Like a stone thrown by a giant, plunging straight into the stormy night sky!
However, a bizarre scene unfolded.
Among them, a figure—the middle-aged man in a tattered suit—strangely halted in mid-air after falling a dozen ters.
Rain swirled around him, yet was repelled by an invisible aura, making him float in the storm as if overlooking the mortal realm like a deity.
The other figure—the muscular man wearing a white Evil Ghost Mask, stark naked—did not possess such ability.
His descent was rapid, but in an instant, he extended his hands, fingers like hooks, and forcibly dug into the glass curtain wall of the building.
In the piercing screech, his fingertips plowed deep grooves into the sturdy tal fra, and the great montum made the curtain wall structure emit a teeth-grating groan.
Sparks flashed and vanished in the rainy night, and at last, he halted his fall, hanging like a giant gecko on the building’s outer wall.
Before he could stabilize himself, the man suspended in mid-air moved.
He simply lifted his hand lightly.
Countless shattered glass pieces shattered around, as if they heard a command, instantly transforming into a deadly storm.
Covering the sky and earth, sweeping towards the masked man on the wall.
Gao Jin’s heart tightened.
The man wearing the white Evil Ghost Mask, could he be White Owl?
Why was he fighting with another person?
What about Cheng Jiashu?
"Zzz...zzz..."
As questions flooded his mind, a sudden burst of static crackled through his earpiece.
The long-silent communication signal was finally restored!
"Hello, hello, calling Eagle’s Nest, this is Night Owl Two, do you copy? Please respond!"
It was Zhou Liang!
Gao Jin’s eyes sharpened as he swiftly pulled his focus away from the battle high above, responding in a solemn voice:
"Eagle’s Nest copies, report the situation."
"Captain Gao, the mission is complete!"
Zhou Liang’s voice was filled with post-crisis excitent:
"The main target data is secured, the associated hostages have been rescued, all our personnel are intact. We are proceeding down the B2 passage, preparing to regroup and stand by at the parking lot. Please advise."
"Well done!"
This news allowed Gao Jin’s tense nerves to finally relax, equally overjoyed.
Recalling the previously bizarre situation, he imdiately added:
"Briefly report the previous situation."
"Yes, the situation was very complicated."
Zhou Liang’s voice imdiately turned serious:
"When we were preparing to evacuate inside the building, we were shrouded in a gray fog. All communications and electronic equipnt failed."
"Not only did we lose direction, but we were also attacked by unknown creatures. That place... it’s like another world, which Ah Yang calls the Inner World."
"Inner World?"
"Yes! Later we encountered White Owl. Fortunately, he was there..."
"Did you et up with Cheng Jiashu?"
Gao Jin was slightly surprised to hear that.
"No, it wasn’t him."
Zhou Liang’s voice beca sowhat peculiar:
"It was another ’White Owl’. Cheng Jiashu said he was his cousin.
"Captain, had you seen it, that one was simply a human-shaped T-Rex! Noah Organization’s boss wasn’t a pushover either; the two of them blasted that ghostly place to pieces!"
"I must say, this guy looks more like the legendary ’White Owl’. Compared to him, Cheng Jiashu seems like a gentle scholar..."
Zhou Liang’s voice was filled with enthusiasm, as if he wanted to deliver a long monologue.
Yet Gao Jin was confused, two White Owls?
He had no ti to ask more detailed questions and promptly interrupted:
"Where’s Cheng Jiashu now?"
"He said he had personal business to attend to and left after bringing us to a safe location."
"Stay in position, ensure personnel and data safety, I’ll co to support you."
Gao Jin made a decisive command.
Communication was cut off.
He cast one last glance at the two figures still intensely entangled high in the air.
Eyes slightly narrowed, ultimately choosing not to intervene.
Securing the mission results at hand was the top priority.
..................
On the street, the commotion had long erupted.
Large shards of glass mixed with rain smashed to the ground, making crisp "crashing" sounds.
The onlookers kept their distance, gazing up at the building’s pinnacle, gesturing and discussing.
In the curtain of rain, their sight was obstructed.
They could only vaguely see two tiny black dots, set against the backdrop of the high-rise,
The piercing sirens drew nearer; several police cars roared up, swiftly extending a cordon below the Noah Building.
Amid the chaotic crowd, Xiao Shuai stood in a raincoat, just outside the cordon.
He paid no mind to the surrounding clamor, only lifted his head, his gaze piercing through layers of rain, staring at the two faintly visible figures in the sky.
Raindrops slid down his wet hair from his forehead, but he was oblivious, only silently praying in his heart.
