Chapter 285: The Real World

Sophie's heart sank, and she turned to look at the leader of the investigation team.

She and the head of the investigation team are also from the FBI, and they have worked together for almost three years, so they still know each other very well.

The team leader, named Gerald, himself belongs to the upper echelons of the FBI and has a wide range of connections within the Eagle Nation government.

The most important thing is to be upright, and there will never be any favoritism.

has always been Sophie's idol.

But what does he mean by that?

Her mind flashed through some internal cases that she had been in contact with before, mainly covering up crimes, and various abuses of power.

As an agent, her intuition made her feel that everything the team leader was doing in front of her was especially like trying to cover something.

Cover up this clue she found?

Seeing Sophie's puzzled eyes, Gerald smiled slightly and said:

"The case has been closed, those scum have been duly punished, the whole of Central and South America is now much safer than before, the domestic arms dealers have also taken the opportunity to sell a lot of weapons to the government forces of various countries to change equipment, the one in the white palace has also got the approval rate he wants, and now it is the best result, we don't need to make extraneous branches."

"However, people have the right to know the truth, and we should defend their right to know!" Sophie said with a frown.

Although she didn't want to admit it, the scene she feared the most still happened.

Gerald, the boss she admires, has selfish intentions and wants to obstruct the investigation of the truth.

Gerald gave Sophie a deep look, and a relieved smile appeared on his face, and he seemed to be very satisfied with Sophie's reaction, but he still said:

"What truth? What is the right to know? Let them know that the nuclear bomb came from a certain organization in the Middle East, and that everything is not a fight between pro-independence groups at all, but someone else? The anti-drug operation carried out by the Eagle Nation government and the governments of the Americas has not found the real mastermind behind it? Let the already stable public opinion in various countries surge again, let those ignorant rabble march on the streets, and give justice to the independent vendors? Let these criminal syndicates that have just been extinguished resurrect again?"

Sophie's lips moved twice, and although she knew that what Gerald said was true, she still said:

"But ......"

Gerald sighed and said:

"But what? Believe it or not, if the final investigation reveals that the nuclear bomb was not made by the Medellín Group and Vera Gold at all, and we have been looking for the wrong target, then the opposition parties in the country will immediately attack the previous strategy, and maybe pay huge compensation to those who are lone criminals, in just one night......"

Gerald stretched out a finger and said categorically:

"It only takes one night for those new criminal syndicates to pop up in no time, and they will have more advanced weapons, more brutal methods than before, and they will also occupy the fucking moral high ground and package themselves as a victim! By that time, countless women will be raped on night outs, countless children will lose their parents, and strings of skinned and tortured corpses will hang under the viaducts in Mexico every night, do you think the truth will matter to them?"

Then he lowered his voice again, looked directly at Sophie and said:

"And all of this is just because you moved the mouse and submitted a clue."

"I ......" Sophie naturally understood that although the truth was cruel, what Gerald said was true, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

Gerald patted her on the shoulder and said:

"No one cares about the truth but you, what the Eagle Nation needs is a reason to intervene directly, the president needs a way to boost approval ratings, and the poor people here need safe streets...... Now, are you still clinging to the truth?"

Sophie was completely shaken.

Not to be shaken for the truth, but to be shaken for the truth.

That's how the world has always worked.

Seeing that Sophie's eyes were a little confused, Gerald smiled slightly, leaned over and took Sophie's hand away from the mouse, and then found the clues just now, and said:

"Since this conflicts with your principles, let me be the bad guy."

As he spoke, he formatted all these clues thoroughly, leaving no traces.

After doing all this, seeing that Sophie was a little lost, Gerald thought for a moment, patted Sophie on the shoulder, and motioned for the other party to come to his office.

Sophie got up and followed Gerard into his office.

Motioning for Sophie to sit down, Gerald looked up at the agent in front of him, who was full of justice in his heart, and asked:

"Sophie, what kind of Medellín nuclear bomb incident in Colombia, compared to the entire human civilization, is just a small wave, not even a wave, just a speck of dust...... I ......admire your ability and great love for human civilization as a whole."

Hearing Gerald's compliment, Sophie raised her head and was about to show her modesty, when Gerald raised his hand to stop her words, and continued:

"Wait a minute, I'll report one thing first."

Then he picked up his phone, clicked on one of the icons, and said in a deep voice:

"The target has given up exploration, threat event X0347 has been lifted, and the person involved in the incident has some potential to apply for the Salvation Army qualification check."

Sophie's eyes showed more confusion.

On Gerald's mobile phone screen, there was a blood-red eyeball pattern, and the words that the other party just said were simply inexplicable, but it seemed that he had heard it somewhere.

Report?

Gerald was already the head of the Joint Investigation Team, and although it sounded like a team leader, he had tremendous authority and was directly accountable to the UN Secretary-General and the one in the White Palace.

The only people who can make him report are the two most powerful people in the world.

Is it just that he just uses his mobile phone to report the situation directly?

Then Gerald raised his head and looked at her deeply, and asked in a solemn tone:

"Sophie, have you ever heard of the Salvation Army?"

Sophie was stunned, she had heard the name before, it was a rumor on the Internet, that there was a mysterious organization called the Salvation Army, led by a savior, silently guarding the world in secret.

It's just that she always thought that this was just a story made up by a third-rate tabloid, and she didn't believe that such a mysterious organization existed at all.

After all, reality is not.

But what does Gerald mean by that?

At this moment, Gerald's phone shook again, revealing a message:

The personal information is checked, and the qualification check is passed.

In the next moment, Sophie's phone also shook.

She immediately pulled it out, and saw that a blood-red eye icon had filled the entire screen.

There was a sentence on the screen, Sophie read it in a trembling voice, and Gerald in front of him also said with a laugh in unison:

"Welcome to the real apocalyptic game."
