“The other team currently consists of myself, you, Ye Shaoheng, and Miss Changning and Mr. Guan Nianshan, whom you requested to be added.” Nan Zhu continued, “It is named Shadow, the New World Shadow Special Team.”

"Okay, go out." Shi Yin turned her neck, looking uninterested.

The name is still the same familiar name, and there's nothing new to it, which is to be expected.

"Yes." Nan Zhu bowed slightly and quietly withdrew.

Once the office fell silent again, and Shi Yin heard Nan Zhu's footsteps gradually fading into the distance, she picked up the phone again.

The phone was answered after ringing a few times.

"Hey, what's up, Sister Yin?" Guan Nianshan's nonchalant voice came through the receiver. "Is something wrong again this time? I'm really going to be in serious trouble~"

"You took two-thirds of that person's fortune last time, and you've spent it all?" Shi Yin asked in a low voice.

"Hey, who doesn't want more money?" Guan Nianshan said with a grin. "Every time I spend money, my heart bleeds."

"There are still four or five months until the apocalypse. I'll be quite busy for a while. Ishtar will come quietly in about four months. I'll give you her contact information. You can contact her directly and don't alert anyone."

Too lazy to argue with Guan Nianshan, Shi Yin simply gave the order in a low voice.

"Huh? It's me again?" Guan Nianshan scratched his head in anguish. "Do you know how difficult it is for me to secretly bring someone back under the high alert of Yanlong Kingdom, with all the cameras doubled?"

[And you're not talking about that big shot Ishtar who's already been mentioned, are you? Me secretly meeting with a big shot? And then quietly bringing him back to the Flame Dragon Kingdom?]

[The apocalypse hasn't even started yet, and they're already putting me on hell difficulty?]

Guan Nianshan's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

Does Shi Yin really think this is a foreign country? Are there blind spots in the surveillance cameras everywhere? The surveillance in Yanlong Kingdom is just too dense, isn't it?

To secretly bring someone back, you first need to avoid everyone's eyes and ears. You need to clear everyone out without attracting attention, and there might still be some who slip through the net. You'll also need to pay hush money.

And then you have to find someone to hack those surveillance cameras, and do it so that there's no trace of it, you need a special car, and then you have to bribe people... and so on.

Oh dear, that's a huge expense. My heart aches so much.

Guan Nianshan stroked his chest and sighed silently.

"Unwilling?" Shi Yin leaned back in her chair, pausing casually. "Ishtar's ability is to summon different dragons. One type of dragon emits a special sound wave that is beneficial to your sister's treatment."

【Huh?】 Guan Nianshan was dumbfounded.

"Moreover, based on the overall situation, I deduced that your place was the first one that might be attacked. I specially transferred her here as an external aid. She can guarantee your sister's 100% safety..." Shi Yin's voice carried a hint of mockery.

An eerie silence fell over the air.

[Sister Yin, do you think Lord Ishtar needs a full massage?]

Even over the phone, Shi Yin could guess Guan Nianshan's 180° change in attitude; he probably wanted to bow deeply into the phone now.

[Top-tier luxury package, chauffeured transportation and personalized service. If you can imagine it, I can make it happen! Leave everything to me!]

No problem, absolutely no problem!

"Shall I send you my contact information?" Shi Yin asked.

[Post it, post it! Post as much as you want! Sharing Yin Jie's burdens is my duty and obligation, and no one can stop me!]

Guan Nianshan thumped his chest loudly on the other end of the phone.

[Sister Yin, your loyal little brother, I'm second to none. I'm your most loyal lapdog, possessing ability, talent, and good looks all in one.]

Shi Yin: "..."

"Hang up. Bring Changning to my place tonight." Shi Yin snorted softly.

【Alright.】 Guan Nianshan immediately agreed.

After hanging up the phone, Shi Yin finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Knock knock knock".

"Miss, your dinner is ready." Nan Zhu knocked softly on the door. Shi Yin glanced at the clock on the wall; it was six o'clock in the evening.

It's already afternoon?

Time flies.

"Just leave it there." Shi Yin lay back in her office chair, took a deep breath, and closed her eyes.

Light footsteps sounded, and Shi Yin could feel Nan Zhu getting closer and closer to her. The plate was placed on the table, and then the process continued.

The moment Shi Yin's fingers touched her temple, she almost cut off Nan Zhu's fingers, and it took her a while to relax.

The sensation of rotating and pressing was different from the advanced zombie-specific massage techniques she experienced when she became a zombie, and completely different from the ones she felt during her first life when she traveled through many battle groups. It seemed that she could rule out suspicion to some extent.

We still need to observe further. Maybe it's just something he did on purpose to show her. Massage techniques are easy to fake. We still need to observe Nanzhu's way of thinking and reactions.

Nan Zhu probably had no idea that the methods she had painstakingly learned to please her boss had actually aroused suspicion from her boss, who suspected her of having ulterior motives and even screened her out.

Shi Yin closed her eyes and pretended to sleep, her mind racing through every person and every key detail she had encountered in her thousands of lifetimes.

By tomorrow morning, Helmod's injections should be fully researched. Both the drugs and the people need to be divided into two batches. Yanlong Kingdom's efficiency is currently at its highest level, so there shouldn't be any problems afterward.

The main problem is a lack of manpower. There are too many people in Yanlong Kingdom. Even if we give up many disobedient, overly compassionate, and troublesome people, there are still many normal people left.

In reality, the vast majority of people are normal, and these people fall into the category of those who must be protected.

Shi Yin silently sorted out her thoughts, trying to clear her mind as much as possible.

The focus of the contest between Shi Yin and the mastermind is different. The mastermind is betting on his reaction ability and whether he can detect something is wrong and discover the difference in the world.

Shi Yin, on the other hand, was gambling on her own patience.

Will Tokine successfully cut off the broken branch first, or will the mastermind wait until Tokine gives up first?

So far, neither Shion's side nor those behind-the-scenes manipulators have succeeded or won. Shion cannot restore the Earth to its original state, and those people cannot create a new world.

They remained deadlocked, with one gaining strength while the other lost strength.

"Beep beep beep—"

As Shi Yin was pondering, her phone suddenly rang as if it were her last call.

Shi Yin paused for half a second, and after a long while, she resignedly stretched out her hand.

However, the other hand was faster, directly pressing the answer button on Shi Yin's phone and placing it right in front of her.

Shi Yin was stunned for several seconds, looking at Nan Zhu with a blank expression.

Who exactly said Guan Nianshan was the most sycophantic? She felt it was still uncertain whether Nan Zhu or Guan Nianshan was the boss or the second-in-command.
