I am the Holy Poisoner, the Empress advised me to calm down

Meanwhile, Lin Wanxing's team was also busy conducting final checks. "Everyone, we face not only unknown risks but also a variety of potential uncertainties," she warned everyone in a firm and unwavering voice. "But I believe that as long as we unite, there's nothing we can't solve!"

Enthusiastic applause erupted from the surroundings. "That's right! No matter what awaits us ahead, we will conquer it one by one!" The team members expressed their support and encouraged each other.

Just as everyone's morale was high, the conference room door opened again. In came Assistant Director Li Siyuan, holding an urgent document. "Latest news—the enemy may have discovered some of our traps and is planning countermeasures." This statement immediately caused an uproar.

Seeing this, Lin Wanxing quickly stabilized the situation. "It's okay. This means they've started to get scared and are trying to fight back. But this just gives us more room to maneuver. Come, let's analyze this intelligence together and see if we can find a breakthrough..."

In another unknown place, the top members of the Shadow Organization sat together to discuss countermeasures. "I didn't expect them to make a move so quickly. It seems we really need to reevaluate our strategy," one of them said coldly.

Another person nearby continued, "In that case, why not simply lure the enemy deeper into your territory? On the surface, you'll appear weak and lure them deeper into your trap, but in reality, you'll have laid out layers of defense and wait for them to take the bait. This way, your chances of success will be greatly increased."

The leader pondered for a moment, then slowly nodded in approval: "We can try this method, but the specific implementation still needs careful consideration..."

The city grows increasingly quiet under the cover of night, yet beneath this tranquility lies a looming storm...

(To be continued)

"What do you think?" the assistant whispered to Lin Wanxing beside him.

Lin Wanxing frowned and thought for a moment. "Although it sounds dangerous, this may really be the only viable option." She turned to look at everyone, "Plan for the worst, comrades. No matter what, we must go all out and make this night a success."

Everyone nodded seriously, ready to face all the upcoming tests...

As night deepened, the city lights loomed in the distance, while the old industrial district in the east lay dead silent. Shen Shiyan and Zhou Tao, along with their team, followed closely behind the middle-aged man who claimed to be a former worker, carefully making their way through the abandoned factories and deserted streets. An oppressive tension hung in the air, and everyone's steps were cautious.

"This is it," Passerby B said, pointing to a dilapidated building ahead. "This building used to be one of the core buildings in the factory area, but now it seems to have become a base for many illegal activities."

"Very good, thank you for your guidance." Shen Shiyan nodded to the middle-aged man and signaled him to stay on the periphery while he led the team to approach the target quietly.

Suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps broke the silence. Zhou Tao reacted quickly, lowering his voice and commanding, "Everyone, remain silent and take cover!"

Several people immediately dispersed and hid in the shadows, holding their breath and waiting. Before long, a figure appeared in sight. The person looked around furtively, then entered the building as if they were familiar with the place. "It seems they have set up a sentry here," Shen Shiyan whispered.

At this moment, in another alley nearby, two passers-by were whispering:

"Those few people just now looked like police officers?"

"Don't be ridiculous. Look at the clothes they're wearing and the equipment they're wearing. They're definitely not ordinary law enforcement officers. They might be special forces or some secret organization."

"Ah, the situation is getting more and more complicated. But with these guys here, maybe they can help us solve the problem sooner."

Meanwhile, inside the building, Shen Shiyan and his teammates had already found the entrance to the underground communications center. After carefully checking to make sure it was safe, they slowly entered the dark space.

"This is a perfect hiding place!" exclaimed the team member walking in front to explore the way. "No wonder our previous operations failed to successfully destroy their command system."

"That's right, we must ensure that nothing goes wrong this time." Shen Shiyan said firmly, "Be careful with every step you take and don't make any mistakes."

At this moment, the display screen in the communication center suddenly lit up, showing the latest developments from the outside world - it turned out that the "Shadow" organization had begun to arrange the so-called plan to lure the enemy deep into the area, and the entire area was about to become a huge and carefully laid trap.

Looking at the information on the screen, Lin Wanxing at the command center also realized the seriousness of the situation. "It seems they don't intend to give up easily," she said solemnly. "We must find a breakthrough as soon as possible and strive to defeat the enemy before they complete their deployment."

"The new intelligence provided by the Assistant Director is crucial," an analyst added. "As long as we can accurately determine the enemy's true intentions, we might still have a chance."

Just then, the conference room door was gently pushed open, and in walked the man who had offered his help earlier. "Sorry to bother you all, I heard some strange noises outside," the middle-aged man said anxiously. "It felt like someone was approaching this way..."

"You did a great job," Lin Wanxing stood up quickly. "Notify everyone immediately to raise their alert status and prepare for evacuation."

As the order was issued, the entire team began to move in an orderly manner. At the same moment, the top members of "Shadow" finally launched their final offensive...

"It seems everything is going according to plan." The leader laughed coldly. "Next, we just have to wait and see the results."

But no one could have predicted that the real storm had just begun to brew...

The industrial zone was utterly silent at night. Only a few distant streetlights cast a faint glow, adding a touch of eeriness to the desolate place. At that moment, in front of the dilapidated building, the atmosphere was extremely tense. As Shen Shiyan and his team prepared to penetrate the building to carry out their mission, the world outside began to behave strangely.

Just as they carefully opened an iron door leading to the basement, the voices of two young men broke the silence. "Are you sure those people were police?" a young man who looked a little nervous asked, a hint of uneasiness in his voice.
