Chapter 231: Chapter 229: There’s a Reason for Everything

"You want me, the Emperor, to be your translator? And during a state visit?" Zhao Ling pretended to be displeased but her tone was playful.

"Who else can I turn to but you?" Wei Tianyang said.

"Why do this? There must be a reason," Zhao Ling asked.

Wei Tianyang briefly explained the situation with the language virus and Lusimin City.

Zhao Ling fell silent.

After all, these things could already be considered national secrets, and Wei Tianyang was starting to feel like he was carrying out a black operation, having to clean up the mess left by President Fogen.

"I get it... you said you’ve already had some unpleasantness with Fogen’s side, right?" Zhao Ling said.

"I don’t like being surveilled, nor can I tolerate being deceived. I can’t be certain whether this language virus exists... but better safe than sorry," Wei Tianyang said.

"I’m worried this could cause a political incident," Zhao Ling expressed her concern.

"We’re talking over an encrypted channel, using Yin Country’s satellites. They won’t know," Wei Tianyang said.

"It’s not that I’m afraid of. What I mean is... as an Emperor, if Libitelli’s research poses a threat to my country, I will take action. But you know, Yin Country has many spies. The preparations I’ve made will definitely let Fogen know that I’ve learned of Lusimin’s situation through other channels," Zhao Ling said.

Wei Tianyang was silent; he had to admit that what Zhao Ling said was true.

The peace between nations is maintained through the balance of equivalent violence. If Lusimin’s research could break this balance, Zhao Ling would naturally need to respond, and such action is targeted, easily letting the opposition guess it’s to counter a specific threat.

"Even so, I still need to find out what exactly happened in Lusimin," Wei Tianyang said.

"Why do you care so much about this?" Zhao Ling asked.

"In truth, I don’t care what they’re researching, I just don’t want to become a politician’s tool. I can’t kill people just based on someone’s word; some deserve to die, some don’t," Wei Tianyang said.

Zhao Ling was silent for a moment, then said, "I understand you, Yang. This language virus can’t spread through telecommunication signals... right?"

"If it could spread through telecommunication signals, Libitelli would have been destroyed long ago," Wei Tianyang said.

"I’ll do you this favor. Don’t hang up the phone," Zhao Ling said.

"Good, from now on, you are my ears," Wei Tianyang said.

He connected his phone to a power bank, then tucked it into his side pocket for easy access, and turned off the tactical radio on his body. With that, he completely cut off contact with the Fogen Government and began his operation in his own way.

Wei Tianyang was running through the dark streets, where he could still see the occasional civilian walking with large and small bags in hand.

Some of these people, fearful of getting involved, turned and walked away as soon as they saw Wei Tianyang; others, bold enough, took out their phones to take pictures of him.

He wanted to approach and ask questions, but as soon as he moved toward them, they would turn and flee in terror.

This only made Wei Tianyang more certain that whatever the previous teams had done, it was definitely not the "rescue" as described by Fogen.

Half an hour later, Wei Tianyang arrived at another hospital, smaller in scale, but there were people inside.

Lights were on in the windows of the main building, and patients were still receiving IV drips in the emergency room, with wall-mounted TVs even broadcasting the news.

Wei Tianyang walked into the emergency hall on the first floor, drawing the sideways gazes of everyone there, their eyes filled with fear and anxiety, and their hands paused from whatever they were doing.

The voice of a reporter came from the television:

"This station reports... The disease that spreads through language is still expanding, the military has advised people not to go out, not to converse with anyone other than family members, and to refrain from speaking unless necessary. President Fogen has already assembled a research team..."

Wei Tianyang watched the television when his phone vibrated.

He took it out to see that he was still on the line when a message from Zhao Ling came through.

"Someone spoke a word in Libitelli, ’liar’, and another shouted ’Get out.’"

He looked towards the people in the emergency hall and said, "I would like to ask some questions, and I hope someone among you will be able to answer me."

A few nurses glanced at him, then lowered their heads and walked back to the wards; people in the hospital receiving IV drips also bowed their heads and looked at their phones, not daring to make eye contact with him.

"Who just told me to ’get out’? And who called me a ’liar’? Step forward," Wei Tianyang said with a smile.

Still, no one in the hall made a sound.

Wei Tianyang sighed.

At that moment, a crippled Caucasian man with a broken arm stood up; he appeared to be in his late twenties, with delicate features and a full beard, his sclera yellowed and his blue eyes discolored as if he were suffering from cataracts.

The man’s lips moved, and after a while, Wei Tianyang’s phone vibrated.

"Who are you? Where are you from? How can we trust you?"

After reading the message, Wei Tianyang quickly replied, "I’m a war observer from the United Council."

As soon as he finished speaking, those who had previously spoken ill of him and had avoided eye contact suddenly changed their expression upon hearing the translated language from the earpiece.

"You’re not military? The government has put us under lockdown, and the rest of the world doesn’t know about this," the man said, somewhat doubtful but showing a glimmer of hope.

"I was sent by them, but I don’t have to listen to them. And, from what I’ve seen, things don’t seem to add up with what they’re saying. I want to know what exactly is happening here," Wei Tianyang explained.

"It’s a long story. Ever since that company from Churi Country came here, things have completely changed," the man said.

"Hasegawa Pharmaceutical, right? The Fogen Government had them doing some strange research here. I’ve previously encountered someone in the hospital who was bleeding black blood from all orifices, what exactly is going on?" Wei Tianyang continued to inquire.

"You might not believe it if I tell you, but that pharmaceutical company created something, then, the city government distributed it to every household through the municipal water supply, and every single one of us got infected," the man said.

"What?!" Wei Tianyang was startled, and then another message popped up on his phone.

"You need to make sure if this person is lying or not. It wouldn’t be the first time something like this has happened, but a country like Libitelli wouldn’t do this to its own people," Zhao Ling sent a message.

"In the hospital, there have been many cases of black-blood deaths in the past few weeks. A while back, a lot of military personnel came, they started firing at residential buildings, and I saw people jumping out to fight them hand-to-hand, ultimately getting shot dead," the man said again.

"Jumping out? From how high?" Wei Tianyang asked.

"About six or seven floors. Clearly, the pharmaceutical company is using the whole city as an experiment," the man said.

"Now it’s my turn to consider whether or not to believe you... Your country isn’t some small place like Chicken Snake Country. Libitelli is one of the Western Alliance’s major nations, with strong economic and military power. Your government doesn’t need to do this. Even if they did, they would pick a small country from East Continent..." Wei Tianyang shook his head.

"Let me tell you, it’s because Lusimin is causing a commotion for independence," the man said.
