Chapter 502: Consciousness Resonance_1

```

Hearing these descriptions of Galaxy III, Jiang Yu and the others exchanged glances, this time converging on the same thought.

However, now was not the time to discuss, everyone listened as Galaxy III continued:

Bodde's expression was somewhat twisted: 'This feeling is still very strange, it's like, like I have gained the perspective of another person.

'That perspective is like admiring a piece of art, weaving through the ships.

'I also saw, in the densest part of the ships, a silver-white sphere of light, I couldn't make out what it was, only that the sphere was radiating concentric waves of light outward.

'As the perspective neared the sphere, it suddenly moved rapidly towards the New Continent Star System, I didn't know the exact direction of the sphere's movement, but I was certain in my heart that it was moving towards the New Continent Star System.

'After the sphere disappeared, the ship graveyard also lost its source of light, becoming pitch-black, and that perspective vanished swiftly as well.

'I know that, coupled with my expression, I probably look a bit like a madman, but I urge everyone to take this seriously because I felt an unprecedented sense of crisis.

'And my instincts are usually very accurate.

'That's all I have to report, while I'm still not completely lost, I'm going to blow up the ship.'

'That's where the video ends.'

The video sent by Bodde was short, which probably had a lot to do with his dire situation and the lack of time for more words.

Jiang Yu was the first to speak: 'If we humans survive this ordeal, we also need to posthumously award Bodde a first-class merit!

'If there are survivors, they must remember this soldier of unwavering will!'

The conference room fell silent for about a dozen seconds, as a moment of silence for Bodde.

Ricks was the first to break the quiet: 'Colonel Bod's situation, could it be that the enemy, in the process of fusing his consciousness, inadvertently revealed their own perspective to Colonel Bod?'

Everyone nodded in agreement, clearly all sharing the same thought.

'Since such a phenomenon exists, is it possible that if our consciousness is strong enough, we could turn the tables?' asked Number Three.

Jiang Yu shook his head: 'The enemy's attack comes from the level of consciousness, so theoretically, the best counterattack would also be on the level of consciousness.'

He sighed softly: 'But how to counterattack? How to turn the tables?

'Colonel Bod's situation is just an isolated case, and such cases are far too rare for us to grasp any specific methods or means!'

Number Three also sighed, Jiang Yu was right, theoretically it was possible to turn the tables, but in practice, humanity was far from mastering a method to combat the enemy on the level of consciousness in the short term.

Jiang Yu spoke again: 'What do you think that sphere of light mentioned by Colonel Bod is? Could it be the core of Paradise?'

On this point, opinions were divided and there was no consensus. Some team members said: 'It should be, based on Bod's description, those ships seem like other civilizations attracted by Paradise.'

Some thought: 'It could be some kind of weapon employed by the enemy. Maybe it works in conjunction with Paradise, with the latter attracting the attention of civilizations while it takes care of actively attacking.'

Jiang Yu clapped his hands: 'Regardless, this is likely a new offensive by the enemy.'

To Commander Kuberdow he said, 'We don't need to take the offensive anymore. Let the fleets gather at the periphery of the star system, and wait for the enemy to come!'

A team member asked, 'How long will it take that sphere of light to reach our star system?'

Jiang Yu guessed: 'I don't think it will be too long, so arrange for everyone to enter the curvature flight mode as soon as possible. Even if the enemy's technology is advanced, if we enter the speed of light, I guess they will be powerless!

'This time we have to run further, at least start with two hundred light-years!'

Yet a scholar suggested: 'Paradise is about 2.1 light-years away from us. Even if the sphere reaches the speed of light right away, it'll still take over two years to reach the New Continent Star System. We should have time to escape.'

```

Jiang Yu shook his head, "If I were a God-level Civilization, I wouldn't give my prey such a long reaction time.

"Besides, you should still remember the way Venus moves, right? The reason the Trisolaris civilization, as well as the civilization that launched the two-dimensional foil at us, must follow the speed of light, is simply because they are not powerful enough.

"They can only operate within the rules set by a God-level Civilization, and the reason a God-level Civilization is called so, must be because it possesses extraordinary capabilities.

"Just like the way Venus moves - that's a method of movement we haven't even grasped in theory!"

Having said that, Jiang Yu took a deep breath, "It's already past midnight; let's stop here for today. Members of the emergency team, rest in the office building!"

As he spoke, Jiang Yu got up and stretched, returning to his own rest room.

He first contacted Yang Dong, and thank goodness, she had returned home immediately after receiving the emergency evacuation notice.

She took some food and clothes, and immediately took Jiang Que to the evacuation point, where they were now waiting for departure.

The order at the evacuation point was good; there was no chaos, no violence, and even intelligent robots were providing drinks to everyone.

Jiang Yu talked with Yang Dong for a long time; if it weren't for the fact that Yang Dong and Jiang Que had to board the spaceship, they might have continued their conversation.

Jiang Que couldn't understand why his father had suddenly become so nagging, but Yang Dong probably guessed the reason - Jiang Yu was likely to stay behind, standing firm until the last moment.

Thus, after the call ended, Yang Dong's tears couldn't keep from flowing out.

"Mom, why are you crying?" Jiang Que asked.

Wiping her tears, Yang Dong said, "It's nothing."

"But I've never seen you cry before."

"That was before, now is different," Yang Dong forced a smile, "Xiao Que, I want you to remember everything you see today!"

Then she solemnly said, "Falling behind will get you beaten!"

Jiang Que nodded gravely.

On the other hand, Jiang Yu stared blankly at the grey metallic ceiling - he wasn't unfatigued, but he just couldn't fall asleep.

The images that appeared before his eyes were not those of the heroic feats he had performed in the last four centuries, nor the scenes of people worshiping him, but rather the little moments with his wife and daughter in everyday life.

Jiang Yu smiled, "Humans are indeed fond of warm-hearted creatures!"

"Wallfacer!" Size Three's voice came through the communicator, "There's a new situation!"

Jiang Yu sat up with a jolt, "Damn it, it's here already?"

He strode into the conference room, where the team members had already assembled, along with a few experts and scholars.

The mood was dismal; some were afraid, some were dazed, some were bitter-smiling.

Seeing Jiang Yu arrive, Number Three promptly reported, "Wallfacer! According to the latest information, none of the curvature engines within the New Continent Star System have detected any curvature of space.

"That is to say, our evacuation ships can't engage in curvature flight at all."

Jiang Yu frowned, "How can this be?"

A scholar, head down and face filled with agony, said, "The enemy is like someone wielding a giant iron, ironing out a certain range of the universe!"
