Chapter 80: Resurrection (1)
Deep beneath the Babel Police Department headquarters, the air inside the sealed conference room was cold and still.
A blue-tinted hologram screen hovered above the steel table, streaming lines of complex data in an endless cascade.
Blake stood in front of the hologram, swallowing dryly as he continued the final briefing.
His voice remained calm, but the fatigue on his face was undeniable.
“...Based on all evidence collected so far, it appears that both the Puppet Strings case and the recent incident inside Hexa Core Armory were orchestrated by the same organization.”
The people gathered in the conference room listened to Blake’s explanation in silence.
But among them, actual Babel Police Department personnel were few.
Everyone else appeared to be affiliated with Hexa Core Armory.
Their pristine suits and measured demeanor were a stark contrast to the senior BPD officials Blake was used to dealing with.
The only reason Blake was giving this unusual presentation was because Hexa Core Armory had demanded it.
A few days earlier, after the Hexa Core civil war ended in an unexpected fashion, they realized that Puppet Strings was involved in the incident’s background.
They approached BPD with partial data from the case, demanding related intelligence on Puppet Strings.
