Khubilai lay on his bed and expressionlessly looked at Bayan's report.
In the recent months, he had been supporting the containment project more and more.
His subordinates were very helpful, and were able to contain two strange items in places that the Mohist family did not notice.
Being able to not be noticed by the Mohist family meant that it would not cause much harm.
As for these anomalies, they were very easy to contain, and they were basically everyday items.
One of the anomalies that Khubilai obtained was especially useful, which was a red scarf that could be tied around one's neck or arm.
The anomaly had first appeared on a surrendered Song soldier. He was just a small Han cavalry under Dayuan's Prime Minister Bayan.
When the rebel army was surrounding the city. This cavalry relied on the scarf to sneak into the rebel camp and assassinate the rebel king. He then went in and out of the enemy camp, causing chaos in the enemy camp. However, he could not do anything to him, and in the end, he was able to escape with the rebel king's head. The enemy troops started to fight amongst themselves, and Prime Minister Bayan arrived with his troops and defeated them.
That cavalry used this merit to rise up the ranks, and he was promoted to a Qianhu Commander.
He thought that he could continue to control this anomaly, but he did not expect the Dayuan Emperor to create a special unit to investigate this anomaly.
After being investigated, this person could not hide the scarf anymore.
It turned out that this anomaly wasn't meant to make someone a hero, but rather cause them to suffer from [Absolute Face Blindness].
First, the wearer would suffer from face blindness, and then everyone who saw him would also suffer from face blindness.
However, as long as he took off the scarf, the face blindness would disappear, and everyone who was affected by it would recover.
Even such a simple anomaly was able to display its brilliance in this war.
This was because when everyone was human, he could change into the enemy's clothes and sneak into the enemy camp, and no one would be able to tell him apart from the crowd.
This person snuck into the enemy camp and killed the rebel king in front of everyone. Even if someone saw him, no one would know that he was the one who killed the rebel king.
He pretended to be a rebel and searched for the assassin with the enemy, and no one suspected him.
Not only that, but because too many people saw him, they all suffered from face blindness. As a result, the enemy camp was in chaos.
Everyone looked familiar, but at the same time, they looked unfamiliar.
In the eyes of a person with absolute face blindness, it was as if all humans looked the same.
Under such circumstances, although the wearer of the red scarf was also face-blind, he had an advantage. He had infiltrated the enemy camp alone, so he knew that 'everyone was an enemy'.
He didn't have any teammates, and as an orphan, he didn't need to distinguish between friend and foe. Thus, he killed his way in and out of the enemy camp, causing the enemy to feel threatened. In the end, no one believed him, and they started killing each other.
Just like that, the powerful rebel army collapsed. They had been thrown into chaos by him alone and suffered a crushing defeat.
After Khubilai understood the situation, he decisively kept the red scarf. It was a strategic weapon!
Morale and order were extremely important in a war. If the enemy could not recognize each other's faces and had to rely on tokens and other anti-counterfeit items to distinguish between friend and foe, then there would be no way to fight the war.
Even if the enemy had an army of millions, as long as one person wearing a red scarf sneaked into the camp, he would be able to cause chaos and panic.
If they did not recognize the person clearly, they would have no fighting spirit and would lose without a doubt. To Khubilai, this was a great treasure.
Other than the red scarf, the other anomaly was unknown.
It was just a board made of an unknown material. It could be said to be metal, but it was soft and foldable like paper.
However, it could be said to be paper, but it was indestructible. Khubilai's men had used all sorts of methods but could not leave a single mark on it.
Every day, strange words would appear on it. It was like inscriptions on a tablet, but the writing was very strange.
For example, yesterday, it showed some words that he could not understand.
Khubilai had specially hired scholars to decipher these words. It could be seen that some of the words were obviously wrong, but there were some that he could not recognize.
Also, when these words were placed together, he could roughly understand what they were saying, but he could not really understand what they were saying …
Wandering was understandable, but what was Earth?
Khubilai felt that there were mysteries hidden in it, so he ordered people to decipher it day and night, but they did not find anything.
But no matter what, Khubilai had obtained two anomalies, so he was in a good mood.
With this, Khubilai placed more importance on the anomalies, he greatly rewarded and used the people in charge of the anomalies.
He handed them over to the stable, loyal, and trustworthy Bayan to lead.
"Great Khan, the Mohist family is more terrifying than we thought. Our spies saw celestial birds sneaking in and out of Fishing City." Bayan said.
Khubilai was shocked: "There has never been a celestial! Bayan, the Mohist family did not use celestial birds, but their mechanical techniques. "
"As I understand the anomalies more and more, thinking about it, the Mohist family is only so-so."
"The godly sword from before must have had a fatal weakness, otherwise, why do you think they did not use it to conquer the world?"
Bayan said calmly: "The Mohist family's threat to Dayuan is not small, maybe they are accumulating strength … … Great Khan, we have to be careful."
Khubilai nodded: "They seem to have no desires, but they are actually after something big!"
"There is no one in the world that has no desires. For them to say that they are not interested in Dayuan's territory, that is the biggest joke in the world."
Adams had told him that the Mohist family, which was the Blue and White Club, did not want anything and only wanted the world to be stable and not be affected by anomalies.
Although Khubilai agreed with this, in truth, he was still uneasy. He did not believe that these people would be able to survive.
Just as he was speaking, there was a commotion outside the hall.
Being disturbed by the commotion, Khubilai frowned. Bayan immediately shouted: "Why are you making so much noise!"
Two eunuchs ran in with ashen white faces, their bodies trembling as they stumbled.
Bayan even smelled urine, and his eyes sharpened as he was about to make things difficult for them.
However, the eunuchs cried out: "The sky is falling! The sky is falling! "
"Great Khan! The sky is falling! "
Khubilai was furious and slapped the table: "Preposterous!"
Within the palace, to shout at the emperor that the sky was falling, how bold.
What sky is falling? Are you implying that Dayuan is finished? Even during the last dynasty, when the rebels surrounded the city, the eunuchs in the palace would not dare to say such things.
However, while he was angry, Khubilai calmed down and thought about it. If it was not something huge, no one would dare to make such a ruckus in the palace.
At this moment, the cries and shouts outside were like something huge had happened.
"Who is causing trouble outside?" Khubilai questioned.
The two eunuchs trembled: "Sky! The sky is really falling! "
"Scram!" Khubilai kicked the eunuchs away and walked out of the hall.
Bayan stepped out and blocked in front of Khubilai.
Khubilai looked at the guards that he had carefully selected. Some of them leaned against the wall, while others sat on the ground.
They all looked up at the sky at the same time.
At this moment, it was close to dusk, and the sun was setting.
The ground was darker than usual, like night had arrived early.
A giant blue planet appeared in the sky. In their field of vision, it took up half the sky, and it was slowly getting bigger. It was like it was getting closer and closer to the ground.
The land, the islands, the forests, the oceans, and the huge, rugged mountain ranges. Everything seemed to be looking up at another world on the other side.
Vaguely, he seemed to be able to see many small black dots moving quickly, as well as strange objects that were getting bigger and bigger, as if they were falling to the ground at an even faster speed.
Khubilai raised his head, and when he saw all this, he was stunned.
It was true, the sky was falling.
There was no hint, no hint. In their minds, this scene was a calamity that would destroy them all.
He did not know that the one in the sky was the earth, and it was the twin of the ground beneath him.
At this moment, the two earths were even closer than the distance between the moon and the earth.
Due to the attraction between them, they were getting closer and closer. Not long later, the two earths would collide.
Looking up from the ground, it was huge.
In the eyes of the Southern Song people, it was like the sky was falling.
They did not know the concept of a planet. The earth and oceans appeared in the sky, and the clouds pressed down.
Not only that, but they could also feel that their bodies were floating.
This was the gravity of the other earth affecting them, reducing the gravity that everyone on the surface had to bear.
"What do we do? What do we do? "
From the palace to the commoners, they all panicked.
This was much more terrifying than a solar eclipse. The mountains and oceans that covered the sky kept falling. This was an impact that they had never imagined.
However, at this moment, a giant black figure appeared in the sky.
He pushed his hand in the direction of the Heavens Beyond Heaven, and the unknown sky that was pressing down on him seemed to have stopped in its tracks. Not only that, it even flew back further and further away.
"Someone pushed the sky back!"
"Oh my god! So the heavens can really be pushed away. Separating the heavens and the earth is real! "
The commoners on the ground cheered, and Khubilai broke out in cold sweat.
Bayan's eyes opened wide. The special objects that were falling down were none other than space stations and the Blue and White Society's Low Earth Orbit Aerospace Warships.
Although they were all damaged like they had been attacked, they looked very familiar to Bayan.
"It's a celestial bird!" Bayan exclaimed.
Khubilai asked, "What?"
"It's something we saw at Fishing City … Er, something from the Mohist family!" Bayan said.
Khubilai was shocked. What? That group of people?
He looked at the sky in fear and thought about Adams' words, "We are not interested in your country. If the sky falls, someone will hold it up. That is the meaning of our existence."
Wasn't that just not interested? If the sky falls, they can really hold it up?
Khubilai was stunned. So that was not a metaphor?
