Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

Chapter 657: 657
 

Summoned in the Sea

Kant took the phone from Little Man’s confused and worried eyes.

“Hello? Uncle Wang.”

“Where did you go before?” Wang Yongzhi’s voice rang out. The higher-ups have been contacting you. My phone is about to explode! Did something happen?”

“Huh?”Kant was confused. What is it?”

“.. Forget it, I’ll let them talk to you. Remember to pick up the phone.”

“Oh.”

Kant handed the phone back to Xiao Man.” What’s wrong?” Xiao Man asked curiously.

Kant shrugged.” I don’t know. Maybe there’s a special point.”

“Oh, now that you mention it, I remember. I forgot to ask you before.”

” Is there a mysterious organization in this world?” Xiao Man looked expectant. Freemasons, Illume-union, Black Clothes Organization, Galadi, and so on.”

” Why do you have such thoughts?” Kant squinted.

“Aren’t there a lot of them in books and movies? And there’s a lot of information…”

” In fact, when I was in Africa, a foreign friend of mine told me that there is a large-scale mysterious society in China with a long history. It has participated in and experienced many major events in China’s history. It has not even disappeared yet,” Kant said seriously.

“Really?” Xiao Man asked in surprise.

” He swore that it was true,” Kant said.” He said that this mysterious society has a long history and has maintained a close relationship with the supreme rulers of the past dynasties.”

Xiao Man revealed an excited expression.

” The supreme leader of that society hides among the people with an extremely ordinary identity and status, but he can freely enter the palace of the country’s supreme ruler and share the most noble food with the noble emperor. When the country is facing war, this organization will step forward and fight bloody battles with foreign enemies.”

” They have contributed a lot to the Chinese civilization. In fact, an extremely famous dynasty in Chinese history was founded by a member of this society…”

Little Man was completely shocked.” Awesome, awesome, awesome. Really? That powerful?”

Kant nodded.” That’s right. It’s said that every generation of leaders of the mysterious society has inherited a powerful mysterious power. The name of this power contains a profound symbolic meaning. My foreign friend interpreted it as a power that can threaten and supervise the emperor.”

“F * ck, f * ck, f * ck, protecting China and monitoring the imperial power. What’s his name?”

” It’s called ‘Taming a Giant Dragon with 28 Slaps,'” Kant answered seriously.

This name…

“Twenty Eight Dragon Subduing Palms?”Xiao Man was stunned for a moment before jumping up and down. Isn’t this the f * cking Beggar’s Sect?”

“Yeah,” Kant said, trying to stifle his laughter.

The girl immediately said angrily,”Fine!” Are you kidding me?”

Kant replied with a straight face,” That’s not true. My foreign friend told me personally that it’s true. It was a famous Chinese author named ‘Louis-Cha’who revealed information about this mysterious society with his national best-selling novel. The other party has unparalleled influence and reputation among the Chinese people. He definitely wouldn’t make up rumors out of thin air. This society is also widely available in Chinese games, television dramas, and movies…”

“You’re playing with me again!” Xiao Man was so angry that she was about to tear his mouth apart.

Kant chuckled. There were definitely some foreign secret organizations and societies, but to think that they could secretly manipulate the entire world, they were more or less…Hey! Don’t use your nails!”

At this moment, a new call finally came in.

Kant gestured for the indignant Xiaoman to be quiet. He held her hand and pulled her out of the neighborhood. It was already seven or eight o’clock. The elderly who had gone home for their morning exercise had already returned. The students who were on vacation were still sleeping. The adults were rushing to work. Only they were the most leisurely.

“Hello?” Kant answered the call.

The person who called him was still Kant’s special United Front Work Commissioner, Miss Qin Mengjin from the United Front Work Department. Her gentle and capable voice sounded.” Mr. Kant, is it convenient for you to answer the phone?”

Kant glanced at Little Man.” It’s convenient. I was just about to have breakfast. What’s the matter?”

Sister Qin was silent for a moment before she asked in a natural tone,”I have a question to ask you. Are you in China now?” May I ask where you were earlier?”

– Coming.

Good heavens, it was actually a straight ball.

“I’m here…”

” Yes?” Kant answered instinctively.” What’s the matter?” he asked. Why do you want to know this?”

Somewhere in the Western Hills of the Imperial Capital, in a conference room that had activated the highest security measures, Qin Mengjin sat at the table. In front of him were eight pages of paper that were filled with words and notes. Beside him, a few soldiers with serious eyes and experienced expressions were listening seriously with earphones. On the other side of the conference table, a few middle-aged men with stars on their shoulders had different expressions. This conversation was also transmitted to the sea in real time.

After a brief exchange of glances and listening to the instructions from the earpiece, a lieutenant colonel beside Qin Mengjin gently pointed at a line of text.

Just do it directly.

Miss Qin nodded slightly to show that she understood. A drop of sweat fell from her smooth forehead. On the other side, a female soldier carefully wiped it off with a handkerchief and gave her an encouraging look.

This time, it was an urgent mission. In order to let her understand the situation so that she could better complete the mission, after signing a new confidentiality agreement, Qin Mengjin was authorized to read a report.

What happened less than an hour ago was enough to cause a huge wave on the entire Earth.

And the target she was ordered to fight against had a slight possibility of possessing nearly ten million tons of unfused nuclear power…For this, the Republic had to confirm some things.

Even if it was the lowest level.

The seasoned and well-trained soldier was calm and collected. His tone was calm.” It’s like this, Mr. Kant. In the past twelve hours, we tried to contact you, but we couldn’t. Considering that you bought a large number of military explosives and mines in the country, we are very curious about what you are doing.”

Kant said lazily,” What I did had nothing to do with the weapons I bought from the country. Those things are still lying in Moani’s warehouse. Don’t worry. I’m a law-abiding citizen. I won’t do anything rash…”

The lieutenant colonel pointed at a line of words on another piece of paper.

“Of course we believe you, but we can’t contact you all day. After all, it’s a little…” Qin Mengjin smiled.

“Miss Qin Mengjin.”

Kant’s voice came from the other end of the earpiece. It was calm and indifferent.” There are many secrets on Earth. I have many secrets too. You have many secrets too. We all have many secrets that we don’t want to share with outsiders. I also have my personal privacy that I don’t want others to disturb. I love my country and am willing to do everything I can for it. However, I’m not a soldier, nor am I part of the system. Trading with the country is mutually beneficial.”

“Therefore, from any perspective, I am not obliged to stand at attention all the time, keep the communication open, or answer the calls from the capital by name, am I right?”

Qin Mengjin’s expression was slightly flustered. The soldiers who were listening to this conversation frowned. They exchanged looks and typed silently on the keyboard.

“It doesn’t look like it.”

“Your tone is a little impatient. It’s very natural.”

” If you’re guilty, you won’t emphasize any secrets or personal privacy. Instead, you’ll be more honest and provide evidence of your alibi and cooperate with our questioning…I can’t see any flaws now.”

“But we can’t rule out the possibility that he did it on purpose.”

“I can’t deduce anything from the sound alone…Even human behavior and other academic theories do not apply to him. The other party is a powerful ability user. We can’t rule out that he has a way to control his tone, heartbeat, blood flow, and facial muscle movement. It’s very troublesome.”

The generals sitting at the other end of the conference table looked at each other.

“Since there’s no way to resist it, let’s treat it with sincerity…” The old man with three gold stars on his shoulder said slowly,” In the end, it’s just a slight possibility. Besides, we still have to rely on him, don’t we?”

Everyone was silent.

The old man stood up and walked to Qin Mengjin’s side. Miss Qin immediately stood up and took off her earphones. The Chinese general said calmly,” Is this Mr. Kang?”

The voice of the person he was talking to was ridiculously young, not much louder than his grandson’s.

“It’s me. You are?”

” A soldier, an old party member, and a public servant. My job is to be responsible for the construction of the armed forces of the Republic…” The old man smiled and said,” My name is…”

His self-introduction was drowned out by Kant’s shouts.” Hey, hey, no sugar, no sugar. You’re new here, right? I want something salty and some chili oil…”

“Heresy!”A girl snorted.

A moment later, Kant’s laughter rang out again.” Hello, uncle. Hello, uncle. I’m sorry. The breakfast shop made a mistake just now.” I often see you on TV! You’ve worked hard! Salute the soldiers!”

The old man smiled.” It’s not hard, it’s not hard at all. I’m serving the country and you guys. Why, did you just have breakfast? Will I disturb you if I talk to you now?”

“What are you saying?” Kant’s voice was clear and crisp.” It must be something important for you to talk to me in person so early in the morning. I’m sure it’s not a bother. Please tell me. I’ve been taking care of the country recently, and I’ve always wanted to repay it. Is there anything I can do for the country?”

Qin Mengjin, who had retreated to the side and listened to the conversation with her colleagues, secretly rolled her eyes.

“Good, good. Those experts and professors only know how to make a fuss. I think this generation of young people is also very good. They talk about the big picture and have the spirit of dedication.” The old man subconsciously praised,”Kang Xian…” Hai, I call you Mr. Kang, which is a little too distant. I’ll call you Kang Kang, which is a little too much of a leader. Calling you little friend Kant is a little disrespectful. I can’t think of how to call you right now, haha.”

This was supposed to be a conversation technique to improve their relationship and get closer to each other. However, Kant, who was on the other end of the phone, did not even think about it. He said casually,” Do you even need to think about it, Comrade Kant?”

The soldiers in the meeting room were stunned when they heard that.

The old man was also stunned for a moment. A complicated expression appeared on his face.” I thought the young people in your society didn’t like this title anymore…”

“I’ve always liked it, comrade.” Kant replied,” It’s just that I don’t know when the meaning of this word changed. It used to be a bright and beautiful title that tied together the honor and aspirations of the masses, but it has become a taboo that people avoid. It has a new meaning that has been transmitted from the outside world…To be honest, I don’t think it was an accident, but more like a malicious conspiracy.”

The old man said softly,”I see…” Very good, very good, Comrade Kant.”

As an old man who was over 60 years old, his youth was the turbulent, magnificent and beautiful last century. Although the new era had arrived, the country had gradually become rich and powerful, and many things had become very good, many of the beautiful things in his memories had already passed away…He missed it dearly.

Now that he was not wearing his military uniform and walking on the streets, no matter where he went, he could not hear a single word of comrade.

Unknowingly, the distance between him and Kant had shortened significantly, and their relationship had improved.

What a good child.

A child with such a good mind and a good heart would not do such a big thing.

” Then, Comrade Kant.” His expression turned serious.” Please promise that you will be the only one who can hear what I’m about to say and that you won’t tell anyone. Can you do that?”

Kant was silent for a moment.” Wait a moment. I’ll go outside. Please speak.”

The old man took a deep breath.” An hour ago, a supernatural force was suspected to have stolen two of the M Nation’s thermonium warheads. One was 300,000 tons, and the other was 9 million tons.”

Kant exclaimed in shock. What’s going on?”

The intelligence agents looked at each other, but there were still no flaws.

“A nuclear warhead can be stolen?” An excited voice rang in everyone’s ears.” How did you steal it?”

“..”

Why did it sound so subtle?

The old man replied,” It wasn’t stolen from the nuclear arsenal. The other party must have created some kind of huge illusion. After taking the conventional attacks of the four armies of the M Nation, they forced the commander of the M Nation to launch two nuclear weapons. When the second W53 nuclear bomb hit, the illusion disappeared together with it.”

” No nuclear explosion detected. Radiation, thermal radiation, dust, debris…There’s nothing.”

” Therefore, we highly suspect that the nuclear warhead was cheated.

” Swindled?” Kant asked. It sounds like…”

He became silent.

“So the country suspects that I did it?” A cold voice sounded after a moment.

The old man said,” Yes, Comrade Kant, I’ll be honest with you. We treat you with sincerity. This is the country’s consistent policy of interacting with you. You’re a wise and intelligent child, so you should be able to understand the country’s difficulties. After all, to be able to deceive a nuclear bomb with illusions is very similar to some kind of spatial teleportation power. As you know, you’ve already demonstrated this ability more than once. We do have our doubts.”

” We are willing to believe you, but the country is responsible for the peace of more than a billion people and the world. This is about nuclear weapons, and it’s a 9-megaton hydrogen bomb. It’s enough to cause a serious disaster in any region of the world. Even if there’s a small possibility, we can’t be careless.”

“We apologize to you, but we still have to consider any possibility,” the general of the Republic said calmly.

Kant was silent for a moment.” I understand,” he said slowly.” But that thing is useless to me.”

” We all believe in you, Comrade Kant, but we’re just afraid that you’ll remember the past when we were bullied by the M Nation. If you’re unhappy, you’ll go to them and cause trouble…It’s not impossible.”

The old man smiled.” When I was young, I wanted to swim across the Pacific Ocean with a steel gun on my back and teach the American Empire’s ambitious wolf a lesson. But I only thought about it at that time. You’re amazing now. You can really do it.”

Kant smiled.” It really wasn’t me. Don’t worry. If I really wanted to do something, I wouldn’t have needed a nuclear bomb. That thing’s collateral damage is too high. No matter where it’s used, the ones who suffer the most are the civilians. After all, nuclear bombs are weapons of mass destruction, and I’m best at high-precision strikes. There’s no use for nuclear bombs.”

“That’s true…Sigh, I’m not afraid that you’ll laugh at me, Comrade Kant. I’d rather you did it.”

The general sighed.” If you did it, we would believe that you had a legitimate reason, or that you were angry. We’re comrades, after all. Do your work, have a good chat, think of a better way, and cover it up. Then, it will be resolved…” If you didn’t do it, then this matter is too serious.”

This meant that there was an individual or even an organization with powerful supernatural powers that the countries did not know about. They had carefully planned this Sun Stealing Operation and stolen the supreme martial arts that humans possessed.

They did not know who the other party was, what their goal was, or where they would use the nuclear warhead.

The old man said helplessly,” I’m not afraid to let you know that we’ve already activated the highest-level nuclear response plan. Hai Li is having a meeting with the heads of various countries to discuss it. Everyone is on standby and has agreed to exercise restraint. It would be a lie to say that we’re not panicking. We’re all afraid of which country this nuclear bomb will hit…No matter where it explodes, it’s not what we want to see.”

Kant’s voice turned serious.” You’re saying that it’s possible for us to…”

” It’s not impossible. That’s why we’re both afraid and angry. It’s just like back in the 1950s and 1960s, when the country didn’t have nuclear weapons yet, but the United States did. They often threatened to use them, but they fell out with the big brother of the Soviet Union. The nuclear bomb seemed to be falling at any time, as if it would hit anywhere…And we can only wait for it to strike down and then deal with it.”

The general’s voice was filled with helplessness and a sigh.

Kant was silent for a moment. He then said in a low voice,” What can I do? What I mean is, if their target is us, I will do everything I can to make them pay with their blood. But compared to revenge, I want to be more cautious.”

The intelligence advisors looked at each other.

The soundless keyboard typed rapidly.

” If he did it, he would subconsciously agree that the nuclear bomb would not be dropped on his own country. He would be very relaxed when talking about this threat, and would not be as serious and worried as he is now…I don’t think it’s him.”

“Agreed.”

“Agreed.”

The old man said,”The radars have all been turned on. The relevant troops have already made all the preparations. We are also ready.” It’s the same in all countries. You probably don’t know that Trump has already hidden in the bunker. The Internet is deleting posts, and he’s still in the bunker refuting rumors.”

Kant, who was in front of the breakfast shop, quickly returned when he heard that. He took Little Man’s phone and clicked on a magic power. He immediately logged into Twitter. Ah Chuan’s latest post was two words in bold.

“FAKE-NEWS!”

“Pfft.” Kant stifled his laughter.” What’s going on outside?”

” The M Nation’s military deployment and the launch of an intercontinental nuclear bomb have all been witnessed. There are many conspiracy theories on Twitter…It’s just like the foreigners.”

” It seems like he’s the one I’m most afraid of,” Kant said.

” The M Nation has been robbing and killing people all over the world for decades. Of course, they are guilty.” The old man snorted.” But he’s a businessman after all. He doesn’t have the guts to risk his life. We can see clearly that even a 10-million-ton nuclear bomb can’t destroy a country. Even if the organization or individual who stole the nuclear bomb has some scheme, they tend to use it as a bargaining chip instead of detonating it directly.”

” This seems to be my chance,” Kant said thoughtfully.

“Yes… That’s why we want to invite you to the capital as a guest.” The old man smiled and said,” Let’s see what we can do. Let’s see if you, the most powerful esper in the world, can give us some suggestions. We know very little about the ability of spatial teleportation. This is a wake-up call.”

” Also, we’re also interested in your proposal to build a base for you to test your abilities and teach other superpowered people.”

“So, can you spare some time for a chat? We all want to talk to you.”

After a while, Kant hung up and returned to the breakfast shop.

“Who are you talking to?” Xiao Man looked at his expression.” What’s the matter?”

” Yes.” Kant nodded and said proudly,” I’ve summoned you in the sea.”
