At the mention of the Astronomy Society at that time, it was necessary to mention the existence of the Utopia, the core of its governance.
Before the disappearance of the former president, the Astronomy Society was a giant in the world. The Utopia, the Governing Bureau, the Preservation Institute, the Technical Department, and other institutions under its banner could be said to be a behemoth that could mobilize the world's power at any time.
Countless Ascended pioneered the development of Hell, the technology department formed by scholars absorbed all the wisdom and technology, and then applied and experimented with the countless laboratories of the Continuation Academy. In the end, the results were appropriately and prudently distributed by the Directorate of Governance, benefiting the present.
And all of this followed the grand blueprint specified by the Utopia.
It would make the world better.
At that time, the Astronomy Society began to rely on the pillar of the world's axis to create many miracles. And with the successful exploration and transformation of the Silver Ocean, the next step, the Kingdom of Heaven, was naturally on the agenda.
At first, it was an attempt to explore immortality, but it soon became clear that this plan was unrealistic. No, it could be said that it was arrogant.
There was no immortal object in the world. Even the gods would face their own decline after a thousand years, let alone humans.
When the first natural enemy died of old age at the border, the exploration of immortality was temporarily put on hold. The Utopia took a step back and searched for a way to resist death.
Unfortunately, death could not be resisted.
Then, after that … … they searched for a way to avoid the losses caused by death.
Or rather, how to preserve the value of life.
This was the origin of the Kingdom of Heaven.
"Before the Kingdom of Heaven falls, all the precious wisdom in the world can be preserved before it is lost." Crow's voice was about to completely penetrate the outer shell of the vault, and his tone became vague. "After death."
"Huh?" Huai Shi was puzzled. "After a person dies, doesn't the Origin Form dissipate?"
"It does dissipate," Crow said calmly. "But this doesn't prevent a copy from being left behind before death, does it?"
"… …"
Huai Shi was stunned.
"Yes, that's right. The so-called Kingdom of Heaven is not a paradise for souls. It's just a place to store valuable records, a … … library."
Crow chuckled softly. "All precious human knowledge and wisdom will be eternally preserved together with the backup. After three concessions, this ideal can be realized.
Unfortunately, they didn't last long and fell a hundred years ago. Tsk tsk, that was the battle that made Green Sun famous. Now you know why they are regarded as terrorists, right? "
Huai Shi was silent for a long time, lowering his head to look at the Book of Destiny.
"In other words …"
"That's right, if the Kingdom of Heaven is a library." Crow's tone became meaningful. "And the book in your hand is its catalog.
Now that it was ringing, it could not be because of anything else — it must be because of the fragment of the Kingdom of Heaven.
If you can obtain it, not only will the Book of Destiny grow stronger, but you will also benefit greatly, right? If you're lucky enough to find a record of military warfare, you don't even need to look for your teacher. "
"But … wouldn't the Astronomy Association hide such a good thing?"
"Some of them are kept, but most of the records have sunk into the depths of hell along with the explosion. I'm afraid they can't be found.
However, there should be a considerable number of collections of records active in the present, the border, or hell.
As far as I know, the disgraceful 'Faust' was caught. The three source poetry collections' Byron ',' Keats', and 'Shelley' were also taken away in advance.
'Confession', 'Les Miserables', and 'Dream of the Red Chamber' did not run away at all. They are squatting in the same place and are being kept. I guess they are having a good time now? "
Crow said, "That lazy bastard 'Moby Dick' will definitely hide it and no one can find it. There seems to be news about 'Rashomon' and 'Maha Maya' recently as well … Those guys, none of them are easy to worry about.
With your current level, it will be difficult for you to deal with those collections, so don't think about it.
I estimate that there are only one or two fragments here. Even though they have some strange effects, they won't make people think of the former Kingdom of Heaven. They are still within the scope of your abilities, so you can relax. "
Huai Shi stared at her for a long time before asking curiously, "Could it be that you are also … …"
"No, I'm not like them."
Crow seemed to laugh happily. "They are prisoners of fate, and I … … am just a temporary resident."
In the blink of an eye, she passed through the door of the vault, ignoring the various security measures as if they were nothing. She suddenly appeared in the tightly sealed vault like mist.
Everywhere she looked, she could see the light of Origin Substances rippling.
Dozens of chests were carefully placed on the shelves, layers upon layers of security and verification. In the center of the vault, however, a pair of burning eyes stared covetously at the sudden appearance of Crow.
It was a wolfhound.
On the stone platform in the middle of the vault, the ferocious hound made of steel seemed to come to life and opened its eyes.
It immediately sensed Crow's presence and suddenly stood up. The movement of its torso caused the sharp sound of metal colliding to ring out. It bared its fangs and grinned.
But as the mist shrank, Crow appeared and glanced at it.
And then, there was no more and then.
Its ferocious appearance dissipated. It whimpered a few times before squatting back down.
"Good dog."
Crow nodded in satisfaction and retracted her gaze. When she turned around to look behind her, Huai Shi couldn't help but inhale sharply.
Eyes, eyes, eyes, eyes, eyes, eyes, eyes … …
Behind the tempered glass on the shelves were transparent jars filled with a light green liquid. Floating within the jars were eyeballs … …
Each jar contained at least seven or eight eyeballs. If the first row of jars was included, there were at least a hundred eyeballs here!
This was only the most horrifying thing. In the last few rows of jars were either hearts or odd-looking animal embryos.
At first glance, it was as if they had entered the laboratory of some crazy scientist.
The atmosphere was terrifying.
"What the f * ck is this!" Huai Shi almost jumped out of his chair in fright. "I didn't come to the cinema to watch this kind of horror movie!"
"It's just a very common organ smuggling. What's the fuss about?"
Crow glanced at those things and retracted her gaze. "Don't worry, most of them aren't human. If you want to say … … human eyes are too cheap and have no value at all for border smuggling.
On the contrary, the organ tissues of some of the border mutants are in high demand in pharmaceutical research. The supply simply can't meet the demand. "
Huai Shi swallowed. "You just … … said 'most', right?"
"Look at what you're saying." Crow was amused. "Isn't 'shoddy goods' the most common trick of capitalists? You've already bought shoddy goods. Do you expect them to give you the real thing? "
"That's not what I meant … …"
"And my suggestion is that you don't care too much."
Crow did not dwell on this topic anymore. She skipped the front row of the shelves and the few items that were obviously relics of the border mutants. Instead, she looked at the flat box in the corner.
She suddenly lost her body shape and seeped into the gap of the box.
Then, Huai Shi saw a remnant page that was treasured on the red velvet cloth.
It seemed to be old. It had already turned yellow and was on the verge of breaking. Various characters were written on it, and one could vaguely see the hand-drawn drawings of the sun, lion, snake, and embryo.
"I see … … I see … …"
Crow smiled happily. "Although it's said that you had bad luck on the way, you're very lucky when it comes to finding things. This record fragment is perfect for it. "
"What? What? "
Upon hearing that there was good stuff, Huai Shi's eyes lit up.
"An alchemy prescription from hundreds of years ago. I can't tell what it was originally used for, but from the style of the depiction of the angel, it should be the manuscript of Count St. Germain. If you trace it back, there should be a trace of the essence of the Jade Record."
Crow sighed. "You've struck gold this time."
Before she finished speaking, her body suddenly dissipated and returned to Huai Shi's shoulder. Huai Shi looked back in shock, his smile gradually disappearing. "Didn't you say I struck gold?"
"Yes." Crow nodded.
Huai Shi's eyes widened. "Then why didn't you take it out?"
"Come on, you asked me, a detection ink bottle, to help you steal something. Is there something wrong? Throwing a grenade for you is already the best I can do. "
Crow rolled her eyes. "Even if I want to take it, I have to be able to fly out of the vault with such a big box. Do you think I can do it? I don't even have hands. "
"Then what should I do?" Huai Shi was dumbfounded.
"I've already scouted the way for you. I've opened up your vision. Can't you go by yourself?"
Crow glared at him with disappointment. "Why are you still hesitating? Find a way to f * cking steal it!"
"No!" Huai Shi shook his head seriously. "If I go, won't I be stealing it?"
"So, it's not a crime if I go!"
"You can steal it if you want … Can't I just pretend that I don't know anything?"
Huai Shi sighed. "Plus, can't we think of a normal way?"
"The last time a similar alchemy formula was auctioned, it was an ancient formula whose authenticity was not confirmed. The final price was eleven million." Crow looked at him out of the corner of her eyes. "Are you going to use your head to buy it?"
"… So be it, I'll just f * cking steal it."
Huai Shi gritted his teeth and reached into his pocket. He wanted to find the mask and balaclava that he had used to commit the crime, but he was stopped by Crow.
"What's wrong?"
Crow glanced at him. "Do you think someone will start something here in Xin Hai right after you get out of prison, and you just so happened to appear near the crime scene … Do you think Division Head Fu will pull out his gun and shoot you?"
"Er …"
Huai Shi finally reacted and suppressed his desire to commit a crime. "How about we just forget about it?"
"After all, collecting the fragments of heaven is one of your missions. Logically speaking, you shouldn't give it up." Crow thought about it for a moment and suddenly laughed. "But we have to plan for the long term, right?"
The man and the bird looked at each other.
It was a meaningful look.
Even though Huai Shi was testing the waters at the edge of Room 404, he realized that he was actually quite eager to give it a try.
"Alibi?" he asked in a whisper.
"Yes." Crow crossed its wings and made a very cartoonish action of thinking. "Ai Qing?"
"Impossible."
Huai Shi shook his head. "She was able to kill me with her own hands. She can't even give false testimony … Fang Shu?"
"You need someone to believe you. Plus, he can't even leave the house. How can he be your evidence?"
Just as he was deep in thought, Crow suddenly asked curiously, "By the way, which day is your school's anniversary this week again?"
Huai Shi raised his eyebrows.
The man and the bird looked at each other again.
"If that's the case …"
Crow whistled happily. "I have a plan!"
