Chapter 53 – Longevity Foundation

"Fire case..."

Cui Zhongcheng spoke up, "Even if you didn't mention it, I would have said it."

"You passed the review and became a member of the Judicature, and your teacher Zhou JiRen is known for being protective." Mr. Cui said slowly, "I heard that he has been investigating the clues of the 'fire case' these days. Perhaps he is afraid that if you didn't pass the review, you would be implicated in this case."

There was a touch of gratitude in Gu Shen's eyes.

That old guy... should be busy dealing with the impeachment from the council and his opponents.

Yet he still found time to take care of his own case.

"The two guys who tried to assassinate me... they extracted the genes, right?" Gu Shen asked, "It shouldn't be difficult to trace them, right?"

"Although the Deep Sea database contains the genetic data of citizens from the five continents, not every search yields results."

Cui Zhongcheng said, "Transcendent abilities are an inexplicable 'mutation' that violates the order and logic established by science... The genetic data collected at the scene has not yet received any search response in the database. It may take some time for us to provide results."

He glanced at Gu Shen.

"But I can give you some clues."

"Or rather... speculations."

Mr. Cui said softly, "This assassination attempt happened before the Judicature was ready to accept you... In fact, until now, almost no one knows that you passed the review and received an 'S-level' rating."

"So, this assassination event wasn't targeting you. You are just a pawn. The people behind the scenes were targeting Zhou JiRen. I speculate that they obtained the escape information of A-009 and hoped to create enough chaos."

Speaking of this.

Gu Shen frowned, "Are you saying that these are the actions of people who want to impeach my teacher?"

At the first moment, he thought of Zhu Wang and Han Dang.

"No, no, no..."

Cui Zhongcheng shook his head and said gently, "Zhu Wang and Han Dang wouldn't do something so unprofessional. The style of this incident is too crazy. They directly blew up a residential building, wanting to attract everyone's attention. No one can stop an intentional explosion. These people are most likely extreme opponents of the 'Awakening Ordinance'."

"Wait a minute..."

Gu Shen was a little confused, "What is the 'Awakening Ordinance'?"

Cui Zhongcheng frowned, "Your teacher didn't tell you?"

"That's right... You have been preparing for this review. If you didn't pass, there would be no need to know about the ordinance."

Cui Zhongcheng stood quietly by the lake, watching the crowds coming and going on the other side.

"The awakening of transcendent abilities... has been confirmed to be controllable. There have been successful cases, not just one. The two major cities of the East Continents, Nagano and Da Du, have had intense debates and serious disagreements because of this. Some people believe that the 'transcendent awakening' is a secret that should be hidden from the public, while others believe that the ordinance should be implemented to allow every citizen to enjoy transcendent power."

A gust of wind blew by.

Mr. Cui's casual words made Gu Shen feel extremely heavy.

The Awakening Ordinance... these four words contained too much information.

The council has the power to awaken ordinary people to transcendent abilities... Are they preparing to make everyone a transcendent?

The promotion of such a major event is like a torrent.

And he himself is like a tiny ant.

At this moment, he realized his ignorance and powerlessness.

"It's too crazy..." Gu Shen murmured, "If this news is revealed, everyone will... go crazy, right?"

It's unimaginable what the world would become if this ordinance were enacted.

How can order be maintained?

"Some support it, some oppose it, but it's all based on their own interests. No one knows what the world will be like tomorrow." Cui Zhongcheng's voice was lighter than the wind, "Think about it... Deep Sea emerged overnight after a good night's sleep, and this computer connected the five continents after another good night's sleep. The speed of development in this era is too fast. The only experience we can gain is... we must board the ship of the new world as soon as possible to reach the distant shore."

It's hard to imagine that this man, who exudes an old-fashioned aura, would say such revolutionary words.

"You... are right."

Gu Shen rubbed his temples and said, "So... my teacher supports the ordinance?"

"Yes. The other continents and the highest seats of the council mostly support it... You will know the real reason later. For humanity, it may not be a bad thing." Cui Zhongcheng said calmly, "But there are still some old-fashioned people, some stubborn individuals who are unwilling to accept the changes of the times. They hide themselves in various corners of the world."

"Of course... it's not a crime to be unwilling to accept change. There should always be people who appreciate and love the old era." Mr. Cui smiled, "Even if all the books in the world can be seen on the internet, there will still be people sitting in the library all day with a book in their hands."

Speaking of this.

He blinked and whispered, "You know... I am one of those people."

"Actually, I am too..." Gu Shen whispered in agreement.

No wonder.

No wonder when they first met, Mr. Shu said that the new era was coming when he drove Gu Shen home.

The news of the Awakening Ordinance had indeed shocked Gu Shen greatly.

He sorted out his thoughts.

"Some people hide themselves, while others throw themselves out.""Among the people you just mentioned, some... are not only unwilling to accept change, but also resist, oppose, and even want to destroy everything."

Gu Shen tentatively asked, "So, the two Transcendents who tried to assassinate me are extremists who resist the Awakening Law?"

"Exactly."

Cui Zhongcheng laughed, "You catch on quickly."

"I personally speculate that these two assassins may come from the 'Longevity Foundation', a notorious extremist organization of Transcendents. The location of their real nest is unknown, but a considerable number of fanatical Foundation believers are lurking all over the five continents. In recent years, when they were caught, they all chose extreme measures such as self-immolation and suicide bombing. No evidence would be left at the scene. Moreover, using some unknown technology, their genetic data can hardly be found in the Deep Sea database."

Gu Shen's pupils contracted slightly.

"This time they failed, probably because they didn't expect that the two Transcendents they sent would be killed by a 'normal person' like you." Mr. Cui smiled, "Thanks to you, the genetic data at the scene was relatively intact. Perhaps this could be a breakthrough. If they are indeed members of the Longevity Foundation, we can follow the vine to find other hidden members."
