Chapter 136 Quarrel Zhao Mingda was packing up his things in the library, preparing to finish his day's work and go home. The director of the library invited him to join them, and the two chatted and planned to go to the clock tower in the center of the college to have a few drinks. Three months have passed since he was transferred from the central government to the academy. He searched through all the information in the library, but did not find any clues related to the rule fragments. But Zhao Mingda had obviously planned to treat this as a long-term job. He was not impatient, but instead got along well with the director of the library. "I heard that the team from the Institute of Discipline and Rehabilitation that recently came to the academy for an inspection was led by one of your former subordinates." Hearing this, Zhao Mingda just shook his head and smiled. "What old subordinate? Did he show any concern for me when he was investigating me?" "This proves that you did a good job as deputy director. Your subordinates are strict in their work and have no social connections." "No matter how many nice things you say to me, I can't get them to relax their censorship." "Hahaha, what do you think of me? I will be interrogated if necessary. I believe that all teachers in the academy are upright and have nothing to fear. We are all a bunch of old stubborn people who can only do research. Who would have problems with their thinking?"
Just as Zhao Mingda was walking into the bell tower while chatting with the curator, he suddenly stopped and looked at a door under the bell tower and asked in confusion. "I've been here many times, and there are no other buildings around the clock tower. Where does this door lead to?" The curator also looked at the door that Zhao Mingda mentioned, and a meaningful expression appeared on his face. "Old Zhao, don't you know?" "What should I know?" "It seems that you were not in charge of this business of the academy in the Institute of Discipline and Rehabilitation. I remember that there were three deputy directors in your institute before, and each of them was in charge of different tasks." The curator patted him on the shoulder and invited him. "That's perfect. Anyway, you're at a high enough rank now. Do you want to come in with me and take a look?" Zhao Mingda was also aroused by his mysterious look. He originally came to the academy to look for fragments of rules. The more secret the place, the more he wanted to know about it. So the curator took him and used his authority to open the solemn alloy door. The two of them walked down the stairs to the bottom of the clock tower, then took a sliding electric track and soon arrived at the laboratory under the Zhiming River. This is obviously the core of the college. All kinds of cutting-edge research are concentrated here. Zhao Mingda even saw the legendary deadly weapon called Gungnir here. "Didn't they say the gun was missing?" The curator answered his doubts. "It was missing. It disappeared for a while when Green Sun attacked the center and stole some of the Shadow Prime Minister's data. But later the royal family found it in the central fortress cave. When it was found, it had already broken down, so the gun was stored in the academy. The plan to repair it has been in preparation for more than ten years, but still no suitable solution has been found." As they went deeper, Zhao Mingda saw more things that surprised even him, the former deputy director of the Science and Rehabilitation Institute. Not long after, they also walked into the room where the "river" was flowing on the ceiling and 42 special admissions students were lying on the beds nearby.
As soon as he walked in, Zhao Mingda was stunned. "What is this place for?" The curator seemed to be quite unconcerned about this. In his opinion, this was probably the least noticeable project in the entire cellar. "We are making keys. Recently, the academy has produced many talented people. The keys that have been preserved since the old century were able to maintain a stable income and expenditure. However, due to the increase in the use of keys, we have to expand production." Zhao Mingda stood there without moving. He just stared at the student with a dead look on his face. "Why are keys made of humans? I've never heard of this before!" The curator didn't notice the change in Zhao Mingda's expression at all, and he still spoke proudly. "In the past, the efficiency of key production was too slow and could not meet the needs of the students in the academy. Later, the 87th principal improved the key production process, which led to the current prosperity of the academy and the glory of the dungeon." Zhao Mingda's face looked extremely ugly. He seemed to have completely lost any desire to continue chatting with the person in front of him. He just turned around and left. After waiting for a long time and hearing no response from behind, the library director couldn't help but turn around. He looked at Zhao Mingda's back as he walked away quickly, full of confusion. He shouted twice, but still did not stop the figure who seemed to be trying to escape from this place. After walking out of the cellar, Zhao Mingda had no intention of stopping. He got on the tram with a clear goal in mind, and then came to the residence of the team from the Science and Rehabilitation Institute who came to the college for an inspection. The reviewers who were having dinner were all surprised by Zhao Mingda's sudden visit. They all knew that their deputy director had taken the initiative to ask the director for a transfer and came to the college. When they first came, I also told them privately not to act like they were very familiar with him in the academy and to interrogate them as they should. But now, he found it openly. Zhao Mingda ignored the glances coming over. He just looked at the leader of the review team with a gloomy face. "Huang Xuan, come here!" The team leader whose name was called walked over with a puzzled look on his face, and he followed Zhao Mingda to a private corner. "Boss Zhao, what's wrong?" As Zhao Mingda's former direct subordinate, even though the two no longer have a superior-subordinate relationship, Huang Xuan still behaved very respectfully. "Do you know how the keys to the academy are produced now?" Zhao Mingda's voice was stern and he stared closely into Huang Xuan's eyes. Huang Xuan fell silent obviously. Under Zhao Mingda's gaze, he spoke after more than ten seconds. "Before I came, the director talked to me privately about some things and told me what I could and could not check." Although he did not admit it directly, this was the same as admitting it. The expression on Zhao Mingda's face became even more gloomy. "Human lives! They are using the lives of students in the academy to make keys! This has actually started since the 87th president, which means that for nearly 200 years, all scientists have had another person's blood in their bodies! If this is not considered a violation of the Taboo Act! Then what else is not allowed!" Huang Xuan didn't dare to look directly into Zhao Mingda's eyes. "But, before I came, the director had already told me that some things have to be flexible. Not only the school board of directors, but also the Discipline and Discipline Institute, the cabinet and the royal family are all aware of this matter and have acquiesced. The Taboo Act can no longer keep up with the current era. Some things should be turned a blind eye."
When Zhao Mingda heard his words, his face turned pale. He seemed to be extremely unbelievable to get such an answer. "Acquiesced? The royal family and the cabinet knew about it? Did the academy report it to the higher-ups long ago?" "Yes." "Using the lives of their own people as raw materials! Making things that were once taboo the norm now! What is the need for such a royal family and such a cabinet to exist? Who are they protecting? And who is protecting them!" Huang Xuan's face changed drastically when he heard Zhao Mingda's fierce and rebellious remarks! He stared into Zhao Mingda's eyes. "Boss Zhao! How can you say that! What people's lives? They are just a few special recruits. Using their lives can gain more control over scientific rules. What's wrong with that? You are too pedantic!" "Am I just being pedantic? Or are you all crazy?" "Stop talking! You are no longer the deputy director of the rehabilitation center! I still respect you, but if you continue to pester me like this, I will have to suspect that there is something wrong with your thinking, and I will initiate a personal ideological investigation against you!" Their quarrel grew louder and louder, soon attracting the attention of the other members of the group. Zhao Mingda just had a cold face and pointed at Huang Xuan as if his body was shaking with anger. Finally, he could not say anything and turned around and left. College, Principal's Office. The library director sat opposite the principal Xin Guohong with an apologetic look on his face. "I didn't think it through. I thought Zhao Mingda had been in the detention center for so long that he must understand some things." Xin Guohong just waved his hand. "It's not your fault. His status is indeed high enough, but he is a bit old-fashioned and can't accept such things. But it doesn't matter, he will figure it out later. Everything we do is not for our own selfish desires, but for the cabinet, the royal family, and the entire underground human race." "So what should we do after this incident?" "No need to do anything. Just keep an eye on him as much as possible and don't let him do anything irrational. Also, keep your mouth shut recently. I have heard some rumors about the [Changping Warehouse] plan in the academy. After you leave me, help me tell the discipline director to take good care of this matter." His tone suddenly became extremely serious and earnest. "Especially, we must not let such rumors spread to the Twilight Church, otherwise that dangerous person whose thoughts have long been judged to be extremely dangerous will definitely cause big trouble!" "I see!" Xin Guohong nodded and leaned back in his chair with a relaxed body. "As for the special recruitment class, I remember you are in charge of it this time, right? You need to be more responsible for them in the next month. There have been many good students in the past few years. I remember one of them committed a serious crime, but we didn't deal with him in advance." "These are all valuable talents. The making and production of keys is one thing, but the most important thing for us to remember is to recover what we once abandoned!" (End of this chapter)
