Chapter 181 Keep smiling
If the polluted areas and bone trees in the lower-level communities alerted the Qianfancheng government, then the bizarre deaths in the No. 1 community a few days ago undoubtedly touched the bottom line, and to some extent, it has become one of the main reasons why Qianfancheng couldn't wait to compromise with the latter after the Archaeological Association gave up.
On behalf of the Qianfancheng government, Burwo issued a formal request for assistance to the Archaeology Association, which was naturally also a decision by the senior parliamentary leaders.
First, as the Minister of Security, Bulwo, is nominally the highest person in charge of Qianfan City's security, and second, he is asking him to convey it on his behalf, and he wants to save the face of the senior management. Although the capitalists are not shameless, if they can save it, no one wants to throw it away, right?
However, this time they were destined to be disappointed.
"His Excellency Burwo is too simple to think about it. The association is not the security force of Qianfan City. We have made a request for assistance, and your response is to refuse on the spot!"
A gray smoke spit out between the thin lips. Virginia looked directly at Burwo who had opened his mouth again, raised his empty right hand and said immediately,
"I didn't listen to my previous sentence to mock you...at least not all, I was saying the reality. The first time the epidemic broke out, the association had enough staff. We were both determined and spared to help. However, while your security forces were entangled with the UFO in the lower-level community, the association headquarters sent an emergency mobilization order with the highest authority. About half a month ago, the association's staff of Qianfancheng were pulled out by nearly 70%. Lord Burwo, you should be able to receive some news, right?"
Almost at the same time Virginia mentioned the emergency mobilization order, Bulvo guessed the reason, and then suddenly realized the next second.
That’s right, the central point of the contradiction lies in the archaeological exploration operations in Tokyo!
The headquarters of the Archaeology Association can turn against this matter and directly confront a top consortium alliance, which shows how they value this matter. To think further, there are only a few super cities near Tokyo. In order to ensure that the archaeological operation will not collapse, the Archaeology Association's request for nearby support can be said to be a foregone conclusion.
Recently, the Archaeological Association Branch in Qianfan City has almost become invisible in a series of strange events.
It’s not that they don’t want to stand up, but they are willing but unable to do so on the premise that a large number of backbones have been drawn!
"I can understand that if there is no force support, then in terms of theory..."
Bulvo made up his mind to squeeze out some surplus value from the Archaeological Association. This face cannot be lost in vain, right?
"There is no theory, but what are the suggestions? Do you want to listen?"
Speaking of this, Virginia put aside her thoughts of continuing to mock the other party. After all, she is the head of the Archaeological Association in Qianfan City. If this super city is beyond recognition by a cult, she will not be able to make any mistakes.
"Of course, I can't ask for it!"
The topic returned to normal, Bulvo straightened his back, leaned forward slightly, and looked at it with a scrupulous look.
"First of all, the Ubodesnake organization is not an ordinary cult. It is likely that behind it is supported by a more powerful cult organization. It can be seen from the timing of their choice to take action and the various special means it shows. A cult organization formed three years ago cannot have such a foundation. This means that their plans will never end in the lower-level community. You must make the worst plan!"
The time for this outbreak of the epidemic is neither too early nor too late, but it is chosen to be the time when the Archaeological Association has conflicts with the senior management of Qianfan City and it is difficult to escape from Tokyo. There must be something strange about this. It is obvious that one of the Ubodesnake organizations alone cannot obtain inside information at this level.
"Secondly, the abnormal phenomenon that appeared in Community No. 1... I can be sure that it is not an accident, but the layout of the next plan of the Weavernosaurus organization. You may start with it, and maybe there will be new discoveries."
Although the Archaeological Association was not present at the time, they still obtained some video materials through internal government news.
"In the end, there are likely to be informants within the Qianfancheng government who are deployed in advance, and their status is not low. Up to today, all actions of the Qianfancheng government have been passive. In the past month of game, not only has it been unable to turn passive into activeness, but also suffered heavy losses while being led by the Ouroboros organization."
Now is not the time to say good things. Virginia's words are quite straightforward, and she doesn't care whether these words will hurt people.
"Every move you have been predicted in advance by the Ourobosnakes. This time, when you step into their trap, I believe that there are prophets in the other party's organization, but I believe that someone in the top government has become the other party's 'alarm'."
As Virginia said his suggestions word by word, Bulvo's expression also changed several times. After the former finished speaking, he subconsciously wanted to speak, but before he could speak, he was interrupted by Virginia.
"For the above suggestions, the branch will neither help nor help. You are the Excellency Bulvo. There is no need to say anything more."
Never interfere in government affairs of any supercity. This is the key to the Archaeological Association's ability to maintain a neutral existence among major forces. Virginia obviously does not want to make a mistake in principle. He paused for a few seconds, and stared at his face while waiting for Bulvo to digest what had just happened.
"Will the branch sit and watch the cultists create terror events in Qianfan City? The lack of remaining staff does not mean that we will stand by. In fact, we have already started to take action. As for the process... As I said just now, before the 'alarm' is turned off, I am afraid that you will not be informed to prevent the leak of the news."
Seeing that Burwo was in deep thought again, Virginia did not have the habit of thinking with strangers. She stood up straight and said that there was still something to deal with in the branch and left first.
He pushed open the door of the security office and enveloped Virginia through the sunshine falling from the dome. But she half lowered her head and half of her face was trapped in the shadow. She threw the cigarette between her fingers into the trash can next to her. The smoke from her mouth was followed by a pair of eyes that were in deep thought.
In the waiting area not far away, two subordinates, one tall and one short, wearing the uniform of senior investigator of the Archaeology Association, stood up and walked up quickly.
He took out an oval crystal from his pocket, and the transparent material scattered crystal light under the sunlight. Virginia's gaze stopped for a short time on it and immediately threw it to his subordinates beside him.
"No special reaction, Bulvo's soul is normal. Through observation, he may be an arrogant guy, but he will not betray the government and defect to the cult."
This trip is not just for coming here to argue with Bulvo or to mention some suggestions. The crystals that Virginia carried with him were soul stones made by special crafts within the Archaeological Association.
Compared with the vague hue value detection instrument, one of its functions is to detect the vast majority of people whose souls are eroded, and the detection range can cover the holder's body several meters without being discovered.
It can be said that this is an object made by the Archaeological Association specifically for targeting cultists.
The only drawback is that the materials for making soul stones are quite scarce, and the production process is extremely complex, so that there are no more than 10 soul stones in the entire Archaeological Association. If it weren't for the urgent request for help from Qianfan City this time, it would be another matter whether Virginia could apply for the soul stone.
Moreover, after testing within the Archaeological Association, it was found that these items could not be found any substitutes from the earth, as if they were products of another world... It was necessary to buy them from several special organizations at a high price, not to mention that most of the time it was still in a state of no market price.
Recently, an organization called Shuojin Chamber of Commerce has emerged, and has successively launched a lot of special goods in this area. The association is actively contacting it, and it is not known whether it has achieved results.
"President, where are we going next?"
The subordinate's request brought Virginia's attention back to reality.
"There is no problem for the Minister of the Security Department, so let's continue to detect another person. It is necessary to ensure that no one who participated in the scavenger plan is left behind... This method is bulky, but it is much more effective than the negative practice of the Qianfancheng government casting nets around like a headless fly. It is difficult to wait for the fish to take the bait by luck."
Virginia lowered her voice to her subordinates while walking out, and continued to say,
"It is a way to contact the people of the weird studio through the relationship within the association as soon as possible. He has not contacted the Qianfancheng government so far, and may have seen that there are cult believers at the top of the government. Worrying to reveal his identity, it can be inferred that his current situation should not be very good. It is definitely not easy to fight against the entire Wetrosnake organization and the 'popular monster' hidden behind it... Haha, I hope to meet this 'director' than wasting time with a guy like Bulvo!"
As it turns out, Virginia's guess is correct, and Zhu Jue's current state is really not very good.
In the living room of the private clinic, Gu Yinqiao was holding a roll of gauze in her hand, looking anxiously as she lay on the sofa on her back, her face pale, as if she had lost her soul.
There was a crack on his right arm, and blood was still flowing out. This was a wound that could be recovered in the blink of an eye, but now it can't be recovered. Even a lot of healing sprays and ointments will be of no help!
"What happened to him, what happened in the deep world, according to the plan, you should bring him out!"
Suzi sat next to Zhu Jue, staring at the man in black robe who had already woken up opposite the table.
"It's his request... strange human."
The great race answered Suzi without any haste, his eyes staying on Zhu Jue, and with its ability, he naturally knew what the latter was experiencing at this time.
From the moment when it left the deep world alone and saw Suzi waving the three-day moon and Taidao knife to cut Zhu Jue's arm, it realized what the latter was in the temple lobby at that time.
It is precisely because of this that it knows how crazy the human thoughts are in front of it!
“Ha~~~”
Just as Suzi wanted to continue saying something, the hoarse breath suddenly sounded, Zhu Jue's body bounced straight from the sofa, and his already pale face was sweating heavily at this time.
At this moment, Zhu Jue's eyebrows were filled with smiles.
He picked up the wind chime in his arms, put his face up and rubbed it back and forth between its neck for more than ten times.
At first he smiled silently, but then he grinned and let out a muffled laughter, and eventually turned into a laugh.
Chapter completed!
