Chapter 429: Coming Again
Longhai Security Branch, in the director's office.
"Three conditions, three rewards."
"Medicine, teaching, live broadcast..."
Looking at the documents in front of him, Nie Hailong frowned.
Ning Qing stood by, silent, quietly waiting for the result.
Although she promised Xu Yang that she would do her best to make this happen, some things would be more effective if she kept silent. She believed that with her director's vision and wisdom, he would make a wise choice.
As expected...
"Promise him!"
Nie Hailong threw the document and said to Ning Qing, "You are fully responsible for this matter."
"Yes!"
Ning Qing nodded, picked up the document, and left the room.
"Qian Jin, live broadcast, medicine..."
Nie Hailong was left alone, muttering to himself, frowning.
There was a little uneasiness in his heart, an inexplicable uneasiness.
Was the live broadcast a coincidence, or...?
Nie Hailong couldn't explain it. Perhaps it was his professional instinctive suspicion, or perhaps it was the sensitivity caused by various things in recent times. He was quite alert to people and things at this stage.
But being alert was being alert. As the head of a bureau, he couldn't ignore the interests of the whole because of a little suspicion of one person.
Incorporating this person into the Security Bureau and promoting mutually beneficial cooperation between the two sides would be beneficial to the Security Bureau. He really couldn't find a reason to refuse. At most, he would keep supervision and deal with problems when they were found.
"Director!"
As soon as Ning Qing left, the door was knocked again, with obvious urgency.
Nie Hailong's eyes condensed, and he immediately replied: "Come in!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the door was pushed open, and a man walked in quickly: "We found a large number of Black Gate members' movements."
Nie Hailong immediately stood up: "Where are they, who are they?"
"They are all middle and lower-level members of the Black Gate, moving collectively towards Wuyuan, carrying a large number of Black Lotus believers and prohibited items, and creating a lot of chaos in various regions to cover the operation."
"Wuyuan?"
"Damn it!"
Nie Hailong's pupils shrank, and he said sternly: "Notify all departments immediately, and stop these Black Lotus believers no matter what."
"Yes!"
The man nodded and hurried away.
Nie Hailong didn't say much and picked up the phone: "Contact all agencies in Wuyuan and the surrounding areas immediately to implement regional blockade and martial law. No one is allowed to enter the area."
"In addition, notify the General Administration and request support. The Black Lotus Sect will carry out major terrorist activities in the Wuyuan area."
"Team one and team two, armed and on standby, wait for my instructions!"
After a series of instructions, Nie Hailong also left the office in a hurry.
It's no wonder that he was so nervous. The situation has reached a point where it can't be delayed.
The predecessor of the Black Gate was the Black Lotus Sect, which is a sect organization of extraordinary nature.
This kind of organization is not like ordinary gangs and armed groups. Even the federal agencies cannot tolerate its existence.
Why can't it be tolerated?
Because they are a bunch of crazy and oblique believers!
The federation can tolerate the existence of groups, gangs, and even warlords formed by extraordinary people, and tacitly allow them to divide the land and rule one side, because these people can communicate, manage, and control. What they pursue is just interests. As long as they are well controlled, they can be completely controlled.
The Black Lotus Cult is different. They are a bunch of lunatics from top to bottom. They are completely unable to communicate and do not know what compromise means. They act not for simple interests, but for some pursuits that ordinary people cannot understand, so they create all kinds of extraordinary terrorist incidents.
How can the federal agencies tolerate such things and such behavior?
They can only attack!
But after so many years of attack, they have not been able to wipe them out.
One of the reasons is that the Black Gate has a long history and profound foundation, like a centipede that is still alive even after death. The second reason is that the federal power is limited and there is really no way to completely wipe out such an organization.
Although the overall strength of the federation is far superior to that of the Black Gate, the federation cannot mobilize all its forces to encircle and suppress a Black Gate, because there is more than one organization like the Black Gate in the world, and there are many similar organizations scattered in various regions of Blue Star, which always restrain the power of the federal agencies.
Although the federal agencies have been trying their best to attack these intolerable sects, they are often in a passive defense, or even a state of hindsight. It is often the other party that takes action first, and the federal agencies only notice it later, react hastily, and make up for the loss.
There is no way. The enemy is in the dark and we are in the light. We are so passive.
The top leaders of these sects are all powerful extraordinary people. They have various means to avoid the supervision of federal agencies. With the current power of federal agencies, they can't prevent it in advance.
If you can't supervise the top leaders, you can only supervise the middle and lower levels. But when the middle and lower levels take action, what should be done has already been done.
Let's not talk about anything else. Now, these Black Lotus followers are making big moves and are openly exposed to the federal authorities. This shows that the plan of the Black Gate leaders has been completed. Letting these followers come here is just icing on the cake. It would be best if they have them, but it would be harmless if they don't.
The actions of the Black Lotus can no longer be stopped. What they can do now is to try their best to control the situation, prevent the situation from further deteriorating, minimize the losses, and then wait for the powerful combat power of the General Administration to come and clean up the situation.
The process is just like this.
But Nie Hailong has no idea whether he can control it.
After all, this is the first major terrorist activity after the Red Moon.
The night of the Red Moon has a huge impact, and the strength of those sects and organizations is likely to have been enhanced.
Although the impact of the Red Moon is comprehensive, and the federal side has also been enhanced, it is hard to say who is stronger. If the Black Lotus has made greater progress, then the federal authorities want to control the situation...
Worried and uneasy.
But at this time, Nie Hailong had no choice but to lead the two rapid response teams of the branch to Wuyuan.
After boarding the helicopter and looking at the rapidly shrinking city below, Nie Hailong took out his phone again, but this time he did not see the familiar update prompt.
This made Nie Hailong a little disappointed.
It was hard to say whether the Black Lotus Cult's action this time was revenge or for other reasons.
But in any case, he was the cause of this matter.
You did something, and you don't solve it?
It's unreasonable, right?
...
On the other side, Wuyuan Town.
This remote rural town has now been blocked and put under martial law.
Around the town, there are steel forests, tanks and armed military police are on standby.
There was no reaction to the martial law in the town, and not even a single person was seen.
Silence, dead silence, dead silence that you could hear a pin drop!
Faced with such a weird situation, even the fully armed federal military police did not dare to investigate further and could only block and impose martial law outside.
An hour or two ago, this town was still the same as usual, but it gradually disappeared without anyone noticing, and finally became this weird empty dead town.
Where did the residents of the town go?
No one knows, and the federal agencies dare not investigate rashly. They can only blockade and control the situation.
In this tense atmosphere...
"Huh!"
The cold wind whistled, flowers were floating all over the sky, and the thick fog came like a tide, and the boundaries were blurred in an instant.
"This..."
"Not good!"
"Evacuate!"
Seeing this scene, everyone changed color, and the commanders of each team hurriedly issued orders to evacuate, but there was only noise in the intercom, and all communications were interrupted, and there was no response at all.
"Damn it!"
A combat team, huddled in the tank, quietly looked out, only to see thick fog all around, the outline of the building looming, and snowflakes flying...
No, not snowflakes!
"Pop!"
With a light sound, flying flowers fell and stuck to the observation port of the tank. It turned out to be a talisman, a talisman made of white paper and red sand.
"Hoo!"
The wind whistled again, and talismans flew all over the sky, causing thick fog to spread, like a ghostly realm.
"What's going on?"
"Where is this?"
"Where are the others?"
Inside the chariot, several soldiers held their weapons tightly, unable to hide their fear and panic.
Even elite soldiers, facing such a strange situation, are not much different from ordinary people.
"Trample!"
At this moment, the sound of footsteps became dense in an instant.
The pupils of several people shrank, and they looked out again.
In the thick fog, figures emerged, like zombies, coming straight here.
There were also Buddhist chants, and the echo of compassion penetrated into the ears.
"Blessings, blessings, flesh and blood Bodhisattva, Great Black Buddha Mother, the sea of suffering is boundless, turn back and you will find the shore, the sea of suffering is boundless, turn back and you will find the shore..."
"The cycle of reincarnation is endless, the Buddha Mother is compassionate and kind, and the compassionate boat saves all living beings..."
"Thus I heard, so I saw, so I saw..."
"Amitabha Amitabha, Amitabha Amitabha..."
The Buddhist chanting became the sound of the devil, and the words of praise were all evil and strange, layer upon layer, like a tide, rolling in all directions.
In the chariot, several soldiers felt a trance, and the scene in front of them suddenly changed.
Darkness, darkness, darkness came like a tide.
In the darkness, a lotus blossomed and turned into a lotus platform.
On the lotus platform, a Buddha sat alone, but he was not sitting in a solemn and majestic manner, but sitting upright with a big horse and a golden sword.
A golden Buddha, with a belly as big as a drum, covered with pitch-black mantras, sitting on the black lotus, with many infants kneeling at his feet, and eight arms on his upper body, six of which were dancing behind him, holding instruments such as the vajra, and two arms in front of him in the shape of a lotus. In the midst of the sacredness and solemnity, there was also a strange and terrifying look.
Exactly...
Everyone's eyes trembled, and their gazes, their sights, were uncontrollably raised, and they looked at the face of the Buddha statue.
On the black lotus, the Buddha sat upright, with a scarlet talisman on his forehead, covering his face like a headscarf.
"Boom!"
The moment it touched, a dark flame rose, and the scarlet talisman ignited, turning into ashes in an instant, revealing the face underneath.
Under the talisman, there was neither mercy nor majesty.
Only... emptiness!
Empty eyes, empty face!
That was Him, that was Him!
The flesh-and-blood Bodhisattva, the jealous demon lord - the Great Black Buddha Mother!
On the other side...
In the deep mountains, in the Taoist temple.
Under the altar, in front of the statue.
"Monster!"
With a sigh, the Taoist opened his eyes and stood up solemnly.
