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

An unexpected thing happened—the small box that had been quietly placed there suddenly made a series of rapid noises! Everyone immediately became nervous, especially Shen Shiyan, who stared sharply at this seemingly ordinary yet threatening object in front of him.

"What's going on?!" The middle-aged man's face changed drastically, as if he was more afraid of this result than anyone else.

"It seems that this matter will not end so easily." Shen Shiyan calmly analyzed the changing situation and immediately gave instructions, "Zhou Tao, Lin Wanxing, you two quickly evacuate to a safe area. The rest of the personnel are ready to act at any time."

At this critical moment, one of the team members noticed several figures quietly approaching from a distance. Whether they were friend or foe remained unclear. Inside the factory, the atmosphere of lurking danger grew thicker.

"Wait, it seems like someone is coming here..." Lin Yuan whispered to his companions to pay attention to the movements around them, trying to identify the identities of the newcomers.

"No matter what, we must solve the problem as soon as possible." Shen Shiyan said in a firm tone, while vigilantly observing every subtle movement around him.

At this moment, the figures that were getting closer and closer finally revealed their true appearances...

The figures in the distance gradually became clearer. They were a team of fully equipped special forces soldiers, led by a resolute female officer. Her gaze was fixed directly on Shen Shiyan.

"Who are you?" Lin Yuan asked vigilantly, his fingers lightly resting on the gun, ready to deal with any emergency at any time.

The female officer stepped forward, her tone revealing unquestionable determination: "I am Li Wei, the leader of the military's special operations team. We have received a mission and are here to provide support."

Shen Shiyan raised his brows slightly, but remained vigilant. He knew that the military's intervention didn't mean the problem was solved. "So they're friendly forces," he said slowly. "But the situation is complicated right now. I hope you can obey the on-site instructions."

"No problem," Li Wei nodded and agreed, "Our goal is to end this crisis as quickly as possible."

With the addition of this new blood, the tense atmosphere eased slightly. However, the sound of the small box still persisted, making people afraid to relax easily.

As everyone was debating how to handle the current predicament, a crowd of onlookers suddenly gathered outside the factory gates. The news had somehow leaked to the media, and many curious citizens had gathered nearby to watch.

An older man in work clothes pushed his way through the crowd and came to the front. "Isn't that Captain Shen from TV? Wow, he's incredible! He can even lead a team into such a dangerous place!"

A young man nearby, filming a video with his phone, chimed in, "He's really quite impressive! I heard he's solved several major cases."

Overhearing these discussions, a police officer stationed outside, responsible for maintaining order, smiled wryly and shook his head. This situation was nothing new to him. "Everyone, please step back and keep your distance!" he shouted, raising his voice as high as he could. "This is a crime scene. Please cooperate with the police investigation and do not approach without permission!"

However, driven by curiosity, more passersby rushed to watch after learning of the big event. Some even excitedly pointed at the special forces members who had just appeared nearby and exclaimed, "Look, look, the military is involved! It seems like this is a big deal..."

Against this backdrop, the standoff inside the factory continued. Shen Shiyan and his team closely observed every detail, trying to find a way out. Meanwhile, the middle-aged man, looking pale, was clearly overwhelmed by the situation.

"Don't worry." Lin Wanxing gently comforted the nervous Zhou Tao beside him, "Our captain will definitely find a way to solve this problem."

Zhou Tao nodded in agreement, his gaze fixed on the seemingly harmless yet fraught box across from him. Suddenly, Shen Shiyan raised his arm and gestured for everyone to stop moving. Then, he cautiously crouched down and carefully examined the scattered debris on the ground.

At this moment, the female officer named Li Wei suddenly spoke up, "I think we should try to cut off all power inputs to avoid triggering any possible traps."

This statement immediately caught the attention of those around him. Shen Shiyan looked up at the other person, pondered for a moment, and then slowly replied, "That's a good suggestion... but we need to ensure that this won't cause a more serious chain reaction. Are you sure you can do this?"

Faced with this question, Li Wei nodded without hesitation, with a glint of confidence in her eyes: "Trust me. After all, I have experienced similar situations before."

Meanwhile, new faces appeared among the onlookers. They included several civilian intelligence officers and several prominent figures in society, dressed in various styles but clearly carrying special missions. They were either whispering about the potential developments of the situation or quietly observing from the shadows, awaiting the opportunity to offer assistance.

"Hey, who do you think is the most powerful among these people?" A young man in a casual suit asked his friend, pointing in the direction of a factory in the distance.

"Need I ask? Of course it's that guy named Shen Shiyan." Another friend with glasses and a slightly bookish look replied, "He's no ordinary person. It's said that he's even single-handedly taken out terrorists several times."

Just as everyone's attention was focused on the main character, a figure quietly moved in an inconspicuous corner. It was a woman dressed in ordinary clothes and with an unremarkable appearance, but the glint in her eyes showed that she was definitely not ordinary.

Just as she was about to make a move, a sharp gaze suddenly shot towards her, meeting her gaze—it was Shen Shiyan. Although they were far apart, his keen observation had already detected something unusual.

There was an inexplicable tension in the air, as if foreshadowing that what was to happen next would be extremely complicated and full of variables...

"Hmm? Why do I feel like something is going to happen?" Standing in a safe area not far away, Zhou Tao looked at the surrounding environment in confusion and muttered to himself.

Lin Wanxing, who was standing next to him, clenched his fists and prepared himself. "We have to be careful no matter what. The captain will definitely find a way to stabilize the situation..."

During their conversation, the woman vanished into the crowd, leaving only a faint lingering sense of unease in the air, a reminder for everyone not to let their guard down...
