Chapter 157 Secret History and Fragments
[There are two things. The more deeply and persistently I think about them, the more the wonder and awe they evoke in my heart will change and grow day by day. These are the starry sky above my head and the moral law in my heart. ]
[This is one of the most famous mottos when humans still lived on the earth. ]
[But now, not only is the starry sky gone, but the moral law in people's hearts has also disappeared. ]
[We gather here, use blood as an oath, and promise to find the starry sky above our heads and find what humans once held on to. ]
[Even if this is a road that can't be returned. ]
"Blood Words" - Prologue.
Li Wei opened the notebook and wrote these words on the first page he saw.
This notebook compiled by Zhao Mingda is actually an introduction to the Blood Party.
This is an organization that was established in the chaotic old century and has been passed down for hundreds of years. It has been committed to returning all mankind to their homeland on the ground and restoring the broken nature to its original state.
They have lofty ideals and have come together because of the same beliefs. They have fought for this for countless generations. The closest success was to find a full 4 fragments of natural rules, and the total progress of 7 fragments has been advanced to more than half.
But during that time, an unknown problem broke out. All the blood parties were purged almost overnight. All people or things related to the blood party became taboos among taboos.
The royal family and the cabinet destroyed all the information and books about this organization and sealed the entire underground society. No one could mention the period of returning to the ground. All the documents and files related to natural fragments were sealed and listed as extremely dangerous forbidden books.
A series of policies and actions completely wiped out the entire blood party within three years. This great purge lasted for three years, and humans were completely indulged.
Since then, newborn children will never be taught where people live in the beginning, as if civilization has developed underground since its infancy.
The barriers surrounding the entire city, the dome clouds that almost suffocated the head, the social structure with clear classes and no connection between the upper and lower levels, seemed to be destined from the beginning.
When Zhao Mingda wrote this note, he committed a serious taboo. Once the central government knew that he wrote such a thing, he would definitely be subjected to mental examination and imprisoned, no matter what his identity was.
In this way, Levi came to this office at noon, and he kept looking at this note until it got dark. Only after he finished reading the content of the note, he looked up at Zhao Mingda who had been sitting in the office and had not gone anywhere else.
"Did the royal family and the cabinet of counselors stab the blood party in the back and let all the original efforts go to waste because they did not want to give up the power in their hands and were unwilling to break the social structure that had been formed by the underground human beings?"
Levi asked this question.
When he first met Lin Chunmo in the sun, the man with a mysterious background said that the group of people who found the light stone were betrayed, and their relatives and friends hated the idea of returning to the ground because they were unwilling to give up the power in their hands.
In Zhao Mingda's notes, Li Wei did not see any analysis like this.
As for why the Blood Party was purged, he only vaguely said "unknown changes".
After hearing Li Wei's words, Zhao Mingda shook his head.
"Such rumors were once the most widely circulated and the most credible. But based on some of the inside information I learned from my past positions, such statements are actually very problematic."
He said seriously.
"Many people have misjudged that the Blood Party is not hostile to the royal family and the central government. In fact, at the beginning of the new century, they also contributed to the central government's ability to gain the ruling status recognized by all the underground cities in the East and West regions."
"In order to find rules, they need a stable social environment, and the hundreds of years of city separatism in the old century, mutual disapproval and even war, seriously affected their progress. So when the central government was established, they supported and contributed."
"As for returning to the ground, it will affect the ruling status of the current royal family and the Council of Ministers, this statement is also untenable. Even if the world really returns to the natural order, the central government, which already has a large number of resources and talents, will not be able to return to the natural order. , and it is difficult to be easily shaken. "
"Although many people in the Blood Party are extremely dissatisfied with the imperial system, the overall consensus is that as long as the control of the rules returns to the hands of nature and the absolute special between people is eliminated, the future society will always move in the direction of progress, and they don't need to intervene at all. Their biggest goal is to return to the ground and restore nature. "
"That is, with such a tacit understanding, the relationship between the Blood Party and the central government has always been very good. The four rule fragments that were found before were greatly helped by the Councilor Cabinet. "
"Zhao Mingda used some facts he knew to deny the reason that some people in the central government were greedy for status and power, and these Blood Party members were stabbed.
After reading these notes about the Blood Party, Li Wei's only doubt was this, and he looked into Zhao Mingda's eyes.
"So, teacher, the documents you asked me to help you translate, and the Blood Party recorded in the notes."
"There is a rule fragment hidden in the academy, and it is one of the three fragments that the Blood Party has never found." Zhao Mingda said seriously.
Li Wei's mind was also clear at this time.
Sure enough, the news was correct, there was really a fragment hidden in the academy, and he did not find the wrong place!
But of course he did not show such emotions on his face, and when he looked into Zhao Mingda's eyes, he said with an extremely serious look.
"Teacher, if the things recorded in your notes are correct, any behavior of searching for natural fragments is unforgivable to the central government."
"But so what?" Zhao Mingda said calmly, "Even if the group of people were almost dead, and the four fragments that had been found are now completely missing, there must be someone who remembers that the sky above our heads was not originally covered by clouds like this, but a piece of sky."
"I don't know what happened in the past that caused the plan of human beings returning to land to fail, but I also want to try this road. I can't live a mediocre life underground like this. I also want to embark on the road that no one has ever walked before."
He told Levi about his ambitions in such a calm way. If Levi reported this to the college, Zhao Mingda would definitely die without saying anything, and his ending would definitely not be very good.
Now it is obvious that he needs Levi's help, and from what happened in the discipline department, he believes in his character, otherwise he would never say such words.
"So, what do you think, Vic?" Zhao Mingda crossed his hands in front of him. "Regarding finding this rule fragment in the academy, there is a related clue in another part of the documents that I asked you to help translate before. Are you willing to continue to help me investigate the whereabouts of the rule fragment at the risk of being discovered?"
"Don't rush to answer. Whether you are willing or not in the end, I can make a promise to you. The school board of the academy is using you as a knife to complete the discipline rectification of formal students. Once you have done these things, they will abandon you and throw you to the upper-level dignitaries who have been offended to death to vent their anger."
"I can help you escape this ending. Although it won't make your future good, it will definitely not be affected by the actions in the academy."
Levi was not very moved by Zhao Mingda's promise. He had never considered the following things at all, and he didn't need to consider it at all.
But Levi was quite interested in where the rule fragment in the academy was hidden.
He planned to join the Discipline Department to gain higher authority and stand out for this matter, but now there is a way that seems to be a shortcut, and Li Wei will certainly not give up.
"I am willing to help you, teacher."
Hearing his answer, Zhao Mingda smiled.
He was actually taking a gamble.
This matter involved too much and would also involve a lot of risks. If Li Wei refused, he would not feel strange. He could only think of ways to start from other aspects.
Now that Li Wei agreed, it would undoubtedly save him a lot of energy and bring great help.
"Okay! It's late today, why don't you go back and rest first, and come to me tomorrow, and we will continue to sort out the other English documents!"
Zhao Mingda was obviously very excited, but he still didn't forget the time. He knew that Li Wei was also very busy in the Discipline Department these two days and needed to rest now.
It's just that Li Wei was much more energetic than he thought, and waved his hand and said.
"It's only seven o'clock now, it's still early, teacher, take out all the documents now, we can work overnight."
Since he said so, Zhao Mingda naturally didn't say anything more. Soon, he took out a safe from the inner room of the office, entered the password, and took out all the thick stacks of old documents inside.
The lights were turned on to the brightest, and the documents were spread out on the long table. Zhao Mingda took paper and pen to record, and Li Wei translated them into Chinese one by one. When they encountered uncertain words, they used the dictionary to guess and try to figure out its meaning.
In this way, they stayed up all night together without knowing it.
The morning bell rang in the central bell tower of the college, and Li Wei saw the most critical sentence in this piece of documents.
"【The broken rules made their own choices. They are willing to help humans build a new home and create a new order deep underground. Humans have gained the authority that originally belonged to nature, and have used this authority to continue the fire of survival!】"
After reading this, Levi's eyes clearly focused!
Easily, he thought of the key.
This thing that can help humans gain the ability to control the rules of nature was given by the rules from the beginning!
The process of making keys in the academy did not originally require the lives of special recruits, but an accident occurred in the middle, which led to the changes.
But the key to the key must still be on that piece of rule fragment, which means that as long as he traces the source of all the key raw materials in the academy, he will have a chance to find the fragment!
If Levi can think of this, then Zhao Mingda, who has already known the source of the key in advance, obviously cannot fail to think of it.
"The college has extremely strict control over the production of keys. The cellar that was invaded a month ago was only the final location for the allocation of keys and storage. In the configuration of the key, which raw material is produced by the rule fragments, people who are not involved in it have no way to understand and trace it."
Levi narrowed his eyes at this time.
The highest rulers of this college, the school directors, must know the key production process.
Although the school directors are backed by various huge interest groups, some of them are not scientists at all, but ordinary people.
Digging out the secrets you want to know from ordinary people, for Levi, he has too many ways to do it.
The only problem is that those school directors usually don't have any contact with students at all. Except for the high-level meetings within the college, sometimes they will invite the ministers of the student union to report on their work to the school board.
Originally, Levi thought that he might be able to take a shortcut from Zhao Mingda, but now it seems that he still has to follow the original plan.
It is necessary to enter the senior level of the student union to have the opportunity to contact the school directors of the college and have the opportunity to start.
Levi had a clearer goal from these documents, but Zhao Mingda was a little disappointed.
He had learned the function of this rule fragment hidden in the academy by looking up the dictionary before, and understood that the source of the key came from it.
But even if he knew this, Zhao Mingda had no chance to contact the core layer of the academy.
Or he had such an opportunity, but because of his reaction after the librarian took him to the cellar, he completely lost such an opportunity.
Since then, it is obvious that the relationship between the faculty members at the top of the academy and him has become particularly distant, and they are basically just ordinary colleagues.
"That's all for today. Thank you very much for your help, Vic. My promise is always valid, and if you need my help in the academy, you can come to me at any time."
Zhao Mingda said to Levi.
Levi nodded, and he left here contentedly.
Whether it was about the Blood Party or the fact that the key in the academy was the product of the rules, he gained a lot.
While Levi was on his way back to his apartment to catch up on some sleep, he was thinking about how to continue to meet the needs of the college and quickly get promoted to the core of the student union.
On a road near the regular student apartment, a figure wearing a special student uniform, looking a little hesitant and timid, saw him.
After hesitating for a while, the special student gritted his teeth and walked towards Levi.
