At the end of the passage is a huge underground space.
It is more like a high-tech laboratory than a factory.
Various instruments and equipment flashing strange lights, complex pipelines, and... people wearing white uniforms and strange helmets.
Some of these people were operating instruments, some were talking in low voices, and some... were looking at Mou Xuan.
Their eyes were empty and numb, like a group of soulless puppets.
"Welcome to the 'Space-Time Hub.'" The deep voice sounded again, this time coming from a huge cylindrical device in the center of the laboratory.
Mou Xuan looked around and his eyes finally fell on the cylindrical device.
He could feel a powerful, indescribable energy surging within him.
"Is this your 'time control' device?" Mou Xuan asked.
"That's right," the voice replied, "This is the result of many years of research by our 'Shadow Stealth' organization. It is the key to opening the door to a new era."
"A new era?" Mou Xuan sneered, "You are qualified to talk about a new era by relying on plunder and killing?"
"The winner is the king, the loser is the enemy. This is an eternal truth." The voice said, "As long as we master the power of time, we can rewrite history and create a perfect world that belongs to us."
"Perfect world?" Mou Xuan sneered, "I'm afraid it's a paradise for you crazy people!"
As he spoke, he secretly observed the surrounding environment.
He found that although those people in white uniforms looked like members of "Shadow Stealth", their behavior was strange.
Their movements were stiff and mechanical, as if they were controlled by some force.
Moreover, they all exuded a faint, decayed smell.
This smell...Mu Xuan suddenly remembered the corpses of the men in black in the warehouse. Could it be that...
His mind moved and his time ability was activated.
His consciousness went back to a few minutes ago.
He saw that those people in white uniforms were originally ordinary people. They were captured by the "Shadow Stealth" people and forced to wear those strange helmets.
A strange red light flashed on the helmet.
The red light flashed, and the eyes of ordinary people gradually became empty and numb...
"So that's it!" Mou Xuan suddenly realized, "You guys actually use this method to control others!"
He returned to reality again, his eyes becoming cold.
He looked at the cylindrical device and asked, "Are you the leader of Shadow Stealth?"
"You can understand it that way." The voice replied, "But my name is 'Prophet'."
"Prophet?" Mou Xuan sneered, "I think he's more like a 'madman'!"
He stopped talking nonsense and directly activated his time ability.
He wants to destroy the device and stop Shadow Stalker's crazy plan.
However, just as he was about to act, the cylindrical device suddenly burst into a dazzling light.
In the light, a vague figure slowly emerged.
The figure's face could not be seen clearly, but it exuded a powerful, suffocating sense of oppression.
"Do you think you can stop me?" the figure said in a low and majestic voice, "You know nothing about the power of time!"
Mou Xuan was shocked. He felt that a powerful force of time was attacking him.
This force was stronger than any he had encountered before, so strong that he could not resist it.
He gritted his teeth and tried his best to activate his time ability to resist this force.
But it was all in vain.
His body began to become stiff and his mind began to become dull.
"Give up." The figure said, "Join us and create a new era together!"
Mou Xuan did not answer, his eyes remained firm.
He knew that he could not give up. Once he gave up, the whole world would fall into darkness.
He used up the last of his strength and concentrated his time power on his right hand.
His right hand began to glow with a faint light.
"This is..." The figure seemed to have noticed something, with a hint of surprise in his voice.
"Goodbye, 'Prophet'!" Mou Xuan roared and smashed the cylindrical device with the power of his right hand.
With a loud bang, the whole laboratory shook.
Cracks began to appear in the cylindrical device, and the cracks grew larger and larger until finally, it exploded with a loud bang.
The shock wave generated by the explosion blew Mou Xuan away.
He fell heavily to the ground and spurted out a mouthful of blood.
He struggled to stand up, but found that he could not move.
He saw that everything in the laboratory began to twist and deform, and finally turned into nothingness.
He succeeded.
He destroyed the "Time and Space Nexus" and stopped the "Shadow Stealth" plan.
However, he himself also paid a heavy price.
He slowly closed his eyes and his consciousness gradually became blurred.
After an unknown amount of time, Mou Xuan slowly opened his eyes.
He found himself lying in the medical room of the Alliance base, Shen Yao was sitting beside his bed, looking at him with a worried look on her face.
"You're awake!" Chen Yao said in surprise, "You scared me to death!"
Mou Xuan smiled weakly and asked, "How long have I been unconscious?"
"Three days and three nights." Chen Yao said, "You were seriously injured, and almost..."
She didn't say anything else, but couldn't help but shed tears.
Mou Xuan reached out his hand, gently wiped the tears from her face, and said, "I'm fine, don't cry."
He looked at Chen Yao, his heart full of warmth.
He knew that he was not fighting alone, he also had Chen Yao and his partners in the alliance.
He told Chen Yao everything that happened in the factory, his discoveries and inferences. He destroyed the "Time Hub", but did not seem to completely eliminate the "Prophet".
After hearing this, Chen Yao felt both distressed and admired. She held Mou Xuan's hand tightly, her eyes full of love.
"Mou Xuan, you are awesome!" Chen Yao said sincerely, "You saved the world!"
Mou Xuan shook his head and said, "No, I just did something I should do. And this is far from over."
He looked at Chen Yao, his eyes became deep: "The secret of 'Shadow Stealth' has not been fully solved. 'The Prophet'... is he really dead?"
He stood up, walked to the window, and looked into the distance.
The city twinkles in the night like countless stars.
"No matter who you are or where you hide, I will find you." Mou Xuan muttered to himself, clenching his fists tightly.
