger Venerable said was true, then in fact, Dionysian had not really participated in the Divine War?
"No one survived that divine war, and all those who really joined the divine war lost contact."
Venerable White Tiger emphasized once again and answered the question in Jiang Qian's heart from another angle:
"But...... Those who were not in battle did bring back some valuable information. At the very least, it provides a basis for us to explore the causes of the 'disaster'. ”
The White Tiger Venerable groaned and continued:
"I won't go into the details of the process in between. The cause of the disaster at that time, after a joint investigation and study of the official order of many countries, concluded that the source of the abnormal disaster at sea was the imbalance of the world's energy system. ”
...... of the world's energy system Unbalance?
Jiang Qian's gaze condensed.
Although he couldn't meet the White Tiger Venerable himself, there was no doubt that what he had heard now was top-secret information.
So he held his breath to avoid missing any of the keys.
"Yes, it may sound too abstract, but the conclusion is not a speculation of a momentary brain fever, it is precisely an inference drawn from a lot of solid research and statistics."
In the following statement, Jiang Qian heard several key messages one after another:
First, on the eve of the abnormal maritime disaster that year, "unconventional" events were occurring at high frequency around the world, with the most dense surrounding the countries near the disaster site.
Second, when a large number of high-level super-species players fell for the gods, the "unconventional" events in various countries and regions decreased sharply, and the world returned to its former "calm";
Third, the investigation departments of other countries believe that the advent of the power of superspecies is essentially the "destruction" of the balance of the current world energy system, and the existence of superspecies is the source of the birth of disasters!
After hearing these three key pieces of information, Jiang Qian realized how conservative the conclusion was when he first heard it.
The argument that "unconventional" forces upset the balance and lead to catastrophe is unique, but it would be somewhat biased to classify super-species players as "unconventional......
What's worse is that this "biased argument" sounds quite reasonable!
But this third piece of theoretical information has actually had an impact on the orderly camp of only a few countries.
This is like industrial pollution to the ecological environment, although everyone knows that this is not good, but who wants to take the lead in restricting their own development, trying to do a small part for the harmony of the global ecological environment?
The results can be imagined.
After experiencing the post-war of the gods, the world did not make any substantial changes.
As long as the fire doesn't reach the doorstep, no one wants to be the first to make substantial changes.
"It is only in the last two years that the 'unconventional incidents' that have accelerated around the world have once again entered the official radar of various countries, which is very similar to the symptoms that preceded the extraordinary maritime catastrophe 12 years ago."
"Out-of-control, out-of-touch copies, unconventional forces that are unusually surging, and mutation accidents that are more frequent than ever before......"
When the White Tiger Venerable said this, he stopped at the right time.
This incident is not limited to Jiang Qian's questions about his father's death and even his own changes, it opens up a global vision, and takes Jiang Qian to look at the divine war from a broader perspective.
And in the words of the White Tiger Venerable, there seems to be a subtle hint hidden in him-
"Extraordinary disasters, and they will happen."
Jiang Qian said the other party's subtext! He received the hint, but wasn't sure how to respond.
"Yes, it will happen! And once it happens, I am afraid it will be even worse than the last crisis. ”
The White Tiger Venerable spoke in a solemn tone and sighed deeply!
At this point, this "negotiation" has gotten out of control, just like the world out of control in the White Tiger Venerable's dictation......
"Unconventional forces lead to an imbalance in the world power system, and an imbalance induces extraordinary disasters...... Will the official Ten Clans act on such an unfalsifiable inference? Jiang Qian said.
"Even if it is an inference, after all, it has been agreed by many parties. It is important to note that once the inference is established, it will have consequences that no one can afford to bear. ”
As for this, the White Tiger Venerable asked Jiang Qian with a smile:
"Would you take the risk if it were up to you?"
“……”
At that moment, what flashed in Jiang Qian's mind was not how the world would collapse and destroy in an imbalance, but just a few familiar faces.
With the appearance of these faces, he has already come up with his own answer. even came up with the answer that my father was involved in the battle of no return.
People think about the risks and benefits of their actions.
But in this case, as a man of the Jiang family, he just wants to make sure that the person he cares about is safe and sound. If anyone dares to hinder him from achieving this simple goal, then he will have to crush it at all costs.
It's not that most people don't understand this account, it's just that when the sky falls, it's not their turn to top.
It's not in its place.
The constant silence made the huge suite even more empty and lonely.
Perhaps in order to avoid an impasse in the conversation between the two, the White Tiger Venerable ended this slightly heavy topic with Jiang Qian's initial question:
"That's all you want to know about the 'Divine Wars' back then. There is no doubt that your father was involved in the process of the divine war. As for the memory of your father's death in the flood that you mentioned, I think it may just be an understandable way to say goodbye. ”
"At the beginning, all the aspirants who participated in the Divine War were very aware of the seriousness of the situation, and they made mortal preparations for it. Of course, this is just my experience, and if you care, you might as well take a closer look at the instructions your father left before leaving, and there may be an answer. ”
Farewell way, entrust......
Jiang Qian gradually retracted his reverie.
Venerable White Tiger's reminder made him quickly recall his father's instructions before he was "killed":
"Ah Qian...... Don't look back! Protect your mother's ......"
……
That's all.
Between their father and son, the only thing left for him to recall was nothing more.
Jiang Qian's mother Wen Han's face appeared in front of him.
I can't remember how long I haven't seen my last remaining relative, except that he has lived abroad, squandering her life for her vain status as an artist.
Maybe it's time for me to take the opportunity to do my duty...... Jiang Qian sighed in his heart, and said solemnly to the White Tiger Venerable on the other end of the phone:
"Thank you for telling me this."
I quickly gathered my mind and cut into the theme of today's negotiations:
"Let's get back to the point, in the process of fighting with the Kinabalu Organization this time, I learned something related to the 'unconventional' incident you just mentioned."
Since the other party has given enough sincerity, Jiang Qian doesn't mind reciprocating the favor.
He concisely informed the White Tiger Venerable of the fact that the spies of the Black Chrysanthemum Society were involved in the Shenshan incident, as well as the unconventional "power of the ancestral gods" that the core of the rebellion referred to.
At the same time, the ins and outs of the Shenshan organization, and the role played by his father Jiang Xuesong in it, were truthfully explained.
Of course, even if he doesn't say this, the task force will come to a conclusion after trying the centipede, so there is no question of over-explanation. Moreover, his father's relationship with Shenshan was a stepping stone for him to get this opportunity to negotiate.
The only thing Jiang Qian has reservations about is the details of the White Snake Lady's entrustment to the Shenshan Organization, and the resources and organizational secrets involved, Jiang Qian has never thought of handing them over in vain.
Due to the hasty handover, he still had time to count all the "family resources" of the White Snake Lady.
The White Snake Holy Mother has been entrenched in the paradise for many years, and must have accumulated valuable treasures, and at the beginning, Zhang Nose with an ant nest prop could make the Jinping branch Xingshi mobilize the people to engage in such a big battle, if he knew that he was now carrying the full net worth of the Holy Mother, I don't know how the White Tiger Venerable on the other side of the phone would feel......
All in all, Jiang Qian's speech is logical and well-organized; In particular, when it comes to sensitive issues within the government, it is even more cautious in its wording.
After saying that, he stopped just right and waited patiently for the questioning.
Today's negotiation is Jiang Qian's preparedness, and all the contents have already been carefully considered in advance, which is expected to be enough to justify himself.
But the White Tiger Venerable's reaction still made him stunned on the spot:
"I already knew what you said."
!
Jiang Qian wanted to speak and stopped.
His first reaction was surprise, and his second reaction was confusion-
What does the White Tiger Venerable know and how much does he know? Is it the ins and outs of the establishment of the Kinabalu organization, or is it the spy conspiracy of the Black Chrysanthemum Society? Why would he know?
These questions are only in Jiang Qian's chest.
He remained silent until the other party himself told the reason:
"Well, because the person who authorized Cedar to do these things is me."
