Chapter 28: The Inheritance of the World (5) (6000 words) (Revised)
Let's talk about the present.
There was a strange old man who was rubbing his hands and walked forward quickly.
The former maiden was ravaged by it without resistance.
The old hand rubbed the white hair indiscriminately, making it a mess.
In this situation, in this scene, in this place and in this night, the murderous intent of the real people gradually rose.
Of course, this is all a rumor-mongering perspective.
"Grandpa Xue, why are you here?"
Elsa replied crisply, feeling the old man's unfeigned care, and she smiled slightly.
Xue Xie replied with a smile:
"Isn't this a passing errand, let's take a look at the situation of the two of you, don't you welcome the bad old man?"
As he spoke, he motioned for Elsa to stand up, straightened up, and after a while, said with great certainty:
"According to the old man's God-given words, you have grown taller!"
Elsa smiled, her eyes looking at the woman she didn't know very well, but she barely knew.
"Good evening, Team Leader."
Her memory of Zang Cry stayed in Huacheng, so she called it so.
Zang waved his hand, and his voice was a little hoarse:
"It's been a long time since I'm not from the Comprehensive Affairs Bureau, and my identity has not been determined."
The identity she said is naturally not citizen information, but the specific position she is in now.
Zang Cry now, strictly speaking, he doesn't have a position on his body.
As far as she knows, the files in the internal system have been eliminated, and all relevant resumes have been integrated into a confidential file, leaving at most one in the file bureau, and the rest is missing.
Of course, it's not that she is going to do something undercover, or that she is being hidden in the snow, as a perennial follower of Bai Xiuyuan, she naturally knows the doorway.
Within Huayu, especially the members of the non-Six Imperial Mansion headquarters, there is only one channel that normally wants to be promoted, which is to be promoted through real results, so as to be transferred to the headquarters, such as Tongyan and Quan Hu, which is like this.
At the same time, there are some who stay through secondments, but very few.
And among them, there is a very special situation -
They will be erased from all traces, some for a few months, maybe a few years, or even decades, doing some high-secrecy things, and when they are successful, they will be promoted to the headquarters of the Six Imperial Mansions in an abrupt way, and hold important positions, this kind of situation is not too much, but not too much.
Zang Cry knows that he belongs to the latter group, this kind of situation has advantages and disadvantages, the disadvantage is that the risk factor is unusually high, many people involved in these tasks, in the end, it is difficult to reach the day of success, as for the advantages are not nothing, although they do not have a specific position, but from the beginning of acceptance, they have already enjoyed the relevant treatment of the core members of the Six Imperial Mansions, as well as the authority beyond the norm.
And when she saw Elsa and the little paper figure with her shoulders drooping, she knew that this kid from Zuo Dao was probably similar to herself, but she didn't know what she was doing.
Just when Xue Xie was pulling Elsa's hair like a strange old man, she also grabbed the little paper figure and shook it, but the little paper man still didn't have any reaction, as if it was just an ordinary paper figure who didn't know which childlike heart was made.
This scene naturally fell into Xue Xie's eyes.
He looked at the closed door behind Elsa, his eyes kept switching between Tong Kong like a horror movie, and Xue Xie actually brought out a strange smile at this time:
"It's really funny."
His words made Elsa look up, but Zang didn't react, and Xue Xie didn't have the idea of explaining.
No one knows what kind of content Xue Xie sees through a certain ability.
"Elsa, is that kid on the left any movement today?"
Elsa shook her head, she glanced at Zang, who was frantically shaking the paper man, and said:
"Mr. Zuo Dao has been like this since this morning, usually he will chat with me through the paper figure, and also ask me to take a little supply items, or some special things, and drop them in through the passage."
Xue Xie bowed his head and didn't say much.
Just as he was about to leave first after a few more smacks of Elsa, there was a soft cry from Zang's side, and he and Elsa turned their eyes.
I saw that the paper man who was being thrown away suddenly stood up, and let go of his hand, and the little paper man floated in the air by himself and looked around, and finally spoke in a voice on the left side:
"Nanshi is here?
"I'm sorry, something interesting happened over there, I didn't distract myself for a while, and I was just about to reply to your message."
Zuo Dao said, the little paper man has a kind of paper hand interaction, in order to hold a fist. ”
Seeing this, Zang took out a cigarette: "I'll go out and smoke a cigarette." ”
Xue Xie smiled and greeted the paper figure of Zuo Dao, and then looked at Zang:
"Then you wait for me, and then we will rest and continue tomorrow."
The corners of Zang's mouth moved, and he shook his hand and left, and everything did not need words.
As the team leader walked into the distance, the three of them, codenamed Operation Wilderness, began to communicate.
However, they do not communicate verbally, but in the space of consciousness.
The huge stream of consciousness, with its meticulous details, was transported towards the two of them like a flood.
"That's it, that's it."
"All in all, old man, we have made a small addition to your needs."
Nan Ming Shi gestured, with a smile on his face.
The demand that Xue Xie said is naturally the demand of the left road.
And all this has to start with the wilderness operation, and even earlier, in the territory of Huayu, Xue Xie and Elsa went to visit the Southern University.
As we all know, Xue Xie and the southern states of the Chinese region he represents.
They always have one main demand, or constant strategy-
It will include Bahamut, the strategic outlet to the sea in the southern state, into the territory of China.
Not the control of the Lands of Chaos.
Nor is it a request for a frontier land.
but a land of command.
First, the importance of Bahamut is, at the ordinary level and at the ordinary level, a potentially important economic blue ocean in the southern states and even in China.
If it is successful, it will have a lot of benefits to the economy of the southern state, and then can raise social stability to a new level, and the quality of life of ordinary people will be improved, all kinds of bullshit social problems can be effectively solved, and at the same time, a stable social environment can also effectively reduce the occurrence of all kinds of mysterious events.
This point, whether it is for the local system of the southern state or the six imperial mansions of the six cornerstones of Huayu, is very urgent and urgent, but the most urgent is the southern state.
Why?
It's about the Flower City incident.
The Huacheng incident was facilitated by the stargazing platform in the Six Imperial Mansions.
Although many things have wind and life, traces and shadows, but their fundamental purpose and severity, until the time of the outbreak, no one can make a specific judgment, and because they belong to the same domain, the relationship between the upper and lower levels is difficult to define, giving the observatory a lot of space and time to operate.
As a result, the outer gods broke through the spiritual barrier and set foot in reality, coupled with an old star lord who was about to get out of control, and various interests hidden behind the scenes, the final result was that several secret instruments in the Temple of the Priest were activated at the cost of various invisible consumption such as 'luck' in the southern state.
Although the time is short, the 'resources' are spent, and the cost will fall on all aspects of the southern states.
From top to bottom, whether it is a mysterious person or an ordinary citizen, or even the southern land, he will be a potential victim of the secret rite in the future.
At this point, for the local system, they are between the mysterious and the everyday, and the organizational structure and interest demands are complex aggregates, not as simple as the structure of the Six Imperial Mansions, so the compensation that the Six Imperial Mansions can offer is not acceptable to the southern governors and others.
Whether it is the Southern Commander, the Southern Governor, the departments at all levels in the South, and even the people sent here by the Six Imperial Mansions, they don't want to just get soup and water, and all parties want more specific and explicit 'things'.
Thus, the southern group has a clear appeal.
It is the price of obtaining a new source of external benefits to supplement the activation of the secret instrument.
With this goal, the southern department has set its sights on Bahamut.
Therefore, Elsa and Zuo Dao's appointment before the fire is not a pie from heaven or a chance to do so.
Contrary to the most obvious economic and political problems.
At that time, Zuo Dao, when he found this sign, naturally knew it.
But this kind of thing can't be put on the table.
At least his current status is not enough to go to the chess player seat to talk about the gains and losses.
Therefore, after seeing this, the left path put it into action.
Just as from the beginning of the departure, he pinched here to fight for the interests and right to speak for him and Elsa, even if their resumes are very small, their combat power is shallow, and their own right to speak can be said to be nothing, but they can go all the way smoothly, talk and laugh.
To put it simply, he is also a professional!
Back to the topic, after the first point is finished, it is natural that the second point needs to be analyzed.
Second, Huayu.
After talking about the slightly ordinary level, I have to mention this damn world.
This is a world where mystery is the main system, although there are slight differences in local customs, but it is undeniable that-
If there is no mystery in human beings, then the current environment is probably this group of people worshipping evil gods, that group of people thinking of destroying the world, and another group of people like crazy people, pursuing mysterious powers and exploring the so-called truth.
They will be such neurotics, and people with different minds will become inferior to pigs and dogs, and become neuropaths and living consumables in their eyes.
Although in the opinion of the left road...
At present, the internal environment of the mysterious circle is actually quite extreme, but the solution is also clever.
People create domains for themselves, and then gain a sense of belonging and protection, which gives the mysterious people of humanity a small sense of responsibility, and they are able to keep their original intentions, clear the fog, and move forward, protecting the daily lives of ordinary people in their own ways.
Speaking of which, for the top level of Huayu, which is the six core departments dominated by mysterious abilities, the importance of Bahamut has another layer of strategic significance-
It is important to know that this world has a geopolitics similar to the world of the left, for example, the coastal areas and the outer seas of islands and reefs will have sovereignty within a certain range.
Within this scope, each domain has absolute autonomy, who is allowed to pass, who is not allowed, theoretically between their thoughts, if someone rashly violates, will suffer an absolute and irresponsible counterattack, even if the process is inhumane, no one will say a word, this is for this world.
Interestingly, Bahamut's sovereign waters contain an important shipping route, which is not only inhabited by few mysterious creatures, but also has a very low risk of mysterious disasters, making it an absolute treasure route for all land regions.
Therefore, if either side can include Bahamut in the territorial area, then by virtue of this, it will increase its own political discourse, if someone is at odds with it, only the enemy needs to be forbidden to sail in, and the other side can only choose another route that is slightly riskier: the Rhode Island shipping route.
What's more, you can only take the extremely risky wild sea route, which is definitely a nightmare existence for those who go to sea, even if you are well prepared, there is a probability that the entire fleet will be wiped out because of various mysterious events.
Back to the point.
It is not easy to include this territory in the territory, after all, the acquisition of the territory needs to be spread out little by little like a game, so there are actually only two regions that can hope to include Bahamut, that is, Huayu and Aleman Domain.
In terms of Huayu, they are actually infinitely close to success, after all, after leaving Xishan City, they are only one Hekarim away from Bahamut, and they have a natural influence radiation range, if no one makes trouble, it is only a matter of time for Huayu.
And the Aleman Domain is also not weak, at that time, they included Rhodes, an overseas island near Bahamut, into the border land, so they also have the conditions and strength to try the plan to recover Bahamut.
As a result, serious contradictions arose between the two parties in this place, and a series of later events also occurred.
The final result was that Bahamut and Hekarim were turned into a chaotic place by the Aleman Domain, and many years later, Huayu turned Hekarim into a border land again, and Bahamut's work was in preparation, and Huayu would never give up on this place.
As for the Aleman Domain, it was also retaliated against, and Rhodes, which served as a springboard for the open sea, was turned into a chaotic place by the Chinese Domain, cutting off the qualification ticket to directly intervene in Bahamut from the root; However, although they lost their tickets, they did not completely lose them, and if Hekarim became a frontier one day, they could still compete for it, and this was enough for them to continue to obstruct and maintain their coveting.
This feud is getting deeper and deeper, and there is a vague kind of enmity between the two parties...
The attitude of the two sides is gradually not treated from the perspective of interests and stability.
The fight is more or less angry, striving to get some lives.
Returning to the other domains, they lacked a key springboard from the very beginning, so they could only make trouble, hoping that Bahamut would remain as it was.
For them, chaos and frontier lands are acceptable, because there is no need to pay additional benefits and compromises for the sake of the navigation route, and only a little effort or human life can be invested in the long-term profits, so why not?
This kind of problem has nothing to do with good and evil, morality, fairness and humility, and people in all regions know very well that these things can only be talked about and done if they have enough strength, otherwise, they will only make themselves a docile lamb to the slaughter, and those are the root poison of the lamb.
To sum up, at the level of Huayu, not to mention the old accounts, in terms of today's internal situation, the top management of Huayu needs more external influence, and even if they are weak, they have to show their fangs and show their strength.
Moreover, the current Huayu is not weak, but only in a weak and declining hell, so the existence of the Aleman Domain and its contradictions are the main objects of Huayu's unity, which also raises the importance of wilderness action to a higher level.
Thinking far away, this can only be blamed on the people in the consciousness space who are always active in their thinking.
The brain on the left side is no exception.
Back to the point.
Since he learned about this through various materials, Zuo Dao found a problem.
The water in Bahamut is so fucking deep!
It was so deep that he didn't know where to start for a while.
Why?
This is because all parties have invested a lot of attention and manpower in this area.
It's a metaphor: if you take a slice of bread in Bahamut today with the identity of Huayu, tomorrow you'll be presented to the tables of the intelligence agencies of the various domains, and it will be detailed down to the millisecond.
Therefore, anything done in Bahamut will be explored with a magnifying glass, and all anomalies will be hindered by people outside the Chinese region, but once you enter this hellish place, embattled and ambushed on all sides are not enough to support the background music of this play.
And on the left side, there is a reason why he can't fish and stand by, and he urgently needs to do results.
So much so that in order to solve these problems, he didn't know how many paper figures he crumpled.
Why can't Zuo Dao choose to fish and stand by?
The rationale for this is clear.
He is not only a human being, but also has the essence of all kinds of human inferiority.
Not long after coming here, he joined the subordinate organ of Tianlang Pavilion, the Comprehensive Affairs Bureau.
There, he experienced the harshness of this world, or the harshness of Huayu.
Where's the harshness?
For example, in the same comprehensive bureau, although he can't say that he wants to be windy and rainy, he will be greatly satisfied with the mysterious knowledge and related authority, among which it is undeniable that Zuo Dao deliberately showed his 'talent', but he can't ignore the support provided by the background from Zang Cry to Cheng Jiu to Bai Xiuyuan.
If there were no them, then he would be like other ordinary members of the Comprehensive Affairs Bureau, who could only be a mysterious and ordinary operator for many years, although he couldn't talk about it until he was old, but in Zuo Dao's opinion, it was not much worse, and this was something he couldn't accept.
He can endure the constraints brought by the aura of heaven and earth, even if he can see the height of the sky when he raises his head, but he can't bear to be in the mysterious and active world, he can only be an ordinary person, or a special agent who can't go up or down, which not only can't satisfy his thirst for knowledge, but also pins his net worth and life on others.
Therefore, the left lane will not give up any chance to go up.
But what...
The problem of Bahamut is really difficult to solve.
But it's just that it's just hard to do, and Zuo Dao still has some thoughts.
First of all, the old lady Wen Yue, who is now semi-retired in Xishan City, and was once a senior intelligence officer from the foreign region, has given enough hints that Huayu's current attitude towards Bahamut is that it cannot be more biased towards other regions.
The second requirement is to maintain the current chaotic situation, it would be better if it could be a little more chaotic, and the final higher requirement is to let Bahamut finally be included in Huayu, but whether it is Xue Xie or Wen Yue, there are enough hints, it is urgent in this regard.
Having said that, Zuo Dao is in a hurry.
Moreover, from leaving Xishan City and even coming to Hecarim, Zuo Dao and Elsa have almost received unconditional resources and the right to speak, which makes him feel the direction of the internal wind.
It was a restless feeling.
After a lot of confusion, Zuo Dao finally came up with a plan, which can also be said to be an idea.
He classified this into eight words to report: from the surface to the point, full flowering, side knocking and prying, and accumulating fists.
Talking about people-
The attention of this ghost place is so high, and although the Aleman Domain has temporarily lost its qualifications, it has not completely lost it, so in this case, normally there are only two ways, either to quickly recover Hekarim and Bahamut with lightning speed, or to deal with it slowly with an attitude of fighting for baht.
But for the left side, there is a third type.
Since this is the case, then let's not talk about Bahamut first, but attack the forces in the nearby area and the Aleman domain to attack it wildly, and involve the power of the domain first, even if the other party knows that the purpose of the Huayu side is Bahamut, it will choose to focus on other places first because of the current problem.
In this way, they will find that Huayu has never taken substantive action against Bahamut, and then among the high-level leaders of the Aleman domain, there will definitely be a considerable number of people who think that this is the baby of the Huayu side, and in the end, the wolf did not come, and Huayu itself can continue to wait for the time to mature, and finally officially enter the market.
When the Aleman domain is in the trap, the time is not ripe for the Huayu side during the period, so as long as they want to, this kind of nesting doll can theoretically be carried out indefinitely, and before that, any layer of dolls may become a substantial blow to the Aleman domain.
It's a generalized and regeneralized idea.
Not surprisingly, not long after he submitted the report, it was approved.
However, there is one thing that Zuo Dao, who is now receiving Xue Xie's information, did not think...
"Old Xue, above..."
"Isn't it a bit too big?"
In the consciousness space, Xue Xie let out a hehey smirk.
