"woke up?"

The unfamiliar male voice made Lin Xi tremble with fear.

She suddenly looked up and found herself in a small, enclosed lounge. The man sitting in front of her, with a calm expression, was Jiang Wen.

Lin Xi watched him warily, ready to use her mind control if he made any move.

Jiang Wen seemed to see through her thoughts and suddenly smiled.

"Don't you have other things to do? Are you sure you want to keep standing here doing nothing?"

Lin Xi's heart tightened. "How did you know?"

At this moment, Lin Xi noticed that Jiang Wen was turning a silver ring in his hand.

Fiery Legion!

"So, they've planted their secret agents here?"

Jiang Wen smiled gently, "To be honest, I don't know what your relationship is with my three colleagues. You're from the Wind Eagle Regiment, yet they asked me to take care of you."

"Then why didn't you go with them?"

"No, someone has to take control of the situation here, right?"

Jiang Wen put the ring away. "Alright, you're awake now, so my mission is complete."

He left after saying that.

The moment the door closed, Lin Xi quickly said, "Thank you."

Then, she touched the wound on her abdomen and found that it had been treated, but for the sake of realism, the wound was still a bit deep.

Lin Xi exchanged some wound medicine with the system, and it took effect immediately, turning the original wound into a light pink scar.

He's right, I need to get to the headquarters building as soon as possible.

Up until now, there has been no movement from Yun's side, and thinking of this, Lin Xi felt a deep sense of worry.

Logically, there should be no security guards at the entrance of the headquarters building now, but that's not the case.

Two men stood guard on either side of the gate. She recognized them; they were both only at the fourth level of superpowers, and Lu Nan and Cheng Sheng could easily handle them.

If Yun had broken in, there would have been no way he would have left these two alive.

Could it be that Yun didn't take any action today?

Impossible. If he doesn't act today, he won't let himself and Jiang Chuan participate in today's competition.

With that thought in mind, she swaggered out and activated her mind control as soon as the two men realized what was happening. The two men at the door stood motionless like two living corpses.

Lin Xi picked up a stone from the ground, smashed the security camera at the door, then used a rope to tie the two people up tightly, stuffed a rag in their mouths, and dragged them to a secluded corner.

We don't know how long this trip will take, and if she doesn't come back after that time, keeping these two people around could be a problem.

By then, when they've regained their senses and brought in more reinforcements, I'm afraid I'll really die here.

The building was as quiet as ever, as if nothing had happened. However, Lin Xi still noticed signs of cleaning on the second floor.

There were knife marks and several charred spots. This belonged to Lu Mingxing and Tang He!

Suddenly, a figure flashed up behind her, appearing almost out of thin air. Lin Xi felt her hand being grabbed, and in the blink of an eye, she was in the storeroom on the stairs.

She was about to speak when her mouth was suddenly covered.

Turning around, it was Cheng Sheng.

At that moment, she made a finger gesture and put it in front of her mouth, signaling Lin Xi to be quiet.

Lin Xi took out her phone and started typing.

"What happened?"

"I don't know. It seems someone leaked our plans beforehand. We've been ambushed. There's a wind-type ability user here. His ability is perception, like having super hearing. He'll give us away as soon as we speak."

Lin Xi nodded. "What about the others?"

"They've all been locked up. On the first basement level, there's a prison specifically set up for people with superpowers."

How did you get down there?

"No, we can't go down now. There are two level seven ability users down there!"

"My dad still has silver?"

Cheng Sheng shook her head; she hadn't seen it either.

Lin Xi clenched her fists, her fingers icy cold.

"It seems they discovered my dad and Yin a long time ago..."

"Shall we go find Yin and Uncle first? Yin's special ability can help Captain Yun and Lu Nan heal their injuries quickly."

Lin Xi thought so too, "Next, we'll need to rely on your special abilities to get things done."

Cheng Sheng nodded.

On the third floor, a man with his eyes closed twitched his ears.

He didn't hear anything else, so he turned around and made himself a cup of tea.

The next second, two figures appeared beside him. He was startled and was knocked unconscious before he could even utter a sound.

Cheng Sheng took out a dagger and stabbed him in the heart.

Lin Xi was startled by her action. When did she become so ruthless?

"This person just attacked Yun from behind, stabbed him, and injured Lu Nan. We don't know what's going on with them now." Cheng Sheng said excitedly, his eyes full of resentment.

Lin Xi nodded but did not stop him.

Even if the people here die, they deserve it. They all climbed to this position by stepping over the corpses of others for their own selfish desires.

Lin Xi strode to the computer he had just been using. A chat window popped up. Lin Xi glanced at it and saw that the person was reporting their location to someone behind the scenes...

"He's the superhuman you mentioned with super hearing."

Cheng Sheng cleaned up the bloodstains, and upon hearing Lin Xi's words, he kicked the corpse again, still not satisfied.

Lin Xi put away her phone; now no one should be able to listen to their voices.

After searching the third floor, they found no high-level ability users above level five. "Looks like we have to go upstairs."

“There are dozens of floors here,” Cheng Sheng frowned. “How long will it take to find it?”

Lin Xi thought for a moment, "Let's go straight to my dad and Yin's office, on the fifteenth floor."

Strangely, it was very quiet here, unlike the previous floors where people were still doing their jobs.

"Is it possible that everyone here is going to watch the high-stakes games?"

Lin Xi didn't see any important figures in the audience, but she wasn't sure if they were spying on her from one of the venue's lounges. She shook her head. "I don't know. Anyway, let's be careful. Maybe they're waiting for us to walk right into their trap."

Cheng Sheng was startled.

Aren't they walking right into a trap today?

Pushing open the door, it was already very quiet here, but there was a cup of tea on the table, with a faint bluish-black hue.

Cheng Sheng picked up the cup and glanced at it, looking puzzled. "It feels like someone has poisoned this cup. Look at the color of the water, it's so strange."

"The color of this is very similar to that of tea. Why do you think it was poisoned?"

Cheng Sheng shook his head. "No, my dad used to run a teahouse. The tea that was freshly brewed was a bit lighter in color than this. After twenty minutes, the tea would become stronger, but the color would be a bit lighter again."
