"Boss, that guy seems to have gone mad recently, he's been living in the gravity room."

Inoue Takuya, responsible for surveillance, used the [Mechanic]'s ability to hack into Yan Luo's home cameras and reported to his captain with frustration.

Although the data indicated Yan Luo was a training fanatic, he never expected Yan Luo to be this extreme, spending day and night in the gravity room and rarely leaving.

Even if he left the gravity room, the timing was very irregular.

This made it very difficult for them to schedule the attack.

Moreover, in recent days, Sasa hadn't shown up, as if Yan Luo already knew they were planning an attack and had prepared everything in advance.

With this thought, Inoue Takuya couldn't help but waver, "Boss, maybe we should just forget it. We actually don't need to attack Yan Luo in town; we can wait until he enters the Abyss to ambush him. Although the boss wants us to get that item from him as soon as possible, that item has been with Yan Luo for so long, a few more days won't make a difference."

After all, Yan Luo is a Hunter and will definitely enter the Abyss to hunt.

Not to mention, if he wants to get stronger, he has to rely on demon blood; just physical training won't make him strong.

Hearing Inoue Takuya say this, Liu Chuanji was also somewhat tempted.

Although he had devised a plan to attack Yan Luo, in reality, he didn't want to become a wanted criminal.

Going to the Celestial City meant they lost the opportunity to enter the Abyss, meaning they could never get stronger, and even people from Celestial City might want to seal their Engravings.

"Then..."

Liu Chuanji hadn't finished speaking when he received a contact from his superior, and immediately his heart sank.

Upon connecting the communication, as Liu Chuanji expected, a rebuke immediately came from the other side: [So many days have passed, why haven't you taken any action?]

Liu Chuanji wanted to explain, but the person said: [I don't want to hear any explanations, I just need to get that item! No matter what you have to pay, you must get that item before Yan Luo enters the Abyss again, or you might as well die!]

Hearing this, Liu Chuanji was filled with anger, but he didn't dare to refute because they all had leverage held by that person.

So Liu Chuanji could only agree in a low voice.

Once the call ended, Liu Chuanji's face instantly darkened, and he punched the wall beside him.

"Damn it, these fools who only know how to give orders! Do they think this can be done just by talking?"

For the rich people in Celestial City, it is something that can indeed be done just by talking, but it's the people like them executing the orders who have to go through all the hard work.

However, that person's attitude also indicated that the item Yan Luo held was really important.

Liu Chuanji's eyes flickered, pondering if he could take the opportunity to gain some benefits.

The Abyssal Believers' internal structure wasn't united, how could villains like them who specialize in doing bad things work together?

Liu Chuanji thought that perhaps he could take the item from Yan Luo and switch to other factions. Since that item is so important, other factions should be willing to accept their defection.

Taking a deep breath, Liu Chuanji issued orders to his team members: "Operation at 3 a.m. tomorrow morning, this is the instruction just issued by our superior, he wants us to get that item before Yan Luo enters the Abyss again!"

Despite many complaints in their hearts, all four of them began to prepare.

Tonight might be a tough battle!

......

Yan Luo felt quite uneasy, actually, these past few days he's been like this.

He could sense danger, but didn't know when the enemy might attack him, possibly tonight, or maybe after he enters the Abyss.

Yan Luo only knew that someone was watching him, and it was someone capable of threatening his life.

Since he couldn't predict it, he decided not to worry about it, as long as he is always ready.

That night, Yan Luo stayed in the gravity room again.

Yan Luo led a healthy lifestyle, he had no night life, went to sleep at almost exactly 11 p.m. every night, and woke up at 6 a.m. the next day, not waking up in the night, his friends all thought he had issues.

This night, before 11 o'clock, after grooming, Yan Luo lay down on the bedding inside the gravity room, closed his eyes, and entered a sleep state.

After an unknown period of time, Yan Luo was sleeping soundly and suddenly woke up startled.

The time... It wasn't yet six o'clock, it was 2:53 a.m.

Seeing the time, Yan Luo knew the Abyssal Believers might have come.

He wanted to send out a message, only to find he had lost the network connection.

They had really come!

Yan Luo got up, strapped his weapons on, and grabbed his guns and melee weapons.

Although wearing the exoskeleton would give Yan Luo a lot of defense, bringing the exoskeleton into the gravity room might arouse suspicion from the Abyssal Believers. Even these weapons were hidden inside Keke's body first, and only taken into the gravity room when meals were delivered.

As a battle auxiliary machinery, Keke's body space can hold weapons and ammo, effectively concealing them.

Although the signal was cut off, Yan Luo had preset instructions for Keke, once the villa was invaded, Keke would activate the counterattack program and fight the enemies.

Outside the villa, Liu Chuanji and the five other people had already gathered.

Inoue Takuya interfered with the street cameras to prevent them from identifying the real situation for a short time.

By the time the monitoring programs behind the cameras detected the issue and self-cleaned, they would have already completed their task and left.

Then, Inoue Takuya cut off the villa's power supply.

He used a similar method to deceive the Crimson No.2's power management system, making the system believe the villa's power status was normal.

However, when the management system does its next self-check, the villa power status will be found abnormal.

The self-checks of both monitoring and power management systems are staggered, with a time difference of just five minutes, which can prevent many unexpected situations.

For Liu Chuanji and the other four, five minutes was enough.

As the Mage of Sequence Three, Liu Chuanji shrouded Yan Luo's villa in a silent barrier, so whatever noise occurred here could be prevented from being heard outside.

An Zhen Ni wore a heavy exoskeleton, holding a heavily modified large shotgun capable of blasting a door to pieces in one shot.

However, she wouldn't waste ammunition in such a place, as a Vajra Engraver of Sequence Four, An Zhen Ni could use her own strength to break the main door of the villa.

Boom!

An Zhen Ni rammed her side into it and broke open the villa door.

She was the first to enter the villa, with the perceptual module running at full power, carefully observing all directions for any movements.

Following An Zhen Ni inside was Old Wang, a Shadow Dancer of Sequence Four, capable of killing in silence, even evading bullets when activating his Engraving—though only with a certain probability.

The third to enter the villa was Shangguan Taohua, although she had a gentle-sounding name, she was actually a Warrior, quite wild in combat.

Shangguan Taohua was followed by Liu Chuanji and Inoue Takuya, who wouldn't directly confront the enemy but would join the battle for support.

Inoue Takuya deployed his spider drones; these small drones had limited attack power and were used mainly as auxiliary observation tools.

However, they were equipped with some bombs and could self-destruct when necessary.

Liu Chuanji and the five people were thoroughly prepared, thinking Yan Luo couldn't escape from their well-prepared effort.

The silent barrier obliterated all sound within, even Liu Chuanji and his team couldn't speak directly, having to communicate through their personal terminal channels.

The plus side was that it also removed the noise from exoskeleton movement, making their actions entirely silent.

In the gravity room, Yan Luo also noticed that his movements lost their sound.

Realizing this, he looked up at the ceiling, ignoring the gravity instrument equipment tied to the ceiling, jumped up forcefully, and broke the ceiling with a punch.

While Liu Chuanji and the five moved on the first floor, Yan Luo had already reached the second floor, putting away his weapons and turning towards the window.

But upon seeing the scene outside, Yan Luo couldn't help but feel his heart sink.

A double barrier, one silent barrier, and another boundary circle preventing creatures within from leaving.

The silent barrier had no external manifestation, but Yan Luo already experienced it firsthand; the boundary circle did have an external manifestation, and the flowing runes on the window now were its manifestation.

Looks like there's no option but to fight!
