Chapter 774: The doorbell rings (please vote for the super large chapter)
FBI building
The FBI, which used to be off duty long ago, is now brightly lit, with countless FBI agents busy in the hall.
"Director Gast."
The young detective handed the information in his hand to the middle-aged man in front of him.
"Have all the heads of the Security Federation gone back?"
The middle-aged man with a tall figure and sharp cheeks put away the information handed over by the young agent and looked at the young agent beside him.
"Yes, they left after handing over the information."
The young detective nodded.
"What they said are consistent?"
Gaster opened the information in his hand, "When they arrived, all the followers of the Eternal Secret Cult inside were already dead? As soon as they entered, they were attacked by the support of the Eternal Secret Cult?"
"Yes, there was no blood on their bodies. After a simple autopsy, we also found that those wounds were most likely not caused by them,"
The young detective nodded, "The dead believers in the villa probably have nothing to do with them. They should just be unlucky and happened to arrive at the villa. Before they could leave, they met the people of the Eternal Secret Cult."
"It's not necessarily bad luck,"
Gaster shook his head and continued to flip through the information in his hand, "But it is indeed a good thing that they are willing to cooperate with us. Our eyes in the storm area will not be black all the time."
He paused, "By the way, what did the captured Eternal Secret Cult believers say?"
"The higher-ups are very strict in their speech, and the lower-level ones don't know anything. But among the group that escaped in the end, there should be their leader, a high-ranking priest. We are still following them, but we probably won't be able to follow them for much longer.
.”
The young detective replied.
"These filthy, invisible rats,"
Gaster sighed and put down the information in his hand. He raised his head and glanced at the young agent, "Is there a response to the 'email' sent to Novis Security Company?"
"No,"
The young detective shook his head,
"Some seniors analyzed that the 'note' left by Novis Security Company was just a means for the person behind the scenes to drive a wedge between the Security Federation and the Eternal Secret Cult.
"We found a large number of traces of powerful extraordinary beings fighting in the villa. According to the information we collected, Novus Security Company itself is just an ordinary security company. It does not have powerful extraordinary beings as employees, and most of its personnel are
Died in a previous attack by the Eternal Secret Cult."
"Well, the idea is right,"
Gaster pressed his hand on the documents on the table and looked at the young agent with a smile, "But even if the person behind the scenes is not necessarily from Novis Security Company, it does not mean that the method of contacting Novis Security Company cannot be reached.
he."
"ah?"
The young agent's mind was confused, and he looked at Gast in confusion, "You mean, the person behind the scenes has a way to log into the mailbox of Novis Security Company?"
He paused, then nodded, "That's right. If the person behind the scenes is a huge force, it wouldn't be surprising to be able to steal the information of the 'Novis Security Company' through hacking methods."
Then he looked up at the director in front of him in confusion, "So what exactly does the person behind the scenes want to do? He specifically contacted us in the hope of using our hands to deal with the reinforcements of the Eternal Secret Cult?"
"But he clearly left the villa very early. Even if the reinforcements came from behind, they couldn't catch up with him. This posed no threat to him at all.
"Or is it that he hates the Eternal Secret Cult so much that he will suppress the forces of the Eternal Secret Cult if he has the chance?"
"I don't rule out this possibility, but I actually think that he achieved at least three goals with this step."
Gaster smiled and nodded, and then he continued,
"First, it weakens the strength of the Eternal Secret Cult. Second, it forces the Security Federation to oppose the Eternal Secret Cult. Third,"
He paused and looked at the young agent, "He gave us a 'gift' to express his position."
"Gift?"
The young detective was stunned.
"If you think about it carefully, among the parties involved in this incident, besides the person behind the scenes, who else is the beneficiary?"
Gaster asked with a smile.
The young agent was stunned for a moment, and then said with some suspicion, "We? Not only did we get the support of the Security Federation, we also achieved the largest victory against the Eternal Secret Cult in recent years. We are one step closer to completely destroying the Eternal Secret Cult."
.”
"right,"
Gaster nodded with a smile, picked up the hot coffee placed next to him, and put it to his mouth, "The person behind the scenes, or the forces behind the scenes this time, through this 'intelligence support', clearly expressed their views to us.
With his attitude, he refused to deal with the Eternal Esoteric Cult and threw a sweet date at us."
"But, this man behind the scenes and the forces he belongs to, are they really trustworthy?"
The young agent hesitated.
"At least,"
Gaster took a sip of coffee and said, "They should be trustworthy when it comes to dealing with the Eternal Secret Cult."
He glanced at the neon lights outside the window and said, "The original balance of Winter City has been broken. A storm is coming. We will probably be very busy next."
He lowered his head and glanced at the information under his command again, "So, arrange for someone to keep an eye on the email address of the Novis Security Company. They will definitely contact us again. Only after trust is established can we truly 'cooperate'."
"Um."
The young detective nodded. At this moment, he received a message, his expression changed, and he looked up at Gaster.
"Director,"
At this moment, another agent held a document in his hand and rushed over in a hurry. He looked up at Gaster and said, "The email from Novis Security Company has been replied!!!"
He quickly handed over the document in his hand and looked at Gaster nervously, "This is the reply content."
Gaster took the document in his hand, lowered his head and glanced at it, his expression heavy.
The young agent standing next to him also glanced at the contents of the document and said hesitantly, "Director, should we believe him?"
Gaster was silent for a moment, then slammed the document in his hand on the table.
"Gather everyone together, check the equipment, contact United Industries, and cheer up the brothers. This is not only for Winter City, our year-end bonus this year may be on it."
"Yes Yes!"
The two detectives standing next to him responded immediately.

storm zone
An off-road vehicle riddled with bullet holes was driving slowly on a road where the street lights had been completely turned off.
"Dumped the FBI bald eagles?"
The man in the white robe sitting in the back row with bloodstains on his body rubbed his head and asked softly.
A young, thin man was leaning on him, helping him treat his wounds and apply medicine.
"Lord Bayert,"
The man in black sitting in the passenger seat put his head out and looked out the window with the night vision binoculars, "You should get rid of it."
"Why is that old bald eagle at the FBI so awesome?"
Bairt glanced at the injuries on his body and sighed, "No wonder the Pope and the Bishop told us not to confront him head-on."
He actually didn't fight the director head-on, but when he retreated, he fought with the opponent under the cover of his subordinates, and then he was directly injured.
If he hadn't mastered so many God-given pendants and had other subordinates delaying for him, his injuries would have been even more serious.
"Ahem, can you contact anyone else?"
Bayert coughed and asked in a low voice.
"Can be contacted."
The man in the co-pilot nodded.
"Have them meet in the street out front,"
Bayert nodded, and then asked a little irritably, "Where are Kate and Swinter? Can't you get in touch with either of them?"
"Can't reach you, sir."
The co-pilot's subordinate turned around and said, "I'm afraid this is a trap set by the Security Federation and the FBI. Those two adults may have..."
"Useless things,"
Bayert inserted his fingers into his hair and pressed his forehead angrily, "I couldn't complete the task, and we lost our troops. And I sent a message saying that I was just a 'child' who might have received secret supernatural support, and that I might have encountered something."
Attack by secret forces.
"I didn't even take a photo, you're a waste."
He lowered his head, with a hint of evil in his eyes, "These bald eagles, the betrayers from the Security Federation, and that damn kid, these filthy unbelievers must all die, and they should use their blood."
Welcome the shining of eternal light.”
"Sir, how can we communicate with the main church..."
After Bayert finished venting his anger, the co-pilot's subordinate asked in a low voice.
"Main Church..."
Upon hearing this, Bayert paused for a moment and rubbed his eyebrows.
The entire carriage fell silent for an instant.
This incident caused great losses. Not only was the stronghold in the Cloud Zone gone, but most of Bayert's people were also lost. Kate and Swinter could no longer be contacted. Maybe everyone was gone, so naturally there was no need for punishment.
But those of them who are still alive will still face punishment from the main church.
At this moment, the thin man who gave Bayert the medicine sat up and said hesitantly, "Sir, we don't have enough medicine, and my skills are not professional enough. We should still find a doctor..."
"I see,"
Bayert pressed his forehead and said, "There should be a clinic in front of you? Then go find one in front of you."
He paused and then said, "Find a clinic for unbelievers. If he doesn't want to, you can also threaten him with the lives of his relatives, which is more convenient."
"yes!"
The man sitting in the passenger seat nodded, "These filthy unbelievers deserve to die, and it is their honor to serve you."
Bang bang bang——
Not far after the off-road vehicle went forward, violent gunshots were suddenly heard under the dark night, and they were chased behind the off-road vehicle.
The co-pilot's subordinate immediately stuck his head out and looked behind him, "It seems they are from the FBI. They are chasing us again."
He turned back and glanced at Bayert, "Sir, there don't seem to be many of them. Do you want to stop and deal with them?"
Bayert glanced back, holding the only remaining pendant in his hand. After a brief hesitation, he shook his head, "Get rid of them."
"yes!"
The co-pilot nodded.
The off-road vehicle immediately accelerated, and after spending a lot of time, they successfully got rid of the pursuers behind them and arrived at the agreed gathering point.
There are several off-road vehicles parked here at this moment.
"They are all our own."
The man in the co-pilot immediately turned around and said to Bayert.
"Um."
Bayert nodded. He stared ahead, looking at the off-road vehicles and frowning slightly. This scale was much smaller than the scale he brought for support.
At this moment, the radio channel in the car suddenly sounded, and a somewhat urgent voice came from the car stereo, "Mr. Bayert, we seem to have found Mr. Swint. He is sitting in an off-road vehicle and is now in an abandoned old car."
This side of the building."
Bayert immediately sat up from his seat, "Follow him, we'll be there right away!"
Swinter suddenly couldn't be contacted. Something must have happened, and he might even have betrayed the church.
Maybe Swint planned this incident!
As long as he can catch this evidence, he can get away with it.

Dead Tree Bar
It's already two o'clock in the morning, but the loud dance music still echoes in this spacious bar.
As the largest gold-selling cave in the storm area, the Dead Tree Bar is one of the few places in the storm area that can shine brightly all night long.
Neon lights and colorful lights complement each other.
The darker the night, the brighter the lights in the bar.
There is music and singing here every night, and the lights are like daylight. It is difficult for people living inside to tell whether it is day or night.
He Ao stood at the doorway with neon lights and glanced around the bar.
In some corners in the distance, those twisted 'patterns' are particularly dense.
He withdrew his gaze, pulled up his scarf to cover half of his face, and then walked into the bar among the people passing by.
As soon as he entered the door, loud music blasted in his ears. He Ao looked in along the crowd and saw that an exciting striptease was being performed on the main stage of the bar.
On the other side of the stage, coolly dressed female band singers were accompanying the dancers.
People roared and made noise in the dynamic music.
He Ao withdrew his eyes from the stage, followed the blast of music, and continued walking along the crowd towards the depths of the bar.
······
At this moment, in box 305 of the bar, five burly men and a woman with a black snake tattoo on her arm were sitting in the box.
The crystal wine glasses were placed on the coffee table in the private room, and the crowd gathered around.
The private room is located far away from the noisy hall, so you can't hear the restless music.
But there is also quiet distress in silence. In this silence, people sitting in the box can clearly hear the sound of tables and chairs in the box next door colliding back and forth, as well as the rhythmic female voice accompanying the collision.
"Next door, be quiet."
A strong man leaning against the wall knocked on the wall and shouted loudly.
“The soundproofing of this bar is really bad.”
The woman with the black snake tattoo picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
"Boss, do we have to wait here until dawn?"
Another strong man sitting in the corner looked at the strong man sitting near the door.
"The appointed time is dawn,"
The strong man at the door took a sip of wine and said, "Let's just wait quietly. Regardless of whether the other party comes or not, we have completed the task assigned by the leader."
"I heard that the heretical sect's entire stronghold in the Cloud District was wiped out?"
The woman with the black snake tattoo laughed and said, "You really deserve it."
"I don't know if this force that destroyed the stronghold can be trusted or if it is willing to cooperate with us,"
The strong man sitting in the middle whispered, "To destroy the stronghold of the heretical sect, we must at least have a lot of C-level peak experts. If we can have their help, our plan will be much easier."
"They are willing to help, but we may not be able to trust them."
The strong man knocking on the wall turned around and said, "They don't have anything to do with heretical sects, but they may not be our friends either."
"don’t worry,"
A man with a sword sitting next to the leading strong man said, "Since they use the name Novis, maybe they really have something to do with Novis. In that case, there is a high probability that they have similar goals to us. As long as they use
It’s good, it will definitely be a big help.”
"But if they are also interested in the Novises,"
The strong man sitting in the middle thought, "How will we distribute the spoils then? What if they want what we want?"
"They will not divide the spoils with us, they will not become our collaborators,"
The leading strong man put down his wine glass. He opened the door and took a look outside. After confirming that no one was outside, he closed the door and shook his head. "Their biggest role is to help us attract the attention of the heretical sect.
"At that time, we only need to guide them to meet the people of the heretic sect first and attract the main force of the heretic sect, which will give us the opportunity to enter the main church of the heretic sect in the storm area."
"Boss, brilliant!"
The strong man sitting in the corner immediately gave a thumbs up.
"Next, just wait quietly."
The strong man in the lead took a sip of wine and looked at the wide window on the other side of the box.
The night outside the window was pitch black.
"But will those guys really come?"
After a while, the woman with the black snake tattoo whispered, "Maybe they will send someone to deliver a message or something to establish contact with us first, or use a drone or something..."
Ding dong——
As soon as she finished speaking, the doorbell of the private room suddenly rang.
Everyone in the box tensed up instantly. The strong man sitting in the corner took out a short knife. Under the gaze of the leading strong man, he slowly moved forward and opened the door.
"Hello, the fruit plate you want to add."
A man dressed neatly in waiter's clothing stood at the door, holding a huge fruit plate in his hand, "Is there anything else you want?"
Then he glanced at the strong man blocking the door, "Do you need me to put it in?"
"Need not,"
The leading strong man at the door shook his head, "No need."
The strong man with a short sword opened the door and took the fruit plate.
"Then I won't disturb you anymore."
The waiter quickly backed away, left the box, walked along the corridor blanket to the elevator door, and entered the elevator.
Behind him, the door of the hidden safety passage opposite 305 was slowly opened.
······
"This waiter scared me."
In the box, a strong man with a short sword placed the fruit plate on the table.
Ding dong——
At this moment, a clear doorbell rang again.
Everyone looked at each other and their bodies tensed up again.
The leading strong man glanced at the strong man with a short sword.
The strong man with the short sword straightened up again and moved towards the door.
He stretched out his hand, grasped the door handle, and slowly turned it open.
I'm not in good condition today, plus Kavin, so it's still late.
I still need to adjust the update time. This time it must be updated in the afternoon!
