After Mo Yanshao and the others left in the elevator, Li Yunzhou turned his head and looked at Xia Pingan seriously. He suddenly put on a stern face, coughed twice, and took out his dignity.
"Kid, what's with that look? Let me tell you, don't think you're amazing just because you have the ability to see from afar. In the Committee of Order, Awakened ones are similar to cleaning aunties. Do you understand? There's still a huge gap between Awakened ones and Summoners. In the next two years, your chances of becoming a Summoner are less than one in fifty. Even if you're lucky and accidentally become a Summoner, you still have to call me Senior respectfully, understand?"
"Understood, Senior!" Xia Pingan smiled. "By the way, Senior, you haven't answered my question yet. What does the Demon Eye mean?"
Hearing Xia Pingan calling him senior obediently, Li Yunzhou puffed out his chest as his vanity was greatly satisfied. Waving his hand, he said, "This is not the place to talk. Let's go to the small conference room of the information center. As your senior, I'll tell you how dangerous this world is for a newbie like you!" Xia Pingan's words made Li Yunzhou feel extremely proud.
…
A few minutes later, in the small conference room of the information center, Li Yunzhou stood in front of the huge screen in the conference room, pointed at the strange and terrifying 'Demon Eye' photos piled up with human flesh, and began to tell Xia Pingan about it.
"This is the Demon Eye. The Demon Eye we saw today was considered small, and only three people were sacrificed. The photo in the middle of the screen was taken by the Committee of Order in 1993 on the outskirts of a city in Rwanda, Africa. This Demon Eye sacrificed more than 6800 people …"
The photo of the Demon Eye that Li Yunzhou pointed to was taken from the sky. The dismembered human corpses were piled up into a mountain in an open space that covered an area of dozens of acres. The corpses formed the eye, and the piled up heads formed the eyeball. It was bloody and terrifying to the extreme.
Moreover, the piled up corpses had rotted and maggots had grown. Such a scene was difficult to describe with words.
It was the first time Xia Pingan had seen such a photo, and his heart was in turmoil. He just narrowed his eyes, frowned slightly, and pursed his lips tightly.
In addition to the photo of Rwanda, there were also various photos of Demon Eyes on the screen. The Demon Eyes in all the photos were constructed from dismembered human corpses. Those photos were a challenge to people's endurance.
"For the other Demon Eyes, the number of people sacrificed varies from a few to hundreds. All the heads, hands, feet, and torsos of the sacrificed people will be dismembered into six parts. Because this Demon Eye is too evil and terrifying, it will cause great panic among ordinary people. The media of various countries will not publish such photos. It is something that ordinary people are strictly prohibited from knowing. Of course, you're now qualified to know a little …"
"Is the A-class space invasion in Rwanda in Africa related to the Demon Eye in the photo in 1994?" Xia Pingan asked.
"Boy, you're very smart!" Li Yunzhou nodded. "The Demon Eye is an evil sacrificial ritual. This sacrificial ritual can completely squeeze out the negative energy and negative emotions of humans. For space invaders, the Demon Eye is like a lighthouse guiding the direction of space invading creatures in the vast sea, making it easier for those creatures from another world to open spatial channels to this world. The larger the sacrificial ritual, the more people will die, and the higher the level of the subsequent space invasion. The A-class space invasion in Rwanda in 1994 caused more than one million deaths …"
"Who made the sacrifice? Who set up the Demon Eye?"
"The one who made the Demon Eye is an anti-human cult called the Demon Eye. The disaster in Rwanda is just one of the blood debts of this cult. The history of this cult is too ancient, so ancient that it is difficult to trace back.
The purpose of this cult's existence is to let another world completely descend into our world through space invasion and complete the devouring and destruction of our world. They call this devouring and destruction Holy Arrival.
Among the 178 cults and mysterious organizations in the world confirmed by the Committee of Order, the Demon Eye ranks first in terms of danger. It is the common enemy of the governments of all countries. The people of the Demon Eye can kill them no matter where they see them … "
"Who are the people who joined the Demon Eye? Are they the fallen Summoners and Awakened ones?"
"That's only a small part of the Demon Eye!" The expression on Li Yunzhou's face became solemn, and he was silent for a moment. "In fact, there has always been a guess among the summoners that the first to create the Demon Eye might be the non-humans who came to our world through space invasion. But those non-humans can live among us with the appearance of humans.
After the Garden of Eden Project in 1945 in Europe, the composition of the Demon Eye became even more complicated. Ordinary people, summoners, and awakened ones who were actively or passively possessed by demon spirits or even devoured, fused, and parasitized will join the Demon Eye. As for those who fused with demon spirits or were devoured and parasitized by demon spirits, we no longer know if they are still humans. Their bodies and genes have completely changed, and they will have some special abilities and even become terrifying monsters … "
"Is the Demon Eye an enemy that the Special Operations Department has to face in addition to space invasion?"
"They are one of the most dangerous enemies. All creatures that have supernatural abilities and threaten the national security and social order of the Fire Country are our enemies …"
…
It turned out that Li Yunzhou's patience and seriousness toward Xia Pingan only lasted for less than ten minutes.
In the small conference room, after more than ten minutes, Li Yunzhou, who had answered a few of Xia Pingan's questions, walked over and sat down on the table in front of Xia Pingan. He raised his eyebrows at Xia Pingan, and the topic suddenly changed. "I heard that you drove to Tianqin Shopping Center with An Qing today …"
This guy was just talking about the cults and mysterious groups listed by the Committee of Order as dangerous organizations, so why did he change the topic in the blink of an eye? Xia Pingan was still not used to this speed.
"Yes, Senior, is there a problem?" Xia Pingan could only answer.
"Did An Qing mention me to you in the car?" Li Yunzhou licked his lips, and his voice was inexplicably wretched.
"No!" Xia Pingan shook his head expressionlessly.
Li Yunzhou suddenly chuckled. "Hehehe, I knew it. She's still shy. It's right that she didn't mention me. This means that I've always been in her heart!"
Xia Pingan looked at him speechlessly.
Xia Pingan's gaze made Li Yunzhou snort in dissatisfaction. "Kid, what do you know? Didn't the boss take you to meet everyone for lunch? I didn't come down for lunch, so we're missing one person. Logically speaking, if you're missing a colleague on the way to Tianqin Shopping Center with An Qing, would An Qing mention me? Since she didn't mention me, it means that I have a special place in her heart. She has me in her heart!"
This was a logic genius!
Looking at the satisfied and intoxicated Li Yunzhou, Xia Pingan couldn't help but ask, "Senior, aren't you thinking too much?"
Li Yunzhou glanced at Xia Pingan condescendingly, flipped his long hair, and looked at the sky outside the classroom from the corner of his eyes. He looked melancholy. "An ordinary person like you wouldn't know how many troubles and love debts a handsome person like me would encounter in his life. If being handsome was a sin, a person like me would have been cut into pieces a long time ago. As the number one handsome guy in Xianghe City's National Committee of Order, it's normal for a female colleague to have a crush on me!"
"Is that so?"
"Of course. In fact, other than An Qing, Fang Lingshan also has a crush on me. She's had a crush on me for many years. Just before we got off the plane and entered the elevator, did you see that she snorted at me and glanced at me …"
Xia Pingan's face was serious. "Senior, I felt that her gaze was contemptuous!"
"Contemptuous? Hehe, this shows that you're still inexperienced. Shanshan just wanted to attract my attention. Women are very scheming. Didn't you notice that Fang Lingshan and An Qing don't talk much? It's all my fault! "
Li Yunzhou's face was full of self-blame. "If it weren't for me, there wouldn't be any conflict between them. It's just that one of them is as cold as ice, while the other is as bright as sunshine. I'm a soft-hearted person, and I don't want to hurt either of them, so it's hard for me to make a choice. Forget it, you won't understand even if I tell you this. By the way, it's good that you know these secrets. Don't spread it out, lest Old Tu and the others get jealous, and An Qing and Shanshan meet awkwardly.
After saying all this, Li Yunzhou saw that Xia Pingan was completely speechless. He yawned and suddenly became dispirited. "I still have a mission tonight, so I'm going to catch up on my sleep. I've found some documents on the Committee of Order for you. You can slowly study them on the computer. If there's anything you don't understand … Uh, you'll slowly understand in the future …"
After saying this irresponsibly, Li Yunzhou shook his head and muttered things like "I have to light up the lamp again" and "I have to consume my divine power again" before leaving, leaving Xia Pingan alone in the room.
Xia Pingan smiled indifferently, then started to look at the documents on the computer in the room.
More than ten minutes later, Xia Pingan clicked on a document on the history of the National Committee of Order on the computer, and clicked on an old black-and-white photo from more than a hundred years ago …
The title of the old photo was "1856, Jinshan City, Great Fire Country, Jinshan City, Jinshan City, Great Fire Country."
In the photo, a man in armor was standing in front of the camera with a dignified appearance. The man had two double-barreled muskets on his waist. One of his hands was holding an old-fashioned lamp, while the other hand was holding a long saber.
Behind the man, there was a huge bat demon with a wingspan of more than eight meters. The bat demon spread its wings like a bat, but its body was like a human's. It had a human face, and fangs were exposed in its mouth. Its body was covered in blood, and there was a bowl-sized hole where its heart should be, through which one could see its back …
Mo Yanshao, Tu Polu, and the others were going to "light up the lamp" tonight …
