Pressure from All Sides
At the press conference, many media staff in the capital gathered at the press conference venue. The atmosphere was grand and warm.
The media asked questions about aliens one after another, making the host and several advisors overwhelmed.
"May I ask if what happened at the Eternal Ancient Monastery is true? Do aliens look like humans on Earth?”
"Why would aliens go to the Eternal Ancient Monastery? Does their planet have the same faith as ours? Or religion?"
After the emcee gave a simple answer, a media staff member asked directly,"Why did you keep the news of the alien landing a secret? Do you have an ulterior motive?”
The host smiled and replied," The confidentiality is for the safety of the aliens. This is only temporary.”
"If it weren't for the matter with the Eternal Ancient Monastery, how long would you have kept it a secret before announcing it to the outside world?”The reporter continued to ask.
The other staff members at the side laughed. They felt that this was not a problem. They had already held a press conference. It seemed that this media member had not been paying attention to the progress of this incident. Wasn't asking such a question a waste of precious time? They let out a series of boos. Otherwise, he might have some ulterior motive for asking such a question.
"We want to know what the aliens look like. " I'm a reporter from XXXXX newspaper," a reporter said as he held up the newspaper." We took a photo of the aliens in the Henggu Temple and published it on the newspaper. We didn't see any special people. Can you point out which ones are aliens?"”
The newspaper was soon sent to the host. The emcee opened the newspaper and waved it at the crowd." You guys took very good and clear photos. To take such photos from a distance, you must have very high skills.”He did not answer the question directly, which immediately attracted boos." However, I can tell you clearly that aliens are among them.”He handed the newspaper back to the people below.
"Have you seen aliens? Host." Someone asked.
Before he could answer, another person asked,"I'm from the television station. I heard that the aliens were captured on the day of the space shuttle launch, right?”
Upon hearing this, a series of surprised cries came from below. Everyone's gaze was pulled back to a few months ago.
"Yes, but let me correct you. I'm not capturing him, but protecting him.”the host replied.
"It's called protection, but it's actually control. Do aliens still have human freedom?”a media personnel asked.
"Watch your language. We are only protecting the safety of the aliens.”A consultant member beside the host replied," The aliens are very free and safe now.”
"When the aliens were at the Eternal Ancient Temple, I heard that there were many armed forces guarding the temple. The visitors were all isolated outside the temple, right?”someone asked.
The host immediately replied,"That's all for safety reasons. Because there are many people in the monastery, it's to prevent accidents."”
"The host has yet to answer the question just now. What do aliens look like?”Someone asked.
The host didn't answer directly. Instead, he asked," Didn't I show you the photo in the newspaper just now? Didn't you see it?”
" There are a lot of people in the photos in the newspaper," the man said unconvinced." I heard that there are only three aliens. Who are they?" Could the host point it out directly?”
The host smiled and said," I've never seen an alien before either. I can't say for sure what they look like."”As soon as he said this, it immediately caused an uproar below.
" You've never seen an alien before," one of them said rudely." You're here to host an alien's reception? What a joke."”
"I'm here to host a press conference on aliens. You don't have to have met an alien to be qualified.”The host humorously replied," I'm only here to answer your questions. Of course, I have to tell you what I know.”
"How can I answer questions about aliens without seeing them?”
" Can't you answer questions about aliens just because you haven't seen them?" the host asked. He paused for a moment before continuing," Everyone who came today is here for the alien news, which means that everyone is very concerned about this issue. As long as you pay attention to the reports about aliens during this period of time, you should have seen aliens long ago. I don't need to elaborate here. Everyone is here today for the alien news. Please ask some substantial questions so as not to waste everyone's limited time.”
Then, people raised a series of questions around the topic of aliens, some of which were even more pointed.
The host and a few advisors answered these questions one by one.
Someone said,"If you can control aliens, then others can control aliens too." What is your stance on this?"
Before the host could answer, another person rushed to say," I'm a staff member of the Earth Science Alliance." As soon as he said this, the noisy scene immediately quieted down. Everyone was ready to hear what he had to say. "The term 'alien' is used to describe the people on Earth. When aliens come to Earth, we humans have the right to receive them. But now, we can't see the aliens.”The meaning behind his words was complicated and could easily be misinterpreted.
One of the advisors took the microphone and replied,""First of all, the three aliens landed on our territory. Secondly, they are very similar to our people. It is said that they are our ancestors. Thirdly, they also set off from our land on Earth to explore the universe. Now, due to the passage of time, communication between the two sides was difficult. So they deserve to be received first by us, their descendants. He would consider the other issues when both sides could communicate.”
The host continued,"As for our attitude, the host has priority in receiving guests. As for receiving other people, they had to listen to what the aliens, our ancestors, had to say.”
When the staff of the Earth Science Alliance heard the two of them say this, they quickly explained,"It has been a while since the aliens came to Earth. We just want to see the aliens.”His attitude and tone were relatively gentle.
However, the people present did not think so. They all jeered and shouted, causing the scene to become noisy.
"We just want to meet the aliens and understand their living conditions."
"We want to know how the aliens explored the universe. When they came back, did they bring back any information about the universe?”
The host once again emphasized that there was a problem with communication with aliens and that they were working hard to solve this problem. After the communication problem was solved and the two sides could communicate freely, we would consider letting aliens meet the world.
Suddenly, someone asked loudly," Where are the aliens now?”
" For safety reasons, it's better not to tell us where the aliens are..." The host was interrupted before he could finish.
"That means the aliens are still under your care. Can we meet the aliens?" This person's tone was very rude." Or let the media interview the aliens.”
In the face of the request to interview aliens, the host did not directly refuse. He only said that this matter was of great importance and that he had to ask for instructions from his superiors before making a decision. Although these words caused a small commotion, the people present were helpless.
Under the instructions of the head of C Nation, Minister Li An immediately set up a working group dedicated to protecting aliens. He would be in charge of the command and would have full authority to deal with related matters. He was in charge of managing the daily life of the satellite base. In the end, it was decided that this organization would be under the direct leadership of the head of C Nation.
The head of C Nation met with the representative sent by the Earth Science Alliance at the State Affairs Hotel in the capital. He made it clear that it was not the time to interview the aliens yet. However, he finally agreed to consider the request of video communication with the aliens through satellite television, but it would depend on the preparations.
The head of C Nation immediately informed Minister Lee An to strengthen security measures and asked the assistant chief affairs officer to start preparations in this area and set up the venue for the satellite video exchange.
Minister Li An had grasped many clues about the activities of foreign agents in the country, but he did not dare to act rashly. He only ordered his subordinates to strictly monitor and strengthen the security of the satellite city. There were already 3,000 members of the special forces that had entered the satellite city, and they were ready to accept special missions at any time.
On the invisible battlefront, foreign agents were also preparing for a new round of battle. A large-scale battle could break out at any time. The smoke-free battlefield had always been pregnant with a bigger battle.
The safety of Li Mo and the other two was even more critical. The C Nation leader and Minister Li An were worried that something unexpected might happen again.
When Minister Li An reported to the head of C Nation, he asked,""The main force of the security department has been transferred to the Health Star City recently. Now, if the Earth Science Cooperation Alliance sends a delegation of experts to the capital, the defense force here will also be strengthened. They might need to mobilize more armed forces to assist.”
"For the alien incident, if you need any help, just say it. Use whatever resources you need. I'll give you the authority to temporarily mobilize the armed forces.”The head of C Nation agreed generously.
