Apocalypse Forecast
Chapter 38
In the general impression of people, those who are called professors are usually gentle and thin scholars, or white-haired and bespectacled, with a scholarly air all over their body...
However, all of these are hard to be seen on a meat mountain over two meters high.
Now, this meat mountain is smiling warmly at Ai Qing, with a shining oil on his face, as dazzling as the sun. His hands are constantly moving, skillfully arranging those tools that are too delicate for his big fingers.
"Coffee or tea?"
"Coffee, please." Ai Qing said, "No sugar."
Soon, a steaming cup of coffee is poured into a delicate cup and placed on a plate in front of Ai Qing.
The professor turned on the nearby refrigerator and kept taking out all kinds of exquisite cakes, puddings, chocolates, macarons, Yingshou fruits, Roman mille-feuille...
"It's dinner time. Let's eat together."
It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from "pawread dot com".
He smiled and tied his own napkin, picked up his knife and fork, "I'm on a diet recently, so I don't eat meat at night."
Ai Qing looked at the table full of calories, rare and unusually moved, but soon shook her head in regret: "You will die of high cholesterol sooner or later."
"For cerebral thrombosis, there have been several times already."
The professor raised his finger and tapped the scar on his forehead where he had undergone surgery, "Thanks to the medical technology of the Surviving Institute of the Astronomy Society, I can continue this hobby."
"Even if you flatter me, it's useless. After all, I'm just a new employee who has just been confirmed." Ai Qing picked up her coffee and took a sip, nodding in satisfaction.
Although she didn't want to admit it, the coffee here in the professor's place is indeed the best in the entire New Sea. Although her own home has many rare coffee beans, she can't match this guy's craftsmanship.
"You've just been confirmed at this critical juncture? Then you must have worked hard..."
The professor frowned slightly, "Will the war in the Dragon Triangle affect the New Sea?"
"It will have some impact."
Ai Qing tapped the table and sighed.
This is simply a classic case of the fire at the gate that brings disaster to the fish in the pond.
As a world-renowned behemoth, the Astronomy Society's power cannot be underestimated. It is the embodiment of the dark side of the United Nations organization itself.
Ninety years ago, in order to deal with the threats outside the border, under the advocacy of the Vanguard Society, the International Astronomy Society was established with the participation of the five permanent members of the United Nations, the East Xia, Rome, Russia, the American Federation, and the First Dynasty of Egypt.
And now, the ruling body of the Astronomy Society, instead of the "Supervisory Bureau" of the "Ideal Country", is composed of political leaders and major monopolies from various countries.
Therefore, the First World War was called the war that ended all wars-Since then, there has been no world war on a global scale, but this does not mean that war has disappeared. It has just moved to places that ordinary people cannot see. Have the proxy wars between countries been few in recent years for the sake of gaining control over the Bureau of Governance?
Otherwise, how did Baghdad become a ruin?
Dozens of borders were sunk by the four archenemies who had a big fight, and the aftermath has not subsided until now.
Although countries and groups will maintain their existence under the pressure outside the border, internal conflicts have always been inevitable...
Just like the border war in the Dragon Triangle this time.
In recent years, everyone has assumed that the country and organization in the border area have the dominant development rights of that border. However, the reason why the border is called a border is not only because they are on the edge of the realm, but also because they belong to a sparsely sovereign area like a border.
Especially under special circumstances, they can move...
In recent years, in order to compete for the ruins of the former Yamatai Empire-the "Dragon Triangle" border, the representatives of the Tianjin faction in the Yingzhou and the representatives of the Wujia faction in the Guojin have been fighting constantly. Both sides have not been the first time they have been beaten to the point of bloodshed. The speed of changing the sovereignty of the border is simply more exaggerated than the speed of changing prime ministers domestically. As a result, they fought back and forth, and even broke the fixed border wedge...
The border wedge can be broken!
Are you doing this on purpose, my friends?
Anyway, according to the astronomical calculation of the Astronomy Association, the Dragon Triangle has begun to drift. After drifting towards the Australian archipelago, it suddenly turned northwest...
Yes, it is drifting towards Dongxia.
Now Dongxia is very happy. The border development group, Taiqing Heavy Industry, has begun to eagerly await this piece of meat to fall into the pot.
Then, Yingzhou became unhappy. But now that the Dragon Triangle has drifted onto the high seas, what can you do if you are not happy? The people are happy, that's what really matters.
Moreover, if such a big thing floats over, and you hide and don't let people intervene, what if there are dangerous items inside?
Dongxia said loudly: Come on, let me take a look!
I don't know if it is developing normally, but the situation will definitely become more and more tense.
What makes Ai Qing headache now is that if Dongxia really intends to take countermeasures against the Dragon Triangle, then after a period of time, Xin Hai City will become one of the most convenient ports for Sublimators who want to make money, seek treasures, make extra money, and cause trouble.
And what Ai Qing has to worry about is not only the inevitable increase in criminal incidents committed by Sublimators, but also the mutual attraction between the borders-
What if the Yamatai border in the Dragon Triangle collides with the coastal border of Dongxia, or any other border?By then, it would be like a comet hitting the earth!
Of course, she wasn't the only one worried about it, but she would definitely be one of those who would be blamed. This was not a good time to become an official supervisor of the Astronomy Society.
Instead, if she wanted to protect herself, she had to prepare for a transfer within the next six months.
The speed of drifting at the border was not fast, but at the current rate, a big mess would probably erupt around the New Sea within a year at the latest.
"Have you found a place to go?"
The professor asked casually, "With your connections, you surely can't be unable to handle this, right?"
Ai Qing glanced at him and said nothing.
"Just curious, purely curious."
The professor laughed innocently. After a gust of wind, he had eaten more than half of the various sweets on the table, and the coffee, which was so sweet that it was about to turn into a paste, had also been poured into his stomach.
He had only eaten half-full for dinner.
He wiped his mouth and pulled out a thick file from under the table and placed it in front of Ai Qing.
"This is the investigation you requested, with all the records and information about the Savior Society." The professor said, "I only did basic integration according to your requirements, deleting some useless information. But I did not add any subjective argument. I believe this document won't be difficult for you."
Ai Qing had confidence in her ability to read documents. If she had to guess, she didn't need anyone to replace her with some subjective opinions.
The most important reason why she could become a supervisor was not only because of her almost perfect academic performance, but also because of her rare talent for "intuition," which was considered valuable even in the Astronomy Society.
Yes, intuition.
If she had to guess blindly, she would probably be right or wrong half the time. If it were a game of dice, she might not be as good as those professional mathematicians.
But only when facing complex situations, could her intuition reveal its preciousness.
If we talk about probability, the correct possibility is about 65%.
Her talent, which was more than 15% higher than that of ordinary people, made her stand out from the complicated tests and was rated as the top A+ level talent.
Such talent was definitely a perfect match for the foresight-type Holy Mark. Even without soul sublimation, it was enough to make people look forward to it.
The Astronomy Society did not care about the 35% failure rate. In fact, they had enough ability to pay the price for it. If Ai Qing had not refused the invitation from the Strategy Room and chose to work locally, the Astronomy Society would have started targeting her for training, right?
That was why she was laughed at as a typical example of ignorance among her peers during the training period.As an information dealer, the Professor knew everything about his partner, including things that were not recorded on paper.
But Ai Qing remained tight-lipped and never revealed anything to anyone.
In silence, she focused on flipping through the thick pages of a book. The Professor didn't interrupt her, but instead turned his chair around and started reading some obscure professional books on the table.
If Ai Qing had any thoughts on what she was reading, it was that the water of the Savior's Lake was even deeper than she had anticipated.
Although it looked like a group of scammers, there were too many suspicious points. Whether it was the origin of the strange border relics or the sublimators who had crossed paths with them...
King Hai, who was implicated by his accomplices, was only a temporary leader. Before him, the Savior's Church had a different name and even other leaders.
The shady organization had been hiding in Lao Tang Town, but had many connections with various companies, including Bo'ai Charity. Its reach extended beyond Xinhai and even beyond.
If not for the Red Gloves Strong Dragon crossing the river and using this scam church, it would have taken a long time to discover these ghostly things that grew in the lower classes of rural and remote cities.
Now it seemed more like a bottom line and a cover for a huge organization.
But which side had reached out its hand?
There were too many suspicious directions.
The Black Sky Church in Tianzhu? The Blissful Land in the border? The Scientific Divine Society of the American Union? Or the 108,000 demons and snakes in Yingzhou?
Unfortunately, the only two people who knew the details, King Hai and the Naga, were already dead. Otherwise, Ai Qing wouldn't have had to start investigating like finding a needle in a haystack.
She wasn't worried about what the Red Gloves, who had already been killed by Huai Shi, and the largest terrorist organization in the border, Green Day, were up to.
The power of the border was ultimately just the border, and if they wanted to make a difference in the realm, they couldn't avoid the astronomical association that covered the entire human world.
She was worried about what the Savior's Church, the crazy people who were scavenging the elderly's source material, were up to. Have they succeeded or are they still trying? And who else is working with them?
She couldn't believe that someone like King Hai, who only knew how to scam money, could infiltrate the upper echelons of Bo'ai Charity.
Just by looking at his records, it was clear that he was only capable of scamming pension funds.
So who was behind all of this?
It wasn't long before her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of the phone ringing.
And when she finished the call, she had lost all desire to continue thinking."That's all for the initial report," she put away the files on the table, "I'll transfer the rest of the money to you, but the investigation on the Savior Association will continue. Please remember to inform me if there's any new situation."
"Don't worry, I will," the professor drank his tea and looked at her expression, "Has there been another case of Corrosive and Sublimator criminal activity?"
"No, it's worse than that."
Ai Qing tapped the armrest of her wheelchair with an expressionless face, recalling the description of Huai Shi on the phone. She couldn't help but sigh, "It's much worse than that."
