Chapter 395: Flesh, Bitterness, Weakness (25) (1st update + 2nd update + 35/6w nutrient solution 3rd update) [VIP]
Not only the exploration team members who received the news were shocked, but also the investors on the barrage:
[Oh my god? Are there any of you who are investors in this world? ]
[Ah? What kind of scene is this, where someone eats a melon and then eats it? ]
[Is this still possible? So it is very likely that the space we are in has been explored by the Foundation?]
[The previous one, yes, it is called unknown space only because this space has not been fully recorded by the fund. Your world may have been entered many times in places you don’t know about. It’s just that these exploration locations may be in other regions, such as Europe or Africa, so they are not in this live broadcast room area, so you have never seen them and don’t know about them. ]
[For example, some famous haunted houses, famous horror legends, and popular metaphysical places on the Internet in your world may have Foundation exploration teams enter, but you don’t know who they are, and you don’t know whether they have contributed to the final resolution of these events.]
[Moreover, the Foundation launches at least hundreds of thousands or millions of live exploration projects every day. The probability of encountering your own world by chance in these projects is very low. Most of these projects are low-end and medium-end projects, and the scope of exploration is also very small, such as a building, a hospital, a village, etc. Even if you encounter it by chance, you may not recognize that it is actually your own world.]
[Yes... This guy can recognize it, probably because it's too young. ]
The world of [Blood, Flesh, Bitterness and Weakness] is not really that big, with only ten zones from zone 02 to zone 10. What happened in zone 08 was so big that it caused panic in the whole world. In this case, if an investor in this world happens to see this information, he can easily recognize that this team is in his own world.
It is rare to stumble upon a world of your own among the vast sea of foundation investment projects. It is also rare for exploration team members who enter your own world to be forced into a desperate situation and reach the end of their rope. It is even more difficult to find that among the team members who are forced into a desperate situation is an exploration team member whom you have invested in.
It took so many coincidences for such a person to appear. Not only the investors, but even the exploration team members on the screen were shocked for a while.
"This guy... can we trust his words?" Jia Li stuttered, "No, could it be that zone07 wants to wipe out your rebel organization, so they lied to us?"
"Impossible," Bai Jinshu took a few steps forward and took the message from Huai Jiamu, "If he wasn't an investor, he wouldn't have sent such a message."
He had come into contact with investors in real life. Under the restrictions of the foundation, only investors and exploration team members could discuss topics related to the foundation. If the foundation was mentioned to irrelevant people, nothing would be said.
The fact that this message was delivered to them and seen by them means that the person who sent the message and tried to communicate must also be someone related to the foundation.
Similarly, if we randomly call someone in and let him look at this information, then the information seen by this rebel organization member who has nothing to do with the Foundation will definitely be inconsistent with theirs.
"Is it possible that he is using this information to lure us?" After a brief shock, Zhang Lu immediately thought quickly, "This man is an investor who is a native of the unknown space. Why would he favor outsiders like us instead of his own world? We are now in a rebel organization, and our stance is opposite to that of these nine areas, including Zone 07. What good will it do for him to invite a group of rebel members into Zone 07 and get the truth?"
"We are not." Shi Liqun corrected.
"We are not members of the rebel organization," Wei Ye was the one who understood him this time. He couldn't help but speak, "We have only been here for less than ten hours. How can we be considered members? Even if we want to help this organization grow and eventually overthrow the rule of District 9, we can't do it."
After all, there are only less than seven days left before logging out of this world. Even if they want to join in and make some contributions, there is nothing they can do.
"So it's useless to catch us all in one fell swoop," Si Panxuan touched his chin, "We know nothing about this organization, it's better to catch the poet than to catch us."
When Huai Jiamu was named and said that it would be better to arrest him, he actually nodded in agreement: "Indeed."
"And from a certain perspective, arresting the poet seems to be useless," Ming Qingrong muttered, "Even if they don't arrest the poet, won't the poet be gone after seven days?"
Isn’t this also a member of the exploration team?
"I still think it's a bit risky to go to zone07 now. This is also the first time that an investor has directly contacted me in a project, so you are more inclined to go?" After everyone finished speaking, Zhang Lu frowned, a little hesitant.
"I'll go, you guys can do whatever you want." Before she could finish her words, Bai Jinshu made the decision, "I'll leave right away."
"No, ah——" Zhang Lu stared at Bai Jinshu turning around and leaving in amazement. He was speechless for a moment, and after a long pause he held his forehead and said, "I'm serious, can he listen to what we have to say..."
She had a deep impression of She Mochu because the two of them had once collaborated to explore a K-world. The two explorations took nearly half a month in total. This was the first time she had seen She Mochu so motivated.
To be honest, it's hard to adapt.
"So are you going?" Si Panxuan tilted his head.
"Let's go. What else can we do?" Zhang Lu sighed. "We can go anywhere in the last seven days anyway. It's better to go back to the city and investigate. Maybe we can find something new."
There is a poet here who has information about the rebel organization. He won’t run away. At worst, they can just study it together.
"Then let's go and prepare..." Wei Ye and Ming Qingrong also walked out.
In fact, for the exploration team members who have just arrived here, there is nothing to prepare now. The more troublesome thing is how to enter zone 07 by aircraft under such circumstances.
Regarding this difficulty, the investor who took the initiative to send the message said that he had a solution. His family had some assets in zone 07. As long as he was willing to spend money, it would be no problem to send a flying vehicle in.
The only question is what can they find out after entering Zone 07, and what information can they obtain that can aid in the exploration in a city that has been built in lies for hundreds of years?
"About this," Huai Jiamu thought for a moment and said, "We also have people in zone 07. We can ask them if they have found any problems in zone 07."
"Oh my god." Unfortunately, the few people who heard his words did not breathe a sigh of relief, but turned around and asked in shock, "Why are you here?"
The aircraft has already taken off, so why is the poet on it?
"Aren't we part of the exploration team?" The man was sitting by the window, holding something that looked like a tablet in his hand, and was processing something with his head down. "I will definitely go with you."
"Ah? But you left..." Jia Li was at a loss, "Then...what will happen to such a large rebel organization?"
Isn't their teammate the leader of the rebel organization? Is there no one to stop the leader from entering the dangerous situation? What if something goes wrong?
"Who do you think is in the organization?" The poet looked up at him at the window of the aircraft.
"Is it the warrior who rebelled against the Governor of District Nine?" Wei Ye thought for a moment and guessed.
Isn’t that what all cyberpunk worlds are like?
Then he saw the poet lower his eyes helplessly.
"Vagabonds are expelled criminals. Most of them have committed crimes that are punishable by death. Ten deaths would not be too much. However, compared to the actions of the nine governors and the Academy of Sciences, even criminals seem to be quite righteous," he pointed out calmly. "I am a poet not because they nominated me, but because they cannot beat me. Is there any problem?"
Wei Ye: “No…no more.”
"You guys are free? Then you can go and process the data," the poet looked up at them and pointed at the data that Bai Jinshu had brought aboard the aircraft in the distance. "We are now on the normal official route. We still have five hours of flight time. We still have time to sort out some information."
"No, no..." Wei Ye felt dizzy when he saw those things, "Let's take a break and prepare for the evening exploration."
The amount of information in front of She Mochu was enough to overwhelm him. Most of the information was junk information such as "it is said", "I heard" and "rumor says". There were also a lot of compiled and exaggerated content that carried distinct personal emotions. The records about the starry sky hundreds of years ago were the same over and over again.
Although the rebel organization has the name of a rebel, most people's initial hatred for the nine areas does not actually come from the concealment of those in power and the betrayal of the Academy of Sciences. They only knew these things after they became wanderers.
The rebel organization also has a certain level of skill in recruiting members. They will not recruit those who are really guilty of heinous crimes, but skillfully select some people who are already dissatisfied with the Governor of District 9 and have grudges against them. These people are already dissatisfied with the authorities and the Academy of Sciences, and are particularly easy to accept these truths.
So compared to normal, law-abiding citizens, the methods used by these rebel groups and wanderers are much more cruel.
For example, Zhen Xianhong, the one who drove the aircraft, was the one who sent them to zone 07 this time. Under their shocked gazes, the poet casually threw a piece of information to them, and the exploration team members were stunned to learn that this girl looked only twenty-three or twenty-four years old, but she was also a ruthless person.
When she was expelled from Zone 05, she was a gold medal aircraft pilot in Zone 05. When she had no other way to take revenge, she killed her enemy's family of 15 with her own methods. On the day she was expelled from Zone 05, she was secretly kidnapped by members of a rebel organization who had learned the news early and were hiding outside Zone 05, and brought here to fly an aircraft.
If you make her angry, she will really fly over in her flying vehicle.
Although the organization members have more or less spikes in every area, these members who cannot enter the settlement under normal circumstances and live in the base for a long time are all expelled wanderers.
There is no need to worry that they will become headless flies after the poet leaves.
But precisely because the composition of the members is mixed, apart from a small amount of information about the outside world, most of the content is invalid information. Only She Mochu will regard everything he has come into contact with so far as a life-saving straw, while other exploration team members get a headache when they see those things.
There was still some time before arriving at zone 07, so everyone went back to rest. Huai Jiamu finished dealing with the last matter from within the organization, looked at Bai Jinshu who was still trying to grasp some subtle key points from the content, and reached out and knocked on the table.
Bai Jinshu looked up from a pile of documents.
"Did you find anything?" Huai Jiamu asked him.
"There's not much useful information," Bai Jinshu rubbed his dry left eye. "There's no clue in the records about the starry sky to guess what the Morning Star is, nor can we find a pattern for the disappearance of stars in the sky. However, many people have mentioned one thing, which is that those disappearing stars gradually dimmed, and did not disappear suddenly."
"Drink some water," Huai Jiamu handed over a glass of water. He did not say that it was useless to look for information, but followed his thoughts and said, "So what do you think of this disaster?"
"My initial thought was that the changes in the celestial bodies might be related to an Old One sealed on Earth. The position of the stars is related to His awakening, and as long as He reaches the correct position, He will awaken. So after He awakened once, in order to prevent Him from awakening again, people couldn't solve the Old Ones so they simply solved the stars. As long as there are no stars in the sky, the stars will not reach the correct position." Bai Jinshu pushed away the information in front of him and cleared a small space.
"It just so happens that all nine regions have environmental systems to cover up the truth, so they have no idea what's happening outside of the region. The first disaster from the sky may have been the first time the stars reached the right position, and the second time, people who developed more advanced technology simply decided to blow up the stars. The global war is likely to be an attempt to use modern weapons to kill or delay the second awakening of this old god."
"Well, that's a very reasonable guess." Huai Jiamu nodded.
"But there is a problem," Bai Jinshu said as he drank some water and sorted out his thoughts. "I don't know much about weapons of this era, and I don't know if it has enough power to kill an Ancient. But one thing is for sure, if the disaster is that simple, there is no need to hide it from everyone."
Even in Shemochu's original space, there are more people who know that Cthulhu will awaken after the stars reach the correct position than those who actually become investigators. This news is not a secret, and many people who have a little understanding of the Cthulhu world know it.
If the starry sky turned into eternal night in order to prevent Cthulhu from waking up, then there was no need to hide it from the people. On the contrary, the news that "the Academy of Sciences has found a way to completely solve the time bomb sealed on the earth" could even give the people a shot of reassurance that "Michigan always has a way" when the news that Cthulhu creatures exist in the world has caused global anxiety.
This news is much more effective than the thief crying thief method of the academy constantly recruiting mixed-race students and then releasing them to blow themselves up and intimidate the public.
"And if that's the case, it can't explain the appearance of the hybrids," he added with a frown, "As far as I know, Cthulhu's awakening won't have such side effects, nor will it prevent everyone from entering the Dreamland."
"Well, what next?" Huai Jiamu continued to ask.
"Then there is the second question. If the sky turning into eternal night is not caused by human beings, then it can only be that something went wrong in the universe. Is there still aerospace engineering in this era?"
"No," Huai Jiamu answered very confidently, "Long after the people in the sky stabbed the people underground, they destroyed all the aviation and consciousness uploading related materials on the ground, and directly blocked the possibility of further research."
"The Academy of Sciences' data says that there are no celestial beings. They turned into cyber evil gods. Regardless of whether celestial beings exist or not, what is certain is that the destruction of aerospace-related projects is to prevent people from going to the universe," Bai Jinshu murmured in a low voice. "So from the perspective of confidentiality, it should not be Cthulhu's problem, but a problem in the universe. There must be something hidden behind the changes in the sky."
There are many creatures related to the universe, and he can't be sure if he can't see it with his own eyes.
After all, even if it is She Mochu's original comic, his comic author is not as talented as Jiang Lang to make the plot break out of the earth and into the universe.
——I definitely don’t mean to hint at a murderous tennis book.
The Academy's records are very vague and unclear about the period before and after the establishment of the nine regions, but now, combined with the information obtained from the rebel organization, it is very likely that something very critical happened during this period.
If this information cannot be found in the Academy of Sciences, can it be found in the records related to the rulers?
"There may be something in the universe. If the rulers have another version of history, it will be much easier to combine them." Bai Jinshu concluded.
Although they have obtained a lot of information now, most of it is fragmentary and irregular. Even the two things like "The Academy of Sciences is deliberately accepting mixed-race students and then sending them to die to scare the people" and "All the stars in the sky have disappeared, leaving only one dim star" can only be regarded as "facts" rather than "rules".
The rules are why the Academy of Sciences does this, why celestial bodies disappear, and what happens after they disappear. They are the fundamental reasons that have been running in this space for a long time and cause these phenomena to occur.
This is the embarrassment of their current team. Although they know a lot, they don’t know any rules. They can only provide ideas and investigation directions for subsequent investigations or subsequent teams.
The one that is most likely to be related to the "rules" - [There are no K-type creatures in this world except for mixed-race students] - doesn't even need to be tried. In a K-type worldview space, there are many places besides the Earth.
This rule cannot possibly be true, and it cannot explain whether there are any C-type creatures on Earth.
The aircraft was verified at the zone 07 external flight gate and successfully flew into the zone 07 docking station.
Zhang Lu and his team had already selected suitable miracles in the foundation's mall. After all, they were still wanted, and if they appeared in zone 07 without any cover, something would definitely happen.
As the leader of the rebel organization, Huai Jiamu was quite upright and even told Bai Jinshu that there was no need to hide it.
As soon as the aircraft flew into zone 07, everyone knew why, among all the deserters from the mobile team, only She Mochu did not need to hide.
The enrollment notice of the Science and Technology College is still hanging in the air. I just thought the slogan was funny a few days ago, but now when I see it again, it actually carries a strong sense of irony.
I don't know whether Zone 08 thought She Mochu had died in the accident, or they knew that She Mochu had learned the truth and defected, so they deliberately used this method to disgust him.
Everyone looked at She Mochu cautiously several times, but couldn't tell his mood from his face, so they could only look away and watch the aircraft land.
The person who came to pick them up was the investor's secretary, who told the public that they were in zone 09 when the disaster occurred, and now that the disaster in zone 08 is gradually ending, they naturally came back.
This investor, who had never met the other party, claimed that he had studied business warfare from Chao Yougan, who was an acquaintance of Skao, and Skao's friend was She Mochu. In short, with this complicated relationship, although this investor did not know that the three of them were the same person, he still accurately grasped the essence, that is, the three of them knew each other.
Although we don't know what his learning results are from Chao Yougan, it is obvious that he has learned the essence of Boss Chao.
——Spend money.
He spent a lot of money, which made everyone soft-hearted. He offered a price they couldn't refuse and directly released an alien aircraft into zone 07 when martial law was supposed to be in place.
It seems that no matter what era it is, money can make the world go round.
Bai Jinshu's face was not placed on the highest billboard here, but it was also extremely conspicuous. As soon as he got off the aircraft, countless people discovered that he was the student of the Science and Technology College on the billboard.
But compared to zone 08, I don’t know if it’s the atmosphere in zone 07, or the disaster in zone 08 has caused concern among all the people in zone 9, but people are not very enthusiastic when they see him, and most of them look away after a few glances.
Members of the rebel organization also mixed in with the crowd, and after delivering the message to Huai Jiamu, they disappeared quietly.
"We have found out the identity of the investor," Huai Jiamu handed the information he had just received to Bai Jinshu while sitting on the aircraft arranged by the other party, and whispered, "Take a look."
Bai Jinshu flipped through it.
The good news is that there is no problem with this person's identity for the time being. He is the heir of a new enterprise in zone07. He has two brothers. Originally, he was not very outstanding, but at the beginning of this year, he somehow opened up his Ren and Du meridians. This investor suddenly seemed to be instructed by a master. He fought several very beautiful battles in a row, which greatly increased the market share of his own company.
The first two brothers could not defeat him, and could only watch with resentment as he became the heir, gradually getting involved in various affairs within the company, and becoming the heir of the company.
Of course, there is also bad news, that is, his company is just a new enterprise, and it is not an old capital entrenched in this area. It is basically impossible to connect with the Governor of District 7 through him.
But now that I'm here, I have to give it a try.
So when the two sides met and greeted each other in a friendly manner, and the other party looked at She Mochu with great interest and actively asked if there was anything he could do to help, Bai Jinshu was not polite either: "Can you get in touch with the Governor of District 7?"
"Ah?" The other party was stunned for a moment, and the optimism on his face instantly faded. He pointed at himself and said, "Contact the Governor? Me?"
A few words were written on the screen:
【You go and kill Tang Seng and his disciples.jpg】
【You’re welcome, Lord.】
[It feels like asking a Yiwu small commodity factory manager whether he can contact the President of the United States.]
[It seems that when my buddy invited people to come, he didn't expect the Lord would make this request. ]
This investor really didn't expect this.
"This... isn't there an easier task?" He scratched his head. "I have a friend who enrolled in the Academy of Science and is now doing research in the Academy of Sciences. Lord, do you think this is okay? I'll call him out?"
He thought that this group of exploration team members were going to continue investigating the Academy of Sciences. Plus, he didn't believe that the Academy of Sciences would do so, so he sent a message to help them find out the truth. Why did they suddenly involve the Governor?
"Not necessary for now." Bai Jinshu refused.
Even if he wanted to continue investigating the academy, an ordinary researcher in the academy would not know anything, and their identities were sensitive. Zone 07 currently lacked the conditions to gain his trust and let him tell the truth he knew.
However, since they could sneak into zone 07, they may be able to sneak into zone 08 again. Now the people's trust in safety in zone 08 has dropped to the lowest level. Although no news can be transmitted, it is precisely the lack of news that proves that Bo Jun and his team have succeeded. There must be a lot of people here who doubt the rulers and the academy of sciences.
"Well, can I ask you something?" This guy didn't expect that within an hour of entering zone 07, She Mochu in front of him had already started planning to leave for zone 08. After struggling for a while, he asked, "Why do you want to get in touch with the governor?"
"We suspect that the information we got from Mi Da is wrong, and there is obviously a small group of people in Mi Da who know the truth," Zhang Lu came out to explain, "so we want to compare the information with the rulers to see if we can find any problems."
"You've seen it all, buddy," Wei Ye approached and said in a low voice, "The Academy deliberately sent people out to die in order to consolidate its position. The sky in each area is fake, and the real world is already in eternal night. We want to know what happened in the outside world when the nine areas were established."
"About the war, and the dark night in the sky and all that," he added.
"This..." The investor frowned, looked around, waved to everyone, and whispered, "You may not find any answers anywhere."
"Ah?" Zhang Lu opened his eyes slightly wider, "Why?"
"You may not be very clear about some... um... the not-so-glorious history of the nine regional governors? Or the past?" He thought for a moment, chose his words, and said as tactfully as possible, "Now most people know that the nine regional governors are heroes who ended the war and the ridiculous notices of the previous rulers, but in fact the Academy of Sciences and the governors have a deep connection not because they reached a cooperation for ruling, but because the original rulers went too far and cooperated with the heavenly beings. So at that time, the Academy of Sciences of the University of Michigan secretly supported the rebel organization. The governors of the nine regions were able to become governors because of the support of the Academy of Sciences."
"Why don't you just say it directly? Don't beat around the bush. We are not from your place anyway." Ming Qingrong was straightforward.
"Then let me be frank. The governors of the first nine regions were able to gain a foothold with the help of the Academy of Sciences," the investor whispered. "Before the war, the nine of them were members of a rebel organization. It was because of the support of the Academy of Sciences that they were able to successfully become the rulers in the later period."
"This is just a rumor," he emphasized, "but it is basically true. It's just that most people don't know about this. After all, history is written by the victors, so the news will always be blocked..."
"Then how did you know?" Zhang Lu asked curiously.
"The situation in zone 07 is rather special. Unlike other areas where power is concentrated in the governor, several families here were brought in by the original governor to win over supporters. As time goes by, the current governor can no longer control them, and these families have also started to think about it. They deliberately spread this news to try to shake his rule. The families are fighting fiercely, and the power in the hands of the governor has been reduced. This has led to zone 07 being the only area where money can do anything," the other party said while thanking his mentor. "If it weren't for Brother Chao, I really wouldn't be able to gain a foothold here. Thanks to my rich brother."
"So," Zhang Lu brought the topic back to the point, "what do you mean by saying that we can't find anything?"
"It means that this history is broken on both sides," the investor said sincerely, "The Academy of Sciences does not record this, and the nine governors will not record it either."
In the early stages of the establishment of the nine regions, they all relied on the Academy of Sciences to gain a foothold. How could they possibly go against the Academy of Sciences?
"So this line is also broken." Si Panxuan whispered.
Originally they thought there was nothing to check, but now that there was a period of time that the Academy of Sciences and the nine governors had deliberately not recorded, it was hard to doubt that there was no problem.
The governors of these nine regions happened to be a rebel organization from hundreds of years ago. Hundreds of years after they came to power, the dragon slayers turned into evil dragons, and a new rebel organization emerged in the world.
"Why do I feel like something is not right..." Zhang Lu murmured in a low voice.
This is too much of a coincidence, and the current rebel organization has just spread the truth in zone 08, firing the first shot to overthrow the rule of these governors.
If they had not come, and the world continued to develop, this rebel organization led by the poet would sooner or later spread the news around the world, and then overthrow their rule again and become the next ruler.
And in the process...
"There is also a mysterious force supporting us," Huai Jiamu suddenly interrupted, "The poet was able to destroy the aircraft of the governor's young son in Zone 10 as a wanderer because someone helped him and designed this accident so that they could successfully enter Zone 10."
"Someone is controlling the development of this world." On the screen, She Mochu suddenly looked up.
