my beauty world

Chapter 278
Like the previous predators, predators, and destroyers, the new page of the book of domination corresponds to a brand new extraordinary stage.

After Ronan was officially promoted to Destroyer, the next stage was called the Temple of Soul.

Not surprising, after all, the source of power for this system comes from the souls of intelligent creatures.

Sounds pretty sinister.

But for a terrorist targeting the Western civilized world, it doesn't matter whether it is evil or not.

Ronan looked at the promotion conditions, frowning slightly.

Sure enough, as expected, the Book of Ruler was missing a key item.

Promotion Ceremony: Choose a suitable location, open up a different space, center on the golden box of souls, use magic materials to build and decorate the temple, attract and accommodate the souls of the dead, and the scope of influence is related to the scale and magic power of the temple.

Soul Gold Casket (Missing)!

Below is a list of some magic materials.

Among them, gold is the most common, and mithril and adamantine among the magical metals are relatively rare.

Ronan hadn't seen it a few times either.

According to Carolina, there is part of Mithril in Blade's blade leg.

But it's just an alloy with not too high purity.

There are even magic-breaking metals, and there must be adamantium and mithril, so they probably won't be cheap.

In addition, magic-rich wood, rock, gemstones and bone materials are also in amazing demand.

Ronan had been to the Extraordinary Trading Market in New York. Although most of the items sold were fakes, there were also magic materials, such as the black walnut he bought.

Not to mention, it is the most time-saving and labor-saving if you can buy it.

Ronan has some of these materials in his hand, but they are a bit short of the demand, especially with a special note - a dragon's skull is required!

dragon?They belong to completely different creatures in the east and west. In the west, they are roughly flying and fire-breathing lizards.

But these large lizards are considered the top existence of magical creatures, and they seem to have disappeared for many years.

I can only go back and ask again.

The eyes of the formation, excluding the temporarily missing soul gold box, also need a powerful divine item.

This thing is in Ronan's hand. It is called the sun gem by the Lanying clan, but it is actually the blood gem on Lilith's demon crown.

Ronan was about to take out the blood gem, but suddenly remembered something. In the underground base of the Yellowstone volcano, the saw blade head whispered in his ear, saying that Lilith had been thinking about him.

Who wants Lilith to miss her?
When Ronan consciously entered another hall in another space, he saw Lilith's real body.

He asked himself that he didn't have such a heavy taste.

Considering all kinds of things, Ronan didn't touch the blood gem for the time being.

I don't know if the blood of the Feathered Serpent in the extra-large needle can be used?

Seeing this, the pages of the book are empty, and the rest of the book is estimated to have to wait for the soul gold box to be found and the promotion to be completed.

Ronan closed the book of domination, and several aspects can now be confirmed.

Most of the basic materials for building the soul temple require krypton gold.

Ronan can only say that sure enough, in human society, money has always been linked to power.

If the power is not strong enough, it means that the money thrown down is not enough.

Ronan has a lot of money in his hand, and if it is not enough, there is also the Blackwater Company, as well as the major banks in the United States.

Mad Bill and Thomas had been waiting for another big hit.

After the soul temple is completed, it will attract and accommodate the souls of the dead within a certain range.

It's hard for Ronan not to think of the source of his own power - the power of the soul!
In a modern way of understanding, the Temple of the Soul is energy storage?

The scope of influence is related to the scale of the temple, so it is best to build it in a relatively densely populated area, preferably in the United States.

There is nothing more suitable than the United States to get this far with the United States.

Perhaps other countries in the Five Eyes alliance can also.

Like London?

But Britain is now just a son, not a father.

Ronan immediately thought of a suitable place, with a huge population density, and it was related to the fate of the United States.

New York, and the surrounding areas of New York!

A little more mess in the troubled New York seems to be no big deal.

Maybe one day, the Temple of Soul will affect the entire east coast of the United States.

Ronan thought about it for a second, it seemed like he was competing with God for business?

God hasn't responded to the church for years, it doesn't matter anymore.

Go back to New York again to find the right place.

The focus of Ronan's consideration was on the soul gold box.

The Book of Ruler marks the absence.

Ronan estimated that it was probably the golden book that fell into the hands of the Knights Templar.

The so-called book is not necessarily a book, it may also be a box?

According to the exact information Ronan received, the golden book was placed in the treasury of the Knights under the Temple Mount after it was found by the Grand Knight Commander of the Knights Templar.

Not only are the great knights guarding it, but the ancients of the Knights Templar are also sleeping there.

The last time he passed by Jerusalem, Ronan just walked around the Temple Mount before leaving quickly without daring to stay too long.

The Middle East will go again!

Ronan doesn't have to fight alone in the Middle East, and Assassin is a relatively strong ally for the time being.

Normally, as long as the Americans do not withdraw their troops for a day, and Israel is still beating the surrounding Arab countries, the alliance with Assassin can be maintained.

Ronan thought for a while, found out the encrypted satellite phone, and contacted Ilsa.

"Fire dragon? According to the records of the Knights of the Round Table, this thing has not appeared for at least a thousand years." Ilsa said, "I heard someone mention that when Merlin cooperated with King Arthur, he once tamed a dragon."

Ronan said, "Help me pay attention to this information."

Ilsa smiled suddenly: "It will take a while, I am now in Washington."

Ronan was a little surprised: "Have you come to America?"

"I'm looking for the treasure of the Knights Templar..." Ilsa briefly talked about her discovery.

Ronan sighed: "No wonder I can't contact Gates, he died at the North Pole."

Ilsa invited: "Are you interested?"

Ronan asked, "What are you going to do now?"

Ilsa said softly: "I'm going to the National Archives of the United States, and I'll go to the Declaration of Independence first."

After hanging up the phone, Ronan went to book a plane ticket. The airport here was temporarily closed due to the volcanic eruption, and he needed to go further north to Edmonton by plane.

…………

In Washington, D.C., Ilsa, who had put on makeup, put on sunglasses, held a newspaper, walked across Pennsylvania Avenue, came to the side of the National Mall, sat on a bench under the shade of a tree, and glanced at Washington not far away monument.

With her eyesight, looking from this place, she could see a piece of marble on the top of the obelisk that was obviously newly replaced.

The monument to which the Americans blew up the Russians has been repaired again.

Ilsa glanced at her watch, it was a little early, and the National Archives had not yet opened, so she opened the newspaper to read current affairs news.

On the front page, there were reports of the eruption of the Yellowstone volcano and the earthquake in Montana, Idaho and Wyoming.

Has the hatred between Ronan and the Americans reached this point?

Ilsa actually knew that this was not just a personal enmity, but also mixed with other things.

Specifically, she never knew.

But the process of Ronan's enmity with the United States, Ilsa may be the best known in the world.

Billena Island, the hunt in Madrid, Spain, she is also one of the experiencers.

In earlier Mexico, I generally heard what Ronan said.

Ilsa quickly glanced at the newspaper, three states temporarily unknown casualties, unknown losses, the U.S. Air Force's Waffle Air Force Base in Idaho has been destroyed by the earthquake.

The wildfires in Yellowstone Park cannot be extinguished in the short term.

Transportation and logistics in the Northwest United States have been severely affected.

"A series of tragedies triggered by millions of dollars!" Ilsa couldn't help muttering in her heart.

Wearing old-fashioned clothes, Helen, who looked like a middle-aged aunt, came from the side and said, "Ma'am, the store is open."

Seeing that there were very few people at the gate of the archives, Ilsa said, "Wait a little longer."

Sitting next to Ilsa, Aunt Helen glanced at the newspaper over there, and asked in a low voice, "He didn't do it, did he?"

Ilsa didn't answer directly, but just nodded slightly.

The corners of Aunt Helen's mouth twitched, her chest, which was thicker than the waist of the bucket, rose and fell rapidly, and she frequently looked at Ilsa.

"What's wrong?" Ilsa thought there was something wrong with her makeup.

Aunt Helen said, "You two are really a good match."

A top terrorist with a top female terrorist leader, what could be more suitable than this?

Ilsa smiled slightly, obviously saying this to her heart.

The two chatted for a while, and there were a little more people in the archives. They immediately got up and went to the archives. After entering through the main entrance, they visited normally like ordinary tourists.

Soon, Ilsa came to the hall where the "Declaration of Independence" was exhibited. This document, which was decisive for the founding of the United States, was written on a special parchment and stored in a glass safe with bulletproof, explosion-proof and corrosion-proof. Due to the age, some handwriting is more or less blurred.

I read it carefully and found nothing abnormal.

Ilsa lifted the sunglasses, and the sunglasses automatically adjusted to the special light sensitivity. The front of the parchment of the "Declaration of Independence" could not see anything special.

Photos are not allowed here, and Helen didn't want to attract attention, so she quietly observed the security measures, walked forward with Ilsa, and continued to visit other collections.

The National Archives went around and came to the souvenir shop. Ilsa took out cash and bought a few souvenirs, including a replica of the Declaration of Independence.

After leaving the archives, the two joined the tourists and walked into the national park.

Helen asked in a low voice, "Have you found anything?"

Ilsa shook her head: "No, nothing was found on the front."

Helen muttered, "That's the back."

The back is sealed in the safe, and it cannot be seen under normal circumstances, so I can only think of other ways.

Ilsa said directly: "We try to get out the Declaration of Independence and see if there is something hidden behind it."

Aunt Helen moved her hands and feet: "I like this method."

Russia can make troubles in Washington, the boyfriend of the leader can make troubles in Washington, but syndicates can't make troubles in Washington?
Isn’t there a terrorist attack at the top of the administrative center of Meilijia, the world’s most powerful country, and you are ashamed to say that your home is a world-renowned terrorist organization?
Ilsa is not in a hurry: "Wait a day, we will find a way to figure out the storage and security measures of the Declaration of Independence, and he will come over tomorrow."

Helen naturally knew who he was referring to.

…………

Washington, Office of the Director of Intelligence.

The minds of several intelligence agencies from the CIA, the Secret Service, and the Department of Homeland Security gathered in a small conference room in the Office of the Director of Intelligence.

There is only one topic for discussion today!
About the identity of a terrorist and the terrorist attacks he carried out.

Orlando, director of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, sat at the front of the conference room, General Hawke from the Secret Service, Trincon from the CIA, Andrew from the Department of Homeland Security, and others were all seated.

The Chief of Staff of the White House attended the meeting.

All of you here are well-informed intelligence leaders, busy with work and business,
Orlando said, "Hawk, let's get started."

Trincon and Andrew all looked at General Hawke, not particularly clear about what he had discovered.

General Hawke turned on the slide projector, and a clearer photo was immediately projected on the snow-white wall.

It was an Asian man in a white ninja suit, with a white katana sword on his back and a closed ninja hat on his head.

Trinkang pushed up his glasses: "White Ghost? I remember his name is Fusaburo Lanying, a traitor from the Lanying clan of the island country who has worked closely with your Special Affairs Bureau."

General Hawke didn't talk nonsense: "I think everyone knows about the Yellowstone Park."

Andrew nodded: "It is said that White Specter is the main messenger."

Trinkang laughed suddenly: "Why, Hawke, do you need us to cooperate with you in investigating Bai Yougui's whereabouts? The CIA has no law enforcement power in the country."

Andrew worked with Hawk for a while: "Is there something wrong?"

General Hawke pressed the remote control, and the projection changed to a photo. The face of the person in the photo was blurred, and everything from the figure to the attire seemed very ordinary.

The chief of staff remembered seeing the photo and asking, "Who is this?"

Orlando's eyes froze: "Murphy the Nail Stranger!"

The other two also recognized it.

Hearing the name Nail Stranger, the chief of staff's heart twitched unconsciously, and pictures flashed in his mind: a huge military base was engulfed in flames in the explosion, causing thousands of American casualties!
The creator of the terrorist attack on the Taki base in Iraq!
Up to now, 2000 soldiers and officers of the U.S. military have died directly and indirectly in the Taki base terrorist attack!
This is the largest casualty of the US military since the Vietnam War!

No, there is also the white ghost that triggered the eruption of the Yellowstone volcano, which directly or indirectly caused even greater casualties and losses!

These two are terrorists who can be ranked in the top three most wanted lists in the United States!
At the top of the list is Lights Out, followed by Nail Man and White Ghost.

General Hawk's tone was unusually heavy: "We made huge mistakes, especially in terms of intelligence research and judgment."

"How do you say that?" Trinkang was not very happy. Yellowstone Park was the fault of your Secret Service Bureau. What's the matter with the CIA?

General Hawke said: "My people went back to investigate and judge the terrorist attacks launched by these two people, and further investigated the traces left at the beginning, and found a fact that we all ignored."

The chief of staff is a smart man, so he made some guesses: "You don't think they are the same person, do you?"

General Hawk nodded solemnly: "Yes! The White Specter and the Nail Man are the same person! To be precise, the White Specter is the Nail Man in disguise!"

He said in detail: "In recent days, the Bureau of Special Affairs has not only sorted out the files on the two, but also conducted a unified secondary analysis on the remnants of the terrorist attacks carried out by the two. Many of the explosives used by the two were former Made in the Soviet Union, although they come from different factories, most of them are related to Ukraine, Bai Yougui himself is from the Lanying clan, and ninjas are not interested in explosive attacks!"

The chief of staff answered: "These two terrorists have an extremely terrifying pursuit of explosions. They can use shells, but never bullets."

General Hawke glanced at him, and continued: "The Special Affairs Bureau got definite information from the Qingshui Society. The Qingshui Society has lost contact with the White Phantom since the second half of last year. The time is exactly after the Bulgarian explosion that the White Phantom participated in! Since then At the beginning, White Specter has lost contact! During the period when the Nail Monster was active, White Specter did not launch an attack against any person or organization!"

All the people here are engaged in intelligence. Looking back on the relevant information carefully, it seems that during the period when the Nail Stranger was haunting the Middle East, their respective organizations did not have any new information about the White Phantom.

Orlando said slowly: "When multiple coincidences appear together, it is no longer a coincidence."

General Hawk made his conclusion: "So, even if there is no definite evidence, we can still judge this matter. The White Specter is a nail geek pretending to be! In this way, everything has a reasonable explanation."

Andrew said: "The Nail Stranger really came into view because of a series of events in Los Angeles. He slaughtered the suspected Mossad dagger agent team, and cooperated with the exorcist priest Thomas who defected from the church to create the massacre at the St. Nicholas Monastery. He also used a large amount of explosives to destroy the Victor vampire family, and then disappeared until he appeared in the Middle East."

General Hawk continued to change the projection, and there were some documents on it: "During the disappearance of the Nail Man, the White Specter began to be active in Europe until it launched the Manhattan attack in New York and really came into our sight. During this period, the Nail Man did not appear. body."

Having said that, in the eyes of people engaged in intelligence work, the Nail Stranger and the White Phantom almost completely overlap.

General Hawke said: "I suspect that the attack on Washington was also done by nail geeks! It involves a key point, where are the heavy weapons and explosives used by the Russians stored? How are they transported into the United States?"

It is true that guns are rampant in the United States, but the management of heavy weapons and explosives is much stricter than that of guns.

General Hawke said: "There is a kind of magical space equipment. It is just a badge the size of a coin on the surface, but inside it has several, or even more than a dozen cubic meters of space. I suspect that there is similar equipment in the hands of Nail Monster. It is through This type of equipment transports explosives and heavy equipment into the city."

The chief of staff said: "If he did all these things alone, then he is far more than a terrorist who turned off the lights, and should be listed at the top of the global terrorist list!"

Trincon from the CIA frowned: "Hawk, assuming that what you said is completely true, these terrorist attacks are all done by nail monsters. Why? What is his motive? What can he get?"

The conference room was quiet for a while. There must be a reason for doing this, right?Because he is Russian?or play for russia

?

Even the lights are turned off for a reason.

Trincon felt that he had grasped the key to the problem: "Why is he so hostile to the United States? Find the key, and maybe we can think of a solution to him!"

Hawke turned his head and stared at Trincon closely.

Trincon didn't know why.

General Hawke pressed the remote control again, and the projected picture changed again, this time into a picture of a young man!The young man has black hair and brown eyes, and looks quite good. The background of the shooting is a landmark building in San Diego, southern California.

Trincon knows this person, a terrorist wanted by the CIA, who caused many murders in the US-Mexico border area and killed many CIA agents!

Even his old friend Church died at the hands of this man!
The blood feud between the CIA and this person has not been settled yet!
However, the person in the photo is very young, obviously an old photo.

"Ronan the Destroyer!" Trincon kept his voice steady: "The CIA's global wanted criminal!"

General Hawk turned on the laser pointer, shone it on the projected photo, and said, "Ronan the Destroyer, he is the reason!"

Trinkon was not stupid, so he figured it out: "You mean, Ronan the Destroyer is Nail Stranger and White Specter?"

General Hawk called up the document again, and roughly explained the incident that Ronan the Destroyer started from Mexico, which clearly showed how a good young man degenerated into a vicious terrorist!
The three identities are linked together again.

These intelligence agencies don't need evidence, suspicion is enough.

The eyes of everyone looking at Trincon changed.

Just for a little money, is it worth it?
For millions of dollars, to force out such extreme terrorists, the CIA is indeed the signature of the US intelligence agency!

As the second-in-command of the CIA and an expert in conspiracy, Trinkang feels that he smells a conspiracy.

The impact of these terrorist attacks is extremely bad. The Yellowstone volcano alone is worse than 911!

That is to say, there are geological disasters as a cover...

Trincon turned his head to stare at Hawke, what does the Secret Service want to do?Shirk responsibility?Throw the blame on the CIA.

To shirk responsibility and engage in infighting, the most basic quality of senior officials, Trinkang blurted out: "This is the decision made by the predecessor of the White House!"

The scapegoat that was about to fall on his head was immediately thrown on the former president.

The chief of staff is not in the same system as them, so he spoke directly: "It's understandable that you are involved in funding, don't make enemies everywhere..."

All the intelligence chiefs don't like to hear these words, and Intelligence Director Orlando took the words: "We are America!"

The others nodded.

The word America includes everything.

General Hawke doesn't want to get entangled in these bad things, otherwise he won't be able to figure it out by this time tomorrow: "I suggest that all the terrorist attacks on Ronan the Destroyer, Murphy the Nail Stranger, and White Specter be dealt with together! We determined that these three identities are one person, and launched a comprehensive investigation on these three identities."

Director of Intelligence Orlando nodded: "I agree."

Trinkon gritted his teeth: "I agree too."

The chief of staff said: "After I go back, I will immediately report to the president and fully promote the nail monster... No, it is Ronan the Destroyer's ranking on the list of terrorists, listed as the number one terrorist in the world!"

General Hawke said: "I hope we can work together to bring this terrorist to justice as soon as possible!"

After the meeting, when leaving the director's office, Trinkang heard a lot of gossip.

The CIA is a bunch of pigs, they don't say things are not well done, and they stir up trouble out of thin air and so on.

Trincon was so angry that he really wanted to greet Church, Matt and their agents. It was a simple matter, but it was so complicated!
