Chapter 799: Take the willing ones in
When Chen Chuan asked this question, the masked men looked at each other, and another one walked forward.
The man looked quite old, and spoke in a slightly aged voice, "There are indeed ways to alter and reverse cognition. Some secret teachings involving high-level spiritual powers, as well as some secret rituals, can do this. It's not like no one has exploited this loophole in the past.
However, our ritual constraints were established during the Major League period, and after detailed filling and improvement, there are no longer many loopholes in many areas.
But we can't rule out extreme cases. If this happens in normal times, I'd actually be more happy to see it, because we can fill these gaps in time, rather than waiting until danger strikes and then rushing to find a solution."
Chen Chuan understood. This clearly stated that if you have a way to find a loophole, you can try it. They even encourage it. It is worth it to use the price of one person committing a crime to eliminate the malpractice that affects the majority of people.
He also sensed that these people seemed to be looking at things from a higher perspective. But he then raised another more pointed question:
"What if someone borrows the power of some opposing entity to curb the effects of the ritual?"
The masked old man said slowly, "It can indeed be done. To contain power, one needs to continuously invest it, not to mention transmitting it across the World Ring. If the other party is willing to do this, it will also achieve the goal of consuming them. This approach usually leaves traces, which makes it easier for us to find those who are colluding with them."
Chen Chuan heard him say the word "usually", which means that there may still be a way to bypass it, but this is actually normal. The existence of the opposite world has been fighting with the top leaders of their own side for so long, and some of them should have some understanding of them. It is not surprising that they can find some loopholes.
He didn't ask any further questions and said, "That's all I wanted to ask. Thank you for letting me know."
"You're welcome."
The masked old man seemed to be about to retreat, but after thinking for a moment, he said, "I know that you, Mr. Chen, are someone who understands secret rituals. So, let me tell you something that you may soon know."
Chen Chuan noticed that when he said this, the other people wearing masks all looked at him. It was obvious that what he was going to say was not simple.
The masked old man spoke slowly, "The entire agreement, from level seven to level one, is actually a worldwide national secret established during the Great Alliance era. Every time you advance a level and reduce some constraints, you will gain certain benefits.
These benefits involve your cultivation and higher levels. When a fighter reaches the first level, the gains they gain are immeasurable."
Chen Chuan's eyes flickered slightly, and his mind raced. He immediately saw the power of this agreement. If it could really bring corresponding benefits as the level of the agreement changed, or even involve higher-level profits, then he was sure that many ambitious fighters would rush in, willingly be bound by it, and even take the initiative to maintain this system.
It seems that the people who originally established this system were very far-sighted. They did not use forced constraints to bind people, which might cause problems over time. Instead, they gave certain benefits to make people voluntarily stay within this framework.
So why wasn't this made public from the beginning?
He thought about it and understood from the profit and loss of the secret instrument that perhaps maintaining this system would require additional expenditure, which would likely require a group of people who were unwilling to abide by the agreement.
Of course, this is just his self-understanding. This kind of ritual involving a higher level should have an extremely complex operating mechanism behind it.
He nodded to the old man and said "Thank you."
The masked old man nodded in response, then said nothing more and retreated back to his original corner.
Seeing that they had finished their discussion, Can Miao continued, "Mr. Chen, we have another question: What are your thoughts on your position? Do you need to be transferred out of Jibei Dao, or should you continue to stay here?"
As a Level 5 Agreement holder, the Supreme Security Advisory Group will consider your wishes based on the actual situation, and we will accurately convey your request."
Chen Chuan replied confidently: "I plan to stay in Jibei Road for now."
Can Miao gestured to his assistant to write it down, then he said, "Our mission ends here." He stood up from his seat and extended his hand to the person across from him, "Mr. Chen, thank you for your cooperation."
Chen Chuan also extended his hand, shook his, and said, "Can I leave now?"
"Yes."
Can Miao said, "Mr. Chen, please feel free to do as you please. Please remember our contact information, or you can contact me directly."
Chen Chuan nodded, greeted everyone present, picked up the form on the table, and walked out.
Canmiao watched him leave, sensing a significant difference between Chen Chuan and the others. It wasn't like they hadn't signed agreements with other fighters before, but honestly, it was rare for something as smooth as this one to go. Many fighters would have instantly changed their expressions upon seeing the constraints and requirements of the agreement.
This requires them to explain each point one by one or put the highest security advisory group behind them in order to move things forward normally. But even so, sometimes they will still get stuck in a deadlock and have to use higher-level force to force people to submit. However, that scene is too ugly and not conducive to future communication.
Of course, he also knew that some people did not really have any objections, but were taking this opportunity to show their toughness and that they were not easy to mess with, so that the board would be cautious when dealing with their problems in the future.
But Chen Chuan did not do so. However, he is not without temper, nor is he without ability. This can be seen from his previous record and performance in the central city. He was very calm throughout the whole process. It can only be said that the situation is different.
After Chen Chuan left the building, he got into the special car, raised his hand, and stared at the black spot on the tiger's mouth for a while. As the second self showed signs of becoming empty, the feeling of mental restraint weakened, and the mental mark on the tiger's mouth showed signs of fading slightly.
As he stopped the action, the feeling resurfaced and the black spot reappeared.
This proves that even a secret ceremony can be endured by the second me.
It’s just that I’m still relatively weak compared to him now, so I can’t replace much time, but he has no intention of violating these agreements for the time being.
What he wants to pursue is to be free in body and mind. He can endure necessary constraints before reaching the ultimate goal.
However, after returning, it seems necessary to increase the strength of my second self.
He said to the driver, "Drive."
The vehicle started, slowly drove out of the parking lot, and then left the Saw Corner Building.
The Municipal Council had been keeping an eye on the situation in the building. When they confirmed that the National Fighters Council had signed an agreement with Chen Chuan, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
In this way, as long as they don't take the initiative to target Chen Chuan, the other party will be restricted by the agreement and should not take direct action against them again.
But who would take the initiative to provoke a fighter if they knew the situation?
The immediate worries have been temporarily alleviated, but there are still some long-term concerns.
Recently, the laws that were previously promoted by the Government Affairs Department continued to advance. Due to the lack of high-end power, the Municipal Council had to choose to give in, allowing many laws that were beneficial to the government to be passed, which will restrain them at a fundamental level.
If they violate these regulations in the future, the Government Affairs Office can use force reasonably and legally, and it will be difficult for any external forces to find reasons and excuses to intervene.
Once Chen Chuan and Principal Yao obtain authorization from the government, they can take direct action against them, and the threat still exists.
Therefore, they still need to complete the cultivation of the active consciousness body as soon as possible. The active consciousness body embryo of the consortium is now on the way and should be delivered before the end of the year.
This embryo is a combination of many cutting-edge biotechnologies and has been pre-modulated. With sufficient resources, it will reach maturity in just one or two years. By then, they will have two active consciousnesses, and they can feel a little more at ease.
But this is not enough. They are not confident even with equal strength, so they must introduce more foreign aid. For this, they started another round of discussion.
Speaker Quan remained very calm. He knew there was no need to rush now. The most important thing next was the appointment of Chen Chuan.
If Chen Chuan was subsequently transferred, they wouldn't have to worry too much. But if he wasn't transferred, the fusionists would be the ones most wary.
At this moment, somewhere, in a dimly lit house, multiple images appeared on the screen in the middle.
Some of them are clips of the battle between Chen Chuan and Long Xiang, while some are the scene when the machine gun bullets were fired into Chen Chuan's field that day. There are also scenes of white smoke bursting out of Chen Chuan's body, and these are repeatedly shown from multiple angles.
Security guards were standing in the corners around the house, and a middle-aged strong man wearing sunglasses was sitting on the sofa watching the screen.
A slender figure stepped forward in high heels and said, "Boss, according to the faction's assessment, this person had a very solid foundation before breaking through the limit, which is why he was able to defeat Long Xiang head-on shortly after breaking through.
However, the two did not use weapons, and it was just a simple exchange. The battle, excluding the conversation between the two, actually lasted only one minute, so the assessment also mentioned that Long Xiang might have deliberately held back."
The middle-aged man then said, "You mean Long Xiang wants to keep this person? What good will it do for the Jingxiu Sect? I remember that the force that Director Chen was mainly targeting this time was the Gray Shell Agency they sent, right?"
The slender figure turned around. It was a woman wearing purple eyeshadow and with two implanted eyes on her forehead. She said, "Perhaps if we leave this person alone, they think they can cause us trouble?
The middle-aged man took off the sunglasses that covered his eyes. In his eye sockets, there was no eyeball, but a ball of black smoke floating outward.
"He did the right thing. We really can't just ignore it. If that person wasn't a purist, we could tolerate him for now, but if he is, then we can't let him stay there.
We have been operating in Jibei Province for thirty years and are one of the main locations selected by the faction for the implementation of the plan. We absolutely will not allow these additional interferences."
