The Professional Rankings, in twelve volumes, each bearing the name of my lord.

Glory City, the main city.

The resistance to the invasion of the abyss was originally well-organized.

Although it's visibly getting harder and harder to hold on.

But this is the normal pace.

The outer defensive structures were never going to hold out until the very end; the ensuing chaos would be a bloodbath, with everyone sacrificing their lives to protect the crystal.

Once reinforcements arrive from all sides, they can encircle the enemy from both inside and outside, achieving a counterattack and reversing the situation.

Every time Earth experiences an invasion from the Abyss, it follows this process.

But, to my utter surprise...

Just after Yue Sheng led the hundred-person trial team to break through the encirclement, a sudden change occurred.

One of the logistics professionals responsible for maintaining the barrier array suddenly made a mistake, stopping some of the barriers and allowing a large number of abyssal creatures to flood in.

There were also those who were controlling the defensive towers to attack, but they suddenly made a mistake and threw the towers' attacks into their own ranks, resulting in heavy losses for all the major battle groups.

Was it a mistake?

When the leaders of the various factions angrily confronted these people, they suddenly grinned.

He self-destructed!

As a result, several third-generation fighters were killed on the spot by the explosion.

The matter is not over yet.

Behind the commanders and soldiers of each major battle group, the people who were supposed to protect them instead turned on them and carried out a decapitation operation.

Without command, each combat squad can only fight independently, and the advantage of professional battle groups cooperating in combat is directly reduced to zero.

The advantage of deep-sea creatures has been further expanded.

Followed by.

Someone opened the city gate.

Someone has a backstab healing sequence for squishy targets.

Someone set fire to the city to create chaos.

They are not outsiders; they are all friends, teammates, subordinates, and leaders with whom we spend every day.

But now, they've gone mad, they've turned against us like crazy.

They stabbed each other in the back and caused sabotage.

The entire defensive rhythm of the main city was disrupted.

The absence of key personnel has further exacerbated the resistance situation.

The creatures of the abyss could not be stopped.

They swarmed into the city like locusts.

The professionals are putting up a fierce fight, but at the same time they must be careful, lest their teammates suddenly stab them in the back.

Everyone was terrified.

They longed for a passionate battle, but the battlefield was teeming with countless traitors.

A reign of terror is spreading.

No one knows why they betrayed us, and no one can understand why they were so determined to self-destruct when they were captured.

Although a group of third-tier experts had gathered around the main crystal, the sheer number of abyssal creatures pouring in caused the crystal's durability to drop rapidly with each self-destructing impact of the abyssal creatures.

The three hosts—the cross, the golden seal, and the bronze mirror—hiding in a dark corner of the city, emitted a chilling laugh.

"Look! I told you, I'm still useful. How about it? Glory City of China has fallen! My contribution is considerable, isn't it?"

The cross smiled.

"Great! Compass just called me over, and he's already taken action. This time it went very smoothly; we might actually succeed!"

Suddenly, Jin Yin cried out in surprise and disappeared into the ground.

"Hide! Bandits are passing by!"

"Bandits? Holy crap! I'm hiding too!"

"I'm out of tools and can't do anything. Don't abandon me, take me with you to hide!"

Nobody cared about Master Yan.

He could only take out a ghillie suit from his backpack, put it on, and lie down in the grass.

The bandits who passed by were wearing seven hoods.

There were too many abyssal creatures, so he could only keep moving around to avoid them, while also healing his teammates.

"Minor Healing Spell! Major Healing Spell! Lotus Blossom! Light the Lamp! Enlightenment! Small... Hey, this place is quite empty, let me touch up my makeup."

Seven men, each wielding a magic wand, unleashed one skill after another, keeping the nearby bandits alive.

As they kept dropping things, they inadvertently arrived at the place where the three dark artifacts had just been hiding.

This is a weed-covered alley between two houses, completely deserted.

Seven took out a makeup mirror from her backpack, then pulled out a powder compact and applied it to her wig.

Master Yan was speechless upon seeing this.

"You're crazy! Why are you touching up the makeup on the wig?!"

Now he understood even better why the bandit in the mirror image was so unreliable; the dark personality must have amplified these nonsensical behaviors of the bandit!

With one hand touching up her makeup, she used the other to cast healing spells, sending beams of healing energy flying in all directions.

As she was mending the mirror, Shichijo suddenly noticed something strange in the reflection.

There is a set of equipment and weapons, which is walking around on its own.

"what?"

Qi Tiao turned his head and saw a member of the Yanhuang Guild rushing toward Hua Chuangjing, the guild leader.

"Why?"

Shichijo pointed the mirror at him again. Upon closer inspection, he could still only see the equipment and clothes in the mirror, but there was a person in reality.

"What's going on? Has the equipment come to life?"

Unable to figure it out, they sent the message to the local area network, and the clones began brainstorming.

The results came out quickly.

"They're mirror images!"

"They came from the mirror world, so they can't be reflected in the mirror world!"

"That must be it!"

"Damn it! Seven, quickly remind President Hua Chuangjing, this mirror image approaching him might be on its way to self-destruct! Many third-tier experts have already met their demise like this!"

Qi Tiao immediately put away the mirror and cosmetics and shouted at the top of his lungs.

"President Hua, watch out!! A mirror image is approaching you, it's about to self-destruct!!"

Huachuang Jing is focused on clearing out the sixth-tier abyssal creatures that have flooded into the city.

Upon hearing this reminder, it immediately soared into the sky.

Just as he took off, someone at his feet indeed self-destructed.

"That was close!"

The power of a self-destruction is irrational.

If a second-tier professional self-destructs next to a third-tier professional, and the distance is close enough, and the latter does not have a deadly protective item like a dragon ring, it is entirely possible to empty the third-tier professional's health bar.

Even if the health bar isn't completely depleted, you can imagine how dangerous it is to be low on health in the current environment.

Hua Chuangjing looked at the bandit who had reminded him.

"Thank you very much, I will never forget this kindness."

Seven of them twisted shyly.

"It's okay~~"

Huachuangjing: "?"

The bandits' discovery was extremely important.

The mirror image was causing trouble in the city, which was also a headache for the bandits.

It's hard to tell friend from foe!

So, while continuing to grind monsters and earn reputation, the bandits shouted and announced the news.

"Use a mirror! A mirror can reflect a mirror image! If you see a faceless reflection in a mirror, that's your mirror image!"

The situation reversed after large-scale street fighting in the main city.

Professionals from various factions and government agencies frantically searched for mirrors or other reflective objects and began scrutinizing the people around them.

Sure enough, a lot of mirror images were found!

Faced with these mirror images, some people either killed them on the spot, while others couldn't bear to harm their friends and simply handcuffed them with abyssal rock handcuffs, intending to deal with them after the battle.

"Damn bandits! They've ruined our plans again!"

Just when things seemed to be going very well, traitors were being exposed one by one, much to Master Yan's anger.

Just then, an idea struck him.

"Huh? Those bandits all wear hoods and Taoist robes, completely covered up. What's the point of their mirror images dressing up like that?"

Just do it.

Previously, in order to create a mirror image of the bandits, Master Yan prepared a lot of bandit costumes, and there are still some left over.

Master Yan has lost his powers and can only entrust another cross and a golden seal to deliver these things to the still-living mirror image.
