my beauty world

A sprawling classical estate in the suburbs of Washington.

The headquarters of the vampire Johnson family in Washington.

The current patriarch, William Johnson, has recently been stationed at the altar in the basement of the manor, often accompanying Lilith's statue day and night.

Family affairs are temporarily handed over to his son James Johnson.

In the underground altar, William Johnson was pouring blood on the statue of Lilith, when he suddenly felt blood flashing on the statue.

The surrounding environment changed drastically, the underground altar disappeared, and the space suddenly opened up, as if you were in a vast and huge palace!

William Johnson looked up, and there were tall steps just within reach of his eyes.

On the steps, stood a tall and straight woman.

It has a wonderful figure, with a long blood-red veil on its back, a spiked crown on its head, and its eyes are tightly closed into lines, as if it is fast asleep!

William Johnson fell to his knees with a thump: "The ruler of blood and darkness, the queen of the endless abyss, the great Lilith, the most loyal servant is called."

Lilith's body was turned halfway, her eyes seemed to be opened a slit, and her uneven body also had vitality, which made people reluctant to move their eyes away.

But William Johnson didn't see it.

The vampire prostrated himself on the ground, facing the ancestor and the god he believed in, and raised his whole body and mind.

Lilith's voice seemed to come from the sky, ethereal and ethereal: "Kill Ronan the Destroyer, retrieve the Blood Gem, and welcome my return!"

"I obey the Holy Order!" William Johnson replied: "Only the Holy One!"

The surrounding scenery changed suddenly, and William Johnson returned to the underground altar.

Looking back on what happened just now, she was sure it was Lilith.

William Johnson strode out of the underground altar and informed James Johnson and other important family members to come to see him.

In addition to James Johnson, Zatan, who is wearing Garrett Walker's face and is training to be the Grand Commander, and the Countess Elizabeth Bartley, who was recently awakened from Hungary, came.

The latter is the cousin of the Johnson family before they moved to the American continent. He has just woken up from a deep sleep and is still familiar with the world, basically only listening and not talking.

William Johnson said, "My Lord has just sent the Word!"

Elizabeth remained silent.

Zatan asked: "My lord is awake?"

James Johnson also asked: "What instructions?"

"Recover the Blood Gem from Ronan the Destroyer." William Johnson said, "Prepare for the return of my lord."

Hearing the name of Ronan the Destroyer, Zatan and James Johnson both had headaches, that bastard terrorist was really hard to deal with.

The United States has nothing to do with him.

Not wanting to hear the name that makes ghosts worry about seeing it for the time being, James Johnson asked: "How to welcome the Holy Return?"

Zatan, who came from Gatai and participated in Lestat's plan, said, "We need a sea of ​​blood."

James understood: "Need to die, a lot of people?"

William Johnson nodded slightly: "Yes, it takes millions, even tens of millions of deaths."

"Baron Lestat instigated a plan, but it was destroyed by Ronan the Destroyer, and even he himself died in Ronan's hands." Zatan said that Lestat and Valentine cooperated to release the virus , basically said it again.

James suddenly thought of a place: "The Army Institute of Infectious Diseases at Fort Detrick is said to have stored and synthesized multiple severe infectious disease viruses, and there have been leaks. Can we think of something about it?"

William Johnson did not answer, but looked at Zatan: "You have been preparing for so long, are you ready?"

Zatan didn't speak. Although he became a blood race and saw the ruler of blood and darkness during the sacrifice, he has been in Washington for so long and found that it is not easy to be the commander, especially Garrett Walker is being impeached.

"I... still need some time." Zatan rubbed the face disguised as Garrett Walker.

"There is no time, and the Holy Word has been issued. We must finish it as soon as possible." William Johnson can see that Zatan is enjoying the most luxurious life in Washington. It seems that he is still practicing pretending to be Garrett Walker. inertia.

If we continue, the trump card sent by Cobra will be useless, and we will make a decisive decision: "Now, our great cause needs a great commander!"

Zatan was silent for a moment, thinking of the change from a ninja to a vampire, he had already boarded the big ship of the vampire, and there was the great god Lilith under the boat, and he couldn't get off.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and asked, "What can I do?"

William Johnson nodded with satisfaction: "There are many things that can be done, such as using nuclear weapons after determining the location of Ronan the Destroyer! Garrett Walker and the people in the Pentagon are all useless, and they clearly have weapons to destroy Ronan , but you are too worried to use it! And you, a noble blood race, don’t worry about those lowly creatures.”

He lashed out at Fang Qiu, as if he controlled the most powerful country in the world: "With the lives of millions of people, creating a sea of ​​blood, only the holy return is needed, and the position of commander is even more necessary. For example, the situation between the United States and Russia has become tense recently. If How will the Russian side react when the United States adds fire to Ukraine? Garrett Walker himself dare not add fire to this fire, but you can sit in that position!"

Zatan knew what he meant: "War? World war? Nuclear war broke out, and we couldn't survive."

"Human beings are timid, and nuclear wars cannot be waged. Without nuclear weapons, World War III would have broken out long ago." William Johnson thought he had seen it clearly: "Under normal circumstances, the United States and Russia will not directly confront each other, but Ukraine's position is the key , How many people does Ukraine have? There must be tens of millions.”

James said: "More than 4000 million."

"A lot of people, fully agree with the demand." William Johnson seemed to see the war broke out, the corpses were everywhere, and the sea of ​​blood was monstrous: "Senator Frank Underwood once drew up a plan for Garrett Walker about Ukraine, but With the two sides drifting apart, the plan has not progressed much so far."

He uttered Frank's clear statement that was circulated among high-level Washington officials: "The last Ukrainian will not die, and the United States will never give up with Russia!"

Zatan also adjusted his mood slightly, saying: "I need you to create an opportunity."

James Johnson now represents the family in activities outside, saying: "The commander-in-chief needs to attend and participate in many activities, and there are many opportunities. As long as the thunder mage Joseph is not there, we will start."

He added another sentence: "That Thunder Mage, how should I put it? He doesn't look like a responsible person, but more like an old-fashioned playboy who likes to enjoy himself."

William Johnson said directly: "Hire a few beauties, hook up with Joseph, and then find a way to make him earn a lot of money and leave Washington to travel."

After discussing the plan, Johnson and his son looked for and created opportunities. Zatan seized the last time and continued to imitate Garrett Walker's training. At the same time, he was also trying to get familiar with the specific situation of the people around Garrett Walker.

At that time, efforts will be made to convert people who often come into contact with Garrett-Walker into blood servants, but it is difficult to convert them all, which requires Zatan to respond according to the actual situation.

This is not the first time that Zatan has infiltrated like this. Back then, he infiltrated the Lanying Clan for the Sun Gem. Unfortunately, he killed the previous head of the Lanying Clan, but he did not get the gem.

Later, he became a vampire, only to know that the so-called sun gem, its real name is the blood gem.

In any country, the internal struggle for power and profit will be staggering with its speed and efficiency.

The joint investigation team composed of the Bureau of Special Affairs, the Bureau of Homeland Security, and the Defense Intelligence Agency was formed in just one day, with Daisy, Assistant Director of the Bureau of Special Affairs, as the director, and directly stationed in Langley to conduct a rigorous investigation against the CIA.

In the past, some important personnel of the investigation team may encounter some inexplicable unexpected situations.

Now the overall progress is relatively smooth.

The CIA's elite operatives are almost dead now.

Last year in Bulgaria was cheated once by Ronan and Ilsa.

This time in Lithuania, I was going to be cheated back, but I was cheated again. There are very few real action elites left.

Most of those who remained in Langley were civilian officials and technicians.

On the first day of the CIA's investigation, the joint investigation team captured all kinds of evidence of the CIA's violations, and there were countless evidences. Even if Heather-Lee hurried back after the meeting to cover it up, it couldn't be covered up at all.

Because there are too many illegal facts that the CIA has done.

Among other things, the control of drug traffickers entering the United States is one thing to discuss in private.

It is another matter entirely to push down the wall and go through legal procedures.

Carolina is very busy, collecting the power that belonged to Blake before, appeasing the veterans of the Special Affairs Bureau such as Blocker and Ripcord, handling matters related to the CIA, and so on.

At the same time, a piece of information was also provided to Ronan, and a certain geologist came to Washington.

…………

The Mensa clubhouse is brightly lit.

Professor Lawrence from Caltech's School of Geology, and his assistant Dr. Jin, had a hard time finding someone to "inquire" about the news that the chief of staff of the White House and several senior officials would come to the Mensa club for consumption every day.

The car was parked on the side of the road, Lawrence sorted out various data materials, and Dr. Jin kept staring at the parking lot at the door.

After a short meeting, Dr. Jin said, "Professor, the bus is here!"

Professor Lawrence immediately opened the door and got out of the car, trotting all the way there, before the chief of staff entered the Mensa clubhouse, he introduced himself: "Hello, sir, I am Professor Lawrence from Caltech University. Provided data on the San Andreas fault zone, there will be a major earthquake in the west..."

"The data you provided last time, I consulted the Federal Emergency Management Agency, and they said that there is a problem with your data." The chief of staff turned his head and glanced, and said: "It's private time after get off work, I have an important appointment. Professor, Your data may not be accurate, so be it.”

Professor Lawrence said quickly: "Please listen to me..."

The chief of staff entered the clubhouse without looking back. Last time, the data provided by the other party was scary. He consulted specifically, and the Emergency Management Bureau thought the other party was alarmist.

Professor Lawrence wanted to follow suit.

Two strong, handsome men in black suits blocked him: "Sorry, sir, this place only accepts members. If you are a member, please show your membership card."

Professor Lawrence watched the fat guy go further and further, turned around and left.

Are these round-bellied politicians full of water?

There was the sound of cameras taking pictures nearby, and some reporters nearby were taking pictures.

Professor Lawrence sees quite a lot. Journalists in Los Angeles like to photograph celebrities. There are few entertainment stars in Washington, but there are many political stars. The focus of media attention is naturally on politicians.

He walked back disappointed.

A reporter nearby came over and asked, "Hi, may I ask you just now that there might be a major earthquake in the west?"

Professor Lawrence looked at the man warily.

Ronan used to be a reporter, and he knew the way well. He took out his press card: "I'm Louise, a reporter from the Washington Post. I just heard what you said to the White House Chief of Staff. Can we talk a little?"

The Washington Post is one of the three major newspapers in the United States, and its name is loud enough.

Thinking of the things that have been worrying about and ignored by the Washington authorities, Professor Lawrence nodded: "Yes, let's find a place to chat."

There is a cafe nearby. When Professor Lawrence called Dr. Jin, Ronan led them into the cafe.

After ordering coffee, Ronan took out a voice recorder and asked, "Is that okay?"

Professor Lawrence waved his hand: "Let's talk in private first."

Ronan deliberately put the recorder aside.

Professor Lawrence glanced at it, and his attitude was a little better.

Ronan asked directly: "Professor, you said there might be a major earthquake in the west?"

Professor Lawrence asked back: "Do you know the San Andreas fault zone?"

"I know." Ronan nodded: "The geological fault zone that runs through western California."

Professor Lawrence pointed to Dr. Jin and said, "My assistant and I have been studying the San Andreas fault zone for the past two years. With the active geological activities these years, the San Andreas fault zone is also moving slowly. , but at this rate, there will be no major earthquakes in the next 20 years."

His voice changed suddenly: "But the eruption of the Yellowstone volcano changed everything. The San Andreas fault zone moved hundreds of times faster, and its accumulated pressure suddenly increased. This fault zone has been in the past few decades. There have been no major earthquakes, do you know what that means?"

Ronan looked taught: "What does it mean?"

Professor Lawrence said: "All the energy it has accumulated for decades will erupt! Not only that, but the underground movement of the Yellowstone volcano has caused part of the underground movement to apply pressure to the side of the San Andreas fault zone. Once the earthquake erupts, the lowest Above 9 on the Richter scale, even higher! And Yellowstone Yellowstone will explode again!"

Remember the public in 1 second:

Chapter 367 The artist wants to go to the island country

Regarding the possibility of another major earthquake in the west and Professor Lawrence, Ronan had heard Carolina mention it a long time ago, but the details were not as intuitive as what Professor Lawrence said.

According to Professor Lawrence, once the San Andreas fault zone triggers a major earthquake, not only will most of the west coast of the United States fall into a deep disaster, even the Yellowstone volcano may erupt again.

Yellowstone Park has been completely destroyed in the last volcanic eruption, and the surrounding three states have not yet escaped from the secondary disaster of the earthquake.

Once again, the American West could collapse.

However, all kinds of incidents, especially the various problems caused by terrorist attacks, have kept the United States from being able to settle down. The political situation in Washington is in turmoil. The big shots are busy destroying competitors, and no one pays attention to Professor Lawrence's judgment based on the so-called data model.

Because the monitoring of the US Federal Emergency Management Agency shows that the San Andreas fault zone is not a big problem.

"Those bureaucrats are still using monitoring equipment from 20 years ago!" When Professor Lawrence talked about research and professionalism, he had 1 dissatisfaction with FEMA: "The monitoring points they set up are only a few dozen, and they can't monitor at all." The real situation of the fault zone!"

Ronan had a lot of dealings with the Washington authorities, and many of them were members of the Mensa Church, so he understood the thinking of some of them.

There are other reasons besides what Professor Lawrence said.

For example, the uncertainty of the earthquake, such as the social panic that may be triggered if the response is made with great fanfare, and so on.

Ronan asked, "Professor, the big earthquake you said will definitely erupt?"

Professor Lawrence is a scholarly expert and cannot give a direct answer.

Because the underground movement is too complicated, human beings know too little at present.
