I, Doctor in the US

"Shit!"

McMahon was lucky; he only suffered minor injuries.

But at this moment, he couldn't help but swear.

It really wasn't his fault; anyone would find it hard to endure.

He was the lucky one, but his subordinate Steve wasn't so fortunate.

While investigating Bishop, everything was going pretty well at the beginning.

But something happened, and that Bishop suddenly started acting strange.

Hmm... on careful reflection, it seemed like Steve discovered something.

And as for that discovery... McMahon still had no idea what it was.

But right after that discovery, things suddenly turned sour over there.

Hmm... no.

It should be said that at that instant, only Bishop turned sour.

What did that feeling resemble at the time?

Oh, right.

It was as if a demon possessed someone in a movie.

The type of demonic possession you see in Europe and America horror films, not the kind in "Infiltration" that shone at the Sundance Film Festival.

Overall, it was quite similar.

But even so, McMahon hadn't entered into combat mode at the time.

For one, it was too quick.

And partly because he knew what was up with that Bishop.

A cult leader suddenly seemed to be possessed by a demon.

It sounded surprisingly normal.

Okay, thinking from a normal perspective, cults are abnormal, cult leaders are abnormal, and it seems natural for a cult leader to be possessed. But since everything is abnormal, then it's actually normal.

Consistent abnormality is also a form of normality.

McMahon genuinely thought it was normal at the time, but as he was still thinking so.

Things nearly turned catastrophic next.

Steve was directly attacked, with Bishop, as if possessed, launching a full-blown assault on Steve.

Even biting with his teeth.

Steve was dumbfounded at the time, and once he reacted... at the end of the day, he was still an agent.

Bishop's sudden change might have been startling, but, in the end, he was just a cult leader.

When Bishop was knocked down, the Descent Sect followers on site retaliated right away.

After all, McMahon and Steve were FBI, so, in the beginning, the Descent Sect people didn't have guns.

But there were a lot of them.

A flurry of punches and kicks, and Steve was in trouble.

Once McMahon pulled out a gun, those followers also drew their guns.

The situation changed in an instant.

What came next... the news reports definitely had to blur some parts.

After all, it was a big deal.

Involving a highly influential sect.

Not easy to deal with in the United States.

But the result was... Steve is now in the hospital. After resuscitation, the doctors said his condition is not good.

As for McMahon, he was also injured, with his head grazed by a stray bullet. Luckily, God blessed him, and he didn't die.

As for other areas, there were two knife wounds on his arm.

To dare to resist the FBI with such violence, it's no mean case.

But what McMahon didn't expect at all...

The higher-ups seem to want to suppress it a bit.

It must be that bastard Bishop, who found some influential figures!

Come to think of it, this guy appeared at the Democratic Party conference.

He must have some serious connections.

McMahon couldn't swallow this anger.

But his superior also raised a very realistic question.

"Why didn't you take this guy down on the spot? Now he's fled back to California!"

This...

Shit!

How could we have had the strength to take down a cult leader on the spot?

However, his superior wasn't entirely wrong either.

If it were in Utah, it would've been easier to handle.

Now that Bishop's back in California, with his strong influence over there, surely many people are protecting him.

Bastard!

McMahon was really... he is a patriot, but handling cases, especially with the FBI, he encountered many tough ones, not short of several disgusting or whatever cases.

In general, he's seen too much of the ugliness and dark sides of this country.

Sometimes he even thought he might as well become a bad guy.

However, life goes on, doesn't it?

McMahon still believed that there would be further progress in this case.

It's just that it might require waiting.

Just as he was thinking so, a fierce-looking DEA captain suddenly came to him.

"Drug test? From... oh, I get it!"

That captain was, of course, Hank.

FBI and DEA... actually, in reality, they don't collaborate much.

Especially in many cases in the United States, drugs are frequently involved.

Grabbing credit is common.

But, there's no issue with the two sides collaborating.

They could truly be considered colleagues.

FBI stands higher than those city police or state police, but it's on par with DEA.

And Captain Hank's proposal was indeed excellent!

If we can't continue the investigation on the case, can't we test for drugs?

We do a drug test, could they be scared?

If they were scared, wouldn't that just prove there's a problem!

The key is!

Recalling Bishop's state at the time... it indeed seemed like he was on drugs.

So, he went to convince his boss!

After some deliberation, the boss agreed...

Investigate! Drug test!

Just go test the Descent Sect!

However, the boss said, don't test Bishop, he's hard to handle.

Thus, McMahon teamed up with Hank.

They brought quite a few subordinates and went straight to San Francisco.

So, what was the outcome?

...

Irvine.

Zhou Mo Sen was going through a stack of documents.

Admittedly, Zhao Ying was something, getting her position as Senator.

Her capability for action was indeed strong.

The documents included a lot of 'evidence' against Descent Sect, economic and some religious aspects, etc.

In any case, Bishop has committed no shortage of crimes.

Hmm... from some perspective.

Actually, wanting to succeed in America often involves engaging in some illegal activities; it's considered quite normal.

Capital has been bloody from top to bottom.

So, to Zhou Mo Sen, if you want to use this evidence to take down the Descent Sect...

Estimating a lawsuit would be very difficult.

No need to say, Zhao Ying surely has a backup plan.

Zhou Mo Sen's guess was likely spot-on.

But he's back now, isn't he?

The phone rang.

"Dr. Zhou, you should come to the clinic and start working, right?"

Dr. Uchida.

Upon hearing her voice, Zhou Mo Sen inexplicably got a headache.

Mainly because, indeed, Dr. Zhou felt guilty for being absent from the clinic for too long.

But he had his reasons.

"Didn't we agree on a New Year's holiday?"

Well, he gave himself a holiday for almost a month?

Sundance Film Festival, roughly that span.

One could imagine Dr. Uchida's expression.

Then next...

"Dr. Zhou..."

Just then, another call came in.

"I have official business."

Indeed, he had to hang up because the call was from Hank.

As Zhou Mo Sen took Hank's call, his expression changed instantly.

"What? All tested positive!?"

No, they tested for drugs, but the results showed those guys were upstanding citizens, not drug addicts.

This... how could it be!

"I'll head to San Francisco right away!"
