Chapter 504: Universal Love
Jinling City, Shanhefang.
A five-story building made of black bricks and stones stands in the corner of Fang District. There are no gaps in the bricks and stones on the exterior of the building, and it is seamless. The gate is narrow and high, and looks like an erected inkstone from a distance.
The forward eaves of the door blocked out the sunlight, causing the door to be completely dark. There was a chilling coldness in the solemnity, which seemed to swallow up everyone who dared to enter.
In the culture of the Ming Empire, black was regarded as the "Tianxuan" in "Tianxuan and Dihuang", which is the color of the sky.
In the Mo sequence, black is the representative of Mohist orthodoxy and the best embodiment of the concept of 'universal love'.
This is the Jian Ai Institute under Mo Xu's central branch, a place that frightens all those who follow Mo Xu.
Ta, Ta, Ta
Zou Sijiu. No, his name should be Yin Ying now. He walked up the long steps and walked proudly into the door of Jianai Institute.
High-heeled clogs tapped against the shiny black floor tiles, and the crisp sound echoed in the five-foot-high hall.
Zou Sijiu walked with great fanfare and swaying, his face was full of undisguised indifference and arrogance, and there was no hint of any guilt in trying to occupy a magpie's nest.
A red light with a sense of scrutiny swept across his facial features. After confirming that there was no abnormality, the metal human faces embedded in the pillars of the hall were taken back into his eyes.
Ever since he had the ink armor that guarded the spiritual realm, Zou Sijiu had become more and more comfortable in sneaking into this kind of thing.
Zou Sijiu stood on the center line of the Jianai Institute hall and looked around. He could see investigators wearing black plain robes like him everywhere, both men and women, but without exception they all walked in a hurry, and no one paid attention to him at all.
Even the vague wailing sound floating in the air, these people have obviously been used to it for a long time, and they are busy minding their own things.
"It's really interesting that a group of people who were born as blacksmiths, instead of just swinging hammers around the stove, imitated Confucianism and studied how to deal with their own people."
"Hurry up and do your work. If you don't feel disgusted with this face, I feel bad!"
Being scolded by the cold female voice that sounded in his heart, Zou Sijiu smiled indifferently and stepped into a sedan elevator on the left side of the hall.
When the copper scale in the car ladder slides from the "one" scale position to the "four" mark, the car door opens again.
What appeared in front of Zou Sijiu was a wide corridor also paved with black marble. On both sides were closed doors. The material was neither gold nor stone. A line of dark green fonts was projected in front of the door.
[Serious Case Investigation Room—Room 1]
[Serious Case Investigation Room—Room 2]
There are as many as ten rooms like this.
At the deepest part of the corridor, there is a huge door that is more than twice as wide as an ordinary door. The text projected on it indicates that this is the office of the head of the serious crime investigation room of the Kenai Institute.
"There are quite a few tricks."
Zou Sijiu sneered and pushed open the door marked [Wu Room].
According to the information provided by Liang Huo, Yin Ying, who was responsible for tracking and investigating him, was an investigator affiliated with [Wu Shi].
The atmosphere behind the door is not as cold and quiet as the corridor, but rather lively.
Half of the more than ten workstations were filled with people, and black wires hung from the ceiling and were connected to their brains.
The closed eyelids of these people are constantly shaking, and it is not difficult to see that the eyeballs behind them are shaking at high speed.
They were monitoring various Huangliang dreams inside Mo Xu, while the person responsible for taking over was sitting nearby and dozing off, racing against time to take a rest.
According to the regulations of the Jianai Institute, this kind of surveillance cannot be interrupted for twelve hours. Without adequate rest during such high-intensity work, it is easy for people's consciousness to get lost in Huangliang's dream. Or the Yellow Liang ghost will take advantage of it and turn you into a fool.
Zou Sijiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. With Yin Ying's level and status, he didn't have to work like a cow with these low-level investigators, doing such hard work.
Otherwise, he really has to consider giving up his current identity, squatting at the door of the Jianai House, and trying to find a way to get a new 'body' for use.
"Yin Ying, you're back? How's it going? Did you gain anything?"
The man who spoke was Yin Ying's colleague in the 'Five Room', and he was also a project officer of Mo Xuqi.
"What else can I do? I'm being scolded as bloody as ever."
Hearing this, Zou Sijiu rolled his eyes and said angrily: "I really don't understand why the higher ups still keep a waste like Liang Huo. Lord Chi is already dead, and the other fugitives have no contact with him either. Will they?" The possibility of contacting him is slim. Logically speaking, Liang Huo is no longer valuable, why should we just deal with him? "
Such a human expression appeared on that stiff fake face, which made the man stunned.
He felt that Yin Ying seemed a little strange today, but he couldn't pinpoint the specific strangeness.
Zou Sijiu also noticed the confusion in the other party's expression at this moment, and once again complained about Li Jun in his heart.
It's all because of this reckless man who punched Yin Ying's head to pieces, leaving him no place to understand the other person's behavior patterns and speaking habits in the Jianai Center.
Otherwise, with my own infiltration ability, how could such a low-level omission occur?
But fortunately, the man did not think about it further. Quan thought that Yin Ying was so angry that he shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Liang Huo is not that simple. Not only did he know Chi Zhu when he was young, but Chi Zhu has been contacting him in the Huangliang dream through a fake identity over the years. Those traitors who have a close relationship with Chi Zhu are likely to know Liang Huo. If they want to avenge Chi Zhu, there is a high probability that they will find Liang Huo.
The man paused: "You know these situations, so don't say these angry words anymore. Be careful that the director will hear you and scold you again."
"Well, I know, thank you for reminding me. "
Zou Sijiu took advantage of the situation to restore Yin Ying's cold expression, leaving only a trace of resentment in the corner of his eyes, and moved closer to the man, saying with a little grievance: "I was also angry with Liang Huo. Every time I went to investigate, he not only refused to cooperate, but also mocked me. If it weren't for the strict order from the higher-ups to prohibit the use of torture on him, I would have taken him back to Jianai Office long ago. "
"Despicable."
As soon as the voice fell, Shou Yu's disgusted curse sounded in Zou Sijiu's mind.
"It's normal for people in our line of work to suffer a little grievance. But Yin Ying, don't worry, as long as the higher-ups give the order, you don't have to do it, I will personally catch Liang Huo and bring him back, and let him know what the consequences of offending our Jianai Office are!"
A lewd smile appeared on the man's face, and he raised his hand to hold Zou Sijiu's shoulders.
"Despicable!"
Zou Sijiu also cursed in his heart, pushed the other's arm away without a trace, and showed a grateful look on his face: "Thank you so much. "
"We are all colleagues in the same department. It's too polite for you to say that."
The man smiled and retracted his arm, but he seemed unwilling to end the conversation with Zou Sijiu. After all, there were not many women in Mo Xu, and women who worked in Jianai Institute were even rarer. Although the face of this 'Yin Ying' was not original, under this circumstance, there was no condition to be picky.
He glanced around and saw that no one was paying attention here, so he simply pulled a chair and sat next to Zou Sijiu.
"This bastard, it seems that he is really fucking hungry."
Zou Sijiu complained in his heart, but asked softly: "Is there anything else?"
"It's not a big deal. I just heard some news recently. I wonder if you are interested in listening, Yin Ying?"
"Of course I am interested. "
Zou Sijiu, who was worried about where to get the news, smiled when he heard this.
The man leaned his head over and said in a low voice: "Yin Ying, have you ever thought about why even Chi Zhu, a third-ranked Ming Gui, died at the hands of our Central Branch, but the higher-ups still attach so much importance to the remaining Ming Gui who defected, and asked us to monitor the suspicious people related to them for twelve hours without interruption?"
Fuck, he's still keeping us in suspense.
Zou Sijiu resisted the urge to pull the other party into a dream, pretending to be confused and asked: "Why?"
"Because in this arrest operation, Vice President Meng Xi and the research team he led all died in the Japanese area. I heard that they were buried in the sea, and even their bodies have not been found yet!"
"What?"
Zou Sijiu was horrified: "Is it true?"
"Of course it's true, otherwise how could Vice President Liu Xianzhou be qualified to be in charge of our Jianai Institute and Shangxian Institute, these two key departments? "
The man was very satisfied with Zou Sijiu's reaction and said while patting his chest.
Zou Sijiu also knew something about the internal organizational structure of Moxu.
Before the "divide the world into martial arts", the followers of the entire Moxu were all led by "Juzi", and Juzi Hall and its elders' council were undoubtedly the highest leadership bodies. His position in Moxu was even more stable than the current Confucian New Donglin Party and Taoist Baiyujing.
But after the death of the previous Juzi, no successor who could convince the public appeared.
In addition, because of the martial arts order at that time, Moxu was targeted by other forces, and there were heavy casualties in the order. There was a huge disagreement in the elders' council on whether to continue to support the martial arts order, and the entire Moxu was therefore split into five independent branches.
And the five branches still follow the original organizational structure, and each has its own functional departments.
For example, the Shangxian Academy responsible for talent cultivation and recruitment, the Jianai Institute responsible for internal investigations, the Non-Public Academy responsible for research on weapons development, and the Institute responsible for research on the effects of audio on the human body and The non-music academy under the influence of spirit.
Even the Minggui Realm without entity is divided into five, with deep barriers between them, and each is responsible for the activation and use of its own Minggui.
The only thing that can still be shared is probably a few permanent dreams that were set up at the beginning of the establishment of the Huangliang Dream.
In addition to the five branches of Juzi Hall, Moxu has also derived some folk organizations that are out of the jurisdiction of Juzi Hall in recent decades.
Among them, the most famous is the Tianzhi Society where Zhao Qingxia once worked.
And the attitudes of the five branches towards these folk organizations are also different.
Among them, the Central Branch is the most hardline opposition, and one of the functions of its "Jianai Institute" is to track and crack down on these "unorthodox" organizations.
The Eastern Branch is the most tolerant of the five branches. It is enough to see that Zhao Qingxia, who has the background of Tianzhi Society, can join it.
In addition to these two types of orthodox and unorthodox organizations, the remaining ones are free Moxu like Lianghuo who does not rely on anyone and does not follow anyone.
