Abandoned industrial area in Isati City.

“Ahhhh—”

While cleaning up the abandoned industrial area in the city of Isati, Lisa Kane, a young Sarkic member of the White Worm Secret Order, looked palely at the people around her who were burning in blue data flames and wailing in pain on the ground.

The azure data flames were like layers of overlapping block-like patterns, like codes from another dimension, constantly spreading and burning on people's bodies.

The flames were not deadly, but the pain they caused was very real.

Data flames danced on the skin, and each block had a cold, biting burning and dreamy feeling.

People's muscles twitched in the flames, and their skin was wrapped in layers of blue flames, as if they were cut by countless tiny blades.

The eyes of those who were burned were filled with fear and pain, and their mouths uttered desperate cries, the harsh sounds echoing in the empty industrial area.

The female forensic doctor's heart beat faster and she could hardly bear the scene before her.

The painful expressions and twisted limbs made her feel nauseous and terrified.

Her hands were shaking, her steps were involuntarily taking a step back, her heart filled with a desire to escape from this place.

She wanted only to return to the Carpathians, to the old ways of Solomonism, where at least there was a sense of stable order and security.

But he didn't dare. The intimidation brought to her by that terrifying blond young man was so strong that she didn't dare to seize the opportunity to escape even though there was a lot of space and loopholes.

To put it bluntly, she was a wimp.

Moreover, there is a modified [Behemoth] in her body. Although it seems that there is nothing wrong with her body now, who knows what will happen in the future.

As a flesh-and-blood female priest, she would not bet that the other party modified [Behemoth] to help her promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis.

Lisa now understands how unfeasible the new-age left-wing radical ideas of the tomb robber Mike Sabo - "force creates the first generation of slaves, and the slaves' cowardice makes them slaves for life" - are.

Their "powerful political program" based on hedonism, which is mainly guided by the discussion of natural laws and force, social contracts and man-made laws, has fatal problems.

The current mainstream thinking of the White Worm Secret Society is that the law of nature is that the strong dominate the weak, and that strength itself is a kind of justice.

In the state of nature, it is natural and right for the strong to obtain what they want through strength and ability.

Advocate natural justice, that is, the strong should use their advantages to rule and realize their desires, and should not be bound by the laws and morals of society.

They believe that society's laws and morals are made by the weak to limit and control the natural power of the strong.

Through these artificial rules, the weak are able to protect themselves from being dominated by the strong.

However, these rules go against the laws of nature, and the strong should not be bound by these hypocritical moral concepts and laws, but should pursue their nature and will to power.

At the same time, the White Worm Esoteric Order also combined the morality and contemporary characteristics of the Sarkic faction to develop a hedonistic ideology that is in line with the characteristics of the White Worm Esoteric Order.

He advocates a hedonistic outlook on life and believes that the pursuit of happiness and the satisfaction of desires are the highest goals of life.

The strong have the ability to realize their desires, so their lives are the most worth pursuing.

He criticized the traditional Sarkic ascetic lifestyle, believing that they suppressed natural desires and pleasures and distorted the essence of life.

Each of these three laws is full of the flavor of "Atlasism", but when put together, they become a mess.

[Atlasism] is an absolute meritocracy.

As long as people reach adulthood, they "should" be their own masters, make decisions based on their own will, and act according to their own will.

This is the basic meaning of freedom in a contractual society.

When dealing with others, transactions can only be made when both parties agree.

This is called an engagement or contract.

So agreement is nothing more than a manifestation of freedom.

So, agreement is freedom!

At the same time, for their own safety and interests and to defend the sanctity of the agreement, people will voluntarily give up some of their freedom and rights and obey a common authority, that is, a social contract in which order and security are maintained by laws and governments.

In a contractual society, freedom is regarded as the basis of political legitimacy, which is a consensus in Terra's modern thought.

It’s just that this consensus has not yet spread to all of humanity, and perhaps it will never be spread to all of humanity.

A powerful sovereign with absolute power to enforce laws and maintain social order.

The sovereign's authority derives from the social contract and is therefore legitimate.

But when the sovereign finds that his authority no longer needs to explain its legitimacy to the people who have ceded their freedom.

They found that the people were too "stupid" and had no will to fight.

Therefore, they no longer need to be given freedom.

They just need to give authority.

In the context of no extraordinary quantification, a common contract is concluded and an organization or government is formed to manage society. The state is the executor and formulator of the social contract.

In the extraordinary quantified Terra, the group of thaumaturges standing at the top of the extraordinary are the main framers of the social contract and have far more judgment power than ordinary groups.

[Atlasism] recognizes this freedom and authority, and hopes that this freedom and authority will be firmly grasped by the absolute elite class. The extraordinary quantification of Terra has given them the opportunity to materialize it.

[Financial Street] is one of the manifestations of this awareness.

But the [power politics] of the White Worm Secret Order is not a variation of this consciousness. The world they hope to create is even more extreme and terrifying than the world that [Atlasism] wants to create.

It is a world without free will.

A world where everything is enslaved by absolute ranchers.

They already have the technical support methods to maintain this powerful idea, but Lisa doesn't know what their technical support methods are yet.

But she knew that if this technical support method was not strong enough, it would not be able to resist another fatal programmatic dilemma, that is - the impact from another powerful person, the more powerful and fatal attack from superhuman morality.

When she first started pursuing the White Worm Cult, she didn't think that this fantastical program could be realized. She believed that the White Worm Cult would show reformism.

But now she can't see reformism.

Now some people have begun to completely deny the left-wing radical ideas of the White Worm Secret Society, a total denial coming from another powerful person.

“Ahhh—”

The data flames in front of us are still burning, and people’s wailing is still echoing.

Lisa Kane stood there, silently placing the various clues and information about the human body trade that she had just found from the human bone factory on a simple wooden table.

Her fingers gently slid across each document, feeling the cold paper and the intricate information on it. Her eyes were fixed on the information, and she felt a wave of uneasiness in her heart.

"All those involved in this have been cleared out. It can be said that the situation in Isati City is basically going to change." Lisa murmured to herself while clicking her lips.

The information on the table detailed the backgrounds of the four major families in Isati City and their connections with the human body trade.

The first piece of information was about the Grant family, a family whose main business was financial investment and banking, and which controlled a large amount of wealth and resources.

Through complex financial operations, they provide financial support to the human bone factory to ensure its smooth operation.

The second document introduces the Harvey family, which dominates the legal and political fields of Island City.

Members of the Harvey family hold various important political and legal positions, providing legal cover and political protection for the human body trade. They are one of the official umbrellas in the gray area.

The third piece of information is about the Moore family, which is mainly involved in high-tech and innovative industries.

They use advanced technology to provide technical support for human body trade, including bone processing technology, logistics tracking technology, etc., to ensure that every transaction can be completed efficiently.

The last piece of information is from the Burton family, which is the largest land and property developer in the island city.

They provide hidden trading places and secret warehouses for the human body trade through land and real estate transactions, allowing these illegal activities to be carried out without being discovered.

These intricate messages are deeply connected with the four major families. If we want to clear up these knots, there will surely be a river of blood.

and……

This is just the tip of the iceberg of the human body trade, and there are even larger interest groups behind it.

"We can't kill all these people..."

Lisa Kane held a copy of the Burton family real estate document with a red circle marked on it. Her eyes wandered over the densely packed text and intricate clues, and she felt her scalp tingling.

Just as she was whispering to herself, a gentle voice sounded from behind her.

"Whether to kill or not depends on the situation."

The voice was familiar and cold, causing Lisa to freeze instantly.

She felt a chill running up her spine and her hair stood on end.

He turned around suddenly, and the documents in his hand fell out of fear.

She turned around and saw the familiar handsome young man with blond hair and golden eyes.

I don't know when he appeared silently behind her, with a faint smile on his face, and his eyes still gave people a sunny feeling as always.

call out--

Just as Lisa dropped the information out of fear, a strange scene happened.

Xia Xiu stretched out the index finger of his right hand and elegantly drew a circle in the air.

The dropped information seemed to be attracted by some invisible force and flew straight towards him, spinning and landing on his left hand. He looked down at the information in his hand, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and a hint of mockery revealed in his eyes.

Lisa stood there, her legs a little weak and her heart beating violently.

What he is facing now is an extremely terrifying monster!
"These materials seem a bit heavy for you." Xia Xiu said without raising his head as he flipped through the documents.

"The head of the White Worm Secret Cult..." the female medical examiner said with a wry smile.

"Dead." The blond young man raised his head, his golden eyes fixed on the flesh-and-blood shepherdess, and said word by word, "She died in such a way that she was completely wiped out."

Hearing this, Lisa felt her whole body tremble and her heartbeat seemed to stop for a moment.

"Yes...yes..."

The female medical examiner tried to remain calm, but she could not hide the fear and anxiety on her face.

Her eyes were wandering, sometimes glancing at the ground, sometimes sweeping at Xia Xiu's face, her eyes were full of fear and uneasiness, and at the same time, her body leaned forward slightly, making a fearful gesture.

"Don't worry, I won't kill you. You still have a lot of uses."

After Xia Xiu finished reading the information, he closed it and glanced nonchalantly at the flesh-and-blood female shepherd who didn't dare to look him in the eye.

"Let me tell you bluntly, you have Behemoth on you, so your life and death are basically under my control."

After Xia Xiu finished saying this, the female medical examiner showed a look of despair on her face, and the fear and despair in her eyes became even more intense.

Xia Xiu continued indifferently:

"According to the theory of force that you originally believed in, your current situation is that the conqueror has the right to kill the conquered, but the conquered can exchange their freedom for their lives, so that the conqueror can obtain the legitimate enslavement of the conquered."

His tone was extremely indifferent, as if he was stating an insignificant fact.

The female forensic doctor's eyes were full of helplessness and fear, like a small animal trapped in a cage of despair, facing an irresistible fate.

"Don't show that expression. It's too weak. This isn't the expression a member of the Sarkic Spectrum should have."

Xia Xiu looked at the female forensic doctor calmly and without any fluctuation. His golden pupils flashed coldly in the dim light, as if he could see through every trace of fear in her heart.

That indifference and indifference makes people feel like they are falling into an icy cave.

"Someone will be in charge of clearing out the four major families and all those involved in the human body trade in a while," Xia Xiu said calmly, "Your role is to cooperate with them to complete the clearing mission."

"After that..." The female forensic doctor seemed to have used up all her strength to squeeze out a sound.

Her face was now extremely pale, and her voice trembled, as if holding the last glimmer of hope.

She hopes to be able to redeem her freedom.

"after?"

The blond young man's eyes remained gentle, without the slightest fluctuation.

The corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a faint smile, but there was no warmth in that smile, instead it made people feel even colder.

He looked at Lisa as if he were appreciating a work of art, or as if he were examining an insignificant chess piece.

"You will spend some time in a specific place, and your task is to cooperate with the relevant personnel there to do some scientific research tasks."

As for dealing with the Flesh and Blood Shepherd, Xia Xiu of course threw her directly into the [Central Shelter].

After all, a wild Solomonian Sarkic member is rare, and this is the "mobile beacon" he will use to visit the Solomonian settlement hub in the future.

This was also the direct reason why he did not directly attack the opponent.

He was very interested in Solomon, one of the Four Saints, Lovatar, whom they served.

You know, this body of his was only possible thanks to the Sarkic ritual of Lovataar.
