Psychics don't die from gunfire

Chapter 600: The Silent Society

New Light City.

The Enlightened One’s underground base, first floor.

"The Society of the Silent."

Chakoro looked at the man in front of him.

He hesitated for a second and asked, "Your position is clerk?"

"Your conjecture is quite correct."

"The Society of the Silent, the Golden Secretary, Rachel Harvey." The man smiled, put his right hand on his heart, and bowed slightly: "Greetings to you, the powerful and fair 'Rebel'."

"Golden Title Clerk." Chakoro narrowed his eyes and crossed his arms. "As far as I know, there are not many clerks of this level in the entire Silent Society."

"I just checked your information. You arrived at Lightforge City three years ago and personally experienced the war between us and the company. Neither side was aware of your identity."

The "check" that Chakoro mentioned was obviously contacting the intelligence department through the personal terminal implanted in the body to retrieve and compare the information of the person in front of him.

This man, who looked to be in his early forties, was dressed in a suit and had a capable demeanor but also a sense of fatigue that was typical of office workers.

The streamlined dark silver mechanical prosthesis that replaced the right hand is the "Struggler IV" which has been very popular among business people in the past four years. It is compatible with all mainstream interfaces on the market and includes many functions such as intelligent AI assistant, real-time PPT projection, high performance enough to run professional software, and the ability to beat competitors.

Anyone who looks at him would think he is a typical corporate employee.

The files show that the other party is indeed the management of a medium-sized company and there is nothing unusual about his daily performance.

"——After all, she is a secretary, so integrating into the local environment is a basic skill."

Song Shi sat on the sofa on the other side and threw a tomato-flavored fruit candy into his mouth.

"And it's a golden title. If it were so easy to be discovered, the Unspoken Society would have closed down long ago."

"You know a lot about the Unspoken Society." The man, or "Rachel," kept smiling. "But there is one small mistake I want to correct. The Unspoken Society has been discontinued several times in history, which is what you call 'closing down'."

"You guys are very sincere."

Chakoro looked at the other person for a few seconds and said this.

"It has nothing to do with sincerity. 'Truth' is one of the eternal beliefs that the Silent Society adheres to." Rachel shook her head: "As a member of the society, if we are ashamed to express our own history and cover it up, how dare we pursue the truth?"

Chakoro nodded first to show respect, then said: "Let me summarize the current situation."

"You didn't hesitate to expose your existence and took the initiative to find Song Shi, wanting to invite him to the headquarters of the Silent Society to participate in a test. And Song Shi brought you to see me."

"That's right." Rachel said calmly, "This is an order from the Council of Twelve. Please believe me, we have no ill will towards you, Enlightened One, or Lord Song Shi."

The highest leadership body of the Society of Silents, the "Council of Twelve".

"Of course you don't have any ill intentions. Who do you have ill intentions towards?"

Song Shi chewed candy with a crunching sound and raised his eyebrows: "The subjectivity of attitude will inevitably affect the objectivity of the record, so you claim to be absolutely neutral - are you really neutral?"

"I'm very sorry about this." Rachel sighed sincerely, "We strive to be objective, but this idea itself affects objectivity. Mr. Chakolo and Mr. Song Shi, the only thing we can do is to try our best and keep chasing it."

"Ha test." Chakoro suddenly laughed.

He shook his head and smiled, "You didn't come here to ask for my opinion, you just came over to tell me."

"Really." Song Shi followed suit and laughed, saying leisurely, "After all, leaving without saying goodbye is somewhat anti-human. Let me be frank, I have already agreed and will leave in a while. I told you in advance."

"Then I have nothing to say." Cha Ke Luo nodded: "Since you have made your own decision, I wish you a safe journey. Before you leave, remember to hand over the affairs. Jiuyu Defense is still a big business now."

"The president's position is open to me?"

"I'll keep it for you." Chakoro readily agreed.

"One more thing."

After a few words, Chakoro turned his attention back to Rachel. "Bronze, silver, gold, stone, I'm curious, why would a clerk with a gold rank, second only to a stone rank, choose to stay in Forged Light City?"

Although he said "curious", the look in Chakoro's eyes clearly did not leave any room for rejection.

Yes, as many people know, the Unspoken Society maintains a large group of "scribes" scattered across Terra, performing repeated observations and records in every possible way.

But there are obviously huge differences between clerks.

[The Silent Society] is an absolute elite of this behemoth, and has been lurking in the City of Forged Light for three whole years. Regardless of whether he is the "Commander-in-Chief of the Enlightened" or the "Rebel", Chakoro must find out the reason.

"Ah, Lord Chakoro, you should know that the Society of Silents is the largest group of Revelation psychics on Terra today." Rachel's smile faded a little.

"Very convincing." Chakoro agreed, but then shook his head: "But I need a more detailed explanation."

Rachel sighed softly, but she did not hesitate. It was obvious that she had prepared herself mentally before coming here.

He raised his head and looked around at Song Shi and Cha Keluo.

"You two, what do you think of the theory of 'historical nodes'?"

--coming.

Song Shixin thought.

It was indeed a familiar set of moves. The Silent One learned the standard opening moves of the Clerk.

And the next moment, without waiting for the two to answer, Rachel spoke loudly.

"Terra has a long history, and its history has always been a subject of controversy."

"Some people presuppose it as an objective reality with its own time-based laws, and try to construct 'real history' through empirical evidence. Others go a step further and try to find an ultimate law, of which all the meaning, purpose and direction of history are just one aspect."

"Some people no longer just stand from the perspective of observers, but choose to include themselves in the observation. All history exists as they participate in the formation of history. Others use the present as a direct reference system, firmly believing that history is a process of continuous development towards a more progressive, freer and more perfect direction, and everything is unstoppable and cannot be questioned."

"But we, the Silent Society, believe that history is not an unstoppable, complete and unified river. You must have heard that the perfect 'circle' is actually composed of infinite sides, and it is also a member of the polygon."

"Terra's history has never been a straight line. Quite the contrary, it is made up of numerous line segments of varying lengths, and the origins of these line segments are 'historical nodes'."
