nChapter 105 It’s All Fake

n“Mr. President, do you really believe him?” Maruse stared at Oraman in disbelief. In his opinion, Himmel Soan was full of bull**!

nThe Immortal Fruit didn’t exist. It was only fabricated by Moon to fool the world.

nOraman said, “I don’t see any signs of deception. You also saw what the space cannon did.”

nOne of the officials said, “Mr. President, that man has no credit at all! The space cannon is unattainable because it’s way beyond our current technology standard. It’s like jumping from the first floor to the third without mentioning the second floor! Science is about taking one step at a time, but that Himmel Soan has completely ignored that!”

n“That’s right! It’s an essential process. Without it, one can never achieve an advanced technology standard! What he said was like a sci-fi movie. We can create the effect with CGI, but we can’t replicate it in reality!”

nOraman asked, “What about that space cannon?”

n“It’s probably some kind of illusion, too. Mr. President, I’m sure you know how magic is performed. The magicians can fly, teleport, make people disappear, and even change the weather. However, they’re all illusions. Magic isn’t real. You must know that! Can any country make people fly or teleport them? Of course not!”

nMaruse said, “I agree! Moon is an ancient country, and they have a lot of old tricks. What they did during the press conference was probably one of those tricks.”

nOraman sat down and rubbed his chin. “If that were the case, why would he give us the blueprint for free?”

n“That’s why it’s a clever plan! The blueprint must contain some sort of secret that can steal information for Moon. Once other countries build it, they will be controlled by Moon. That’s their first step to world domination! They’re more aggressive than us. We only want to profit from the catastrophe, but they want to take this opportunity to rule the world!”

nOraman fell silent, his face darkening. If what they said about Moon was true, he would have almost fallen for the scam!

nHow cunning!

nFor a split second, Oraman really wanted the blueprint and initiate mass production. He broke into a cold sweat when he thought back to it and felt glad that he had dodged the bullet.

n“I’m impressed! They almost fooled me!

n“We must warn the other countries, too. They have to watch out, or they’ll all become victims.”

n“Although the chance is slim, what if he’s telling the truth?”

n“It’s like you said; the chance is slim. More likely than not that he’s lying. Moreover, Mr. President, do you really think we can build a weapon that belongs to a future era? Is that

npossible?”

nOraman nodded. “You’re right. It’s impossible! I was being naive. I’ll leave it to you to sort it out.”

n“Yes, sir!”

nTheir top priority was to stop any other country from trusting Moon.

nOne moment ago.

n“So, Moon has been right all along! Arks won’t save our lives! Get the blueprint now and build the underground shelter!”

n“What are we waiting for? Get the blueprint!”

n“We’ve misunderstood Moon! We’re the real clowns!”

n“Thank you, Moon! Thank you, Himmel Soan! Without you, we’d be dead!”

n“Are the arks only 200,000Z strong? I’m glad I’m poor and didn’t buy a ticket!”

n“Is there still space left in the Moonian underground shelter? How much is a ticket? I want to buy one!”

nOnce the hired posters from Neigerian joined the commentators, things took a drastic turn. It was like everything changed in a moment.

n“Open your eyes, guys! That wasn’t real! The Moonians have tricked you with an illusion! Neige has dug out some information from Moon. As you can see here, it wasn’t a live stream but a recording! The people in it are all actors! Scientists and reporters of other countries may not know it, but no Neigerian participated in that event!”

n“That’s right! That video has been edited, and those people were all hired actors!”

n“Just think about it! How can a superweapon like that exist? Things like Immortal Fruit only exist in movies and fiction. They can’t be real! Moon has fabricated the whole thing!”

n“Why did they do it?”

n“Yes, they’ve given us the blueprint for free! I know some scientific theories. The blueprint looks fine to me.”

n“Do you really know the theories? Are you sure you can understand everything on the blueprint? You can only understand a fraction of it, and you’ll have to seek Moon’s help for the rest. They’ll give you some spare parts, which are the key to their plot! They’ll bug those parts! Once you use the device, all the secrets of your country will be sent back to Moon!”

n“They’ll control the security, weapons, and internet systems of your country! Moon will become the ruler of the world! That’s their whole plan!”

nSome more level-headed netizens questioned the conclusion. “If all that was fake, Moon wouldn’t exist after this catastrophe. What’s the point of making such an elaborate plan?”

n“Says who? We have 105 hours till the impact, a little over four days. The machines can be built in a day, and in two days, all countries will have them. Moon will have instant control over all the nations, and they’ll take away all your arks! You’ll become their free labor! The only survivors will be Moonians and those who submit to them!

n“Once that happens, your future is doomed! Moon will become the only leading country after the catastrophe! We can’t let that happen!”
