Chapter 114 New Situation
Zhou Cheng's words struck people's minds like a huge bell.
At this moment, people suddenly realized that it seemed... to be true.
People knew from the beginning that assassination was not the goal of the Ascending Sect, but only a means.
They are trying to use assassination to force their own side to surrender or prevent them from continuing the investigation.
They were so crazy about assassinating decision makers at first, but why did they stop later?
Isn’t it because we have seen the human world demonstrate unprecedented determination and will?
You can kill them if you want, but if you kill one decision-maker, a new one will immediately take his place, and the cycle will continue endlessly.
Unless you can kill everyone in the entire human world, it will be useless to kill as many decision makers as you want.
It is precisely because of this that the ascending faction stopped this behavior.
Now, Zhou Cheng plans to replicate the past action.
If you want to assassinate the search personnel, go ahead, we can't stop you anyway.
But no matter how many you kill, it's useless. When one person dies, there will be a new investigator to take over immediately.
We are not afraid of sacrifice or death at all. But it is precisely when we are not afraid of sacrifice that the Ascending Sect will stop the assassination.
The more you fear death, the more rampant the Ascensionists' assassinations will become.
After figuring out the logic behind this, people fell silent. A moment later, an arm was raised. Then, many more arms were raised.
The first decision maker stood up.
"In that case...let's follow this plan!"
Once the specific action plan is determined, the subsequent actions will be much faster.
Under the coordination of the World Government, the relevant network was quickly established. Customized terminal equipment for the intelligence-sharing network was also quickly delivered to every frontline worker thanks to the factory's overtime work.
From this moment on, the human world completely abandoned confidentiality measures.
No matter what kind of traitor it is or what kind of surveillance methods are beyond the current level of human technology, you can come if you want and listen and watch as you please.
Even if you know what we're going to do next, so what? It doesn't matter.
What we want is an open conspiracy, not a conspiracy.
On the first day the intelligence sharing network went online, hundreds of thousands of key information, inspirations, and ideas were uploaded as backup.
If the uploader does not sacrifice, then no one will pay attention to the ideas and inspirations they upload, because these ideas and inspirations will be promoted by the person concerned.
But once they sacrifice - no matter what the reason, the human world will not distinguish whether they died from assassination by the ascending faction. Anyway, as long as they sacrifice, the inspirations and ideas they uploaded will be immediately taken out and handed over to their teammates, who will continue to verify and advance them.
In this way, through institutional design, the situation of "the government dies with the leader" can be completely prevented.
On the first day the intelligence sharing network went online, Zhou Cheng received another report.
The report shows that on that day, a total of 6 front-line investigators were highly suspected of being assassinated by the Shengwei faction.
But the work they were promoting not only did not stop, but became even more powerful.
The reason is simple: why were they assassinated? It could only be because the work they were promoting was of great value.
Originally, people were unable to confirm this. But now, since the Ascending Sect assassinated them and personally "certified" them, this point was immediately confirmed.
In this case, what are we waiting for if we don’t push forward vigorously?
If I continue to push forward, will I die too? Will I also be assassinated by the ascenders?
What are you afraid of!
At this point, who still doesn’t understand this truth?
The more you fear death, the faster you die. The less you fear death, the more likely you are to avoid it.
This created a strange phenomenon.
Are you afraid of death? Yes. Do you want to die? No.
Since you are afraid of death and do not want to die, then you should vigorously promote the work of your predecessors who sacrificed themselves before you. Only in this way can you avoid the coming of death.
On the second day after the intelligence sharing network went online, the number of people who suffered assassinations reached a new high, with 19 front-line investigators killed in the line of duty.
On the third and fourth days, more than a dozen people fell down each day.
But on the fifth day, the situation suddenly changed.
On that day, no front-line investigators fell.
Day six, day seven...
The same is true.
People's anxious hearts finally settled down.
But on the eighth day, an unexpected situation occurred again.
The highest-ranking person in charge of the Shengwei faction's capture operation died.
The cause of death was still a suspected electric shock to the heart, resulting in instant death.
This phenomenon aroused Zhou Cheng's vigilance.
After the death of the predecessor, the successor takes office immediately and continues to move forward according to the previously planned route.
But soon, he too met his end. Furthermore, the scope of death was expanding. Besides the top frontline leaders, other high-ranking operations officials, such as those in charge of key cases or those in charge of specific areas, were assassinated one after another.
At most, three people died in one day.
The number may not seem large, but you have to know that those who have died at this stage are not the large number of front-line grassroots personnel, but the command level, which has a total number of no more than a hundred people!
Another emergency meeting was held under the chairmanship of the first decision maker.
“Recently, we have faced a new situation.
The assassination targets of the Ascending Faction have shifted from the middle and lower levels to the top levels at this moment.
The large number of deaths among front-line command personnel has seriously affected the progress of work.
Before, the intelligence sharing network was online, and we used a plan to "invalidate" the assassination of the Ascensionists, forcing the Ascensionists to stop their assassination of our grassroots personnel.
This plan has been proven to be effective.
But unfortunately, this plan cannot be effective for the front-line team command level.
The reason is simple: there are enough front-line staff and they can be replenished very easily.
However, the number of command-level personnel who have sufficient management and command capabilities and sufficient professional knowledge background is limited.
If we lose too much, we won't be able to replenish quickly. Therefore, we can't "invalidate" the assassinations of the ascending faction, and we can't force them to stop assassinating by not fearing sacrifice.
Now, including all the reserve command personnel, we have less than 500 people available.
If the situation continues to deteriorate, these 500 people will soon be lost. By then, we will have no command personnel left."
Every command-level staff member has been tested in multiple positions, has sufficient understanding of the overall situation, and has extremely high requirements for professional knowledge background.
This is different from the selection made by the original decision makers. They were unable to quickly select and supplement people from the grassroots level.
