Chapter 1181: Chapter 981: Several Methods to Summon the Devil_2
Benjamin seemed to see through his thoughts and said, "These soldiers have been at the frontlines for a year, and when they finally returned, more than half had perished. But in reality, the main facilities of the Rebel Army were completely leveled within three days, at least that’s what the intelligence we received indicated."
This is modern warfare.
The influence of an individual is negligible; under the absolute suppression of firepower, the first round of sweeping bombings by the United Government’s military had already severely damaged the Rebel Army, and their task was to root out all the rebels who had luckily escaped into tunnels.
The local government military officers were furious with the rebellion; their demand was not to leave a single survivor.
For the well-equipped soldiers of the United Government, it was an easy task. According to their initial plan, they could complete a comprehensive extermination operation within a week and move on to the next phase.
"There’s no free assistance in this world. The United Government intervened in this internal dispute of the Neutral Country to target some unknown energy signal they detected locally, located within one of the underground facilities where the rebels were hiding."
"What did you find there?"
"Devil."
Even after ten years, Benjamin still feels a sense of lingering fear when he thinks about the days they ventured deep into the underground facility.
"Devil?"
This answer greatly surprised Angle.
He initially thought it would be some powerful Ability User waiting there, causing massive casualties with their bizarre abilities.
"I guess the United Government hasn’t made this part of the information public. Most of the dead soldiers were killed by friendly fire. We also considered the possibility of an unknown Psychic with interference abilities among the rebels, but by the time we found them, they were all already dead. It was a rather bizarre way of dying; their bodies and the spores growing in the underground area had fused into one, almost transforming into plants."
To this day, what exactly those rebels experienced in the facility remains unknown.
But after they set up a base in the facility as per the company’s orders, strange things began to happen.
"Initially, it was unexplainable fatigue and symptoms of mental disorientation; more than one person claimed they couldn’t remember what had happened in the past few hours. The company issued us isolation suits, and this situation continued until the sixth day when suddenly a private went mad, grabbing a gun and killing his fellow soldiers in their sleep."
"...Psycho-spiritual illness of Psychics."
Angle blurted out.
The symptoms Benjamin mentioned were too similar.
Patients with mild symptoms, as he described, often felt fatigue and disorientation. When the condition progresses to the next stage, they would show extreme aggressiveness. The Psychic Research Institution in one report referred to it as a type of "Cyber Mental Illness" that only occurs in Psychics.
"But even so, you should be resentful towards the United Government, not the Psychics."
Angle spoke.
It wasn’t something new for the company to exploit frontline soldiers, especially in "external" wars—either being scapegoated or suffering huge losses on specific battlegrounds due to withheld crucial information by the company.
"I indeed have grievances with the company, but compared to what I am about to do now, personal grudges are insignificant... Angle Safron, you don’t understand what this disease signifies. When people show symptoms, they can no longer be treated as humans; everyone infected becomes a Devil Believer."
Benjamin said, "There’s no possibility of curing this disease; what we are experiencing is a war with the Devil Believers, and neither you, the Investigation Bureau, or the Review Meeting realize the severity of the issue. Their ultimate goal is to awaken a Devil that has been missing for a long time."
"Do you think I’ll believe your ghost stories?"
About the company’s "external war," Angle felt there was a degree of credibility, but with the emergence of terms like "Devil" and "Believer," it created a clear disconnect.
It sounded like religious jargon, but the United Government was a place where science prevailed, without any fertile ground for the Church to take root.
As for the resurrection of a Devil bringing disaster to the world, it was obviously an ungrounded prophecy akin to those of Revelation.
"You will believe soon enough."
Benjamin unexpectedly turned his back to Angle Safron, completely defenseless, and gazing at the distant night sky, said, "The first stage of symptoms usually doesn’t last long. When the condition reaches the second stage, the Devil’s Believers will reveal their true nature."
"Boom—"
The distant booming sound seemed to confirm everything he said.
The sensation of the ground shaking continued to this locale, and after a violent shake, Benjamin eventually showed a satisfied smile as he saw the bustling commercial center’s billboards fall and the grand buildings collapsed under the roar.
But soon, that smile froze on his face.
The deafening booming and the collapsing of the commercial center’s buildings were as he had imagined, but it contradicted the information provided by that mysterious partner.
The detonation of a Psychic is a silent process.
Within approximately 5 seconds, the storm generated by the Psychic fusion would obliterate the entire street block.
