I manage female characters in all the heavens.

However, Han Chan was no longer there, and the group found nothing, unable to locate her in the crowd.

He truly lives up to his reputation as a level-five assassin. He may be a bit arrogant, but his skills are undeniable. His disguise is so masterful that even his peers can't spot the flaws.

Before the amazement could subside, another message came through the group chat, sent by Hanchan.

First, there was a photo of the second layer, then four words:

"That's all there is to it."

Everyone's eyes widened, and they gasped in surprise.

Wow, that was fast! It's only been ten seconds and we're already on the second floor?

Ten seconds later, the photo from the third floor arrived, captioned "Easy peasy".

Everyone was taken aback. "No, ma'am, are you planning to send a message every time we pass a level, so that we can also feel involved in the challenge?"

No need!

Focus on completing the level, lady! You're spending more time sending messages than actually completing the level!

As expected, everyone's guess came true. For the next four, five, six, seven, and eight levels, Han Chan sent out a message saying that she had passed the level, making everyone regretful.

Hanchan, you're going to suffer for being so careless!

But she was really fast, and she passed through the checkpoints so smoothly, as if she encountered no obstacles at all. She simply took a walk and got through.

At this rate, she might actually be able to clear the game!

In the 99th-floor security chief's office, Song Yi watched the cicada on the screen with great interest and said to Su Xiaoqian beside him:

"I didn't expect your connections to be so effective. There's not even anyone who dares to question you. You're incredibly powerful, Qianqian."

That's right, Han Chan disguised herself as Su Xiaoqian, the nominal secretary and assistant of the Weiwu Group, but in reality, the group's vice president and the rumored illegitimate daughter of Chairman Chen.

It's unclear whether Han Chan did some prior investigation or knew about Su Xiaoqian's power within the Weiwu Group, which allowed her to infiltrate the company disguised as her.

However, before you begin your infiltration, could you please confirm whether Su Xiaoqian is actually in the group?

Alternatively, they could arrest Su Xiaoqian, cut off her contact with the outside world, or simply kill her.

It's really stupid of you to infiltrate right under my nose like this!

Song Yi shook his head and sighed, "The Level 5 assassin Han Chan, such a great reputation, and this is all it is?"

He picked up the walkie-talkie and ordered the security guards at the new ninth level to take down the fake Su Xiaoqian.

The fake Su Xiaoqian, who was just about to pass through the checkpoint, was caught off guard and had no time to react. Four or five electric batons were thrust directly into her body, causing her to fail her tribulation on the spot and nearly perish.

Su Xiaoqian was terrified and felt a chill run down her spine.

Even though I knew it was fake, you guys were too ruthless! That was my face!

No, these security guards need to be transferred to the branch office; we can't let them stay at headquarters!

In the distance, the assassins, who were observing from various locations using binoculars, were immediately startled.

"So that's how it is. You disguised yourself as the chairman's illegitimate daughter to prevent the security personnel from conducting a thorough search and questioning, thus allowing you to get through the checkpoint?"

"The idea was indeed good, but Han Chan was careless. He didn't expect that Su Xiaoqian herself was also paying close attention, and directly ordered a sneak attack to capture her."

"Alas, you proud cicada, if only you had consulted with us who arrived earlier before taking action, you wouldn't have made this mistake."

"A level-five assassin, nothing special..."

A glass of cold water was splashed on the bound and gagged fake Su Xiaoqian to wake her up. The cold water soaked her clothes, outlining her beautiful and graceful figure.

Song Yi raised an eyebrow and teased, "Qianqian, I didn't expect you to be so well-endowed."

Su Xiaoqian blushed and quickly grabbed a towel to cover the fake's upper body.

That damned killer, did they even study my body shape so meticulously? To recreate it to this extent is outrageous!

Ignorant! Since you've chosen to disguise yourself, you should make sure every aspect is flawless. That's the meticulous attitude an assassin should have. Su Xiaoqian, mind your own business.

Song Yi sat imposingly before the fake Su Xiaoqian, and chuckled maliciously as the beautiful young woman slowly awoke.

"Higurashi, is it? Do you have time to listen to my explanation of the story of 'Yomi'?"

The fake Su Xiaoqian was taken aback at first, then smiled and said, "Of course, we have plenty of time to talk about everything, try everything, and enjoy everything, as long as you're willing."

As she spoke, she twisted her body, making a certain part of her body, which was bound by crisscrossing ropes, stand out even more, while her eyes were filled with seductive allure.

Song Yi was speechless. Holy crap, you're so sassy!

Just as he was about to slap the prisoner twice to bring him to his senses, a piercing alarm suddenly went off.

"Minister, the 14-layer iris recognition system has detected an intruder!"

"The infiltrators are dropping the pretense and opting for a frontal assault!"

"So strong, so fast, we can't stop him at all!"

"what!"

For a moment, the communication frequency bands were extremely noisy, clearly indicating a fierce battle was taking place.

Song Yi was taken aback: "There are more experts?"

The assassins who had been observing from outside were startled again, recalling a rumor.

"There were rumors that Hanchan was not a person, but a group, and now it seems that it may be true."

"One person pretends to be Su Xiaoqian, allowing her to infiltrate unknowingly and then expose herself. The other person takes advantage of the chaos caused by the exposure of the fake Su Xiaoqian to pass through the level."

"Such deep thoughts, such powerful calculations, such a ruthless heart! He abandoned his companions and even fooled us!"

"Unfortunately, we were still exposed and stopped at the 16th floor."

Shortly afterward, the intruder who chose to force his way in collapsed in the ultrasonic-sounding corridor on the 16th floor. When he was brought there bound hand and foot, he was still dizzy, tinnitus, nauseous, and vomiting, with no strength left in his body.

Song Yi tore off the human skin mask from the man's face, revealing a fair and beautiful face underneath.

"Who are you?" Song Yi asked.

The infiltrator, having finally recovered, proudly declared, "I am Han Chan."

Song Yi was taken aback and looked at the fake Su Xiaoqian: "Then who are you?"

The fake Su Xiaoqian smiled radiantly: "I am also a cicada."

In her heart, Su Xiaoqian screamed, "Don't you dare use my face to laugh like that!"

Song Yi frowned: "Is Han Chan not an individual, but a group?"

"Guess," they both said in unison.

"I bet you're a son of a bitch! Guards, bring on the torture!" Song Yi shouted.

However, the next moment, another alarm sounded.

It turns out that someone had infiltrated the 19th floor before the physiological information collection and analysis system detected the clues!

The assassins exclaimed in amazement: "There are still people in the Cicada game! They've made it to level 19! The same strategy worked twice! Unexpected and thought-provoking!"

"If we had a few dozen more Chirping Cicadas, we might actually be able to clear the game!"

"As long as we can't overcome the heavenly barrier, we will never die! Charge!"

The next second, the cicadas cried out in despair, unable to rise again.

Soon, another person was tied up and brought in front of Song Yi. The mask on their face had already fallen off, and their once beautiful face was swollen like a pig's head.

She fared even worse than the previous two, as she was taken down by the catapult floor on the 19th floor. She was launched to the ceiling and crashed down, only to be bounced up again, repeating this nearly ten times, leaving her bruised and swollen.

But she remained undeterred, her cold eyes filled with a fearless spirit that defied death.

"The mighty Heavenly Pass lives up to its name. I, the Cold Cicada, have fallen. Do with me as you please."

What are you spreading rumors about? This checkpoint was just set up yesterday, there's no way there are any rumors to speak of.

By elevating your opponent to make your defeat seem justifiable, and by forcibly trying to save face, I saw right through you!

"Is there anyone else here?" Song Yi asked in a deep voice.

She sneered, "Guess?"

Song Yi rolled his eyes. No wonder you're in cahoots. Birds of a feather flock together.

Chapter 44 The Heavenly Gate Sweeps Across the Land, the World Boils Over

Medication, pain, subjugation, PUA...

The three cicadas immediately knelt on the ground, prostrated themselves, and cried out in gratitude to the Lord, confessing everything honestly.

There is no fourth Hanchan anymore. The beautiful woman who was caught last is the leader of Hanchan, known as Hanchan Number One. She has the best mind and the strongest overall strength.

Han Chan is primarily responsible for maintaining her position as a Level 5 assassin.

The second one to be captured was Hanchan No. 2, the team's close-quarters combat and marksmanship specialist, who preferred head-on confrontations.

The first fake Su Xiaoqian to be caught was Han Chan No. 3, the team's expert in disguise and contortion, and also in charge of using her beauty to seduce others when necessary.

The three are half-sisters, inseparable, and have worked together for ten years, making a name for themselves as the Cold Cicadas, sharing the honor of being a Level 5 assassin, and becoming a force to be reckoned with in the underworld.

But now, they are all people of the underworld.

From now on, not only their fame, but also their money, their power, and even themselves, will belong to Song Yi.

Outside the Mighty Building, after waiting for a long time without seeing any more Han Chan make a move, everyone fell into a solemn atmosphere.

"Is Higurashi out of players? Only three left? Stopped at level 19?"

"So arrogant, I thought she was so great, but in the end, her record is just equal to the highest record of the dozen or so guys ahead of her. She's all talk and no action."

"I don't think it's that simple. Perhaps more of the Cold Cicadas have already taken advantage of the previous chaos to secretly infiltrate higher levels and are moving towards clearing the level, but they just haven't been exposed yet."

"That makes sense. After all, he's a level five expert. How could he fail so easily? He must have a backup plan!"

"Then, shall we wait a little longer?"

Half a day passed, and the Mighty Building remained silent. Everyone understood that the Cicada had probably truly failed.

"Alas, the rebuilt Mighty Heavenly Gate is truly powerful; even a dignified level 5 assassin is stopped at the 19th level."

"Who else can emerge out of nowhere and break through this barrier of despair?"
