Weisman did not laugh, but replied seriously: "His Excellency, the chief priest, was away from home for something and could not make it back."
"As long as he doesn't object."
Ronan liked this situation very much, as it saved him trouble and unnecessary words.
Next, the two got on the gyrocopter and headed to the headquarters of the Order of Justice.
The gyrocopter flew over the famous artificial canal. The ships on the canal were still quite large. However, according to Ronan's limited geographical and economic knowledge, the current shipping volume was not enough to support this huge urban circle.
It's not even a "sign".
The current "symbol" and "backbone" of Ai City is undoubtedly the Justice Order.
In this sense, the characterization of the "Secret Order" of the Justice Order is quite strange.
On a material level, the headquarters of the Just Order in Ai City can be considered low-key. The area it is located in is wide at the bottom and narrow at the top. Dozens of high-rise buildings are clustered together, interspersed with high-end natural green jungles, like a hill made of reinforced concrete.
In fact, it is a very large community that integrates commercial, residential, green space, etc., similar to the "Boshan Building" in Hewu District, Xiacheng, where the "Shenyu Taoist Hall" of the master of the temple was once located.
There are always a few similar areas in a large metropolitan area, and they are not too eye-catching.
It's not like the one in Xicheng where a unique and magnificent temple was built in the center of the city.
But the entire area, and even other surrounding facilities, are the property of the Justice Church, and most of the people who work and live there are believers of the Church. This is an exaggeration.
The meaning here is quite strange.
Since the Justice Order is the "backbone" in Ai City, it must master the geographical balance, sort out the balance of interests, and persist in promoting the so-called "truth"... It's quite complicated when you think about it, and it's very difficult to do.
It is complete, and precisely because it is incomplete, it feels very torn.
Weisman introduced some basic information about the sect's headquarters to Ronan. The latter was also a little emotional. The rotorcraft landed quickly without fermentation.
On the tarmac, Ms. Adalet, the fair first minister, came out to greet her as expected. There were no polite words during the meeting. She only said: "The people involved in the experiment and the responsible persons of all parties are all together. Let's get to know each other a little bit."
"Okay, I'll go take a look and have a small meeting by the way."
A few minutes later, Ronan was in a reception room and saw a bunch of old acquaintances, at least no real new faces.
Seeing Ronan and Zheng Zhengjie come in together, everyone in the room also stood up to greet them.
Ronan looked around and saw Liujia, who had just been separated for a few hours. He nodded slightly, but his eyes finally fell on another person.
The priest was dressed in a dazzling white robe, which seemed to be unstained by dust. His face had deep contours, bronze skin, and dark gray pupils. But the most eye-catching thing was the bright red flesh on both sides of his head, where the ears should be.
Even if there are four extraordinary species in the room, in terms of attire and appearance, this one is still the most eye-catching.
Ronan laughed and reached out his hand: "Mr. Child, thank you for the bottle of experimental raw materials... I would be happier if it were not glue ash for replacement glue."
Childe's gray eyes swept across Ronan's face, and he also stretched out his hand to shake hands with Ronan.
When the two sides shook hands, he opened and closed his lips slightly and said in a low and strong voice: "Mr. Ronan, long time no see."
Ronan was still smiling: "I hope Mr. Childer will have a wonderful and valuable experience."
Child's expression remained unchanged: "I hope that is the ladder to the truth."
Ronan did not answer him, but instead shook hands with Adjutant Yu Yong on the other side who was dressed in casual clothes: "I admire you, Adjutant Yu, for having the courage to face it again."
I thought to myself: Unfortunately, it was too early to escape the "Deep Blue World" and "Area 13", and it was destined to have nothing to do with the "True Soul Order".
Adjutant Yu Yong looked serious: "Thank you Mr. Luo for giving me this opportunity."
The last one was Wen Huilan, and Ronan also shook hands: "Is it convenient to ask for leave? President Gao didn't say anything, right?"
Wen Huilan responded with a smile: "It went very smoothly and I didn't say anything."
"If he came over to join in the fun, I would look at him differently."
As he said that, Ronan looked at Wen Huilan again. This woman wore a plaid shirt with a rather tough dark blue hunting jacket, and trousers of the same color and material. It feels very versatile. She can put on makeup for going out and remove makeup.
Go under the car and tighten the screws.
He also laughed: "You have communicated with Snake Language enough, and you know what you are doing. I don't assign any tasks... Well, all the people participating in the experiment have no specific tasks. You are just eyes, ears, and sensors.
Recorder. If you have any considerations or needs, you can also mess with it on the other side. But remember, the significance of the experiment lies in the transmission of information, and staying alive is the most important thing."
He turned to discuss with the Justice First Sacrifice: "In this way, first measure the replacement costs one by one to make sure there are no accidents, and discuss the specific steps and precautions?"
There is no objection to the fair first sacrifice.
The reason why we have to wait for Ronan to come over before doing the replacement evaluation is because only he knows the specific "coordinates" of the "new plane", and it is described with the ancient Chinese characters "rite of sacrifice". Even if the "just first sacrifice" is used from beginning to end, it is still used
He found his own "sacred object" and still couldn't determine its location.
Well, maybe it's just respect.
In any case, Ronan didn't care, and the follow-up process went very smoothly.
The replacement costs required by the three people who participated in the experiment were within a reasonable range, at least the Justice Order could afford it. After struggling for a while, everyone returned to the reception room and held a small meeting.
Ronan was polite and talked about "discussions" before. In fact, the relevant arrangements had been communicated with the Justice First Sacrifice, and he had also communicated with Liujia beforehand, so it was time to inform him.
"I don't want to make any mysteries or be secretive while conducting an experiment. But there are some things that I don't want to make light judgments and let you make preconceptions. You still have to experience and ponder for yourself...I won't throw you directly into a desperate situation.
It will give everyone time to recognize and adapt to the new environment."
Ronan looked around the room. Apart from him, Liujia, the youngest person here, was more than ten years older than him, but he had already passed the stage of being embarrassed by his age. His eyes finally fell on the only person with his equal status.
The fair first sacrifice on the face:
"Your Excellency, Chief Priest, I remember you said that Mr. Child can theoretically maintain contact with the 'sacred relics' of your sect in any area?"
"We have not tested conditions beyond the plane of Earth."
"I understand, so are you prepared to wander away for a long time?"
The just priest looked at Childe, who bowed slightly and said, "Of course."
"Then, Mr. Childe will be the first to go there, and there will be someone there to help you. Once you get there, first determine the connection with your religious group's 'sacred object' and see the other side's reaction."
Opposite? Reaction?
In the reception room, everyone caught the keyword, but didn't say much.
Ronan continued to arrange: "Then Ms. Wen Huilan, she can test other communication channels. Adjutant Yu is the last to take the lead, but I may let you put some distance between you and the other two... Your physique is quite special, maybe
It will also be more eye-catching. After we are sure that there is no obstruction, we will study whether to meet up or not; if there is any problem, you will have a place to go."
Yu Yong was slightly startled, but he quickly understood what Ronan meant: the so-called "physique" can only refer to "fugitives".
He unconsciously took a deep breath, looked at each other with Liujia, and said in a deep voice.
Ronan continued: "Everyone may have an accident when they go there. I will try my best to protect it, but there may be some uncontrollable trouble. In addition, I will also take the opportunity to make a big move there - you can cooperate with me
, you can also experience it yourself. Once the corresponding variables occur, it depends on everyone's reaction."
This must be said, everyone has their own expectations.
Next, there was nothing more to say. The meeting soon ended, and the group moved to the already arranged ceremony venue of the Justice Order.
This is a square secret room built into the building complex. It is black on top and white on the bottom. The pure and extreme colors are very eye-catching. The side length and height are 20 meters. It is also a sacred space maintained for a long time. It is usually used by religious groups.
The upper level is used for worship, practice, and communication with the location of sacred objects.
According to the plan, Childe was the first to enter the confined space.
Ronan and Justice First Sacrifice also entered, and the two of them operated simultaneously. One described the replacement target, and the other presided over adding replacement objects and driving the "Scale of Truth" to complete the replacement.
Even if the cost of replacing normal personnel across space is not a blood sacrifice of tens of millions of people, it is still valuable, and resource allocation is more difficult. Three copies in a row, that is, the Justice Order, can be completed within 24 hours.
This time, the Order of Justice is free of charge, which can be regarded as a big hemorrhage, but it is worth the money.
In the sacred space of the square chamber, Child was at the front, while Ronan and the First Priest of Justice were on both sides, forming a triangular position.
The formal replacement is indeed different from the nuclear price, or it may be due to the difference in the venue itself. Before Ronan stepped in, he knew that this place was first supported by abundant energy. In the surrounding communities, there were at least tens of thousands of believers, at least all of them were "devoted believers"
level, pray all the time, and pure faith is continuously injected into this place.
Several thoughts flashed through Ronan subconsciously:
If An Weng held the ceremony here last year, would there be no need for blood sacrifice?
Well, there is a high probability that the replacement rules of the "balance of truth" are unavoidable, God knows what.
Ronan being able to appear in this core area must be regarded as respect for him. However, has Levi had a similar experience?
You can ask later...
As the thoughts rise and fall, the white scale of the "Scale of Truth" slowly emerges from the complex light and shadow structure spliced with multiple lines and graphics, just like it did in Mo City. It is connected with three hinges of the same color and some slender brackets.
Find Ronan within easy reach.
The scale's hinge swayed slightly, and the "clatter" tremolo, which was very similar to the dark chain, stirred up distracting thoughts. Ronan slightly enunciated the words between his lips and teeth. At the same time, he visualized the structure of "ritual sacrifice ancient characters" and described the relevant replacement targets familiarly.
.
The white scale pan sinks, forming an "unbalanced state".
Then, at the side of the Justice First Sacrifice, she also began to recite lengthy incantations. The weird "dialect version" of Tianyuan Common Language was mixed with ancient ritual characters, and then mixed with the local language. To Ronan's ears, it was inevitable that some of the words did not convey the meaning.
, a ridiculous sense of absurdity, but "The Balance of Truth" just understands it.
This time, the black scale did not appear, but the "imbalance" of the white scale was obviously gradually rising and correcting. The huge sacred space buzzed and vibrated, and it seemed that thousands of people were praying and singing devoutly.
Childe, who was at the front, watched quietly until the white hinges and scales suddenly collapsed into threads, and then weaved and weaved again, but the "material" was still not enough, and it only turned into a semi-nihilistic frame, like a mere building.
A door that allows one person to enter and exit.
Childe turned his head and looked at Ronan.
The same is true for the first sacrifice of justice.
