As Gu Changqing watched Li Qi, whom the squad leader was talking about, prepare to take something out of his pocket, he calmly looked at the magic mirror and waved his left hand, releasing a stream of black gas. Before the squad leader could react, the magic mirror was already enveloped in the black gas.

The squad leader looked at the magic mirror that was enveloped, and the hand that touched the magic mirror was completely corroded the moment it came into contact with the black mist.

With a scream from the squad leader, the Magic Mirror, having lost its arm for support, fell to the ground with a thud.

"Breaking the Formation with Profound Qi - Black Arcane"

As Gu Changqing's voice fell, the black mist surrounding the magic mirror exploded. When the black mist dissipated, the magic mirror, which was said to be able to imprison super-high-level monsters, was no longer there.

The black energy that had wrapped around the squad leader's palm did not dissipate after corroding his hand. Instead, it continued to corrode along his arm. Before the squad members could react, the S-class Imperial Weird Squad Leader, like his magic mirror, had been completely corroded away by the black energy.

Ding—Destroy the super-advanced monster, the Magic Mirror—Reward: 4000 points

Ding—Eliminate 5 high-level monsters—Reward points

With the notification sound from the Main God Space, the captain, who had only been back in the name of the disappearing entity for a few minutes and had only used one strange object, had already vanished from the research institute.

Seeing their captain being corrupted by the black energy, the group of members prepared to use all their strange artifacts to fight to the death.

Just as the group was about to attack Gu Changqing, a heavy voice came from the corridor.

The team members all looked towards the corridor behind them, because they had heard this sound countless times before.

The newcomer was none other than Marshal Maurice!

Marshal Morris, the Empire's Chief Executive Officer, the Empire's Supreme Marshal, the Director of the Empire's Institute of Mysteries, and the Captain of the Empire's Mysterious Squad—with these titles, he exudes an inexplicable aura wherever he goes.

"Hello, sir. The King of the Empire has sent me to invite you to dinner. What do you say?"

Marshal Maurice smiled and said to Gu Changqing amidst the surprised looks of his squad members.
