Wu Ge has not been practicing for a long time, but he can be regarded as a veteran in the industry, and he knows the truth that it is not appropriate to cultivate when he is emotionally unstable. After reasoning with the masters, he walked out of the fairy world in a huff.

His official phone rang.

"Hey, which one?"

He answered the phone and asked angrily.

"Oh, what's the matter...... Okay, you're the leader...... But is this a task, is there a subsidy?"

――――7788――――

"Of course satisfied. ”

Wu Ge picked up the teacup and said in a choked tone.

"I just finished a big meal yesterday, and today I have some tea to eat. Of course, the leader arranged it very thoughtfully. ”

He is now in a high-end tea room, and sitting opposite Lao Zhou is there.

Lao Zhou smiled.

"I know you have a misunderstanding of us...... Of course, I caused it. I apologize to you. ”

"There's no need...... Something to say. ”

"I invited you here today, first of all, I want to apologize to you......"

"Let's just talk about it. ”

Wu Ge looked like a prickly head who would not compromise.

Lao Zhou looked helpless.

"Okay...... Actually, it's about your three masters joining the organization. I'd like to hear something from you. ”

"Don't you have a lot of investigative tools?"

Wu Ge sneered.

"Yes. But since you're disgusted with surveys, we're no longer going to use them. Also, didn't you ask me last time what makes me an 'old man'?"

"How?"

"Compared to your master, you are already considered an 'old man'. Lao Zhou said with a smile, "Before a newcomer joins the organization, it is a necessary procedure for the organization to learn some information from the 'old man'. ”

"'Old man', but I don't seem to know anything about the organization?" Wu Ge retorted. "If you really have the sincerity to apologize to me, shouldn't you also explain the situation of the organization to me?"

"That's right. Lao Zhou admitted. "I really should tell you about it. But ......"

"But what?"

Lao Zhou was silent for a moment, and then made up his mind.

"But I want to explain it to you first," Lao Zhou lowered his head and sipped his tea, his lips motionless, but his voice sounded directly in Wu Ge's head. "In an organization like ours, there must be some secrets, even for internal members. How much you know depends on how high you are within the organization. Your level is 2A...... Of course, now it seems that you have greatly concealed your strength, right? If you want me to say, your level is definitely 1A or even more than 1A......"

Wu Ge didn't say anything, it was a tacit acquiescence.

"Of course, this is not to say that what kind of level you have can make you hold what kind of position, what kind of secrets you can know, ability is only one aspect...... Also, I'm just organizing in the region's head. 'I only have the authority to grant 1C level to members of the organization, higher levels need to be approved by headquarters. I will report your situation to HQ and request confirmation that you are at least a Class 1A member. But until then, I can only reveal to you what the 1C-Class members are able to understand. Agreed?"

"Agreed. ”

Wu Ge also did not move his lips, and directly used the sound transmission technique to talk to Lao Zhou. Lao Zhou's words are very sincere, and they are also very reasonable-even if it is a commercial company, it will keep the corresponding confidentiality of internal members according to the hierarchy. Everyone understands this truth, and he has no reason to oppose it.

Besides, the meaning in Lao Zhou's words is that he has been promoted again. From 2A to 1C, if you have been promoted by two levels, how much salary will you have to rise......?

"By the way, what level are you?"

Wu Ge asked.

"I'm just level one, with no letters at the end. ”

Lao Zhou said.

"You're considered level 1? and you're just the 'head' of the region, which means there's level zero?"

"I can't say that. The true strength of the organization is, of course, the core secret. Lao Zhou said with a smile.

"Okay. You continue. ”

Lao Zhou first introduced to Wu Ge the history of the development of the organization and the position of practitioners in the current national strategy, and then roughly introduced the structure of the organization to Wu Ge: one headquarters and four branches. In addition, there are a number of branches that are responsible for special and special tasks and are inconvenient to disclose to 1C. He then explained to Wu Ge the three major tasks of the organization: organizational development, cooperation in scientific research, and "combat missions." ”

"We are different from the police, and we are different from the army in general. We are only responsible for matters related to national security that are inconvenient for the military to intervene or beyond the capabilities of the military. ”

Lao Zhou concluded.

"That is," Wu Ge asked, "we are mainly targeting the aggression of other countries, right?"

"You're right. But that's not accurate enough. ”

"In that case, what about the World Cultivator Organization?"

Wu Ge asked.

Lao Zhou frowned.

"Who told you this?" he asked.

"Uh...... Why, is this also confidential?"

"Yes...... Is it Lao Wang? Unlikely. I guess you heard something while on a mission...... It's Hu Yuanqiao, right?"

"This ......"

Wu Ge was a little embarrassed. This matter was indeed told to him by Hu Laodao. Moreover, Hu Laodao did say that it was a secret at that time. However, if he admits it, won't he sell Hu Laodao?

"What's the matter...... You can guess it. He prevaricated. "Besides, you ...... It's not good to be so mysterious all the time. Is it necessary to make it look like the KGB and the SS?"

"Nobody likes to be secretive and secretive. Lao Zhou looked at Wu Ge calmly and said, "Everyone wants to be fair and honest. However, as an organization shouldering the heavy responsibility of defending the homeland and the country, it must be organized and disciplined. Because what you are guarding is not your own personal interest. ”

"Ah...... Is that. Wu Ge said.

"It's not good for members of the organization to say things they shouldn't say in private. However," said Zhou with a smile, "This matter is not very secret, and it has indeed spread widely within the organization, so I might as well talk to you about it - it will also help you understand the current environment that the organization is facing." ”

"Oh. ”

Wu Ge breathed a sigh of relief.

"Organizations of ascetics, which exist in some of the major powers. Lao Zhou introduced. "But it's all in secret, or in the form of civil society. But it is impossible for a practitioner's abilities not to be used at the national level - especially in the military aspect. In order to harmonize their relations and avoid conflicts, the International Organization of Practitioners was established and met every two years. The organization can set some rules, but there is no reliable guarantee that they will be followed. You've been on a mission once, so you should know it firsthand, right?"

Wu Ge nodded.

"And what do you do in meetings?" he asked.

"It's nothing more than testing each other, finding out, and maybe even fighting. Lao Zhou sneered. "At present, cultivators have become an important part of the army's strength. The next war is likely to be a model in which the cultivators go first, and the traditional armed forces follow. ”

"Oh...... So what level are we at now?"

"It's not high...... That's what I want to talk to you about today. ”

Lao Zhou put down the cup and looked up at the ceiling, his eyes revealing deep melancholy. After a while, he continued:

"We started late, and because modern times are in the midst of a long period of division and chaos, we have a thin foundation. Our opponents are ahead of us in terms of scale, systematization and regularization of training, and the combination of practice and modern technology. Overall, we're on the defensive and the other side is on the offensive. In recent years, there has been an upward trend in the infiltration of hostile practitioners, and we have not been able to deal with them effectively. ”

"So, you should understand," he continued, after a pause, "how important you and your master are to us. ”
