"We need to know the truth about the state of our relatives in Jerusalem. What's happening, and why isn't the government doing anything?"
"We want answers!"
"We won't move from this place until we know our families are okay."
Rafael looked at these people outside the presidency with a reassuring expression, his gaze hardened by the battles he had faced all this time.
"The curious thing about all these people is how they demand to know the truth. Everyone is brave when they are ignorant, but once that door to an unknown world is opened, there is no turning back."
A young agent approached and asked, "Is it necessary to reveal the truth?"
"It's not serious at all. We won't reveal everything, and only what we say will have a scientific basis. If we gradually mold humanity, everyone will be ready when the holy war comes."

In a café in New Zealand, John was having a coffee while watching the television, and suddenly the broadcast was interrupted. "We interrupt your program for a worldwide announcement."
"It looks like it's about to start." John murmured as he stood up.
Now that Anton had decided to reveal the truth, there was no reason to stay here. The agents who had entered were ready to be deployed, so now he would have to travel.
The moment part of the truth was known, there would be uncontrollable chaos, which would spark a lot of discussion worldwide.
…
Anton walked to a stage where a dozen microphones and at least twenty cameras were pointed at him, all broadcasting live.
"The rumors about a war in Jerusalem have spread like wildfire worldwide after you all received messages from your relatives days ago."
Anton's voice was clear, deep, and with the precise control of words that only a leader could have.
"Many of the families currently waiting to know if their relatives are safe are doing everything possible to get your answers, and believe me, I respect that. However, you have no idea what we are doing to ensure those families do not suffer a loss."
"There is no doubt that there is a very serious problem in Jerusalem, but we must remain calm. This is not the fault of any ruling government, and what we must do is defend ourselves with everything we have against a new enemy that has emerged from nowhere."
At that moment, many were asking what Anton was talking about and what was putting their families in danger. It was obvious something was wrong, but Anton's next words left everyone frozen.
"Approximately a few days ago, we discovered a new type of enemy that is killing all humans they encounter, and we are doing everything we can to exterminate them."
Anton took a deep breath and gave the signal for the completely real image to be shown to everyone on their screens. "What you are seeing is a monster mutated in the body of a human, and we can scientifically prove that it is a new virus extracted from a sarcophagus that we estimate is over 50,000 years old."
"We have all read stories about demons in the Bible and religions outside of it. I can tell you with certainty that whatever the history of the past and our ancestors, we are doing everything we can to win."
