The scene shifts back to a building not far from the TV station.

The once grand and majestic TV station is now in ruins, with the bottom two floors completely destroyed. Broken glass shards cover the ground, while various-sized rubble is scattered around, and flames rage uncontrollably, emitting black smoke that pollutes the air.

"What a spectacular sight."

"Yes, as the finale of the show, it couldn't be better."

The mastermind behind the explosion leisurely observes the devastating scene before them.

"Quite ruthless of you to plan this out."

The young girl diverts her gaze.

"It's nothing. I had it all arranged beforehand."

"So you set this up as a last resort in case they fail and get caught by the police. If they try to arrest the culprits, the police will naturally be inside."

"Exactly."

"By doing this, not only can you eliminate any loose ends and severely damage the police, but most importantly, the blame for this incident will likely fall on the Supreme Emperor, a perfect three-pronged attack."

"You flatter me too much."

"You've lost it, I wasn't praising you."

The girl retorts angrily.

Meanwhile, the man in black gazes into the distance once more.

"Well, the time is almost up."

As soon as the man speaks...

"Boom!"

As if unable to bear its own weight any longer, at a certain moment, the building that was barely holding on starts to tilt in a particular direction. With the balance broken, the entire building collapses in one swift motion.

In a chain reaction, it hits the adjacent building, causing it to collapse as well...

It was supposed to happen like that, but...

Strangely, just before the collapsing building hits the neighboring one, it stops abruptly at an unimaginable angle, frozen in mid-air as if time had paused.

Seeing this unbelievable sight, the man in black clicks his tongue in frustration.

"Tsk, did I just miss it?"

Then, at that moment when time seemed to stand still, it resumes.

What happens next is even more surprising.

Instead of moving forward, it defies common sense and moves backward, as if time were flowing in reverse.

Overcoming gravity, the collapsed building starts to move back to its original position.

"Boom!"

With a loud noise, the building returns to its initial state. Though it still looks dilapidated, there is no trace of it collapsing, indicating that it's not a reversal in time since the building should be in perfect condition if that were the case.

However, even after ruling out time reversal, the building shows no signs of collapsing, defying gravity and standing firm like a rock in the distance. Despite the severe damage to its foundation and the disrupted balance, it's impossible for this extraordinary event to occur under normal circumstances, a situation that...

Seems as if there were invisible hands supporting the tilting building.

Witnessing this transcendent scene, the young girl with two golden buns on her head seems to discern a hidden truth, narrowing her eyes slightly and murmuring softly.

"Is that... a thread?"
