Chapter 367 Take back everything you lost!

When Lu Jin returned to the Security Council, Su Nianlin and Li Qingyu saw that he was holding a woman with a bruised face and almost disfigured. Her wrists were bound by a supernatural lock and she was hanging on for dear life. She had been beaten badly.

The two of them took a closer look, their eyes widened in disbelief, and the same guess emerged in their minds at the same time.

"Mr. Lu, this... is this Lin Yingya?!"

Su Nianlin was eager to know the answer.

He took a closer look and vaguely saw that the prisoner had a similar outline to the cold and arrogant Level 4 Awakener on the wanted poster.

"Correct."

"She was hiding on Shikoku Island in the East, and she gathered a group of helpers. I just took care of her together."

Lu Jin briefly described the arrest process and threw Lin Yingya to the ground like garbage, with blood all over the floor.

Su Nianlin and Li Qingming were shocked beyond words as they looked at the defeated woman. They felt a chill in their hearts, thinking that perhaps Mr. Lu's methods were even more exaggerated than they had imagined.

In just one hour, he had beaten half to death one of the enemies with the highest threat index in the Security Council. He really deserves to be the nephew of Master Chen Qingxuan. In terms of dominance, the two are almost the same.

Lin Yingya's life state is like a candle in the wind, which may be extinguished at any time.

Lu Jin looked at Li Qingyu who was still standing there in a daze, and said gently:

"Xiao Li, seal her up."

"Nian Lin, go inform Lu Ci. He is in charge of the interrogation. No matter what means are used, this man must be dealt with within three days."

"If there is really no other way, Xiao Li can seal her permanently. As long as she doesn't wake up, the safety of the hostages will not be compromised."

"Yes! Don't worry, I'll be there right away."

Su Nianlin immediately contacted Lu Ci. When the old mad dog heard the news, he flew over from his jurisdiction without stopping.

The next day.

Under the supervision of many senior members of the Security Council, Lu Ci tortured Lin Yingya and repeatedly used his red hand to repair her injuries, making the process extremely long and painful.

Sharp wails echoed throughout the prison cell; Lin Yingya was tortured beyond recognition.

Her body as a level 4 awakener was much harder than diamond. Normal weapons could not hurt her at all. However, the torture instrument provided by the Nine Departments was a scalpel with particle light, which easily cut her skin.

Afterwards, Lu Ci used more brutal means to amplify her pain nerve sensitivity by dozens of times, and treated this distinguished guest with the ancestral skill of slow slicing, which made her spirit unable to withstand the severe torture and collapsed. She finally agreed to give in after 9 hours.

When she was willing to return the freedom of the hostages, Lu Ci was unwilling to do so.

He was cautious and cunning, and it was not difficult to see a clue. Beneath those pleading eyes, there was a surging hatred hidden, a resentment that wished everyone would die with her.

The last time he had this familiar feeling was more than 70 years ago. He will remember the shadow left by Duanmu Ying for the rest of his life.

No matter what, Lu Ci will not make the same mistake again.

Moreover, so far, the prisoners have not yet revealed the specific number of puppets.

If she is given a moment of freedom, even if only 5% of her abilities are unlocked, the Security Council will lose the initiative, and the life and death of an unknown number of hostages will all depend on her decision.

So the torture continued. Lu Ci ignored her pleas, anger, and curses. He just silently moved the knife, cutting off every inch of her flesh and bones like a butcher cutting up an ox, and then repairing them again to ensure her survival.

One day later, Lin Yingya's pupils were dilated, tears and blood were flowing from the corners of her eyes, and she was barely breathing.

At this time, Lu Ci ordered the clansmen who were accompanying him to use the soul-clearing technique to read the memories. The process went smoothly, and it was found that the number of substitute puppets was 46566.

Lin Yingya's previous idea was indeed to detonate those soul imprints after gaining her freedom, so that all the hostages would die together.

From the moment she was arrested, she knew that she had no chance of escape, but she was still unwilling to cooperate with the Security Council and was even ready to fight back.

In the end, since the younger generation of the Lu family had not yet mastered the art of soul enlightenment, and he himself was not sure he could control a level 4 awakener, he had to give up and use the method of possessing another body to remove all the soul marks.

After negotiations with several vice presidents, it was decided to first seal Lin Yingya with Li Qingyu's Time Amber, and then send her to the prison for the awakened ones, which was guarded by two Class B mechas and six Class C mechas, so it was safe enough.

June 6, 27pm.

Inside the Trinity Gate, Jiang Mo sat quietly in the corner of the second floor of the Sutra Library, surrounded by a vast number of books.

He was holding an ancient scripture in his hand, and there was a tablet on his desk that he used to log into the dark web. He was silently flipping through the information provided by the two, deepening his understanding of the different cultivation systems around the world.

"Da da da."

As footsteps sounded in the pavilion, two figures walked slowly over, met the teacher, bowed, and said loudly:

"Meet Uncle Master."

"Meet Uncle Master."

Yu Huai and Lu Jin, who were on a mission outside, came back. Jiang Mo knew that they had something to look for him. He also thought that there were still three days before the opening ceremony of Chixia University, which he had agreed to attend. He raised his head slightly, a touch of gentleness appeared in his eyes, and he couldn't help asking:

"what happened?"

"Uncle Master, please forgive me for disturbing you. We happen to have a meeting on the 30th, and I would like to invite you to attend and keep the peace."

Yu Huai said respectfully.

This meeting was of great importance. The invitation was jointly issued by the Nine Ministries and the Security Council. As one of the negotiators, he naturally wanted to come back and report the matter to his uncle.

"Oh?"

Jiang Mo was a little curious and motioned for him to continue.

"These days, the wars in various countries overseas are almost over, and the ability locks we developed and the brain chips in the United States are undoubtedly the most effective tools to control the rebellion of the awakened ones."

"Many countries, such as Russia, Japan, South Korea, Britain, France, Germany, Australia, Thailand, etc., have requested transactions with us, hoping to purchase a large number of special power locks to stabilize order. Currently, the two sides are still in communication, and the specific conditions are still to be discussed."

"On the 30th, a delegation consisting of the most elite mutants and awakened people from various countries will attend the opening ceremony of Chixia University and negotiate with us afterwards."

"In addition to all the senior members of the Security Council, Senior Brother Lu and I, as well as the heads of several other departments will attend. I thought you would be there that day, so I dared to invite you to discuss state affairs with us and seek the welfare of the people."

Yu Huai could not hide his excitement and narrated the whole incident fluently.

For a hundred years, the Celestial Empire, which once lagged behind the world, suffered from bullying and humiliation, and was close to extinction, has stood up again and stands at the top of the world thanks to the efforts of generations of people who have devoted themselves to the great cause of building the motherland.

During those difficult years, artillery fire tore through the earth, people were displaced, and all the hardships were so unforgettable that almost everyone who experienced that era will never forget them.

Jiang Mo was slightly moved. He put down the scripture in his hand, and his eyes penetrated the pavilion, as if he could see the whole world of intrigue and the law of the jungle, and a warm smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Okay, let's go check it out."

"What do you think? Have you made all the necessary preparations?"

Hearing the uncle's question, Yu Huai nodded and said without hesitation:

"The team to welcome the visiting group is ready. There are 6 Level 4 Awakeners and 52 Level 3 Awakeners who will monitor their every word and action. The school opening ceremony will also have 3 Class B mechas and 24 Class C guards. The total number of teachers and students participating is 12. It will be broadcast live to the whole country."

"Including me, the ten decision makers all want to pay back the debts of sin they once owed double."

"As long as they sit at our negotiation table, we will be the rule makers. We have absolutely legitimate reasons and strong enough military force. We will never rest until we scrape off the fat on their stomachs, along with their flesh, blood and bones."

"Of course, they can also have their own choice, which is to cooperate with the United States and borrow their brain chip technology to restrict the jurisdiction of the awakened people in their territory."

"However, from what I know, that thing is not stable, and the highest control authority does not belong to them, but to Behemoth."

"We currently have three versions of our special-purpose locks, which are ranked from high to low in terms of cost: network-based monitoring type, permanent stand-alone type, and overseas sales type."

"The simplest overseas model does not support the free unlocking of the wearer's abilities. It has one and only one gear, 100% restriction. It has built-in explosives and biological venom. Once they try to dismantle the ability lock for research or imitation, the micro-explosives inside will detonate prematurely."

"As for the biological venom, it is for the wearer to use. As long as they leave the specific range set by the supervisor, the power lock will release the venom and kill them in an instant."

"The cost of materials and the average R&D cost for overseas models is 2. The economic conditions of each country are different, so we also make appropriate price adjustments accordingly."

"Because of the exchange rate, we use US dollars as the transaction unit. For example, in developed countries in Europe, the price of a set of special power locks starts at 10, and there is an additional 35% export tax. In Asian countries such as Japan, South Korea, and Thailand, the price is 7, and the export tax is 30%."

"In fact, due to the impact of the war, whether it is the euro, the US dollar, or our currency, they have all been impacted and depreciated. The price setting is only the most basic selling condition. We also have other additional conditions to harvest their resources."

Yu Huai finished speaking, his words were full of power and expectation. He was already fully prepared for the negotiations, his brows showing absolute confidence. He was sure to win this victory without bloodshed.

At this moment, Jiang Mo also recalled some distant memories. He had seen those greedy-looking foreigners holding guns and cannons, strangling the lifeline of the late dynasty, acting recklessly on the land under their feet, bullying the weak, and even the Qing government was protecting them and speaking for them.

Non-my family, its heart must be different.

What etiquette, what moral rules? For those barbarians, fists are the only truth.

They fear power but not virtue. The more powerful you are, the more they fear you. On the other hand, if you are mediocre and weak, they would like to step on your head to show off their power, and use all means to humiliate you, suppress you, and even enslave you.

Thinking of this, Jiang Mo smiled slightly and said, "In this case, let's do it."

"Yu Huai, Jin Er, my senior brother and I are proud of you."

"Don't worry. I want to see what kind of storm those jackals, tigers and leopards can stir up. We must have all the necessary conditions and not give up an inch."

"If they don't agree, let them worry about it themselves. After all, this is a business deal. If we can reach an agreement, then we'll talk. If we can't, then forget it. Times have changed. Now they are the ones who need to act according to our wishes. If they dare to cause trouble here and overturn the table, we will fight them to the end."

Yu Huai looked determined, clasped his hands together, and promised loudly:
"Disciple understands. I will do my best to maximize the benefits and will never let you and Master down!"

"Uncle, I am willing to stand by my side, please rest assured."

Lu Jin also expressed his opinion.

"Okay, I see. If you have nothing else to do, stay and have a cup of tea before leaving."

Jiang Mo said nonchalantly, as if he didn't take their words to heart.

In fact, as an elder, he has watched these two kids grow up, and his confidence in them is as common as the rising and setting of the sun. If they can say it, they can do it. Even if they can't do it, they have his uncle to back them up.

June will soon be over, and Jiang Mo's reputation in the country is growing.

There are endless peripheral industrial chains about it, the market demand is hot, and many vendors are making a lot of money because of it.

Driven by them and some believers, the main thread of Jiang Mo's mythological story was derived. Based on part of his life in the last century, elements of two major popular stories, slaying demons and saving people's lives, were incorporated into the story, which was vividly compiled and became more and more popular than ever before.

By the end of the month, there was even news that Jiang Mo was very likely to be the first president of Chixia University. Those awakened people who enrolled were so excited that they couldn't sleep at night, and they were all trying to think about which alumni would be lucky enough to sign up for his class.

However, the rumor was debunked the next day. The truth was that it was deliberately fabricated by a netizen for the sake of publicity, which caused many people to be happy for nothing.

On June 6, all teachers and students of Chixia University have reported in.

According to statistics from the Security Council, there are a total of 126125 people. The current principal and three vice-principals are all meritorious people in the nine departments. They are approaching retirement and wanted to make some final contributions. They are also qualified, so they were transferred here.

The other nine deans are either level 3 awakeners or grand masters in various fields, with considerable strength and status.

University is divided into grades 1-4, and the teaching content focuses on four aspects: theory, practice, development, and application, with an emphasis on improving the all-round development of awakeners.

Students do not need to pay tuition to the school as it is reimbursed by the state, but they need to pay for their living expenses themselves by completing teaching goals or tasks to earn rewards.

This is the first specialized university for non-humans built in the country. Its standards are higher than any other prestigious universities in the past, and there is a strict screening mechanism for admission.

In addition to the basic cultural quality requirements, applicants must also meet the supernatural potential assessment standards issued by the Security Council. Only applicants who reach level B or above out of the five levels from S to D are eligible for admission.

In addition, each student has a school management manual, which contains many rules that are prohibited from being violated. Anyone who violates the rules three times in four years will be expelled from the school, regardless of grade or potential, and will be required to wear a supernatural lock when leaving school. Unless they have made major achievements and apply to the Security Council, they will not be able to unlock the lock for the rest of their life.

Once unlocked privately, the mortality rate is close to 100%. The code composed of biometric information is unique, which also means that the wearer will become an abnormal data detected by the city covered by the supernatural detection tower and will be arrested by the Security Council at the first opportunity.

However, with nearly 30 million awakened people in the country, just one university is far from enough, not to mention the new drugs in the R&D department, which may transform all the people into mutants within the next five years.

May 6, morning.

The Security Council and nine ministries passed a resolution announcing a plan to build a second university in the coastal city of Shenzhen, named "Yuzhuo".

Its scale is no less than that of Chixia, and the assessment of supernatural qualifications for admission is no longer so strict.

As long as you meet the age requirements and pass the written test, you can enroll even if you are in Grade D. The idea is that "if jade is not polished, it will not become a useful object." The school's founding purpose is that everyone is a piece of unpolished jade, and as long as they are correctly guided by teachers and properly carved, and work hard for decades, they will eventually shine.

Also on this day, in the evening.

Visiting delegations from many countries around the world arrived one after another. Hundreds of people were arranged to stay in hotels near Chixia University to prepare for meetings and discussions the next day.
