After venting her emotions, Catherine gradually regained her composure. There was no point in making a ruckus. The primary goal now was to find any clues that the other party had missed, so as to find a breakthrough.
“I’m currently in the middle of Times Square.”
“Very good. Thank you for your cooperation, Godmother. To be honest, letting me, the lowest-ranking member of my sect, command you really makes me feel bad.”
“Stop laughing.”
“I’m sorry.” The person on the other end seemed to realize his mistake.
“Forget it, I’m already used to it anyway.”
“Please let me know when you’re connected to the public information network. I’ll put a data packet containing a Trojan virus in. That way, we’ll know immediately where these people were hiding when they make their religious declaration.”
The moment the largest clock in Times Square pointed to the Roman number “12”, all the digital billboards in Times Square seemed to have been taken over. They flashed at the same time and then turned into blue screens as if they had been infected by a virus.
“They’ve made their move, Godmother. The only thing you need to worry about now is to keep your laptop connected to the public network. Only then can you track the IP address of the other party. If you really catch this group of people, don’t kill them immediately. We need them to catch the mastermind behind this.”
“Don’t worry, I know what to do.”
After seven or eight minutes, the blue screen on the digital billboards disappeared and was replaced by a cult member in a white Daoist robe.
“Hello, fellow citizens.” The girl on the screen appeared normal.
She was dressed in a snow-white Daoist robe, a white veil, and spoke through a voice-filter. Obviously, the other party was well-equipped and sophisticated. It did not seem like something an inexperienced person would do.
“We are your allies. We pursue faith, and we hate lethargy. Lethargy erodes brave and beautiful people and causes them to lose the motivation to move forward. We hate ignorance. The innocent may be framed by others, but the ignorant will be sent to the abyss! We hate the darkness. Although we pray devoutly in the night to bring for the dawn of the next day, the darkness before the dawn must be borne by someone.”
The girl on the public screen became more and more agitated as she spoke. She did not even notice that her beautiful hair had come loose and was now hanging behind her head.
That golden hair seemed somewhat familiar to Catherine.
This provocative way of speaking, this beautiful golden hair, coupled with this person’s general figure and stature… It was very likely that she had met her somewhere before.
The woman in the billboard was full of vigor, but looking the actions of the woman when she made the declaration, as well as the arrogant tone when she said these words…
“… Millie?” Catherine muttered to herself with a puzzled tone.
“I’m sorry, Godmother. What did you say just now?”
“Her silhouette looks like a person I hate. Her figure, this way of speaking, and this arrogant and domineering tone… It really sounds similar.”
“If you think it’s necessary, I’ll do a comparison for you at the end of the recording. Of course, the prerequisite is for you to provide me with the audio and video of that person’s way of speaking.”
“I don’t think it’s necessary. I’m 80% sure that the person who incited the public to join their cult is Millie Kate, the new family member of the Kate family. But then again, the focus of our work this time is not on her. There’s no need to stay here and waste our time. How’s your progress?”
“Going as planned, Godmother.”
“Do me a favor, will you?”
“Uh… Go ahead.”
“I want you to help me hack these billboards and get rid of those crazy heretics.”
“Please forgive me, Godmother. I may not be able to do it. But I can amplify your signal to the big screen so that you can remove the noisy, monotonous portrait.”
