American Celestial Master

Chapter 224, replacement

"Zoom in and take a look." Glasses said.

The picture began to enlarge on the display screen, and the glasses stared at the picture carefully.

"Wait a minute, here, zoom in here again, it looks like there are new skid marks here."

But enlarging the picture does not make the glasses see more clearly - the angle of the picture is wrong, and it is still not clear.

"Can you change the angle of the drone and take a picture from that side?" Glasses said.

"Team leader, to shoot from that angle, our drone would have to cross the border and fly to the Mexican side." An agent replied.

"What's the point? Our drone accidentally flew over the border due to the influence of air currents. Mexico is a friendly country to us. They will understand. Besides, they don't have a radar network targeting us at all. We passed by. They don’t know either.”

This is true. Mexico's air defense radar system is almost non-existent. Among its neighboring countries, Guatemala and Belize have almost no decent air power and do not need much defense against them. The military power of another neighboring country, the United States, is too strong. It makes no difference whether it is prepared for them or not, so Mexico will naturally not spend money on such useless things.

So the drone turned in one direction, crossed the border river between the United States and Mexico, and lowered its altitude, preparing to take a higher-resolution photo from another direction. Then……

"Drone, we lost contact with the drone..."

A Predator drone worth more than $3 million has gone missing after flying across the U.S.-Mexico border. Of course, the price of more than three million was the price many years ago. Now due to inflation and problems with the supply line of some parts, the price has increased by at least 500%.

"There is an invisible forbidden area in that place." The CIA quickly made this judgment.

"Team leader, the wireless signal of target 0174 was found!" Just when the glasses had judged that target 0174 had been lost, a shout suddenly came from the other side.

"Where is it? Can I contact the delivery person?"

“Delivery people are calling our number around Pisol.”

Pisol is a small city near San Antonio, a full 0174 kilometers away from the place where the accident occurred. It took less than half an hour from the time target disappeared to the time it appeared at its current location.

"Harry, answer the phone and calm the delivery man, we will send a helicopter over immediately." Glasses said, "Anderson, check the situation near his current location." The so-called "the situation near his current location" mainly means It refers to the situation of the "forbidden zone" in that place.

Anderson quickly gave the answer: "He is now in the 9-335 penalty area. People often go missing in that penalty area."

Glasses nodded. He knew that this was also the most common anomaly in restricted areas numbered starting with 9. This type of restricted area has limited dangers, except that individual people and vehicles disappear from time to time. Therefore, the U.S. government has the most relaxed management of such restricted areas. Basically, a warning sign is placed on the roadside near these restricted areas: Entering the Level 9 restricted area ahead. However, the U.S. government is already responsible. In other countries in the Americas, such dangerous areas that only occasionally cause single-digit disappearances are not qualified to be called "restricted areas." In fact, even in the United States, most people do not Take the Level 9 restricted area seriously. After all, the probability of missing here is no higher than that of a New York subway station or Seven Mile Avenue in Detroit.

As for people who disappeared in a certain restricted area, there have been some reports of people suddenly appearing in other areas, but because the number is very small and cannot be reproduced, the scientific community is very interested in this, but because it cannot be reproduced, it cannot be reproduced. Unable to start research.

Harry talked to Yuri who was delivering the goods on the phone. During the phone call, Yuri seemed quite nervous, while Harry tried to comfort him as much as possible, telling him that his current situation was not that dangerous and that their The helicopter was ready to depart to pick him up. In half an hour at most, he would be completely safe. In order to persuade him to stay with the goods, he used coercion and inducement:

"Listen to me, Yuri, you don't want your family to know that what you are doing is illegal business, right?"

"They all know that as long as they have money, who the hell cares whether it's legal or not?"

"Okay, that thing has already marked you, but as long as you cooperate with us, we will help you remove that mark during the handover. Otherwise, just that mark will make you particularly unlucky in the future. It will almost certainly bankrupt you."

"Damn it, this thing is so dangerous and you didn't tell me. I want more money..."

"Bargain with him as much as possible so that his mental attributes can be mobilized as much as possible. Otherwise, in his current state, he may lose control at any time. Once such a situation occurs and we want to recover this thing, the cost will become Higher." The glasses signaled Harry to cover the receiver first, and then reminded him in a low voice.

So Harry and Yuri started bargaining constantly. On the phone, both parties kept swearing and swearing, accusing each other of being greedy, going back on their word and having no spirit of contract...

"Boss, this is the monitoring equipment installed on him. His physical condition is not normal. It has obviously been severely corroded. Strictly speaking, it is not certain whether Yuri is still a complete human being. . He is already transforming into a dark creature." Anderson reminded in a low voice.

"Isn't that just right? It can be used as part of the consumables."

There is indeed something wrong with Yuri's physical condition. His body is undergoing drastic changes. Although his appearance has not changed much, things on his body are starting to get messed up. The balance of various electrolytes and bioelectrical signals are all messed up. After a while, the transformation of Yuri by the Mind Flayer who surrendered to School A lot of tentacled monsters appeared on the ground, trembling constantly, wrapping these tentacles around a mobile phone, and bargaining with the guy inside the mobile phone.

During the bargaining process, the trembling of its body began to stop, and the various tentacles that appeared on its face and body also retracted, and it became a normal person again. His hand reached over and took the phone from the retracting tentacle.

"Listen, you have to give me at least another five hundred thousand, or... wait, I heard the sound of the helicopter, you guys are not slow."
