Dual Transmigration: Starting from being captured and brought to the Hehuan Sect!
Chapter 306 Death Has Arrived!
At the poolside of a seaside resort villa in the Southern Hemisphere, a middle-aged man in a white linen shirt was holding a coffee cup and gazing at the sea. Suddenly, the cup slipped from his hand and smashed on the stone floor, shards flying everywhere, and brown coffee trickled down the cracks.
He himself just sat there quietly, as if gazing into the distance in a daze.
On another private jet flying across the Pacific, a passenger was leaning back in his seat reading a magazine when he stopped on a certain page, his eyelashes drooped, and his breathing stopped completely.
No one in the cabin noticed anything amiss until the sound of shattering glass was heard, at which point the flight attendants screamed in terror.
It was as if some invisible hand swept across the globe at the same moment, precisely extinguishing those lights that should not have continued to burn.
With each flash of silver light, someone fell silently; with each nail falling, a silent judgment was delivered.
It was so fast that there was no time to sound an alarm, and so quiet that it didn't alert anyone.
It was as if Death had signed all the names that needed to be signed in the same hour, then put away his pen, turned around and left, leaving no trace behind.
This anomaly was first detected by the security monitoring systems of various countries.
Within hours, information agencies in several countries reported a similar lead almost simultaneously:
Within a short period of time, multiple locations reported "a large number of sudden and abnormal deaths," and their causes of death were strikingly consistent.
The brain was penetrated by a tiny metallic object, leaving a fine wound that left almost no trace.
Preliminary forensic examination confirmed that the objects causing the injuries were all iron nails of the same specification.
What's even more chilling is that, from the first incident to the last one that was recorded, the time difference between all the incidents was within a very short window.
This level of precision in global synchronization far exceeds the scope of any known assassination operation.
This was not a series of isolated assassinations; it was a meticulously planned purge, with the executor seemingly present in every location simultaneously.
The investigation was quickly launched, with intelligence agencies from various countries utilizing almost every available technological means:
Satellite imagery, surveillance records, communication interception, and financial anomaly analysis.
But they soon ran into an invisible wall.
All text, images, and discussions related to this incident that attempt to be uploaded to the public internet will be automatically blocked or judged as violating an unknown rule.
Someone posted about this on social media, and the post disappeared instantly.
Someone tried to spread the information via private messages, but the message was as if it had been erased by some invisible hand and could not be delivered.
Technical teams from various countries tried various approaches, but all ultimately failed.
This goes beyond the scope of ordinary censorship tools.
Only a force with global-level information control capabilities could achieve a blockade of this scale.
In this respect, there is only one name in the world that meets the criteria.
As a result, intelligence agencies in many countries quickly reached the same conclusion:
It is the Great Xia Dynasty.
Only the Great Xia Dynasty could mobilize this level of information blockade capability.
In a short time, diplomatic channels from multiple countries saw a high frequency of protests. The United States took the lead by issuing a strongly worded inquiry through official channels, demanding that Great Xia explain its "suspected targeted killing operations carried out simultaneously in multiple countries within its territory."
Several other countries followed suit, using different wording, but all focused on the same point.
However, when this questioning reached the capital, it encountered a rare and awkward situation.
Because the list of those confirmed dead also included a considerable number of citizens of Great Xia.
Some are senior technicians, some are heads of core research institutions, and some are even serving senior officials.
Their time and manner of death were exactly the same as those of those who died abroad, and there were no warnings or reports.
This caused a brief period of chaos within the decision-making body of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Initially, a considerable number of people even judged this to be a retaliatory strike by the United States, because all the characteristics pointed to a "synchronized decapitation operation led by foreign forces".
However, after they urgently retrieved data from the information monitoring department, they quickly ruled out this conclusion.
the reason is simple:
Globally, there is currently only one technological force capable of blocking information channels to this extent.
And the company's headquarters happens to be located within the territory of Daxia.
Therefore, when Xingyu released the announcement on global media platforms, the news was not as surprising as expected.
The announcement was extremely concise, making no mention of any casualties or details of the incident, only stating clearly:
Future Technology is now publicly soliciting valid clues about the "Illuminati" from around the world. Any individual or organization that provides valuable information can receive a reward of up to one billion.
The announcement included an encrypted submission portal at the end, stating that "all information must be verified by the system, and false reports will be identified and excluded."
This message reached most corners of the earth within hours through all the network channels covered by Star Language.
Its influence far exceeded expectations.
Because this is unlike any previous form of bounty.
One billion is not a small amount; it's enough to ensure that an ordinary person never has to worry about money again for the rest of their life.
For informants, intelligence brokers, and insiders who have long operated in the gray area, the name "Illuminati" is itself a huge, dormant treasure trove.
Countless people began to dig out their dusty records, meeting minutes, email screenshots, and logistics data. Any information that might be linked to the Illuminati was re-examined.
Someone uploaded an encrypted phone call recording from three years ago, someone submitted an internal equity structure diagram of a company, and someone attached a set of photos taken at a specific time and place.
Never before have there been such a concentrated surge of whistleblowing and reporting in the corners of the internet.
Of course, there are also those who try to profit from the chaos.
Some people attempt to use fabricated clues to claim the bounty, creating several code names and addresses to fabricate seemingly plausible chains of communication.
But the mastermind's verification system is more thorough than they imagined.
It links timestamps, network nodes, identity records, financial transaction history, and even the consistency of lighting and shadow in details within a photo. Clues deemed fake are often marked as "invalid" within seconds of submission, and the submitter doesn't even receive a reply.
Truly valid intelligence will be quickly screened, verified, and then transferred to the relevant departments for further processing.
Within a few days, thanks to the ongoing bounty system and the mastermind's meticulous screening, the last batch of names hidden in the shadows were completed and the perpetrators were shot.
