Chapter 30 War! Begins!_1

"How could anyone carve words right in front of their eyes?"

Shi Qiang, who was always competitive and especially stubborn, had never imagined being so rapidly contradicted.

The blood-red text, nightmarish in appearance, flickered before his eyes; no matter how Shi Qiang shook his head, rubbed his eyes, or squeezed them shut, the sentence was etched firmly before him.

You are insects!

You are insects!

You are insects!

A fear of the unknown spread throughout Shi Qiang's heart, and even though he was a tough man seasoned by life and death on the battlefield, in this moment his legs went weak, nearly collapsing to the ground.

Fortunately, Chang Weisi noticed something was amiss and placed a hand on his shoulder, "Da Qiang! Da Qiang! What's wrong with you?"

As he shook him vigorously.

Suddenly, Shi Qiang snapped out of it, as if waking from a dream, and the vivid red text before his eyes vanished as if it had never existed, like an illusion.

No.

It wasn't an illusion!

He stood there, dazed, watching Logic's receding figure, recalling the hysterical behavior and strange mutterings Logic had on his notepad, couldn't help but feel a surge of admiration.

Even if just for a brief moment.

The words that appeared before his eyes had nearly driven him to madness, filling him with boundless fear—and he was professionally trained!

But Logic.

Was merely a scientist.

It seemed he had been tormented by those words for a long time, yet he remained utterly calm, as if nothing were amiss. How steady his mind must be.

Logic.

You are a true warrior!

For the first time, Shi Qiang felt such profound admiration for someone. He watched Logic's departure with respect, blissfully unaware that the true puppet master was right before his eyes.

At that moment, Logic was calmly smoking, smugly savoring his performance. Today's events were just the planting of a seed, and what he needed to wait for was the germination of this seed, and then, at the right time, nurture it with soil and water until it grew into a towering tree.

That is, when Logic became the Wallfacer!

Became the savior!

Became the god of the world!

"Hello, everything's normal; let the stooge proceed with the plan!"

Logic hung up the phone; this was a contingency he had arranged beforehand, already cognizant of the various countries on Earth forming the Temporary Earth Alliance.

He was not like Evans.

Who recruited only the elites of various industries, only the technologically skilled.

He recruited the useful ones.

Members of the Temporary Earth Alliance were naturally the most useful, interfering with the decision-making of Chang Weisi and Shi Qiang, or the implementation of Logic's own plans, the unfolding of the Wallfacer plan—they were all extremely valuable.

Those who seemed to have firm beliefs, nearly invulnerable, had practically no secrets under Sophon's abnormal observation capabilities.

Thus.

A stooge appeared!

To be precise.

An active loudspeaker! A puppet on strings!

Logic didn't need to be present; everything would proceed according to his wishes.

Returning to his temporary residence, with a flick of his finger, a blank wall displayed a riot of colors, projecting images transmitted by Sophon.

Relaxed, Logic poured himself a glass of wine, crossed his legs and leaned back on the sofa, spying on a meeting so secret that not even a fly could infiltrate.

In the art of espionage.

Sophon was truly unmatched.

Not only could it stream live footage but also provide close rounds of observation, allowing one to see inside clothing, clearly disclosing inner structures, and even measuring size and depth...

Cough, cough cough!

This is a serious Sophon!

It must not be used by some evil people to collect resources and then share them with others; such behavior is just too despicable!

The live broadcast was showing the meeting room of the Temporary Earth Alliance.

The protagonist was none other than Chang Weisi.

At that moment, he was explaining about the cosmic flicker to the representatives of various countries, who, having been woken up in the middle of the night, looked utterly bewildered. They turned to ask the scientists beside them, only to become even more confused than they already were.

What is the cosmic microwave background radiation?

What is absolutely impossible?

It's absolutely impossible, why call us here for a meeting in the middle of the night?

The people buzzed with discussion and after exchanging a few glances, they looked at Chang Weisi with strange eyes, their gazes carrying a certain meaning, unclear whether it was mockery or infuriated by being fooled.

Chang Weisi stayed silent.

He was very clear in his heart that sometimes, truths were hard to accept. More talking won't do as much as letting them see for themselves.

He placed his hand on the desk and said indifferently, "Take a look for yourselves!"

He had already placed a pair of 3k glasses in front of everyone's seat. The group of astronomical elites summoned from various countries scoffed and couldn't wait to put the glasses on, already preparing the disdainful comments in their minds.

Laymen will be laymen!

As stupid as pigs.

But the moment they put on the 3k glasses, all their thoughts went blank, and everyone's voices stopped abruptly, falling into a deathly silence.

The vast night sky was already stained with a crimson glow.

Red, chaotic streaks were everywhere.

It was like an invisible shackle.

Pressing down dead and firm on the vault of the sky, sealing off all vitality.

Under the massive shackle, the entire universe at this moment seemed to have turned into a hell soaked with blood!

A cage!

And they... were the lambs to be slaughtered within the cage!

An extreme sense of oppression instantly enveloped everyone's hearts, and even those uninformed representatives, through a few brief words from the surrounding experts, also realized the seriousness of the issue.

Fear was spreading.

The entire command center was so silent it was frightening.

The experts who had previously been ready to mock had lost the luster in their eyes; those with weaker constitutions already started to sob loudly and scream in a breakdown.

After a spell of panic.

The guards outside the command center escorted the experts out.

Taking the opportunity, the representatives of the nations drank some tea to calm their nerves and then, with heavy hearts, listened to Chang Weisi's briefing.

"Everyone!"

Chang Weisi spoke with a serious expression on his face, "Earth is facing an invisible war. An enemy is using despicable means to assassinate our scientists and influence Earth's most fundamental scientific principles. All the suicides of scientists before were their doing!"

One person quickly raised a hand, "May I ask who the enemy is?"

"We don't know," he replied.

The same person asked, "Is there any way to find this enemy?"

"Not at the moment," Chang Weisi responded.

The person looked incredulous, "Then do you have any plan of action?"

"No," was the answer.

Three consecutive 'nos' left everyone at the scene not knowing how to continue, but Chang Weisi continued earnestly, "This is exactly what we need to investigate. Who is the enemy? What kind of strength do they have? What is their level of technology? Where is their base?"

"Only by understanding these can we devise a real strategy!"

"Comrades!"

"The war... has begun!!"
