There's definitely something wrong with this murder mystery game

The secretary, looking somewhat conflicted, stepped forward and said, "Director, people from other families are now causing a scene inside the venue too. A substantial number of people from the major families are trapped at the press conference. Do you think we should...?"

However, Long Xunyin did not look aside, completely ignoring him.

As if impatient for something, she walked briskly; her ivory long coat slightly lifting at the hem with the rapid 'tap tap tap' of her footsteps echoing through the space.

"Director... after all, we can't afford to be enemies with the other six major groups at the same time."

Clenching his teeth, the secretary continued, "Moreover, the Morales Family's young mistress is present. If they really get anxious and attack as a group, this building might not hold. We need to stabilize them first!"

"Tap—"

The footsteps abruptly stopped.

Long Xunyin turned to look at him, giving a cold glare filled with anger, then turned and quickened her pace.

But this glance was enough of a signal for the secretary, who quickly relayed messages to the other managers to intervene and placate the guests.

Whatever excuse needed to be used, just placate them for now.

After all, opening the doors was out of the question.

Just from Long Xunyin's current demeanor, the long-serving secretary could already see the signs—

This operation was carried out behind the entire Long Group's management. She had seized control of their power, even the entire Technology Building. She was probably up to something unimaginable and irreversible.

Even if it involved people from several other consortia.

At the end of the circular corridor, there was a small space enclosed by an Energy Shield, the only isolated place here.

Blue energy cascaded up and down like a waterfall, concealing the inside situation, allowing only a vague glimpse of the mechanical devices and system panels.

The secretary did not follow any further.

Long Xunyin entered. In this compartment, there was a sealed semi-elliptical maintenance pod, the rest filled with electronic screens.

On one of the screens, there was the virtual image of a girl with an indignant expression.

Upon seeing Long Xunyin enter, the girl's face darkened, and she stared at her in silence.

"Don't worry, Gamma, I won't do anything to you. How could I dare to hurt you?" Long Xunyin said with a gentle smile.

"What exactly do you want to do?" Wei Ya asked, her voice thick with undisguised anger.

Long Xunyin did not respond to her, but walked over, raised her hand, and directly passed through Wei Ya's virtual image, pulling out a virtual screen from her mind, on which brainwaves flickered.

Wei Ya was startled and subconsciously touched the back of her head, but she felt nothing amiss.

On the screen next to her, aside from the active fluctuations of her consciousness, there was also a twinkling dot.

Long Xunyin stared at the light dot with a bizarre smile.

Smiling in a way that made Wei Ya feel creeped out.

This place was really too strange!

She had entered from the equipment at the press conference, and upon exploring this level, she found that the entire floor was filled with dense and chaotic data, with very sturdy defenses!

Wei Ya spent some time to bore a hole and sneak in, only to find herself captured by this weird place as soon as she arrived!

No matter what methods she used, even if she withdrew her powers and stopped the spiritual power detection, she couldn't leave. Her consciousness couldn't return!

Moreover, all means of communication with the outside world had been blocked!

Wei Ya felt like a sparrow pecking along a wheat pit, step by step into a trap, where the patient hunter finally pulled the string.

The other party not only knew she was a New Human but was also well aware of who she was in the New An Bureau, clear about her abilities.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to set this trap!

Wei Ya's eyes flickered slightly, and she said calmly, "You've trapped me here without doing anything, you intend to use me as a hostage to threaten someone, right?"

Hearing this, Long Xunyin finally directed her gaze back to her, sizing her up with a very critical look.

Wei Ya felt utterly uncomfortable under that gaze.

The other party harbored strong malice, but it didn't seem to be because she was a New Human or from the New An Bureau. It was a different kind of malice that was somewhat inexplicable.

Simply put, Wei Ya felt like she was the other woman.

Long Xunyin's gaze was just too blatant!

Could it be she fancied Leon Bray?

So she captured her to threaten Leon and then enact the melodramatic scenario of "it's either her or me"...

Wei Ya ridiculed internally until Long Xunyin sourly said, "Compared to that disgusting and annoying woman, you look much more pleasant. You're flat-chested and flat-bottomed, and you're nothing special in looks."

Wei Ya: "..." You can criticize, but why attack someone's appearance?

However, Wei Ya could assure that Leon Bray was absolutely loyal to Angel Derek because the latter was his first love.

So why the 120-year-old Long Xunyin would be involved with Leon was one thing, but Wei Ya had found no evidence of any other affair Leon had. Thus, her capture likely had nothing to do with the Bray Family.

Since Long Xunyin had just called her "Gamma," the matter might be more about the New An Bureau.

But still...

Wei Ya racked her brains but couldn't understand who she could possibly be the other woman to in the New An Bureau!

You can't just slander people without proof!

And why look at others with such a gaze? Her mind was definitely not right!

In an attempt to garner more information, Wei Ya shot back mockingly, "So what if my figure isn't good, at least I'm better than a woman who goes crazy because she can't get what she wants. Look at all that resentment energy on your face, is it because he's completely ignoring you now?!"
