When Qin Xinran opened her eyes again, she found herself in a hazy, boundless, mysterious world.

"Where...where is this?"

Qin Xinran stood there dumbfounded, her beautiful eyes filled with disbelief and shock.

She originally thought that the stone tablet was just a mechanism to open the basement or a secret door, and that the headquarters of Dawn was at most a huge air-raid shelter built under the museum.

But now she realizes she was wrong, terribly wrong.

There was no ceiling, no load-bearing columns, only... gray mist and an unknown, hard ground beneath one's feet.

"Could this be a separately created dimensional space?!"

Qin Xinran gasped, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Such bizarre methods of carving out a piece of land in the real world are simply beyond the capabilities of modern technology!

At that moment, she became even more certain that Dawn was an organization that had been established for hundreds of years.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to possess such terrifying abilities.

Just as Qin Xinran was immersed in the shock.

"Whoosh!"

A tall figure suddenly appeared from the gray mist ahead.

"Who?!"

Qin Xinran was already in a completely unfamiliar environment, and her nerves were on edge.

This sudden change made her as startled as a bird, her subconscious body reacting even faster than her brain.

"Shadow Mastery!"

With a sharp cry, the shadow beneath her feet instantly twisted and contorted, transforming into two jet-black blades, gleaming with a chilling, eerie light. With a flick of her wrists, the blades, accompanied by a piercing shriek as they tore through the air, hurtled straight for the attacker's throat!

"Ding-dong—!"

Two crisp metallic clanging sounds rang out.

Just as the blade was about to pierce through, a dazzling golden light suddenly burst forth from the newcomer's body.

The shadow blade, sharp enough to cut through gold and jade, collided with the golden light, only causing a tiny ripple before collapsing into a sky full of black mist.

"The reaction was good, but the power was a bit weak."

Su Yu casually waved away the remaining golden light and stepped out of the mist, his tone calm.

"Su... Su Yu?"

Upon seeing the familiar golden light and face, Qin Xinran immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and her previously tense body instantly went limp.

"I'm sorry, I... I was just a little too nervous." She quickly lowered her head and admitted her mistake.

Although she was apologizing on the surface, Qin Xinran's heart was in turmoil.

Although her attack just now was a subconscious counterattack, it was also a full-force attack without any reservation!

She knew very well how terrifying the Shadow Blade's destructive power was.

But... Su Yu didn't even dodge, and with just a layer of golden light, he took the hit head-on?

Just how terrifying is his strength?

Qin Xinran's awe of Su Yu had unknowingly reached a new level.

"It's alright. It's normal to be nervous on your first time at headquarters."

Su Yu ignored her earlier offense and turned to point to the majestic black stone palace in front of him.

"Let's go. Now that you're a member of Dawn, I'll show you around."

Qin Xinran nodded obediently and followed closely behind Su Yu.

The two first stepped into the main hall of the [Dawn Conference Room].

As soon as I entered.

Qin Xinran was completely overwhelmed by the overwhelming sense of antiquity and weight.

The towering dome, the dark gold round table, and the ancient murals on the walls depicting the ancestors fighting against monsters from the abyss.

Everything is silently telling an epic story that no one knows.

"What... is nailed to this pillar?"

Qin Xinran's gaze was fixed on the glowing unicorn skull on the left-hand support pillar, her voice trembling slightly.

Su Yu glanced at the fake he had created with his mind, and without batting an eye, launched into his deceptive act, his tone weathered and profound:

"This is a mythical creature that the third leader of Dawn slew in a dimensional rift somewhere in the west seven hundred years ago. Its horn could originally have been used to cure all poisons in the world, but it was corrupted in the battle against the Abyss and can only be left here as a specimen."

Su Yu paused for a moment, then pointed to the "dragon specimen" soaking in formalin above.

"As for that, you probably recognize it too. That's a real dragon. More than two hundred years ago, it attempted to unleash a tsunami along the coast, but my predecessors at Dawn extracted its tendons and made it into a trophy."

As Su Yu recounted these awe-inspiring "historical events" with such familiarity, Qin Xinran's mind completely lost the ability to think.

unicorn?

dragon?

So myths and legends are true!

It turns out that there really is such a force in this world, which has been silently standing in front of humanity for hundreds of years, slaying gods and suppressing the abyss!

Looking at the biological specimens that "exuded a terrifying aura," Qin Xinran's last trace of doubt completely vanished.

She even began to feel an indescribable sense of pride and relief.

I am grateful that I was chosen to join such a great organization with unparalleled foundation on the eve of the apocalypse.

After touring the conference room, Su Yu led her to the [Teleportation Portal] building.

"This is the core hub connecting reality and headquarters, the portal."

If members of the organization encounter insurmountable danger, they can use it to escape back here.

Su Yu gave a brief introduction, then picked up a black stone from the bronze platform and tossed it to Qin Xinran.

"This is a teleportation stone. Crush it, and you'll be instantly teleported here."

But remember, the portal has a three-hour cooldown.

It cannot be used again within these three hours. Therefore, unless it's a matter of life and death, don't waste it.

Upon receiving the slightly cool teleportation stone, Qin Xinran carefully kept it close to her body as if it were a priceless treasure.

With this, her survival rate outside almost doubled.

Then.

Su Yu then led her into the [Organization Mall].

When Qin Xinran, a business queen who usually treats money like dirt, saw the huge light screen floating in mid-air, densely displaying all kinds of extraordinary products, her eyes widened in astonishment.

"Bronze-grade weapons, silver-grade breastplates... you can even buy supernatural abilities?!"

Qin Xinran swallowed hard.

She thought that awakening her abilities would solve everything, but she never expected that in Dawn, as long as you have enough points and funds, you can buy anything you want.

Just then.

Su Yu skillfully operated the screen a few times, consuming a sum of points.

"Whoosh."

Two strange metallic objects, shaped like black wristbands, fell out of the light screen.

Su Yu tossed one of them to Qin Xinran.

"This is an encrypted communicator used exclusively by the organization."

Su Yu explained calmly, "The strange phenomenon will fully descend in five days, and communication base stations in the real world will inevitably be affected."

"With this, you can contact me or other members anytime, no matter where you are."

Furthermore, the information is transmitted in a higher-dimensional world, ensuring absolute confidentiality; no force can intercept it.

Qin Xinran quickly put the communicator on her wrist, feeling a warmth in her heart.

Su Yu's considerations were truly thorough.

We left the mall.

Su Yu pointed to the [Taskboard] on the right side of the hall and explained,

"That's where the organization issues missions."

The items in the shop are good, but they require points and funds. I'll check there more often, take on some bounty missions, and the points will accumulate naturally.

"Understood, Your subordinate." Qin Xinran nodded respectfully.

After the tour, Qin Xinran had gained a basic understanding of the headquarters' facilities.

Her heart, initially filled with shock, was now completely captivated by the unfathomable depths of Dawn.

The last stop on the tour.

Su Yu led Qin Xinran to the huge inverted "bird's nest" building located at the southernmost part of the base.

"This is the headquarters' exclusive training ground."

Su Yu pushed open the heavy iron door of a training room and gestured for Qin Xinran to go in.

"The room is made of a special high-dimensional material, which is soundproof and earthquake-resistant. Inside, there are metal dolls that can be infinitely restored, which can be used to test and hone abilities."

Qin Xinran nodded secretly, feeling that she also needed to familiarize herself with and master the skills as soon as possible.

After all, time is running out.

Even if one awakens an S-rank ability, without mastering it, one cannot unleash its full potential.

Just then.

Su Yu looked over.

"Alright, that concludes the introduction to headquarters."

Those eyes, like cold stars, held a hint of scrutiny and fighting spirit.

"Now that you have awakened an A-level ability..."

"Then let me weigh it myself..."

"Just how strong are you really?!"
