Mysterious Force!
Jurgen's eyes narrowed again, but this time, he tried to calm his shock and slowly reached out, his hand trembling slightly, to take the phone.
It looked like a smartphone common before the war, but you couldn't tell anything about it. Jurgen took a deep breath and looked at the text displayed on the screen with a mix of curiosity and trepidation.
"In apartment 1705 of building 12 in 41st District, Thompson Curry has been reported by a colleague for committing an Emotion Crime. Two High Priest and a squad of soldiers are on their way from the Church to his residence to conduct a search and arrest."
Upon seeing this, Jurgen was startled. Thompson Curry, mentioned here, was a member of their Resistance Organization, and wasn't currently at the base. Could it really be...
Before he could think further, a few more lines of text appeared on the screen.
"The search team is expected to arrive in 45 minutes."
"Rescue and removal of contraband can be carried out."
"A safe route has been generated, bypassing the patrolling soldiers."
Just as Jurgen finished looking at these, a map automatically popped up. Upon closer inspection, Jurgen realized it was a map of the inner city of Libya, clearly marked with three dots of different colors. Judging by their positions, one of them, which remained stationary, was the building at number 12 in 41st District mentioned earlier. The other, which was moving, was probably the clerics and soldiers who had gone to carry out the search and arrest. And the last place on the map was precisely where they were now!
Jurgen was startled, but since the other party had managed to slip the phone in unnoticed, it was perfectly normal for them to know their location.
Composing himself, Jurgen examined the map more closely and discovered that it not only showed the three locations but also automatically generated a route from their location to Block 41. The route was winding and complex, seemingly deliberately avoiding something, and was clearly not given randomly.
Moreover, this route is not static. Around the route, there are numerous small red dots, some stationary and some moving. As these red dots move, the route is constantly and automatically adjusted to always bypass the red dots.
After a moment's thought, Jurgen made a guess: these red dots were likely soldiers on guard and patrolling the roads. How could the other side have such a clear grasp of even this? Just how powerful were they? Could they be high-ranking members of the Church? But apart from the Pope and Vice Chairman Dupont, no one else should be able to obtain such an accurate real-time deployment map. Moreover, even they might not know all these things so clearly.
What kind of mysterious force delivered the phone?
Jurgen was conflicted. The origin of this phone was too strange, and he didn't know whether he should believe it and risk rescuing it.
In that brief moment of hesitation, Jurgen noticed that the icon representing the search team had moved forward another space, and the time displayed on it had changed to 44 minutes.
He stared intently at the screen for several seconds, then Jurgen stood up, his expression resolute, as if he had made a decision. He grabbed his phone and strode out of the office.
Although it's unknown who planted the phone, one thing is certain: the other party is a friend, not an enemy. Otherwise, if they had simply revealed their location to the Church, none of them would have been able to escape. There would have been no need for them to go through all this trouble by using a phone to play tricks on them.
Therefore, the search team story is probably true, and the other party likely genuinely wanted to help them rescue people.
Now that things have come to this, Jurgen has nothing left to worry about. The location of the base has been discovered by the other side, and if they really want to deal with them, it will be a piece of cake. Since they are still safe and sound, it proves the other side's stance. Time is of the essence, and all he needs to consider now is whether to save them or not!
Clearly, Jurgen chose the former. In the past, when their compatriots were captured, they could only watch helplessly. Now that they had received reliable information in advance and had a chance to rescue them, he would not give up easily.
Moreover, having put aside his suspicions about this suddenly appearing mysterious force, Jurgen quickly began to think about a deeper issue.
Judging from the warnings they gave him, they seemed to know everything about the situation in Libya and the Church. They even knew about the reports, the movements of the search teams, and the distribution of patrolling soldiers in the city. This made him think of something he had been considering before. The number of people being arrested every day had suddenly decreased a lot. He had initially thought it was a conspiracy by the Church, but now it seemed that it was very likely also due to this mysterious organization.
Has a new Resistance Organization been formed? And one that possesses considerable strength?
There was no time to think further. Now that it was confirmed that the other party was a friend, not an enemy, the most urgent task was to rescue that companion.
After rushing out of the office, Jurgen quickly gathered several capable men. They came out of the underground base and, through a secret room and two hidden doors, arrived at a room filled with tables and chairs, resembling a classroom.
A middle-aged man standing on the platform was explaining something to a dozen or so people below. At this moment, the bookshelf opened, Jurgen led a few people out from inside. He just nodded to them without making any other move. The dozen or so people sitting on the ground also seemed not to see them and continued to look down at the books on the table.
This is the 42nd District Free Reading Room.
The Free Reading Room in Libya are similar to libraries, where people can come and read during their breaks. However, unlike libraries, there is only one type of book here: the scriptures of the Jehovah Church. In fact, this is just one part of a series of brainwashing methods used by the Church.
Who would have thought that the entrance to the Resistance Organization's underground base was hidden in a reading room here, and that the person in charge was actually a member of the Resistance Organization, the middle-aged man standing on the podium explaining Church scriptures, and that the people sitting below were also members of the Resistance Organization, just using this place as a cover.
Just as Jurgen was leading the group out of the Free Reading Room, his cell phone, which was in his pocket, suddenly vibrated.
Jurgen took out his phone and saw another message pop up on it.
"Please put on your headphones."
After looking at it, Jurgen realized that there was actually a device the size of a soybean stuck on the back of the phone.
Jurgen's attention had been entirely focused on the phone itself and its contents, so he hadn't noticed the small earpiece.
