In a normal person's mind, the people who were called professors were usually thin scholars with white hair, glasses, and a scholarly air …
However, on a two-meter-tall mountain of flesh, it was hard to tell.
Now, this mountain of flesh was smiling at Ai Qing. The oil on his face was as bright as the sun. His hands did not stop moving. He skillfully arranged the utensils that were too delicate for his thick fingers.
"Coffee or tea?"
"Coffee," Ai Qing said. "No sugar."
Soon, a cup of steaming hot coffee was placed on the plate in front of Ai Qing.
The professor turned around on the ridiculously large swivel chair. He opened the fridge next to him and took out all kinds of exquisite cakes, puddings, chocolates, macarons, fruits from Yingzhou, Rome's thousand layers …
"It's time for dinner. Let's eat together."
He smiled and tied a napkin for himself. He picked up the knife and fork. "Recently, I've been on a diet. I won't be eating meat at night."
Ai Qing looked at the table full of calories, and she seemed to be moved, which was rare. Soon, she shook her head regretfully. "You'll die from high cholesterol sooner or later."
"If it's cerebral thrombosis, it's already happened several times."
The professor raised his finger with a smile and tapped the scar on his forehead. "Thank you for the Astronomy Society. The medical technology of the Continuation Unit will always allow me to continue this hobby."
"Even if you flatter me, it's useless. No matter what, I'm just a new employee." Ai Qing took a sip of the coffee and nodded with satisfaction.
Even though she did not want to admit it, the professor's coffee was the best in Xin Hai. Even though she had quite a lot of rare coffee powder at home, her culinary skills were not as good as this guy's.
"You've become an employee at a time like this? Then you must have had a hard time … "
The professor's brows creased slightly. "Will the war at the Dragon Triangle affect Xin Hai?"
"More or less."
Ai Qing knocked on the table and sighed.
This was a classic example of a fire at the city gate affecting the fish in the moat.
As a behemoth that was second to none in the world, the Astronomy Society had a lot of power. It was the embodiment of the dark side of the United Nations.
Ninety years ago, in order to deal with the threats outside the borders, the Pioneer Society proposed that the five permanent members of the United Nations — East Xia, Rome, the Russian Federation, the American Community, and the First Dynasty of Egypt — form the International Astronomical Society.
The current ruling body of the Sky Literature Association, which replaced the Utopia, was formed by the political leaders of various countries and major monopolies.
Therefore, the First World War was called the war that ended all wars.
Since then, there had been no more world-wide wars, but that didn't mean that wars had disappeared. They had just moved to places where ordinary people couldn't see them. In order to fight for the right to speak, there had been many proxy wars between countries over the years.
Otherwise, how could Baghdad have been reduced to ruins?
Dozens of borders were sunk by the four natural enemies who fought fiercely and fell into the depths of hell. The aftermath of the battle had yet to subside.
Although countries and groups would maintain the existence of astronomy meetings under pressure from outside the borders, internal strife had always been inevitable.
Just like the border war of the Dragon Triangle this time.
Over the years, everyone had tacitly agreed that the country and its affiliated institutions had the dominant development rights of the border. But the reason why the border was called a border was not only because it was on the edge of the present world, but also because it was like a border, a zone with thin sovereignty.
Especially under special circumstances, they could be moved …
Over the years, in order to fight for the 'Dragon Triangle', the Yamatai Empire's relic, the Gong Family, who represented Tianjin, and the Wu Family, who represented Tianjin, had been constantly fighting. It was not the first time that the two sides had fought each other, and the speed at which the sovereignty of the border changed hands was even faster than the speed at which the country changed its prime minister. In the end, after fighting for so long, the boundary wedge that fixed the border was broken …
The boundary wedge could be f * cking broken!
Friend, you did it on purpose, right?
In short, according to the calculations of the Astronomy Society, the Dragon Triangle had begun to drift. First, it drifted toward the Australian Islands, then suddenly turned northwest.
That's right, it drifted toward East Xia.
This time, East Xia was overjoyed. The Border Development Group, Taiqing Heavy Industry, had already begun to rub their hands impatiently, waiting for this piece of meat to fall into the pot.
Then, Ying Zhou began to be unhappy. But now, the Dragon Triangle had already drifted to the open sea. If you're not happy, who do you think you are? If the people are happy, then they're happy.
Moreover, such a big thing is drifting over. You're hiding it and not letting anyone interfere. What if there's something dangerous inside?
East Xia's voice: Come, let me take a look!
I don't know if it's developing normally, but the situation will definitely become more and more tense.
What gave Ai Qing a headache was that if East Xia really planned to deal with the Dragon Triangle, after a while, Xin Hai City would become one of the most convenient ports to the sea.
In other words, there would be more and more Sublimators who wanted to make money, steal treasures, and make some extra money.
And what Ai Qing had to worry about was not only the crime of Sublimators that would definitely increase, but also the mutual attraction between the borders.
What if the Dragon Triangle's Yamatai border bumped into East Xia's coast and collided with another border?
Then, it would be like a comet hitting Earth!
Of course, she wasn't the only one who was worried, but she would definitely be on the list of scapegoats. It really wasn't a good time to become the official inspector of the astronomy society.
Or rather, if she wanted to protect herself, she had to prepare for a transfer within half a year.
The speed of the border drifting was not fast, but based on the current trend, in at most a year, there would be a huge explosion around Xin Hai.
"Have you found a place to go?"
The professor asked casually. "With your background, you can't even do something like this, right?"
Ai Qing glanced at him and didn't say anything.
"I'm just curious, purely curious."
The professor laughed heartily. After a while, he had finished more than half of the dazzling desserts on the table, and the coffee that was so full of sugar that it almost turned into mush was also poured into his stomach.
He was half full from dinner.
He wiped his mouth, took out a thick file from under the table, and placed it in front of Ai Qing.
"This is the investigation you asked for, all the current records and information about the Savior Society," the professor said. The professor said, "According to your request, I only did the basic integration and deleted some useless superfluous parts. But I didn't add any subjective arguments, so I believe this file won't be a problem for you. "
Ai Qing was quite confident in her reading ability. If she wanted to make a guess, she didn't need someone to guess for her and add some subjective opinions.
The most important reason why she was able to become the inspector was not only because of her almost perfect exam results, but also because of her 'intuition', which was considered a rare talent even in the astronomy society.
Yes, that's right, intuition.
If she guessed the odd and even numbers without any evidence, she probably guessed half right. If it was a game of dice, she would be far worse than those professional mathematicians.
However, it was only in the face of a complicated and chaotic situation that her intuition could reveal its value.
In terms of probability, the probability of being correct was about 65 percent.
The accuracy of more than 15 percent made her stand out from the complicated test, and she was evaluated as the best A + talent.
This kind of talent was definitely the perfect match for the prophetic stigmata. Even if there was no soul enhancement, it was enough to make people look forward to it.
The Astronomy Society didn't care about the 35 percent failure rate. In fact, they had enough ability to pay the price. If Ai Qing hadn't refused the recruitment of the countermeasure room and chose to work elsewhere, the Astronomy Society would have started to train her.
Because of this, she was sneered at by the trainees as a typical example of not knowing how to appreciate kindness.
As an intelligence dealer, the professor knew the details of his collaborator very well. He knew all the records on the paper, but he was more curious about the things that weren't recorded on the paper.
Ai Qing was secretive about this and had never revealed a trace of it to others.
In the silence, she focused on flipping through the thick pages. The professor didn't say anything to disturb her. He just changed the direction of the swivel chair and flipped through the obscure professional books on the table.
If Ai Qing had to say what she felt after reading, then only the water of the Savior Society was deeper than expected.
Although no matter how you looked at it, it looked like a group of scammers, but there were too many suspicious points to count. Whether it was the origin of the strange border relic, or the ascendants who had secretly interacted with them …
Wang Hai, who was confessed by the accomplice, was just a temporary leader. Before him, when the Savior Society didn't have this name, there were even traces of the existence of other leaders.
It was true that they had been hiding in Laotang Town to develop in the dark, but on the surface, there were many companies in the mainland that had extensive connections with other places.
Not only in Xin Hai, there were even traces that extended to other places. It could be said that there was no place that they couldn't reach. If it wasn't for the Red Gloves, who made use of this church of scammers, who knew how long it would take to discover these damn things that grew among the lower class in rural villages and remote cities.
From the looks of it, it was more like a subsidiary of a huge organization.
But who was the hand that reached out?
There were too many suspicious directions.
India's Black Sky Cult? The blissful paradise at the border? The American Union's Scientific Deity Society? Or Ying Zhou's 108,000 ghosts and snakes?
Unfortunately, the only two people who knew the details, Wang Hai and Chi, were already dead. Otherwise, Ai Qing wouldn't have had to start all over again.
She wasn't worried about the Red Gloves, who had already been killed by Huai Shi, and the biggest terrorist organization at the border, Green Sun, behind him.
The power at the border was still the border. If they wanted to do anything in the present world, they couldn't avoid the Astronomy Society that covered the entire world.
What she was worried about was, what were the crazy people from the Savior Society planning to do? Had they done it, or were they still doing it? What were they planning to do?
Among them, who else was doing it with them?
From the bottom of her heart, she didn't believe that a piece of trash like Wang Hai, who only knew how to scam money, could use Charity to infiltrate the middle and upper class of Xin Hai.
Just by looking at the file, she knew that guy's life was forever a scammer.
Then, who was adding fuel to the fire behind the scenes?
Not long after, her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of a phone call.
When she finished the call, she was no longer in the mood to continue thinking.
"That's all for the initial report." She put away the file on the table. "I'll transfer the money to you later, but the investigation of the Savior Society has to continue. If there are any new developments, please remember to inform me."
"Don't worry, I will."
The professor drank his tea and looked at her expression. "Is there another crime of Corruption and Sublimation?"
"No, it's worse than that."
Ai Qing tapped on the armrest of the wheelchair expressionlessly. Thinking back to the description of Huai Shi on the phone, she couldn't help but sigh.
"There are many things worse than that."
