Chapter 380: The World
The hundreds of passengers on Flight 311 came from more than 20 countries, and it is natural that the international attention is being struck, and there is a lot of true or false gossip around the crash, because of its abnormal signs before the crash, such as the rapid lifting during takeoff, the airport was warned by a mysterious person before the crash, and the forest at the crash site was on fire, etc., many people hope that the news conference will reveal the shocking truth.
The result disappointed the audience and reporters, the official announcement of the cause of the air crash was mediocre, and a photo and video of the wreckage of the air crash were also shown as evidence, and the experts pointed to the wreckage and explained it seriously, and the vast majority of people did not understand it anyway.
But it was just an appetizer, the reporters didn't come in vain, the audience didn't sit in front of the TV in vain, and the final feast exceeded everyone's expectations.
In addition to the day of the opening ceremony, the dean appeared in light makeup for the second time, and most of the reporters below didn't know her, and they were still wondering if this young white-collar worker in the workplace should be responsible for serving tea and water to the leader and guarding the printer in the office, why did he sit in the right position so loudly?
"Hello to the audience in front of the TV and all the journalists who have come from afar. The head of the house smiled, "Maybe you don't know me, let me introduce myself, I am the head of Red Leaf Academy, and I will delay you a little more time today, because there is a very important thing to tell you, you can choose the simultaneous interpretation that suits you, and those with hearing impairment can also choose sign language interpretation." ”
As she spoke, the waitress placed her badge on the table in front of her.
The reporters below were in an uproar, everyone knew the city's Red Leaf Academy, but the director of this academy had never appeared in public outside the school, this unprecedented first encounter, it must indicate that something big was about to happen, so they threw aside the air crash press release that had been drafted, stretched out their arms and held the recorder, for fear of missing a word from the head of the college.
In the world of the transcendental, they all follow press conferences in front of TV or online media.
The transcendent teachers and students in the Momiji Academy temporarily stopped the training at hand and took out their mobile phones to watch, and if it was an ordinary student in class, the teacher would use the projector in the classroom to broadcast it.
Ouyang Caiyue stood in front of the TV in the restaurant, staring intently at the screen.
In a small town at the foot of the Aare Mountains, several nuns who were waiting for the sisters to hear the follow-up news ran to the convenience store on the street, stopped in front of the convenience store TV, and prayed that nothing had happened to the sisters.
Far away in Northern Europe, Layla wears a tight-fitting training suit and streaks at the TV in her own stadium. After returning from the East, she forced herself to train like crazy, trying to squeeze all her potential, but to her surprise, the Transcendent Ninja app was no longer useful, and she originally wanted to hire a ninja to monitor the movements of the Momiji Academy for a long time.
In the Zen temple, which is located deep in the forest and overlooks Mt. Fuji, old Zen masters and young monks also gather in front of the television. Because of their ancestral real estate, the wealth of the Dongying monks is no less than that of their neighbors in the Shaolin Temple in the west, and it is not news to drive a Mercedes-Benz, and there is no shortage of modern digital equipment in the Zen Temple, but there is no Internet access. The little monks didn't know that behind the old Zen master there was also a stealthy transcendent ninja, who had lost contact with the sect master and came to ask the old Zen master to ask the Zen machine.
In the Arctic Circle, where even summer is still cold and windy, a burly woman with her feet crossed on a rough log table, she is nearly two meters tall, she is like a bear, carrying a bottle of vodka in her hand, and occasionally pouring a few sips into her mouth, but there is no sign of drunkenness at all.
She stared impatiently at the TV set full of snowflakes and could barely see the figure of the head of the academy, and shouted with a mouthful of alcohol: "Comrades, who is going to fix this damn TV? Where is the repairman last time? If he doesn't show up in front of me and fix the TV within five minutes, I'll screw his head off!"
Near the equator in Africa, in a sweltering and humid rainforest, in a shack made of thatch and branches, a group of women resembling primitive tribes sit around an old 24-inch CRT television, each of them unusually toned, like a flock of oily panthers, with feathers on their heads and bodies, and their faces painted in horrific oil, staring silently at the screen.
In the woods around the shack, javelin-like sticks are stuck in the trees, each with a skull at the tip, enough to warn anyone who approaches without permission.
One of the most feathered and respected women turned to another woman and said in the native language, "Great Priest, you went to study outside, what is this woman talking about?"
The High Priest was young, and the number of bars painted with oil paint on her cheeks was second only to that of the chief who had just spoken, and she translated the words of the head of the academy into the local language and relayed them to the people.
In a secret bar in a casino open only to the extraordinary, the bartender slapped the table and shouted, "Shut up! Are you here to exchange information, or are you here to fight? Shut up! If you want to fight, get out of here!"
She let out a roar of the Hedong lion, and the drinkers who were tense at the slightest disagreement just now had to sell her face and sit back in their seats in a reluctant.
The bartender wears a white shirt, black trousers, a black horse clip, a bow tie, and her hair is tied back in her head, she has a neutral beauty, and the bartending movements are very professional, and the wine glasses are all wiped spotlessly. Attracted by the news on the TV, she turned up the volume on the TV with the remote control, and glared at the drinkers again with warning, but in fact, she didn't need to warn, these idle transcendents who had come from all over the world to exchange information and trade goods had already closed their mouths tightly and stared at the TV screen in shock.
......
All corners of the earth, as long as there are places where the transcendents gather, whether they belong to a transcendent organization or not, are basically watching this unexpected press conference at this time.
Many of them guessed from the clues that this air crash was not so simple, because if it was announced that it was done by an extraordinary person, the whole world would be in turmoil, and this was the life of hundreds of social elites, and if ordinary people did not take targeted retaliatory actions, everyone would soon be in danger.
Fortunately, the truth of the plane crash was covered up, and their hearts had just been put down, but the dean who appeared later made them hang their hearts higher again. The news of the Captain's appearance spread rapidly in both worlds, especially in the world of the Transcendental, and many people wanted to see the face of one of the strongest people in the world, so as not to go up and challenge him if they ran into him outside.
"Don't get excited, what I'm going to say next has nothing to do with this air crash, the investigation and search and rescue work of the air crash has come to an end for the time being, and it's not under my control, I'm just borrowing this venue temporarily. ”
The more she said this, the more she whetted the appetite of the audience below, and the dripping water at the press conference was audible.
"As we all know, in addition to ordinary people, who account for more than 99% of the population, there are a few transcendent beings in the world. In the next is not talented, Xi is a member of the transcendental, and is misloved by his predecessors and colleagues, and is elected as the head of a school. ”
Everyone is not a fool, and the self-humility of the head of the academy is hopeless if anyone believes it.
"In his position, he must seek his government. As the head of the house, you not only have to manage the internal affairs of the house, but also often have to deal with the outside world, this is a world where everything is connected, and no one can live in a vacuum. ”
The dean said, nodding to the side, and the two staff members carried a large-format map of the world and placed it beside her.
"The so-called outside world includes not only important people from all walks of life in politics and business, but also other extraordinary organizations in the world. The philosophy of Momiji Academy has always remained the same, the transcendent is a whole, one is prosperous, one is lost, no matter which organization is affiliated with, or no organization, it should make efforts for the unity and common progress of all mankind, including ordinary people and transcendentals. ”
She rose from her seat and stepped over to the side of the world map, "As you can see, the world's major transcendent organizations have been marked on the map. I would like to emphasize that this is not all, there are also some small organizations or groups, because their actions are secretive and do not want to be known to the outside world, they are not marked on the map, but the scale is not equal to the strength, the university respects all organizations or groups with similar ideas, if there is any omission, please also ask Haihan. ”
The reporters were in an uproar again, if it weren't for the fact that there were security guards at the scene who saw that the situation was wrong and hurriedly maintained order, the reporters would have been eager to put their camera lenses in front of the map.
On this world map, several pale red circles are very eye-catching, covering the world's major cultural regions, from the North Pole in the north, to the equator in the south, to the Dongying Islands in the east, and to the border between Asia and Europe in the west.
What is surprising is that the vast regions of North and South America, the South Asian subcontinent and Oceania are not covered with red circles, and there are only a few small organizations in these regions, and the reason why there are no large organizations comparable to other organizations is nothing more than the sparse population, the chaotic situation, the liberal personality, and the weak cultural centripetal force.
These areas have also produced large organizations, but often continue to fall apart soon after, or are absorbed by other large organizations, a very important cornerstone of the survival of large organizations is that there must be strict discipline, whether the form of discipline is discipline, canons, forbearance, military law or divine will, the form is not important, the important thing is that there must be, and can be treated equally and strongly restrain every member of the transcendental, otherwise this organization will not last long.
And the people in these areas are often lazy, free-spirited, and willful, unwilling to be restrained, and fighting in the organization at every turn, it is better to break up in two. There are also those who aspire to join the organization, either go elsewhere to join other organizations, or form small groups of themselves with like-minded friends to maintain members through friendship, but attempts to form large organizations are doomed to failure.
Although there are several large organizations to choose from, people who do not believe in religion, witchcraft, do not want to be soldiers, and do not want to be ninjas have very limited choices, so Momiji Academy has accepted a lot of transcendent students from abroad, just because they do not have a large transcendent organization in their local area, and the choice of study destination is pitiful.
It sounds like Momiji Academy has made money, and other large organizations are stupid, but it's not, because Momiji Academy doesn't force students to contribute to the school, nor does it force students to stay in school after graduation, it comes and goes purely voluntarily, and the binding force of school discipline doesn't exist after graduation and leaves, and if you want to join other organizations or become an idle transcendent person after graduation, you can also listen to it, so it's just that Momiji Academy looks stupid, like it's been making wedding dresses for other organizations.
As for other organizations, although there are few people who come to join, they come one by one, and once they enter the Houmen, they are as deep as the sea, and it is not so easy to go out after entering......
Although there are no reddish circles in those empty areas, they are often scattered with sporadic golden five-stars, including the bartender's casino, these golden five-stars represent the gathering places frequented by idle and transcendent people, where they exchange news and act as a black market for trading goods and money, but these places are not lawless, and even the black market must be managed. Everyone has to follow the rules, or the black market will become a battleground, so the managers of these establishments must be able to keep the vast majority of troublemakers at bay, whether by fist or prestige.
The world map of the transcendent displayed by the head of the academy is not only unheard of by most ordinary people, but even many young generation transcendents who are not deeply involved in the world have seen it for the first time, and they exclaimed "The world is so big".
There are some transcendents who, though equally young, have more experience and experience than their peers, such as Aurora or Catherine, and Number 33.
Aurora already knew when she decided to study abroad, she wanted to stay away from the intriguing family, the farther away the better, she saw a similar world map at the time, and chose Momiji Academy without thinking, she just wanted to stay away from the family for a while, it doesn't mean that she won't go back in the future, and once she joins other organizations, I'm afraid she can't help herself.
Catherine often went out to hunt demons, and she traveled all over North and South America and Oceania, and more recently to South Asia, but this was the first time she had come to the East, because those places were three areas, blank zones of power, and there was no need for her to interfere here.
As an intelligence gatherer, No. 33 is basic knowledge for her.
Ouyang Caiyue also knew this, she also went to the bar of the casino not long ago, bought what should be bought, sold what should be sold, because of the harvest, and boldly invited everyone present to have a glass of beer - a glass of beer sounds very cheap, it seems that she is quite stingy, but the consumption in the casino bar is extremely high, because every glass of wine contains a black market management fee, and no glass of wine is drunk for nothing.
For Jiang Chanji and other newly admitted students, the world map displayed by the dean of the college is tantamount to opening the door to a new world.
