Shore was preoccupied as he walked down the narrow hallway leading to the BPRD main boardroom, fiddling with the uncomfortable collar around his neck, which along with the unhealed scars on his face were the marks of the fierce battle two weeks earlier.

The full name of B.P.R.D. is Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense.

Its headquarters is located about 30 meters underground from the United Nations headquarters on Manhattan Island in New York, USA, and is a covert operation organization affiliated with the United Nations Security Council.

The predecessor of the BPRD can be traced back to the nineteenth century. At that time, the countries of the world were becoming more and more connected, and the threats faced by mankind were also increasing with this close connection, for example, cults such as the Old God Cult and the Satanist Sect were spreading all over the world with the help of this trend.

In response to these new threats, organizations around the world that fight against the occult threat are gradually coming together to fight in concert with each other. But with the outbreak of the two world wars, many organizations had to hide from the flames of war so that their might might not be exploited by both sides of the war. This has led to a stagnation in joint progress.

Finally, the war ended. Almost all the people were celebrating victory and peace. And only those who have been secretly guarding humanity understand that the real threat has never gone away.

In 1945, the greatest global organization in human history was founded. And its creation gives hope to all organizations fighting the occult threat to unite all of humanity to create a new organization to deal with the threat.

As a result, organizations from various countries have sent representatives to put forward the idea of this plan with representatives of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council, namely, China, the United States, Russia, Britain, and France. After much painstaking efforts, the UN Security Council finally agreed to the proposal to form such an organization, with representatives from the five major members of the Security Council as its leading body. At the same time, it is also clear that the main purpose of the organization's actions is to fight against all known or unknown supernatural threats, protect the lives of all mankind, and achieve the ultimate goal of protecting the entire world.

From there, the organization known as the BPRD was born, a powerful and covert military operations and investigation organization composed of paranormal people, elite soldiers, and occult scholars from all over the world. With the most powerful military force and the bravest and most loyal warriors in human history, the BPRD is now the front line and the most solid barrier against the threat of supernatural forces, and Shore and his operations are part of this great organization.

But Shore had clearly arrived at the headquarters with annoyance and anger today, and from the moment he entered the underground gate of the headquarters to the present, almost everyone had been looking at him with strange and surprised eyes, as if he himself was the target of the public, which made him feel particularly unhappy.

He pushed open the door of the conference room, only to be surprised to find that he was greeted by his best Chinese friend in the organization. "Ye thought, how could it be you?" Shore asked in fluent Chinese with a surprised voice.

Ye Xiang is a handsome and sturdy young man, he always has short black hair, and carries a slender but majestic meteoric steel Tang knife "Dawn" behind him, which makes people feel extraordinarily uninhibited and free. But what impressed Shore the most was his bright eyes that always carried wisdom and calmness, the black pupils seemed to be able to read the inner thoughts of others, and Ye Xiang could always see the difficulties of others at a glance and enthusiastically help, which was one of the most important reasons why he could become one of the few close friends of Shore.

But Ye Xiang's eyes were more mixed with worry and uneasiness today, and he reached out and patted Shore on the shoulder, "I'm sorry for Kane's matter. He whispered to him, "But I must come to warn you, and you must remember that you must not say anything drastic, or I will not be able to figure out what outrageous the Council has decided." ”

Xiao Er nodded gratefully at Ye Xiang, and Ye Xiang also hugged him as if relieved before turning to leave.

Shore took a deep breath and cautiously walked into the conference room. On the raised platform of the conference room, representatives of the five major powers, as well as Commander-in-Chief Rajer, were sitting in their respective seats. Seeing Shore enter, the commander smiled at him without speaking, and then motioned with his eyes for him to sit down on a chair in the center of the room. The representatives of the five major powers were silent, just constantly looking him up and down with their eyes.

Finally, the American representative broke the embarrassing silence. He lifted the glasses that had slipped on the bridge of his nose, and first questioned Shore in a slightly solemn tone: "Captain Shore, regarding your report on your actions in Hagrid, France, two weeks ago, we would like to express our condolences and admiration for the sacrifices you and your subordinates have made. But," he said in a scathing voice, he suddenly changed his words, "We are deeply suspicious of the presence of the two demon lords you said were there, because the intelligence agencies of the BPRD have not submitted any information on this matter, which makes us have to consider the truth of what you say. ”

Suspicion!? Shorel felt his anger welling up in his heart, he really couldn't accept others questioning the value of his brother's sacrifice, how could these nerds who only talk on paper understand the cruelty of war, how could they understand the feelings of those brave soldiers before they died to protect the world.

Unable to suppress his emotions any longer, he impulsively jumped up from his chair and replied in an unceremonious tone: "Then you mean that I am lying! Do you think that the mere mere act of a 'non-threatening' demon as pointed out in the intelligence can wipe out my entire operational force? Or do you question the cause of my brothers' deaths and want to deny that they died like heroes?"

"Please don't get too excited, Commander Shore, no one questions the heroic actions of you and your teammates, and now please sit down. The representative of Britain reminded in an arrogant tone. Shore calmed himself down a little, and sat down quietly, following the words of the British representative.

"Are you trying to say that the information produced by our intelligence agencies is false?" the Chinese representative asked him in a cautious tone characteristic of Asians. Shore swallowed hard and replied to the Chinese delegates: "Yes, Mr. Deputy. ”

"Then why do you think there is such an omission?" asked the Chinese representative, who did not take his eyes off Shore.

Shore did not answer his question immediately, but instead remained silent and glanced at everyone present with a serious and determined gaze, as if he had made such a determination that every word he said sounded so firm and powerful when he spoke. "There is only one possibility, there is a betrayer within us, and this betrayer is hidden deep in!"

Before he could finish his words, the delegates of various countries exploded. They were talking, some arguing with each other, others looking at Shore with a contemptuous eye, but Commander Rajer sat calmly and steadily in his place as if he had known that things would turn out like this.

Shore clasped his hands to his chest and waited quietly for the delegates to stop arguing. Eventually, the room was quiet again, and the delegates were now just looking at each other with complicated eyes.

At this moment, Commander Rajel stood up, and all eyes were on him. He shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and said in a flat tone: "Maybe there are traitors among us, but whether it is true or not, arguing is a completely useless move. Now there is only one thing we should do, Commander Shore. He suddenly turned to Shore and said. "I want to ask you to re-lead an elite squad, of course, the selection of the new squad is up to me and the Council to choose, and let you thoroughly investigate the truth of this matter, I think you should have no objections, right?"

"I will pledge with my life and the glory of being a warrior that I will find out about this matter. Shore replied to the commander in a firm voice.

"Now it's up to you and your squad, Captain Shore, and I'm confident that you're capable of accomplishing this difficult task. Rajer's sonorous voice echoed throughout the room. "May the courage of mankind always be with you, and with the determination to win, to annihilate the evil of the world!"

Shore is ready for the cruelest fate on earth.
