Chapter 270 The Second Prophecy of Destruction!
[Liu Li Island]
After these days of overt and covert competition between the three major forces, the brightest star on the "Star Wave" flag of the Seven Seas Federation is like a pearl covered in dust. The atmosphere was tense and depressing.
The air is filled with the invisible smell of gunpowder smoke.
No one knows whether the dispute will break out again.
Pedestrians walking on the road look in a hurry, especially when night is approaching, and they dare not stay on the street.
The island, which used to be bustling and noisy, actually looks a bit desolate and deserted.
In the Public Security Bureau of [Liuli Island].
A major in military uniform put down the documents in his hand, closed his eyes slightly, and put his hand on his forehead to relieve fatigue.
The conference table in front of him turned into a huge desk, filled with various official documents and files.
During this period of time, the Public Security Bureau of [Liuli Island] has been working at overload.
The disappearance of scholars at the institute, the massacre in a church, the serial murders in the city...
Not to mention the investigation of these incidents, just their aftermath, All are extremely cumbersome and heavy.
Before these days, members of the Public Security Bureau never imagined that they would be so busy.
This is [Liu Li Island]!
One of the most prosperous islands in the Federation.
Who would have thought that someone would be so bold as to commit such major crimes on this island.
It can be said that the workload of members of the Public Security Bureau these days is more than their workload in the past three years combined!
At this time, a captain pushed the door open and came in, delivering another stack of documents and saying with a gloomy face.
“[Apocalypse Chamber of Commerce] A businessman died suddenly at home, suspected of having a mental breakdown. His family asked us to find the real culprit as soon as possible.”
"Again?!"
Hearing this, the Public Security Bureau employees in the office suddenly let out a wail.
The major couldn't help complaining: "I've really had enough of these days!"
"I just don't understand why the superiors didn't just do something simple and deal with Nao Shizi directly. [Truth Society] [Hui Sect] and [Yu Sui Sect] declared war?”
“We just have to swallow our anger and let them run wild in our territory.”
His words couldn't help but resonate with many colleagues in the room.
"Yes, yes, let's just put all these heretics on wanted lists."
"Let's see if they dare to disobey federal laws!"
As a federal official soldiers, they have always had a strong sense of belonging and identification with the Federation.
In other words, they have a sense of arrogance in their hearts.
In fact, soldiers do have something to be proud of.
No matter what, the Federation is now the most extensive and powerful force on the Seven Seas.
In terms of overall strength, these three major forces combined may not be able to compete with the Federation.
Because of this, people in the Public Security Bureau cannot understand why the big shots above have kept silent about the recent chaos.
When it comes to war, is the Federation ever afraid of anyone?
Just when many people in the Public Security Bureau were filled with outrage.
A middle-aged man with gray hair coughed twice and sighed softly: "You guys, you still see too little."
Hearing this, the room suddenly became agitated. quiet.
If an ordinary person said this, he would probably be scolded, but the middle-aged man who spoke was not an ordinary person.
This man's name is Cameron, he is a veteran of the Public Security Bureau. He has at least forty years of experience and is considered a highly respected senior.
His words are quite prestigious within the Public Security Bureau.
After all, the major who complained earlier was young and energetic, and couldn't help but ask: "Why did the senior say this?"
"Don't you think the Federation is not the opponent of these three secret sects?"
Secret sects like [The Nether Sect] have always been collectively referred to as "secret sects" in the Federation.
"Of course not."
Cameron shook his head: "Our federation spreads across the seven seas, and its overall strength is certainly not comparable to that of the three secret sects."
"But the vast scope of influence is both our advantage and our disadvantage."< br>
“If we really go to war with these three secret sects, they can completely avoid the large federal forces, break into pieces, fight guerrillas with us, and frequently attack our weak defenses on various remote islands. "
"If this happens, more civilians will be involved in this dispute."
Thinking of that possibility, the major couldn't help but turn pale and frown deeply. rise.
"Of course, in the end, our federation will win the final victory."
Cameron continued: "It's just that the price to pay is bound to be extremely heavy."
>"Now, the three major secret sects seem to be very powerful, but they actually maintain considerable restraint and do not actively provoke us."
The major said puzzled: "But the attack on the Federal Research Institute ..."
"Huh..."
Cameron sneered: "Although the Federal Research Institute is nominally an industry of our federation, in recent years, they have become more and more independent and confidential."
"Not even our Sheriff's Department can Investigate in depth.”
“I suspect that the Federal Research Institute has actually deteriorated!”
These words caused a small uproar among the people.
And Cameron went on to say something shocking: “Quite a few of these scholars have turned into lunatics chasing ‘truth’.”
"The Hui Cult's action actually helped the federation eliminate members of the [Truth Society] in the institute."
"The deaths of several colleagues before were also related to their esoteric identities."< br>
Everyone’s expressions changed slightly, and they thought seriously about the authenticity of his words.
"The members of the Secret Cult are really hidden too deeply, and they have already taken root in every corner of the Federation."
Cameron looked at the major and sneered: "Actually, don't say Research Institute.”
"Believe it or not, right now, within our Public Security Bureau, there are also believers who quietly believe in the 'Lord of Glory', 'The Lord of the Deep' or 'Truth'."
When he said this, he Those cloudy eyes swept across the crowd, causing many people to look unnatural.
A few people even lowered their heads, not daring to look at them.
The major's expression became even more ugly.
However, Cameron did not expose the identities of these people, but laughed.
"It doesn't matter, belief is free."
"Federal law does not stipulate which sect is not allowed to believe in."
"It's just that you are all like this, let alone Those big shots in the federation?”
“Perhaps they are also believers in a certain sect?”
“If there is a war, the faction they belong to can really devote themselves to it. into the fight against the Secret Cult? And even if they can, can other factions really trust them?"
Upon hearing this, the major fell completely silent.
Just imagining that situation made him feel sweaty and stressed.
"So, sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight, watching the three major esoteric sects consume each other's fighting strength, is the best choice at present."
The wisdom of the elders flashed in Cameron's eyes, He spoke with sincerity and sincerity.
“Besides, how do you know that the federation really hasn’t taken any measures at all?”
After saying these words, the scene that had been filled with excitement before became almost silent.
Just as Cameron said, they did take it too lightly!
The major looked ashamed and bowed seriously.
"Senior Cameron, you have learned a lesson."
Cameron waved his hand: "It's just a bit of experience."
"No one can guess how this struggle will develop from now on."
Just when the members of the Public Security Bureau returned to their respective posts with their own concerns.
The door to the room was suddenly pushed open in a hurry.
A soldier rushed in in a panic and reported: "At the port... at the port, a small warship suddenly appeared!" Cameron frowned: "Warship? Suddenly appeared? At this time... …”
Due to the recent troubles caused by the three major esoteric sects, [Liu Li Island] once closed its port and implemented a strict port closure strategy to prevent people with evil intentions from taking the opportunity to sneak into and escape the island.
So, the appearance of such a warship is undoubtedly very abnormal.
The soldier took a breath and continued: "The warship seems to have been transmitted to the port with the help of some kind of spatial coordinates."
"The spatial coordinates, wait, could it be..."< br>
Cameron suddenly remembered something, and his expression suddenly changed.
He didn't even leave an explanation, he hurried out the door and rushed towards the port.
Seeing this, the major also realized the seriousness of the matter, and immediately brought a few good men with him to follow in the footsteps of senior Cameron.
……
……
It didn’t take long.
Cameron and his party hurried to the port.
The soldiers guarding the port have surrounded the unknown warship.
There were also several pastors from the Deep Sea Church praying in the crowd.
"Goddess above, may you protect us."
The pastor lowered his head and prayed to the goddess devoutly: "Please bear witness..."
Incense and holy oil have been lit to surround the warship in a special ritual.
In fact, this is the safest way to deal with an unknown ship.
Those ships returning from the depths of the sea are often contaminated by some mysterious force without even knowing it.
Rush contact is a sign of irresponsibility for the lives of soldiers and even the safety of [Liuli Island].
And soon, a solid black gas appeared in the incense, which lingered for a long time.
This made the priests look even more serious.
This black gas is proof that this warship has encountered strong pollution.
At this time, Cameron was still walking quickly in the direction of the warship.
The soldiers immediately stopped in front of him and said politely.
"Lieutenant Colonel Cameron, this warship is severely contaminated and must be purified before contact can be made."
Cameron stayed as calm as possible and said: "Let me see the symbol of this warship, just take a look."
"I carry the amulet of the Deep Sea Church on my body, which can resist this pollution. There are still some."
"This matter may determine the future of the Federation!"
"Ah this..."
Listen to what Cameron said about the situation. Seriously, the soldiers couldn't help but hesitate.
They just handled the incident based on past experience, but they didn't expect that Cameron would take it so seriously.
"Get out of the way, Lieutenant Colonel Cameron is not the kind of person to be alarmist."
A priest said: "But before that, please let me impose a threat on you. "Patron Magic."
After applying the magic, illusory waves surged around Cameron.
Cameron nodded to the priest, then walked through the crowd and came to the edge of the port.
This warship is slightly petite in size and is suspected to be a destroyer or frigate. The iron-gray paint on the ship has a tough and direct military style.
However, the situation of this ship is obviously not very good.
There are eye-catching cracks all over the hull, as well as some terrible wounds that look like they have been gnawed by some kind of giant beast.
A thin layer of ice condensed on the surface of the hull, struggling to maintain the integrity of the entire ship.
Looking from a distance, there seemed to be some traces of blood on the deck.
The moment he saw the warship clearly, Cameron's face turned pale, as if he had aged dozens of years rapidly, and he whispered in a whimpering voice.
"It is indeed [Private]..."
"[Private]!?"
The major who was following Cameron further away heard it This whisper not only caused a sudden change in his face.
“You mean, [King]’s frigate, [Private]?”
A few months ago, the [King] and its frigates launched an exploration operation to the Far North.
But now, only the [Private] has returned to the port of [Liu Li Island] with the help of teleportation coordinates.
This incident itself explains a lot of information.
“I won’t admit it wrong.”
Cameron murmured: “I served on the [King] for five years, how could I misidentify its appearance as a frigate?”
"But, [King]... what happened?"
"Colonel Gold, where are you now?"
At this time, extending from the side of [Private] A long pedal came out and landed on the ground of the port.
"Lieutenant Colonel Cameron, please be careful!"
The priest behind him immediately issued an early warning to Cameron.
"We have previously made a call request to this warship, but no one responded."
"The crew on that ship may have turned into irrational monsters."
> Before the priest finished speaking, a strange figure appeared from the pedal.
The figure barely maintained a human appearance, wearing a military uniform, but no matter how you looked at it, it revealed a strong inhumanity.
A strong scent of blasphemy lingers on its body.
Swish, brush, brush!
Seeing that figure, the soldiers immediately raised their guns and aimed at each other.
"Stop! Otherwise we will shoot!"
Out of consideration for the safety of [Liu Li Island], they cannot allow this weird existence to land on the island.
But the figure seemed not to have heard the soldiers' warning and continued walking towards the shore.
Tick tock...tick tock...
People can even smell a stench similar to rot.
Just when the soldiers were about to shoot, Cameron jumped up, jumped on the pedal, and walked towards the opponent.
"Lieutenant Colonel Cameron!"
Everyone was shocked. No one knew what the consequences would be if they came into contact with this pollutant at close range.
But Cameron did it anyway.
He walked up to the figure and stared at him quietly.
The face of this weird figure has been distorted, the eyes are hollow and lifeless, and the flesh and blood has the texture of mud, as if dripping downward little by little, it looks extremely weird.
"Is this Mr. Cameron..."
A hoarse question came from under the opponent's military hat.
Cameron's tone was slightly sad: "It's me."
"Great...The captain said..."
"If it is...Mr. Cameron... You will definitely believe my words..."
The strange figure said with difficulty: "We...all died there..."
"The [King] and Captain Gold... were Trapped..."
"[Private]...asking for help..."
Suddenly, its tone suddenly became extremely high-pitched, as if it was crying or wailing: "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo... It’s true!”
“The flood! The flood is coming again!”
As soon as he finished speaking, his body suddenly collapsed like mud.
