Chapter 262: A Joke
It wasn't just Phoenix Group headquarters. Every department that had ordered missiles launched had received the message.
The Illuminati outpost in Port-au-Prince, Haiti's military bases, and even the advertising screen beside Amu, who had manually launched a missile, all displayed the same words!
Huang Ji and Amu watched a strange script appear on the screen.
Its characters were written in circles. They ran neither left to right nor top to bottom, but formed a single round shape.
The writing began at the center and spiraled clockwise outward, its characters joined together like a whirlpool.
The script and the way it was written alone conveyed a sense of depth and beauty.
Without a doubt, it was alien writing.
After the light sphere finished writing in its own language, Chinese, Hebrew, and English appeared beneath it: Were you attacking me just now? It was translating! Three Nirvana Adepts were at Phoenix Group headquarters. Their leader was Carmen, head of the Phoenix Group, current holder of the Phoenix title, supreme commander of the Illuminati's Combat Department, and reputedly the strongest Level 32.
He stared at the large screen, his face grave, almost ready to shut down.
Were they attacking the alien? Of course he couldn't say yes!
"That wasn't an attack. Please don't misunderstand. We were only playing a joke. Now that you're willing to communicate, I can explain. On Earth, we have a Non-Interference Protocol..." Carmen said.
He had been desperate when he ordered the attack. At least it had finally made the alien in the light sphere acknowledge them.
Did this alien know so little about Earth that it couldn't tell missiles were an attack? Or was it deliberately giving them a way out?
Carmen kept explaining the Non-Interference Protocol, though he thought aliens should already know
