In the early morning, a black car passed by the future headquarters.

Because the Future Organization's headquarters was located in a busy downtown area, the Future Organization's security personnel did not initially pay much attention to it.

However, just as the vehicle was passing by, a black package was suddenly thrown down.

The future security personnel were immediately on high alert, and their warnings to their colleagues rang out in the night. "There's a bomb!"

Chaos suddenly erupted in the villa of the Future Organization, and people in the surrounding buildings also drew their weapons, preparing to go into battle.

However, after waiting for a long time, the black package still did not explode.

W had someone approach to open the package, only to discover that it contained six ears.

Without a doubt, it must be the six future members responsible for monitoring the movements of the Kamishiro organization who have already fallen victim to Kamishiro's treachery.

W's face was grim as he looked at Mike beside him. "Get your men moving. Kill all the Kamishiro infiltrators we've found."

Mike whistled and walked into the night. "I've been tired of this villa for a long time, it's too small. We should hurry up and buy that castle outside the city, and then buy a vineyard. We're better off living in a secluded place, so that we can distinguish friend from foe when someone gets close. I've said it before, you have to subdue those two organizations, Kamishiro and Kashima. Appeasement won't work."

Just then, W's phone rang, and Abby's voice came through. "I think I've found Kabri."

"Where?" W asked in a low voice.

"Someone saw him walking with another person in front of the Pearson Museum," Abby said. "I checked the surveillance footage and confirmed that the person with him was Li Minghao, the head of Kashima. He was wearing a scarf to cover his face, but when they were in front of a coffee shop on Danlak Street, the scarf was blown off by the wind behind him."

There are no security cameras on the street where the coffee shop is located, nor inside the coffee shop itself, but there happens to be one at the bookstore diagonally opposite the coffee shop.

The surveillance camera was installed very discreetly, intended for catching thieves. Li Minghao probably didn't even realize he'd been exposed.

So, Abby was extremely excited after finding the bookstore's surveillance footage, as if she had discovered the truth.

Most of the time.

People only believe the evidence they have painstakingly found; only that is convincing.

Abby continued, "This is the surveillance footage from 5 p. m. I'm currently following the footage to find him, and I expect to find him soon."

W sneered, "So it was all a show orchestrated by Kashima himself. He even had the mood to drink coffee. Go find Kabri and bring Li Minghao and him back to me."

After saying that, he turned to his subordinate and said, "Tell Mike that the Kashima people were killed too. Also, send the video of Li Minghao and Kabri together to Kamishiro, and let them fight it out!"

The Future Organization has gone berserk.

Thus, with his own saliva and a human life, Heikawaito completely opened the prelude to the bloody Amsterdam.

No organization holds back anymore.

Qing Chen the only one who felt a little regretful. There were two prerequisites for using Puppet Master: one was knowing the other party's real name, and the other was that his strength was higher than the other party's.

But now, all the members of Kamishiro and Kashima who were given the list and information by Zheng Yuandong have gone into hiding. Even if he can find some small fry, he still has to go through the trouble of interrogating them for their names.

The condition of "knowing the real name" becomes extremely demanding when fighting in unfamiliar environments.

While the atmosphere outside was extremely tense, Qing Chen was sitting in a small bar with Kabri.

Kabri suddenly felt like she was the boy's pet...

However, apart from Qing Chen, only Kabri in Amsterdam knew what had actually happened in the city.

He watched as Heikawaito was controlled and sent to his death, just like him.

Seeing Qing Chen transform into Li Minghao in an instant, misleading everyone.

This is the invisible hand in Amsterdam, guiding all the rhythms. No one cares about the person named "Qing Chen" anymore, but his influence in Amsterdam is actually limitless.

In fact, Qing Chen wanted to disguise himself as Kamiyo Kura directly, but Kamiyo Kura was too short, so he couldn't disguise himself at all.

According to the information provided by Zheng Yuandong, Kamiyo Kura is only 159 centimeters tall.

Qing Chen knew that Zheng Yuandong wouldn't joke about something like this; otherwise, he would have thought that the Kunlun leader was deliberately trying to smear the other party...

He muttered to himself, "No wonder the Spartan Spears didn't hit him when we attacked the God Era headquarters; he was just too short..."

At this moment, Qing Chen looked at Kabri and asked, "What exactly is the purpose of that ring on your pinky finger, and what are its containment conditions? If you don't tell me, you and Heikawaito will end up the same way."

Kabri thought to himself, "Nobody believes you. He's the only eyewitness in Amsterdam. Would this ruthless boy let me go?"

That's absolutely impossible!

Besides, how can I tell you if you don't untie me from this bondage?

Just then, several red, high-energy, high-temperature rays suddenly burst forth from the ground in the distance.

Suddenly, flames erupted in the distance.

Qing Chen knew that it was the ability of Mike, an A-level expert from the Future Organization, who had just used this method to kill Heikawaito today.

He was watching from among the pedestrians when he saw five red rays burst forth from the five fingers of the other man's right hand, crossing and slicing through Heikawaito's body.

The wound looked as if it had been charred, turning a dark brown color.

It seems that Mike has already started fighting against Kamishiro and Kashima. Qing Chen is very curious whether Kamishiro and Kashima have any hidden A-level masters. If not, wouldn't Mike be slaughtering them?

He began to feel a growing sense of unease for Kamishiro and Kashima.

You have to understand, this is their good neighbor in Asia, so it's understandable that Qing Chen is worried.

The main concern is that too few of them are dying.

Qing Chen glanced at Kabri: "I won't restrain you now. Tell me the containment conditions, okay?"

Kabri was secretly delighted. As long as the other party still needed his help, he still had a chance!

The next moment, Kabri suddenly felt that he had regained control of his body.

But he ignored Qing Chen and suddenly shouted, "Help me!"

He had barely uttered two words when that familiar sense of being a bystander washed over him again, and Kabri lost control of his body once more.

Qing Chen said with a smile, "You really are dishonest."

However, Kabri did not despair.

He knew that the Future Organization was definitely looking for him, and Abby, the former CIA agent, must be very close to their location.

The other party will definitely be able to track them down by following the clues that Qing Chen deliberately caused trouble for Li Minghao.

Kabri's shout was very loud, and the residents of the entire street will become new leads.

However, just as Kabri finished yelling, he suddenly realized that Qing Chen was not in a hurry to leave the street, but instead came to a small alley and helped him climb up the building next to the road.

The two stood quietly on the roof of the three-story building, looking down below.

Kabri realized something: Qing Chen had no intention of running away. The boy had realized that someone was following him, so he simply planned to kill the pursuer right here!

Kabri couldn't understand it.

Why should I? You're all alone!

If that girl could help, that would be fine, but she had already exhausted her mental energy and went back to her apartment to rest.

Over the past few days, Kabri, who had been observing the whole thing, had learned that the boy was only a C-Class, far weaker than the girl.

Therefore, he felt that Qing Chen was being a bit too arrogant, and this was his chance.

Hopefully Abby brought enough people and managed to rescue him in time.

The boy stood on the third-floor rooftop, a biting wind howling, flames shooting into the distance, and it seemed that even Mike couldn't end the battle quickly.

Qing Chen said with a smile, "I've been waiting for Mike to be held back, but Jindai and Kashima are useless, and I've been waiting all day."

Kabri was utterly astonished.

He felt that the young man's aura had suddenly changed, and that the person behind the scenes was about to step into the limelight tonight.

Qing Chen smiled and said, "A knife has just been forged, so we need to cut something to test its sharpness."

Just as Qing Shi's shadow said, when a ferocious beast arrives in an unfamiliar environment, it should first devour all the animals there.

In this way, predators can know where they stand in the food chain.

For Qing Chen, entering the C-Class realm was no different from a ferocious beast entering a new territory.

Five minutes later, more than a dozen future members suddenly appeared at both ends of the long street and surrounded this side.

They moved stealthily along the wall, scattered in different directions.

However, the moment they appeared, Kabri felt his hard-won mental energy being drained away again!

Eighteen gleaming Spartan Spears hovered in the air, aimed in eighteen directions, and burst forth simultaneously!

Eighteen directions, eighteen people.

The Spartan Spears pierced the darkness, producing a buzzing, resonant sound.

In almost an instant, the eighteen future members were caught off guard and nailed to the long street!

The stone pavement was smashed!

Kabri was filled with astonishment.

It really was just a blink of an eye!

The spear that descended from the void was like a judgment from the heavens!

Kabri never imagined that his abilities could be used in this way, and that he could strike so many targets at once.

In the past, his attack methods basically involved using three or six spears at the same time, like a dense artillery system, directly covering an area.

This is because he doesn't have the quick mind to calculate the trajectories of all the spears separately, nor does he have the multitasking ability to control them.

Now that this ability is in Qing Chen's hands, it seems to have become a multi-angle auto-aiming turret, locking onto any enemy on the long street.

This young man has turned covering firepower into a highly refined skill!

This method of engaging targets can reach far more targets than a sniper rifle can.

In terms of single-time efficiency, a sniper rifle can kill two people in one second, but this multi-angle auto-aiming turret can kill 18 people in one second.

Even Gatling can't be this effective when attacked from both sides!

Not only was Kabri astonished, but even the future members who were still hiding in the distance were completely bewildered. When did Kabri develop such a commanding presence on the battlefield?!

Is this still the Kabri they remember?

In their minds, Kabri was just a nouveau riche who only knew how to bombard others with firepower and flaunt his wealth...

However, one thing is certain: Kabri did indeed betray them.

Qing Chen smiled at Kabri, "Has this opened a door to a New World? It's a pity you can't use it yourself."

As they were talking, more members of the future rushed over. Someone said, "Kabri can only conjure eighteen spears at a time. He's used them all. Charge in and kill him before he has time to recover."

However, a sense of foreboding suddenly rose in Kabri's heart.

He really wanted to yell, "Stop fucking coming! If you come any more, I'm going to die here!"

But he couldn't shout it out.

In an instant, he felt as if a black hole had appeared inside his body, squeezing out all his remaining potential in one go.

Seventeen spears suddenly appeared in the black night sky.

Kabri's face paled visibly, and his eyes became sunken.

He knew that Qing Chen had already pushed him to his absolute limit.

The reason it manifests 17 roots is because its limit is that it can only manifest 17 roots.

It's like someone wrapping a stick around a spider's silk and then frantically spinning it, forcefully pulling all the silk out of the spider's abdomen...

That's fucking cruel.

The next second, those 17 spears once again carried out their judgment in the darkness!

In less than a minute, the Future Organization lost 35 members!

The harvesting efficiency is terrifyingly high.

The members were astonished. Wasn't it said that Kabri could only materialize 18 spears? It turned out that the nouveau riche had been hiding his true abilities all along!

As Abby recalled everything that had happened, he suddenly realized that Kabri might have had other motives when he joined the Future Organization.

The other side is pretending to be a nouveau riche, pretending to only be able to manifest 18 spears, and pretending to only know how to bombard everything—it's all a disguise!

Tonight's Kabri is the real Kabri!

Could it be that another organization deeply rooted in North America orchestrated all of this? Abby fell into doubt.

Since the time travel incident, the Future Organization has only experienced this level of casualties three times: the first time was in the Middle East, the second time was during the conquest of Europe by the Corleone and Shtri Family, and the third time is now!

Those future members who were originally prepared to rush forward hesitated. Just a few months ago, they were still ordinary people, but now they had to face such a brutal, war-like massacre.

Some people started backing away.

But Abby was not willing to give up. He knew at a glance that the second 17 spears meant that Kabri was already at his limit.

Even if Kabri had been disguising himself in the past, he wouldn't have been so outrageous!

He calmly said over the communication channel, "I'm sure Kabri is at his last gasp. This time, I'll lead the charge, and you follow behind us."

Abby sighed inwardly. His strength wasn't actually the top in the Future Organization, but he couldn't call Mike over right now, and the morale of the Future Organization wasn't as good as he had imagined.

Now that the conflict in Europe is over, he wants to have a serious talk with W about how it's time to improve the Future Organization.

In the past, they dominated Europe and had a smooth run without any major problems, but once the situation turned unfavorable, all their flaws were exposed.

Just like now, after only 35 people died, half of them wanted to escape.

At that moment, Abby led her team to quickly surround Qing Chen from behind the building. She asked, "Sniper, have you reached the designated position?"

However, the sniper did not respond at all.

The sniper who should have been aiming was now lying on the ground, blood everywhere, with a bloody hole in his forehead.

In terms of sniping ability, no one can compare to Qing Chen, including his ability to determine the most suitable sniping position.

At this moment, Zheng Yuandong was standing beside the sniper's corpse, coldly watching the battlefield in the distance.

Footsteps sounded behind him, along with the sound of a scepter striking the ground.

He Jinqiu even arrived, his laughter had already reached them. "So that's why that kid went on a killing spree tonight. Turns out he had Boss Zheng protecting him. It's really disheartening. He still doesn't trust Jiuzhou. He didn't even invite us to such a fun event."

Without turning his head, Zheng Yuandong said, "Why didn't you go and kill Mike?"

He Jinqiu shook his head with a smile, "No need to rush. Boss Zheng has never dealt with this Mike before. He seems carefree and extremely arrogant, but he is actually treacherous and cunning. The fact that he dared to make a move means that the Future Organization has a backup plan waiting for me. Tonight, I don't know if it's Shindai or Kashima who will fall for it, but in any case, neither of them will have a good ending."

Zheng Yuandong glanced at him and said, "You go ahead with your work, I'll keep an eye on things here."

He Jinqiu smiled and turned to leave, "Perhaps, we don't even need to lift a finger. This kid can turn Europe upside down. Look at what he did today, it's comparable to the outrageous actions of the Seventh Group of the Intelligence Department One Division in the Inner World."

As they were talking, Boss He walked away.

Zheng Yuandong glanced back at his back, and when he looked back at the rooftop, he saw Qing Chen and Kabri leap off the roof.

On the long street, two C-Class members moved with ghostly speed, their movements identical, rapidly approaching the future member.

The intersecting black figures resembled an extremely sharp pair of scissors. Whenever they crossed paths, the future members could almost hear the chilling snapping sound of scissors closing.

The two were so perfectly in sync that, to the members of the future, they seemed like twins with a soul connection.

The future member raised his hand and pulled the trigger, but Qing Chen's speed after advancing to C-Class was too fast, and he was already infinitely close to B-Class!

At this point, the speed at which future members could turn their arms to aim their guns at him was no longer keeping up with his movement speed!

Qing Chen's narrowed vertical pupils were fixed on all the future members, calculating the trajectory of their gun barrels.

Stone slabs, long street, gunfire!

The boy seemed to absorb everything into his mind, his restless fighting spirit ignited completely, and his brain worked like a precision machine!

Bullets kept kicking up pebbles around him and Kabri, but none of them hit him.

Abby was taken aback and involuntarily stepped back.

In an instant Qing Chen and Kabri passed by the members at the forefront of the Future Organization.

Surprisingly, Qing Chen didn't try to kill the target; he simply missed the opportunity.

It seems they rushed all this way just to miss this one chance.

But the next second, a drop of blood flew into the air.

Bathed in the dim light of the streetlights.

Where did the blood come from?!

Abby then noticed, by the light, that there seemed to be an extremely thin line connecting the two ghosts!

Cutting people is like cutting mud!

Sorry, watching the Chinese team's match took up some time, so the update is a few minutes late.
