Chapter 1083: Chapter 1082: What Does Los Angeles Have to Do with My New York?
Interpol’s internal message, of course, was not mentioned by Lin Wan at the dinner. She only told Lu Zheng on the way back after the meal.
"Goodness gracious!" freёweɓnovel.com
Lu Zheng exclaimed directly, "With the Lighthouse Country’s usual pattern, shouldn’t they be researching aliens? Why are they starting to explore historical mythology? And they even invited Indians to study Indian mythology. Aren’t they afraid the Feathered Serpent God will wipe them out first?"
Lin Wan chuckled and raised an eyebrow, "How do you know they’re not studying aliens?"
"Oh, really? There is?" Lu Zheng turned back, surprised.
"In fact, there’s always been an institution researching aliens. They’ve taken on this task, and the Abnormal Affairs Defense Attack and Intelligence Processing Bureau has also been assigned some related tasks."
Lin Wan explained, "Although there’s been no trace of alien spacecraft, considering the technology the other side has demonstrated in this incident, cloaking is a very reasonable thing, right?"
"Reasonable, very reasonable." Lu Zheng found it very logical, and curiously asked, "And then, any findings?"
Lin Wan shrugged, "Well, now you’re making it difficult for me. This is a top-secret from the Lighthouse Country, not something they would share with Interpol."
"Any reaction from other countries?" Lu Zheng asked.
"Not yet." Lin Wan shook her head, "After all, this happened in the Lighthouse Country, and people from other countries are still there, with their respective intelligence agencies handling all kinds of information."
"I see." Lu Zheng nodded and then asked, "Why do I feel like you’re not concerned at all?"
Lin Wan curiously asked, "Why should I care? If we’re not intentionally exposed, no matter how they investigate, they won’t find anything."
"But haven’t we already been exposed over there?"
"That’s because we live in Hai City. Exposure is just a matter of time." Lin Wan said, "And being exposed isn’t bad either. I don’t have to worry every day, and now the pressure is on their side."
Lu Zheng laughed heartily and continued, "Has Interpol got any other news?"
Lin Wan shook her head, "Information in Interpol’s database is generally not highly classified. I suspect the exposure of the Lighthouse Country’s three departments was deliberate.
However, this leads me to guess that the focus on mythology and legends is the least likely in the internal analyses of various countries."
"Why?"
"Because the more elite you are, the less likely you are to believe in things that seem like past imaginings. For example, did you really believe in the existence of the Supreme Lord Laojun before coming here?" Lin Wan asked.
Lu Zheng didn’t answer, as it was indeed difficult to respond.
"Following the usual reasoning, the biggest possibility is a privately owned lab with deep backgrounds that did an excellent job of keeping secrets, even more believable than aliens blended into Blue Star, isn’t it?" Lin Wan said.
Lu Zheng thought about it—a well-resourced laboratory accidentally researching this kind of self-combusting nanovirus, or aliens blending into Blue Star simultaneously locking one million people with high-tech weapons.
Seems indeed more reliable than a divine fire judgment by God.
Unless...
God or Michael revealed themselves!
Lin Wan smiled slightly, confidently saying, "That’s why those researching myths are just creating confusion and scamming funds. The real investigation remains hidden beneath the surface."
"Clap, clap, clap!"
"Brilliant!" Lu Zheng applauded and praised, "A very excellent analysis!"
"But..." Lu Zheng turned to a smile, "Lingxi and Qingyan seem to indeed be aliens to Blue Star..."
Lin Wan rolled her eyes, "I don’t think they’re aliens.
Have you ever seen aliens who play the Yaoqin better than the top folk music masters of Hua Country, or whose medical skills surpass the most famous old Chinese doctors in Hua Country?
Sister Ying even claims she’s not good at dancing. I think her ethnic dance could easily qualify her to teach at Beidu Dance Academy.
Tushan Celestial Fox, Peach Blossom Fairy, Phoenix Goddess, they are unquestionably mythological figures. If you reveal their identities, see if the people across the country will admit they’re aliens." freeweɓnovel.cøm
"Yeah, right!" Lu Zheng nodded in agreement. When he first crossed over, he blended into the life of Tonglin County very naturally, apart from worrying about living as an undocumented alien, there was no feeling of being on another planet.
Lin Wan said, "That’s why they got the investigation direction wrong from the start. I never mentioned it to you. If it wasn’t just brought up over dinner, I wouldn’t have said anything."
So now Lu Zheng had more questions and couldn’t help but ask, "Since that’s the case, why are they sending ’Holy Artifacts’ to the Lighthouse Country?"
Lu Zheng didn’t believe that things Lin Wan could analyze, those above couldn’t figure out.
"Doesn’t affect anything, it’s just adding to the chaos anyway. Who can guarantee a lab or alien won’t act under the guise of religion?" Lin Wan explained, "Moreover, I just mentioned the top elites, while the average people are actually more likely to believe in religion and myths."
"Makes sense, when you see it that way, the logic is clear." Lu Zheng nodded.
"So although no one suspects us, the investigations are actually not being relaxed, and given the power of such a weapon, the investigations won’t be relaxed for the foreseeable future either."
Lin Wan said, "Only as time goes on, there might not be as much uproar, and it won’t affect ordinary people’s lives, of course, as long as this situation doesn’t reoccur."
Lu Zheng understood, as societal trends are ever-changing and the world’s unsolved mysteries aren’t limited to just one. As long as it doesn’t affect his own life, no matter how hot the event, it will pass, only surviving as a topic of idle chatter over meals.
"So, has this matter on the surface already passed?" Lu Zheng asked.
"It’s over." Lin Wan nodded, "Even Los Angeles has returned to its former hustle and bustle, just with a bit more religious atmosphere, and the security has improved significantly as well."
At this point, Lin Wan couldn’t help but laugh, "Who would’ve thought a wink from Sister Lingxi could actually help turn around the security situation in Los Angeles."
"Killing ten thousand at once, even petty thieves died, who wouldn’t be afraid?" Lu Zheng said.
"The criminals in New York aren’t afraid. The crime rate there has increased by 28% over the past two months," Lin Wan said casually.
Lu Zheng was speechless, "How do you even know that?"
"It’s on the New York police department’s website, and Interpol’s network can access the internet," Lin Wan said.
"Aren’t they afraid?" Lu Zheng was very surprised and asked.
"Why should they be afraid?" Lin Wan turned back, saying obviously, "People died in Los Angeles, what’s it got to do with New York?"
