Chapter 821: Gathering momentum (please vote for the big chapter)
The discussion about the missing former B-level corps commander of the city defense force did not last long. Most of the rumors about him were hearsay, and there were almost no definite official statements.
However, it is certain that the city defense army does not have Class B.
Moreover, the city defense army seems to be in a neutral state now. Both the Eternal Secret Cult and United Industries have penetrated into it, which makes it seem that neither side can reach out.
This situation can be roughly understood from the fact that there have been no city defense troops in the past few days.
Neutrality, in a sense, means that the stronger side benefits.
Now, the most powerful force in Winter City is the 'Eternal Secret Cult' which has advantages in all aspects.
Of course, United Industries also relies on Rockville Energy Group to prevent the Eternal Secret Cult from taking action against it.
The two major forces maintained a fragile balance for a short time, and continued to clear away the remaining remaining forces in Winter City.
"Do you know the members of the investigation team sent?"
He Ao looked at Gaster and asked in a low voice.
"know,"
Gast nodded, "The leader of the team is not someone from Rockville Energy Group, but a high-level official from the headquarters. This seems to be the result of the game above. This person is famous for hating cults, and most of the investigation team is his people."
.”
"It seems that FBI headquarters is not completely stupid."
Lena sighed, "But there are influences from forces opposed to Rockville Energy Group?"
"Yes,"
Gaster nodded and sighed, "That's how it is over there in Irons."
Countless intertwined forces come together to form a stable yet dangerous balance network.
Irons is not owned by the Rockville Energy Group alone. The Rockville Energy Group's ability to suppress this matter and turn it into an investigation team process is already the 'elastic limit' in this complex network of forces.
If you want to go further, you have to pay more.
Obviously, Rockville Energy Group is not willing to pay more for United Industries.
Of course, it is also possible that United Industries did this intentionally.
"Will the Eternal Secret Cult know about this?"
He Ao suddenly asked.
"Information about the members of the investigation team is top secret,"
Gast thought thoughtfully and said, "I was exposed to detailed information because some old leaders were involved in this matter, and I was a party involved, but there should probably be some news from United Industries."
This refers to the news that came through the channels of Rockwell Energy Group. Since United Industries entrusted Rockwell Energy Group to do this, it is normal for United Industries to get the news.
But Gaster didn't finish his words. He looked at the map in front of him and continued,
"According to the current composition of the investigation team, once this investigation team arrives and sees the scene in Winter City, it will definitely report it to Irons as soon as possible. In this way, according to normal procedures, there is a high probability that Irons will arrange people
Come and destroy the 'Eternal Secret Cult'."
"So actually as soon as the investigation team arrives,"
Lena fell into deep thought, "Will the situation between United Industries and the Eternal Secret Cult be reversed? Will the United Industry soon be able to kill people with a knife and solve the Eternal Secret Cult?"
At this time, she suddenly realized why He Ao asked just now, 'Does the Eternal Secret Cult know about this?', and she continued,
"So, it is very likely that United Industries will deliberately conceal the information that the leader of the investigation team is an investigator who hates the cult, in order to paralyze the Eternal Secret Cult?"
Gaster was stunned and nodded, "It's possible."
The Eternal Secret Cult and United Industries have their own hidden agendas, and it is reasonable for the two to bury their swords in each other.
"Spread the word,"
He Ao said calmly, "Let's just say that United Industries has contacted the FBI headquarters and is preparing to deal with the Eternal Secret Cult, and is preparing to take action in the next few days."
"good!"
Lena nodded.
Her people are best suited to do this kind of thing.
"Are you trying to drive a wedge between United Industries and the Eternal Secret Cult?"
Gaster asked doubtfully, "Can it succeed?"
"The Eternal Secret Cult may not be unaware of the investigation team's arrival,"
He Ao shook his head in thought, "The information spread is not meant for the Eternal Secret Cult."
"That is?"
Gaster was stunned for a moment, and then he immediately reacted,
"Is this for those who are attached to the Eternal Secret Cult?
"The Eternal Secret Cult is expanding too fast and cannot properly rectify the subordinates within the influence. This news can just make those grassroots think differently. They may not fully believe it, but it can always be in their hearts.
Plant a nail.
"At the same time, it will also break the illusion of the United Industry and the Eternal Secret Alliance. When the critical moment comes, it may play a huge role."
He was stunned for a moment and stared at the young man's immature face.
Isn’t this guy a bit too much of a genius?
But for some reason, as this young man showed his powerful force and outstanding wisdom, his originally worried heart became somewhat relieved.
In the two days since he was injured, he had thought countless times about how to break the situation, but the more he thought about it, the more desperate he got.
The enemies they faced were not only powerful, cunning, and cruel, but also unusually calm.
He actually has a chance to "survive" now, as long as he is willing to join United Industries, become a lackey of United Industries, and become the "sword" of United Industries against the Eternal Secret Cult.
United Industries will not attack him, but will protect him and make him a witness against the Eternal Secret Cult.
He may even be "appreciated" by Rockville Energy Group and transferred back to Irons again.
But if he had chosen this path, he would not have been sent to Winter City in the first place.
The reason why he feels depressed and desperate is because in this system, he seems to have no other choice but to be a dog or die.
But for some reason, he saw something different in the little boy in front of him.
It's like this young man can change everything.
He took a deep breath, looked at the young man in front of him, and said softly, "If there is anything you need me to do, just ask."
"Um?"
Lena on the side raised her head blankly, as if she didn't understand why Gaster suddenly said that.
At this time, He Ao raised his head slightly, stared at Gaster in front of him, smiled and said, "Okay, happy cooperation."
“A pleasure to work with!”
Gaster was slightly stunned, looking at the young man's face, and nodded solemnly.
Lena glanced at Howo, then at Gaster, and blinked.
The three of them discussed for a while, and information about the Eternal Secret Cult from the Security Federation was also passed over.
Heao collected all the information together, then said goodbye to Lena, Gaster and others, and left the house.
······
"Your charm is a bit outrageous, isn't it?"
Sitting in the driver's seat, Lena looked at He Ao beside her and said with some emotion.
"Um?"
He Ao raised his head and glanced at Lena, and then realized that Lena was talking about what Gaster had just asked him to do. He laughed dumbly, glanced around, and then pointed to an outdoor advertising screen directly in front of the vehicle.
, said with a smile, "After all, it is the charm of 85 million."
Lena raised her head and looked in the direction pointed by He Ao, only to see a huge 'Wanted Notice' being shown on the advertising screen, which read,
[An extremely dangerous mecha pilot with a bounty of 85 million federal coins. He was once active along the coastal road in the storm area. Those who provide effective clues will receive a reward of up to 10 million federal coins.]
Printed below is a photo of the white Fallen Angel mecha suspended in front of the crashed sky beast that night.
Since the last time she saw the reward, the price has only increased by five million. It seems that United Industries also knows that they can't catch anyone, so they increased it symbolically.
But it seems a bit stingy.
“The photo is quite handsome.”
Lena stared at the huge mecha photo.
That night when the mecha destroyed the behemoth in the sky, she was not at the scene. She only obtained some broken videos through some channels later.
However, just by relying on those videos, she could also see the critical situation at that time, as well as the powerful operation of the fallen angel mecha to make an extreme comeback.
And she knew that the young boy that night had experienced a big battle and had just escaped from the church behind and was seriously injured.
She turned her head and looked at the boy beside her who had lowered his head and looked at the bracelet on his hand again.
The sun hits the side of the young man's face, outlining the outline of a mixture of tenderness and perseverance.
Well, it is indeed quite charming.
"So where are we going?"
She withdrew her gaze and looked at the people wearing black robes with the emblem of eternal light walking on the street ahead.
This kind of appearance seems to belong to the most basic personnel of the Eternal Tantric Cult.
Lena could clearly feel that these people had the aura of former gang members.
He should be a gang member who was recently recruited by the Eternal Secret Cult.
"I've set the route,"
He Ao raised his bracelet, and the 'passing points' lit up on the map, "Go all the way to the seaside."
"these are···?"
Lena looked at the passing points thoughtfully.
"The locations of various suspected important churches of the Eternal Secret Cult in the Storm Area."
He Ao said calmly.
Lena glanced at the young man's slightly excited face and felt that the young man was not going to face the enemy, but was going to open a treasure chest.
——Thirty minutes later——
"You filthy unbelievers, the eternal light will punish you!!! Your souls will be torn apart and you will be immersed in eternal pain!"
puff--
With a loud roar, He Ao stabbed the white-robed priest who was attacking in front of him with his sword.
Then he glanced at the corpses of the white-robed priests around him, kicked a hole in the wall, and placed the 'sacrifice' that he had just rescued who had fainted from fear and was originally going to be offered to the Eternal Kingdom of God outside the wall.
Then he walked to the computer in the corner and connected the bracelet to the computer.
While the bracelet was transmitting information, he used his toes to pick up the shining glass ball that had fallen to the ground. As the glass ball flew into the sky, he smashed it into pieces with a volley of his palm.
With the light splashing around, the data transmission quickly ended.
He Ao directly unplugged the data cable, took out the radiant corona from his pocket and took a look at it, then took a step forward and smashed the wall.
The door of the dark off-road vehicle opened and passed right in front of him.
He jumped directly into the off-road vehicle and closed the door.
boom--
With a violent sound, the building behind them collapsed.
"How about it?"
Lena asked curiously, holding the steering wheel with her hands.
"not bad,"
He Ao nodded, "The Eternal Secret Cult is still rich, let's go to the next one."
Ever since he discovered last night that this glass ball could charge the radiant corona, he had planned what he was going to do now.
Paper Butterfly's cooling time has not passed yet, and he is still seriously injured, but he can still deal with some C-level priests.
Behind the speeding off-road vehicle, some believers who had not finished walking stared dumbfoundedly at the church in front of them that had collapsed into ruins.
They were here just now listening to the preacher's sermon. How could the church be gone so quickly with just a brush?
Those grassroots members of the church who had just been recruited and were gang members also stood in front of the ruins, at a loss and at a loss for what to do.
——
The sun sets in the west, and the rays of light fall over the sea.
"Give."
Sitting on the roof of the off-road vehicle, under the glow of the red sunset that was about to sink into the sea, He Ao handed the burger he just bought to Lena.
"thank you boss."
Lena smiled and took the burger, looking at the sunset in the sky.
The red glow shone on the sky and the sea, and also on the remains of the huge sky beast that was half covered by the sea water and still had traces of dark flames.
Some small mining ships bearing the United Industries emblem are surrounding the huge mechanical wreckage, salvaging valuable items from it.
The sky, sunset, sea, and the huge man-made machinery half submerged in the sea constitute the sunset picture at this moment.
"It's so beautiful."
Lena opened the hamburger packaging, took a bite of the burger, and said with a long sigh.
She followed He Ao and ran nervously all the way today. Even though she was a C-level person, she was still a little tired.
From morning to afternoon, the two of them visited more than a dozen churches non-stop.
They moved very quickly, and apart from the time spent traveling, they actually only spent a few minutes at each church.
The preachers in these churches are rarely reasonable. The Eternal Esoteric Cult seems to have increased the reward for He Ao. When the preachers saw He Ao walking in, they tried to trap He Ao, or directly launched an attack to capture He Ao.
bounty.
Then most of them were rewarded.
Among these churches, eight have C-level preachers, and twelve have glass balls that seal the gift of eternal light, but the content of the gift varies.
After realizing that He Ao was attacking the church, the Eternal Secret Cult specially arranged people to ambush the two of them, but they were all bypassed by He Ao.
The route they took was specially designed, with several twists and turns. In addition, Lena was familiar with the terrain, so the Eternal Secret Cult could not find their specific location at all.
Later, the Eternal Esoteric Cult gave up and asked the churches in the storm area to stop their church activities, move all the valuables in the churches, and prepare to become a turtle.
The last church they went to would have been vacated if they had been later.
"It's really beautiful."
He Ao took a bite of his burger, stared at the sunset, and nodded slightly.
"Are you going to church later?"
Lena turned her head and asked softly.
"No."
He Ao shook his head. Due to the enthusiastic sponsorship of the Eternal Secret Cult, his glorious corona and finger bone fossils have been recharged with energy.
The entire church in the storm area also became cautious because of his actions today.
Judging from the information he got from the computer controlled by Eve, all the churches with gifts were ordered to be silenced by the superiors of the Eternal Secret Cult, and all the glass balls were also taken away.
The Eternal Secret Cult reacted quickly and guessed He Ao's purpose.
However, because all the glass balls were taken away, their 'sacrifice ceremony' could not be held in a short time.
And as Ho Ao saves those who were 'sacrificially sacrificed' to the Kingdom of God, the so-called process of 'ascending to the Kingdom of God' will become more widely known.
Some of his basic arrangements were also successful.
"By the way, there is a relatively famous fleet nearby..."
He Ao reached out and touched the paper butterfly on his shoulder that had regained most of its color.
But midway through his words, he suddenly paused, raised his head, and looked at the alleyway to the side.
"What are you going to do?!"
The voice of some immature boy came from deep in the alley, "Let my mother go!"
