Tomb raiding: following the plot while tearing up the script

The eerily quiet atmosphere lasted for about half an hour before Xie Yuchen's walkie-talkie emitted a static sound indicating a connection.

"Someone came out of Exit One; it was a little girl."

"There's someone at Exit 3..."

"Exit 4..."

"No. 2..."

People kept coming out of the four pre-reserved exits, and most of them were children who had just been abducted and brought here.

Most of them looked to be only six or seven years old, and some were even younger, only three or four years old, and they were carried out by several older children.

There were also some who, upon inquiry, turned out to be members of what the organization called a youth camp.

Most of them looked to be in their early teens, clearly having been abducted and brought here for some years. Having undergone brainwashing and various 'illegal' training, they were noticeably different from ordinary children.

Judging from their eyes alone, they, who haven't yet learned to disguise themselves, look even more dangerous than the official members of the Wang family who have already been sent out on missions.

However, according to the expert from the Soviet Union, the fact that they were able to get out of there means that they have not been completely brainwashed and controlled by this organization.

They may even have stronger willpower than the average person, allowing them to remain conscious and protect themselves during such intense brainwashing.

In any case, the follow-up arrangements for these children are a headache for the other colleagues; their only responsibility is to safely receive them and take them out.

Faced with a group of children who were either terrified or indifferent, the tough guys guarding the exit gripped their guns so tightly they creaked.

In this situation, any normal person with even a little bit of a sense of justice would probably want to rush in and shoot those insane lunatics for ten minutes first.

Fortunately, they listened to the experts' instructions and provided hot water and meals. Warm blankets were also placed in the tents, and medical staff were on standby at any time.

They originally thought they were there to purge the corrupt elements in the country, but they ended up taking down a human trafficking den that had been abducting children for years.

You're telling me, this is an organization cobbled together by so many people, and they call themselves a family. If they want children, why don't they just have their own? They're just messing with other people's kids, aren't they...?

Their erratic behavior suddenly made them feel at ease about the firepower they had placed on the opposite hilltop.

In places like this, the firepower coverage is absolutely thorough.

Listening to the reports from each exit coming through Xie Yuchen's walkie-talkie, Wu Xie nudged Su Li beside him.

"Huh? Ali, what kind of formation did you set up for these barking dogs? What's the criterion? Is it based on age?"

The jade compass in Su Li's hand was still emitting a faint glow.

"The Inquiry Formation."

Minister Qin of the Security Department's absolute favorite formation, without a doubt. In terms of talent selection and loyalty to the country and its people, the Heart-Questioning Formation is truly a national treasure!

It is suggested that this formation be included in the performance evaluation standards for public officials, with evaluations every three years. Those who pass will be promoted and receive a raise, while those who fail will be investigated!

The content of the Heart-Questioning Array can be adjusted according to the needs of the array master, and the array that Su Li set up in Gutongjing and the Wang family's main camp this time is...

Loyalty to the Wang family.

Screening other organizations might be a bit difficult, but screening the Wang family is incredibly easy.

As the top dog in the pyramid scheme industry, the Wang family used data provided by their so-called computing department to have their clansmen completely under their control.

If you have even the slightest ulterior motive, you could be talked to at best, or even be humanely killed at worst.

Because of this extremely strict and even perverse requirement for loyalty, those who can emerge from the Heart-Questioning Array are almost all teenagers from the youth camps who have not yet been successfully brainwashed, or children who have just been abducted.

As for those who are trapped in the formation and unable to get out, they are the die-hard loyalists of the Wang family. Such uncertainties are naturally their main targets.

Compared to those who passed the test in the Wang family's stronghold and left hell to be embraced by the official fathers, while those who failed were trapped inside, waiting for the final humane destruction...

The Nine Gates members undergoing trials in the ancient city of Gutongjing are in a much more tragic situation.

First, they marched like madmen through the desert under the scorching sun and sandstorms, afraid of falling behind the others and missing out on the benefits.

We finally arrived at the meeting point, but before we could even find the entrance, some jerk brought up the issue of subsequent assignments.

Goodness, they almost came to blows before even starting. That's something else.

If it weren't for Zhang Rishan being able to suppress the matter due to his seniority, this wouldn't have been a joint operation by the Nine Gates; it would have been a bloody battle in a deserted place.

That was a real firefight; when the argument got heated, they actually pulled out guns!

When that guy from the Chen family, who seemed to have a screw loose, lifted his shirt, he nearly scared everyone present to death.

What kind of event are you planning, strapping yourself to a human bomb? You just want to get rid of everyone, right...?

Finally, after much difficulty, we found the entrance...

Whoever starts it will have to argue...

Who should bring up the rear will cause another argument...

When faced with a fork in the road, it goes without saying which way to go; nobody gives in, and everyone has their own way of doing things...

Zhang Rishan, who rarely goes out, was completely baffled. This so-called joint operation of the nine departments was even more exciting than the comedy sketches on the Spring Festival Gala stage.

If he had known the Nine Gates would be like this now, he would have discussed it with the clan leader and brought them over on New Year's Eve. That would have saved them the trouble of watching the Spring Festival Gala...

It's fortunate that he didn't actually suggest it to Zhang Qiling; otherwise, even if Su Li had hung him from the rafters for the entire Lunar New Year, no one would have said a word in his defense.

Zhang Rishan complained: "I'm not popular, is that my fault?"

After several branching off at intersections, the number of dispersed teams increased.

In this labyrinthine underground world, reality and illusion begin to overlap. The pre-arranged Inquiry Array, with the Nine-Headed Hydra Cypress at its core, also begins to affect the people in this space.

The once peaceful journey began to be fraught with danger and temptation.

Some people spotted the tomb chamber filled with countless jewels from afar and excitedly began to run for their lives, seemingly unaware that no matter how hard they tried, they could not get close to it.

Some people tried to escape when faced with the slowly wriggling green hands, but were still caught and dragged away to who knows where.

As the formation constantly changed, the Nine-Headed Cypress became the controller of this area.

One by one, those who entered the maze either endured countless hardships and mental torment, only to be suddenly thrown out from some unknown entrance.

Or, driven by greed, they fall at the very spot closest to wealth, all for the sake of wealth that is within reach.

As for the barking dogs lurking in each household and the puppets controlled by the Black Flying Son?
