"Captain Yang, Captain Yang, slowly approach the truck. Remember, the objective of this mission is to clearly investigate the situation in the rear compartment. You must avoid any conflict with the Black Pharaoh. Once the Black Pharaoh indicates that you need to retreat, then retreat."
The order from the command center reached the ears of the Secret Service team members.
Yuan Baowen was the representative of the higher-ups. Because Tong Ye's proposal was considered too passive and passive, the higher-ups decided to take some initiative at the same time, even though they were still calling the crows and contacting Wu Shiyu. The situation had developed to a point where it could not be delayed any longer.
The Secret Service team led by Yang Youyuan only had six people. They were not the most elite personnel in Da Hua City, but at the moment, they were a suicide squad with a heavy responsibility.
The scorching noon sun cast its scorching rays down. The CBD commercial pedestrian plaza was as quiet as a ruin. The truck was parked in the center of the plaza.
The team of six slowly approached the truck. Strange noises were still coming from the truck, making them feel as if they were approaching an abyss.
When they were about ten steps away from the truck, Yang Youyuan began to tremble with fear. His forehead was covered in sweat.
The door of the truck was open, and the green canvas covered the strange thing inside.
"I'll go take a look first …" Yang Youyuan whispered to the team members around him. He did not carry a gun. Guns had been proven to be unable to kill the Black Pharaoh. He was going to take a look and negotiate. When he slowly walked to the side of the truck, he raised his head and looked into the truck through the gap in the canvas. Suddenly, a huge force seemed to hit him …
In an instant, the inside of the truck seemed to have turned into another space, and inside it was a different scene.
It was a ruined city, a chaotic city, a massacre, and a collapse. It was a dark shadow that could only be seen in the middle of the night when one was insane. It was a barren desert where every grain of sand was a howling ghost …
But it was only for a moment, and the huge force let him go. Yang Youyuan forced himself to calm down. He took a deep breath and looked at the scene inside the truck.
The tall and thin figure was moving towards a pile of strange metal instruments. There were various chemical materials in the glass containers, as if he was an alchemist.
Yang Youyuan stood by the side of the car, wanting to say something but hesitating. He wanted to know what the other party was creating …
He paused for a moment, and finally felt that asking directly was the best way, so he asked, "Sir, what are you making?"
The tall and thin figure looked over. His dark-skinned face was like a nightmare, mixed with a strange sense of guilt and a strange attraction. "? That sort of thing. "
Yang Youyuan stared blankly at the pile of broken metal instruments. How could that be …
However, it was precisely that pile of scrap metal that had a sickly glow at its corner. It was as if a dark sun was hidden within it, and a huge amount of energy was condensed within it. Once it exploded, the illusion from before would become reality. It hid such a terrifying future.
"I'll probably spend another six hours to finish it," the tall and thin figure said, "Then, this is a gift for you."
After that, the tall and thin figure continued to pour another unknown chemical material into the glass jar.
Something was tumbling, stirring, and boiling in the vat …
Yang Youyuan looked at it and it appeared to be boiling in his heart as well.
He hurriedly turned to leave. If he stayed any longer, his mind would completely collapse.
"Command central, command central, we've confirmed the target …"
…
After hearing Captain Yang's report, the command central sunk into a deeper haze. Everyone had different expressions.
They did not dare to imagine it, they could not imagine it.
There was someone who knew more information. Gu Jun had once mentioned, Nyarlathotep, City of Angels …
There was still a giant abyss that looked like a black hole at the Xuanji district of Mo Bei.
If the Black Pharaoh was Nyarlathotep, then its casual and absurd words could very well be the truth.
The power of darkness could wield the power of technology, and it was more advanced than humans and the Yith.
No one was willing to verify the truth of its words with facts.
Yuan Baowen's wrinkled face was scrunched up to its limit. He was silent, not knowing what to say. How could they stop such an existence?
Yuan Baowen hesitated at the command center before he walked to the conference room. His steps faltered.
…
"Whether it is true or not, we have to solve this as soon as possible. … This will not go on. "
"What can be done is already being done. I sent people to Ulthar at Dreamlands to look for the Great Atal, the cat, and Wu Siyu. However, the Zoogs said they could not find any channel. I suspected it was the Black Pharaoh who had destroyed all the nearby channels. He definitely had that kind of power. Continue to call the crow, do it; investigate, do it. As for how to surround and kill the Black Pharaoh, I'll still say the same thing. With its strength, sending mortals would just be sending them to their deaths. Moreover, it might cause the other party to change their current relationship and become even worse … It's looking for Crow, and this matter might only be solved by Crow. "
"Guotong, don't talk about throwing your life away. You have to be prepared for the worst at all times. If the situation is really that bad, we still need someone to risk their life …"
"That's what I mean. How will we know if we don't try? Perhaps we can defeat the enemy through a war of attrition? We shouldn't limit ourselves too much. We'll be spooked by the enemy's tricks. No matter what, we can't just sit here and do nothing. We need to do something. "
"Yes, that truck, that website, we need to send out a team to explore them. At this crucial moment, we need to be prepared to sacrifice ourselves. "
"If you really want to do this, you can do it. But I'll still say the same thing. The most important thing right now is how to summon the crows!"
"Are you sure the crow is still on our side? It was the crow that was summoned but the Black Pharaoh came out. The crow still hasn't shown up. Is it possible that everything that is happening now has something to do with the crow? Guo Tong, you said it yourself, the crow is not Gu Jun. What is the crow's stance, what is the condition under which the crow will help us, what is the crow's mind, we have no idea. "
"If not for the fact that the crow saved us by destroying the ram, I would agree with you. Can't you see that even though the crow is not Gu Jun, they are protecting this world in their own way? Kelma also said that the crow will pay the price. Perhaps this is the price. "
"Let's not argue about that. Guo Tong, if the crow isn't willing to talk to us, then find someone it is willing to talk to. We also need to mobilize the confirmed and suspected family members of the crows. I don't mean to hurt them, of course, we still need to protect them, but they might be able to summon the crows. With the current situation, we can't just stand by and do nothing. We need to let them participate in the work of summoning the crows and crows. "
"Guo Tong, just make it clear to them. These people are reasonable."
"I don't think it has anything to do with that. Chen Jiahwa also said that the crow might be ignoring us because he thinks that Gu Jun hasn't gotten justice. Our current priority should be to give justice to Ah Jun. I don't have the authority to know the truth, but shouldn't someone take responsibility for Ah Jun's death? Those who should take responsibility, those who should apologize, we need to give a satisfactory explanation to the crow. Whether we announce this to the public or not is another matter, but at least Ah Jun's family and friends should know the truth. "
"The investigation has been ongoing … It's only been half a year, we need more time to complete the investigation. There's nothing suspicious at the moment. "
"Giving justice to Ah Jun is something we all hope for. No one here doesn't want to do that, but there are complications behind it … Gu Jun's tomb, Gu Jun's statue have been repaired. So many things happened in such a short time, we can't have everything at the same time. The most important thing now is to deal with this Black Pharaoh. After everything settles down, we'll arrange an internal investigation. "
"Whenever we talk about this problem, you guys just keep pushing and shoving! The Spell Department is almost certain that the crow isn't satisfied with Phecda, he's not satisfied with you guys, he wants justice. We're at a critical juncture now, why are you still pushing and shoving? Are you the ones who have to take responsibility? "
"Guo Tong, when did we ever mistreat Gu Jun? Whatever glory he deserves, we'll give it to him; when did we not agree to his request for authority that goes against the rules of the organization? That review was based on reasonable suspicion, everything that happened after that was an accident. If we have to point out the mistake made by the independent review team, it's that they didn't grasp the limit of Gu Jun's mental endurance. But as you know, that's Gu Jun. Many people think he has no upper limit in terms of mental endurance, that's why they couldn't grasp his limit. That's a mistake, we've already questioned them about it. "
"Are you trying to push all the blame away? What did I say at the time? I said Ah Jun needs rest, do you guys know him as well as I do? The kid is about to go crazy, but you guys are still pushing him, pushing him into that kind of situation. Now you say it's a mistake, and that's it? Don't say I don't know the gravity of the situation, I don't know when to settle the score. If we don't solve this problem, the crow won't come out. Who do you think we're facing now? Nyarlathotep, the God of a Thousand Faces, the Locust God, the Black Pharaoh, this one is the enemy of the Black Goat, that one is a believer of the Black Goat … To deal with this enemy, we just need to send a few teams to their deaths? The City of Dusk was probably destroyed by it as well. Now, only those like the crow and Wu Shiyu have a chance against it … "
"Guo Tong, there's no such thing as the truth, the truth is as it is now, it's the result of some mistakes and accidents."
"Stop nagging, the truth might not be what you think. Let's continue to summon the crow and test the Black Pharaoh. We need to hurry."
Suddenly, just as everyone was having a heated discussion, the air in the conference rooms where multiple remote video conferences were being held suddenly froze.
There were only two people in the conference room at the headquarters' command central, Elder Tong and Yuan Baowen. They stared at the screen. One of the conference rooms was located in a fortress at the outskirts of Da Hwa City. It was an underground environment without any windows. However, a gust of cold wind ruffled the documents on the conference table.
It also caused the skin of the person sitting at the table to shiver.
Out of nowhere, in the shadow at the corner of the conference room, a tall figure in a plague doctor's outfit stood there. He was holding a pistol in his right hand.
Tong Ye was surprised as well. Yuan Baowen hurriedly warned, "Be careful … the crow …"
The faces of the people in the other conference rooms on the screen changed. They became very ugly and stood up one after another.
Meanwhile, in the underground fortress conference room, their bodies were stiff and motionless. They had already seen this anomaly from the monitor of the conference room.
