While escaping cautiously, Chongzong kept an eye on the movements behind him.

Not only could he not make too much noise, but he also couldn't remain completely silent, otherwise the Atlas Brown Bear might not be attracted.

- Did the Atlas Brown Bear chase after him?

- Did Van manage to avoid the Atlas Brown Bear and successfully enter the archives?

While pondering over these questions, Chongzong also had to plan his escape route.

His goal was to lead the Atlas Brown Bear as far away as possible and delay it for as long as possible.

And he couldn't cause a commotion.

For this reason, Chongzong couldn't simply run without a plan and bring the Atlas Brown Bear to other security personnel. If he collided with others, he would be in big trouble.

- He must go to a place without anyone.

This seemingly simple condition was actually not easy to fulfill.

In the heavily guarded Yasaka Shrine, security personnel could be encountered anywhere at any time.

After not escaping for long, Chongzong, who was looking at the map, already realized that he had no way to retreat.

He could only temporarily hide at a corner and wait for the Atlas Brown Bear to pass by.

"...This is Eel No.1, Eel No. 2, report progress." (Chongzong)

Chongzong lowered his voice and confirmed the situation on Van's side.

This was the premise for all his subsequent actions.

"...Eel No.2 is still searching the target. It will take another five to ten minutes." (Van)

Van almost immediately answered Chongzong's call, and his voice was very calm and clear, indicating that he had successfully entered the archives.

However, accomplishing the task within five to ten minutes was not something easy to achieve.

If the Atlas Brown Bear walked past without noticing him, it would surely realize that it had fallen for a decoy trick and quickly return to the archives.

This would inevitably lead to a face-to-face encounter with Van, and the mission would most likely fail.

If the Atlas Brown Bear discovered him, the terrain and the situation would be extremely disadvantageous for Chongzong.

- Can't leave the outcome to luck.

Luck was playing too big of a role.

Chongzong believed that he couldn't trust luck with the outcome at this critical point.

He needed to change his way of thinking.

- He had to actively seize the opportunity and strike first.

Chongzong decided to stay in ambush and launch an attack the moment the Atlas Brown Bear appeared.

He had three advantages: information advantage (enemy in the dark), advantage in taking the initiative of the attack, and an opportunity for a decisive blow.

The electric shock gun, also known as the taser gun, issued to Chongzong by Manranyama Souren, had great power. If hit, the high voltage current would quickly subdue the target.

Chongzong was confident that even someone as physically robust as the Atlas Brown Bear couldn't withstand it.

But the problem was that the taser gun only had one shot. If he missed, the Atlas Brown Bear would not give him another chance to reload.

It will evolve into a hand-to-hand brawl.

In other words, it can only be a matter of survival now.

- But no matter what, taking the initiative is still better than leaving everything to luck.

After making a decision, Chongzong hid around the corner, holding his breath and focusing, listening to the footsteps of the Atlas Brown Bear getting closer step by step.

Although there were many thoughts racing through his mind, only a dozen seconds had passed.

It was still a long way from the five to ten minutes that Van had requested.

"Thud" "Thud"

The heavy footsteps of the Atlas Brown Bear felt like they were landing on Chongzong's heart with each step.

He was so nervous that his muscles were tense, but he desperately tried to relax his body.

"Thud" "Thud"

The sound indicated that the distance was less than two meters.

Chongzong exhaled all the air and then slowly inhaled.

- Come on.

In the moment when he saw the shadow of the Atlas Brown Bear appear, Chongzong rushed out.
