Extra 4: The Broken-Down Society

Extra 4: The Broken-Down Society

Lucian, the new president of the Freemasonry and a core conservative figure, is looking around the people in the conference room.

This is a stepped conference room, with conference chairs arranged in a semi-arc shape, and dozens of high-level members of the United Freemasonry sitting here and there.

Lucian sighed.

——The originally prosperous United Freemasonry Association has been reduced to a state of disarray in just two months. How can we not feel heartbroken?

If you want to blame, you can only blame those radical fanatics who want to change the social structure of mankind!

Clearance plan?

——It’s simply a devil’s black joke!

At this time, Lucian's gaze stopped at an empty seat near the middle of the first row - there was a nameplate on the table, which read: "Fang Wenjian"'s name.

Fang Wenjian has been away from the United States for nearly a month. It is said that he took his little lover on vacation... After this meeting is over, Fang Wenjian should be able to return to the United States.

This time, Fang Wenjian was really wronged - Lucian decided to make it up to Fang Wenjian. As the president, he roped Fang Wenjian into his own camp, but he could not guarantee his safety. Instead, he wanted him to live in exile. outer--

More importantly, he wanted to let Fang Wenjian know that he, Lucien, admired China Fang Wenjian very much - this mysterious oriental man could actually take the captain of Amos's H Rangers under his command and serve him - Lucian was sure , this man is absolutely extraordinary.

Fortunately, I drew him to my camp in time...

"President? President?"

Lucian came to his senses.

He cleared his throat, smiled heartily at everyone, and said with bright eyes: "Everyone, it is really not easy for us to be reunited today."

"The fierce struggle within the Freemasonry will only lead to the decline of our century-old Freemasonry - we Freemasons are all brothers, why do we have to make such an ugly scene?"

"——It's all because some people in the Freemasonry completely ignore the collective interests of our Freemasonry and only want to satisfy their own selfish desires."

"I am referring to the Radicals. Unfortunately, they may never be able to enter the Freemasonry again."

"They are cynical and have a deep distrust of human society. They want to imitate God and screen humans——"

"Society is a process of cleansing human beings. Human intervention will only have side effects."

"What's more, if what the radicals do is known to the outside world, then our Freemasonry will face the crisis of destruction - other people will be afraid of our Freemasonry and hate us. Then, we Freemasonry will The society will perish..."

"Even if the outside world doesn't know about it, their actions will accelerate our death - in a very dishonorable way."

"Maybe everyone here thinks I'm being alarmist."

"I have evidence here that they will introduce viruses and bacteria they developed at will into human society - this behavior is like opening a Pandora's box. No one knows how these terrible viruses and bacteria will spread among humans. If it is infected, what kind of mutation will occur...perhaps all humans on the earth will die as a result."

“Think about it, if the human population were to decrease dramatically — would that really be a good thing?”

"Felix Cooper, most of your family's pharmaceutical business relies on the sale of drugs for patients with chronic diseases. If the virus defeats the immune systems of these people, leading to the death of these people who take chronic disease drugs... Your family treats chronic diseases Can you still sell the medicine? How long can you sustain it before going bankrupt?"

"Christopher Black, how can your airline business and shipping business continue? A large number of planes at the airport will be idle, and the ships will rust at the dock. In order to earn back the cost, the fares have to be increased - —Will anyone still choose to fly or take a ship? They would rather not spend money and keep the money for living.”

"Edie MacPherson, your manufacturing industry is mainly supported by cheap labor in the third world. If the population decreases sharply, labor costs will become extremely expensive... You should know that our government, in order to ensure that there is sufficient cheap labor, How much effort has been made by the labor force?”

Those whose names were called bowed their heads and remained silent.

Those whose names were not called dared not make eye contact with Lucian.

Fortunately, Lucian no longer asked questions by name, but said kindly and seriously: "I, Lucian, serve our Freemasonry wholeheartedly. I am really heartbroken after seeing all the actions of the radicals over the years." It’s—”

Everyone around the table of the Union, you look at me, I look at you, I don’t know how to answer the question.

Suddenly, a tall red-haired man spoke lazily: "Lucian... President, how should we trust you?"

The person who spoke was the Secretary of the Freemasonry—Bill. Innes.

The responsibilities of the secretary are to issue meeting notices, record the content of the meeting, control the direction of the meeting, etc.

Secretary Bill continued: "...why did Nathaniel and Fred disappear mysteriously? Who was our President Andrew killed? As far as I know, after Nathaniel and Fred disappeared, The United Nations has asked some members of our Freemasonry Association for help. They urgently stated that President Andrew was abducted and asked for support. "

"However, the rescue was too late. President Andrew died on his private island in Country F. The cause of death is unknown."

"Nathaniel and Fred are also missing. It is estimated that they are unlikely to be alive."

"And the mercenaries who had direct contact with the three of them have died one after another in recent days, and no one survived..."

Bill stared at Lucien with his brown eyes, half teasing and half seriously saying: "Please tell me, are these your doing? I made a bold guess: you sent people to kidnap President Andrew, and Nathaniel and Fred asked the Masons for help. You were afraid that the matter would be exposed, so you just killed everyone, right?"

Bill stood up, turned around, and said to all the Masons in the room: "Think about it, everyone, they are dead, missing, "Who has benefited the most?"

"Of course it is our current president, Mr. Lucien."

"Look at the fate of our former members and old partners. Either their years of foundation were destroyed, or their family's lifeline was seized by others, or they were caught by others and investigated by the federal government, and then they were ruined..."

"President Lucien, you planned all the actions and eliminated all those who opposed you - is it reasonable to guess so?"

Bill said, sat back in his seat, and looked at Lucien fearlessly.

Bill's words were like dropping a heavy bomb in the room.

People couldn't help but lower their heads and whisper.

-Being questioned in public, old Lucien was calm and showed no fear.

Lucien nodded: "Your guess is indeed reasonable, but unfortunately, the reality is completely different from what you said."

"Besides, I am an upright person and disdain to use such inferior means to achieve my goal. If I were such a person, I would have done it many years ago. Why wait until today?"

Bill snorted coldly, with a look of disdain on his face.

Lucien was not angry or arguing, but just said slowly: "Here, I have a recording of Nathaniel and Fred asking for help from the Masons. You might as well listen to it and see if you can find the problem."

After speaking, Lucien nodded to his work assistant.

-Lucien did not bring his silver-haired life assistant Heidi (a tall silver-haired woman).

Because she is a woman, she is not qualified to participate in the Masons' meeting.

The work assistant sat next to Lucien, at a slightly lower table. After hearing the order, he clicked on the audio file in his notebook.

Nathaniel's voice came from the speakers above the conference room: "Requesting help from the presidents of the Southeast Asian Masonic Chapters and members with available resources near Country F. Our president has been kidnapped by a Chinese woman! The woman is very dangerous. She killed dozens of our mercenaries and blew up the experimental island in the Pacific Ocean... Please send reinforcements as soon as possible!"

The recording stopped abruptly.

Lucian looked at Bill and asked: "Did you hear that? A Chinese woman, single-handedly, kidnapped our president and killed dozens of fully armed mercenaries - do you think it's possible?"

Bill shrugged: "Maybe Nathaniel misjudged it? He thought there was only one enemy."

Lucian did not explain too much, but said: "Let's listen to the next recording - the next recording you are going to hear was recorded on a laptop before President Andrew was killed. We found the burned laptop in his house on his private island. The technicians spent a lot of time and energy to repair it with great difficulty."

Lucian nodded to the assistant.

——The next moment, Angel's voice rang out over the empty conference room.

"I don't know if my recording can be discovered... I have been placed under house arrest by Nathaniel and Fred on my private island, and all my connections with the outside world have been cut off."

"——The reason is that I went to inspect the experimental island of Country F and found that Nathaniel and his team decided to secretly release the virus they developed with a high mortality rate, so they wanted to stop their laboratory funding supply and told me to report this to the Masonic Society. Unexpectedly, they were so bold as to detain me... Fortunately, the few loyal mercenaries I brought with them carried explosives and blew up the laboratory."

"The angry Nathaniel and his team took me to my private island and forced me to hand over the key to the Masonic Society, withdraw funds, and mobilize people. manpower and material resources. "

"...They found the Spanish flu virus that once ravaged the world and conducted experiments. The newly generated virus was tested on living people, and the mortality rate was very high. Those who survived by chance would also leave very terrible sequelae... They did not want to eliminate humans, but wanted to wipe out everyone! They did not have a vaccine!"

"So, I rejected their request. I don't know what they will do to me next..."

"I think they will try to kill me next. Put the blame on the conservatives-"

"In this way, the radicals will definitely be angered and will choose to support Nathaniel and others and release the virus-"

Angel's voice suddenly became nervous.

"They are coming-"

The recording stopped here.

-This is indeed the voice of President Andrew!

After listening, everyone was shocked and then whispered to each other.

The discussion became louder and louder.

"Who knows if this is forged by you?" Bill did not buy it. But the disdainful smile on his face could no longer be maintained.

Lucian said gently: "What ability do I have to forge such a recording? The person who repaired this recording was not my people, but the deputy director."

"He is currently under investigation by the FBI, so he missed today's meeting - whether it is true or not, you can ask him personally after the FBI finishes investigating him."

Another senior executive spoke.

——Many of his friends and relatives are radicals. They were affected by this purge movement and were dissatisfied with Lucian. It was only for future considerations that I had to bow my head.

I heard him ask: "President Andrew said that Nathaniel and the others wanted to blame the conservatives for his death? But - how to blame the conservatives?"

By implication, what role did you conservatives play in this?

If they were really completely unaware, there was no way they could blame it.

Lucian explained: "The Chinese woman that Nathaniel and Fred said kidnapped President Andrew was the lover of our conservative elite, the antique tycoon Fang Wenjian. A Chinese female star. "

"President Andrew is very interested in Fang Wenjian - White Club can testify that President Andrew has been monitoring Fang Wenjian in his room, wanting to see if he is qualified to be his friend. The answer is yes. Because. Afraid that the radicals would be unfavorable to Fang Wenjian, this friendship was buried underground."

"President Andrew went to country F, and Fang Wenjian's lover happened to be nearby, so he invited her to be a guest and learn about Fang Wenjian's current situation."

"Who would have thought that in order to continue the experiment and obtain funds, Nathaniel and the others actually... did such a despicable thing and killed our former president..."

"Nathaniel and the others killed the president, but left behind Fang Wenjian's lover - the purpose was to blame all the crimes they committed on Fang Wenjian and me, Put the blame on the conservatives!”

"They used electric shock brainwashing - they wanted to wash this woman's brain into a blank, make her a thoughtless person, and instill false memories into her brain -"

"Fortunately, there was a loyal Freemason member on the boat they were on - I can't tell you his name, lest his family be implicated and persecuted. He managed to save Fang Wenjian's lover. He took her wandering on the sea and finally arrived at an isolated island. However, this great member was accidentally bitten by a sea snake and died after struggling for a few days——"

Everyone's expressions revealed their innermost feelings.

Lucian could see that they were almost convinced.

If he wants to secure his position as general secretary, he must clear Fang Wenjian's suspicion, so that he can also get rid of the suspicion.

But this is not enough.

Lucian paused for a technical moment before speaking again.

This time, he made an invitation gesture with his right hand and pointed it at a member of the first row.

The one who stood up was the current head of the Kasai family: Sae Kasai.

Kasai Sae's expression was gloomy. After bowing to Lucian, he turned to everyone:

"Most of the people here must know about the disappearance of my little girl - she disappeared mysteriously when she went to participate in the Golden Island auction. Also disappearing were the auction items we brought there - that was quite a lot. Precious biochemical experiment information."

"And we found part of the information on this biochemical experiment in the wreckage of the computer in Nathaniel's laboratory in country F... I can guarantee that no more than ten people have seen this information. And they are all We are members of the Kasai family.”

"Presumably... my little girl saw something was wrong, or found some clues, and then she wanted to run away with the experimental materials. Unexpectedly - my little girl is no longer alive... I just wish I could kill Nathaniel. Revenge for my little girl!”

Saae Kasai gritted his teeth and his eyes were slightly red.

Lucian gave Kasai Sae five seconds of sympathy, and then said solemnly: "Mr. Kasai, please forgive me."

"In addition to the important information lost by the Kasai family, we also restored some data in their computers. They did not make a virus vaccine-"

Someone immediately asked loudly: "Where did those viruses go?"

Lucian raised his right hand and pressed it down in mid-air: "Don't worry, they are all in the bombed laboratory. They have all been inactivated. We found Nathaniel and his friends at the scene who packed and sent them to the Southeast Asian transportation hub. Record - If President Andrew's loyal mercenaries had not used their own bodies as bombs to blow up the laboratory - I and everyone here would not be able to arrange such a face-to-face meeting today. "

"In addition, I also found the emails exchanged between Nathaniel and Fried - these emails will clearly show how scared they were when they heard that President Andrew was going to inspect their experiments, and they also guessed that Andrew would The director realized that their approach might cut off their funds, so Nathaniel hurried to the experimental island and arranged manpower. At that time, they had decided to give it a try. "

Lucian suddenly changed his expression from answering questions seriously before, and his sharp eyes like an eagle scanned everyone present one by one:

"All the evidence is here. You can investigate and collect evidence at any time - but if someone still holds some evil thoughts that violate the laws of human social development and attempts to continue the previous human cleansing plan, then I'm sorry, other radicals Everyone must have seen the outcome.”

"Of course, if anyone questions the death of President Andrew, they can investigate on their own. I am also willing to do my best to assist you in the investigation."

Questioning the death of the former president?

No one cares.

All everyone cares about is their own future.

They are only worried about whether they can keep their wealth.

Lucian breathed a sigh of relief.

This meeting went very smoothly, which proved that his position as president was completely stable.

As for the subsequent development of the Masons, we can only wait and see. It can be foreseen that it will take decades to restore the prosperity of the past...

Lucian is full of enthusiasm, has a beautiful dream, and is willing to devote everything he has to support the Masons.

Unfortunately, Lucian is unable to reverse the situation.

Since the radicals were cleared out of the Masons, the Masons began to crumble.

The seeds of doubt were planted in the hearts of the Masons.

They found that when danger came, no one could be trusted.

Not only could they not be trusted, but they might also be implicated by others.

——If so, it is better to go your own way. At least you don't have to worry about being betrayed, implicated, or forced to do things you don't want to do. You don't have to pay dues, don't have to contribute your connections and resources to the Masons, and your life doesn't have to be monitored by the Masons.

Six years later, Lucien died of a sudden heart attack-by that time, the Masons had already become a mess.

And Lucien's death directly accelerated the demise of the Masons.

Within a year after Lucien's death, the presidents of the Masons' branches left the Masons on their own, sold the Masons' public assets on hand, and put them into their own pockets. The public property of the Masons was divided up by everyone like a bandit-

At this point, the Masons completely collapsed.

In history, only some texts and pictures are left for people to guess about the magnificence of the Masons in the past, and how the Masons used resources to control the operation of human society-
