Chapter 298: Chapter 297: The True One Faces the Morning Sun
Like a stone cast into calm waters, these words once again stirred ripples.
Avatar number 2 lit up at this ti.
“In our investigation of Project 651, we found a strange report. This report indicates that there exists another class of life forms on Earth, which the Western world defines as angels and demons, and research on them had started quite early. Of course, they are not only known by these nas, they’ve also been called aliens, and even extraterrestrial beings. For instance, the tales of aliens at Area 51 across the ocean… It currently seems very likely that these are related to that class of life forms.”
The attendees were abuzz.
They were not questioning the intelligence obtained by their superiors, but rather, they were naturally expressing doubt in the face of such a shocking revelation.
“Isn’t Area 51 just any other military no-fly zone?”
“Aliens and such…aren’t they just rumors made up by civilian ET enthusiasts?”
“But it’s also possible that soone used these rumors to divert attention from the truth…”
“The Soviet Union sure kept it quite secret, not a hint of this was leaked to our country…”
“The reason I am telling you this in advance is because Comrade Xue Quan’s conjecture is likely correct. The life forms defined as angels and demons possess powers that defy conventional explanation, to the extent that what appears to require the cooperation of hundreds or thousands of people can be accomplished by one individual alone,” Avatar number 2 continued, “We had previously treated Paradise’s network surveillance as a kind of hacker tactic, which led us to this conclusion: without the cooperation of at least a dozen hackers plus nurous hosting servers, such comprehensive and traceless intrusion would be impossible. But if we consider it as a kind of ability rather than a technical ans, the situation becos completely different.”
The crowd couldn’t help but fall into deep thought.
Fortunately, the discovery of other worlds had already made such bizarre intelligence sowhat easier to accept.
Gao Wei looked at Xue Quan, “I would like to ask Comrade Xue Quan, what information did you base your deduction on?”
“This incident has to start with Wayne Jas,” Xue Quan replied thodically, “Wayne Jas, who once used the alias Joe Jas, was among the first batch of players after the opening of Paradise World. He was an international fugitive, captured a year ago, and following his detainnt in Britannia Island Prison, his whereabouts beca unknown. I had people look into his arrest and discovered that the police did not keep any records, as if soone had intentionally erased them. However, it’s interesting that the reward money was ticulously recorded, a total of one hundred thousand pounds, collected by a person nad Li Suying.”
“Wayne Jas is a sensitive identity, but the reward money isn’t?” Gao Wei pondered.
“It’s also possible that a certain power only wanted Wayne Jas to disappear, and the rest didn’t matter. In any event, my informants spent a long ti trying to find out who Li Suying was, only to discover that it was a completely fabricated identity. But fortunately, the money was delivered on-site, and a video record of it was kept.”
Xue Quan enlarged a photo on the screen, which captured the mask-wearing person collecting money, as well as several waiting figures in the vicinity, among whom the face of a woman seed particularly familiar.
He then dragged another image to the center of the screen, instantly presenting the two images in a comparative style. Only, the latter was not a photograph, but a hand-drawn sketch, featuring a young woman who appeared to be no older than twenty, looking quite youthful. If Zhang Zhiyuan were here, he would recognize at a glance that the girl in the sketch was indeed Ailuodi.
For intelligence officers, drawing facial composites is one of the basic skills. “The intelligence group previously believed that she was also a mber of the Paradise Organization, but more and more evidence suggests that she was not acquainted with Chaoyang in the beginning, and she was much more lax in terms of cybersecurity. Through investigating her, we have obtained many interesting leads, such as her communication with an organization in Canada and her self-proclamation as Angel.”
“Please allow
to interrupt,” Gao Wei expressed doubtfully, “aren’t Angel and Demon opposing forces? Based on previous intelligence, this girl nad Ailuodi has always been assisting Paradise.”
“Indeed, perhaps the two are rely different in nonclature and don’t actually oppose each other as in mythological stories,” soone responded.
“Go on,” Gao Wei encouraged.
“We intended to conduct a deeper investigation through this Canadian organization, but unfortunately, their confidentiality is very rigorous, with the involvent of many large corporations, marking it as a real secret organization. The only intel we could gather is that the individuals involved in the organization’s activities with Ailuodi are not ordinary citizens. We have arranged for personnel to search for their true identities, hoping to procure more leads thereafter,” Xue Quan concluded, “In summary, I believe the discourse around Angels and Demons should not be dismissed as re rumors. While it’s unclear which faction Chaoyang belongs to, he is most likely a special kind of human.”
“Comrades, opportunities and challenges coexist…” Avatar number three spoke again, “If such individuals do exist, how far has the Western world researched this? How many similar individuals are there around the world, and what kind of abilities do they each possess? Finding this out is a task urgently at hand for us.”
“If belief is power, could ordinary people also get a share of it?” Leader number two suggested, “Xue Quan, I think you could give it a try. Should we ever fall out with Paradise, we would at least have so cards to play.”
Xue Quan showed a regretful look. “Reporting to the leader, in fact, I have already conducted a small-scale experint. During so charitable activities of the Paradise Sect, I quietly solved a few crucial survival issues for the prayerful in my own na. However, I did not feel any feedback from the power of belief, nor did any changes occur in my body after receiving gratitude. It may be due to an insufficient scale, or it’s possible that ordinary people simply cannot collect this intangible resource.”
“I, for one, am optimistic about cooperation with Paradise,” Avatar number three chuckled, “Chaoyang, the rising sun in the East, no matter how you put it, he is one of our own, especially since most of his activities are concentrated in dostic cities. There’s no inherent conflict between us, so instead of spending manpower and resources on covert investigations, why not look for an opportunity to have an open talk with him. Also, I think the nonclature of Angel and Demon is too superficial. Considering that there have been rumors about superhumans since ancient tis, it might not be that the Western world discovered them first.”
“You make a good point,” Gao Wei nodded in agreent. “How about we co up with a new na for this class of people? If anyone has a good idea, you can propose it now.”
“Being unpredictable is also inevitable; It embodies both the principle of deception and avoidance of the obvious and the intent of disaster and chaos… I propose we call them ‘Wuwang’,” Avatar number one spoke slowly.
Since the leader had spoken, naturally, no one else vied for the right to na anymore.
“Then… Wuwang shall be the unified designation for these life forms,” Gao Wei spoke decisively. “I suggest that the next phase of the Containnt Center’s work should be to continue the developnt of Paradise World while maintaining a good cooperative relationship with Chaoyang and simultaneously embarking on an investigation of the Wuwang group—with identifying local Wuwang as the top priority.”
