Chen Zhao hurried to the Supernatural Organization.
Because of Fali's encounter, Chen Zhao realized the severity of the matter.
Fali had her own treatment. Otherwise, she might not have ended up well.
The octopus was extremely aggressive. Even though it was attached to a person, it was still very dangerous.
It was fine if they were careful, but if they weren't careful, the healer might become the injured person being treated.
After arriving at the headquarters, Chen Zhao found West.
"What's the situation now?"
"An unknown octopus has been found on almost every beach along the Los Angeles coastline. This octopus seems to be particularly fond of attacking mammals. The first to discover the octopus was a couple. They were taking their dog for a walk on the beach, and then something happened to the dog. The wife found an octopus attached to the dog, so she used her hand to fiddle with it. As a result, the octopus slipped into the wife's hand, and the wife collapsed. The husband immediately called the police. The Los Angeles police also received about 20 similar reports in a very short period of time. They then reported it to the security department, and then the security department passed the information to us."
"The security department sent it to us?" Chen Zhao was surprised.
The Counter-Terrorism Department had never been on good terms with them. Why would they give the mission to them now?
Didn't the Counter-Terrorism Department always give missions to the psionic team?
After all, the psionic team was a direct subordinate of the Counter-Terrorism Department. They were their own children.
Usually, missions given to the Supernatural Organization were too difficult for the psionic team to handle.
Or maybe there was a trap waiting for the Supernatural Organization to jump in.
"You think it's a trap?"
"No." West shook his head. "Probably because they don't have the energy to deal with this. Aren't they arranging the expedition to Bermuda? Plus, the psionic team probably can't do anything about it either."
West paused. Then he looked at Chen Zhao. "President, do you have a plan?"
"If it's just the injured people, it's not a big problem. I can treat them, but what about afterwards? Since those mutated octopuses appeared along the coastline of LA, it means that there's more. With the Supernatural Organization and the Counter-Terrorism Department's authority, they can lock down the entire coastline for three to five days. But if they can't find the source, it'll be difficult. "
More than 20 people had been attacked in a day. This meant that there were a lot of these things.
So, they had to find the source. If they couldn't, it would be useless no matter how hard they worked.
But how could they find clues? In that case, the Counter-Terrorism Security Department would be in charge of intelligence.
The Supernatural Society has no intelligence system.
But would the anti-terrorism security department honestly give them the information?
This made Chen Zhao very suspicious.
"Don't tell me the purpose of the anti-terrorism security department is to charge us with incompetence and then dismiss us?"
"They don't have the guts to do anything. This matter is not small. If this matter is not resolved, we will have to bear the consequences. Do you think they will feel better?"
At the end of the day, they were all subordinates and superiors.
If this got out of hand, both departments would be in trouble.
"However, the Anti-Terrorism Security Department is made up of ordinary people. Although they have an intelligence department, it's difficult for them to get involved in matters of the supernatural world. So, this time, it won't be just us; I'm guessing that the psionic team will also get involved."
"So, we have to work together?" Chen Zhao asked, narrowing his eyes.
"It might not be cooperation. We might just stab each other in the back," West said helplessly.
Don't expect two enemies to love each other and help each other through the difficulties in the face of danger.
It was more likely that they would fight to the death before settling the problem.
This wasn't the right thing to do, but it was human nature.
"Let's not worry about the anti-terrorism security department and the psionic team. Let's talk about the clues we have now."
"No clues at the moment." West looked at Chen Zhao helplessly.
"Then gather our people. Let's discuss the specifics of the situation."
Everyone went to the meeting room. Chen Zhao saw that Dongye Tianxi and Nagasaka Reiko had come in together.
When Nagasaka Reiko entered the room, she immediately gave Chen Zhao a 90-degree bow.
"President, hello. This is my first time attending an official meeting. Please take care of me."
Sitting in his seat, Chen Zhao covered his face and rubbed his forehead.
Dongye Tianxi was rather awkward too. He pushed Nagasaka Reiko. "Reiko, go sit down."
Nagasaka Reiko was an unofficial member and also an international student at UCLA.
So, she didn't come to the headquarters often.
Moreover, she'd missed a few of the Supernatural Society's activities due to various reasons.
She'd gone abroad to study with her family's mission.
But she hadn't made any progress.
So, she was very discouraged.
Luckily, she didn't miss it this time.
She finally had a chance to show off her abilities.
When West saw that almost everyone had arrived, he asked for everyone to quiet down before explaining the incident in detail.
"If any of you have any opinions, suggestions, or different opinions, you can speak now," Klaus said.
At this moment, Klaus said, "There's too little effective information at the moment. The first thing we need to confirm is the other party's motive. Regardless of whether these octopuses are the product of an individual or some organization, they must have a motive for releasing them. Is it purely to attack ordinary people? To create chaos? Or is there a deeper goal? "
"Only the L.A. coastline?" Nagasaka Reiko asked.
"Only the L.A. coastline so far," West said.
"Then we can ignore whether the subsequent incidents will spread. What we can confirm is that the source should be within L.A. or nearby waters, so the L.A. coastline happened first," Nagasaka Reiko said. "We can investigate whether there are any related or similar research departments in L.A. and the surrounding areas."
West nodded. "Indeed, we can research in this area."
"Engelite," Rouen Faxben said. "Come with me to fish out some mutated octopuses. I want to study them."
"Sure."
Although the situation was still developing, it was still under control.
If they didn't solve it soon, it would soon go out of the anti-terrorism department's control.
"If similar incidents happen in other areas, report to me immediately," Chen Zhao said.
"President, do you know any researchers who study octopuses? Find one and ask. "
"Err …" Chen Zhao thought about it. Should he ask Wright?
