537: Chapter 181 Six Dragons Sect Organizational Structure 537: Chapter 181 Six Dragons Sect Organizational Structure “We’ve found the chemical residue…”

Several elite members of the Six Dragons Sect were scanning the ground with their instruments.

In fact, they had not expended much effort to locate Xiang Shan’s direction.

The reason was simple.

Xiang Shan, who had come from the era of Natural People, would indeed assume that the indoor firefighting sprinkler system sprayed water.

But actually, if you think about it, in a situation where everyone has a Prosthetic Body, “water” is not exactly a friendly substance.

Especially in places like repair stations that would expose internal machinery.

Therefore, what that sprinkler system emitted was not water, but a highly volatile firefighting agent.

Moreover, since everyone was Cybernetically Enhanced People, the chemical agents that would be toxic to Natural People could also be used as firefighting agents.

Xiang Shan had been sprayed all over with it.

Moreover, the current Xiang Shan did not have an olfactory system or a chemical molecule detection system, so he didn’t realize this immediately.

After all, his core consciousness was equivalent to having traveled straight from two hundred years prior.

This just slightly touched upon some areas he hadn’t thought of.

It was because the firefighting agent on him was a specific chemical, rather than commonly found water, that made it easier to trace.

However, Guardian Zhi felt not the slightest relief.

According to the concentration of the chemicals on the ground, they determined the approximate time when the other party had passed through.

And they had specifically retrieved surveillance footage and visual records from soldiers who had passed by at that time.

Similarly, they found the records without much trouble.

A Hero, just like that, naturally passed through the soldiers rushing to the scene, as if he were an officer on patrol.

And according to the friend or foe identification system’s response records, that man seemed to actually be one of the Protectors.

—But this was certainly false.

The repair station where the fire broke out did not have any reports before or after the incident.

This indicated that before the fire, all personnel within the station were controlled or killed.

And that man was covered in firefighting agent, showing he was at the repair site when the fire started.

He was definitely not one of their own.

Thus, there was only one conclusion.

“He forged an identity and tricked the identification system…” Guardian Zhi watched the robust figure on the video.

Soon after, a new report emerged.

“We’ve extracted the identification system’s records, but found that the ID recorded by that system does not exist in the database.

It’s probably a self-deleting temporary identity…”

A remote Internal Martial Artist of the Six Dragons Sect reported.

Guardian Zhi took a deep breath, “No need…

I think we’ve already locked onto him.”

The Six Dragons Sect Internal expert remotely in charge, who was not following the team, said with surprise, “Really?

That’s great.”

“It’s not great at all…” Guardian Zhi sighed as if exhaling, “He’s headed straight for the Central Building…

He must have already entered the Central Building by now.”

“He’s very confident, he’s already made his way in.”

This assessment caused Guardian Zhi to feel a chill.

—Is this the level of Inner Strength that could have killed Wan…?

—It’s terrifying…

…………………………………

The organizational structure of the Six Dragons Sect is somewhat similar to the government.

It can be roughly divided into two systems—research and combat.

The vast majority of Sect Members of the Six Dragons Sect are Scientific Knights.

These Scientific Knights form the foundation of the Sect, operating in every aspect of a research project to supply resources for the Six Dragons Sect.

Meanwhile, the Sect develops covertly, circumventing the Dyson principle to establish a more efficient organization, redistributing the resources in its hands.

Above the base members are the “Hermits.”

The Hermits of the Six Dragons Sect all manage their own projects, working specifically to solve certain tasks, only accepting missions from the Sect when necessary.

Most of their time, they’re not involved in the specific affairs of the Sect.

The Hermits are also the backbone of the Sect.

That’s the “research” line.

In addition, there are the Sect’s Defenders.

These Sect Defenders are recruited from the Martial World.

They handle some of the “dirty work” that the Scientific Knights are not suited for.

The Sect Defenders are controlled by “Banner Leaders” from various places.

However, they are not numerous and are often mixed among the Hermits who are Scientific Knights and their Squires.

When an individual’s martial power surpasses the normal range, they are not confined to a single place but travel to execute missions, taking down those “tough nuts to crack.” Those who are at this stage in the Martial Faction are known as “protectors.”

Above the protectors are the “Sect-protecting Dharma Kings.” The number of Sect-protecting Dharma Kings in the Six Dragons Sect is even fewer than the Kings, and they possess exceedingly high authority within the Sect.

Then come the “Holy Envoys,” “Elders,” and “Sect Hierarchs.”

“Holy Envoys” are responsible for liaising and maneuvering among various projects.

They are generally Scientific Knights, often from fields that provide plenty of opportunities for field research.

Holy Envoys are the main connection between the “Elder Council,” the “Sect Hierarch,” and the Sect Members.

The direct leaders of the Holy Envoys are the “Six Dragons Holy Envoys” and “Holy Maidens.” They are all trusted by the Sect Hierarch.

Such a group has a very diverse origin, with all kinds of people and differing demands.

“So, this is why you said ‘you can’t give me a clear answer’, right?” Xiang Shan nodded, “Alright, it’s quite a scientific approach.

You deserve some praise for that.”

Isin nodded silently—though he did not know why he should nod.

“The most definite goal of this group is ‘to rebel against Yawgmoth’, right?”

“That is correct.”

Xiang Shan’s tone became more somber, “But there must be quite a few ‘Hermits’ like you and the Hermit of Heavenly Machine, huh?”

“I am a typical…

Hermit.

The Hermit of Heavenly Machine…

I…

ah…”

This seemed to have touched upon a blind spot in this Vice Captain’s cognition.

“You don’t know…

that figures.” Xiang Shan sighed, ceasing to talk.

He then meticulously searched the Sect Hermit’s Prosthetic Body system yet found no programs that could be used to decode the punched cards.

It seemed these punched cards were actually punched cards, and not “ordinary encrypted files that look like punched cards.”

Afterwards, he rummaged for a while longer and found a mechanical safe in the office of this Vice Captain.

Xiang Shan had the Vice Captain open the safe himself.

Inside was a machine…

a part of it?

This machine part looked quite intricate.

It was a component of a complete Difference Engine, with numerous gears being invisible.

Xiang Shan’s extensive knowledge of engineering told him that once taken apart, it would get damaged and be difficult to restore.
