Chapter 102 The Situation in the United States
The live broadcast ended, and the fog outside the window began to fade. These were things that Enor and the others could not know intuitively, but they could still notice that the building they were in was beginning to decay and the dust was falling off.
"Is this prison going to collapse?" Duke asked nervously, "Is it too late for us to run out now?"
"It's too late." Utor gave them an evil smile, "Let's be buried together in this world!"
Linda screamed, covered her mouth with her hands, and grabbed Enol's hand in fear.
Park Sung-hyun wanted to leave, but after taking a step, the stone ground under his feet became uneven. Soon the ground they were on began to sink gradually, and the other stones began to rise. The difference in height suddenly exceeded one meter. Not to mention thinking about going up, Park Sung-hyun didn't dare to get close, for fear that the connection between the ground and the ground would suddenly break and he would fall.
"No way..." Tony knelt on the ground with a look of despair on his face. "I have struggled so hard to survive until now!"
Sean: "Utor, didn't you promise to protect me?"
Utol flew into the air and looked at him: "Did I agree?"
Rose broke down and swore at him.
But soon, the shaking stopped. Just when a few people thought they had escaped, the stone ground under their feet suddenly disappeared, and a group of people fell from a height of... 30 centimeters and all fell on their butts.
"My ass..." Sean wailed as he fell to his knees.
Some people reacted quickly and didn't fall badly, like Duke. He immediately looked around and then looked confused: "Is this... a dormitory building?"
White walls, neat floor tiles, clean air, yes, this is the world they were in before they entered the strange world.
Did they make it out alive?
He turned around and saw Utor standing not far away, watching their laughter with a vicious look.
So, you were just trying to scare them?
It's really scary!
"We are finally out!!" Mandy cheered happily.
Utor laughed sarcastically and said, "Yes, you survived this time. I hope that if you encounter a crisis in the future, you will be able to persevere and survive to the end."
With just one sentence, everyone was silenced, and the happy atmosphere disappeared instantly.
Yes, if we calculate the time, there are probably about ten days left before the predicted weirdness officially arrives.
After the prank was completed, Utol was about to leave, but Liddell stopped him and said, "Will we have another chance to meet again?"
Utol looked back at Liddell and replied, "This land is my nest. If you can survive, there may be a chance."
After saying this, Utor turned into a crow, flew out of the window under the astonished gazes of the crowd, and disappeared without a trace, leaving only a pile of clothes on the ground.
After a while, Sean came to his senses and rushed over: "My clothes!!"
Picking up the tattered pants and shirt, Sean showed a look of disgust, squeezed it and prepared to throw it into the trash can.
By the way, he also needs to get a haircut. The merciless Crow shaved off all the hair on his head, making it a Mediterranean style. Of course, such an ugly hairstyle needs to be changed. As for how to change it... bald. Anyway, it will be cold in a while, and no one will see it when he wears a thick hat.
"Hey, friends, we're really on Weird Live!" Mandy exclaimed as she took out her phone.
"It's not just online." Park Sung-hyun stood at the window and looked outside. "There are a lot of media reporters and police outside. This dormitory building has been cordoned off with banners."
Someone's phone rang. It was a call from a family member or lover who was concerned about them.
Some people check their Moments first, and see an overwhelming amount of messages.
"Oh my God, I want to go home." Mandy said anxiously, "My grandparents are worried about me. They told me to go home and see for myself that I am safe."
Park Sung-hyun: "...My family also contacted me." Thinking about the relationship between himself and his family, Park Sung-hyun felt a little complicated.
"Hey guys." Duke took out his phone. "Shall we add each other as friends?"
After all, they were partners who had suffered misfortune together, and at least for now, there had been no backstabbing between them.
"Yeah, okay." Everyone responded and took out their phones to add each other as friends. The people who received the most attention were, of course, Liddell and Sean.
They seemed to be strangely close to the crow just now. The crow is a guardian bird valued by the Silver Kingdom. At the same time, Utor had saved them in a disguised way. If they encounter a crisis in the future, it would be a good thing to be able to contact the crow for help from Liddell.
Of course they didn't hold out much hope, but it was always good to have one more way out. Even if there was only a one in ten thousand chance, life was always the most precious.
Not only did they add each other as friends, they also created a group and said they wanted to keep in touch. Only then did they disperse.
Some wanted to go home, some wanted to return to their country, but in the end, their goals were not achieved immediately, and everyone was taken away for questioning and physical examinations. The questioning was just a process, and the more important content was to make an appointment with a psychologist and have a physical examination.
Sean's clothes that Utor had worn were also taken away for investigation. Sean was planning to throw them into the trash. The official Weird Investigation Bureau set up by the Silver Nation wanted to find out something from the clothes, but unfortunately, they only found Sean's hair, sweat, dust, and plant fibers that Sean had rubbed against while exercising. Nothing else was found.
The subsequent news was not made public by Silver Country, and people in other countries were not aware of it.
But the live broadcast of the Silver Country alone is enough for other countries' weird investigation bureaus and departments to compile several files.

United States.
In dealing with the weird, the United States' reaction speed is second only to China. It has established a professional department, the full name of which is the United States Weird Intelligence Investigation and Security Protection Department. The location of the department's headquarters building has been selected long ago, and the personnel inside are selected from various intelligence investigation bureaus, operations departments, and detective offices. Because dealing with weird requires armed forces, there are also military personnel inside. Although Kailett was of little use in facing the half-skeleton boy before, they still have experience in combat and other aspects.
A super power team has also been set up under this department, but no talent has been recruited yet, so it remains empty.
The department's chief manager was Baldwin, an official in his sixties, but the real core of the work was a group of investigators headed by Hamilton.
At this moment, they are summarizing all the monsters seen in the live broadcast room, drawing their appearance, attack methods, etc.
"Sir, we have summarized so many monster images in the live broadcast room, but we still haven't come up with a unified method to deal with them." A heroic female investigator with short black hair said, "Currently, the only way to deal with monsters is to run away, or pray that you can meet a monster like Kailet or this time Utol who is willing to help. Otherwise, you can only rely on your fate."
"Didn't that weird businessman named Bai Yixin say that there are some things that can deal with weird things?" someone asked.
"Yes, there is another way, which is to trade with the businessman Bai Yixin. But..." Someone hesitated to speak.
Hamilton looked at the person who had spoken. "Go ahead."
"Before, Bai Yixin was brought to the United States by Kailett and traveled around the country with Louis and Cole. All the places they passed by had experienced tragic killings or cruel cases." The female investigator said, "After they left, we marked those areas. Some are now slums..."
"Bonnie," Hamilton reminded her, narrowing his eyes. "There are no slums in America."
Bonnie's mouth twitched. What else should she call it? Those neighborhoods where homeless people gathered, filled with drugs and all kinds of smoke, and the streets were full of garbage like needles. What else could they be but slums?
Well, there are no slums in the United States.
"Those...areas with relatively average economic conditions." Bonnie changed the subject.
Hamilton nodded in satisfaction.
Bonnie complained in her heart that she was deceiving herself, and then continued, "These areas are very chaotic and difficult to manage. The other key areas have also been built into communities or commercial streets, and there are even wealthy areas. In particular, one place where a huge tragedy once occurred is now the estate of our President."
The smile on Hamilton's lips froze slightly.
The senior officials of the United States are divided into two parties, and the struggle between them is quite fierce. Just like other countries, there are successive monarchs and ministers. The establishment of the strange investigation and security department was naturally initiated by the current president, and the people who manage this department and the management who hold real power in it are all the president's own people.
Hamilton is one of the supporters of the current president.
"Are you sure, Bonnie?" Hamilton asked seriously, "This concerns the life of the President. This is not a joke."
"I'm not kidding." As a small investigator, Bonnie was not part of the management. Her faction was not consistent with that of the president. After all, if the newly established department was filled with people from her faction, the other faction would have the opportunity to accuse the current president of nepotism. Anyway, they were just a few small positions, so it would not be a problem to give them to people from the other faction, and it would also avoid giving them a handle.
Bonnie was a stickler for facts, so she told him everything she had found out with a straight face: "The President's estate was not open to the public, and Louis and his men did not bring the businessman in. However, the surveillance clearly saw them staying for a long time not far from the estate, facing the direction of the estate, and talking about the murder that had occurred there. At the time, the strange businessman even smiled and said, 'That's dangerous, be careful.'"
"Which estate?" Hamilton inquired.
Bonnie: "Blue Lake Manor."
