In a closed conference room, everyone was sitting neatly.

More than one of them had situations such as the look of messy clothes or the shirt was wrinkled. Obviously, the meeting was held in such a hurry that a large number of people rushed to the scene.

The screen in front of the conference room is a clear video. From the video, you can see the smoke in the building, and panicked people around the building are running, while the distance is filled with people watching the fun and taking photos. From the video, you can see that a rope hanging down from the height of the building, and the people trapped in the building were really escaping along the rope one by one.

"Gentlemen, this is the fire that happened this afternoon!" A white man in a neat suit came to the edge of the screen and made a gesture. The man was about fifty or sixty years old, his forehead was full of wrinkles that represented thoughtfulness, and a light flashed in his eyes that usually only appeared on the workaholic. "You may know. Today, a shopping mall in Houston was set on fire and an explosive device was installed. The arsonist was an unemployed vagrant. But fortunately, most people escaped in time, with very little casualties."

"The unemployed vagrant himself was on the building and then jumped off the building and committed suicide. The police have confirmed their identity, and nothing is suspicious. It seems that this is just a madman who has not been satisfied with his life and has suffered serious setbacks. He hopes to take revenge on society. But," he said, paused, and suddenly said. "Let's take a look at this."

Another video begins to play on the screen.

It was an old woman who was not particularly old, facing two policemen. The old woman was a little embarrassed, and she didn't need to know that she was one of the lucky ones who had escaped by the rope before. Obviously, this was a regular inquiry from the police. The problem was that what the old woman said immediately attracted people's attention.

She was excited to tell the police that in the building, they were trapped by smoke and flames. The smoke became thicker and thicker, and the wounded were everywhere, while the others clashed with each other for the order of escape. It was almost, and almost, that most of them had to die there. She prayed to God in despair, and God listened to her prayers. At that critical moment, an angel suddenly appeared and saved them with divine power.

"Yes, angel! The angel appeared in front of me... I dare to swear with my father's grave..." The old woman was nagging, until the policeman in front of her was completely impatient and finally interrupted the other party.

"Okay, ma'am, you can leave."

After the old woman stood up and left, the two looked back at their companions who were making records, and exchanged helpless eyes with each other. One shrugged at the other and said: "Collective hallucination."

The video ended here. I guess the two policemen didn't know that their last words had been recorded.

"Gentlemen," the white man made a gesture. "I think everyone understands that it is not surprising that collective hallucinations in that environment are not surprising. Everyone has the will to live, and these are instincts deeply embedded in the subconscious. When facing life danger, people will hope to be saved. It is likely that one of the wounded people said the word 'angel', which aroused people's subconsciousness. In the same environment, people with similar thinking are stimulated and the same hallucinations will be created... They were saved because of their own efforts, not some inexplicable angels. But," he repeated the word again. "Look at this photo!"

At first, everyone was not very good, but when they saw this photo, they still made a commotion.

It was a very clear photo, a luminous but hazy humanoid creature stood in the aisle, with several equally luminous silk threads flying on its body. The body's body is very close to humans, but it has a very clear outline of two wings on its back. Although the figure looks blurry, the others around it are very clear. I don't know if it is like this or the photo is taken.

"Two hours after the fire broke out, firefighters rushed into the building. One of them picked up a cell phone that was accidentally lost by a successful escaper, and this photo was obtained from the cell phone."

"Is it really an angel? Not made by photo editing software?" More than one person talked to himself privately. Although religious consciousness always occupies a dominant position in this country, in fact, the real elites are atheists. Or in other words, even if there is really a god in their hearts, it is a conceptual existence that is high and superior. At least the gods have never made the act of sending angels to the earth to directly interfere in the human world.

"I want this photo." The screen photo changed again. This is a long-range picture of the building that caught fire. The photo was obviously taken at a very long distance, and the photographer was located much taller than that building. "We should thank modern technology high-pixel phones... so we took this one."

On the screen, the photo was enlarged. On the rooftop of the building, two figures confronted each other. One person stood on the edge of the rooftop of the building, the real edge of the city, and then took a step forward to ascend to heaven directly. Although he couldn't see his face clearly, it could be seen that this was a slender young man. The other was standing in the center of the rooftop of the building. The man wore a magician's exaggerated silk top hat, a magician's dress and cloak, and a mask on his face.

The photos themselves are very clear, but with the smoke rising around them, it is really weird that these two characters appear on the rooftop.

"We speculate that this person should be the arsonist. He fell to his death shortly after taking this photo. The other one is likely to be the 'magic' that everyone knows before, and he disappeared later. Yes, he has gone to Houston. We opened the net, but he has long been out of the net."

"The magician, skin color, appearance, age, and identity are unknown. His gender is initially speculated to be male. He is wearing the exaggerated magician suit that can be seen everywhere - although this dress is now behind the real magician. At present, we have three speculations about his identity. The first is the inheritor of an ancient religious group. Dear gentlemen, the last time we mentioned in our information, the Indian wizard and the black wizard emphasized that it was a powerful wizard, but they also found it difficult for them to judge him.

Whether the witchcraft they master is their kind is not sure where his witchcraft power comes from. The priests all agreed that it was black magic. These testimonies can be used as auxiliary evidence. The second is a lucky person who inspired his talented superpowers. But unfortunately, we have looked for all the supernatural phenomena in the world for twenty years, and none of them can match him. Although this speculation cannot be completely denied, it has to be said that the possibility is relatively low. The third is the legacy of the Red Empire."

His voice suddenly became severe.

"In the last century, there was a global fanaticism of superpowers, ancient ruins and ufos that broke out. Many countries have conducted research on superpowers during this period. We are no exception. The initial hope was to develop the uses of these superpowers to provide various conveniences for the country. Unfortunately, after comprehensive assessment, we can be clear and have limited types of superpowers that we have mastered in our hands, only two types: ‘super sense’ and ‘fuzzy mind signals’. They may have research value, but they certainly have no practical value. The final related items are related.

All the goals were abandoned, and those officially confirmed superpowers have returned to live the lives of ordinary people. I investigated all the books and proved that most of these superpowers have died naturally. These people did not show any extraordinary things in the rest of their lives. We previously thought that this was not a problem for our family, but a common ending of global superpower research. No one with a brain would think that this superpower is of any use. But unfortunately, a week ago, we obtained a broken piece of information. The data left over from the Red Empire."

"This data shows that the research progress of the Red Empire in superpowers was completely beyond our imagination. They had already completed the superpower research initially, that is to say..." His voice became so serious that everyone couldn't help but straighten his back. "Practical superpower troops."

"I'm lucky and regretful that the Red Empire collapsed at this time. Because of some undetectable changes, most of the information about the superpowers was destroyed, and the details of the troops could no longer be found. What we can be sure of is that after the collapse of the Red Empire, there is no combat sequence for this troops. So there is no doubt that this troops have been separated from the control of any country, and their whereabouts are a mystery. According to the residual data, the number of this troops is very small, no more than seven people. And seven people are enough to organize a force that can be put into actual combat! At least the senior leaders of the Red Empire think so."

"Sir," said one listener. "As far as I know, the abilities of superpowers are relatively single. The abilities displayed by magicians are diverse. Compared with superpowers, witchcraft seems to be a more appropriate explanation."

The screen changed and a photo of a black man appeared.

"This person is named Luan, nicknamed "Black Wizard". He is 28 years old, unemployed and a gangster. But he claims to be a wizard. He was once attracted by a great wizard from an African tribe while traveling in Africa and taught witchcraft. He is quite famous in the border areas. It is said that the voodoo potion he configured has certain therapeutic effects. It is very popular among black middle-aged and elderly women. The unit price was even hyped up to thirty dollars at one time. However, during the investigation by our investigators, he was unable to successfully perform the witchcraft he claimed to have mastered. His voodoo potion

The water was also handed over to our researchers to analyze, and the result was... a pure placebo. Our staff dig deeper and found his entry and exit records. The conclusion was that he had never been to Africa in theory... He said that he did not understand the details of witchcraft, and the power of the wizard was far above him. But his teacher should understand. The solution he provided for us was that he had to find his teacher to further understand more of the mystery of this witchcraft. Of course, the relevant expenses would be borne by the Government of the United States."

The screen changed again, and became a middle-aged man dressed in traditional Indians.

"This is the 'Redstone', an Indian native, the most famous Indian wizard among the Indian community in the southwest of the United States. Many Indians call him the 'last great wizard'. It is said that he has many abilities such as psychics, witch medicine, weather manipulation, etc. But unfortunately, our investigators also investigated all the legends related to him in depth, but could not find a proof. His psychic potion - he needed the help of the potion to enter the psychic state - was used by our researchers to analyze it and prove that the real active ingredient in it was cannabinoids... When we asked about the details of witchcraft, he refused to tell us, but hinted that we could buy his psychic potion from him at a high price. Through these potions, we can communicate directly with the natural spirit, and the natural spirit will tell us the truth."

The picture changed again, turning into a middle-aged white man wearing black clothes and a cross hanging on his chest.

"This is Father Lyon, 42 years old, a Catholic priest, with a pure and simple resume. He went to the Vatican four years ago to study. He was sure that it was black magic and strongly asked for an exorcist ceremony. He claimed that he knew everything about the black magic. Our investigators specifically asked the Vatican for this, but the other side refused to give a reply. By the way, the exorcist ceremony planned by the respectable priest included three procedures, namely prayer, cleaning the site with holy water, and installing an exorcist cross on site. His church can provide holy water and

The cross, but the completion of the ceremony is expected to require thirty tons of holy water and three hundred crosses. The price per ton of holy water is 8,000, and the cross is 100. There are many things to do, and it costs more than 600,000 yuan to complete the entire exorcist ceremony. As for the black magic itself, he completely rejected our requirement to understand the details and insisted that ordinary people should not and cannot learn and master the black magic. According to the survey, he recently placed an order from China through the Internet to purchase a batch of wooden crosses, each priced at 1 yuan. It is said that as an old customer, our priest also gave an additional discount."

The entire conference room presented a strange atmosphere, and more than one person wanted to laugh, but he didn't dare to laugh.

"And this photo," the screen returned to the angel photo just now. In this photo, the body with a blurred and hazy body of the winged human, several things like silk threads extended. "It can make us have some associations. What if these things were some specific wire, and could be manipulated at will like tentacles?"

When saying this, almost everyone will think of the photos and videos of the dismemberment before. If it is such a thing, it will perfectly explain how the Armenians were dismembered before.

"...and this humanoid, since it can shine slightly, can it turn into a darkness in turn?"

"And the strange state of being detached before... If you think of it as using a wire to pierce into a center of the human nervous system, then it can be explained."

He stopped and let the people below whisper for a short while.

"Okay, gentlemen, then let's introduce the last one," as his words changed again. He turned into a young, handsome white man. "This is Martin Claude, a Nordic, who immigrated to the United States three years ago. The street magician often performed in bars and other places, but his whereabouts are unknown. We preliminarily judged that his parents were likely to be the legacy of the Red Empire, which is a member of the Superpower Force. He might know what we want to know. I even suspect that he is the Magician himself."

"Gentlemen, we do not want to attract any attention. This matter must be in an orderly and secret manner. It will become our focus for a long time in the future. I hope to hear relevant reports every week."
