From Prisoner to Si Chen..
Chapter 470 Dilemma
Chapter 470 Dilemma
Boom——
The roar of engines echoed through the streets.
A silver-gray car was speeding through the city streets of the Triumph District, like a gust of wind, attracting the attention of passers-by on the street.
Passersby cursed and looked up, only to find that the silver car had the official white license plate with black logo, and the characters ended with the "cross" unique to the Triumph Building.
The cursing voices gradually died down, and some people even stopped and saluted from a distance at the silver carriage passing by.
Such a hurried official vehicle must be due to some important matter...
Gilan, who was driving, had a blank expression on his face. He controlled the steering wheel with both hands and stepped on the accelerator to the bottom.
He swiftly overtook the few cars and carriages on the road, causing bursts of exclamations.
With his extraordinary reaction speed, Gillan was not worried about any accidents. On the contrary, he was dissatisfied with the slow speed.
Just now in the apartment, he received a call from a mysterious investigation committee, and the staff on the other end sounded quite anxious.
Fortunately, the other party spoke clearly and clearly conveyed Teacher Pala's transfer order, asking him to rush to Triumph Building immediately to take charge of the situation.
The specific situation cannot be explained over the phone.
But Gillan also knew roughly what happened.
"The support from all the major official forces in the empire was all intercepted and killed by the mysterious force..."
He narrowed his eyes, thinking about a solution.
"The Mechanics Union, the Church of Redemption, the Chamber of Commerce, the Church of Our Lady... without exception, all have suffered heavy losses and are seeking help from the Investigation Committee."
The reason why these forces sent their respective forces to the capital to assist the investigation committee was because of Para Celsus's intervention.
More than ten days ago, in order to deal with the unexpected events that might occur this month, Pala visited the top leaders of these forces one by one.
The Eclipse Society is extremely dangerous and is plotting evil actions against the Empire. And all signs indicate that there is a high-ranking person behind this.
Therefore, Pala attaches great importance to it.
He was worried that the mysterious investigation committee alone would not be able to deal with this incident, so he requested assistance from various major forces in advance.
Unexpectedly, the enemy seemed to have accurately seen through their secret actions. While the personnel from various forces were still on their way to the capital, they were brutally ambushed and killed.
The situation was urgent and Gillan could not care too much. He had to drive at full speed, hoping to arrive at Triumph Building as soon as possible.
Less than five minutes.
The silver car drove to the bottom of Triumph Building.
After getting off the car, Ji Lan quickly walked into the building and took the elevator to the 70th floor as quickly as possible.
As soon as he arrived at the committee hall, he found that quite a few people had gathered there.
There were no less than a hundred men and women, all dressed in black uniforms, all members of the mysterious investigation committee, including team leaders and even special operations teams (gravediggers).
This shows the urgency of this incident.
"Mr. Gillan Iros is here."
"Sir!"
"Chief Gilan!"
When the crowd saw the purple-eyed young man arrive, they all stood up and saluted, greeting him respectfully.
Gillan has two identities abroad, one is the Executive Minister of the Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the other is the new Secretary-General of State of the House of Lords.
But here, he has only one identity, that is, the head of the special operations team of the mysterious investigation committee.
He is also the only student of Chairman Pala.
He can be called a successor.
In addition, his deeds during this period made his reputation grow and he was deeply respected by the committee members.
Everyone addresses him respectfully as "Sir".
"Good morning, everyone."
Gilan strode forward and nodded to the crowd.
With a calm expression, he walked past the crowd and went straight to the podium in the committee hall.
At this time, a tall woman who was originally standing on the side of the platform hurriedly took two steps forward and came to Jilan's side.
It was Mavi Martier, who was dressed like a queen in a black windbreaker and a ponytail.
"Mr. Gilan, this is a temporary intelligence document... In addition, Chairman Pala left for an urgent matter and cannot come back for the time being. He asked me to inform you that you will be in charge of the committee. Everything will be up to you, so you don't have to worry too much."
Maiev handed over a stack of documents and whispered in Gillan's ear.
Gilan nodded, indicating that he understood.
"Thank you, Maiev."
"You're welcome, Commander Gillan."
Maiev winked at him and crossed her eyes respectfully.
Jilan took the document, flipped through it quickly, and his expression became more serious.
The entire committee hall was quite quiet.
No one was whispering to each other at an inappropriate time. Everyone was looking seriously at the young man with purple eyes who was flipping through the documents on the stage.
The only sound in the room was the rustling of papers.
A few minutes later.
Jilan put down the documents, pulled the octagonal microphone on the podium in front of him, and said:
"Everyone, the chairman is out for some urgent business, so I'm in charge of this place for the time being..."
"Regarding the 'Emergency Response Deployment for the April Incident', I believe everyone has received the relevant orders, but right now, the personnel of the Mechanical Union, the Church of the Atonement, the Chamber of Commerce, and the Church of the Holy Mother have encountered accidents. An unknown force attacked them on their way to the capital, and they urgently need our support." "According to intelligence, all four forces have been maliciously targeted by divination. Compared to the possibility of an 'insider', I personally prefer that there is a superior behind the other party who intervened."
"Commander Gillan."
At this time, a senior member of the special operations team who was sitting in the front row stood up.
This person is a burly man with a beard and sunglasses. He looks serious and has a frown on his face.
"I don't know what you base your speculation on... Sorry, I'm not questioning your judgment, but since it involves someone in a higher position, we have to be extremely vigilant."
"The main body responsible for this incident is the extreme esoteric cult 'Eclipse Society', and behind it is the evil god's messenger 'Windmill Cat' Pal Solomon."
Gilan glanced at the burly man, put his hands on the edge of the podium, and spoke calmly.
"The mortal self of the Windmill Cat had been severely damaged by Chairman Pala and other powerful men of the empire, and is temporarily unable to take action... But he still has an ally, a monarch of hell named the Spirit King."
As he spoke, Gillan raised his hand.
A bone-carved Ouija board appeared out of thin air in his palm, attracting the attention of everyone present.
"This is a mysterious artifact called the 'Lothar Ouija Board'. It has extremely strong divination capabilities and was created by the 'Spirit King'."
"Captain Jilan, these alone are probably not enough to conclude that this 'Spiritual King' is behind the unknown forces, right?"
Another female senior member of the special operations team stood up and spoke in a deep voice.
Gillan sighed.
He tapped the papers on the table.
Amplified by an octagonal microphone, Gillan's voice echoed through the committee room:
"There are several important details in the intelligence that was received. The attacks suffered by the four forces were all related to death, illusions, drama, and poetry... and these just happened to correspond to the four ascenders under the seat of the 'Spirit King'."
"?!"
All the committee members present were shocked.
"Four Ascendants descended to the mortal world?"
Obviously, facing such a terrifying enemy, everyone felt tremendous pressure and was terrified for a moment.
Even the fifth-level senior officials of the special operations team showed a very solemn expression.
Tuk Tuk!
Gillan knocked on the table again, signaling silence.
When everyone's voices gradually died down, he said:
"I personally speculate that the other party has two purposes in killing the four forces this time."
"The first is to weaken the overall strength of the Empire's mysterious side, so that the Eclipse Society's next move will have less resistance."
"Secondly, it is very likely that they are deliberately trying to attract our attention and make a feint to the east and attack in the west."
Gillan said, his tone getting more serious.
"The four forces came to assist the Empire and asked us for help after being attacked. Regardless of their position, we have no reason to refuse."
"But rash action can easily lead to falling into the enemy's trap."
"I'm afraid what they want is to disperse the power of the mysterious investigation committee... and the 'Eclipse Society' will take the opportunity to implement their unknown plan and strike at the empire."
"Once a major change occurs in the empire, it will inevitably affect the situation of the Bu'ao War."
"So we must be extremely careful..."
As Gillan's analysis became more in-depth, the committee members present were no fools and immediately understood the pros and cons.
If you pull one hair, the whole body will move!
The opponent's attack came without any warning, but it happened to hit the critical point, and invisibly, the mysterious investigation committee was killed on the spot.
For a moment, there was silence in the committee hall.
Many people were already breaking out in cold sweats, realizing how serious the current predicament was!
If we are not careful, everyone here will become a sinner of the empire!
The purple-eyed young man on the stage also impressed everyone with his calm conversation and incisive analysis.
Unconsciously, everyone became more convinced that Chairman Pala handed over the command to Gilan Ilos not as his student.
But because of his ability and strength!
"Commander Gilan, how should we respond?"
The sturdy man from before asked.
His tone became urgent:
"Are we just going to watch our allies get attacked without helping them... Please give us your orders."
"Of course we need support."
Jilan glanced at the whole audience and said calmly.
"The Mechanics Union, the Church of Atonement, the Chamber of Commerce, and the Church of Our Lady are important allies of the Empire. If we stand aside and watch, they will inevitably be disheartened, or even become enemies, which will not be worth the loss."
"But in order to avoid over-dispersing the committee's power and giving the other side an opportunity to take advantage, I plan to send only two teams to support the Mechanics Union and the Chamber of Commerce respectively."
"Gures, Manning, the two of you will lead your respective teams of gravediggers and bring 30 committee members with you to support the Mechanical Union immediately."
"Beldych, Elona, you two will also lead your respective teams of gravediggers and thirty committee members to support the Chamber of Commerce."
Gilan gave instructions in an orderly manner.
The four special operations team leaders who were named were all level 5 Jiushi. They all stood up and saluted towards the platform.
Among them was the strong man.
But he frowned and said hesitantly:
"Captain Gilan, according to the committee's regulations, the Gravedigger Team only operates against the Nightmare Monument and does not participate in other mysterious events... What you did is a violation of the rules."
