The sequence is too involutional, luckily I am too.

After confirming that the eavesdropper had followed Chen Ye, Lu Yan went back to his room.

These measures are only preventative, but if something really goes wrong, we still have to rely on our own strength.

Just before he raised his hand to close the door, Lu Yan's gaze unconsciously drifted toward Yao Qing's door next door.

So much time has passed since her breakthrough, yet Yao Qing still hasn't emerged from seclusion.

Is this special for all primordial sequences, or is it only the witch sequence that is like this?

Lu Yan became more and more curious, but he still didn't bother Yao Qing.

Nothing more than the fear of death.

The moment he looked toward Yao Qing's door, the martial artist sensed a subtle yet resolute killing intent.

Although he had no evidence, he was certain that the murderous intent came from his teacher!

"This doting father is completely beyond saving."

Lu Yan sighed inwardly, quickly closed the door, and decided to avoid seeing it altogether.

Meanwhile, in Yao Xiangyang's office.

"This kid, he definitely has some other ideas!"

Yao Xiangyang snorted coldly, his eyes filled with hostility.

If the tracing project hadn't been so significant, he would never have left Lu Yan, that blond-haired kid, with Yao Qing.

"Old Yao, I'm not trying to be mean, but is it really necessary to keep an eye on things like this all the time?"

Russell slumped on the sofa and casually tossed an invitation to Yao Xiangyang.

"Here, Mu Yun's invitation to the dinner party."

Yao Xiangyang didn't open it to check, but instead asked, "You received it too?"

"Nonsense, I'm the Vice Minister of the Judgment Department, do you think Mu Yun would dare to overlook me?"

Russell scoffed, "But what is Mu Yun thinking? We've arrested a third of their management, and they still want to invite us?"

"Perhaps they have ulterior motives, or perhaps they're planning a drastic measure? Who knows?"

Yao Xiangyang remained expressionless and said, "Let's wait and see. I have a feeling that this banquet has ulterior motives."

"Okay, I'll do whatever you say."

Russell stretched to make himself more comfortable.

"I didn't get enough of a good time last time, so I hope this time I can have a more satisfying experience."

Yao Xiangyang was speechless, then scolded, "Are you so free that you hang around here all day? Why aren't you going to arrest them?"

Russell was speechless upon hearing this, and said, "Someone kindly invited you to dinner, and you have the nerve to arrest them?"

"Is there a conflict?" Yao Xiangyang asked seriously.

Russell remained silent, waved his hand, and left on his own.

After Russell's figure disappeared through the office door, Yao Xiangyang raised his hand and lightly tapped the control panel on the desktop.

The glass screen wall that was originally displaying Lu Yan's room suddenly changed, and a dense array of surveillance footage spread out, covering every corner of the entire 056 shelter.

No one knew that the surveillance range of the glass curtain wall was never limited to the Trial Department Tower.

This secret is known only to the Minister of the Adjudication Department.

……

In Lu Yan's room, the lights were dim, and he was once again immersed in cultivation. His blood and qi circulated quietly, perfectly resonating with the weapon in his hand and the cultivation method.

He held a dark gold dagger in his hand, his figure flashing through the darkness like a ghost. His movements were swift and stealthy, leaving only a few tiny, almost imperceptible marks in his wake, without making the slightest sound.

When he stopped again, a subtitle suddenly flashed before his eyes.

[Bronze-level Ink Concealment Breathing Technique (Proficient): 12%]

Unlike the expansive and powerful breathing technique of the Shaking Mountain Breathing Method, which uses brute force to overcome skill, the Ink Concealment Breathing Method was created purely for assassination.

Combined with the eavesdropper's Shadow Travel ability and Guo Qingzhi's Dark Gold Dagger, it's simply perfect.

Suddenly, Lu Yan flipped over and sheathed the dark gold dagger, replacing it with the Wind-Slicing Soft Sword. With a single slash, he moved as swiftly as a breeze and reached the doorway.

[Bronze Wind Breathing Technique (Proficient): 15%]

The two completely different weapons and fighting styles can be switched seamlessly and naturally.

"Different weapons require different fighting styles. If it weren't for the limited number of weapons, the Extreme Warrior would have virtually no weaknesses in close combat."

Lu Yan's hands kept moving, but he was seriously considering things in his mind.

The ultimate warrior can currently only bind to five types of weapons: the Emerald Hand for close combat, the Dark Gold Dagger for sneak attacks, and the Wind Slash Soft Sword for quick strikes.

To avoid leaving any weaknesses, we need to carefully consider the remaining two weapons.

At that moment, the subtitles in front of me started flashing again.

The eavesdropper arrived at a magnificent villa and sensed many familiar presences within.

These familiar auras... do they refer to the followers of the Demon God?

Seeing this, Lu Yan finally stopped cultivating and focused on checking the information sent back by the eavesdropper.

But at that moment, he suddenly felt a blur before his eyes, as if his consciousness was being pulled by an invisible force, and the next second, he found himself in an unfamiliar, luxurious room.

Lu Yan instinctively became alert, only to see Chen Ye walk past him as if he hadn't noticed his presence at all.

He was slightly startled, and before he could react, the scene before him suddenly shattered. When his consciousness returned, he was still standing in his room, with nothing unusual about him.

"illusion?"

Lu Yan frowned slightly, his heart filled with doubt, and looked at the panel again with focused attention.

The scene changed again, and this time, not only was there a visual, but there was also sound.

Is this the eavesdropper's perspective?

Lu Yan's eyes lit up; he hadn't expected that the eavesdropper's advancement would have such an effect.

In that case, wouldn't nothing be able to be hidden from him?

The perspective shifts again, and we find ourselves inside an office.

Chen Ye's face was grim as he said, "Dad, the invitation has already been delivered to Lu Yan."

"Very good, there's nothing else for you to do after this. Go back and rest, just remember to pick up Lu Yan on time."

"Remember, once you're back, stay in your room and don't go anywhere!"

Chen Li leaned back in his chair, his eyes closed, seemingly lost in thought.

Chen Ye hesitated, but due to Chen Li's past authority, he obediently withdrew.

"It seems that Chen Li is the mastermind behind everything, and Chen Ye is just a puppet."

Lu Yan suddenly realized why Chen Ye acted that way when facing the cultists in the gray fog last time; Chen Li clearly hadn't told his son anything.

Is it protection? Or did they never even expect anything from the other party?

Lu Yan suppressed his doubts and continued to concentrate on observing the screen. He saw Chen Li slowly open his eyes, a sinister glint in them, and raise his hand to turn a jade carving on the table.

With a soft "click," a dark, hidden door slowly emerged from beneath the desk, emanating a faint, chilling aura.

Chen Li got up, glanced cautiously at the office door, and after confirming that no one was there, bent down and slipped through the hidden door.

The eavesdropper dared not delay, immediately concealing his presence and silently following behind, sneaking into the hidden door.

The passage behind the hidden door was long and narrow, dimly lit, and filled with the stench of decay and blood.

Chen Li walked briskly for a long time before finally stopping, pushing open a stone door at the end of the passage, and stepping into a spacious square.

But the moment the eavesdropper stepped into the square, a deadly sense of crisis suddenly struck, as if he were being watched by some terrifying being.

It dared not linger for a moment and left without hesitation.

"who!"

Chen Li also sensed something amiss and quickly chased after them through the passage, but found nothing unusual.

"Is it an illusion?"

Chen Li frowned slightly, searched for a while longer, but still couldn't find any clues, so he had to return to the square.

"Your Excellency, everything is ready, we are just waiting for Lu Yan to arrive."

Chen Li bowed respectfully to the black altar in the center of the square, his tone humble: "However, for safety's sake, it may be necessary for Your Excellency to take action personally."

The shadows writhed, and the voice of the Shadow Serpent Messenger emanated from them.

"I will act as appropriate; you just need to focus on your own business."

"Remember, starting tonight, do not leave within 100 meters of the altar. If anything happens to the altar, you will bear the consequences!"

"Yes! Your subordinate will do his utmost and dare not make the slightest mistake!" Chen Li nodded respectfully, bowing even lower.

Once the Shadow Serpent Messenger's aura had completely dissipated into the shadows, Chen Li slowly raised his head. The humility in his eyes faded, replaced by a hint of ruthlessness and smugness.

He raised his hand and pressed a button at the edge of the square, and the lights around the square instantly lit up, dispelling all the darkness.

In the vast square, rows of strong yet contorted figures stood in neat rows.

They were strangely shaped, with bluish-gray skin, lifeless eyes, and a faint aura of eeriness and bloodlust emanating from them; they were clearly not normal humans.

"After all these years of saving, it can finally be put to good use."

……

Meanwhile, the eavesdropper returned successfully, and the sequence progressed accordingly.

[Sequence 8 - Eavesdropper: 24%]

After watching all the footage transmitted by the eavesdropper, Lu Yan's expression instantly turned serious, and he ran towards Yao Xiangyang's office without hesitation.

Just before the eavesdroppers left, he managed to capture some stunning footage.

"Cultists of the Mystic God, Resident Evil... Goodness, I could never claim all the credit!"
