With a blank expression, Gu Qingwan walked to the window, jumped up, and squatted on the windowsill. She opened her arms in a hugging gesture, then closed her eyes and fell straight down from the seventeenth floor.
Just a second later... at that chilling height, a woman with silver mechanical wings appeared in the night sky. Her light-colored wingspan was over three meters, and a steel wire shot out from the azure tip. The grappling hooks, the size of fingernails, were firmly embedded in the edge of the rooftop of the opposite high-rise building.
She flew straight toward Jiangcheng's location, the maneuvering equipment helping her traverse the hundreds of meters.

Gu Qingwan is a collection of the world's most advanced technologies. From the moment she was reactivated, the instructions she received were to unconditionally obey Jiang Cheng and to have the authority to kill anyone whose personal safety is threatened.

He looked down at the surveillance camera hanging on the wall of Huanjiang Residential Area at the seven o'clock position, and as he expected, it didn't capture his back at all.
He clenched his fist, looked up again, and prepared to complete the task in one go.
