"I cannot stand by and watch someone die."

"It's not just because it's my home, but more because the people there are no different from those elsewhere."

"People's property may vary in wealth, but the value of human life is not."

"On this point, we are all equal."

"If all of this had happened in a wealthy neighborhood, I would have done the same without hesitation."

"This was also my original intention when I joined Dawn's Hub."

"This is the only point I want to insist on, so I came here to confirm it with the director."

If Li Mingshu is not the same Li Mingshu he once was, what is the point of me staying here?

Qin Tan looked directly into Fifth Dawn's eyes.

The other person's eyes were like a deep, vast ocean, brewing a huge storm.

It was dark and heavy, pressing down on people's hearts.

But Qin Tan did not back down.

"Well said!"

Fifth Dawn smiled again and raised his hand to applaud Qin Tan.

"Your thoughts are the same as mine."

"The significance of Dawn's existence will never change in this one aspect."

"Regardless of what the higher-ups think, as long as I'm here in Wangcheng, I'm the one in charge."

"Go ahead and do it. Dawn's men are at your disposal, including the first and second squads."

"If someone refuses..."

At this point, Fifth Dawn looked at Qiao Xinzhi.

Qiao Xinzhi, who was arrogant just a moment ago, is now as docile as a quail, keeping his head down and not saying a word.

That feeling of humiliation filled Fifth Dawn's eyes with disappointment.

"That means you are no longer suitable to stay in Dawn Hub."

"I will personally see you off when the time comes."

These words effectively silenced all dissenting opinions.

"Go ahead and do whatever you want. I'll be there for you no matter what the consequences are."

Fifth Dawn's words gave Qin Tan confidence.

She gave the other person a deep look, nodded emphatically, and left with the third team.

What she wanted was Fifth Dawn's attitude.

"Let's go too!"

Ni Yin tugged at her teammate's clothes and followed.

She preferred the third team to the first.

Although he has a bad reputation, he's honest and straightforward, without much guile.

Unlike the first team, those people are always arrogant and unrealistic, and they're always on guard against them, as if someone wants to steal their title as the first team.

The office was now empty.

The mechanism on the bookshelf behind Fifth Dawn was activated, and Xia Shuang stepped out.

"She didn't let you down, did she?"

The "she" Xia Shuang was referring to was Qin Tan.

She sat down opposite Fifth Dawn, her face still pale, the old injury from last time aggravated and still not fully healed.

The only way to cure her is in the first district.

But now is not the time to go back.

"Yes, she said the same thing as you."

Fifth Dawn tapped his fingers on the table, lost in thought.

“I can sense that she has many secrets, and even her connection with the Abyss is closer than that of ordinary people.”

"It's alright."

"As long as my original intention remains unchanged, I dare to use her, whether she is a human or a ghost."

The fifth dawn affirmed.

"Then, let's give her the spot here."

"The space here is still too small. Only by going to the First District can she grow up faster."

"We need manpower, both internally and externally."

Xia Shuang seemed to be discussing something with Fifth Dawn.

"Sure, but I have one condition."

"You and she, go to District One together."

Xia Shuang was slightly taken aback by Fifth Dawn's words. She was about to refuse when Fifth Dawn raised his hand to signal her to be quiet.

"You and she are both people who shouldn't be here."

"Your injuries require you to return to Zone One."

"They need you there too."

"The past is the past. This time, no one can stop our plan."

"If anyone dares to reach out, I'll chop off their claws."

A fierce look rose on Fifth Dawn's face; this was the kind of side that Dawn's Director should have.

"But what will happen here if we all leave?"

Xia Shuang hesitated about this.

"You don't have much time left here."

When this was mentioned, Xia Shuang's tone was inexplicable.

"Now that the Abyss Church has withdrawn, the remaining Fire Society has no value in Wangcheng, so they won't make a move easily."

"As for those remnants of the past, don't worry, I will leave a backup plan before I leave."

"Besides, there are Wei Xiao and Ren Jia. They have served as the first and second captains for many years and have already mastered their skills."

"Back then, you refused the position of captain of the first team because you knew you would leave one day, so you gave up the position to let them train."

Fifth Dawn had many thoughts and meticulously informed Xia Shuang of all the arrangements.

This put Xia Shuang's mind at ease.

She looked out the window at the scenery and remained silent for a long time before speaking.

"Okay, I agree. But once we get back, Qin Tan and I will not accept the control of anyone other than you."

"Of course, we can agree to cooperation within reasonable limits."

Xia Shuang stated her conditions.

"Okay, but are you so sure Qin Tan will go with you?"

The small town of Wangcheng has recently become a gathering place for many important figures.

As the only local resident, Qin Tan will inevitably attract a lot of attention.

Headquarters had been observing Qin Tan for some time.

Even if he doesn't extend an olive branch this time, someone from headquarters will still make a move.

Since that's the case, we can't let them get away with it.

Yes, it will.

Xia Shuang pressed her hand to her heart.

Beneath his palm, blood surged, roaring and clamoring, brimming with ambition.

Neither Qin Tan nor she were people who were content with the status quo.

What they wanted was not in Wangcheng.

The first district is the real stage for fighting the abyss; what we're doing here now is just a small-scale skirmish.

Only Qin Tan was able to quickly adapt to the cruelty of the First District.

...

Unaware that a backup plan had been prepared, Qin Tan began the tense deployment work.

With the director's order, the first team had to cooperate.

From initial resistance to eventual compliance, it was only through Wei Xiao and Qin Tan that they learned it was Captain Wei Ling who gave the order.

He said that anyone who doesn't cooperate will be expelled from the first team, no matter how the director handles it.

Speaking of Wei Xiao, their relationship improved considerably after Wei Xiao offered information last time.

To facilitate the flow of intelligence, the three teams intertwined with each other.

Qin Tan, along with Wei Xiao from Team One and Ni Yin from Team Two, worked together to reach Wangcheng University.

Meanwhile, many temporary workers also disguised themselves to enter.

Following the bar incident, a second screening was conducted among the temporary workers to eliminate some unstable individuals.

Among those superhumans who were being monitored, some were promoted to temporary workers.

The influx of people did not have any impact on Wangcheng University.

Students came and went, their faces beaming with youthful smiles.

As I passed by, I could hear them talking about their future.
