The organization I founded has been exposed by the reborn!

"one!"

The moment he uttered the numbers, Lu Feng unleashed a surge of tangible killing intent.

The chilling aura of the soldiers, imbued with a suffocating stench of blood, pressed directly against the burly man's brow.

Faced with the murderous intent so close at hand, and seeing his daughter's innocent smile on the table, the big man's psychological defenses completely collapsed.

"I'll tell you! I'll tell you everything!"

The burly man roared, veins bulging on his forehead, having completely given up resistance: "It's Archbishop John! This time, Archbishop John is leading the team personally, accompanied by two purple-robed bishops, Jonard and Arthur!"

"The Pope used his great prophetic arts to determine that the 'Child of Light,' who carries the legacy of the six-winged angels, is in this city! We infiltrated the underground pipe network to investigate the remnants of the anomalies, hoping to find the Child of Light!"

Inside the monitoring room.

Upon hearing the words "Archbishop John" and "Son of Light," Luo Qingyan's pupils suddenly contracted, and an unprecedented solemnity appeared on her usually cool face.

"Director Luo, do you know this John?" Qin Zhenguo noticed the change in Luo Qingyan's expression.

"Not only do we understand, but it's a huge problem."

Luo Qingyan's tone was cold and stern as memories of her past life surged through her mind.

"In my past life, after the full-blown outbreak of the bizarre events, the Church of Light rose to prominence rapidly!"

"They used faith to brainwash the masses. They not only completely controlled the core of the West, but also eroded several surrounding countries, becoming the undisputed hegemon of the Western world."

Luo Qingyan looked at Qin Zhenguo: "This John is one of the core combat forces at the top of the Vatican's pyramid."

"He awakened an S-rank ability. He wields the suppressive power of the [Holy Light Cross], can utter [Holy Words of Law] to control the laws, and possesses the [Holy Punishment Spear], which has extremely terrifying single-target destructive power."

Upon hearing this, Qin Zhenguo's expression completely changed.

S-rank ability!

Despite the government's best efforts in utilizing national resources, no other S-level combatant has emerged besides Luo Qingyan.

The enemy actually sent an S-rank archbishop to infiltrate Yanjing!

This demonstrates its profound cultural heritage.

Luo Qingyan continued, "Not only that. The Vatican's real aim in mobilizing such a large force is to target that 'Son of Light'."

"Under the command of that mysterious pope, there once existed a terrifying being capable of summoning the phantom of a six-winged angel. In the West, he was revered by countless believers as the 'Son of Light,' a supreme weapon born specifically for slaughter and purification."

"If I'm not mistaken, the awakened one who caused the six-winged angel vision in the sewers today is the Son of Light that the Vatican has been searching for."

"If John succeeds, the West will gain another formidable fighting force."

Qin Zhenguo's breathing became heavy; he immediately realized the seriousness of the situation.

"Interrogate everyone immediately! Draw out the physical characteristics of John and those two bishops, as well as the names and locations of all the spies in Yanjing!" Qin Zhenguo shouted into the walkie-talkie.

The interrogation process suddenly accelerated.

All kinds of intelligence are constantly flowing into the monitoring room.

High-resolution composite portraits of John and the two purple-robed bishops have been printed.

More than 30 liaison points of the Vatican in Beijing have been exposed.

Qin Zhenguo slammed his hand on the table and said decisively, "Pass down the order! Immediately activate the highest level of emergency response. Block all outbound channels from Yanjing, and set up checkpoints at the airport, ports, and highway entrances. Mobilize the entire city's Skynet surveillance resources to conduct facial recognition."

Qin Zhenguo turned to look at Luo Qingyan, his expression solemn and resolute: "Director Luo, John is too powerful; we can only entrust this to you! Please stop him!!"

Luo Qingyan nodded slightly, her clear, cold eyes revealing decisiveness: "Understood. Although S-rank is troublesome, this is Dragon Kingdom territory, and we cannot tolerate outside forces acting recklessly."

With the order given, the entire Paranormal Bureau, like a rapidly meshing war machine, began operating at full speed in the dead of night.

Thousands of people roared out of headquarters and rushed to transportation hubs and secret hideouts throughout the city.

The high command is on high alert, fully prepared for a fierce and arduous battle in order to thwart the Papacy's ambitions.

And they had no idea.

The S-rank Archbishop John, whom they felt like a thorn in their side and were extremely wary of, along with two A-rank Purple-robed Bishops.

Half an hour earlier, it had already been completely annihilated by the "Lord of Dawn" who had never shown himself, with overwhelming force.

……

Just then.

"Knock knock knock".

The explosion-proof door to the monitoring room was being knocked on urgently.

First Squad Leader Xiao Tian'en strode in, his voice urgent: "Director Qin, Director Luo! The sentries outside the Third Ring Road have just sent back a message!"

"Near the open-air parking lot of Anping Private Hospital, the dazzling golden light of a six-winged angel has reappeared! Accompanied by intense battle fluctuations!"

Hearing the key information about "angels".

Qin Zhenguo and Luo Qingyan's expressions simultaneously turned serious, and they abruptly stood up from their seats.

"The Vatican's actions are faster than expected." Qin Zhenguo's face was ashen. "It seems John has already found the Son of Light!"

"We must not let the Vatican take them away!"

Luo Qingyan made a decisive move, her white trench coat billowing in the breeze, her voice carrying an undeniable resolve: "Team Leader Xiao, immediately notify the traffic department to implement full-line green wave traffic control and emergency closures along the Third Ring Road! The entire elite team, get in the car, we're heading there now!"

"clear!"

Less than two minutes.

Inside the underground parking garage of the Paranormal Bureau, the rumbling of a heavy engine tore through the deathly silence.

Two special operations vehicles, reinforced with blast-proof armor, transformed into unbridled steel behemoths, their tires screeching violently against the ground as they sped out of the underground passage.

The piercing sirens of police cars tore through the night sky as the convoy sped into the empty main road of Yanjing.

Inside the carriage, the dark red emergency lights flickered on and off, creating a chilling atmosphere.

The five awakened members of the elite squad sat upright, their extraordinary inner power fully activated.

……

Thirty minutes later.

The screech of brakes broke the silence as two heavily armored armored vehicles came to a steady stop outside the open-air parking lot of Anping Private Hospital.

The car doors slid open to both sides.

Luo Qingyan was the first to step out of the carriage. The cold wind that rushed towards her carried with it a pungent smell of burning and a strong stench of blood.

Upon seeing the scene before them, everyone's faces showed shock.

The once flat and spacious parking lot had been reduced to ruins.

The concrete ground within a radius of 100 meters collapsed inch by inch, and a huge meteorite crater several meters deep with charred edges was smashed into the center.

Several cars overturned by the blast wave were twisted into scrap metal, stone pillars broke, brick walls collapsed, and the ground was covered with deep, spiderweb-like cracks.

"Director Luo, there's a situation here!"

Lu Feng, who had been the first to disperse and search, stopped at the edge of the meteorite crater and responded in a deep voice.

Qin Zhenguo and Luo Qingyan quickly stepped forward.

In the center of the swirling pile of rubble, lay the enormous carcass of a beast, five meters tall and covered in stiff, gray-black fur.

The giant beast's head was shattered by some terrifying force, the edges of the wound charred and brittle, clearly having withstood the most powerful and yang thunderbolt.

On the asphalt road ten meters away from the giant beast's corpse, Peng Tao and Chen Mo also discovered two other extremely strange things.

They were two thin, flat paper dolls, their surfaces painted with withered features and mottled bloodstains. They rustled softly in the night wind among the rubble, exuding a chilling and eerie atmosphere.

"What kind of monster is this? A mutant from the abyss, or some kind of genetically modified creature?" Qin Zhenguo bent down to examine the wolf-shaped giant corpse that exuded a fierce and malevolent aura, his face ashen.

"Take a picture and send it back to the interrogation room at headquarters."

Luo Qingyan instructed, "Have those Vatican prisoners identify these two human skins and see if they recognize the origin of this giant beast."

Zhao Mingyu quickly stepped forward and took photos of the human skin puppet, the giant beast corpse, and the scattered fabric scraps from multiple angles, which were then sent directly back to the interrogation room.

Two minutes later, the phone rang, and the interrogator's hurried and incredulous voice came through:

"After seeing the two paper dolls made of human skin... the prisoners confirmed that they were indeed the two A-rank purple-robed bishops who had accompanied them into the country: Jonard, a member of the Knights Templar, and Arthur from the Inquisition!"

"As for that five-meter-tall wolf-shaped behemoth..."

The interrogator swallowed hard, his tone hesitant: "The detained prisoners say they've never seen anything like this before, and the Vatican has never publicly disclosed any such biological or transformation techniques."

"But... through the tattered fabric torn from the giant beast, the captives recognized it as the holy robes of a cardinal, and coupled with the holy emblem lying nearby, they confirmed... that monster was very likely Archbishop John!"

After hanging up the phone, a deathly silence fell over the room.

Lower-ranking followers, limited by their authority, have no access to the taboo secrets of the Vatican's higher-ups or the transformation of the holy water, and therefore cannot recognize the monster after its transformation.

However, the fragments of robes and the holy insignia left at the scene revealed the answer like irrefutable evidence—

This enormous beast has its head pierced through.

It was none other than John, the leader and commander of the Western Holy See, the Cardinal in S-class power!

At this moment, the entire venue was deathly silent.

Qin Zhenguo gasped.

Li Zhengfeng and the others looked at each other in disbelief.

A cardinal who mastered S-level laws, plus two A-level purple-robed cardinals—this formidable lineup, capable of sweeping away an entire region, died just like that?

Or was he tortured and killed in such a tragic and bizarre way?

"Who killed them?" Qin Zhenguo asked in a deep voice.

"There are only a handful of people in the entire capital of Yanjing who can achieve this."

Luo Qingyan stared at John's charred head wound, her eyes flashing: "In his past life, the Son of Light was taken back to the West by the Holy See to be brainwashed and became a sword in the Pope's hand. But this time, John not only failed to take him away, but also died here."

"I had previously speculated that Shen Lesheng and the Son of Light had already joined Dawn."

Luo Qingyan took a deep breath, her tone resolute: "And to kill two A-rank and one S-rank, besides that unfathomable Lord of Dawn, I can't think of a second person."

Qin Zhenguo expressed his strong agreement.

Even in the later stages of the apocalypse in the previous life, S-class combat power was extremely rare.

Before the full arrival of the bizarre, it is likely that no one but the Lord of Dawn could accomplish this.

"Mingyu, investigate the remaining energy traces at the scene," Luo Qingyan ordered, turning her head.

"clear."

Zhao Mingyu closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, they had transformed into the dark golden [Eye of Insight].

In his eyes, various chaotic energy remnants were intertwined and scattered.

"Director Luo, there are residual high-level energy fluctuations at the scene."

Zhao Mingyu carefully analyzed: "There is an extremely pure golden light aura, as well as chaotic blood energy and dark energy. In the core area, there remains an extremely violent thunder law and some kind of incomprehensible high-dimensional pressure."

Upon hearing the words "purple lightning".

Luo Qingyan became even more convinced of her previous deduction.

Thunder's power.

He is undoubtedly the Lord of Dawn!

Just then, several field officers responsible for conducting internal screenings at the hospital rushed back.

"Director Qin, Director Luo. The hospital's surveillance system was undergoing temporary line maintenance, and the main server was physically offline, so no video recordings were recorded." The agent quickly handed over a document. "However, we have already extracted and sealed the registration list of all personnel entering and leaving the hospital tonight."

Qin Zhenguo frowned slightly, just as he was about to take the list.

Immediately afterwards, the steady sound of tactical boots came from behind.

Li Zhengfeng led a middle-aged man wearing a striped hospital gown and a coat casually draped over his shoulders into the cordon.

"Director Qin, Director Luo, we've made a major breakthrough; we've found a witness."

Li Zhengfeng stepped aside and pointed to the man beside him, whose expression still showed some lingering fear, and reported: "His name is Guo Jianfei. He's hospitalized on the sixteenth floor because of kidney stones. He happened to be standing by the window when the conflict broke out outside and witnessed the whole thing."

Upon hearing this, both Qin Zhenguo and Luo Qingyan perked up.

"Did you see what the person who did it looked like?" Qin Zhenguo asked anxiously.

Guo Jianfei shrank back and shook his head timidly: "Boss, I live on the sixteenth floor. It's too far away, and it's dark. I can't see your face at all. I can only see your general outline and shadows."

"Tell me everything you saw, exactly as it happened, without omitting any details," Luo Qingyan said in a cold voice.

Guo Jianfei swallowed hard and began to recall.

"At first, it was that golden light being with six wings who appeared. But it seemed to be suppressed by a foreigner with a cane."

"It looked like that foreigner was about to arrest the person."

At this point, Guo Jianfei's breathing became rapid, and his eyes gleamed with undisguised excitement:

Suddenly! A black, fiery meteor fell from the sky! It smashed into the ground, creating a huge crater!

"After the firelight dissipated, a person emerged... a person with black wings! Those wings were enormous, and they were entirely made of black fire!"

"He simply snapped his fingers, and a pair of bone scissors appeared in mid-air. The shadows of the two foreigners were cut off, instantly transforming into the two pieces of paper skin on the ground!"

Listening to Guo Jianfei's almost absurd description.

Luo Qingyan and Qin Zhenguo exchanged a glance, their hearts filled with turbulent emotions.

It has black wings on its back and floats in the night sky.

With just a casual snap of his fingers, he conjured up two A-rank purple-robed bishops, skinning them alive and turning them into paper.

This method of ignoring everything and forcibly erasing everything was simply beyond their comprehension.
