Chapter 649: A Strong Sense of Déjà Vu
The sudden turn of events instantly sparked a global discussion.
Who would have thought that after the battle to defend Earth, an alien civilization would still visit Earth?
That's not all; it's also a civilization so similar to humans that anyone who didn't know better would think it was a long-lost brother of human civilization.
It must be said that the Watchers civilization is truly genuine; they actually publicized such a major event widely, instead of just contacting the national leadership for preliminary negotiations.
This is taking the general public too seriously.
And everyone could also tell from this that the people of the Watchers civilization did not have good intentions, otherwise they would not have gone to such lengths.
Even though they could tell that the other party had ill intentions, the group did not panic.
The recent invasion by interstellar overlords was the best rehearsal.
As long as the people are given a glimpse into new things, they can adapt to even the most groundbreaking events much faster.
Moreover, we are now in the "Great Awakening" era. Even if we really go to war with alien civilizations, who wouldn't want to use their common fire-based abilities to create atmosphere?
What's more, there's also the invincible nursery rhyme and night song emperor.
Even the interstellar overlords have been reduced to interstellar stray dogs; those who know, know.
The countermeasures bureau began mobilizing to symbolically maintain order, only to find that it was completely unnecessary.
The people were just a little excited and curious, and did not take the opportunity to burn, kill, or loot.
They just wanted to know what this Watcher civilization would bring them.
War? Alliance? Charity? Or just fun?
Regardless, this is an extremely rare pastime in a short life, and a wonderful story that can be told to future generations many years later.
As for the consequences of failure? They hadn't thought about it.
Or rather, they simply don't believe that human civilization will lose; this is the "confidence" buff that "nursery rhymes" give to human groups.
Countermeasures Bureau Headquarters.
Lou Wei stared at the figure on the screen, waiting for him to explain his purpose.
The countermeasures headquarters will take appropriate measures depending on the situation.
If they come with malicious intent, Lou Wei wouldn't mind making a long-awaited return to the martial arts world, without even needing Ye Ge to intervene.
The gray figure on the screen then further explained their purpose:
"The Watchers civilization possesses a pinnacle technology that can predict future events. Through its predictions, we know that the universe will face destruction ahead of schedule, including the eventual annihilation of our Watchers civilization."
"We refused to be destroyed by disaster, so we decided to change the future, just to ensure the continued existence of the Watchers civilization."
"According to the deduced information, the source of the destruction of the universe is on this planet. Therefore, our Watchers civilization has assembled an expeditionary fleet that has traveled thousands of miles to the solar system, just to confirm the authenticity of the deduced information and thus change the predetermined future."
As Graybeard's voice reached every corner of the blue planet, the screen image changed accordingly, displaying the fleet of ships stationed in space.
The overwhelming torrent of steel did indeed bring a sense of oppression unlike that of interstellar overlords.
The released [N O V E L I G H T] footage further reinforces the authenticity of what Huiyan said.
In order to change the future where the "Watchers Civilization" is casually destroyed, they really sent out their most powerful armed forces.
If they harbor ill will towards human civilization, they are far more terrifying than interstellar overlords.
Seeing this, some people couldn't help but wonder if humanity's current resources could compare to these warships.
"My God, so many interstellar warships! Is this really not a movie scene? Could they all be the legendary Star Destroyers?"
"Damn it, this is a tough opponent even more powerful than the interstellar overlord."
"Our blue planet is actually harboring the source of destruction? Haha, who will dare to say that blue planet isn't the center of the universe now?"
"What kind of movie plot is this? The Blue Star Grand Stage is so impressive! I'm fired up!"
Unlike the general public who just watch the spectacle.
The high-ranking officials at the Countermeasures Bureau headquarters wore subtle expressions.
The Watchers civilization possesses the technology to predict the future, even predicting futures that could destroy the world.
It even gave a general location.
This feels so familiar.
Everyone couldn't help but look at Tu Sheng, who was present.
If it weren't for her prophecy, Earth probably wouldn't be so lively.
Lou Wei and the others finally confirmed that the Watchers civilization had definitely come for Night Song!
Judging from the size of their fleet, they even intend to eliminate the threat by force!
When Fu Qi learned about this, his first reaction was not anger, but doubt.
"Is the information they deduced... missing an important part?"
Lou Wei and Fu Qi knew that Ye Yao could destroy the world because of the prophecy.
After learning more details, such as the truth behind her superpowers, it became clear that she really could destroy the world.
If they knew the true nature of Ye Yao's superpowers, they wouldn't have thought of using force to subdue her.
The resulting numerical results only brought relief, which is why the Countermeasures Bureau chose to go all in.
Rather than fighting against that unreasonable force, it's better to believe that she will eventually be able to control it.
If the Watchers civilization can deduce detailed information about the world-destroying superpower and still make the decision to eliminate it by force, then Fu Qi can only say that the Watchers civilization is quite capable.
Huiyan's speech was not yet finished.
"The Watchers civilization has always adhered to principles and will not disrupt the development of a normal civilization unless necessary. We arrived in the solar system a month ago to observe human civilization and have gained a deep understanding of your culture and history."
"We sent twenty observers to integrate into the human population in an attempt to verify the authenticity of the inferred information, and then made subsequent decisions based on the observation results."
"But not long ago, all twenty observers disappeared without a trace. We have preliminarily determined that they have been killed in action, and the culprit is one of the targets we are observing—Nightsong."
These words were spoken.
Everyone was deeply shocked.
Who doesn't know Night Song these days?
That's the "Night Emperor," who instantly annihilated the interstellar overlord and brutally beat two veterans of the Countermeasures Bureau!
Unexpectedly, she discovered the arrival of the Watchers' fleet so early and silently dealt with the Observers who had infiltrated it.
Not only were the general public unaware of this, but even the top brass of the countermeasures bureau were oblivious to it.
Lou Wei and his group frowned slightly.
𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢
They then thought of the two girls who had recently appeared next to Ye Yao.
Silver Frost and Black Glow were both geniuses who appeared out of nowhere, and coincidentally became friends with Night Song.
It's hard not to associate them with the Watchers civilization during this time period.
Unsurprisingly, they should be one of the twenty observers, who are trying to get close to Ye Yao.
There was no time for anyone to regret not having investigated more thoroughly.
Many more questions await them.
They hadn't seen the two of them recently and assumed they were both in the mysterious world within the painting.
Since they were friends of Ye Yao, the higher-ups in the Countermeasures Bureau did not investigate their whereabouts further.
But if they really have disappeared, wouldn't Ye Yao, who values her friends, have any reaction at all?
Something's fishy!
There's definitely something wrong!
