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

The night was as dark as ink, with only sparse lights on the streets. Xu Muze and his team quickly left the command center and rushed to the newly discovered suspect's hideout. Lu Yining followed closely behind, his eyes firm and focused.

"Everyone, pay attention," Xu Muze whispered, "We must be careful in this operation. We are facing a very dangerous enemy."

Xiao Zhang nodded, holding the communication device tightly in his hand: "Understood, we will keep in touch at any time."

The team passed through several dim alleys and arrived at an abandoned warehouse. This was the location where the new clues the police had just discovered pointed to. The door of the warehouse was half open, and a faint light could be seen from inside.

"This is the target location." Xu Muze said softly, "Are you ready?"

Everyone nodded, indicating they were ready. Lu Yining took a deep breath and was the first to push open the door and walk in. The warehouse was empty and dilapidated, with several rows of shelves filled with messy goods. A pungent smell filled the air.

Suddenly, a figure flashed out from the shadows, holding a weapon in his hand, and sneered, "You are really tenacious. You actually found this place."

"Surrender, your game is over." Xu Muzhe said in a deep voice, raising the gun in his hand and pointing it at the enemy.

"Oh, you're dreaming!" The man laughed wildly and suddenly rushed over, firing a barrage of bullets at everyone. Xiaohua immediately hid behind a nearby shelf, quickly took out his laptop and began to crack the warehouse's surveillance system.

"We need to find out the true identity of 'Shadow' as soon as possible. Time is running out." Xiaohua worked quickly in front of the computer, sweat dripping from his forehead.

At this moment, more enemies poured in from all directions, making the situation even more critical. Li Wei and several team members immediately split into two groups, each responding to attacks from different directions. Gunfire rang out in the warehouse, and flames flickered.

"We must hold on, reinforcements will be here soon!" Xu Muzhe shouted loudly. While dodging the bullets, he aimed at the enemy and shot accurately.

At the same time, in a small bar outside the warehouse, several passers-by were chatting. They were startled by the sudden gunshot and put down their glasses.

"What's that sound?" a young man asked in confusion, his eyes wide open.

"It sounds like gunshots," another middle-aged man frowned. "This place is usually very peaceful. How could something like this happen?"

A waiter ran in, his face filled with fear, and said, "I heard the police are chasing some criminals. They're in an old warehouse over there!"

Several people looked at each other, their hearts filled with curiosity and fear. The young man couldn't help but stand up and glance toward the window. "Those policemen are so brave. They dared to confront so many criminals head-on."

"Yeah, if it were me, I'd have been scared to death." Another guest sighed, "But it's bound to be exciting. I really hope there's a chance to see how the heroes defeat the villains with my own eyes."

The battle inside the warehouse intensified. Lu Yining suddenly discovered a hidden entrance. She motioned Xu Muze and the others to follow and quickly went in. It was a narrow tunnel, dimly lit, but there seemed to be a glimmer of light at the end.

"Let's go, there is an exit here." Lu Yining led everyone forward and soon saw a metal door in front of them.

"Be careful of traps," Li Wei warned, "the other party may have set an ambush here."

As soon as he finished speaking, several rows of machine guns suddenly popped up from the walls on both sides of the tunnel, and dense bullets were fired at everyone. Xu Muze decisively pressed the communicator on his body and shouted for help: "Urgent support! We have been ambushed in the underground passage!"

Upon hearing the news, the police outside quickly mobilized their forces and rushed towards the warehouse. Xiao Yang and Xiao Li also joined the reinforcements, both armed with guns, moving quickly through the streets.

"Hurry up, Captain and the others need help!" Xiao Yang said while panting, without stopping at all.

"No problem, we will get there in time!" Xiao Li gritted his teeth and followed closely.

Finally, amidst a hail of bullets, Xu Muze and his companions successfully broke through the defenses of the underground passage and rushed into a small room opposite. On the wall hung a huge electronic map with a prominent red dot in the center.

"Found it! This is the real location of 'Shadow'!" Xiaohua shouted excitedly, pointing his finger at an address on the screen. "We are only one step away from the truth!"

At that moment, the door to the room suddenly flew open, and a group of men in black rushed in, led by a tall, masked man. His voice was deep and threatening: "I didn't expect you to find this place. It seems I have to take action."

Xu Muze was not afraid at all and stepped forward: "You have no way to escape. It is wise to give up resistance."

The other party grinned and said, "Naive, just watch me!" He waved his hands violently, and the surrounding lights suddenly went out, and the whole room fell into darkness.

"Don't panic, concentrate your firepower on the attack!" Lu Yining ordered calmly, and the pistol in his hand had already started shooting.

The sounds of gunfire and fighting intertwined, and the battle reached a fever pitch again. Outside, the sirens were getting closer and closer, and reinforcements had arrived at the scene.

"Hurry up and guard the door, don't let any enemy escape!" Xu Muzhe ordered loudly, his eyes full of determination.

Xiaohua nervously adjusted the equipment, trying to restore the lighting system: "I'll be right there, give me a little more time!"

At this moment, there was a sound of electricity, and the lights in the room finally came on again. Several fallen enemies lay on the ground, and the masked man had been forced into a corner.

"Now, you have a choice," Xu Muze said coldly, "surrender, or accept the fate of death."

A trace of fear flashed in the opponent's eyes. Finally, he dropped his weapon and slowly raised his hands: "You win... but this will not be the final victory."

"Justice will eventually triumph over evil. No matter where you are, we will find you." Lu Yining said firmly, with a burning fighting spirit in his eyes.

The sound of police footsteps was heard outside the door, and a large number of agents and police officers rushed into the warehouse and captured all the enemies one by one.

"What should we do next?" Xiao Yang walked forward and asked.

"Keep investigating until you find the real mastermind behind this." Xu Muzhe replied, his tone revealing unquestionable determination.

Everyone looked at each other and nodded in tacit understanding. A new contest was about to begin...

As the night fades and a new day dawns, everyone's hearts are filled with hope and anticipation as they prepare to face the next challenge.
