I sparked a mythological frenzy in Marvel.

Chapter 38 You cannot enter!

What should we do if a cult is so knowledgeable about the law?

Wait online, hurry!

Coulson was experiencing a mix of emotions.

He had anticipated many scenarios, whether it was a direct confrontation or the cult being forced to cooperate with the investigation due to the power of the state apparatus behind him, but he had never seen anything like this before.

Instead of summoning abominable monsters to kill him, the leader of a cult solemnly asked him for a search warrant.

This world is too magical, making it hard for him to distinguish what is real.

"We did not apply for a search warrant."

Coulson had no choice but to tell the truth: he really hadn't forged the search warrant; it wasn't that he forgot, but that he didn't think it was necessary.

Logically speaking, a cult, especially one that creates monsters, is unlikely to be so knowledgeable about the Fa, let alone preach the Fa so solemnly.

"Since you don't have a search warrant, I'm sorry, you can't enter."

Although Casillas was still smiling, his face was infuriating to Coulson.

Now, he's the one in a difficult position.

Although he is officially an FBI agent, he cannot openly enter and search without a warrant.

Because this is non-compliant, if there is a search warrant and the problem is found through proper methods.

So even if something terrible is discovered, you can have your boss help you withstand the pressure.

However, if he uses irregular methods to forcibly investigate, then the higher-ups will not take the blame for him; it will all be his own doing.

So, even at the risk of being dismissed or even imprisoned, they actually went to investigate.

So even if they don't take action themselves, they can simply let the police handle it.

Judging from the magnificence of the church, it's clear that the other party is not short of money at all, especially since they have received ample benefits and have a legitimate reason for doing so.

Then the police would do everything in their power to stop him, and he would have no way to fight back. Otherwise, even if he were beaten to death, he would deserve it.

"Gentlemen, since you do not have a search warrant and are not faithful followers of the Great Father, then the Church of Dagon does not welcome you. Please go back to where you came from."

Casillas issued an order to leave, and without a valid reason, Coulson had no choice but to retreat.

As he was about to leave, Hawkeye suddenly asked, "Are you a registered and legal religion? Do you have all the necessary documentation?"

These words immediately caught Coulson's eye.

Although he did not have the right to enter the church to search it, as an FBI agent, he had the right to have people show their identification to prove that they were acting legally.

It's important to know that although cults are rampant in America, even Satanism requires registration; otherwise, how would it be convenient to pay taxes?

If they don't have proper identification, then sorry, this is a typical cult and will be severely punished!

"Of course. As a legitimate church, our procedures are naturally complete, and you are free to check them."

The Dagon Cult even has complete documentation? This really stumped Coulson.

With a glance from Casillas, one of his priests immediately ran to retrieve the identification documents for Coulson and Hawkeye to examine.

"Two FBI agents, how about that? Does this prove we're a law-abiding, legitimate religion?"

With a smile that was both provocative and confident, Casillas gently pushed the documents in his hand toward Coulson and Hawkeye. This unexpectedly legitimate proof made the atmosphere on the scene even more subtle and tense.

Coulson carefully examined the documents; each one appeared so professional and flawless, from the church's registration documents to tax registration and permits for religious activities—everything was complete.

"It's really complete."

Coulson said in a deep voice, his tone filled with both resentment and helplessness.

He realized that with these credentials alone, they could not take any direct action against the Dagon Church.

"It seems you really do know how to use the rules."

Hawkeye interjected coldly from the side, saying that this cult was too cunning and that they had indeed been defeated this time.

"Our Dagon Church has always upheld the principles of peace and doctrine, and operates within the framework of the law. You are probably misleading us. We welcome any form of supervision and investigation, as long as it is legal and impartial."

Casillas smiled slightly, spread his hands, and looked like a highly respected clergyman.

And indeed, his appearance drew cheers from those around him.

Coulson put away his identification, his sharp gaze sweeping over Casillas and his men as he secretly plotted.

Although this operation failed to expose the true nature of the Dagon Church as desired, it was not without its gains.

At least, they have now confirmed the cult's cunning and caution, providing valuable intelligence for future operations.

This was something that could be presented to the bureau chief; at least, the real culprit behind that "monster" had been found.

At least, Coulson's salary shouldn't be deducted.

"The FBI has always respected and protected law-abiding religious groups. Since the Dagon Church claims to be a legal religious group, it should accept public scrutiny to ensure that its actions comply with laws and regulations. We hope that you will continue to uphold the principles of peace and doctrine and operate within the scope permitted by law."

"Of course, Agent Coulson, our Dagon Church has always respected and abided by the law. We welcome any form of legal oversight and investigation, as it helps us better serve the community and spread our doctrines."

Casillas responded, his smile still gentle, but a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes.

With things already said to this extent, Coulson and Hawkeye naturally couldn't do anything more.

They couldn't go inside the church; if they wanted to go in and take a look, they would need to apply for a search warrant.

The surrounding people were clearly brainwashed by the Dagon Church, and it was virtually impossible to get any information from them.

Therefore, the two had no choice but to get back into the car and report the matter to the bureau chief.

Watching the two drive out of sight, Evans walked to Casillas' side and whispered, "High Priest, they've left this time, but next time, they'll definitely apply for a search warrant. Then, it won't be so easy to deal with them."

Casillas tilted his head slightly, saying nonchalantly, "It doesn't matter. Even if they get a search warrant next time, it's fine. I've prepared everything. Heaven will eventually come!"
