Chapter 165: The Biggest Scam in History
All the drones were shot down, and the debris of the electric snakes and flames crashed into the river, leaving only Superman and the Ghost still hanging in the air. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"How did you do that?" Superman looked at the ghost strangely and asked, "That sonic boom?" ”
"Tighten the muscles in your front to get an echo chamber, and you can do that." The ghost said lightly, paused, and changed his words, "Or rather, sooner or later, it can be done." Truth be told, you're just beginning to discover what you're capable of, and over time you'll find that you can do a lot more than you do now, a lot of wonderful things, a lot of scary things......"
"You mean, if you hadn't killed me by then." Superman added.
The ghost turned his head and glared at him with scarlet eyes, "You also saw it with your own eyes today, this world has already planned all kinds of ways to exclude you, and it is not a day or two that they study your weaknesses. Your enemies stand above all the governments of the world, on politics. One day you will cross a certain line, and then they will send me to kill you, and then I will have to do my duty. ”
He looked up at the sun hanging far in the sky and sighed, "I have so much to teach you, to tell you who you are and what you will become in the sun." ”
"There's another problem, Spirit." Superman asked solemnly, "Tell me, who the hell are you?" You're not a Kryptonian, but you're just as capable of absorbing solar energy as I am, and we have nearly identical abilities...... So where the hell are you from? ”
The ghost turned its back to him, silent for a long time.
Their conversation was interrupted by General Lane's contact.
"Wraith, are you there?" The general asked.
"Yes, General, I'm online." The ghost replied.
"It's 'Ascension.'" General Ryan said in a hurried tone, "The 'machine' has detected a new reaction about the 'Ascension', but we don't know what their goal is this time, I need you to find out." ”
"'Machine'?" Superman repeated.
"Every time the 'Ascension' makes a move, the technology in our base at the bottom of the salt lake reacts, and the code name of that base is 'Machine'." The Wraith explained, "We suspect that the technology used in Ascension may have something to do with ours. We have to hurry back to the base, the machine is more responsive to the signal than we are, and we may be able to track the location of the Ascension this time......"
"Nope." Superman smiled slightly, "You invited me to your house...... Now it's time for me to invite you to my house. ”
Nova Scotia, deep in the jungle.
It's really like in a science fiction movie - huge bases, dense jungles, evil organizations. The Ascension seemed to have really hidden their huge base in this dense forest, Eric and Revan followed behind a group of members of the Ascension, and when they were about to circle in this forest, this huge metal building finally appeared in front of them, the body of the semi-circular shell made it quite novel, but it didn't look coordinated in this forest.
Encountering the "Ascension" in the dense forest, Eric was about to start a war, but the other party offered a truce. Their leader offered to show them around his base and inform them of the truth about what he called "the greatest hoax in the history of mankind".
"It's almost okay now, right?" Eric followed the group into the building's composite gold gate and asked, "Who are you?" Where does your technology come from? As far as I know, there is no such advanced hacking technology on the planet. ”
"Yes, most people think so." The leader who led the way spoke, "But a few know the truth, and a few traitors to humanity, the most recent one, is Sam Lane, General Lane. ”
Sam Lane? Seems to have heard it somewhere......
Eric was taken aback.
Isn't that the dad of Superman's real girlfriend, Louise Lane?
"General Sam Lane?" Eric frowned, "I think it's understandable that you say he's a bastard, but a traitor? Are you sure we know the same person? ”
"Oh, he's a traitor." The leader said unceremoniously, "And these faces you see now - Linus, Banley, Jaylens, Rogers, they are all the biggest traitors in modern history, and they have all been in charge of one of the largest traitorous organizations, the 'Machine'. ”
As he spoke, the digital masks on his face kept switching, changing into different faces like a slideshow on a screen.
"The 'Machine' is a secret unit of the U.S. military, founded in 1938, after an alien race sent emissaries to make contact with Earth. The alien's spaceship was engraved with an equation that explained to the earthlings how to use the earth's native minerals to innovate technology. Since then, the Machines have used the ideas brought about by this equation to chart the way forward for this country, and indeed for this planet, and all the progress we have made in this century has been done according to their will. ”
The leader paused for a moment and said lightly: "I founded the 'Ascension Heaven' to correct all this and create a new path. ”
"Sounds like an interesting story." Eric asked rhetorically, "But how do I believe it's not from a science fiction novel?" ”
"The proof is my lineage."
The leader said, removing the digital mask and finally revealing his face. It was the face of a brown-haired young man, who looked no more than thirty years old.
"My name is Jonathan Rudolph, and my grandfather, William, was the founder of the 'machine.'" "Older age is a peculiar thing, and it makes a person confess all the regrets of his life in fewer and fewer moments of sobriety," he said. In his old age, he regretted his crimes against humanity, and now we want to get rid of that karma. ”
"Killing people or hacking into other people's technology?" Eric asked rhetorically.
"Nope." The leader paused in front of a door, "We're going to use the technology of that equation itself against themselves. ”
He typed the code in front of the door, and the alloy door opened dullly, a blinding blue light shining from behind it, like a sun hiding behind it.
But what is hidden inside is not the sun, but a mountain of crystal crystals. At the first sight of them, Eric was captivated by them, and there are no words to describe the beauty of this substance, and the holy blue glow of their clear bodies illuminates the room instead of light.
"We call it the 'Earth Stone', the essence of the earth." The leader explained, "This crystalline technology material comes from all Earth, but it is comparable to the achievements of the races that are best at it in the universe, and each of our previous attacks has proven its ability and the level of our use. And everything that has gone before is nothing more than exercises prepared for real combat. ”
Eric realized something was wrong: "What are you going to do?" ”
"Not preparation, Mr. Charlotte, we've done it." The leader said grimly, "We want to bring humanity back to the beginning of everything, and give humans a chance to climb and explore on their own, instead of pretending to be aliens......"
“...... I think we activated all the nuclear bombs on Earth a few minutes ago. ”
