This is an extremely complicated task.

Dai Xiaolou locked himself in the office, but asked for a cup of espresso from the secretary through an electronic caller. Pamela obviously knew that he was busy tracing the source of the document and sent a breakfast very considerately. The old woman's revenge was much stronger than she thought. Dai Xiaolou took a sip of the coffee used for the meal and almost vomited it out on the spot. The coffee was so strong, God knows how much powder Pamela added to it? It was very thick and bitter.

There should be no connection between the group army and the 44l infantry division. Dai Xiaolou only regarded the part mentioned in the document as an unimportant sub-item. It took him a whole morning to finally figure out the entire lineage of the lieutenant, and unexpectedly discovered that there was a big dispute between the lieutenant and the 174th Army of the National Defense Forces. In particular, daily information exchanges and telecommunications frequency were related to a senior logistics supervisor of the group army.

It was a colonel. The avatar in the photo looked very fat, with a kind smile, and looked like a fat man with a very good reputation.

People who can be the position of logistics supervisor have no ordinary abilities and qualifications. The amount of money is very good, and they are often the confidants of a senior official, or Yu Qian is a relative. Dai Xiaolou does not think that a mere logistics official will become interested in Su Hao. Moreover, this guy doesn't seem to be a person who likes to cause trouble or has a good sense of justice. If the matter is really led by him, then either the colonel's butt is not Yu Jing, or there is a higher position behind him.

The colonel's top has entered the level of a general. According to normal thinking logic, this is the group that may arise from conspiracy.

"A general? Haha is interesting. The National Defense Forces actually began to interfere in the internal affairs of the main legion. If you tell this kind of thing, I don't know how many people will lose their official position for it, or even lose their heads."

Dai Xiaolou muttered to himself, his hands swiping quickly on the holographic screen. All the officials at the 174th Army above the general level were listed by him. Although he did not know the real mastermind, Lieutenant General Wang Hejun, the commander of the Army, has been included in the scope of secret investigation by Dai Xiaolou.

Finding secrets is also a pleasure, it just takes time.

Dai Xiaolou has time.

Although it was dawn, it was cloudy and the light was even more dimmer than usual. The temperature was very low and there was a biting cold.

The Inquisition is not far from the headquarters of the Holy See. It seems that there is nothing to do with the religious location. It is full of desolation and devastation everywhere. The war between the human empire and the dark world destroyed everything. It was originally a prosperous city, with only collapsed abandoned houses and loss of functioning high-voltage electric towers. Twisted steel bars are everywhere, and concrete pieces make it difficult for this land to grow. Large pits left after the explosion of heavy guns are everywhere. In the middle of stones and earth pits, the remains of humans and dark creatures can be seen from time to time.

After the war, the Inquisition did not include this area in the restoration plan, but instead allowed this wasteland to remain dilapidated at the end of the war.

Since its establishment, the Court of Justice has been destined to be not a place that can be loved by the outside world. It is full of blood and death, cruelty and pain. The purpose of its existence is to make those who covet the empire and are unfaithful to the emperor. It is a punishment institution with extremely strong execution capabilities. In the words of the first Supreme Judge: We have never thought of getting the likes of the world. Since they are afraid of us, let this fear continue, so that they can't help but tremble when they think of the three words "Judgement".

The most mysterious part of the entire Inquisition is a small room less than 50 square meters. This place belongs to the Supreme Presiding Judge Karavi. He himself holds two positions, one is the black bishop of the Holy See, and the other is the Grand Prize of the Inquisition.

The decorations in the room are very simple, with a coffee table and a few chairs. A gorgeous silver stick stands in the middle of the living room, and a lonely candle is lit on it. The candlelight is dim and fluttering, reflecting on the faces of several people gathered around the coffee table.

"The Golden Throne has been working properly."

The voice of the Presiding Judge Kalawi was as old as his appearance, as if it was a piece of cracked wood: "The emperor's life should be able to last forever. This is good news. The problem is that we don't know when His Majesty can wake up? This is very important."

"So, your Majesty's soul is still there?"

Sitting next to him was the executive Hanusk, who was also a great verdict with a tall and pointed nose, a high forehead and a deep eye socket: "Are you sure that the one lying in the Golden Throne now is not an empty shell?"

"Of course not."

Supreme Judge Kalawi looked at Hanusk with a sharp look: "From a biological point of view, His Majesty the Emperor has actually died, but the connection between his soul and body is still strong. His Majesty has the ability to predict the future, and he has long foreseeed the dangers he may encounter. Therefore, he spared no expense to build the Golden Throne. It played its due role. His Majesty has been alive for tens of thousands of years, but the current situation is very worrying."

"As long as there is no problem with the soul, it means that His Majesty can still be summoned back by us in other ways."

The third person sitting next to the coffee table, Liu Ling, the only female verdict in the Inquisition, proposed: "His Majesty the Emperor does not need to bear this kind of eternal life that is almost dead. We can use other methods to restore His Majesty to consciousness."

Hanusk looked directly at Liu Ling with wrinkles: "Are you referring to the last plan? Re-create a new body as a container to carry the soul of His Majesty the Emperor?"

"This is the best and most effective way so far."

Liu Ling has smooth and beautiful long hair. Although she is old, she does not feel too old against the backdrop of this long hair: "We almost succeeded. If it weren't for internal disputes, things wouldn't have become what they are now."

"No, the method of rebuilding the body is not advisable. It is very dangerous to do that."

Before Hanusk answered, the Supreme Presiding Judge Kalawi was already hoarse and shouting: "There are too many factors that cannot be determined. Who knows how the soul is connected? Even if we have the ability to rebuild our bodies, what should we do if the soul summoned into it is not Your Majesty himself? Should we announce in public that this is not our emperor? His Majesty the Emperor has long died in the last war? This is absolutely not possible. Your Majesty is a true god and an idol worshipped by the entire empire. If the summoned person is questioned, it will definitely cause a new round of disputes within the empire. The chaos and destructive effect may even be far greater than the limit we can bear."

“But we have to give it a try.”

Although Liu Ling is a woman, his voice is low and powerful: "The resurrection of His Majesty is the only hope for the empire to continue. There is only one emperor in the world, and no matter who he is, he cannot replace him."

The presiding judge Kalawi didn't speak, and the room fell silent for a moment.

Even within the Inquisition, they are divided into different factions because of their different views on things.

Karavi is a conservative. The specific origin can be traced back to the early days of the empire. At that time, the Supreme Presiding Judge of the Empire was instilled with some of the power and personal charm with direct genes by the emperor himself. They believed that the emperor's power was surrounded by himself, and this situation could not be changed even by war. The emperor's plan to need a brand new body as a container of souls was first proposed by the conservatives. They believed that the golden throne only maintained the emperor's flesh and blood, the emperor's own spirit.

But the soul has long been left to shackles, traveling in the world with its divine will, instilling its own strength into its subjects. However, these fragile ordinary people can only possess a very small part of the power of the emperor and will eventually die due to illness or aging. But if a body that will never die is offered to the emperor, as a permanent container of his soul, all problems will be solved. They will create a new emperor and lead the human civilization to continue.

Conservatives have been seeking ways to use space energy and ideas to transform and influence each other. All factions, including Supreme Presiding Judge Karavi, are studying the secrets of demons and space creatures occupying the bodies of outsiders, and trying to explain clearly the relationship between this rule and the physical world. The "Container" plan was produced in this environment. Every year, a large number of blood samples from imperial citizens were sent to the Inquisition, which were repeatedly compared and tested in the most detailed way. Conservatives dreamed that one day they could discover the appropriate hosts that could accommodate the powerful power of the emperor, and guide the emperor's soul into a new body through prayers and rituals.

This is not a fantasy. Conservatives have reached a very high level of research on creatures in space. The effect of the emperor using his willpower in war is very similar to the control of the target humans by living things in space. Because this theory has a considerable degree of realistic basis, the influence of the conservatives has gradually become stronger. Even the Holy See also many believers and senior clergy who support the resurrection of the emperor, forming a constantly improved technical system.

The Grand Prize Liu Ling is the representative of the Black Cross. This faction also originated from the early days of the Empire. The founder was a senior deacon. He summarized many experiences and comments that had served the Empire for nearly a hundred years, and finally concluded that the emperor's loyal servants survived in the main world and other space fields, that all other non-human civilizations must be destroyed and only ourselves are left behind. This radical argument was not approved by many people at that time. However, centuries later, a senior judge turned the document out of the old paper pile and vowed to act according to this theory. Similar views received widespread attention from judges at all levels.

The Black Cross has only one simple goal: that is, to permanently and completely destroy the emperor's enemies.

They cannot tolerate any deviation of behavior, participation or conspiracy, and instigation of evil is unforgivable. Paganism of any form, including abnormal mutations of humans, apostasy, opposite sex, and all consciousness and physical creatures that do not conform to their determination of the loyalty of the empire, are all heretics. The only punishment for evil by the Black Cross is death. Because humans are fighting a war on the survival of the race with the dark world. The Black Cross believes that as long as they kill enough rebels and dark creatures, they will naturally win.

The Black Cross is very martial, and can be said to be an extremely violent organization within the Inquisition and the Holy See. Because of their single mode of action and never give the other party the opportunity to repent, the Black Cross was sent to destroy the enemy in order to always rank behind other judges. The Black Cross was an open group, using its own identity to spread xenophobia and searching for the unclean evil heresy that threatened their future. They were merciless, without any mercy, unyielding, and never tolerated any words of blasphemy against the emperor. They were usually the youngest and most prone to hot-headed elements among the judges. They rushed around within the empire and only left a mess after waking up. The Black Cross was never shaken about their own creeds. Compared with any other faction, the Black Cross was easier to declare war on other judges, as long as they showed even a hint of suspicion about their actions.

Members of the Black Cross can be found almost anywhere in the Inquisition and the Holy See. In many cases, they are not affiliated with any full-time Inquisition, but regard all opponents as threats of reciprocity with heresy. The judges of the Black Cross are happy to cooperate with the most martial sects in the empire. For them, death is the most correct way to purify.

Executive Hanusk belongs to the ruling faction.

This is a sect with a much milder theme than the Black Cross. They believe that placing any force threatens the empire is exactly what their divine duty lies. The members of the ruling party work hard to maintain the status quo and look for any restless individual or organization at home and abroad. They pay less attention to mutation, demons and traditional crimes unless they touch the basic system of the human empire. The members of the ruling party tend to limit hostility and political disputes within the imperial institutions to a minimum, and adhere to the creed that "unity is strength" among officials at all levels of the court.

Change is the most dangerous of the most dangerous one. Because change often indicates disaster. Other judges may devote themselves to some major operations, using violent means to free human beings from chaos and reach a new golden age. The ruling faction would rather go from slow to stable. They accused other judges of being too arrogant and some excessive remarks even exceeded the will of His Majesty the Emperor. From the very beginning, the ruling faction followed the emperor's original practices and plans and maintained the normal operation of the empire. In their minds, the empire is the embodiment of the emperor, and defending the empire is the defense of the emperor himself.

For a long time, the ruling factions have been committed to eradicating groups and sects that may weaken and threaten the empire, commanders, military leaders, etc. They openly and actively support people who are beneficial to themselves, give them considerable funds, and protect these people without threatening other institutions and individual status and power. The ruling factions are cautious about any form of social change and firmly grasp the mainstream values ​​of their era and society. They work well with other departments of the empire and jointly maintain the security of the empire with the imperial army. Because, doing so is also defending the authority of the empire itself.

To be fair, Supreme Presiding Judge Karavi did not agree with the relevant purpose of Liu Ling and Hanusk's respective factions. Such a gathering was only held when the situation was urgent. The result of the meeting discussion was similar to Karavi's previous thoughts: Liu Ling, the great ruling of the Black Cross faction, was still as radical as before. She asked to continue the initial container reconstruction plan, but never considered the threat that soul transfer might pose to the emperor. Hanusk of the Judgment faction was too cautious and had doubts about all problems. He would rather maintain the status quo than make improvements on the current basis. In the end, the problem was thrown to Karavi himself.

The plan to rebuild the emperor's body certainly has its merits. The emperor's awakening is the common wish of everyone. The Holy See also paid too much for it. However, even Karavi himself could not ensure the success rate. He could not get support or completely object to the other two top members of the Inquisition, and the conversation naturally fell into a deadlock.

A few minutes later, the executive Hanusk broke the silence first. He looked at Karavi with an old look and said in confusion: "It has been a long time since the last experiment failed. It's really strange, why did you suddenly raise this topic again? Did you have any special discoveries?"

A smile appeared in Karavi's muddy glasses. He nodded slowly: "Do you still remember Sarasmith?"

The First Inspector Liu Ling obviously had a special memory of this name. Her eyes lit up and she asked quite movedly: "Are you talking about the failed item in the Battle Sisters' Temple? The genius girl we used for the container plan?"

Kalawi kept nodding: "It was also the top bounty killer who later created a series of massacres in the empire."

"Didn't Sarasmith die long ago?"

Hanusk frowned. He disapproved of the "Container" plan from the beginning: "She received high-intensity deformation training in the temple of the Battle Sisters, and her body tissues and genes showed signs of disorder. Although the experiment was successful at that time, she herself escaped from the laboratory while the chaos was in chaos. The genes reserved from her body must rely on deformation stabilizers to survive. Regardless of the freshness or the speed of division, those cells were far inferior to ordinary people. In this regard, the experiment had actually failed."
