1: 30 in the morning.
"It's here, Senior Liu. They didn't come out after they entered the building. "
In front of a tall building in the center of the city, Bu Bugao and Wang Hu waited for Liu Minghao and Wei Zidao.
The detailed information had already been communicated over the phone, so the two didn't ask more questions. They just looked at the building in front of them and seemed to be thinking.
"You did well this time." Liu Minghao suddenly turned back and said to Bu Bugao.
This made Bu Bugao suddenly feel refreshed, and a formula suddenly appeared in his mind: Superior's praise = a meteoric rise.
Bu Bugao quickly asked, "Senior, are we going to attack now or wait for him to come out?"
"Attack?" Liu Minghao shook his head and said helplessly, "Do you know who the owner of this building is?"
Bu Bugao curiously asked, "Who?"
Liu Minghao pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "The owner inside is a descendant of the Zhong family in the capital … It's a bit troublesome for us."
"The Zhong family in the capital?" Bu Bugao paused. He had been trained at the Administration's headquarters and naturally heard some things about the aristocratic families in the capital.
But whether it was the Zhong family in the capital or the other aristocratic families, they shouldn't have anything to do with the Transcendents … Thinking of this, Bu Bugao was even more confused. "Senior, shouldn't we have half a level of priority law enforcement authority? Even if the owner of this building is backed by the aristocrats in the capital, we don't seem to be afraid, right?"
Not only Bu Gao, but even Wei Zidao had a puzzled look on his face at this time. Liu Minghao sighed.
"Actually, you haven't come into contact with these things … Well, you'll know sooner or later."
Liu Minghao found a place nearby and asked everyone to sit down, then said, "We do have half a level of priority law enforcement authority. Senior agents can even see the higher-ups … As for the so-called troublesome, it's not because we're afraid of the aristocrats, but because the Zhong family is more special."
"What do you mean?" Bu Bugao was impatient and asked directly.
"The four major families in the capital." Liu Minghao was silent for a moment, as if he was organizing his words. "Let's put it this way. After the establishment of Xin, the establishment of the Administration was more or less indebted to the four major families in the capital … The four major families in the capital all invested in the construction of the Administration."
Wei Zidao and Bu Bugao, who heard this secret for the first time, were shocked … The four great families in the capital were actually the sponsors of the Administration?
"You've read history, so you should know that the country had many things to do at that time, and the national treasury was empty. It was already very difficult to maintain the livelihood of the people during those years. However, the establishment of the Administration is a huge project, and the manpower, material, and financial resources required are immeasurable. "Liu Minghao said seriously," A large part of the funding source comes from the four big families in the capital. "
"There's no one from the four great families in the Administration." Wei Zidao suddenly said.
Liu Minghao nodded. "That's right. The creation of the Authority was for the people, not for it to become a weapon in someone's hands. If the Four Great Families are allowed to enter the Authority just because of their investment, then after many years, can you say that our organization can still maintain its purity? Moreover, there are many demons, humans, and demons in the Agency. It may seem harmonious, but in fact, there are different factions. How would you know how complicated it is? With such a complicated relationship, if we were to join the Four Great Clans, wouldn't it be even more chaotic? "
Wei Zidao said doubtfully, "But if that's the case, won't the Four Great Clans have any objections?"
Liu Minghao smiled and said, "The people of that generation are not like the people of today. They don't have as many thoughts as the people of today. The elders of the Four Great Clans are all people who have walked through the red years. They have experienced blood and fire. For the sake of the country, who knows how many sacrifices they have made. They don't even know where such a huge amount of money has been used, and they never ask. "
"So noble …" Bu Bugao was shocked.
Liu Minghao snorted softly and glanced at Bu Bugao. The latter immediately shrank his neck and didn't dare to say anything.
Liu Minghao narrowed his eyes slightly. With a respectful expression, he said slowly, "For those elders, nothing can compare to the strength of the country. We, the younger generation, don't know how they were able to walk step by step from that difficult to the point of despair until they finally reached victory. For them, the country and the people are their beliefs … Since the country wants it, then why can't it be given? They have completely given the first half of their lives. Why would they care about worldly money? "
Wei Zidao listened in awe. Bu Bugao's face was ashamed. Wang Hu was indifferent.
Liu Minghao thought for a while and said, "The Four Great Clans gave a lot in the beginning, but they didn't ask for anything in return. They have sacrificed too many things … So, even if the Four Great Clans don't know the real existence of the Administration, there is such a rule in the Administration's secret regulations. That is, we need to take care of the descendants of the Four Great Clans as much as possible. This is a kind of compensation for these elders. "
"There is such a thing …" Wei Zidao was secretly shocked.
"Your authority is still very low." Liu Minghao said seriously, "When your level is higher, you will naturally come into contact with more things … Of course, this is not a secret that can't be disclosed. Generally, the seniors will mention this kind of thing when they are out on duty. Of course, we won't say it on the surface. Everyone knows it in their hearts. "
The two nodded quickly.
Liu Minghao continued, "For example, in the past few decades, the Four Great Clans have been growing stronger step by step, involving all aspects … Such powerful families naturally need support from above. Later, the Xin Country gradually improved, but Chellona was full of demons. Some of the remnants of the demonic sects and extremely evil demons have entered the world. Many of them have set their sights on the Four Great Clans, trying to control these major families to achieve the goal of causing chaos in the world. But in the past few years, very few of the Four Great Clans have died an unnatural death. You should know why by now, right? "
Wei Zidao started his career earlier and was more calm. He asked directly, "Brother Hao, do we have people who have been secretly protecting the descendants of the Four Great Clans?"
Liu Minghao nodded and said, "Yes, but we will not take care of every descendant of the Four Great Clans. We will only secretly protect the real leaders of the Four Great Clans. As I said, the Administration does not belong to the rich and powerful. The Four Great Clans have developed to this day and have many descendants. If we have to protect every one of them, how much manpower and resources would we waste? "
"I see …" Wei Zidao nodded and then looked at the building not far away, "No wonder Brother Hao has some misgivings … This 24 is a wanted criminal, but he is in contact with the descendants of the Zhong Family. It is a bit troublesome."
Liu Minghao said, "Between society and Transcendents, we must distinguish between them. We will not allow too much contact between mortals and Transcendents, especially the Four Great Clans who control the economic lifelines of many countries … But I heard that last year, the Zhong Family's old master was supposed to be seriously ill and did not have much time left. But for some reason, he suddenly recovered and was full of energy. It was not the final radiance of the setting sun … This matter is quite strange. We guessed that this old master may have met some Taoist, so he was able to extend his life … "
"This …" Wei Zidao frowned.
Liu Minghao shook his head, "But it seems that he did not extend his life for many years. This old master has been through life and death for so many years, and the Zhong Family is involved in a lot of things … The chain of interests of the Zhong Family is too complicated. If this old master falls, it will have a huge impact on society. So, these few years of buffer may not be a bad thing. At this time, this Old Master has already started to deal with the matters of the Zhong Family step by step. After a few years, when he really passes away, there shouldn't be too big of a mess. Therefore, we should take a wait-and-see attitude for the time being … However, privately studying longevity is absolutely not allowed. Behind the Mount Tai incident, some of the higher-ups in the Administration had selfish motives. They secretly captured demons and used the Administration's technology to secretly research this taboo factor … "
Bu Gao was puzzled, "Senior … if they can research immortality, wouldn't it be good?"
Liu Minghao said, "How can immortality be so easy to research? Look at the internal strife in the Administration this time, how many people were killed? You didn't see how cruel those secret research rooms were … After seeing the bodies of those demon children, I can understand why some of the demons at Mount Tai were so crazy … They were really forced to a dead end. "
Shaking his head, Liu Minghao was quite helpless, and finally sighed, "Immortality is a taboo project … Even if it is really researched, it should not be done privately. It can only be researched openly, and it can only be done in a more scientific and correct way … Moreover, it can only be announced to the public by the government. Maybe it is a bit of double standards, but the country is a whole, and there are no rules and regulations. If an individual has more power than the country, who can guarantee that he can use this power in the right way? "Take the four great families for example. If the leaders of the four great families really achieve immortality, can you guarantee that such families that grow step by step will not completely nibble away the lifeline of the country? "Aristocratic families … can exist, but they can't exist forever. They will naturally split up and decline until they disappear in history. Then, new aristocratic families will appear, and then decline again, and the cycle will repeat. Only the country's political system will not change, and that is the way to rule the country."
As he spoke, Liu Minghao stood up, "The descendant of the Zhong family has already crossed the line by coming into contact with superhumans … This is not something we can handle. "I will report this matter to the higher-ups. Bu Bugao, you and Wang Hu will continue to monitor 24 for the next few days. Wei Zidao and I will monitor this descendant of the Zhong Family … We can only wait for orders from the higher-ups for the follow-up actions."
"Understood!"
…
…
Inside the building.
It should be the first or second floor of the basement because the elevator went down.
At this time, 24 was sitting in a separate room with glass on all four sides – this was not the only room here. In the huge maze-like floor, almost all the separate spaces were separated by tempered glass.
You could clearly see what the people were doing in each of the individual rooms.
It seems to be some kind of research … 24's eyelids were half open, and he still looked weak. However, the four strong men who were guarding outside the room were extremely nervous. They would secretly look at the mysterious crow that was standing on 24's shoulder from time to time.
Not long after, a young man came in with his hands behind his back, followed by several men with extraordinary auras … Zhong Luochen came to 24's place.
"Second Young Master, do you really want to go in alone? What if there is danger … "Cheng Yun came forward and said worriedly," Do you want Master Chen and a few other masters to come? "
Zhong Luochen looked at the man inside through the glass and said indifferently, "Chen Er only knows a little Feng Shui, and at most he is good at martial arts. As for the other masters, they are only slightly better at martial arts. If the person inside is really as powerful as you said, do you think Chen Er and the others can handle it? "
"This …"
"Since he is really capable, I should treat him with respect."
"But … it is still too dangerous."
Zhong Luochen waved his hand and ignored Cheng Yun. He said, "Open the door."
Cheng Yun had no choice but to whisper to the others. In case 24 suddenly attacked, they had to rescue him immediately … At the same time, he couldn't help but admire the courage of this Second Young Master.
Compared to the Second Young Master, the First Young Master was simply a reckless man. Only the Third Young Mistress was shrewd enough … Unfortunately, the Second Young Master was not interested in the power of the Zhong Family.
But on second thought, the Second Young Master's current situation was naturally not comparable to the power of the world … No wonder the Second Young Master alone could suppress the young men of the four great families.
With a smile on his face, Zhong Luochen didn't show the slightest bit of fear. He came in front of 24 openly — he even asked people to close the door, turning this place into a quiet secret room.
"Mister, what do you think of my place?" Zhong Luochen asked with a smile.
24 looked at him slightly, and after coughing a few times, he said slowly, "Making such a place in the busy city, it seems that you are plotting something big … You are studying extraordinary power, right?"
Zhong Luochen's eyes suddenly lit up, "Mister 24 really knows about extraordinary power!"
24 suddenly said, "Your soul is not complete, as if a part of it was cut off by someone. What have you experienced?"
Zhong Luochen was shocked in his heart … In the entire Zhong Clan, only he and his grandfather were aware of the transaction with that mysterious place. Could it be that this strange and dispirited young man had already seen through the clues with a single glance?
Zhong Luochen took a deep breath and said, "I once saved the life of an elder in the family, so I paid a price."
24 yawned, his eyelids became more and more heavy, like a sleepy person, "So … you started to come in contact with extraordinary power from that time?"
"That's right." Zhong Luochen didn't hide it.
24 nodded, and then said, "Well, I understand … From now on, you worship me, and I will do things for you. Then … can you provide a room that is not so exposed? I don't like to be stared at when I sleep. "
Zhong Luochen was stunned at first. He didn't expect this person to agree so directly. He didn't even have the time to state his conditions … He was delighted, but then he frowned slightly. "I wonder what the 24 Priestesses need for the so-called offerings?"
"First … just make sure that I have three meals a day." 24 suddenly smiled.
At this moment, he was no longer weak and gloomy like a shut-in. Instead, he looked like a pale-faced evil spirit …
