Containment control starts with the umbrella

"Yes."

After the Alphas heard the conversation between William and Serena, the pleasant atmosphere instantly switched to serious, and they were ready to escort William away from the recording and broadcasting building.

Hank immediately contacted the Spirit of Fire and asked it to send the Pelican to respond.

And William, who was protected by the group, continued to ask Serena while following the Alphas:

"Selena, what is the specific situation this time that will make you judge a Keter-level anomaly?"

"boss."

Serena replied: "Detailed pictures and video information can only be played on the center console of the Fire Spirit bridge.

But it is certain that the'god' that this cult believes in has a certain ability to influence human thinking, and even causes physical changes to the humans who believe in it.

And these believers show a high degree of organization. Many rich people are also believers of the cult, providing them with generous financial guarantees.

According to the data returned by the agents, the number of followers of the cult 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. Some veterans are responsible for training armed personnel, and some are responsible for arresting ordinary people for absorption and transformation.

The surrounding area is almost completely infiltrated by cults, but there are still a large number of unknowing ordinary people and our hidden agents.

As for the undercover agents inside the cult, they are not affected by the cult’s “gods” for unknown reasons, and still maintain their normal sense and have not leaked any information about the company."

When Serena finished speaking, William had already arrived at the parking lot outside the recording building under Alpha's escort.

William looked at the ten neatly parked SUVs and whispered: "Selena, the town where the cult is located, shouldn't be able to avoid your surveillance."

"Except for the palace where the'god' is located, as long as it is connected to the Internet, I can monitor it." Serena replied.

"Yeah." William nodded slightly.

'It seems... those undercover agents should be the guarantee of loyalty after being assimilated by the system, so they were not influenced by the god and turned rebellious.'

William frowned slightly inwardly.

And taking advantage of the time before the arrival of the Pelican, I wondered where the anomaly came from.

church…

The "LosIlluminados" of "Resident Evil 4"?

It's similar, but the Illuminati use parasites to control the human mind.

And Serena said that the cult possesses a certain "god" that can directly affect people near it.

It does not seem to be such a thing as a parasite.

"Huh—~"

At this time, the unique noise of the hydrogen engine resounded over the parking lot, interrupting William in thought.

I saw a Pelican slowly landing on the open space of the parking lot.

Then Hank immediately let ten Alphas leave in an SUV, while the rest of Alphas followed William and boarded the Pelican to the Fire Spirit, which was parked in low-Earth orbit.

Inside the bridge

The Captain Carter of the Spirit of Fire, and Mike, who is in charge of the ship's combat personnel, are all here, and they and William surround the center console.

And Serena was also imaged on the screen of the center console, explaining the anomaly that the three of them will face this time:

"Everyone, five kilometers west of the town of Fort Dale in Utah, USA, there is a mountain named North Point.

On the top of the mountain is a huge palace built by a cult, and the abnormal phenomenon this time is inside this palace."

While Selena introduced, the screen under her feet was also updating real-time images and data.

The first thing that catches everyone's eyes is a thumbnail of Utah, USA taken by Umbrella Satellite.

The picture focuses on central Utah.

enlarge.

I saw the towns of Fort Dale, Ferron, and Huntington, as well as North Point Mountain on the left side of the picture.

The picture is zoomed in again.

On the top of the North Cape Mountain, on the platform on the edge of the eastern cliff, there is a magnificent palace building.

When the image was taken, there happened to be a group of believers dressed in black who held a kneeling ceremony on the square outside the palace.

Then Serena continued to explain: "According to my statistics, there are three cities and towns affected by the anomaly, involving 120,000 people.

(Schematic diagram of affected area)

Now we are ready to play the video file of the anomaly."

After speaking, Serena played the video returned by the undercover agent.

.

Video information:

Agents used the special shape of the miniature camera to replace the buttons on the collar of the shirt to perform hidden shooting.

Through the dialogue in the video, it was learned that the agents seemed to have assisted the cult in handling the investigation of the police station, and then succeeded in gaining the trust of the cult’s senior officials.

Immediately afterwards, the agent followed several senior cult members into a bus and drove westward from the town of Fort Dale where they were.

As the journey took more than twenty minutes, Serena was fast-forwarded.

Until the vehicle stopped at the hillside of North Point Mountain, the video playback speed returned to normal.

The agent followed the disciples out of the car.

After getting off the car, a large number of armed men are shown in the video.

The uniform khaki uniform, Kevlar helmet, body armor, armed belt and other weapons and equipment are obviously stronger than the National Guard of the United States.

Then an officer dressed up some kind of armed personnel, appeared in the agent's field of vision, and asked them where they came from.

The senior believer who led the agent to the top of the mountain replied, 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 watched the agent closely for a few seconds, then turned and waved to signal all armed personnel to let go.

The agents and followers returned to the car.

The bus continued towards the top of the mountain.

The video is fast forwarded again and returns to normal after a few seconds.

The agent got out of the car and followed the high-ranking followers through the square in front of the palace.

The members of the cult here behaved extremely weird. Some people voluntarily were violently abused by others, and their faces showed an air of enjoyment.

What's more is the public self-comfort. The floor tiles of the square are full of red and white liquids, which are corrupted.

And came to the palace.

Twelve guards with a height of three meters and wearing black cloaks and masks are stationed here.

The agent deliberately pointed the camera at the nearest guard.

Due to the face mask, the guards cannot be seen clearly, but the guards' eyes emit dark red light and the skin tends to decay.

So far, the video taken by the undercover agent confirms that the cult has an abnormal phenomenon.

The agent then walked through the dimly lit corridor only with torches.

In the end, the agents and the high-ranking followers came to the lobby that also illuminated the palace interior with an open flame.

On the high platform at the end of the lobby sat the'god' worshipped by the cult.

I saw it had a roughly human appearance, rotten skin, red eyes like the guards just now, and the bridge of the nose was full of soft tentacles like octopuses.

That'god' gave William watching the video the first impression of Captain Octopus in "Pirates of the Caribbean".
