BXBX NOVEL Chapter 440: vigilance
A middle-aged man in his forties, with neatly combed hair and a high hairline.
Temperament is a bit cold, giving people a feeling of not being close.
The young man is in his twenties, and his appearance is somewhat similar to that of a middle-aged man.
It's just different from the high hairline of middle-aged men, young men also have relatively lush hair that is combed obliquely.
These two are Viscount Cooper Simon Cooper and his son Hubert Cooper.
"How is the current situation in the city? Is there any change in the security bureau?"
Simon Cooper asked.
"Everything is normal, no abnormalities have been noticed."
Hubert Cooper shook his head, then asked.
"Father, what are you worried about?"
"An extraordinary person from the Security Bureau died under the siege of the Shadow of Darkness. The Security Bureau will never let it go. It will inevitably launch a siege against the Shadow of Darkness. This has to be guarded against."
Simon Cooper said in a deep voice.
"Father, don't worry, with the identity of the Viscount family as a cover, coupled with our extreme caution and care, it should be difficult for the Security Bureau to find that this villa is a shadow stronghold."
Hubert Cooper said confidently.
"Don't underestimate the Intelligence Department of the Security Bureau. Last year, Dragon's Evil sacrificed to the city of Messer, which angered the Security Bureau."
"Even though Dragon's Evil has been prepared for a long time and has been careful enough, the strongholds lurking in the Kingdom of Heidelberg have been found and removed one by one."
Simon Cooper warned with a serious expression.
"yes."
Not daring to talk back, Hubert Cooper responded quickly, hesitated, and asked.
"Father, judging from the situation over the years, joining the Shadow of Darkness has done more harm than good to us. Why did you take the risk of exterminating the entire family and resolutely join the Shadow of Darkness?"
"Because of the doomsday prophecy."
Simon Cooper said in a deep voice.
"Doomsday prophecy? Isn't that a lie deliberately fabricated by religious organizations in order to attract believers to join?"
Hubert Cooper wondered.
According to the doomsday prophecy, the gods will come, the world will return to the rule of the gods, and all unbelievers will be cleaned up by the gods.
Only believers can be blessed by the gods, not to be cleaned up, and to continue to live.
Among the followers of the Shadow of Darkness that he had contacted, many people said this sentence. He always thought that this was just a means for religious organizations to attract believers.
"That is not a lie, but a true prophecy!"
Simon Cooper shook his head and said.
"Father, why are you so sure that it is not a lie, but a true prophecy?"
Hubert Cooper asked puzzled.
"I used to be the chief guard in the royal palace in my early years. By chance, I overheard a conversation between His Majesty and a duke."
"I learned that a supernatural person in the Security Bureau who practiced the occult prophecy predicted the end before he died."
Simon Cooper said in a deep voice.
Great prophecy, a secret art with master-level divination as a prerequisite. Mystics who practice this secret art have the ability of divination, and can show various predictive abilities through divination.
As for the doomsday prophecy, if it was just the self-promotion of a religious organization, he would naturally not believe it, but even a Superman from the Security Bureau had predicted the doomsday before his death, so he had no choice but to believe it.
"Not only the extraordinaryness of religious organizations, even the extraordinaryness of the Security Bureau predicted the end before dying..."
Hubert Cooper was shocked, and finally understood why his father took great risks to join the large religious organization Shadow of Darkness.
"Don't look at the fact that religious organizations are suppressed by several major occult organizations and have to hide in the dark, but once the gods come, the situation will be reversed instantly."
"In the short term, joining the Shadow of Darkness will do more harm than good, but in the long run, joining the Shadow of Darkness will do more good than harm."
"Not only can the family be preserved, but it can also bring hundreds of times and thousands of times back to our family."
Said Simon Cooper.
"From the Empire of the Night to the present, for thousands of years, religious organizations have been suppressed by esoteric organizations. Will esoteric organizations have any countermeasures to counter the descending gods?"
Hubert Cooper is still a little worried.
"This is impossible. In front of the gods, even a transcendent is nothing more than an ant, and will be crushed and killed without any resistance."
"Although the secretarial organization may have a hole card, the gods are great existences far above human beings. Facing the gods, any hole cards are useless."
Simon Cooper shook his head and said.
"A Transcendent who can easily destroy a city is scary enough. It's hard to imagine how strong the gods who can easily crush a Transcendent are."
Hubert Cooper was shocked.
"That is a power beyond our imagination as human beings."
Simon Cooper sighed.
"Father, when will the gods come?"
asked Hubert Cooper.
"The gods are existences far above human beings. Even the extraordinary who are the best at divination, it is difficult to accurately grasp the specific arrival time and opportunity of the gods."
Simon Cooper shook his head, and said with a slight frown.
"Although I don't regret taking refuge in the Shadow of Darkness, I feel a faint uneasiness in my heart. Maybe we have been targeted by the Security Bureau."
"Impossible, I sent someone to monitor the Security Bureau, and the Security Bureau didn't make any changes."
"And there is no surveillance around the villa. The Security Bureau should not have discovered that our villa is a stronghold of the shadow of darkness."
Hubert Cooper said confidently.
"Even so, I still feel a little uneasy."
Simon Cooper stood up and walked back and forth in the study.
After a moment, he stopped, made a decision and said.
"Just in case, let's evacuate the Holy City of Us and hide. After this period of time, if nothing happens, we will return to the Holy City of Us."
"Okay, I'll make arrangements now."
Hubert Cooper responded.
Although he felt that his father was worrying too much, he still left the study to make arrangements for the evacuation.
…
In a lounge of the Security Bureau of Us St., Flynn was reading a book borrowed from the Security Bureau to pass the time.
Bang bang bang!
Some hasty knocks on the door suddenly sounded.
"Come in."
After obtaining Feilin's permission, Suzanne Isabel, deputy bureau chief of Us St., walked in quickly and said.
"Elder Sox, the situation has changed."
"What happened?"
Ferrin's face turned serious, and he asked quickly.
"The mystic disguised and lurking in Cooper's villa sent back an urgent message. Not long ago, Simon Cooper and his son quietly left the villa."
Susanna Isabel said seriously.
"Do you suspect that the Shadow of Darkness stronghold is aware of the exposure and is already evacuating?"
Flynn said in a low voice.
"yes."
Susanna Isabel nodded.
"Could you just go out and not plan to escape?"
Ferrin pondered for a moment, then asked.
"I have immediately sent a mystic who is good at tracking to track Simon Cooper and his son. The tracking found that Simon Cooper and his son are moving towards the outside of the city of St. Us."
Suzanne Isabel said.
"The Shadow of Darkness stronghold has already detected a high possibility, it seems that we can only do it in advance."
Hearing this, Felin was basically sure that the Shadow of Darkness stronghold here had already noticed that he was exposed.
The original plan was to wait until after midnight before attacking the Shadow of Darkness stronghold hidden in the Cooper family villa, but the plan could not keep up with the changes, so it had to be done in advance.
This will inevitably lead to the escape of some cultists who were not at the stronghold during the day, but I don’t care about that much.
If you wait any longer, more people will flee.
He looked at Suzanne Isabel and said.
"Go and invite the other four directors."
Susanna Isabel left and returned shortly afterwards, along with four directors, Aubrey Yule, Joyce Ford, Ed Oliver, and Lilith Gallup.
Inform the four of them of the unexpected situation, Flynn said.
“The time to act is early, act now.”
"Elder Sox, I request that I hunt down Simon Cooper and his son."
Joyce Ford said with killing intent in his eyes.
He wants to take action himself to get rid of Simon Cooper and his son who have discredited the nobles.
"Although it is unlikely that Simon Cooper is a cult member of the Twelve Rings, the possibility of a high ring is very high. It is better to let Director Gallup act with you."
Ferrin thought about it and said.
"No, if only three high rings attack the Shadow of Darkness stronghold, it may not be possible to lure out the twelve ring cultists hidden in the Shadow of Darkness stronghold."
"It is enough for me to bring a small group of people. Even if Simon Cooper is Gaohuan, I am sure to keep their father and son."
Joyce Ford shook his head and said.
"Okay, you take a team to hunt down Simon Cooper and his son. Be careful and put safety first. If nothing can be done, you can let them escape first, and then I will hunt them down."
"I possess a very high-level tracking extraordinary ability. Even if they can erase the traces, it is difficult for them to escape my tracking."
Flynn warned.
"I see."
Joyce Ford nodded in response, but his eyes were full of murderous intent, obviously planning to risk his injuries and keep Simon Cooper and his son behind.
Flynn noticed the strong killing intent in Joyce Ford's eyes, and decided to send another director.
But at the Shadow of Darkness stronghold, the three directors are indeed not enough. I can only hope that Joyce Ford will not be too reckless.
Looking at the five bureau chiefs, he said in a serious voice.
"Then act!"
Not long after, Joyce Ford led a group of people and quietly followed Simon Cooper and his son.
The other four bureau chiefs lurk towards the Shadow of Darkness stronghold with the mystics who stayed behind in the security bureau.
Flynn used the invisibility of the hidden necklace to follow the team of the four directors, ready to support at any time.
