"Divine guidance!" Park Sanyi Number Two praised, a smile appearing on his face. He was actually quite proud of this operation.
He made a show of adjusting his clothes. "Let’s go to the exit of the emergency passage. A skyscraper with over three hundred floors has many people. Pick out those we need and take them all away."
"Rest assured, Angel Envoy, we have committed the appearances of those people to heart," one of the followers said.
They swiftly reached the exit, where the followers took out several sealed gas canisters and released some sort of colorless and odorless gas outside.
Park Sanyi Number One had secretly loosened the valve somewhat and would check it daily to prevent anyone from discovering and "repairing" it.
In the eyes of Park Sanyi Number Two, the cunning of the plan was like using a small force to move a great weight. Who would have thought that the real key lay in a tiny valve within a skyscraper over three hundred floors high?
Once the operation was underway, he would crank the building’s water supply pressure to the maximum. The loosened valve, unable to withstand it, would burst first, causing water to quickly flood into the emergency passage.
Those two traitors, as well as other targets within the building, would all use this emergency passage, not any other.
That was precisely why Park Sanyi Number Two had devised this plan.
The water had been secretly laced beforehand by members of True Knowledge Sin with a certain drug—colorless, tasteless, and harmless on its own, so as not to alert the two traitors, who were both Professionals.
Running all the way down, their shoes soaked through, the dosage of the drug that had seeped into their bodies would already be sufficient. The moment they exited the passage and inhaled that gas, they would immediately feel a strong anesthetic effect.
Both substances were harmless on their own; only when mixed would they take effect.
All he had to do was wait for them, like a hunter lying in wait, at the exit of the emergency passage.
As for why not use a small remote-controlled bomb to blow up the water pipes, it was because one of the traitors was a "Mountain Wolf Man" with an exceptionally sharp sense of smell, able to distinctly identify the scent left by any explosive.
True Knowledge Sin had disguised the entire operation as a terrorist attack, making the planting of bombs in other locations perfectly plausible.
However, if the "Mountain Wolf Man" smelled a bomb inside the emergency passage, he would definitely get suspicious. What kind of attack would target a water pipe? Sir, there must be something fishy here!
True Knowledge Sin didn’t act directly against the two traitors. Firstly, they were both strong Professionals, and ensuring a swift victory was difficult. A prolonged engagement might attract the Bureau of Mystic Security.
Secondly, they wanted to capture them alive, for the traitors possessed important artifacts of the Holy Church that had to be recovered.
Park Sanyi Number Two took great pride in his strategy: it was meticulously interconnected and flawlessly crafted.
Moreover, they could also round up those weapons experts, celebrities, and elites along the way—all of whom would serve a great purpose later.
Standing at the door with his followers, he felt like a farmer who, after a season of hard work, was finally about to reap the harvest.
Soon, he heard dense footsteps, accompanied by people’s terrified screams, both carrying out from inside. A skyscraper with over three hundred floors was crowded with people; even though many emergency passages diverted the flow, this one route was still filled with a deluge of them.
Finally, BANG! The door was burst open, and a flood of people rushed out! However, contrary to expectations, the crowd that should have collapsed showed no sign of doing so, each person scrambling past in a mad dash for life.
A few followers blocked the entrance, ready to identify their targets and clear out the unconscious "irrelevant ones" to prevent them from blocking the doorway.
Taken by surprise, they were knocked down by the swarming crowd, and then one foot after another trampled them...
The followers screamed in agony. Park Sanyi Number Two, who had been standing aside with his hands clasped behind his back, looked on, bewildered. What is happening? Why aren’t these people falling?
Inside the emergency passage, the stream of fleeing people was relentless. Those few followers had already been trampled beyond recognition, their screams growing fainter until they faded away.
Only then did Park Sanyi Number Two notice: no water was flowing out of the emergency passage!
Impossible! Number One checked it just this morning; the valve must be loose!
He turned and rushed back to the control room. The pressure gauge still indicated maximum pressure, yet the valve clearly hadn’t burst!
The drugs and gases were exceedingly expensive. True Knowledge Sin had invested massively in this plan. How could it end ?
Shaking with rage, Park Sanyi Number Two bellowed, "Where did it go wrong!"
—In fact, if Chen Gu knew his entire plan, he would have told him that the more precise, the more supposedly interlocked a scheme, the more prone it is to problems...
Enraged, Park Sanyi Number Two smashed the pressure gauge with a fierce punch. "No matter what, the operation must not fail! The True God won’t pity any losers!"
"If strategy won’t work, then we fight!"
"Capture the traitors, retrieve the sacred artifact, and the True God will still bestow grace upon me!"
He strode out, pulling a pitch-black vial from an inner pocket and, clenching his teeth, injected it into his own neck.
He collapsed on the spot, letting out a pained roar as his body rapidly mutated...
When Ken and Man Suling burst out of the emergency passage, they were stunned by the sight before them: shattered corpses, rivers of blood, and viscera strewn everywhere.
A gigantic black monster was seated amidst the corpses, gnawing on a human leg.
Hearing their footsteps, the black monster slowly turned. It grinned, its maw stretching wide. "Traitors, accept the True God’s punishment!"
Man Suling’s voice trembled with fear. "Mutagenic stimulant! You actually made this devilish thing! You’re truly insane!"
"And you even used it on yourself! You’re the most foolish of all madmen!"
Park Sanyi Number Two stood up. His body was exceedingly unstable; the mere act of standing caused five additional legs to sprout from various places on his body!
Clearly incensed by Man Suling’s words, he glared with blood-red eyes. "Traitors must receive the True God’s punishment! Fulfill the True God’s mission, and I shall receive the True God’s blessing!"
This glare caused six more eyes to burst forth on his face!
"You go first!" Ken pushed Man Suling aside, but before he could use his abilities, a pitch-black claw shot up from the ground, seized his throat, and lifted him high!
Shoved by Ken, Man Suling was about to crash into a wall, but she gracefully pressed a hand against it, her body twirling as she leaped up, her limbs adhering to the ceiling like suction cups.
Seeing the pitch-black claw catch Gao Mengjiu, her eyes immediately turned into green wolf-like eyes. She snarled at Park Sanyi Number Two, and with a thrust of her limbs, transformed into an afterimage as she charged.
Suddenly, the ceiling behind Man Suling shattered, and seven or eight gigantic black claws pierced through, firmly grasping her from behind.
Man Suling let out a low wolf howl, struggling fiercely but unable to break free.
Ken, in contrast, pressed his hands against the black claw. A peculiar vibration emanated from them as he swiftly found the claw’s resonance frequency!
