Extraordinary pedigree

After listening to Xia Xiu's profound explanation of the last question, Hanks truly admired the political sensitivity of the fourth sword-holder in the Kingdom of Heaven.

The four questions raised by Xia Xiu today accurately touched on the key challenges currently faced by the federal government and the administration within the new alliance. Therefore, Hanks’s voice was filled with deep recognition:

"The last question you mentioned reveals the double contradiction between the horse racing community and public opinion. This contradiction not only exists, but also shows a diffusion trend, extending from the horse racing community to other 'pseudo-human' groups - including the federal west coast. of Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego and Sacramento.”

"Multiple pseudo-human abnormal community groups existing in these abnormal states have begun to move."

Hanks continued in an extremely sincere tone:

"The Federation, or even the entire New Alliance, does not want to see a repeat of the Lindenstrasse massacre that happened in Berlin in the past."

As soon as Xia Xiu heard the mention of the Bodhi Street Massacre, his thoughts involuntarily returned to the decisive exam when he graduated from Luyuan. It was a profound experience. A shadow unconsciously passed between his eyebrows, but This shadow was quickly dispelled by his willpower.

His dazzling golden eyes refocused on Hanks and said in an unusually firm tone:

"Now that the Administration is the foreign-related director of the New Alliance, we have the responsibility to regulate and solve these problems through strong policy means."

Hearing Xia Xiu's words, Hanks was obviously very satisfied. He began to respond, with a hint of appreciation and commitment in his voice:

"As long as these conflicts can be effectively resolved, the Federation will fully recognize your position as the general jurisdiction of the New Alliance Paranormal Organization Council."

This is not only an affirmation of Xia Xiu's ability, but also a clear commitment to his leadership, which heralds the deepening of cooperation between the two parties and a closer alliance in the future.

Xia Xiu kept Hanks' promise in mind. He picked up the black hat and silver cane on the sofa, standing tall and straight, with unquestionable authority.

He turned to Hanks, his voice firm and calm:

"The position of commander-in-chief is what the Kingdom of Heaven deserves. But in addition to the position of commander-in-chief, I also ask for additional executive seats for the administration within the New Alliance Defense Planning Committee."

The words of the fourth sword holder in the Kingdom of Heaven not only show his ambition, but also reveal his consideration of a deeper strategic layout for the future.

After hearing this, Hanks couldn't help but look at Xia Xiu, and their eyes met in the air.

For a moment, the interview room fell into silence again.

Hanks looked at Xia Xiu's golden eyes full of confidence and courage, and finally gave in, with helplessness in his voice:

"As long as your actions are beneficial to the New Alliance, we are naturally willing to open the door wide for you and the Administration."

When Xia Xiu heard this, he gently put the top hat on his left hand on his head. This action symbolized the end of the meeting.

At the same time, he held the cane tightly in his right hand and said bluntly to Hanks:

"I will take care of everything myself."

"The cases that the federation cannot solve will be solved by our administration. I will kill the people that the federation dare not kill, and I will take care of the things that the federation dare not take care of."

In today's meeting, Xia Xiu and Hanks, the two giants of the New Alliance, discussed and redistributed interests.

Involving four core issues, these four issues represent four important matters of common concern to them:

The human body trading incident for pseudo-human beings within the Federation.

The issue of the New Alliance's puppet policy.

The social role and social expectations that New Alliance needs to play in horse racing.

Group conflicts within patients with strange hoof disease and increasingly tense public opinion conflicts.

Xia Xiu promised to solve these four problems personally, and Hanks was willing to pay corresponding political chips for this.

After discussing the four issues in detail, the two chatted briefly for a while.

"Then that's it for now, it's time for me to leave."

Later, Xia Xiu asked to leave, and Hanks personally saw him out.

"I'll give it to you."

On the way to farewell, Hanks not only shared the intelligence lines of the FBI within the New Alliance, but also assured Xia Xiu that during his tenure as commander-in-chief, he would be able to mobilize the defense section personnel and intelligence resources under the Defense Planning Committee, among which Including FBI agents.

After bidding farewell to Xia Xiu, Hanks stood on the wide steps, his eyes following the other person's figure as he drifted away, deep in thought.

His originally smiling expression quickly turned into one of deep seriousness.

The meeting with the Fourth Swordbearer in Heaven was more direct and efficient than expected, leaving him deeply impressed by Hugh Abraham's ability and determination.

His eyes were involuntarily drawn to the blood-red sunset on the horizon.

The setting sun shines like a flame, and its light shines on the grand door of the Second Federal Reserve Bank, making the solemn porch look particularly solemn and magnificent in the setting sun.

In front of this glorious door, the shadow on the ground was dyed a blood-like red, as if foreshadowing the coming storm.

Hanks looked at the bloody setting sun and couldn't help but reach out to cover his forehead.

This terrifying twilight heralds the coming of disaster, and the bloody tide whispers the impending doom.

From the abyss, the demons of hell are released, like Pandora's box being opened and its seeds sown.

Behold, the blazing sun sinks below the horizon, its red streak covering the lands of the Federation.

With each passing light, the shadows grow taller, the messengers of night walking in answer to the bleak call of twilight.

What was once sleeping now begins to awaken, and the storm is born from his decision.

This sunset bleeds - foretelling struggle and pain, and a purifying rain will fall on this land.

Hanks realizes that Xia Xiu's commitment and actions may have opened a door, releasing unpredictable power, just like Pandora's box, which once opened cannot be closed again.

This bloody setting sun not only heralds the coming chaos and conflict, but also symbolizes the red purge of heaven.

Terra Calendar 1591.1.22.

Edici Federation.

Minnesota, the State of a Thousand Lakes.

The most famous cities in the State of 1,000 Lakes are Minneapolis and St. Paul, which together form the so-called "Twin Cities."

Minneapolis, one of the Twin Cities, is the largest city in the State of 1,000 Lakes and is located near the banks of the Mississippi River.

Huhuhu~~

In winter in Minnesota, the air is filled with a cold and fresh breath.

White snowflakes fell on the vast land, covering trees, houses and streets, covering everything with a layer of silver.

In the distance, the blue sky and white clouds complement each other, and the sky is as blue as white, reflecting the white snow, like a beautiful picture.

drop--

drop--

A black Chevrolet parked on the side of the road, surrounded by a quiet scene.

The trees in the wilderness are swaying in the biting wind of winter, and their branches are covered with crystal clear ice hangings, as if they are works of art of nature.

The lake in the distance is covered with ice, and the cold wind howls past, making a faint roar, which is in sharp contrast to the tranquility around it.

Snapped--

The car door made a crisp click, breaking the quiet atmosphere around it.

As the car door slowly opened, a man wearing thick winter clothes stepped out of the driver's seat.

His face was covered by a beard, but under the sunlight, you could see that his face was full of traces of time. His thick coat wrapped his figure tightly, giving people a sense of stability and reliability. a feeling of.

As his footsteps moved, he quickly walked to the rear door and opened it with skillful gestures.

snap——

Immediately, a young man wearing a heavy blue winter coat walked out of the car.

His blond hair shines like the sun, contrasting well with the blue clothes. Wearing a woolen hat and gloves, he looks fresh and handsome.

He is holding a fishing rod bag of the same color behind his back, and his eyes are shining with confidence and vitality, giving people a sense of youthful vitality.

"Thank you for your hard work, Agent Williams."

A warm smile appeared on the lips of the blond young man, and as he exhaled, a stream of white heat rose up in the cold air.

When Agent Williams heard this, he puffed out his chest and responded:

“It is an honor to serve the General Administration.”

Xia Xiu said to Williams in a calm but firm tone: "Well, I will be alone for the rest of the trip. You guys from the Federal Defense Section will get acquainted with the new special operators stationed in the Defense Committee of the Administration."

A smile flashed across Agent Williams' face, and he responded: "We will. My colleagues in the Defense Section have a very good first impression of Officer Li Xi. I believe that future cooperation will be smoother."

Xia Xiu nodded and continued to add:

"That's good, you just lead the team around Minnesota, don't go deep, and don't cause unnecessary panic in the local area. The State of Thousand Lakes has a huge autonomous armed force and multiple regional hubs, and the New Alliance's power here is not as strong as In the New World City.

Moreover, it borders the Ottawa regional government. Recently, many people from Ottawa have crossed the border wall and entered the federation illegally. This, combined with the recent uproar, has made the situation even more complicated. "

Williams listened carefully to Xia Xiu's explanation and frowned slightly, obviously feeling the complexity of the situation.

He nodded to express understanding: "I understand, General Administration, we will proceed carefully to ensure that we not only strengthen cooperation with the Authority, but also pay attention to these potential risks."

Xia Xiu was satisfied with the professionalism shown by Williams, and this recognition was reflected in his faint smile. Afterwards, Agent Williams saluted a standard military salute to the New Alliance Commander-in-Chief, then started the vehicle and drove away from this quiet wilderness with the snowflakes slowly falling.

Xia Xiu, who was left alone, wore a blue winter suit, carried his fishing rod bag, and stepped onto the ground covered with thick snow. His steps were firm, leaving a series of deep footprints in the snow.

Minnesota, known as the "State of a Thousand Lakes," is home to more than 10,000 lakes and is an outdoor enthusiast's paradise.

These lakes, along with numerous national parks, provide a wealth of opportunities for a variety of outdoor activities, such as fishing, boating, hiking, and skiing.

Xia Xiu's destination is Lake Mille Lacs - a fishing resort famous for its rich resources of varley fish and bass in Minnesota.

Lake Mille Lacs has a wide body of water and is particularly famous for its rich stock of varrey fish and perch.

The plan is to hike there and complete a field trip to the area.

Xia Xiu slung the fishing rod bag over his right shoulder, facing the surrounding white snow scene, and looked around, with the white snow scene reflecting in his eyes.

On the vast white snowfield, there was silence, except for the gentle breeze blowing through the treetops, making a gentle rustling sound.

In this pure sea of ​​snow, trees stand tall, their branches covered with white snowflakes, as if they are elf-like beings.

The shadows of the trees and the footprints on the snow complement each other, creating a wonderful picture.

Sashasha~

While Xia Xiu was looking at the snowy scene around him, a slight chill came from his neck. In the quietness of winter, he reached out and gently pressed the shoulder on his left shoulder that was playfully pulling on his flowing blond hair. little things".

On his shoulder, there was a tiny presence.

It was a purple-haired girl smaller than a keychain. She had a unique and flawless appearance, just like the legendary elf.

Her purple hair was as soft as silk, and her eyes shone with clear light.

She was wearing a white winter coat, and her whole body seemed to be surrounded by soft snow light.

The thick winter hat covered the purple hair on her head, making her appearance even more delicate.

The cold wind blew by, and a blush appeared on the tip of her nose, adding a bit of cuteness and playfulness.

With Xia Xiu gently pressing his finger on the top of his head, Hope finally became a little quieter. There was a hint of childish seriousness in her eyes, and the cold air around her was suddenly filled with a crimson breath - as if Alice had been awakened from her sleep, bringing with it an indescribable premonition. The Stag Apostle has sensed something here that cannot be ignored...it is the smell of blood.

Hope stared at Xia Xiu, her purple eyes looking particularly deep in the reflection of the snow, and she said carefully:

"I feel the blood and the screams of creatures here..."

Xia Xiu's expression became serious after hearing Hope's words. He looked around. This snow-covered forest seemed to hide some unknown secret.

In the cold wind, he could feel an almost substantial silence, nature's harbinger of the coming storm.

“The days of the Wendigo are coming,

Put away your expression, hide your memories,

Be careful - the predators are coming,

The days of the Wendigo are now upon us.

Try to bloom a smile, try to fight against forgetfulness,

Be cautious - there is no doomsday of despair,

Behold the wild black storm that no longer exists,

People will say,

This is the age of the Wendigo. "

Xia Xiu stepped on the snow and recited poetry. This was the purpose of his coming here.

The FBI has investigated the disappearance of a large number of pseudo-human groups in Ottawa and the areas adjacent to the Great Lakes region in the northern part of the federation. With their disappearance, rumors about the Wendigo spread rapidly.

In this wilderness surrounded by cold, the snow scene is no longer the quiet white common in winter, but has become extremely depressing, with an ominous atmosphere.

Thick layers of snow cover the forests and plains, and every inch of land is shrouded in a layer of opaque white snow, as if hiding ulterior secrets.

The trees in the forest were shrouded in a layer of frost, and their branches were twisted like an old man's fingers, pointing stiffly toward the sky. Their shadows cast skewed black outlines on the snow, forming ghostly pictures.

Don't walk alone in the snow because...

The man-eating Wendigo is watching you.

They are never satisfied, and the more they eat, the stronger their hunger becomes. In the Federation, this trait symbolizes uncontrollable greed and desire to consume.
