The hurried footsteps of a group of people could be heard in the hotel corridor as they rushed towards the banquet hall.
Meng Zhaodong was one of them. He was the leader of the Special Mobile Force at GOA's New York headquarters. He knew spells and Ancient Seal. He had been on many missions but this time, there was a sense of nervousness and surprise to him.
The situation this time was not as black and white as in the past.
The target of the mission was Gu Jun.
The door leading from the corridor to the banquet hall was already guarded by GOA members. Other than that, there were FBM members who were alerted.
GOA's activities in America would be monitored by FBM. The activities of Gu Jun's entourage in America had to be reported to FBM as well, that included the banquet tonight. Now that something had happened at the banquet, FBM was notified immediately. The unit that was on standby arrived immediately.
Michael Jess, the muscular middle-aged black man was the leader of the FBM unit. He was guarding the banquet hall like he was about to face his greatest enemy.
They were also familiar with spells and Ancient Seal. They were armed with automatic rifles and the safety was off. The unit was ready to charge into the banquet hall at any moment.
"Michael!" Meng Zhaodong hurried to call, "What's the situation now?"
Even though the banquet hall was crowded with celebrities, there were actually many surveillance cameras installed inside the banquet hall. They could see everything that had happened since the beginning. The surveillance team relayed the situation to the guests through the walkie-talkie. The situation inside the banquet hall was still under control. Gu Jun destroyed the nightingale shortly after summoning it. Then he used the Ancient Seal again.
Wei Yisen and the rest did not do anything drastic. One, they did not want to provoke Gu Jun and two, they might not be able to stop Gu Jun with their current power.
They had guns but if Gu Jun summoned the Byakee or used an even scarier spell …
The higher-ups had already warned them that Gu Jun had that kind of power. He could kill them and all the guests instantly and twist them into a ball of twisted flesh.
The guests were scared out of their wits, especially some of the older people, whose expressions were very ugly. However, the mental erosion caused by Nightingale was not large, and the impact was limited. Gu Jun did not make it attack, and it did not stay for long. Therefore, the guests were generally in good condition, and no one needed emergency treatment.
The surveillance team believed that Gu Jun was still controlling the situation and had not completely lost control.
Therefore, the FBM squad led by Michael Jess didn't force their way in, instead, they waited.
"The situation is not good, but it's not too bad either." Michael Jess said with a hoarse voice unique to African Americans. "Captain Gu did not respond to our shouts, he has been talking about his theory and all the guests have heard him." They heard him as well, some of the information was the first time they heard it.
If the world was not made healthy as soon as possible, life with negative choices would soon return.
There were other dark forces, even stranger and more difficult to deal with diseases …
Hemoptysis was an epidemic disease that did not rely on common exogenous or endogenous pathogens to cause and spread. All patients with hemoptysis would start to get sick like this. Their lungs would start to swell and their lung function would start to fail. They would first cough, then cough up blood …
People would die. No matter where they hid, as long as they belonged to this civilization, they would be infected.
This was because this civilization was sick.
Countries would fall one after another, cities would descend into silence …
But humanity still had a chance to stop this disaster from happening, or at least delay its arrival until a few hundred years or even a thousand years later. That way, humanity would have more time to develop itself, to solve it, to cure it …
This required everyone to work together to pursue a healthier, fairer and more dignified world.
"Saving others is also saving ourselves. Making the world healthier is also making ourselves healthier."
At that moment, Gu Jun's voice came from the banquet hall again. "Or else, I dare say, none of you here will be able to escape. It doesn't matter if you're a tycoon, a celebrity, a person in power, none of you will be able to escape. You will die in agony. Your friends, family, lovers, children, they will all be the same. "
Michael Jess frowned at Meng Zhaodong. He did not comment but at the same time, he asked, 'What is with Captain Gu's theory?'
Meng Zhaodong shook his head slightly. His heart was heavy, he did not dare to imagine it …
He could not tell the truth from the lie because the internal members of Phecda, GOA and FBM all had their own level of authority. People like Gu Jun who were not restricted by the level of authority due to their unique ability were few and far between. In fact, this was the first time Meng Zhaodong heard the term 'hemoptysis'.
Perhaps this theory was based on information or perhaps … it was a product of Captain Gu's mental breakdown …
Either way, it would not be a happy ending.
A few days ago, Meng Zhaodong met with Gu Jun at GOA's headquarters. Gu Jun did not look like he had lost his mind at all. However, some madness was not apparent.
"Michael, I think we should focus on our job." Meng Zhaodong said.
"Okay, you're right." Michael Jess nodded. In their line of work, it was not a good thing to know too much information, it would make things difficult for their superiors. "Then what do we do now? Should we wake Captain Gu up? "
At that moment, a new situation entered everyone's ears from the walkie-talkie.
"Warning, warning! The target is moving, he's heading towards your door. "
Instantly, both GOA and FBM went into high alert. Meng Zhaodong yelled into the banquet hall, "Captain Gu, this is Meng Zhaodong! Please calm down, we're outside with FBM, please do not do anything dangerous … "
"The target hasn't stopped, he's still moving. He'll arrive in about 5 seconds. Get ready, 3, 2, 1 …"
Meng Zhaodong and Michael Jess were on high alert. Their grip on their guns tightened.
The few holding the taser guns were especially nervous, they readied themselves to act at any moment.
That was Gu Jun …
Their superiors had warned them not to harm him unless the situation was completely out of control because losing him would be a great loss to the entire world …
When Gu Jun approached the door, his pace did not change. He walked out of the door and stood in the middle of the crowd. Many guns were aimed at him.
"Captain Meng, Captain Jess." Gu Jun looked at them calmly and greeted them like nothing had happened in the banquet hall. "I'm sorry to trouble you but I'm doing this because I have work to do. Come on, do you want me to cuff you? "
Gu Jun's calmness surprised everyone.
"Captain Gu, there's no need for that. Just follow us." Meng Zhaodong followed his superior's order, "But don't use any spells."
"Captain Gu, if you're still conscious, then I don't think I need to explain too many rules to you." Michael Jess said gruffly, "This is New York, this is our territory. We won't be afraid of you but we don't wish to harm you either."
Gu Jun nodded silently. He walked down the corridor and told them, "Everything I've said earlier is true."
Meng Zhaodong and Michael Jess did not have time to think. They followed him immediately. They didn't even take one step into the banquet hall. The mess here was left to the other departments to clean up. This included the treatment, mental examination, counselling, confidentiality and so on.
Wei Yisen and the rest of the GOA members stayed behind to maintain order in the banquet hall. They were feeling quite sad.
Finally, the murmurs of conversation came from the banquet hall again. It grew louder and louder.
It was the guests who had regained their composure and were able to speak again. Their minds were working again, and the shock from earlier, Gu Jun's words, all came flooding back.
They looked at each other. Gu Jun's words echoed in their minds. No matter how rich or powerful they were, no one could escape …
"Then what is going on? I swear to God, that is not magic or an illusion … "
"That's a supernatural power, isn't it? I knew it, I knew it existed in this world … "
"Is the 'hemoptysis' that Mr. Gu mentioned real? We need an explanation! "
"My Lord … How long has it been since the legionella pneumonia? Can we have a few days of peace in this world … "
