Chapter 197: Goddess, Please Come (2)
I thought it was a dream. But just turning on the TV was enough to confirm that it wasn’t.
[Look at that spaceship floating in the sky! This isn’t AI-generated or manipulated footage! This is real!]
[What does the UN written on the spaceship mean? Are we supposed to believe that aliens from outside Terra are using our language—]
[Currently, U City and N City have both declared that they have no involvement in this matter. But can we really believe that they have nothing to do with a spaceship that has U and N written on it?]
The media was in a frenzy, reporting non-stop about the Earth-built warship. Ignoring it was impossible. Even within our organization, there was constant chatter about that damn warship...
Like a terminal patient who had given up on everything, I blankly stared out the window at the massive battleship hovering in the sky. If anything, I felt at peace. Because if that warship had arrived, it meant that Earth had already uncovered everything I had done here.
Even criminals, when faced with a couple of police officers knocking on their door, might consider running or resisting. But if a tank and a squadron of fighter jets showed up, they’d resign themselves and give up. That was exactly how I felt.
“So they won’t even bother speaking to a criminal...?”
From the moment that Earth warship appeared in Terra’s skies, I had been trying to establish communication. But they refused to respond. In hindsight, it made perfect sense.
Even on Earth, law enforcement didn’t negotiate with criminals. They simply issued orders and made arrests. And the warship’s silence only reinforced my suspicions.
“So this is it, huh?”
With Earth’s technology, it wouldn’t take long for them to figure out everything I had done on this planet. They’d hack into the AI I had spread across the entire world, combing through its data. And if that wasn’t enough, they’d gather the atoms around me and reconstruct the past.
