About thirty seconds of silence passed, and dozens of people in the conference room noticed that among the mysterious men, the one in the middle slowly stood up.
"Curiosity is the original source of human progress. I can understand your thirst for knowledge."
“Fear is both an obstacle in the hearts of all living beings and a driving force that makes them stronger.”
The magic power on the conference table dissipated, gradually transforming from invisible light to visible light. At the same time, all the lights in the conference room went out.
Only the magical light source on the conference table remained, illuminating everyone's faces.
Like a three-dimensional image, the light turned into a pattern, depicting the process of humans from eating raw meat and drinking blood to using fire and then gradually evolving into civilization.
"This is what is recorded in textbooks today, but as you are beginning to suspect, there is a hidden history beyond this."
The picture turned into the entire earth and gradually moved away from it, but what appeared was not the universe, but a piece of light, or a ball of light.
The ball of light gradually came closer, and what appeared before our eyes was a color that was like colorful glass and constantly changing.
"This is the world we live in, and this is the endless void."
As soon as the words fell, outside the ball of light belonging to the earth, the surrounding darkness turned into a vast gray area with flowing matter, almost occupying the entire conference room.
"We are like a lone boat in the void. Even with Dawn's current power, it is still difficult to see what is outside the world."
"But as you might have guessed, we are not alone."
One after another, vague balls of light appear in the void, rising and falling, appearing and disappearing, and even constantly changing positions, making them elusive, which seems to indicate that the person presenting the picture does not understand them well enough.
"In the void ocean, there are all kinds of magical or dangerous worlds. Some of them we have more or less known, while others we still know nothing about!"
Just when everyone thought the demonstration would continue, all virtual scenes disappeared and the light in the conference room returned.
"We didn't intentionally hide some things before. It's just that the more we reveal, the more people know and the deeper they understand, which will only accelerate the arrival of the dark tide. However, it seems that the arrival of the dark tide is irreversible. Even so, it is inconvenient to continue the video display."
"Inside the Dawn, only when you are able to control the magic power can you have a deeper contact."
In front of this group of people, Qin Xiaoxia didn't dare to show too many fancy things like he did to the reporters last time.
The immersive experience last time could effectively arouse the resonance of that group of people and increase their loyalty, but the target audience is different this time.
In comparison, Qin Xiaoxia still feels that the power of his own language is more "shocking".
To the special security team and the sentinels, this sentence revealed a key message.
The more people know about some things, the more likely it is that the incident will escalate or lead to something more serious.
In the meeting room, everyone frowned and thought.
"Because this secret was discovered during the confrontation, there is so little information about you? Is this the purpose of Dawn fading out of history and hiding the truth?"
Huang Jiutian suddenly asked.
The middle-aged mysterious man glanced at him, then looked around at the people who were waiting for an answer, and suddenly grinned.
"Although we don't want to admit it, we do have to thank the people in power throughout history for this."
"We once tried our best and survived the outbreak of the Dark Tide, but we were still unable to eliminate all the monsters. By then, Dawn had lost all its talents and the blood of its pioneers had almost run dry... But the Dark Tide seems to have gone away, but the monsters keep appearing."
"Generation after generation, we can only continue to bleed for it, but we never give up looking for ways to eradicate it."
The mysterious man paused, as if he was reminiscing about the past or thinking about the efforts of his ancestors.
"But the human rulers at that time had gradually gotten rid of their fear of monsters. However, at that time, they had a new fear..."
The people present saw the mysterious man suddenly looking at them with a meaningful look and a slightly sad smile, and they suddenly realized something.
Sure enough, the mysterious man's next sentence almost confirmed his guess.
"Powerful monsters are rare, but the heroes of Dawn, who also control powerful forces, are they also a kind of terrifying 'monsters'? So terrifying that they threaten the rule..."
"Humans are always like this. They prepare for new crises before the old ones have passed. Team leader Tao, you once met the sage in Shencheng. Do you still remember the questions you asked?"
The mysterious man's smile at this moment made Tao Xingzhi and Lozov feel a little depressed.
During the long darkness of ancient times, people of dawn ignored the human heart.
As heroes, they do slay demons and build dams to block darkness for humans and the creatures of the world.
But at the same time?
Even without the guidance of those in power, ordinary people have always been afraid of them, rumors of "humanoid monsters" appear from time to time, and private discrimination has never stopped.
And when the real threats decrease and it becomes difficult for ordinary people to even see a monster, conflicts between monsters and humans with special powers can easily arise.
Those in power began to turn against them, and all those with special powers were demonized. People were afraid of them, afraid of the heroes they once were.
The inside of an egg is always fragile! This sentence rang in everyone's mind.
"Rather than fighting monsters, for the members of Aurora, the period that followed was the second 'tide of darkness'. Many people even became depressed and committed suicide because of it... Hehe, of course, there was no scientific name for 'depression' at that time."
The air conditioner in the conference room was still working, but for some reason, the air seemed a little heavy and stuffy, and many people unconsciously loosened their collars.
But more people in the special security team felt cold.
Unlike the Russians, they all knew some of the murals in the Dawn ruins, some of which, such as the stake and the "demon slayer" punishments, seemed both cruel and sad at the moment, allowing them to more intuitively imagine the despair among the Dawn members at the time.
Being betrayed by the person you have tried your best to protect, the collapse of your faith is unimaginable.
All those present were elites, and even if they had not experienced it personally, it was not difficult for them to understand the pain and confusion.
"Not every member of the Dawn has strong combat power, and not every member of the Dawn can kill their own kind..."
The mysterious man spoke slowly and even quietly, but every word he said was heavy.
"If you count carefully, the death rate of Dawn in the second 'Tide of Darkness' is almost the same as the first time. Humans have always had an outstanding talent for killing each other!"
No one took the second half of the sentence as a compliment, and you could hear a pin drop in the conference room.
When these were being said, everyone in the conference room found it so harsh, yet they felt like they wanted to speak but were powerless to refute.
About ten seconds later, the mysterious man let out a long sigh.
"However, it was precisely because of this that the people in power at that time tried hard to eliminate us and ordinary people downplayed the existence of Dawn and its history of fighting against monsters. Several decades later, the Dawn members at that time discovered that the number of monsters invading the world had actually decreased!"
"Yes, at that time, Aurora was already short of personnel, but the number of monsters they had to face was also decreasing."
"Whether it's to escape persecution or to try to eliminate all the monsters, since we can't hold on any longer, why not make one last effort?"
The mysterious man's brief narration revealed the process of the dawn's transformation from brightness to darkness.
The Shuguang people are not good at political struggles, and they never bother to be accused of something.
Not only will those in power erase Dawn's records and existence, but Dawn herself will also secretly erase all of this.
Finally, by the Middle Ages, a dramatic result occurred: the people in power around the world at that time had completely forgotten the dawn of time.
As the only organization that remembered all of this, the Dawn Association can finally appear in the sunlight, complete the unfinished business, and eliminate the highly intelligent monsters that have been integrated into human society.
Even if the name of Dawn were revealed occasionally, no one would recognize them.
