Feng Wei's face turned pale and pale.
However, seeing his expression, Professor Plank thought he was in the shock and surprise of being "personally received" by the dean.
After clapping his hands, the instructor showed a smile again. He stood up and tidied his oil-stained coat and said with a smile:
"let's go!"
Feng Wei finally recovered from his confusion, but was hit by an accident again and asked:
"Are you going today? To meet the dean?"
Plank had already pushed open the office door and smiled: "Of course."
"I said that the Immortal also values you and is eager to take you under his command as soon as possible."
Feng Wei could only bite the bullet and keep up with his mentor, and the uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense...
Plank's words just now, "I wish a genius like myself would join" suddenly made the wisdom cult's strong character disappear.
A student who has just been admitted to the Federal Academy of Natural Sciences can easily get the attention of the "Prince" and personally preside over the joining ceremony. It seems that this "Wisdom Order" seems to be short of talents, isn't it good... Although Feng Wei himself He thinks he is a genius, but that is only after he shows his prominence in the future, not far from the present.
Feng Wei even thought of a worse outcome, similar to the illusion of being pulled into a "communication and communication organization".
How could it be that it was obviously a high-ranking Wisdom Council... suddenly turned into a Wisdom Religion?
Going downstairs with doubts, and following the pace of his mentor Opal Plank, Feng Wei took advantage of the time when the two were walking to ask:
"Teacher...what is the relationship between the Wisdom Order and the Wisdom Parliament?"
Opperplank said casually without any pressure:
"Ancient and modern, purity and pollution, persistence and betrayal..."
Feng Wei: "..."
Um... is there a metaphysical explanation?
Can you still talk properly?
"I mean..."
Feng Wei was thinking rapidly, and couldn't find the right words to describe the problem for a while. He felt as if whatever he asked would be hit back with Tai Chi by the instructor who suddenly became a "magic stick".
He had the urge to grab his mentor's ankles, want to turn him upside down and keep shaking him, shaking all the information in his stomach to the ground.
Feng Wei refused to give up and asked: "I mean, what exactly is the Wisdom Religion?"
"The Order of Wisdom is an organization that truly originated from the Iron God. It is the only pure iron people who uphold the wisdom of the Iron God. We... have not been contaminated. For thousands of years, we have never changed our beliefs."
Opal Plank answered one by one, until finally, he sighed, shook his head and smiled bitterly:
"It's a pity that there are not many of us now, so we can only huddle in the Federal Academy of Natural Sciences."
I knew it... Feng Wei sighed as expected, thought about it, and replied: "You mean, our Wisdom Religion..."
He emphasized the word "we", imitating his mentor's language style, and continued: "Historically, I mean, our Wisdom Order... was a glorious and powerful organization?"
Unexpectedly, this kind of imitation had miraculous effects... Opperplank's face suddenly became serious, and he gave an answer that made Feng Wei almost jump:
"Of course! Pandora established by the Wisdom Order! It is the historical founder of the current Pandora organization!"
The Order of Wisdom establishes Pandora!
Feng Wei felt as if his body was hit by a raging wave. He stopped immediately and stammered in a shocked tone:
"You...are you talking about the current Pandora? The Pandora with the four major councils?"
"Yes!" Opperplank nodded solemnly, reached out and patted Feng Wei on the shoulder:
"Child, you have to know that Pandora is now polluted. They are going down the wrong path, sinking deeper and deeper..."
"Our mission... is to clean up the pollution that Pandora has suffered, bring it back on track, and let it bathe in the radiance of the Iron God's wisdom again."
Feng Wei felt that the more he listened, the more confused he became. Instead of being able to resolve the doubts and shock in his heart, he became more and more trapped in it... However, he still noticed the word "pollution" mentioned repeatedly by his instructor, and he thought about it for a few seconds. Zhong couldn’t help but ask:
"Teacher Plank, what is the pollution you are talking about? Are...all the four major councils polluted?"
"Yes, they are all polluted! The whole Pandora is polluted..." Opal Plank nodded: "As for what pollution is, you yourself are one of them..."
When Feng Wei heard this, his eyes suddenly widened, and then he heard his mentor sigh: "Pollution is the contract ability, the energy of the source of symbols!"
Sure enough... this answer coincided with one of the results Feng Wei expected.
After listening to the instructor talk so much, I gradually made a rough outline of what I was going to hear.
The so-called Order of Wisdom is the predecessor of Pandora, or in other words, at a certain period in the history full of mist, it was the Order of Wisdom that created the institution Pandora. The Order of Wisdom believed in the Iron God and regarded itself as an ordinary iron citizen. Advocating wisdom and science...
Comparing the current Pandora, among the four major councils, except for the Wisdom Council, whose composition is not clear, the other three councils are all composed of contractors... Looking at it this way, some conclusions are obvious. The current Pandora is controlled by contractors. mechanism.
Because the instructor made it clear that the so-called pollution...is exactly the existence of the contractor!
The mission of the Wisdom Religion is to "remove pollution", so that means...removal of the Contractors? !
Thinking of this, Feng Wei suddenly shuddered.
The Wisdom Order is an "anti-contract" organization. As a contractor, I somehow joined an anti-contractor organization!
He couldn't help but swallowed, but saw his mentor looking at him with a smile, pointing to the tallest building in the Academy of Sciences not far away, and said:
"Come on, we're almost there."
"The Immortal has prepared the ceremony and is waiting for you."
Ritual... Hearing this word again, Feng Wei immediately smelled a hint of danger. He felt that his feet were filled with lead, and he never wanted to take another step forward.
The Wisdom Religion... advocates wisdom and science. This is certain, but what is this inexplicable, religious-like ritual? Could it be that the Order of Wisdom is an organization that is a strange combination of barbaric religion and scientific belief?
In any case, the concept of anti-"contractor" has been confirmed by the mentor, so the so-called ceremony...is full of danger. As a contractor who joined the anti-contractor organization, what kind of mess is he going to participate in? Will the ceremony involve a sacrifice?
And the sacrifice...is myself as the contractor?
Feng Wei felt that there was no logical problem with the danger he had imagined, and it was very possible.
Savagery and intelligence are not two straight lines that never intersect, but for a long time they coexisted.
He looked up and examined the expression on Mentor Opal Plank's face, and immediately felt that there seemed to be a cruel flavor behind the smile full of kindness and expectation.
go?
Can you refuse?
If you don't go, you can only run away now, run away! That's right, he escaped from the Federal Academy of Natural Sciences and wandered around the world...
Feng Wei couldn't make a decision for a while.
He was admitted to the Federal Academy of Natural Sciences, and became a member of Pandora's Wisdom Council in a daze. He was even very proud of it these days... Who would have thought that things would take a drastic change that was completely unpredictable. It's not Pandora, no, it's Pandora. The Wisdom Order should also be a faction of Pandora, but it's not the expected Pandora.
Run, can you run away? He wanted to sigh deeply.
He looked around at the armed guards who could be seen everywhere on campus, and quickly gave up the idea of turning around and running... That was tantamount to seeking death. As long as Professor Plank shouted, the guards could beat him into a sieve... I The contract ability is not a combat type.
Taking the mentor hostage? hehe...
Opperplank seemed to notice Feng Wei's gaze and said thoughtfully:
"The number of security guards has indeed increased during this period. I heard...it seems that someone in the dean's team betrayed and stole a lot of important experimental materials."
Feng Wei nodded blankly.
Opal continued to urge: "Let's go quickly, don't waste time, don't let the dean wait too long."
"Also." He continued: "The sooner you go, the sooner you can start. After all, you have to spend a lot of time in the ceremony and bear a lot of pain. It is best to end it as early as possible."
When Feng Wei heard what he said, his heart suddenly rose to his throat and he almost spread his legs and ran away.
Does having to bear the pain mean that... what I guessed about being "sacrificially sacrificed" was true?
Fortunately, the instructor added one more sentence at the end:
"After the ceremony is over, you will be a formal member of the Wisdom Religion and can rest for a few days."
Feng Wei was about to cry.
It turns out...it's not that you go and never come back, but that you go and come back.
Instructor, can you please stop being so scary with your words? Don’t you know I have a rich imagination? I'm envisioning a pretty scary scene.
It turned out that I was scaring myself.
Feng Wei was still worried and asked tentatively: "Teacher, what is that... ceremony? How to do it?"
Plank waved his hand directly: "Oh, don't explain, just leave."
"When the time comes, just follow the orders of the Immortal."
Feng Wei could only bite the bullet and take steps forward.
...The white main building of the Federal Academy of Natural Sciences has ten floors, almost one of the tallest buildings in the capital city of Kyushu, and the dean's office that Professor Plank mentioned is on the top floor.
The guards here are extremely tight. There is a post every ten steps away, and there are guards everywhere with pistols on their waists.
These guards are different from the uniforms of the Public Security Bureau or the Inspectorate. They are the armed forces of the Federal Academy of Natural Sciences itself.
After many rounds of interrogations and searches, we finally arrived at the tenth floor.
Professor Plank didn't stop and directly opened the door of the largest room on the floor.
An old man wearing a milky white doctor's robe was already sitting on the sofa, seemingly waiting for a long time.
Feng Wei looked through the holes in the corner and found that the old man's beard and hair were white and his face was full of wrinkles. He was probably not over ninety years old.
What's more obvious is that the opponent's body is stooped and his skin shows a faint green color, just like the symptoms of poisoning in the TV series.
Hearing the sound of the door, the sleepy old man raised his dull eyes and saw Professor Plank and Feng Wei. Then he stood up tremblingly... The wrinkles on his face twitched, revealing a smile.
"You...are here..."
The old man's throat was dry and hoarse, as if his vocal cords had been worn out, and he could only barely produce a human voice.
His eyes finally fell on Feng Wei, the smile on his wrinkled face became even wider, and he nodded slightly... Such a slight movement seemed to cost him a lot of effort.
In his dying years, it seemed as if a gust of wind could make this frail old man lose his life... This was Feng Wei's first thought at this time. Then, he scanned the entire room and found no such thing as an altar or blood stains, so he put down Heart comes.
"Hello, dear master!"
Professor Plank's expression turned respectful immediately after facing the old man in front of him. He took two steps forward and bowed deeply.
He turned his head and motioned to Feng Wei, who then bravely did the same thing as him: "Hello, Master!"
The old man nodded weakly again, as if... his fragile neck could not bear the weight of his head.
Feng Wei's Adam's apple rolled, and he had the urge to persuade the old man to stop moving. He was worried that his terrifyingly thin neck would make a crisp sound and his head would roll off.
"No need...call me master...call me dean."
There was a trace of dissatisfaction in the hoarse voice: "Master... is the... chief title of the Wisdom Council, and I... am the leader of the Wisdom... Religion..."
"I obey your wishes." Professor Plank bowed respectfully again to express his obedience.
Then...
Feng Wei heard a slight snore.
He raised his head blankly, and the corners of his mouth twitched crazily... It seemed that because of a few words and actions with his mentor, the old man known as the dean had exhausted all his strength and ended up sitting on the sofa like this.
Fell asleep!
"This...is our...imarch?"
Feng Wei asked in a low voice, dumbfounded.
"Shh, lower your voice! Don't disturb the Master to rest." Instructor Plank immediately silenced Feng Wei. After the old man seemed to be asleep, he looked at Feng Wei and sighed:
"Alas...the Immortal is old."
"But..." He changed the topic and whispered in Feng Wei's ear:
"The Immortal is one of the masters of the Wisdom Council, a proper semi-spiritual powerhouse."
Feng Wei opened his mouth, but no sound came out.
As if he was afraid of disturbing the dean's sleep, the mentor Plank pulled Feng Wei to the door, and after some distance away from the dean, he explained in detail:
"I told you that every council in Pandora has a chief position. The chief can participate in the central discussion group of the smart council to discuss issues. This is the highest authority in Pandora... and precisely because the participation location is in the smart council, so , the Wisdom Parliament is the most powerful parliament in Pandora.”
"The chief of the Punisher Council is directly called the chief, and the name has not changed. The chief of the Judgment Council is called the Justice for distinction, while the chief of the Guardian Council is called the Hermit... As for the chief of our Wisdom Council, then Called a master."
"The Immortal... is the only master of our Wisdom Religion. Alas... to be honest, our Wisdom Religion is getting weaker and weaker."
Feng Wei nodded, but he heard some details from his mentor's words, and asked in a low voice thoughtfully: "The difference between our religious order... and the Wisdom Council should be in the research field."
"You just said that our Wisdom Parliament...the Wisdom Religion is part of the Wisdom Parliament?"
The instructor nodded:
"That's right, hey... that's right. Our Wisdom Religion... According to the leader, we left Pandora's headquarters about three hundred years ago because we had different ideas from the Wisdom Council and had differences. Don’t leave. After the cult left, it worked with the federal government to establish the Federal Academy of Natural Sciences, which is also the origin of the Federal Academy of Natural Sciences.”
"The current Pandora Wisdom Council mainly studies the energy of the source of symbols and the language of the source of symbols, which is based on the research and development of the source of the symbols... But our wisdom church adheres to the same philosophy as always, believing that natural science can only It’s the future.”
This is the difference between natural science and extraordinary abilities. They are both research, but in different fields. Feng Wei finally understood.
From the current point of view, the Wisdom Council at Pandora headquarters is the mainstream, and the "Wisdom Council" that I joined, which is the Wisdom Religion, is a branch that is different from the mainstream philosophy.
"Of course, we also conduct some research on the energy of the symbol source, so we will also conduct some research on contractors and spirit puppets. However, the purpose of our research is different from the headquarters wisdom council. It is how to eliminate the energy source of the symbol...using science. means."
Professor Plank added.
Feng Wei nodded again, and finally put his hanging heart back into his stomach... No matter what, the Wisdom Religion is also a component of Pandora, and its philosophy is more in line with his own ideals. In other words, "Liu Yuhang's technology The ideal of "Empire" can undoubtedly be better realized in the Wisdom Order.
At least, the problems I was worried about are no longer problems.
In short, the Order of Wisdom still belongs to the Parliament of Wisdom in name, but has been squeezed out of Pandora's headquarters because its philosophy is contrary to Pandora's current situation of being controlled by contractors. The Order actually wants to replace the energy of the source of symbols through technical means and eliminate the contractors. ...Of course he will be rejected.
Being rejected, the Wisdom Order left Pandora's headquarters three hundred years ago and co-founded the Federal Academy of Natural Sciences with the federal government... The relationship between it and the federal government is both cooperative and competitive. This is precisely because everyone in this group once This aspect was discussed.
It can be seen that although the Federal Academy of Natural Sciences is also controlled by Pandora, the actual controller is the Wisdom Order... They are somewhat estranged from Pandora's headquarters, but they belong to the same organization as Pandora... It is very contradictory.
After thinking about it, Feng Wei sighed and asked:
"Our Wisdom Religion's research mainly focuses on the field of natural science, especially energy development... After all, the current electrical energy in the mainland is generated by Fuyuan energy, which was developed by the Wisdom Council."
Seeing the instructor nod, Feng Wei continued:
"So, the Wisdom Parliament now controls the energy lifeline of the continent. If we, the Wisdom Religion, want to replace it, we must start from this aspect... For this purpose, the Federal Academy of Natural Sciences is obsessed with the development of nuclear energy, and you... "We want to compete with Fuyuan Electric Power through hydropower and wind power."
"Hey... you are very smart. I saw you right." Professor Plank showed approval in his eyes and patted Feng Wei on the back.
Feng Wei had a weird look on his face, and asked: "But, I am a contractor. You absorbed me into the cult, and you expect me to use my contract ability to make achievements and help you research new energy methods to fight against the contract ability. The Fuyuan electric energy...isn’t this a bit contradictory?”
Professor Plank shook his head after hearing this:
"Child, your thinking is too narrow... What our Wisdom Religion advocates is only wisdom and science, and it will not be based on whether you are a contractor. Could it be that... Contractors can't believe in science?"
"Our standard is faith, not the identity of a contractor or an ordinary ironborn. Otherwise, how could the leader be a half-spirit and a contractor?"
You are sophistry... Feng Wei couldn't help but his eyebrows jumped wildly.
The essence is that, because the contractor believes in science, he ends up opposing his own existence... Isn't this a lunatic?
I have worked hard to believe in the Iron God all my life, but the Iron God said... You are not legal, you are a cancer that needs to be eliminated.
Plank saw that Feng Wei had a strange look on his face, but his face became serious and he solemnly reiterated:
"Wisdom is the most noble belief given to us by the Iron God; science is the ultimate way to answer the world."
Okay...you're right, you're all right, okay? Feng Wei had no choice but to nod in approval.
Plank then used his peripheral vision to look at the sleeping leader: "Contract ability must be exchanged at equal value. This is equivalent to signing a contract with the devil! The stronger the ability, the crazier it will be, and eventually slide into the abyss."
"Look at our respected patriarch. He is a contractor. His contract ability is a rare title of precision. His ability can control various instruments and the dosage of experimental samples very accurately. After reaching semi-spiritual level, He also gained the secondary ability of precise vision, through which he can directly observe the microscopic world."
What the hell...a human microscope? Feng Wei was immediately surprised.
Professor Plank continued to explain: "So, you can imagine that the dean's abilities are very suitable for chemistry and biology majors, and he is indeed a great chemist and biologist."
"However, as I said before, contract ability is like a demonic power. It helped the patriarch achieve great academic success and become the leading scholar of the Federal Academy of Natural Sciences, but at the same time, it allowed him to be exchanged for equal value. Controlling...him ultimately resulted in an uncontrollable emotional obsession.”
Feng Wei's heart moved and he asked: "What is the emotional obsession of the Master?"
Regarding emotional obsession, he heard everyone in the group popularize it.
Professor Plank sighed: "Yes... he tastes his own experimental products without restraint. Biologically speaking, it's okay, it's just a little disgusting, but chemical products are all preparations, and most of them are poisonous."
"As he grew older, he swallowed more and more chemicals because he was unable to resist his obsession, which caused the accumulation of toxins in his body, making him as weak as he is now... You should have seen it."
So that's it... Feng Wei suddenly realized, no wonder he looked so poisoned, as if he was going to die at any time.
"Otherwise, with the enhanced physical fitness of the contractor, the leader who has reached the semi-spiritual level can easily live over 100 years old. Alas...it is a pity that obsession is bound to exist, and few contractors can live a long life."
His ability is suitable for being a chemist, but his obsession is to taste the chemical reagents he has developed... This logic is weird and weird.
It's very similar to those weird science fiction anecdotes I heard in my previous life.
Just when Feng Wei was silent, the leader finally woke up again.
He stretched out his hand and waved to the two of them with difficulty.
Professor Plank led Feng Wei forward.
As he got closer, the religious elder cast his gaze on Feng Wei and taught him earnestly in the tone of a teacher, as if he was hysterically using up his remaining strength:
"Child, congratulations on...joining...the Order of Wisdom..., remember...the...iron god's...light of wisdom, and dedicate your life...to...science. "
Stop talking, stop talking... Feng Wei was suddenly a little moved, touched by the dean's persistence in the path of science. Of course, more than that, he was worried that the dying old man in front of him talked too much, so he tilted his neck. Pass away and live forever.
I don't know if he was under the subtle influence, but Feng Wei subconsciously imitated the particularly weak tone of the Immortal and swore:
"I will work hard!"
"Then...begin...the ceremony." The patriarch finally announced.
But as soon as he finished speaking, the old man fell asleep again.
After saying three sentences, he needed to sleep for fifteen minutes to recharge. Feng Wei had a strange association in his heart.
"Okay, I will assist with the ceremony."
Professor Plank next to him sighed and explained: "The ceremony is actually... very simple. You have to face the Iron God, pray sincerely, and let the Iron God wash your soul with the light of wisdom."
Feng Wei nodded.
Professor Plank continued: "It will last for three days and three nights. During these three days, you cannot eat, sleep, or drink water, and you must kneel down...in front of the Iron God."
When Feng Wei heard this, he could no longer maintain his expression, and the corners of his mouth twitched violently.
No wonder they said they had to endure pain, this...it was really painful for three days and three nights, including hunger, thirst, sleepiness, knee pain, and waist numbness.
At this moment, I don’t know if Plank’s voice was too loud, but the dean actually woke up after only three minutes of sleep. Seeing Feng Wei already kneeling on the futon, he reluctantly said:
"Let's start... facing the Iron God...'s remains."
Feng Wei was confused...the remains of the Iron God?
Isn’t the Iron God a special myth? Where did the remains come from?
The ritual repeated by the mentor and the leader again and again is to kneel down and worship "in front of the Iron God". Feng Wei always thought that what the two said was just a formality. After all... the Iron God does not exist.
Does God exist? Of course... in Feng Wei's knowledge, it is impossible.
On the continent of Rodinia, the Iron God whom the Ironmen believe in orally does not even have a specific form, let alone a substitute such as a statue.
Plank looked serious and said: "Feng Wei, you become a member of the Wisdom Religion. While bathing in the light of the Iron God's wisdom, you also have the right to worship the Iron God."
"The Iron God...is real. This secret is only in the hands of a very few people..." Plank saw the doubts on Feng Wei's face and quickly reminded:
"Don't show any doubt... The Iron God not only exists, but he is so great that he also left behind a holy body. Our Wisdom Order is one of the few organizations that holds the Iron God's body."
"Praise the Iron God!"
Seeing Plank's look in his eyes, Feng Wei had to immediately follow him and make a pious gesture of supporting his chest, shouting the same:
"Praise the Iron God!"
Seeing that Feng Wei's doubts had dissipated, Plank continued: "The Iron God's body is the crystallization of wisdom. It is a great existence that cannot be explained by any contract ability or science. It is a masterpiece of the combination of great power and wisdom that transcends reality. .”
"Now... let the ceremony begin. Facing the remains of the Iron God, pray devoutly and become a member of the Order of Wisdom."
After speaking, he walked directly in front of where Feng Wei was kneeling. In front of the wall, there was something covered by a white doctor's robe. From the outline, it could be seen that it was in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped, about the size of a television.
After entering the door, the focus was not here, and Feng Wei didn't pay attention to it.
Professor Plank directly lifted up the white cloth on the rectangular parallelepiped and shouted to Feng Wei: "Pay homage to the Iron God."
Feng Wei quickly prostrated himself, and only when he raised his head did he see what was inside.
Under the white cloth, there is something like a glass showcase. Inside the transparent and smooth glass is a head and a broken arm.
When Feng Wei saw the scene inside the showcase, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning. All the shocks of his two lifetimes were concentrated in this moment.
The head... The smooth and white shell forms the general outline of the human head. The face also simulates a nose and mouth similar to the shape of a human face. The eye sockets of the eyes are deeply sunken, and the gem-like eyeballs are still smooth and discernible after countless years. .
The arm is composed of several thick tubes similar to hydraulic telescopic devices to form a mechanical arm, and the same is true for the fingers...
This scene seems to have been seen in the movie Terminator...a mechanical head and mechanical arms.
Is this the remains of the Iron God?
! ! !
Feng Wei stared motionlessly at the metal head and arms in the glass window, completely forgetting to blink.
A broken...intelligent...robot?
This guy is really an "iron" god.
