Chapter 1492 The Strangeness of Things
But only three days later, all the senior executives of the Paranormal Investigation Department gathered in the conference room again for the highest-level meeting and discussion, and their faces were extremely ugly.
"Those three teams... disappeared too."
Everyone was in a very heavy mood. At such a critical moment, they lost three teams again. This loss was too great.
Since the establishment of the Paranormal Investigation Department, the number of captains and teams has not been large.
Because the mortality rate of paranormal events is too high, the mortality rate of newcomers who participate in paranormal events for the first time is often more than 90%, and that's not all.
Those who can survive multiple paranormal events and eventually become members of the Paranormal Investigation Department are all outstanding and have come from a sea of blood and corpses.
And every captain-level figure is also an outlier among outliers, a powerful existence that can only be encountered but not sought!
But even such a group of people, in fact, there will be a large number of casualties in the process of completing tasks on weekdays, which leads to the fact that the number of teams has not been large, even nationwide, it does not exceed 300 people.
Now, the captains who disappeared, along with their teams, totaled six teams, that is, thirty or forty people, plus the three teams that disappeared later, a total of nearly 50 people have disappeared.
Such a huge loss, how can people not be shocked?
The high-level meeting of the supernatural event investigation department was held specifically to discuss this matter.
In the dull and depressing atmosphere, a middle-aged man with a resolute face said in a deep voice: "This time the situation is special. A full 8 teams are completely trapped in it, and as far as the current situation is concerned, they have not sent back any news. A stone thrown into the water will splash. How could 8 full-strength teams be trapped in a supernatural event without any news?"
"Indeed, the situation is too weird. We have never encountered such a situation before. No matter how difficult it is, at least there will be news sent back, and we can make countermeasures based on the news, but why is it so strange this time?"
"What went wrong? Is there really a top-level supernatural event that is extremely terrifying there?"
However, some people wondered: "But didn't we say before that the area is the parents of the 6 captains, and they will ensure the safety of the area themselves. It is one of the few areas in the country where there are no supernatural events. How could there be a supernatural event suddenly, and it is still such a terrifying supernatural event? This is abnormal!"
Although they know relatively little about the supernatural, they have reached a consensus on one point.
That is, the expansion of supernatural events takes time!
At first, each supernatural event only spread within a small area, and the harm and impact caused were relatively small. However, in the process of expansion and invasion, these supernatural phenomena will become stronger and stronger as they continue to absorb the breath of death and despair.
It is almost impossible for an extremely powerful supernatural being to suddenly appear! Perhaps there are some supernatural beings that are naturally powerful, but people have never seen them.
Therefore, everyone is so surprised by the situation in that small town.
While everyone was discussing, the middle-aged man sitting in the first seat suddenly slapped the table and said in a deep tone: "We have been discussing until now, and we have always ignored a problem, a problem that none of us want to face, do not want to look directly at, or even dare not look directly at!!"
When the others heard this, they all stopped, the atmosphere became extremely depressing, and no one spoke.
Indistinctly, we all knew what the middle-aged man was talking about.
Without waiting for everyone to think too much, the middle-aged man continued: "The most serious problem of this incident from beginning to end, and the most puzzling problem, isn't it the behavior of the first six captains?"
"What are they doing? Why do they take away all the supernatural props and scientific research materials? Why do they return to their hometown together? What do they want to do? What is their purpose? Even if it is for supernatural events, why are we completely unaware of it?"
"Moreover, they vowed before that they had eliminated all supernatural events in their hometown. It is an absolutely clean city and it is impossible for supernatural events to appear. But now it is proved that they are definitely lying!"
"And just now, the communication department has contacted me. Nantan City, the city where they disappeared, has lost contact with the entire city and is shrouded in terrifying supernatural forces. No one can be contacted."
Boom!
Everyone's brain almost exploded, and they stood up from their seats with a "swoosh".
"How is it possible?"
Everyone's face showed horror and disbelief. If what the middle-aged man said was correct, then the situation was completely beyond their imagination and had even developed to a terrifying degree.
The whole city! It was completely shrouded in supernatural power, and the communication was completely lost. No information was leaked from it. What does that mean? Everyone present could not understand it more clearly.
This was a terrifying supernatural event with a scope beyond imagination.
This year's man sighed deeply and said, "If Nantan City really has no problems, do you really believe it? I said that the six captains are fine, do you believe it? Accept the reality, the extent of the spread of the supernatural world...maybe much faster than we imagined!"
Everyone was silent. After a long time, someone raised his head with difficulty and asked in a deep voice, "What should we do next?"
Everyone seemed to have their backbones taken away at this moment. Could it be that the incomparable pressure was pressing on them, as if the whole world was shrouded in a strange and dull atmosphere.
Because what the middle-aged man said just now had a huge impact on them, almost destroying all their hopes.
Is the supernatural event investigation department that they are proud of the hope of mankind, or a disaster area where supernatural phenomena breed and pollute? They used to be able to swear and pat their chests to guarantee that supernatural phenomena may appear anywhere else, but only their supernatural investigation department is the safest place in the world.
But now, for this place where they are, for the supernatural investigation department that they are proud of, they actually have a trace of fear in their hearts.
The collapse of faith and hope is not terrible, what is terrible is... this is the only few faith and hope left.
Among the people present, the middle-aged man is in the best condition. Looking at the gray and desperate faces of the people, he slowly took out the cigarette from his pocket and lit it with a "click".
