Chapter 259 Return to Threshold



Whenever the threshold opens, the Executive Department will dispatch a large number of police officers to guard the area.

Today, there are more police officers stationed outside the threshold.

Tu Ran was speechless for a moment as she looked at the police force, which was three times more than usual, and some pioneers who were blocking outside the threshold with no intention of going in.

"Some people in the upper echelons of the Federation believe that you have not left the administrative center yet and might take advantage of the Threshold Gate opening to return to the Threshold. Therefore, they have added guards outside the Threshold and ordered some pioneers not to enter the Threshold this time and to intercept you outside."

Tu Ran was speechless for a moment. She adjusted the aircraft to land in an inconspicuous location, got out and approached on foot.

Zero transmitted the scene outside the threshold to her in real time.

The threshold gate opened, and pioneers began to come out one after another.

In the past, when they came out, they saw countless gun muzzles pointing directly at them. They were used to that kind of scene. But today, when they came out, they saw a row of people dressed as pioneers with their backs to them. They suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Some people froze there, not daring to move. It was the familiar blonde policewoman who led the way and sent them into the glass cover.

Tu Ran landed some distance away from the vacuum zone of the Threshold Gate without attracting the attention of those people. He changed into the guard uniform prepared in advance in the car, took off his mechanical head and put it into the mirror, put on the special helmet for the executive guards, took the weapons of the executive guards, and Tu Ran approached the encirclement openly.

With Ling as her accomplice, she doesn't worry about being exposed.

As she approached the perimeter, a guard stopped her and pointed his pupil recognition equipment at her, "Identification verification."

Tu Ran cooperated and took off the eyepiece, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed.

"Successfully identified, Eddie, an intern guard from the Executive Department."

"Go in." The guard made way for her without any doubt.

Tu Ran successfully entered the encirclement. Following Ling's instructions, she stood in the position that Addie should have been in charge of.

Addie is the new undercover agent that Xie Xu is going to place in the executive department. All her identity information and background data are ready. Now that she needs this identity, he will give it to her first.

Addie was in charge of the front position, with two rows of assaulters and two rows of commandos in front of her, and the pioneers in front of her, holding laser guns. Behind her were the heavy firepower and heavy guns, and the snipers behind her, with helicopters and drones hovering above.

Everyone was on edge, ready to take action at any time, even their breathing was deliberately light. There were so many people, but it was exceptionally quiet. Tu Ran reasonably suspected that if she suddenly fired a shot at this moment, this group of people would subconsciously follow her and shoot.

These people have not yet discovered that their target person is among them.

Even afterwards, they couldn't believe that the young guard standing obediently among them was the rebel Tu Ran.

Mixed in the crowd, holding a gun, Tu Ran stared at the threshold only fifty meters away through the scope.

There was no one or anything within her sights that could threaten her existence.

Everything is ready.

Tu Ran's palms were slightly sweaty. She took a deep breath almost unnoticeably and counted down in her mind.

“…Three, two, one!”

"call out--"

Tu Ran activated the "Teleport" function at full power, pushing through the crowd and rushing towards the threshold.

The guards didn't react, and neither did the pioneers.

When Tu Ran stepped into the wall, countless bullets and lasers shot at her back, but none of them hit her. They were all diverted to other places by the wall. It was too late.

Everyone's movements slowed down.

The target person has entered the threshold.

Amid layers of blockades, he entered the threshold openly and safely.

Perhaps to vent their anger, the shooting lasted for more than a minute before stopping. Everyone fiercely hoped that their bullets could cross the two worlds, follow Tu Ran and shoot into her body.

After the shooting stopped, there was a long silence. All the people surrounding the threshold, whether they were guards or pioneers, looked at each other with blank eyes, filled with confusion and disbelief.

Finally, a sound broke the silence, like a stone hitting the calm lake, causing ripples.

"What happened?"

A guard on the right side of the place where Tu Ran left spoke.

"She was just standing next to me, and then she was gone in an instant."

“One second, no, less than one second.” The guard on the left was trembling slightly. “Maybe only 0.1 second. Whoosh, she went in.”

"Superpower? Is this a superpower?" The person who witnessed everything in the back had a fanatical expression on his face. He pushed the crowd away and walked towards the threshold.

"Hey, where are you going?"

"I want superpowers, I also want to enter the Threshold. Superpowers cannot be obtained only by pioneers. Our guards are no worse than pioneers. I want superpowers, I want to enter the Threshold..." He repeated this sentence over and over again, like a possessed person.

No one stopped him.

Everyone just watched him walk into the threshold and disappear. Then a second and a third person also walked forward.

The pioneers could no longer stand still. They also wanted superpowers. Now Tu Ran had escaped back to the Threshold. Although their mission was not completed, there was no room for maneuver. Why should they wait here? If they entered the Threshold, they would have a higher chance of obtaining the inner elixir than these guards.

The scene suddenly became chaotic.

The crowd scrambled to get through the threshold.

Inside the glass cover, people from the medical department leaned on the glass and looked at the scene outside.

"Don't these people know their own abilities?" Meng Fanchen's face was pressed tightly against the glass, a little distorted. "The goddess's strength is there, so she can find the inner elixir in the aliens. If they go in, won't they just die?"

Tu Ran is still in his eyes and heart. His companions think more than he does.

"The higher-ups clearly know that they will die if they go in, so why don't they stop them?"

Another person snorted, "Of course it's for the inner elixir. Why do you think the higher-ups sent so many people to capture Tu Ran? Isn't it for her inner elixir? In the eyes of those people now, the inner elixir is extremely important. The guards can die if they want, they don't care. It doesn't matter if they can't get the inner elixir back. It would be a pleasant surprise if they can get it back."

He looked outside through the glass. From their perspective, that group of people seemed to be banging their heads against a wall, one after another, like moths to a flame.

"If they are lucky, some of them will come back alive with the inner elixir, but there is a high probability that the people above will ask them to hand it over. If they have already eaten it, then they are doomed. The higher-ups will find ways to secretly deal with them. Unless they can reach Tu Ran's level and not let anyone catch them." He paused and added, "There is a high probability that they can't reach Tu Ran's level."

Meng Fanchen retracted his neck, adjusted his hair, and agreed: "You have a point. These ordinary people really can't reach the level of my goddess."
