It took Li Lin a few seconds to realize where this person came from—space jump, a specialty of the Americas branch, which is useless to people without real power.

He wanted to turn around and see the reaction of the group of dignitaries, but quickly held back and said, "What brings you here..."

“The control mission for 252 and Pandora is over. You'll be in charge of the cleanup,” Sheen said directly.

He paused, opened his lips twice, and quickly processed the whole situation in a short time: "Madam, I don't understand what you mean... The control of those two active contraindications may not be taken over by outsiders."

Sheen sighed and approached him. There were still some bloodstains on her neck, indicating that she had just come from the battlefield. Those few red spots stood out against the black dress.

“Listen, I’m not your enemy, and things have come to this point, you can’t worry about anything else,” she said.

"I traded some terminal access for their lives. The bunch of idiots behind you... of course they know about this, but they've already taken the benefits, so they can't say anything to me. I rushed over here to prevent you from doing anything that might confuse things."

After she finished speaking, she took a step forward, nodded reassuringly to Li Lin, and joined the empty salon.

"They have an hour to prepare. They're in the control room now. Whatever they want to say, whatever they want to say, they should do it as soon as possible."

The observers in Los Angeles were all dead, all the surveillance videos were blacked out, and the higher-ups were telling the public that everything was fine, just that they had encountered a hacker attack.

As for Sheen… no one noticed how she suddenly disappeared. She's always been a bit crazy; she made a deal with Krauser, who agreed almost without hesitation. Anyway, the situation is so chaotic right now, they don't need to worry about much. The powerful are all busy cleaning up the mess; those people have no time for anything else.

When Pandora and 252 met her, Sheen brought her a brand-new special weapon, which she accepted without hesitation. He Yu wouldn't like their reckless behavior, but she figured that at this point, he certainly wouldn't say anything. In Jerusalem, children her age had already taken dozens of lives, and the same was true in the outside world—she was similar to everyone here; when driven to desperation, she would inevitably fire a shot.

Li Lin stood in the suddenly quiet room for a while, feeling that something was brewing, but he wasn't sure what it was. However, he was also very certain that the situation had improved.

He took a breath, glanced at the time, and walked straight outside.

There are still many things to deal with.

—According to that woman, he had to get there before the mission started to see them… He hadn’t seen them many times since the end of 346’s control, and Yu Jianchu always handled everything himself; he was too lazy to get involved.

But now, as he climbed into the car, he turned to look out the window. The car sped forward, flanked by operatives who had just returned or were heading off to fight somewhere. Further on, the scene stretched out like a vast river that had submerged Eoubs. On the display screen in the lobby, the inscription, as always, read "For All Mankind." Yes, this place was, frankly, a paradise that made great contributions to humanity.

Fifteen minutes later, the car came to a stop, and he got out. Midway through the ride, Li Lin started nervously popping hallucinogenic pills into his mouth, one after another, until he entered the area and searched for the two people.

He found them in no time; after all, no one could ignore those two.

They stood at the door of the control room—surrounded by a group of people, one of whom, C05, was explaining with a pained expression that the device was custom-made and would have to be remade if broken—while the "guest" was looking at the information on the floating screen, occasionally offering a few comments, mostly cursing.

Pandora was gesturing to 252. For a moment, he was certain the boy wanted to shoot the group. His hand was already on the gun handle. He was a dangerous individual. He did all these actions so naturally, as if nothing could be more natural than this.

Li Lin swallowed the remaining pills. He had done this many times before and knew how to stay calm.

The crowd quickly dispersed, giving them space to talk.

“This is a backup of the adjudication terminal.” He walked towards them and, without even introducing it, took out a chip and said, “It has the authority to access all forbidden items below ACE in the adjudication department’s specimen library, as well as siege weapons prepared for war.”

The moment he said it, Pandora froze for a moment, then grinned. She instinctively reached for Li Lin's hand, but managed to hold back.

"How is He Yu?" 252 blinked, as if he could see something in him, and asked while staring into the other's eyes.

She didn't know what constituted "good," but it certainly wasn't like this. Everyone looked like the world was ending; she and Pandora had killed over two hundred special operations operatives. Of course, to Eoubs, this was nothing.

Li Lin glanced at the two of them for a moment, then gently reached out and handed them the chip, placing it in Pandora's pocket.

The atmosphere among the three was somewhat tense, yet also very gentle.

He then explained the chip's other functions, how the self-destruct program was activated, and its power. Only after confirming that the two women understood did he put them into the car.

A few minutes later, the light suddenly dimmed, and the car drove into shadows resembling the organs of a cavity-like organism. The two living forbidden beings were instantly plunged into darkness, but they looked so calm, indifferent, cold, and yet so insane.
