"Well...it's so lively..." Ou Haobai stood on the high platform of the park with his hands in his pockets and looked into the distance. Although in the eyes of ordinary people, the world in the distance was simply a mess of colorful colors, but he could see it clearly.
"All the seven major families are here, plus these top chief executives and top leaders...um...are we going to have a Hongmen Banquet?" another voice in the heart responded.
"Hongmen Banquet? Ha...I don't think so...except for that Chu Yunlan, aren't all the people in this room from the Glorious Republic?" Ou Haobai didn't open his mouth, but his voice went straight to the bottom of his heart.
"Are you interested in pretending to be confused with me? Huh?"
Ou Haobai smiled, yes...
"Then tell me, what is Xiao Qing's purpose in gathering people at Qin Yi's banquet? Isn't she worried that those people will take the opportunity to bring down the entire management team?" Ou Haobai asked.
"If all problems can be solved by killing these people, why do you think Xiao Qing and the others at the top management level have not taken action against those 'traitors'?"
Ou Haobai was indeed questioned this time.
He thought for a while and then said: "The power of the seven major families is so intertwined that it has basically formed the foundation of the entire human society, so it is understandable that the top management does not dare to take action easily, but..."
"But why have the annihilators been so silent all these years?" The voice from the bottom of my heart asked the key question.
Ou Haobai lit up a cigarette, took a puff in the wind and said: "Hiss... ugh... I really don't understand, what are they planning..."
"Who are you talking about...specifically?"
Ou Haobai looked into the distance and said: "Look in this hall, the representatives of the seven major families are divided into two groups, and the top management members are divided into three groups. Although the remaining top chief executives are gathered together, they seem to be inseparable.
That Zhang Yu, his wife and some young people gathered together, talking and laughing, and seemed to be very comfortable."
"Yeah, it's really strange. I thought they would be clearly divided into two groups and that would be it. It seems that the water is much muddier than expected."
Ou Haobai held his hand on the railing and was silent for a while before saying, "Let me see...it's actually not that complicated..."
"oh?"
"The earliest Holy Ark Council has been formed since the early days of the establishment of the Zandibor Empire. However, there were only three members at that time. After thousands of years of development, it has reached its current size, so in my opinion... the Holy Ark
Parliament is just holding their ground as always."
"Well... that's right... these big families must have their own set of order and rules that have been passed down for so many years. It's not easy for them to get together like today."
Ou Haobai smiled: "Not only is it difficult, I think that maybe in the eyes of ordinary people, the seven major families have been divided into two factions. The gathering tonight is to confirm the attitude of the Qin family, but in fact... the seven major families have never been divided.
! It is precisely because someone has seen through this that... they came to the banquet so calmly."
"Hiss...listening to what you said, it's really true!"
"Haha... the people in this hall are all top actors. They wear masks and play different roles, but they are all clear-eyed in their hearts. So... the gathering of the seven major families tonight is just superficial. The real competition is secretly.
"
"Well, that seems to be the case, but... I can see the surface, but what are they secretly fighting for? Does it mean that Xiao Qing, as the supreme leader, still wants to negotiate terms with the leader of the extremists?
?”
Ou Haobai was startled when he heard this, and then he laughed uncontrollably.
The voice in my heart said displeasedly: "Why are you laughing?"
Ou Haobo laughed for a while before stopping, and then asked: "Who said there was an extremist leader at the dinner today?"
"Huh? That Chu Yunlan! Don't they know this?"
"Of course they know."
"Then you are laughing your ass off!"
Ou Haobai calmed down and nodded: "Yes, I estimate that except for a few people in the hall at this time, most people know Chu Yunlan's true identity, but so what?"
"So what? Haha...you don't mean to say that they are all pretending to be confused, right?"
Ou Haobo shook his head: "No, they are not pretending to be confused, but they have to be confused."
"Why?"
"Why? Then answer me a question first."
"you say."
"How did you know Chu Yunlan's identity?"
"Oh, didn't you ask knowingly? After we became what we are now, are there any secrets that can be hidden from us?"
Ou Haobai withdrew his gaze, and the world returned to normal, but it still seemed like drizzle was falling in front of his eyes. He raised his hand and touched it lightly, and he could sense many things.
"Yes, there are basically no secrets for us in this world now, but...it's one thing to know the secrets, but it's another thing to let others know that you know these secrets."
The voice in his heart was silent, and he understood what Ou Haobai meant.
"Although everyone in this hall knows who Chu Yunlan is, only a very small number of people at the top of the Arbiter are qualified and can publicly confirm Chu Yunlan's identity! To be more precise...tonight
...If Han Kongwen does not publicly 'reveal' Chu Yunlan's identity, no one will or can stand up and drive Chu Yunlan away, including Xiao Qing."
After saying this, the voice in my heart sneered.
"Yes, Chu Yunlan's current 'real identity' should be a philanthropist, right? Tsk...it's so hypocritical..."
"Hypocritical? No, no, no, brother Shaoan, you have to calm down."
Of course Li Shaoan knew to keep his composure...but since he came back from the operation with Zhang Yu and Jin Yuan that day, his body became abnormal.
Not only can it no longer appear in a stable humanoid form, but even the most basic senses have been lost. Now all that is left is the self-awareness mixed with Ferim's memories.
But at the same time, Li Shaoan also gained the ability to penetrate into the ocean of numbers as a blessing in disguise, and his spiritual consciousness was completely separated from Ferim. Now it can be said that the two grown men share the same "body" regardless of each other.
At first, Li Shaoan was very disgusted and resistant... Felim was also similar, after all, neither of them were gay.
But after trying many times and failing to separate completely, they gradually got used to it.
And after a period of communication, the two people who no longer shared spiritual consciousness suddenly felt a sense of sympathy for each other.
Especially in Li Shaoan's eyes, Felim, as a person from the future, has given him, an "ancient man", a lot of inspiration in terms of worldview, values, etc.
Felim also felt from Li Shaoan the spiritual integrity of the earth's ancestors that was different from contemporary people.
After the two got to know each other to a certain extent, they began to extend their respective goals.
Li Shaoan learned from Philim that his biggest dream was actually very ordinary, which was to become a legal citizen of the Glorious Republic. However, Li Shaoan was unable to find any trace of the hidden meaning behind this obsession from Philim's memory.
After Philim learned that Li Shaoan came from the earth, he also gradually learned that Li Shaoan's earth period was being invaded by a mysterious force, and he also learned that the leader of this force was most likely the Arbitrator now in charge.
Korean Kongwen.
It's just that Felim couldn't figure out how Han Kongwen sent his spiritual consciousness to the past, and for what purpose he did it.
However, these are problems that cannot be solved in the short term. Now Li Shaoan and Felim just want to leave this mysterious park as soon as possible.
"This ghost place seems to have been banned. What can I do if I can't calm down now?" Li Shaoan sighed.
Felim (Ou Haobo) said: "Don't worry, I think it won't take long before Miss Manny can help us escape from here."
…
Speaking of Manny, Li Shaoan remembered an incident two days ago.
At that time, he and Felim were "wandering around" in the park, and accidentally bumped into Manny, who was also leading someone to search for something.
At that time, Manny was obviously startled when she saw Felim, and there was some panic in her eyes, as if she had noticed something.
Later, Philim returned to the place late at night to check, and they found a miniature "mysterious cube" deep underground.
This thing was buried extremely deep, and it would have been impossible to "dig out" the cube from the ground if it weren't for the unusual strength of Firim's current controller.
But not long after getting the cube, it collapsed and dissipated on its own.
It's like it never appeared.
Philim began to suspect that the reason why they were unable to leave the park was because there must be a larger "cube" hidden deep underground in the park.
However, when Philim went underground with this suspicion, he found nothing.
For a while, Philim was in distress again.
Just one day ago, Manny's team also found a palm-sized "mysterious cube" from the park.
At that time, the entire investigation team was very excited, thinking that they had found the truth, but the result... was the same as what Philim had encountered before.
The miniature "mysterious cube" cannot last long before it naturally disintegrates, just like a blown soap bubble...
…
"As you can see, that thing can't last long at all, and the only things we can understand now are things recorded in the ocean of numbers. We can't help her with things like this that no one has ever seen." Li Shaoan
I understand what Philim means.
Felim was full of confidence in Manny and said, "I know, but didn't you notice?"
"Notice anything?"
"When the cube they found disappeared, the whole team was very depressed, but Manny's eyes shone brightly, as if she had discovered something."
"Oh? You really observed carefully." After Li Shaoan recalled it, Manni's reaction was indeed different from others at that time, and he clearly remembered that Manni went to the park alone that night.
.
"Well, so, there's no need to worry, we'll just stay here and don't let anyone reveal our true identities." Ferim looked very relaxed.
But Li Shaoan said: "But I think the man named Li Boan will find us soon."
Felim raised his eyebrows: "What are you afraid of? Haven't we recently made sure that we didn't kill that Ou Haobai and his younger brother? Then we just need to fool him first, and everything else will be easy to deal with."
Li Shaoan was still a little uneasy.
Indeed, when Li Shaoan discovered that he was extremely aggressive, he thought that as long as he came into contact with others, he would kill others. For this reason, he and Felim still had a dispute about whether to hurt people when necessary.
But later they discovered that the people they contacted did not actually die, but were just "sent" to other places, as if these people were turned into data streams and then materialized in other places.
Moreover, most people who are "sent away" will suffer from amnesia.
Just like real
Ou Haobo is currently with a group of street performers in Aisinval, thousands of kilometers away from Erub. Although he has lost part of his memory, Ou Haobo's own fighting qualities are still there, and he quickly integrated into these people and became a
Their bodyguards can be considered as returning to their old profession.
As for Xiao Liu, he was in a worse situation.
The time he had been in contact with Li Shaoan may have been too long, which directly caused his memory to be completely erased. Not only did he not even remember his own name, he also lost some of his most basic cognitive common sense...
Fortunately, he was wearing an exoskeleton at the time and did not suffer too much after being sent to a strange place. Now he is hanging out with a group of free people, being regarded as a "fool" and responsible for "charge into battle".
This "teleportation" ability that can cause "amnesia" in others can be regarded as the second power mastered by Felim and Li Shaoan.
But it's not the last one.
Later, Li Shaoan and Felim also specifically studied their current structure, and found that although they could not leave the park, they could use the macro wave field to interfere with and enter the dreams of other people in the park.
Although you can't gain insight into other people's memories in their dreams, you can use dreams to test their thoughts.
However, there is also great danger in doing so. For example, some people who have received professional training will subconsciously set themselves up for defense. Once they accidentally touch this line, it is very likely that the owner of the dream will detect their
True identity, so Li Shaoan and Felim don't intend to enter other people's dreams easily.
…
After drinking several glasses of wine, Yingzi's face was slightly hot. She sat in the most secluded corner, and she and Zhang Yu looked at the people in the hall curiously like cats.
Their camp is very clear at the beginning, and even if you don't know them, you can clearly understand their positions.
But since Xiao Qing entered the banquet hall accompanied by Qin Yi, these people were suddenly broken up into a group. Everyone was enjoying themselves, just like a group of comrades reunited after a long absence. Not only were their faces filled with charming smiles,
And danced.
But there were two people who seemed particularly eye-catching and dignified since entering the hall.
One is naturally Xiao Qing.
Although it is not unusual for the top executive to appear alone in a bar in this day and age, the top leader is the top leader, and she will never be as relaxed as others.
And it seems that in order to ensure Xiao Qing's safety, Xiao Qing is always accompanied by an arbiter.
As for the other "uninvited guest" who was not invited, he was the great philanthropist Chu Yunlan.
This beautiful woman from the Percival Dome is not only the heir of the Chu family, but also the helmsman of the Su family. Although her financial resources and influence are not comparable to those of the seven major families, she is also one of the most influential ones at the moment.
One of the characters.
In the eyes of the world, Chu Yunlan's most eye-catching "great act" is the construction of a three-dimensional charity city that provides free education and medical services to freedmen and C-class temporary residents.
This charity city received attention and praise from all over the world when it was completed.
At that time, Xiao Qing also specially awarded Chu Yunlan the highest charity medal.
This honor and this kind act have spread Chu Yunlan's personal glory to the extreme.
But on the other side, in the eyes of the Arbiter, Chu Yunlan has another unknown and terrifying identity... that is, the new leader of the annihilationists.
As the most powerful and extreme group of "disciples", the annihilators have caused a large number of tragic disasters around the world since their birth.
For example, when the Golden Birdcage was destroyed, the annihilationists carried out large-scale terrorist attacks in various domes! Not only did they attack the troops of the Free Federation, they also killed innocent people indiscriminately, gathered the people for brainwashing, and targeted others.
Those who obeyed were publicly executed.
Therefore, in the impression of the world, annihilators are the most disgusting "disciples", and they are even more hated.
However, over the past many years, the activities of the annihilationists have been greatly reduced, and now there is basically no trace of them in many domes.
When most people thought that the annihilationists had disappeared, in fact they were still dormant in secret, and most of their forces had obtained a "legitimate cloak" through illegal channels.
The most representative of these is Chu Yunlan and her Charity City.
And it’s just as Felim analyzed.
Even if everyone in the entire hall knew Chu Yunlan's true identity, as long as Han Kongwen didn't speak, Chu Yunlan would still be the philanthropist.
Not only could Qin Yi not refuse her uninvited visit, she also had to treat her as a distinguished guest.
The subtlety of this is truly dumbfounding.
At least Zhang Yu didn't understand why Han Kongwen chose to remain silent.
However, Sakurako was vaguely aware of the deeper meaning of tonight's banquet...
However, she had no concrete evidence now, so she couldn't make any wild guesses. She could only stay with Zhang Yu and hide in the corner drinking.
The party lasted until midnight.
After the last performance, the guests left one after another.
Originally, some people planned to stay, after all, Xiao Qing has not left yet.
But after Han Kongwen passed through the crowd, these people "consciously" said goodbye to their master.
When most of the people were gone and Zhang Yu and Yingzi were about to leave, Li Boan suddenly appeared in the banquet hall and signaled to them not to leave for the time being.
Zhang Yu and Yingzi were a little strange, but they still obeyed.
