Chapter 534 How did you escape!
Ai Wanxin smiled and said, "That's not important. What's important is that after placing the former speaker under house arrest, I learned a secret."
Schnatter became even more curious: "What secret?"
Ai Wanxin leaned forward slightly and said very solemnly: "Marshal, I don't know if you know that there is a group of creatures on the island of Atlantis that look completely different from humans."
Schnatter's cheeks sank like a mangy dog, and he stared at Ai Wanxin warily and said, "What's the matter?"
Ai Wanxin lowered her voice and said, "Those are lizardmen."
"......" Schnatter was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, "Hahahaha, what is that?"
Ai Wanxin said seriously: "You may not know, Marshal, that on our earth, there has always been an unconfirmed but widely circulated legend."
"Legend has it that there is a group of lizardmen who look very different from humans. They come from the center of the earth or outer space. They have mastered advanced technology. Normally, they disguise themselves as humans and hide among us."
Hearing this, Schnatter couldn't help but let out a sarcastic smile. He thought she knew about demons, but it turned out she took the legend seriously. What an ignorant woman.
He said disdainfully: "And then?"
"The legend says that these lizardmen have extremely strong vitality and a long lifespan. They have accumulated countless wealth on Earth and have become the invisible masters of the world by manipulating finance, politics, and the media. Many political leaders are their puppets."
Schnatter's eyes rolled, the more he listened, the more he felt something was wrong. Why did this statement sound so much like Atlas?
"Long life", Atlas seems to be over 80 years old.
"The vitality is particularly strong", such old things survived the apocalyptic flood and mutation.
"Having accumulated countless wealth", Atlas seemed to be the richest man on earth before the end of the world.
"Controlling the world through political leaders", isn't that what he has been doing?
......
Could that old thing be a devil?
Schnatter's eyes suddenly widened.
If Atlas is a demon, then everything seems to make sense.
Why he was able to open the Void Star Swirl leading to another time and space at the beginning.
Why was it so easy for him to accept those demons walking around on his island.
So, the Earth's joining the Interstellar Federation couldn't have been a devil's conspiracy from the beginning to the end? !
Cold sweat broke out on Schnatter's forehead, which looked like lard jelly.
Originally he thought that Atlas and Speaker Hans each got what they wanted.
Speaker Hans needs Earth to join the Interstellar Federation to improve his reputation among citizens and strive for re-election in the upcoming general election.
Atlas facilitated this in exchange for the Interstellar Federation's advanced medical technology to prolong his life. After all, he was already an old man half buried in the ground.
As for the demons, according to Old Hans, they are just using their supernatural powers to help the earth travel through time and space.
Before today's conversation, Schnatter had never doubted this.
But what if that’s not the case?
If Atlas is a demon, his motivation to trade for advanced medical technology doesn't make sense.
They must have some ulterior motive in going to such great lengths.
Could this be a trap set by them?!
Ai Wanxin seemed not to notice that Schnatter was wavering and continued, "In order to exchange the evidence in my hand, the former speaker told me a piece of news."
Ai Wanxin's voice became lower and lower. Schnatter's chest was almost pressed against the edge of the table. He pricked up his ears and stretched his neck, trying to hear more clearly.
"He said Atlas didn't seem human and asked me not to get too close to Atlas."
"He also said that if I was willing to nominate him as the head of the alliance, he would be willing to obey my orders in the future."
It was like a huge rock hanging above the lake of his heart fell down, and huge waves were set off in Schnatter's heart.
really!
I am really good at seeing things from small details and predicting things. No disguise can escape the eyes of this marshal!
Schnatter took a deep breath, a smug glow on his face.
"And then, what do you say?"
"Of course I can't make any promises to him without asking the Marshal for permission." Ai Wanxin said sincerely, "In fact, when I first came to the Conqueror, I met Atlas."
"At that time, I didn't quite understand why the Marshal avoided him. It turned out that he had seen through his true colors long ago."
Schnatter snorted and laughed: "My knowledge is beyond the imagination of a mere mercenary like you."
Ai Wanxin smiled and said, "Marshal, didn't you ask me why I didn't show up at the alliance meeting this morning?"
"The truth is, after I learned this important news, I sneaked into the Temple of the Sun, survived a near-death experience, and finally discovered their deeply hidden conspiracy."
There is indeed a conspiracy!
Schnatter subconsciously puffed out his chest.
At this moment, he felt that he was really too smart and everything was within his expectations.
But I still have to ask, just to give her a chance to take credit.
"What conspiracy?" Schnatter asked.
Ai Wanxin said solemnly, "They seem to be transforming human sentinels and guides into lizardmen."
"In the alien space connected to the Temple of the Sun, I saw an army of countless lizardmen and countless black warships that looked like animal bones. They were everywhere and I had no idea what they wanted to do."
Schnatter pushed the armchair away and stood up. The heavy chair fell onto the shag carpet with a dull thud.
The shirt on his vest, which had just dried a little, was wet with sweat again. The muscles on Schnatter's face twitched. He stared into Ai Wanxin's eyes and gritted his teeth and said, "Are you serious?"
Ai Wanxin nodded heavily: "Marshal, I originally wanted to take some photos or videos, but that place is very strange. As soon as I entered that space, the energy of all electronic devices was almost immediately exhausted. Otherwise, I would have taken some photos for you to see."
Schnatter's eyes narrowed. Drawing energy for one's own use was indeed a devil's trick.
Wasn't it the Nebula Well that she snatched from the devil that provided energy to that woman's mecha army?
Schnatter paced back and forth anxiously, as if his heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys were being roasted on fire.
What do those demons want to do by gathering their army?
He realized belatedly that when that woman was alive, the demons still wanted to exterminate and drive out humans. There was no reason why they could coexist peacefully with humans after that woman died.
The parliament said that the reason why demons became enemies with humans was because of that woman's instigation. In order to avenge her personal grudges and seek personal gain, she single-handedly provoked a protracted war between humans and demons.
Could it be that it's not true?
Schnatter was upset and confused. Suddenly, he shouted in a low voice: "How could you sneak into a place like that, and how did you escape!"
