"Yes."
After the Alphas heard the conversation between William and Serena, the pleasant atmosphere instantly switched to seriousness, and they were ready to escort William out of the recording building.
Hunk immediately contacted Fire Spirit and asked him to send the Pelican to respond.
William, who was protected by the group, followed the Alphas and continued to ask Serena:
"Serena, what is the specific situation this time that would lead you to judge it as an abnormal phenomenon of Keter-class?"
"Boss."
Serena responded, "Detailed pictures and video information need to be played by Central Control Console on the bridge of Fire Spirit.
But it is certain that the 'god' that this cult believes in has some ability to influence human thinking, and can even cause physiological changes in humans who believe in it.
Moreover, these believers have shown a high degree of organization, and many wealthy people are also members of the cult, providing them with generous financial guarantees.
According to the analysis of the data sent back by the agents, the number of cult members has reached more than 40,000, and they also have their own armed forces.
The most troublesome thing is that these cult personnel have a clear division of labor. There are veterans who are responsible for training armed personnel, and there are also personnel who are responsible for arresting ordinary people for absorption and transformation.
The nearby area has been almost completely infiltrated by the cult, but there are still a large number of uninformed ordinary people and our hidden agents.
As for the undercover agents inside the cult, for unknown reasons they are not affected by the cult's 'gods' and still maintain normal sanity and have not leaked any company information."
When Serena finished speaking, William was already escorted by Alpha to the parking lot outside the recording building.
William looked at the ten neatly parked SUVs and said quietly, "Serena, the town where the cult is located should not be able to avoid your surveillance."
"Except for the palace where the 'god' lives, I can monitor and monitor any place connected to the Internet." Serena replied.
"Yeah." William nodded slightly.
'It seems... those undercover agents should have been assimilated into the system to protect their loyalty, so they were not influenced by the god and rebelled.'
William frowned slightly and thought to himself.
And he took advantage of the time before the Pelican arrived to think about the origin of the abnormal phenomenon encountered this time.
church...
Los Illuminados(LosIlluminados) of <Resident Evil 4>?
It's very similar, but Los Illuminados uses parasites to control the human mind.
The cult mentioned by Serena has a certain "god" that can directly affect people near it.
It doesn't seem like there is such a thing as a parasite.
"Hu-~"
At this time, Hydrogen Engine's unique noise resounded over the parking lot, interrupting William's meditation.
I saw a Pelican slowly landing in the open space of the parking lot.
Then Hunk immediately asked ten Alphas to drive away in the SUV, while the remaining Alphas followed William and boarded the Pelican to Fire Spirit, which was 'parked' in low-Earth orbit.
Inside the bridge;
Carter, the captain of Fire Spirit, and Mike, who is in charge of the ship's combat personnel, are both here. The two of them and William are surrounding Central Control Console.
And Serena is also imaged on the screen of Central Control Console, explaining to the three people the abnormal phenomenon they will face this time:
"Everyone, there is a mountain called North Point five kilometers west of Delberg Town in Utah in the United States.
And on the top of the mountain is a huge palace built by the cult, and the abnormal phenomenon this time happened inside this palace."
While Serena was introducing, the screen under her feet was also updating real-time images and information.
The first thing that catches everyone's attention is the thumbnail image of the United States Utah taken by the Umbrella satellite.
The picture focuses on the center of Utah.
Zoom in.
The towns of Fort Dyer, Ferron and Huntington are visible, as well as North Cape Mountain on the left side of the picture.
The picture is enlarged again.
On the top of the mountain North Cape Mountain, there is a magnificent palace building on the platform on the edge of the eastern cliff.
When the image was taken, a group of believers dressed in black were holding a kneeling ceremony in the square outside the palace.
Then Serena continued to explain, "According to my statistics, there are three towns affected by this abnormal phenomenon, and the number of people involved reaches 120,000.
(Schematic diagram of the affected area)
We are now ready to play the video file of the anomaly."
After saying that, Serena played the video sent back by the undercover agent.
.
Video material:
The agents used the special shape of the micro camera and replaced the buttons on the shirt collar to conduct hidden filming.
From the conversation in the video, we learned that the agents seemed to have assisted the cult in handling the police investigation, and then successfully gained the trust of the cult's top brass.
Immediately afterwards, the agent followed several senior cult members into a bus and drove westward away from Delberg Town where they were.
Since the drive took more than 20 minutes, it was fast forwarded by Serena.
Until the vehicle stopped halfway up the mountain at North Cape Mountain, the video playback speed returned to normal.
The agents followed the cultists out of the car.
After getting off the car, what appeared in the video was a large number of armed men.
The unified khaki uniforms, Kevlar Helmet, Bulletproof Vest, Tactical Belt and other weapons and equipment are obviously stronger than the American National Guard.
Then an officer, dressed as some kind of armed man, appeared in the agents' view and asked them what their purpose was.
The senior believer who led the agent to the top of the mountain responded, saying that the agent had gained the trust of the church and was preparing to take the agent to receive the baptism of 'God'.
The officer stared at the agent for a few seconds, then turned around and waved, signaling for all armed personnel to let him go.
The agents and cultists sat back in the car.
The bus continued to drive towards the top of the mountain.
The video fast forwards again and returns to normal after a few seconds.
The agents got out of the car and followed the senior believers through the square in front of the palace.
The cult members here behave extremely strangely, with some voluntarily being violently abused by others, with an expression of enjoyment on their faces.
What's even worse is that they performed self-comfort in public, and the floor tiles in the square were filled with red and white liquid, which was extremely corrupt.
And came to the palace.
Twelve guards, three meters tall, wearing black cloaks and masks, are stationed here.
The agent deliberately pointed the camera towards the nearest guard.
Due to the mask, the specific appearance of the guard cannot be seen clearly, but the guard's eyes glow dimly red, and his skin has a tendency to rot.
So far, the video taken by the undercover agent has confirmed the existence of abnormal phenomena in this cult.
The agents then walked through the dark corridors, illuminated only by torches.
Finally, the agents and senior cultists arrived at the lobby that also lit up the interior of the palace with open flames.
On the high platform at the end of the lobby sits the 'god' worshiped by the cult.
I saw that it had a roughly human appearance, with rotten skin, its eyes glowed red like the guard just now, and there were soft octopus-like tentacles below the bridge of its nose.
That 'god' gave William who watched the video the first impression, that is, Octopus Captain in "Pirates of the Caribbean".
