"Is that so? A bloody disaster?" Long Yuehong was quite sensitive to this matter.

In this operation, none of the "Old Task Force" members even suffered a scratch. The most serious blow was being poked by a stone while sleeping on the ground.

Bai Chen, who was driving, glanced at Long Yuehong beside him, his gaze lingering on his chest for two seconds:

"Does this count as a bloody disaster?"

Because he had shot Qiao Chu at close range, Long Yuehong's clothes were splattered with a lot of blood, making it look like he was injured.

Recalling the blood-red scene after Qiao Chu fell to the ground, Long Yuehong hesitated and replied:

"I guess so..."

Could it be that the ones with a bloody disaster weren't them, but Qiao Chu and Professor Qin?

Was the blood color that Shang Jianyao saw actually from them?

Jiang Baimian considered for a moment and said:

"Only勉强 (Mianqiang - barely) counts.

"So, before tomorrow arrives, we can't relax our vigilance, lest the prophecy be fulfilled in a way we don't expect."

"Bai Mian is always cautious." Shang Jianyao clapped his hands and praised.

Jiang Baimian glared at him and then said:

"Should we discuss the distribution of spoils with that avatar of Gitis later, or should we look for her directly after we finish other things?"

"This should be asked of Gitis," Shang Jianyao pointed out.

The next second, the voice of Gitis's male body sounded in their ears at the same time:

"Meet me at the safe house I prepared tonight."

She had a day off today and didn't need to go to the "Fire and Iron" Hotel.

"Okay." Jiang Baimian nodded with a smile.

She felt that with Gitis's style, she wouldn't fail to monitor their internal communication at this time, lest she be discarded after serving her purpose.

The "Old Task Force" returned to the "Fire and Iron" Hotel and entered the suite with their spoils.

They weren't in a hurry to verify the functions of the two items, but rather Shang Jianyao explained in detail the information he had explored within Professor Qin's "Sea of Origin".

After repeated confirmation, Genava took out a map of the Old World and pointed to a certain place on the ice sheet:

"The Eighth Research Institute should be here."

Then, he unfolded a simple map made in contemporary times and made a comparison.

"Well, I have a rough idea of the specific location." Jiang Baimian nodded.

She pondered for a moment and said:

"Regarding the Eighth Research Institute, our mission ends here. Next, we will report the location to the company, and the board of directors will decide how to deal with it."

"I hope they join forces with other major forces and directly destroy the Eighth Research Institute!" Shang Jianyao looked like he "also wanted to participate."

"Yes, yes." Long Yuehong had a very bad impression of the Eighth Research Institute.

Moreover, the "Old Task Force" had encountered several attacks from the Eighth Research Institute.

If this organization wasn't destroyed, unless they returned to the underground building and stopped going out, Long Yuehong would find it difficult to feel completely at ease.

Jiang Baimian immediately moved out the group's radio transceiver, sent the specific location of the Eighth Research Institute back, and requested the Security Department to confirm it with a password in the shortest possible time, lest they suffer interference and fail to send the message successfully without knowing it.

A few minutes later, "Pangu Biology" replied, affirming the "Old Task Force's" contribution in the form of a password, and then told them that the previously requested biological agents were stored within the "White Knights" territory, and could be delivered to Gestaltburg in at most three days.

"The company actually has those two biological agents stored within the 'White Knights' territory?" Long Yuehong was a little surprised.

Although this was one of the situations the "Old Task Force" had expected, he didn't think it would actually happen.

Jiang Baimian thought for a moment and said:

"Perhaps Gitis's parents' illness is a relatively common type in the 'White Knights'. The company's intelligence personnel specially prepared some to buy people over at critical moments."

Thinking of the factory area's terrible environment, the air quality in Gestaltburg, and the workers' early morning and late night labor, Long Yuehong felt that the team leader's reasoning was quite convincing.

Jiang Baimian then sent another telegram back to "Pangu Biology", reporting their subsequent itinerary and plan.

The content was very simple, that was that the "Old Task Force" would go to Konningsmes to find the whereabouts of Shang Jianyao's father's team.

This was something they had told the company before they set off, and coupled with the fact that it involved Shang Jianyao's father, no one could find fault with such a decision.

…………

Gitis's male body drove the deep red off-road vehicle towards the neighborhood he usually frequented.

In a room there, Gitis had been waiting for some time, preparing to take back the Bodhi Statue.

Not long after, Gitis's male body found a place to park in a quiet alley.

As "he" opened the car door, holding the Bodhi Statue, a figure suddenly appeared on the open space beside him.

This figure was a woman, with an oval face, willow leaf eyebrows, and extremely symmetrical features, as if she had been specially polished by an artist.

She wore a white shirt inside, a blue denim jacket outside, a wide-brimmed high-top felt hat on her head, and held two "United 202s" in her hands.

As she emerged, two dark gun muzzles aimed at Gitis's male body.

With two bangs, blood-colored flowers bloomed, and Gitis's male body was torn apart.

Before "he" could even react, he was seriously injured and fell to the ground, entering a dying state.

The attacker fired two more shots at his head, causing blood to flow everywhere, a tragic sight.

Then, she put away her pistol, bent over, quickly picked up the Bodhi Statue, and left the scene from the other end of the alley.

In a room one or two hundred meters away, Gitis "saw" the scene of the avatar being attacked.

It all happened so suddenly that she couldn't react at all, unable to use her abilities, and then she was enveloped by the painful feeling transmitted back by the avatar's consciousness.

She let out an uncontrollable scream, convulsed and fell, curling up.

After she initially returned to normal, she felt a splitting headache and mental emptiness, while also worrying about the other avatars.

The Bodhi Statue was now quite far away from her, and she could no longer sense it, let alone control it, but the effects of "Divine Mirror Sight" and "Destiny Sight" could still be maintained for a while, so that her other avatars wouldn't die on the spot.

Knowing that this was difficult to sustain, Gitis was both angry and anxious, but still maintained basic calmness, allowing those bodies to enter the "death" process respectively.

This could allow the people around those avatars to be prepared for what was about to happen next, so as not to be too shocked.

This was a question of how to end things that Gitis had considered long ago.

…………

At eight o'clock in the evening, Shang Jianyao and Jiang Baimian met Gitis at the safe house.

"What, the Bodhi Statue was robbed?" Shang Jianyao looked shocked.

Honest as he was, he quickly added:

"You don't think we did it, do you?"

"If it were you, there would be other opportunities, you could even kill me together." Gitis's expression was gloomy with a hint of bewilderment.

"Did you see the attacker?" Jiang Baimian asked.

Gitis recalled and said:

"Yes."

She told the "Old Task Force" how the attacker appeared and their approximate appearance.

"We've seen this person!" Shang Jianyao enthusiastically replied, "She's also from the Eighth Research Institute, specializing in stealth and assassination."

Jiang Baimian "hmm"ed:

"Qiao Chu and Professor Qin's collaborator?

"If she had also taken action at that time, the outcome might have been completely different."

This wasn't her exaggerating. Although the "Old Task Force" was wary of this assassin, there were too few ways to deal with her.

"She was late, so she tracked Gitis's avatar, snatched the Bodhi Statue, and then used it to deal with us?" Shang Jianyao boldly guessed.

Gitis hesitated and said:

"I feel like she was waiting for my avatar there from the beginning..."

"That's a bit strange," Shang Jianyao said on behalf of Jiang Baimian.

…………

Gestaltburg, in the room above Gitis's house.

Xu Lan, who had snatched the Bodhi Statue, turned on the radio and tuned to a certain frequency.

After completing this matter, she closed her eyes and waited patiently.

Not long after, Wu Meng's voice came from the radio:

"Was it successful?"

"Got the statue," Xu Lan replied.

Wu Meng laughed:

"Very good, next you just need to send it to the No. 13 Ruins, send it to me, and you can be free. At the same time, I will also bestow upon you the 'Asymmetrical Path'.

"As the saying goes, the Dao of Heaven does not contend but wins well, and asymmetry is also the greatest symmetry..."

Xu Lan nodded and said:

"Okay."

She then exclaimed:

"Your judgment is really accurate. When I followed that team, I really encountered the statue. If I didn't have to endure until they solved Professor Qin and found the specific location of the Research Institute, I would have taken action long ago.

"Professor Qin's so eagerly ambushing, wanting to make a contribution, wasn't he influenced by you at some point?"

Wu Meng leisurely smiled:

"The Dao that can be spoken is not the constant Dao..."
