Xu Youran and Situ Han stood in front of the mailbox that was emitting a faint light. After a moment's silence, their eyes became unusually firm.

"We have to be more careful this time." Xu Youran said in a low voice. There was a hint of imperceptible worry in her voice, but more of it was determination.

"That's right, we can't let our previous efforts go to waste." Situ Han nodded, he reached out and gently patted Xu Youran's shoulder, giving her silent encouragement.

The two opened the mailbox, and in addition to the note, there was also a map and a seemingly disorganized code.

"It seems that our new mission is hidden in this map and code." Situ Han picked up the map and looked at it carefully, frowning.

"Let me try to crack this code." Xu Youran took the code, her eyes sparkling with wisdom. As an excellent detective, she has a natural sensitivity and passion for cracking codes.

Time passed by, and the two were immersed in their own thoughts. Xu Youran's fingers jumped on the code, as if playing a silent movement; Situ Han outlined the possible routes on the map, his eyes sometimes solemn, sometimes flashing with excitement.

Finally, after a slight sound, Xu Youran smiled triumphantly: "I solved it!"

She told Situ Han the result of the code, and they looked at each other, their eyes full of expectation and nervousness. Following the guidance of the code, they found a mark on the map - it was an abandoned factory on the edge of the city.

"It seems that our next target is there." Situ Han said, and began to plan the action plan to go to the factory.

When they arrived at the abandoned factory, they found that it was no longer the desolate place they remembered. The factory was full of unidentified people, and it was obvious that someone was secretly monitoring everything here.

"It seems that our whereabouts have been discovered." Situ Han said in a low voice, with a hint of coldness in his voice.

"Then let's see who is behind this time." Xu Youran clenched the gun in her hand, her eyes flashing with determination.

The two carefully sneaked into the factory, avoiding numerous traps and monitors along the way. Finally, they came to a control room full of high-tech equipment.

In the control room, a figure stood in front of a large screen with his back to them, seemingly monitoring something. When the man turned around, Xu Youran and Situ Han were stunned - it was the murderer who had "died" before, or in other words, his twin brother.

"As expected, you are here." The murderer sneered and said, "It seems that the clues I left behind are very attractive to you."

"Who are you? Why are you doing this?" Xu Youran asked, her voice filled with anger and confusion.

"I am the true heir of the Shadow Chamber of Commerce and one of the masterminds behind this city." The murderer said proudly, "And everything I do is to achieve a bigger plan."

"What plan?" Situ Han asked coldly, his eyes as sharp as an eagle.

The murderer smiled slightly and did not answer directly, but pressed a button. Suddenly, the large screen in the control room lit up, showing a complex network diagram.

"This is my plan - to use high-tech means to control the energy and information systems of the entire world." The murderer said, "And this network diagram you see is the core part of my plan."

"You're crazy!" Xu Youran shouted angrily, "You're willing to sacrifice the lives of the entire world for your own personal ambitions!"

“Sacrifice?” The murderer sneered, “In this world, there is no real sacrifice. Only the weak will be eliminated, and the strong will always stand at the top.”

As he spoke, the murderer suddenly launched an attack. He used various devices and traps in the control room to create great trouble for Xu Youran and Situ Han. However, with their extraordinary wisdom and courage, the two finally found an opportunity to fight back.

After a fierce battle, they finally pushed the murderer into a desperate situation. However, at this moment, the screen in the control room suddenly flickered, showing an astonishing news - the murderer has initiated the last step of the plan, and the energy and information systems of the entire city are about to collapse.

"You...you actually did this!" Xu Youran looked at the murderer in disbelief.

"Yes, this is my determination." The murderer sneered and said, "But you don't have to worry too much. Because in this world, a new order will always be born."

As he spoke, the murderer pressed the last button and disappeared into the darkness of the control room. Xu Youran and Situ Han quickly rushed to the console, trying to stop the execution of the plan. However, it was too late.

The lights in the city began to go out, communications were interrupted, and traffic was paralyzed... The entire city fell into chaos again. Xu Youran and Situ Han stood in the control room, looking at everything in front of them, their hearts filled with heaviness and powerlessness.

"What should we do?" asked one member of the team, fear and confusion in his voice.

"We can't give up." Xu Youran said firmly, "As long as we still have breath, we must continue to fight."

In the midst of despair and confusion, Xu Youran suddenly noticed a seemingly ordinary metal plate on the console. She took it off out of curiosity and found a tiny USB drive hidden underneath.

"What is this?" She looked at Situ Han puzzledly.

Situ Han took the USB drive, examined it carefully and said, "This could be a backup file, or the key to preventing this disaster."

"We have to try." A glimmer of hope flashed in Xu Youran's eyes, and she quickly inserted the USB drive into an undamaged computer.

The screen flashed a few times, and then an encrypted folder appeared. Xu Youran and Situ Han looked at each other and immediately started to decrypt the information. Time was running out, and every second was crucial.

After a series of complicated operations, they finally cracked the password of the folder. Hidden inside was not only a detailed plan execution log, but also a set of emergency stop procedure codes.

"Hurry! We must upload this code to the main system as soon as possible!" Situ Han said anxiously.

Xu Youran quickly entered the code into the computer and started the upload process. As the progress bar slowly moved forward, their heartbeats also accelerated.

At the last moment, the city's energy system began to stabilize again, communications gradually recovered, and traffic lights came back on. The entire city seemed to wake up from its slumber and regain its vitality.

"We succeeded!" Xu Youran shouted excitedly, tears welling up in her eyes.

Situ Han also showed a long-lost smile. He held Xu Youran's hand tightly. The two smiled at each other. All the fatigue and hardships disappeared at this moment.

However, just when they thought everything was over, the screen in the control room lit up again, showing a new message: "This is just the beginning, the real contest has just begun."

This sentence was like a bolt from the blue, and the two people's mood instantly fell to the bottom. They knew that although the disaster was temporarily prevented, the enemy behind it was still powerful and mysterious.

"We won't give up," Xu Youran said firmly. "No matter who the enemy is, no matter how powerful they are, we will keep fighting."

Situ Han nodded in agreement, his eyes full of determination and courage. The two stood together again, facing the unknown future, ready to meet new challenges.

As the city gradually recovered, Xu Youran and Situ Han returned to their base. They began to sort out all the information about this operation, trying to find more clues about the "Shadow Chamber of Commerce" and the manipulator behind it.

While looking through the materials, they found a forgotten photo of a mysterious figure in a black cloak standing in front of an ancient castle. On the back of the photo was a line of small words: "True power comes from ancient secrets."

"This castle..." Xu Youran muttered to himself, "We seem to have never heard of this place."

Situ Han took the photo and carefully studied the outline of the castle and the surrounding environment, frowning. He had an inexplicable premonition that this castle was inextricably linked to their enemy.

"We have to go to this place and take a look." Situ Han said, "Perhaps the key to stopping the 'Shadow Chamber of Commerce' is hidden there."

Xu Youran nodded in agreement, and the two decided to set off immediately to the mysterious castle. They knew that this would be a more difficult and dangerous journey, but they were ready, and they were willing to give everything to protect the peace and tranquility of the city.

As they leave, a new adventure is about to begin. What secrets and dangers are hidden deep in this ancient castle? Everything will be revealed in Chapter 8...
