Princess Lily Arrives

Guan Lili and her team, led by Black Hawk, advanced rapidly and headed straight for the core base of the Deep Shadow Alliance. Although they had mastered the activation code of the "Eye of the Abyss", the task of destroying the entire system was not easy. Every step forward seemed to be on the edge of a knife.

They arrived at the entrance of an underground passage in an abandoned city area, which was once an old subway station in the city. Black Hawk stood in front of a seemingly ordinary wall, raised his hand and pressed a few hidden switches, and the wall suddenly slid open silently, revealing a hidden passage.

"It seems that this is the road to the abyss." He Shaoyan joked, "I hope I don't really fall in."

"If you fall, I will pull you up first and then kick you back." Lily responded with a relaxed smile, even though her heart was already filled with tension.

Black Hawk glanced at them coldly and said, "This is not a place for joking. There are many traps ahead. You'd better be prepared. Many people didn't make it out alive."

"Thanks for the reminder, but we'd be too bored if we didn't have a challenge." The Shadow Agent patted the equipment bag on his back and said, "Let's go. Don't let the enemy get impatient."

After entering the passage, dim light shone on their faces, the walls were covered with old mosses, and the air was filled with a damp and musty smell. The entire passage seemed particularly depressing, as if foreshadowing the danger ahead.

"Where exactly is this place?" Xiao Zhao couldn't help but ask, while adjusting the electronic equipment in his hands, trying to detect the structure ahead.

"This is an abandoned base of the Deep Shadow Alliance. It was originally the place where they trained new members. Later, due to strategic adjustments, most of the facilities were moved, but there are still many undiscovered secrets left here." Black Hawk explained briefly, his eyes always vigilant.

At the end of the corridor, they encountered a huge metal door with complex and strange symbols on it. It was obviously not an ordinary mechanical lock.

"What is this? Why does it feel like some kind of ancient sacrificial symbol?" He Shaoyan stared at the symbols with a frown.

"This is not an ordinary lock, but a protective device that combines technology and ancient spells." Black Hawk explained, "The leaders of the Deep Shadow Alliance have always been superstitious about these ancient things. They believe that this can increase the power of defense."

"Sounds like an old weirdo who likes to play with mysticism," Lily laughed, but she quickly looked at the symbols, trying to find a way to decipher them.

Xiao Zhao quickly stepped forward and began to analyze the door lock. "Although it is a device combined with talismans, it still relies mostly on technology. Let me see if I can find a way out of it."

While Xiao Zhao was busy, a memory suddenly emerged in Lily's mind. It was a book she accidentally read when she was studying with her master, which mentioned similar symbols. She squatted down, carefully observed these ancient patterns, and suddenly pointed to one of them and said, "Here, try to bypass this symbol. I remember it should be a starter symbol. Bypassing it may allow the door to be unlocked directly."

Xiao Zhao was stunned when he heard this, and quickly followed Lily's instructions. As the last command was input, the metal door made a low humming sound and then slowly opened.

"It seems that you read a lot of strange books when you were a child." He Shaoyan teased.

"Of course." Lily smiled proudly, "I have been a top student since I was a child."

Behind the door was an even narrower passage, with laser defense systems on both sides. Each laser flashed a dangerous red light, and it was obvious that these systems were still running and could trigger an alarm if they were not careful.

"What should we do here?" asked the Shadow Commissioner. "We can't just rush through."

Black Hawk was silent for a moment, then took out a small device from his arms and handed it to Lily: "This is a jammer that can temporarily interfere with the signal of the laser system, but it can only last for five minutes. You need to pass quickly."

"Understood." Lily nodded. After taking the device, she took a deep breath and activated the jammer. The laser instantly failed and the entire passage fell silent.

"Go!" She gave the order, and the team quickly crossed the passage. Time was running out, and everyone's pace was unusually fast. Just as they were about to pass through, a mechanical voice suddenly came from the end of the passage: "Illegal intruder, system restart countdown - 10, 9, 8..."

"Oh no, the system needs to be restored!" Xiao Zhao exclaimed.

"Run!" Lily gave the order decisively, and everyone quickened their pace and rushed out of the passage at the last second. The laser started again behind them, and the red light was like a huge net, almost trapping them.

Everyone stopped panting, and He Shaoyan patted his chest: "Fortunately, I don't want to become a barbecue."

Lily glanced at him and said, "Then you should thank your fitness trainer for making you run faster than usual."

Just when everyone was briefly relaxed, Black Hawk suddenly stopped and his eyes became extremely serious. He slowly raised his hand and pointed forward: "We are here."

Everyone followed his gaze and saw a huge underground hall in front of them. A strange sphere was suspended in the center, surrounded by countless cables and pipes, like a huge and complex mechanical heart. In the corner of the hall, several guards wearing Deep Shadow Alliance uniforms were patrolling vigilantly.

"That is the core of the 'Eye of the Abyss'." Black Hawk whispered.

"How do we destroy it?" asked the Shadow Agent.

"The core of the system is heavily protected. We need to cut off the power supply at the same time and implant a virus inside to completely destroy it." Black Hawk replied, "But this process is very complicated and requires division of labor and cooperation."

Lily thought for a moment and quickly assigned tasks: "Xiao Zhao, you are responsible for implanting the virus; Black Hawk, you and Special Agent Shadow will cut off the power supply. He Shaoyan and I will be responsible for restraining the guards."

Everyone nodded in agreement and quickly returned to their respective positions. Lily and He Shaoyan quietly went behind the guards and quickly killed two guards with the tranquilizer guns in their hands, but a bigger challenge was approaching them.

Suddenly, an alarm sounded from the other side of the hall. Apparently, their actions had alerted the base's main control system. A large number of enemies quickly poured in, and the situation became extremely tense.

"The enemy is coming!" He Shaoyan shouted.

"Continue the mission, don't stop!" Lily ordered loudly while dealing with the enemy.

Xiao Zhao's fingers quickly tapped the keyboard, cold sweat seeping from his forehead: "The virus is almost implanted successfully, give me another minute!"

Meanwhile, Black Hawk and Shadow had managed to cut several cables, but the remaining sections were wrapped in a more complex protective layer. As time passed, the enemy's attack became more and more fierce.

Lily moved swiftly through the dense fire, and each counterattack was accurate and deadly. He Shaoyan covered her from the side, and occasionally made a few jokes: "Lily, your movements are so fast, did you secretly practice some special skills?"

"Yes, the skill name - 'Life and Death Chase'." Lily sneered and quickly knocked down an enemy.

"Virus implantation is complete!" Xiao Zhao's voice came through the headset.

"The power is also cut off!" Good news also came from Black Hawk.

"Retreat!" Lily gave a decisive order, and everyone quickly evacuated to the exit. Just as they left the hall, a huge explosion was heard, and the core of the "Eye of the Abyss" collapsed instantly, and the entire system was completely paralyzed.
