boom!
A loud explosion rang out.
"Ugh~"
The Delta Tactical Squad was instantly blasted to pieces, with screams and cries of agony filling the air.
A slender figure leaped down from the second floor, her pistol flashing, each bullet seemingly tracked and aimed precisely at the brows of the wounded soldiers, reaping heads with abandon.
"Our team has been attacked by the enemy and requests reinforcements... Requesting!"
The wounded squad leader hid behind cover, veins bulging on his neck, and hysterically spoke into the walkie-talkie. Suddenly, a sharp dagger appeared at his neck, and with a slash, a splash of blood stained the Imperial Emperor Dragon's eyes.
"Total annihilation."
Beneath the Imperial Emperor mask, Su Sui's forehead was covered in sweat, and she was slightly out of breath. As a top agent of the Huaxia Bureau in 2035, she could easily take on ten people at once, but the body she was currently using belonged to a 15-year-old girl.
I'm physically exhausted and still a bit tired.
"What exploded?"
"Could it be that the island's volcano has erupted?"
"Holy crap? The lobby on the first floor exploded!"
"Holy crap, why are there so many soldiers lying on the ground? Hey, cosplay friends on the first floor, sleeping isn't allowed here."
" Yuejing, they seem to be a bit dead. Holy crap, I vaguely think I saw severed limbs."
" Suisui, turn on the lights in the lobby."
Jiang Sui was on the second floor, quickly did as instructed.
As the lights of the crystal chandelier in the hall came on, a bloody and violent scene appeared: corpses lying haphazardly, severed hands and legs everywhere, blood staining the floor tiles and steaming hot.
The air, thick with green smoke, was filled with the smell of rust.
"Holy crap! Ugh--"
Yin Long's face turned deathly pale. He was the first to vomit, unable to bear it any longer. The others had never seen such a bloody and gruesome scene before, and they all leaned against the railing and vomited as well.
Only Huyan Lan remained unfazed. She surveyed the mess in the first-floor lobby, and soon her gaze settled on the person standing behind the leather sofa, who was wearing a black windbreaker.
The moment the other person turned around, the familiar Emperor Hero mask appeared. Huyan Lan's pupils dilated, and she screamed, " Su Hang!"
"Sister Lan... Huyan Lan! The Imperial Fortress has been surrounded by terrorists! Quickly, take everyone to the basement for refuge!" The woman wearing the Imperial Emperor's Mask picked up a submachine gun and shouted loudly.
"It's not Su Hang." Huyan Lan was stunned. Judging from the voice, it wasn't hard to tell that the other person was a girl. "Wait, a terrorist?"
Huyan Lan realized the seriousness of the situation and hurriedly urged everyone to evacuate towards the basement, "Quick, quick, Suisui, Yaya, and you guys, stop throwing up, let's get to the basement!"
He watched as everyone stumbled and staggered towards the basement.
Su Sui's heart finally settled down. The basement of the Imperial Fortress was converted from an air-raid shelter. It had heavy, sealed doors that could withstand bomb attacks and was also equipped with a gas filter that could completely filter out anesthetic smoke.
"Next up is Sister Liuli."
Su Sui bit open the smoke grenades she had looted from the tactical squad and threw them all toward the gates and windows of the Imperial Fortress, preemptively sealing off the Delta Special Forces's view outside the Imperial Fortress.
He immediately grabbed his submachine gun, rushed up to the second floor, kicked open Liuli's room door, and shouted, " Sister Liuli, come with me to the basement!"
But the familiar Liuli that had been leaning against the door was nowhere to be seen. Su Sui's heart jumped into her throat, and she frantically searched everywhere, from under the bed and in the wardrobe to the bathroom.
There was no trace of Liuli.
"Damn, I've been tricked."
Su Sui's eyes darkened. That Delta Tactical Squad was nothing more than bait, meant to distract her.
"There's no trace of Sister Liuli's body in the room, which means Nurarihyon took Sister Liuli away."
Su Sui took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.
It's important to know that in 2035, the United States of America gave Nurarihyon two missions: first, to kill Liuli from the past and prevent her from developing a time machine; and second, if Liuli did develop a time machine, to destroy it by any means necessary!
Clearly, after regaining his memories, Nurarihyon did not carry out the mission assigned by the state, but instead took Liuli away on his own.
"Although I don't know what Nurarihyon is up to, there's no doubt that Sister Liuli is still alive. We need to find her as soon as possible."
Su Sui took out a portable tracking device. When the ferry came to Imperial Crown Island, she had installed a miniature listening device on Liuli. Now she could use the radio signal from the listening device to track her.
Soon, the tracker's LCD screen flashed a red dot signal belonging to Liuli, indicating that it was heading towards the eastern part of Imperial Crown Island.
" Delta Special Forces surrounded Imperial Fortress without attacking."
Su Sui lifted the curtains to observe the situation outside the fortress. Even if a 12-man tactical squad were wiped out, they remained unmoved, as if the orders they received from their superiors were simply to besiege the Imperial Fortress.
"I can't break out alone, I need to find some help." Su Sui headed out of the house towards the basement, her eyes gradually turning cold. "And while I'm at it, I'll check the headcount and find out who the Nurarihyon is!"
Imperial Fortress, basement.
The members of the Imperial Crown huddled in a corner, while Huyan Lan held the trembling Jiang Sui and her younger sister Huyan Ya, stroking and comforting them, " Suisui, Yaya, it's alright, your sister is here, don't be afraid."
"Damn it! How could terrorists show up at a perfectly good offline gathering of the Imperial Crown?" Hu Xiao Roar said, his teeth chattering. "What exactly is their purpose?"
"Will we even make it back home alive?" Yin Long's eyes were filled with despair. Images of dead bodies Flash wildly through his mind, his stomach churned, and he lowered his head, opening his mouth to vomit.
Zhou Keyu was pale, clutching his head, clearly terrified. "It's all my fault. If the offline gathering had been held in China, this horrific thing wouldn't have happened."
A sense of despair spread.
Just then, a loud banging on the door rang out.
"Ah--"
Jiang Sui and Huyan Ya were so frightened that they burrowed into Huyan Lan's arms.
Yin Long was so frightened that he burrowed into Hu Xiao's arms.
Zhou Keyu was so frightened that she burrowed into her own arms.
The people of the Imperial Crown were so frightened that they huddled together in each other's arms.
"Don't be afraid, it's alright." Huyan Lan patted her two younger sisters on the back, then stood up and nudged Yin Long and Hu Xiao.
"Damn it! Don't kill me!" Yin Long's legs went weak with fear.
"You son of a bitch, I'll fight you to the death!" Hu Xiao suddenly stood up, his eyes wide with anger, only to meet Huyan Lan's fierce gaze. He froze on the spot, " Xiao Lan?"
Huyan Lan gestured with her eyes, "You two come with me to the entrance and check the situation."
"Huh?" Yin Long pointed to his face, "Am I going too?"
"Enough with the nonsense." Huyan Lan delivered a punch.
"Ouch, that hurts!" Yin Long grimaced, clutching his head. Forced by the other party's intimidating presence, he had no choice but to follow, trembling.
We arrived at the sealed door.
Huyan Lan and Hu Xiao each stood on one side, adopting an offensive stance.
" Yin Long, look through the peephole and see how many people are outside."
"Oh, oh." Yin Long peered through the door. "There seems to be only one person outside, carrying a submachine gun."
Huyan Lan exchanged a menacing glance with Hu Xiao, then said in a deep voice, " Yin Long, I'll count to three, and you open the door."
Yin Long was stunned. "Isn't this just inviting trouble?"
3!
What if a terrorist shoots me?
"2!"
"Damn it! This young master wouldn't dare!"
"1!"
Yin Long gritted his teeth, stomped his foot, and suddenly pulled open the sealed door. Hu Xiao Roar pounced out, followed closely by Huyan Lan, who rushed out with his fists raised. But when he saw the terrorist's appearance, he froze!
