Zheng Dong looked at the twists and turns in the round mirror technique and was quite speechless.
He did not expect that Anru would become the final winner in this competition for the elixir to refine the Foundation Building Pill.
If he remembered correctly, Anlu was only in the Qi refining stage now, so he was so eager to compete for the foundation-building pill medicinal materials? And for it, he did not hesitate to use the blood escape technique, which would have serious consequences.
"Is it so popular to be a guinea pig these days?"
Zheng Dong murmured.
Of course, players don't know how they are treated as mice. In their eyes, Foundation Building Pill, Ling Qi Pill and Qi Gathering Pill are the same as spiritual pills on the path of cultivation.
Shaking his head, Zheng Dong withdrew from the wilderness.
...
In the ancient times, monks fought over the elixir in the secret realm of Jinlu Island. In reality, it was also not peaceful.
I don’t know when a wave of protests began all over the world.
Since China has relatively strict control over parades, there is currently no trend of the parades spreading.
But abroad, chaos has begun.
Countless people took to the streets to protest against the government's conspiracy. They claimed that they were abandoned people and that the prehistoric players were the new humanity.
Anyway, no matter how dark you say it is.
As the number of players in Honghuang increases day by day, Honghuang is an open secret.
Even an ordinary student in China has heard about the prehistoric times from different channels.
Streets of foggy city.
A group of ordinary people held homemade flags and marched in the streets in a dark crowd.
The titles on the flags vary, but they are probably about government conspiracy against the New Humanity Project or something like that.
The protest came quickly and fiercely, as if there was an invisible pushing hand behind everything, directing everything.
The imperial capital of China.
Investigation team headquarters.
A top-level internal meeting is being held.
Sitting at the head of the conference table is Tang Hua, the leader of the investigation team. To his left is Jia Chengpeng, the chief of the intelligence section of the investigation team.
These people here are all powerful figures in the investigation team.
Now, as Honghuang's influence grows, the power of the investigation team continues to expand.
Long before the second expansion of Honghuang, the investigation team became independent from the original security department and became an independent department.
In addition, the investigation team has networked with a group of old players in the early days. Although there are no top masters like Ning Daoxuan, there are many Qi refining masters like Zhou Tao in the investigation team now.
If power is fake, then the combat power of these Qi refining masters is real.
With these Qi Refining monks alone, no organization or individual dares to underestimate the investigation team.
In the conference room.
The projector is playing a video of a demonstration, which is a montage of demonstrations around the world.
"Everyone, popular protests are intensifying around the world. Although we have taken repeated precautions, demonstrations still broke out in some cities."
After hearing what the team leader said, no one dared to answer the question.
"If you have any ideas, you might as well share them."
"Team leader..." Jia Chengpeng stood up.
Tang Hua raised his hand and pressed: "Sit down and talk."
"Yes!" Jia Chengpeng saluted with a military salute and continued, "According to our investigation, the protest marches that have broken out around the world are driven by an extraordinary organization."
"Extraordinary organization?"
Below, a man frowned, "Chief Jia, I admit that the monks in the prehistoric era are powerful, but after all, they became monks for less than a year. How could they create such a big momentum in such a short period of time?"
Jia Chengpeng did not answer, but asked: "Have you ever heard of the Dark Parliament?"
Seeing everyone frowning, Jia Chengpeng handed out a printed document.
After everyone got the information, they immediately checked it.
As they looked, everyone's expressions changed.
"This organization actually has over a hundred Qi Refining monks?"
Jia Chengpeng nodded.
"The exact number of Qi Refining monks they have is unknown, but according to our understanding, it is at least three digits."
"So many?" The man who just asked the question continued, "So, doesn't this Dark Council have more extraordinary beings than our investigation team?"
"So far, that's the case."
Jia Chengpeng nodded affirmatively.
"What do they want to do? Supporting ordinary people's demonstrations, apart from making society more chaotic, what good does it do to them?
Or is it that their purpose is to cause chaos in real society?"
Jia Chengpeng and Tang Hua looked at each other and continued: "According to our analysis, what you said is very likely. The situation abroad is different from that at home. Most of their political power is in the hands of major consortiums.
Perhaps, this dark parliament just wants to compete with these consortiums for political power."
"Do they have the strength?"
"Why not?" Jia Chengpeng asked.
Upon hearing this, the other party immediately thought of the abnormal combat power of the Qi Refining Monk and fell silent.
Yes, more than three digits of Qi Refining monks are enough to shake the political power of a country.
If there are consortium forces colluding behind these Qi Refining monks, not to mention seizing the power of a superpower, ordinary regional powers are really not enough for them.
"No matter what happens abroad, we must ensure domestic stability."
Tang Hua finally set the tone for the meeting.
"yes!"
Everyone stood up one after another and saluted.
...
Linghai City.
As the city with the largest number of players in the internal beta test of Honghuang, city residents are familiar with Honghuang.
In addition, a few hundred kilometers away is Penglai Island, the headquarters of the Extraordinary Association.
Residents of Linghai City can even often see escaping lights like meteors passing by.
They knew that this was the figure of the monk heading to Penglai Island.
As the city most affected by monks, this global protest also broke out in Linghai City.
The excuse for their outburst is simple.
"Treat everyone equally! Open Penglai Island!"
Once this slogan was put forward, it was responded to by the vast majority of people.
On the street, some people wearing red clothes and holding flags were marching.
"Open Penglai Island!"
"Treat everyone equally!"
"Open Penglai Island!"
"Treat everyone equally!"
"..."
Both sides of the street were lined with special police officers on duty, but judging from their expressions, they didn't seem nervous.
Rather than stopping the parade, they were here to prevent a stampede.
After all, China has a huge advantage over foreign countries. People do not have guns. In this way, demonstrations are much easier to control.
At least the demonstrations will not turn into violent conflicts.
Some SWAT officers even chatted.
"Penglai Island is so big. If it were opened to the outside world, it would not be crowded enough to explode."
Hearing his whisper, his companion laughed and said, "But to be honest, I also want to see what Penglai Island is like."
"Yes, I heard that there is mankind's first extraordinary city there. I don't know what it looks like."
