Chapter 366 The Ring of the World
Chen Chuan lowered his gaze, picked up the agreement, and flipped through the contents. It was full of confidentiality provisions regarding the content of this conversation.
But it is not a complete restriction. Relatives of the signer can disclose it to a limited extent depending on the specific circumstances, but they also need to sign a confidentiality agreement, and the number is limited to two people.
There are many items here, and it can be said that all aspects have been considered.
And when he looked at the almost imperceptible pattern at the bottom of the agreement page, he suspected that some kind of formal esoteric ritual might have been used on it.
Using such a constraint must not be a simple matter, it should involve the real secrets under the central city.
Part of the reason why he has reached this point and entered Central City in a shorter time than others is to seize the possible opportunities.
Now the information hidden behind is close at hand. The door is right in front of him. He only needs to reach up and push it, and it will be revealed. Of course he will not miss it.
So without any hesitation, he put down the agreement, took a pen next to it, and signed his name on it.
And at this moment, I felt that there was a faint sign of emptiness on my second self, and it has always existed there. This seemed to be some kind of long-term supervision, but it did not harm the body itself.
He ignored it and looked up at the two people opposite.
Seeing that Chen Chuan had signed the agreement, the woman stepped forward to pick it up, first scanned it with her pen, seemed to record it, and then handed it to Commissioner Liang's hand.
After Commissioner Liang took it and looked at it, he handed it back to her. The woman walked aside and sealed the document in a metal box prepared in advance.
Commissioner Liang looked at Chen Chuan and his expression became serious: "Executor Chen, since you have chosen to sign the agreement, please listen carefully to what I am going to tell you next."
He paused, "The world we live in is brewing a huge crisis..." He said slowly: "Another world is gradually approaching us."
Chen Chuan's eyes narrowed slightly, "Another world?"
Commissioner Liang nodded and said: "Yes, there is another world. Our understanding of that world can currently only be summarized by the word 'world'. In fact, although we have been fighting there for a long time, our understanding is still very limited.
But now the two worlds are being attracted, pulled, and slowly getting closer to each other."
At this moment, Chen Chuan suddenly thought of something. Could it be the big whirlpool he saw above the sky when he reached the third limit?
He thought for a moment, raised his head and said, "Commissioner Liang, what is this 'world' like? And when did it start to get closer to the world we live in?"
Commissioner Liang said: "Actually, this world did not suddenly appear there. It has come into contact with us more than once since ancient times."
"More than once?"
"Yes, for example, two worlds are like two celestial bodies that are close to each other, orbiting and attracting each other. Sometimes the distance between us is relatively far, sometimes it is relatively close. When it is far away, its influence on us is weaker.
, but when it’s close, the impact is deeper.”
Commissioner Liang said solemnly: "The rise and fall of dynasties in the old era, as well as the rise and fall of civilizations, are closely related to the impact of this world on us.
When it is approaching, we call it the "change period", and when it is far away, we call it the "cold period".
But this situation has changed somehow. Now the world is getting closer and closer to us, and the 'change period' is extending indefinitely, seemingly without an end..."
At this point, his voice became extremely slow: "According to our observations, if we continue like this, one day, the world may be completely close to us.
We don’t know exactly what will happen then, but it is certain that it will be an unprecedented crisis, so we tentatively named it...the Big Bang."
"Big bang..."
Chen Chuan felt a little scared. He could imagine what the scene would be like just from the name. He changed his mind and asked again: "Commissioner Liang, can I ask how long it will be until the big bang hits?"
?”
Commissioner Liang said solemnly: "It is difficult for us to tell the exact time, but at least two hundred years ago, it has exceeded the limit of the change period recorded in history.
According to our long-term observations and inferences, if we do nothing, it may take two to three years at the shortest, and ten or twenty years at the longest, depending on our own efforts."
Chen Chuanhua: "Commissioner Liang is saying, can we try to save this situation?"
“Crisis also brings opportunities.” Commissioner Liang said: “The intersection with that world has caused our world to continue to undergo unprecedented changes.
In order to maintain their rule, the empires of the old era invested a lot of resources in exploring and researching the intersection of the world, but they did not expect that this would have another effect, and changes would occur in just over a hundred years.
In the past 100 years, technology has advanced by leaps and bounds, with the emergence of high-energy algae and the outbreak of the algae oil revolution. The landscape has changed again and again. Several empires that have ruled the world for hundreds or even millennia have collapsed one after another. Those research results have also been subsequently established.
Accepted by countries around the world.
Immediately afterwards came the arrival of a new era, and the various countries and companies that overthrew the old empire formed a grand alliance.
In order to cope with the coming crisis, we concentrated our resources to build cities and defense points at the connection and leakage points of the two worlds to capture the first information coming from the intersection of the worlds, and to accept or isolate the arrival from the other world.
thing……"
Following Commissioner Liang's words, a map of the whole world appeared on the wide curved wall around him. The outlines of each continent were clearly visible, and then bright spots emerged on it, all over the place.
All over the world.
"That is the central city, the guide and anchor point of the two worlds, and the frontier and fortress of confrontation. The central city of Jibei Road where we are standing now is one of them."
Chen Chuan looked at the highlights displayed on the map. The Republic of Dashun can be said to be at the top of the world, occupying more than one-fifth of the world's central cities, which is also consistent with the size of the country.
At this time, Commissioner Liang turned around, looked at the bright spots, and said with some regret: "But unfortunately, the major league only lasted for thirty years before it fell apart, leaving only a nominal existence and just a function.
To maintain a communication platform for various countries and major companies.”
Chen Chuan looked at it for a while and then asked: "What is that world like?"
Commissioner Liang said: "No one can explain clearly. The things there are different from the material world we are usually used to. Well, you should know about abnormal things?"
Chen Chuanhuan: "I know." The abnormal things officially mentioned include strange stories and things that are manipulated by esoteric rituals. These are simply summarized into one category.
Commissioner Liang said: "Some of them are due to the influence of the two worlds, and some are expressions of that world. This may help you understand what the other side is like."
Chen Chuan thought for a while and finally understood a little bit.
Commissioner Liang's voice was a little heavy: "I just said that our understanding of that world so far is not sufficient. Perhaps when the big impact comes, we can have a deeper understanding, but I actually don't want to see that world.
The day has come."
The surroundings fell silent, and none of the three people spoke at this moment. Only the bright spots on the map were still flashing.
After a while, Commissioner Liang turned around and said, "Okay, now that Executive Chen understands the specific situation, let me tell you about the constraints and responsibilities that you, or your group, must bear."
His expression became extremely serious: "As that world approaches, now there is a middle zone at the intersection of the two worlds, which can also be considered a transitional boundary. Perhaps due to the influence of each other, the material world will change there.
It is particularly loose and weak.
Based on long-term observation, we have confirmed that by weakening the erosion on the opposite side, the arrival of the big impact can be delayed to a certain extent, and the improvement of technology also gives us more ways to fight against the upcoming unprecedented changes.
Now we use technology to build a barrier there, which we call the 'Ring of the World'. Of course, some people call it the 'Curtain of the World' to delay the arrival of the big impact and block certain existences in the opposite world.
But this barrier is not dense. The collision of the world keeps squeezing it, and from time to time something from the opposite side will seep in.
Due to spiritual sublimation, third-level fighters often contact or feel these external things actively or passively. Some people will fall into chaos and madness because they cannot distinguish between truth and falsehood, while others will be bewitched by it.
, to try to destroy the Ring of the World and to contact the beings behind it.
So first of all, third-level fighters are strictly prohibited from snooping or touching those things, and are subject to regular audits and inspections. Moreover, we have also set up strict supervision on the World Ring. Once any violations of the rules of climbing over or trying to destroy the ring are discovered,
, will be arrested or eliminated immediately.
At the same time, fighters like you who have signed the agreement and know the truth need to be called up when the country needs it. What you do depends on the organization and institution you work for."
He looked at Chen Chuan who was thinking and reminded: "I need to tell you that at your level, some special cultivation drugs cannot be found outside. Only the fighters who participate in and obey the World Ring Defense System
, only with certain merits and contributions will they be allowed to provide.
Therefore, we do not force every fighter to actively participate, so you can decide on your own what to do."
After a short pause, he said: "Okay, I have told Executive Chen what you need to know, and our conversation ends here.
Executive Chen, you can go back."
The woman walked up and put on a ceremonial smile, "Executor Chen, please go this way."
Chen Chuan took another look at the world around him, and finally looked at Commissioner Liang and said, "You haven't asked me about your identity yet?"
Commissioner Liang said in a deep voice: "The Dashun Ministry of Defense of the People's Republic of China has sent a special World Ring representative and is stationed in the central city of Jibei Province, Liang Guanghai."
