Chapter 454 The Gate of Hell
At the beginning of this year, the headquarters of the Mensa Club moved from New York to Washington DC.

Speaking of the Mensa Clubhouse, many people in Washington consider it to be a political club. People who enter and leave the clubhouse do not have the status of a member of the House of Representatives or a deputy minister, so they are embarrassed to say hello to others.

In just over a year, the Mensa club has become a key political node in Washington DC.

Ronan's goal was basically achieved.

"We have a deep influence on them."

In the hall on the top floor of the clubhouse, Hubbard faced Ronan and said respectfully, "Master, as long as you give an order, I can guarantee that the Mensa clubhouse will plunge Washington into chaos."

Ronan warned: "The time has not come yet, don't mess around, wait for my order."

Hubbard lowered his head: "Yes, Great Teacher."

Ronan thought of the awakened succubus and asked, "Has the succubus ever contacted you?"

Hubbard said: "I contacted twice." He described honestly: "The succubus asked me to develop more believers and perform more sacrifices so that I can recover quickly. At the same time, let me obey the orders of the great teacher , must not violate the will of the Great Teacher."

Through the implanted seed of nature, Ronan knew whether what Hubbard said was true or not. He nodded slightly and said, "You deal with the succubus first, and drag it for a while."

Hubbard responded: "I'll do my best."

As a masquerade who deals with various political figures all day long, Hubbard knows how to choose. The aura displayed by the great mentor on the opposite side is by no means inferior to the succubus.

How long is this?In the future, the great mentor will definitely have greater development.

How to choose, too simple.

In addition to coercion, Ronan will also give some benefits appropriately, and asked: "Hubbard, how far has your strength reached?"

Hubbard said: "Third-order peak, if you want to break through, you need to sacrifice..."

Ronan knew that he had a system similar to Shadow Hunter, and said, "No, you relax."

Hubbard was pleasantly surprised and relaxed.

Ronan returned to the Soul Temple consciously, found the star belonging to Hubbard, poured the power of the soul, and clicked it.

This is permanent soul charge.

Hubbard felt a majestic force rushing into his body, breaking through the threshold from the third to the fourth level, allowing him to step into the fourth level in one fell swoop.

You don't have to give up the person you love, and you don't have to give up your feelings.

Hubbard quickly said, "Thank you, Great Teacher."

Ronan nodded: "Do a good job."

For him, this is just a matter of effort.

Hubbard is very clear that he can only follow the great mentor in the future.

Ronan counted the number of demonized acorns he got in Avalon, and said to Hubbard, "You gather fifteen of the most influential Mensa believers and let them come over."

Hubbard could guess what Ronan wanted to do, and replied, "I'll go right away."

He left the hall and called Kelly, and the two quickly drew up a list, including the chief of staff and several senators.

Ronan waited for a while, and then the current Chief of Staff of the White House arrived.

Just like the last time he treated Franco Underwood, Ronan implanted the Seed of Nature and easily controlled him, making him obediently serve.

Other senators and other politicians came up from downstairs one after another to meet Ronan, the great mentor of Mensa.

Then, without exception, Ronan implanted the Seed of Nature and controlled them all.

The number of seeds of nature is limited, and the acorns produced by the World Tree in the Soul Temple space are not yet mature, so Ronan can only attack the most valuable high-end targets.

The seeds planted will soon germinate and bear fruit.

Finally, Frank Underwood came to the lobby.

He bowed obediently and said, "Great Teacher."

Ronan waved his hands: "Sit casually."

Frank sat on the couch next to him, waiting for Ronan to speak.

Ronan asked, "How is your plan going?"

Frank replied cautiously: "Impeaching a general is not easy. It needs a process. Congress has discussed it several times, but there is no conclusion yet."

He was worried that the great mentor would get angry, and added: "Giuliani betrayed us."

Ronan heard Hubbard report this matter. Giuliani's betrayal was originally intended by Hubbard.

When the vampire is the leader of the United States, it has been harming the interests of the United States.

While Ronan is hostile to vampires, this aspect has something in common.

Ronan said lightly: "You continue to promote the impeachment case."

Frank couldn't go against Ronan's will, so he replied, "As you wish, Master."

Ronan stared at Frank, and his voice went straight to his soul: "Do your job, Frank, and you will sit where you should sit in the future."

Frank, an ambitious man who wanted to become the owner of the Oval Office, said: "Follow your will."

"Go." Ronan told him to back down.

When Frank left the hall and went downstairs, he touched his heart, not daring to think too much, and he couldn't think too much.

He tried, and that seed would literally kill him.

Some time ago, he approached Carolina, the chief of the Special Affairs Bureau, and asked about this in an oblique and extremely cryptic manner. Even a fifth-level ice and snow mage was powerless.

Frank returned to the first floor and continued to connect the figures of various factions, preparing to initiate a new round of impeachment.

He dared not disobey the instructions of the great teacher.

Ronan stayed in Washington for another half a day, waiting for Carolina to arrange a proper job, and took her back to the Temple of Soul.

Coincidentally, Ilsa and Jess also came back from Europe.

Regarding the accounts of Demeter, the head of Lao Maozi's Security Committee, several of them were processed, and billions of dollars were transferred out.

But there are still two accounts that cannot be processed for the time being.

Ronan then planned to go to Siberia, and went to Moscow to meet Igor by the way.

These miscellaneous affairs were immediately thrown aside by the four of them.

According to Jess, the whole family finally arrived.

No longer considering the turmoil of the outside world, putting aside all kinds of disputes for the time being, Ronan took Ilsa, Jess and Carolina to visit this different space, went to the sealed space next door to see the mines and gems, and at night together on the second floor of the Soul Temple Rest, study the meaning of life, and compete in combat effectiveness.

In just two days, the four climbed over snow-capped mountains, entered the rainforest, descended lava, and even flew into the sky.

Although Ilsa, Jess and Carolina can't really fly for the time being, Ronan can hold them and fly.

Siberia, Vikoyansk.

This is a small town in the Arctic Circle, with an average winter temperature of around minus 50 degrees Celsius.

Even in spring and summer, it's only a little warm here at best.

However, since the beginning of the new century, the temperature in Vikoyansk has changed dramatically. The winter is colder than before, but the temperature will rise sharply in spring and summer.

Last summer, it created the highest summer temperature ever recorded - 38 degrees Celsius!
The four-person team driving an off-road vehicle traveled all the way from the south, gradually entering the Arctic Circle, and getting closer and closer to Vikoyansk.

The Russian agent Valentin who led the team sat in the co-pilot and slapped the blood-sucking mosquitoes to death with a snap.

Peter in the back seat unbuttoned his coat and couldn't help saying, "What the hell is the weather, it's hotter than Moscow."

Akim next to him simply took off his coat and stuffed it behind the seat: "I'm sweating."

The driver ignored their words and asked solemnly, "Are we going to the residential area?"

The town of Vikoyansk has more than 1300 permanent residents.

Valentin looked at the locator and the map, and said, "If we don't enter the town, let's go directly to the gate of hell."

There was a fork in the road ahead, and he pointed to the right: "Take this road."

The driver turned onto the narrow road on the right.

Valentin reminded: "Equip your weapons, and a battle may break out at any time."

The two people in the back seat put on their tactical vests and checked their firearms.

Valentin received an order from the Moscow headquarters some time ago and brought a tactical team to check out the weird situation in Vikoyansk.

According to feedback from the local situation, there is a tundra area in Vikoyansk, and the ground continues to collapse on a large scale, swallowing the nearby land.

What's even more frightening is that some curious people entered the fog that emerged from the collapsed area and never came out again.

The same goes for animals that run into it.

Siberia is sparsely populated, and Moscow doesn't pay much attention to these border areas in the Arctic Circle.

The residents of Vikoyansk reacted, and it was at the state level.

The off-road vehicle drove for more than an hour, and there was no longer any road ahead.

Even if there is no road in the undulating tundra, it is enough for the off-road vehicle to drive. Valentin kept asking the driver to adjust the direction according to the locator, and drove another ten kilometers, and the terrain ahead changed suddenly.

The off-road vehicle stopped, Valentin picked up the gun and got out of the vehicle.

Akim and Peter followed.

Just in front of them, a large collapsed area appeared. The tundra seemed to have suffered a huge earthquake, and it completely collapsed in a radius of more than ten kilometers.

Valentin climbed to a nearby hillock, and the collapsed area had no end in sight.

Residents of Vikoyansk call it the Gate of Hell.

In this season, the Arctic Circle has just entered polar day, and the light is still sufficient. Valentin's eyes turned diagonally downward, and the collapsed area could not be seen at a glance.

How deep is it?It cannot be seen with the naked eye alone.

"Peter, take pictures and measure!" Valentin did not forget the mission of this trip, but he was also very careful: "Akim, guard by Peter's side, and I am responsible for guarding the distance."

He turned his head again and shouted towards the off-road vehicle: "Turn around, don't turn off the engine."

The driver turned the car's head, facing the direction it came from, ready to start at any time.

Peter put his gun on his back, took off the camera equipment from the car, and slowly approached the edge of the giant pit.

Akim stood beside him with his automatic rifle.

Valentin leaned on the stone next to him, set up his rifle, and stared into the distance.

Peter first took pictures, then switched to the echo tester, selected a location, and measured the edge of the giant crater.

The instrument soon showed that, Peter was a little surprised, and said: "Head, the depth of the edge reaches 3.6 kilometers..."

As soon as the words fell, thick fog suddenly rose below the giant pit.

Valentin was the first to find out, thinking of the rumors of the residents, he shouted: "Get out, get out of here! Quick!"

Before he could finish speaking, thick fog also floated below the edge of the giant crater, and the fog filled at an astonishing speed, instantly covering Peter and Akeem.

bang bang bang-

Gunshots rang out, followed by screams.

The bullet seemed to hit a particularly solid object, making a sound like metal hitting.

"Go! Head! Go!" Akim shouted: "There is something in the fog..."

The sound disappeared.

Without any hesitation, Valentin jumped off the hill and flew into the off-road vehicle.

The driver stepped on the accelerator, and the off-road vehicle fled wildly.

Valentin looked back, and the fog was chasing after him.

He got out of the co-pilot window, picked up the AK74 and shot violently.

The bullet penetrated into the dense fog and flew to nowhere, and there was no sound.

The magazine soon emptied. Valentin took out the grenade and threw it backwards. The grenade landed on the ground and was swallowed by the dense fog in the blink of an eye. The sound of the explosion rumbled, but it did not affect the speed of the dense fog at all.

The dense fog was getting closer and closer, and the distance from the off-road vehicle was only a dozen meters.

Valentin returned to the car and said to the driver, "Buy me time."

The driver didn't speak, but nodded vigorously, trying his best to control the off-road vehicle and increase the speed.

Valentin took out the satellite phone, dialed it, and directly contacted the GRU headquarters.

He reported the situation here as quickly as possible.

There was a crackling sound from behind the off-road vehicle.

Valentin looked back and found that half of the car's buttocks were gone!
No debris, no people, the fog engulfed the rear of the car, then the back seat, and then rushed up.

Valentin pulled out the safety pin of a grenade and held it tightly in his hand.

It is impossible to run away, but he does not lack the courage to die with the enemy.

The driver and Valentin looked at each other, and also picked up a grenade.

Fog rushed in, and the off-road vehicle lost control, but the moment it lost control, it was completely enveloped by dense fog.

There were no explosions, no screams, and the tundra completely returned to tranquility.

Only the off-road vehicle tire marks on the ground proved that Valentin and his party had been here.

The tundra became quiet again, and the dense fog receded.

Comes fast, retreats fast, disappears without a trace in the blink of an eye.

On the ground, nothing was left.

The off-road vehicle and the two people on board disappeared completely.

In front of the pit at the Gate of Hell, Peter and Akim also left no traces. They disappeared, and the equipment they carried also disappeared.

…………

St. Petersburg, Nevsky Prospekt.

A shop selling tourist souvenirs has just been renovated and is about to open for business.

Ronan appears in the store and activates the Soul Gate.

As one of the two largest cities of the Maozi family, Ronan would certainly not let it go.

On the other side of Moscow, a solid soul gate was established last time.

This time, Ronan made up for St. Petersburg.

With the activation of the soul gate, Maozi's souls flew towards this side one after another.

In Ronan's vision, he could see clusters of red halos.

Enter the soul gate and become the power of the soul he uses.

Ronan does not discriminate, the soul of black people is the soul, and the soul of Maozi is also the soul.

In his eyes there is no difference.

Jess passed through the gate of souls and came to St. Petersburg.

She pulled Ronan up to the third floor, pointed to a group of white buildings in the distance and said, "That's the Hermitage Museum."

Ronan asked: "The last one of the world's four major museums?"

Jess smiled brightly: "Yes! We have been to the other three houses, but we haven't been here yet."

Ronan understood what she meant, and said directly: "Choose a time these few days, you can go over there, if Ilsa is interested, call her along."

Jess asked, "Are you free?"

Ronan nodded: "I'm going to Moscow soon."

There was news from the GRU that he was going to see Igor.

Jess said, "Okay, I'll ask Ilsa."

They now have the authority to open the door of the soul, and it is very convenient to transport the fancy things back to the soul temple.

I've been to the Louvre, the British Museum and the Metropolitan Museum, and I can't favor one over the other.

Ronan didn't stay any longer, he passed through the Soul Temple and came out of Moscow's Soul Gate.

Walking out of the store is the Central Business District, Ronan looked at the map a little bit, and went out to the appointed place.

Came to an old-fashioned cafe, waited for a while, Ronan waited until Igor, the GRU chief in disguise, came over.

Seeing Ronan, Igor had a headache, pulled out the chair and sat opposite, and said, "Boss, why did you come here in person?"

Ronan said directly: "Some things can only be confirmed by me to see for myself."

Igor felt less worried when he thought about what happened in Siberia, which is sparsely populated, or in a place like the Arctic Circle.

"It happened in Vikoyansk." Igor quickly introduced the situation of this small town in the Arctic Circle, and said: "I sent an elite tactical team from the GRU to check the situation. Just this morning, the team leader The news came from Valentin that they found the gate of hell, but they were attacked by a strange thick fog, and all personnel lost contact."

Ronan asked, "What exactly happened?"

Igor shook his head: "I don't know. Valentin only said that the thick fog engulfed people. After sending back the specific coordinates, the person lost contact and could no longer be contacted."

As long as Ronan is sure that there is something weird happening, he must go to see for details, and said: "Give me the address and coordinates, and I will go there tomorrow."

Igor was ready a long time ago, and handed a bag in his hand to Ronan: "The specific materials are all inside."

Ronan opened it and looked at it, mainly to see the history introduction of the town of Vikoyansk.

But no matter how you look at it, this is an ordinary town with only a little over 1000 residents in such a huge area.

Ronan put away the materials and prepared to leave.

Igor said suddenly: "Boss, don't make too much noise, okay?"

Ronan nodded: "I will try my best." He turned to say: "When I come back from Vikoyansk, I want to meet Demeter."

This name is very common on Maozi's side, but Igor knew that Ronan was definitely not talking about ordinary people, so he asked, "Demeter from the Safety Committee?"

"Yes, that's him." Ronan said directly: "I have something to discuss with him, so I don't need to tell him in advance."

Having been on Ronan's thief ship for such a long time, what Igor can do is to bite the bullet and agree: "Okay, then I will find a way to ask Demeter out."

Ronan didn't say any more, he packed his bags and left the cafe, heading to Siberia that night.
