From the God of Lies to the Lord of All Worlds

Chapter 82 The Shadow of the Wolf in the Night (710)

Austin Nash's current position is Captain of the First Team of the California Special Affairs Division of the Secret Service, marking his first promotion in five years.

Of course, he would rather not have such a promotion.

Because in the past, the salary was low, there were many trivial matters and it was boring, but at least I didn't have to risk my life every day!

Life is different now. He has achieved the promotion and increased power he had always dreamed of, but the crises he faces have also increased exponentially.

For example, in this investigation, Austin recounted his findings to Gao:

"Sir, we've found the house where the woman named Mona lives!"

"According to the specific details we found out, her child died at the hands of the corrupt bishop Ken Burke, and her family was destroyed because of him. So she found a special sacrificial ritual through this method!"

"A special ritual to sacrifice to Lucifer! By continuously feeding himself with his own blood for ten years, he completed the summoning of this demon lord!"

Austin seemed very troubled. "But just as we were about to record these things, a fully armed mercenary group came and forced us to retreat... When we returned, the sacrificial ritual, the pentagram array, and the sacrificial items on it had all been taken away! Even Mona's body was taken away!"

Hearing this, Gao nodded slightly. "I understand. It's most likely the work of a powerful family here... or perhaps it's even the work of our governor... Our actions here are restricted at every turn!"

Upon hearing this, Austin suddenly looked up. "You mean..."

“Yes, I’ve received my transfer order. Let’s pack our things, we should head back!” Gao said with a smile. “The president has granted us special permission to return and become members of the Federal Special Affairs Bureau! We won’t have to stay here and put up with that old man Ai’s whims anymore!”

During this period, their so-called "California Special Affairs Division" was like a bunch of headless flies.

You can't get the latest information, and even if you do, it will be excluded by various unexpected events.

If you were to ask Newland, the answer would be: "I'm just a governor, I can't decide everything in this region. You are the federal people, aren't you?"

Of course, Gao, who understands political jargon, understood the subtext: "I'm giving you face because this is federal land; if I don't, this is California!"

Recently, Newland even used the charlatan named "Jeron" as a bargaining chip, trading him to the Apache tribe in San Diego in exchange for temporary peace!
The price, of course, is these so-called "federation" members.

Under this trend, Gao, who was squeezed out of his position, got the opportunity to return to New York with the National Guard, which also meant that the two-party struggle, which was mainly about marches, had temporarily come to an end.

Of course, anyone with a discerning eye knows that the falling of this curtain does not mean the end of the struggle, but rather the beginning of a new one.

"Boss, what are we going to do when we get back? We can't just keep going ghost hunting or something, can we?" Austin asked.

Gao waved his hand, "It's not that bad. We're all back in New York. Shouldn't we at least do something simple and rest a bit? The NYPD and National Guard are fully staffed. No matter what, it's not our turn!"

"That's true!" Austin nodded slowly. Who could be unlucky so many times in a row? Impossible, absolutely impossible!

……

"Captain Austin, I'm Detective Chris from the New York City Police Department. I'll be assisting you in this investigation!"

Chris greeted the agent with a smile. He knew the agent was from the "Federal Special Affairs Bureau," a special affairs bureau established by order of the Golden-haired President to handle matters that might be related to supernatural events, such as this one.

But both Chris and Austin knew that this was likely another ineffective response.

After that seemingly extraordinary event, although the Federation continued to block the news as usual, and the prisoners and guards were transferred to other prisons, Jeff's live stream was something that could not be hidden!

That's why many people who surf the internet know about this news.

Even though Trump gave a strict order to block all social media platforms, and even blocked a certain black and yellow website and the dark web, many people still uploaded the evidence to the Chinese internet next door and discussed it there!
With no other option, the golden retriever had to come forward and acknowledge the incident, mainly stating, "Although it was indeed very dangerous, the crisis was resolved under my leadership," which restored his precarious reputation.

With official endorsement, a new trend emerged throughout the city and even the country. Stories of gods, ghosts, and demons became the biggest topic of conversation in New York, and spurred already unsettled cult members to cause even more trouble!

Today they declare that they are responsible for the coming of the devil, tomorrow they will claim that the angels have come to destroy the world, and the day after tomorrow they will even fabricate so-called "miracles" in order to make money from their foolish believers!
This extremely chaotic situation also led the newly formed Special Affairs Bureau and the New York Police Department to respond to calls at high intensity during this period, experiencing a taste of the joy of being a 007 agent.

Austin took the documents Chris handed him and casually asked, "Which cult, gang, or other group is performing their rituals or prayers this time?"

“I don’t know. The report we received seems to be about wolf fur being found in an upscale neighborhood in Queens! Apparently, it’s about a werewolf,” Chris shrugged. “Looks like some people are playing the devil’s reincarnation trick again!”

Austin immediately understood. "Oh... Rich people don't want this kind of trick to affect their lives, so they want us to go? Even with the arrival of the extraordinary, why do we still have to escort these rich people?"

Chris sensed the danger in Austin's words and didn't continue the conversation. He waved his hand and led them into the area filled with villas.

Even in Queens, one of the most chaotic areas in New York, there is still good greenery, well-maintained roads, and excellent public safety. This is the difference between a wealthy area and a slum.

Not long after they led their team into the residential area, a terrifying scream pierced their eardrums, "Ah!"

It was a woman's terrified scream, which horrified them. They exchanged a glance and immediately started running!
Although Austin was just complaining about the rich, they also knew that if something really went wrong in this kind of wealthy community, it would be a real problem!

But just as they were halfway there, Austin suddenly saw something that looked bluish in the shadows by the roadside. "Why is there a light here?" He instinctively raised his flashlight and shone it in that direction.

Then, he saw a hairy monster!

This monster has lantern-sized blue eyes, jet-black fur, and claws that are almost reflective. Most importantly, it has a wolf's head on its head!
"My hair?" Austin exclaimed, quickly drawing his pistol and preparing to fire.

Seeing him draw his gun, the monster didn't hesitate at all. He turned around and leaped up the two-meter-high wall, disappearing into the night.

"Bang!" Austin fired another shot at the top of the wall, causing those running in front of him to turn around abruptly!
"What happened?" Chris asked hurriedly.

“I…I saw a monster with a human-shaped wolf’s head!” Austin gasped. “Hopefully I was just seeing things…”

Without further hesitation, they left two policemen standing there while the rest continued running towards their destination!

……

Watching their retreating figures, Alvin seemed somewhat puzzled. "Your Majesty, wouldn't it be easier to obtain willpower if we directly shaped mythological history or other hidden secrets? Why not just leave these werewolf matters to them to develop on their own?"

"If there are no other plans, doing this would obviously seem redundant, but these werewolves will also be an important part of history!" Bai Yang said cheerfully.
"You mean..." Alvin looked at the seemingly ordinary villa with a look of surprise, "This villa is also part of the first ring? But we haven't done anything yet!"

"Making something, isn't that quick?" Bai Yang said with a smile. "You have to understand, the history of this world isn't about what they know, but about what we give them!"

"The dead cannot speak, but they are better proof of the truth of certain things!"

"What we did before was to create a mythological system, but what we need to do now is to insert the shadows of history into these real mythological systems!"

“Werewolves are creatures of darkness, and so are demons. If we don’t do this, they’re just monsters! Monsters alone cannot form history, but monsters with a history can make history our proof!”

Bai Yang took a step forward and arrived at the villa where the screams had been heard before the others.

Looking at the corpses scattered on the ground, he nodded in satisfaction. Tyne was truly decisive; he killed without hesitation.

There was no survivor in this villa; the entire family died here.

They may die without ever knowing that the reason their entire family was wiped out was simply because, a few years ago, they had taken away a Black person's opportunity to attend college.

“The McDowell family? Ha, what a coincidence!” Bai Yang nodded.
