The gates groaned shut behind us, and the echo of their clang felt like the sealing of fate. We passed beneath the burning chandelier in the entry hall. Its arms stretched like flaming wings, each tipped with a crystal that pulsed faint green. The light swept across us in measured lines, scanning flesh and soul alike. I swallowed as the beams traced my chest. Eren tilted his head toward me. “What is this?” “A scanner,” I answered. My voice trembled. “To gain access to enter the top floors.” “Alright” Uncle Eren answered, with his tone cool, but his eyes were sharp and filled with worry.

If they left, they would be guilty for the rest of his life. The blind woman and the Guardian were at a disadvantage in the face of the three elders. However, the three elders couldn't do anything to them. The blind woman's the Walking Character Secret Skill was invincible in the world, and no one could match her speed except Jason. The Guardian also had practiced the Walking Character Secret Skill, and the weapons left behind on the battlefield could be his help. Moreover, the three elders had fought with Jason before and consumed their energy, so they could barely hold Jason back, which the blind woman and the Guardian were well aware of.

The Friction of the First Lesson Ethan handed Thomas a "Zero-Point" scrambler—a small, "Recycled" device Damian had modified. "This is your 'Emergency-Exit.' It doesn't hide you; it creates 'Data-Noise.' It makes the 'Calculating' sensors think you’re a 'Null State.' But you only use it when the 'Logic-Maze' closes in." The lesson was interrupted by the "Low-Frequency" hum of a "Sovereign" recon unit in the distance—a "Data-Stain" on the clear morning sky. Ethan didn't panic. He watched Thomas.

A moan purred from her lips and she place both of her hands on the floor to support her fragile body. When the snowflake necklace on her chest stops glowing, her body was heaving on the ground. The lights on her body was pulsing like a heart beat. When it stops, she remains kneeling and a groaned escape everyone's lips. They sense a power so stupendously strong, something foreign to them and it brings shivers down their spine. Even Dante who stare at her with cautious.

Even if they dropped an advanced Source Crystals, the chances of it yielding something valuable were quite low. "Is it because we're in the exploration phase? Ah, who cares?" Victor eagerly picked up the war scythe. [Fine Electric War Scythe (Two-Handed)] [Combat Power +50] [Attacks are imbued with electrical energy, doing extra damage] "Nice." Victor immediately discarded his custom-made saber and shield. Compared to the war scythe, the saber and shield might as well be trash. The war scythe was an impressive ten meters long, matching Victor's height. Grasping it in his hands, he felt like a war god holding an immensely powerful weapon. He looked intimidating.

He caught the chains in his bare hands, the Void-energy burning his skin, but he didn't let go. "Scarlett! Use the Navigator!" Caleb yelled, his voice vibrating with the strain of holding back the power of a god. "Rewrite the frequency! If he's an AI, he has a root password!" Scarlett pulled the Stellar Navigator from her bag. It was screaming, the needle spinning so fast it was a blur. She looked at the code flowing through the air—the mix of Taoist runes and binary. She didn't use her brush to fight. She used it to code.

I cautioned. Marcus let out an incredulous huff, throwing his hands up. "You have got to be kidding me! A secret elevator, palm readers, an independent entrance... and now what? Security scanners? What’s next, Aella? Are you going to tell us the scan tells you if we’re carrying a bug?" I didn't turn around, but I couldn't resist the ghost of a smirk. "Well, yes, actually," I said calmly. "And if you have been poisoned, or cursed, or even if you've been recently blessed. It also checks for concealed weapons and unauthorized recording devices."

"The twins are already under stress. The purge nearly killed you." "The purge woke me up, Victor! Get out of my way." The infirmary was quiet later that afternoon, but the tension was a physical weight. Zack had a scanner in his hand, a sleek piece of black tech he’d swiped from the rogue general’s belongings. "Sit still, El," Zack muttered. He ran the device over her forearm, then her neck. A sharp, high-pitched beep echoed through the room. "What?" Victor was on his feet instantly. Zack’s face went pale. He didn't answer. He adjusted the frequency and ran the scanner back over the nape of Elodie’s neck, right where the spine met the skull. The beep turned into a steady, flat tone.

A mechanical cylinder, almost the size of a surgical tray and glowing with a faint, eerie blue ultraviolet light, dropped through a rusted iron street grate above. It suspended itself in mid-air and began to rotate slowly. A scanning beam of blue light swept across the concrete walls of the tunnel, searching for the infrared signature of living flesh. Kael pulled me hard against his chest, wrapping his frame around mine to shield me from the line of sight. I pressed my face into the rough leather of his jacket, shutting my eyes tightly and holding what little breath I had left in my lungs. The scanner hummed, electronic whine that seemed to vibrate directly inside my teeth as the blue light
