Chapter 471: What About People?
Zheng Liming and Lu Bieli went their separate ways shortly after arriving in the Shengyuan Empire.
To be precise, after the two suffered a plane crash.
After the cloud rail spaceship was shot down, Lu Bieli stayed on the bright side, walked with Bai Xiao and the others, and accompanied them to attract the attention of all the Shengyuan people.
So much so that almost no one remembers that there was also a fat man from Qin who quietly disappeared in the air crash.
Zheng Liming and Lu Bieli don't have too much personal relationship, but they have a tacit understanding when they act.
Taking advantage of the landing parting, he started an expedition in Shengyuan, and Zheng Liming was down-to-earth to collect clues in Shengyuan's land.
At the moment when the cloud orbital spacecraft exploded, Zheng Liming realized that there must be a big conspiracy behind it, and to investigate the conspiracy, we must not stay on the bright side.
Although judging from his figure, Zheng Liming seems to be the most unsuitable candidate in the world to secretly investigate the truth, but as he went deep into Shengyuan to promote fried chicken, all kinds of information were naturally placed in front of him on the dining table, like thousands of streams returning to the sect.
"To cut a long story short, this is an organization that has a wide reach, deep-rooted, but never known. ”
Lu Bieli couldn't help frowning after hearing only this sentence: "Don't you think these points are self-contradictory?"
"That's exactly what I thought at first, but if you think about it differently, if you think of this tissue as a microorganism that lives in the human body, you will find that it is actually very reasonable. Zheng Liming explained, "In the advanced course of biochemical domain, it should be mentioned that each of us has countless microorganisms in our bodies, and a considerable number of them are even parasitic in harmful ways, such as viruses. But because the damage is very weak, it has not been known. It wasn't until one day that these microorganisms suddenly mutated, causing serious harm to the human body and causing pathologies, that people became aware of their existence. ”
Lu Bieli nodded: "So you mean ......"
Zheng Liming said: "This organization is like a dormant virus, but it has been silently multiplying for the past long years, but it has been unknown because it is very least virulent. It wasn't until we arrived that it suddenly went into a stressful state. ”
Lu Bieli said: "This hypothesis is very interesting, but there are also many difficult things to explain. ”
Zheng Liming said: "Yes, but these difficult places often contain the most important information. For example, the biggest difference between viruses and organizations is that viruses do not need unified command, they can function as long as they continue to multiply. However, the organization must be coordinated to maintain its existence. ”
Lu Bieli added: "It also needs to be driven by interests. ”
That's right, whether it's the organization itself or the members joining the organization, the core must be the word interest. According to my findings, the benefits do exist, but they are difficult to trace. ”
"Oh, it's hard to trace?"
Zheng Liming explained: "To be precise, the flow of interests of this organization is very strange, the general formal organization, the flow of interests is from countless low-level individuals to a small number of upper-level hands, and then through the collective effect of this part of the interests fed back, to achieve a win-win cycle, that is, the so-called take from the people, use for the people." But this organization is different, and before we arrive, we can't see what is taken from the people, only what is used for the people. ”
"One-sided charity?" Lu Bieli also felt incredible, "And in the long historical timeline, such a large-scale and in-depth charity?"
Zheng Liming said: "Yes, although it is very incredible, I have repeatedly researched hundreds of cases, and almost without exception they are the same routine: someone is in urgent need of help, and the other party almost does not ask for anything in return, only preaches a general theory to them." ”
"General theory?" Lu Bieli keenly grasped the key point, "In other words, the theoretical form is still different in different places?"
"This is the most interesting point, on the way I came, I explicitly asked more than 10 members of the organization, and they preached to me with different theories! If you have to sum it up, there are probably only two things in common, one is the 'kinship' theory, which believes that human beings have a common origin, are brothers and sisters to each other, and should be united and mutually helpful. This is also the core theory of their ability to attract new members through various kinds of charcoal in the snow. The second is the 'homeland' theory, which I can roughly summarize as follows: this world is the perfect home given to us by the Creator, and it contains endless wealth, and we can achieve happiness as long as we take care of this wealth. ”
Lu Bieli groaned, and after a while, he analyzed: "The kinship theory is not new, many religions have similar views, which is a necessary part of the organization to maintain cohesion. But the latter home theory is very interesting, and it happens to correspond to a piece of information from my side. ”
Saying that, Lu Bieli briefly talked about the tragedy that happened to Ning Xianze a few days ago.
Zheng Liming suddenly understood: "I see, are the key words 'homeland' and 'prophet'? ”
Lu Bieli asked, "Then do you believe in the existence of the homeland and the prophet?"
"Hearing is false, seeing is believing, and with just these hearsay, I can casually come up with more than ten kinds of scams to explain. But if I could witness the miracle with my own eyes, I would naturally admit the reality. ”
After speaking, Zheng Liming raised his head and waited quietly for something.
Lu Bili stretched out his hand and pinched a fried chicken thigh, and swallowed it with the meat and bones in one bite.
After a while, Zheng Liming lowered his head: "It seems that there is no miracle, I thought there would be some kind of omniscient and all-powerful supreme who can glimpse everything at any time, and come to show me a miracle when he hears my doubts." ”
Lu Bie Li sneered: "This kind of unrealistic delusion should be quit when you are an adolescent." ”
"My biggest delusion in adolescence was that I wouldn't have so many women bothering me in the future, and this delusion came true. ”
Lu Bieli almost choked on these words, but he couldn't refute them.
Zheng Liming has indeed realized his delusion!
After telling his story, Zheng Liming asked, "So, what do you gain here?"
Lu Bieli said: "The harvest is very small, after all, most of the things are done by those tribesmen, and my contribution is probably only one thing." ”
"What?"
"I'm afraid something has happened. ”
——
"Speaker...... Are you still in retreat?"
"Why is it at this time!?Lei Shicheng needs him to come forward to maintain order, and the result is ......"
"Moreover, those Qin people in Thunder Stone City were also invited by the Speaker General, and now that the guests have been here for so long, there is no reason for him, as the host, to close the door and not see the guests. ”
"Could it be something wrong?"
"Don't talk nonsense, when did the speaker have an accident?"
"Isn't it an accident now!"
The Demon Dao Council of the Saint Yuan Empire is in unprecedented chaos at this moment.
Because they have been out of contact with Zhou Yu for 3 days.
In fact, as early as when the disaster of the thunder fire burning city in Thunderstone City came, people were wondering, why didn't Zhou Yu appear?
This guardian of the empire and even human civilization should not allow this kind of natural disaster to come.
What's more, the Qin people, who arrived in time at that time, took action to resolve the disaster, which made the Shengyuan people feel even more embarrassed!
Where the hell is the Speaker? Why should he ignore the suffering of the Shengyuan people? Is he in some trouble?
It is a pity that none of these doubts have been answered, and the parliamentarians have been arguing for a long time in the meeting, but it is completely useless, and no one can provide useful clues, and seeing that the problem cannot be solved, the topic is naturally pulled into the conflict between parties and interests.
"The chaos in Thunderstone City, no matter what you think, is the responsibility of the northern faction, right? If it weren't for you cutting the budget of Thunderstone City year after year, why would the Thunder Tower be destroyed?"
"Fart! The lightning tower in Thunderstone City was not damaged by disrepair, it was destroyed by the inner ghosts! And who said that it was necessary to strengthen the supervision of Thunderstone City and forcibly stuff a group of related households into it?"
"It's insulting for you people from the northern faction to speak!"
"They are all members of the Parliament, where did this faction come from!?"
As the dispute intensified, the emotions of the parliamentarians gradually surged, and if it weren't for the lingering power of Zhou Yu's years of amnesty in the hall, I am afraid that they would have bled on the spot.
Seeing that the situation was about to become inextricable, someone finally put forward a constructive suggestion.
"If you can't find the speaker, you should contact His Royal Highness the Prince, but what about His Royal Highness the Prince?"
The hustle and bustle in the venue suddenly condensed, and people were stunned.
"Yes, what about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
"He is the successor who has been cultivated by the speaker for many years, and if the speaker has anything, he will at least ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to preside over the work on his behalf......"
"It's strange, why didn't you think of contacting His Royal Highness the Crown Prince before?"
"It's not like some people are worried about factional disputes every day, and they have to fight dissidents when they find an opportunity!"
"That's enough, don't make any more pointless arguments, even if you wipe out all your political enemies here?
And after a series of noises, an even more chilling truth has finally been discovered.
They can't even get in touch with Prince Yuanyi.
——
And just when the Saint Yuan Council was in chaos, far above the meeting hall, beyond the sky, there was a shade cast on the top of the clouds.
Under the shade of the trees, an old man and a young man played cross-legged.
The younger side plays chess very fast and can lose almost without thinking, while the older side often ends up in long exams.
A moment later, as the old man dropped the black discs in his hand, the last few white discs on the chessboard also flipped over, turning the chessboard into a pitch black.
The young man fell back a little exaggeratedly and said with a smile: "Sure enough, no matter what chess you are, you can't win against the teacher." However, I still didn't understand why I was playing chess here, and I always felt that there should be something more important. ”
The old man wiped the chessboard with his hand, so that all the chess pieces naturally returned to their places, and then said: "Don't think about it if you don't understand, you will naturally know when the time comes." ”
"So do you know, teacher?"
"When I know, you know. ”
"Well, since you said so, teacher, it's rare for me to be confused, and I'll play another game with you. ”
