Chapter 286 Whisperer calls
Sophie's face was full of shock, she could hardly believe that this was true.
She had seen news about the "Real Doomsday Game" and the "Salvation Army" on the Internet before, but the news was mixed in with a lot of gossip, making it unreliable at first glance.
Although it was hyped for a while, it was completely submerged by various gossips.
Regarding previous serious global disasters, the official stance of various governments is that it was the concerted efforts of the United Nations countries and the gathering of global power that saved the earth many times.
Compared with the rumors about the five permanent members of the Security Council establishing a special army through the "Super Soldier Project", the rumors about the Savior and the Salvation Army are obviously much more nonsense.
So no one believed it at all.
Some candidates for the Salvation Army who claimed to have been unsuccessful were also ruthlessly ridiculed by people, thinking that they were just crazy about money.
But now, this "real doomsday game" actually appeared in front of her eyes, and the boss she admired the most, Team Leader Gerald, turned out to be a member of the Salvation Army, which made Sophie's brain a little confused.
Temporarily down.
She took a deep breath, stared at Gerald with a pair of amber eyes, and said slowly:
"Boss, is this some kind of prank? Or is it something similar to the infiltration of Hydra? Russians? Or Chinese?"
As a senior FBI agent, her first thought was still about infiltration from other countries.
After all, Eagle Country's own Prism Project has been conducting global penetration and surveillance, and it is normal for other countries to do so.
The joint investigation team itself is composed of members of the five permanent members of the Security Council. If the intelligence agencies of various countries did not plant any insiders, Sophie herself would not believe it.
Gerald was still smiling, slowly shook his head and said:
"I know it's hard to believe all this, but for the ultimate goal of the Commander-in-Chief and our Salvation Army, the national interests of Eagle Country are of no importance at all. Of course, the safety of the people of Eagle Country is also the responsibility of the Salvation Army... Maybe
It’s hard to believe all this in a short period of time, but I think as long as you enter the game and explore it, you will naturally understand what kind of person the commander is, and what the Salvation Army means to all mankind.”
With that said, Gerald took out a "The Other Side" virtual reality helmet from behind the table and placed it in front of Sophie:
"Of course, for a qualified Salvation Army soldier, the virtual reality 'Real Doomsday Game' is the most exciting. This is a brand new virtual reality helmet, and I highly recommend you to experience it through this.
"
Sophie: "..."
Seeing the enthusiasm flashing in the eyes of Gerald in front of her, Sophie couldn't help but think of her fifteen-year-old nephew David. This boy became obsessed with virtual reality games after the emergence of virtual reality devices. Now he is a virtual reality website.
He is an addict, severely squatting at home, and has been completely isolated from society. Sophie once went to advise David, but it was of no use at all.
What Team Leader Gerald said, as well as what is happening now, as well as this virtual reality helmet and some real doomsday game, everything is too absurd...
What is happening to this world?
At this moment, there was a knock on the office door, and the smile on Gerald's face faded, and he said loudly:
"Please come in."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door was pushed open and a man with gray hair in a suit and leather shoes walked in.
Seeing this person coming in, Sophie couldn't help showing a surprised look, stood up and said:
"Deputy Chief Mick!"
This old man in a suit and leather tie is none other than FBI Deputy Director Mick, the liaison person for this joint investigation team.
Gerald himself is already a senior leader of the FBI, and Mick is Gerald's immediate boss.
Old Mick smiled slightly, motioned Sophie and Gerald to sit down, and said:
"The work of the joint investigation team is nearing completion. On behalf of the director, I am here to see how the finishing work is going. After all, this joint investigation team is led by our Eagle Country."
Then he looked at Sophie and Gerald, already noticing something was wrong, and asked Sophie:
"What's wrong, Sophie, our chief detective, did something happen? Or did Gerald do something to make you feel uncomfortable? Don't hide it from me..."
His eyes were as sharp as an eagle, staring into Sophie's eyes, which made her heart tremble.
Although the old man in front of me looks very kind, he is definitely a ruthless character.
What first made Mick rise was his investigation into the Watergate scandal when he was young. Later, he showed his prowess in various major incidents and became an absolute senior agent.
In front of him, both Sophie and Gerald were like primary school students, without any room for resistance.
If Mick knew that Gerald was a member of the "Salvation Army" and had obviously done something against the national interests of Eagle Country, Gerald would definitely die without a burial place!
Should I tell Mick or not?
No matter how you say it, what Gerald said just now is already an act of treason!
It's just... from Gerald's words, this so-called savior and their Salvation Army have never done anything harmful to nature. Instead, they have taken it as their own duty to save human civilization, which is really worthy of admiration.
But... Gerald has obviously violated the people's right to know...
But what he said just now is also true. The people’s right to know is not that important compared to their lives...
Sophie's heart was filled with conflict between heaven and man, causing waves. Her expression changed several times in a few seconds, and then she suddenly smiled calmly:
"Deputy Director Mick, it's nothing, it's just that the boss saw that I was too tired from work, so he gave me a virtual reality helmet to let me relax..."
Gerald nodded, glanced at Mick, and said nothing.
Mick also showed a satisfied smile, seeming to be very satisfied with Sophie's words.
Then he raised his hand and patted Sophie on the shoulder like a father, leaned down slightly tremblingly and whispered:
"That's a good thing. I suggest you accept the invitation of the 'Real Doomsday Game' now and go in and see what's going on..."
Hearing this, Sophie stood up with a bang, her beautiful eyes widened, and she looked at Deputy Director Mick and Gerald in front of her, and saw that both of them had calm smiles on their faces.
"You...you..." Sophie was extremely shocked. Apparently, Deputy Director Mick was also a member of the Salvation Army!
Mick still had a slightly loving smile on his face and said:
"I know you have a lot of doubts in your mind now, go ahead, you will find the answers you want inside..."
Sophie looked at the two people in front of her, hesitated for a moment, then took a deep breath and put the virtual reality helmet on her head...
…
Eagle Country, Rattlesnake Company Building, Brooklyn, Manhattan, New York.
Brendan stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window on the top floor of the building with a glass of whiskey in his hand, looking at the entire island of Manhattan with a happy smile on his face.
The battle for leadership of the Cheney Line of the Purification Society has come to an end.
With Cheney's death and everything settled, this force should no longer be called the Cheney Line, but can be renamed the Brendan Line.
Originally Ivanovich could still compete with him, but in the end the two reached an intention to cooperate. After all, the legendary Antichrist and his Salvation Army were secretly watching, plus other branches of the Purification Society.
It is also not a fuel-efficient lamp, and no one wants to let others reap the benefits.
The final agreement was that all the original Cheney Line's forces in the Americas would completely belong to Brendan, while the forces and hidden lines that Ivanovich had cultivated in the Middle East and Europe over the years would still be under his command.
Everything that happens in the Americas is subject to Brendan's opinion.
As for things that happen in the Middle East and Europe, Ivanovich has full authority to handle them. As for things that happen in other regions, they will discuss them together.
Of course, Ivanovic still wants to respect Brendan as the leader.
At the same time, because Cheney is dead, Brendan wants to support Ivanovich in the next competition for vice chairman.
This result can be said to be a happy one for everyone.
After all, Ivanovic also has many forces and supporters in the Americas. It is already a good result if he does not compete with Brendan now.
What's more, the original power of the Cheney Line is mostly in the Eagle Country, and the power in other places cannot be compared with it.
As for the position of vice president, Brendan never thought Ivanovic had any chance.
Kesuer has been somewhat dissatisfied with Vice President Cheney before, and this time it is even less likely that the position of vice president will be awarded to their branch.
Ivanovich is just a candidate for vice president who has no chance at all.
Overall, everything is still under Brendan's control.
Moreover, something more worrying had happened before, so there was no need to fight.
Brendan drank the wine in the glass, turned to Ivanovich sitting on the sofa and said:
"Ivanovich, after Cheney's death, there has been no new news from K'Thul. We have completely cut off contact with K'Thul. This is really worrying..."
He never worried about Ke'su'er's safety. What he worried about most was that because of Cheney's death, Ke'su'er believed that their team was completely worthless and abandoned it completely.
Then everything he finally got would have no value.
Ivanovich took a sip of the wine in the glass and said:
"Don't worry, our team has the most resources. It is impossible for President Kesuer to give up such a strong force. He probably has other plans."
They had also heard about the previous Colombian nuclear bomb incident, and even carefully investigated the clues, but found nothing.
The various branches of the Purification Society are independent from each other. Only Cthul can communicate with each other, so they don't know what is happening there and what is the relationship between the Purification Society.
Brendan nodded and said:
"hope so……"
At this moment, cell phones and phone rings suddenly rang in the room. His cell phone and Ivanovich's cell phone rang at the same time. The cell phones of other purifiers in the room also rang non-stop!
Brendan and Ivanovich were stunned, and answered the phone at the same time as all the Purifiers in the room.
The next moment, a mysterious sound of white noise came, followed by a deep voice that they could not forget:
"...Cthul has lost contact and can be judged dead. Prepare to choose...a new Cthul..."
Chapter completed!
