A Vatican Secret

"May all who have died today rest in peace." Anton said this while standing outside the interrogation office.

A disaster like this required meticulous work to be concealed, as any slight mistake would make people think the government caused this tragedy in which hundreds of people had died.

"Do we have it under control?" Anton asked, walking towards where Rafael was.

"We can control it; we could tell the world that these people all died at the same time and belonged to some kind of sect." Rafael said, thinking about how they would cover up these deaths.

"That sounds good. Let the analysts think about that plan, and if they believe they have a better one, they can propose it within the next fifteen hours. We already have enough with cleaning up this mess; I just hope what happened here won't be questioned." Anton walked away to clear his mind.

When he stepped outside the police station, he looked at all those ambulances, men working to help those who had survived, and obviously, the agents of light checking for more victims.

Everything had been controlled as much as possible.

"Remove the charred bodies as soon as possible; that is alarming people too much. They'll be more at ease knowing there haven't been many deaths; at least that will help us maintain order." Anton said, looking at Alexander, who was still helping people.

Shaking his head, he went straight to a hotel that was currently empty, entered a room, and closed the curtains so that the afternoon light wouldn't bother him.

At that moment, he looked at the rewards he had obtained on this mission.

Looking at his statistics, things had changed a bit, but this was indifferent to him; nothing he had would win a battle quickly, and that also didn't prevent losses.

Now that he had much power, he continued to lose, so there was no reason to rejoice.

Just as Anton was about to go to sleep, a call made him sit back on the bed. "Is something wrong, Father?"

"There's a case I want you to investigate in Spain. Do you remember the last time I was in that country? Well, it turns out that an infection from a possessed individual that the Vatican concealed for personal investigations has been identified in a building in the middle of a city."

Anton remained silent, processing the information, and asked, "Don't you trust the people in that country?"

"I trust my son; you need to travel immediately to solve that problem and make sure the infection doesn't spread." Sebastian said before hanging up the call.

Anton stood up and walked to the exit, where Rafael had come to inform him. "Have you received the report?"

"We have it; we'll travel to Barcelona right away."

Anton walked to the helicopter that was landing, and along with Alexander, they roared away from this place within minutes.

They didn't take long to reach an airport where a private jet, one of the fastest, was waiting for them.

Boarding, they all closed their eyes to try and rest their minds; the journey lasted at least six hours, so they needed to rest and replenish energy.

Very little was known about the issue; there was information that a disease had erupted in a building after a reporter and a group of firefighters had gone there due to an emergency.

It is known that all the building's residents have died; at least fifty deaths are estimated, and they are all now acting strangely.

Despite its supernatural origins, the demon virus is described as a common virus in human blood.

The moment symptoms appear varies depending on blood type; some people immediately turn into bloodthirsty creatures, while others take some time to languish before the virus takes effect.

The possessed body can be stopped by religious forces like reciting scriptures, usually evoked by a priest.

The demon Medeiros manifests when forced religiously, in a ritual similar to an exorcism. They also manifest the unsettling ability to mimic the voices of others to deceive and attack their victims.
