Chapter 497 A Letter of Authorization
Gabriel watched Xia Xiaoyu take out three folding stools and spread them out, then sit down on the bed with Su Ming, reflecting in his heart on what he had done wrong.
He did not regret having put Xia Xiaoyu under house arrest in that place, because Xia Xiaoyu was his most important tool and an indispensable key item for him to realize his long-cherished wish. What he regretted was that he was not thoughtful enough and actually treated Xia Xiaoyu as an object, while ignoring her feelings and needs as a human being.
If he were to do it again, he would definitely not take care of her like a precious pet. Instead, he would choose a . This time, he would not tell the children what they should and should not do, but let them use their true personalities to get along with Xia Xiaoyu freely.
That way, she probably won't run away.
Unfortunately, there is no medicine for regret in the world, and mistakes are always mistakes.
The most important thing now is to convince Su Ming to agree with his plan, and continue to complete the research on the Heart of Chaos with him, so as to transform the power of the Chaos Demon into the necessary energy to promote the development of human society.
Human beings should not rely on supernatural powers that cannot be determined and replicated. What humans need is a power that is regular and controllable, which is science!
"State your purpose directly, don't beat around the bush."
Su Ming placed his hand on Gabriel and activated his supernatural power to transfer some of the other party's injuries to himself.
"My purpose is very simple. As long as you can implement my plan, I will be satisfied. I can agree to anything else." Gabriel said.
"Mass-produce Chaos Demons? But Chaos Demons are essentially weird. Using them to solve weirdness cannot fundamentally make the weirdness disappear. Unless you can think of a way to control those experimental subjects, there is no need to talk about this matter at all." Su Ming said coldly.
"You've seen those experimental subjects, right? They're like soldiers, aren't they? Isn't that enough to prove that they can be controlled?" Gabriel asked back.
"Those experimental subjects do seem to be following your orders, and their behavior is very similar to that of humans. But since they can see Xia Xiaoyu, it proves that their minds and bodies are far from humans. Their thinking is only similar to that of humans, but they are not humans in essence."
"So what if they are not human? Are humans the only ones who can be useful? Haven't hounds always been human's assistants? Even if hounds cannot understand the idea of human hunting, as long as they are given the rewards they want, I can make them work for me and produce stereotyped and fixed expectations."
"But they are not hounds. The reason why humans choose hounds as hunting assistants is because the power of hounds is within the control of humans. The experimental subjects you studied are lions. Do you think hunters will let lions help with hunting? Even if the lion is very obedient."
After saying this, Su Ming paused for a moment and then added:
"Only creatures that are weaker than us can be safely tamed. Humans now have guns and gunpowder, so they can certainly lock tigers and lions in circuses and zoos. But your experimental subjects made with chaos fragments are completely different from tigers and lions. If they are tigers and lions, then most humans can only be considered primitive people at best. Would primitive people catch tigers and lions and play with them?"
"But we are not without the power to control them. Aren't the Alliance's containment objects useful? If the containment objects are not used, are they just for display?" Gabriel was a little excited.
Su Ming sighed, not wanting to continue arguing with the other party, and changed the topic to ask: "Do you have any way to kill the others?"
He knew that Gabriel knew who the other people he was talking about were, and Gabriel's expression changed slightly when he heard this question. He did not answer Su Ming directly, but lowered his head slightly and said: "Can you help me? I believe that the technology that utilizes chaos fragments will be the future of this world."
"I don't care whether your technology is the future or not. I only know that if the mysterious eye continues to exist, then this world will definitely have no future."
Seeing Gabriel like this, Su Ming knew that he could not break the contract and do anything to harm his companions who shared power with him. However, Su Ming was very sure that Gabriel had some way to kill other people, but he could not say it out.
Seeing that he could not get anything out of Gabriel, Su Ming turned to Liu Lingshan and said, "Master, let's start to purge the traitors within the Seven Gods Alliance, but before we start, you have to take me to see the top leader of the Seven Gods Alliance."
Liu Lingshan glanced at Su Ming and asked, "Why?"
“You have to get some permissions before you start doing something, otherwise it’s impossible to succeed.”
"Xiao Ming, you are becoming more and more thoughtful," Liu Lingshan sighed, "In fact, I have been thinking about this problem recently, but I haven't figured out a solution until now. Do you have any way to catch the Mysterious Eye in one fell swoop?"
"There's no other way. We have to take it slow. There's no other way." Su Ming replied.
"So you are going to the higher-ups to get an order," Liu Lingshan said.
Su Ming nodded gently: "Master, have you thought of this a long time ago?"
"Well, our ideas are pretty similar, right? This shows that Xiaoming, you are very close to me when thinking about some things." Liu Lingshan raised his hand and patted Su Ming's shoulder. "This is what I said, everyone has their own limits... My limit is here. No matter how long I live or how much knowledge I have learned, I can only think to this extent. I believe you haven't reached your limit yet and can still make progress, so keep up the good work!"
"Um!"
Su Ming couldn't think of a way to capture all the members of the Mysterious Eye in one fell swoop. Those members of the Mysterious Eye were like ants in an ant nest. Although he could destroy the ant nest with one blow, he couldn't kill the fleeing ants instantly. He could only destroy the ant nest and then slowly clean up the other ants.
"If you are ready, come with me to the headquarters now," said Liu Lingshan.
Su Ming nodded: "I'm ready, as for him..."
He turned to look at Gabriel lying on the bed with his arms and legs broken, thought for a moment, then turned his head and said, "Let the captain come and take care of him. Inject him with a potion that can make people unconscious, and then give him a glucose drip. This will keep him in a coma and prevent him from using his unknown abilities, and it will also be easier for the captain to take care of him. I think he can't do anything with his injuries like this."
"Think carefully about what I just said." Gabriel stared at Su Ming with his eyes, which were both paranoid and calm.
Su Ming sighed, stood up, folded the stool and handed it back to Xia Xiaoyu, then turned around, looked down at Gabriel who was unable to move, and said slowly in a cold tone:
"After I deal with the other members of the Mysterious Eye, if you are still alive, I will come back and discuss the plans you mentioned with you in detail... As for now, I don't have time to think about those things."
…
A few days later, on the island where the Seven Gods Alliance headquarters was located, Su Ming met the Seven Gods Alliance's supreme commander, Wei Yansheng.
This time, we met alone.
"Old Wei, I brought my apprentice here." Liu Lingshan said to the haggard old man sitting behind the table.
When the old man saw Liu Lingshan, his tense and serious face relaxed a little, and his originally sharp wrinkles softened a little. His whole demeanor and temperament was much kinder than when Su Ming had just met him, and the iron-like coldness also dissipated, and instead he looked a little more tired.
It seems that this is the true face of this old man. As the leader of the Seven Gods Alliance, he is very tired.
"Lingshan, this time, do you have any way to solve this mysterious eye?" Wei Yansheng asked in a vicissitudes of life voice.
"I don't know, it's just very difficult." Liu Lingshan frowned slightly, looking a little serious, "This time the weirdness is different from the past. The priority of this thing is ridiculously high."
The so-called priority is the priority of two abilities that have opposite effects on the same thing, like a contradiction.
Among the existing collection items of the four major alliances, there are weapons that can definitely hit the target, and there are also clothes that can definitely dodge any attack. When these two collection items with completely opposite effects are used at the same time, only one will be effective in the end, and that one is the item with a higher priority.
Xia Xiaoyu's influence on the people around her is a priority competition with the cognitive abilities that humans possess. Xia Xiaoyu's invisibility effect has a priority that almost surpasses all human cognitive abilities. Even among causal abilities, it is an absolute priority...that is, it has the highest priority.
As for other members of the Mysterious Eye, although they can be seen when the stealth effect is not activated, they can achieve similar effects once it is activated. Although they are not as absolute as Xia Xiaoyu, they also crush any existing cognitive props. This is what Liu Lingshan has been worried about.
"To be honest, I don't quite understand the basis for the effectiveness of that ability. Generally, the ability to distort reality is stronger the more abnormal it is, the stronger the ability is. But the power of those people from the Mystic Eye surpasses mine, but not him." Liu Lingshan looked at Su Ming in confusion. "Although I haven't figured out the reason yet, I think Su Ming and them should be related like a lock and a key."
Wei Yansheng narrowed his eyes and stared at Su Ming quietly for a long time. He then said, "Su Ming, what order do you want from me?"
Su Ming took a deep breath and took a step forward.
"I want to ask you for an order to kill anyone without reason and not to be stopped."
Xia Xiaoyu, who was beside Su Ming, held her breath, her heart beating rapidly. She quickly glanced at Liu Lingshan and Wei Yansheng and found that their expressions did not change at all. Could it be that these two people had already guessed that Su Ming wanted such an order?
"It's true that heroes emerge from youth. It's as if I saw myself back then." Wei Yansheng stared at Su Ming. The corners of his drooping mouth pulled up slightly, and an ambitious look appeared on his old face, as if he still had a great blueprint in his heart that was being executed at this moment.
This smile made Wei Yansheng look nothing like an old man.
Liu Lingshan looked at Wei Yansheng and chuckled, "This kid is much better than you were back then. Don't be so shameless and flatter yourself. You've been working on your idea for most of your life but it still hasn't made any progress. You're not as good as Wei Donglai... I really don't understand why I assisted you back then."
"Su Ming, have you thought it through? Even if I gave this order, it may not be all right in the end. This order can only ensure that you will not be stopped during the massacre." Wei Yansheng confirmed to Su Ming.
"That's enough." Su Ming said.
Wei Yansheng nodded, pulled out a stack of documents from the table, unfolded them, then signed and stamped them with the official seal, as if he had known that Su Ming would ask him for this order and had prepared the documents early.
Seeing this scene, Su Ming was a little surprised . He was stunned for a moment and said, "Is it really okay to just give the order like this? Don't you need to use any means to confirm what I said?"
"Trust the people you employ; don't employ those you don't trust." Wei Yansheng said calmly, as if signing the order was a matter of course.
After he signed, he glanced at the name of the document—"Mass Execution Order"!
[1. According to the "Power of Decision-making on Emergency Matters" of the Seven Gods Alliance, because the incident has a great impact and has endangered the stability within the alliance and the stability of various high-risk objects, Wei Yansheng, in the name of the Seven Gods Alliance's supreme commander, granted Su Ming the power to execute anyone without asking for permission.
2. Anyone who obstructs Su Ming from carrying out the execution will be regarded as an accomplice of the S-level dangerous organization "Mysterious Eye" and can be executed directly.
3. In the process of executing this order, you should unconditionally assist Su Ming in accordance with Article 35 of the "Emergency Situation Handling Regulations".
……】
Each of these
If this order was placed in ancient times, it would be a "massacre order", and it is very likely that no general has ever issued such a massacre order, because this massacre order is not to massacre the enemy's city, but to massacre one's own city!
This piece of paper can be described as a unique and crazy authorization letter!
"Ha! This is the first time in my life that I have signed such an outrageous order. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is completely invalid from a legal perspective, but I think it can be used to pave the way." Wei Yansheng let out an old laugh from his throat.
If someone carefully studies the laws of the alliance, they will be convinced that this authorization is difficult to establish, but in fact, Su Ming and Liu Lingshan do not care whether this order is in accordance with the rules.
Whether this order is successful or not, the result does not matter, because the purpose of letting Wei Yansheng sign this order is to show the legitimate authorization when the killing is crazy, so that those who resist will hesitate and miss the opportunity to hinder them.
Other than that, everything else is minor.
"Four copies, and I will send the other three copies to various departments after completion. There is no need to worry about leaks before that." Wei Yansheng smiled, then picked up the thin sheets of paper with his bamboo-like fingers and motioned Su Ming to take them.
Su Ming stepped forward, grabbed the paper, and pulled it gently, but failed to move it.
He looked up at Wei Yansheng in confusion, and the old man smiled meaningfully: "Young man... just go for it."
"yes!"
Su Ming took the heavy authorization letter and turned back to Liu Lingshan.
It was not until Su Ming stood still that Xia Xiaoyu, who was still in shock, came back to her senses and asked Su Ming in a trembling voice: "Why do you want this order?"
"Xiaoyu, don't you understand yet? The Mystic Eye is not an easy organization to deal with." Su Ming turned to look at her, "Even if they are a group of trash with low combat effectiveness, after obtaining that kind of power, they can easily destroy an entire island like knocking over building blocks."
