I discovered a world bug.

Meanwhile, in Linchuan City.

Inside the meeting room.

Qin Lang looked serious, and the laser pointer in his hand left a glaring red mark on the screen.

"Target location has been locked."

He began to speak:

"Located in Mengxiu, Ruili, in an abandoned villa area."

"Prior to this, we had already determined his general whereabouts based on information about Fu Quan's social activities—probably Southeast Asia and Myanmar."

"But we cannot pinpoint his exact location, and therefore we cannot pinpoint the main activity areas of the Hongyuan Society."

"But this morning, Mengxiu County reported a missing person case. Based on the last mobile phone activity signal of the missing person, we determined his whereabouts."

"The location is within the villa area—that villa area project has been halted for over five years, and all the residents have moved out."

"But two years ago, three of the villas were auctioned off during the disposal of non-performing assets by the bank. The buyer was a private company called 'Tiandi Hongyuan'."

"This company mainly deals in jewelry and jade, with business operations covering Myanmar and Yunnan."

"After carefully examining its cash flow records, we discovered abnormal cash flows from overseas and determined that the company used USDT cryptocurrency for settlement on a large scale."

"At this point, all the clues have come together, and we can be basically certain that this company is the operating entity of the Hongyuan Society. The main leader of the Hongyuan Society is currently hiding in Mengxiu, and is very likely hiding in the villa area."

"Local authorities have imposed a lockdown on the relevant areas, and border patrols have been strengthened."

"Mengxiu only takes in but doesn't come out; we'll trap them like turtles in a jar."

"Now, I will make the specific operational deployment as follows..."

Lin Shu sat in a seat near the front of the conference room, listening to Qin Lang's battle plan while constantly jotting down various key points in her notebook.

Without a doubt, the upcoming battle will be a true "final showdown".

Compared to the actions taken in Lishui County, the official coordination was on a larger scale, with greater organizational strength and more resources invested.

Not only did the local border defense department join in, but the special forces unit that had participated in the "Kunming Corpse Incident" was also urgently transferred to the Yunnan-Myanmar border to prepare for combat in advance.

Meanwhile, the YN Provincial Police Department was also included in the response sequence, with large numbers of police officers taking to the streets to patrol day and night, preparing to deal with the chaos that might be caused when the other side was cornered.

As for the air forces that might be needed for a decapitation strike, they have already conducted multiple rounds of aerial reconnaissance, and even carried out live-fire operations over the target area...

With such a powerful and complex contingency plan, if it were only aimed at "ordinary targets," Lin Shu couldn't imagine how the other party could possibly survive.

But... he had a bad feeling about it.

Is that really enough?

Can relying on "worldly" power truly effectively counteract the power of ritual?

The other side was clearly alarmed, and their methods were obviously already in the works.

So, what exactly are they planning to do?

Lin Shu took out the phone left by Li Yu—in that airplane group chat, everything was still as usual.

Of course, this is normal.

The authorities had already arranged to monitor this group, and they should have issued an immediate warning if there were any unusual messages.

Lin Shu scrolled through the messages one by one, trying to find some clues from the snippets of conversation among the people in the group.

But the people in this group seemed completely unaware of the big event that was about to happen, and continued to sell all sorts of random items and share all sorts of random stories and observations.

After leaving the group chat and clicking on the client's profile picture, Lin Shu saw that the message she had tentatively sent earlier had not received a reply.

It was obvious that they had completely submerged underwater.

When they reappear, a massive wave, jointly propelled by both sides, will be unleashed...

"call......"

Lin Shu let out a heavy sigh.

Qin Lang has already discussed the specific military tactics and deployments, which are not very relevant to me.

So he took out his phone, hesitated for a long time, and then sent a message to Xie Yuchi.

"I'm going on a business trip to Yunnan soon. You know the password to my house. If I can't come back in a while, could you help me air it out so it doesn't get moldy and smelly when I get back?"

"Also, it's almost Dragon Boat Festival, and I definitely won't be able to come back before then. Could you buy some zongzi (sticky rice dumplings) and send them to my family? Just say they were sent by the company."

Lin Shu posted these two messages with a tone reminiscent of a "will".

Because he didn't know if he could get through this time.

Or rather, even if they manage to get through, will they be able to come back unscathed?

I still have faith in the power of the authorities, but we always have to be prepared for the worst...

A few seconds after the message was sent, Xie Yuchi replied.

"What's wrong with you?"

She didn't even use any emojis; her tone was cold and skeptical.

"You've been running around here and there lately, acting all mysterious, and you haven't said what you've been doing."

"What happened to you? Can't you tell me?"

"Nothing happened..."

Lin Shu replied:

"It really is work, but it involves a confidential project, so I can't say for the time being."

"????"

Xie Yuchi typed a string of question marks.

"Secret? What project is so strictly confidential?"

"You're not a researcher, why do you need to keep it a secret?"

This question caught Lin Shu off guard.

To be honest, what I'm doing now could actually be considered a kind of "scientific research," right?

Moreover, it involves research in a completely new field that has never been extensively explored before...

He couldn't help but laugh and continued in reply:

"If that's the case, it does have something to do with scientific research. I'll talk to you about it in detail when I get back."

"Just do as I say, you're not even going to help with this little bit?"

"...Okay. Remember to call home before you go."

"it is good."

Lin Shu responded with an "OK" gesture and put down her phone.

Call home...

He really didn't want to fight.

The main problem is that I don't know what to say.

They said I'm going to do something big, and I might not come back?

Oh no, it's that even if you don't do it, you might just die suddenly. You two, with your white hairs burying your black hair, please don't be too heartbroken.

Forget it...

It would be better not to fight at all.

If something really happens, the authorities will definitely be able to handle things on the parents' side...

With that thought in mind, Lin Shu put down her phone.

At that moment, Qin Lang finished speaking.

"That concludes all the arrangements. We will take 12 noon today as 0:00. All units will enter combat readiness."

"At 0+2, the operation begins precisely on time."

"Note that during operations, the goal is not to capture prisoners or keep them alive."

"Once a threat is confirmed, eliminate it immediately, understand?"

"clear!"

"Understood!"

The heads of each department responded one by one, and Qin Lang waved his hand, dismissing the operational deployment meeting.

Then, he walked straight to Lin Shu and said:

"Ready to go."

"We'll fly to Ruili right away, and then the plane will take off again. You can stay on the plane."

"I'm not going to the scene?"

Lin Shu asked in astonishment:

Why?

"For your safety—at least on the plane—we can isolate you from all other additional attacks, allowing you to focus on dealing with just one type of attack."

"...That makes sense."

Lin Shu nodded, then said:

"But there's a problem here—staying on the plane, I can't sense any enemies."

"Even the snake and Yinshan rituals require the practitioner to have 'seen' or 'perceived' the target. Yu Zhe once followed me from afar."

"How can I act if I can't see them?"

"We don't necessarily need you to do anything."

Qin Lang replied:

"Your safety is our top priority."

"in addition......"

"If it requires 'sensing,' I can make the plane fly a little lower."

"Why don't you try combining the 'Sealing Technique' with your snake then?"

In an instant, Lin Shu's hair stood on end.

Combined with...

This does seem to be a viable path.

If it really succeeds...

Then one's abilities will achieve a qualitative leap!

But the prerequisite is that you yourself must be attacked.

Anyway, it's definitely worth a try...
