The public statement is just a waste of paper used to fool the public, and the three people in the office are all bright in their hearts at this moment, and they don't bother to mention it.

Because of this, in the face of Li Jie's rhetorical question, Sheila and Gates were silent at the same time, but their faces were already difficult to see. They knew very well in their hearts that although it was advertised that it was a terrorist attack caused by the superpowers using special aviation incendiary bombs, all the details showed that the actual situation was more than 108,000 miles away from this so-called statement.

Immediately after yesterday's incident, the area around Sunset Square was completely cordoned off by the federal government and military, and the troops and inspectors sent almost three feet into the ground, but no trace of the explosion residue could be found. With such a massive destruction, the entire Sunset Plaza was wiped out of Los Angeles, and there was no sign of a man-made weapon attack, and no trace identification was found.

The reports from the most elite technicians were all that the center of the explosion could not be found, and the radiation path could not be distinguished.

It is important to know that any explosion should have a central point and then radiate or spread directionally outward from the center. And the scene in Los Angeles...... It's as if something beyond the knowledge of the darkness has wiped out the area.

Even if there really is a so-called special incendiary bomb, it is definitely beyond the level of technology known to mankind.

What's more, although most of the people in the core area are all missing, and even the bones cannot be found, judging from the retrospective footage captured by some surveillance cameras, as well as the testimony of a few peripheral police officers and eyewitnesses who escaped by chance, the huge stone statues and purple terrifying plants floating all over the sky. It's definitely not the babbling of some people after being scared silly, but it's real.

This is also the reason why the entire core team of the White House had to unanimously decide to hide the truth from the outside world after discussing it overnight. If the general public is informed of the existence of such monsters. The consequences are unimaginable, and the situation, which is already spiraling out of control, will only become more chaotic and will not help the government at all.

However, looking at Li Jie's still calm expression, the two of them couldn't help but have some complicated emotions in their hearts, like anger, messy, closer to the fear of the unknown.

"Peng!"

Gates slammed his fist into the couch beside him, his face showing unquenchable excitement. Almost gritted his teeth, he said:

"30,000 people!! At least 30,000 people disappeared in Los Angeles yesterday, and you, the initiator, are sitting here intact! As if nothing had happened, I doubt you're an alien! ”

Hear this. Li Jie looked back and forth between Sheila, whose face was gloomy and uncertain, and Gates, who was angry, and said calmly:

"Mr. Minister, first of all, you are wrong, I am the one who is there to stop and deal with the gang of saboteurs. And not the so-called initiators. Secondly. Do you believe that there are higher species other than humans? ”

"Bruce?!"

At this time, even Sheila finally couldn't sit still, so she stood up in shock and took a few steps back, as if the young man in front of her who was sitting calmly had turned into an ancient monster-like existence. The meaning faintly revealed from the other party's words made her have to bring up the unbelievable speculation in her heart again!

Gates's face changed even more, he didn't know what to think of Li Jie's words, and he couldn't help but want to call the agents and emergency response teams arranged outside to rush in.

In fact, in the minds of Gates stubbornly believed. If it weren't for Lee's special status and Sheila's strong opposition, he would never have had the opportunity to talk quietly in the White House office like he is now. I am afraid that he has already been escorted directly to the military's interrogation room by a large group of people.

"Calm down, Your Excellency, Mr. Minister. I'm calm because excitement doesn't solve anything, and besides, I seem to have malicious intentions towards the two of you? ”

Fortunately, Li Jie still looks calm and waveless, so as not to irritate them, otherwise I am afraid that any unexpected move by him will make the nervous two lose control.

Sheila, who stood up, showed the powerful heart of the first female president in the history of the United States at this time, her face slowly calmed down, and she sat back down, looking at Li Jie in front of her with a strange look, as if she was sitting in front of a creature that she had never seen before.

If it were another person, I was afraid that he would see him fidgeting, but fortunately, Li Jie's heart was strong enough.

"Go on, Bruce."

In fact, as the investigation of last night's incident deepened, Gates' first reaction was to take coercive measures against Li Jie, and he was always vigilant against this mysterious young man, but he couldn't catch any substantive handles, and the previous investigation of the Wall Street incident also stopped at the existence of "P" drugs.

After preparing to implement the "P" potion plan, Li Jie had already prepared to terminate the production of the corona, and instead sold the formula to several large armed groups at home and abroad through covert means, completely making this non-human modified potion a private thing, and could no longer find any traces related to the corona.

Because of this, Gates's proposal was ultimately vetoed by Sheila, who had been thinking about it for a long time. Not to mention that she and Li Kit have always worked very happily, and they have also taken advantage of this to ascend to the presidency, which is a strong alliance. More importantly, in the process of contact between the two parties, she clearly felt the young man's rational and mechanical way of thinking.

Such a person, perhaps, may be selfish, but in no way like a saboteur for no reason. As for the selfish desires of the heart and some less than bright means, which person in a high position will lack?

Especially after talking to Li Jie on the phone for the first time, the calm attitude of the other party made Sheila more willing to trust her own judgment.

The most important point is that with the inhuman power displayed by Li Jie, how can he be controlled?

"Thank you for your trust, Your Excellency." Li Jie turned his head in satisfaction and looked at Gates who was standing opposite him with a changed expression. "Mr. Minister, isn't my friendly and cooperative attitude towards the military enough to restrain your hostility a little and proceed with the conversation sensibly?"

Gates snorted, but didn't say anything. Corona's request for the military to provide artificial genomes and power armor supplies. It can be called responsive and completely open, not only allowing military technicians to settle in, but also taking the initiative to put forward many rationalization proposals. It made him confident in the establishment of an exclusive power armored unit, especially after personally observing the actual effect of the test detachment.

"So, back to my question, do you think there are any higher species other than humans?"

After the two regained their composure, Li Jie repeated the question he had asked earlier.

And this time, both Sheila and Gates looked extremely ugly. But they can still keep calm and think, even if similar questions have already turned in their minds countless times, it is still difficult for them to come up with a conclusive conclusion.

Even though there are countless inexplicable events. Even if there are countless legends that have been passed down by human beings for thousands of years, it is probably not too easy to truly believe in the existence of inhuman intelligent creatures.

"I guess you already have the answer in mind, yes. I'm not human. ”

Seeing that both of them had changed their faces. But he did not open his mouth to answer. Li Jie didn't mean to hide it, he directly broke the silence and took the initiative to give a conclusion.

The decision to make a limited disclosure to a certain extent and within a certain range was the result of his careful consideration. The two powerful controllers are unscrupulously waging an all-out war with themselves in the downtown area, and a message has been conveyed behind them that is not optimistic:

Some powerful beings are running out of patience, or rather think the time is ripe to get out of the shadows.

This is definitely not good news for my plan, but it is a matter of course. It's just a matter of time.

Although this is more of a temptation, it is more than it seems. It contains the mind of forcing his true identity to human beings.

It is only a matter of time, then, to take other measures further and push oneself against humanity.

Rather than waiting for these people to reach out from the shadows step by step, they rushed to deal with it themselves. It is better to turn passive into active, and use Sheila as a breakthrough to conduct formal communication.

If at the beginning, I suddenly appeared in front of them and revealed my identity, of course, I would only encounter strong resistance and even unpredictable consequences and conflicts. But after such a long period of foreshadowing, I believe that the top leaders of these human beings have definitely had a considerable degree of psychological preparation.

Sheila's acceptance of her own opinion and her invitation to the White House alone for talks has already made part of her attitude clear.

Sure enough, after hearing him say that word, although the two of them had extremely wonderful expressions, they still didn't make any additional moves, and they didn't even mean to call the Secret Service agents.

It's just that Li Jie's voice is very soft, but when he hears Sheila and Gates, it is like thunder in their ears, and they don't know how to deal with it.

Imagine what you would think of a person in real life who told you very seriously that he was not human.

Of course, the people in this room are not ordinary people, and the information they are exposed to is far more detailed than that of the general public, and because of this, Sheila and Gates are completely shocked, and their minds are chaotic and thinking.

After a long time, Sheila forced herself to calm down and said with indescribable emotion:

"Are you sure you understand what you're talking about? Bruce. ”

Sometimes, people are like that. When they perceive something strange about their kind, they become suspicious and suspicious. However, when Li Jie came out so calmly and told them that he was indeed not human, Gates and Sheila were a little hesitant to believe it. If it weren't for a series of things as a foreshadowing, they would probably only think that the person in front of them was crazy.

"I understand very well, but what about you?" Li Jie asked calmly, revealing a smile that was even more dazzling than that of a normal human. "Actually, you don't have to be too nervous, superpowers, new humans, or beings like me are essentially creatures of a higher level of evolution."

He picked up the coffee brewed in front of him, stood up, and slowly paced the office of the first person in the United States.

"In human terms, it's more important to see if we have the same needs, right?"

Sheila, who had gone through the initial shock, suspicion and uneasiness, slowly regained her composure, and looked at the self-proclaimed non-human young man, who had always been her supporter, Bruce? Lee, then spit out two words:

"Are we?"

Li Jie turned around and smiled.

"In 1492, a man named Christopher? The Italian of Christopher Columbus, with three sailing ships and 87 sailors, crossed the Atlantic Ocean for the first time and set foot on the New World, naming the island at his feet San Salvador (Savior), thus connecting two continents that had never crossed paths. From that year onwards, Spain established a foothold on the Caribbean and American coasts and advanced inland, followed by Portugal, the Netherlands, France, and the United Kingdom. When the Spaniards discovered that the backward civilizations of the New World were powerless to resist the Europeans, what was originally an expedition evolved into military conquest. Colonization, massacres, expulsions, slave trade followed......"

Every time Li Jie said a word, Sheila and Gates' faces became ugly. As he said this, he paused, then stared at the two in front of him:

"History is always strikingly similar, isn't it?"

Sheila and Gates certainly understood what Li Jie meant, and what he said was completely the origin of today's American continent, a naked colonial history. Then, at this time, Li Jie said it, undoubtedly reminding them that the current situation is the same as the wild and uncivilized land of the Americas that Europe colonized at the beginning.

"Since you are going to talk about history, then don't forget that in the end the Europeans were driven back by us, and this is what we have today."

Gates was-for-tat, and what he was talking about was, of course, the War of Independence in 1775 as a colony of the thirteen North American states, which eventually forced Britain to recognize the independence of the United States.

Without waiting for Li Jie to answer, he sneered again:

"And, I doubt you have what it takes to compete with humans."

Li Jie didn't get angry because of this, he just shook his head lightly:

"I thought you were an honest man, Mr. Minister. Without my presence, would you have realized that an invisible but deadlier colonial war had already begun? Do you realize that a more evolved group of higher beings have emerged into this world? Will you realize that life alone can cause such terrible destructive power? By the time you realize this, I'm afraid it's too late. Even now, you can't tell the difference between the two. ”

"Imagine that your family, your colleagues, your close friends, your military, and even your commanders and soldiers are all not reliable, what do you do against my kind? The earth is like a fragile and defenseless body, and they are cancer cells that are thousands, thousands of times more powerful than normal cells, and they have spread all over the body earlier, and you have no chance of winning.
