Chapter 243

"Hiss..."

He breathed in deeply, the choking smoke filling his lungs. While nicotine brought pain, it also gave a hallucination of sobriety, making the man realize once again that he was not in a dream; what was before him was the truth, the reality of the world.

"This world is fucking crazy..."

Foundation Level 4 Agent Robert stared at the screen, unable to help but have such a thought.

Warm air, cool seawater, waves surging on the sea surface, shattering white bouquets.

Memories related to the sea were cool and beautiful.

Golden beaches, white yachts, passionate beauties, and translucent bikinis.

If only there weren't floating debris, spilled oil, the bodies surrounded by them, and the seagulls circling over this sea area.

How good would that be?

"Swish—swish—"

"Boom—"

The sky outside the window was accumulating gloom; the sky was like it had been poured with lead, and pale lightning reminded people time and again that it was dark, yet it vanished in an instant.

The rhapsody of raindrops falling on the glass was buried time and again by the sound of keyboard typing.

Robert had no time to sympathize with the victims.

He was not cold-blooded, or some potential anti-human element.

But he personally felt that dying without knowing anything at this moment was a pretty good result.

The television, a square screen, the man trapped in the frame was talking to the air.

"You are watching CBB News, I am Frank."

"This morning, a cruise ship carrying over 2,000 passengers and crew sank. This is the most serious cruise ship disaster in recent years."

"It is reported that this was a tourist route departing from Britain and heading to America."

"However, about 500 kilometers from the coast, the cruise ship suddenly exploded and caught fire, causing the hull to break and sink rapidly."

"After receiving the distress signal, the Coast Guard immediately dispatched helicopters and rescue ships to the scene."

"The cause of the explosion is unknown, casualties are unknown, and rescue operations are still ongoing."

"The cruise ship operator stated that they are investigating the cause of the accident and expressing condolences and compensation to the families of the victims and survivors."

"Our station will continue to broadcast the latest news for you."

"..."

The sunken cruise ship was named Magic.

Just like its name, in all the news, there were only some still photos of it when it was intact, each one a perfect wallpaper, full of magic, attracting people's yearning.

Only missing was all content related to its sinking process.

Everything was deliberately hidden.

Robert pinched the bridge of his nose, trying to suppress the annoying irritability.

"Still controlling information?"

The existence of the Foundation and numerous other anomalous organizations was no longer a secret, and the world even knew that there were many incredible things in this world, and occasionally appearing anomalies were also content that people talked about with relish.

But this did not mean that the public could accept the gloomy and cruel side of the world.

Especially the fact that the end of the world was near.

The capable agent stopped his wild thoughts, moved the mouse, and replayed the unprocessed raw footage.
