The venue was a little quiet for a while.
A considerable number of people need to adjust their mentality in time - there are many people who have seen the Secret Covenant Lord's proposal. They also viewed the exchange between the Secret Covenant Lord and Ronan as a lively event. The impact is not really strong.
After all, they have experienced many similar scenes.
In recent years, both the ethereal world and the secular world have been conducting in-depth discussions and even attacking each other around the issue of distortion. Some people say that distortion is continuing to deepen, while others say that the situation is getting better. Public opinion is right, mother-in-law is right. There is never a clear winner or loser.
Including the group of extraordinary people present, most of them still regard the issue of "distortion" as a "politicized manipulation of academic issues." All year round, they wish they could say "distortion is out of control" every day, which is nothing more than fighting for resources and guidance. Direction - from top to bottom, that's basically how it's been done over the years, it's become a routine.
But at this time, someone suddenly said, "The wolf is really coming"... Even if the bloody mouth of the evil wolf has been attached to the face, we still have to allow everyone to rub their eyes, right?
Since Ronan arrived at the venue, most people's attention was diverted for the first time to Apollyon, the talented strongman who calls himself the "Messenger of Hell."
In fact, if Ronan hadn't created too many explosive topics in the past few hours, Apollyon's participation in the summit meeting should have become a big flashpoint.
This young extraordinary man was born in the New World. He has been involved in gang organizations since he was a child. He has rich experience, ruthless methods, countless enemies, and is unrivaled. He once founded the secret sect "Doomsday" , revered as the "Holy Son", well, maybe the "Son of Satan"?
The name is not important, what is important is that he is a true awakened talent, so "talented" that no one knows when he became a transcendent species!
Apollyon's highest "achievement" so far is to unite the gangs, vagrants and other messy guys in the New World, and use chaotic means to effectively control the Eagle City in the south-central part of the New World, and rename it "Armageddon" , the legendary battlefield of the Doomsday War, referred to as "Harbin City". That is also the world-famous "Sin City" - the Star Alliance Committee even pinched their noses to admit it.
Maybe it's not much better there to begin with?
It may also be that the Lord of the Secret Contract made a battle "in time" and won the battle, and put the reins on him.
In any case, Apollyon himself is the top transcendent species in the inner world, and in the secular world, he is also a world-famous great devil and dictator, with countless haters and countless fans!
The announcement made here by the great consul of Harbin is no different from a formal administrative order. Regardless of the reality of the infection rate or the subsequent course of action, the participants with basic social governance knowledge were left speechless.
Host Abner was also startled. He is one of the most powerful people in the world and is good at using power. The information he possesses is at a higher level than most people present.
He knew something about the situation in Ha City, but he never expected that Apollyon would speak out so openly. Moreover, the data exposed was much worse than what he knew.
For this reason, Abner had to bite the bullet and make a confirmation: "Mr. Apollyon, this is a very serious matter, although this is not the parliament or the executive branch..."
Apollyon drooped his eyelids and ignored him at all, as if he came to the meeting today just to say the above words.
Abner wanted to say something more, but then another voice came from somewhere behind the Secret Contract Master: "Mr. President, may I say a few words?"
"..." Abner looked through and saw the Bat Master, one of the three extraordinary species in the Old World subcontinent.
This skinny middle-aged man, who looks like an ascetic monk, is sitting in Xicheng. Facing the southern part of the subcontinent that has been almost completely reduced to wilderness after the Third World War, he continues to open up wasteland. At the same time, he has to defend against the Vatican City in the north, Master Demu and Shakal. The two extraordinary beings who dreamed of unifying the subcontinent lived a difficult life, but they had perseverance and ability.
Therefore, many people believe that the 9 spades ranking given to him by "The Deck" is somewhat underestimated.
Abner naturally had no reason to disapprove, but he smiled bitterly in his heart. At this time of year, I'm afraid...
As expected, Master Bat's face was cold, his words were concise, and his expressions were clear: "Currently, the aberration infection is also out of control in Xicheng. Our detection rate has exceeded 8%. In fact, it is limited by detection capabilities. The actual situation is only It could be worse."
The stiff and numb atmosphere in the venue had a tendency to loosen, but there was a "crackling" sound of burning.
Everyone knows that the ability to detect aberrant infections is the same in Xicheng, Harbin, or the whole world. The huge and extremely critical second-stage infected people are very important to the detection of aberrant infections in major cities. Technology and financial resources are both cruel tests.
That's not all.
Master Bat did not finish his speech. He looked across the central round table and stared at someone on the side: "Not only Xicheng, but also Brahma City, maliciously used red tide and other phenomena to attack Xicheng's defense line, but the methods were crude and terrible. Shakkar, Demu and others took advantage of administrative and religious conveniences to improperly promote the 'aberration', calling it the 'test of Brahma', which became a trend in the subcontinent. The infection level in Brahma City was only higher than that in Xicheng. "
"Just talking nonsense!"
Today, Master Demu, who has a lotus-tongued tongue in Brahma City, did not arrive for some reason. Only Shakhar, known as the "Master of Breathing", came. Although this person is good at breathing and exhaling, he is really not good at speaking. He replied dryly and said nothing more.
Believe it or not, the extraordinary beings present at the meeting can make their own judgments, and there is no need to rely on others. But at this time, someone discovered that from just now, the most active people in the field were almost in a row.
This is roughly where Abner is opposite, with the Secret Covenant Lord and Ronan in the middle, and the Blood Demon and Apollyon on both sides. It makes people think:
Do these people have any tacit understanding?
At this moment, the Lord of the Secret Covenant slightly turned his gaze, bypassing Apollyon on the left, and looked towards the other seat. He didn't speak, but the person he was looking at, the Black Lion, had an unpleasant expression. From that face, one could read something like "The pot came from the sky."
But right now, he couldn't get over this topic even if he pretended to be crazy and acted stupid. In the end, he had to spread his hands and said: "Don't look at me, you all know what's going on over there."
That's right, it's already out of control over there.
The "tacit connection" area seems to continue to extend.
At this time, the Lord of the Secret Contract took the initiative to stop. He turned around to ask Ronan for his opinion: "If you continue talking, are you going to go off topic?"
When Apollyon and others spoke one after another to confirm, Ronan was a little "distracted", and the Lord of Secret Covenant called his attention back. He smiled:
"I don't understand much about aberrations. But it's never just a natural phenomenon or biological problem. Add some sociological discussion... Well, there should be a warning."
The blood demon gave him a thumbs up.
Ronan rolled his eyes back.
"That's exactly what it should be." The Lord of Secret Contract covered the information in his hand on the virtual desktop, "Having said that, I am also sorry that in order to pursue the so-called 'objectivity', the issue text did not elaborate on it in a practical sense.
"Of course, when forming the text, I did have the intention of deliberately 'simplifying'. Otherwise, I am afraid that this issue will need to be discussed more carefully and require wider participation, and the accuracy can be improved... But if that happens , there’s just not enough time.”
The Lord of the Secret Contract looked around, taking his time and making eye contact with almost every extraordinary person in the room. From this moment on, he completely took away Abner's role as host and changed the topic of the meeting to the direction he wanted.
"The rising trend line is the reality reflected in the data; the loss of control in Harbin, Xicheng, and Central and Southern Africa is the reality of social governance... But they are not comprehensive.
"There are many people at the conference, and it can still be said that the loopholes in the defense line in relatively backward and chaotic areas are nothing. After all, the current situation of city-state autonomy and the restriction of population mobility prevent the dilemma of two or three nodes from affecting the entire human society. The big picture.
"I don't want to refute this. After all, this is a complex social governance issue. It is more appropriate to leave it to more professional people to handle. There should be someone on the scene who has more headaches than me.
"However, the rising trend line still has other effects, affecting us, a group of ability users like us - and there are no lines of defense or nodes, because it directly affects us."
Wanliuhua, who had been sitting quietly in the area directly behind him, almost immediately after the end of the Secret Contract Lord, spoke at the right time: "Since mid-to-late January, the fourth phase of the 'Fighter' project that I have hosted has awakened the physical side. There are 7 people awakening, and the probability of awakening has increased by 600% compared to the same period last year. Of course, this is also because only 1 person awakened last year, and the success rate is too low.
"But from January to April, it is indeed the period when the number of awakened people is the largest since the establishment of the 'Fighter' project, and its frequency of appearance even exceeds the original 'Golden Phase'. At the same time, in the collaborative project with the military AB group, The new round of experiments has a good chance of helping a Burner become an extraordinary species, and the results will be available in the first half of the year..."
"Is it Tian Bang?" someone asked.
Wan Liuhua did not say anything clearly, but simply concluded: "Compared with the previous three periods, our training methods have improved, but they are not decisive. We must consider the influence of the external environment."
"Isn't this a good thing?" Mullen, the first vice president of the association, joked to the blood demon, "It's the release date of the new version of "The Deck". If we have to push it back... will we be able to turn around the funds?"
The blood demon responded with "hehe".
The Lord of the Secret Contract tapped his fingertips on the table, just like in the real world.
Amidst the knocking sound of "Dudu", he said softly: "The good side is this, but the spiritual side that is more closely connected with the Yuan District environment, especially the spiritual side of architects and above, seems not so ideal. …Do you really have no feelings?”
Mullen subconsciously opened his mouth, but did not make a sound. He turned to look at Abner next to him. Without getting a clear prompt, he looked at Constance who was looking at another person.
The latter's head and face were still covered under the hood, and nothing could be seen, but his long and slender fingers were subconsciously entangled and intertwined, and the speed was getting faster and faster.
Mullen pursed his lips.
Just listen to the Master of the Secret Contract say at his usual speaking speed: "Since January 1st, more than 70 people of architects and above have suffered backlash from the Abyss Zone during regular practice. The most troubles occurred when experiencing the turbulent interference in the Abyss Zone. The most obvious, followed by the 'out-of-body' attempt. In addition...Professor Luo, Lao You has not been in good health recently?"
Ronan spent half a second to match "Lao You" with "Lao You" and nodded silently.
"Psychics are too keen, and their body structure is relatively fragile, so they are indeed easily affected. Also, Morgana, on your side..."
Who is Morgana?
Ronan was just wondering when he saw the death witch's gloomy and miserable eyes coming towards him.
Oh, it's this one.
The dead witch didn't speak, but in this situation, not speaking was the default.
If the architect's training data is still a bit far-fetched from You Lao's side, it will be really different in nature when the Death Witch comes to seal it as a transcendent species.
Noise gradually arose in the venue.
During this period, someone asked another question. It was Mou Zhengye Mou Dong who was sitting diagonally across from Luo Nan, on the side of the vacant Pope's seat in Baiji: "The Lord has been emphasizing the node of January 1st because..."
"Because of the polar light."
The Lord of Secret Contract answered matter-of-factly, while Ronan's eyelids twitched slightly. However, what the Lord of the Secret Contract said was not the same as what Ronan immediately associated with him.
"The first polar light occurred in the early 1950s. To be precise, it should be in 1952?" The Lord of the Secret Contract also asked others for their opinions.
The only people at the scene who could respond to him were Abner and the Dead Witch.
The dead witch looked at him coldly, but Abner nodded: "It was 52 years. It's just that the world was not yet mature at that time, and the cultivation of ability users had just begun. Not many people could sense it, and almost none were alive."
Speaking of this, Abner glanced at Ronan subconsciously. Gong Qi, a direct experiencer in the past, was erased by this person.
The Lord of the Secret Contract nodded slightly: "Since then, from my personal experience, the earth has become more and more suitable for cultivation. It is not just because everyone has free time after the war... Another seven or eight years have passed. Time, 59 years, right? In 59 years, Morgana and you psychics discovered the Abyss first, and then people like me also touched it."
The dead witch's stiff, wrinkled face twitched. For her, that was definitely not a good memory.
The Lord of the Secret Contract also sighed: "It's so amazing. Why is there such a level and form of power? It easily swallows up ignorant people, but pushes us to open the limit of the human body - it has always existed. And are we ignorant, or will it only then complete primitive accumulation and truly appear?”
