Chapter 165: Chapter 163: Social Experiment

Robson left the room with a smile, and then the soldier closed the door. Wei Tianyang heard the sound of the door being locked from the outside.

Du Ming quickly went forward to try it and found that the handle wouldn’t turn; it was indeed locked.

Wei Tianyang asked, "Did you anticipate this situation?"

Du Ming shook his head, saying, "I never thought they would go to such extremes! To actually place us under house arrest... It’s a complete disrespect for the United Council!"

Wei Tianyang huffed and strode to the balcony, looking around. On the balcony of the adjoining room, two men in jackets were drinking beer and glancing over at Wei Tianyang occasionally.

Without even thinking, it was clear these men were from the Yixu Army, sent to monitor them.

He walked back into the room, where Du Ming was fiddling with his phone.

"The entire building is filled with their people, next door there are undercover agents watching us," Wei Tianyang said.

"Wei! I have no signal on my phone; there’s definitely a signal-jamming device on top of this hotel," Du Ming said.

Wei Tianyang laughed, "This hotel was prepared just for us."

"We only have four days. Have you thought about what to do?" asked Du Ming.

Wei Tianyang pulled out his phone, typed a line of text in a notepad app, and then passed the phone to Du Ming.

After reading it, Du Ming nodded.

There were undoubtedly surveillance cameras and bugs installed in the room; every move they made was being watched. They couldn’t go anywhere or contact anyone during these four days.

But Wei Tianyang didn’t care about that. He had the ability to leave this place as if no one was around, to go anywhere on this land.

Having received a hint from Wei Tianyang, Du Ming fell silent, tilting his head as he surveyed every corner of the room, trying to locate the cameras, while Wei Tianyang picked up the remote control.

On the wall at the foot of the two beds was a small projector. Wei Tianyang pressed the switch, and a 52-inch rectangular area lit up.

He used the channel up and down buttons and discovered there were only three channels: one was a local cooking show, one a political discussion program, and the last a news channel.

Wei Tianyang stopped on the political program and sat at the foot of the bed to watch quietly.

Du Ming, feeling helpless, shook his head and started looking for the surveillance and recording equipment throughout the room.

On TV, several well-dressed men and women were discussing the current war situation. Although their own country was at war, they seemed very relaxed.

"This war has been going on for two years now, why don’t we use nuclear weapons against those demons?" the male host asked.

"It involves an environmental issue; ultimately, we are planning to develop new seaside resorts and golf courses there. The pollution from nuclear weapons is too extensive," explained the white-haired expert.

"Speaking of ocean views, the coast at White Moon Beach in Azaha is very beautiful. We’re going to demolish the houses there, so that when you look at the sea, you won’t see any buildings. That would be ideal," a somewhat plump lady chimed in.

"President Niya Ta has promised us to end the war by this fall, and now July is almost over. Do you think we’ll achieve that goal?" the male host asked again.

"If we deploy the Superpower Special Department and use bombers to drop white phosphorus and thermobaric bombs, I estimate the fighting could end by early September. Remember, there are more than 10 million demons in Azaha; we cannot eradicate them safely and quickly with ground forces and limited missiles," the white-haired expert said.

"We all know that the Superpower Special Department is currently the most powerful wartime weapon of this era, but we Yixu people don’t have this power ourselves. Can we request other countries, or the United Council, to provide support?" the host asked.

"The Superpower Special Department is, in essence, a mix of the unclean blood of lowlifes and Heavenly Falling Objects. We Yixu people would definitely not want to become like that, but other countries have so far not offered us help proactively, which puzzles me," the white-haired expert said.

"Yes, they clearly have several Superpower Special Departments, but they have never reached out a helping hand to us. Instead, they keep asking us to cease fire at the United Council meetings, which is completely unreasonable," the plump lady said.

"I think it boils down to their envy and jealousy of our lineage; they are not protected by the True God, Rada Gan," the host said with a laugh.

"That’s also my concern. Because they can’t be sheltered by Rada Gan, they deny his existence. They even fabricated a True God in Azaha, which I find utterly nonsensical," said the expert.

"When you mention that madman, I just feel disgusted. All I hope now is that President Niya Ta puts pressure on countries around the world, forcing them to provide us with superpower special forces. To my knowledge, four local companies in Yixu have already taken on the reconstruction project for Azaha Beach, just waiting for the war to end," the portly lady said.

Wei Tianyang changed channels and turned to the news channel, where Yixu’s national news station was introducing the frontline situation to the people with videos and pictures.

He saw a dozen Yixu soldiers posing for a photo atop the rubble of a tank. The next second, six infantrymen were engaged in CQB inside a building. The host reported on the battle results non-stop, mostly good news.

Then, the news switched to another story, showing a white-haired old man in his 60s shaking hands with other leaders from Earth Sea Middle Continent.

"President Niya Ta, yesterday at the President Mansion in Lazarus, met with President Boss Dong from Ramaqiya, who was visiting Yixu, to discuss the new round of trade negotiations. The meeting will last for three days, and the two countries will reach..."

"President Niya Ta spoke last night in the presidential office..."

The white-haired man spoke sternly and indignantly at the television screen.

"We will not cease fire until the demons are completely annihilated! All countries around the world should assist us, or it is a disrespected towards Yixu. Any country, group, or individual trying to make us cease fire is an enemy of Yixu! We do not accept any ceasefire agreement! We will completely eradicate the demons from the land blessed by the True God!"

Wei Tianyang watched Niya Ta, memorizing his face.

President Niya Ta was right there in the President Mansion in Lazarus.

He turned off the television and, as it happened, Du Ming had just come out of the bathroom, tossing three tiny listening devices onto the bed.

The microphones had been sabotaged by Du Ming, and now they could speak freely.

"One was hidden in the headboard, one in the bathroom, and one stuffed inside the vase on the table. This is definitely a violation of international law," Du Ming said.

"Don’t they care? Won’t they come looking for trouble after you’ve damaged these things?" asked Wei Tianyang.

Du Ming shook his head, "I think they’ll come back to the room and set up new ones after we leave tomorrow."

Saying this, he picked up the listening devices and tossed them out onto the balcony.

Wei Tianyang asked, "What about surveillance cameras? Did you find any?"

Du Ming said, "There’s one on the television, it was recording you. There should also be concealed ones in the four corners of the room; without tools, I can’t get them out. But there aren’t any in the bathroom. I guess they don’t want to watch people taking a shit."

Wei Tianyang looked around the ceiling but didn’t spot anything suspicious. "I didn’t notice anything."

"Heheh~ that’s my specialty. Fortunately, this is an old building, with all the wiring on the outside of the walls. If you look at the base of the wall, there are three stretches of wire that are neither network cables nor power lines. They run up the wall corner to the ceiling. What else could they be for, if not surveillance?" Du Ming said with a laugh.

"Are you certain there’s nothing in the bathroom?" Wei Tianyang asked.

"Nothing, but what’s the point of hiding in the bathroom? There are people watching outside the balcony, soldiers by the door, and monitoring and listening devices in the room... We can’t even start our mission. We can only hope for an opportunity tomorrow," Du Ming said.

Wei Tianyang smiled without a word, grabbed the roll of paper from the table, and headed to the bathroom.

"Holding it all this way?" Du Ming said with a laugh.

"Yeah, might take a while. If they come asking for me in the meantime, help me explain. Don’t let them knock on the bathroom door; I don’t like being rushed," Wei Tianyang said.

Du Ming shook his head with a smile.

Wei Tianyang walked into the narrow bathroom, just enough room for one person, facing a yellowed toilet, with a wall-mounted shower head to the left and a washbasin to the right, and a small round mirror hanging on the wall.

He locked the bathroom door, set the roll of paper on the water tank, and then everything around him darkened as he switched into objective reality.

When he emerged again, the room was empty, only Du Ming’s black Shadow stood frozen in the middle of the room. He walked out of the guest room, encountering only soldiers’ black shadows in the hallway.

He didn’t know where the President Mansion in Lazarus was, but it wouldn’t be hard to find...

President Niya Ta, I hope your death brings peace to both our nations...
