The organization I founded has been exposed by the reborn!

Under the intense gaze of Peng Tao and Li Zhengfeng, whose pupils constricted sharply.

The solid wood floor beneath Luo Qingyan's feet, which had been flat, began to twist and melt in a bizarre way, like a block of wax being heated.

Instead, there was a cold, ancient road paved with black stone slabs and shrouded in a thick, gray, ghostly mist.

This ancient path disregarded the physical barriers of space, like an ancient behemoth sleeping in the underworld, silently spreading outwards from beneath her feet in all directions.

As the Road to the Underworld manifested, the rules within the conference room seemed to be forcibly altered.

One after another, the bewitching red spider lilies, as vibrant as blood, forcefully broke through the dark stone slab, swaying and blooming wildly in the gray mist.

The once bright lights turned a pale green and dim, and faint sounds of mournful wailing, like the wails of countless dead souls, could be heard in the air.

oppression.

A sense of oppression, originating from the depths of their souls, gripped the throats of everyone present.

Li Zhengfeng, who was never afraid of anything, suddenly tried to stand up, but was horrified to find that his legs felt as if they were filled with a thousand pounds of iron and lead.

Under the chilling aura emanating from this road to the underworld, his knees, which had once carried heavy sandbags, began to tremble uncontrollably, and a deep impulse to kneel and submit arose in the depths of his soul.

Even the usually composed Old Master Sun's expression changed slightly when he sensed this life-stripping aura of death, and he tightened his grip on the teacup.

And this was merely the result of Luo Qingyan deliberately restraining her power to avoid hurting anyone.

If she were to unleash her full power, the oppressive force of the Yellow Springs, capable of forcibly suppressing the rules of vengeful spirits, would be enough to instantly shatter the will of these two tough military men, causing them to suffer a mental breakdown on the spot.

"Huff... huff..."

Peng Tao gasped for breath, staring at the extraordinary phenomenon of the Yellow Springs that defied the laws of physics. The doubt in his eyes vanished completely, replaced by deep awe.

"This is... S-class extraordinary power?"

Only at this moment did these two young military officers truly understand what kind of terrifying world beyond comprehension humanity would face in the future.

Luo Qingyan took in everyone's reactions and knew that she had achieved her goal of establishing her authority.

Her mind stirred slightly.

The swaying spider lilies withered instantly, and the pervasive ghostly mist and the pitch-black ancient road to the underworld receded as quickly as the tide.

The temperature in the conference room rose again, and the pale green lights returned to their bright state.

If it weren't for the fact that their shirts were completely soaked with cold sweat, they might have even doubted that the terrifying scene they had just witnessed was an illusion.

Li Zhengfeng slumped back into his chair, completely exhausted. The look in his eyes as he looked at Luo Qingyan no longer held any contempt.

"This kind of power... is indeed not something ordinary people can contend with." Old Sun put down his teacup, looked at Luo Qingyan with deep eyes, and said with a hint of emotion, "Comrade Qingyan, in order to obtain this power, you must have endured unimaginable pain in the bus station before."

Upon hearing the leader mention the passenger station.

Luo Qingyan's expression immediately turned serious, and she took the opportunity to continue the conversation: "Commander, this is also something I will be focusing on reporting next."

"The process of awakening prematurely is indeed extremely dangerous, as it requires stimulation from an extremely high concentration of eerie magnetic fields. The abandoned bus station in the southern suburbs where I just completed my awakening was heavily polluted by the dead ghost, and its magnetic field was abnormally active."

Luo Qingyan looked at Elder Sun and offered her suggestion:

"I suggest that we immediately deploy military forces to designate that bus station and the surrounding two-kilometer radius as a top-level restricted area and seal it off!"

"From now on, that will be the natural place for us to mass-produce awakened beings."

"As long as you choose to be stimulated by someone with a strong will, there is a high probability that you will awaken ahead of time."

Old Master Sun nodded in agreement: "Alright. Zhengfeng, I'm entrusting this matter to you. Send in heavy guards to ensure absolute safety."

"Yes!" Li Zhengfeng accepted the order and straightened his back.

……

After the lockdown of the passenger station was finalized, the atmosphere in the meeting room eased slightly.

But Qin Zhenguo did not sit down.

"Sir, there's something I haven't had a chance to report to you yet during our discussion about awakening."

Qin Zhenguo, in a low voice, recounted in detail to Elder Sun how he had used the Skynet to track down two Awakened Ones that morning, only to have his data erased.

"Erasing the nation's top-level database without a trace?" Old Sun frowned slightly, immediately sensing the seriousness of the situation. "You suspect that other supernatural forces have intervened?"

"It's not a doubt, it's basically certain."

Luo Qingyan picked up the conversation at the opportune moment, looking directly into Old Master Sun's eyes, her tone becoming unusually serious:

"Zheng Qiang and Feng Gang's sudden awakening, the traces of lightning suppression remaining in the abandoned bus station, and the erasure of Skynet data... If these seemingly unrelated events are connected, all the clues point to one fact."

"The Dawn organization we've been searching for, and its leader... are right here in Yanjing! Right under our noses!"

This statement came out.

Old Sun's originally calm and kind face instantly turned as solemn as iron.

Dawn breaks in Yanjing!

This news is both shocking and dangerous.

A terrorist organization with the power to awaken consciousness and even supersede the state apparatus is entrenched in the heart of the Dragon Kingdom, and they are completely unaware of it.

This sense of crisis, this feeling of "how can I allow others to sleep peacefully beside my bed?" cast a shadow over Old Sun's heart.

"Not only that."

Luo Qingyan took a deep breath and continued, "Chief, Zheng Qiang, the programmer recruited by Dawn, has awakened a [Mechanical Brain Domain] that makes him omnipotent in the world of networks and data."

"He can easily erase Skynet surveillance today, and tomorrow he can obtain more official information through the internet."

"Therefore, I suggest that, starting today, all top-secret information and strategic plans must be sealed on paper! They must absolutely not be uploaded to any network. Otherwise, given Zheng Qiang's capabilities, we will have no secrets whatsoever!"

Peng Tao and Li Zhengfeng felt a chill run down their spines.

After a programmer awakens to his true potential, he manages to force a superpower's network system to regress to the paper era?

Just how many monsters has the Dawn Organization recruited?!

Old Sun frowned and tapped his fingers heavily on the table twice.

"Prevention is important, but taking the initiative is fundamental."

Old Master Sun looked at Luo Qingyan and Qin Zhenguo, his voice carrying an undeniable authority: "Now that it's confirmed that Dawn is in Yanjing, what are your plans to find them?"

"Two steps."

Luo Qingyan had a plan: "First, the Skynet system will continue to operate around the clock. Although Zheng Qiang can erase traces, he can't keep an eye on things all the time. No matter how meticulous you are, there will always be a loophole. As long as they slip up, Skynet can lock onto them immediately."

"The second method is physical screening!"

"I've already discussed it with Director Qin. We've decided to mobilize all the police force, special agents, and plainclothes officers in Yanjing. Armed with photos of Zheng Qiang and Feng Gang, we'll conduct door-to-door inquiries and investigations throughout Yanjing!"

"If we can find any one of them, we can follow the clues and definitely find Dawn's hiding place!"

After listening to these two plans.

Old Sun nodded.

"This is truly the only option left."

Old Sun stood up and swept his sharp gaze across the four people present.

"Relying solely on the Paranormal Affairs Bureau and the police force is simply too short-handed and too slow. The arrival of the supernatural is drawing ever closer; we can't afford to wait!"

"Peng Tao, Zheng Feng!"

"Here!" The two officers snapped to attention.

"Select the most elite special reconnaissance battalions from major military regions, change into civilian clothes, and immediately deploy them to every street and community in Yanjing City! Assist the Paranormal Bureau in conducting a thorough search!"

Old Sun's voice echoed in the hall, carrying a resolute determination:

"No matter how deeply the dawn is hidden."

Even if we dig three feet into the ground in Yanjing City.

"Find them for me!"
