Chapter Ten

1

Energy Station A is the largest energy station on Mang Island, known for its diversified energy output. It can generate energy from traditional solar power, land crystals, and underwater crystals. Due to its multiple energy sources, it accounts for 80% of Mang Island's energy supply, hence its top-notch security measures.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Liu, but with your current authorization, I cannot allow you to enter," said the man at the west gate of the energy station. He appeared in the restaurant with a strong smell of alcohol. Initially, he nonchalantly approached the gate, but was stopped by the security guard who requested to see his credentials. However, his credentials did not carry enough authority.

"Heh, I don't have enough authority? I am the supervisor here!"

"Mr. Liu, you have been demoted. Kindly leave, or obtain approval from the president," the guard blocked his path. The guards at the station all wielded Magic swords, as long-range weapons were prohibited due to the nature of the energy station.

"You... don't mention that woman," the man pushed away the guard's sword, showing no interest in what he had to say. He continued to walk inside with a weary gait.

"Liubihan, come visit us, your old colleagues, if you have the time. Are you enjoying your time at the Ministry of Transportation?"

"He Yan? What's there to enjoy at the Ministry of Transportation?"

He Yan was a tall man, and he looked at Liubihan with a hint of pity in his eyes.

"Oh? If you're not happy, you can come back. If the president approves your request, you can be my subordinate, and I'll leave my previous position for you."

"I don't think your previous position suits me. Restoring my original position is why I'm here!"

"Can't even walk properly, how can you get back your original position?"

"I have obtained crucial information. Let me in, I want to see Lifenyi."

"He is very busy with his job. It's not as easygoing as before. Come back in two hours."

"No, I need to see him immediately."

Liubihan grabbed He Yan's sleeve, but He Yan shook him off and walked inside without even looking back.

Liubihan rolled on the ground for two laps, sobering up in the process.

"Hey! Listen to me! Someone is planning to attack this place, it's the Divine Clan, they have everything planned!"

He Yan halted his steps and coldly replied, "Weren't you trying to restore your position? Then why did you say it out loud?"

"There's not much time left, they are coming tomorrow night. Although... I used to be lazy and caused harm to many people, but now..."

"Guard, bring him inside," He Yan didn't wait for him to finish because he found it troublesome to continue listening.

Energy Station A, at the underground entrance, had a red-haired man named Lifenyi. After listening to the drunkard Liubihan's story about the restaurant, he found it strange.

"The Valkyrie has been here for so long, obviously with a purpose. Initially, it didn't seem like a problem to give up her original journey just for a plane incident."

"The Divine Clan must have obtained our internal documents and determined this place. There must be a mole among you," Lifenyi stated.

"Liubihan, everyone here used to be your subordinates. If there is a mole, it's the one you raised. Don't even think about restoring your position," He Yan replied.

"He Yan, you!"

"I am the supervisor here, He Yan," Lifenyi glanced at He Yan and calmly said, "Liubihan, if this is the truth, I will report it. Whether you can reclaim your current position or not, it depends on fate."

Lifenyi was actually very tired of his job inside. He had to accept orders from above and couldn't do otherwise.

"Lifenyi, the mole... is you. Thanks for leading the way," the voice of the girl made everyone's hearts tremble. It was unclear when she appeared, but it was certainly before they could start investigating the information.

"It... it's her, the girl from the restaurant!"

"Liu Bihan, you're so stupid. She tricked you into leading her here. Didn't you see if anyone was following you when you came?" He Yan was very angry. As the former supervisor here, he didn't even have this level of vigilance. It served him right to be demoted.

"But... but I clearly saw the Valkyrie!"

"That was an illusion." The girl's eyes turned purple, and everyone felt a chill run through their bodies. The guards stationed at the entrance to the underground floor lost their combat abilities.

"How can that be! She was right there... the Valkyrie and you..."

The three men in front of Li Zi Liu didn't immediately collapse. The Drunkard and Li Fengyi remained calm, while He Yan seemed to be barely holding on.

"As high-ranking Saint-class warriors, we're only one step away from Demigods. We're not afraid of your illusions, girl. You shouldn't mess with us." Li Fengyi felt that Li Zi Liu's illusions couldn't harm him, but he didn't know that Li Zi Liu was just casually waving her hand.

"The 'Coral Reef' surveillance Magic is behind you. Please step aside."

Li Fengyi quickly reached the entrance, where there was an emergency gate-closing button. Once activated, it could isolate the inside from the outside. However, the downside was that if he couldn't reach the button, it would be useless. By the time Li Fengyi reached the button, the entire button had already frozen over. He clenched his fist, feeling the wind attribute magic ** on his fist, and quickly slid it across the icy surface, but the ice remained intact.

"How is this possible!"

"If you claimed to be a God-ranked warrior, I might consider retreating, but unfortunately..." Li Zi Liu stood in front of Li Fengyi, her Illusion Eyes very close to him, almost filling his vision. Soon, he fell into an illusion and stood there quietly, while the other two people had long been frozen.

"You can come in now, our Valkyrie." Li Zi Liu called upstairs, and Elena walked in wearing sunglasses.

"They won't see me, right?"

Elena stood in front of one of the frozen men and wiped the ice off with her finger. The person inside had their eyes wide open. Although their eyeballs didn't move, it wasn't very reassuring.

"They're seeing illusions now. Even if they wake up, they won't take it seriously."

"That's great. I can't let them know that I, a God Clan member, am really involved in this."

Li Zi Liu pushed the ice sculpture of Liu Bihan.

"I've looked into this person. He was the former supervisor, with a bad work ethic, drinking heavily during work hours, and even sexually harassing others. As a result, he was demoted and transferred to the transportation department for a minor mistake. His drinking problem has only gotten worse since then, while he still hopes to be reinstated. We gave him a straight hook, and he took the bait."

Elena took off her glasses and glanced at the man, with a look of disdain in her eyes. "Sexual harassment and still hoping for reinstatement."

"Buy some time. Li Fengyi has already been controlled by the illusion, and he will guard the entrance to the first floor for us, but we can't guarantee that he won't be discovered."

"Jian Han's placement of the 'National Monitoring Magic' below the power station is quite creative. While the power station generates energy, it also interferes with the Magic users. It's a good disguise, and the energy supply here is the highest."

Li Zi Liu and Elena walked inside. This place was about 500 square meters in size, with a large 3D map depicting Jian Han's waters and land.

"The 'Coral Reef' has a hint of digital Magic. It would've been great if Tasha were here."

"Tasha?"

"The white-haired girl you kidnapped last time. She's proficient in written languages, digital Magic programming languages, and more."

Tesha invaded the defense system of "Trial Machine" with Elena on the scene, but she doesn't remember now.

"Oh..." Elena felt awkward when she heard about the kidnapping, considering she had once kidnapped that girl herself.

"It seems like I'll have to be more violent, but evading the alarm will take some time."

"How long? Can it be done before sunset?"

"We still have more than ten hours until sunset, I'm not that useless."

Li Liu caressed the map, carved with pieces of coral. "Coral" represented selectable locations. First, she had to find and select the location of Pang Island in order to begin the invasion with the Illusion Eyes. Once the infiltration was successful, the "Mapped Illusion Eyes" could instantly expand to cover every detail captured by the monitoring Magic, allowing Li Liu to see everything with a hundred percent coverage. If the target couldn't be found in the end, she could still use the monitoring Magic and expand it to the entire country of Lan Han. This way, she could complete a national search faster than any other girl and move on to other places if the person she was looking for wasn't there.

"I have this feeling that something will go wrong if everything goes too smoothly."

"Don't jinx it, Elena."

On the other side of Pang Island, Li Yehe and Jiang Mengna didn't have much time to answer the previous building. I sat on the balcony, the armrest of my wheelchair projecting Li Yehe's morning news.

"Situ Liyao, Elena, Li Liu...so many people came to this place. Are they here to find me?" I lazily leaned against the wheelchair. Nofice was still lying in the room. If I wanted to leave this place and safely extract the dragon tooth, I had to find a way to inform Li Liu. Compared to Elena, who was still an enemy, Situ Liyao wouldn't want to see me now, and I didn't know if I should attend her brother's funeral.

"Huh? Situ... Yifei." Suddenly, I saw Situ Liyao get into a car, and the girl beside her looked very familiar. Curiosity made me take a second look. It turned out to be Situ Yifei, who I hadn't seen in a long time since our last meeting. As a human being, she shouldn't want to see me, and it might make me more dangerous.

"So, my roommate left early this morning because she came back." The man from the next balcony appeared shirtless again, looking like he had worked hard last night.

"Even women are fascinated by her. Why don't you feel the same, old man?"

The man next door took a sip of water and nonchalantly said, "I used to be infatuated too, but I'm different from those fans."

"It must have been love."

The man's cup froze in front of his mouth as he glanced at me.

"A man is still a man and understands."

"Your expression is so obvious, old man. So, did you give up pursuing her because your attempts were unsuccessful?" I was referring to his numerous and varied partners.

"Let's not talk about long gone affairs. Your benefactor is coming back, go and welcome her quickly."

At this moment, I heard the sound of the door opening. Whether the troublesome person the old man mentioned was just his one-sided words or an actual situation, it all depended on what Li Yehe would do when he came in. But as long as he didn't bother me, I didn't really care.
