A few hours ago.
A delegation of America Exorcists arrived in the Capital and clashed violently with local Ghost Tamer.
His arrogant words and domineering behavior are truly astonishing.
The Ghost Tamers responsible for maintaining order in the Capital were easily defeated, and Headquarters attempted to communicate with the Exorcists, but were met with a firm rebuff.
Headquarters convened another emergency meeting.
A suffocating sense of oppression filled the air as a group of senior executives sat around the conference table, their faces etched with worry and anxiety.
"These are truly turbulent times..." someone couldn't help but sigh.
Recently, Headquarters has been facing one problem after another.
Each one is more serious than the last.
It was as if I had run into a plague god; bad luck kept piling up.
Zhang Hongwen does indeed wield great power, but he faces a precarious situation. However, he is not particularly panicked, as his family is wealthy enough to withstand any turmoil.
Shortly after the meeting began, following a rapid discussion at the top, an order was issued to dispatch two powerful Law Enforcer to stop the Exorcists from continuing their mischief.
Sending two Law Enforcer is merely a warning, a prelude to further action. A peaceful resolution is best; Headquarters does not wish to resort to violence.
"But if the other party really doesn't know what's good for them, then we can only try to detain them all first, and then talk about the rest."
Zhang Hongwen spoke these words in a very serious tone.
Immediately, someone chimed in, "That's right. We maintain a friendly attitude and are willing to give them the opportunity for peaceful negotiations."
"But we've never been afraid of trouble. The Exorcists have already come knocking on our door. If they remain stubborn, we must give them a good beating!"
Zhang Hongwen said in a deep voice, "We must strive for the best outcome, but also prepare for the worst. If the Exorcist's goal is to provoke us, then we must take action now..."
One instruction after another was discussed and drafted at the meeting, and then quickly conveyed out.
Headquarters boasted that it had made all the necessary preparations to deal with the enemy, and Zhang Hongwen seemed to have found someone to shift the blame to, which greatly reduced his psychological pressure, giving him a rather confident and assertive demeanor.
As the meeting drew to a close, senior members rose one by one and left.
But just then, a scream shattered the quiet corridor, followed by a series of loud bangs.
A senior member, pale-faced and trembling, pointed to the stairs ahead. "Someone... someone fell down!"
Everyone looked in the direction he was pointing in a panic, only to see a colleague who had just been in the conference room lying motionless on the ground.
His limbs and neck were twisted, his face was pale, and his eyes were wide open, indicating that he was probably dead.
Emergency responders arrived quickly and, after confirming the death, solemnly announced it.
This sudden turn of events stunned the other high-ranking officials. The matter of Lu Mou's murder was still unresolved; how could another one have died?
When the deceased died, nearby witnesses said that he had just suddenly tripped and fallen, and nothing else seemed amiss.
The surveillance footage also shows that he did indeed step into empty space and accidentally fell to his death.
The seemingly plausible accidental death didn't seem like a genuine accident to anyone.
The deaths of two high-ranking officials on the same day are too much of a coincidence to be a mere coincidence.
The one with the worst expression was Zhang Hongwen. He knew how Lu Mou had died, and the appearance of a second victim was undoubtedly beyond his expectations.
I inexplicably felt a sense of being watched by an unknown, great terror.
However, this was just the beginning.
Following the death of the second high-ranking official, a third person quickly fell victim to the virus!
A senior executive was riding in an elevator when it malfunctioned, causing the elevator to plummet and killing him inside.
An investigation revealed that the elevator was old and the accident was purely accidental.
The fourth victim slipped and fell while going to the restroom, hitting his head on a hard object, resulting in fatal injuries.
These deaths all occurred in a very short time, giving people no chance to react and catching them completely off guard.
Each death is a logical coincidence, but when so many "accidents" happen all at once, it only makes people feel uneasy.
Panic spread rapidly.
As time went on, fewer and fewer senior members survived.
The "accidents" are becoming increasingly outrageous.
Choking to death while drinking water, falling to one's death on flat ground, sudden cardiac arrest...
Their deaths differed in manner, yet all carried an inexplicable sense of eeriness.
Fear gripped every member of the senior leadership.
They were absolutely certain that the Ghost Tamer were behind their attacks; otherwise, they couldn't have targeted only the top management at Headquarters with such precision.
It was as if Death was toying with the lives of ants, ready to choose someone to die at any moment.
Those high-ranking officials who were still alive quickly moved to the Golden Safe House.
Death comes so suddenly and violently that they have no time to think, and can only place their hopes on a safe house.
Gold can ward off the Supernatural.
The sealed environment of gold should also be able to prevent this death curse.
Unfortunately, the journey to the safe house was fraught with death.
Later, only two people remained.
When they were just one step away from the safe house, one of them collapsed and lost his life forever.
Zhang Hongwen was the last one to survive.
He huddled in a corner of the safe house, trembling.
When faced with the threat of death, those in high positions of power are not much different from ordinary people.
Zhang Hongwen was terrified by this series of unexpected events and suffered a mental breakdown.
In just a few minutes, all his colleagues were gone forever.
Such a blow is truly hard to accept.
Under normal circumstances, the Headquarters will not fall into chaos immediately after losing the command of these leaders.
But the situation is different now; America Exorcists are taunting them face-to-face.
This is a matter of great importance, and some decisions can only be made by the leaders; those below dare not act rashly.
Zhang Hongwen, who had lost his mind, held his phone and desperately dialed a number, but he could not get through.
The Secret Peeker he was eyeing had already run away.
A car sped along the highway, with a beautiful young woman in the driver's seat. In the back seat were a middle-aged couple, bound and gagged, seemingly kidnapped.
"Damn it, the entire top brass at Headquarters was wiped out!" the girl muttered absentmindedly, her face filled with disbelief.
As expected, she was still a notch below in terms of ruthlessness and having no bottom line!
Looking in the rearview mirror at the middle-aged man and woman in the back seat, she had originally considered them her trump card, but her opponents always played by their own rules, making unexpected moves.
She is now unsure whether the two people can fulfill their intended purpose.
"If only the Prophet were here..."
That guy must have seen something, because he abandoned her without even saying goodbye, disappearing as soon as he was told.
