Marvel: Starting with the Glint-Glint Fruit

Checkpoints were set up on the highways, patrol boats were deployed on the lake, and infrared surveillance was set up around the forest to form a complete encirclement.

Details of the disappearance are temporarily kept secret from the public. Only announcements regarding regional environmental risk assessments and the temporary closure of the entire Silent Hill area are being released. Internally, various teams are simultaneously conducting cross-investigations.

In the past, this kind of thing might have attracted attention, but it certainly wouldn't have garnered nationwide attention in the United States.

But things are different now.

After experiencing the Manhattan Demon Time, Terra proactively launched a war against Limbo and released a series of subsequent videos.

It is certain that supernatural phenomena exist on Earth.

And this impression has been deeply ingrained in people's minds.

So, was this Silent Hill incident a supernatural phenomenon?

This immediately attracted the attention of a group of people.

News media.

It's important to understand that although details of the disappearance have been temporarily kept secret from the public, the American media are incredibly pervasive and quickly uncovered some inconsistencies. A large number of reporters have also arrived here in an attempt to uncover the truth.

That's real attention!

It's money.

The journalists even sought out the top leader in charge of the security incident.

Interview with Rodham, Senior Commissioner and Commander-in-Chief of the Maine Emergency Management Agency.

In a clearing at the edge of a dense jungle, a campsite was set up. In the distance, the road leading to Silent Hill was shrouded in mist, appearing normal yet seemingly possessing a mysterious power to devour everything.

Although it was daytime, the sky over the entire town felt unusually cold and gloomy.

The atmosphere was gloomy and damp, with a group of enthusiastic reporters interviewing Rodham outside the camp.

A large number of reporters from different media companies shoved microphones in front of Rodham and shouted.

"Commissioner Rodham, it has been confirmed that six people from out of state have disappeared without warning in Silent Hill. The official statement is only that it is an environmental investigation. Can you release the complete information about the missing persons?"

"Ten years ago, an unexplained plague broke out in the town. Now, people are going missing one after another. The lake area is shrouded in dense fog all year round, and there are constant rumors of passing yachts disappearing. Has the fog been found to contain hallucinogenic or toxic substances?"

"The entire internet is now speculating that this is a supernatural event. Considering the Manhattan and Limbo-related events, do you acknowledge that Silent Hill exhibits anomalies that defy conventional scientific explanation?"

"The complete closure of the highway, lake, and forest area, prohibiting anyone from approaching, does this mean that the search and rescue teams encountered insurmountable danger after entering the town? Is there any progress in the search and rescue operation so far?"

"The six missing persons had no connection to this place. What drove them all to this abandoned town? Has the Department of Homeland Security's environmental testing yielded any preliminary results?"

A large number of special police officers were also maintaining order and protecting Rodham not far away.

Rodham was a middle-aged white man with a buzz cut, a strong physique, stubble, and a tough demeanor.

He calmly answered the questions from a group of reporters.

"This is all the information that can be made public at the moment."

"Six people have been confirmed missing. The case is under investigation. Details cannot be disclosed at this stage. The area lockdown is a standard safety measure to prevent people from accidentally entering unknown and dangerous areas."

"Environmental, water, and air samples are being tested, and no conclusive evidence of any supernatural or toxic substances has been found so far."

"All online speculations have not been confirmed. The search and rescue and investigation work is progressing steadily. We will release updates to the public as soon as there are any new developments. We urge the media not to spread unverified information or incite panic."

After he finished speaking, he was about to turn and leave, but a reporter suddenly shouted.

"Commissioner Rodham, if this is a supernatural phenomenon, is the government capable of resolving it?"

"Are you planning to ask Terra for help?"

These words immediately silenced the chattering reporters, and everyone stared intently at Rodham.

The other special police officers and members of the joint investigation team from the FBI and other agencies looked at each other with varying expressions.

“We haven’t conducted an investigation yet and need to get a clear result. If this is a supernatural phenomenon, I will request Terra’s assistance from the federal government. These things need to be handled by professionals.”

Rodham paused for a moment before speaking.

After saying that, he left surrounded by special police officers.

The group of excited reporters remained behind.

Rodham returned to the camp, where he was joined by the FBI task force director, the Homeland Security investigation team leader, federal disease control experts, and others.

"Commissioner".

"Alright, what's the conclusion you've reached?"

Rodham waved his hand to stop everyone from continuing, getting straight to the point.

“Based on our surveillance footage, those six people never came out after entering Silent Hill, and their behavior was no different from that of normal people.” Kevin, the FBI task force leader, reported while holding a document.

“What does this mean?” Rodham raised an eyebrow.

“We have investigated the backgrounds of these six people from birth to the present, and there is no overlap. This means that these six people have no way of connecting. They have not come into contact with any similar common information points on social media or in their daily lives. It is not an object, an event, or a person.”

The Homeland Security investigation team leader was a Black woman named Amanda.

After explaining, Amanda came to a conclusion: "So, excluding all other factors, there is only one possibility left: this place has somehow influenced these six people, making them come here regardless of everything."

Silence fell over the camp.

Rodham frowned.

He didn't speak for a while.

"So, you suspect the existence of supernatural forces within Silent Hill?"

“Yes, we have no other choice, Commissioner,” Amanda replied immediately.

Rodham hesitated.

"You want me to report this?"

“Commissioner, this is clearly beyond our scope of responsibility. None of my men are willing to go into that hellhole,” FBI Director Kevin said helplessly.

If it were a normal case, they wouldn't hesitate to assemble an investigation team and send a search party into Silent Hill on their own.

However, the results of various investigations now show that Silent Hill is very abnormal.

Given that everyone in the world knows that there are demons and hell in this world, who knows if there are other things in Silent Hill?

Who dares to go in?

Going in would most likely be suicide.

“OK, that’s settled then.” Rodham was convinced, though he was also having a headache.

Let's just pass the problem on to those above.

As long as he doesn't take responsibility, that's fine.

.....

The Silent Hill incident immediately caused a stir across the United States with its extensive media coverage.

This is not just a supernatural phenomenon in the real world.

More importantly, everyone is focused on one question: will Terra send someone to resolve this?

Anything related to Terra is currently generating a great deal of discussion worldwide.

This incident has once again sparked heated discussions on social media.

"Shit, why do all the supernatural events happen in America? Is this damn place cursed?"

"I feel sorry for you guys, man. America has really had a lot of troubles."

"Haha, we've always longed for the beacon of freedom, but now we find that this place is just so-so, and even more dangerous."

"If you really knew, you would know that this place is not as good as it is advertised. It is full of drug addicts, gangs, and damn sexism and racism."

"Yes, I hate this place. I've been bullied a lot while studying here. It's discrimination, but nobody cares."

"Wow, has America finally had its glamorous facade stripped away?"

"Hey guys, aren't you getting off-topic? Shouldn't we be discussing whether the great emperor will send his loyal warriors?"

"Don't even think about it. Before the Terra Empire was established, they were the guardians, but now that they have formed an empire, they need to be responsible for their own people. The United States is not their empire."

"No, the great Emperor is the Emperor of Mankind, and should not be confined to Terra. Yes, I agree that the Emperor should unify the Earth, and I also want to become a Terran."

"Look at the videos and descriptions posted by tourists who travel to Terra; it's simply paradise."

"Paradise is a synonym for a beautiful and fantastical country described in people's minds. Now, what represents beauty is called Terra."

This incident has undoubtedly drawn significant attention from the US government.

However, instead of immediately seeking help from Terra, they decided to resolve the matter internally.

Perhaps the higher-ups are trying to win back public support through this method.

Perhaps they wanted to use Silent Hill to personally contact and study these supernatural events, and obtain some secrets from them.

The federal government then mobilized a large amount of funds and manpower to Silent Hill.

This includes the military.

S.H.I.E.L.D. was among them.

Silent Hill was completely surrounded, and after discussions, the first team to explore Silent Hill was formed.

However, they are not an absolute ace team; rather, they are a relatively ordinary team.

This in-depth mission was a test, hoping to gain some information; frankly, we were just cannon fodder.

But after being fully armed, the team resolutely embarked on the road to Silent Hill.

After being brainwashed, these people believed they were carrying a great mission.

Everyone, including the media reporters, recorded that moment when the twelve-person exploration team, driving two specially built, fully armed Humvees, drove along the road and eventually disappeared into the fog, vanishing completely.

At first, things were fine. Through the signal connection, the camp headquarters was able to clearly receive the footage taken by the exploration team.

A specially formed research team used these instruments to conduct extensive analyses, including of the land, air, fog, and more.

Less than half an hour later, when we got onto a mountain road, the screen went completely black and all signals were lost.

Silence reigned within the camp.

Chapter 329 Officially Advances to Heavenly Father (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

boom!!

In the mirror world, Matthew slowly straightened his legs while sitting cross-legged, his body hovering steadily in mid-air.

The next instant, all the invisible spatial ripples around him suddenly stopped.

Without earth-shattering prelude, without surging winds and thunder, ultimate power often begins with ultimate convergence.

The faint blue electric arcs and diffused photon spots flowing across his body surface all retreated. Air molecules, free electrons, and scattered light within a radius of one kilometer were forcibly plundered and compressed by an invisible force field, all converging towards his right palm.

The precise molecular-level manipulation is brought to its extreme, with every air atom and every strand of electromagnetic energy precisely locked in, without the slightest waste or leakage.

In the palm of his hand, a single, extremely dazzling pure white light slowly emerged.

This was no ordinary light; it was a perfect coupling of the extremely compressed, directional torrent of photons from the Glint-Glint Fruit and the billion-volt high-pressure plasma from the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.

The electromagnetic field is nested and folded in layers, like countless invisible shackles, which tightly imprison the raging lightning plasma. High-density photon beams penetrate the energy core, forming a star-level high-temperature and high-pressure structure from the inside out.

The light spots may seem tiny, but they carry a terrifying power to overturn the landscape.

The space around the light spot began to collapse and distort violently, producing visible spatial distortion ripples. The light from the heaven and earth in the mirror space was forcibly bent and swallowed up, and the area within a hundred meters was plunged into a deathly still shadow with alternating light and dark.
