It seemed as if Xu Lie had foreseen the outcome, firmly believing that whatever was left behind would end up in the hands of fellow humans rather than those of Alien Affairs. The next message he left revealed the truth: Alien Affairs had an insatiable fascination with studying human nature.
No matter what I did, even if Alien Affairs detected it, they would not intervene; instead, they anticipated the developments to come and recorded them. I didn’t know what this meant for Alien Affairs, but I could only speculate that it was something immensely valuable and currently unknown to humanity.
Thus, even if I left a message, Alien Affairs would never easily erase it; they would leave it for their human counterparts, eager for future developments. Hearing this made William and Mers' scalps tingle with unease.
To be honest, when they had rushed out of the villa and driven far away to open the frame, they felt a fleeting sense of triumph. They believed they had successfully deceived Alien Affairs' surveillance and had taken Xu Lie's backup plan with them. However, from Xu Lie's description, it was clear that they were nothing but fools; Alien Affairs might have seen everything but chose not to intervene.
In that moment, the joy they had felt moments ago plummeted into despair. The audience could easily empathize with their current feelings.
"I told you, how could the aliens' technology not detect Xu Lie's backup plan?"
"Ugh, it's too difficult. I can't think of how humanity can combat such an opponent."
"Yeah, even our most powerful weapon, the Tactical Nuclear Weapon, seems incapable of destroying a UFO."
Xu Lie continued his holographic projection from the facilities aboard the UFO: "Fellow humans, do not despair. This is precisely our most likely turning point. Just as I once did when I accepted the final commission to smuggle Tactical Nuclear Weapons, I reported it to the Investigation Bureau and sent a letter via a hidden messenger."
Alien Affairs did not intervene at all; they allowed everything to unfold freely, merely wanting to observe my ultimate choice. For Alien Affairs, that was knowledge—an outcome worth studying and recording. It allowed me to successfully deceive them and detonate the Tactical Nuclear Weapon on schedule.
This was the key to turning the tide; as long as our final decision caught them off guard, it would be enough to shake this group of Alien Affairs.
With that, Xu Lie’s message concluded, and Light and Shadow slowly dissipated in the vehicle. William felt a flicker of hope in overcoming Alien Affairs; his heart raced with excitement as he pressed down on the accelerator, making the car speed forward. Meanwhile, Mers fell into silence.
Mers wore an unusual expression, leaving William, who was filled with hope, quite puzzled. "Mers? Aren't you happy? This is intelligence left behind by Liet, enough to defeat Alien Affairs! We found it—no, you found it yourself!"
Mers only felt exhausted, unable to share his feelings with William. According to Xu Lie's message, only by making an unexpected choice could they have a chance—note that it was a chance—to defeat Alien Affairs.
But could two civilizations collide simply by playing clever tricks? They were an Infant Civilization that hadn't even left their Home Planet, while the mysterious Alien Affairs was a Mature Civilization capable of traversing star systems.
What could a child do against an adult in a full-scale war? Even if they managed to pluck a few hairs from the adult, what difference would it make?
Mers was still torn, wondering whether he should run away, yet feeling that escaping would be futile no matter where he went. His mind was filled with negative emotions, and he sensed that humanity's arrival brought nothing but darkness.
