Steel steam and flame

"Miss Ruoli Suman, you just want to say these few words. I think you should know my character in your heart." Hongmang's reply was ruthless, "There is no direct evidence or more indirect evidence. , for you who know the core of the organization, you should understand how long this research lasted and how dangerous it was, right?"

"But compared to what is currently happening in the empire, between the two, I still think the danger on the organization's side is much smaller. It has been a long time since the establishment of the organization. It can still attract the attention of others at first. , but the current situation of the organization, I think it can only be regarded as a potential threat, a small free-range executive agency on the side of various forces. This is the best state for the organization, and I will not risk breaking it. "

"Miss Emilia, do you really think like this? I think if I give the organization another two hundred years, it will be impossible to make a breakthrough in research. The organization's final achievement will only be to find a way to purify the ultimate metal, and Let the concentration reach an appreciable value. In addition, you will not have thought about these." After putting away her smile, Li Suman realized that the other party was a person similar to Macquarie, and she was also a woman, so she became serious stand up.

"That means the organization can only go so far." Hongmang seemed to have seen through this matter, "For a thousand years, only the Empire on the Hou Xiang Continent has that kind of technology. It is as powerful as the other two giant countries. They did not come up with corresponding things for a long time. They may have been restricted by countries on other continents, but they still did not try their best to make other attempts for such a long time, which is enough to show the results they have paid and obtained in secret research. It’s completely unequal.”

"Miss Lissoman, you just said something very correct - as long as there is a goal, or some people can see the hope of achieving the goal, that will be enough. The actual situation is completely in accordance with it, and the organization can be established. It was because one person gave a goal and brought a little hope of success. So the latecomers reached out one after another and expressed their willingness to participate and jointly cultivate this goal. Two hundred years is not a short time. The group of people who established the organization Long after they died, their successors still remembered the goal, but later on, those who continued to participate invested a lot of resources, which allowed them to see benefits beyond the goal."

"The latter generation thinks that they are far more enlightened than the first generation of founders. They know that the goal is impossible to achieve, so they have other ideas. As for now, the top management of the organization has changed for several generations, and hope has long been fully realized in the change. It has become silent, and the goal has become a slogan. It will only be used as a banner to call for help, and will no longer point out the way for the people in the organization. Do you think that the current organization, in addition to the shell, is still an organization, and how many people on the inside are sincerely moving towards it? The target is moving forward?”

Li Suman was silent. She didn't know Hongmang's intention for talking about this for a while.

"That's a lot, Miss Lisuman." Hongmang continued her words calmly, "The organization currently has no power. I believe your words. You know where to look for the important things missing in organizational research. You know The clues to these things are to know who is actually in the hands of these items. However, these are no longer important to the current organization. Even if you are holding those things now, you will appear in front of me the next moment and say, "Take it." Go ahead, I know you are short of these things'. Even so, there is still very little that can be changed."

"Perhaps if I give you something and you hand it over to the organization, they won't use it for research to achieve their goals, but will divide it up and use it as a bargaining chip in their own hands for trading? I should understand what you mean." Li Suman was just short of an "Oh" sound of realization, "I remember that a person named 'Green or something' died not long ago, right?"

"It's called Lushu, the person responsible for purchasing various materials." Hongmang answered, "This goal was achieved through Miss Li Suman's network."

“The green trees are dead, but it’s still not enough?”

"When a Holy Father dies in the Holy Emperor's Hall, is it a good thing or a bad thing for the Holy Emperor's Hall? In other words, does it have any impact on the Holy Emperor's Hall?" Hongmang asked in return.

"No, there are still many Holy Fathers. This will be a good thing, not only for the other Holy Fathers, but also for us." Li Suman, who answered seriously, understood Hong Mang's words, "Since it's not enough, wouldn't it be nice to have more. One green tree is not enough. Adding other people to a numerical value can solve these problems. So you should get involved. Several important things needed for research, the clues in my hand, and the specific people who have been locked, Finding the reason will not be too simple. You also want to find an opportunity to clean up the inside of the organization, right? Since the top management of the organization all have high-level surgeons, it is indeed difficult to deal with them who are bent on escaping..."

"...But now, and in the future, it will not be difficult for just a few senior leaders of the organization. I have a good plan here." At this point, Li Suman could hardly suppress the laughter that escaped her throat. , but the moment the voice came out of her throat, she swallowed it back forcefully, "Continue to follow up on our cooperation, study materials, clean up the organization internally, and everything will be resolved."

"The risk is too great. Even if one step is not controlled and goes out of control, you will fail and face greater danger." Hongmang replied in a cold voice, "Miss Lisuman, maybe we can continue to follow up on the cooperation. , this is the plan between us, and there is still room for change at this moment, even if the core figure is a dangerous whirlpool. But since we have given up hope in the research of the organization, we will not take risks. What you have in your hands is just a clue, or rather It's just a guess, but it's not necessarily true. Neither the current organization, nor me, nor you, Miss Lissuman, can bear this result."

"Maybe if you wait, what you see will be different." After speaking, Li Suman breathed out, "For support from the empire, if you can, please remember to contact me."

"I will consider it and try my best to find a solution." After Hongmang finished speaking, the contact was cut off.

Turning off the communicator, Hongmang exhaled and looked again at the map filled with marks on the table in front of him. It is a simple map that covers all small countries and a part of the territory inward from the empire's borders. A red line traverses the small countries, becomes a dotted line after entering the imperial border, and finally ends at Manoma. There are many marked points on this route, and each marked point has detailed records.

"You women are really scary." Just as he was about to continue his analysis, Kingsley's words came out.

"If you think Li Suman is someone who knows nothing and doesn't think about anything carefully, you will pay a huge price later." Hongmang replied coldly, expressing his dissatisfaction with Kingsley for interrupting his analysis. .

"Listening to the conversation between you, she will probably find evidence later to prove that the boy does have research materials on him, right? From this point of view, you win."

"No, I lost." Hongmang retorted immediately, "Lisuman will indeed look for evidence to prove the great value of Soriatu, that is, Cassia. But from what she said, she knew the clues to the research materials. The moment I lose, I lose. Even if there is only a small chance, I will try. Regardless of whether Li Suman goes to look for evidence or not, the investigation on this matter begins from this moment."

"And why do you think Li Suman told me this?" Hongmang smiled, while Kingsley smacked his lips and remained silent.

"Because from the very beginning, both me and Lisuman, when we started working together, really believed that Soriatu was Soriatu and Kasia was Kasia, and there was no connection between the two. But now , although Lisuman and I are still not 100% sure whether Soriatu and Cassia overlap, the implications of this matter are too great. As long as there is this possibility, we have to find a way to escape in advance. .”

"This is also the reason why Li Suman contacted me. She is more scared than me."
