The target

Although it is morning, large buildings with complex structures like the International Convention Center actually turn on some lights during the day to ensure visibility inside.

Moreover, due to the Typhoon's landfall, overcast skies, and torrential rain, the sunlight intensity outside is already quite low.

Now that all the lights are off, although the entire International Convention Center is still visible, it is indeed much darker and visibility is significantly reduced.

And...

The problem isn't just with the "lighting facilities."

Soon, members of the Internal Team reported the situation they had confirmed to "Good Night".

"Reporting to Commander, the entire power system within the Convention Center has automatically shut down. The cause is currently unknown, but preliminary investigation suggests it may be a short circuit caused by Lightning strike. The Electrical Cabinet on Tiantaishan seems to have malfunctioned for some reason. Although the Player Mutual Aid Society believes that the Electrical Cabinet on Rooftop cannot possibly affect all the lines, we have decided to send someone up there to take a look."

"Due to the impact on the power system, the electrically controlled water valves have also been temporarily shut off... Therefore, the entire venue may experience a 'Water and power outage' for some time."

Listening to the report from the Internal Team, Good Night couldn't help but facepalm. "Damn Xi Ba, how did this happen..."

Yin Lan became even more vigilant. "A lightning strike on the Electrical Cabinet causing a power outage at this time... that's impossible—besides, isn't there Paper Kite on the Rooftop? If the lightning strike on the Electrical Cabinet caused a short circuit, it should have reacted, at least notified us!"

"I have a feeling this was done intentionally—maybe it's a signal from the 'Marauders'."

As Yin Lan spoke, Good Night cautiously said, "Xi Ba, don't scare me... The 'Marauders' operation signal? Where are they?"

He looked around. Due to the power outage, the meeting room below was also in turmoil and disturbance. Many of the volunteers from the "Player Mutual Aid Society" seemed to share Yin Lan's belief that this might be a signal of "some kind" attack!

After all, in the past two days... far too many murders have occurred in this International Convention Center!

But...

The "Player" in the "Death game" are ultimately quite accustomed to "death".

Although there was some commotion, since there were no actual abnormalities besides the power outage, the "Order" Internal Team quickly stabilized the situation.

For a moment, the volunteers were unsure whether they should continue dismantling the booth while the power was out—after all, many of their electrical tools were now unusable.

This disturbance, which could hardly be called "chaotic," didn't last long...

Then another unexpected event occurred.

The few people from the Internal Team who went to the Rooftop to check the condition of the "Electrical Cabinet" have now rushed down in a hurry.

And one of them...

He was even carrying a "Paper Kite" on his back!

"Comrade 'Good Night' —our 'Paper Kite' is seriously injured and unconscious on the Rooftop! He was attacked—he has many knife wounds and has lost too much blood!"

These words instantly tensed up Good Night and Yin Lan, who had been relaxed.

"All personnel on high alert—enemies have infiltrated from the Rooftop!"

Yin Lan shouted, her voice echoing throughout the International Convention Center, instantly putting the previously unaware Internal Team staff on high alert.

But similarly...

This highly efficient method of "information transmission" inevitably produces another side effect...

Confusion!

The "Player Mutual Aid Society" members, who were initially just "stirring up trouble," completely lost control after Yin Lan's shout!

Has the enemy infiltrated them?

This kind of vague information is most likely to cause people to feel anxious!

What kind of enemy? How many enemies? What is their objective? Where do they come from?

Because everything was "unknown," and given that many seemingly "expert" members of the "Player Mutual Aid Society" had been inexplicably killed, the accumulated panic was completely detonated at this moment!

Certainly...

This cannot be entirely blamed on Yin Lan, because according to common sense...

Although the chaos may intensify, it will certainly not spiral out of control.

Only...

Inside the Convention Center, in a place unnoticed by anyone, the emotions of these members were clearly being... stirred up.

The panic-driven, unusually large increase was like the last downpour before a dam breaks.

Quantitative change led to qualitative change.

"Attack! Run!"

"A 'Tier 4' is coming to indiscriminately slaughter people!"

"The 'Marauders' and the 'Psychology Society' have attacked!"

A series of desperate shouts rang out, and the crowd that had gathered near the various booths scattered like a tide. In the already dimly lit Convention Center, everyone used their "escape methods" and ran towards the Emergency Exit.

Even though Typhoon is raging outside, with torrential rain and strong winds, for them... at least compared to being inside this venue, it's safe!

In this situation, Good Night rushed over to check on "Paper Kite" and, although she was weak and unconscious, she was not yet dead, and made a judgment.

"No... Xi Ba, this power outage is definitely not right, but... the other side's goal is to create chaos in this Xi Ba!"

"All members of 'Order', remain Leng Jing, stabilize the situation immediately, and seal off the exits— Xi Ba, quick! Get the situation Xi Ba control!"

Good Night immediately issued the order.

Although he was still unclear about what kind of attack would occur next, or even whether it was the work of the "Marauders," Good Night could tell that...

The situation on the field is mostly orchestrated by someone behind the scenes.

That chaotic scene, with everyone fleeing, might just be what the other side wanted to see.

After all, if everyone runs outside, the Field Team that are deployed and patrolling outside the Convention Center will definitely be impacted!

And...

Could the culprit who severely injured the Paper Kite also be trying to slip away at this moment?!

So...

"No one from Xi Ba is planning to leave!"

Good Night Ye shouted, then leaped high from the second floor, his body billowing with black smoke, like a vengeful ghost, and landed in front of the main entrance of the Convention Center before everyone else.

He then pulled out two dark purple grenades, bit off the pins with his teeth, and threw them to the ground on either side.

Purple flames rose up, forming a wall of fire that sealed off the gate, preventing anyone from crossing it and leaving.

The members of the "Player Mutual Aid Society" stopped abruptly, glaring at Good Night, but before they could speak, they were intimidated by Good Night's demonic and twisted rage.

"Are you Xi Ba even human?! If a 'Marauders' expert or a 'Tier 4' were to show up, and everyone scrambled to escape, do you think only Xi Ba 'd survive?"

"If the 'Marauders' wanted to kill you... wouldn't they have people lying in ambush outside, Xi Ba?!"

"You bunch of Xi Ba, have you ever seen 'Marauders' fight? Huh?!"

"Get back there, all of you— Xi Ba — Internal Team, seal up the back door and the Emergency Exit too!"

From the back door, the voices of the Internal Team, already in position, could be heard from afar.

"Ready, Comrade Good Night!"

Yin Lan then arrived at the main entrance, stood beside Good Night, looked at Good Night apologetically, and then spoke.

"I am 'Dionysus,' the head of the Southwest Region of 'Order'! I am also the 'Safety Assurance Specialist' for 'Order's' operation in Shenzhen. Rest assured, no matter what kind of attack it is... I can handle it!"

Our "Order" member, a "Grandmaster," is within Tier 4 kilometers of this location. She can arrive at the Convention Center within five seconds, so there is absolutely no security issue here—please trust "Order"!

Yin Lan's words were resounding. The names and codenames—"Dionysus," "Grandmaster," and the "Order" organization itself—were all reassuring, enough to Leng Jing people down and instill a sense of security.

The commotion among the crowd gradually subsided, and the calming effect was clearly quite good.

But in the instant the chaos subsided...

"Boom!"

Inside the venue, another massive explosion rang out!

The main booth, which had been partially demolished and only retained its core structure, collapsed completely due to the violent explosion!

Intense energy turbulence appeared, clearly perceptible to everyone.

This time, before panic re-emerged, Yin Lan shouted again.

"Don't worry—I'll handle this! Everyone, retreat in an orderly fashion! Members of the Internal Team, evacuate the crowd to safe locations with cover!"

Yin Lan stepped forward, raised her hand, and an invisible force erupted, blowing away all the smoke and flames that had risen from the central exhibition stand due to the explosion.

Because of the earlier panic that caused everyone to scatter and flee towards the exit, no one was near the exhibition booth when the explosion occurred... Therefore, although the explosion was quite intense, no one was injured or killed.

Only...

The fact that there were no casualties does not mean the situation is optimistic.

After the Internal Team members systematically distributed the volunteers of the "Player Mutual Aid Society," Yin Lan and Good Night looked at the collapsed ruins of the main exhibition booth and realized a serious problem.

There was nothing there.

But... it shouldn't be empty!

The Item set left behind by "Benevolent King"... is gone!

Yin Lan gritted her teeth and spoke.

Good Night Xi Ba sighed, "Xi Ba! Because the latest intelligence says that those 'Marauders' grandsons' actually want to kill people, I subconsciously ignored Xi Ba... These Xi Ba still need [Item]!"

Yin Lan took a deep breath. "'Paper Kite' is seriously injured. You stay here and take care of him... I'll go after him!"

Good Night looked at Yin Lan: "Leng Jing down, you Xi Ba! Chasing after them... where are you going to chase them? Do you even know who stole it, or where they went afterward?"

As he finished speaking, suddenly...

The main exhibition stand collapsed a second time.

Good Night and Yin Lan leaned closer, and then they saw it clearly...

Beneath the main booth, a hidden Underground passage has been revealed!

Yin Lan whispered, "Although I don't know who stole it... at least now I know where to go to chase after it!"
