Chapter 281 The Holy and Hermitage Society
After hanging up the phone, Yu Sheng thought about it for a few seconds, then took a deep breath: "Hey, it's not easy for her to be the director."
As soon as he finished speaking, Erin, who was standing beside him, spread her hands: "Why do I think it's not easy for her to have half of her credit for her lately?"
"This matter is not bad for me tonight," Yu Sheng said quickly, "All the artificial saints of the Holy and Secretariat have penetrated. I discovered this in advance. In the long run, it may be equivalent to how many troubles the Secret Service has solved..."
Erin thought for a while: “Yes, yes?”
"Of course," Yu Sheng was happy, then waved his hand, "Okay, go and call Hu Li back first. Let's send that arm to the Secret Service to let the experts see..."
As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, before Erin could echo, she heard a brisk sound of footsteps coming from the stairs leading to the basement. Then Hu Li ran up with the "iron arm" that had been broken into three sections and had all her fingers cut, showing off to Yu Sheng with joy: "My benefactor! Cut it down!"
Yu Sheng was shocked: "So quickly?"
Erin was also surprised and stared at the thing in Huli's arms wide-eyed: "Is it cut off? And the joints are removed?!"
"Yeah," Hu Li nodded vigorously, and then added, "It's quite difficult to cut. The firepower I used to cut steel bars before was only burned red. Fortunately, it was done after using some spells. As for these joints, they are easier to deal with than blades. They can be broken down with just one force, although it requires very hard..."
Erin was amused as soon as she heard this: "Right, right, the C-shaped buckle is like this."
Huli blinked: "Why do you have such a big opinion on this joint?"
"Imagine that there is another kind of demon fox in the world. When he combs his hair, he rubs his backwards from behind..."
The Huqiu's tail became fluffy at the naked eye - it was a manifestation of goosebumps: "I, I understand!"
At this time, Yu Sheng finally spoke: "Okay, just take it off and take it off. Take the parts and go to Baili Qing to see it - bring the cut blades with you. And that veil, Erin, you can take it. Let's go to the Secret Service."
"Okay!" "Okay~~"
While speaking, an illusory door leading to Bailiqing's office door was opened.
After crossing the gate, the brightly lit corridor of the Secret Service was reflected in his eyes - even though it was late at night, most of the floors of the building were still brightly lit. As a special department that monitors countless exotic exits and maintains the tranquility of the entire junction, the building is obviously on duty for twenty-four hours.
When Yu Sheng stepped into the office door, Bai Liqing was making a phone call behind her desk.
"...It is necessary to act in groups, and personnel are careful not to be single. Artificial saints are very dangerous.
"The focus is on checking the northern part of the old city, but if the fog is too thick, it will be withdrawn. The goal of the first phase is to deploy the detector first...
"The monitoring team is on standby on the 16th Depth Channel...
"Report me any questions."
Baili Qing, who was working, issued instructions carefully and quickly. It was not until the phone was finished and she looked up and saw Yu Sheng walking in. She barely squeezed out a suspected smile from her face.
"You're going to arrange for the investigators to go in?" Yu Sheng guessed based on the content of the call he just heard.
"Well, a group of deep-spreaders have entered the fog. They will move closer to the old city on the 'other side' and focus on checking the surrounding areas of the site you attacked," Baili Qing said, rubbing her forehead gently. "The artificial saints will not appear within the sphere of influence of the Secret Service for no reason. Their tasks are generally to protect important property and personnel. There must be something nearby... The appearance of this 'City in the fog' is becoming more and more suspicious."
She paused and her eyes were on the verge of life. Hu Li and Erin swept back and forth, with a little serious expression, and maybe a little concerned.
Yu Sheng was a little awkward when he was seen by the other party: "Uh, what's wrong?"
"You were sneak attacked by an artificial saint, and they were not injured?" Baili Qing's tone was obviously incredible.
As a result, as soon as she said this, Yu Sheng's expression suddenly became a little subtle.
How can I explain this - if I don't get injured, it's definitely not. It's all fatal injuries, and I made eight holes in my body with two stabs, but if I say there is any injury, I can't see it now. After all, it's just fatal injuries...
Yu Sheng's face shook, and then he tried to tighten his expression: "I suffered a little injury. I have good physical fitness and healed quickly."
Baili Qing looked at Yu Sheng with some suspicion, probably not imagining what the skin trauma would look like after being attacked by an artificial saint, but fortunately she did not delve into this topic, but then she looked at the things that Hu Li and Erin were holding.
Yu Sheng asked them to put the things directly on Baili Qing's desk.
Baili Qing looked at the pile of things carefully for a few seconds, and raised her head thoughtfully: "...How do I remember that this arm in your photo is complete?"
"Ahem, this is because of a little research spirit, and I need these blades, so I let Huli remove it," Yu Sheng touched the tip of his nose awkwardly, and then asked guiltily, "Don't it be removed?"
"That... no, this pile of things is still valuable if they are broken. We mainly want to extract information from it," Baili Qing shook her head, "I asked the people from the appraisal department to come over, and some of them know more about this kind of thing."
Speaking of this, she paused and looked at Yu Sheng with an extra look: "Don't worry, I'll give it to you after the examination."
Yu Sheng was happy when he heard this: "It's okay, I mainly want the blade on it. Just keep the other parts, and I can't analyze anything for me anyway."
He suddenly thought of something, and quickly took two steps forward, pointed to the veil and said to Baili Qing, "In addition, I discovered something. This thing actually has a trademark on it, and there is also a label that is recommended to wash..."
Baili Qing looked calm, and after hearing this, she asked, "Is there any problem with this?"
"Uh... is there no problem?" Yu Sheng didn't react a little, "The Holy and Secret Practice, the Artificial Saint, this sounds evil and high-end. The special equipment on him actually has a trademark, and it is still a very ordinary brand-although it seems a bit expensive, but this..."
"Otherwise?" Although Baili Qing's expression had not changed much, there was a faint smell of "This person is making a fuss". "The Holy and Secret Cultivation Society is also an organization of mortals - they cannot be self-sufficient in food, clothing, housing and transportation, and it is even more impossible to create material things out of thin air, so is it abnormal to buy things from external channels?"
Yu Sheng: "...It seems like it is?"
Baili Qing couldn't help but look at Yu Sheng for a few more times. For some reason, there was a hint of joy in her eyes.
Perhaps he was sighing, "This guy who always makes people feel dark is actually in a state of being unable to change his mind."
But soon, she put away the strange look.
The people from the identification department arrived soon, and they took away the wreckage of the artificial saint's arm and veil. After they left, Yu Sheng also found a chair to sit down and asked Bai Liqing what he wanted to ask before going out.
"What exactly is the 'Sacred and Secret Cultivation' you mentioned for? It is also a cult organization similar to that of the angels? How could they appear in the border area?"
Baili Qing adjusted her sitting position behind her desk and nodded with a serious expression.
“In most civilization circles, the Holy and Hermitages are indeed classified as cults,” she said, “but in terms of organizationality and policy, they are very different from angelists.
"The structure of the angels is very loose. In addition to worshiping the common tribe of "Dark Angels", they are actually divided into many "branches" of all sizes. Each angel will gather an independent small sect under the name of each angel. This also leads to the fact that although the angels are numerous, they are still unable to form a unified force, which is relatively simple to deal with.
“And the Holy and Hermitage Society is another extreme.
"They act together according to a set of doctrines called the "Path of Sainting". The entire organization has a clear program objective and a complete set of codes of conduct. Its organizational structure is tight and its personnel management is strict and efficient. This has also led to a stronger overall strength, although far less than that of the Angels, their overall strength is even stronger. In some areas, they even have stable bases and huge armed forces - this can be seen from the fact that they can create murderous machines like the "artificial saint".
"You should be impressed by the combat effectiveness of the 'Artificial Saint' - and in fact, this thing can be mass-produced."
Yu Sheng was shocked when he heard this: "...that thing still produces energy?!"
Baili Qing nodded slightly: "Yes, you heard it right, mass production - it's just that it can only be mass-produced in the core area controlled by the Chongsheng Secretariat, so the overall number is not large. You don't have to worry about encountering a whole 'Artificial Saint' legion."
Yu Sheng smacked his lips, then asked, "Okay, what does the 'path to worship saints' you just mentioned mean?"
Baili Qing took a light breath and then spoke in a deep voice:
"The Holy and Hermitage Society believes that our world currently has serious defects, and all disasters and pains—including, and not limited to foreign lands, wars, plagues, famine, etc., are all caused by these defects. At the same time, they also believe that mortals are the reflection of the world, and the various defects of mortals, such as greed, selfishness, cowardice, etc., are also the reflection of the defects of the world. In short, in a word, that is, 'This world and everyone living in the world are defective'.
"Their 'mission' is to repair all these defects.
"They believe that mortals can be restored to 'perfect', that is, through the tempering and transformation of the spirit and body, they can make people 'sanctify' into perfect 'saints', or directly create perfect 'saints' through technical means. The so-called 'artificial saint' is one of the by-products of this idea.
"Based on this theory, they believe that the world can also be repaired to 'perfect', but the way to repair the world has not been found yet - in order to find this method, the first step is to create a true supreme saint who conforms to the description of the doctrine...
