Chapter 112 Different worldviews
Seeing that Edward was unwilling to explain more, although Du Xiaochuan still had many doubts in his heart, it was hard to ask more questions.
Sitting in a taxi, Du Xiaochuan looked at the scenery outside the window. The first time he stepped onto the land of other countries, the scenery outside the window was strange. However, as the car drove along the way, some familiar scenes appeared in Du Xiaochuan's vision. Although it was his first time to come to New York, this world's largest financial city is the focus of attention in TV news. Even if he didn't pay attention to it deliberately, reports about this city would continue to enter people's eyes and into people's ears. It seemed that some buildings that had been seen on TV flashed through the windows, making Du Xiaochuan rise from time to time, feeling familiar.
However, it was not all that kind of vague sense of familiarity. Du Xiaochuan was sure that he had watched some things on TV. As the car drove, he saw from a distance that a square rectangular building with a straight square shape appeared in his sight. Du Xiaochuan naturally knew what this building was. After all, this building appeared in the news too many times, and it was difficult not to remember it. That building was the United Nations Secretariat Building.
Although there are many curves, if Du Xiaochuan checks carefully, he will find that the car he is now riding is approaching the matchbox-like building.
"Edward, you're not kidding! You're talking about the branch of the Holy Cross Guild?" He said in surprise when the car got closer and closer to the building that Du Xiaochuan had seen countless times in the news.
No wonder Du Xiaochuan was so surprised. In front of the straight 39-story slab building with a straight glass surface, there were flags of nearly two hundred countries floating. Any modern person who has paid a little attention to the news may be extremely familiar with the building in front of Du Xiaochuan. Du Xiaochuan never thought that the address of the New York branch of the Holy Cross Guild that Edward mentioned would be in such a place: the United Nations Secretariat Building.
Edward asked in confusion about Du Xiaochuan's surprise: "Is there anything wrong with the New York branch of the church organization located here?"
"Do you want to tell me that the New York branch of the Holy Cross Guild is set up in such a place? It's actually not surprising at all! This should be the United Nations Secretariat Building!" Seeing Edward's natural appearance, Du Xiaochuan couldn't help but say.
"Oh, yes! But what does this have to do with the fact that the New York branch cannot be built here?" Edward said in even more confusion.
"This!" Du Xiaochuan really couldn't find a reason to refute after Edward asked this.
Seeing Edward's reaction made Du Xiaochuan reminded him of A Fei's indifference to secular rights, finance, and politics. Edward now gives Du Xiaochuan the feeling that he is very acquainted with A Fei.
Recalling the existence of the Joint Parliament, Du Xiaochuan suddenly understood Edward's reaction. After all, the group of practitioners who really control the world are the real masters of the world. The country and government are all puppets of practitioners. With absolute power, they would not care about secular politics. Just like now, Du Xiaochuan would be very surprised to know that the branch of the Holy Cross Guild was actually located in the United Nations Secretariat Building. Edward was completely incomprehensible to Du Xiaochuan's surprise. That's because in Edward's eyes, the building of the United Nations Secretariat was no essential difference from an ordinary office building. People who practiced are very indifferent to the concepts of secular rights, power, money, and politics. The general concepts in the secular world are completely unfavorable.
"I can't adapt to the view of orthodox practitioners yet!" Du Xiaochuan sighed in his heart.
Although Du Xiaochuan has reached the spiritual realm and has even liberated his true name. According to Edward, he has actually entered the level of leadership in the cultivation world. Although Du Xiaochuan's cultivation level cannot be underestimated, for him who is not a legitimate practitioner, the values he has developed in the secular world in the past twenty years are completely different from those of the legitimate practitioner. It is still quite difficult to transform the values of the past twenty years.
In Edward's introduction to the New York branch, Du Xiaochuan also received surprising information. According to Edward, the statement that the New York branch of the Holy Cross was located in the United Nations Secretariat building is actually incorrect. The correct statement is just the opposite. The United Nations office building is located in the Holy Cross Society branch! Just as China is actually the sphere of influence of the Six Path League and the Immortal League, the Holy Cross Society also has its own sphere of influence. Their sphere of influence is this land in North America. Since three hundred years ago, this has been a branch of the Holy Cross Society. As a secular world, the United Nations has a very symbolic organization. For the sake of the security of this organization, the United Nations office building has been built within the headquarters of the Holy Cross Society.
Just when Du Xiaochuan was shocked by these inside stories, the two of them entered the building with iconic significance in the world without any obstacles. After entering the elevator, Du Xiaochuan originally thought he would go up along the elevator; but as Edward inserted a special card into the hidden card slot in the elevator, the elevator shook violently and began to move.
"This elevator is descending." Du Xiaochuan said in confusion.
"Yes, the New York branch base of the Order is one hundred meters below the ground."
After a while, Du Xiaochuan finally felt the vibration of the elevator again. When the elevator door opened, Du Xiaochuan appeared at the sect base 100 meters deep in the "United Nations Office Building". However, after leaving the elevator, what made Du Xiaochuan quite magical was that what appeared in front of him was a small town with the style of the American western style in the movie.
"What's going on?" Du Xiaochuan raised his head and looked at Tiankong and asked.
Because above Du Xiaochuan's head, it was not as he imagined, a reinforced concrete structure. Above his head was a blue sky and white clouds. Around the secret base, there was a vast grassland with no boundaries. If it weren't for the long-term landing of the elevator, Du Xiaochuan wouldn't believe that he would be underground a hundred meters. Apart from the nostalgic architectural style here, it was simply no different from the natural environment outside.
Edward smiled and said, "The scenery here is all transformed by magic circles. After all, staying underground for a long time will make people feel bored. This is a magic circle set up to improve the living environment. Every two hours, the illusion will change, which is quite interesting."
