Chapter 14: Bureau of Countermeasures
The ultra-high-definition video in the mysterious website of unknown origin is spread all over Chenghai City.
Mortals who have access to the Internet have been exposed to unknown corners of the world, although most of them think that these are special effects, propaganda used to make a gimmick for a certain movie.
Whether the citizens believe it or not, anyway, at this stage, the law enforcers, a special department personnel, are already in a hurry to calm down the turmoil.
The countermeasures bureau, which is committed to hiding the 'mystery' of the world and creating a false appearance for mortals, has been trying to cover up the turmoil since the first time the video came out.
first sealed off the neighborhood where the incident occurred, and then screened the witnesses to blur their memories, and then used some resources to guide most of the people to think that this was a special effects video.
Every step is being done perfectly, but they are hindered at the most critical step.
"Adam, haven't you tackled that video site yet?" In a conference room, a middle-aged man in a law enforcement uniform frowned and looked at the screen, and by the way, he didn't forget to ask the people on the side how he was doing.
"No, sir, this site doesn't technically exist on the Internet." The blonde youth in uniform, known as Adam, said he couldn't solve it, and incidentally told his findings. It's a means on "our" side. β
The fact that he is referring to us is naturally the means of the transcendent, which is the so-called inner world.
The middle-aged man frowned a little when he heard this, then shook his head and continued: "Also, it involves the Chaos Egg, and the protection methods that belong to "us" are even more suspicious. β
"This doesn't bode well, this video is tantamount to making the transcendent public, and our long-standing insistence is about to come to naught." Adam pushed his black-rimmed glasses and continued to try to delete the site.
Since the normal method is useless, then he can only come up with some skills.
Adam Valentine, a well-known 'mutant' level transcendent in the Chinese world.
It's not that he's so strong and invincible, it's that he's very knowledgeable about a lot of tricks, and he's like a magician who turns his enemies into fame.
Difficult and tricky are synonymous with him in "outliers", and many people generally do not take the initiative to provoke him unless they have a life and death crisis.
And he has another layer of identity in the table world, in addition to the playboy attribute that is extremely disgusted between the same sex, that is, Ling Hao's few friends in this world.
Of course, his identity was kept secret from the latter and was not fully revealed.
The middle-aged man with his back combed found that there was still no progress, so he had to return his attention to the projection screen in front of him.
The man was expressionless without saying a word, and his upright posture combined with the dark uniform of the enforcer brought out an aura of non-anger and self-authority.
To the members present, he was the 'unbreakable shield', the 'nightmare of the violators', and the 'immortal legend'.
This 'outlier' named Barron is a kind of symbol of the countermeasures bureau, and as long as he exists, Chenghai can always maintain two sets of rules that separate the inside and the outside.
Use the remote control to control the device, and switch the screen to a dozen extremely blurry black photos of a large sword in hand.
"The target has been seen for the past five days, and she seems to be hunting down cultists hiding in the slums, and by the way, saving many unfortunate living sacrifices." As he spoke, he figured out the relative number of strongholds that had been attacked, and the death of the cultists inside could only be described as horrific.
The blurry photographs are of course Maria in her costume, and those strongholds were caused by her single-handedly breaking through head-on.
In the past few days, law enforcement agencies have received different calls, but the calls from the same noisy female voice that was handled were all missing persons who were recovered.
An 'alien' in his thirties, when he saw the clearer picture of Mary, couldn't help but say something. "Wow, this set of fully enclosed armor doesn't look cheap, are you sure that the target is only one person?"
The meaning of this is obvious, after all, no matter how you look at the appearance of the magic pattern structure, it will not be DIY by a transcendent person in private.
If you want to achieve such a level of refinement, at least it can only be made by a private workshop of a powerful force with a head and a face.
"There's only one one that has appeared so far, and it's the first time I've seen that kind of magic device." The experienced Barron had never seen such a defensive magic equipment in operation, and he couldn't find any similar cases compared to the information he had seen in the General Bureau of Countermeasures before.
"Although I don't have hope, I still go to check the power of those two guys in the city, maybe ......"
Before one of them could finish his proposal, Barron threw two letters onto the table. "No need to check, this is the reply of those two old immortals, both of whom mean that they are not their people."
"It's not their people, it's not the people of the cultists, it's not even ours... Hey, when did Chenghai inject a force that had the ability to make that kind of protective magic equipment? Isn't there a natural disaster out there lately? β
After the elimination method eliminates part of the answers, the rest is bound to be the truth, no matter how outrageous it is.
"In other words, there is a mysterious force that unknowingly escaped our eyes and was stationed in Chenghai during the natural disaster." Barron doesn't think it's that simple, but the only information available so far can only be speculated to that extent.
It's useless to just think about it, let's act first.
"In short, the game between those forces is none of our business, and now the target is being tracked down by our second team, and she is currently the only ......"
Burst!
While those present were discussing countermeasures, Adam, who was still trying to delete the site, turned his head and spat blood without warning.
"Hey, Adam, it's okay." Barron hurriedly stepped forward, fearing that his proud protΓ©gΓ© would die like this.
"It's okay, it's just a shock, it's okay." Adam wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and then hurriedly told him what he had just discovered. "I've never seen anything like it on Gaia, and the aura is so deep and powerful that I suspect it might be a new god."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present looked at Adam, whose face was a little pale.
"Are you sure?"
Outer God, this is something that every transcendent being who is in Gaia's three views is normal.
Once you are targeted by these beings who are in the void, if you don't have the ability to be at the 'natural disaster' level, then sooner or later you will be played to death. If you're lucky, you'll be transformed into a Chaos Egg and become a part of the other party.
"If that's the case, then things are going in an uncontrollable direction." Barron's face was a little unpleasant, after all, there was a specialization in the art industry, and it was obviously not within the responsibility of the legendary enforcer to fight against the unknown outer gods.
"Then we can't make an action on the target?" One enforcer hesitated. "You can't let the other party act recklessly, at least let her restrain a little."
Adam, who had recovered a little, immediately replied. "Now we have a major problem, and that is how to catch a target that can be teleported away with advanced techniques anytime and anywhere."
"Adam, can you interfere?"
"I'm sorry, I can't do this, it's not a 'mutation' technique that you can try to understand."
Previously, he had had the privilege of experiencing the other party's teleportation technique at the scene, and then the complexity of it made him fall into a certain state of shock to this day.
It's like a schoolboy going to advanced math and dying of laughter, not understanding what those incantations are.
"Ah, by the way, I heard the words of the other party when I accidentally touched that defensive barrier just now." Returning to reality, Adam hurriedly said the information he had gathered when he tried to delete the URL and use magic to contact him.
Barron: "What did you hear?" β
Adam: "The all-seeing eye, they call themselves all-seeing eyes." β
