[You must obtain that thing from Yan Luo. It's very useful for our endeavor!]

In the brightly lit room, only the silhouette projected on the main seat was indistinct, and the voice was severely distorted.

Besides that projection, there were five other people in the room.

"Are you asking us to kill someone in the town? Boss, in this era, there aren't any 'lawless lands'!"

A young man with a ghostly mask tattooed on his forehead spoke lazily, his feet propped up on the table.

The relationship between Abyssal Believers and the United Government is convoluted, but even so, if they murdered in town, the Believers couldn't help them escape punishment.

Because in this world, the United Government is the supreme authority.

Although each major domain acts independently and noninterference is practiced, if someone proposes to dissolve the United Government and return the world to the lost decade prior, many people would disagree.

In this era, officials hold unprecedented power, refusing any external group to intervene.

"Actually, there is." A seemingly gentle woman sitting beside the young man spoke softly, directing her eyes toward the main seat.

The figure on the main seat made a promise: [If you can complete the mission this time, I will bring you up to Celestial City.]

Celestial City is probably the world's only 'lawless land.' Within that city, the United Government's influence has been reduced to its minimum; many natives only know the affluent who inhabit Celestial City and show disdain toward the government.

This is the result of years of subtle education by Celestial City's wealthy, and they dare to do so because Celestial City has become self-sufficient, located in outer space beyond surface military reach.

Because of this, as long as Celestial City doesn't rebel against the United Government and remains under its jurisdiction, the officials are willing to turn a blind eye.

The tattooed young man whistled, "Just waiting for your words, boss!"

[The premise is that you get hold of that thing!]

After saying this, the projection on the main seat vanished.

The five in the room exchanged glances, and soon, a burly woman snorted coldly, "Playing tricks!"

The five present weren't mercenaries paid off—they were all Abyssal Believers, yet their superior wouldn't even show his face.

"An Zhen Ni, you better drop that habit now, especially since we will soon live in Celestial City." The tattooed young man shook his head, imagining the wonderful life in the city.

An Zhen Ni's eyes widened, "Inoue Takuya, don't presume to lecture me!"

Inoue Takuya glanced at her, scoffing without saying a word.

Such disregard made An Zhen Ni furious; she clenched her fist and stood.

"Alright, alright." The gentle Shangguan Taohua intervened to mediate, stopping the two, then turned to the captain to change the subject, "Boss, what's our next mission?"

The squad's captain was a pale, gaunt young man with a scar stretching from his brow to his lip.

Caressing his scar, Liu Chuanji pondered.

After a moment, Liu Chuanji had some ideas, turning to the last member of the five-person squad to ask, "Old Wang, what do you think?"

Old Wang was just Old Wang—nobody knew his real name. His appearance was unremarkable, but he was the one who had killed the most among the squad.

"Yan Luo rarely goes out; most of the time, he stays at home. If we want to kill him in town, there's only one way—first, disable the alarms in his home and on the street, then break into his house and kill him directly." Old Wang's voice was low and somber, resembling deadwood.

Liu Chuanji nodded, "That's similar to what I was thinking, but I intend to attack when Sasa visits Yan Luo's house, using her life to threaten Yan Luo."

To deal with Yan Luo, they had already investigated his interpersonal network thoroughly, knowing that Yan Luo's closest contact on Crimson No.2 is Sasa from Lingquan University. Even if Yan Luo is resolute, he should hesitate when a friend's life is at risk.

If Yan Luo truly has a heart of stone and doesn't care about Sasa's safety, there's nothing they can do.

This squad of five included four Sequence Four members, with Liu Chuanji himself being Sequence Three. Together, they were totally capable of overpowering Yan Luo; however, abducting Sasa might be easier.

Liu Chuanji looked at the others, "Does anyone have anything to add?"

He didn't seek others' opinions to hear if they had a better plan; he believed his plan was nearly perfect, and others couldn't come up with something superior.

Just as Liu Chuanji expected, no one opposed the plan.

Liu Chuanji was very pleased with their response, proudly curling his lips, "Then prepare and charge the gates of Crimson No.2 after it's done, escape from Crimson No.2!"

......

Mysteriously, Yan Luo had an uneasy feeling.

Though unable to pinpoint why, he felt stalked.

Carefully considering, Yan Luo quickly deduced that the Abyssal Believers were behind it.

Only the Abyssal Believers would target him at this moment.

With enhanced physical functions, Yan Luo's perception increased, and his once ephemeral sixth sense became nearly tangible; his intuition had proven effective while evading City-breaking Level Demons before.

Thus, Yan Luo trusted his gut instinct strongly.

Thinking of this, Yan Luo immediately contacted Sasa: "Don't come over these days. I have a bad feeling; the Abyssal Believers might take action against me."

On the other side of the communication, Sasa asked in shock: [Do you think they'll make a move in town?]

"Yes, because there are Abyssal Believers within Celestial City, and the attack on me likely originated from the believers there."

Yan Luo's mind raced, contemplating every possibility.

Celestial City is Blue Star's only lawless zone—some wealthy individuals flee there after committing crimes on the surface; once settled, they continue manipulating surface companies. Yan Luo was aware of these practices.

[Alright, I won't come then.]

Sasa knew she'd be a hindrance; if the Abyssal Believers did plan an attack in town, she would only cause trouble if she went.

[Since you suspect the Abyssal Believers might attack you, shouldn't you call for help?]

"No, I don't plan to alert the enemy."

Yan Luo knew he could summon Sequence Three Hunters anytime, given his connections on Crimson No.2, but he didn't want the Abyssal Believers to escape.

"I'll stay in the gravity chamber for these days. If they dare attack, it's them who will perish."

If the gravity chamber's walls were breached, the energy accumulated inside would gush out; Yan Luo himself would be safe, but outsiders wouldn't.

Moreover, Yan Luo wouldn't fight alone, and he would have Keke armed, hiding in a room awaiting his signal.

The Abyssal Believers probably wouldn't anticipate Yan Luo's intuition to be so strong, sensing them before they could strike.

Even though the sensing lasted only a moment, Yan Luo had always been cautious and wouldn't lower his guard.

However, while he wouldn't have Sequence Three Hunters stay with him to avoid alerting the enemy, it didn't mean he wouldn't seek help.

After disconnecting with Sasa, Yan Luo messaged Wu Zechuan, informing him about the potential Abyssal Believer attack.

Wu Zechuan could elementalize, moving rapidly; if he signaled enable promptly, Wu Zechuan could traverse half the town in ten seconds to assist him.

After receiving Yan Luo's message, Wu Zechuan simply replied, "Okay."

Upon seeing this word, Yan Luo gathered his belongings and entered the gravity chamber.

For the next few days, he would reside in the gravity chamber, activating the gravitational instrument instantly once he sensed an intrusion.

The trap was set; now just waiting for those Abyssal Believers to fall into it!
