In Bai Yuanlao's cold hands, the note curled up like a final prophecy, mocking this short-lived victory.
Mou Xuan's heart seemed to be gripped by an invisible hand, and waves of suffocation came over him.
He returned to the safe house, and the light from the crystal chandelier shone coldly on the string of symbols left by Elder Bai, like some kind of mysterious sacrificial text.
"Damn, what is this?" Mou Xuan cursed and inserted the key into the energy slot.
With a humming sound, the light blue crystal core energy flowed like liquid, wrapping around the key. The air was filled with a faint smell of ozone, irritating his nasal cavity.
The holographic projection suddenly lit up, and a complex three-dimensional structure was suspended in the air, rotating and flashing like a beating heart.
This is... Mu Xun holding the Governor's Mansion!
"It's actually their lair!" Mou Xuan's pupils suddenly shrank. The coordinates of the Governor's Mansion were deeply imprinted in his mind. Every line and every angle were extremely clear.
Suddenly, he noticed a certain detail of the Governor's Mansion in the projection, and an inexplicable sense of familiarity came over him.
"This... this isn't..." He suddenly remembered Wu Yinyang's strange mechanical eyes, the unique patterns, the cold light...
"Wait!" Chen Yao suddenly pressed his shoulders, her voice trembling, "Look at the back of the key!"
Mou Xuan flipped the key suddenly, and a line of tiny words suddenly came into view: Countdown 72 hours.
72 hours!
A chill ran from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, like an icy steel needle piercing his heart.
At the same time, the atmosphere in the square took a sharp turn for the worse.
Tao instigated this guy, who had a keen sense of smell like a hyena, and climbed up the rubble at some point, screaming at the top of his voice: "The leader has hidden the key! He wants to sell out the country! He wants to sell us all to the Mu treasure hunters!"
His voice was sharp and piercing, like a sharp knife, cutting through the brief silence in the square.
The crowd exploded in an instant, like a haystack on fire.
"Traitor!"
"Knock him down!"
"Hand over the key!"
Angry roars came one after another, sweeping over like a tsunami.
The Soviet people's representative, a thin woman, was pushed by the surging crowd and staggered towards the parliament building.
"Stop!" Mou Xuan growled, and his supernatural power was activated instantly in 0.1 seconds.
He passed through the crowd like a flash of lightning and grabbed the shaky corner of the clothes of the Soviet people's representative.
At the critical moment, he saw a metal object slipping from the sleeve of Wei the mediation expert, reflecting a cold light in the sunlight - it was actually a miniature poison needle launcher!
In a flash, a figure jumped out from the crowd like a cheetah, and the M1 Garand rifle in his hand was firmly pressed against Expert Wei's back.
"Tell me! Who bribed you?" The old and hoarse voice was like a judgment from hell.
It’s Zhang the Cripple!
Expert Wei's face was pale, his lips were trembling, and he took out a blood-stained badge from his pocket tremblingly.
That is the emblem of the Alliance Elders Council, a symbol of power and glory.
However, on the back of the badge, there was a hideous symbol - the symbol of Mu Treasure Hunter!
The square was completely silent.
Mou Xuan suddenly pressed Wu Yinyang's shoulder: "Minister of Intelligence..." Mou Xuan suddenly pressed Wu Yinyang's shoulder with such force that it seemed as if he was going to crush his shoulder blade. "Minister of Intelligence, can you explain the surveillance time in your office?"
The air froze instantly, as if time had stopped.
Wu Yinyang's face, which was originally full of smiles, was now as stiff as the surface of a frozen lake.
His iconic mechanical eyes flashed an eerie red light, like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue, extremely dangerous.
"Leader Mou, what do you mean? My loyalty to the alliance is evident to all!" Wu Yinyang's voice became sharp, with a hint of barely perceptible panic, like a cat whose tail was stepped on.
Mou Xuan sneered and applied a little force to his fingers. "Loyalty? How do you explain the surveillance video of you meeting with Mu Treasure Hunter late at night? Don't tell me you were discussing with them how to better serve the people?"
Before he finished speaking, something strange happened!
A huge electromagnetic net suddenly dropped from the ceiling. Blue electric current jumped on the net wires, making crackling sounds, like the whisper of death.
This net is enough to instantly electrocute an ordinary person into charcoal.
"Haha, it seems that Minister Wu has been prepared!" Mou Xuan did not retreat but advanced, with a raging fighting spirit burning in his eyes.
However, before he could make any move, a figure had already stood in front of him.
It’s Chen Yao!
Her eyes were shining with dazzling light, and the crystal core energy poured out like a volcanic eruption.
The originally violent electromagnetic net seemed to have encountered a natural enemy in the face of her energy. It instantly twisted and deformed, turning into a huge restraining cage that trapped Wu Yinyang firmly inside.
"Want to trick my brother Xuan? Have you asked me?" Chen Yao was domineering, and her beautiful eyes stared at Wu Yinyang fiercely, as if she wanted to eat him alive.
Wu Yinyang's face turned as pale as paper in an instant.
He never imagined that Chen Yao's crystal core energy was so powerful that it could directly control electromagnetic force!
"You...you..." Wu Yinyang opened his mouth, but could not say anything. He could only watch himself being tightly bound by the electromagnetic cage.
Mou Xuan walked up to Wu Yinyang and looked down at him, his eyes as cold as a knife. "Wu Yinyang, you really impressed me. You hid it so well! Tell me, who ordered you to do this?"
Wu Yinyang remained silent, with red light flickering in his mechanical eyes, as if he was engaged in a fierce ideological struggle.
As time passed, the atmosphere in the square became extremely tense.
Everyone held their breath, waiting for Wu Yinyang's answer.
Suddenly, Mou Xuan felt a burning sensation in the palm of his hand.
He looked down and saw that the key left by Elder Bai was emitting a faint red light, and the temperature was getting higher and higher, like a red-hot iron.
At the same time, from the basement of the Parliament Building, there was a low sound of machinery running, as if a giant beast was slowly waking up.
In Wu Yinyang’s mechanical eyes, the outline of a giant crystal core launcher being assembled was reflected.
That thing can definitely blow the entire shelter up to the sky!
"Damn it, time is running out!" Mou Xuan cursed inwardly.
There is definitely something wrong underground in the Parliament Building!
He narrowed his eyes, looked at Wu Yinyang who was imprisoned by Chen Yao, and said word by word: "It seems that there are some things that I need to confirm myself."
Chen Yao's eyes were firm, she knew what Mou Xuan was going to do.
Without any extra words, she just silently took out a thermal imaging device from her waist and handed it to Mou Xuan.
"Be careful, Brother Xuan. I'll meet you outside." Chen Yao's voice was soft, but full of trust and concern.
