683 Geologists’ predictions
Although Lushan Sect, as a major branch of Jingming Sect, believes in the same gods as Jingming Zhongxiao Dao, and both sects respect Xu Zhenjun as their founder, the difference between the two is that Jingming Zhongxiao Dao is based on
Morals and ethics are the main focus, and they pursue the doctrine of loyalty, filial piety, and salvation, while the Lushan sect mainly practices spells and spells, and also practices many witchcraft and spells. The latter is more like a recruited folk dharma lineage, which not only has many branches
, also believe in many local gods.
Therefore, as a descendant of the Meishan sect, a branch of the Lushan sect, and a contemporary senior brother, Ma Yonggui's path of practice is naturally more biased towards primitive witchcraft than ordinary Taoist disciples.
A conclusion reached after a brief exchange with the other party.
As the Xie family comes from a sideline folk tradition, many of their spells are derived from witchcraft and sorcery, and they have many common topics with practitioners like Ma Yonggui.
While Xie Zihao and others were exploring the situation beneath the Yellowstone Volcano, a conversation related to the Yellowstone Volcano was also taking place in Billings, the "big city" closest to Yellowstone Park in the southern part of the Fortune State.
The Department of Homeland Security is set up in a conference room of the Billings branch. Mike Binns, who is dressed in a black suit that is most common among federal employees, looks very gentlemanly. He still looks like a middle-aged agent with a gentle smile.
He was having a friendly exchange with Rose Anderson and several other agents, as well as an elderly scholar sitting across from him who was obviously dressed differently from these federal agents.
In fact, the old man dressed as this scholar is not too old, probably in his fifties, and he does not suffer from the baldness that white people, especially the Angsa people, must go through after they reach middle age. Although he has brown and black hair.
A little messy, but very dense.
This is a man of Latino and Aboriginal descent, Ricardo Alvarez, who immigrated to the Commonwealth with his parents in his early years. He later became a Ph.D. in geology and taught at the University of Kansas.
Dr. Alvarez is also an expert on Yellowstone volcanoes and is the North American geologist who has published the most articles on Yellowstone volcanoes.
The previous articles calling on the government and the public to be wary of the Yellowstone volcano crisis were written by him.
The reason why this branch is set up in Billings instead of the capital of Montana is because it is the closest place to Yellowstone Park that can be called a big city, and compared to Helena, which is further away, there are only two cities.
The capital of Montana, a state of wealth with over 10,000 people, Billings, with a permanent population of nearly 100,000, is undoubtedly the largest city in Montana.
How else to say that the Federation or the North American continent is vast and sparsely populated?
Compared with the densely populated east coast and the west coast of the Golden State, the central and western parts of the federation, especially states like Montana, Wyoming and Idaho that are mainly agricultural and animal husbandry, usually have tens of thousands of people in one place.
The city.
"Dr. Alvarez, regarding the Yellowstone Volcano, you are the federal expert on this matter. What I am asking, or what I want to know above is, is there really a risk of the Yellowstone Volcano erupting?"
There were slight marks on the clothes on his body, and Ricardo Alvarez, who looked like he was not so refined in life, shook his hands nervously, and then said:
"Agent Binns, I have mentioned this issue in my published articles. The probability of Yellowstone volcano erupting is not a matter of big or small, but once it erupts, what will happen to the entire North America?
It is said that it will be a catastrophe, and even the whole world will be greatly affected!"
"Of course, according to my personal speculation, the probability of the Yellowstone Volcano erupting around 2000 is at least 70%, especially since the federal monitoring agency here has detected three movements of underground volcanoes in recent months.
, although they said it was a normal geological change, I can feel that something is waking up down here!"
As he spoke, Dr. Alvarez couldn't help showing a strange expression of anxiety, fear, excitement, and even a little piety on his face.
Rose Anderson on the side suddenly asked:
"Dr. Alvarez, do you mean some kind of precognition by feeling?"
Ricardo Alvarez said with a little pride in his tone:
"You should know that my ancestors have the blood of the Takahashi people, so I also have the blood of the aborigines of the New World. The Yellowstone Volcano is said to be the place where the great Quetzalcoatl sleeps, and there is also the curse left by the aboriginal priests.
, it seems that my bloodline gives me the ability to communicate with God, and I got a prediction that the Yellowstone volcano is about to erupt!"
Based on this doctor's rhetoric, it's no wonder that many scientific research institutions and government departments regard him as an alarmist liar or a delirious lunatic.
Moreover, although various cults are rampant in the society in the Federation, on the surface everyone still respects the Illuminati Cult. Pagans like Alvarez who openly promote themselves are definitely targets of rejection. In addition, he is from South America.
He is of aboriginal ancestry and cannot be said to be an old Confederate with upright roots, so it is not surprising that it is difficult to join the top circles in the high-end academic field.
However, the Special Investigation Bureau is completely different. They are responsible for investigating paranormal incidents in the Federation. They have recorded many similar situations. They are professional in handling these and have a high accuracy rate in distinguishing whether what the target says is true or false.
So Mike Binns and Rose Anderson, the former partners, looked at each other and understood the meaning in each other's eyes.
The two of them cooperated tacitly, and Binsi asked again:
"I should say that Dr. Alvarez, your words can easily arouse doubts among ordinary people. However, as the Department of Homeland Security's specialized agency to deal with such mysterious incidents, I think we can verify the authenticity of your words, Doctor."
"Really?"
Ricardo Alvarez couldn't help but stood up in surprise.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! You must know that since he proposed this point of view, it can be said that most people think he is crazy, and even the university where he originally taught found an excuse to fire him.
Who said that he was just a Ph.D. in geology who graduated from a second-rate university? Such people are not considered top talents. Not only are they everywhere in the Federation, but at least they are many compared to those with higher-level Ph.D.s in physics, biology, etc.
Because geology itself is not a popular subject in the world, and he has not yet been able to obtain a professorship, this makes the value of his doctorate even lower.
So on the one hand, because of the prophecy he had in his midnight dream, he wanted to make the situation known to the public so that people in North America could prepare for disasters. On the other hand, he also wanted to gain academic status. Once his knowledge was verified,
Presumably, he will soon become the most famous geologist in North America and even the world.
That way it would be easy to get a professorship. Fame, money, house, and women would all come to you.
In other words, Ricardo is patriotic towards the White Eagle Federation, but not too much.
In essence, he is an academic speculator.
However, after experiencing so many failures and setbacks, Ricardo Alvarez himself wanted to give up. Unexpectedly, these agents from the Department of Homeland Security found him at this time.
Yes, some people pretended to be the FBI and made the Department of Homeland Security a victim. However, we are all federal agencies and we are brother departments. I think people from those departments should understand.
Strange!
