Chapter 305 Charming Lady
More than a decade ago, Phyllis was still an energetic young detective, so he ignored his superiors' warnings and insisted on investigating a strange case, and ended up encountering those monsters.
However, Phyllis was lucky. His boss guessed that he would take the risk to investigate despite the dissuasion, so he immediately called the people who were responsible for strange cases, who arrived in time to save his life, at the cost of joining this mysterious department.
In fact, he should be thankful because it was not long after the second stage began.
Similar strange incidents have actually always occurred, but they were finally officially recognized decades ago, and it was also at that time that the first phase, that is, the unlimited confidentiality law, was implemented.
The Unlimited Secrecy Act stipulates that except for personnel from special departments, anyone who comes into contact with strange events must be detained or killed on the spot, no matter if you are a civilian or a police officer, as long as you are not one of the top dignitaries or high-ranking officials, you must die.
Because at that time they regarded the weirdness as a shortcut for humans to gain immortality and power, so naturally they had to keep it strictly confidential.
All of this stems from greed, and the strange events themselves are closely related to human beings' endless desires, so how can there be any good results?
As related experiments continued to fail, the losses had become so serious that even the financial backers behind the scenes could not bear it. Coupled with the increasing number of strange incidents, the second stage appeared.
The second stage is to lower the level of confidentiality and allow more financial groups and social elites to join, thereby absorbing large amounts of funds while also sharing risks.
At the same time, civilians involved in strange incidents are still detained or isolated, while those like Phyllis who are both official personnel and have certain potential will be recruited.
In fact, the main reason for the emergence of the second stage is that the top leaders of the Lighthouse Country realized that the strange events were global. It was not that God favored them and bestowed unique treasures on them. In fact, only they, who had the shortest history, did not know about it and kept it hidden as a treasure.
"I'm lucky. I just quit after losing a leg." Phyllis tapped his artificial leg and said with a smile. It was obvious that the special department targeting the weirdness was very dangerous, and it was a blessing to be able to quit alive.
"You're lucky too. In recent years, strange events have become more frequent and we can only suppress the spread of news by controlling the media. So we've entered the third stage, which means that the people involved only need to sign a confidentiality agreement. As for the strange events, they are not acknowledged and they don't exist." Phyllis laughed sarcastically, full of disdain for the person who made the decision. It seemed that he didn't know the idiom of covering one's ears and stealing a bell, otherwise he would have used it.
Williams' brain was working fast, and he grasped several key points, but there were some things Phyllis could say but not others, and he did not force it because it was enough. As a barrister, what he was best at was piecing together some of the truth from fragmented information.
At the same time, Williams keenly realized that Phyllis had ulterior motives in this conversation, because as a former member of the special department and deputy chief of the police station, he talked too much tonight.
"The gun will be delivered after inspection, and I will call you to pick it up then." Phyllis's last sentence let Williams know the answer.
In fact, today's experience was too intense and consumed too much of Williams' energy, so he overlooked one thing. The golden revolver that could kill monsters was engraved with oriental gods, and a Taoist priest from the East just moved into Oak Street today, so the truth is not difficult to guess.
After realizing that these words tonight were more directed at Yan Xu, Williams immediately changed his original idea from viewing him as a rare commodity to gain greater benefits, to striving to become the other party's spokesperson.
His previous thought was that because he had the advantage of information asymmetry, no matter how capable the other party was, he could not change the fact that he was alone overseas. In other words, the other party needed to rely on the abilities and connections of the locals, and Williams could completely use this to gain greater benefits.
But after the existence of the other party was known to the authorities, Williams immediately changed his strategy and regarded the other party as an employer, providing a full range of services to the other party. Although this would cause him to lose a lot of profits, it also reduced a lot of risks and created more opportunities.
Phyllis' words revealed that if she encountered a similar strange incident, she would like to ask the other party for help.
Williams did not agree on his own initiative, but he had the idea of making this happen, because Phyllis did not represent the deputy director, but a certain interest group behind the scenes.
As long as he cooperates, he can gain a lot of benefits and connections, thereby transcending his current class.
Although Williams had the idea of promoting cooperation, he could not say it explicitly. He also had to think about the problem from the other party's perspective and strive for more benefits for the other party. This was the reason and foundation for him to become a barrister.
After completing the change of mindset, Williams left the police station, dealt with some matters of the property management committee, and then came to visit the haunted house with a bottle of red wine.
When Yan Xu learned these things from Williams, he knew that his guess was correct.
There are many strange events in this world, but in order to maintain the surface stability, there must be a targeted force, and that unknown special department obviously has this power.
"The anomaly is temporarily numbered D986. It is in the shape of a revolver, weighs three kilograms, is gold-plated, and is engraved with an oriental god named Guandi. It uses a mm caliber pistol bullet with a loading capacity of five methods. It uses German technology from a hundred years ago. The first test will begin now." A researcher read the information in his hand to the camera, and then loaded the pistol bullets that were urgently made with silver bullets into the reloaded pistol bullets.
The researchers were not stupid enough to use this terrible pistol themselves, but instead fixed it to professional equipment and sent it to a special room.
There was an X-shaped metal frame made of heavy metal in the room. One of the limbs was severely twisted, as strange as a monster. No one knew how it was fixed on the frame to serve as a target.
With the sound of gunshots, the monster was beaten all over with pits and holes. Although it did not die, its broken limbs could not heal for a long time and it had obviously lost the ability to move. This is very rare for a monster with an extremely tenacious vitality and strong regenerative ability.
"Replace the bullets with those melted from the Silver Cross." A supervisor in a black suit gave new orders to the researchers, and then conducted a second round of tests using the reloaded bullets.
The test results this time were very good, and the dying creature was killed with just one shot.
"Very good stuff. Even bullets made of ordinary silver have the ability to kill D-level monsters. Using original silver bullets poses a great threat to C-level monsters. The most important thing is that there are no side effects." The supervisor said with some emotion.
"Don't think of taking this gun. It has an owner. Most importantly, it will affect my next mission." She walked over in a professional suit with big wavy blonde hair that was very interesting, twisting her hips to stand where she was, with her hands naturally clasped in front of her, and a pair of bright lights almost hit the face of the staff member sitting next to her. The staff member was so excited that he couldn't sit still, and instinctively straightened his waist, making the desk bang, and things were scattered all over the floor.
But no one dared to go over, because they all knew this beautiful woman whose charm was so strong that she could distort the consciousness of normal people, the branch's operations director, the charming Ms. Ames.
