《Doomsday Pillars》42.The Doomsday Festival
Advertisement
Singapore, 23 December
Since morning many people already gathered. The Randals pulled some strings and suddenly turn the street of Singapore into some sort of Doomsday Festival. It's very crowded... thousands of people walk down the street. There are 3 main groups.
The doomsday preppers, this is the community of people who believe the end of days is inevitable. They are preparing not IF the doomsday happens but WHEN it will happen. The viral video makes them feel finally they are right... These are the total believer.
The second group is the religious community that preaches about the coming of doomsday and told people to repent.
The third group is the biggest in number. its the cosplayer, this is the groups who came just for the fun of it. Mainly they came wearing zombie makeup and costume. Some famous character can be seen; like the white walker, Alice from resident evil, vampire costume, up until the spiderman costume.
The Randall's prepare hundreds of crew on the street of Singapore. They are handing out flyers of tips on surviving doomsday, free food and drink stand even giving out merchandise. The Randall's preparing this as the last favor for Alex. The objective is not to turn the people into a believer, but just to turn this day into another viral news all around the world. So the message could be heard by more people. The next few days this festival would become trending news and many local stations start creating their own content about what to prepare if doomsday does happen.
The climax of the festival started when the Harvard Professor walks up to the prepared stage in the garden by the bay and start to talk about his findings. Although most of them are scripted texts made by Alex. The main messages are:
1. Prepare food and supplies
2. Stay at home do not go out on vehicles especially airplanes.
3. Burn the deceased
4. Help each other
5. Find refuge in a structure that would appear in a few months.

This festival is very important for Alex, but he actually has another gathering that he and the Randalls prepared later that night. This one is an invitation-only gathering. Most of the one invited is world leader, organization representative, rich and powerful figure. Out of 500 plus invitation, only half of them send their representative. If it's not because the Randalls famous name or the rumor of miraculous medicine it will be lucky if even 10% of them came.
The gathering venue is the Esplanade theater. 1,950-seat theatre is modeled on traditional horseshoe-shaped performance arenas. It has 30 private balconies that could fit a 4-8 person group. 250 invites each with their own entourage, assistant and bodyguard totaled more than 1500 guest.
Kenny, CIA junior analyst also came with an invite. He actually came with no expectation. But his mission is still clear, prepare accurate threat assessment. Kenny comes with his small team of 8, half went inside as guest to scout and the other half stay outside inside a big van with their high tech gadgets.
"The security of this event is top notch, the intel said the Randalls family organizing this event. It seems he really put an effort to it. I wonder what kind of guest would show up" " I will send you some picture Bravo Team, tell me who they are" Kenny sending pictures with his phone to the team on the van.
"Kenji Shima, Japan Chairperson of the National Public Safety Commission"
"Park Ji, North Korea minister of Defense"
"Rajesh, India ministry of external affair",
"General Jorge, South African National Defence Force"
"Jurgen, Isreali high-rank Mossad"
"Senator Arnold from the United States"
"Wow there are many VIP confirmed participating in this events"
"That is the Zhao sisters, from the Chinese Big 4, even they also came, I think this event is more serious than it seems to be, I should recalculate the threat assessment"
"..."
"The Philippines president, Dominique just enter with his entourage"

"..."
"Cardinal Strauss, from the Vatican, came with dozen of people, this getting weirder..."
"Agent Kenny, there are two men behind the cardinal who is on the CIA most wanted list"
"..."
"This is already beyond our capacity, we should call back up for this"
"!!!"
"Who are you? you cannot come in here!!, agent Kenny we have been compromised"
"!!!"
"What? Bravo Team!! Halo!!"
A moment later a beautiful woman came closer to agent Kenny, don't worry about your team agent, they are fine, we currently can't let you jeopardize our event, please our leader like to see you."
The venue is currently almost full. Not long after the venue lights are dimmed and the stage light is on. The announcement will start soon. 2 person walk into the center stage, Harvard professor John and a middle age normal looking guy. The professor took a sit on the side and the guy walk to the center podium.
"Welcome everyone, thank you for coming to this gathering. I assure you that you will not regret coming here today. My name is Alex and I am the facilitator of this gathering" I will not waste your precious time with history lessons, all of the professor findings will be email to you and can be read later. I know most of you do not believe in the doomsday message. I am currently asking each of you to just be a little open-minded and asking what is possible and what is impossible"
"I will start with what you most interested with, this little stone called spirit stone" Alex took out one spirit stone and show it to the audience. "Many of you name it a miraculous medicine and thought it was made in the Randal's Lab. The existence of miraculous stone is it possible or impossible?"
"I will tell you that this is possible. this stone does have miraculous power. Please let me welcome Mr. James Randal to the stage" James walk up to the stage on his two feet. Many people in this room know James and know about his sickness, seeing him walking up all healthy make them a bit more curious about the stone. They now believe that James Randal did make a breakthrough in medical science. The existence of miraculous stone really does seems to be possible."
"Now, what about if this stone is not made by Mr. Randall lab, in fact, it's not made in any lab. is this possible or not possible?" As Scripted by Alex, James walks up and told the audience that the stone, in fact, was given by Alex. The audience gasp... " it's not possible they thought"
Alex took a few of the stones and show it to them, and then he called out the backstage and two guy walks to the center of the stage. One is a sickly person, the second one is Kenny the CIA analyst.
"This is agent Kenny form the CIA, one of the guest come by our invite" Alex ask Kenny to check the sickly person next to him, this guy seems to be lack of proper nourishment. After given the stone this sickly person has the power of special forces soldier. This demonstration really piques the interest of the audience.
"Let be open-minded and start to think on other type possibility and impossibility". Alex asks the agent to draw his gun and took aim to him and shoot.
"BANG"
Suddenly a rock golem shows up in front of Alex and deflecting the bullet. The people really shocked about this. "Dimensional storage space item and the golem, is this possible or impossible?"
Relic with power beyond human dream and spirit stone that could push the boundaries of the human body. These things are impossible things that become possible. "Now, will it be possible or impossible if I say that I have fortunate encounter and manage to peek the event of years to come?"
possible or impossible?
