[Deep in the night, outside an abandoned warehouse in the old city]

The moonlight was like water, sprinkling on the mottled walls, adding a bit of weirdness to the abandoned warehouse. Xu Youran and Situ Han led the team members and approached the warehouse door carefully.

"Everyone, pay attention and stay alert." Situ Han warned in a low voice, his eyes flickering in the darkness, alert to the movements around him.

Xu Youran nodded, holding the gun tightly in her hand, her heartbeat quickened, she was both nervous and expectant. She knew that this action might bring them one step closer to the truth.

"Are you ready?" Situ Han asked.

"I'm ready." Xu Youran answered firmly.

Following Situ Han's order, the team members moved quickly and surrounded the warehouse door. Xu Youran and Situ Han slowly opened the door and carefully stepped into the warehouse.

The warehouse was completely dark, with only a faint moonlight shining through the broken windows. Xu Youran and Situ Han quickly turned on their flashlights to illuminate the road ahead. They moved forward cautiously, alert to possible dangers around them.

Suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps sounded at the other end of the warehouse. Xu Youran and Situ Han looked at each other and quickly chased in the direction of the sound. However, when they arrived there, they found that there was no one there.

"He ran away." Situ Han frowned.

"No, he's trying to lure us." Xu Youran's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, "We have to be careful, he might have set a trap."

At this moment, the lights in the warehouse suddenly came on, and the dazzling light made everyone close their eyes involuntarily. When they opened their eyes again, they found that the warehouse was full of traps and obstacles.

"Everyone be careful, these traps can be fatal." Situ Han warned loudly.

The team members quickly dispersed and carefully bypassed traps and obstacles. However, at this moment, a burst of gunfire suddenly rang out, and bullets rained down on them.

"Find cover quickly!" Situ Han shouted.

The team members quickly sought cover and started a fierce gun battle with the enemy. However, the enemy's firepower was extremely fierce, and they seemed to have been prepared for it.

"This is not a solution." Xu Youran frowned and said, "We must find the enemy's position and defeat them in one fell swoop."

"I'll lead them away." Situ Han said decisively, "You take the others to find the enemy's location."

As he spoke, Situ Han quickly rushed out of the bunker to attract the enemy's firepower. Xu Youran took the opportunity to lead the team members to find the enemy's position. After some effort, they finally found the enemy's hiding place - a secret room hidden in the corner of the warehouse.

"Prepare to attack!" Xu Youran ordered in a low voice.

The team members quickly prepared their weapons and rushed to the secret room together. However, when they rushed into the secret room, they found that there was no one inside. There was only a running computer and a note on a table.

Xu Youran quickly walked to the computer and checked the contents on it. She found that the computer was displaying a map of the capital city with multiple locations marked on it, and these locations were all related to the "Shadow Chamber of Commerce".

"This is... the murderer's plan!" Xu Youran exclaimed.

At this moment, the door of the secret room was suddenly closed, and the sound of "beeping" countdown was heard all around.

"Oh no, we've fallen into a trap!" Situ Han realized that something was wrong and quickly rushed to the door. However, the door was locked tightly and could not be opened.

"We have to leave here quickly!" Xu Youran said anxiously.

However, the countdown is getting closer and closer, and it seems that they have no way to escape...

【Easter Eggs】

Just as the countdown was about to end, a dazzling light suddenly illuminated the entire secret room. Xu Youran, Situ Han and the others only felt a flash before their eyes, and then they found themselves outside the warehouse.

"We... escaped?" Xu Youran looked around in disbelief.

"It seems that the murderer did not intend to actually kill us." Situ Han pondered, "He just wanted us to see his plan."

"But what exactly is his plan?" Xu Youran frowned.

"We have to keep tracking it down." Situ Han said firmly, "No matter how cunning the murderer is, we can't give up."

Just then, they noticed that the map on the computer suddenly flashed and a new location was marked.

"It seems that this is our next target." Xu Youran said while looking at the map.

Situ Han nodded, his eyes flashing with a cold light. "Let's go, let's uncover the last veil of the truth."

[The ending easter egg connects to Chapter 6]

In the darkness of night, Xu Youran and Situ Han led their team members to quickly leave the warehouse and head towards the new location marked on the map. However, they did not know that this action would lead them to a more dangerous and complicated situation.

On their way to the new location, a mysterious text message quietly appeared on Xu Youran's phone. The text message only had one sentence: "The real battle has just begun."

Xu Youran read the text message and had an ominous premonition in her heart. She knew that the battle with the murderer was far from over. The real danger and challenge might have just begun...

【Ending foreshadowing】

As they approached the new location, Xu Youran and Situ Han discovered that this place was much more complicated than they had imagined. Not only were there more secrets and conspiracies hidden here, but it also involved some larger and more mysterious forces in the capital. They gradually realized that this investigation had far exceeded their expectations, and it seemed that an invisible hand was manipulating everything behind the scenes.

When they stepped into the mysterious area shrouded in the night, the air was filled with a sense of oppression and uneasiness. The surrounding buildings were old and dilapidated, as if telling of the past glory and today's decline. The streets were almost empty, with only the occasional sound of the wind and the whispers from unknown sources in the distance, which made people shudder.

"Something seems to be wrong here." Xu Youran said in a low voice, her eyes quickly scanning the surroundings, trying to find any possible clues or threats.

"Indeed, it feels like I'm being stared at." Situ Han also frowned, his alertness always maintained at the highest level.

Just as they were about to explore further, a deep and cold voice suddenly sounded in their ears: "Welcome to the 'Dark Realm', your fate will end here."

Xu Youran and Situ Han turned around quickly, but saw only darkness. The voice seemed to come from all directions at the same time, making it impossible to determine its exact location.

"Who is it? Come out!" Situ Han shouted sternly, while tightening the gun in his hand.

However, the only answer they got was deathly silence. The figure disappeared without a trace, as if it had never existed.

"We have to be careful," Xu Youran warned, "This place is full of unknowns and dangers."

They continued to move forward, each step seemed extremely heavy. As they gradually went deeper into the "dark area", the surrounding scene became more and more strange and terrifying. Abandoned factories, deserted churches, and those seemingly abandoned but still operating laboratories all told of the former glory and current secrets of this place.

Just as they were about to approach the core area marked on the map, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in front of them—it was the murderer who had been dealing with them!

However, unlike in the past, this time the murderer did not choose to escape or attack, but faced them with an unusually calm and confident attitude.

"You are finally here." The murderer said with a smile, "I have been waiting for you."

"Who are you? Why are you doing this?" Xu Youran asked.

The murderer did not answer directly, but slowly took off his mask. When his true face was revealed to everyone, everyone was shocked - it turned out to be a person they had never expected!

"Now, are you ready to accept the baptism of the truth?" The murderer's voice echoed in the night sky, carrying an indescribable weirdness and horror.

At this moment, the prelude to Chapter 6 quietly begins, and a more thrilling and complicated contest is about to take place...

【Ending foreshadowing】

As the true identity of the murderer is revealed and the core area is gradually approached, Xu Youran and Situ Han realize that this investigation has touched the deepest and darkest secrets in the capital. Not only do they have to face the direct threat of the murderer, but they also have to uncover the game and conspiracy between the huge forces hidden behind them.

However, what makes them even more uneasy is that the murderer seems to be just a pawn in the whole plan, and there is a more terrifying and elusive existence behind him. What is this existence? What is its purpose and plan? And can Xu Youran and Situ Han survive this dangerous contest and uncover the final veil of all the truth?

Everything will be revealed in Chapter 6...
