Because it happened on Christmas Eve, everyone on the Internet and in the audience called it this——

【EVEGATE】

Of course, this is not the only name, but it is the most widely spread name after the neon incident caused a huge impact. After all... the timing is very coincidental.

If nothing else, this widely spread name will most likely become the official name used to record the first contact between another world and this world in history.

"Of course, that land is not recorded on the map, and it is not anywhere on the earth.

We don't know what kind of world there is on the other side of the door.

What kind of natural environment, what kind of species system, what kind of humanistic environment, what kind of technological level, what kind of religious beliefs, and what kind of governing institutions are all unclear.

These will also be the future work contents and goals of us and everyone here.

Do you have any questions?"

Standing in front of the conference room, the young man in the center asked.

Even though he knew that each of the people below had great power in this country, he showed no signs of stage fright.

Because he knows that he is just a reporter, and he believes that he will have a place among them in the future. More importantly, his surname is Gong Zhang.

"How much do we know about it now?"

A middle-aged man in a suit on the left asked.

"Since last night, through a series of intelligence work such as battles, interrogations, and autopsy, we have learned some information that is relatively reliable at this stage.

The first thing that can be confirmed is language. I don’t know what kind of mechanism is operating. We and the other party obviously speak completely different languages, but after these languages ​​​​enter the brains of our interrogators, they can understand them very clearly.

mean.

We later found out that as long as people have entered the radiation range of the [Gate], which is approximately three thousand meters in diameter, they can communicate with intelligent life in other worlds without any barriers during subsequent conversations.

Except for text, except English, Chinese, Japanese, and Russian.

After experiments, we know that electromagnetic signals cannot pass through the [Gate]. Therefore, we can only use wired detection robots for reconnaissance work.

We later confirmed it through interrogation and wired drone inspections.

[Gate] The land over there is a wasteland called [Anubis]. The surrounding terrain is flat and nominally belongs to the territory of a country called [Bahnus Empire].

The name seems to have nothing to do with the god of death in Egyptian mythology, but is simply a place name.

During the battle last night, our helicopter formation shot down four alien species, code-named [Wyvern], all of which were confirmed to be killed; code-named [Goblin] killed more than 300 and captured about a hundred; code-named [Goblin] killed more than 300, and captured about a hundred; code-named [Goblin]

Giant monsters] killed about fifty and captured about a hundred; code name [pig-headed man] killed about four hundred and captured about fifty; [knights and horses] killed sixty-four and captured two hundred and thirty-six.

The rest include an estimated one thousand soldiers of the presumed human species, three commander-level self-proclaimed imperial nobles, and six [professionals] confirmed to have used supernatural abilities with their personal escorts.

Five new species have appeared alone, and specific DNA measurement data have not yet been obtained.

It is confirmed that only the [Wyvern] and the six [Professionals] of the Noble Guard can use the supernatural ability called [Magic], but among them, the [Magic] ability with the highest destructive power - [Wyvern's]

Breath] will not exceed three kilograms of TNT explosives.

It is judged that it does not pose a threat for the time being.

The above is all the credible information as of two hours ago."

Following the explanation of the young reporter, some pictures of the scene will appear on the big screen behind him in a timely manner to help everyone present understand the situation.

Whenever there are photos of some very strange-looking species, there will be exclamations in the conference room from time to time. After all, the facts are always too incredible.

"Within the radiation range of the door, is the power that allows us to understand the speech of people in other worlds also the kind of [magic] power?

What effect does it have on our bodies?”

A voice came from behind on the right side.

"To be precise, it should allow us to understand what people from other worlds say, and at the same time, allow people from other worlds to understand what we say.

As for whether it is [magic], there is no specific way to tell at this stage.

To be precise, it should be that for all supernatural phenomena related to [magic], we have no way to determine how they work."

Various voices erupted from the audience again, this time it lasted a little longer.

You can still vaguely hear something similar to——

“Isn’t our technology universal?”

"Is it a different world or another planet in the universe?"

"Is it possible for our people to learn that kind of [magic]?"

…………

When such voices gathered together, it was very lively for a while, and there was no sense of seriousness as a national governing body.

This can also be regarded as a feature of the Neon Congress Hall.

"Everyone, please be quiet for a moment!~"

The man sitting in the center, known as the Prime Minister, stood up.

"How is the aftermath of the victims on the streets of Ginza being done?"

"The bodies of a total of 167 people have been collected and sorted, and the work of contacting and confirming the victims' families is in progress. However, because the truth of the incident has not yet been made public, some work cannot be carried out.

At that time, medical treatment and comfort work had been done for the witnesses at that time, but there was no general direction for the compensation work."

The Prime Minister's tired face became sad again.

"Everyone has heard that there is actually not much road ahead of us now. Things cannot be hidden. We need to give an explanation to the living citizens before the end of this meeting."

"Mr. Prime Minister, our citizens were massacred on our own land, and the enemy's army was encamped on our streets. Now that this is happening, isn't there only one way to deal with it?

If there are people on the other side of the door, we can go there.

Isn’t this our chance now?”

The Prime Minister's face turned even paler when he heard the thin man on the right who spoke cleverly and avoided the blame for speaking out.

"...Sit down first, Mr. Shanbei. I think everyone understands now that we don't have many choices, but...what I want to say is...

Who will bear the responsibility for this decision?"

As soon as the word "responsibility" fell, the whole place became silent and returned to silence.

This lasted for less than three seconds. The young intelligence officer just received a look from someone below and spoke:

"I'm very sorry, Mr. Prime Minister.

In fact, there is information that has not been completely confirmed, but is very likely, and my subordinates have not announced it just yet."

"...Tell me, if the possibility is very high in this situation, just tell me."

The Prime Minister has given up on himself.

"Yes, according to what the intruder [Commander] said, there is an unknown number of [General Forces] on the other side of the door waiting for news. The more than 2,000 people who appeared in Ginza are just the vanguard.

And our troops stationed outside the door did catch the [messenger] who kept coming from the other side of the door.

But only the wired drone did not find anyone within the effective range.”

By the time he finished speaking, the Prime Minister knew that he would definitely not be able to escape.

And the final death knell also sounded at this time.

There was a knock on the door, and then a man who looked like a secretary hurried in and handed the folder in his hand to the young man who was reporting.

After reading the information in his hand, he couldn't hide the surprise on his face.

"Tell me, what's the bad news again?"

The Prime Minister accepted his fate.

"...I just received information from the beautiful and strong country and China.

In the border area of ​​the beautiful and strong country of Ghana, a door to another world appeared, from which a large number of seawater and alien monsters emerged.

At the foot of the Tianshan Mountains in China, a door to another world appeared. A huge dragon-shaped creature crawled out of it and stayed outside the door to fall asleep.

At the same time, both countries requested us to provide specific information on the Ginza Gate after disclosing the information."

"...What does this mean? You actually take the initiative to provide intelligence to other countries?"

The first thought that came to the Prime Minister's mind, but after thinking about it for a moment, his face lost the last trace of color.

Then at this time, the military minister on the left spoke first:

"Mr. Prime Minister, the time has come to make a decision."

"...the proposal begins.

Form a vanguard and march to the other side of the door. The task is to investigate the unexplored area.

Then there was the information about the Ginza incident... The U.S. side declined, but the Chinese side offered to cooperate.

All responsibility rests with me."

After issuing the last order, there was a mixture of joy and anger in the conference room, and the Prime Minister knew that his career as a governor had ended at this moment.

Taking responsibility means being a scapegoat. There is no such thing as perfect consequences.
Chapter completed!
