A day later, Chen Chen was woken up from his bed.
"Sir Godfather, abnormalities have been discovered in North America."
Little X's voice came from the speaker.
Chen Chen rubbed his eyes, looked at his phone, and saw that it was three o 'clock in the morning. Only then did he exhale and said weakly, "What abnormalities..."
"Since last night, the police departments throughout North America and the FBI have coincidentally launched an investigation into the statues."
Little X's voice was a little serious. "Not only that, but none of the negotiation team that was supposed to return to Walvis Bay International Airport in the early hours of the morning returned. I looked at the mobile phones of the two people through satellite positioning and found that they were located in the FBI in Los Angeles."
"And then?"
At first, Chen Chen was still a little annoyed, but as Little X explained, Chen Chen's expression gradually calmed down. He continued to ask, "Can you find anything on the Internet?"
"I breached the network of the police department and the FBI. The news I got was that the Earth Federation United Front sent a mandatory mission to search all of North America and confiscate all statues with any abnormalities."
"United Front, statues..."
Chen Chen's pupils shrank as he seemed to realize something.
In Chen Chen's memory, the Earth Federation United Front seemed to be a department even more mysterious than the FBI. It was rare to hear of the deeds of this department and even 90% of people had never heard of the existence of this department.
Among those who had heard of the name of this department, 90% of people did not know what the function of this department was.
If explained by the name alone, it should mean the unified front of the Earth Federation, but this meaning was somewhat intriguing. What kind of existence was the Earth Federation United Front to fight against?
No one knew the answer.
However, in this order, Chen Chen could extract two keywords, that was, "united front" and "statues". Excluding the two words "united front", the statues left a deeper impression on Chen Chen.
In his mind, the shadows of three stone statues immediately flashed.
"Is it a coincidence? Or... "
Chen Chen sat up from the bed and meditated in the darkness. After a while, he continued to ask, "Did you find anything in the end?"
"No."
Little X replied, "I followed the Federation's official website to investigate in-depth, but I didn't find the network entrance of this department of the Federation United Front at all. However, I found several encrypted letters, but I'm afraid that cracking these letters will immediately alarm the Earth Federation."
"Forget it then."
Chen Chen stood up, turned around, and walked toward the bathroom. "The time in Northern America is in the eighth zone. We're now in the first zone, which means we're about eight hours ahead of Northern America. It should only be nightfall in Northern America right now, right?"
"Yes, it's seven o 'clock in the evening in North America."
Little X replied, "I've cracked the network of the FBI in Northern America and found that the entire Northern America has collected more than 100,000 statues at this time. All kinds of strange shapes or strange stories. Even priceless statues such as the Thinker and the Mona Lisa have been centralized and guarded..."
"At present, the Bureau of Investigation and the police have selected one thousand and three hundred statues that are suspected to be abnormal and issued tens of thousands of letters of assistance in the investigation. The Los Angeles Bureau of Investigation has also received letters of assistance from Anthony and Jennifer..."
However, halfway through, Little X suddenly paused and then said in surprise, "Sir Godfather, I suddenly made an important discovery..."
"Don't tell me that you found the statues in Elysium." Chen Chen's expression froze.
"Unfortunately, that's true."
Little X lowered her voice and said in a slightly surprised tone, "In the information of the Los Angeles FBI, I've seen the photos and information of these three statues. Not only that, but I also found information about Gross..."
With that, the monitor in the bedroom turned on automatically and displayed the images of the three statues.
Sure enough, the photos of the three statues were exactly the same as the ones Chen Chen saw in Elysium's dimension. The eyes, ears, and mouth were highlighted respectively, just like the Analects of Confucius's saying, "See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil."
Seeing that the statues were exactly the same as in his memory, Chen Chen suddenly narrowed his eyes.
As for Gross, that was the name of the family in Elysium and also the name of the first owner of the three statues of the Apocalypse...
Reality and the movie seemed to overlap at this moment...
Chen Chen walked into the bathroom and quickly washed up. Then, he stared at himself in the mirror and wiped his face with a towel. "In other words, the three statues are now in the FBI branch in Los Angeles?"
"So far, yes."
Chen Chen walked out of the bathroom and flicked his right hand. An NZT-48 flew into his mouth. Then Chen Chen closed his eyes slightly and endless reasoning and information began to flow in his mind...
"The Gross family, the three statues, the FBI, the Federal United Front..."
Chen Chen murmured in a low voice. Endless guesses and clues were automatically integrated. In just a few seconds, Chen Chen had thought a lot. "Now it seems that the Federation seems to be looking for these three statues? But they didn't directly point to the three statues in Gross' hands, but from hundreds of thousands of statues, a preliminary selection of more than a thousand? "
"Yes." Little X replied, "In the message sent by the Federal United Front, there is no clear goal, but only two elements — North America and the statues, and I'm sure that no other continents have received similar missions."
"In that case, the Earth Federation seems to have learned of something through some channel."
Chen Chen showed a solemn expression. "But for some reason, the information the Earth Federation got wasn't comprehensive, so they could only expand the scope and conduct a wantonly investigation throughout Northern America... So, the Earth Federation seems to have some channel to learn of the danger of the three statues and know that these statues are in North America?"
"At present, it seems that this is the case," Little X replied.
Chen Chen suddenly sighed. "This is information that even we don't know. If I hadn't been to Elysium's dimension, I'm afraid I wouldn't have thought that a few ordinary statues would be so dangerous..."
As he spoke, Chen Chen walked to the computer and began to look at the information Little X had found from the FBI. Sure enough, the origin, appearance, and owner of these three statues were exactly the same as those in Elysium's dimension. They were all dug out from the gold mine by this man named Gross.
Moreover, it was precisely because these three statues were very special in both appearance and origin that they were also collected by the Federation and selected into the more than a thousand candidate groups of "suspected anomalies".
Next, this batch of "suspected anomalies" would be transported to the Earth Federation headquarters in New York for subsequent processing.
After reading this information, Chen Chen finally let out a sigh. "Sure enough, it's not the first time."
"Ah, what did you say more than the first time?" Little X asked curiously.
"I mean, the Earth Federation's abnormal response has not been the first time."
Chen Chen sighed. "Didn't you notice? Ever since the outbreak of the Blacklight virus, I've had my doubts. Why was it that when the Blacklight virus spread in Africa, countries around the world were able to respond so perfectly? I've always thought it was because of the experience from the incident three years ago, but there are still many things that don't make sense. "
"However, if you combine it with the Earth Federation's behavior this time, it's very telling."
Chen Chen enunciated each word. "The Earth Federation seems to have something that can predict crises..."
"Is it something that foresees danger?" Little X muttered to herself as she tried to comprehend this phrase.
"The reason why I call it 'something' is that I don't know if it's a person, an object, or some other scientific instrument or the like."
Chen Chen explained, "But according to my inference, its existence can basically be confirmed, but it seems to have a flaw, that is, it can't accurately pinpoint what the crisis is.
"Or in other words, there are general and errors in its communication with the Earth Federation, which led to the response plans of various countries when the Blacklight virus attacked last time, as well as the large-scale search for the statues this time...
"Even, I suddenly thought of a terrible thing."
Chen Chen suddenly lowered his voice. "In 1991, the Soviet Union disintegrated, and then less than a year later, the Earth Federation was established. At first, only the five permanent members and a few dozen of their underlings joined, but as the Earth Federation's momentum grew, in the end, all countries could not bear the pressure and all joined this community with a shared future for mankind...
"This incident is almost only mentioned in the textbooks. It's only said that this was the first great integration in human history, but now that I think about it, the strangeness and strangeness in it is really shocking..."
Chen Chen narrowed his eyes. "And one of the most fundamental questions is — in the absence of external enemies, why would humans unite together?"
"Ah?"
Little X seemed to suddenly realize something and let out a low cry.
"Sometimes, common sense can be a very scary thing."
Chen Chen's lips curled into a smile. "It's funny, isn't it? This kind of question is like asking why one plus one equals two, even a child can answer — because of the community with a shared future for mankind, the Soviet Union disintegrated, the human political system was federalized, and the Earth Federation was established.
"However, if you remove this' common sense ', you'll find the shadow hidden beneath, such as why the Soviet Union suddenly disintegrated? Was it really because the economy couldn't support it? Why was the Human Federation established? Is there some external reason in this that ordinary people can't understand? "
Chen Chen continued. "The history textbooks only tell us that the strong countries integrated the weak countries, and the weak countries attached themselves to the strong... The United States integrated Canada and Mexico, which later became the North American Continent; India integrated the Philippines, Myanmar, and other nearby weak countries to form the Indian Continent; Malaysia, Indonesia, and the New Guinea Islands were integrated into the South China Sea Continent; Japan, South Korea, and North Korea formed the East China Sea Continent, and the countries in the Middle East formed the Middle East Continent...
"And in the early days of the establishment of the Earth Federation, it could be said that all human beings were of one mind, and even began to share weapons and technology with each other, as if it was really ushering in human unity... However, this situation did not last for more than two years, and it was revealed again. The nature of human infighting destroyed the original atmosphere of love, and it hasn't improved even now..."
At this point, Chen Chen suddenly asked, "X, can you think of what the reason is?"
"According to your speculation, could it be because the Earth Federation foresaw a disaster that would affect all of mankind, and in order to survive, the various countries put aside their prejudices and had to unite? But after two or three years, they found that the disaster didn't come immediately, or maybe the disaster wasn't as powerful as imagined? "
Little X replied.
"That's a good guess."
Chen Chen nodded with satisfaction and sighed. "This is exactly what I guessed. I have to say, sometimes common sense can be a scary thing. If it wasn't for the Federation's big move this time, I wouldn't have thought about this at all, nor would I have thought that the waters behind the Earth Federation run so deep..."
"Yes, even though I've invaded the Earth Federation many times, I haven't found the slightest clue at all."
Little X echoed.
"It's obvious that this may be related to the top secret of the Earth Federation."
Chen Chen nodded. "But now that we've discovered it, it's much easier. X, try to pay attention to similar news on the Internet in the future."
As he said this, Chen Chen suddenly smiled bitterly. "But now is not the time to be concerned about this. At present, it seems that the Earth Federation doesn't know which statue is their target. It's very likely that they have no idea how powerful the three statues are. If the situation in Elysium suddenly erupts, it'll be very interesting..."
"Then we..." Little X asked tentatively, "Should we bring the statues over?"
"Yes."
A gloomy glint flashed in Chen Chen's eyes. "It's obvious that the Earth Federation can't even determine the target, let alone deal with it properly. Once the latent danger of the three statues erupts, the fortress of human civilization will collapse at the speed of light. No one will be spared, including me."
With that, Chen Chen took out his phone and dialed Brando's number.
"Mr. Chen..."
Although it was late at night, the call was picked up after only two rings. At the same time, Brando's steady voice came from the other side.
"Brando, the mission objective has changed."
Chen Chen said in a low voice, "Inform the B.S.S. team you sent out and have them go to the Los Angeles FBI branch. Get me the three statues, that's your goal."
"Understood." Brando replied, "Then, Mr. Chen, the style of the three statues..."
"I'll send it to you soon. Also, this mission has been upgraded from a company mission to a God's Forbidden Zone mission. Mission level: Alpha, understand?"
On the other end of the phone, Brando, who was leaning on the bed at this time, suddenly froze and then his expression changed. "I understand!"
As the beeping sound came from the phone, Brando hung up the phone in a daze. His heart was in turmoil!
The Alpha-level mission was also the highest level mission in God's Forbidden Zone. Brando still remembered that he had read the description of this mission.
In the God's Forbidden Zone manual, the priority of the Alpha-level mission was —
No matter the cost!
