Chapter 178: Proclamation to the World

Shen He stood on the high platform and looked at the dense shots below.

Behind those shots, stands the whole world.

This was the beginning of the Chaldeans truly standing on the world stage.

"Everyone."

Shen He opened his mouth, and the audience fell silent for a moment, and everyone raised their heads to look at him.

"The Chaldeans are indeed an organization that does not belong to this world."

Suddenly—

All the reporters roared to their feet, flashing lights flickering through the space.

There have been speculations about the truth of the Chaldea before, and since the advent of Asgard, speculation that the Chaldea is also from an extraterrestrial state has been high.

But now it has been truly confirmed by Shen He.

An alien force that has long been on Earth, integrated into Earth, and even opened a company on Earth.

Could this represent the beginning of a new era?

"Be quiet for now."

Shen He raised his hand and pressed it, and his voice sounded directly in everyone's ears.

The excited reporters gradually sat back.

The news at the beginning was so exciting, and they were looking forward to this press conference more and more.

"Although the Chaldeans do not belong to this world, our founders are undoubtedly human beings, and the leaders of each Chaldeans, including myself, are also human beings, so the purpose of our organization, the purpose of its establishment, as we said at the beginning, is to preserve the whole of human civilization, and you may call us by our official name, the Institution for the Survival of Human Reason."

"We believe, and firmly believe, that humanity has the brightest potential in the entire interstellar universe."

The scene was once again a sensation.

The news revealed in this paragraph has to be said to make these reporters excited.

It should be said that it is not only them, but also people all over the world who are paying attention here.

What is people's first reaction to an unknown extraterrestrial civilization?

Fear, of course.

It's not just because of the unknown, the other party alone can come over, but humans can't go over, and this alone is enough to show the difference in strength between the two.

Coupled with the long-term rendering of various movies, as well as the powerful Thor and the murderous Loki, it is really difficult for people to have a good impression of aliens.

And now, an alien organization like the Chaldeans, led by humans, is equivalent to telling them that humanity has already gone out and is just as powerful.

The members of the World Security Council, who are also concerned about this, are nervous.

"They're bringing themselves closer to humanity."

"That's right, whether it's true or not, they're defining themselves as pioneers of humanity stepping foot on the planet."

"Let's read on for now."

There are a lot of smart people in the world, very many, and Shen He just opened his mouth to say a paragraph, and someone saw his purpose.

The identity of outsiders is susceptible to exclusion.

But the status of a pioneer will be admired.

Shen He gave some time for people to take a break, and then continued:

"The Human Survival Guarantee Agency, as literally speaking, the sole purpose of our organization is to ensure the survival, development and future of human civilization, but for a long time, we have rarely interfered in human activities, and even rarely appeared in front of people, why?"

yes, why?

This is the idea of a lot of smart people, and it is also the fastest vulnerability they find the fastest.

If the Chaldeans were meant to protect humanity, then why didn't they leave their legend on earth like Asgard?

"That would also be one of the purposes of the Chaldeans." Shen He did not let people speculate, he gave the answer, "Human beings are extremely complex creatures, we are lonely at the same time, we are also closely connected with other people, we will be happy, we will be angry, we will be sad, we will hurt others, we will even destroy ourselves, we will do evil, we will do good, but because of this, we have all kinds of paths, there are all kinds of possibilities, and the Chaldeans believe that this is an important part of human potential." ”

The sound of the scene gradually fell silent.

Everyone was listening to Shen He's voice, and even the journalists who pursued news began to think.

"The so-called human reason contains desire and destruction, evil and suffering." Shen He gave a clear explanation of the purpose of the Chaldeans, "These are also part of our protection, so we did not appear when people fell behind, and we did not appear when people killed each other, all we did was observe, record, predict, and at the same time avoid as much as possible the crisis that would make humanity extinct - until human civilization entered the modern era." ”

"We are not the only guardian of the earth and human civilization, but after entering the modern era, more and more crises have emerged."

"We had to intervene, so we're here."

This set of rhetoric, whether people believe it or not, at least has no obvious flaws.

From the very beginning, Shen He's statement to everyone was that Chaldea had maintained its status as an observer for a long time.

It was not until the observation of the great crisis that he became an intervener.

Of course, Shen He has no intention of throwing out the concept of the multiverse right now.

This is something that needs to be kept in the knees of a few, after all, something needs to distinguish the Chaldeans from guardians like Asgard and show its uniqueness.

After a brief silence, the reporters below began to scramble to raise their hands, and even directly asked their questions out loud.

For a while, the scene was noisy.

This is also a common problem in the country to hold press conferences, with too much emphasis on freedom and a lack of order.

"Please follow the order." Joan of Arc, who was standing beside Shen He, suddenly spoke.

The voice was not loud, but the invisible majesty swept the audience in an instant.

Don't think that Joan of Arc has a good personality and no majesty.

After all, it is a saintess holding a battlefield flag, and it is still terrifying to be angry, coupled with the small use of magic power, it is enough to deter a group of ordinary people.

This is also the reason why Shen He brought her up.

"The lady in the blue dress." Shen He raised his hand and gestured.

The female reporter who was named was a little excited and nervous.

She stood up, took a breath, and then asked the question everyone wanted to ask.

"Mr. Shen, I would like to ask, what evidence does Mr. have to prove everything you said?"

A journalist who does not doubt is not a good journalist.

Verbal statements are never as convincing as what is actually shown.

In other words, they need bigger revelations.

Shen He looked at the reporter, then at the others, and finally asked:

"What evidence do you need, and what do we need to prove? Prove if we are really an alien force, or prove if we are really guarding the world? ”

"This ......," the female journalist was also decisive, "proves that we all need it." ”

"Huh." Shen He chuckled twice, "Of course there is evidence, Iron Man Tony has seen it, Captain America Steve has also seen it, and even a lot of people in this world know about it, but do you think why we are holding this press conference?" Is it to tell you about his merits, or to prove to you who he is? No, we're declaring—"

Shen He's voice rose in vain.

"Proclaiming our identity, proclaiming our will, the purpose of the Chaldeans for countless years, does not need to be proved, and how can it be easily changed."

Chaldeans, there is no need to prove anything to ordinary people at all.

Whether it is saving the world or protecting mankind, these are the purposes of the Chaldeans, whether others believe it or not, support it or not, the Chaldeans will continue to do it in their own way.

As Shen He said, this is a declaration, not a proof.

The reporters at the scene seemed to be forced by his momentum and were a little overwhelmed.

But when they go back, or when the whole society begins to analyze this press conference and analyze Shen He's words, they will soon find out a little.

Protecting human reason does not mean that the Chaldeans must be on the side of the good order, nor does it mean that they will be bound by people's moral criticism.

Because Shen He just said that the human principles they guard also include evil and chaos.

In the face of war and death, the Chaldeans could stand idly by.

In the face of doubts and condemnation, the Chaldeans could also ignore it.

It may take a while for people to understand, but for the members of the World Security Council, it is easy to understand what Shen He means.

This is a warning to them.

Warn them of the means they use in the shadows to show that they will not be threatened by public opinion.

In the conference room of the World Security Council, there was silence for a long time before the first voice appeared.

"They're far more dangerous than Asgard."

"Agree, we can't easily provoke their anger until we have gained enough strength."

"At the very least, you can't make obvious provocations."

"Let the plan be put back for now, but we still have something to fear them."

"Seconded."

By danger, they do not mean that the Chaldeans are dangerous to the world, but that they are dangerous to them.

Obviously, the Chaldeans may not be able to destroy the world, but they also don't mind the death of some human beings, even if it is a world war.

And the "jealousy" in their mouths -

-- The World Security Council also has the ability to destroy the world.

Shen He, on the other side, was still continuing his press conference, perhaps sensing that what he said before was too heavy, his tone became more relaxed.

"To get back to the point, in addition to declaring the identity and purpose of the Chaldeans, I believe that you are all very concerned about the problems of Loki." Shen He shifted the subject to Loki, "Loki is in our hands, the interrogation about him is almost over, the good news is that we are sure that the number of people he controls is far less than three thousand, this is nothing more than a 'prank of the evil gods', the bad news is that we haven't found out what exactly he is planning." ”

Not many people at the scene seemed to show much interest in Shen He's words.

After all, compared to the information just conveyed, who Loki handed over seemed less important.

Shen He didn't care either, because his next words were to the World Security Council.

"However, due to Loki's status as Prince of Asgard, we can't detain him for too long, otherwise it will easily cause interstellar strife, but fortunately, we have reached an agreement with the prince of Asgard, Thor, on this issue, and he agrees that we will discuss with the Earth regime on behalf of Asgard how to deal with Loki's crimes."

"My personal opinion is that, given the danger of Loki, it would be better to leave it in Chaldea throughout the discussion."

"But this has nothing to do with the Chaldean principle."

"Friends who know me well know that I am a very kind person when it comes to matters that do not involve principles."

At this point, everything that should be said has been said, and Shen He has no intention of letting the reporters continue to ask questions, and walks off the stage directly with Joan of Arc.

Then there's the guy from the virtual reality company who takes over.

Now the virtual reality company, its important members have basically been replaced by S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, and Shen He believes in their abilities.

The press conference on this side is over, and the meeting of the World Security Council on the other side has just begun.

"He's building momentum for Fury."

"It may also be Coulson's demagogy, the information shows that Shen He trusts Coulson very much, and basically hands it over to him along with the virtual reality company."

"And Tony Stark, Steve Rogers, Natasha Romanoff."

"Let Fury bring Loki back, they should be under pressure from Asgard and want to hand over Loki's trouble, we shouldn't use public opinion."

"Give Fury what he wants, we need more information."

The World Security Council is also very clear that this press conference is actually a warning to them, but it is not without results, at least from the final results, it can be seen that Fury's influence on Shen He is quite deep, and Asgard can also bring some pressure to the Chaldeans, these are all points that can be used.

As long as it has not reached the point of no return, they will not be willing to come into direct conflict with the Chaldeans.

Meanwhile.

On the network of the whole world, the information brought by this press conference is fermenting step by step.

Words such as "Chaldean", "Institution for the Survival of Human Reason", "Extraterrestrial Forces" and so on have become hot spots that can be seen everywhere on the Internet.

Almost everyone is talking about this, and after the mastermind behind the previous push for public opinion began to retreat, virtual reality company PR began to exert force.

The first is the video of the Guardians helping others.

There are punishments for crimes, there are life-saving, there are helping people, when these videos are cut one by one and equipped with BGM, people's kindness will be moved.

Before you know it, the Guardians have really done a lot.

These young people, led by Captain America, travel from city to city, providing free help to people.

Even in the face of inexplicable infamy, they still do.

As Shen He said at the press conference.

Humans can be angry, they can do evil, they can have all kinds of bad things, but the Chaldeans see these as part of their guardianship, and no matter how they are treated, they will always do what they think is right.

Guilt, uneasiness, apology, when this kind of public opinion begins to form, those who have been mobilized by public opinion and hold on to malice will be mobilized by public opinion again.

Something is happening.

But. Before Shen He could see the reversal of public opinion, he saw a person first.

Fury, just the day after the release, arrived at the virtual reality company, wearing his trademark big black trench coat and accompanied by two agents in black suits and sunglasses.
