Chapter 1104 Brainwashed

After the release of the video exposing the spies, the direction of public opinion changed once again and they were no longer condemning Su Jing, and the United States quickly responded, claiming, "Those three individuals are not spies of the Central Intelligence Agency of the United States, and the video is fabricated. Someone is maliciously smearing the name of the United States."

However, people are not fools, and world leaders are even less so. Only a few people believed in the United States' narrative, while the majority did not. 

After all, the video did not appear to be staged like a movie; it had a high degree of authenticity. Additionally, the identities revealed by the three spies and the secret information about the Central Intelligence Agency were highly credible.

The information claiming that the Peak Science and Technology Research Institute was producing Antimatter, as stated by the United States, naturally deepened with a lot of suspicions. 

Although people from various countries did not immediately turn into supporters of China or the Peak Science and Technology Research Institute, they at least started to doubt the intentions of the United States and chose to observe the situation before taking a stand.

In a research facility in Russia:

A middle-aged man was programming while occasionally glancing at some documents on the table. 

At that moment, his phone rang, and when he checked the message on it, his pupils suddenly contracted. He quickly went online and saw the video released by the three American spies, and one of the revealed spy names was his current alias.

The middle-aged man quickly surveyed the research being conducted by others in the laboratory and the discussions taking place, but no one paid attention to him. 

Without batting an eyelid, he swiftly copied all the data from his computer onto a USB drive, organized his documents, and packed them into a briefcase.

Then, carrying the briefcase, he walked out of the laboratory. His pace was slightly faster, but he didn't appear flustered to avoid arousing suspicion. 

He descended the stairs, passed through the lobby, and was about to reach the exit when he noticed a group of security guards rushing in. As soon as they saw him, they immediately rushed towards him.

The expression on the middle-aged man's face changed, and he hastily tried to escape. However, he was quickly surrounded by numerous security guards. After a brief and short struggle, he was eventually brought down by an electric stun gun.

Meanwhile, a similar scene was unfolding in the United Kingdom. The difference was that the American spy there had realized his exposure earlier and went into hiding. After a thorough investigation, the United Kingdom discovered his true identity and began pursuing him.

Although it was not uncommon for one country to have spies infiltrate another country, Russia and the United Kingdom would not drastically change their relationship with the United States because of this. 

Strategic cooperation would still continue. However, based on this development, they could now be completely certain that the three individuals in the released video were indeed American spies. 

Therefore, they no longer believed the claim made by the United States about the Peak Science and Technology Research Institute producing Antimatter.

"What the hell is going on with these three idiots?" In the Central Intelligence Agency of the United States, the Bureau Chief watched the video posted online again and was filled with anger. 

He was on the verge of smashing his computer as he spoke. "Didn't China launch a manhunt against them? Weren't they supposed to be unable to return temporarily? How did they suddenly come back and betray us?"

"This must be China's doing," The middle-aged man standing in front of him said nervously because those three individuals were his subordinates.

"How the hell did you manage your subordinates? How could they be so easily controlled by China in such a short time? What use are such spies?" The Bureau Chief said coldly.

"I have sent people to apprehend them and try to mitigate the damage they caused," The middle-aged man said.

The anger of the Central Intelligence Agency of the United States was evident. This pursuit had a significant impact, and they quickly located the three betraying spies. After a chase, they finally captured them.

However, what they didn't realize was that the entire pursuit process had been filmed clearly by a lightning-fast phantom holding a pinhole camera.

Subsequently, the video spread online, showcasing the entire pursuit: how the agents surrounded and pursued the three individuals from the video, from all directions, each and every detail of it was captured vividly.

Internet users from various countries were greatly entertained by watching the video. They felt like they were watching an action movie, except it wasn't staged— it was real combat. Simultaneously, the identities of the three spies were further confirmed.

While people around the world found it exhilarating, the United States government, the National Security Agency, and the Central Intelligence Agency were increasingly frustrated, and they began to feel that they were being toyed with.

They could only persist in telling lies and continue to claim that the videos were fabricated with malicious intent. Meanwhile, they intensified their interrogation of the three traitors.

"What's happening with them?" Three individuals, two men and one woman, sat in a prison cell wearing handcuffs while the Bureau Chief and several interrogators watched them from outside. 

The mirror was one-way reflective, preventing the view from the inside while allowing observation from the outside.

"They've been insisting that the Central Intelligence Agency didn't fulfill their promised rewards, so they decided to retaliate," A middle-aged woman said.

"They... seem to have been brainwashed," Another middle-aged man sighed helplessly as he spoke.

"Brainwashing is something we understand. It's not easy, especially for specially selected agents, to be completely brainwashed in such a short time," The Bureau Chief of the Central Intelligence Agency of the United States furrowed his brows as he spoke.

"We find it strange as well."

"Wake them up as soon as possible, or brainwash them again. They don't need to revert to their previous intelligence; they just need to say a few words to deny the contents of the previous video. That will be enough," The Bureau Chief said.

"Yes," The other people in the room nodded and were preparing to take action.

Just then, the three individuals in the prison cell started convulsing. After a few twitches, they all opened their mouths, stuck out their tongues, and made a hissing sound.

"What the hell is happening to them?" The Bureau Chief furrowed his brows when he saw this scene. They quickly called medical personnel to examine the three individuals, fearing that they might have ingested poison.

The examination revealed that the three were unharmed and not poisoned. However, during the process, they became even strangers. They suddenly prostrated themselves on the ground, clasped their hands together, and started wriggling and crawling like snakes.
