Night of Despair-Chapter 416: Action 414 Part 2

"To achieve our goal, some measures are necessary. If someone dares to obstruct me and delay our important affairs, I have dealt with them slightly." Ku Chan said indifferently.

"How’s the situation with the military?" Yu Hong didn’t ask further.

"It’s almost done, but only the nearby army. I’ve demonstrated a bit of magic, and the person in charge there has stopped resisting and instead warmly welcomes us in. I estimate it won’t be long before the official authorities will come to contact us." Ku Chan said.

"The National Security Bureau has already arrived." Yu Hong nodded. He glanced to the side, his gaze falling on a group of men in black suits entering the neighborhood not far away, approaching them.

The people here appear similar to Caucasians, with occasional blacks and Asians, but it seems that Caucasians are the mainstream.

The men in black suits approaching now were exactly that. There were eight of them in total, and walking at the forefront was a handsome middle-aged old man with salt-and-pepper hair and a meticulously groomed beard and hair.

When the other party approached, he smiled and extended his hand towards Yu Hong, indicating a handshake.

"Mr. Yu, I am very sorry for this impromptu visit. I am the Director of the Special Personnel Registration Office at the National Security Bureau, Child Roman."

"So it’s Director Roman. What can I do for you?" Yu Hong took the conversation naturally, as if he didn’t know the purpose of the other party’s visit.

"I’m here regarding the recent expansion of your organization, the Spirit Alliance, and the unauthorized contact with the Mana garrison..." Roman didn’t finish his sentence before he was interrupted.

"Director Roman, I think you should’ve considered how to approach us before coming here." Yu Hong’s expression turned from mild to cold. "Such words only exacerbate conflicts and are meaningless."

"Exacerbate conflicts? Mr. Yu, I want to know on what basis do you people have the audacity to speak such ’flowery language’ to us, who represent the national departments. Suddenly coming to Mana, what exactly are your objectives?" Roman’s expression became cold as he spoke.

He had received intelligence a few days ago that someone had unauthorized contact with the local garrison commander and managed to get along well with the military, which was quite baffling.

Later, after careful compilation, he quickly learned of a mysterious organization named Spirit Alliance, which was rapidly recruiting Mana’s local elites.

The Spirit Alliance initially only had four members, with Yu Hong here as the leader. Yet in just a few days, they moved as if unobstructed, easily entering various highly guarded areas and contacting anyone they wished.

And the various people who had contact with them all strangely had a very good impression of them.

This odd situation quickly caught the attention of the National Security Bureau.

So Roman put aside all other matters and came here personally to investigate the situation with the Spirit Alliance.

"In just four days, the Spirit Alliance’s actions have impacted all levels of society in Mana. Two city council members, directors of the largest walrus corporation, the garrison commander, gang leaders, and principals of the two best private schools. Look at the people you’ve contacted, spanning various fields, including many sensitive layers."

He paused for a moment, his eyes sharp.

"Mr. Yu, you’d better be clear about what you are doing. Jeopardizing national security is not an empty threat. My personal visit here is your final warning; if you don’t restrain yourselves this time, the consequences..."

"Consequences?" Yu Hong laughed.

"Director Roman, have you ever encountered unexplainable situations in your life?" He continued.

"…I don’t care why you’ve come, but your actions are too big." Roman said gravely, pointing to some people who were currently standing quietly outside the buildings in the neighborhood.

"Also, I really want to know how you managed to drag people out of their homes in the cold night and bring them here from so far away just to stand outside your house for a short while?"

"So you’re saying, you brought people here this late, standing in front of me, just to threaten me?" Yu Hong countered.

"You can understand it that way." Roman’s gaze was icy, with an authoritative air pressing against the opposite side.

Hiss!

In an instant, Ku Chan behind Yu Hong suddenly struck out with a punch.

There was a flash of red light.

Boom!!

A surge of searing dark red flames burst out from Ku Chan’s fist on the spot, engulfing Roman and his group behind him.

In the night, this stream of flaming pillars, seven to eight meters in diameter, left a cylindrical charred mark on the ground.

After the flames, several charred bodies lay twisted on the ground.

But Yu Hong was slightly surprised as he looked toward the figure at the side of the flames.

That person was none other than Director Roman, who should have been engulfed and killed by the flames!

At this moment, Roman’s face was red, and his face still bore the scars of being scorched by the flames.

His mind was still muddled, unable to understand what had just happened.

How can a man punch out flames?!

Incomprehensible!

"Body double?" Yu Hong raised his eyebrow.

Snap.

Suddenly, Qing Huang behind him snapped his fingers.

A ripple of invisible Dao Breath spread out.

Roman shivered, his eyes losing focus.

But the next second, he quickly broke free from the stupor, unaffected, his gaze instantly becoming highly vigilant.

He drew his gun with one hand, aiming at Yu Hong and the other immediately, and shouted sharply,

"What did you do!?"

"Don’t be nervous..." Yu Hong looked towards Qing Huang, asking with his eyes if it was a problem with the magic.

"It’s not my issue; it’s him... he’s special." Qing Huang shook his head.

Yu Hong nodded. "Then let’s try again, if it really doesn’t work, then don’t bother with hypnosis."

"I understand." Qing Huang said respectfully.

Spirit Alliance had just arrived at this location and was in the midst of extensive construction and expansion. Therefore, everything had to be suppressed quickly, leaving no hidden dangers.

Hence, watching Roman about to pull the trigger, he activated Dao Breath once more.

A faint red light, invisible to ordinary people, flashed and accurately hit the pistol in the other’s hand.

Roman’s hand trembled, and his gun was knocked away; he immediately rolled to the side, trying to evade.

But when he got up, he found that Qing Huang was still standing in front of him, and he was still in his original position. Neither of them had moved in the slightest.

His tumbling just now was as if he had never made that movement at all.

"This...!!!" Sweat appeared on his forehead. If the flames just now could be barely explained by props, then this situation made him immediately think of evil spirits.

Such a bizarre power could only be the work of an evil spirit.

As the director of the National Security Bureau, he naturally had the privileges and access to understand the situation outside.

But if it were an evil spirit, it wouldn’t have any conversation with him at all! There’s no record of evil spirits having normal communication.

"Strange, I actually can’t hypnotize you. I can only interfere." Qing Huang’s somewhat astonished voice came from beside him.

"What are you, exactly!? What are you trying to achieve!?" Roman’s face was beaded with sweat.

He now deeply regretted not calling the people from the Church over. No... he should even have called the special operations team to capture all these people first!

"Come on, let’s go here and have a good talk." Qing Huang grabbed him effortlessly like a doll and easily took him into a conference room inside the small building, slamming the door shut.

While Yu Hong paid no more attention to these events and walked away alone, leaving the residential area, his immense Spiritual Fluctuation silently spread out, covering hundreds of meters around him.

Walking on the street, there were only some small diners and bakeries on the roadside.

He strolled leisurely at an unhurried pace, enjoying the long-lost peace and tranquility here.

Wait until the wasteland he had purchased in the suburbs was secured, that was when he would start to move a large number of Spirit Alliance members over.

This peace, as evidenced by the Red Value concentration, would not last long here.

Before long, Qing Huang caught up to him again.

"It’s strange, I can’t completely hypnotize that Roman."

"Is there something special about him?" Yu Hong asked.

"Based on our intelligence gathering in this area, I suspect that he might be a comparatively formidable psychic individual. And the psychic individuals here seem not to be simply more perceptive." Qing Huang answered. "Furthermore, I’ve learned from him that none here, including the Church, have any means to counter disasters."

"Are they all blood attractions?" Yu Hong sighed. "Then let’s not concern ourselves with them for now. Once Mana is ready, we can further spread out to the surrounding areas."

"The Fista Federation consists of thirteen large provinces, each with about twenty-something cities. The most populous are the capitals of these provinces. I’ve already sent people to set up outposts in advance." Qing Huang said.

"One city a week, no problem, right?" Yu Hong asked.

"It’s possible, but it’s still too slow. We need a faster method. What do you think about live streaming, Alliance Hierarch?"

"The capital pushers are ready?"

"Yes, we’ve persuaded three wealthy businessmen to commit significant funds for traffic boosting." Ku Chan interjected in response.

"Then use the Spirit Light Secret Skill as the core of our propaganda, showing the functions of the Spirit Light Secret Skill without exaggerating too much, to begin with. Be progressive." Yu Hong instructed.

"I understand." Both of them responded.

After all, normal people wouldn’t immediately believe it’s real when they see someone in a video with a silver turtle shell get hit by a car and survive; they’d think it’s just computer effects.

"Within a month, I want the number of Spirit Light users to reach thirty million." Yu Hong said.

"This... I’ll do my best."

Hu.

Yu Hong didn’t speak again, just looked up ahead.

Fista National Security Bureau.

Within the brightly lit underground base.

Director Rania Visson looked at Roman, who had returned to report, with an ugly expression on his face. He had never expected that Roman would have all his weapons confiscated and his subordinates killed so quickly, then be taken away for more than ten hours of ideological education.

Even at the end, Roman was delivered by those who claimed to be from the Spirit Alliance.

"The current situation is headache-inducing enough... you bunch of incompetents..."

He pulled over the mobile blackboard on his right and pointed on it with chalk.

"Currently, the west side is the increasingly tense situation in Tangola Forest. To the north is the ticking time bomb that is Huailin Mental Hospital, and we just received a call from the Church, saying that their Father Tam also died inside."

He paused, looking at the group of National Security Bureau officers sitting below.

"The range of Huailin has visibly expanded again. Around its coverage, it seems we need to further move out for a quarantine of three kilometers."

"There’s still no progress with the Spirit Exploring Association, and now there’s this Spirit Alliance."

"We don’t have much time left, Roman, now’s not the time to play house." Rania said grimly. "Cases like Huailin - there are four known to the world, and observations show all four are expanding their coverage. If we can’t think of countermeasures, we’ll have to apply to relocate the surrounding cities entirely."
