Do not disturb the evil spirits [Unlimited]

Since the existence of strange creatures was revealed to the world, turmoil caused by the activities of strange creatures has followed one after another in various parts of China.

第一个大型事件发生在崇宁市（纬度坐标东经95°13′至101°22′、北纬27°10′至30°11′之间），由非高位神灵密林之主入侵华夏引起。好在灾异防治局部门干预及时，最后伤亡统计人数未过千人。

The second large-scale event occurred in Chengtang City (latitude coordinates between 107°80′ and 110°12′ east longitude and 37°98′ and 39°75′ north latitude).This incident occurred suddenly, and the number of casualties caused by it was more than a hundred times that of the Chongning incident.After investigation, it was found that the laboratories under the Disaster Research Association conducted illegal research on the abyss ladder wells.The gate of the abyss opened, and the fallen angel descended, and the Prevention and Control Bureau paid a huge price to kill it.After this incident, Chengtang City was almost reduced to ruins, and the air contained a large amount of "dust" from the abyss that could not be discharged. "Abyss Dust" has the special effect of decaying all things, and it is extremely poisonous to ordinary humans.Therefore, Chengtang City was officially designated as a forbidden zone unsuitable for human habitation within a hundred years, numbered "Zero", hence the name "Zero Zone".Afterwards, the Prevention and Control Bureau disbanded the Disaster Research Association and punished the relevant authorities and supervisors.However, the boiling public opinion still brought the official credibility of the Disaster Prevention Bureau to the bottom.

Just when the people began to request the abolition of the current Disaster Prevention Bureau and the reconstruction of related institutions, strange turmoil broke out unprecedented in human history (or unprecedented).Strange creatures suddenly began to move around the world, frequently appearing in news reports and official footage of various countries, spreading like a plague, and getting worse.

Within a year, several small countries in the east and the west collapsed under the infestation of strange creatures.The nationals became refugees and went to other big countries to ask for relief.

At the same time, after half a year of deliberation, the Disaster Prevention and Control Bureau officially announced its reorganization, adding a "Disaster Prevention and Control Department" and a "Supervisory Committee" on the basis of the original executive bureau, separating the three departments of investigation and policy, task execution, and supervision and inspection. Come on, "the division of labor does not separate the family", "cooperate seamlessly, coordinate efficiently, and supervise each other".At the same time, the existing Awakened in the executive bureau will be militarized, and the officials will divide the military area according to the geographical location, and the Awakened will be incorporated into the militarized system for management.In order to distinguish it from ordinary troops, the newly created army is called "Psychic Army".The First Military Region with Yunjing as the center is still the strongest in terms of comprehensive strength, occupying the commanding and coordinating position, but the "Prophet" faction has been transferred from Yunjing to various places, and no longer has as much power to speak as before.

From the outside, this reorganization can be described as calm, but only the people inside the Prevention and Control Bureau know how much change has taken place in it——

First of all, Si Lingge announced that it would merge with the original prevention and control bureau, and all the awakened people under Si Ling's subordinates would be incorporated into the "Psychic Army".Those who are unwilling to participate in the regular army, or those who do not meet certain conditions, will be issued a mercenary qualification certificate in the form of assessment, and participate in tasks in a flexible manner.

In this way, although there is a black history ahead, it is hard to say whether the public has a good impression of the reorganized Prevention and Control Bureau, but the formal formation of the Psionic Legion still gives the public a great sense of security.

At the same time, large-scale catastrophic events in China continued one after another.However, the Prevention and Control Bureau and the awakened ones tried their best to quell the disaster. In the next few years, Huaxia never experienced a tragedy like Chengtang City's destruction of the whole city. After the "No. [-] restricted area", No. [-], No. [-], and No. [-] restricted areas did not appear again.

In contrast to China's orderliness, the situation in countries outside China is more complicated.

Since the frequent activities of strange creatures, mysticism, theology, religion and other fields have received extensive attention and discussion.In particular, those countries with a strong religious atmosphere showed a completely different look in this strange and invading war.

Some "not so firm" believers decisively abandoned their beliefs, feeling that their gods were completely useless in front of weird creatures, and then heard that these weird creatures were commanded by some gods to attack humans, so they felt more and more in harmony with them. Those who are close to gods are not good birds.These people, together with the mainstream people who originally paid attention to scientific theory, became a member of the "humanists".Their purpose is, fuck the evil gods, fuck the weird creatures, this is the survival war that belongs to human beings: either human beings will perish, or those weird creatures will perish!

But apart from the mainstream, there are also some human beings who have adapted well to the age of spiritual energy—they quickly found their favorite gods in this chaotic era, and they regarded themselves as "believers" and "families" and vowed to serve them. The gods fought for dominion over the fertile land inhabited by humans.Among them, the two most powerful sects, one is the "White Star Sect" that originated in Eastern Europe, and the other is the "Reborn Lord" that is widely respected in the cultural circles of South Asia and Southeast Asia.

It is said that the gods enshrined by the "Bai Xing Sect" master the salt of the earth veins, which can turn thousands of miles of red land into salt land.This god does not bring many blessings to the believers, but the divine punishment he sent down is extremely terrible: he can turn any water source in any human settlement into a salt pile, so that human beings can taste the pain of no water source.

As for the church of "Lord of the Dead", the gods enshrined are even more mysterious.It is said that the "Lord of the Dead" can rule all souls in this world.He can call away the living soul, and he can also bring the dead back to life.He ruled the entire underworld, and the underworld is where everyone must go after death.Therefore, this god also has the responsibility of the king of hell: he can judge a person's destination after death: whether he is in deep hell or reborn in bliss, it is all in the mind of this god.

The gods want to rule human beings, either by fear, or by the temptation of interests.You have to let them surrender with all their hearts before you can talk about other things.

Many countries are not only infested by weird creatures, but also infiltrated by these religious organizations. The city is full of troubles, and weird and eye-catching things are happening every day.

For example, when W and S were at war, the disadvantaged country W actually summoned a few mysterious people into the military base and asked them to teach the soldiers black magic and "enchant" the soldiers' weapons with blood, hoping to win the war victory.After being disclosed by the media at this time, netizens in S country aroused a lot of scolding, and even a group of magicians who had never shown up before spoke out on social platforms, saying that they would "a tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye" and "just wait Let's see which country is more cursed."

However, when all this happened, apart from cooperating with the psionic army to fight weird creatures, the Chinese people spent the rest of their time eating melons.

No matter what the White Star Sect or the Lord of the Dead, they were all blocked outside China's borders.

According to the official statement, the government has set up defense lines on China's borders, coastlines and other places that can block the invasion of foreign gods.

The same is true in terms of results.Be it followers of the "White Star Sect" or the "Lord of the Dead", as well as missionary objects related to other sects, it is almost impossible to enter China smoothly.

Thanks to this, in the past few years, the reorganized Prevention and Control Bureau has regained the trust of the public.

……

Five years after the establishment of "Forbidden Zone Zero".

Huaxia Mengguang City, Hall of Gods.

A young man in a gray uniform with a silver badge on his chest is giving an introduction to the newly joined officials.

They passed a long gray corridor.The walls of the corridor are made of extremely tough metal, with countless parallel wavy lines and grooves all over it, piecing together a pattern with complicated details, but overall very concise and regular—it is a moon.Icy tones glow under cool white lighting.

"This is the Hall of Gods." The young man's expression was slightly stern, but his words were calm and gentle, "You are all outstanding individuals selected from the prevention and control departments, executive bureaus, and supervisory committees in various places, with excellent personal qualities and rich personal qualities. This is the reason why the Hall of Gods invites you to work here."

"However, there is one sentence that I must say first."

"The Hall of Gods is the organization with the highest level of secrecy and the most demanding work requirements in the entire prevention and control bureau. It has the decision-making power of many major affairs, as well as the scheduling power of the psionic legion. It is not wrong to say that this is the leader who controls the entire aura society in China. But—if the Hall of Gods is paralyzed, then at least half of China's existing disaster prevention and control system will also be paralyzed."

"..."

The recruits wore silver uniforms similar to those of the youths, and they were silent.

"I'm not alarmist, I just want everyone to understand the responsibilities on your shoulders." The young man continued, "In the hall of the gods, your words and deeds may directly affect the fate of thousands of people."

"As for why the Hall of Gods is called the Hall of Gods—"

"It's very simple. Because in addition to handling some daily affairs, the most important responsibility of the Hall of Gods is to deal with all the things that have something to do with 'gods' in China..."

"The first point, I think everyone has already understood it in advance. The first task of our shrine hall is to ensure that all the 'towns' on the border are safe and sound. Our border defense line in China is made up of these 'towns' that can prevent the aura of foreign gods. They are like the Great Wall of the new era, something we risk our lives to protect.” The young man nodded, paused for a while, and then said, “But the rules of the Hall of Gods have always put people first. We don’t We will exchange the lives of our subordinates for the safety of the "Town Object". We can rebuild the "Town Object" when it is gone. But it takes time for the "Town Object" to be built, debugged, and then put into use. Our duty is to Ensure that Huaxia's border defense line can survive each round of replacement cycle of "Zhenwu"-no loopholes will be created."

"The second point is also the core principle of working and living in the Hall of Gods. This point of attention will be very short, as short as only one sentence, but it is not easy to do—"

"All personnel in the Hall of Gods must obey the instructions of the head of the hall unconditionally."

The expressions of the two newcomers became slightly excited.

"Hey, have you heard? The director of the Hall of Divine Affairs... is said to be the former master of the Si Ling Pavilion!"

"That's right. My brother is from the Spirit Pavilion. I heard from him that more than half of the officials in the Hall of Gods were once the elites of the Spirit Pavilion..."

They exchanged a few words in low voices.

The meaning expressed by the young people who introduced them to them is already very clear.

The so-called "Hall of Divine Affairs" is more like a "mini-cabinet" belonging to the master of Si Ling Pavilion.

Here, the former head of the Si family is the well-deserved king.

But if they remembered correctly, the head of the Si family, Si Qingxuan, hadn't appeared in any large public occasions for five years. There were many rumors about him, but few of them were credible.

...What kind of person is he?
