Chapter 778 The terrifying ‘behind-the-scenes forces’ (two-in-one super large chapter please vote for me)
"It's snowing again, what a damn weather."
The air conditioner of the off-road vehicle whirred, and Bayert glanced at the frosted window and cursed secretly.
"It's unreasonable for those bastards to ask us to do this kind of work. That guy Levins is just on the same level as you, Mr. Bayert, so why should he order us?"
The man sitting in the passenger seat wiped the window with his hand and looked out the window at the tower-shaped device with a hexagonal base surrounded by a convoy of off-road vehicles.
Layers of light blue light flow along the gaps between each layer of the device.
"That guy Levins is really arrogant."
Bayert snorted coldly.
But he said no more.
Arrogance is one thing, being arrogant is another thing.
The man sitting in the passenger seat looked at his boss and said nothing, and he was very sensible and didn't mention it again.
In this dim silence, Bayert seemed to realize that his performance was somewhat shameful. He glanced at the tower device outside the window and continued, "When this matter is over, I will go to the main church to write a letter.
Let this guy interfere with our arrest of the traitor Swinter...ah..."
He let out a low cry and looked down to his side.
A thin woman with short hair wearing a thin top was leaning next to him, holding wound medicine in one hand and pressing on his wound with the other.
Looking at him, the short-haired woman trembled and retracted her hand, saying in a low voice, "Sir, I will give you some medicine..."
"Do you have any problem with me for using such force?"
Baiert grabbed the woman's neck and slammed her against the car door.
The woman's eyes widened due to suffocation, she subconsciously opened her mouth, and struggled with her hands.
"Sir, this is the only unbeliever medicine man around here."
Seeing this scene, the man sitting in the passenger seat reminded him in a low voice.
Hearing these words, Bayert let go of his hand and looked at the short-haired woman who was crying because of the impact and suffocation. He reached out and picked up the woman's short hair.
"I thought this filthy unbeliever's father and son were also brought here?"
"Yes."
The man in the co-pilot nodded. He instantly understood what Bayert meant, "They are all anesthetized and piled in the car behind. Do you want her father..."
"Eternal Light teaches us to respect our elders,"
Bayert interrupted the man, withdrew his hand and sat on the chair.
Then he said slowly in the woman's hopeful eyes, "Wake up her son and bring him over. I think this lady will be happy to see his child screaming and crying in pain in front of her."
"yes!"
The man in the co-pilot nodded, opened the door and walked out.
"don't want!!!"
The woman immediately rushed to Bayert, "Please don't!!!"
Bairt directly grabbed her neck and pressed her against the car door again, looking at her coldly, "Unbeliever, you made a mistake. I let you live, which is a gift in itself."
"You're going to hell!!! Cough cough cough—"
The woman looked at him with wide eyes, tears covering her entire cheek. She struggled hard, but the arm clamped her neck tightly like steel.
"hell?"
Bairt seemed to have heard something funny and sneered, "I will enter the eternal kingdom and live a life of eternal life without hunger. I will not die, nor will I enter the hell you imagined."
"On the contrary, you, a disbeliever like you, will go to hell after death."
As he spoke, his eyes gradually lowered, and he saw the woman's clothes that were messy and untied due to her struggle. He grinned and said, "I think your child will be willing to see more interesting scenes later?"
"don't want!!!"
Looking into his eyes and looking at his leaning body, the woman instantly realized something. She stretched out her hand to try to block Bayert, and immediately pressed Bayert's wound.
Bayert was slightly in pain, and with a flick of his hand, he threw the short-haired woman into the gap between the driver's and passenger's seats, and pressed her against the armrest between the driver's and passenger's seats.
The driver of this car had already left, and the co-pilot had just gotten out of the car. There were only two of them in the car.
A light layer of white frost covered the car windows again, distinguishing the world inside and outside the car.
The woman looked desperately at Bayert who was holding her down. She wanted to do something, but she couldn't do anything.
Her neck was still being strangled by Bayert, and it seemed that because she had just held the wound, Bayert was no longer so cautious.
A strong sense of suffocation and tears covered her cheeks, blurring her vision.
Death seems so close, so close that you can touch it.
But in that blurry vision, in that near-death darkness, there still seemed to be a glimmer of light filling her eyes.
She knew that it was just pure natural light after everything was blurred, but she still subconsciously opened her hands, trying to catch the blurry and fading brilliance.
boom--
The sound of breaking glass exploded behind her head, and a white 'light' passed through the entire vehicle, passed through her field of vision, and pierced the blurry figure of Bayert in front of her.
Some kind of warm liquid splashed on her cheek, and Bayert's figure in her field of vision flew out and was nailed to the back seat of the off-road vehicle.
A slight cold breeze blew in through the broken hole in the windshield.
Click——
The rear door opened, and in the blurry field of vision, a thin figure stepped onto the vehicle following the drifting wind.
There was a strange brilliance exuding from his body, like a candle that ignited his soul, burning with blazing flames in the dark night.
A calm voice sounded in the silent carriage.
"Close your eyes and just wait a while."
The voice was a little childish and hoarse, but it seemed to contain some kind of gentle power to soothe people's hearts.
Immediately afterwards, the figure stretched out his hand, pulled out the 'white light' that pierced Bayert's body, slowly stepped out of the car, and closed the door.
The woman moved her body out of the gap, lowered her head and closed her eyes.
There seemed to be fierce gunfire outside, as well as angry roars from some people, mixed with one or two violent explosions.
In the end, all the gunshots, roars, and curses ended with a huge, deafening explosion.
The huge air wave even blew the body of the off-road vehicle, making the vehicle sway like fallen leaves floating in the air.
After the explosion, everything seemed to finally calm down.
The woman waited quietly until she was sure that everything was completely silent, then she slowly opened her eyes.
The first thing that came into her eyes was the blood-stained body of Bayert sitting in the back seat.
He stared wide-eyed and looked ahead. His eyes were filled with disbelief and shock at the last moment before death, and his unbuttoned clothes were dyed red with blood.
The woman took one look at the body, took off the fur coat he was wearing, put it on her body, opened the door and jumped out of the car.
With the sudden cold wind blowing on her face, her body trembled subconsciously.
Pure white snow drifted under the street lights, and in this snow-covered square, there were bright red corpses everywhere.
In the center of the square, the tower-shaped machine emitting blue light had disappeared, leaving only scattered fragments still glowing with lightning and a deep crater.
She quickly averted her eyes and walked along the red-stained snow on the ground in the direction the man in the co-pilot had just left.
After walking about a few hundred meters, she saw a body lying next to an off-road vehicle. It was the man who had just been sitting in the passenger seat.
He was holding a pistol, his eyes widened, and he fell back, his eyes flashing with disbelief.
The woman walked over, knelt down, and pulled the pistol from the man's still warm hand.
Then she walked to the SUV and knocked lightly on the door.
Click——
The window of the off-road vehicle was opened, and an immature little boy with tear stains on his face squatted on the back seat and looked out. After seeing the woman's cheek, a trace of surprise flashed on his tear stained cheek, and then
With a little confused excitement, "Mom?"
The woman suddenly opened the car door and took the little boy into her arms.
"Mom, what just happened outside?"
The boy huddled in his mother's arms and asked softly.
Hearing this question, the woman raised her head and looked at the surrounding snow covered with red blood.
She gently hugged the boy's body, and the figure that seemed to be shrouded in flames once again appeared in her field of vision. She spoke slowly, with some religious piety in her words,
"The flames burn away the dirt."
The silent wind and snow fell on their shoulders.
······
In an alley not far away, standing next to a black off-road vehicle, He Ao looked away from the snow-white square.
The soul shadow of the woman he had just rescued was very strong, and she should be some kind of person with high natural spirituality. He Ao could clearly feel that the other party was aware of the uncontrollable overflow of extraordinary power from the hidden observer.
But what attracted He Ao's attention more was not the woman's spirituality, but the tower equipment used by the Eternal Secret Cult to block signals.
That's obviously military equipment.
He raised his bracelet and glanced at the screen.
At this time, the communication signal of the bracelet has been restored.
He opened the car door, got into the off-road vehicle, and set the location at 'No. 13 Ruian Street, Storm District', which was the location of the Eternal Esoteric Church given to him by the people in the box.
——
In an old building on the west side of Dead Tree Bar
"Weah, it's too late for you to surrender now. Hand over the list of heretical believers and you can find another way to survive. No matter how you persist, you will only be dead when Lord Levins comes."
Leren, whose body was covered in golden light, collided with Weah, who was also covered in golden armor, and the two of them flew out at the same time.
"You despicable heretics, don't try to tarnish my faith with your dirty teachings."
Weah's body flew backwards and smashed a wall. He stood up, looked at Lerun, and said angrily.
"Weah, why are you so persistent? We believe in the same god, and our teachings are more popular than your heretical teachings, and are closer to the guidance of eternal light,"
Leon stood up straight and looked at Weah, "Why do you have to stick to your stupid old-fashioned teachings? Wouldn't it be better to open your hands, embrace the truth, and embrace progress?"
"Scaremongering, your self-righteous heretical teachings are truly misinterpreting the guidance of eternal light,"
Weah stood up and shook off the dust on his body. The golden armor on his body was already full of cracks. He put one hand on his chest and touched the items fixed on his chest.
It seems that Lelen's strength has become stronger again. He can no longer defeat Lelen. If they keep dragging them here until Levins arrives, all of them will be dead.
If he uses this item, he will most likely be able to defeat Leren, but this item can only be used once in a short period of time, and he will have no reliance on it in the future.
While thoughts were flashing through his mind, he did not stop talking, "Lelen, your Levins hasn't come yet, could something have happened?"
"Lord Levins just encountered some troublesome little troubles. He has dealt with countless troubles like this."
Leren smiled and said, "It's better to put down your self-hypnosis..."
When he said this, he suddenly stopped talking, and his face showed an uncontrollable look of disbelief.
Weah glanced at the special-channel headphones fixed on Leren's ears, suddenly realized something, and rushed out of the building without hesitation.
See this scene.
Leren immediately raised his legs and chased after him, but his reaction was a step too late and Weah had already run out of the old building.
Outside the building, a strong man with a short knife in his hand was running towards the building, "Boss!!! Boss!!!"
"what happens?"
Weah stopped in front of him and asked quickly.
Just now, in order to prevent Lielen from taking the opportunity to attack his men, he led Lielen into an old building near the alleyway, but this also caused him to be disconnected from the large army and lose contact with the team without a signal.
And Leren has a special short-line link device that bypasses the jammer, so he can contact his team to a certain extent.
"Boss,"
The strong man with the short sword looked at Weah panting, "Levins is dead!!!"
Hearing this answer, Weah was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Levins is dead? Who said it? Who did it?"
"They heretics said there that Levins was dead and his body was nailed to the bar sign. They didn't know who did it."
The strong man with a short sword said quickly, "Their morale has collapsed now, and their attacks are weakening."
Weah looked up at the alleyway and found that the fierce gunfire there was now much less intense.
"I wonder who did it?"
Weah was stunned.
Then the image of the 'letter boy' at the door flashed through his mind.
"The 'partner' we met tonight may be more powerful than we imagined."
He immediately turned around and looked behind him.
But Leren, who originally seemed to be chasing after him, did not come after him.
"Pity."
He sighed.
If Lielun was chasing after him just now, and he turned around and used the extraordinary items given by the leader to quickly kill Lielen, they might be able to break out while the opponent's morale was low.
Now that Leren was aware of the problem and did not pursue them, he returned to the main team and stabilized people's hearts. The possibility of their breakout was greatly reduced.
At this moment, the strong man with a short sword standing in front of him suddenly raised his bracelet and said with some surprise, "Boss, the signal has been restored!!! The signal shielding device seems to have been destroyed."
"Signal restored?!
Weah was stunned.
Then he said without hesitation, "Send a message for help immediately!"
······
Meanwhile, at the other end of the alley, Leren returned to the center of the Eternal Secret Cult.
"Lord Leren! Lord Levins..."
A group of white-robed priests immediately gathered around.
"it's okay no problem."
Leren took a deep breath and said, "Now I will be the commander-in-chief of this operation."
"Sir, do we still want to continue taking action?"
The white-robed priest asked in a low voice, "We may not be able to stop them. Now that the signal has been restored, the signal shielding device has most likely been destroyed. They are very likely to have reinforcements coming."
"They must be dealt with here no matter what. This is the order of the main church,"
Leon looked at the crowd around him, "This is our territory, can we still be oppressed by heretics? Immediately ask for help from the main church and let people from other parishes find ways to stop the support of heretics."
"grown ups,"
At this time, a white-robed priest hurried over. He was holding a document and looked at Leren.
"This is the intelligence that the spies saw in the east. The FBI is coming here. There are many of them. They seem to be out in force. It seems that there are also people from the Joint Industrial Mercenary Group."
"FBI?"
Leon frowned and took the document.
But before he could open the document, another white-robed priest ran in, "Sir, there is news from the west. People from the Security Federation seem to be gathering manpower."
"Are these guys colluding? Why are they all out! Now we may not be able to retreat even if we want to retreat. If Mr. Levins were here, why would there be so many things?"
Leren rubbed his head and said, "Send the message to the main church. We need more manpower to stop the FBI and the Security Federation."
He looked up at the priests around him, "This time it is a war against heretics. We cannot lose. We have to tell these stupid heretics who are the true servants of the eternal light!!!"
"Praise to the eternal light!!!"
"Praise to the eternal light!!!"
The white-robed priests around him instantly became excited.
And Leren was already holding his forehead, vaguely aware that with the emergence of the FBI, this incident had developed into an unpredictable development.
An invisible hand disrupted this huge chessboard called Winter City.
Things were completely beyond the control of the church.
If Levins were here, relying on his strength and wisdom, he might be able to come up with the best way to extract the church from this vortex.
But there are no ifs in the world. Levens is dead, and Levens has neither enough prestige nor enough strength. All he can do is to throw the problem to the main church and keep asking for help.

Dead Tree Bar
"Levins is dead?"
Jato from the Security Federation on the other end of the phone looked at Lena in surprise, "This guy was so powerful and cunning, how could he die so easily?"
"Although it's hard for me to understand, I'm afraid the opponent has set up a game specifically for him,"
Lena sighed and glanced out the window, "But his body is still nailed to my sign. There is only one fatal wound on his body. It shouldn't be difficult for the other party to kill him."
"How powerful does that have to be?"
Jia Tuo looked a little dull.
"At least Class B,"
Lena withdrew her gaze and looked at Jato, "What's going on over there? Have you organized the manpower as soon as my people arrived?"
"In fact,"
Jato shook his head, "It was the FBI that informed us in advance and asked us to cooperate in organizing manpower."
"FBI?"
Lena was stunned, "They are here too?"
"yes,"
Jato nodded, "They should have arrived in the storm area by now, along with the people from United Industries."
"It looks like there's going to be a big storm tonight."
Lena sat back in the chair and sighed.
"yes,"
Jia Tuo also sighed, and then he asked softly, "What's the situation with the Eternal Old Religion? Can't they deal with the Eternal Secret Religion?"
"It's only half a pound,"
Lena said thoughtfully, "When Levins was here, they basically had no way to survive, so I sent people to come to you for help. Now that Levins is dead, they are still fighting, and probably no one will be able to survive in a short time."
Nothing can be done to anyone."
"Levins was not killed by a member of the old church?"
Jato's tone was stunned. It was obvious that there was some difference between what Lena said and what he had speculated before.
"If those people from the old religion had that ability, they wouldn't ask me for help here."
Lena sneered, and then her voice gradually lowered, "The person who killed Levins was probably another force."
"Which one? Are there other forces in Winter City?"
Jato was a little confused at first, but then he reacted and his voice gradually lowered, "You mean, the forces that bloodbathed Kate's villa? Why did they attack Levins?"
"People from the Eternal Old Church are here today to meet with people from that force,"
Lena said slowly, "They should think they can control that force, but it's obvious that they don't know what kind of monster they have provoked."
She sat on a chair, put her chest on the table, and tapped her fingers lightly on the table, "What do you think the entire situation would have developed if Levins had not died and the FBI and us had joined the war?"
"Um?"
Jia Tuo was stunned and thought, "Will the people of the Eternal Old Religion be wiped out quickly? Can the people of the Eternal Secret Religion quickly escape from this incident?"
"yes,"
Lena sighed, "Now the center of the storm is near my bar, and among the people in the center of the storm, only Levins has the strength to resolve the battle quickly.
"Even if he doesn't resolve the battle quickly, and only kills a few people from the old religion, and barely achieves the result, he quickly withdraws with the people from the Eternal Secret Cult, leaving the FBI and our people in vain, and the situation will turn towards the eternal truth.
The favorable direction of Tantra,
"And Levins has the position and ability to make this decision."
"So," Lena banged her hand on the table, "Levins must die."
The atmosphere in the office fell into an eerie silence. Jato on the other end of the phone gradually held his breath as Lena's analysis progressed. After a while, he took a breath, and then Lena spoke slowly.
,
"After Levins died, the people of the Eternal Secret Cult around your bar were unable to quickly deal with the enemy and could only ask for support. The signal shielding device was destroyed and after the signal was restored, the people of the Eternal Secret Cult could also request support.
"With the addition of support from both sides, the scope and intensity of the battlefield will be further expanded. Coupled with the participation of the FBI and us, this battle has turned into a big storm sweeping the entire city, and the Eternal Secret Cult has to face it all at once.
To all enemies."
"But," Jato thought, "the Eternal Secret Cult can also let its own people retreat, avoid fighting, and avoid this battle?"
"impossible,"
Lena shook her head, and then he continued in Jato's doubtful eyes,
"The Eternal Secret Cult has been brutal and domineering in recent years, constantly devouring and attacking other forces including us. In fact, it is an attempt to wildly expand its own power in a short period of time.
"They are quickly accumulating strength, trying to defeat all enemies in one fell swoop and truly gain control of the city.
"But their basic base is not stable. Many people are actually new to the past and their loyalty is not high. It is entirely because they rely on them out of 'confidence' in their rapid expansion.
"This kind of 'confidence' is very important. When the Eternal Esoteric Cult has been victorious, this confidence maintains the cohesion of the newly joined forces.
"These coerced forces, relying on their 'faith' in the Eternal Esoteric Cult, have gathered together to form the 'power' of the Eternal Esoteric Cult.
"As long as the confidence is maintained, the Eternal Secret Cult can continue to expand the market until the final 'decisive battle', defeating the FBI and United Industries, and becoming the real controller of Winter City.
"But once the Eternal Esoteric Cult experiences a large-scale war and defeat, these forces that relied on the past will be shaken and even switch sides.
"So this time, if it is Levins who gives the retreat order, all the responsibilities can be borne by Levins. He has the strength and the ability to judge the situation. Only he can make the Eternal Secret Cult withdraw from this battle.
.
"But once the news of the request for help is sent to the main church, the Eternal Esoteric Cult has no way out. In order to maintain the confidence of the dependent forces in themselves, they have to confront the FBI, the Eternal Esoteric Cult, and us.
"This is a 'decisive battle' that starts in advance, before the Eternal Secret Cult is ready.
"Even if the Eternal Secret Cult knows that they have no advantage, they cannot retreat, because there is still a possibility of winning in the war, but retreating will lead to an avalanche of betrayal and collapse of the dependent forces, and they will definitely lose.
"I'm afraid that the forces behind the scenes saw this and got rid of Levins and destroyed the signal jammer. I'm afraid they were the ones who contacted the FBI.
"This big storm is not a coincidence, but it was man-made."
A silent silence spread throughout the office.
After a long time, Jato gasped softly, "It's so scary..."
He smiled bitterly, "We didn't even react before we entered the game of the forces behind the scenes and became their pawns."
"Contradiction is inherent,"
Lena said softly, "What the people behind the scenes did was just to detonate the right contradiction at the right time."
She raised her head and looked out the window.
Although the reasoning is very good, she is still wise after the fact. If she is allowed to go, she will not be able to set up such a situation.
She was also confused when she saw Levins nailed to the sign of her bar.
"So, what is the purpose of the force behind the scenes setting off this storm?"
Jato sighed.
"have no idea,"
Lena shook her head, "Maybe it's to fish in troubled waters, or maybe they really have a grudge against the Eternal Secret Cult."
The office fell silent again.
"well,"
Jia Tuo let out a long sigh, and then he said quickly, "We will come over right away, be careful over there."
"Don't worry about me."
Lena shook her head slightly.
Then she reached out and hung up the video call, raised her bracelet, and glanced at a message she had just received.
"Sure enough, how could this guy let go of this opportunity to fish in troubled waters?"
She sighed and flipped the switch under the table, and the secret passage opened again.
"Use money to do things, use money to do things."
She stood up quickly, opened the secret compartment of the bookshelf, took out a small wooden box, and walked into the secret passage.
The secret passage door slowly closed.
——
Shui On Street
He Ao, who was sitting on the off-road vehicle, rubbed his hands and looked forward.
A single-family building with a spire that seemed to be covered in light golden light appeared in his field of vision.
There are some guards near the building, but there are obviously more vacancies. Most of the people who were originally guarding here have been transferred out, and are still being transferred out.
In the spiritual vision, countless twisted patterns are gathering on this church.
This is the main church of the Storm Zone of the Eternal Secret Cult.
He Ao turned his head and looked to the other side. In the corner on the other side, where the twisted patterns also gathered, where the guards guarding the church could not see, a group of people were cautiously approaching the church.
Later, I wrote more.
This time it is more than 7,000 and nearly 8,000 words, and it takes two days. It is unimaginable that I have written so much. Please give me a vote every day.
