ALL NOVELS' LIST | Chapter List: The Last Commander of the Red Alert XXX-----XXX-----XXX-----XXX "I don't know what you're talking about. I
"I don't know what you're talking about. I'm a member of the Star Exploration Hall? Are you joking?"
It must be said that the middle-aged man's acting skills were quite impressive, but having watched the spy-level performances, his act was riddled with flaws in Yun Ru's eyes.
"The 'Fengbao Empire,' you shouldn't be unfamiliar with this book, right?"
The middle-aged man remained unfazed, even closing his eyes.
Yun Ru chuckled, thinking that silence wouldn't keep her from extracting information.
She then produced something from her person that resembled a helmet and placed it directly on the middle-aged man's head.
The middle-aged man became somewhat anxious. "What is this? What do you intend to do? Do you realize this is against the law?"
Observing the middle-aged man's stern and nervous demeanor, Yun Ru explained with a mischievous grin, "Just a little gadget to make you speak the truth, nothing more."
The light on the helmet lit up, and the middle-aged man's expression shifted from struggling to numbness, a clear sign of being under Psychic control.There was a significant gap between the products of Psychic technology and their usage by individuals, and it was evident at a glance that this individual was under Psychic control.
This was undoubtedly a technological creation, not some non-scientific item, and it hadn't triggered any unusual reactions.
It was worth noting that within the Yuri Faction, not only could people use Psychic power, but some technological products could also harness Psychic power.
"All right, tell me about the secrets within the Star Exploration Hall."
In the state of Psychic control, the middle-aged man divulged everything. His first statement left Yun Ru in shock.
"We've discovered the truth about this World; this World is false!"
Yun Ru's expression changed. Could this World really be false?
In fact, it was possible. For instance, in the case of the Red Alert World, if someone were thrown into it, had all their memories of the real world erased, and had artificial memories implanted, they would perceive the Red Alert World as their reality.
The issue was with the natives of this World. They had come from outside the planet, and there had been absolutely no incidents or opportunities for false memories to be implanted. So, how could they not know that this World was false?
Yun Ru didn't immediately deny this claim but instead began to ponder the assumption that this World was false.
With this perspective, some of the previous situations started to make sense. If there was some entity within this World, akin to Alice, monitoring it, it might trigger a self-preservation mechanism when anyone mentioned information from the outside world – a riot of life.
If it's false, the gradual disappearance of the bodies after death doesn't seem surprising anymore. After all, there's respawning in the game; the vanishing of a few limbs is nothing compared to that.
And as for the sudden appearance and popularity of the book "Fengbao Empire," it must have manipulated certain programs to create this illusion.
However, Yun Ru sensed something peculiar. If it truly monitors the entire world, why didn't it erase the memories of the Star Exploration Hall members when they discovered the truth about the World?
Yun Ru didn't interrupt, allowing the middle-aged man to continue, even in his Psychic-controlled state.
"At first, it was us, the Star Exploration Hall, who invented the Spaceship capable of traveling into space. This fact excited all of us. Everyone wanted to see with their own eyes what the universe was truly like."
"But what none of us expected was that when we announced the development of the Spaceship, it seemed as though everyone disregarded our announcement. Even when we quietly told a few people, it was as if they hadn't heard us. To put it in a nutshell, it was as though the nine of us had been abandoned by the World."
Just the thought of it sent shivers down Yun Ru's spine. No one could hear the truth she spoke; only the nine of them knew. It truly felt like they had been forsaken by the World.
"Later, we withdrew the announcement, but we didn't give up on building the Spaceship. Thankfully, our orders still went through. After years of effort, we finally constructed the first Spaceship. Unfortunately, only the nine of us knew about it, and no one could share in our joy."
"At that time, we were prepared to take a leap of faith, to board the Spaceship and journey into space. Little did we know that this very journey would reveal the truth about this World."
As he spoke, even in his Psychic-controlled state, a look of terror remained etched on the middle-aged man's face. It was an instinct deeply embedded in his memory, and he couldn't resist it.
"This Planet, long before, had no living souls left!"
Yun Ru was left dumbfounded. What did this mean? There were no living souls on the entire Planet? Then what were the people she had seen? Ghosts?
"This is the truth we saw from the Spaceship above the Planet. This truth led us to self-doubt. If the entire Planet had perished, were we still human? Had we all died, but we couldn't become conscious of it?"
At this moment, Yun Ru noticed that the middle-aged man's figure had become somewhat ethereal. She initially thought it was her imagination, but then Alice's voice rang out: "Yun Ru, this person's body is becoming more ethereal. My data cannot pinpoint the exact reason."
The middle-aged man remained completely unaware of this in his Psychic-controlled state; he continued to reveal everything he knew.
"Not only were there no living souls on the Planet, but we also attempted to venture far away from it, but we couldn't. It was as if some mysterious power confined the entire Planet, preventing our spaceship from straying too far. Even though we could see the universe right before our eyes, we couldn't cross over."
"Helpless and with our energy depleting, we returned to the surface. The scenery we witnessed here was entirely different from what we saw in the sky. This left us temporarily perplexed. After all, satellites in the sky always saw the same landscape below. It was no different from what we usually observed, right?"
"We conducted numerous experiments later on and ultimately concluded that you could only see this kind of scenery when you were close to the limits of space. We made many speculations in secret, but we lacked any concrete evidence."
"Without evidence, we dared not divulge these truths, especially after what happened last time. We suspected that there was something lurking in the shadows behind this World, watching us. We couldn't tell anyone about the Spaceship; one of our greatest fears was that this entity didn't want us to break free and would directly eliminate us."
"Fortunately, we are still alive, but we have never shared these matters with anyone. It's a pact among the nine of us."
