Chapter 270 The second prophecy of destruction!


    【Liu Li Island】


    ??After these days of overt and covert competition between the three major forces, the brightest star on the "Star Wave" flag of the Seven Seas Federation is like a pearl covered in dust, and the atmosphere is tense and depressing.


    The air is filled with the invisible smell of gunpowder smoke.


    ?No one knows whether the dispute will break out again.


    Pedestrians walking on the road look in a hurry, especially when night is approaching, and they dare not stay on the street.


    ?The island that used to be bustling and noisy has actually become a bit desolate and deserted.


    In the Public Security Bureau of [Liuli Island].


    A major in military uniform put down the documents in his hand, closed his eyes slightly, and put his hand on his forehead to relieve fatigue.


    The conference table in front of him turned into a huge desk, filled with various official documents and files.


    ?During this period of time, the Public Security Bureau of [Liuli Island] has almost been working at overload.


    The disappearance of scholars at the institute, the massacre in a church, the serial murders in the city...


    Let alone the investigation of these incidents, their aftermath work alone is extremely cumbersome and heavy.


    Before these days, members of the Public Security Bureau never imagined that they would be so busy.


    ?This is [Liu Li Island]!


    One of the most prosperous islands in the Federation.


    Who would have thought that someone would be so bold as to commit such major crimes on this island.


    It can be said that the workload of members of the Public Security Bureau these days is more than their workload in the past three years combined!


    At this time, a captain pushed the door open and came in, delivering another stack of documents and saying with a gloomy face.


    “[Apocalypse Chamber of Commerce] A businessman died suddenly at home. He was suspected to have suffered a mental breakdown. His family members asked us to find the real culprit as soon as possible.”


    “Again?!”


    Hearing this, the Public Security Bureau employees in the office suddenly let out a wail.


    The major couldn''t help complaining: "I''ve had enough of this day!"


    “I just can’t figure it out. Why don’t the higher-ups simply declare war on the Nalaoshizi [Truth Society], [Hui Sect] and [Youshu Sect]?”


    "We must just swallow our anger and let them run wild in our territory."


    His words could not help but arouse the resonance of many colleagues in the room.


    “Yeah, yeah, let’s just put all these heretics on wanted list.”


    “Let’s see if they still dare to disobey federal laws!”


    As official soldiers of the Federation, they have always had a strong sense of belonging and identification with the Federation.


    In other words, they have a sense of arrogance in their hearts.


    In fact, soldiers do have pride.


    ? No matter what, the Federation is now the most extensive and powerful force on the Seven Seas.


    In terms of overall strength, these three major forces combined may not be able to compete with the Federation.


    Because of this, people in the Public Security Bureau cannot understand why the big shots above have kept silent about the recent chaos.


    When it comes to war, is the Federation afraid of anyone?


    Just when many people in the Public Security Bureau were filled with indignation.


    ?A middle-aged man with gray hair coughed twice and sighed softly: "You guys, your vision is still too shallow."


    Hearing this, the room suddenly became silent.


    ??If an ordinary person said this, he would probably get scolded, but the middle-aged man who spoke was not an ordinary person.


    ?This man''s name is Cameron, he is a veteran of the Public Security Bureau, with at least 40 years of experience, and he is considered a highly respected senior.


    His words are quite authoritative within the Public Security Bureau.


    The major who complained earlier was young and energetic after all, so he couldn''t help but ask: "Why did the senior say this?"


    “Don’t you think that the Federation is no match for these three secret sects?”


    ?Secret sects such as [The Nether Sect] have always been collectively referred to as "secret sects" in the Federation.


    “Of course not.”


    Cameron shook his head: "Our federation is spread across the seven seas, and its overall strength is certainly not comparable to that of the three secret sects."


    “But the vast scope of our influence is both our advantage and our disadvantage.”


    “If we really start a war with these three secret sects, they can completely avoid the large federal forces, break up into parts, fight guerrillas with us, and frequently attack remote islands to attack the sea areas where we have weak defenses.”


    “This time, more civilians will be involved in this dispute.”


    ?Thinking of that possibility, the major couldn''t help but turn pale and frown deeply.


    “Of course, in the end, it will be our federation that wins the final victory.”


    Cameron continued: “It’s just that the price to pay is destined to be extremely heavy.”


    “Now, the three major esoteric sects seem to be very powerful, but they actually maintain considerable restraint and do not take the initiative to provoke us.”


    ??The major was puzzled: "But the attack on the Federal Research Institute..."


    int


    Cameron sneered: "Although the Federal Research Institute is nominally an industry of our federation, in recent years, their independence and confidentiality have become increasingly higher."


    “Even our Public Security Bureau can’t conduct an in-depth investigation.”


    “I suspect that the Federal Research Institute has actually deteriorated!”


    ?These words caused a small uproar among the people.


    ?Cameron went on to make a shocking statement: “Quite a few of these scholars have turned into lunatics chasing ‘truth’.”


    “Huijiao’s move actually helped the federation purge members of the [Truth Society] from the institute.”


    “The deaths of several colleagues before were also related to their esoteric identities.”


    Everyone''s expressions changed slightly, and they thought seriously about the authenticity of his words.


    “The members of the Secret Cult are really hidden too deeply, and they have already taken root in every corner of the federation.”


    ?Cameron looked at the major and sneered: "Actually, don''t say institute."


    “Believe it or not, right now, within our Public Security Bureau, there are also believers who quietly believe in the ‘Lord of Glory’, ‘Holy Lord of the Deep’ or ‘Truth’.”


    When he said this, his cloudy eyes swept across the crowd, causing many people to look unnatural.


    A few people even lowered their heads, not daring to look at them.


    The major''s expression became even more ugly.


    ?However, Cameron did not expose the identities of these people, but laughed.


    “It doesn’t matter, belief is free.”


    “Federal laws do not stipulate which religious denominations are prohibited.”


    “It’s just that if you are like this, how can you talk about the big shots in the federation?”


    “Perhaps they are also believers of a certain sect?”


    "If a war really breaks out, can the faction they belong to really devote themselves wholeheartedly to the battle against the Secret Cult? Even if it can, can other factions really believe in them?"


    Hearing this, the major fell silent completely.


    ?Just imagining that situation made him feel sweaty and stressed.


    “So, sitting on a mountain and watching the fight between tigers and watching the three major esoteric sects consume each other’s combat power is the best choice at the moment.”


    ?Cameron’s eyes flashed with the wisdom of an older man, and he spoke with sincerity.


    “Besides, how do you know that the federation really hasn’t taken any measures at all?”


    After saying these words, the scene that had been full of excitement before became almost silent.


    Just as Cameron said, they did take it too lightly!


    The major showed a look of shame on his face and bowed seriously.


    “Senior Cameron, you have learned a lesson.”


    ?Cameron waved his hand: "It''s just a bit of experience."


    “How this struggle will develop from now on is anyone’s guess.”


    Just when the members of the Public Security Bureau returned to their respective posts with their own concerns.


    ?The door to the room was suddenly pushed open in a hurry.


    A soldier rushed in in a panic and reported: "The port...the port, a small warship suddenly appeared!" Cameron suddenly frowned: "Warship? Appeared suddenly? At this time..."


    Due to the recent troubles caused by the three major esoteric sects, [Liuli Island] closed the port for a time and implemented a strict port closure strategy to prevent people with evil intentions from taking the opportunity to sneak into and escape the island.


    So, the appearance of such a warship is undoubtedly very unusual.


    ??The soldier took a breath and continued: "The warship seems to have been teleported to the port with the help of some kind of spatial coordinates."


    “Spatial coordinates, etc., could it be...”


    ?Cameron suddenly remembered something, and his expression suddenly changed.


    He didn''t even leave a single explanation, he hurried out the door and rushed towards the port.


    ?Seeing this, the major also realized the seriousness of the matter, and immediately brought a few good men with him to follow in the footsteps of senior Cameron.


    …


    …


    It didn’t take long.


    ?Cameron and his party hurried to the port.


    The soldiers guarding the port have surrounded the unknown warship.


    There were several pastors from the Deep Sea Church praying in the crowd.


    “Goddess above, may you protect us.”


    ?The priest lowered his head and prayed devoutly to the goddess: "Please bear witness..."


    Incense and holy oil have been lit to surround the warship in a special ritual.


    In fact, this is the safest way to deal with an unknown ship.


    ?Those ships returning from the depths of the sea are often contaminated by some mysterious force without even knowing it.


    Rush contact is a sign of irresponsibility for the lives of soldiers and even the safety of [Liuli Island].


    Soon, a solid black gas appeared in the incense, which lingered for a long time.


    This made the priests look even more serious.


    ?This kind of black gas is proof that this warship has encountered strong pollution.


    ?At this time, Cameron was still walking quickly in the direction of the warship.


    The soldiers immediately stopped in front of him and said politely.


    “Lieutenant Colonel Cameron, this warship is severely contaminated and must be decontaminated before contact can be made.”


    ?Cameron stayed as calm as possible and said: "Just let me see the logo of this warship, just take a look."


    “I carry the amulet of the Deep Sea Church on my body, so I still have the ability to resist this pollution.”


    “This matter may determine the future of the Federation!”


    “Ah this…”


    Hearing Cameron describe the situation so seriously, the soldiers couldn''t help but hesitate.


    They just handled the incident based on past experience, but they did not expect that Cameron would take it so seriously.


    “Get out of the way, Lieutenant Colonel Cameron is not the kind of person to be alarmist.”


    A priest said: "But before that, please let me cast a patron saint spell on you."


    After applying magic, illusory waves surged around Cameron.


    ?Cameron nodded to the priest, then walked through the crowd and came to the edge of the port.


    ??This warship is slightly petite in size. It is suspected to be a destroyer or frigate. The iron-gray painting on the ship has a tough and direct military style.


    However, the situation of this ship is obviously not very good.


    There are eye-catching cracks all over the hull, as well as some terrible wounds that look like they have been gnawed by some giant beast.


    A thin layer of ice condensed on the surface of the hull, struggling to maintain the integrity of the entire ship.


    Looking from a distance, there seemed to be some traces of blood on the deck.


    The moment he saw the appearance of the warship clearly, Cameron''s face turned pale, as if he had aged dozens of years rapidly, and he whispered in a mournful voice.


    “It is indeed [Private Number]…”


    “[Private Number]!?”


    ??The major who was following Cameron at a distance heard this whisper, and his expression suddenly changed.


    “You mean, [King]’s frigate, [Private]?”


    A few months ago, the "King" and its frigates launched an exploration operation to the Far North.


    At the moment, only the [Private] has returned to the port of [Liu Li Island] with the help of teleported coordinates.


    This incident itself explains a lot of information.


    “I won’t admit my mistake.”


    Cameron murmured: "I served on the [King] for five years, how could I mistake the appearance of a frigate?"


    “But, [King]...what exactly happened?”


    “Colonel Gold, where are you now?”


    At this time, a long pedal extended from the side of the "Private" and landed on the ground of the port.


    “Lieutenant Colonel Cameron, please be careful!”


    The priest behind him immediately gave Cameron an early warning.


    “We have previously made a call request to this warship, but no one responded.”


    “The crew on that ship may have turned into irrational monsters.”


    Before the priest finished speaking, a strange figure appeared from the pedal.


    ?The figure barely maintained a human appearance, wearing a military uniform, but no matter how you looked at it, it revealed a strong inhumanity.


    A strong smell of blasphemy lingers on its body.


    Shuish, swipe, swipe!


    Seeing that figure, the soldiers immediately raised their guns and aimed at each other.


    “Stop! Otherwise we will shoot!”


    Out of concern for the safety of [Liu Li Island], they could not allow this weird being to land on the island.


    But the figure seemed not to have heard the soldiers'' warning and continued walking towards the shore.


    Tick tock…tick tock…


    ?People can even smell a rotten stench.


    Just when the soldiers were about to shoot, Cameron jumped up, jumped on the pedal, and walked towards the opponent.


    “Lieutenant Colonel Cameron!”


    Everyone was shocked. No one knew what the consequences would be if they came into close contact with this kind of pollutant.


    But Cameron did it anyway.


    He walked up to the figure and stared at him quietly.


    ??The face of this weird figure has been distorted, the eyes are hollow and lifeless, and the flesh and blood has the texture of mud, as if dripping downward little by little, and it looks extremely weird.


    “Is this Mr. Cameron...?”


    A hoarse question came from under the opponent''s military hat.


    ?Cameron’s tone was slightly sad: “It’s me.”


    “Great…the captain said…”


    "If it were... Mr. Cameron... he would definitely believe me..."


    ?The strange figure said with difficulty: "We...all died there..."


    “The King and Captain Gold...are trapped..."


    “[Private Number]…asking for help…”


    ?Suddenly, its tone suddenly became extremely high-pitched, as if it was crying or wailing, and said: "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..., the prophecy of world destruction, the prophecy is true!"


    “Flood! The great flood is coming again!”


    As soon as he finished speaking, his body suddenly collapsed like mud.
