The people from the 19th Organization Department conducted a week-long detailed investigation and compared information with other survivors who had gradually awakened.
The information is inconsistent, or rather confusing.
Among those who woke up late, some had no memories at all but suffered from severe anxiety and claustrophobia; some, like Baru, could remember the horrifying pain but had no clear memory of what happened afterwards; some heard the heavy rain and the sounds of the "black-robed men" fighting, but their vision was temporarily lost at that time.
The other three people who were found in the same place as Baru had different memories. Some differed in the number of rescuers, while others had slight differences in the language they remembered.
In comparison, Baru is the one who has the clearest overall thinking among the group.
However, one thing is certain, the one who destroyed the mutated mine was a mysterious force that existed long ago.
They have probably fought against similar strange beings in history and are still prepared for it.
This is indeed an exciting clue, but also a confusing clue.
Norton and his men spent several days collecting all possible relevant records in history.
It’s not that there are no results, but that there are too many results!
Yes, human beings have rich imaginations that make us what we are, but they can also be pretty fucked up at times.
You can easily search for dozens or hundreds of heroic stories about saving the world or destroying evil. If you search in depth, you can easily find ten times as many.
Even if we eliminate some that seem unreliable, it is still like looking for a needle in a haystack, or it may be more appropriate to say that we can only sigh in despair.
But this is good news after all, isn't it?
At least I can have more valuable things to say when reporting to my superiors.
Baru and several others got the information about "the return of darkness" from the fragments of words from the mysterious man in black robe.
Norton and department members spent several all-nighters writing a detailed fourteen-page report.
The focus is on making speculations and suggestions about the "return of darkness".
It is recommended to increase preparation efforts starting from the national level.
As for how to prepare, I'm sorry, although the funding and authority of the 19th Organization Department have increased, its jurisdiction is not that wide, so let the higher-ups make their own assessment.
But Norton also knew some external intelligence. The information he had shared with the Intelligence Bureau showed that China had already started a so-called "civil defense replacement project" on a relatively covert basis some time ago.

A light drizzle fell from the sky.
There was a black umbrella in the cemetery on the ground.
Today is the funeral for the fallen employees of Hercules.
All 10 survivors who had been preliminarily cleared of the threat of mutant infection attended the funeral.
It goes without saying that Baru and his friends are colleagues and comrades-in-arms. Jack and Joseph also attended as they felt they were in the same boat.
The seven coffins buried actually contained only some clothes, while the crystallized bodies were taken by the state.
The reason is naturally its potential harmfulness and research use.
For this, the immediate family members of the seven people received sufficient compensation for mental damages.
Although they were not active military personnel who died in action, Hercules executives still draped the national flag on each coffin.
Before the coffin was lowered, Baru and six other survivors of the incident personally took down the national flag and handed it over to the families of the victims.
An old mother, a grief-stricken father, a sad wife, an ignorant child...
Facing all these faces, Baru felt heavy in his heart.
He looked at Jack and the other three people, and the three people in the same corner were also looking at him at this moment.
'Brothers, your blood will not be shed in vain! I will avenge you!'
…
On the other side, Qin Xiaoxia had already boarded the flight back home after Jenny and others reluctantly said goodbye.
Qin Xiaoxia, who returned with a full load this time, was naturally very satisfied, and those who saw him off were also full of expectations for the future.
They really wanted to get a visa immediately and go to China with Qin Xiaoxia and Su Su, but they had their own mission.
"Dawn" has been in decline for too long. The association not only needs to restore its strength, but also needs to restore its eyes and ears, and more importantly, it needs to extend its tentacles far enough.
There is still a lot of work to be done to restore the association's influence throughout the United States, or even just around Los Angeles, let alone re-establish branches.
They might encounter some force majeure factors during this period, but what excites them is that, in addition to the four prospective knights, Jenny and others each have a trace of Qin Xiaoxia's magic power stored in their left and right arms.
These two magical powers would absorb a small amount of their physical and mental strength every day, not much, the total amount was only equivalent to running for more than ten minutes, but it could keep the two magical powers from dissipating.
Providing them with help when necessary, especially when encountering chaos in the outside world, these are two life-saving talismans.
But without mentioning these, it can be expected that in the near future, this group of people will become frequent passengers on international flights.

Cui Ying is a reporter for an online media.
Like everyone who enters the journalism industry, she was arrogant and had dreamed of becoming a well-known reporter or news anchor, in short, a position with high status, high salary and benefits, which was very prestigious to talk about.
Unfortunately, society is a rectangular grinding machine. Excluding a very few lucky people, everyone else is just a bunch of other people. If your ideas are outstanding, you will feel lost when they are ground down.
After working in the industry for 5 years, Cui Ying felt that she was neither high nor low. Apart from making a few friends in the journalism industry, she could be said to have done nothing else.
It’s not entirely true to say that she hasn’t done anything meaningful, but at least she has tried and worked towards a goal.
Cui Ying is actually quite dissatisfied with the current atmosphere in the industry.
She believes that many media outlets have lost the basic professional ethics of a journalist and are in a distorted state of not seeking evidence or thinking, but only seeking to attract attention.
The main dream of becoming a well-known host is so difficult that there is no end in sight, so Cui Ying has another equally difficult "amateur dream".
Change the tide of journalism!
Well, for this purpose, Cui Ying established a group of thousands of people and attracted a group of like-minded journalists.
Although this group of people are basically all unhappy at work, at least as the group leader, Cui Ying feels a little bit of the fun of being an official.
It is naturally impossible to change any trends by relying on such a group of people, but sometimes it may be possible to achieve a positive result without any intention.
Although their amateur dream was not fulfilled, this group of people worked together to create an online text-based self-media.
Put all kinds of weird things on it, and it has attracted a group of loyal fans.
They did not write these contents casually. After all, the original intention of establishing the group is there, so basically they will verify every matter and every rumor in detail, and conduct on-site inspections if conditions permit.
It's like if this self-media named "Yingzhi Suoxiang" released a missing person notice with a photo, you would never find out after a while that the photo was actually an old childhood photo of a celebrity or was stolen, and they would not make up some fake news about "plastic seaweed" to attract attention.
This is also a factor that attracts loyal fans because they don’t write nonsense.
This morning, Cui Ying, who was sitting at her desk browsing the web out of boredom, suddenly saw an administrator in the group post a picture.
It was a rather scary photo of a child whose face seemed to have been worn away in a large area.
