Chapter 470 Dilemma
Boom——
The roar of the engine sounded on the street.
A silver-gray car shuttled through the city streets of Triumph District at high speed, like a strong wind blowing by, attracting the sidelong glances of pedestrians on the street.
Passers-by cursed and looked up, only to find that the silver car was wearing the official white-on-black license plate, and the characters ended with the unique "cross" of the Triumph Building.
The cursing voices gradually became quieter, and some people even stopped and made a cross-salute to the passing silver car from a distance.
The official vehicle was in such a hurry, it must be because of some important matters...
Gilan, who was driving, had no expression on his face. He controlled the steering wheel with both hands and stepped on the accelerator to the bottom.
All the cars and carriages on the road were overtaken by him nimbly, causing waves of exclamations.
With his extraordinary reaction speed, Gillan is not worried about any accidents. On the contrary, he also complained that the speed was too slow.
Just now in the apartment, he received a call from the mysterious investigation committee. The staff there sounded very urgent.
Fortunately, the other party spoke clearly and clearly conveyed Teacher Parra's order, asking him to rush to the Triumph Building immediately to take charge of the overall situation.
I couldn’t explain the specific situation on the phone.
But Gilan also knew roughly what happened.
“The support from the major official forces in the empire was all intercepted and killed by mysterious forces...”
He squinted his eyes, thinking about countermeasures.
"The Machinery Union, the Redemption Church, the Chamber of Commerce, the Holy Mother Church... without exception, all suffered heavy losses and are seeking help from the Investigation Committee."
The reason why these forces sent their respective forces, The reason why he came to the capital to assist the investigative committee was because of the intervention of Pala Celsus.
As early as ten days ago, Parra visited the top leaders of these forces one by one in order to cope with the changes that were likely to occur this month.
The "Eclipse Society" is already very dangerous and is plotting evil actions against the empire. And there are various signs that there is likely to be the intervention of a superior person behind this matter.
Therefore, Palla attaches great importance to it.
He was worried that the mysterious investigation committee alone would not be enough to deal with this incident, so he requested assistance from various major forces in advance.
I never thought that everyone’s secret actions seemed to be accurately understood by the enemy. While personnel from all parties were still on their way to the capital, they were brutally intercepted and killed.
The situation was urgent now, and Ji Lan didn't care too much, so he had to drive the car at full speed, hoping to arrive at the Triumph Mansion earlier.
Less than five minutes.
The silver car drove to the downstairs of the Triumph Building.
After Jilan got off the bus, he quickly walked into the building and took the elevator as quickly as possible to the 70th floor.
As soon as he arrived at the committee hall, he found that many people had gathered here.
There are no less than a hundred men and women, all wearing black uniforms, and they are all members of the mysterious investigation committee. Including the team leader level and even the special operations team (gravediggers) were also present.
This shows the urgency of this incident.
"Mr. Guillan Iros is here."
"Sir!"
"Sir Guillan!"
When the crowd saw the purple-eyed young man arriving, they all stood up and saluted. , greet you respectfully.
Gillen has two identities outside the country. One is the Executive Minister of the Empire’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the other is the newly appointed Secretary-General of the House of Lords.
But here, he only has one identity, and that is the head of the special operations team of the mysterious investigation committee.
And he is the only student of Chairman Parra.
Can be called a successor.
In addition, various deeds during this period made his reputation even higher and he was deeply respected by the committee members.
Everyone is respectfully addressed as "sir".
"Good morning, everyone."
Jilan strode forward and nodded to the crowd.
He walked past the crowd with a calm face and went straight to the high platform of the committee hall.
At this time, a tall woman who was standing on the side of the high platform hurriedly took two steps forward and came to Jilan's side.
It was Maiev Matillier who was wearing a black windbreaker and a single ponytail, looking like a royal lady.
"Mr. Gillan, this is a temporarily compiled intelligence document... In addition, Chairman Parra left due to urgent matters and cannot come back for the time being. He asked me to inform you that you will be fully responsible for presiding over the committee, and everything will be dominated by you. Don't worry too much." "More."
Maev handed over a stack of documents and whispered in Jilan's ear.
Jilan nodded to express his understanding.
“Thank you, Maiev.”
“You’re welcome, Chief Gillan.”
Maiev winked at him and made a respectful cross-salute.
Jilan took the document and quickly flipped through it a few times, his expression becoming more solemn.
The whole committee hall was quite quiet.
No one was whispering to each other inappropriately, and they were all looking seriously at the purple-eyed young man on the stage who was flipping through documents.
The only sound in the audience was the clatter of paper being turned.
After a few minutes.
Gilan put down the documents, pulled the octagonal microphone on the podium in front of him, and said:
"Everyone, the chairman of the committee is out on urgent matters, so I will be in charge of this place for the time being..."
“Regarding the ‘Emergency Response Deployment for the April Accident’, everyone must have received relevant orders, but now there are accidents happening to the personnel of the Machinery Union, the Atonement Church, the Chamber of Commerce and the Holy Mother Church, and unknown forces are rushing to them. There was an attack on the road to the capital, and we are in urgent need of support. "According to intelligence, all four forces have been targeted by malicious divination. I personally prefer that there is a superior person behind the other party." Intervene”
"Sir Gillan."
At this time, a senior member of the special operations group sitting at the front stood up.
This man is a burly man with a beard and wearing sunglasses. His expression was serious and his brows were furrowed.
“I don’t know what you are basing your speculation on... I’m sorry, I’m not questioning your judgment, but it involves someone in a superior position, so we have to be extremely vigilant.”
"The main body responding to this incident is the extreme secret sect 'Eclipse Society', and behind it is the messenger of the evil god 'Windmill Cat' Pal Solomon."
Ji Lan glanced at the strong man, put his hands on the edge of the podium, and said calmly.
"The mortal self of the 'Windmill Cat' has been severely damaged by Chairman Pala and other powerful empires, and is temporarily unable to take action... But it also has an ally, a man named 'Ling' King's Lord of Hell."
Speaking, Jilan raised his hand.
A bone carving Ouija board appeared out of thin air in his palm, attracting the attention of everyone present.
“This is a mysterious creation called the ‘Lother Xiu Ouija Board’. It has extremely strong divination capabilities and was created by the ‘Spirit King’.”
"Chief Jilan, I'm afraid these alone are not enough to conclude that the 'Spirit King' is behind the unknown force, right?"
Another female senior executive of the special operations team stood up and said in a deep voice.
Jilan sighed.
He knocked on the file on the table.
Amplified by an octagonal microphone, Guillen’s voice echoed in the committee hall:
"There are several important details in the intelligence that came. The attacks suffered by the four forces are all related to death, illusions, drama and poetry...and these happen to correspond to the four ascendants under the 'Spirit King'. ”
“? ”
The committee members present were all shocked.
"Am I coming to earth among the four ascended ones?"
Obviously, facing such a terrifying enemy put everyone under great pressure and awe-inspiring.
Even the fifth-level senior officials of the special operations team showed serious expressions.
Tuk Tuk!
Gilan knocked on the table again to indicate silence.
When everyone's voices gradually became quieter, he said:
"I personally speculate that the other party has two purposes in intercepting and killing the four forces this time."
"The first is to weaken the overall strength of the mysterious side of the empire and reduce the resistance to the 'Eclipse Society''s next actions."
"The second is probably to deliberately attract our attention and attack in the east and west. ."
Gilan said with an emphasis.
“The four forces came to assist the empire and asked us for help when they were attacked. No matter what our position is, we have no reason to refuse.”
“But it is easy to fall into trouble if we act rashly. Enter the enemy's trap."
"What the other party wants is probably to disperse the power of the mysterious investigation committee... and the 'Eclipse Society' will take the opportunity to implement their unknown plan and attack the empire."
"Once there is a major change in the empire, it will inevitably Affecting the outcome of the Bu'ao War."
"So we must be cautious..."
As Gillan's analysis deepened, none of the committee members present were stupid. , and immediately understood the pros and cons.
One hair cannot be pulled, but it will affect the whole body!
The other party's attack came without any warning, but it happened to be stuck at a key node. Invisibly, the mysterious investigation committee was killed on the spot.
For a while, there was silence in the committee hall.
Many people are already breaking out in a cold sweat, understanding how serious the predicament is!
If you are not careful, I am afraid that all the members here will become the sinners of the empire!
The calm conversation and to the point analysis of the purple-eyed young man on the stage also impressed everyone.
Unknowingly, everyone became more convinced that Chairman Parra handed over the command to Gilan Iros, not as his student.
But because of his ability and strength!
"Chief Jilan, how should we respond?"
The strong man from before asked.
His tone became urgent:
"Can we just watch our allies being attacked without helping us... Please give us an order."
"Of course we need to support."
Gilan scanned the audience. , said lightly.
“The Mechanical Union, the Atonement Church, the Chamber of Commerce and the Holy Mother Church are important allies of the empire. If they stand idly by, they will definitely be discouraged and even turn against each other, which is not worth the gain.”
“But in order to avoid over-dispersing the strength of the committee, , to give the other party an opportunity, I plan to send only two teams to support the Machinery Union and the Chamber of Commerce.”
"Gures, Manning, you two will lead your respective teams of gravediggers and thirty committee members to act together to immediately support the Machinery Union."
"Berdyh, Alona, you The two also led their own teams of gravediggers and thirty committee members to support the Chamber of Commerce. "
Gilan gave the order in an orderly manner.
The four senior leaders of the special operations team who were named were all Level 5 Kusei. They all stood up and saluted to the high platform.
Among them was the strong man.
But he frowned and said hesitantly:
"Sir Gillan, according to the committee regulations, the Gravedigger Team only targets the 'Nightmare Monument' and does not participate in other mysterious incidents... What you do is equivalent to violating the rules. .”
