The news of the destruction of St. Peter's Basilica shocked the whole world overnight. The UN Security Council had to convene an emergency secret meeting overnight to make decisions on the next move.

There was even more chaos in the headquarters of the BPRD, the intelligence operations department had not slept for several days and nights, and the top command was closely watching the development of the situation.

But for most ordinary people, it is simply impossible to completely destroy a huge church overnight. As a result, rumors have spread among the people, although the BPRD has sent an operational force to list the ruins of St. Peter's Basilica as a no-entry zone, and governments have issued notices informing the public that the natural disaster caused the disaster. But people's hearts fluctuated, and the whole world was in a state of panic.

Shore got the news on a plane back from Siberia to his headquarters in New York. All of the X.-Team members were amazed by the event: even the battle-hardened could not think of any force that could wipe the world's largest church off the face of the earth in one fell swoop.

Xiao Er looked at the communication message sent by the headquarters in his hand seriously and carefully, his brows furrowed, and his face was very ugly. Ye Xiang, who was sitting next to him, also had a stern expression, although the heating was turned on in the cabin, the temperature at this moment seemed to have dropped to freezing.

When the plane finally landed at the secret airfield of the BPRD headquarters, Shore jumped off the plane almost impatiently, and the members of X. Team who followed him all looked nervous. They silently made their way through the dim, damp passages of the airport's underground before taking the elevator to headquarters.

Shore turned grim and didn't say a word, he walked straight into the Commander's office, where it was clear that Commander Rajer had been waiting for him for a long time.

Shore saluted the commander, who waved his hand to signal that he didn't have to be so restrained. Rajer seemed to have aged a lot overnight, and his hair was almost black before he left, and now his hair was almost silvery.

Rajer didn't have the heart to greet Shore, he asked Shore directly, "You've already read the message sent to you by the headquarters, right?"

Shore nodded to indicate that he already knew.

Rajer sighed, and he said in a sad tone: "This time the situation is very serious, the largest church in the world was directly destroyed overnight, and only a ruin remained. Now, no matter what kind of nonsense the governments of various countries make, people will no longer believe it!"

"Then why don't we just release all the information we know to tell the people the truth?" Shore asked tentatively.

"It's easy to publish all the information? Rajer yelled angrily, and Shore was startled: this was the first time he had seen a calm commander angry. "We have been a covert organization from the very beginning, and this is what the United Nations has decided. If we publish all this, tell people that in fact, those monsters, those horror stories are true. Do you know how much panic and shock it can cause?"

"So what should we do? Doesn't the intelligence services know who did it?" Shore also called out loudly.

The commander's face had turned purple, and with a wave of his hand, he slammed all the papers on the table to the floor. "The intelligence services are a bunch of idiots, a bunch of fools who only know what to call every day! They still haven't figured out who did it, and they don't even have a clue. I really don't know why we are spending money to feed these idiots. ”

The more Rajel spoke, the more angry he became, so much so that at last he had to sit back in his chair and gasp for air. Shore looked at the haggard commander and felt a sigh in his heart: he was indeed too tired, and he should be asked to calm down first.

Quietly, he picked up the ceramic cup on the table and poured the commander a cup of hot water. Rachel didn't care if the water was at the right temperature, and drank it all in one go.

The stimulation of the water temperature brought him back to his senses, and he calmed down a little, and said to Shore in the calm tone of his usual day, "I have always been very optimistic about you, young man. I'm getting old, and I'm out of my power to do a lot of things. Whenever I see you, it's like I've seen your teacher, and you're really like him. ”

Tears welled up in his eyes, and his voice became choked: "He is a great warrior, I am sure you will be the same as him, if there is one thing I regret the most in my life, it is that I did not have a good talk to him before his last mission." ”

Xiao Er's eyes were moist unconsciously: "I will never forget my teacher for the rest of my life, his will, bravery, and tenacity have indeed been passed on to me." ”

Rachel gave him a relieved look, "Yes, I believe." He got up from his chair. "I know it's too difficult for you to uncover the demons' plot and find the traitor at the same time. But I believe that X. Team has that ability, and you will be able to live up to my trust. ”

For the first time, Shore felt the heavy expectations of the commander for him and the weight on his shoulders. He calmly and forcefully said to the commander: "I will definitely do my best to complete the task." And I think this world is more of an opportunity than a devastating catastrophe. ”

"Opportunity?" Rajel asked in confusion, "what do you think was the trigger for this incident?"

Shore's eyes flashed: "Since the intelligence department has no way to find out who did it, then Commander, you can appoint Team X as the commander-in-chief of the on-site intelligence operations force." In this way, we can take the opportunity to find the traitors hiding among us. Do you think I have a point?"

Rajel nodded approvingly, he thought for a moment, and then smiled knowingly: "This is indeed a good plan, and I will now draw up an order for you to be the commander-in-chief of Operation St. Peter." But remember, this mission is full of dangers, and you must be ready to carry out the mission. ”

Shore stood upright in front of the commander, and he once again saluted the commander with a standard military salute as if he had just entered the door: "As I have always believed." The indomitable will of mankind will eventually change the world, and I am bound to fulfill your command at the cost of my life. He walked out of the commander's office with resolute steps.

"May the indomitable will and courage of humanity always be with you, Shore. Rajer said softly as he stared at Shore's back.
