global pollution

In the conference room covering an area of ​​nearly [-] square meters, there is a huge long conference table.

There were no windows, and no lights were turned on. The entire meeting room was pitch black, with empty tables and chairs, and no one was there.

But then, bunches of lights suddenly lit up on the surrounding walls, and then, dozens of blurred shadows whose faces and figures could not be seen clearly were projected onto the conference table, each with a seat.

There are 48 tables in total, only 47 figures are seated, and one person is missing.

All eyes were unconsciously looking at the empty seat.

After a long silence, only one of the crowd spoke.

"No. [-], you summoned us. If you have anything to do, please tell us as soon as possible."

It was No. 31 who spoke. His (her) voice was a specially processed mechanical sound, and even the gender could not be identified.

"No. 28 died, do you know about this?"

Although the voice has also been specially processed, everyone can still hear the schadenfreude in No. [-]'s tone.

The meeting room was a little noisy for a while.

"Is it because of green rot?"

"Impossible, it's been less than two years since I joined the club on the 28th."

"Green rot doesn't come according to time. No. [-] is the first among us to join the club. Isn't it all right now?"

"Who is number 28, do any of you have a clue?"

The discussion among the people gradually stopped, and the topic was brought back to No. [-].

No. 31: "No. 28, since you know the identity of No. [-], don't be fooled. We don't have so much time to waste with you."

No. [-] laughed twice: "In the Chi area of ​​Nanzhou, which famous person died in the past two days?"

When the scope narrowed down to this point, someone thought of it on the spot: "District councilor, Nagao Tokugawa?"

"clever!"

Ten seemed to snap his fingers.

"It could be him?"

"District councilor, you are qualified to join us."

"It seems that the Tokugawa family is facing the Tokugawa family tit for tat. It seems to be an old family called Tenji Temple, and its strength is not bad. The Xiachi area will be in chaos for a while."

This information is very valuable, and everyone is trying to digest it, looking for places that they can use.

Number 31 asked: "Number Ten, why do you know the identities of other members of our Ageless Society!"

Chapter 4 Sixty Members No. [-]

As soon as this remark was made, the others fell silent and looked at number ten.

No. 31 sneered inwardly. These people had already seen it, but they just pretended not to know anything, insisting on waiting until No. [-] to ask.

Even such a trivial thing has to be calculated, for fear of revealing one's feet, it is really a gang of old scourges.

"Of course I know, because the Fermi Zone is my territory, and whoever reaches in can't hide it from my eyes."

The Fermi District is one of the four major districts of Western Continent, and its jurisdiction includes Maryland and Los Santos, which is near the sea.

Two days ago, a big explosion suddenly occurred in Dallas, Maryland, and then the city, including a [-]-kilometer area around it, was blocked and no one was allowed to enter. The official reason given was that the city illegally stored dangerous chemicals, which led to The explosion and the leakage of toxic substances, but the actual situation can be understood by those present after a little thought.

Because in the last meeting just two months ago, No. 700 intentionally mentioned a certain isolated town in Dallas, the inhabitants of which were an ancient branch of the island country that was active in the current Los Santos area more than [-] years ago. Descendants of the nobles, this nobleman gained the power to be omnipotent at sea because of enshrining a certain evil god. It is said that their bodies became invulnerable to all poisons because of the gift of the evil god, they were not afraid of swords, guns and artillery, and they could breathe freely in the water.

The country of pirates was finally disbanded under the pressure of the supreme alliance government. The nobles were also chased and killed by the Dispute Arbitration Court because of their belief in evil gods. History, but the belief in the evil god still continues in that small town.

That is to say, as long as anyone can obtain the favor of the evil god, he will also be able to gain power beyond ordinary people just like the nobles back then.

At that time, No. [-] deliberately spread this information. None of the people present were idiots. They must have seen that this was a bait. Otherwise, No. [-] deliberately concealed some key clues. In the bag, I will not say it and share it with everyone.

After that meeting, everyone investigated the history of the island country in private, and found some scattered records about the nobles, proving that what Number Ten said was not groundless, but out of caution, no one took the initiative to test .

Unexpectedly, it was No. 28 who could not resist the temptation first.

Nagao Tokugawa did it, and then the city of Dallas was blocked. In the same night, he died suddenly on the roof of his villa.

A needle could be heard in the conference room, and everyone was a little scared, thinking that if it was him who couldn't help but seduce him, he might be dead now.

They began to fear Number Ten, wondering what role he played in the incident.

"No. [-], you just revealed your identity."

No. 31 said in a gloomy tone.

He didn't expect that he would get an answer like No. [-]'s in exchange for his question just now.

In the Ageless Club, each member must conceal his identity, not only to prevent being infiltrated by personnel from the foundation and the alliance government, to prevent someone from falsely joining the club, and then leaking everyone's information, but also for the sake of everyone's life .

Think about it, everyone is a high-ranking politician or a business giant. If they know each other's true identity, then it is difficult to guarantee that no one will use this to threaten each other. Awareness of the Foundation and Coalition Government.

In the final analysis, everyone must either keep secret together or die together. There is no third way.

Only the lord who founded the Ageless Society and his envoys know the identities of all the members.

They are all high-ranking and powerful people who have almost come to the end of their lives. Before joining the club, members of the Ageless Society were either old, dying of old age, or terminally ill. Once such people let them see the hope of longevity, they will Take your chances without hesitation.

After experiencing death, I cherish life even more.

The behavior of No. [-] has touched their bottom line.

"It's not about revealing your identities. Don't be in a hurry. You want to know who I am. Feel free to come to Fermi District to investigate, but if you are caught by me, then don't blame me for being rude."

Number Ten's tone was arrogant, and he laughed sullenly a few times after speaking.

Most people just want to be a coward honestly, and they are satisfied as long as they live and enjoy life, so no one responds to No. 31's provocation, and even No. [-] keeps silent.

Seeing that no one paid attention to him, No. 28 continued, "Don't you want to know who killed No. [-]?"

"Foundation?" someone guessed.

But everyone strives to keep things secret, no matter how powerful the foundation's intelligence capabilities are, it is impossible to easily find out Tokugawa Nagao, who is a district councilor.

At this time, No. [-] didn't hold back, and said directly: "It was the envoy who did it."

Hearing this sentence, everyone bowed their heads tacitly, pretending not to hear, no one looked at number ten, and even number 31 began to count how many fingers he had.
