"Professor Bai, I have always respected you."
Qinggang Main City, in the conference room, Minister Shen frowned tightly:
"But when you discovered the clues about the 'escaped laboratory' that once alarmed the entire alliance, instead of immediately alerting Qinggang, during the recruitment and guidance of individual soldiers afterwards, you even deliberately misled us, allowing us to lower the individual soldier's out-of-control standards, and even spent a huge price to help him create key items that could enter the second stage..."
"Of course, I have to admit that you made the right decision. The single soldier helped us solve the special pollution attack of Sea Nation, but one code is the same. Why did you hide it and why did you help the single soldier? These things still need your explanation!"
"..."
"I concealed this matter because I didn't want Research Institute to know about it."
Professor Bai answered extremely calmly, saying, "The reason why I temporarily concealed it from you is because I need to borrow the power of Qinggang to help individual soldiers stabilize. To be honest, when I found out that such an ability user has actually lived in our Qinggang like an ordinary person for more than ten years, the surprise and fear in my heart were no less than those of you who saw the power of the tyrant yesterday."
"I'm pretty sure that if I tell you about the speculation about individual soldiers from the beginning, it will definitely cause unnecessary variables."
"First of all, we can't guarantee that the secret won't be exposed."
"Secondly, our excessive vigilance is not conducive to the stability of individual soldiers."
"Of course, even if I do these things later, I have always followed the principle that stable work is more important than anything else."
"I am not trying to let Qinggang provoke a highly variable nuclear bomb without knowing the situation, but I am trying to guide Qinggang to do some work that is conducive to the stability of the nuclear bomb without knowing it. In this way, at least things will not worsen."
"..."
In the conference room, several people who listened to this report became very complicated.
It even feels a bit incredible.
Minister Shen said in a strong voice, "Whether you are good or bad, you are actually a threat to us. If I had known that there was such an unstable power in the body of an individual soldier, I would never have agreed to let him come into contact with Pollution Source. In that case, separating him from other people without threatening him is the safest way."
"What you say makes sense."
Professor Bai answered slowly, "But I believe that if I had told you from the beginning, the current situation would not be like this. Either the individual soldiers have lost control, or Research Institute has come to pick them up, and no matter which one it is..."
"The results are not something Qinggang can bear."
"..."
As if in recognition of Professor Bai's answer, everyone in the conference room remained silent.
Mr. Su also pondered for a while, and then said softly, "On this point, I trust your judgment Professor Bai, but what I am more curious about now is that you are Eclipse Research Institute, and Moreover, our Special Pollution Cleanup Department gate in Qinggang was established with the support of Research Institute. Now a lot of information about special pollution was shared with us by Research Institute..."
At this point, he paused slightly. "So, where does your vigilance against Research Institute come from?"
His question reached a key point, and everyone looked at Professor Bai.
Eclipse Research Institute, Central City located in the twelve cities of the Northern High Wall City Alliance, is also the most authoritative and advanced place in today's alliance, or in the world, for the impact of the emergence of Crimson Moon and the research on Mental Mutation.
To a certain extent, the confidence of major High Wall Citys in fighting such strange events as Mental Mutation comes from Eclipse Research Institute.
It is precisely because Eclipse Research Institute's position is so important, it is like the center of the alliance.
Therefore, many people usually subconsciously call it "Alliance Research Institute."
Professor Bai's own knowledge comes from Eclipse Research Institute, so the vigilance he shows is puzzling.
"A lot of places."
After listening to Mr. Su's words, Professor Bai also spent a period of silence before slowly answering:
"I haven't been studying at Research Institute for a long time, and I am not considered an outstanding person in Research Institute."
"Whether it is the genius researcher who jumped from a hundred-story building and left three last words or prophecies to the world, or the colleague who proved that there are thirteen special spiritual beings in the world and later openly betrayed Research Institute, they are all much better than me. However, I still found some problems during this limited learning process..."
"First, the information shared by Research Institute is far less than what they already have."
He spoke slowly, as if he wanted to make everyone present understand where his concerns came from. "In Research Institute, I found that the vertical and horizontal aspects of their research are beyond our understanding. Many people think that Mental Mutation started after the occurrence of Crimson Moon incident, but the research in Research Institute is far from starting with Crimson Moon to Qidian and ending with now..."
"Secondly, Research Institute is obviously partially useful, but the research results are not intended to be made public..."
"..."
Listening to these words, Mr. Su frowned and said, "Mr. Bai, this kind of guessing answer is not your style."
"Haha, indeed."
Professor Bai also smiled self-deprecatingly, and after pondering for a while, he said, "Then let me tell you something that is easier to understand."
"When I was recruited to study at Research Institute as one of the first batch of interns, I quickly discovered an interesting phenomenon."
"Research Institute appeared in front of the world after the mutation of Crimson Moon."
"But I think there should have been many researchers who were recruited before Crimson Moon incident."
"..."
Listening to Professor Bai's words, the faces of everyone in the conference room suddenly became a little strange, or nervous.
It felt like something hit me in my head.
They all had a feeling that they had suspected something for a long time and now it was proven:
"In other words, Research Institute had already started researching Mental Mutation before Crimson Moon incident?"
"..."
"Not only that..."
Professor Bai After a while, he shook his head and smiled slowly, "There is an interesting phenomenon, have you noticed it?"
"After Crimson Moon incident appeared, Research Institute changed its name once, and it was called 'lunar eclipse'."
"The meaning is obvious, it means to solve the source of all this chaos, and it also includes Research Institute's determination."
"But we need to know that before the name change, Research Institute's name was Crimson Moon."
"Then you guess..."
He paused slightly and then said slowly:
"Before the moon turns red, what is the purpose of this Research Institute named 'Crimson Moon'?"
"..."
"Boom!"
Everyone in the conference room suddenly felt a creepy feeling.
The purpose of Eclipse Research Institute is to eliminate the source of pollution Crimson Moon.
So, the purpose of Crimson Moon Research Institute...
In their hearts, there are some heavy topics, such as the reason why this disaster happened in this world, the real timing of the appearance of Mental Pollution, the Eclipse Research Institute that is now believed by everyone, the real purpose and their strength...
They are already the most distinguished people in Qinggang.
But in front of these topics, the only thing they feel is insignificance.
After a long time, Mr. Su was the first to calm down and looked at Professor Bai calmly:
"So, what are your assumptions about Eclipse Research Institute now?"
"..."
Professor Bai shook his head and said:
"Even though I attended Research Institute's academic exchange conference not long ago, I didn't understand what their real research direction is now. What they do and share seems to be topics that will help humans control and fight against Mental Pollution..."
"Of course, we do not rule out the possibility that after Crimson Moon Research Institute changed its name to Eclipse Research Institute, they did change their attitude and direction... But as people who want to survive, I think we must remain sufficiently vigilant and skeptical."
"You are right..."
A somewhat hoarse voice sounded. That person was also a gentleman from Qinggang City, but he didn't usually pay attention to this direction.
He pondered at this time and slowly asked his doubts:
"But what I am more concerned about now is, what is the status of the individual soldier, and what is his relationship with Research Institute?"
After a pause, he said softly, "I think everyone understands that Qinggang cannot do without the support of Research Institute..."
"If you want to make a multiple-choice question between an individual soldier and Research Institute..."
"..."
"Qinggang does not need to leave the support of Research Institute."
Professor Bai interrupted him and said, "Just like the report I gave today, it doesn't exist."
"We don't do multiple-choice questions, and we don't need to think about taking sides in this war that we're not sure whether it really exists."
"..."
"And for individual soldiers..."
"I only know that Eclipse Research Institute once had an important task, which was to try to tame the thirteen special spiritual bodies."
"The single soldier is most likely a leftover from that experiment. The power of the 'tyrant' exposed when he dealt with Sea Nation's S-level ability user has confirmed this. Of course, I do not intend to pursue this secret by force."
"..."
Having said this, he paused slightly and continued:
"Now, what needs to be reiterated is that Qinggang's goal has always been to rebuild civilized order. You and I both know that this is not an empty slogan. Historical experience tells us that without ambitious goals, we will only sink ourselves step by step."
"Of course, to take a step back, even if we are afraid and just want to avoid possible threats, it is just delusion..."
"Just a simple question..."
Professor Bai concentrated briefly and looked up at everyone. "Have you ever thought that the power code-named 'Tyrant' and the power that can best restrain the 'Tyrant' appeared in our Qinggang at the same time. Is this a coincidence or something else?"
As he spoke, he emphasized his attitude:
"We all live under Crimson Moon, so none of us can stay out of it."
"..."
Professor Bai's words silenced many people.
The painting "The Crimson Moon's Gaze" is already the biggest discovery in Qinggang in the past ten years.
But it just so happens that the parasitic spiritual body in this painting can help the individual soldier achieve a good balance.
It's really interesting if you think about it.
"Whether it's a conspiracy, a real coincidence, or some mysterious logic beyond our understanding..."
In this silence, it was Minister Shen who spoke first. He looked directly at Professor Bai and said:
"What I am most concerned about right now are actually only three issues."
"First, what is an individual soldier now?"
"Is it our nuclear weapons protecting Qinggang, or is it a bomb that threatens Qinggang?"
"..."
Professor Bai replied, "The individual soldier is just an ability person recruited by our Qinggang Special Purity Department, who is also a Qinggang City's Level 4 Special Talent. We have helped him with the second phase of stabilization work and signed a contract with him, so we don't have to think about anything. After all, everything we do has traces and rules to follow. We only do what we should do."
"... Even for this report meeting, in order to ensure that the secret is not leaked, I hope that at the end of the meeting, Colonel Chen will give us a hint. In the future, we will only think of this matter and discuss it under specific circumstances."
"..."
In the conference room, some people nodded, while others remained silent.
Minister Shen looked at Professor Bai and said, "Second question, how do we protect ourselves?"
Professor Bai met Minister Shen's gaze, smiled softly, and said, "If we don't commit suicide, we can protect ourselves."
Minister Shen looked a little ugly. It was obvious that he didn't like this kind of "humorous" answer.
Fortunately, Professor Bai just smiled and said, "Of course, there is another way."
"That's what I brought up before, Heavenly Kingdom Plan."
"..."
The appearance of these four words caused a commotion in the conference room.
The expressions on everyone's faces became a little weird. Some were nervous, while others were suspicious.
"I agree with this plan."
After hearing this, Mr. Su also looked at the other two gentlemen and said, "The Beginning When we assigned work, you believed in me, so you let me be responsible for the adjustment work between Qinggang and Special Purity Department. Well, I hope you can continue to trust me."
The other two gentlemen were silent for a while and nodded softly. "Everyone does what suits them. That's no problem."
As if a consensus had been reached, the atmosphere in the conference room relaxed a bit.
Minister Shen also nodded slowly, then raised his head. "The third question I am concerned about is..."
After a pause, he asked, "God, will it really appear?"
"..."
"I can't answer this question either."
Professor Bai took off his glasses, pulled out a handkerchief and wiped them before putting them back on.
He smiled gently but firmly, "But if God really appears, I will be very interested in having a good chat with Him."
After the title, you must put the number of words, otherwise you will think I am lazy.
