Pollution throughout the territory

Xia Ren almost vomited out the bowl of porridge he just drank. He choked and coughed twice. He wiped his mouth and said, "Are you an immature person?"

"Not really."

Zhu Youqian said: "I just joined the Youth Club."

"What difference does that make."

"The difference is huge. I joined them just to obtain information, just like I joined other alien organizations."

Xia Ren raised his eyebrows: "Then you are a young man?"

Zhu Youqian denied: "No, I never provide anyone with information about other organizations, so I have never been exposed. All the information I collected is to protect the safety of me and my family."

"Then there's no need to go to this extent..."

It’s hard to imagine how he lives his daily life with so many identities, without getting confused?

wrong.

Xia Ren suddenly realized another point.

If Zhu Youqian has been keeping himself from being exposed, he must avoid appearing in situations where there are two organizations that he has joined at the same time, because both parties know him, and the secret is bound to be exposed.

But I heard from Yi Zhiyu last night that this wedding had invited members from the Ignorant Foundation and the Wizards Alliance, as well as various alien organizations.

In this way, isn't his approach inconsistent?

Xia Ren frowned and then recalled his request just now.

The answer to all his actions lies in the sentence just now.

Protect his family.

"What makes you so scared? That you would gather so many people related to pollution to your wedding even if you are exposed?"

Zhu Youqian did not answer his question directly, but asked: "How much do you know about the Immortal Society?"

Xia Ren was stunned and said: "I just know that this organization is relatively mysterious, and the members inside are in high positions, holding government power and huge social wealth."

"The contents are basically correct, but they are not detailed enough."

Zhu Youqian said: "According to my understanding, the members of the Youthful Association are actually not that simple. They include the top richest people in Blue Star, officials who stand at the top of the political power, from business giants to police inspectors. , state members of parliament, and justices of the Court of Arbitration...

They are the most cautious and timid group of people, but this group has the most power and money in the world, and the influence they can exert is beyond even my imagination. "

"They have been able to reach out to all aspects of human society, and there is no trace of what they want to do. This is why the Foundation has been unable to find even a single member of the Ageless Society."

"I wonder if you have ever thought about who has the ability to summon them?"

Xia Ren could only shake his head.

This has seriously exceeded his knowledge. He knows nothing about officials and business.

Zhu Youqian didn't show off, and said directly: "Behind the Ageless Society, there is another organization controlling them. That organization used the power of the old ruler named Glaki to promise them immortality, and the price was necessary. Sometimes, they have to be used by each other to accomplish something."

"I integrated all the information I knew and was able to barely know the identity of the leader of the organization. His name is Zhou Yuan. He was also a member of the foundation and was the apprentice of the Snake King, one of the twelve kings. However, there are no generals within the foundation. All information about him is sealed and only doctors have permission to read it."

"Zhou Yuan?"

Xia Ren felt that he was surprised more times today than last year.

Zhou Yuan... originally contacted him as Huang Qiuyuan, using his identity as a criminal expert in the police station.

Although I knew he was strong, I didn't expect him to be so strong.

But in retrospect, I found that the other party had actually shown some acceptable details, such as those spider silks. When the immortal moves, he will occasionally leave spider silk as traces.

Speaking of this person, Zhu Youqian's tone was full of uncertainty: "No one knows how strong he is, and no one knows what his purpose is, but I know what he is looking for."

"Zhou Yuan is mainly looking for two things. One of them is a place called the Secret Forest located in an unknown location in Xizhou."

"Secret forest?"

This was the first time Xia Ren heard this name.

Zhu Youqian immediately said something that made him unbelievable: "You should be familiar with the plague some time ago. In addition to atypical insect phobia, there were two other cases in the city of Essela and Dallas. There is no plague that has successfully spread. In addition, Star Color is actually a type of plague.

If I told you that Zhou Yuan was controlling all these plagues, would you believe it? "

"..." Xia Ren.

He was already lying down, and he wouldn't be surprised no matter what more exciting content Zhu Youqian said next.

"His purpose of causing plagues is not to exterminate mankind, and these plagues are all within his control. For example, atypical entomophobia, the main source is the larvae of the earth-boring devil bug, which is in the first instar state. Reproduction is restricted and parasitism cannot occur quickly and on a large scale, but if it reaches the second instar, there is no way to prevent their spread, and humankind will inevitably go extinct."

Speaking of this, Xia Ren recalled that on the night when the plague broke out in Dongpu City, it did happen that the larvae entered the second instar and then married and flew together. However, the second batch of larvae disappeared inexplicably soon. Never appeared again.

Unexpectedly, he was eliminated by Zhou Yuan himself.

Xia Ren asked in confusion: "Then what is his purpose of doing this?"

Zhu Youqian replied: "It is just to cause chaos. To cause government turmoil through the large-scale spread of the plague, so as to find out the hidden location of the secret forest."

Xia Ren still didn't understand.

Zhu Youqian continued: "In that secret forest, there is a secret that the Supreme Alliance Government has unified the world and maintained for thousands of years. The politicians who stand at the top that people see now are actually all puppets. In fact, It is not they who control the direction of human society.”

"..." Xia Ren.

"As of half a month ago, no one in this world had ever entered that secret forest."

"So it's available now?"

"Yes." Zhu Youqian nodded and said, "Zhou Yuan has already gone in. You should know Cang Lan. She was once a grade A investigator of the Foundation. She later defected from the Foundation and joined the Wizards Alliance. After that, She has been missing ever since."

"I know this. The contained object named [Snake God] in Canglan is actually the former Snake King." After saying so much, Xia Ren finally knew one thing.

"Yes. The twelve kings of the foundation have extraordinary origins. They know the location of the secret forest, but it is almost impossible to ask them from them. Although I don't know Zhou Yuan's specific plan, it is very large. Maybe, Canglan's disappearance is related to him, and he has already learned the location of the secret forest from the Snake King through some method, and achieved his desired goal."

"What purpose?" Xia Ren asked.

Zhu Youqian shook his head: "I don't know."

Xia Ren thought for a while: "You just said that Zhou Yuan wants to find two things. The secret forest is the same, what is the other one?"

Zhu Youqian said: "It is a book that was once stored on the 18th floor of the foundation headquarters and was personally guarded by the doctor."

All the clues were finally connected, and Xia Ren suddenly realized: "The book is in your hands, so you are afraid that Zhou Yuan will be detrimental to you?"

"Yes, I will not give that book to someone like Zhou Yuan, so if the other party wants it, there is no other possibility except killing me."

Xia Ren still felt that something was wrong: "Then what does this have to do with your wedding? You have gathered so many people now, what if the other party doesn't come during this time?"

"He will definitely come during this time."

Zhu Youqian didn't know why, but his tone was very sure: "Ten days ago, the Youthful Association held another meeting, but this time they didn't notify me. I already had a premonition that Zhou Yuan knew what I cared about and what I thought. But he doesn't care."

Xia Ren was silent for a while and said, "Do you know what I want to do most right now?"

Zhu Youqian looked at him and said nothing.

Xia Ren said: "I really want to run away directly. Facing such an enemy, I don't think things will turn around as long as I'm here. It's nothing more than giving away one more head."

Zhu Youqian sighed, but still didn't speak.

Xia Ren raised his head irritably: "Forget it, I promised you to protect your family anyway. If I can't beat you then, I will just hold your wife and run away."

Zhu Youqian's eyes were sincere: "Thank you."

After he left, Xia Ren turned to look at Qin Yun.

Although she hasn't opened her mouth yet, Qin Yun already knows what he wants to say.

"Speaking of which, our house hasn't been cleaned for a long time."

Qin Yun said with a smile: "After attending the wedding, let's go back and stay for two days. We are always running around, and we must have a place to stay."

The home she was talking about was the house in Jupiter City.

Xia Ren nodded, hesitated and said, "After breakfast, I'll tell Zhu Youqian and ask him to arrange to send you and Lu Yi back together."

"Um."

Qin Yun looked a little silent as she lowered her head to pick up her rice.

…

…

Two days later.

The mansion was bustling with activity. Tiansiyuan's family belonged to a well-established and famous family, and Zhu Youqian was a business tycoon. There were thousands of guests from all over the world who came to congratulate him. This was still a restricted situation, otherwise it would be even worse. exaggerate.

Fortunately, Tiansiyuan's old house is relatively large, so it doesn't seem crowded.

Qin Yun and Lu Yi have already sent away, and Xia Ren left Lily with him, feeling somewhat safe.

In terms of strength alone, Lily should be stronger than him.

"I hope nothing happens."

They were sitting on chairs, and far away, they were the newlyweds slowly walking towards the auditorium.

The surroundings were bustling with activity, and the wedding was as low-key as possible. However, both parties were not ordinary families, so some aspects were unavoidable.

There were hundreds of photographers recording the wedding process, divided into several teams, taking pictures from various angles. Even when shooting a movie, it was not so exaggerated.

The whole morning was spent in a lively atmosphere without anything happening.

In the afternoon, some of the guests drank wine while eating, so the atmosphere was even more lively than in the morning.

The wedding will last two days and most of them will be staying here tonight.

After the banquet and a short rest, today's wedding entered the second half.

Maybe it's because of his outstanding appearance, or maybe it's because of the surrounding atmosphere, but many people have come to chat with Xia Ren today.

He rejected all these women who were only interested in his own skin.

Just when Xia Ren had just gotten rid of another woman and wanted to find a quiet place to stay, he suddenly felt that the sun seemed to be dimming.

He looked up to the sky.

I saw a huge cloud slowly drifting over from a distance.

The weather is very good today, there is plenty of sunshine, and even the clouds and fog on Fushi Mountain do not appear. The clouds in front of us seem a bit abrupt.

It is pure white, not obviously different from the clouds that can be seen in the sky in the past, but its shape is slightly special. I don't know whether it is a coincidence or something else. It looks like a pair of open white wings.

Looking at the cloud, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated uncontrollably, and a strong palpitation appeared inexplicably.

He looked around, trying to find Zhu Youqian, but he saw the photographers responsible for shooting the wedding.

All the photographers have the same expression and the same action at this time.

With faint smiles on their faces, like devout believers, they raised the lenses in their hands and pointed them at the cloud in the sky.

…

…

At the same time, all connected electronic devices with display functions in the world, whether they are mobile phone screens, computers, TVs, large screens in theaters, advertising screens in commercial plazas, smart refrigerators, smart watches, car central control screens, game consoles, The console of the machining lathe... No matter what role these devices originally played or what they were playing, everything stopped at this time.

All the screens were briefly garbled, and then started playing again.

In the picture, there is a cloud.

This sudden change immediately plunged the entire society into chaos.

All live broadcasts were interrupted, all TV stations were going crazy, and no one understood what was happening.

But no matter what they are doing, whether they are anxious, anxious, indifferent, curious, angry... everyone's eyes are always attracted to the screen unconsciously.

…

…
