Chapter 468 Dark Rise
"Today is the second day after the beam of light appeared. In the White House, the new president issued a new ban. He asked all the people not to go out when it is not necessary..."

New York, ABC Television.

The news anchor reported to the camera with a panicked face.

What was shown on the TV screen was the chaotic scene in Washington, and the blue beam of light above the BSI headquarters, from which there were continuous screams and faces struggling to pass through the beam.

"Just one day before the news report, a huge blue beam of light suddenly appeared in the sky above the Bureau of Paranormal Investigations (BSI) in Washington DC. With the appearance of the beam of light, the whole of Washington fell into a huge panic. We don't know what the beam of light is. What is it……"

……

"Today is the third day of the incident of the beam of light. Some people call it the 'Day of Advent' or the day of the apocalypse. The beam of light above the BSI headquarters in Washington still has not changed, but there is no doubt that this is not What a good thing, so unless necessary, the citizens of Washington City, please don't go out of your house!"

In the picture reported by ABC News, the camera is aimed at the faint blue beam of light above the BSI headquarters. In the lens of the camera, a large number of densely packed faces can be vaguely seen floating in the beam of light. Around the headquarters, there are a large number of well-equipped policemen. Appears to be planning to enter BSI headquarters.

"Fifth day of Advent, it's been a bad day, all the police who have been inside the Bureau of Paranormal Investigations (BSI) have been without news for a day and a night, we have to prepare for the worst, while the faces in the beam of light It has become more and more, according to the photos, the number of faces emerging in the beam of light today is almost double that of yesterday."

In line with the report of the news anchor, the two photos taken from the sky above the BSI headquarters in the TV screen were placed side by side. Just as the anchor said, it can be seen There are almost half more faces than the other one.

"...The latest news is that the White House has issued a new emergency order. From now on, the entire Washington DC will be forced to enter a state of blockade. No one is allowed to leave Washington without authorization. According to the latest data, more than [-]% of our police officers have been on duty because of The hospital in Washington is now in a state of overload, the chaos caused by the beam of light is beyond imagination, the president has ordered the mobilization of the army, but I am not optimistic about it, we don't know what happened in Washington at all Everything, I hope that the arrival of the army can really solve all this, God bless America!"

Washington, as the most important political center of the entire United States, everything that happens in it affects the attention of the entire United States.

The beam of light that exists above the BSI headquarters is like a sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of the entire Washington DC public.

Everyone had a hunch that something big was about to happen.

This also caused the security environment inside Washington to deteriorate sharply in just five days.

The activities of 'zero dollar purchase' began to occur frequently in various parts of Washington, DC.

Even, on the day of the news report alone, there were more than a hundred supermarket bank robberies, which occurred in Washington, and this wave of robberies was basically a large-scale crime committed by multiple people, not a simple random act. The tools, cars, escape routes, etc. And robbery lists and the like are often prepared in advance.

The local Washington Police Department is simply unable to fight against the increasingly frequent 'zero dollar purchase' activities in recent days.

In other words, the beam of light that happened over Washington DC also made the urban police feel flustered.

At this moment, the police have no intention of enforcing the law.

……

"Today is the sixth day of Advent. As of today, there have been more than [-] group robberies in Washington, D.C., causing direct and indirect economic losses of more than hundreds of millions. The federal government has mobilized military forces to deal with Since the launch of the suppression operation, more than a hundred people were arrested that day alone, and at the same time, a large number of people armed with guns and robbers clashed fiercely with the arrested soldiers."

Following the report of the news anchor of ABC TV station, the scenes of the conflict captured by the reporter at the scene appeared on the TV screen, on which you can clearly see the shots of these armed soldiers and looters shooting at each other, even if some of them are bleeding The picture was mosaiced, but the intensity of the conflict can still be felt.

"...not just the fierce conflicts caused by the suppression process, in fact, with the coming of the beam of light, some citizens of Washington began to spontaneously gather outside the BSI headquarters..."

Although, the White House issued an executive order prohibiting non-essential travel.

However, for the American people who pay attention to "freedom and democracy", the effect of the ban is not as effective as it seems.

It can be clearly seen through the camera footage of reporters dispatched on the ground in Washington.

On the streets of Washington, many figures can still be seen there.

And around the BSI headquarters in the center of the event, a large number of people can be seen gathered nearby, holding banners in their hands and looking fanatical.

"Although, including the president and the mayor of Washington, D.C., have issued emergency orders asking everyone not to go out as much as possible, it is clear that not everyone is willing to abide by this order..."

Through the shooting of the external camera, it can be seen that there are a lot of fanatical religious words in the banners held by these people.

Many of them referred to the beam of light that appeared in Washington as a 'miracle of God', and even some agitated believers knelt under the beam of light, praying to the beam of light above the BSI headquarters.

These believers who have fallen into religious fanaticism are naturally not suitable interview subjects.

Even if the reporters wanted to ask some questions, they couldn't answer them in their frenzy.

Therefore, after looking around in the surrounding crowd, the reporter barely stopped a middle-aged man who looked normal and made an interview.

"Sorry, I can ask you, why are you still on the street at this time?"

Stopped by the reporter, the man glanced at the microphone in front of him, hesitated before saying, "I want to see what the beam of light looks like?"

"Don't you think that your actions are very dangerous?"

"Compared to the robbery activities that have happened nearby these days, I think this is already normal. At least I didn't pick up a pistol and join in the robbery, but just came out to take a look."
