The screen in this Special Ops meeting room was playing a blurry video. It was taken at Qing An City 10 minutes ago.
The sky was so dark that it was almost pitch-black. Torrential rain was still pouring down, but the bloody rain was mixed with balls of dark red hard objects. Some of them were as big as a palm, some were like marbles, and some were like newly fallen hailstones, falling from the sky.
When the hailstones landed on the cars on the road, they blasted holes in them. The already chaotic road was riddled with various accidents.
However, not many people got out of the car and left. Even so, it seemed safer to stay in the car than to go outside.
Blood rain, strange black frogs jumping in the rain, and all kinds of flying flies and insects, as well as strange and unknown humanoid species …
The buildings along the street had their doors closed. The loudspeakers kept reminding people to stay indoors and not go out.
The hailstones threatened to destroy the whole city. They smashed holes in the buildings and shook the trees.
The city was slowly turning into a living hell. The same thing was happening to 9 other cities around the world.
"This incident is a big challenge for us."
There were about 10 people sitting at the two sides of the table. They were all the core members of the Special Ops. The leader was Ji Chengtao.
This middle-aged man in his 50s had once joined the Special Mobile Force. Due to his good background, he was promoted faster than the others. It was not that Ji Chengtao was incapable, he was just overshadowed by Huang Guotong, Yao Sinian and the rest. In the end, he was able to return to the Special Ops.
Ji Chengtao was one of the people who advocated for the investigation of Gu Jun.
Everyone here knew this. Whether it was the rumor that Ji Chengtao used the power struggle to climb to the top or the fact that he did not trust Gu Jun, it was best not to talk about this person in front of Ji Chengtao.
It was best not to talk about Gu Jun in front of Ji Chengtao, that was not something the Special Ops leader wanted to discuss. The incident with Gu Jun was already in the past.
"We are a new department but none of us here are newbies."
Ji Chengtao said as he scanned the group of people. Xiang Jiantian, Zhuo Hua, Tan Qinmin and the rest were not ordinary people. However, some of them were not on good terms with the Spell Department, some of them were seconded from Mysterium.
"I believe you understand that the supernatural force behind this disaster is very powerful," Ji Chengtao paused, "And we can't rule out the possibility that it's related to Gu Jun and Wu Shiyu. I don't care what the Spell Department says, the first to study the power of ancient Egypt was Yu Chi and Gu Jun. You know Yu Chi sacrificed himself in the womb of the black goat because it was the collective consciousness of the Society of Life. But from another perspective, Yu Chi has been completely corrupted by the black mountain goat's power. "
Hearing that, the two members from Mysterium couldn't help but frown.
"Yu Chi has probably become a part of the collective consciousness of the Society of Negative Choice, just like what Bronx Lenton told him when he was recording, 'welcome to join'."
Ji Chengtao's face retained some of his youthful handsomeness, completely different from Huang Guotong who often looked like a drunkard.
"The Spell Department presumptuously concluded that this incident has nothing to do with the Society of Negative Choice but we have the responsibility to question it. What if the Society of Negative Choice is related? What if it's related to Yu Chi? What if Gu Jun was also corrupted at the Black Goat Palace or he was unable to escape or he had some kind of connection with Yu Chi that allowed him to gain that kind of supernatural power — did he also gain that power through some kind of secret research? Just like Wu Shiyu.
Wu Shiyu is another problem. Her connection with the black goat is obvious. She must be connected to some kind of power to gain that kind of power.
We have to continue our investigation on this. We need to arrange for Wu Shiyu's parents and her cousin to lure her out, she will be the key. Wu Shiyu might provide us with clues or she might be the enemy itself. Everyone … "
Ji Chengtao's tone became harsher. "The enemy might be from within. After all, the power of darkness is not something that can be corrupted by anyone. We are investigating the Spell Department and the Spell Department is investigating us. We are still under the supervision of the Review Department. "
Everyone around the conference table nodded silently.
"The other thing is to investigate Professor Sun Lun." Ji Chengtao continued, "Now Professor Sun is under the control of the Spell Department. I've applied for our own interrogation time. Make good use of it. This is a special period, we can use any method we want. Other than that, there is no need for the people from the Spell Department to be present. "
On the other side, Zhuo Hua who used to be a member of the Spell Department asked, "Minister Ji, you mean even if we get a clue, we will not share it with the Spell Department?"
"Of course." Ji Chengtao said as he shot a questioning look at her. "The investigation on the Spell Department has not been completed yet, we have no idea who is the problem and who is not. If we leak the clue, what if the enemy finds out? "
Zhuo Hua nodded and did not say anything else.
Actually, everyone understood that there was another aspect that did not need to be pointed out and that was the issue of credit.
The Special Operations Department was a new department and had yet to gain a firm foothold. They needed to prove their worth by performing meritorious deeds. It was the same for themselves as well as the other departments.
"In another hour, the Special Mobile Force from the Spell Department will depart for Qing An." Ji Chengtao added, "How are our preparations?"
"We're ready to go." Xiang Jiantian answered. He would be the leader of the Special Operations Division's Special Mobile Force. Other than the members from the Special Operations Division, there were 35 members from the headquarters, including Lee Zhenjing and Zhang Jingjing from the Special Operations Division. They were the elites of the division.
Other than that, there were some Phecda students recruited from Mo Bei Base.
"Jiantian, try your best to reduce the number of casualties." Ji Chengtao seemed to be thinking about something. "Cooperate with the Spell Department. After all, they have experience. Rely on them and do not overestimate yourself. The same goes for all other aspects of your work. "
There could be casualties, sometimes it was unavoidable but they could not allow a complete wipeout.
They needed to build up a team like the original members of the Spell Department, like Gu Jun and Wu Shiyu, they had survived many bloody battles to become the backbone of the team.
"Understood." Xiang Jiantian nodded. The others were expressionless.
Those who were able to sit in this meeting room were the core members of the Special Action Department. They were now part of the Special Action Department, there was nothing to hide.
They could hear the underlying meaning in Minister Ji's words, the Special Action Department needed to learn how to avoid danger, let the Spell Department be the vanguard.
Someone had to be the vanguard, if it was not this or that, then let the Spell Department be the vanguard.
