Orderly tyrant

“Metropolitan area?”

Lin Qing wasn't surprised.

After all, the two transport vehicles escorting the abducted people had the metropolitan area logo on them.

Even the patrol chief wasn't qualified to search these transport vehicles.

“Yes, the metropolitan area.”

Kou Guoyong nodded and said, “About a dozen years ago, the Illuminati had a big figure in the metropolitan area. It is said that in order to optimize the genes of Earthlings, he established the 'Primitive Research Institute'. In the name of the Illuminati, he used living people for genetic modification experiments, killing hundreds of thousands of people.”

“Primitive Research Institute? Optimize the genes of Earthlings…” Lin Qing pondered.

“That's right.”

Kou Guoyong sighed and said, “It is said that gene awakening is inherent in the extraterrestrial civilization where Zhixing Group is located. However, only one out of hundreds of thousands of us Earthlings successfully awakens their genes. This is only because the Chaoyang Martial Arts School launched the Chaoyang Training Method; otherwise, there would be even fewer.”

Lin Qing nodded slightly.

He had also heard that practicing the original Chaoyang Training Method could increase the probability of gene awakening.

Although it was still very difficult even after the increase, it was definitely easier than not practicing it.

“That big figure of the Illuminati used this as an excuse to constantly capture people for genetic modification experiments.”

Kou Guoyong said, “Some people volunteered, and some were forced, but the mortality rate of the experiments was too high. Very few people survived, let alone those who were successfully modified. Therefore, this method was resisted at the time, and it is said that the big figure was also imprisoned.”

He shook his head slightly and said, “I didn't expect the Illuminati to still be collecting living people now. I'm afraid it's also for genetic modification experiments.”

Lin Qing suddenly understood.

No wonder the Illuminati had so many people with modified genes.

“Doesn't the metropolitan area care?” Lin Qing couldn't help but ask.

“How would the metropolitan area care about such trivial matters?” Director Kou shook his head and said, “Look at how few people were captured this time.”

Lin Qing was silent.

Outside the metropolitan area and inside the metropolitan area were indeed like two different worlds.

“The metropolitan area only has one requirement for the entire world, and that is surface stability.”

Director Kou said with some rare sarcasm, “So… that's how it has become this situation. Otherwise, if they just issued a clear prohibition, who would dare to disobey?”

Lin Qing slowly shook his head: “No wonder the Illuminati is so arrogant…”

“However, the Illuminati wasn't like this in its earliest days, and its peak period has long passed.”

Kou Guoyong said with emotion, “I was born in the 1970s, and the Illuminati's peak period was even earlier. It is said that the Illuminati already existed in the doomsday period, even before the reconstruction of civilization.”

“Doomsday period?” Lin Qing couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.

“Yes.” Kou Guoyong nodded and said, “It is said that the earliest Illuminati existed to find a bright future for the Earth. Regardless of status or origin, as long as it was helpful to the Earth, it was enough. Therefore, it absorbed many people, and each member had a sun tattoo, but it was slightly different from the current pattern.”

Lin Qing finally understood.

No wonder the Illuminati's members were all over the world, even in the metropolitan area.

“However…”

Kou Guoyong sighed and said, “As the Illuminati's power grew stronger and its members became mixed, different factions developed, and internal conflicts became increasingly large. Today, it has completely disintegrated and completely declined.”

“It's still so strong even in decline?” Lin Qing couldn't help but sigh.

“A lean camel is bigger than a horse.”

Kou Guoyong suddenly lowered his voice and said mysteriously, “I heard that the Chaoyang Martial Arts School and the Dawn Group are organizations that split off from the early Illuminati, which is why they are named that way.”

Lin Qing was surprised.

At first glance, it seemed quite reasonable.

Chaoyang and Dawn both symbolize light, and they were indeed established after the birth of the Illuminati.

“The current Illuminati is no longer the Illuminati of the past.”

Kou Guoyong shook his head slightly. “The ones causing trouble this time are probably the remnants of the 'Primitive Research Institute' established by that big figure of the Illuminati who was imprisoned more than a decade ago.”

“Primitive Research Institute…” Lin Qing remembered this name.

“It's better for the patrol headquarters to investigate this case since it involves the Primitive Research Institute.”

Kou Guoyong looked at Lin Qing and instructed, “The Primitive Research Institute has created too many modified people. Even if the metropolitan area doesn't care, it is very terrifying for us. You need to be more careful.”

Lin Qing nodded slightly.

He didn't even need to think to know that this powerful force established by a big figure in the metropolitan area, even if it was just a remnant, would definitely far exceed underground forces like the Red Iris Society many times over.

“However, you don't need to worry too much.”

Kou Guoyong comforted, “The Red Iris Society has the background of the Illuminati's Primitive Research Institute, but you have the more powerful patrol headquarters behind you, and even the patrol headquarters is backed by an extremely powerful force within the metropolitan area.”

Lin Qing nodded and said, “I understand. They should be the ones who are more afraid.”

If they were really powerful enough, they wouldn't have become a hidden underground force.

Of course…

Whether it was the patrol headquarters or the Primitive Research Institute, they were both behemoth forces that were difficult for him to resist.

In addition to relying on the big tree of the patrol headquarters, his own strength was also very important.

The potential threat of the Illuminati's Primitive Research Institute made Lin Qing realize even more… that his strength was still far from enough.

He must continue to move forward.

…

Time passed day by day.

The interrogation of the Red Iris Society members was coming to an end, and those abducted people who had been rescued were gradually being sent home.

Since it involved the metropolitan area and the Illuminati, the city patrol bureau decided to keep the commendation conference as low-key as possible. The city bureau leaders personally awarded medals and higher rewards, abandoning the ceremony.

Lin Qing didn't care about it in the first place, so naturally he didn't care about these formalities.

Three days later.

Although he hadn't waited for the new merits to be issued, Lin Qing came to the secret room in the branch office again, which was used to learn combat skills.

“Lin Qing, why are you here again today?”

That somewhat hoarse voice laughed and said, “Oh, it's been six days. It seems… you have already mastered the combat skill 'Flexibility'?”

“Yes.” Lin Qing nodded slightly and said, “I'm here today to learn a new series of combat skills.”

“New series?”

That somewhat hoarse voice said, “Your Free Body series of combat skills have not yet been fully cultivated to the instinctive level. Actually, I don't quite agree with you wasting time on a new series of combat skills, but… can you tell me the reason?”

“During this patrol mission, I disrupted the Illuminati's Primitive Research Institute's good deeds, so I need to improve my strength as much as possible.” Lin Qing said frankly.

“Primitive Research Institute?”

That hoarse voice suddenly understood, “That does need to be vigilant, but the headquarters is also investigating the Primitive Research Institute now. The Primitive Research Institute is under great pressure, so you don't need to worry too much.”

He paused for a moment and said, “However, since your life is in your own hands, it's not wrong for you to want to learn a new series of combat skills, but this will delay your progress in cultivating the Free Body series of combat skills. You should consider it carefully.”

“I've thought it through.” Lin Qing nodded.

He had nothing to think about at all.

The Free Body series of combat skills had already been cultivated to the instinctive level, so naturally there was no impact.

“Okay.”

That hoarse voice asked, “Which series of combat skills do you want to cultivate next?”
