Sikong You picked up the two rings and looked at them carefully. Then he took a breath: "Where did you get these things?"
Ling Cang told the story of what happened. Sikong You stood up and paced back and forth in the yard: "I didn't expect that the Illuminati would actually target the Hong Ming Gang..."
"Illuminati." Ling Cang suddenly stood up: "You mean... Binglong and his group are from the Illuminati."
"That's right. Official members of the Illuminati all have such a ring to identify their identity. Most of them can be found through various channels. Except for their internal staff, there are very few people in the Illuminati. I know it. And among the people who know this pattern, at least half don’t understand the meaning. Therefore, it is difficult for members of the Illuminati to pretend to be..."
"It seems you know." Ling Cang smiled slightly: "You are indeed my father's think tank."
"Of course I know..." Si Kongyou sat back, picked up a ring, pointed to the main pattern on it and explained it to Ling Cang in detail: "Did you see this ruler? It has two meanings. One is to do things. It must be precise. Second, the plan must be long-term and take the overall situation into consideration. They use this to warn members that they should not just focus on one end of things and ignore the other end. Besides, this book also has two morals. One is the Bible. This It is their classic. The second is a book in a general sense, representing knowledge. They use this to warn members. Knowledge is the source of all power and wealth. As for the sun, needless to say, it symbolizes the Illuminati itself."
"From the overall layout of the pattern, the ruler and the book seem to be independent of the sun. In fact, they also mark the characteristics of the Illuminati. These three things form a whole. It seems to coincide with the 'Trinity'. This is the most basic thing in the Catholic faith. The same thing."
"That's right." Sikong You nodded slightly: "You are very smart."
Ling Cang pointed to the "C" in the middle of the sun and asked: "But what does this English letter mean?"
"This is not English. It is Latin. Take the first letter of Christos."
"Christos... means Christ, the savior."
"Yes. Put the letters in the sun. It means that the light of God illuminates the world." Sikong You turned the ring over. Pointing to the pattern on the ring, he said: "This symbol is used to mark the level of the owner of the ring. It seems that these two people The level is not low. They are elders. Generally speaking, only members above the level of elders will often wear rings. Members below will sometimes wear them and sometimes not."
"Elder..." Ling Cang thought back. The killer was strong enough and qualified to sit in this position. But the ice dragon's power was just average. I'm afraid he could just be an ordinary preacher.
Sikong You saw Ling Cang's doubts and explained: "The Illuminati is different from the Ju Shui Society. The level is not directly linked to strength. It has enough resourcefulness, or is responsible for a very important job. Or even just relies on qualifications. It is possible to become a high-level member. The highest-ranking cardinal is a cardinal. He is directly responsible for the Knights of the Apocalypse and is responsible for the overall operation of the Illuminati. I heard that there is a cardinal who has no power and relies entirely on his excellence. Only with his strategic ability can he take office."
"So that's it." Thinking of Sikong You's words just now, Ling Cang had another question: "Why don't low-level members wear rings?"
"Because each batch of low-level members is in its own circle. It is directly responsible for a high-level member and is responsible for a specific job. They have few opportunities to come into contact with other low-level members, and even fewer opportunities to come into contact with high-level members. So they know each other. High-level members are different. They may be transferred to other places. They may also need to patrol around and need to identify themselves."
"So that's it." Ling Cang looked at the two rings and suddenly laughed: "I didn't expect that my first contact with the Illuminati would be through such an incident."
"They are your destiny. You can't avoid it. This time you took action and ruined a plan of the Illuminati. You have completely turned against them." Si Kongyou put down the ring. After a moment of silence, he said: "Actually, carefully. Come to think of it, it's no wonder they would help Hong Ming."
"Why."
"Any organization, business or family that has sufficient strength will start to control it. I believe you know the status of the Hongming Gang in Minghai. The characteristic of the Illuminati is that they only ask about the results and not the process. They also He once sent women to rape others, and finally achieved his goal. So what Binglong did is not surprising." After a pause, Sikong You told another example: "I heard that there is a very rich and famous family in France. They worked hard for decades and finally controlled it through marriage. As a result, this family became one of the largest sources of funding for the Illuminati..."
Recalling that Binglong could use several years to gradually climb from the bottom to the boss's position, it shows that the Illuminati has an amazing ability to hide. But Ling Cang still can't figure out why Binglong has nothing to do with the Hongming Gang. He hated himself so much that he gritted his teeth. Then another elder came to plot against him.
This question was also answered by Sikong: "I guess the reason is very simple. Just like what Binglong said when he was arguing with his subordinate. They originally planned to seize the Hong Ming Gang through more direct methods. Later, Binglong might be He fell in love with Hong Xue, so he changed his plan. He probably saw that Hong Xue had some interest in you. He felt that you might become a stumbling block, so he planned to get rid of you and then quickly. When he found that he had no chance in front of Hong Xue. Then he implemented his previous plan and kidnapped Hong Yi."
"I see."
"This boy is a bit overestimating his abilities..." Sikong You took a look at Ling Cang and suddenly smiled: "It's your boy who is very handsome."
"Let's get down to business now." Ling Cang said seriously, "I'm not in the mood to fight with you."
"The Illuminati is really secretive in their actions..." Si Kongyou immediately straightened his face and returned to business: "In the past, everyone thought that they had only one deacon in Minghai who led not many people. I really didn't expect it. They even secretly sent two elders to undercover the Hong Ming Gang. It seems that they have some hidden plots in the country, but they have not been exposed at the moment."
"Hong Ming helped make this secret move. What do you think they will do next?"
"They have been generalized. They will not continue. According to their style of doing things, if a plan fails, they will usually give up completely without trying to correct it. If they make a new plan for the Hong Ming Gang, it will also need a process."
"So, you don't have to worry about the Hong Ming Gang."
"There's no need to worry now. It's hard to say in the future." Sikong You looked at Ling Cang and said slowly, "You should worry about yourself more now."
Ling Cang responded expressionlessly: "Oh."
"Are you quite calm?"
"I don't think they will come to our door for a while." Ling Cang paused and said, "What I need to pay more attention to now is my trip to the capital in the near future."
"I can only wish you good luck." Sikong You smiled meaningfully: "Ling Cang, if you can deal with Long Jianyue, it means that you have surpassed your father in at least one thing."
"real."
"That's right." Sikong You nodded with certainty: "Actually, your father likes Long Jianyue very much. But it's not the kind of love between men and women. Instead, he treats her as his own sister. Therefore, your father has always been reluctant. I completely broke up with Long Jianyue. I always wanted to restore the relationship between the two parties. Unfortunately, Long Jianyue didn't buy it at all. After your parents got married, it only got worse."
"Yeah."
"In other words, this feud has given your father a headache. Now it depends on how you behave." Sighing, Sikong You said thoughtfully: "It is better to resolve enemies than to end them. It is easy to offend someone. It’s very difficult to make someone an ally. It’s even harder to make someone who hates you to the core love you in return.”
What Sikong You said later was referring to general phenomena. However, Ling Cang heard the ambiguity: "I will make Long Jianyue fall in love with me."
"It's just you." Sikong You stared and looked at every hair of Ling Cang's hair carefully: "Do you know how arrogant Long Jianyue is? Just because of your virtue, do you think she I can like you."
"What's wrong with me?" Ling Cang combed his hair and said confidently: "How handsome I am."
"I know Long Jianyue somewhat..." Sikong You dragged his voice and started to count them out one by one: "Long Jianyue hates other people's lack of appearance. You are like that; Long Jianyue hates people wearing glasses the most. You are like that." "Long Jianyue despises others who love money more than their lives. You are like this..."
Sikong said twenty or thirty things in one breath. Ling Cang touched his neck and said with emotion: "So Long Jianyue is quite difficult to take care of..."
"Even if Ling Yang and Long Jian Yue don't have any grudges..." Sikong You snorted heavily. Then he added: "Just because you look like Ling Yang, Long Jian Yue won't look down on you at all. If it's another way, In other words, if you could travel back more than ten years and meet Long Jianyue before Ling Yang, the result would be that you would be torn into pieces by Baihua Tuan."
"You are wrong." Ling Cang suddenly seemed like a different person. He was no longer so dull and insignificant: "My father and I are only related by blood. In other words, although I am his son by blood. But in other respects, he is him and I am me."
"you mean……"
"I don't mean anything..." Ling Cang suddenly changed back to his usual self. After looking at the time, he said, "I won't talk to you anymore. There are activities in the club tonight."
Watching Ling Cang walk out of the door, Sikong You returned to the room and dialed a number: "Lao San."
