Chapter 783: Chapter 487: The Aura of Invincibility (2)

If we can provoke him into action, then the truth about "Wang Ye" will be self-evident.

As for their lives, they are nothing compared to their country’s grand undertaking.

They came without the intention of returning alive.

Wu Chen remained silent, coldly watching the soldier in uniform at his feet and the dozens of soldiers behind him.

At this moment, Wu Chen wasn’t as tough as he appeared on the surface; internally, he was bearing immense pressure.

He wasn’t truly Wang Ye and didn’t possess Wang Ye’s invincible combat prowess. If the soldiers in front of him launched an attack, he would likely be killed on the spot.

He couldn’t act against these people, as he lacked the courage and strength; any action would instantly reveal his true identity.

Thinking of this, Wu Chen’s fingertips slightly trembled, but he forcibly suppressed the trembling of his body.

If he faltered now, it would endanger not only himself but possibly the entire country.

So, he had to muster his courage and endure.

At the very least, he had to hold on until the few in front of him left.

Only then could he delay matters for the country and Wang Ye as much as possible.

Facing Wu Chen’s icy gaze, the soldier in uniform also confidently met his eyes without avoiding them.

The two of them continued to stare at each other for about two minutes.

The surrounding soldiers were puzzled, not understanding what the two were doing.

Finally, after several minutes, the soldier in uniform seemed to realize something and smiled slightly.

Without speaking, he turned around, reboarded the helicopter, and ordered the soldiers to start up the helicopter to return to the United States.

As the helicopter’s rotors started again, they departed with a "thump thump thump" sound.

Watching the helicopter fly away, Wu Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief and gradually descended to the ground. Although the standoff lasted only a few minutes, it greatly exhausted his telekinesis. Moreover, psychological factors were crucial; during the confrontation, he knew if his body had trembled even slightly, it would have exposed his flaws, so he didn’t dare relax at all.

Wu Chen sat down to restore his energy while carefully recalling the soldier in uniform’s behavior.

For some reason, he couldn’t shake the feeling that the soldier in uniform seemed to have noticed something.

Wu Chen considered that his performance just now should be over eighty percent similar to Wang Ye’s. Unless someone lived with Wang Ye day and night, it would be hard to spot differences, and even if they noticed subtle differences, various external factors might cause them to overlook details.

Because the human brain has the function of fixing bugs, when a person sees something incomprehensible or potentially harmful, the brain restructures cognition to prevent danger and harm.

This phenomenon is known as the "psychological immune system."

The psychological immune system is not a biological defense system; it is a set of automatic mental regulation mechanisms activated by the brain to maintain psychological health.

For example, when someone realizes they made a mistake with serious consequences, the brain unconsciously evaluates the actions taken, hypnotizing themselves into thinking they did their best and the cause was beyond their control, further reducing the event’s psychological impact.

This behavior is commonly known as finding excuses.

Many people unconsciously find excuses for their actions and for things they don’t understand. This isn’t a character flaw, but rather the brain’s self-defense mechanism and psychological immune system.

Additionally, when someone sees a rapidly moving object, it creates a visual persistence effect, a principle used in early animations. This is also a result of the psychological immune system, mainly to prevent being killed by swiftly moving objects in nature. Upon seeing something very discordant, the brain repairs the bug, like a photo of a woman with her features flipped, which most people find normal until flipped back. Some visual bug images online are created using this principle, and were popular on the internet years ago.

When someone notices a familiar object with slight detail changes, the brain, to conserve energy spent thinking, also reconstructs cognition, making one wrongly believe it’s a memory lapse.

Only a few individuals can potentially control their psychological immune system and directly perceive the essence of things.

And Wu Chen subconsciously felt that the soldier in uniform seemed to have discovered something.

On the returning helicopter, a soldier worriedly asked, "Sir, what should we do? Wang Ye has really returned to Earth; should we proceed with our plan?"

The soldier in uniform’s face darkened, saying, "No, he isn’t Wang Ye."

The soldier was slightly stunned and quickly responded, "Not Wang Ye? But that person can fly, who else besides Wang Ye in the world can fly?"

"Indeed, we have already checked, there’s no equipment or hover device nearby; that guy truly flies," another soldier added.

"Correct, he can fly and has other extraordinary abilities." The soldier in uniform nodded, coldly saying, "But he is definitely not Wang Ye, I’m certain."

"He merely possesses Wang Ye’s semblance and some external abilities, but lacks Wang Ye’s invincible presence."

"Invincible presence?" The soldiers showed puzzled expressions.

"I have seen Wang Ye in person. His invincible presence is like the brightest star in the night sky, overshadowing all of us; it’s an inner sense of invincibility no one else can replicate," the soldier in uniform said. "Including that person, I didn’t see any of that presence in him; he was just pretending all along. Human subconscious cannot hide; his body language told me he was afraid, he was not truly invincible."

Upon hearing this, the surrounding soldiers fell silent.

Among everyone present, the soldier in uniform was the only one who had met Wang Ye, making him the most familiar with Wang Ye.

They had no doubts about whether the world’s foremost figure would possess such unique presence.

Typically, those in high positions generate a sort of pressure when facing those at lower levels.

And the greater the disparity in status and strength, the stronger this pressure becomes. It doesn’t entirely stem from internal fantasies, but from the aura of true power holders who grasp resources and more cosmic energy. Dark Energy that many humans struggle to perceive directly surrounds such figures, causing the air to thicken, affecting others’ brainwaves.

Just as massive planets exert gravitational pull on smaller ones, engulfing them, this disparity applies to human society as well.

The more perceptive a person is, the stronger their perception of this pressure, and the soldier in uniform, who has navigated countless battlefields, encountering various people, has exceptional perceptive abilities. Thus, his perception of Wang Ye’s aura is the clearest.

The soldier in uniform paused, seemingly recalling the scene in detail. Wang Ye casually crushed a person, standing in the exploded blood mist, surrounded by countless helicopters, yet his gaze was like a frozen cold pool, showing no fluctuations, only bone-chilling coldness and terror-inducing menace.

"I saw no fear in Wang Ye’s eyes; he possessed absolute confidence and pride, even if the world collapsed, he would stand alone atop the mountain, holding up the sky with one hand. This aura, I remember, in China, is usually referred to as, Emperor’s Qi."
