However, she still had some doubts, and one day she asked Gu Qingwan the question that had been on her mind.
"Why didn't they kill me? There were so many assassins who went to Lanjing, and they're all dead. Why am I the only one alive?"
Gu Qingwan disdained to lie about this matter, and she answered calmly.
“When I was preparing to stab you to death, I discovered that you belonged to Japan, and they are the primary targets of our future plan. So your assassination is an opportunity, a reason, that can unleash its greatest value. Think about it, why did the Dezhan family want to destroy all the evidence, even kill your adoptive mother, and why can't you live either?”
"Because... I don't know." September thought for a moment, but couldn't say anything.
“I’ll speak for you, because they’re afraid, afraid of being caught red-handed. In this increasingly tense period of public opinion, how heinous is it that a researcher who has contributed to the advancement of humanity is murdered simply because some selfish and self-serving high-ranking officials are dissatisfied with him? They want my boss dead, but they don’t want others to find out that they did it themselves. Jiang Cheng is a scientific leader, standing at the highest peak in the world. Murdering him is tantamount to murdering the future of humanity.”
Human selfishness and darkness are unimaginable; they would rather the world's technological progress stagnate than have one country become more prominent.
If a disaster strikes and one person dies, he will certainly feel resentful. But if the disaster is global and everyone dies, some people suddenly accept it and find peace in their hearts.
They would rather everyone be mediocre than see someone they know suddenly become rich, as that would produce one of the most terrible emotions of the seven deadly sins.
envy.
However, the absurdity of reality is always surprising. The bigwigs who went to such lengths to stab Jiang Cheng in the neck were exhausted just a few days later and had no time to deal with those trivial matters anymore. It wasn't because the assassination plan for Jiang Cheng failed, but because they lost their reason for killing him.
After the United States' first probe lost contact after entering its intended orbit, the authorities decided to launch the second probe immediately.
Three days later, Observer 2 arrived at H-012's location, and terrifyingly, it exhibited the exact same reaction as its predecessor. It seemed the probe had truly entered a different dimension, a death dimension that could block human signals and devour everything…
The detector was expensive, and even the wealthy United States did not want to waste it like throwing good money after bad. Professor Busch was almost about to announce the termination of the project and that all the researchers would return to their original departments.
Just as Goring heard the news and was overjoyed to know that he would soon be able to return to the Black Tower, a sudden change occurred!
The docking plan was pushed to an unimaginable climax, forcing them to stand in front of an abyss, where retreating even a step was out of the question.
What is this matter?
On December 22, three "Flying Kangaroo" satellites of the Goose Kingdom, located on the equator, lost contact with ground-based observatories, their signals were blocked, and they disappeared into space.
At 11:00 a.m. that day, the Japanese satellites Sakura 1 and 2 experienced the same situation: their signals were suddenly interrupted while in operation, and they could not respond at all.
It's that same day again!
Eight o'clock! Nine o'clock! Ten o'clock at night!
Satellites launched by powerful nations like India, Ruishi, and Ying have all experienced the same phenomenon: a black mass spreads through space, corroding everything in its path.
Weird...
This was the researchers' first impression. The global announcement on the 23rd indicated that 24 satellites were expected to lose connection, encompassing almost all the eyes we use to explore the universe.
Something is trying to blind us.
This incident caused a huge uproar in a short period of time. Everyone in the astronomical community, no, the entire scientific research community, knew about it. Even the general public participated in the discussion, and no one could understand the incomprehensible nature of it.
Can we still explain this using the initial explanations from the scientific community? What kind of space debris could so precisely strike observation satellites from various countries? Many people have come to the conclusion that no matter how hard the truth is to accept, when all the clues point to a fact, no matter how absurd, it is still the truth.
We know very little about the heavens above us, and now we have lost our only means of observing the universe. Perhaps another civilization has discovered Earth, and they are invading in a different way, wanting to gently slaughter a planet, but first they will blind it.
There are many conflicting opinions, and the authorities have been hesitant to come forward and refute the rumors. They have failed to stabilize public sentiment, or rather, they have failed to convince themselves to rationalize the situation.
After countless years of development, has the brilliant and glorious human civilization finally faced its first challenge against all of humanity?
The major powers joined forces; more accurately, the countries that were the first to lose their observation satellites convened an astronomical conference. Although China had not yet suffered any setbacks, as one of the most influential nations, it also sent representatives to participate.
A few days before their departure, Ai Jincheng refused to go with Goring and Mark.
The reason is simple: this global conference was convened solely for one person...
It's even more absurd that the whole world's attention was focused on that person.
After several days and nights of tireless discussion, the United States finally reached a conclusion.
Does an invader actually exist near the Earth's equator? Determining this is crucial, as it signifies whether Earth should be on full alert, fighting for survival!
