#544 - Chapter 544: More Urgent Than You
"Okay, that's it for now. Once these next few days are over, we'll reconnect. Keep an eye on things at the base and just maintain stability," Dongfang Chen said simply.
The robots were constantly monitoring, not allowing any sensitive words to be mentioned.
"Xiaolin, a warship will be heading to Lop Nur later. Upon arrival, it will drop the crystal cores and the Queen Bee. When that happens, make arrangements to build a small underground base there, mainly for communication relay."
"Understood, Commander."
"Okay, that's all."
"Commander, monitoring indicates that the communication channel is being monitored. This authorization may be risky," Xiaolin reminded.
"Understood. Establish a firewall on this channel. If there is any danger, disconnect immediately."
"Understood, Commander."
Currently, communication between the flying saucer and the space station is too dangerous and may be interrupted at any time, so it is not open to special operations team members. Once the Lop Nur communication relay station is established, they will be able to contact their loved ones at the base.
"Has the warship built for the Mayans been completed?" Dongfang Chen asked.
"It has been completed."
"In that case, it's inconvenient for me to contact them. You send these warships to Mexico first, and equip each warship with a guiding robot. I will draft a message later, and the guiding robot will deliver it on my behalf."
"Understood, Commander."
After explaining these matters, Dongfang Chen immediately disconnected.
Although it is highly unlikely that the survivors of Sirius would discover this communication.
It's definitely right to keep the risk to a minimum.
Today is the last day of 2056.
However, not only did China not feel the joy of the New Year, but it was also deeply shrouded in a layer of dark clouds.
The five underground bases directly under Kyoto have surrounded the Parliament Building for a full six days.
Baili Ji has not come forward or given any explanation so far.
Suo Tonghua and Zongzhen Yue were closer to Kyoto and originally planned to send troops to support Kyoto.
But this request was rejected by Baili Ji.
"Old Qin, there are dozens of warships surrounding us outside, and the impact is too bad. What are you waiting for? If this continues, there may be trouble," Baili Ji paced back and forth in the office.
"Wait a little longer, we'll make a decision after the trial," Old Qin said, drinking tea without any panic.
"There are over two hundred people, how long will it take to try them all?" Baili Ji asked anxiously.
"Soon, it will be over in three to five days."
"Three to five days!? No, Old Qin, can you hurry up? Bombarding the Parliament Building is not a joke," Baili Ji was about to cry.
"Let's see who dares?" Old Qin glared and said.
"It's not a matter of daring or not. People are gathered here, and it's easy for riots to occur," Baili Ji said.
"Don't worry, they are more anxious than you are."
"Why?"
"They didn't clean up their tracks."
"Old Qin, didn't you say that this period is not suitable for digging up old scores? First, unite the people and stabilize the overall situation. How come now..."
"What are you talking about? Am I such a petty person?" Old Qin was amused.
"Then what are you doing...?"
"Don't ask, it's not appropriate to disclose it now."
"Then, should we release some news first to reassure everyone?"
"Wait a little longer," Old Qin replied.
"... Okay!" Baili Ji was helpless and could only obey.
......
Interrogation room.
"Have you ever seen this thing?" The interrogator took out a photo, which was the Yin-Yang Fish Jade Pendant.
"I've seen it, I've seen it!"
"When did you see it?"
"It was a long time ago, I should have still been working at the Kyoto Museum at the time."
"Think carefully, when exactly was it?"
"Let me think, 41 years? Oh no, 40 years, yes, 40 years!" The person being interrogated was very flustered.
"How much do you remember about what happened then? Tell me in detail!"
"Okay, okay, okay! Let me think. It should have been in the summer of 40 years. One afternoon, I received a call from the local Public Security Department, saying that a piece of loot was found in a smuggling case, which looked like an antique, and asked me to go over and identify it. That antique was the thing in the photo. It should be called the Yin-Yang Fish Jade Pendant."
......
The people from the secret investigation team were interrogating the people who had come into contact with the Yin-Yang Fish Jade Pendant at that time, as well as the relevant staff responsible for forming the archaeological team.
Old Qin clearly remembered that 13 of the 18 members of the archaeological team were killed on the spot by the Sand People. Of the remaining 5, apart from himself, the other 4 all suffered severe mental disorders.
What does this mean?
It means that at least 13 of the 18 members of the archaeological team were members of the Manichean sect?
This proportion is too high.
Who can stand this?
Were arrangements made for these people to enter the archaeological team smoothly?
If the archaeological team is like this, what about other aspects?
How many people in China's official ranks are hidden Manichean members?
No one can sleep peacefully without figuring out this problem.
