According to the original plan, after the ninja group wreaked havoc, they would imdiately retreat once the police and the Constitutional Soldier Team were drawn in. They would break through the encirclent and scatter, with several rendezvous points already arranged. The plan was within everyone's expectations, whether it was the soldiers or the police, because they were concerned about the special identity of the ninjas and dared not use lethal force directly. Just as they were about to break through the Constitutional Soldier Team's blockade, a large crowd of people, unaware of the truth, surged forward, shouting things like "enemy disguise," and both the Constitutional Soldier Team and the police started getting desperate.
The leader of this ninja squad sensed that the situation was spiraling out of control. The only visible eyes exposed outside were radiating with a chill, and he started to attack rcilessly. Seeing this, the other ninjas also began to fight fiercely, leading the situation to beco even more chaotic.
The blood did not scare off the police or the soldiers, nor did it deter the ignorant crowd. At this mont, everyone regarded the ninjas as enemies, and united under a common hatred, they rushed forward in anger. Seeing the masses intensely riled up after cutting down a soldier, understanding that the situation had turned unfavorable, the ninjas let out a low roar and quickly retreated into the Ghost Group.
"Seize the weapons, block the attack," the Ninja Leader coldly commanded.
The others nodded in understanding and swiftly took action. A few guarded the gate while others rushed into the guard room. The guards had already been taken down, and after finding so guns, they ca out and started shooting at the soldiers attempting to storm into the Ghost Group.
The sudden sound of gunfire frightened the soldiers and police into retreat, and the clueless citizens scread and dispersed in fear. Among the crowd, Ghost Hand watched this scene, the corner of his mouth curving into a cold smile. He gestured for everyone to scatter and retreat; the situation had reached a point where it was beyond anyone's control.
Both the soldiers and police were enraged, organizing their forces for an attack. At this mont, two ard helicopters roared in, hovering over the Ghost Group. The Ninja Leader ordered his subordinates to hold off the attack, glanced at the helicopter above, and realized this ti, there was no escape. His eyes glead with an even sharper chill as he shouted loudly, "Listen to , everyone."
While retaliating, everyone perked up their ears. The leader continued, "Our great cause has just begun. We must not allow any mistakes now. Outsiders are calling us enemies, mistaking us for being dispatched by other countries. This is a perfect excuse to disguise our identity. If we die, no one will know our true identity; they will think of us as invading enemies from other countries, thus not affecting our great mission. Are you afraid?"
"Not afraid!" everyone stood up and shouted, fighting fearlessly against the charging soldiers outside.
The leader glanced toward the gate, where already four had been killed by the soldiers, lying lifeless in pools of blood. Others continued to fight in their own ways. He looked up at the ard helicopter hovering in the sky, noticing a rope being lowered, clearly indicating an airborne troop landing.
"You pushed to this," the leader muttered as his icy eyes were soon replaced by fury. Suddenly, he shouted loudly, "Since we are considered enemies, we should act like enemies. Everyone, start a fire, burn this place. A few of you, co with to destroy the shrine, act more like invading enemies, all for Kaga, fight to the end."
"All for Kaga, fight to the end," everyone lowly chanted and began taking action.
Among the crowd outside, Ghost Hand watched the Ghost Group rise in thick smoke, overjoyed, and couldn't help but clench his fist. The others, seeing this scene, were also thrilled. They had all contributed to the burning of the Ghost Group and were very excited.
Niu Gang squeezed next to Ghost Hand and whispered, "What now?"
"Just watch the show, a once-in-a-century spectacle," Ghost Hand said excitedly. "Let's go, find a place to hide, avoid being spotted by surveillance." With that, he headed towards a nearby building. With such chaos, the relevant departnts of Japan would surely investigate the surrounding people to find suspicious characters, and after watching enough of the excitent, Ghost Hand didn't want to be noticed.
Everyone understood and dispersed, finding places to hide, avoiding surveillance and satellite coverage, continuing to watch the spectacle from the crowd. Outside, the attacking soldiers and police were stunned to see the Ghost Group on fire, only attacking more fiercely. If the situation beca out of control, all the police and soldiers present would bear unavoidable responsibility. At this mont, everyone hated the ninjas inside deeply.
At this point, the ard helicopters hovering above lowered so soldiers who began tossing tear gas and smoke bombs towards the Ghost Group, but these couldn't stop the fire from spreading. Ghost Hand saw the soldiers descending and knew the situation was drawing to a close. Signaling to his nearby comrades, everyone slowly retreated and withdrew.
At this ti, Luo Zheng and others arrived at a valley, the tourist bus stopped, and everyone got off. The bus continued forward to avoid revealing their drop-off location. Everyone carried the dead and supported the wounded, walking into the valley. Shrouded in the night, the valley was dim under the moonlight, but it was barely enough to see their way.
Along the way, Luo Zheng noticed the valley was overgrown with weeds, with nothing notable in sight and no pathway on the ground. The group was silent, the joy of victory from the battle overshadowed by the loss of comrades. A sense of sorrow quietly enveloped the team. Yuanfei Zuo remained silent all along, occasionally glancing at his fallen subordinates with a heavy heart.
Luo Zheng intended to ask Yuanfei which direction to go, but seeing this scene, swallowed his words, following the main group slowly forward. After about half an hour, they arrived at a farm, with an ancient building appearing ahead looking like a hall. Luo Zheng paused and looked towards Lan Xue.
Lan Xue nodded, indicating Luo Zheng to be patient, and the two exchanged a knowing smile, continuing to follow the group. After about ten minutes, they reached the front of the hall, a large architecture from the Ming and Qing Dynasty. The building featured wooden frawork, fine bricks, and glazed roofing tiles, showcasing all three major construction techniques. Ornately carved beams and columns, flying eaves, and roof guardians. Just as Luo Zheng marveled at it, the building's interior suddenly lit up, as many people poured out, including n, won, children, and many dressed as ninjas.
These people ca forward to assist, escorting the casualties swiftly into the complex. Yuanfei Zuo did not enter imdiately, standing in the courtyard looking back down the path they ca. Xinzi accompanied him, while Luo Zheng and Lan Xue waited patiently beside them, noticing Yuanfei Zuo's grave expression, lost in thought, without interruption.
After a while, Yuanfei Zuo looked gravely at Luo Zheng. At this mont, in the light, Luo Zheng saw Yuanfei Zuo's eyes red, startled, as Yuanfei Zuo solemnly said, "Those responsible for attacking the Ghost Group successfully attracted the opponent's attention but all perished. What should we do next? I'd like to hear your opinion."
