Summon investigators from all over the world to New York?

Zong Yan sat up in his bed with a jolt. His fingers kept swiping the screen.

The seriousness of the situation was beyond what he'd imagined.

News media all over the world were reporting on the conditions in New York. Zong Yan hurriedly scanned the stories. The photos showed all of New York City shrouded in a dark, oppressive fog. Not a single light was visible through the gloom. It was a disturbing sight.

To make matters worse, the black fog continued to spread. Philadelphia and Boston, which were close to New York, were now affected by the same phenomenon.

So far, no one knew if the black fog might have other effects. The World Health Organization collected samples for testing. While they didn't observe any adverse impacts on the human body, they also hadn't found a way to disperse the fog.

Currently the world's media attributed all of the strange phenomena to the nuclear power plant leak that happened near New York. However, a few third-rate tabloids had begun to claim that these were signs of the biblical apocalypse.

Three or four days had passed since the nuclear power plant leak, and almost the entire population of New York City had already chosen to evacuate.

But New York was the financial heart and lifeblood of the United States, so after symbolically listing the areas that needed to evacuate, the governor didn't force the inhabitants to leave.

The nuclear power plant accident was a blow to the international image of the United States. However, every member of Congress was well aware that the problem was actually related to the occult world. They weren't interested in roiling the financial markets over such a small matter.

Even with the evacuation order, they were able to manage world public opinion until the morning of the next day.

When the sun rose over North America, the entire continent was bathed in sunlight—except for New York City, which remained in unending darkness.

This mysterious phenomenon was reported all over the world. Simultaneously, reporters from Europe unearthed a few blurred photos previously shot in New York. That was how news began to spread of biological mutations caused by nuclear radiation.

At least, that was how ordinary people understood the story. As a member of the occult world, Zong Yan knew how close it was to the truth.

There was nothing more urgent than a gold notice issued by the Spire Council.

Zong Yan anxiously logged into WeChat, looked at He Yuan's circle of friends, then tapped the registration button in the MU app.

He was now the tenth Monarch. The greater his power, the greater his responsibility, and Zong Yan was the only person who understood his true level. He was more effective than a dozen Monarchs.

Although the disaster was in another country, there was only one human race. Politics wasn't a concern of the occult world.

He Yuan had returned from the Middle East a long time ago. In the picture he'd just posted, he was clearly in front of the landmark Empire State Building in New York.

The guy never concealed a thing from his circle of friends.

With that as an excuse, the rest was easy.

"I have to go save the world. Right now New York is in danger. As the tenth Monarch, it's my duty to leave."

Zong Yan's thoughts were full of righteousness, and his face brimmed with wholehearted sincerity, frankness, and honesty.
