Atlas of Heaven and Earth
Chapter 400: Inheritance
"The powerful Active Consciousness Entities are the builders and participants of the World Ring. They can open the Fissure between two worlds, allowing the defending Strength to enter the Convergence Zone between the two worlds to fight against the opposing existences. Each Company can also bring back relics from this, and through research, their technology can be advanced."
Meng Lai then leaned down and started to move down the metal stairs, saying, "Follow me."
Meng Shu came to the other side of the metal ladder and carefully moved down. After descending about three or four meters, her feet touched solid ground.
She found that the space here was much larger than what she had seen from above. At this moment, she heard a sound, and the lights turned on all the way, extending down the tunnel below.
She saw that there was also an elevator parked here. Meng Lai went over and beckoned her to come in.
After she stood inside, Meng Lai pulled up the Guardrail, then gestured to the Control panel and said, "First open the safety gate, then pull that lever."
Meng Shu followed his instructions and walked to the front of the Control panel, pushed up the sliding key of the safety gate, and then tried to pull the lever, but found that she couldn''t exert any Strength with one hand, so she used both hands together to pull it to the end. The elevator vibrated, and then with a series of clanging sounds, it slowly descended downwards.
Meng Lai continued, "Li Ying used to be only an appendage of the Government. When opening the door, she needed to borrow the Strength of the Great Shun Government, and each time required review and approval.
And although the relics brought back from outside were placed in the Company for research, they were essentially the property of the Great Shun Government, not our own.
But if Li Ying can grow stronger, then she can freely enter and exit the Convergence Zone between the two worlds, and arrange for Martial Artists to find relics for us. The Company will have greater prospects and development Strength.
This is a privilege only conglomerate and large company possess. Our Fusion Boundary must find a way to squeeze into this rank, so that we can have the ability to protect ourselves in the upcoming world collisions, instead of being discarded or pushed out as sacrifices."
Because of the lights on both sides of the elevator, Meng Shu saw light and shadow alternately flashing across Meng Lai "s face and body. She wondered if she looked the same at this moment.
"This decision was a bit hasty, but it had to be made."
At this moment, they passed a light, and Meng Lai "s voice came from the darkness.
"Meng Huang has completely trusted and leaned towards that existence. We can''t let him continue like this. And you, Xiaoshu, successfully resisted the attack he launched, which proves that you have the ability to be a successor. In order not to give him too much reaction time, I immediately arranged this meeting.
In fact, a long time ago, I started planning the plan to trap that existence. All the conditions are ready, so this matter is likely to be achieved.
In my plan, I would first use Yu Auntie and the Sword Guards to consume its Strength, and when it arrived here, I would use the ritual and Li Ying "s Strength to finally capture and absorb it.
However, any plan is just a plan. After I came into contact with it, I found that the existence that came this time was of a higher level than I had previously thought, which greatly increased the difficulty of subsequent actions.
In fact, I had already given up on this action at that time. The previous intervention of the Processing Bureau was actually to support this plan, so that it would not be out of control in the end.
But what I didn''t expect was…"
Meng Lai looked at Meng Shu , "That existence was actually eliminated independently by your classmate , without the need for anyone else to intervene. I rarely hear Yu Auntie praise someone. Your classmate is one of them. I heard that you gave him all the Drugs resources the Company gave you?" Sear?h the ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
"Yes."
Meng Lai nodded and said, "You did very well. Only enough investment can be rewarded. Well, now that you are the successor, give Meng Huang "s share to him as well. Either don''t invest, or invest to the end.
I said that martial force is the fundamental guarantee. In addition to Active Consciousness Entities like Li Ying , Martial Artists also need to be befriended and won over."
Meng Shu was silent for a moment and said, "I understand, Grandpa."
At this moment, the elevator finally made a loud noise and vibrated slightly, finally landing on the ground.
Meng Lai pushed open the Guardrail and walked towards the place illuminated by the mining lights in front. When Meng Shu came out, she noticed that Li Ying was already standing in front of them, as if waiting for them there.
The space below was very large, and underfoot were dense and complex ritual patterns. When walking over them, the various colors of fluorescence inside flickered from time to time, as if something was flowing inside.
Not far in front, under the soft light, she saw a flat metal cylinder carved with patterns, with two spout-like openings extending from the left and right, and a lid with a Jiaotu ring handle on top.
Meng Lai said, "Li Ying "s body is stored in there, and my body is below." He stretched out his hand, "Xiaoshu, go to the front and stand there."
Meng Shu walked over without hesitation and stood in front of one of the openings.
"Put your hand there."
Meng Lai said from behind.
Meng Shu tentatively raised her hand and placed it in front of the opening, only feeling a slight pain, as if something had bitten her. She subconsciously retracted her hand and looked at it, seeing a tiny wound in the palm of her hand.
Meng Lai said, "This is to exchange her body tissue with your blood. In the future, within a certain range, you can find her at any time and let her serve you and transmit information and orders."
Meng Shu put down her hand and looked at Meng Lai and said, "Grandpa, I have a question."
"Ask."
"Grandpa has been planning to strengthen the Active Consciousness Entity all along. Aren''t you afraid of the Processing Bureau finding out?"
Meng Lai smiled and said, "If we succeed in this matter, eliminate the opposing existence, and let Li Ying grow stronger, then the Processing Bureau will not say anything. Although there will be grudges, they will be more cautious when dealing with matters related to us.
If we don''t succeed, I will then announce my retirement and let you, Xiaoshu, take over the Company. This will be an explanation to them."
Meng Shu looked at him and said, "I have always wanted to ask, why did Grandpa choose me?"
Meng Lai said, "Among the younger generation, you are calm and rational in your work, listen to the opinions of others, and have the ability to make decisions at critical moments. Even if you know there are difficulties, you dare to make up your mind.
However, these traits are not unique to you among the other members of the younger generation, so in addition to these, there is another more important reason. Special consciousness entities do not stay close to everyone. Even if you can drive her, whether you are compatible with her or not makes a big difference in the results.
Among the many members of the younger generation, only you and Meng Huang are the most compatible with Li Ying .
And now, only you are left."
Meng Shu had no way of knowing whether this was really the case, but she could only accept this answer, so she asked another question:
"Grandpa said that Li Ying is the foundation for the Company''s continuation, and that no one in the Company is irreplaceable. Grandpa said that includes himself, and that must also include me. Then, who is the Company for?"
Meng Lai smiled and said, "There are some things that you may find difficult to understand now, but you will understand soon. As the successor of the Company, you are always the closest to the answer. Until then, you just need to do as I say."
At the same time, inside a Building in the Luminous Dew District, a capable woman with shoulder-length short hair was smoking a cigarette, crossing her legs, and contacting the other side of the Boundary Token.
A voice came from the Boundary Token at this time: "Sister Huan , the higher-ups are very dissatisfied with us. The loss of the Gong Family''s important items has forced us to launch the second plan. Now Meng Huang is also finished, and without Meng Huang "s cooperation, the second plan cannot be advanced. Now the higher-ups want us to give an explanation."
Sister Huan said, "Explain what? What does it have to do with us? Gong Zhanyi himself failed to deliver the items, and Meng Huang "s failure is even more ridiculous. That''s basically his own business. Which time have we not cooperated with him? We''ve done everything we can. This matter cannot be blamed on us."
The voice in the Boundary Token said, "But Sister Huan , there''s no use in arguing about this matter anymore. Now that the plan cannot be advanced, the higher-ups doubt the execution ability of our action team and are discussing replacing us with another action team."
Sister Huan twirled her hair with her finger, smiled faintly, and said, "Okay, whoever wants to take over can take over. I''d like to see who is more suitable than us at the moment?"
The voice on the other side paused, and said somewhat helplessly, "But Sister Huan , things can''t go on like this. The higher-ups'' patience has a Limit…"
Sister Huan said, "Speak directly."
The person in the Boundary Token immediately fell silent and whispered, "Since there is no progress, the higher-ups require us to carry out targeted eliminate according to the target listed by "Wu Qi "."
Sister Huan raised her eyebrows, "Wu Qi ?"
"I know Sister Huan that you hate Wu Qi "s suggestions the most, but now that the plan has no progress, the higher-ups can only try the plan given by Wu Qi first."
Sister Huan stood up from the sofa and walked around the room, saying, "target?"
The other side seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and immediately sent a Data over. Immediately, a lot of people''s Data and information appeared on the light screen in front of Sister Huan , and one of them was Chen Chuan "s Data.
She also paused when she saw Chen Chuan "s Data, saying, "This handsome young man seems to be the one who defeated Wei Wusheng ?"
"Yes, Meng Huang "s failure this time is related to this person. Wu Qi believes that this person will be among those who will hinder the Company in the future, and may be very harmful, so he suggests eliminate him as soon as possible."
Sister Huan didn''t think so, "The future? I never believe in those things, but, it doesn''t matter," she walked to the window and looked out. Just within reach, the huge Ferris Wheel was slowly turning there, and she said, "Since it is the Company''s arrangement, I accept this task."
