Two days passed and there was no bad news from London and New York. The phenomenon that day appeared to be a false alarm.
The order in these two cities was affected to a certain extent and it triggered more panic among the public. What was that black fog? Was it a terrorist attack? Various analyses and conjectures confirmed that it really happened, it was not a special effect.
For the past two days, Chen Jiahwa stayed at home, browsing the internet.
The country was still relatively calm, but in the United States, the public's anger that had been suppressed for a period of time finally erupted. The American citizens started a hashtag campaign on various social media sites, demanding an explanation from the government for everything that happened recently.
"Could it be something unclean?" Chen Jiahwa was worried but Chen Jiahwa's mother said, "What era are we in, we need to believe in science."
Chen Jiahwa, on the other hand, was skeptical. Could current science explain everything …
It was late at night. He lay on his bed with his tired eyes closed. He tossed and turned restlessly about his future and was about to drift off to sleep.
Suddenly, the phone on the bedside table rang.
"Who is it?" He reached for the phone. It was his good friend Xiao Lin again. Did this guy have no sense of time, it was almost 1 am.
"Hey, what's wrong?"
"Jiahwa, you're still sleeping. Something big has happened, something big has happened!"
Xiao Lin screamed but his voice was filled with excitement and disbelief. "The American president is giving a speech, he said there really is supernatural power in the world!"
What?! Chen Jiahwa sprang up from the bed, completely awake, a surge of excitement surging up his head.
…
For the past two days, Phecda's headquarters were on standby.
Whether or not to announce it and to what extent was decided by the higher-ups.
Due to many reasons, including national politics and ideology, Phecda did not want to announce it. They had been lobbying America to keep it a secret and use other methods to appease the public. If it weren't for the fact that they had the number one drug, the US would've announced it a long time ago. Who knew what kind of schemes they were up to now?
Regardless, the higher-ups were clear, Phecda would not be the first to announce it but if America did, they would follow up immediately.
Therefore, all the departments had been busy preparing for the past two days. A team of Phecda's star players was on standby, ready to appear at any time.
Once the veil of mystery was unveiled to the public, many things would change.
…
"Ahhh! Supernatural power!"
"I suddenly feel like I've found the meaning of life."
"I'm done talking, I want to join FBM."
When Chen Jiahwa got out of bed, his classmate chat group was in an uproar. New messages kept popping up on his phone screen. Everyone was extremely excited. It was as if they would become a superhero in a movie if they announced that they had supernatural powers today.
He hurriedly ran to the computer, turned it on, and went online to see what was going on. The domestic media was still rather quiet, but the netizens were already in an uproar.
Due to the time difference, it was midnight on the 19th here, but it was noon on the 18th in America.
In the video, the president of the United States made a solemn speech.
As Chen Jiahwa's English was limited, he could only understand some of the comments and the rest were translated from the comments.
The term "supernatural power" referred to the power that human science had yet to recognize and therefore could not understand. Just like how the ancients could not comprehend modern technology, even the worst mobile phone was a supernatural object to the ancients, it was not entirely related to supernatural powers.
Therefore, every era had its own mysteries and unknowns. The current era had become more active in the past 2 years.
The outbreak of the new Legionnaires Disease, the incidents at New York and Lundy, they all had the shadow of supernatural powers.
Chen Jiahwa's heart pounded with excitement. Even though he had more questions, the fear he felt earlier eased, he finally found a direction.
The president said the world was in danger. "But we have the strongest shield, the sharpest weapon, and the greatest power."
This was the thing that made Chen Jiahwa, Xiao Lin and the rest of the students' blood boil and envy!
The United States declassified a national secret department, the Federal Bureau of Mystery, or FBM for short. It was a separate department from the FBI, it specialized in dealing with supernatural powers.
That's how the dictionary translates it: n. Mysterious thing; incomprehensible; mysterious person (or thing); strange and interesting person (or thing); mysterious; inscrutable.
The etymology came from the Greek word mysterion, which meant 'secret religious ritual'.
Accompanying this mysterious department was a team of elite FBM members. There were white and black men, the men were tall and handsome, the women were sexy and attractive.
They weren't wearing uniforms. Instead, they were all dressed in fashionable clothes that accentuated their valiant and valiant postures. Standing there, they looked like heroes.
"Thank you, FBM, for your great contribution to the destruction of our world." The president concluded, "May God bless us."
The netizens all over the world were in an uproar. They were completely at a loss because they had a glimpse of the true state of the world.
Chen Jiahwa glanced at the group chat on his phone. Out of 10 messages, 8 of them were talking about FBM.
Now they knew the reason the mortality rate of the legionella pneumonia was so high was due to supernatural forces. The US president did not reveal the exact reason but it was probably FBM that solved the problem and saved the world from destruction.
"Do we have such a department in our country?" Wei Mingxuan asked as he sent a dog emoji.
Ren Yu replied, "I think so, every country in the world has one. It's just that they used to keep it a secret."
Li Jiaqi replied, "Of course there is but they probably don't have much combat power …"
Wang Zirui replied, "They probably just want to make sure they don't turn into demons after the founding of China."
'That can't be right?' Chen Jiahwa was still excited but he was annoyed by these comments. He typed on his phone, "Perhaps they're even more powerful than FBM? That's why the black fog hasn't appeared in our country. "He was about to reply when he stopped. After some thought, he deleted it …
Perhaps deep down, even he did not believe what he said.
"Aiz!" Chen Jiahwa couldn't help but sigh. He was reminded of the group of people from the disease control centre who caused a ruckus on the street a few days ago … There was really no harm without comparison. Look at them and then look at these superheroes from FBM.
He sighed and typed a new line of text. "It should be okay, after all, our military is not weak."
At the same time, the pessimistic group sent a bunch of emojis. They all said they had to stop talking or they would be investigated.
Chen Jiahwa's statement was ignored.
