Chapter 157 Secret History and Fragments
[There are two things. The more deeply and persistently I think about them, the wonder and awe they arouse in my soul will change and grow with each passing day. This is my head. The starry sky above and the moral law in your heart. 】
【This is one of the most famous mottos when humans were still living on the earth. 】
【But now, not only is the starry sky gone, but the moral laws in people's hearts have also disappeared. 】
【We gather here and use blood as an oath, agreeing to rediscover the starry sky above our heads no matter what, and retrieve what mankind once stood by. 】
[Even if this is a road with no return. 】
"Blood Words" - Prologue.
Li Wei opened the notebook and wrote these words on the first page he saw.
This notebook compiled and compiled by Zhao Mingda is actually an introduction to the Blood Party organization.
This is an organization that was established in the chaotic old century and has been passed down for hundreds of years. It has been committed to returning all mankind to their homeland on the ground and restoring the broken nature to its original state.
They have lofty ideals and have come together because of the same belief. They have struggled for countless generations. The closest success was to find four fragments of the laws of nature, seven fragments away from each other. The overall progress has been advanced to more than half.
But during that time, an unknown problem broke out. All the Blood Party members were purged almost overnight, and all people or things related to the Blood Party became taboo. taboos in.
The royal family and the Council of Ministers destroyed all information and books about this organization, and sealed the entire underground society. No one can anymore mention the period of returning to the earth, related to natural debris. All the documents and files were sealed and classified as extremely dangerous and banned books.
A series of policies and actions allowed the entire Blood Party to be completely wiped out within three years. This great purge also lasted for three full years, and humans were completely indulged.
From then on, newly born children will never be taught where people lived in the first place, as if civilization has developed underground since its inception.
The barriers that surrounded the entire city, the almost suffocating dome of clouds that pressed overhead, and the social structure where classes were clearly defined and inaccessible from top to bottom, seemed to have been doomed from the beginning.
Zhao Mingda's note was a serious taboo when it was written. Once the central government knew that he had written such a thing, he would be subject to mental examination and put in prison. , no matter what identity he has.
In this way, Levi came to this office at noon. He kept looking at this note until it got dark. He didn't look up until he had roughly read the contents of the note. To Zhao Mingda, who had been sitting in the office and not going anywhere else.
“Did the royal family and the Council of Ministers backstab the Blood Party because they did not want to give up the power in their hands and break the social structure that underground humans had formed, making all their original efforts in vain?”
Levi asked this question.
From the beginning when I met Lin Chunmo in the sun, the man with a mysterious background said that the group of people who found the light stone were betrayed. Their relatives and friends were unwilling to give up the power in their hands, so they were unwilling to return to the ground. Things are abhorrent.
Li Wei did not see any analysis similar to this in Zhao Mingda's notes.
As for why the Blood Party was purged in the first place, they just vaguely said "unknown changes."
After hearing what Li Wei said, Zhao Mingda shook his head.
“This kind of rumor was once the most widely circulated and the most credible. But based on some of the inside information I have learned from my past positions, there are actually big problems with this statement. ”
He said seriously.
“What many people misjudge is that the Blood Party is not hostile to the royal family and the central government. Even at the beginning of the new century, the reason why the central government was able to obtain a dominant position recognized by all the underground cities in the east and west regions was that they They also contributed a lot.”
“In order to find rules, they need a stable social environment, and the hundreds of years of urban separatism, mutual disapproval and even war in the old century have seriously affected it. Their progress. So when it was first established by the Central Committee, they supported and contributed."
"As for returning to the ground, it will affect the current dominance of the royal family and the Council of Ministers. This statement is untenable. Even if the world really restores its natural order, it will be difficult to shake the center, which already has a lot of resources and talents."
"Although there are many blood gangs. People are extremely dissatisfied with the imperial system, but the overall consensus is that as long as the control of rules is returned to the hands of nature and the absolute specialness between people is eliminated, then society in the future will always move in the direction of progress. Without their intervention, their biggest goal is to return to the ground and restore nature.”
"In other words, with such a tacit understanding, the relationship between the Blood Party and the Central Committee has always been very good. The Counselor's Cabinet has made great efforts in the four rule fragments that were found previously."
Zhao Mingda used some of the facts he learned to deny the theory that some people in the central government were assassinated because of their greed for status and power.
After reading these notes about the Blood Party, Li Wei's only doubt was this, and he looked into Zhao Mingda's eyes.
“So, teacher, you asked me to help you translate the documents, and the Blood Party recorded in the notes.”
“There is a rule fragment hidden in the academy, and it was the Blood Party. One of the three fragments that has never been found before," Zhao Mingda said seriously.
Levi's heart was clear at this time.
Sure enough, the news was correct. There was really a fragment hidden in the academy. He was not looking for it in the wrong place!
But of course he did not show this emotion on his face. When he looked into Zhao Mingda's eyes, he said with an extremely serious look.
"Teacher, if what you recorded in your notes is correct, any act of searching for natural fragments is unforgivable to the Central Committee."
"But so what? ?” Zhao Mingda said calmly, “Even if those people were almost dead, and the four fragments that had been found are now completely missing, there will always be someone who still remembers that the top of our heads was not originally like this. A dome covered by clouds, but a sky.”
"I don't know what happened in the past to cause mankind's plan to return to the land to fail, but I also want to give this road a try. I can't live a mediocre life underground like this. I also want to embark on the road that no one before me has walked."
He told Li Wei his ambitions in such a plain voice. If Li Wei reported to the academy, If Zhao Mingda didn't say that he would definitely die, his ending would definitely not be that good.
Now it is obvious that he needs Li Wei's help, and he believes in his character from his work in the Department of Ethics, otherwise he would never say such things.
"So, what do you think? Vic." Zhao Mingda crossed his hands in front of him, "As for finding this rule fragment in the academy, another part of the documents I asked you to help translate before is There are relevant clues. Are you willing to risk being discovered and continue to help me investigate the whereabouts of the rule fragments?"
"Don't rush to answer, no matter whether you are willing or not, I can make you a promise. The board of directors of the college is using you as a knife to complete the rectification of the formal students. Once you complete these things, they will kill you. Abandon it and leave it to the upper-class dignitaries who have been offended to death to vent their anger. "I can help you escape this ending. Although it doesn't mean that your future will be good, it will certainly not be affected by your actions in the academy. ”
Li Wei was not very moved by Zhao Mingda's promise. He had not considered what happened next, and he did not need to think about it at all.
But Li Wei was quite interested in where the rule fragment in the academy was hidden.
He planned to join the Department of Discipline in order to gain higher authority and stand out, just for this matter, but now a suspected shortcut has appeared, and Levi will certainly not give up.
“I am willing to help you, teacher.”
After hearing his answer, Zhao Mingda showed a smile on his face.
He is actually making a gamble.
This matter involves too much and will bear a lot of risks. If Li Wei refuses, he won't feel strange. He can only think of a way by himself and start from other aspects.
And now that Li Wei has agreed, this will undoubtedly save him a lot of energy and bring great help.
"Okay! It's already very late today. Why don't you go back and rest first? Come to my place tomorrow and we will continue to sort out other English documents!"
Zhao Mingda was obviously very excited, but he still did not forget the time. He knew that Li Wei was also very busy in the discipline department these two days and needed to rest now.
It’s just that Levi showed much more energy than he expected, waving his hand and saying.
"It's just seven o'clock now, it's still early, teacher, take out all those documents now, we can work overnight."
Since he said so, Zhao Naturally, Mingda wouldn't say anything more. Soon, he took out a safe from the back room of the office. After entering the password, he took out all the thick stacks of old documents inside.
The lights were turned on to the brightest, and the documents were spread out on the long table. Zhao Mingda took the pen and paper and was responsible for recording, while Li Wei translated the documents into Chinese one by one. The two of them went through the dictionary together to guess the incorrect word, trying to figure out its meaning.
In this way, without realizing it, they stayed up all night together.
The morning bell rang in the central bell tower of the college, and only then did Li Wei see the most critical sentence in this document.
"[Broken Rules has made its own choice. It is willing to help humans build a new home and create a new order deep underground. Human beings have gained the authority that originally belonged to nature and used it to Such authority continues the fire of survival!]"
After reading this, Levi's eyes visibly condensed!
Easily, he thought of the key.
This thing that can help humans gain the ability to control the rules of nature was given by the rules from the beginning!
The academy's key-making process originally did not require the lives of special students, but an accident occurred, which led to changes.
But the key to the key must still be in the rule fragment, which means that as long as he traces the source of all the key raw materials in the academy, he will have a chance to find the fragment!
Li Wei could have thought of this, and it was obviously impossible for Zhao Mingda, who had already learned the source of the key in advance, not to think of it.
“The academy has extremely strict control over the production of keys. The cellar that was invaded a month ago was only the location where the keys were finally allocated and stored. In the key configuration, which raw material is made of rule fragments? What happened is that the people involved have no way of understanding or tracing it.”
Levi narrowed his eyes at this time.
The highest rulers of this college, the school directors, are definitely not unaware of the key making process.
Although school directors are backed by various huge interest groups, some of them are not scientists at all, but just ordinary people.
For Levi, he has too many means to dig out the secrets he wants to know from ordinary people.
The only problem is that those school directors usually have no contact with students at all. Except at high-level meetings within the college, they sometimes invite the minister of the student union to make work reports to the school board of directors. report.
Originally, Li Wei thought that he might be able to take a shortcut from Zhao Mingda, but now it seems that he still has to follow the original plan.
You have to be at the top of the student union to have the opportunity to get in touch with the directors of the college and have the opportunity to take action.
Li Wei made his goals clearer from these documents, but Zhao Mingda was a little disappointed.
He had learned the function of this hidden rule fragment in the academy by looking through the dictionary before, and understood that the source of the key came from it.
But even if he knew this, Zhao Mingda had no chance to get in touch with the core level of the college.
In other words, he once had such an opportunity, but because of his reaction after the library director took him to the cellar that time, he completely lost such an opportunity.
Since then, it is obvious that the relationship between the upper-level faculty members of the college and him has become extremely alienated, and they basically only have ordinary friendships with colleagues.
"That's it for today. Thank you very much for your help, Vic. My promise is always valid, and if you need my help in the academy, you can always come to me and ask."
Zhao Mingda said to Li Wei.
Levi nodded, and he left here contentedly.
Whether it was about the Blood Party or the fact that the keys in the academy were the product of rules, he gained a lot.
On the way back to the apartment to catch up on some sleep, Levi was thinking about how to continue to meet the needs of the college and quickly be promoted to the core level of the student union.
On a road near the official student apartment, a somewhat hesitant and timid figure wearing a special enrollment uniform saw him.
After hesitating for a long time, the special student gritted his teeth and walked towards Levi's direction.
