What is the crisis in Northern Ireland?

In a council hall in the secret underground fortifications of the Bureau of Unnatural Research and Defense, a bald middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes sits at a long conference table with a thick stack of materials.

"According to our FBI global surveillance system, there is an incredible paranormal activity on the coast of County Antrim in Northern Ireland, and according to the surveillance system, this supernatural phenomenon is almost more incredible than Glacier National Park, so we must be prepared to go to the area immediately in case something unexpected happens."

"An incredible paranormal activity even more incredible than Glacier National Park?!"

In front of the long conference table, in addition to the bald middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, there were five other people, these five people were Lu Fei, Bloom, Hellboy, Abel, and Liz.

"I said Tom Manning, are you mistaken?" Bloom was taken aback, "The supernatural phenomenon that appears in Glacier National Park is the awakening of the ancient evil crocodile of the ancient demon pet of the Hell Demon King Levi Anson, who has been sealed underground for thousands of years, if there is a supernatural phenomenon activity that is even more terrifying than the biggest monster in the world, what kind of terrifying spiritual creature it must be?" ”

"There's nothing wrong with Professor Bloom." This bald middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes is Tom Manning, the head of the Special Operations Department of the FBI, Tom Manning knocked on the table and said, "Our country has the most advanced surveillance system in the world, our surveillance objects cover almost every region of the world, our network hackers can arbitrarily invade the website of any company or even government on the earth, we can listen to the phone calls of every citizen and even a certain head of state at will, There are only 13 root servers in the world, 9 of them are in our country, basically the vast majority of the world's daily Internet information has to pass through our country and go through the root server in our country, we have the world's largest network army and advanced technology, we have so many advantages, do you think our intelligence will be wrong? ”

"Mistakes are always missed in negligence." "I've heard that the government has secretly implemented a 'prism' program to spy on every citizen's phone calls, text messages, and emails under the pretext of counterterrorism, and the United States is a country that advocates freedom, and the government owes citizens an account for that......

"Excuse me, Professor, what is the 'Prism' project? As the head of the FB Special Operations Department, I had never even heard of this plan. Tom Manning interrupted, "There is no such thing as a 'prism', although we have the technology to completely spy on citizens' information, we have not done so, each and every one of our citizens' information is free, we have never snooped on any of the privacy of citizens." ”

"Your intelligence must have it, you just won't admit it." Bloom shook his head and sighed, "I don't want to bother with you about this, you're changing the subject." ”

"Even if there is any 'prism' plan you mentioned, it is definitely not my director." "You know, there's something alive in the dark, and as the B.P.R.D. leader of the FBI, you're more focused on the supernatural creatures than on the privacy of American citizens." ”

"The purpose of B.P.R.D is to protect the safety of citizens, and when the privacy of citizens' normal lives is threatened, what is the essential difference between it and the intervention of supernatural creatures?" Bloom retorted, "I am absolutely opposed to this government peep plan, and I report its disappointment." ”

"As I said, our government didn't do that."

On this topic, Tom Manning, who is the head of the FB Special Operations Department, has obviously inherited the fine style of the US government, that is, he says one thing on his lips, but does another thing behind his back.

"Our focus right now is on the paranormal phenomenon in Northern Ireland." Tom Manning evaded and changed the subject, saying, "Since the peculiarities of this paranormal phenomenon are obviously more special than Glacier National Park, I must personally travel with you to County Antrim this time. ”

"What? You're going to Northern Ireland with us, too? Hellboy couldn't sit still any longer, and stood up and said straightforwardly, "To be honest, I really don't like to be around you. ”

Within B.P.R.D., there have always been many conflicts and disagreements between Hellboy and Tom Manning, partly because of Hellboy's infrequent "escapes", which has brought a lot of inconvenience to Tom Manning's work.

Basically, Hell Baron has to run away from the B.P.R.D every once in a while, he seems to have become addicted to escaping, in Hellboy's own words, it's too boring to stay in the B.P.R.D where all kinds of monsters gather, I want to go out to breathe, this world of flowers, I'm here to ......

And every time Hellboy "escapes", he will leave a figure in the crowd, and sometimes he will even be photographed, for those photos that are posted in front of the media, Tom Manning always has to take time out of his busy schedule to explain that the back is not real, and the Baron does not exist.

Fortunately, Hellboy met a guy named Mike Mignola during an "escape" two years ago, this guy named Mike Mignora is simply a madman, he listened to Hellboy tell him some legendary experiences on a whim, and then wrote a comic book of the same name under the name of "Hellboy", this comic book called "Hellboy" became popular soon after it came out.

This guy named Mike Mignola is not only a madman, but also a genius, his comic book of the same name "Hellboy" with its dark picture, unique style quickly set off a "Hell" wind among American fans, and later Tom Manning explained to the media that there were photos of Hellboy taken by the public, and he had a better excuse, saying that it must be another "Hellboy" fanatical fan who was hot-headed and dressed as a baron and ran out to be scary. Otherwise, the reasons that he made up would no longer be convincing.

Although Tom Manning was very annoyed by the repeated departure of Hellboy and left a wild and fierce image to the public, and Hellboy was super unhappy with Tom Manning's undisguised rejection, Tom Manning's attitude towards Hellboy always tried to maintain a delicate state that could be hated but tried not to provoke or even flatter, because the Unnatural Research and Defense Bureau received some abnormal special tasks, and these special tasks were indispensable to the participation of the special identity of Hellboy, His powerful bright red muscles and his super-giant stone hand had terrified many other dark creatures.

"To be honest, I really don't like to be around you." Hellboy repeated the hurtful but blunt words to Tom Manning.

Tom Manning's expression became embarrassed and ugly when he heard this, but he still tried to keep smiling.

"This is a cigar I brought back from Cuba." Tom Manning pulled a cigar from his bosom and handed it to Hellboy.

"To be honest, I really don't like to be around you." Hellboy unceremoniously took the cigar and repeated what he had said twice before, a third time.

Tom Manning shuddered and took a cigar from his bosom and delivered it to the Hellboy.

"This is the last cigar that Cuba brought back." Tom Manning said.

Hellboy glanced at Tom Manning.

"Really, really the last one." Tom Manning said with tears in his voice, "This cigar is very precious, I didn't even want to smoke it to you, and I don't know if I can buy it next time I go to Cuba." ”

"Seriously, I really don't like to be around you." Hellboy took the cigar and said what he had said three times and a fourth time without gratitude, then turned away, not forgetting to add, "But I like this cigar." ”

Lu Fei finally knew where the expensive cigars that Hellboy used to smoke came from.
