Chapter 157 Secret History and Fragments [There are two things, the more deeply and persistently I think about them, the more the wonder and awe they evoke in my soul will change and grow day by day, these are the starry sky above my head and the moral law in my heart. ] 【This is one of the most famous sayings when humans were still living on earth. 】 【But now, not only is the starry sky gone, but the moral laws in people’s hearts have also disappeared. 】 [We gather here, swear an oath with blood, and promise to find the starry sky above our heads and what mankind once held fast to.] [Even if this is a road of no return. ] "Blood Words" - Prologue. Levi opened the notebook and wrote these words on the first page he saw. This notebook compiled and edited by Zhao Mingda is actually an introduction to the Blood Party organization. This is an organization that was established in the chaotic old century and has been passed down for hundreds of years. It has been committed to allowing all mankind to return to their homeland on the ground and restore the broken nature to its original state.
They have lofty ideals and are brought together by the same beliefs, and have fought for this for countless generations. The closest they have come to success was when they found four fragments of the laws of nature, and the total progress towards the goal of finding seven fragments has already been more than halfway achieved. But during that time, an unknown problem broke out, and all the Blood Gang members were purged almost overnight. Everything and everyone having anything to do with the Blood Gang became taboos among taboos. The royal family and the Council of Advisers destroyed all information and books about this organization and imposed a comprehensive ban on the entire underground society. No one was allowed to mention the period of returning to the ground, and all documents and files related to natural fragments were sealed and listed as extremely dangerous banned books. A series of policies and actions completely wiped out the entire Blood Party within three years. This purge lasted for three full years, and humans became completely indulged. From then on, newborn children would never be taught where humans originally lived, as if civilization had developed underground since its infancy. The barriers surrounding the entire city, the dome of clouds pressing down overhead that is almost suffocating, and the social structure with clear class divisions and no communication between the upper and lower levels, all seemed destined from the beginning. When Zhao Mingda wrote this note, it violated a serious taboo. Once the central government knew that he had written such a thing, he would definitely be subjected to mental examination and put in prison, no matter what his identity was. In this way, Levi came to this office at noon and kept looking at the note until it got dark. Only after he had roughly read the contents of the note did he look up at Zhao Mingda, who had been sitting in the office and had not gone anywhere else. "Did the royal family and the Council of Counsellors stab the Blood Party in the back and make all their efforts go to waste because they didn't want to give up their power and break the social structure that had been formed by the underground humans?" Levi asked this question. From the very beginning when he met Lin Chunmo in the Sun, the man with a mysterious background said that the group of people who found the light stone had suffered betrayal, and their relatives and friends hated the idea of returning to the ground because they were unwilling to give up the power in their hands. However, Li Wei did not see any similar analysis in Zhao Mingda's notes. As to why the Blood Gang was purged in the first place, there was only a vague statement of "unknown events". After hearing what Li Wei said, Zhao Mingda shook his head. "This rumor was once the most widely circulated and the most credible. But based on some of the inside information I learned from my past positions, this statement actually has a lot of problems." He said seriously. "What many people have misjudged is that the Blood Clan is not hostile to the royal family and the central government. In fact, at the beginning of the new century, they also played an indispensable role in the central government's ability to gain a dominant position recognized by all the underground cities in the East and West regions." "In order to find rules, they need a stable social environment. The centuries-long separatist cities in the old century, with their disagreements and even wars, seriously affected their progress. So when the central government was established, they supported it and contributed their efforts." "As for returning to the ground, it will affect the ruling status of the current royal family and the Council of Ministers. This argument is also untenable. Even if the world really returns to its natural order, the central government, which already possesses a large amount of resources and talents, will not be easily shaken."
"Although many people in the Blood Party are extremely dissatisfied with the imperial system, the overall consensus is that as long as the control of the rules is returned to nature and the absolute specialness between people is eliminated, the future society will always move in the direction of progress, and they don't need to intervene at all. Their biggest goal is to return to the ground and restore nature." "It is with this kind of tacit understanding that the Blood Party and the central government have always had a very good relationship. The Councillors' Cabinet made a great contribution to the four rule fragments that were found earlier." Zhao Mingda used some facts he knew to deny the claim that some people in the central government stabbed these blood party members because they were greedy for status and power. After reading these notes about the Blood Party, Levi's only doubt was this. He looked into Zhao Mingda's eyes. "So, teacher, you asked me to help you translate those documents, and the blood party recorded in the notes." "There is a fragment of the rules hidden in the academy, and it is one of the three fragments that the Blood Party has never found." Zhao Mingda said seriously. Levi also understood everything at this time. Sure enough, the news was correct. There was indeed a fragment hidden in the academy. He did not find the wrong place! But he certainly did not show such emotions on his face. As he looked into Zhao Mingda's eyes, he spoke with an extremely serious look. "Teacher, if what you wrote in your notes is correct, any act of searching for natural debris is unforgivable to the Central Government." "But so what?" Zhao Mingda said calmly, "Even if all those people are almost dead, and the four fragments that were originally found are now completely missing, there must be someone who still remembers that the dome above our heads was not covered by clouds like this, but a sky." "I don't know what happened in the past that caused the plan of mankind returning to land to fail, but I also want to give this road a try. I can't live a mediocre life underground. I also want to embark on the road that no one before me could finish." He told Levi about his ambitions in such a calm manner. If Levi reported this to the academy, Zhao Mingda would definitely die without a doubt, and his ending would definitely not be good. It was obvious that he needed Levi's help now, and based on what happened in the Discipline Department, he believed in his character, otherwise he would never have said such words. "So, what do you think, Vic?" Zhao Mingda crossed his hands in front of him. "Regarding finding this rule fragment in the academy, there are related clues in another part of the documents I asked you to translate before. Are you willing to take the risk of being discovered and continue to help me investigate the whereabouts of the rule fragment?" "Don't answer so quickly. Whether you are willing or not, I can make you a promise. The school board is using you as a knife to rectify the discipline of the regular students. Once you have done these things, they will abandon you and throw you to the upper-class dignitaries who have been offended to death to vent their anger." "I can help you avoid this ending. Although it won't make your future better, it will definitely not be affected by what happened in the school." Levi was not very tempted by Zhao Mingda's promise. He had never thought about what would happen next, and he didn't need to think about it at all. But Levi was very interested in where the piece of rule fragment in the academy was hidden. He planned to join the Discipline Department in order to gain higher authority and make a name for himself just for this matter, but now there seems to be a way to take a shortcut, and Levi certainly will not give up. "I'm willing to help you, teacher." Hearing his answer, a smile appeared on Zhao Mingda's face. He was actually taking a gamble. This matter involves too many things and will involve too many risks. If Levi refuses, he will not find it strange. He can only think of a way himself and start from other aspects. Now that Levi has agreed, this will undoubtedly save him a lot of energy and bring great help. "Okay! It's already late today, why don't you go back and rest first, and come to my place tomorrow, and we will continue to sort out the other English documents!" Zhao Mingda was obviously very excited, but he still did not forget the time. He knew that Li Wei had been very busy in the Discipline Department these two days and now needed to rest. But Levi seemed much more energetic than he had imagined, and waved his hand. "It's only seven o'clock now. There's still time, teacher. Take out all the documents now so we can finish the work overnight." Since he said so, Zhao Mingda naturally would not say anything more. Soon, he took out a safe from the inner room of the office, entered the password, and took out all the thick stacks of old documents inside.
The lights were turned up to the brightest and the documents were spread out on the long table. Zhao Mingda took notes with a pen and paper, while Li Wei translated them one by one into Chinese using spoken language. When they encountered a word they were not sure about, they used a dictionary to guess and try to figure out its meaning. Before they knew it, they had stayed up all night together. The morning bell rang in the college's central bell tower, and only then did Levi see the most crucial sentence in this document. "【The Broken Rules made their own choice. They were willing to help humans build a new home and create a new order deep underground. Humans gained the authority that originally belonged to nature, and used this authority to continue the fire of survival!" After reading this, Levi's eyes clearly focused! He easily thought of the key. This thing that can help humans gain the ability to control the rules of nature was given by the rules from the beginning! The academy's key-making process did not originally require the lives of specially recruited students, but an accident occurred during the process, which led to the change. But the key to the key must still be on that piece of rule fragment, which means that as long as he traces the source of all the key raw materials in the academy, he will have a chance to find the fragment! If Levi could think of this, then it was impossible for Zhao Mingda, who had already known the source of the key in advance, not to have thought of this. "The academy has extremely strict control over key production. The cellar that was invaded a month ago was only the final location for the keys to be prepared and stored. As for which raw material in the key configuration was produced by the rule fragments, people who are not involved in the process have no way of knowing or tracing it." Levi narrowed his eyes at this time. The highest rulers of this academy, the school directors, must be aware of the key-making process. Although the school directors are backed by various huge interest groups, some of them are not scientists at all, but just ordinary people. Levi has many ways to dig out the secrets he wants to know from ordinary people. The only problem is that the school directors usually have no contact with students, except at high-level meetings within the college, when they sometimes invite the ministers of the Student Union to report on their work to the school board. Originally, Levi was thinking that maybe he could take a shortcut from Zhao Mingda, but now it seems that he still has to follow the original plan. You have to enter the upper echelons of the student union to have the opportunity to come into contact with the college directors and have a chance to take action. Li Wei became more clear about his goal from these documents, but it was a bit disappointing for Zhao Mingda. He had previously learned about the function of this piece of rule fragment hidden in the academy by looking up the dictionary, and realized that the source of the key came from it. But even if he knew all this, Zhao Mingda had no chance to get in touch with the core members of the academy. Or rather, he once had such an opportunity, but because of his reaction after the librarian took him to the cellar, he completely lost this opportunity. From then on, it was obvious that the relationship between him and the senior faculty members in the college had become extremely distant, and they were basically just ordinary colleagues. "That's all for today. Thank you very much for your help, Vic. My promise is always valid. If you need my help in the academy, you can always come to me and ask for it." Zhao Mingda said to Li Wei. Levi nodded and left here with satisfaction. Whether it was about the Blood Gang or the fact that the keys in the academy were the product of rules, he gained a lot. Just as Levi was on his way back to the apartment to catch up on some sleep, he was thinking about how to continue to meet the needs of the college and quickly get promoted to the core level of the Student Union. On a road near the regular student dormitory, a hesitant and timid figure wearing a special student uniform saw him. After hesitating for a while, the special recruit gritted his teeth and walked towards Levi. (End of this chapter)
