You went on a blind date and presented an A-level wanted criminal as a meeting gift?

The night was as dark as ink.

Deep inside the abandoned air-raid shelter No. 704 in the western suburbs of Beijing.

This place is no longer the desolate place it once was; it has been transformed into a heavily guarded, technologically advanced underground fortress.

The blinding incandescent lights illuminated the huge control room as if it were daytime, and a dozen huge monitoring screens displayed real-time images of the air-raid shelter from all angles.

However, the atmosphere in the control room at this moment was so oppressive that it seemed as if water could drip from it.

Ghost, the mysterious man who wields immense power in the dark web and strikes fear into countless hearts, stares with a livid expression at his subordinate, who lies sprawled on the ground covered in blood like a rag doll.

It was Hawkeye, the ace sniper whose right hand had been crippled and whose dignity had been shattered by Lin Chen.

"He...he said...he's taken over all three of your tricks..."

Hawkeye's voice was broken and weak, his eyes filled with utterly crushed fear and despair.

"Now...it's his turn...let you...wash your neck clean...and wait..."

After saying his last words, Hawkeye's head lolled to the side, and he breathed his last.

It wasn't the injuries, but the deep-seated fear that drained him of his last bit of life force!

"Useless! Useless!!"

Ghost let out a beast-like roar, suddenly drew a golden Desert Eagle from his waist, and frantically pulled the trigger on Hawkeye's corpse!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The violent gunfire echoed in the confined underground space, making people's eardrums ache.

The other men in black in the control room were all so frightened that they didn't dare to breathe.

They had never seen their boss so out of control!

What kind of monster is that man named Lin Chen?

It's incredible that a ghost who is extremely calm, cruel, and arrogant could be driven to such a near-mad state!

After venting his anger, Ghost panted heavily, his blood-red eyes flashing with madness and ruthlessness.

He knew that Hawkeye's return alive meant that Lin Chen had mastered the method to track him.

It's no longer safe here!

"Initiating the 'Purification' program! Self-destructing in thirty minutes!"

The ghost issued the order with extreme decisiveness.

He walked to the control panel and began typing rapidly on the keyboard, copying all the core data he had accumulated over the years, especially top-secret information about the "Dark Moon" organization.

These are the assets he will use to make a comeback in the future!

"Boss, should we evacuate through Exit B?"

One of his trusted subordinates asked cautiously.

"Yes! Prepare the vehicles immediately and take all the gold and hard currency!"

The ghost roared without even looking up.

The entire underground fortress instantly transformed into a sophisticated machine, operating efficiently and intensely.

However, at that moment...

"Thump! Thump! Thump!"

A series of extremely heavy and rhythmic knocks suddenly rang out from outside the main door of the air-raid shelter, which was half a meter thick and made of special alloy.

The sound was exceptionally clear and eerie in the deathly silent underground passage!

Everyone in the control room froze instantly!

"Who?!"

The ghost let out a sharp shout, abruptly looked up, and stared intently at the surveillance screen displaying the situation outside the gate.

The screen displayed an eerie green hue due to the night vision mode.

A figure in a blue logistics employee uniform was seen standing anxiously outside the door, waving frantically at the camera.

"It's Ah Qiang!"

One of his men recognized the newcomer and exclaimed in surprise.

Ah Qiang is the subordinate codenamed "Scorpion" who was sent by Ghost to set fire to the logistics center!

Shouldn't he have been arrested by the police long ago?

How did I end up here?!

"Boss! Boss, it's me! I escaped!"

In the surveillance footage, Ah Qiang's face, filled with panic and relief, looked incredibly real.

He pointed to the dark forest behind him, his voice coming through the microphone at the door, hoarse from heavy breathing.

"The cops... the cops are behind us! They're catching up! Open the door and let me in!"

The ghost's pupils suddenly contracted, its eyes filled with suspicion and wariness.

What a coincidence!

Why did he have to come back just when he was about to run away?

"Don't open the door!"

The ghost said coldly.

"He's likely already under police control; this is a trap!"

"But boss..."

Another subordinate hesitated.

"What if Ah Qiang really did escape? If we just leave him out there, the brothers will lose heart! Besides, the self-destruct sequence has already been activated; one more or one less won't make a difference!"

The ghost's expression shifted between light and dark.

Time is passing by, second by second.

The red countdown to self-destruction was relentlessly ticking in a corner of the screen.

Outside, "A-Qiang's" cries grew increasingly mournful and desperate.

"Boss! For our brotherhood, help me out! I don't want to get arrested!"

Ultimately, that inherent arrogance and absolute confidence in this impregnable fortress overwhelmed that trace of vigilance.

Fuck!

Even if Lin Chen catches up, so what?

This is my territory!

If he dares to come in, this alloy door will be his coffin lid!

"Open the door!"

The ghost gritted his teeth and made a decision he would regret for the rest of his life.

"Let him in! Quickly!"

"yes!"

As his trusted subordinate pressed the switch, the heavy alloy door, weighing several tons, slowly opened with a rumbling sound.

"Ah Qiang" outside the door had a look of wild joy on his face as he scrambled through the crack in the door.

"Thank you, boss! Thank you, boss!"

He stumbled and ran towards the control room, filled with gratitude.

"Boom!"

The alloy door behind him slowly closed again, finally locking completely with a "click".

It separated the inside from the outside, creating two separate worlds.

However, just as the door was completely closed, and the locking sound, signifying absolute security, rang out...

The "A-Qiang" who was still running suddenly stopped.

He slowly straightened up, and the panicked and relieved expression on his face faded away like the tide.

Instead, there was a chilling, mocking, and eerie sneer.

This is not Ah Qiang at all!

Instead, he used a holographic camouflage patch and god-level micro-expression control to perfectly impersonate A-Qiang's Lin Chen in terms of appearance, physique, voice, and even heartbeat and thermal imaging features!

Death has already entered.
