Chapter 24: The Herald

"Mr. Tang, don't be so surprised. Sergey has long been dead." "Sergey" said, "I am the new Sergey, but we are also old acquaintances. We have fought in South Korea. You are all my defeated men."

Tang Shuxing looked at "Sergei", and a strong sense of oppression came. This sense of oppression was emitted by the "Sergei" in front of him while he was speaking. It was different from wild animals and also from humans. It was strange and terrifying.

"Sergey" sat on the chair and asked again: "Do you know other people in the United Column? You should only know one person, that's me."

Tang Shuxing instantly understood who the person in front of him was, raised his hand and pointed at the other party and said, "You are... Jin Yunhao?"

Kim Yunhao, who had Sergei's face, smiled: "If you like the name Kim Yunhao, you can call it that."

"How is that possible!" Tang Shuxing was very surprised and subconsciously looked at Gu Huaiyi and Ji Kefeng, trying to find the answer from them, but both of them were silent, which was equivalent to admitting this fact in disguise.

"There is nothing impossible in the joint column." Jin Yunhao said calmly, "One night before you found Sergey, I replaced him. As I expected, he was tired of escaping and being monitored. After saying everything, let me give him some pleasure. After all, when he saw a person exactly like himself appeared in front of him, he already understood what would happen to him."

"Okay, I understand." Tang Shuxing stood there, "The United Column has controlled the Asian and European troops?"

Zhan Tianya didn't say anything, just smoking a cigarette, and didn't look up at the people around him.

"Control? It's ridiculous! The Asian and European troops belong to the joint column!" Jin Yunhao grinned, "For you, this must be very surprised, because it is very surprising to Director Zhan. When I was in South Korea, I said that if you didn't cooperate at that time, you will be forced to cooperate one day. Now the facts are in front of you, and you can't agree with it."

"The Asian and European troops have always thought that they are outside the Three Realms and not in the Five Elements, but in the end they end up being someone else's watchdog, and I'm increasingly confused about it. What kind of organization are you? Have such great ability?" Tang Shuxing looked at Jin Yunhao and shook his head, "Can you explain it?"

"Yes, we are allies now, and even if I tell you everything, you can't do anything that hinders your future plans." Jin Yunhao signaled Tang Shuxing to sit down, but Tang Shuxing was still standing, and Qianhu Hei also stood behind him, listening calmly.

"The United Column originated before World War I. It was much older than the legendary period, but at the earliest, there were only two members, both of whom had never left any trace in history, one was a carpenter, and the other was an alchemist..." After Jin Yunhao sat down, he began to tell the history of the United Column.

There is no record of what kind of people the carpenters and alchemists are, what kind of appearance they have, and which country they come from. At the beginning, the two of them just wanted to recreate a place like the Alexander Library.

The Alexander Library is known as the largest library in ancient times. It is both a university and affiliation to many great masters of ancient times. The destruction of this library has become one of the most desolate chapters in the history of human thought. It not only led to Europe entering the dark age, but also hindered the development and progress of science, philosophy, medicine and literature over the past thousand years. Some people described the destruction of the Alexander Library as "a day when history lost memory."

It is impossible to restore this library, because the legendary library was completely burned down and could only build one by itself, but doing so was like Yugong moving a mountain. It was impossible for them to move the gods alone. However, the pioneers of the two joint columns still started their own plans. When they started this plan that was far away and might never be completed, the carpenter was almost 50 years old, while the alchemist was in his 60s.

The plan has made little progress after five years. The collection of books they collected is not very precious. However, they understand that the collection of books that are not precious nowadays is a treasure of mankind in a hundred or even a thousand years later. In five years, they only collected less than 20,000 books of various types. However, during this period, their practice attracted many like-minded people.

However, the alchemist understood that what the library needed was not the people who had a moment of enthusiasm and who participated by suddenly getting angry, so he conducted strict screening, and in the end he only left 10 people to assist them in their work, and some of these 10 people were powerful people.

Of course, the alchemist knew that to make these people loyal to this plan, what was needed was something similar to religious ideas and to use such things to bind their brains. So he founded a secret sect called "Pioneer", a sect that took the philosophy of natural science as its basic doctrine, and at the same time recognized and recognized the beliefs of other members of the organization.

The establishment of the "pioneer" really made these people more devotedly start collecting books. They did many things like General Ptolemy who established the Alexander Library and his descendants. They borrowed the books from the state's libraries to copy, create fakes, collect the real ones in their own libraries, and return the fakes. In this process, they continued to absorb other people to join the sect called "pioneer", and their slogan was very simple, with only three words - all human beings.

After several decades, the growing pioneer organization suffered a heavy blow - because of the outbreak of World War I, their collection work once stagnated. The only thing that made them thankful was that among the pioneer sect, there were politicians and soldiers from the allies and allies on both sides of the war, and William II was also a secret member of the pioneer sect.

At that time, the alchemist was dead, and the mysterious carpenter who took over as the master of the pioneer was the mysterious carpenter. The carpenter suddenly realized that no matter how they tried their best to protect these common heritages left by all mankind, they would eventually stagnate or be completely destroyed by the war of mankind. Just like the Alexander Library at that time, the carpenter changed his early strategies and further reformed the pioneer. The first step was to establish the most advanced medical society at that time within the pioneer, and at the same time, based on the medical society, they began to establish the private army belonging to the pioneer.

Although the chaos of World War I hindered the pioneer's collection work in the early years, it also made the pioneer's organization stronger. However, the members they absorbed were no longer ordinary people. They were either talented people or prominent political leaders who fully agreed with the pioneer's philosophy. By the end of World War I, the pioneer's main members had already spread throughout the Eurasian continent, and at the same time they also absorbed members of some ancient organizations from various countries to them.

But these people will never be core members of the pioneers. The reason is very simple. They cannot truly call the wind and rain in their country, and they play an auxiliary role. The carpenter also realized the commonality between knowledge and intelligence and the role of establishing a core committee circle. However, the time was not ripe at that time, and he was still waiting.

Nearly 20 years later, the carpenter was about to die, but he did not designate any person as his heir. He just announced that from now on, there would be a symbolic leader within the pioneer. In order to avoid this leader changing the purpose of the pioneer, this man must, like him and the alchemist, not enjoy any privileges within the pioneer, not use the pioneer's own funds, and must support himself. He also named the four elements of the ancient alchemy, air, water, earth and fire, and selected four committee members.

The four members and a leader form the core of the pioneer. The leader unites the four major members, and the four major members completely curb the power of the leader. No one can enjoy the privileges and funds of the organization, and have to use the "pioneer core" to manipulate the organization to do anything contrary to human history, even if it is a trivial matter.

Speaking of this, Jin Yunhao stood up and said, "It was from that day that the United Column had its prototype, but this prototype did not really play its role. It was not until World War II began again and after the human race experienced the most terrifying era, the Pioneer Core decided to really intervene and manipulate. Then among the Pioneer Core, a member at that time proposed for the first time that the world needed to establish an organization like the Pioneer Core..."

When Tang Shuxing heard this, he was shocked and blurted out: "Are you talking about the United Nations?"

"Yes, the United Nations." Kim Yunhao nodded calmly, "After the end of World War II, in October 1945, the United Nations Charter was signed and implemented in San Francisco, USA, and the United Nations was announced to be established. However, we did not really penetrate at that time, but we just did the work of Yue Lao, making a match and threading needles. The subsequent Cold War proved that we were completely wrong and should not let go completely."

The pioneers’ real name to the United Column was after the Cuban missile crisis in the 1960s. The pioneer core realized that the world had completely lost control. At the same time, they also discovered the secrets about "reincarnation" hidden in this world (this incident has nothing to do with this novel, see "Midnight Opener" for details), but they did not directly intervene or intervene, but waited for the changes in things.

After the Cuban missile crisis, the pioneers changed their name to the Joint Column and began to gradually penetrate various countries around the world. Finally, they completed their planned infiltration plan before the Soviet Afghan War in 1979. However, in this process, they also discovered the secrets of the ancient humans hidden on the earth. Through long-term analysis and data from all parties, these ancient humans still survived, and these descendants may be the biggest enemy of humans in the future.
