Enforcer's Handbook

Chapter 843 "Past"

Lu Xiang once again looked at Qihe with admiration.

Before RT6 proposed using the "Sea of ​​Souls", Qi He had implemented this theory earlier and came here at the risk of never being able to return to the real world and being completely replaced by clones.

He also found the location of the "Sea of ​​Souls" program one step ahead of them.

This is enough to show that Qi He is a crazy gambler. The only thing that Lu Xiang doesn't understand is the other party's purpose of doing this.

And just now, Qi He explained the reason.

There are answers to many questions in the "Sea of ​​Souls".

This includes the program's record of the Dark Ages - a fair and objective record of the war that took place several years ago and swept the entire world from the perspective of artificial intelligence.

"It seems that you have found the answer."

Lu Xiang said.

Although it looked extremely indecent for Qi He to expose his breasts at the moment, it was not difficult to tell from the movement of the aperture hiding behind him that they had had quite an in-depth communication and had even established some kind of subtle connection.

Qi He said noncommittally, "You should have seen the chip I left for you."

“Those companies that were tagged?”

At first, Lu Xiang thought that the leaders of the highlighted companies in the chip were all controlled by the "Sea of ​​Souls" like Xingoshi, and their consciousnesses were backed up so that they could be cloned at any time if they suffered an accident. People can fill their gaps.

However, as the investigation deepened, RT6 claimed that the existence of "Sea of ​​Souls" was an abandoned plan. Its scope of activities was limited to the Fourth District, and the highlighted companies were located in various cities of the coalition government.

She had to overturn some of her previous guesses.

"They were all directly involved in that war and were closely associated with that era. In a sense, they defined the Dark Ages."

Human beings decide the name of every era.

"Darkness" and "light" have always been relative concepts. Although no one has ever called a period after the establishment of the coalition government a "light" era, there is no doubt that the coalition government was flourishing before the arrival of the dark era. The Golden Age, so that despite the wars of the Dark Ages, and the subsequent struggle between conservatives and reformers that almost stalled the development of the coalition government, they still occupy a dominant position in the world.

This is enough to prove how brilliant the civilization of the coalition government was before the war.

"What's most curious to me personally is who could have completely removed a piece of history from the world."

This is also what Qi He has always wondered about.

Current history identifies the shadows imprisoned in "prisons" as the culprits of the Dark Ages. Historians in the coalition government generally believe that the Dark Ages were brought about by terrorists who appeared out of nowhere. In order to deal with them, the coalition government paid an extremely heavy price.

Each of the six-star relievers who made outstanding contributions were forever buried in that era.

Qi He has always scorned this statement. He never believed that a few terrorists could bring havoc to the coalition government. He determined that there must be some more critical information that had been covered up.

Today's facts have proven his guess. The information he found from the "Sea of ​​Souls" recorded the true appearance of that war.

When the development of the coalition government reached its heyday, the contradiction between technology and faith finally reached an irreconcilable point, and the most serious and largest "business-religion war" since the existence of the coalition government broke out.

Qi He learned the name "Business-Religion War" from the history of the Lunar Eclipse Sect and the Third Neutral Kingdom.

The two processes are very similar, but they have completely opposite endings.

In the history of the Third Neutral Country, the corporatism represented by the Barossa Group failed, so the Eclipse Cult became the leader of the Third Neutral Country, and the only clerical country was born today.

The result of the Dark Ages war was that a church was completely eliminated from the history of the coalition government.

"I have investigated your experience at Daystar College. When you first entered school, you also hoped that you could become a psychic. Your research on psychic abilities was much more in-depth than the average person."

Lu Xiang didn't speak, and she looked back with doubts. She didn't know why the topic of the dark ages was brought up to her.

"Your mentor is Miles, who was once one of the famous scholars at the Psychic Research Institute."

Qi He continued, "He has put forward many theories about the study of psychic abilities, and from the perspective of a researcher, he proposed the method of 'stimulating treatment'. You should be familiar with this."

"Wisteria Academy is still taking this approach."

"Yes, Wisteria Academy."

Qi He nodded, "That's why I hope you, especially Mr. Song Lan, can go there. Maybe what happened there can remind him of something."

Lu Xiang's suspicion was proved.

The trip to Wisteria Academy was intentional by Qi He. He probably knew what would happen when Song Lan came there from the beginning.

Although once banned by the coalition government, "stimulant therapy" has never disappeared, it just continues to exist under another name.

And Qi He's goal was indeed achieved.

After the trip to Wisteria Academy, Song Lan mentioned the existence of the upper world to her for the first time.

According to Song Lan, it was the final destination of those with psychic abilities. The disappeared Wisteria dean spent his whole life just to witness the scenery of the higher world with his own eyes.

"I think maybe this matter is very important to you. I just discovered that both the stimulating treatment proposed by Professor Miles and the Wisteria School and Psychic Research Institute themselves are a lie. What they are doing, It's like... from a layman's perspective, trying to explain psychic abilities through generalization. That has never been the true way of spiritual practice for psychics. It's no wonder that psychics in the coalition government are getting weaker and weaker nowadays. .”

"What exactly did you find?"

"I found an 'Eclipse Cult' that once existed in the coalition government. I can only say this, because even in the 'Sea of ​​Souls' there is not much specific information about that church."

However, Qihe discovered from the remaining signs that it was an unprecedented church. Its huge scale and influence on the coalition government seriously threatened people's belief in technology.

"If you were born in that era, the way you wanted to become a psychic was not to learn some theoretical knowledge in school, but to join a church. They would teach you how to communicate with your subconscious, and eventually your spirit would communicate with the upper world. Connect and hear the whispers from the forerunners, and those whispers will guide you.”

Qi He paused, "I believe that with your hard work, you will become an amazing psychic."

This is a good thing for Lu Xiang, who wants to become a psychic.

But if you look at it from a historical perspective, this may not be the case.

Qi He deliberately concealed some of the facts he knew.

For example, after becoming a great psychic, Lu Xiang, who is the mainstay of the church, will have a high probability of directly participating in the war, and eventually, like the shadows, will have his name wiped out, and will be terrorized. The identity of the elements, as well as the names given to them by the coalition government for their abilities, became prisoners.

Lu Xiang immediately thought of the prisoners who escaped from the prison, "δ... Are all those shadows like this?"

"That's the most amazing part."

Qi He said, "They were never terrorists who 'appeared out of nowhere'. During that war, they were the backbone of the church and helped the church get rid of many enemies."

When he learned about these dusty histories from the "Sea of ​​Souls", he couldn't help but have a whim.

If the war at that time ended with the victory of the church, then those "nameless sinners" would most likely become today's six-star saviors.

"wrong."

Lu Xiang frowned and questioned. She discovered the most obvious flaw in Qi He's story, "It wasn't just the prosthetic implanters who defeated them. As far as I know, the current six-star rescuers of the coalition government are all psychics." , and directly participated in that war.”

"This is the best part of the story."

Of course Qihe knew this.

The "Emperor", the six-star savior recognized by the coalition government as the strongest, is a powerful psychic, and his fame comes from that war.

It is said that more than half of the prisoners in the prison were sent there by him personally.

But if this behavior is placed in the history of that time, what he did was undoubtedly the behavior of a traitor.

He betrayed the church and turned against his former companions.

"Judging from some of the history I found, the church once took the lead in that war and was even one step away from victory."

Believers in technology far underestimate the power of psychic abilities.

According to the information recorded in the "Sea of ​​Souls", in the early days of the war, the church's disruptive psychics almost controlled the entire council, and the counterintelligence department and MI7 were also infiltrated into a sieve. In the internal struggle with mankind, the war machines trusted by believers in technology have almost no effect.

If artificial intelligence had not established a line of defense to help them get through the most difficult period, I am afraid that this war would never have turned around.

And what the "Emperor" did was the epitome of the "turnaround" of that era.

"For unknown reasons, violent divisions arose within the church, and a civil war broke out when the psychics gained the upper hand."

"civil war?"

Lu Xiang was stunned.

This was history she had never been exposed to, completely different from anything she knew.

Nothing related to the Civil War is recorded in the history books, nor is there anything related to the church.

"This is all my personal understanding. It's like a jigsaw puzzle. Sometimes you have to put some seemingly unrelated pieces together to get a vague glimpse of our past."

Qi He couldn't remember how long this "jigsaw puzzle" lasted. It was only at this moment that the irrelevant fragments finally put together a relatively complete picture. "The civil war has brought about a turning point for believers in technology. The two sides united to end the war, and the church disappeared forever into the long river of history."

…

Although everything Qi He said sounded like fantasy, many of Lu Xiang's questions were explained in this "historical line".

This includes RT6's attitude towards "Emperor".

If everything Qi He just said is true, then RT6 did not randomly select one of the six-star rescuers. She was looking for the person who betrayed the church and helped them win the war. .

RT6 also revealed that their mother was severely damaged in the Dark Ages, and her connection with them was much weaker.

"Unfortunately, this is all I know. The records of the 'Sea of ​​Souls' are incomplete."

Qi He hoped that he could tell a complete history for Lu Xiang, but it was a pity that this "jigsaw puzzle" game was far from over. At best, he could only glimpse the remaining fragments of history, that era, and the civil war far away. It's much more complicated than they imagined.

This episode made Qi He ponder with horror, "The victorious party will make all the history related to the church disappear without a trace. This is beyond human power."

People who fought in that war are still alive.

The companies he marked in the chip were all steadfast believers in technology, and they fought against the church until the very end.

But neither they nor the six-star rescuers can remember the real history anymore.

And it’s not just the church that seems to have been erased from history.

After completing the first stage of the "jigsaw puzzle," he could only call those who had fought against the church "technology believers."

They should have established a complete organization with a specific name, but just like the destroyed church, those people are still alive and actively involved in various decisions of the coalition government, but the organization they established has disappeared So much so that he had to call them "technology believers".

After that, Qi He looked back at the ball of light still hiding behind him and smiled slightly, "Don't be afraid, their purpose here is not to destroy you, but to protect you."

The ball of light flashed several times, seemingly responding to Qihe in this unique way.

Lu Xiang didn't know what "Sea of ​​Souls" said to Qihe, but he shook his head and said, "No, no, it's hard for me to protect you now. It's almost time, I should go back." .”

The frequency of the light ball's flashing became higher, and the changes in brightness and darkness became more obvious.

Without words, Lu Xiang could sense that it seemed reluctant.

"You can trust them...another 'dark age' is coming."

Qi He stretched out his hand and touched the ball of light, "Before that, I need to make more preparations."

Small theater its two hundred and ten:

A certain day, a certain day, a certain year, a Friday, in the morning.

Lu Xiang and Song Lan returned to the garbage dump after a long absence. The first time they got off the floating car, Song Lan went to his favorite place - the common room.

There were many new faces in the common room today.

You see them in the Coalition's intelligence manual, and any one of them would be enough to alert the Council.

The atmosphere in the lounge was a bit awkward because it was also their first time meeting Song Lan.

Lu Xiang went to Madele's office first, where she still had to finalize many details.

After a while, Medel mentioned these tribal leaders newly appointed by the swarm. Under the influence of Devourer, they all became Song Lan's admirers and had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.

"Song Lan doesn't like too warm a welcome."

Lu Xiang frowned slightly.

Half an hour had passed before she knew it, and she couldn't help but worry that the atmosphere in the common room was too awkward and would make Song Lan feel uncomfortable.

So she quickly ended her conversation with Madele, and the two of them left the office one after another and walked towards the common room.

The first time they arrived at the lounge, the two of them froze on the spot.

The atmosphere inside was much more harmonious than they imagined.

Under Song Lan's guidance, everyone lay on the sofa in almost the same posture.

The holographic projection is playing a recently released movie.

If you are not careful, the virus of laziness will spread quietly.
