People Found Out About The Base I Built On the Moon

Chapter 905: Chapter 108: Spirit World Invasion_5

“My name is He Min, and I will answer all the questions you want to know…”

The woman’s smile was radiant, giving Zhao Yu a feeling as refreshing as a spring breeze.

Zhao Yu cut to the chase and asked, “I want to know, what exactly is going on here?!”

“Simply put, you’ve encountered an invasion from the Spirit World…”

“Spirit World invasion?!”

Zhao Yu felt as if he had latched onto something significant.

“That’s right!”

He Min nodded and said, “Our world can be referred to as the surface world and the inner world…”

“The surface world is what ordinary people can see, akin to the human realm…”

“The inner world is known as the Spirit World…”

“How the Spirit World came into existence, we don’t know, but according to scientists’ speculation, it might be a derivative or secondary parallel world of our surface world…”

He Min smiled and said, “You can think of the Spirit World as being born around our world…”

“The monsters you encountered are known as spirit monsters…”

“They basically arise from human thought, emotions, and other such factors…”

Listening to He Min’s explanation, Zhao Yu gradually understood that the vortex he had just passed through must have been the transition from the Spirit World back to the human realm.

He took the initiative to ask, “Then why have I never heard anything about the Spirit World or spirit monsters from childhood to adulthood? Is it because you have been deliberately hiding it?!”

“Yes!”

He Min nodded and explained, “Our Global Express company was established by a joint effort of the upper echelons of all countries around the world and possesses the highest global authority…”

“On the surface, it’s just an express delivery company, but in reality, we have the ability to mobilize any country’s unit to cooperate in the event of a Spirit World invasion…”

“Just like this time, we mobilized the Strength of Yan Country to seal off the site…”

He Min’s face showed a hint of pride, as if it were an honor to work for Global Express.

“Yan Country Airlines…”

Zhao Yu suddenly noticed the name tag on He Min’s uniform and couldn’t help but read it aloud.

He Min explained, “Of course, like other employees dealing with spirit monsters, those of us in clerical positions also have cover jobs on the surface…”

“For those of us who need to appear in various places frequently, what could be more suitable than a flight attendant?!”

Zhao Yu suddenly realized that the employees of Global Express were not only couriers but also flight attendants, and perhaps other professions as well.

“As for why the news must be blocked, that’s because the spirit monsters from the Spirit World feed on human emotions and feelings…”

He Min shook her head and said, “In history, there was once a public event involving the Spirit World…”

“It was a catastrophe. After absorbing a large amount of ordinary people’s fear, panic, and despair, the spirit monsters’ strength grew recklessly, and invasions into the human realm became rampant…”

“In the end, it led to the most famous and most tragic apocalypse war in world history…”

The apocalypse war was something Zhao Yu remembered learning about at school.

It happened on Titan Star over ten thousand years ago, and it was said that at that time, all the countries of the world went mad with warfare, almost to the point of extinction.

Just during that century, the population decreased by ninety percent, and a vast number of people died in that long-lasting battle.

“Are you saying there was something wrong with that apocalypse war?!” Zhao Yu sharply sensed it.

“Exactly!”

He Min nodded and said, “The origin of the apocalypse war was due to some recklessly spreading the news of the Spirit World to the general public, leading to an exponential increase in spirit monsters’ strength and their rampant invasion into the human realm…”

“It can be said that the first half of the war was the battle between humans and spirit monsters, and the second half was solely about covering up any trace of the existence of the Spirit World and spirit monsters…”

“It was after that apocalypse war that the human leaders agreed, no matter how great the differences, that they could not allow spirit monsters to grow so unrestrained again.”

“It’s said that at one point the population had decreased to just seven billion, nearly leading to extinction…”

He Min shared her sentiments and continued, “So, that is why we go to such lengths to conceal the news from the general public.”

“Of course, the reason I’m telling you this is that you’ve personally experienced an event involving the Spirit World and need to sign a confidentiality agreement with us…”

Zhao Yu casually picked up the confidentiality agreement and found that it contained many clauses, including allowing Global Express to monitor all his electronic devices.

This left him speechless, “Can I not sign this?”

“If you don’t sign, then we’ll have to send you back to the Spirit World…”

He Min said this jokingly, but Zhao Yu couldn’t feel an ounce of lightness in her words; clearly, it was something they’d done plenty of times before.

It meant that without signing the confidentiality agreement, he could not hope to return to the human world normally.

An ordinary person wouldn’t last long in a place like the Spirit World.

Of course, Zhao Yu would sign, but what he needed to do now was gather intelligence.

So, he naturally inquired about the staff who possessed formidable strength.

“They have had close encounters with spirit monsters during their time among ordinary people…”

He Min lamented and said, “In our company, there are actually two types of professions…”

“One is the warrior class, the other is the clerical staff…”

“Like me, I’m part of the clerical staff, responsible for logistical work, such as explaining certain things to you now and assisting you in signing the confidentiality agreement…”

“Whereas staff like those you saw in the first layer of the Spirit World, they are the warrior class and have the strength to confront spirit monsters head-on…”

She paused, then added, “Actually, I was almost assigned to the warrior class myself. Unfortunately, the staff arrived just in time to prevent me from coming into contact with that spirit monster…”
