Miss Witch doesn't want to be a diva!.

Chapter 515 Hui Fangyan's Past
While Tilan and others were leisurely fishing and picnicking by the lake, the online world on the other side was not peaceful.

After guessing the identity of 'Bluebird Mask', 'Old Skeleton' became much more negative, but he did not express this emotion obviously. Perhaps only 'Silver and Blue Work' knew his mood at the moment.

Without the reminders and obstruction of 'Old Skull' and 'Silver and Blue Work', the 'Council of Seven Sages' became calm on the surface. Two of the six people were silent, and the other two listened to 'Blue Bird Mask'. Although 'Long-Handed Monkey' had some small ideas, he seldom fought openly within the organization, so there were fewer and fewer discussions within the organization, and it was basically 'Blue Bird Mask' who made the decisions.

"The cat-eared singer has hired a lot of people recently, including giant companies that she is familiar with, forces in the northern star field, and elite hackers that she can contact with the forces around her. With the help of these forces, she has been searching the Internet for our real information, and has attracted the attention of many people." A subordinate reported the tracking and observation situation to the six people in the parliament.

"Got it." Bluebird Mask simply waved his hand to indicate that he understood.

For some unknown reason, her interest in the cat-eared singer suddenly dropped a lot compared to some time ago, which made the middle-level staff who had been carrying out the mission somewhat unsure of the mood of this adult.

"Should we take some action, sir?" the reporting member asked carefully.

In response, Bluebird Mask did not answer immediately, but paused and pondered for a while, then spoke.

"It's definitely not okay to let her continue to make trouble, but this singer is like a cat that smells blood. It's not easy to make her give up what she is interested in."

"Have the people below approach her carefully and find out her true thoughts. If we can exchange some intelligence to appease her, then appease her first."

"After that, prepare the organization to deal with strict network inspections. All traces and relationships that need to be dealt with should be handled during this period, and be ready to switch to a silent state at any time."

"Yes."

After the meeting ended, which still had no results and was a bit boring, the six people dispersed. However, after the meeting, Yinqingzuo unexpectedly received an invitation from "Bluebird Mask".

"Should I go? Is there anything I should pay attention to?" She first came to the 'Old Skeleton' to ask.

The old skeleton looked at the brief invitation letter and then told her not to worry.

"Among us, you are the youngest and have the cleanest resume. You have almost no background or power. This is also the safest. Don't worry. I don't think she will do anything to you. In all likelihood, she still wants to recruit you."

"What about me?" The silver mechanical doll turned the gears and wanted to continue asking.

"This kind of solicitation is mostly verbal. Just agree to it directly. She won't threaten you for such a small matter." The old skeleton fanned his hands and answered listlessly.

To these old-timers, the girl in front of them was still too young and immature. If they said too much, it would backfire. It would be better to let her express her nature, which would be more likable.

"Go ahead, go ahead. It's okay."

Afterwards, Ge Yin prepared for a short while and transferred to the network address left for her by Bluebird Mask.

This is a fortress in the clouds. The architectural style is quite fantastic. Various high towers and round pavilions stand in the clouds, connected by long bridges in the middle, forming a complex of buildings.

Not long after entering, the clouds in front of us dissipated, revealing a long bridge leading directly into the interior.

When the silver mechanical puppet stepped onto the bridge, it quickly reached the other side. At this time, the noble lady wearing the bluebird mask was already sitting at the table in the round pavilion waiting.

"I'm here." Her deep blue eyes shone through the mask as she looked at the girl in front of her, as if there was something else behind her words.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting." The silver mechanical doll moved and came to the table.

"Please sit down. Don't be nervous." The other party gestured, and then a set of steaming tea set appeared on the table.

"Although the experience of drinking tea here is not as good as in real life, it is not that far off. You can try it." The noble lady in the blue bird mask entertained us.

Then she slowly told the reason for inviting Ge Yin.

"Come to think of it, you've been in the organization for more than a year now. Are you used to it now?"

"I'm used to it now." The puppet's words sounded like a mechanical voice, and no emotional changes could be heard.

"Just get used to it. Maybe you're wondering where the 'Gray Fangyan' who invited you is now, and about your own position in the organization." She picked up the tea and drank it slowly.

"I have known 'Gray Rock' for a hundred years, which is longer than many people's lifetimes. There are many emotions and experiences that cannot be expressed in just a few words."

"He is a very pure person who is passionate about technology, likes to share, and even more so the new inspiration and opportunities gained from such exchanges."

"Because he is passionate about and good at network technology, he has gradually gathered a group of people. Most of them are geeks on the Internet. The Internet is the soil of their lives, and they rarely come into contact with reality."

"This group of people formed a loose forum organization out of the need to exchange technology and inspiration, in order to solve various problems encountered in shuttling the Aigeka network."

“Many of the frameworks and systems on the Internet today are derived from the early discussions on this forum. It’s just that over time, some of them have gradually become reality and people have become accustomed to them.”

"The Aigeka network is a magical existence. It is not just a simple information transmission, but a special framework in the Aigeka Sea that allows people's consciousness to connect to it and communicate extremely quickly. This certainly brings many benefits, such as communication and learning that exceeds the real time by several times, and directly experiencing certain scenes with consciousness, etc., but it also brings many risks."

“No matter how fast the traditional network is, when interacting with humans at the end point, it still relies on visual signal conversion such as screens or projections. This is equivalent to setting an input and output upper limit, which restricts the speed at which humans exchange information.”

"So, even though there are risks, in the end everyone still accepts this new immersive network and believes it is a key node for future technological breakthroughs in civilization."

"In order to protect the stability of the online world, keeping this model going became his wish when he was young."

"Thus, under his initiative, the prototype of the 'Council of Seven Sages' slowly emerged."

"In the beginning, the managers of this organization were all senior members of the forum at that time. They were all people who were extremely good at technology." Having said this, Bluebird Mask paused and waved his hand.

Then the scene around them changed, and the two seemed to be in the hall of the giant. Sitting on the surrounding stands were members of different images, some of them were sculptures, some were animals, and there were some inanimate fantasy images.

These members gathered in the hall, talking to each other and arguing fiercely.

“Hand over the technology to the Federation? Never! Those guys will just take it for themselves and set up layers of restrictions and supervision in the name of security needs. Where will there be any freedom then?” A member in a scholar’s ​​robe shouted.

"Shut up! You only know how to object to this and that. Have you ever thought about how much manpower and resources are needed to build such a huge network? It's a staggering number, and we can never do it on our own!" A walrus with a long white beard lay on the middle pillar and roared.

"Besides, our concept is still in its infancy. To realize it, we still need a lot of verification. It is not enough to just conduct experiments on a small scale."

"It's like you can't build an aircraft carrier in a pond or grow a big tree in a house. Without massive amounts of data and environmental testing, many problems can't be discovered." Another glass ball wearing glasses rotated on the stage, and the color inside kept changing.

"I'm not saying I won't do it, but I'm against us handing over all the technical data. This means we won't be able to control them anymore. What if the federal officials get the data, kick us out, and then deal with us offline one by one, and keep the results for themselves? Those guys will do anything for political achievements."

"You think too highly of those guys. Their lazy network technicians are going to fall into many traps if they want to understand what we have been working on for many years. As developers, we don't even know where some bugs are. We have to keep checking and backtracking to find them. They don't have the previous experience, so I don't think it's possible for them to achieve success overnight."

"So, even if they hand over the technical information, they still have to rely on us in the end. This is our confidence. Those who just want to make a living will never understand our love for technology and the hard work we put into it."

The quarrel continued in the hall of the forum. Finally, a figure familiar to Ge Yin appeared. His virtual image was a transparent cube with starlight. When he jumped onto the highest pillar in the center of the hall, the light radiated from his body, illuminating the entire venue and making everyone quiet down.

"'Cube', why are you dodging like that? Are you trying to be a conspicuous person again?" The big glass ball that was arguing with him earlier also raised the pillars beneath it and rushed into the air, running neck and neck with the transparent cube that was shining with starlight.

"Since you all have gone up, I must go too!" As soon as the words were spoken, a virtual image in the shape of a crystal triangle also jumped up.

In this way, the three stood on the three pillars in the middle of the hall, overlooking the members below. They were the three early leaders of this organization and the three people with the highest authority in the forum. Looking at the quiet venue, the transparent cube began to speak.

"I know everyone has their own ideas and opinions, but this is not the federal parliament, and it is not a place where problems can be solved by voting."

The corners of the crystal triangle changed color and began to speak. "It would have been better if we had done this earlier. I said at the time that bringing this up for discussion would definitely lead to no results. Some people will like it and some will hate it."

"Please say less. Although the three of us have discussed this, this is a huge matter after all. No matter what, we still need to discuss it with everyone to see if there are any serious bugs." Glass Ball commented on the side.

"Since we have discussed this for a long time and it is not as serious as we thought, let the three of us announce our decision directly."

“Cooperation with federal officials is inevitable. Everyone should be clear that if the future network we envision is to be realized, we must rely on the government. This is not a question of resources and strength, but a question of sovereignty.”

"A country cannot be born within another country, and the Federation will not allow a completely out-of-control, independent cyber world to emerge."

"Even if we don't give it to you now, technology is something that will be leaked sooner or later. Even if it's a fool, he will slowly understand and learn it after you give him a few decades. If you give it to him now, you can have the greatest initiative." The transparent block explained.

"Rather than being passive at that time, it is better to take the initiative now and find appropriate official forces to cooperate with."

"Don't think of a country as a person. It is a complex entity with various people and forces inside. We need to find someone we trust enough to entrust this technology to and let him take the lead in achieving our ideals."

"Next, let me tell you about the detailed plan and confidentiality arrangements..."

Afterwards, the scenes around the two people flashed by quickly, as if in fast forward.

"This is a record from more than a hundred years ago. How do you feel after reading it?" Bluebird Mask said.

"..." Ge Yin thought for a few seconds.

"It's very rebellious, but inexplicably touching," she commented.

"Yes, it's very touching. Although they each have some shortcomings and often quarrel with each other, they are a group of simple people." Bluebird Mask sighed.

"At that time, they really wanted the Aijek network to be built. It was like a beautiful vision, full of fantasy and expectation, which made people yearn for it."

"In order to achieve this wish, they began to continuously collect intelligence, summarizing the distribution of various forces in the federal high-level, the demands of different congressmen, the direction of interests, etc."

"Finally, they found the right partner, and then there was a long process of negotiations, proposals, voting, debates, etc."

"It was already 20 years after this video was recorded when the Aijiaka network was finally established."

"You may be curious about where those people went. There are no records in the organization, and no one will tell you about the past history."

"Let me tell you." She raised her hand again, and the scene around her darkened.

"Ninety percent of those people died violent deaths."

“It’s one thing to study technology, but when it’s no longer technology that they have, but real power, things change fundamentally.”

"When the proposal to build the Aijieka network is passed, as the initiators and those who control the core technology, they will naturally have power. This power can command and allocate the flow of hundreds of billions or trillions of resources and determine the birth of a certain network unicorn company in the future."

"The huge benefits involved are beyond the imagination of ordinary people. How would ordinary people spend 100 billion? What kind of temptations and threats would 100 billion attract? The impact of this test almost instantly broke the will of the early members."

"Some of them surrendered to giant corporations and became spies and informants within the organizations. Some were betrayed by their friends, their true identities were exposed, and they died at home. Some could not resist the temptation and became personal consultants and subordinates of certain senior officials. Only a very small number of members are still struggling to hold on, but this is also precarious, because those friends in the past are not only not helping, but will become the biggest threat."

“When ten people can interpret the technology, the power to control it is shared equally among the ten people, but if only one person can interpret it, then he alone has the power.”

"Brutal infighting broke out within the organization, which resulted in the organization being almost in name only for more than a decade. Countless people were displaced, disappeared, died, or were missing."

"When the Aijekka network was actually established, the forum organization had already disappeared, and the technocrats who were in charge of the Aijekka network were almost nowhere to be seen."

Hearing this, Ge Yin was silent for a long time, and finally asked.

"What about Senior 'Gray Fangyan'?"

"He...hidden himself for a long time. When everyone thought he was dead for more than ten years, he quietly reappeared on the Aika network, and then his virtual image slowly changed into the one you are familiar with today."

"After coming out again, he gathered the few remaining members of the forum and started to build a new organization. Because they had participated in the establishment of the Aijaka network, they were much more familiar with this world than ordinary people. The organization they established was far more concealed and had better intelligence acquisition capabilities than other budding network platforms."

"It was also during this stage that he began to gather strength and slowly recruited different forces to enrich the organization, such as those network mercenaries and fringe firms that you are not familiar with."

"These armed forces greatly enhanced the strength of the organization, gradually dealt with those who sold out and betrayed the organization, and deterred other forces in the Aijika network, allowing the organization to establish its position. After that, they built layers of 'shells' and puppets, slowly hiding the organization and forming the stable appearance it has today."

"If you ask me if 'Gray Fangyan' was a pure and passionate person back then, I would answer yes. But if you ask me if he is still that kind of person a hundred years later, I would say I don't know."

"Although we have known each other for more than a hundred years, he was actually slowly becoming a stranger to me. It was not until he invited you into the organization that I was finally sure that he had not forgotten his original intention."

"You are very similar to him in his early years, very young and exceptionally smart. Don't be fooled by Hui Fangyan's enthusiasm in front of you. That's because you are smart enough and extremely talented. You can easily understand what he teaches. If you ask someone with a lower IQ or a little stupid to teach you, he will be impatient and unwilling to do such an 'inefficient' thing."

"Compared to him in his early years, your mentality seems to be more stable. Even I have never seen your emotions fluctuate drastically. With you like this, you can probably avoid the tragedy of that year."

"Mastering the most advanced technology gives you the right to interpret 'science' and 'truth'. When no one else understands and you are the only one who understands, what you say becomes a kind of truth. This temptation will shake and corrupt people's hearts."

"I don't know where he found you, a rough diamond. You appeared almost overnight, and then he brought you to us and said that you would be one of our core members in the future."

"It's inevitable to be surprised. After all, you have absolutely no qualifications and are absolutely unfamiliar with it."

"However, all the labels on you show that this is his choice and his ideal, so no one in the organization objects."

"Compared to us who are already old, you are young enough. Your immaturity and lack of experience now is actually a good thing, because it will not threaten other core members who hold power. When they are really old one day, you will slowly grow up and be able to take over. If we have any last wishes at that time, we will also entrust you to realize them."

"So, as long as you don't deliberately offend others, people will be willing to show some kindness in front of you."

"Like what I'm doing now." After saying this, the lady rarely showed a smile.

"Let's stop here for today's conversation. I think you may need to spend quite some time to absorb the information. You can go to the Red Scimitar when you have time. It's not a good thing to have been in the organization for so long but never said a word to them."

"Thank you for the reminder, senior." Ge Yin nodded.

Seeing that her calm heart was now showing some ripples, the noble lady felt a little emotional.

Is it a good thing or a bad thing to have a child with very few emotional fluctuations?

Well, at least for the organization, such a stable and intelligent child is the best choice for the future.
