Chapter 4
The construction site of the spire conference is located above Country O and will only be activated during the conference. According to common sense, Shen Jian set out a day in advance to arrive just before the meeting begins.
But the quantum teleportation technology mastered by Wuyan Tower is enough to cross this distance in an instant, although for Chen Jian, this journey has some minor sequelae.
He felt dizzy from quantum teleportation, so dizzy that he wanted to vomit out all the information he had stayed up all night to read.
Those documents that overturned Shen Jian's cognition collided everywhere in his muddled mind, making his face, which had carefully concealed his fatigue, turn pale again.
Forget it, not everyone knows that they are dizzy with quantum teleportation.
Shen Jian comforted himself, suppressed his emotions, and tried to clear his mind while sitting in the main seat of this meeting.
Then he saw that the state officials were also sitting below the main seat.
Shen Jian: ...Ah?
Is Wu Yan Tower so powerful? Will he be exposed? If even the authorities have to back off, when will he be able to defeat Wu Yan Tower?
Shen Jian's heart was beating fast, and the nervous twitching tightened his internal organs.
Hundreds of eyes were staring at him. Silence spread across the empty open-air square. Hundreds of people were sitting around a huge round table. Dozens of rows of chairs were placed behind each of the four sides of the table, almost all of which were occupied by the entourage.
Six direct cadres of the Shen family and more than a dozen senior cadres also sat behind Shen Jian.
The crowd that was supposed to be noisy was as silent as a cemetery. They seemed to be really waiting for Shen Jian to speak.
Shen Jian was in a mask of inner pain.
There are wolves in front and tigers behind. He was desperate, but he had to speak.
"Good evening, everyone," Shen Jian said softly, forcing a smile on his lips.
"Perhaps we should skip the opening remarks," he turned his gaze to a man on the right, "There is one thing I think you should all be very interested in."
The man was wearing a black Tang suit embroidered with golden patterns, with a silver-white red-eyed snake wrapped around his upper body, hissing and sticking out its tongue. His long black hair was winding on the snake's back.
“…Long time no see.” The man seemed to have expected this, his voice was gentle, like the gurgling of water, his red eyes similar to those of the silver snake were smiling, and he seemed very happy to see Shen Jian.
Shen Jian didn't say anything, he just stopped and looked at the snake for a while before shifting his gaze to the man's face.
Wearing a long brocade Tang suit, black hair and red eyes, and carrying a pet with him, these are the striking features of the leaders of the Middle Ages recorded in the Wuyan Tower.
But the records did not tell him that the pet was a snake.
A snake that looks like it can bite people!
Shen Jian was scared, but he had to cheer up and solve the mess this man left for him.
According to the information, the original owner was vindictive, protective and arrogant. He was even too lazy to remember the names of people other than his subordinates.
Now, Shen Xiuzhu is still dealing with the clone at the headquarters. He can't avoid this issue in the meeting and destroy the original character.
"Middle Ages, long time no see." Shen Jian crossed his hands on his legs, his expression cold, ignoring Jean's smiling face, "But... it's not that long."
Shen Jian's voice was very light, with a hint of sarcasm, and the ending tone was meaningful.
The black-haired man paused stroking the snake.
Not a long time? Does that include the clone?
Just in case, the clone simulating Shen Xiuzhu did not have the function of sending back information, and would only connect with him after completely replacing the original owner. Therefore, he lost his sense of the situation over there after placing the clone.
The identity of the clone was exposed?
The man let go of the silver snake thoughtfully, lifted his chin, and asked tentatively: “Mr. Shen, the last time we met was half a year ago, right?”
"Of course." Shen Jian said calmly.
The man's brows relaxed.
Since Shen Jian publicly admitted that he had only met him once in half a year, he must have tacitly acknowledged that the so-called "meeting" did not count as the spy, and this matter would never be exposed in public.
So it was just a warning to him?
The man put on a smile, his expression full of apology, and opened his mouth to speak.
"However, I saw Mr. Mo Yi in an imaging test."
Mo Yi's smile suddenly froze for a second.
The leader of the Wuyan Tower in the main seat had a smile in his eyes, his voice was still as calm as ever, and he raised his hand to throw out a landmine: "It seems that you hacked into the national gene database a few days ago?"
This news was like thunder. The officials didn't care whether it was true or not and stood up instantly.
Even judging from the seating arrangement, the government and the major organizations have a check and balance relationship, but in reality, the government is still the only power organization in the eyes of ordinary people, and its actual control range is very wide.
The genetic database records the genetic data of all civilians since recorded history and is two of the most heavily officially guarded places, the other one being the Capitol.
Being able to hack into the genetic database means being able to hack into the Capitol, which means being able to be on an equal footing with the officialdom - just like the Tower of Invisibility now.
"Mr. Shen."
The official sitting near the front whispered, "Do you have complete video surveillance?"
"The video surveillance grafted into the database is monitored 24 hours a day, and we didn't find anything..."
Mo Yi put on his smile again, lowered his head and teased the hissing little snake, without a trace of panic.
Shen Jian interrupted the man in an unusually rude manner: “Because the shielding device was developed in the Middle Ages.”
The silent place suddenly made some noises, and many people's minds were in turmoil.
The Annihilation Tower's video surveillance has always maintained an absolutely neutral stance, just like the sale of quantum weapons, and is provided equally to every group or organization.
All along, no one has been able to surpass the two achievements of the Wuyan Tower, which has established the Wuyan Tower's unshakable position.
But if [Middle Ages] develops an image jammer... then at least the upper echelons of the organization will be reshuffled. Of course, the Annihilation Tower still has the chips of quantum weapons, and its position is still unshakable, but [Middle Ages] may also be able to cut a piece of the most delicious cake...
Perhaps Wu Yanta announced the news to reaffirm that his position is unshakable.
The leaders exchanged glances, suppressed their desire to check the truth, and waited for Wu Yanta's explanation.
Shen Jian looked at the bustling crowd with a smile, and clapped his hands gently to signal silence: "I hope you still have the ability to think for yourselves, ladies and gentlemen. I just said that we saw Mr. Mo Yi."
"This means that we have cracked the jammer."
The scene fell into silence, and the person who had just shown an obvious attitude immediately regretted it.
Shen Jian turned his head to look at Mo Yi: "Do you have anything to say?"
Mo Yi finally handed the little snake to the subordinates behind him, stood up, and sighed: “Mr. Shen, can I finally say a few words to defend myself?”
“I really haven’t been to the database, sir.” He looked at Shen Jian sincerely, “I’ve been a guest at the Yuzhu headquarters these days, and their video surveillance may have records.”
He thought for a moment, raised an eyebrow and added: "Assuming it's too late to be deleted now."
[Jade Bracelet], an organization that sells gemstone luxury goods, has used its financial resources to gain the right to stay in the air and a seat at the Spire Conference, and has established good relations with the Wuyan Tower.
Mo Yi's words just now were mocking the possibility that [Jade Bracelet] might serve as false witness for Wu Yan Tower.
Shen Jian blinked and looked at the leader of [Jade Bracelet], who was a woman wearing a mauve cheongsam.
The woman lowered her eyes and nodded very slightly, moving her fingers on the table.
Shen Jian: …She really intends to make false evidence.
Shen Jian had to speak up and signal her to speak directly: “Perhaps except Mr. Mo Yi, no one can change the structure of the video surveillance under the eyes of the Wuyan Tower?”
The woman was startled, and paused for two seconds to confirm before speaking: "...Indeed, the leader of the Middle Ages has been negotiating business with the jade bracelet a few days ago."
Mo Yi looked at Shen Jian: “Of course, this requires an explanation for you, after all, my figure appeared in the image.”
Mo Yi turned to look at the leaders of the various organizations, wearing the same smile as before, "In the Middle Ages, no equipment was developed to block video surveillance, but... equipment to replace images was developed."
"And everyone has seen it - the video surveillance of the Wuyan Tower was also deceived."
So this image was deliberately released by [Middle Ages] for [Tower of Invisibility] to discover?
The purpose is to use the [Invisibility Tower] as a springboard to release his own skills and slap Shen Jian in the face.
The scene was silent.
Of course, they knew that with this technology, the video surveillance of the Wuyan Tower would be completely destroyed, and the future video surveillance market would be monopolized by the Middle Ages.
But...is it really okay to provoke the [Wu Yan Tower] like this?
"If the Middle Ages really have mastered this technology, all organizations in the Eastern Theater are willing to cooperate with them. Of course, our friendship with the Immortal Tower will never be erased, and we are still willing to maintain the Immortal Tower's first voice in the Spire Conference."
"Same as the Western Theater Command."
"The Southern Theater is following."
The official paused, put down his hand that had been pressing the headset, and said, "Official... follow."
Mo Yi's smile finally became real, and he looked at Shen Jian who was motionless in the main seat.
He knew very well that [Middle Ages] was about to join the ranks of the world's super organizations, and he was about to bite off a piece of meat from Shen Jian.
That’s it. As long as you have a unique technology and a decent military force, everyone will “protect” you.
If Shen Jian were to say "deny" now, he would go against the entire Spire Conference.
The silver snake slowly wrapped around Mo Yi's left arm. He stroked it with a smile. The cool touch made his mind clear.
He knew that Wu Yanta's position was always neutral and must be neutral. He knew that Wu Yanta would have to bear this loss with a pinch of the nose - even if Wu Yanta realized that the clone was a "deliberate" smokescreen and brought up video surveillance at the meeting.
He even knew that the Annihilation Tower would sell quantum weapons to the Medieval Times in the future, and it would sell as many weapons to the Medieval Times as it did to other organizations. The Spire Conference was a gathering of all the top organizations in the world, but it was also a powder keg on the verge of exploding.
As the unspoken "godfather", the leader of Wuyan Tower maintains the shaky peace and stability of these 325 organizations.
Mo Yi scoffed at Shen Jian's behavior all along.
And Shen Jian remained silent.
His entourage was silent, as were the representatives of his affiliated organization and the Northern Theater Command.
The black fog of the night buried his look, and they couldn’t see the expression on Shen Jian’s face.
"Of course, guys."
Shen Jian said softly in the night, "I have no objection. Everyone is doing this for the benefit of the organization."
"It's just that we just said that we cracked the medieval instrument."
"What we're cracking is a medieval replacement instrument."
