Honglian was shocked.
Because what the other party said actually matched her experiences over the past month!
At first, after they entered the Erosion World, they found the technology there was advanced, making exploration difficult to conduct, so they had to disguise themselves as holess beggars or thugs, slowly gathering intelligence. It took them about a month to gradually establish themselves as a "Street Gang."
But not long after returning to Jiang City, she heard from the Intelligence Team that the chanism had made significant progress in its relationship with local political and business circles, and the General Captain had beco a frequent guest of theirs. Later, the Dinsional Limit chanism transported a lot of goods from the Erosion Space and received so returns from there.
As for what specific items were obtained, she had inquired around, but unfortunately, whether the Intelligence Team or the Logistics Team, they knew very little about the trading details. The only thing clear was that all these returns were transported to the headquarters and none were left in Jiang City.
At the ti, everyone was privately comnting on how the General Captain was indeed skilled and a social talent.
Honglian also had a sowhat changed view of Xiao Canong.
However, now it seems the achievents Captain Xiao gained at that ti were actually traded by selling Elorie to the Demons?
Even those high-level officials trying to form further cooperation with the Dinsional Limit chanism were all sinister Demons who feared the world not being chaotic?
The sheer amount of information made Honglian’s breathing sowhat stifled.
"No... this is impossible..." she instinctively muttered.
It wasn’t that Xiao Canong couldn’t be so despicable.
What she didn’t believe was that this cooperative relationship would be endorsed by the upper echelons of the chanism.
Could it be that the General Captain had hidden crucial information from the chanism?
But this possibility wasn’t high...
The headquarters would only allow Xiao Canong to allocate materials to another world if they knew the situation well, obviously after reviewing the report they also felt that the cooperation could be further developed.
Even if a mber of that group had just massacred hundreds at the Five Rings Machinery Factory.
Sitting next to her, Lin Qing was carefully observing this future leader’s every move.
"No wonder when I first t you, you seed so familiar... I had confused you with her." Chen Xuan’s chatter ca through the earphones, "Speaking of which, back when I went to rescue Joan, Mad Judy appearing in the royal palace dungeon was also played by this guy. But at the ti she wore a hood, and the dungeon light was dim, so I didn’t realize it."
As the Dream Maker himself, Chen Xuan naturally couldn’t be absent. To ensure Elorie and Liuli perford their roles well, he stayed in an upstairs room, observing the situation inside with pre-set miniature caras.
"So do you have any blood relation with her? Could it be your ancestor was a future resistance leader?"
"How would I know, I’m just as in the dark as you are." Lin Qing spoke non-verbally, "But one thing I am sure of, I have no family, since birth I’ve been in the resistance camp."
"How about... taking the chance to collect so of her hair?"
"Let’s focus on the main issue for now, don’t do anything suspicious."
"I actually think this might be a good chance for you two to bond." Chen Xuan held a different view, "Don’t be fooled by her calm appearance, her mind must be as confused as yours. Right now, even if you told her she was your long-lost sister, she might not dare to deny it outright."
"Is this also your intuition?"
"More or less, I can sense she’s wavering."
Lin Qing had to admit, the manager’s intuition was indeed on point, if following her initial strategy of directly recruiting Honglian, perhaps things would have already fallen apart.
Chen Xuan, rely through chatting with Jiang Siqi, had roughly assessed all mbers of the Execution Team, subsequently decided on the strategy to use Wang Baihu to affect Honglian, which seed more effective. Honglian shifted from a passive receiver to an active seeker, with her suspicion and resistance greatly reduced. Coupled with Elorie’s ordeal naturally arousing the leader’s sympathy and anger, these emotions would further prompt her to investigate.
Nevertheless, Honglian hadn’t joined them.
At least at this point, she still had full confidence in the Dinsional Limit chanism and would instinctively defend the organization. Even after hearing Elorie’s account, though she felt so wavering, it was just that.
The pillar supporting her faith in the chanism hadn’t yet crumbled.
"You think it’s impossible... because you don’t know enough about them." Lin Qing thought for a mont and said, "The Dinsional Limit chanism indeed, as its na suggests, maintains world stability and restricts the spread of abilities, but the process is far from righteous and fair. They imprison, kill Wanderers, extract their abilities as weapons, and collaborate with large corporations for excessive profits, eventually becoming a massive interest entity."
"You can imagine how terrifying an organization monopolizing advanced technology and powerful abilities can be. No one can limit them, if the chanism wishes it, they could easily take thousands of lives at a fingertip, all under the guise of Dinsional Limitation for the greater good."
By this point, Lin Qing could accept it. If sacrificing a small portion could exchange for the survival of the majority, the cost wasn’t incomprehensible.
But the Dinsional Limit chanism failed in protecting the world despite such heinous deeds.
"I wanted to ask before, who exactly are you?" Honglian eyed Lin Qing warily, "Knowing so much about the chanism, are you an Ability User who defected?"
In a sense, yes.
But Lin Qing could never admit such. At least in this century, the chanism wasn’t so divided, there have been detailed reports for the internal betrayal incidents. If she admitted it following the other party’s accusation, it’d be stepping into a trap.
"Are you testing ? There were only three betrayal incidents within the Dinsional Limit chanism, all participants were caught, none matched , right?" Lin Qing answered with a question, "The chanism is indeed mysterious, but for higher-dinsional existences, grasping this information isn’t difficult."
Honglian was once again surprised.
Such internal information could only be accessible to agency mbers, and required certain permissions, for example, Wang Baihu and Little Pigeon were unaware.
"You an... the World Ability Center?"
"Correct, Shixin observes the whole world through abilities, naturally focusing on the Dinsional Limit chanism gathering many Ability Users." Lin Qing nodded.
This was Chen Xuan’s idea, not approaching Honglian from an ally’s angle, but guiding from an external perspective——doing so could skip the mutual trust-building phase, directly using transcendental powers and solid facts to break down her defenses.
Honglian had heard from Wang Baihu, that this self-proclaid "Shixin" seemingly could arbitrarily strip and grant abilities, but there was clearly a big problem here. Wang Baihu might not perceive it, but she wouldn’t be fooled: if this consciousness were truly powerful, it could achieve any goal without needing chanical Officers. For example, it could have directly stripped Xiao Canong’s abilities or granted Elorie immunity from gunfire, helping her escape danger.
"It sounds all-knowing, all-powerful..." Honglian contemplated for a while, "What you’re saying... I can’t verify at the mont, but I’m intrigued by the idea of it being an ability consciousness collective, Miss Lin Qing... Can I personally test it?"
"What do you an?" Lin Qing slightly frowned.
"It’s simple, allow to experience abilities being stripped and endowed like your colleagues. If it’s true, I am willing to believe everything you say." Honglian said word by word.
