Immediately afterwards, an extremely cold voice came from the speakers:
"There's no need to concern yourself with the matter of the ley lines; I will handle it personally."
The voice was devoid of any emotion, like a command issued by a ruthless machine rather than a discussion.
"You ten men must immediately set out to thoroughly investigate the recent deaths of the assassins and stabilize the situation as soon as possible."
The assassins, seemingly surprised that the person in the main seat was actually present, responded in unison like startled birds:
"yes."
As the response faded, the main seat fell into a deathly silence once again.
For a moment, the entire room fell silent.
That person seems to have already left.
But no one could be sure whether there was actually someone sitting in that mysterious main seat.
If so, what kind of person would they be?
Immediately following orders, the group sprang into action. Ten dark figures, like phantoms, swiftly emerged from the Assassin Alliance and vanished into the heavy rain in an instant.
Just as the ten dark figures disappeared.
A figure carrying a huge sack came speeding by and arrived at the base's hidden entrance in the blink of an eye.
"Stop!" a sharp shout rang out.
A stone at the entrance suddenly transformed back into a human-shaped sentinel, stopping the people carrying sacks.
"Special inspection." The sentry said expressionlessly, clearly indicating that the Assassin's Guild was now on high alert.
"I'm Xiao Dong, one of Supervisor Guo's subordinates. I just left here a few days ago, don't you remember?" Xiao Dong reminded him, carrying a sack.
"Inspect," the sentry said coldly again.
Xiao Dong sighed inwardly and had no choice but to slowly put the sack on his shoulder to the ground.
Then he took the ring off his hand, handed it to the sentry, and said:
“I was ordered by Supervisor Guo to retrieve Xu Tang’s body.”
After saying that, Xiaodong gently untied the rope at the mouth of the burlap sack and casually lifted it up.
The moment the sack was opened, a headless, red body suddenly tumbled out.
The body was an eerie dark red, as if it had been soaked in blood.
The sentry remained expressionless despite seeing this.
He first carefully examined Xiao Dong's ring, then bent down and carefully looked at the ring on the corpse's hand.
After confirming that everything was correct, the sentry nodded slightly and said in a stiff tone:
"Go in."
After receiving permission, Xiaodong re-tied the sack, carried it inside.
Almost as soon as Xiaodong went in, the sentry on duty had already informed the internal staff.
At this moment, Manager Guo was sitting at his desk, his brows furrowed and his face full of worry.
These unruly killers were inherently unruly and difficult to manage.
But now, the higher-ups are making the assassins investigate the reasons for their recent string of deaths, which is simply putting them in a difficult position.
At this moment, the assistant rushed to Manager Guo and whispered the news:
"Manager Guo, someone has brought back Xu Tang's body."
"What?"
Upon hearing the news from his subordinate, Manager Guo suddenly stood up, his face showing a rare expression of excitement.
Because he knew very well that Xu Tang's body and the cause of his death were extremely unusual.
This could very well be the key to solving the counterattack against the Assassin Alliance.
Supervisor Guo immediately gave the order, his voice filled with anxiety:
"Quickly, notify the autopsy team immediately and have them conduct a detailed autopsy on Xu Tang's body."
"Remember, no detail can be overlooked! I need to know how he died!"
"Yes." Upon receiving the order, the subordinate did not dare to delay for a moment and turned to leave quickly.
Manager Guo immediately set to work, heading towards the Assassin Alliance's laboratory.
When Supervisor Guo arrived at the laboratory entrance, several staff members dressed in white protective suits and wearing protective masks rushed over.
At this moment, Xu Tang's headless body was placed on the huge metal platform in the center of the laboratory.
Supervisor Guo stepped forward, greeted the autopsy team, and said directly without beating around the bush:
"Let's get started."
Upon hearing the order, the head of the autopsy team nodded and walked toward the metal table.
Two autopsy personnel immediately followed, placing the box next to the metal strip and proceeding with practiced movements.
Despite being accustomed to all sorts of bloody scenes, the autopsy team members still couldn't help but gasp when faced with the headless corpse that still glowed with a faint red light.
But their professionalism allowed them to quickly calm down, pick up their tools, and immediately begin working.
Time passed slowly, and the group carefully examined every detail of the corpse.
After a thorough examination, the autopsy team quickly reached a preliminary conclusion.
The head of the autopsy team slowly walked to Supervisor Guo's side and reported in a solemn tone:
"Manager Guo, we can confirm that the deceased was killed by a single blow, and the cause of death is very strange, as if his head suddenly exploded."
"People die instantly, without any time to react."
After listening to the report from the head of the autopsy team, Supervisor Guo's already gloomy face became even more unpleasant.
This is Xu Tang, ranked eleventh on the assassin list!
It's utterly absurd that a top assassin could be killed in a single blow, without even having a chance to use his trump card.
Supervisor Guo looked at Xu Tang's body and frowned deeply.
"What kind of power could cause such terrifying damage in an instant?"
'Could there really be such a powerful enemy lurking in the shadows, deliberately ambushing our assassins in an attempt to wipe out our Assassin Alliance in one fell swoop?'
Thinking about this, Manager Guo couldn't help but feel a chill of fear.
Just as the anatomist was about to continue investigating the lower half of the body, Xu Tang's fingers twitched slightly.
"Team...team leader..."
The autopsy staff rubbed their eyes hard, hoping they were seeing things.
"What's wrong? Is there some new discovery?" The head of the autopsy team asked and quickly walked over.
The autopsy technician replied in a trembling voice:
"The...the corpse...it seems to have moved!"
The head of the autopsy team glanced at Xu Tang's headless and disemboweled body.
After observing carefully, he shook his head in disappointment.
Unexpectedly, this apprentice, who had followed him for so long, could still experience hallucinations due to excessive tension and fear.
Just as the head of the autopsy team reached out to take over from his apprentice and continue the autopsy, Xu Tang's corpse suddenly emitted an eerie red light without warning.
The red light, like a dazzling red crystal, emitted a mesmerizing luster, reflecting in the eyes of everyone present.
Before anyone could react, the headless corpse sprang up like a spring and lunged at the nearest anatomist.
Xu Tang flipped his five fingers at an incredible angle and instantly plunged them into the neck of the anatomist beside him.
The rotting knuckles made a popping sound like popping beans.
