"Stop!" Gu Zhilan wanted to tell him to stop.

Lalo did not stop and did not listen to the words of his benefactor's daughter, but he still turned his head to look at her.

What a cold girl. That's why her father kept nagging her when he first saw her. They must be lonely people of the same kind, but they just hide it in their hearts.

On the day of his coming-of-age ceremony, he was looking forward to gifts, but where could he find his relatives in this world?

It wasn't until a stranger came to the door, claiming to be the man's subordinate, that he realized the benefactor was a senior official of the Countermeasures Bureau. He prepared two gifts, one was a watch, and a note from the benefactor: saying that the boy must have his own watch when he grows up, and that he can plan his life independently in the future by allocating time properly.

Later, Lalo realized that this kind of gift is usually given by fathers to their sons, symbolizing the father's expectation for his son's independence. When people grow up, they always leave their elders, but how can an uncle give it to other boys? In fact, this world is not all cold and dark.

The second gift given by the benefactor's subordinates was the necklace that was stolen by Naya in the third district. The ice-blue crystal on the necklace was actually a medicine tube. This was a gift between men, and it was also something that Lalo wanted to hand over to Gu Zhilan personally.

The moment he learned that his benefactor had a daughter, he treated her as his sister, even though he had never met her.

But everything was messed up. When did it all start? Was I pushed into the abyss by something called fate? Dad

Was he destined to be pushed into suffering? He had already failed his benefactor, so he had to protect his benefactor's daughter. But... this was all a conspiracy, a conspiracy that had been set up since childhood.

Including the appearance of that man!

"Shoggoth... Shoggoth..." Those invisible ghosts lingered.

"Everything is a scam, including that man..."

"Strike back at this world, hate everything..."

It was Gu Zhilan's turn to be stunned. Why did the man's back look so crazy? Lalo stumbled to the ground, then got up again, like a beast that had smelled something. His cowardice and extreme inferiority were gradually swallowed up, and he rushed to the elevator.

The lights suddenly came on, and the power of this crumbling building was restored at the critical moment!

Gu Zhilan couldn't just watch Lalu running around. If he fell into the hands of the flower shop or Xinmin again, all her efforts would be wasted. The worst outcome would be if he was caught by the An family!

The moment the elevator door closed, she anxiously pressed the button for another elevator, wishing she could tear the door apart.

The second elevator opened, and she got in, unfolding the heavy silver sickle. At this time, a gust of wind blew, making people's scalps shudder, and the terrible sound of the wind seemed like something was breathing.

How could there be wind in the elevator? This was the most mysterious thing in the world. This was clearly one of the most enclosed places, where even mosquitoes couldn't fly out. She stared at the refractive wall uneasily, feeling that something was watching her from behind. There was a woman standing behind her.

Gu Zhilan didn't dare to turn around for fear of alarming the other person. The woman was not standing behind her, but hiding in the mirror.

The face kept changing, Xu Yanqian, Li Fei, Gu Simiao, Wu Shijiu, An Xiao... a series of very different and familiar faces gathered together, and finally turned into a blooming flower, and dissipated like ashes.

She shuddered. This scene seemed to foreshadow something. Everything would disappear like ashes, even the traces left in this world.

jingle——

The elevator door opened, and Gu Zhilan held her breath. The lights in the corridor illuminated the palace maids and the crazy La Luo. They regarded the man who suddenly appeared as an enemy and wanted to kill him. An Xiao was among them, and her eyes were frozen when she saw Gu Zhilan's surprise.

This was the first time they met after two months.

Gu Zhilan was surprised. She didn't expect An Xiao to be in this building. It turned out that it was An Xiao who forced the new people to abandon the Tananya family. She must have made a big fuss with Ottilia's court maid. At the same time, they were all doing their own things in the same place.

An Xiao stood beside Otilia, wearing a bloodstained sweater, holding the Falling Star that had killed who knows how many people. Her executive windbreaker had obviously been discarded, perhaps on her way out.

The sudden encounter did not make each other happy, but made them feel even more depressed.

Everyone knows what it means to be here. Everyone has witnessed the incident, and Gu Zhilan is also one of the leaders of the alien organization.

An Xiao's expression was very calm. This was the first time that Gu Zhilan saw her with this expression. After a brief surprise, she was indifferent and at a loss for words.

It’s like An Ran has never had any kindness towards anyone.

"Lan, why are you here? This is not the place for you to be." An Xiao said softly, and black butterflies seemed to be spinning in her eyes.

"You shouldn't be here, because then we will be enemies." Gu Zhilan said lightly, glancing at Lalo who was pinned down.

"Lan, if you have anything to say, let's talk about it when we get back."

"Explain? No need. I didn't intend to hide it for too long. It's just what you think. Everything was caused by the florist and I. The supporter behind the Tananiya family is the florist." Gu Zhilan said calmly, "You guys run away. This place is going to become a ruin."

An Xiao was silent for a long time, then sighed softly to hide his fatigue.

"Well I'm sorry, but I won't let you run away until you explain everything."

Chapter 122: The Wrath of the Shoggoth (Part )

The new citizens in the Tananian palace did not put up much resistance, and the executive officers broke in quickly, and some reporters also sneaked in.

The special car slowly stopped in front of the white building, which was the church in front of the palace and had hundreds of years of history. In front of the plaque, a group of people were talking to the camera. They were reporters who were reporting the situation. These desperate guys, with the protection of the executive officers, swarmed and sneaked around, always causing unnecessary trouble.

The reporter spotted the special car and thought it was a senior executive in person, so he ran over and knocked on the car window, as if he would not accept being refused.

The car window slowly opened and everyone shuddered. An Ran raised his eyes and swept across them with an indifferent gaze like a sharp blade of scrutiny.

"Is there something wrong?" An Ran asked calmly.

"Um..." The reporter was very nervous. He never thought that this was Director An Ran's private car.

"Reporter?" An Ran suddenly realized, as if she had just known the identity of the man outside the car.

"Yes Yes……"

The reporter thought to himself, I'm not a reporter. Someone next to him holding up the camera while holding up the microphone said, "Director, your eyesight is not very good?"

Of course, he couldn't say this out loud. He smiled awkwardly, feeling more nervous and fearful than excited.

After all, the chief director was well-known for never answering questions from reporters, and his indifferent look made it impossible to guess his emotions.

The reporter nodded and bowed subconsciously. This is how he usually tries to please important people, but he didn't know whether the man in front of him would buy in or not.

Seeing that the man didn't respond, he left tactfully, but when he turned around, he was stopped.

"tell me your name."

"Bodi, Bodi Greece Meiya." The reporter was stunned and turned around to answer. Could it be that he had won the favor of Master An?

"Very good, Bodi, you are an ordinary person, right?" An Ran nodded.

"Yes, Director An, I don't come from any family." The reporter was excited. Could it be that he wanted to take me in as a follower? So he asked about my family background.

"Then please leave here, Mr. Bodi." An Ran's next words poured cold water on him, "It's very dangerous here."

The reporter left disappointed, and before leaving, hesitating whether to look for another opportunity, but the top director had said that it would not be a wise choice to still stay here.

Secretary Lu, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was talking to the commander in the rear and raised his head to report the situation.

"The deployment of the palace went more smoothly than expected. The new people gave up the front palace. At present, it seems that they will concentrate their forces on the back palace, that is, the Ya Palace."

"How long will it take to break into the Ya Palace? I heard that they have taken members of the Tananiya family hostage, and Her Royal Highness the Princess is also inside." An Ran appeared to be concerned, but in fact he knew what was happening inside better than anyone else.

"The enemy is equipped with heavy firepower and unknown armed elements, probably mercenaries."

"How is Xinmin related to mercenaries?" An Ran pretended to be very concerned about this issue.

"The new citizens are a very special group. According to the information, their identities and origins cannot be underestimated. They come from various families in District 1. Only these nobles who hold wealth and power have the ability to directly access the path to becoming new citizens. In other words, they represent the power of District 1."

Secretary Lu answered seriously, and his heart was also stirred.

"If the headquarters had not acted swiftly and decisively, and if it had been a step later, allowing these wavering forces to make up their minds... the consequences would have been disastrous. Fortunately, they were wise and quickly cut ties with Xinmin, otherwise FACA would not have been able to enter the palace so smoothly."

“They’ve already put up obstacles before, haven’t they?

An Ran lowered his head and stroked the Devouring Martial Arts bracelet on his wrist, his tone sarcastic.

"They are just fence-sitters, and it has always been like this. If the new people really have the ability to shake the federal government and bring about unmanageable chaos, I believe these families will be the first to support them. I have to say that I admire my family very much. When I came to Santa Ana City, my family had already taken the lead in taking action."

"I remember that you, Director, have never had a good impression of your family."

Secretary Lu is not a member of the An family, but merely a clerk in the director's office. He knows more about the An family from An Ran's attitude.

Director An rarely praises his family.

"I'm not really interested, but I still have to show some respect. In fact, I don't hate the family that much." An Ran shrugged, his eyes fixed on the executive who was running towards him on the road.

"Director An, the deployment has been completed." The executive officer ran to the car window to report.

"Don't be too anxious. It's enough for the Countermeasures Bureau to keep the situation in the palace under control. The most urgent task is to deal with the new citizens who escaped from the Coster Theater. They are monsters more terrifying than the aliens and cannot be left alone. Tell the commander-in-chief of the headquarters that it is my intention to transfer the executive officers of the two battalions to form a new citizen search team. They will execute those who escaped within a week. From now on, I will grant the authority later."

"Got it!" The executive officer hesitated and said, "But if this is the case, we won't have enough manpower next time."

"Don't worry, don't they all think I'm an army of thousands?"

"Director, the Federal Supreme Council has just issued an operation appointment document, hoping that you will serve as the beheader." Secretary Lu said.

"The beheader?" An Ran became interested.

"Arranging the beheading is FACA's own business. It is very rare for them to take it so seriously. What evidence do they have to judge that the next target to be beheaded will appear? Or do these political masters know information that we, the Countermeasures Bureau, don't know?"

Secretary Lu shook her head in confusion, and she also realized that there was something strange going on.

Generally, only when super aliens appear, beheaders are needed. The executive officers who serve as beheaders are often first-class elites, except for An Xiao who has recently become famous. At present, FACA's intelligence is that the Tananian court is held hostage by the new people, and they have to solve the chaos.

Tonight is the end of Xinmin, they were defeated in the carnival.

While Secretary Lu was stunned, An Ran had already gotten out of the car, put on an executive officer's windbreaker, and entered the Ya Palace in full view of everyone.

Secretary Lu wanted to follow the other executives in, but was stopped outside.

"You cannot enter, Secretary Lu," the executive officer said. "This is for your safety."

"Protecting the director is the most important thing. Let me in!" Secretary Lu glared, "Do you know what you are doing?"

"This is the director's order."

"Impossible. If that's what he meant, he wouldn't have asked me to come all the way from District 3!" Secretary Lu looked at him seriously. "I have experience as Director An's adjutant for half a year. I must go with him!"

"The director's order..."

A loud slap hit the executive officer's face, and Secretary Lu angrily shouted, "Asshole! Director An's safety is the most important thing! Even if I die, he can't be hurt at all! Do you need me to send a document to the headquarters through the Director's Office right now?"

The officer had to make way, and the woman hurriedly chased after him.

She stopped and saw the executive officer confronting the other party in the square. The other party was holding a gun, and a group of hostages were kneeling in the middle, acting as human shields.

The leading man was obviously a member of the Tananiya family and was labeled as a new-school person. He hid behind the rear of the Ferrari with a pistol against the forehead of the female hostage.

The drizzle blocked the vision to a certain extent and was very uncomfortable when it fell on the body. The executive officer and the militants remained calm and no one retreated. The huge square was completely reduced to a parking lot and the rain was gradually getting heavier.

The other leader and An Ran's gazes penetrated the wet rain curtain and met each other's gazes. A dull, sarcastic laugh could be faintly heard.

It turns out that this is the method that Xinmin has been using to hold out, using hostages to confront the Countermeasures Bureau. Although it is old-fashioned, it is very effective. They are alien species without humanity. Everything that the thugs did can happen to them. The executive officer is unable to make a decision for a while.

The executive officers always claim to be ruthless venomous snakes, more violent than the aliens, but when faced with precarious hostages, they still reveal their flaws.

"I'm glad that the person who came to negotiate is Director An. You have a lot of say in the Countermeasures Bureau."

The leader was the first to break the silence, shouting at the top of his lungs, but because the square was too large and everyone was too far away, and the rain was getting heavier, it was difficult to hear clearly.

An Ran frowned and tilted his head slightly.

"What did you say?"

The leader couldn't hear An Ran's voice clearly from a hundred meters away, and thought he had successfully conveyed his words, so he continued to shout at the top of his voice:

"If you don't want anything to happen to these 42 hostages, dispatch all the helicopters overhead!"

"What did you say?" An Ran continued to ask.

In fact, he could hear it, but he just pretended not to hear it clearly. No one else could hear it clearly, so he must not hear it clearly either.

The hostage who could hear the conversation was speechless, with the corners of his mouth twitching.

"That boss..." The younger brother next to the leader scratched his head, "Why do I feel like the executive officer didn't hear what you said?"

The leader just sneered. He knew that the executive officer couldn't hear what he was saying, but he wanted to achieve the same effect.

If the executive officer wants to hear the conversation clearly, he will inevitably move closer and leave the safe distance, thus falling into a trap.

They are the active party in holding hostages, and the executor of justice is naturally the passive party. So if Director An wants to negotiate, he should get closer. This is how the world is. Justice must pay something in the face of evil in order to get fairness.

The leader made a gesture to An Ran, which was easy to understand: Come here quickly, I have something to say.

"Director, I'll go." Secretary Lu volunteered.

"Didn't I ask you to stay?" An Ran glanced at her. "Why did you come here?"

"It is my duty to assist you." Secretary Lu showed no selfish motives. "It was you who asked me to come here from District 3. You don't have to change your mind because you are worried about my safety."

"Actually, the reason I changed my mind was because I was afraid that someone would be jealous. It has nothing to do with whether you are safe or not." An Ran patted the secretary's shoulder and nodded affirmatively.

"I trust you very much. It would be better if you were not with me. I am grateful for letting you fly here in a helicopter so late at night."

After saying that, he drew his gun and shot at the hostages, and several of them fell to the ground.

The chief was confused.

The Xinmin people were stunned, and they couldn't believe what had happened. The top director, who was the executive representative, actually shot the hostages. Did this man think that as long as all the hostages were dead, the Xinmin people would have no bargaining chips? How dare he do that?
