Chapter 241: Human Civilization’s Shining Moment (1)

Chapter 241 – Human Civilization’s Shining Moment (1)

New York, United Nations Headquarters, Building B, Observer Conference Hall:

Upon hearing what Chen Yu said through the screen, everyone inside the hall started having hushed discussions among each other.

America’s representative, who sat in the north of the round table, frowned as he fell into deep thought. He made one conjecture after another in his mind, never able to get a good grasp of Chen Yu’s goal.

After a while, America’s representative looked toward the middle-aged man representing China.

Sensing the American representative’s gaze, the middle-aged team leader turned to look at him, nodded, and smiled.

American’s representative remained silent.

In his eyes, this “opponent” of his undoubtedly had facial paralysis. After all, the man wouldn’t bat an eye no matter what kind of news the middle-aged team leader heard. Although the man’s subordinates weren’t as expressionless, they knew too little information, so using their reactions as reference were of little use.

This situation placed him in a bind.

After thinking for a while, he finally couldn’t hold back and asked, “China’s Representative, do you know of the plan Transdimensional’s UP mentioned?”

“We…”

“Don’t know.” America’s representative preemptively said what the middle-aged team leader wanted to say. “I knew you would say that.”

The middle-aged team leader: “…”

“However, I want to hear you say something else. Aside from ‘We don’t know,’ tell me something else.”

“We don’t understand,” the middle-aged team leader said.

“Something else aside from ‘We don’t know’ and ‘We don’t understand.”

“We aren’t clear.”

“…As a member of the Observer organization.” In a severe tone, America’s representative said, “Please respect your colleagues.”

Suddenly, everyone inside the hall fell silent as they observed this abrupt argument.

“We have always respected our colleagues. We have also responded to the creed of a community with a shared future for mankind.” Slowly, the middle-aged team leader said, “However, Transdimensional’s UP possesses wisdom and ideas surpassing mortal men. If he doesn’t take the initiative to disclose his plans, how can ordinary people like us hope to discern his plans in advance?”

“I don’t believe you.”

The middle-aged team leader: “…”

“They have always said your side has inside information.”

“Who said this?”

“…Right, who said this…” In a quiet tone, America’s representative said, “I heard it by chance.”

“Hahaha.” The middle-aged team leader laughed.

“What’s so funny?”

“Nothing. If you say the same thing, it is only natural I will find it funny.”

“Do you think it’s funny?” The expression of America’s representative gradually became gloomy.

“It is funny. So, shouldn’t I laugh?”

“…”

“…”

A brief silence fell over the Observer Conference Hall.

“In that case, how do you explain how your side managed to obtain Transdimensional’s UP’s microbial bacteria in advance? Don’t ask me how I know this.”

“I don’t know the specific process, either.” The middle-aged team leader shook his head. “The general explanation is that while Transdimensional’s UP was collecting animals in the zoo for his experiment, he has struck many animals with the Fight Pillow and ended up leaving a lot of powder. I’m sure everyone here has seen the zookeepers inside the castle. They have been transferred over from the zoo. As for other so-called inside information, if the UP doesn’t disclose his plans, we won’t be able to understand what he’s trying to do either.”

The middle-aged team leader’s explanation sounded reasonable. Under the restriction of many factors, America’s representative had no choice but to give up on continuing with his mind games…

In reality, though, everything the middle-aged team leader had said was the truth.

He had simply concealed a small bit of information…

And that was the fact that Chen Yu had ordered the zookeepers not to approach the Headmaster’s Tower and library.

In the case of the Headmaster’s Tower, it was Chen Yu’s living quarters, so it was understandable why he would prohibit others from approaching it. However, in the case of the library…

When the middle-aged team leader connected this point to the fact that Chen Yu had invited numerous experts and scholars, he could roughly sketch out the truth already…

…

Walking alone in the vast castle complex, Chen Yu basked the aura of culture and mystery his surroundings gave off.

The sky, castle, and mages.

The combination of these three words could give people unlimited room for imagination.

Science was a general term for analyzing the nature and laws of the world.

Magic was the desire to explore the power and mystery of nature.

Meanwhile, the essence of both was human beings’ pursuit of the unknown.

At this time, Chen Yu had an indescribable feeling as he stood in this floating castle, a combination of science and magic.

It didn’t matter even if he lived in a big villa or high-end apartment. The living experience in these places would never be able to compare to living in a real castle.

This was especially true for a magical castle such as Hogwarts.

Harry Potter was so famous worldwide because of the irresistible charm this magic city held.

Over the past week, he had frequently visited the floating castle just so that he could sit in a random corner and quietly feel the passing of time.

Five minutes later, Chen Yu arrived inside a hall and snapped his fingers.

Snap!

Boom… Boom… Boom…

A moving staircase appeared, and the doors to the Headmaster’s Tower opened.

Walking up the flight of steps, Chen Yu arrived inside the study. However, he did not hurry to put on his protective suit. Instead, he calmly brewed himself a cup of coffee, sat in front of the dim glass window with his legs crossed, and observed the floating clouds outside.

At this moment, there was only one word left in his heart.

Nice…

…

Twenty minutes later, Chen Yu returned to the central courtyard, fully armed.

At this time, over 300 participants were laid unconscious in the courtyard, with most of them being the hospital group’s patients.

“How’s the situation?” Chen Yu asked one of the hospital supervisors. “Have there been any changes to the patients’ conditions?”

“We don’t have any equipment to check, so we can’t draw an accurate conclusion.” Revealing an excited expression, the supervisor said, “However, some patients with lung inflammation have stable breathing rates now. The blood pressure of some patients has also begun to stabilize.”

“Good, then. After these patients return to the hospital, I’ll be paying you a visit in a few days for a detailed analysis report.”

“No problem!”

Nodding, Chen Yu walked through the portal and saw that the massacre on the “battlefield” had already begun to lull.

Similar to the castle’s central courtyard, the plaza was filled with slumbering people.

The police officers that maintained law and order had also taken the initiative to collect the scattered Fight Pillows and stack them up in a clean spot.

“Truly excellent teammates!” Chen Yu exclaimed. Picking up the delivery box, he quickly went forward to store the pillows.

“One, two, three…twenty-two…twenty-four…two hundred and seventy-eight…”

“U-UP! Can you give me an autograph?” At this time, a police officer in a military coat approached Chen Yu while rubbing his palms together nervously. With an expected look, he asked, “Also, can we take a group photo afterward?”

“Huh?” Lifting his head, Chen Yu froze for half a second. “No problem. Where do I sign?”

“On my notebook.”

“Sure.”

After getting the autograph and group photo, the police officer left gratefully.

Smiling, Chen Yu muttered, “Heh, it seems my charm knows no bounds… Uh, where did I leave off just now? Fuck!”

After another 10 minutes had gone by, the plaza finally calmed down.

The participants of the bullet comment group, donation group, and hospital groups were annihilated. None of them were able to beat the locals.

However, even after the battle had ended, Chen Yu only managed to recollect 499 Fight Pillows.

“Where did the last one go?” Chen Yu asked Little Peach.

“I don’t know.”

“Have you guys seen it?” Chen Yu turned to look at the supervising police officer standing beside him.

“No.”

“Have you sealed the area?”

“We did.” Hesitantly, the supervising officer asked, “Should I have my team search the area again?”

“No. I have a way to find it.”

Removing the protective suit’s left glove, Chen Yu swiped his finger across his watch and located the last pillow’s position.

“Did you find it?” Little Peach asked.

“…Found it.”

“Where?”

“Under us…”

Lowering his head, Chen Yu looked at a manhole cover in front of him.

Plop!

The manhole cover suddenly lifted up, and the youth with the ID Under the Moon popped out of the manhole. After observing his surroundings, he said excitedly, “Aha! I’m the last person standing! I won, right?!”

“Y-Yes!”

“Yay! Awesome!” Under the Moon danced in joy. “A bunch of fools! Feel the fear of being ruled by wisdom! Awooo…”

Everyone present: “…”
