While he was thinking, the energy cannon had already finished charging.
Blinding beams of light blasted towards the black flame barrier.
Amidst the deafening roar and bursts of flame, the black flames merely flickered slightly before quickly returning to normal, rendering the energy cannon's attack utterly ineffective.
The scene was completely silent.
Jenny and Muyue's expressions remained unchanged, as if they had long anticipated that the success rate of Plan One was low.
Mu Yue quickly took out seven Qing Si badges from his pocket. The badges shimmered with a strange light in his hand, each emitting a different energy fluctuation of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, light, and darkness.
At the same moment, Yu Xiangnan, hidden in the shadows, stretched out a hand, closed his eyes, and tried to establish a connection with the seven Qing Si badges.
These seven Qing Si badges were already bound to her, and even if they were not stored in the black box and were unfortunately taken away by others, this bond could not be broken.
Because the Qing Si Badge has special rules, the first player it comes into contact with becomes its permanent binding partner, and the binding relationship continues unless the player dies.
The reason why these seven badges were openly displayed among the crowd at yesterday's boundary-breaking meeting was for this very reason.
Firstly, it was to allow everyone to witness it firsthand, thereby gaining their trust. Because no one had ever seen the complete Blue Serpent emblem before, without this demonstration, today's operation would undoubtedly have been fraught with difficulties due to everyone's doubts.
Secondly, it was to lure the enemy out of their hiding place, while keeping their true intentions a mystery to the hidden enemy.
In an instant, the seven energies merged and collided, forming a powerful force that was terrifying, which surged toward the black flame barrier.
This time, the black flame barrier seemed to sense an unprecedented threat, and began to twist and struggle wildly, emitting sharp whistles!
"Boom—boom!!!"
Fine cracks gradually appeared on the barrier, and these cracks spread and expanded rapidly.
Finally, with a deafening roar, the black flame barrier shattered, turning into countless black fragments that dissipated into the air.
"We did it!" A shout of excitement erupted from the crowd.
The crowd was stunned for a moment, then erupted in deafening cheers that echoed through the sky.
At this moment, every player's face was filled with uncontrollable excitement and exhilaration, as if all fatigue and fear had vanished in an instant.
Several large, fat rats suddenly appeared from nowhere and jumped straight onto Rex.
Rex was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter, his laughter hearty and unrestrained.
He laughed as he pulled a cigar from his pocket, lit it with practiced ease, took a deep drag, and slowly exhaled a thick cloud of smoke.
"Hahahaha, that's great! I knew it! That blue one from before..."
However, before he could finish speaking, Mu Yue approached swiftly like a ghost, a smile on his face, but his eyes were as cold as frost in the cold night.
A hand had already completely covered Rex's mouth.
Mu Yue lowered his voice, speaking in a volume only the two of them could hear: "Please watch your words and actions. It is not advisable to reveal the identity of the person in charge yet, as this is related to the success or failure of the entire plan. If we find that you have sabotaged the plan, we will not hesitate to eliminate you."
His tone was calm, yet carried an undeniable resolve.
At the same time, Jenny reacted quickly, stomping precisely on a large, fat rat that was trying to escape.
Her eyes were sharp as knives, revealing a ruthless edge that sent chills down one's spine.
Seeing this, Rex looked helpless and could only slowly raise his hands in a gesture of surrender. He said with a wry smile, "The Dawn Society has helped a lot in the past six months. We've been running around and offering advice for this plan. We've certainly put in a lot of effort, haven't we?"
Mu Yue narrowed her eyes slightly, her gaze lingering on Rex's face for a moment before she replied unhurriedly, "That's why we use an honorific title for you."
"You should understand that we share the same goal, but before the plan is completed, any mistake could lead to total failure."
His voice was deep and steady, as if reminding or warning.
Rex: "......"
Can't he just refuse this honorific title?
......
With the barrier breached, news of the reopening of District 023 is bound to spread.
Especially Suzaku, who will receive the news the moment the barrier shatters.
At present, we need to be even more vigilant.
Over such a long period of time, Yu Xiangnan had been secretly observing, and with the troublemakers who appeared at yesterday's boundary-breaking conference, she was basically certain that District 023 definitely had spies from the Third Reversed Position and the Vermilion Bird.
With the barrier broken, they will definitely report the news from District 023 over the past few months as soon as possible.
Three months ago, during the Dark Trial, she plotted to spread the news that a Blue Star player had faked their death. Prior to this, she had participated in several trials in a row, and the sudden appearance of Blue Star players clearing all the levels had already attracted the attention of everyone in District 023.
Now, rumors are circulating that she faked her death and then completely disappeared. At the same time, she used her privileges as the person in charge to have all the NPCs in District 023 provide her with cover. So even if the people of the Third Reversed Position and Suzaku take the news out, it's just a smokescreen.
In the private channel that Yu Xiangnan had specially set up with the NPCs, he issued an order to the NPCs who were responsible for monitoring the information of players leaving the 023 area, asking them to conduct a focused screening of relevant information.
He secretly kept a close eye on the situation, ready to deal with any unusual circumstances.

[Bula]: Luncheon meat cans, here I come!!!
[Fedo]: Finally out...
Compared to Bula and Feiduo, Yu Xiangnan was already extremely busy.
She quickly learned about the situation outside.
Fortunately, Earth has not been destroyed.
She sent Fei Duo to Blue Star to confirm that several familiar names on the leaderboard were still there. However, since she had been away from Blue Star for more than half a year, her name had disappeared from all the leaderboards; the system had assumed she was dead, and the guild had been transferred.
During this period, Earth underwent tremendous changes. Environmental degradation led to ecological imbalance in some areas, and many public maps were shut down.
Thankfully... it wasn't the worst outcome.
She cannot return to Earth yet. Once she does, and is detected by the system, her name will reappear on the list.
She must first go to the reversed position and become a reversed candidate.
Because, during those seven months, she learned some "truths".
