This situation puts the psychic team in a dilemma. Some members believe that cooperation with a neutral organization is a good option, not only to solve the current resource shortage problem, but also to use their power to thoroughly uncover the mysterious organization's conspiracy. However, others are strongly opposed, fearing that the neutral organization also has ulterior motives and that cooperation could lead to an even greater crisis.
The elemental manipulator faced immense pressure, having to resolve internal conflicts within the team while also dealing with external interference. He knew that at this critical juncture, any wrong decision could lead to total failure. So, he gathered everyone again, honestly sharing his thoughts, attempting to rally the team and collectively address this complex situation.
As internal conflicts intensified, the psychics gradually split into different teams. The "Strike Team," led by members with strength-based abilities, focused on storming the core of the mysterious organization and seizing key resources, believing that sheer force could quickly resolve the situation. Meanwhile, the "Shadow Team," comprised of psychics skilled in stealth and intelligence gathering, advocated a thorough investigation of the organization's weaknesses before finding the right moment to deliver a fatal blow. These differing philosophies quietly fostered conflict.
When a crucial mission to retrieve crucial experimental data from a mysterious organization arises, tensions quickly mount between the two teams. The Assault Team, convinced of their superior strength, believes they can quickly penetrate the defenses and seize the data. They spread rumors that the Shadow Team is timid, afraid to engage head-on, and only engaged in covert operations. The Shadow Team counters that the Assault Team is reckless and that such a rash action would only alert the organization, giving it time to destroy the data.
To secure the mission, the Assault Team spread rumors within the team, claiming that the Shadow Team had secretly colluded with a mysterious organization and was planning to monopolize the experimental data. This rumor infuriated the Shadow Team members, who decided to expose the Assault Team's selfishness, pointing out that they were only interested in grabbing the credit and had no regard for the safety of the entire team.
During a task assignment meeting, the two teams clashed fiercely. The Assault Team jumped in, demanding the mission and promising to complete it in the shortest possible time. The Shadow Team, in turn, presented a detailed plan, analyzing the enormous risks inherent in the Assault Team's approach. With each side refusing to compromise, the atmosphere reached a fever pitch, and members of the other teams were drawn into the debate, each staking their claim.
The elemental manipulator watched the chaotic situation with a frantic anxiety. He knew that such internal conflict would only benefit the mysterious organization, but quelling the conflict was no easy task. He tried to mediate between the two teams, trying to calm everyone down and consider the interests of the team as a whole, but to little avail. The mysterious organization seemed to sense the divisions among the psychics and secretly strengthened its defenses, preparing for a possible attack.
The external forces, who had been coveting the secrets of the mysterious organization, keenly grasped the opportunity of the internal strife of the superpower team and quickly launched a series of actions. They first sent messengers skilled in persuasive words to penetrate the superpower team and contact the assault team and the shadow team respectively.
The messenger found the assault team and deliberately exaggerated their strength advantage, saying: "You are so powerful, if you carry out this mission, you will succeed in one fell swoop. Those people in the Shadow Team are jealous of you, so they obstruct you in every possible way. We can provide you with more powerful weapons, so that you can be more powerful in action and successfully obtain key experimental data. By then, the whole team will look at you with admiration, and the mysterious organization will not dare to look down on you." These words made the members of the assault team more convinced that their choice was correct, and their hostility towards the Shadow Team became stronger.
Turning around, the messenger came to the Shadow Team again and began to add fuel to the fire: "Your plan is the most comprehensive. The Assault Team is a group of impulsive guys. What they do will only put everyone in danger. We have some internal intelligence about the mysterious organization. As long as you are willing to cooperate with us, we can provide this information to you to help you complete the task smoothly and expose the wrong decisions of the Assault Team." After hearing this, the Shadow Team's dissatisfaction with the Assault Team reached its peak. They felt that they were misunderstood but did not get the trust they deserved.
Besides sowing discord, external forces were secretly observing the movements of both sides. When they discovered that the psychics had relaxed their vigilance against the mysterious organization due to internal strife, they quietly contacted the mysterious organization. They revealed part of the psychic team's plan to the mysterious organization, demanding in exchange that the mysterious organization share some of its experimental results with them after defeating the psychic team. The mysterious organization, already wary of the psychic team, immediately launched a series of countermeasures upon receiving this information.
On the one hand, the mysterious organization strengthened the stronghold's defenses. They deployed numerous energy traps around the stronghold, hidden in the shadows. If a psychic approached, these traps would trigger a powerful energy shock, enough to incapacitate ordinary psychics. Furthermore, they set up layers of mazes within the stronghold, using special energy fluctuations to interfere with psychics' perceptions and cause them to lose their way upon entering.
Meanwhile, a mysterious organization began disrupting the psychics' communications. Using technical means, they hacked into the psychic team's communication system, sending them false mission information and misleading maps. This tricked the assault team into believing they had found the organization's core area, only to discover it was a carefully laid trap. The shadow team, while executing their plan, strayed into a heavily guarded area.
