Chapter 217 Secret Meeting Just as Levi guessed. The paradise plan was an open conspiracy. The top leaders at the central government knew that there must be something wrong with this plan, and the church did not try to hide the fact that there were problems, but after it was spread, there was no way to stop the momentum of its spread. The only thing the higher-ups could do to stop it was to issue a strong order to list all the silver cards and communicators issued by the church as contraband and prohibit their circulation on the market. But this kind of thing is a blatant manifestation of the falling out between the cabinet, the royal family and the church, and it is very likely to have a counterproductive effect. The more it is banned, the wider and faster it will spread! So, without any hindrance, five days passed from the first day of the park's release. Nowadays, entering the theme park has become a trend. Even some high-end hospitals use it to treat some mental illnesses, and the effect is extremely significant. The central news media's attitude towards this matter has also changed from cautious reporting in the beginning to full praise today! They claimed that the emergence of the paradise was the greatest patent in the past hundred years, and that such a thing should not be confined to the central area. Now the entire East District is in chaos because many people are trapped in unsatisfied desires. The cabinet should try to reach a cooperation with the church to simplify the entrance to the paradise and promote it to the entire East Region. This will eliminate the dissatisfaction among the lower classes and bring peace back to the world!
As soon as such remarks appeared, they spread throughout the central government, causing the great diocese located in the central suburbs, which was usually visited by few people, to be completely surrounded by all kinds of luxury cars. Even some of the politicians who were quite resistant to this matter at first could not resist the temptation and came to the church to donate money to join the paradise. There are even rumors that the royal family has contacted the church privately, donated money and asked for a batch of cards and communicators. The church acted as if it welcomed everyone. No matter who came, as long as they donated money, they would get as many communicators and cards as they wanted. Just when the entire central government was caught up in a paradise craze, the two research institutes of biology and physics had already joined together, and under the urgent order of the cabinet, began to analyze the two paradise entrances issued by the church. With the personal involvement of senior researchers and a deputy director at the chosen level in this project, these people soon made some extraordinary progress. "In addition to the relevant authority of the Shadow Prime Minister, we did find the underlying structure of Twilight. Before the first Twilight Pope founded the Twilight Church, he was one of the guardians of the Material Tower. Some of his research was also passed down after the Biological Institute was established. This paradise uses these technologies, but... strangely, not all of them are used." The cabinet representative obviously didn't understand their academic words and couldn't help but frown. "Can you explain it more clearly?" When the members of the research team looked at him, their eyes were obviously filled with dissatisfaction towards this uneducated person, but the ultimate purpose of this briefing was to explain clearly to the higher-ups what the paradise was, so they suppressed their dissatisfaction and asked the speaker to speak in plain and straightforward language. "The core of Twilight's structure is to lead a strand of the believer's brain nerves to the world created by the church. Once the real world perishes, the Twilight world will be activated, and the people whose brain nerves are separated can survive in that world in another way. It's like a person separating out an avatar and hiding this avatar in a safe room. Once the person's life is in danger, the avatar in the safe room becomes the real person, and the safe room is transformed from a narrow space into a brand new world." "But the structure of Paradise is the opposite. People who enter Paradise do not let a part of themselves enter the safe room like joining Twilight. Instead, the Church uses the virtual data authority of the Shadow Prime Minister to impose this safe room on people's consciousness at a certain time after reaching the trigger standard. It is like a room within a room. People are still in the real world, Paradise is also in the real world, but people's consciousness is locked in Paradise. And there, the more the consciousness lacks something, the more Paradise will show it to people, and this makes people's wishes come true." After the research group's speaker's painstaking explanation, the cabinet representative finally understood some of the principles, but his problems still existed. "So, this paradise is just like this? Its entire function is to allow people to have a sweet dream and sleep well, and there are no other consequences?" This is what the cabinet and the royal family are focusing on. They don’t care what the principles of paradise are. The only thing they care about is what the church wants to do with this thing! The speaker did not speak again. Instead, the deputy director of the Institute of Biology, who personally led the team and was a chosen one who governed the rules, spoke up. "Shadow Prime Minister and Twilight are both the existences with the highest number of rules in the world. Paradise has included them both, one for dissemination and the other for construction. If we must say that these things are harmful, then their harmfulness can only come from Twilight, because it is equivalent to turning the entire basic world of Twilight upside down on the human brain, and the core of Twilight has always been controlled by the church. We have neither the ability nor the right to analyze it." "I know the cabinet and the royal family want a result, but the only answer we can give now is that Paradise and Twilight are two in one. If Twilight is harmless, then Paradise is harmless. Conversely, if Twilight is harmful, then Paradise has the same characteristics." The cabinet representatives looked puzzled.
"The dangers of Twilight? Why did the church say that Twilight is dangerous? In their mouths, that world is almost the most perfect Garden of Eden!" "That means the paradise is also the most perfect paradise, because they are exactly the same." The cabinet representative hurried back to the cabinet after taking the two major research institutes to understand the basis for their judgment. At this time, the prime minister of the cabinet, the chairman of the council, and the great clan leader of the royal family, almost the three people who held actual power in the entire central government, were sitting here. The prime minister Hu Cheng, who presided over the meeting, sat in the main seat, while Da Zongfan, who represented the royal family, sat on two chairs side by side. However, Da Zongfan's chair was slightly back, indicating that the cabinet's decisions and orders were superior to the voice of the royal family. The cabinet representative who rushed back from the research institute relayed the research team's words, causing everyone present to become quiet for a moment. After a long time, the chairman of the political council frowned and spoke. "Twilight is from the church. This involves internal church affairs. We have no right to interfere. But what about the Shadow Prime Minister?" His question was obviously directed at Hu Cheng, because although the shadow prime minister's daily maintenance and existence are carried out by the Institute of Physics, the cabinet actually has the real management and use authority. Hu Cheng didn't answer, he just clapped his hands and called out to the air. "Your Mightiness." In this conference room without any sound-generating equipment, in the middle of the long table, there was suddenly a ripple of air twisting, and then a voice appeared out of nowhere, responding to Hu Cheng's call. "Good evening, Mr. Prime Minister." It was a light female voice, it was hard to tell whether it was old or young, and it had the calmness and indifference unique to an electronic synthesized sound. Hu Cheng crossed his hands on the long table and asked the question on behalf of everyone else in the room. "How much authority do you have in the church? Why can you share your own infrastructure?" "You are not authorized to answer this question, Mr. Prime Minister." The female voice in the air replied. Such an answer is obviously unacceptable to those who participate in political discussions. The shadow prime minister's greatest authority lies in the hands of the cabinet, or to be more precise, in the hands of successive prime ministers. This is why it is called the shadow prime minister, and it is also the key reason why the cabinet's authority is higher than that of the royal family. But now, its answer is that Hu Cheng does not have enough authority! "If even the cabinet prime minister's authority is not enough, then who else has enough authority?" The chairman of the Political Council said coldly, "The purpose of your creation is to serve the entire central government!" "I was created to record human survival activities, monitor the possibility of human extinction, and help humans maintain world rules. Mr. Chairman, there is no responsibility to serve the entire central government." The female voice answered very calmly, just like all her previous words. But such words obviously made the chairman of the Political Consultative Conference turn pale. He was actually confronted by this artificial intelligence! The Dazong Fan who was sitting behind Hu Cheng also looked ugly, and he asked. "I know your highest authority. It was previously in the hands of the person who awakened you. But wasn't he later ordered to be purged because he endangered the safety of all mankind? After that, who else could inherit this authority? The only one left is the Prime Minister!" "You don't have enough authority for me to answer this question, Mr. Dazongfan."
The female voice still replied in that flat voice. "Okay, there is nothing for you to do here, you can leave." Before Da Zongfan opened his mouth to say anything else, Hu Cheng spoke to the ripples in the air. Then the ripples disappeared in the air, and the ethereal electronic female voice also disappeared. "What is the highest authority? Why is there no record of this in the files of political participation and consultation?" The chairman of the Political Consultative Conference looked obviously unhappy, and he asked with a gloomy face. Da Zongfan didn't say anything, so Hu Cheng replied. "What do you think the former Blood Gang relied on to find those fragments of rules in this underground world?" (End of this chapter)
