"Wait a minute? Is this something humans can do?" Wu Liang’s eyes were truly filled with surprise.
He himself possessed the Ghost Compendium, something that could grow stronger day by day, until the accumulated Fierce Ghosts reached a City-Destroying level, which was reasonable, it just needed time.
But two years ago, after the supernatural resurgence, the government had only been formally established for less than a year, right?
At this point in time, the group of Official Awakened could already do something as outrageous as wiping out two cities.
"Well, a few people in the Zodiac Department have abilities with very strong wide-range destructive power, plus those two cities had no ordinary people left, only members of the Promised Land were lurking inside, so they were wiped out," Minister Long said flatly.
As if he hadn’t personally been involved in that clearing operation, and it was just a joke heard on the roadside.
"What kind of heinous acts did they commit? Was it necessary to wipe out the cities directly?" Even Yuan Yi was slightly curious this time.
As a research fanatic, she never cared about these things happening in the outside world before. If she weren’t in a high position, she might not even know the name Promised Land.
Moreover, the confidential nature of that year’s operation was certainly considerable, and since she wasn’t a direct participant, she naturally didn’t know the details.
Talking about this, Minister Long sighed and began to tell what he knew:
"They were causing social panic and spreading twisted ideologies. More importantly, they were organizing civilian Awakened to try to provoke a confrontation between Awakened and ordinary people. There were two ideologies internally—"
"First, as Yuan Yi mentioned, ’Ghosts are the final destination for humanity,’ encouraging and forcing ordinary people to enter Supernatural Objects to die."
"Second, ’Awakened are the of human evolution,’ those who held this belief treated ordinary people with complete disregard for life, each with countless blood on their hands."
"Although within the Promised Land, two ideologies were developing, they didn’t conflict and posed a huge threat to the whole society and all ordinary people."
Upon hearing this, Wu Liang could imagine how terrifying that group was.
Because, looking at the incident at Dongri Grand Hotel, ordinary people were indeed nothing more than ants to Promised Land, not even considered pawns.
No matter how many ordinary people were killed, they just needed to influence the government.
Damn it! A bunch of lunatics!
"Through an Awakened Ability of a member from Zodiac Department, we obtained information that all members of Promised Land would gather in Anyi City and Gushan City on a certain day, seemingly plotting a larger rebellion."
Speaking to this point, Minister Long fell silent.
Without him needing to say it, Wu Liang could guess what happened next.
The government directly crushed them with violence, wiping out those crazies along with the entire city.
After all, two years ago, compared to the threat posed by living people, quickly dealing with the issue of supernatural resurgence in cities to stabilize social order was obviously more crucial.
However, what no one expected was that the roughly handled violent suppression likely left some small fry hiding in the dark.
Today, they’ve grown and are planning a desperate revenge against the government!
"Back then, most of us participants were only responsible for action. The person who truly gave the orders and researched the Promised Land materials and calculated that they would all gather in those two cities is now at the Beijing Headquarters."
When Minister Long mentioned this, Wu Liang suddenly thought of something, and eagerly said: "No, the current Promised Land is different from before. Their ideology has changed, and their intentions have become even crazier!"
He thought about how both Wu Xiaoyao’s Bionic Man and those almost suicidal fake goods were acting towards a target called ’a prosperous era is coming’ during this incident. Follow current novels on 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝·𝘧𝙞𝙧𝙚·𝔫𝔢𝔱
Even Wu Xiaoyao’s Bionic Man wants to achieve the so-called ’world unity,’ but their methods are exceptionally radical and crazy.
"Minister Long, can I directly contact the person who researched the Promised Land materials and calculated their positions back then?" Wu Liang urgently wanted to know the reason behind the organization’s change.
And what deeper connection they had with his father!
Unfortunately, hearing Wu Liang’s request, Minister Long didn’t immediately agree.
He just shook his head regretfully and said: "Sorry, that person is restricted like Sheep for certain issues, but their restrictions are even stricter."
"Sheep must have all actions under my supervision, but that person can only stay at the headquarters base, not even allowed to touch any electronic devices, so you can’t contact her here..."
Before Minister Long’s words could finish, Yuan Yi suddenly interjected with a sinister tone: "Unless you go to the headquarters and see her in person."
A phrase to awaken from the dream!
Just as Wu Liang felt a bit regretful for not being able to immediately know the truth, Yuan Yi’s suggestion suddenly made him realize.
Right! I can go to Beijing Headquarters!
Unable to access electronic devices doesn’t mean unable to contact her personally!
"Minister Long, I..."
"No! That crazy woman clearly wants to use this excuse to trick you into going to the Capital before anything else! Her research institute is also in the Capital, what if you can’t come back?" Minister Long interrupted Wu Liang decisively before he finished speaking.
He had known Yuan Yi for quite some time.
This woman might have just said she plans to stay in Chengyang City waiting for a City-Destroying event to happen within a month, but who can guarantee she really intends to stay?
If Wu Liang went to the Capital first, Yuan Yi might follow him and take him to the research institute, and there would be nothing he could do!
The research institute has three departments: Supernatural Resurgence Research, Awakened Research, Symbiont Research.
As the head of the Symbiont Research Department, Minister Long has no power to forcibly detain Yuan Yi in Chengyang City, he can only allow her to leave.
"Then Minister Long, who will take responsibility for today’s events?" Wu Liang immediately asked.
To this, Minister Long merely furrowed his brow in confusion: "What responsibility?"
Wu Liang thought of the originally severely injured He Zhan, and continued to speak with increasing determination:
"The collapse of Dongri Grand Hotel, causing immeasurable economic losses; more than half of Chengyang City’s officials sacrificed within the building; Official Awakened nearly killed as a result; the fakes attempted to harm all ordinary people in the city."
"These shocking events, whether economically or in terms of social order, who will bear this responsibility?"
"It can only be Promised Land! They must pay the corresponding price for their actions!"
As he said these words, Wu Liang’s eyes grew fiercer, speaking through gritted teeth: "Therefore, I need to drag Promised Land out of the shadows!"
"An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth!"
