However, at that moment, the alarm bells outside the door blared.
At the same time, a cacophony of sounds erupted, including shouts, gunshots, and faint groans and screams.
At the same time, a bloody smell filled the air. Bai Zilin drew her pistol with her bare hands, and cold sweat instantly poured down her forehead.
She didn't know much about the Sixth Sanctuary of the Temple, but she knew it was an organization of extraordinary individuals who were under the command of the Temple.
The Holy Curtain is merely a small branch of the Sixth Holy Temple, but the research conducted on the Holy Curtain is what the temple values most.
Now that Joss, the mastermind of the Holy Curtain, has been captured, they will face the Holy Church's furious retaliation.
Not only here, but even Xuan Yu Pavilion is likely to be affected by the conflict.
It was completely quiet outside. She tried to call with her cell phone and radio, but all signals were blocked, and the surroundings were eerily quiet.
Xiao Li, who was also in the interrogation room, drew his gun. He leaned over the door and gritted his teeth, saying, "Sister Bai, if anyone breaks in later, just run. I'll cover your retreat."
"Xiao Li, this is China. I don't believe these people would dare to cause any big trouble," Bai Zilin said through gritted teeth.
“Sister Bai, you don’t understand the Holy Temple.” Little Li was also a member of the Xuan Yu Pavilion, and a senior intelligence officer at that.
“They are very strong. Xuan Yu Pavilion has studied them for many years, but after much consideration, we have never dared to take action against them. This time, you infiltrated the Holy Curtain and made it dock on our coast. We have no choice but to take action.”
"But the consequence of doing so is that it has provoked a furious retaliation from the Sixth Sanctuary, the strongest force in the Temple. Originally, we had a better way to deal with the Holy Curtain, but now..."
Bai Zilin was struck dumb, unaware that her actions had unintentionally ruined the original plan.
Meanwhile, Changshan Prison was eerily quiet. Countless comrades had already died in battle outside, and all of this was caused by her.
Filled with guilt, she whispered, "If someone rushes in, I'd rather die than leave."
"Sister Bai, don't act rashly." Xiao Li gave a bitter smile: "If one of us can live, there's no need for both of us to die."
"You haven't been with Xuan Yu Pavilion for long, so you don't know about Xuan Yu Pavilion's traditions. We've always believed in living as long as we can. Those who are alive must carry on the faith of the dead."
"Then why is it me who is alive and not you?" Bai Zilin retorted.
“Sister Bai,” Xiao Li sighed, “People are different. I come from a humble background and have no ties. My life is worthless.”
“But you are different. You are the daughter of our family. If I had such a good family background as you, I would never have sent myself to the front line to fight.”
“But…” Bai Zilin was shocked and didn’t know what to say.
She has never liked her family background because she feels that everything she has achieved is due to her own hard work and has nothing to do with her family.
However, most people associate her abilities and success with her family, and whenever she is mentioned, they say she is Minister Bai's daughter.
She was distressed, thinking that if she had come from an ordinary background, her aura would be even stronger.
But she never imagined that her family background, which she had always considered a burden, was something that no one else would ever have.
“Someone’s coming.” Xiao Li gripped his gun tighter and muttered, “Heavy breathing, steady footsteps, and the smell of blood. This is a ruthless killer. Sister Bai, be careful.”
Bai Zilin steadied herself, cocked the gun with a click, and stared at the door.
“Miss Bai, I suggest you don’t resist. This person who’s coming is Death Jack.” Joss remained calm. “The two of you can’t handle him.”
"Shut up, this is China." Bai Zilin pressed the gun against Joss's forehead with her other hand. "Besides, the cell you're in is made of pure alloy. Unless you have an armored vehicle, you can't break in. We'll wait for reinforcements here."
"Oh, really?" Joss smiled. "The Sixth Holy Temple is full of talented people. Miss Bai, you really need to broaden your horizons and see just how many strong people there are in this world."
Bai Zilin gritted her teeth and ignored Qiao Si. She stared intently at the door, confident in the strength of this interrogation room.
Suddenly, a loud bang was heard as the interrogation room door slammed shut, as if something heavy was hitting it from the outside.
Bai Zilin's palms were covered in cold sweat as she gripped the pistol tightly, staring outside.
Bang... A huge palm print appeared on the door. This was a 20-centimeter alloy steel door, which even a tank couldn't break. Yet, the opponent's palm left a huge palm print on the door. You can imagine how strong the opponent was.
The opponent's palm strike seemed to be a test. Then, with a hissing sound, five sharp claws actually pierced through the alloy door from the outside.
With a tearing sound, the 20-centimeter-thick steel door was actually ripped open from the outside.
Then, with a loud crash, the door was kicked open, and Xiao Li rushed forward and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
Bang bang bang, the magazine was emptied of bullets. He didn't even see who the person was. He pulled a dagger from his waist and rushed forward.
However, standing before him was a burly man who was over ten feet tall.
A faint metallic sheen emanated from the other person's body, making them appear as if they were cast from metal.
With a light touch, he grabbed Xiao Li by the neck, and Xiao Li stabbed him in the arm with a knife.
Crack... The alloy dagger in Xiao Li's hand actually split in two, breaking apart.
The dagger in his hand was made of a special alloy, which was extremely hard, but it couldn't pierce the body of the big man in front of him.
Xiao Li was startled and was about to resist when the other person exerted force with their right hand, and crack...
His neck was snapped by the other person, who then casually tossed him to the ground.
"Xiao Li..." Bai Zilin was filled with grief and indignation. She rushed forward frantically, screaming as she emptied her hand of bullets.
However, the metallic texture of the other party immediately emerged. Bai Zilin emptied her hand of bullets but failed to leave a single bullet mark on the other party.
With a flick of his wrist, he sent Bai Zilin flying several meters away. The burly man glanced at her coldly before walking toward the interrogation table.
Click... The restraints binding Joss on the chair were suddenly broken, and Joss was instantly freed.
At the same time, a handsome man with blond hair walked in.
He bowed slightly to Joss: "Lord Joss, I apologize for being late."
“Oh, Pierce, you’re not late, you’re just in time.” Joss laughed and walked over to give the man a hug.
