Whirlpool scratched her head awkwardly, feeling a little embarrassed, but still retorted softly, "I...you know I'm afraid of heights, and besides, I managed to recover, didn't I..."

"How dare you say that!" Rose was even angrier after hearing Whirlpool's explanation. Even Libra and Moon Demon, who were watching the show from the sidelines, wanted to come up and teach Whirlpool a lesson.

You know, the Masked Squad is respected everywhere they go, so getting money is a piece of cake for them. This vortex actually uses this method of asking for tips to explain things away. If other people knew that the Masked Squad was in such a sorry state, wouldn't they laugh at them to death?

Seeing that things were not going well, Wang quickly changed the subject, "Ahem, let me analyze what to do next. The owner of the 'Five Elemental Locks' and the Seraph's agent have not yet appeared. I guess they are probably at the warehouse to get weapons."

"So, Moon Demon, you infiltrate first to observe them, then find an opportunity to ambush them. The four of us will surround them from the outside to prevent any from escaping."

"Okay." Moon Ghost nodded in agreement, then disappeared from the spot.

"Ouch!" A second later, Whirlpool clutched his butt and screamed in pain, with a heavy size 43 shoe print still visible behind him.

......

Meanwhile, inside the underground base.

The instructors sat around a large square table, holding the recruits' information. In the center of the table were the training ground, warehouse, dormitory building, and surveillance cameras covering all areas.

An instructor looked at the recruits lying on the ground, silently made a phone call to the medical staff, and shook his head slightly. "It seems these recruits are still too green. So many of them were wiped out by the five members of the [Masked] squad. They didn't even cause the slightest trouble."

Another instructor sighed, "In the end, it's just that the Masked Squad is too strong. For a top-tier squad that constantly faces life-or-death situations and mysterious battles to fight against them is like using a dragon-slaying sword to kill a chicken!"

"That's right, that's right. Although the members of the [Masked] team have all been suppressed to the Zhan Realm, they are still far from being able to contend with them."

Upon hearing this, all the instructors nodded silently, feeling that the new recruits had no hope.

"You can't say that. You have to know that there are three extremely high-risk forbidden realms among the new recruits, one of whom is a being below the gods and above all living beings. There's also a god's agent and a mysterious being who has killed someone from the Chuan Realm. They haven't even appeared yet, so we can't draw conclusions so early. Be careful they don't prove us wrong!"

Yuan Gang looked confident. He believed in his judgment. In his opinion, Ling Yue must have extraordinary talent, which made it worthwhile for him to negotiate terms. Otherwise, if he had already negotiated the terms and given the benefits, but Ling Yue was not strong enough and could be easily dismissed by [Masked], who would he complain to?

"Yes, yes, I think the head instructor is right."

"I think the instructor in front of me is right."

"Me too!"

Weapons depot – Ling Yue, Lin Qiye, and Baili Pangpang stood in front of a huge iron gate.

"What the hell? What does it mean that the instructor is telling us to get our weapons but not opening the door for us?" Baili Pangpang asked, bewildered and panting heavily.

Lin Qiye frowned, but then he breathed a sigh of relief when he thought of Ling Yue's abilities and how Ling Yue had used a large iron gate as a weapon back in No. 2 Middle School.

"Brother Quan, open the door!" Lin Qiye turned to look at Ling Yue, only to see Ling Yue taking pictures of something with his phone...

"Brother Quan, can I open the door?" Ling Yue pretended to ask the person on the other end of the phone, but he didn't hear a reply from the other end for a long time.

"The thing is old, but it's not very useful..." Just as Lin Qiye and Baili Pangpang were wondering what Ling Yue was doing, a voice seemed to enter their minds.

Then a background music started playing—"The most sentimental thing is the snow in the spring courtyard, which falls year after year in the garden of parting lovers..." Just as the music on Ling Yue's phone reached its climax, a clear and cold female voice came from behind everyone.

"Step aside."

The three of them were all taken aback, and then looked behind them.

A tall woman stood behind them. Her long, blood-red hair fell naturally to her waist, and her heroic face, even in the simple recruit uniform, had a unique charm.

She glanced at Baili Pangpang, then ignored Lin Qiye beside him and Ling Yue in front of the door, and walked straight to the warehouse door.

Ling Yue recognized the woman in front of him at a glance. He seemed to remember that Fatty liked this woman, but this woman seemed to have some resentment towards the rich... Ling Yue didn't know the later plot, so he naturally didn't remember the characters who didn't appear very often.

"Who are you?" Lin Qiye asked, somewhat puzzled. He had been looking down the whole day and hadn't seen the woman in front of him before.

"Molly." Molly's cool voice rang out, and then, ignoring the background music playing on Ling Yue's phone beside her, she gently placed her fair hand on the surface of the warehouse door.

Seeing that Molly was about to activate the forbidden barrier, Ling Yue quickly stopped her. "Hey! Don't mess with me, I have a way to open the door!"

Molly turned to look at Ling Yue, who looked somewhat fierce, and a sense of curiosity arose in her heart. She had been behind the three of them since Ling Yue started shouting to open the door, but she only came out when she saw that they couldn't open the door for a long time.

At this moment, Molly wanted to see what Ling Yue's abilities were. Just playing a nice song and the door opened automatically? How could that be!?

Molly took a half step back, gesturing for Ling Yue to continue opening the door. If Ling Yue opened it, all would be fine; but if he couldn't, she would hold him accountable for wasting her time...

Ling Yue could have opened the door immediately, but that would have been too ceremonial. So he took his phone out of his pocket again.

The most sentimental sight is the snow in the spring courtyard.

Every year, the garden is filled with fallen petals.

Xue Tao's signature reads: "As if we had met for the first time..."

Just as Molly was getting impatient, the iron gate in front of them slowly opened, as if someone inside was opening it for them.

Seeing this, Molly became alert, thinking there might be someone inside. But out of her sight, Ling Yue's hands, glowing with golden light, were controlling the iron gate to move...

Five seconds later, seeing that no one was attacking from inside, Molly finally understood.

Her tone remained cold: "Is this your ability?"

But Ling Yue didn't answer her directly, his tone tinged with a hint of pleasure: "How about that? You opened the door just like that, aren't you amazing?"

Molly nodded silently, then walked straight to the innermost part to choose a weapon.

Baili Pangpang, however, looked on with starry eyes: "Wow! Brother Yue is awesome! Brother Yue, can you teach me? I want to become that handsome too!"

Baili Pangpang didn't understand, but he thought it was amazing.

But Lin Qiye, standing beside him, saw through Ling Yue's actions at a glance. He was simply using his hands to remotely control metal elements to open the iron gate from the inside. If he had that ability, he could do it too. (T_T)

Ling Yue's blunder even startled the Moon Ghost, who had just disappeared, causing the Moon Ghost to quickly report into the walkie-talkie.

"Holy crap! Captain, I saw someone play a song and open an iron gate bigger than a Rose Hammer!"

Upon hearing this, Wang seemed to be deep in thought, and said calmly, "Calm down first. Was that person wearing the Five Spirit Lock on his left hand?"

Moon Ghost didn't know what the Five Spirit Lock was, but he could see that Ling Yue was indeed wearing a strange watch on his left wrist.

“Yes! He does have a watch on his wrist that is predominantly golden in color.” Yue Gui said with certainty, clearly having been stunned by Ling Yue’s actions and thus losing his ability to judge. Otherwise, he would have definitely guessed it under normal circumstances.

Wang Mian's tone was somewhat solemn: "Then this person should be the biggest obstacle to our success in this mission. I forgot to tell you before, this person is called Ling Yue, and the Forbidden Ruins is the [Five Elemental Locks]. It's the animated film before the Mist descended upon the world. You can watch it later to learn more about it."
