There is a small hotel on the outskirts of Lyon. It is small in size but luxuriously decorated.
Because it is close to the reservoir and has complete facilities, it has been temporarily booked by the French government, and teams from China and the United States are staying here.
Of course, most of the special security team members are in the hospital now, so only Americans are staying in the hotel.
In the large suite on the third floor, the lounge seemed quite lively. Norton and a dozen of his subordinates were all gathered here.
The information on several computers is constantly updated, and the docking and verification have never stopped since I came back.
"Boom~"
A single-seater sofa suddenly caught fire. Ben quickly picked up the coat next to him and slapped it hard to put out the flames.
Baru calmly walked into the bathroom and brought out a basin of water and poured it on the sofa to put out the remaining sparks.
"I think it won't be long before the French can replace some sofas for us."
A joke lightened the atmosphere in the room.
"Ben, I know you care about Mr. Huang, but you have to relax a little. After all, you have to pay for the hotel fire..."
Norton also teased in a light-hearted tone.
During the previous research and treatment lasting more than a month, Huang Jiutian's presence played a significant role in eliminating Ben's fear and restoring his confidence.
As the saying goes, fear comes from the unknown, because Huang Jiutian's own perception and excellent language expression ability combined with patience are the key to his instinctive rapid recovery and control of his own evolutionary power.
In my heart, besides my parents, there are two people I am most grateful to. One is Dr. Ivan who treated me in the United States, and the other is Huang Jiutian.
"Don't worry, Ben. China has given us solid news. Huang is about to evolve again. He really is a guy with terrifying potential!"
It is not difficult to hear the strong envy and sourness in Norton's words.
Then his attention turned again to the computer screen, the information on which had not been updated for a while.
There are hundreds of pieces of information listed in total, which seems like a lot, but 90% of them are just mentioned in one sentence, and the remaining 10% is difficult to verify because of its age.
"So far, the fragmentary information obtained through a quick Internet search and some follow-up investigation of superficial materials is the limit."
"The rest can only be learned by slowly reading ancient books, relying on time and luck!"
When Norton said this, he basically told everyone that today's busyness could end here.
Baru deftly used a knife to peel the apple in his hand in ten seconds, then opened his bloody mouth and bit off nearly half of it.
Chew it two or three times and swallow it.
"Indeed, at present, the Dawn Society is different from some orthodox religions and some other organizations that are involved in key historical issues."
"They left no records that would make a lasting mark on history, let alone records of their internal organizational structure."
Take the remaining apple in your hand and swallow it in one bite.
“But that’s exactly the biggest point!”
"Yes! What we can be sure of now is their footprints and age. For a mysterious organization with such an exaggerated geographical and temporal span, it is not difficult to imagine its huge scale. How could the records be so marginal!"
Jonathan took over the topic with some excitement.
"And we have been able to confirm several records about the Dawn Association's money-making. Sometimes they seem to be keen on teasing some wealthy families and nobles and obtaining huge funds from them as operating capital."
"But just like a company, if you keep getting money, you always have to continue investing. Where do they spend their money? I feel..."
"Besides them, there must be something else that is outside of history, and all the resources of the Dawn Association are spent on that!"
Jonathan's words reminded everyone of the murals they saw today, and what he was referring to was already very clear.
"What you said makes sense, but this raises another question. Although the information about Dawn is fragmentary and scarce, at least we have found some of it. But as you said, perhaps the mutation has occurred before, so why is there no record of it in history?"
Another member also expressed his opinion.
Baru put away the fruit knife, and his expression suddenly became serious.
"Is there really no record? Those stories that our elders used to scare us when we were children, those legends passed down by word of mouth, those popular movies and materials today... I'm afraid they are not all the inspiration of human genius..."
Baru's suggestion startled the person who had just spoken, and he realized that he had made a fatal habitual thinking error.
Norton tossed the orange in his hand again and again.
"Did they help us in the Los Angeles crystal mine and St. Louis incident?"
…
On the other side, in the rest area of the French Super Research Department personnel, in addition to some people who were taking shifts to guard the reservoir, some elite personnel were also concentrating on working.
It won't be long before dawn, but they believe that neither they nor the Chinese and Americans who need to adjust to the jet lag will be able to sleep tonight.
"These materials basically just let us know that there is such a mysterious organization. This feeling of touching the key but not being able to find it is even more uncomfortable!"
"Have you checked the records?"
"I checked the private organizations and religions registered in the country, and even the property information of the buildings, but I couldn't find any records related to Shuguang. The previous file record of the location of this building turned out to be a store."
Cordell said nothing more, poring over the existing information, trying to find something through multiple readings.
But Vansh suddenly interrupted his research.
"Minister, I suddenly have a doubt!"
"explain!"
Without even looking up, Cordell took a sip of coffee and continued switching folders.
"I think the group of people who were 'treasure hunting' in our previous clues are probably not from the Dawn Association, at least not directly under it!"
This view quickly attracted everyone's attention.
"What do you mean?"
Cordell looked away from the computer screen and towards this talented young man.
"Although the records of their mysterious disappearance do suggest the existence of supernatural forces, this may not be their own power."
"From the footprints they left everywhere, it seems that they were not aware of the exact location of this secret building. Their behavior seemed to be lacking in planning and carefulness. Based on the current information, I don't believe that the real Dawn Association would make such a low-level mistake."
"So what do you mean?"
"I think this group of people must be from other private organizations, corporate consortiums, or historical families who know some inside information. They may have really found the real members of the Dawn Association. The traces that disappeared afterwards were the means used by the people in the Dawn to prevent others from following the traces of the previous group to find them."
Cordell took a sip of his coffee.
"That analysis makes sense. That means that either there are still key clues hidden in that building, or the key clues have been taken away by the group ahead."
"That should be it. I hope it's not the latter."
Now any clues needed to be taken seriously, so just 5 minutes later, a large number of people were organized again at the reservoir site to enter the building and search carefully, hoping to find some lost key information.
…
The three parties are constantly searching for information. Although they all have their own advantages, they still inevitably fall into bottlenecks.
What is certain is that the Dawn Association is indeed a large and mysterious organization, and in today's changing world, mysterious forces with powerful strength have indeed emerged.
But whether the mysterious force they had encountered was the Dawn Association, and how to find them, became a new mystery.
The latter problem is difficult to solve for the time being, but the former problem can be solved by hoping that Huang Jiutian, who is in a coma, can be solved.
They are the group of ordinary people in the world who are most exposed to mutations.
A vague premonition told everyone that even if the two were not from the same force, they must have some kind of connection.
Their cautiousness, their traveling around the world, their attempts to amass wealth and eradicate evil, all their understandable and incomprehensible behavioral patterns, are all for one purpose!
Those pairs of eyes that are always watching outside the normal society have been the vigilant ones behind the scenes of ordinary human society for thousands of years.
Today, in the 21st century, what they have been guarding against has finally arrived!
