I Have A Super USB Drive - Chapter 496

Chapter 496: The Lilith Assembly

A few days later.

A video suddenly appeared on YouTube, the world’s largest website.

This was a common vertical-screen video recorded by a mobile phone. It was sent by a little-known vlogger. It showed a stormy, cloudy sea with lightning and thunder, and the dark clouds seemed to be only a hundred meters above the sea, creating a suppressive atmosphere as if the clouds were crushing the land below.

The videographer seemed to be standing on a freighter and a large number of red and blue containers could be seen in the shot. At this time, the frame was also bobbing up and down along with the freighter.

However, as the videographer’s lens turned, something special appeared in the frame.

It was a huge light spot, emitting a rainbow-like variety of colors. It was translucent, like a rainbow standing upon the sea.

At this time, the videographer was still a little far away from the “rainbow spot”, but the spot was conspicuous in the dark weather and one could hear that several people were constantly talking in the video. The subject of their conversation also revolved around this light spot.

Some people guessed that it was a rainbow, but this was immediately rejected by others because they were now in the midst of a storm and no sunlight could shine through the dense dark clouds to form a rainbow.

Some people thought it was a leak of biogas from the seabed, but it was quickly overruled. As the freighter approached, the full appearance of the light spot gradually emerged.

In the previous frames, the freighter was located at the right rear of the light spot, so the light spot appeared to be completely flat, like a vertical bar. Even so, as the freighter came to the right side of the light spot, everyone finally saw that the light spot turned out to be an irregular circle.

Moreover, the light spot was not connected to the sea surface but was higher above the sea surface. It was just that, because of the freighter route, the freighter did not get too close to the light spot. Plus, there was nothing to compare it to on the surface of the sea. As the people in the video discussed, they reached no agreement on how big the light spot was.

Then, the freighter gradually moved away from the light spot and the videographer stopped shooting when it was almost out of sight.

This video, which was less than ten minutes in length, immediately attracted a crowd of people with too much time on their hands on YouTube. They also discussed what the light spot was:

[Getlost]: So, what exactly is that thing? What was filmed in this video, what the f*ck did I just watch?

[Director of SFA Medical Academy]: Allow me to reply. That is a plastic bag.

[PSYCHO]: Isn’t it a rainbow? I thought it’s a rainbow, but if it’s not, what is it? Those illiterates would think it’s something cool.

[Kill]: Why does a video taken now still have such bad quality? The hands are so shaky. As we all know, as the pixels of mobile phones increase, the chances of online gamers all over Earth capturing UFOs (or dragons) on phones are getting less and less.

[DREZZ]: That’s a wormhole, okay, the kind that can lead to another world!

[The account has been terminated]: Some people said that this kind of video is fake, is it true, alright. I was there at the time, I was the dark cloud.

[LiLei]: It seems that what happened in 1999 can’t be concealed anymore…

At first, this video did not attract the attention of any department, since everyone thought it was just an everyday prank from a certain special effects producer. However, as the second, third, and even more and more people released similar videos, gradually, the fact that a strange light spot had appeared somewhere in the Indian Ocean also gradually spread.

At first, some people thought it was some kind of advertisement for a film but as more and more people came forward and said that they had seen it with their own eyes, and even after the sea coordinates were shared out, gradually, many people finally began to believe the authenticity of the video.

Someone even publicly claimed that he had rented a Mauritius boat to explore the area and indeed found the spot about two thousand nautical miles southeast of Mauritius.

However, the spot was located dozens of meters high up in the air. Although it was not reachable, he still tried to throw things into the spot. The strange thing was that the spot swallowed the objects he threw in…

As soon as the news came out, it immediately attracted many wagging tongues. Many people who had time and money flew to Mauritius to try to see the “space wormhole” that had become viral recently.

However, after the first group of people went to Mauritius, they were prohibited from going to sea at the port. The reason was that a hurricane was about to hit nearby and any ships with long-distance capability were prohibited from going to sea.

Some tourists who came to explore even noticed the presence of the Earth Federation United Army in the port.

As soon as the news broke on the Internet, there was an uproar. If this group of people had been skeptical before, now that they were not even allowed to go to sea at this time, did it not mean that the spot was a real issue?

When everyone was fervently discussing how the light spot was something extraordinary, a new update blew up everything:

A tourist who went on an expedition posted a message saying that he had discovered an astonishing great secret. It turned out that a large chartering yard in Mauritius to attract tourists for more business, had created all this fake news. The videos were all edited, and those who were sharing evidence were all hired by the charter yard. The entire incident was a premeditated and planned advertising campaign!

Sure enough, within a few hours, more people began to expose the “crimes” of that chartering yard, from creating fake videos to forging evidence to attract tourists. There were all sorts of proof for this, including conversation transcripts.

At once, those who felt deceived were whipped into a frenzied mob that rained down condemnation. The website of this chartering yard was completely shut down due to complaints.

Until a day later, the chartering yard personally apologized and repeatedly promised not to commit such tricks. This allowed the anger of the public crowd to calm down and slowly dissipated…

In this manner, a wave of rumors was quashed.

While the Internet was in full swing over this rumor, Chen Chen was in a huge empty room. He was sitting cross-legged in the center of the room with his eyes closed. Through the eyelids, one could see his eyeballs spinning violently.

This room was as huge as a football field, but it was empty. The weird thing was that the room did not use any supporting pillars. The floor was black marble and the ceiling had a shed’s structure. Dazzling light came from above, illuminating the entire room until there were no shadows.

This was not so much a generic room as it was a quiet room.

At this time, Chen Chen meditated in the quiet room. This was a set of methods he had gradually compiled throughout three years to improve the accuracy of his Field energy. In this extremely quiet and empty area, he could observe everything in the world without interruption, yet perceive the flow of every current of air, the touch of each trace of Field energy.

Currently, the precision of Chen Chen’s Field energy had improved by leaps and bounds compared to three years ago. Once he could only magnify reality up to three hundred times, barely seeing the presence of bacteria, but now, his control over Field’s precision had been amplified by more than a thousand times. He could perceive many microbes by Field energy and those bacteria were like ants in his perception. If he wanted to, he could observe them down to every detail.

At this level, Chen Chen could already easily perceive the fine dust and microorganisms all over his body with the help of his Field. When he used Field to scan a person’s face, if he wanted to, he could see every hair and pore of the other party.

More than that, in his perception, the mites and various parasites in human pores were as conspicuous as a cockroach lying on one’s face…

In the beginning, Chen Chen was a little uncomfortable, but after such a long time, he had gradually adapted to it. In his eyes, the world was completely different from the world in the eyes of ordinary people. Even his aesthetic taste had diverged greatly from normal human beings.

Now, Chen Chen with his eyes closed suddenly frowned and slowly opened his eyes.

At the end of the quiet room, a red light lit up on the intercom next to the door for entering and exiting — this was a sign that Little X had to notify him of something.

As the quiet room should be kept as quiet as possible, Chen Chen would take off the headset, which he used to communicate with Little X, every time he trained. Only in certain emergencies, Little X would call him through the red light on the door.

Now that the light was on, it meant that Little X had something important to tell him.

Thinking of this, Chen Chen slowly stood up. He took a step forward and suddenly, his entire body had crossed a distance of more than fifty meters with a “whoosh” and came to the door.

Then, Chen Chen just glanced at the red light and suddenly, the button next to the red light automatically sank in and turned green.

“Sir Godfather, the conference application initiated by two ‘supervisors’ has been set in motion. The ‘Lilith Assembly’ will begin in ten minutes. If you don’t participate, you’ll automatically be deemed to have abstained.”

Little X’s voice came from the intercom. “Are you going to participate in this ‘Lilith Assembly’?”

“Of course.”

Chen Chen nodded. He closed his eyes slightly, tucked away the Field energy in his mind, and immediately opened the door in front of him.

Suddenly, what appeared in front of Chen Chen was a standard teleportation room with a black ball.

Immediately afterward, the black ball emitted a faint blue light shining on Chen Chen’s body. From Chen Chen’s perspective, he could only feel the blue light flash before his eyes and then the blue light disappeared again without a trace.

However, the instant this blue light flashed past, it represented Chen Chen’s displacement in space. At this time, he had already returned to the Spire Experimental Base.

Indeed, the quiet room used for training Field energy was not in the Spire or even within the scope of Namibia. In all of Blacklight Biotechnology, apart from Chen Chen and Little X, no one knew where the quiet room was.

After returning to the Spire, Chen Chen walked directly into a conference room with a huge table. This conference room did not have any decorations and was only painted with white wall paint. It was kept in its most original state. The only symbol indicating that it was a meeting room was the huge round table and the five luxurious chairs.

After sitting on one of the chairs, Chen Chen said, “I’m ready”, and then there was a glimmer before his eyes!

The environmental holographic simulator located in the four corners of the room suddenly activated. Chen Chen’s vision seemed to turn blurry. When it cleared up again, he realized that he had appeared in a luxurious meeting room.

Furthermore, four people were seated in the other four chairs in the conference room, but these four people were all dark shadows. Not only were their faces obscured, one could not even tell their gender or body size.

The only thing that set each one apart was the number plate on the conference table in front of everyone. From Chen Chen’s perspective, the numbers of the four people at the conference table were 01 to 04.

Chen Chen himself was the same. He had been completely transformed into a black humanoid figure, and in front of him, the 05 plate was placed.

“Very well, the last supervisor has arrived. In that case, our conference can begin.”

Seeing Chen Chen appearing in his seat, the black shadow sitting opposite Chen Chen immediately spoke, but his voice seemed to have been processed, and there was an electronic buzz to it that made people unable to tell who he was.

“Let’s start.”

Chen Chen nodded and chuckled lightly. “I heard that two supervisors have jointly initiated this conference. Did they find any important clues?”

“Of course, otherwise we will not initiate this Lilith Assembly.”

One of the supervisors replied. There was a 01 number in front of his position. “I believe you should all have noticed. In the past few days, a series of weird videos have appeared on the YouTube channel. I believe everyone has noticed the huge light spot rising above the sea?”

Chen Chen nodded when he heard these words.

“At first, no one cared about it, but then I gradually realized something was wrong, because there were people who have even gone to see the light spot in person, and there were rumors that it was a space wormhole.”

01 continued. “So for insurance, I personally sent someone to check it out and they found the weird light spot. As far as I know, the spot has the ability to swallow objects. So I contacted 04 and then communicated with Mauritius through the Earth Federation, sealed off the port there, and interfered with public discussion online, finally suppressing the incident.”

“Good job.”

Chen Chen clapped his hands. “Then what exactly is that spot, 01, have you found out?”

“Not for now. After all, the incident happened suddenly. 04 and I are now jointly launching this meeting to discuss a countermeasure, not only to study what the light spot is, but also to keep it a secret from the outside world and prevent the information from ever getting out.”
