In addition, the mysterious organization also sent some members who are good at concealment and assassination to lurk near the superpower team. Once they find a superpower left alone, they will launch a surprise attack to weaken the overall strength of the superpower team.
The psychic team was completely oblivious to all this. They were still locked in a fierce dispute over who would take on the mission, completely unaware that they had fallen into a double trap set by external forces and a mysterious organization. The elemental manipulator, though sensing something was amiss, remained powerless to stem the escalating internal strife amidst the chaotic situation.
Under the continued interference of external forces, the internal strife within the psychic team becomes increasingly uncontrollable. Enticed by the "powerful weapons" offered by these external forces, the assault team, despite the opposition of the shadow team, resolutely decides to carry out the mission of seizing key experimental data alone. Armed with the new energy weapons provided by the external forces, they confidently advance towards the mysterious organization's stronghold.
However, just as the Shadow Team feared, the assault team, upon entering the stronghold, triggered an energy trap set by a mysterious organization. A powerful energy shock instantly enveloped them, injuring many members and causing their weapons to malfunction. The assault team realized they had fallen into a trap, but their escape route had been cut off by the mysterious organization, leaving them in a desperate dilemma.
The Shadow Squad, after receiving "inside intelligence" from an outside force about a mysterious organization, cautiously followed a misleading map. Just as they thought they had found a weak spot and were about to launch a surprise attack, they stumbled into a heavily guarded area. Suddenly, a swarm of members of the mysterious organization swarmed from all directions, surrounding them. The Shadow Squad fought hard, but due to the misinformation, they were unprepared for the enemy's strength and deployment, and gradually became trapped in a difficult battle.
At this point, the crisis of trust within the psychic team reached its peak. The Assault Team believed the Shadow Team had colluded with external forces to deliberately trap them; the Shadow Team, in turn, was convinced that the Assault Team, seeking to monopolize the credit, had colluded with external forces, putting them in danger. The conflict between the two sides escalated completely, even to the point of accusations and attacks on the battlefield.
To make matters worse, betrayal occurred within the team. Facing a life-or-death crisis, a member of the assault team, in order to protect himself, revealed key information about the psychic team, including the characteristics and weaknesses of other members' abilities, to a mysterious organization. This betrayal further jeopardized the psychic team. Based on this information, the mysterious organization adjusted its combat strategy and launched an even more fierce attack on the psychics.
The elemental manipulator watched his team fall apart, distraught. He tried to rally everyone in the chaos, but anger and fear had blinded everyone, and no one would listen. A mysterious organization and external forces stood by, reaping the benefits, intent on completely annihilating the psychic team to achieve their own goals.
The external forces were well aware of the attack team and Shadow Team's style and core objectives, and their tactics were meticulously planned. First, targeting the attack team's eagerness to prove themselves and achieve glory, they dispatched a retired expert, once renowned in the supernatural world, as an emissary. This expert approached the attack team as a veteran. He didn't directly address the mission, but instead recounted his own lifelong regrets after missing out on a crucial mission. This resonated with the attack team's deep-seated desire for achievement, leading them to view this mission to seize crucial experimental data as a chance to change their fate.
However, when the messenger hinted that the Shadow Squad had been secretly hindering their achievement and produced fabricated footage, disagreements arose within the assault team. One member frowned, concerned, and said, "This footage looks suspicious. Could someone be deliberately trying to sow discord between us and the Shadow Squad? What if we act rashly and fall into a trap?" The deputy captain, with a look of disdain on his face, retorted, "You're just a coward! The Shadow Squad has always looked down on us, and this time it must be their doing. With the powerful weapons our seniors have provided us, why should we fear a trap?"
Regarding the weapons provided by outside forces, the team members had different opinions. One suggested, "We're unfamiliar with these weapons, and if they malfunction during combat, it would be troublesome. Furthermore, accepting help from outside forces could be a conspiracy." But the captain, eager to make a name for himself, slammed the table and declared, "There's no time to hesitate now. With these weapons, we can complete the mission quickly and demonstrate our strength to everyone. As for the conspiracy, we'll figure out how to deal with it after the mission is completed."
The members of the Assault Team were also divided over their stance on the Shadow Team. Some felt that even if the Shadow Team was at fault, they shouldn't completely break away from the team at this point, as they were all fighting against the mysterious organization. Others, however, were blinded by anger and insisted on teaching the Shadow Team a lesson, showing them the consequences of getting in their way.
External forces seized upon the Shadow Team's cautious, paranoid nature and focus on completeness. They dispatched intelligence analysis experts to present them with a seemingly detailed report on vulnerabilities in the mysterious organization's defenses. This report meticulously analyzed the organization's weaknesses and included grainy but authentic-looking photos of the scene. The experts also hinted that the assault team was aware of this intelligence and intended to bypass the Shadow Team, exploit these vulnerabilities on their own, and claim all the credit. This reinforced the Shadow Team's already resentful attitude towards the assault team's actions, convincing them that they would do anything for their own gain, fueling their hostility towards them.
