The sudden disaster, which lasted for more than half an hour, came to an end, with a total of two waves of rescue police arriving.
Because the first wave of police arrived and only had time to call for reinforcements, they didn't have time to react before the magicians, led by the so-called legendary "Merlin," started fighting with the "fallen angels" in the sky. The poor signal was one factor, but the danger of making phone calls was another.
Before things calmed down, they had no energy left to contact their superiors again, except to protect themselves.
The military received the order only after reinforcements arrived, and before they could intervene, the disaster was over.
Then it was MI6's turn to respond.
The military and police have been deployed to establish a cordon around the disaster area, and gag orders have been issued to every passenger, police officer, doctor, and other person who witnessed the incident, prohibiting any information from being leaked.
All recording devices, such as mobile phones, must be handed in and will be returned in two days.
An hour after the incident, several helicopters appeared over the area, and observers on board spotted several journalists limping away.
"Headquarters, headquarters, stranded personnel have been found on the edge of the core area, suspected to be train passengers."
“Bring them out.”
"receive!"
A helicopter immediately descended, and several television crew members, overjoyed, scrambled toward the landing site.
Fifteen minutes later, at a tent area on the outskirts.
The cameraman and the female reporter were screaming hysterically.
"Why?! Give us back the camera!!! You bunch of robbers!!!"
"Damn it!!! Waaaaah~~~~ Give it back to us... We risked our lives to get this!!! That was my prime-time host spot..."
"You beast!! I'm a taxpayer!! I'm a taxpayer, we have the right to freedom of the press!!!"
Although these people had just experienced an unimaginable catastrophe and had exhausted their mental and physical strength to the limit, the power they unleashed at this moment almost made it impossible for seven or eight soldiers to hold them down.
Those unaware of the situation witnessed his ferocious madness and were convinced that he had encountered his father's killer.
"Hiss~~"
The head of MI6 loosened his tie and then touched his neck, which the female reporter had just gripped tightly.
Waves of stinging sensations came over me.
There are now several very clear claw marks there, and blood has seeped out.
"Madam and gentlemen, I reiterate that this is a highly classified matter involving national security, and we have the right to confiscate any materials that may lead to information leaks."
"As for your losses, we will have relevant personnel responsible for compensation. Okay, take them away and let the medical staff give them a sedative injection."
"Yes, sir!"
Eight burly soldiers, two at a time, tightly restrained the journalists and dragged them out of the tent.
"Damn it!!! You scum from MI6, I'll pay your mother's compensation!!"
"I curse you! I curse you!!!"
Ah~~~
The "Ah" came from a soldier. The female reporter bit his arm hard like a mother dog protecting her cubs, and blood immediately seeped out.
...
The person in charge finally breathed a sigh of relief as the sound gradually faded into the distance.
"Are all these reporters crazy...?"
Nearby, several devices were already connected, and an MI6 agent was playing footage he had just stolen from the cameraman on a mobile workstation.
"Sir... I think I can understand their madness now..."
Upon hearing the agent's words of reflection, everyone present crowded around, their eyes immediately glued to the video.
That was everyone's first reaction.
It was totally worth it!
As for what's worth it, it could be the claw marks on the person in charge's neck, or it could be the bite that the unlucky soldier got.
The first thing that catches the eye is the three-colored sky and the most eye-catching feature: a huge golden spear.
Compared to the "crows flying" clips that are most common in passenger video footage, or the few blurry, golden images, the footage captured by these reporters is simply stunning.
Not only is the image clear, but the resolution is also extremely high, and it can even be zoomed in. Furthermore, due to the difference in professional skills, the image quality is extremely strong, and no key position in front or behind is missed.
Especially the fleeting glimpse of "Goddess Morian's" face, which made everyone's heart flutter for a moment even through the screen.
Yes, the people from MI6 are not "ignorant commoners" after all; they had already identified the real person from the terms used by the public.
It wasn't that "fallen angel" at all, but rather "Morilian," one of the three goddesses of the Celtic Wars.
Black wings are one of the representative characteristics.
What's even more surprising about the video is that, in addition to the chaos during the crash, they also captured the process of the "puppet giant" forming and the panoramic view of the first wave of attacks.
Later, there were intermittent images of shockwaves, environmental destruction, and some sounds.
After a long while, the group spent three times as much time watching the video, repeatedly shifting to reverse.
"As expected of a professional photographer..."
"Sir, I think I would have fought you to the death if I were in your shoes..."
The person in charge subconsciously touched his neck, seemingly able to understand the madness of those journalists.
Another half hour passed, and the agents in the jeeps drove around the main area of the disaster site before finally stopping at the edge of the now clear "lake".
With the video comparison, it seems quite incredible to see that most of the ground has returned to its original level.
Looking at this "lake" of unknown depth, an agent made a note and then spoke to the person in charge.
"So now there's one crucial clue left."
The person in charge took out a cigarette, lit it, and let the smoke filter through his lungs for a few seconds before exhaling.
"Nova, no, it's... the Demon God's Lockhole!"
"Get Jeremy back as quickly as possible; his girlfriend is the key person now!"
"Okay, notify him immediately."
The concept of reincarnation has existed around the world for a long time, but never before have they been so convinced of its authenticity.
Moreover, they must hurry, because they don't know if "Mollian" will make a comeback. From the information they have so far, "Mollian" seems to hate "Keyhole" for some reason.
The next day's news reports described the minor tremors felt by residents of London and nearby cities as a harmless small earthquake that caused a railway collapse, mentioning it only briefly.
As for that video, it's not time to release it yet; it, along with other materials, is classified as top secret.
Codenamed "Wrath of the Goddess".
...
While the UK was tightly controlling information and conducting a tense yet excited investigation, a powerful nation that was always on the lookout for this information eventually caught wind of it.
The truth will eventually come out. The gag order is difficult to enforce due to the large number of people involved, and there will always be people who "accidentally" leak information in private. In addition, although the short videos and photos that someone posted on Twitter or WeChat Moments on the train were quickly deleted, they still attracted the attention of some people with ulterior motives.
It's one thing if no one pays attention, but for countries like China and the US, which have already invested heavily in this area and made considerable progress, Britain's actions can't be kept secret for long.
P.S.: Regarding the origin of the alchemical creature prototype Morian, some observant readers have raised questions. The answer is that I really forgot to write a chapter. In fact, I discovered it immediately after this part of the script "started," but changing the chapter title required contacting the editor, so I decided to leave it as it is and try to go back and add it after the story is over. Sigh, I really lost my mind!
