The underground of the company's headquarters.

Bi Youlong and Huang Boren were in a gloomy room, one of the walls at the front of the room was made up of several large floor-to-ceiling windows, from which they could clearly see that in another room outside, there was a mechanical chair that looked extremely intricate.

At this time, the two people who were arguing on the board now seem to be quite peaceful.

"Bi Dong, what do you think Zhao Dong is adjusting this time?" In the silence, Huang Boren suddenly took the initiative to ask.

"How do I know!"

Bi Youlong choked him casually, but then he was also a little silent.

"This is the ...... It's unreasonable, Lao Zhao wouldn't really think that little Taoist priest could resurrect the dead. ”

"Haha...... No, I can't. Huang Boren laughed dryly.

While he looked like he was on Zheng's side at the previous meeting, in reality, as the person in charge of the company's internal technical side, he knew better how difficult it was to do so.

The reason why he opposed Bi Youlong at the meeting before was actually just to be able to ask for a little more money.

Earn money, don't shudder.

After a brief conversation, the two fell silent again, and the room fell silent again.

In fact, the two people present knew very well that the most important influencing factor in this matter was the phone call that Zhao Fangxu received during the meeting.

Although they couldn't hear the voice on the phone, just by relying on a few answers from Zhao Fangxu, they could almost judge that this matter was related to higher-level figures.

But...... That's the problem.

Where did the upper echelons come from?

Although it is true that the company is a company set up by the state in order to control the population red line of the aliens, because of the particularity of the company's tasks, they are actually very clean from the top.

Although a certain amount of resources can be mobilized to assist in helping, in any case, they are indeed just a company, not even a state-owned enterprise!

And this also means that the independence of the company is actually quite large, and the separation between the two sides is as huge as the separation between Inhumans and ordinary people.

Although the top level also sent supervisors, in essence, Zhao Fangxu was indeed the top leader in the affairs related to Inhumans.

If someone wants to directly command Zhao Fangxu in terms of inhuman affairs, it can only be said that it is unlikely.

And most importantly......

"Looking at Lao Zhao's appearance, he just wants to take advantage of it!"

This is the common voice of Bi Youlong and Huang Boren at this moment.

Everyone has worked together for decades, and they have all come all the way from the company's initial stage, although several people are superficially superiors and subordinates, but they are basically brothers who have passed their lives.

It's no exaggeration to say that everyone present pouted their butts, and the few remaining people knew what he wanted to fart.

Although Zhao Fangxu had been expressionless in the process of answering the phone, the moment he put down the phone, the two of them could still distinguish it in an instant through some small movements of this guy.

This guy ...... It's exactly like a fox who has stolen a chicken.

"Look at the order he gave before, it is for us to quickly review the procedures that Zheng Shu took him to the next step, but we also want other people to review it slowly, so that the whole first step of the procedure will be delayed."

Huang Boren recalled what Zhao Fangxu said at the meeting, his eyes flickering.

In other words, he wanted to get more benefits from that little Taoist priest by delaying time, as for what benefits...... No way? Is there really a technology in this world to resurrect the dead?! ”

"You're already here, sorry, I'm late."

At this time, Zhao Fangxu opened the door and came to the room, which also interrupted Huang Boren's thinking.

"No, we've just arrived." Huang Boren smiled and nodded.

Bi Youlong was even more direct: "It just so happened that kid was also sent over, how about it?" To get started? ”

Zhao Fangxu looked at the scene in front of him, lifted his glasses, and nodded expressionlessly.

"Well, let's get started, then let's let the little Taoist leader of Baiyun Temple get on this wide stool first."

……

……

After a long time, Zhao Fangxu looked at Zheng Shu who was sitting on the chair below, and nodded expressionlessly.

"Hmm...... The matter about Biyou Village is basically about the same, and it seems that it is indeed an accident that the little Taoist will be involved in our mission this time, so we will pay more here. ”

"Understandably, it's normal for you to be cautious in the face of someone like me who suddenly appears there."

Zheng Shu, who was sitting on the wide stool, nodded, he was not tied to the chair by them like Zhuge Qing in the original book, but simply let himself sit on it.

It's just that according to their regulations, his limbs and body must fit perfectly into this stool, which makes Zheng Shu's sitting posture look extremely arrogant.

In the process of being questioned, Zheng Shu also kept exploring the inner structure of this stool with his mental power.

After the analysis was completed, Zheng Shu also roughly understood the working principle of this stool.

"Hey, should I say it's official? The basic principle of this stool is even more powerful than I imagined, is it actually to directly detect the fluctuations of the soul and qi to confirm whether it is a lie? ”

It's easier to say that the focus is on detecting the soul.

If you can detect, you can manipulate, even if you can't do it now, you just need to continue to study along this path, and you can definitely do it in the future.

The most important thing is that it is not a practitioner who can achieve this function, but a machine!

Needless to say, what this means.

"With this kind of research ability, it seems that I have chosen the right person for my plan!"

Just as Zheng Shu was "learning" the design concept and construction principle of Cong Kuan's stool with relish, in the room on the other side, the three directors had already discussed the next issues.

"So...... The next question. Zheng Shu, what you once mentioned in front of our employees about being able to resurrect Liao Zhong is true? ”

"That's right."

"Can you really bring the dead back to life?"

"That's right."

"Are there any language traps in this?"

"Nope."

……

The questioning of this last set of questions lasted for a long time, and the three directors repeatedly asked questions through various statements and various methods to ensure that the resurrection of the dead mentioned by Zheng Shu was not a so-called language trap or other type of fraud.

"Okay, the questions you need have basically been asked, and it's time to trouble the little path."

After Zhao Fangxu said a word into the microphone, he glanced at the two directors next to him, nodded and continued:

"I heard that you are willing to assist us in resurrecting the person in charge of Liao, please rest assured, I will let my subordinates fully cooperate with your actions. However, this ability of yours is too shocking, so it may be necessary for you to stay in the Dark Fort for a while in the near future. ”

"Oh, I've heard of the name of the Darkcastle for a long time, and I've heard that there are a lot of top researchers in there, so I'm looking forward to it." Zheng Shu smiled and nodded, which was exactly what he meant.

"It's a prize, it's just a secret research institute, and the company set up a dark castle to help those strangers whose lives are affected by special abilities return to normal life, and they don't deserve this kind of praise from you. But if there is a need, I will get the staff there to fully cooperate. ”

"Chairman Zhao is humble......"

The two praised each other for a while, and it wasn't until Zheng Shu left here with another staff member that Zhao Fangxu's expression regained calm.

"What do you think?"

Bi Youlong and Huang Boren glanced at each other, hesitated twice, and finally stood up for Bi Youlong, who spoke more directly.

"To be honest, judging from the results of the inquiry, this Zheng Shu is indeed convinced that his technology can resurrect people, but ......"

"What's wrong?"

"But looking at it like this, it feels like he's been deceived." Huang Boren helped his glasses and took Bi Youlong's words.

"Didn't we ask him where the technology came from, and he admitted that while he designed it entirely himself, it did come with the help of some other people. From this point of view, this little Taoist may be too simple, so he easily trusts others. ”

Huang Boren's words were actually already closed, and if he really wanted to say it directly, he felt that Zheng Shu had been deceived.

After all, he had never heard of any technology in the Inhuman Realm that could bring people back to life.

From the perspective of reasonable inference, the whole thing is completely a story of a little Taoist priest who has just traveled out of the mountain to watch, and was cheated of money because he was too naïve.

"That's right...... It sounds like that. Zhao Fangxu lowered his head, and he couldn't tell what was on his face through his reflective glasses.

"So, do you still need to send this Dao Master to the Dark Castle?" Huang Boren asked.

Although every time someone goes to the Bunker, they will try to make all kinds of precautions to reduce the possibility of being discovered by someone to find the specific location of the Bunker.

But every time one more person goes to the bunker, there is always a greater risk of being found out.

"No, the Bunker still has to go, and this is not the only problem with this little leader. By the way, Boren, after this Zheng Xiaodao has arrived in the Dark Castle, you should meet his needs as much as possible as we promised. ”

Zhao Fangxu's answer was a bit unexpected by the two, but Huang Boren still nodded decisively.

"Okay, I got it."

Taking advantage of the time when the next person came in, Bi Youlong hesitated a little and asked the question in his heart.

"Lao Zhao, you don't really think that little guy can resurrect people, do you? It always feels like something isn't quite right about you. ”

"Well...... You don't know much about this for the time being. ”

"Oh?!"

Huang Boren and Bi Youlong glanced at each other, and they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

With their positions, they couldn't learn too much information, and they felt that the matter on this Zheng Shu was much more serious than they imagined.

However, from this aspect, the two also indirectly knew the importance of Zheng Shu.

"Okay, I see, it's me who is too talkative!"

……

……

After Zheng Shu got into an all-black car with these employees of Nadutong, the employee sitting in front handed him a black cloth belt and put it in front of him.

"Xiaodao Chief, I'm sorry for you, this is the rule after all."

"Okay."

Zheng Shu took the black strap and looked at it curiously, and obediently tied it to his eyes.

As soon as he put it on, he felt something different, not only his eyesight, but even his mental power seemed to be disturbed to a certain extent.

Although Zheng Shu is completely immune to this level of disturbance, if he is an ordinary warlock, then even if he decides the Qimen game in advance, he will not be able to guess the direction and location of the car.

"Interesting."

Without any more tricks, Zheng Shu quietly closed his eyes and fell into thought.

After a not-so-short period of time, Zheng Shu felt that the car had finally stopped.

The car was not slow along the way, but it should have taken a lot of detours, which is why it took so long.

After removing the black straps, I looked outside, and it was a completely enclosed, tunnel-like place.

Zheng Shu could clearly feel that the elements here were more active than normal, and these elements were running along a certain trajectory, so it seemed that there should be some kind of formation set up here.

Outside the car, a resolute man in a white lab coat was already waiting here.

After waiting for a while, another car drove into the tunnel, and it was one of the directors of Nadutong who got out of the car: Huang Boren.

After he got out of the car, he handed over to the person waiting outside the car, and then Zheng Shu, the staff who had not moved in the car, took the initiative to get out of the car and helped Zheng Shu open the rear door.

"Chief Zheng Xiaodao, we met in that room before. I'm Huang Boren, and I'm in charge of things here. Huang Boren walked to Zheng Shu's side very enthusiastically.

"Hello, Director Huang." Zheng Shu. Graciously reached out and shook his hand.

"Let's go, Daoist Zheng, I've asked them to arrange a room for you here, and you may have to stay here for a while. But rest assured, although our Dark Castle is rumored to be scary, it is actually a rescue center with a relatively high degree of secrecy, mainly to help those who are troubled by their abilities. ”

Huang Boren seemed quite talkative, and introduced all kinds of information to Zheng Shu as he walked inside.

"By the way, that's where Chen Duo is temporarily imprisoned. Because of the special nature of her abilities, in order to prevent accidents, she was locked up in the place where she used to live.

After all, in that room, in order to make Chen Duo's life more normal, such as air purification devices or sewer purification devices, they had already been installed. What do you think? Want to visit her? While passing by a door, Huang Boren suddenly proposed.

"Oh? Is this appropriate? Zheng Shu was a little puzzled.

"Hey! There is nothing suitable or inappropriate, unlike the others in Biyou Village, Chen Duo's crime has actually been determined a long time ago.

However, because of the particularity of the incident, there is no too specific way to deal with it now, so she can only be locked up like this, and if Daochang Zheng wants to visit, there is no problem. ”

"No, if things go well, I think I'll be able to see her again." Zheng Shu shook his head and declined Huang Boren's kindness.

"Haha, Daochang Zheng is right, if it can really succeed, then the rules on our side may have to be changed." Huang Boren laughed twice in agreement.

After that, the two didn't say anything more, and Huang Boren led Zheng Shu to the other door.

"This is the room we arranged for the Taoist, the time is urgent, so it's a little shabby, I hope the Xiaodaoist will forgive me."

Saying this, Huang Boren swiped the card and opened the door of the room.

Zheng Shu felt that his eyes lit up after entering, the whole room was not too big, but all kinds of facilities were available, and there were even things like TV sofas.

It looks like it's more of a hotel room than a secret detention base.

"Wow! This place is much better than what I live in Baiyunguan. ”

"Laugh, this is your room card. Because the nature of this place is relatively special, so there is no Internet thing, but you can watch the TV or something.

There are also a lot of books on the bookshelf next to it, if the trailmaster has any other books needed, you can always tell the staff. If you want food, you can go to the cafeteria at the appointed time, or you can ask the staff to help you bring it to your room. ”

After Zheng Shu took the room card, he felt that something was wrong.

"Huh? The company isn't going to lock me up? ”

Huang Boren smiled expectedly:

"Daochang Zheng said with a smile, you have already explained the incident in Biyou Village before, so in essence, there is nothing between us. In fact, if the little Taoist leader has nothing else to do after that, no one will stop you even if you want to go back to Baiyun Temple.

The reason why I arranged for you to come to the bunker is actually just for the sake of safety, after all, the technology you proposed is too appalling, and the interests involved are too great, so you must be considered for your safety.

Coincidentally, didn't Daochang Zheng want to cooperate with the company? There are a lot of researchers here in the Bunker who can assist you, and the material technology and everything else can satisfy you as much as possible, so it's a pretty good place. ”

Zheng Shu nodded with a somewhat strange expression: "To be honest, I'm really a little surprised, so when can I start resurrecting Liao Zhong?" ”

"According to your thoughts, you can continue at any time if you want, but after being so tired today, doesn't Daochang Zheng need to take a break?"

"No, although I already have mature technology, there is still a lot of preparation in the early stage, so it will take a lot of time." Zheng Shu thought for a moment, "Can you provide me with some materials?" I still need a little research on the materials used in the resurrection. ”

"Of course it's no problem, as long as you report the list of materials, do you need me to free up a laboratory for you?" Huang Boren is still smiling.

"Then don't bother, I'll be in this room."

"Okay, then Daoist Zheng, you only need to report the materials and I can arrange for someone to send them to you, what do you need?"

"Hmm...... Let's give me a little bit of each element according to the periodic table, the quantity is not too much, but the category should be complete. Zheng Shu put forward his own request after thinking for a while.

"Huh?"

……

……

"Strange things, strange things, it doesn't make sense......"

It is a company that is inextricably linked to the upper echelons, although Zheng Shu's request is quite outrageous, but it still gives him most of the elements in a very short period of time.

According to the staff who came to deliver the goods, there is no reserve on the side of the remaining "controlled" elemental bunker for the time being, but it will be able to be transferred to him soon.

As for Huang Boren, he is also a director of the company, there are so many things every day, and it is quite face-saving to be able to take the time to send Zheng Shu all the way, and after Zheng Shu made a request, he had already hurriedly resigned and left.

However, Zheng Shu is too lazy to care about Huang Boren's movements now, and he has huge doubts about the company's attitude towards him.

Before the materials were sent, Zheng Shu had already used his spiritual power to inspect the entire house, and he didn't find anything like a listening system.

In addition, even if he made such an unreasonable request, he could be quickly satisfied, even if Zheng Shu had already sensed that something was wrong before, he still couldn't understand it after actually testing it.

"It doesn't make sense, you can believe me so easily, right?"

Zheng Shu almost scratched his head bald and didn't understand what was going on, and in his previous thoughts, the most difficult thing was how to gain the trust of these veteran directors of the company.

Because of the existence of "Qi" in this world, even if those people in the upper echelons of the country are about the same level as Zheng Shu before he crossed the world, they still have some special places.

For example...... Less susceptible to being deceived in some ways.

To put it simply, because "Qi" is real, it is not easy to be deceived in some ways.

It's like people in this world who will also pursue immortality, but unless there is some practical evidence, they will not easily believe in the existence of immortality.

The same goes for "Resurrection".

To put it bluntly, without any inheritance and basis, he suddenly said that he could bring people back to life, even Zheng Shu felt like a liar.

So they believed me? No...... Although Huang Boren didn't show anything on his expression when he spoke, his mental fluctuations obviously didn't believe it. Strange, although I don't believe it, I still get people to cooperate with me fully. Could it be that Baiyun Temple is so related? Can't ......."

After thinking about it for a long time and not figuring it out, Zheng Shu simply left this matter behind.

It doesn't matter what they want to do, they just need to be able to accomplish their goals.

As for now......

Zheng Shu looked at the small boxes in front of him, and picked up a box marked "H" without hesitation.

The moment he opened the box, a faint light lit up on his palm, that is, the divine weapon that showed the state of mind was detecting the substance inside the box.

This is the first purpose of Zheng Shu's whole plan.

The reforging of the Divine Armament required Zheng Shu to analyze most of the material information in this world, and this kind of thing would be quite difficult if it were done by an individual.

After all, not to mention those "controlled" substances, even collecting some relatively ordinary substances is enough to consume the effort.

So he decided to use the power of the company to help him collect the substances on the periodic table.

"I have to admit that in this regard, it has to be the power of the 'state' that is more appropriate."

Looking at these small boxes on his desk, a smile appeared on Zheng Shu's face.

……

……

It took Zheng Shu three full days to analyze the physical properties of all the elements, and in these three days, the remaining elements that were not sent at the beginning were basically sent to Zheng Shu.

While marveling at the company's efficiency, Zheng Shu also felt more and more strange about this matter.

"But none of this has anything to do with me, now I can move on to the next step."

After analyzing the last element, Zheng Shu looked at the small boxes in front of him, completely sealed them, and then led them to find a staff member in the dark castle.

Following him, Zheng Shu found the temporary management of the Dark Castle after putting these elements in place.

"Daochang Zheng, it's rare to see you come out of the room, is there anything else you need?"

The resolute-faced person who came to greet Zheng Shu outside the car that day temporarily put down his work after seeing this Zheng Shu and took the initiative to greet him.

Seeing the other party's attitude, Zheng Shu's inner doubts had another layer, but he still didn't care, but went straight to the point and said his needs.

"Director Wang, through analysis in the past two days, I have calculated the materials needed for the ceremony, if I can, as long as I prepare enough materials, I can start the resurrection ceremony."

"So fast?" Director Wang was stunned.

Huang Boren had already explained the matter about Zheng Shu to Director Wang before leaving, so although he was indeed trying his best to cooperate with Zheng Shu, he really didn't think that Zheng Shu could really resurrect people.

"Yes, this is the list of materials and the space required for the resurrection ceremony, which can be started at any time if it is ready. By the way, can you let me see the body of the person in charge of Liao Zhong? This way I can know better. ”

"If you want to see Lao Liao, it's no problem." Director Wang took the bill of materials from Zheng Shu's hand, and just glanced at it, and his eyes almost popped out.

Because the first entry on the bill of materials reads: Gold, a ton.

After looking at the words written on it and confirming that he was not mistaken, Director Wang glanced at Zheng Shu with strange eyes.

If it weren't for the above request to let him meet Zheng Shu's needs as much as possible, he would even wonder if this kid would have come over and leave.

Stabilizing his thoughts, Director Wang continued to read, and sure enough, the materials behind this material list were also quite not simple.

"Three tons of silver, one ton of titanium, three hundred kilograms of tungsten, two hundred kilograms of platinum, rhodium...... One hundred and fifty kilograms ......"

Every time he read a material, the supervisor's hand shook, but fortunately, the more materials were needed, the less the amount of materials needed, so that Director Wang's originally trembling arm was finally stabilized.

But when he saw the end, his originally calm arms shook again.

"A round wide flat land with a diameter of one kilometer, not limited to desert steppes or rocky types. And then...... A healthy adult living form with a total body weight of more than a ton?! ”

Director Wang's hands trembled more and more, and he began to wonder if Zheng Shu in front of him had accidentally joined some strange sect.

"Ahem...... That, Daoist Zheng, we are now a civilized society, and we no longer want to use people for sacrifices. Besides, if you had to sacrifice so many people's lives to save one person, I'm afraid no one would be willing to agree. ”

"I think Director Wang, you may be a little misunderstood, the last one doesn't necessarily have to be human, in fact, judging from the cost performance, the most suitable should be pigs." Zheng Shu leaned back and made a disgusted expression.

"Ah......h But even animal blood sacrifices are not appropriate. ”

"Who wants a blood sacrifice, I just want to borrow some of the innate qi of these animals, which will not cause much damage to the body itself, but it will cost me a long life. However, for pigs raised by humans, a few years less lifespan is not a big problem. ”

"Ah, that's it, that's what to say." Director Wang breathed a sigh of relief.

As for the materials, although they seem to be of high value, most of the materials in the bunker are actually well stocked.

And as long as you send someone to look at it carefully, then you can recycle the material again after the so-called resurrection ritual is over, so there won't be much loss.

As for the fact that if the ritual does work, and the materials are consumed......

Director Wang thought about it, if the ritual really worked, then the cost of these materials was not too great.

"Hey! I'm thinking about something messy, it seems that this kid's attitude is too serious, and I am infected myself. ”

Director Wang touched his head, and then looked at Zheng Shu with a smile.

"Daochang Zheng, some of these materials and venues need to be applied from other places, but most of them are fine, and they should be available in two or three days."

"Oh! It's a company, and it's amazing. ”

Zheng Shu nodded with some emotion, among the materials he gave, many of them were so-called "controlled products", not to mention the issue of value, if he was allowed to collect them by normal means, it would take too much time.

"Then I'll wait for good news, and before that, I'll go and see the body of the person in charge of Liao Zhong."

"No problem, go this way."

Looking at Director Wang, who was leading the way in front, Zheng Shu nodded with satisfaction, this is the second purpose of his plan: to collect materials.

In addition to the gold and silver, as well as the field and lifeforms, the rest of the materials were actually collected by Zheng Shu for himself, just to forge the weapon of the gods.

This list of materials collected was made by Zheng Shu after the Divine Armament analyzed all the substances in this world.

Of course, such a material is definitely not enough to cast a complete divine armament, but Zheng Shu is not in a hurry, after all, after his ritual is successful, there will be opportunities to obtain new materials later.

"Next...... It's time to complete the ritual. ”

(Today's plus is complete.) ）
