Furthermore, outside forces set their sights on key individuals within the psychic team. Secret investigations revealed a troubled past between the vice-captain of the assault team and a core member of the shadow team. Consequently, they arranged for dedicated personnel to contact each individual, repeatedly alluding to each other's faults and blaming the other for the current team strife. This instigation reignited the conflict between the two key individuals, who then spread negative rhetoric about the other within their respective teams, further exacerbating the division between the two teams.

Through this series of carefully planned provocations, the external forces successfully plunged the team of superpowers into deeper internal strife, creating excellent opportunities for the mysterious organization and themselves.

When an intelligence analyst sent by an external force showed the Shadow Squad a report on vulnerabilities in the mysterious organization's defense system and hinted that the assault team would take all the credit, the Shadow Squad members did not immediately believe it. They sat together and carefully studied the report, each of their faces full of vigilance.

A member skilled in data analysis spoke first: "Although this report seems very detailed, the shooting angle and clarity of these photos are very suspicious, and the possibility of forgery cannot be ruled out. Moreover, why would external forces suddenly give us such important intelligence? What is their purpose?" His words resonated with the other members, and everyone nodded in agreement.

The Shadow Squad's captain frowned, then pondered for a moment before saying, "Although the assault team acted impulsively, I don't believe they would disregard the greater good and act on their own for the sake of merit. It's likely that external forces are behind this, attempting to exploit our conflict to achieve their own ulterior motives."

To verify their suspicions, the Shadow Squad decided to covertly investigate the background and recent movements of the external forces. They dispatched members skilled in stealth and tracking to quietly shadow the experts they had contact with, attempting to uncover further clues. At the same time, they also strengthened their ties with other neutral members of the team, hoping to learn more about the external forces from them.

During internal discussions, the Shadow Squad members were divided over whether to respond to the assault team's provocation. Some believed they should proactively communicate with the assault team, clarify misunderstandings, and jointly combat the conspiracy of the mysterious organization and external forces. They felt that now was the time to unite and not allow the enemy's provocations to succeed.

However, other members disagreed, believing the attack team was already blinded by anger and that any attempt to communicate now would only lead to more intense attacks. They advocated holding off for now, biding their time, gathering more evidence, and then exposing the conspiracy of external forces and forcing the attack team to recognize the truth.

As the Shadow Squad debated internally, they discovered that their actions seemed to be under surveillance. This made them even more convinced that external forces would never let them go easily, and that a greater crisis might be quietly approaching.

Meanwhile, a heated discussion was brewing within the assault team. One member spoke with a puzzled expression, "Things have been feeling strange lately. Could those Shadow Squad 'tricks' those outside forces showed us be deliberate provocations?" The deputy captain, however, looked on with an annoyed expression, "Don't speculate! The footage is crystal clear. The Shadow Squad has always looked down on us, and this time they're definitely trying to steal the credit."

The captain fell into deep thought and slowly said, "Although the Shadow Squad often disagrees with us, it doesn't seem like they'd resort to such scheming over such a small matter. Furthermore, the sudden appearance of external forces and their eagerness to offer assistance could indicate a conspiracy."

At this moment, a team member, recalling their previous experience, added, "The weapons they gave us were incredibly complicated to operate. It felt like they were deliberately trying to make us flustered during combat. Perhaps they were trying to exploit the conflict between us and the Shadow Squad to weaken both our forces."

The moment these words were spoken, the team erupted in an uproar. Some members began to waver, believing they couldn't be manipulated by outside forces. However, others remained convinced that the Shadow Team was flawed, believing that even if the outside forces were plotting something, they couldn't miss this opportunity to make a name for themselves. Amidst this debate, the assault team was also at a loss as to their next move.

The true motives of these external forces are complex and ambitious. They covet the genetic modification technology and the immense power hidden behind the special minerals possessed by the mysterious organization. If they gain control of these technologies and energies, they could establish absolute dominance over the entire supernatural world and beyond.

For years, a mysterious organization has been conducting genetic engineering experiments using special minerals, attempting to create warriors with extraordinary powers to achieve its ulterior motives. External forces, aware that a direct confrontation with the mysterious organization would be costly, even for their own formidable strength, have therefore turned their attention to teams of psychics.

Within the psychic team, the Attack Squad and the Shadow Squad each have their own unique strengths. The Attack Squad is formidable, while the Shadow Squad excels at stealth and intelligence gathering. External forces attempt to exploit the differences between the two teams and incite internal strife. By sowing discord, they weaken each other in the struggle for missions. When the psychic team is severely weakened by internal strife, external forces can easily intervene.

On the one hand, they can take advantage of the chaos to seize key experimental data and special minerals from the mysterious organization. When the psychic team and the mysterious organization are fighting fiercely, the elite forces of the external forces can sneak in quietly, avoiding the main battlefield, and directly attack the core area of the mysterious organization, taking away the precious technical data and minerals.
