* Bang! *
Amidst the loud noise, a large hole was blasted through the wall of a bank.
Several bandits rushed out of the wall, the guns in their hands spitting out sparks like typewriters.
On the other side, the sounds of crying, police sirens, and fire trucks converged to form a noisy scene.
"Damn it! It's the Mad Bomber Sikov! This is already his third crime this month! "
A few patrolmen hid behind cover and were suppressed by the enemy's firepower to the point that they could barely lift their heads. One of the patrolmen's ears was even bloodshot from the shock. He complained loudly, "Where did the enemy get so much high explosive gunpowder? Are the Federal Customs officers eating sh * t? How could they let such a large amount of firearms flow into the country? "
He was not the only one who was depressed. The patrolmen beside him were also very depressed.
These bandits' firepower was too strong. They fired all kinds of bullets at random and committed crimes in a frenzy. It was as if they did not care about the patrolmen at all.
"Forget it, request for military reinforcements!"
A senior inspector gritted his teeth. "Even if it's embarrassing, it's better than letting the criminal get away!"
"Senior Inspector Austin?!"
At that moment, a dozen black steam vehicles with flames trailing behind them quickly arrived at the scene. A cold man in a black trench coat and sunglasses got out of the vehicles.
"The Investigation Bureau will deal with Sikov. You patrol officers just need to cooperate!"
"B * stard, what did you say?"
Asking for help was completely different from letting someone else invade one's domain of authority. Austin immediately roared. "Do you know what you're talking about? According to the law, you don't have this authority! "
"Actually, I do!"
The officer from the Investigation Bureau took out a letter of appointment. "The federal constitution is higher than the laws of the cities. According to the president's order, I will temporarily take over your command in the name of the constitution!
Now, get your men to withdraw. He's not someone you can deal with! "
The man in the trench coat smirked. His disdain caused Austin's face to turn even redder. But soon after, the sound of tracks could be heard. He turned his head in shock and saw a monster with a large body and many cannon barrels slowly moving along the road. It was like a cannon turret, and all the cars in its path were mercilessly run over by it, turning them into a pile of metal pancakes.
"That's … a Federal heavy tank!"
Austin's face was pale. "You actually mobilized the army into the city? And you even used this kind of weapon … Oh my god! Do you know how much damage this will cause? "
"I only know how to catch criminals!"
The man in the trench coat smiled nonchalantly. "As for how to appease the citizens and deal with the aftermath, that's a headache for the mayor and his aides …"
Not far away, following the roar of the multi-turreted tank, the bandits on the other side were instantly plunged into a hell of flesh and blood …
…
The headquarters of the Office of Paranormal Phenomena.
It was set up in a huge underground bomb shelter. Many researchers in white coats were busy working, and their leader was the once destitute Professor Luther.
"Professor, how is it?"
In the main control room, Lucius held a toothpick in his mouth and looked at the screen divided into nine grids with Luther.
"According to the previous intelligence from the Investigation Bureau, excluding some accidental injuries, we have confirmed and successfully arrested three Arcanists!"
Lucius said in a surprised tone, "This is only because they don't know how to restrain themselves. If they jump out on their own, there must be more hidden!"
"I'm working hard to study these three samples and try to develop a detection device. That way, I won't have to waste a lot of manpower and resources to eliminate them one by one!"
Professor Luther pushed up his glasses.
Ever since he received support and recognition, not only his career, but even his entire person had been rejuvenated.
At this moment, he said in a fanatical tone, "Look! This is sample number one. The Investigation Bureau has checked his family and social relations eight times, and he is completely an ordinary person. Three months ago, there was nothing strange about him, but now, he has an Arcanist and used it to sweep away more than five million gold dollars from many casinos … "
"You mean … Arcanists aren't born like this, but some existence or accident made him become like this?"
Lucius frowned.
"This is not the key. Keep watching …"
Professor Luther's mouth twitched.
Lucius stared at the screen. It was a prison cell, and Lake was tied up like a mental patient. Only his neck and mouth could barely move.
"Lake! We know everything about you. You are just an ordinary person. How did you become like this? "
A guy who was good at torture was carefully questioning him.
"I can't say!"
Lake seemed to want to surrender, but after saying this, he immediately shut up. No matter what kind of torture he endured, he would not speak again.
"This is a recording, right?"
Lucius asked uncertainly. In the Federation, all kinds of advanced technology were at least ten to twenty years ahead of the outside world. "What happened to the prisoner?"
"Later, I authorized the use of truth-telling serum on sample number one!"
Luther pressed the fast forward button and said regretfully, "It's almost there …"
On the screen, Lucius saw Lake being forced down a large amount of serum, and his consciousness seemed to be blurred.
"Now, tell me!"
A strong white man grabbed his hair. "Your ability, what's going on? Where did you get it? "
"The dosage is not enough! Continue to increase it! "
After several large bottles, Lake was almost foaming at the mouth. Finally, he muttered a few words. "The cycle of the world …"
Suddenly, after saying this word, his eyeballs popped out, his body twitched, and he stiffened.
"He's dead …" Professor Luther sighed.
Professor Luther sighed and said, "I clearly tested his physique. That small amount of truth serum would at most burn his brain. It shouldn't be fatal."
"And on the other two samples, I also got a similar conclusion! It's not that they don't want to say it, but that they can't! This is a very interesting situation! "
…
"You mean, some kind of restriction?"
Lucius frowned. "A restriction beyond our imagination, like a curse. Once they tell the truth, they will die?"
"Yes, that's what I mean!"
Professor Luther said excitedly. "Lucius, we have to admit that we know almost nothing about supernatural abilities, so we have to make a hypothesis first …"
"If there really is such an existence that can bestow superpowers to ordinary people, what is it?"
Lucius touched his chin. "The cycle of the world?"
The language used by the Federation was different from that of the Golden Oak Kingdom. The wording was different, and the meaning was often very different.
He thought carefully, and it was as if a bolt of lightning had struck his mind. "The cycle of the world? Infinite world … reincarnation!!! "
Lucius suddenly shouted, "That book! That novel! Damn it! God, the clue was so obvious. It was right beside us, but I never discovered it! "
"Lucius, what did you discover?"
Luther frowned, clearly unable to understand Lucius's excitement.
"Professor, I will explain this to you later. But now, I have to move immediately to monitor a certain author … He is too important. He is simply the root of everything!"
Lucius's entire body trembled as he said this.
If it was really as he had guessed, that there was such a mysterious existence that could easily bestow power to others, then what was it? A true god, or a demon?
Can the strength of the Bauhinia Federation deal with such an existence?
At the thought that even a small city like Eagle City in the Golden Oak Kingdom had a secret association of the other party's caretakers, Lucius's excited mood suddenly turned cold.
"What's wrong with you?"
Professor Luther asked, puzzled.
"Professor … I mean if … if one day, a true god descends, do you think our Redbud Flower Federation will have the power to resist?"
Lucius was silent for a long time before finally asking in a dry voice.
"A true god?"
Professor Luther obviously did not expect Lucius to ask this question. He was stunned for a moment before replying, "I don't know …"
"As expected …"
Lucius gave a bitter laugh, looking very dejected.
"But I believe in one thing. Our science is the greatest miracle! The reason why we can't explain the mystery now is because our understanding has not reached that stage yet! "
Professor Luther then replied firmly, "A true god? Perhaps it's just a creature that we can't understand. As long as we continue to climb along the current path, one day, we will completely understand him. Perhaps by that time, each of us will return to history and be regarded as the so-called 'True God' … "
"Thank you, Professor!"
Lucius thanked him sincerely. "I feel much better after hearing you say that!"
"And … with the current strength of our Federation, we might even be able to fight against a true god!"
A mysterious expression suddenly appeared on Professor Luther's face. "You know, I have many classmates and friends. Not only do they work in the Golden Oak Kingdom and the Pandoen Empire, but most of them are also working for the Redbud Flower Federation … In addition, the level of confidentiality of our current work is enough for us to come into contact with some of the true secrets of the Federation …"
"What secret?"
Lucius was confused.
"Do you remember the development project in the Great Western Wastelands? That was just a pretense. The real purpose of the Federation was to build a powerful secret weapon. In theory, its power is enough to destroy the entire world! "
Professor Luther said in a surprised tone. "If there is any weapon in our Federation that even the gods fear, it must be that!"
