Chapter 787 [Abnormal Capital·Crisis Sequence——]
Hanks took over the topic in a timely manner, looking at everyone.
He turned slightly sideways and pointed at the third participant:
"The understanding between the two of us will definitely bring many wonderful possibilities to our cooperation. Next——"
His tone was smooth and calm as always, but Xia Xiu's eyes were firmly fixed on the person he was pointing at.
It was a middle-aged man wearing an elegant lawyer's robe. His hair was neatly combed to one side, exuding an elegant professional atmosphere.
However, what is completely different from the first two abnormal capital representatives is that the existence of this person made Xia Xiu's body react instinctively.
A chill ran up his spine and throughout his body, and he felt as if he was under some incomprehensible threat.
This is a feeling that Xia Xiu has rarely experienced since he became the [Crown One].
This cold feeling was not entirely due to fear, but a pure alertness, as if some unknown existence was watching him with a pair of eyes hidden in the void.
He has never had such an instinctive physical reaction to a human being:
A cold tingling sensation quickly climbed up his spine, and his hairs stood on end, as if he was facing some indescribable threat.
He suppressed the sudden feeling, but the discomfort still lingered like maggots on his tarsus.
The man stood up slowly, his movements extremely smooth, as if he had been rehearsed thousands of times.
The smile on his face was impeccable—this smile was literally perfect; from the curvature of his mouth to the measured expression of his eyes, it was as if it had been precisely designed by a program.
However, it is this too standard "perfection" that makes people feel deeply uneasy, as if...
——There is some kind of alien identity hidden under this human face.
"My name is Kimberg."
The man spoke, his voice low and magnetic.
He gently stretched out his hand to Xia Xiu, his smile still impeccable.
"Representative of Kimberg-Leitz GmbH.
I am honored to be able to see the famous fourth sword-bearer of the Kingdom of Heaven here today. ”
His eyes stared at Xia Xiu, like an unfathomable ocean surging with indescribable waves.
Xia Xiu's golden pupils shrank slightly, and he looked at the hand in front of him, as if it was not an ordinary human palm, but a heterogeneous structure wrapping the appearance of a human being.
Silent moments passed, and he finally stretched out his right hand and intertwined with the opponent's palm.
"Compared to mine, your name is truly world-renowned - the abnormal representative of Financial Street."
Xia Xiu smiled slightly. The moment he shook hands, Xia Xiu felt a vague coolness coming from the other person's palm. It was not a cold temperature, but an invisible and intangible "texture" like air.
Reminiscent of undetectable toxins or lurking shadows.
[Abnormal Capital·Crisis Sequence: Kimberg-Leitz Co., Ltd.——]
The company's philosophy is:
"Law and order, regardless of reality——"
How would you describe this company?
"An abnormal financial and legal services company that specializes in providing professional insurance, legal consulting, financial services and resource management support to abnormal individuals, organizations and customers involved in abnormal affairs.
The company provides customers with cross-dimensional and cross-timeline guarantees and support through complex and unusual contracts, while leveraging abnormal capabilities to optimize its business operations. 』
This is the first impression when people talk about it, and this is also how it looks in people's eyes.
——It looks very bizarre and absurd.
But, that's exactly what it looks like.
As abnormal capital classified as [Crisis Sequence] by the Kingdom of Heaven, their danger lies in their inability to be contained.
They provide the world with customized abnormal legal systems and design exclusive legal systems for customers to ensure that they enjoy the greatest rights and interests in specific fields.
For example, creating special thaumaturgic regulations for anomalous cities such as Three Portlands.
Specially designed contracts with magical and magical effects to ensure that every clause is legally binding.
At the same time, we provide consultation on cross-dimensional and cross-reality legal disputes.
[Kimberg/Leitz], this was the name of the two founders of the company and the source of their danger.
Among the two, the exact time of Kimberg's birth is unknown, and the earliest records show that it appeared in the Glorious Era.
Yes, it is older than the Kingdom of Heaven.
In the ancient Egyptian region of the Glory Era, it was first called "Golden-Osiris"; in the first ancient city of Oletin, in the earliest written law, it was the "Golden Savior" and the earliest founder of commercial law; During the time of the Hanged King of the Daevite Empire, the people called it "The Balancer of Londinium," and they described him in various ways, from a benevolent trickster god, to an extremely lucky gambler, to various venture capital investments. No one waits.
It is regarded as reckless by the public, but in the end it always makes money.
During the early wars between the Celestial Kingdom and the expulsion of living gods, they submitted a contract to the Celestial Kingdom.
That's a portion...
——Insurance policy regarding the God-Slaying War.
[Policy: B666·God’s Wrath
Applicable to all angels who deal with religious anomalies and applicable to all heavenly personnel.
Payment conditions: For every 5,000 people included, 1 inferior religious artifact (created by gods) will be delivered every year.
Content:
If Heaven is killed by a divine or divine-derived entity; and said entity uses its power to dispose of your:
Soul/Identity Matrix Erasure/Mind Ghost/Psychic Echoes, other such remnants; entering into a specific punishment such as:
When in the realm or authority of divine entities such as Hell, Tartarus, Niflheim, Hellfire, Amit's Mouth;
Kimberg-Leitz will intervene, allowing your eternal soul to go to the [human pan-consciousness cluster ocean] under natural conditions, and the soul will return to the sea of humanity without being interfered by pollution. 】
The current resolution assembly of the Kingdom of Heaven concluded a contract with Jinberg. In order to expel the existing gods, they chose to cooperate with the [Crisis Sequence].
In modern times, the Edici Federation has been active since its founding. It participated in the War of Independence between the Fog City Colonial Army and the New Federation Army. It was a secret friend of the first president of the Federation.
It is one of the founders of [Financial Street].
The purpose of the existence of the companies it founded is to fill the legal and financial management gaps in the abnormal field. They claim to be the "law firms" and "financial banks" of the abnormal world.
Their scope of services includes handling legal issues, financial disputes and tax-related matters for unusual individuals or organizations.
Their tone is smug, intricate, break-even, and ultimately positive for the complex human system.
The model and parameters are completely unknown and impossible to deal with.
From a certain perspective, this is scarier than [Factory] or [MC&D]. [Kimberg-Leitz] appears to be on the side of the good guys so far, and it is undoubtedly benefiting its partners—but for how long, and why?
——Outsiders can’t tell the difference at all.
They almost never take the initiative to fight for a better world, but they will provide help to those who struggle.
Examples of direct intervention are support for the Edici Federation to establish [Financial Street] and provision of think tank technical means.
At the same time, they have made several insurance policies for the end times planned by the Kingdom of Heaven.
Unlike other abnormal capital, their goals do not include continued expansion or high profitability.
Nor do their goals include the exclusive pursuit of creating a better world.
They just want to survive and continue to provide - "risk services".
There are several important contracts signed between the Kingdom of Heaven and [Kimberg-Leitz].
Some of the contents of the policies are ordinary, some are broadly financial, and some are rare and idiosyncratic.
Some of the insurance policies overlap with Tianguo’s own emergency preparedness, but for these two risk-averse organizations, it’s always better to be prepared.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
Some policies are even known to the whole world, such as the following policy that was published by the Kingdom of Heaven within the genealogy and is well known to the outside world:
[Policy·A1·Broken Greenhouse Reset.
Payment conditions: Confidentiality.
Policy content:
If the ecosystem is depleted, Kimberg-Leitz will provide a suitable mixture of gases to restore a breathable atmosphere, as well as selected species not available to Heaven in the global seed bank to restore the ecosystem. 】
Their policies, as noted above, leave little room for complex explanations of what is and is not covered, in favor of greater coverage and higher costs.
But when it comes time to implement it, they will strictly implement it in accordance with the original text of the contract.
What is their nature?
The financial departments of the Kingdom of Heaven that have been in contact with them throughout the ages have called them:
——Realized legal/financial concepts.
They symbolize the absolute power of laws and rules.
They are not some kind of existence, but some kind of concept, some kind of universal law, some kind of operating system.
Their full name in heaven is: [Crisis Sequence·Kinberg-Leitz Chaos System].
They serve order, but their model operations are chaotic and unobservable.
This system, defined as a crisis sequence, seems to have reached a deep "symbiotic relationship" with the universe and intelligent creatures, mainly humans.
This symbiosis is profound. The reason why the Kingdom of Heaven had its own [Financial Street] in the past has a deep-rooted causal relationship with this system.
One of the most widely circulated historical contents in Terra's extraordinary non-canonical circles expresses some indescribable relationship between it and the Kingdom of Heaven. The content is as follows:
[In the past, an independent supranational normal organization called the Kingdom of Heaven emerged, and its relationship with the entire Terran Supernatural Alliance regime was changeable.
But [Kimberg-Leitz] and Heaven have long maintained a positive working relationship.
Such relationships stem in part from an ancient tradition of strict contract-keeping that goes all the way back to the founding of Kingdom of Heaven and even its predecessor organizations.
Kimberg had the opportunity to become one of the founding members of the Kingdom of Heaven, but it ultimately retained its independence and the ability to provide risk services and insurance to the abnormal world, all of which it stood to lose if it joined the resolution assembly of the Kingdom of Heaven. 】
The characteristic of unofficial history is that it is wild enough, but one thing that is undeniable is that if you want to prove that the kingdom of heaven has remained so strong since its birth and look for many reasons and origins - the above fragment is one of the most convincing conjectures.
At this moment, the identity shown by Jinberg standing in front of Xia Xiu is just one of his/her/it's many personalities.
According to rumors, not all of Kinberg's personalities were human-like, but not all of them were cold and machine-like either.
The authenticity of these rumors is difficult to verify, but at least now, the Jin Beg that Xia Xiu is facing does not look like a real human being.
Kimberg still maintains that impeccable smile.
There was no change in his expression, just like a mask carved on his face, precise to the curvature of every muscle.
He was slowly retracting the hand that was holding Xia Xiu's hand, his movements were graceful and measured, and his calm posture, as if he was following a certain program, made people feel uncomfortable.
"Your Excellency is so complimentary."
He spoke, his voice low and steady, as clear as cold metal hitting glass, and all the syllables were precise to the point of no more and no less.
He said to the fourth sword holder in heaven:
"I am just the agent, and you are the person who is expected to reshape the rules of the Ivy League war."
His tone was extremely calm, without the slightest emotion, neither flattery nor hostility, but it carried an unsettling sense of inhumanity.
That sense of dissonance is pervasive, like a cold mist in the air that lingers for a long time.
Obviously, facing this Jinberg who exuded a strong sense of inhumanity, Xia Xiu's attitude was completely different from how he dealt with other abnormal capital.
As a secondary derivative of the crisis sequence, an agent of the financial street, and the rumored "sponsor of the kingdom of heaven," Kinberg's complex existence and special status are difficult to fathom using pure logic.
Xia Xiu, on the other hand, acted calmly and calmly at this moment. It could even be said that he showed a rare enthusiasm, as if he was facing an "ally" worthy of deep friendship.
The atmosphere in the conference room seemed to change subtly as their conversation progressed.
Xia Xiu's eyes always stayed on Jin Beige's face. There was a deep light shining in those golden eyes, as if he was analyzing and testing.
The corners of his mouth raised slightly, with a somewhat meaningful smile.
"I wonder what my rating is with your company?"
Kimberg still maintained his trademark perfect smile, with no flaw on his face, neither catering nor resisting, as if he was a calm and precise instrument that would only faithfully implement the established rules.
"Superlative," he replied.
"Do people in the company think so highly of me?" Xia Xiu spoke, his voice low and relaxed, but there was an elusive meaning in his tone.
"So, what level of policy are they willing to offer me?"
This sentence is an understatement, but it accurately touches the core of the existence of Kimberg-Leitz Co., Ltd.-the insurance policy.
The core service covered with countless layers of chaotic logic and unobservable rules is also the bridge between them and the forces in the abnormal field to maintain a symbiotic relationship.
Jinberg's smile did not change. He nodded slightly, his voice gentle but with some unquestionable authority:
"You have a precise understanding of your own value. This is the basis for our willingness to cooperate. As for the level of the policy..."
He paused for a moment, seeming to be calculating the weight of each word precisely.
"It depends on how much you are willing to pay and whether you can afford the cost of our assistance."
Gu, the countdown to the new year is about to begin, and the new year is coming again——
