The End of the World: Chaos

However, even so, Ludan still frowned and showed no worry.

He really found it hard to believe that this place was safe.

He believed that no organization would launch an attack on a flawless place without reason.

"We have thoroughly investigated the site of the attack, carefully examined the documents, especially the testimonies of the survivors, and there is nothing unusual!"

"Is '170' deeply hidden, or is there really no hidden disease?"

"I'm absolutely fine!" Pushkin responded with a wry smile.

We must ensure that this is correct, otherwise it will cause trouble.

Ludan obviously still had doubts.

Pushkin had planned ahead of time and placed a thick stack of files on the table in front of Lu Dan, which were full of operating conditions and property details of various places over the years, as well as S.H.I.E.L.D.'s archival materials on the matter.

This was not something Pushkin had prepared in advance, but was the result of the Eight-Faced Buddha's careful arrangements.

The eight-faced Buddha in Whitehall has been extremely well hidden for many years, treating these cover industries as real operations and rarely interfering with them.

SHIELD also failed to find the flaw.

After reading these materials, especially the intelligence from S.H.I.E.L.D., even if Ludan is unwilling to believe it, he has to believe it now!

At this point, he's not doubtful enough to be unable to trust S.H.I.E.L.D.

However, he still had questions, why did the mysterious organization attack these places?

"According to our deduction, perhaps the other party wanted to seize their property. The technological industry accounts for as much as 83% of the attacked area, especially several companies that have made great achievements in the biological field!"

Ludan thought for a moment and decided that it was not impossible to use force based on the achievements of science and technology.

"Is there any other solution?" Ludan continued to ask without any change in expression.

"The think tank speculates that the other party may have some connection with this place. This is not an ordinary terrorist attack, but a purge of traitors!"

As Pushkin spoke, his eyes flickered slightly behind his lenses.

"You just said there was nothing wrong, why are you doubting now?" Ludan asked doubtfully.

Hiding behind the lenses, he did not notice Pushkin's evasion, only that it was inconsistent.

"Director, you feel that something is different here, and others feel the same way, so they make this guess!"

This was not Pushkin's invention, but a speculation he had to report.

As it is said, it is some people's speculation that takes a different approach.

"What do you think?" Ludan pondered for a moment and suddenly asked Pushkin.

"Logically, I am more inclined to the third guess. After all, there is no trace of any connection here."

"What's the third one?" Ludan asked before he finished listening.

"They may have blocked someone's path, or done something that angered the intelligence community..."

"Intelligence organization?" Ludan grasped the key point.

"Although this place is no different, we have found that the top leaders in these places have special connections with the US intelligence organizations!" Pushkin dropped the bombshell news.

This is normal interaction.

Whitehall is indeed resourceful, having established trading relationships with several intelligence agencies in the United States.

Therefore, Pushkin intentionally guided Ludan to have different associations. As a patient in the late stage of conspiracy theorists, Ludan could naturally associate more with this clue.

In fact, Ludan doesn’t believe the first guess, because he is a late-stage conspiracy theorist and there is no cure...

The second and third ones are different and more to his taste.

Especially the third one, which has no empirical evidence, since the second one has almost 'absolute' evidence that it is not true. The third one has no clues at all, which makes people more imaginative.

"Actually, there is one more point..." Seeing that Ludan was more inclined to the third option, Pushkin said again.

"Is there a fourth hypothesis?"

"No, it's about the situation of the organization's personnel."

"What's the matter?"

"There are too many people. Thousands of people showed up without warning. It's quite..."

Pushkin did not finish his words, but they made Ludan think more about them.

What secret organization could quietly mobilize thousands of people? S.H.I.E.L.D.?

SHIELD was right before his eyes. Even in the secret base, he did not relax his control. There was no sign of mobilizing personnel, and everything was operating as normal.

So, who can mobilize thousands of people to launch an attack in the United States?

Who else could it be except the U.S. domestic intelligence organizations?

The U.S. military?

Everyone knows that the military must have issued an order to mobilize such a large number of people.

Only an intelligence organization that is also lurking in the dark, with no way for the outside world to know how many agents it has, can act in this way.

Only in this way can they find nothing, those people are like ghosts.

Thinking in this way, the mystery of the powerful equipment can also be solved.

Thinking of this, Pushkin took his leave, and Ludan turned on the computer and, through a complex and difficult-to-crack verification method, checked a log of recent large-scale operations of U.S. domestic intelligence organizations.

Sure enough, he found recent records of personnel transfers by several intelligence agencies.

In an instant, Ludan suddenly understood and sneered:

Haha, you still want an explanation from me? This is clearly the thief crying "stop thief"!

Ludan was well aware of this, and immediately several ideas came to his mind.

However, these thoughts are like floating clouds, fleeting.

Firstly, he had no solid evidence in his hands, and it was futile to ask for benefits without any basis.

They are not an ordinary force but an intelligence network. Fame is as light as a feather to them.

Unless we have overwhelming evidence and the power to deter, nothing can be done.

For example, he himself had committed many evil deeds, enough to cause someone to be blackmailed to death, but did he really do that? No!

Not only that, but he became more and more successful. SHIELD is growing stronger and stronger. Who can do anything to him?

Besides, he is no longer a child!

Everyone has secrets that are difficult to tell. You and I expose each other's scars. Who has more leverage over the other? We need to exercise self-control in this matter.

Therefore, Ludan decided to make a quick decision and close the case as soon as possible, leaving the case pending for the time being.

Ruth and others had foreseen this move and took action at the right time.

It was quite difficult for them to intervene at a time when the U.S. domestic intelligence agencies were carrying out large-scale operations.

Fortunately, the efforts now paid off, the most difficult problem has been solved, and what remains is the affairs of the other branches of the Eight-Faced Buddha.

Of course, their response was also very appropriate.

Upon hearing that Whitehall's men wanted to reveal the truth, they verbally expressed their support, offering to provide equipment and funding, and even threatening to bring their own food and supplies to help.

Whitehall's men claim that they are the ones who should avenge their boss, and all they need is some funding and equipment.

Without taking any action, they have reaped a great deal.

And then...there was no further news!

These people did not take action immediately, but chose to lie dormant temporarily. According to them, the Eight-Faced Buddha in SHIELD involved too many people and needed to be ensured to be foolproof.

Although the other eight-faced Buddhas suspected that they were being plotted against, they thought his words made sense, so they chose to wait and see.

The situation was temporarily calmed down, but everyone knew that the other eight-faced Buddhas were watching covetously, waiting for both sides to suffer losses so that they could reap the benefits.

It's not that they don't want to take action at this moment, but they know that this is not a good opportunity.

Whitehall was captured and died!

However, his subordinates were unexpectedly united, and because their strength was not greatly damaged, they were still able to support their hegemony.

The Eight-Faced Buddha in SHIELD is slightly less powerful, but relying on SHIELD and the World Security Council, if others act rashly, how can they continue to hide? Aren't they afraid of being wanted worldwide?

They are not people who are easy to mess with!

And they worry about how the two are related.

If faced with a crisis of destruction, no one knows what choice the other party will make.

The Eight-Faced Buddha of SHIELD killed Whitehall? The two are unrelated? How naive?

Enemies and friends are not eternal, only interests are lasting. You must understand this.

The same principle applies to those who have vested interests and ignore those who benefited in the past.

If pushed to the limit, the two will inevitably be connected.

Dealing with them individually may be feasible, but there is a saying in the West that if one loses the other, the other will be in trouble.

Due to the interweaving of various factors, the dark world of the Eight-Faced Buddha has returned to an eerie tranquility. No one is acting rashly, and even the slightest movement is feared to trigger an unexpected event.

Yang Yi also benefited from this. Although he lost some of his properties that were exposed due to the capture of Whitehall, he controlled Whitehall's subordinates and forces, and also received assistance from other Eight-Faced Buddhas.

Now, Yang Yi's Eight-Faced Buddha is even more powerful.

In terms of power, he is slightly inferior to the leading baron, but better than the rest, whether it is the Lady of the Eight-Faced Buddha or those special Eight-Faced Buddhas who are eager to welcome back the gods.

Unknowingly, Yang Yi has become an important figure.

Of course, there are more things to worry about.

Recently, Ruth needed to rest due to surgery, and the heavy responsibility fell on Yang Yi's shoulders again, and he could not have a moment of rest.

At this moment, Yang Yi deeply understood why the wiser the rulers in ancient times were, the earlier they died!

Except for a few long-lived ones, the rest died of overwork. The energy loss was too great to be compensated.

Yang Yi was tired of this kind of life.

Fortunately, Ruth finally recovered and was able to take over the affairs, and Yang Yi once again took over semi-hands-over management.

However, Yang Yi began to think about whether to lighten Ruth's burden. If even he couldn't bear it, how could Ruth bear it?

Yang Yi set his sights on Xika.

Finding Xika, he temporarily suspended her studies.

"Xika, are you interested in participating in something..." Yang Yi asked with a smile.

"No!" Xika interrupted directly.

"I'm not done yet?"

"No need to say more, looking at your malicious smile, I know it is definitely not a good thing!"

Yang Yi: “…”

How can I have bad intentions? Why do you say I have bad intentions? I just want to give you something to do, why not?

Look at Ruth, isn't she having a lot of fun too?

Yang Yi twitched the corner of his mouth and said patiently: "Xika, you worry too much. What I want to say is good news, great news!"

"Can anything good happen to you? Why shouldn't I believe it?" Xika looked at Yang Yi with disdain.

After being with Yang Yi for so long, has anything good happened?

It's fine that she has to be fed dog food every day, but she has to take the college entrance examination for no apparent reason. Does she have the ability to do that? The most important thing is that she has to get a double degree, so how can she have time to play?

Of course, Yang Yi was doing this for her own good. She understood that and was not naive.

But what about other things? Especially that weird watch on her wrist.

There were marks on the wrists.

Xika was obviously dissatisfied.

Yang Yi had no choice but to find another way.
