The trap

- A new building has opened in the center. They say there is a trampoline park there. It is interesting. I'll take them there. After that, you can look for a restaurant. Your father called me yesterday and asked me to take a walk with you.Nan Cheng said.

- great! Mom is the best.- the children said in unison.

- Keep studying, I'm going to go grocery shopping.Nan Cheng said with a smile on her face.

Lan Shenglin moved closer to the corner of the room and began to train, a few months ago he bought weights for his legs and arms, each of them weighed 5 kilograms. It was very difficult to train in them, but Lan Shenglin did it anyway.

In the middle of the room, Nana was looking at Lan Xuanyu. Nana thought about it and said. - I'll teach you a technique.… I don't remember the name very well… Isn't this martial technique called... the Golden Dragon shaking the heavens?

- Don't you remember? Lan Xuanyu was a little curious.

Nana nodded and smiled bitterly.

- I don't remember much, but it should be called that. Let's go to the cultivation room

- The peculiarity of the Golden Dragon Shaking the Heavens technique is that it stimulates the energy of your blood, complemented by spiritual power and the power of the bloodline. It's like instantly activating all the powers of your body. With your current strength, you're still a long way from using the full version of the technique. I will teach you it, but due to the lack of spiritual power, you will only use a weakened version of it.

- Teacher Nana, teach me quickly! Lan Xuanyu was very interested in this ancient martial technique just after hearing its name.

- Later, try to remember the changes in your body. Nana squatted behind Lan Xuanyu and placed her right hand on his back, a gentle spiritual force slowly entered his body.

- This technique will make your blood flow in the opposite direction. Nana's voice rang out. Immediately after, Lan Xuanyu felt that he was sinking into a spiritual space. A human body appeared in his mind, just like his own.

He could clearly see the changes in this person's blood flow. It was at this moment that he suddenly felt warmth rising in his body and the blood that had been slowly flowing just now suddenly changed.

A piercing pain spread throughout his body and there was also some kind of suffocating feeling, it was a pain that was difficult for him to describe. However, his mind was awake and he could see how the blood in this body began to flow in the opposite direction.

The pain instantly intensified. Lan Xuanyu wanted to scream, but he couldn't make a sound, his body began to twitch. It was at this moment that he suddenly felt his body heating up, as if it was on fire.

He unconsciously raised his right hand. The backflow of blood caused a special force. His blood was flowing in the opposite direction, but the warmth he felt flowed into his right arm.

Just at that very moment, everything in front of him became crystal clear. Lan Xuanyu was surprised to see a blue-silver river grass with golden veins wrapped around his right arm. But even scarier was the fact that his right arm seemed swollen. It became larger than usual and the golden-veined river grass seemed to have taken root in his skin and covered it with diamond-shaped golden scales.

"A golden Dragon shaking the heavens! Nana's voice rang out from behind him, and Lan Xuanyu felt an invisible force controlling the heat in his body and directing it to his right hand.

Lag Shengling stopped his training and looked at Lan Xuanyu and Nana with interest.

Lan Xuanyu's body began to emit a faint golden light, and a soft roar was heard from his right hand. The air around them became more solemn. A golden light burst out of his palm and seemed to take the shape of a dragon's head.

- Bang! The Golden Sky-Shaking Dragon struck a target a meter away before letting out a deep roar.

The entire cultivation room seemed to shake slightly. After the attack, Lan Xuanyu felt that his body was completely devastated. His body became wadded up and his blood flow returned to normal.

Gentle spiritual power flowed through the clothes, allowing them to make up for the loss.

- Do you feel it? The backflow of blood will stimulate the power of your bloodline. After combining with your spiritual power, it will trigger an attack with a power that exceeds the usual one. This is a Golden Dragon Shaking The Heavens! It is an attacking technique, but at the same time it is also a cultivation method, since when using it you can stimulate the energy in the blood vessels and nourish the body to strengthen the meridians. After careful consideration, I think this is the best tempering method for you.

Lan Shengling was surprised that his brother was able to use such a strong technique. But, he was happy for him. He also felt like he could use a similar technique himself.

After seeing the power of the Golden Dragon Shaking the Heavens, Lan Xuanyu was full of enthusiasm, he felt that thanks to this technique, he would be able to match his brother.

Although Shengling and Xuanyu were very close, but there was still a rivalry between them, neither of them wanted to lag behind the other. This rivalry also served as an incentive for them to become stronger.

Lan Shengling continued his training again, he was covered in sweat, even his clothes became wet, as if he had been doused with water. To the naked eye, it could be seen that his skin was reddened.

He could feel his blood becoming more violent with each new movement. His physique perfectly suited this martial art, as if it was created especially for him.

Time flew by for Lan Shenglin.

---------

Early the next morning, Lan Shenglin was not surprised that his body did not feel any pain or fatigue from yesterday's training.

Lan Shenglin not only had divine physical strength, but also monstrous stamina and recovery speed.

He also noticed that if he is completely exhausted, then two to three hours of sleep or meditation will be enough for him to fully recover.

At the same time, Lan Xuanyu felt a little pain all over his body, but he also felt a warmth that made him feel comfortable.

He had been practicing the Golden Dragon Heaven-Shaking technique all day yesterday, so Nana forbade him to meditate at night and allowed him to relax and rest.

Xuanyu and Shengling got up and went to the bathroom, they had breakfast and, together with Nan Cheng, went to the trampoline park. Nana decided not to go with them, but it was clear that she did not want to move away from Lan Xuanyu.

Sitting in the car, Nan Cheng turned on the TV and played Tang Le's concert.

Although Tang Le had only debuted a few months ago, he was already famous throughout the Federation. His song "Remembrance" alone made a deep impression on the masses.

The strange thing was that Noble Le only sang this song. But he had a special charm that works on women from 8 to 80 years old. Almost every time his single was broadcast, the temperature rose sharply.

His concerts were known as the shortest and most wonderful in history.

- Mom, why are your eyes so bright? Lan Xuanyu said, Lan Shengling only stared at Nan Cheng.

Nan Cheng shushed him and turned up the volume.

"Her silhouette is blurry, as if she is going through a cycle of reincarnation."

"Her voice is clear, and it sounds ear to ear."

"Her scent of musk and lily haunts me, despite the centuries that have passed."

"Her soft, slender hands are my anchor and harbor."

"Three lives have passed, one mortal, the other secular, we have kept the last one for ourselves"

"Where is she now?"

"Her third world left a mark on my heart. As long as I exist, she will be in it."

"No matter where she is in her first life, no matter if she remembers her second. And it will always be like this."

"My memories are blurred, but my heart is searching. Wherever she is, I will bring her a third life and look for the other two."

"One life, three worlds, when will they meet, one life, three worlds, when will my memory return."

"I hope that the light from heaven will guide me on the right path, whether it is the Kingdom of the Gods, the Abyss, whether it is from Heaven or Earth. I only want her three worlds to meet, so that our lives and worlds merge."

"Take me away, take me away, take me away..."

At the beginning, Noble Le's voice was clear, but gradually became hoarse. His eyes became confused, and after the last sentence they became completely empty.

There wasn't a single memory in the song, but every sentence resonated with his emotions.

Nan Cheng had heard this song countless times, but at that moment, her eyes unknowingly turned red.

Lan Xuanyu also calmed down. It was normal for children his age not to understand the emotions behind this song, but he felt that it was pleasant, and it made his heart tremble.

The flying car stopped to find a place to park and a sign appeared on the windshield showing the way to the mall. It should be said that with the development of technology, people have become more lazy, and life is more convenient.

- Trampoline world! Lan Xuanyu couldn't help but exclaim as he walked inside.

Lan Shengling just smiled.

Looking around, the room was spacious, it was at least over a thousand square meters wide and there were all kinds of trampolines inside. They were lined up one after the other and people could jump back and forth. There were big elastic trampolines and big sponges on which you can jump from a height of four or five meters and dive into it. There is also a pool with the same sponge several meters deep over which a rope was stretched for those who wanted to practice balancing.

Some employees performed bizarre trampoline stunts and jumped very high. The watching children began to cheerfully shout.

Lan Xuanyu wanted to enter, but Lan Shengling grabbed him and said.

- We have to put on trampoline socks before we go in.

These socks had anti-slip rubber dots at the bottom to prevent slipping. Nan Cheng paid the entrance fee and soon they entered the Trampoline World.

Lan Xuanyu and Lan Shengling excitedly ran and started jumping on trampolines.

The trampoline was very elastic, and they were immediately thrown up. Lan Xuanyu slightly lost his balance as he bounced.

Lan Shenglin had a good sense of balance, because of his daily training.

Lan Shenglin flew up four meters, being high in the air, having no support, Shenglin felt as if he was flying. It was a wonderful feeling.

Two brothers did different tricks on trampolines. And they decided who did it better.

Nan Cheng watched them from afar, she was happy to see her children having such carefree fun. They devoted too much time to self-improvement, they only had a short period of time where they just spent time with each other.

Now in the Federation, all shopping malls have their own intelligent control systems, which are used to perform various work in the mall in an orderly manner. Like earlier, when Nan Cheng was parking the car, distributing goods or receiving and more, there were many jobs that no longer required people. The intelligent control system was able to complete most tasks, and the number of errors was minimal.

The trampoline park where Nan Cheng and her children were was located in a newly opened building. It had a total of 128 floors and was known as the Horizon Building. It was one of the tallest buildings in Zi Luo City, and it housed businesses, entertainment venues, and offices.

Buildings like this will have their own think tank to manage the various affairs in the building, including charging various businesses and providing recommendations.

The analytical center is connected to the Central Bank and after a while it automatically transfers the fees to the account at the Central Bank.

Money is now mostly paid electronically. Consequently, each person's communication device was so important that they were directly related to vital signs and only the owner could use it.

The analytical center of the Horizon building is located on the 111th floor. Floors above the 100th were not available for rent. Therefore, there was a special layer that separated the 100th floor and the 101st floor. You need to enter the elevator and go through a set of special security checks to enter.

The elevator doors on the 100th floor opened and a man came out.

He was a man of medium build. He had short bluish-gray hair and was wearing a leather jacket. He was wearing sunglasses and chewing gum. With his hands in his pockets, his shoulders swayed as he exited the elevator.

"I'm here..." he muttered.

A low voice sounded in the headphones.

"-Start."

- We are preparing for an invasion. The man was still smiling mischievously, but as he spoke, he was already looking towards the 101st floor elevator.

The elevator was guarded by people and when they saw that the man stopped on the 100th floor, but did not enter the office, two of the six guards immediately approached him.

They wore small furs that covered their bodies.

These mechs should not be underestimated. This high-tech Federation product can attack and defend, and even if it is worn by an ordinary person, its strength will be equivalent to that of a Spiritual Ancestor (4), and the level of protection is even higher.

- Don't stand here, please leave as soon as possible. The voice of one of the guards, speaking through a microphone in his helmet, rang out.

"What are you guys going to do if I don't want to leave?" The man in the leather jacket shrugged casually.

- Don't cause unnecessary problems. Otherwise, you will be responsible for the consequences.The other guard said sternly.

- Oh. I'm going, I'm going, okay? The man in the leather jacket seemed a little discouraged. He raised both hands, showing that he was harmless. Then he turned around and headed for the service room.

The guards had seen a lot of people like him and didn't pay attention to him. They turned around and walked back to their posts.

At that moment, a smirk appeared on the man's face. A flash of light flashed on his right hand and suddenly a black helmet with a silvery-white crystal on his forehead appeared.

He put on his helmet and pressed the crystal.

- Activation!

An invisible force dispersed from the center of the helmet, especially in the direction of the six guards.

Not far from the horizon building, the roof of the rear carriage of a large vehicle slowly split. A large electronic muffler with a diameter of more than three meters appeared from it.

There were six people in the car, surrounded by an electronic muffler. They simultaneously released the spiritual force from their hands, increasing the power to the maximum.

An invisible wave of interference swept across the 111th floor of the Horizon building.

- Isolation is complete!

Horizon building, 100th floor

All the guards were already on the ground. A man in a leather jacket approached the elevator from the side, he had a mechanical arm. Several threads emerged from it and he quickly drilled through the metal panel of the elevator leading to the upper floors.

- Start the invasion!

-The system is disconnected from the Central Server. You have 15 minutes to get the job done, so back off in 15 minutes.

The man in the leather jacket laughed.

- Don't worry, I can do it in ten minutes.

At the same time, chaos reigned on the 111th floor.

- What happened? Why did the network shut down? Try to use a backup system and connect to the Central Server. Activate all security measures!The boss quickly ordered.

- Contact the police of Zi Luo City. Have them send someone here immediately.

- Boss, the communication devices are not working.One of the employees replied anxiously.

- No, a strong muffler must be working. Quickly, turn off the system, turn off the internal system! The boss said hurriedly.

- Don't turn it off! This is not good. At least a billion will simply disappear. How troublesome! Why not take it with you? A somewhat vile voice rang out in the Analytical Center.

— Bang!

The door opened and a man in a leather jacket with a helmet on his head entered. The door, which was supposed to have three levels of encryption, could do little after the network was shut down.

The more advanced the technology was, the more it depended on other technologies. There was no physical protection system in the entire horizon building and everything was completely controlled by technology..

The boss exclaimed.

- Who are you? How did you get here? This is not possible, even if there is outside interference, the internal system should not be affected. You…

- Why is it impossible? I could log in if someone told me your internal password, right? Okay, stop talking nonsense, you all shut up. As he spoke, the man in the leather jacket pressed the crystal on his helmet.

An invisible wave burst out and all the employees fell to the ground one by one.

- Look, the world is clean now! The man in the leather jacket laughed loudly, but he didn't stop. He walked towards the central part of the Analytical Center without the slightest hesitation.

— Sometimes, the mission is so easy that it's not even interesting. It's really boring! As he spoke, he sauntered into the control room of the Analytical Center, where threads appeared from his metal arm and connected to the control panel

"Buzzing, buzzing, buzzing..." an electric current shot through him, and various data began to appear on the screen.

The man's eyes, hidden behind the helmet, widened, reflecting the data scrolling at high speed.

- I found it! Hehe. He grinned and muttered something under his breath.

- 64 layers of encryption, it's a bit difficult, but I only need three minutes. Oh, why is my brain so wonderful?

The layers of protection were being turned off at high speed and the core of the Analytical Center was slowly opening up in front of human eyes.

- And, the last layer.

- Ding!-The green progress indicator has reached the end and the decryption is complete.

- I'm almost done here. The internal account is open and ready for data transfer. Then we will block the encryption. The man in the leather jacket was talking through a communication device.

However, he was surprised that no one answered on the other end of the line.

- People? What are you doing there? The man sensed that something was wrong and instinctively turned to the screen.

The last layer of encryption was removed, and the main internal account of the horizon building was presented before his eyes. The Horizon building transmits data to the Central Bank every week and today was exactly that day. The weekly income exceeds 1 billion of the federal currency.

- But…

When the man saw the bill, his whole body froze.

-≪One billion? ≫

What he saw was…

Zero! The amount of funds in the account was zero!

- This is bad, we were fooled!

The man in the leather jacket made an immediate decision. After all, he was a veteran and realizing that something was wrong, he turned and ran.

But instead of running to the main entrance, he rushed straight to the glass wall.

At the same time, a layer of silver armor appeared from his skin, quickly covering his body.

His speed increased dramatically, like a flash of light, and crashed into a glass wall at high speed.

- Why the rush? A familiar voice rang out.

An explosion!

The man in the leather jacket felt his body hit a metal plate. The huge shockproof force threw his body backwards. It seemed like all the bones in his body had shattered into pieces, even the fur he was wearing let out a screech.

An unknown figure stood right in the only escape route.

The man in the leather jacket already knew why his voice sounded so familiar, because the one blocking his path was not a stranger, but the very boss who had just anxiously given orders.

The figure was much taller and larger. Chunks of thick and heavy fur covered his entire body. The metallic gray armor emitted a dull luster, making him look like a mountain with two purple and six black spiritual rings rising from under his feet.

-Rank 8 Fighting Spirit, master of three layers of battle armor! The man in the leather jacket blurted out.

"You are known as the Dark Spiritual Master of the Control System, the crime expert, the master of the two—layer battle armor, one of the twelve envoys of Sin City from the Planet of Sin, Zhang Jing. I wasn't wrong, was I? Ye Feng said bluntly.

The employees lying on the ground got up one by one. Standard federal small-sized mechs soon appeared on their bodies and after that, more than ten laser cannons were aimed at Zhang Jing.

Zhang Jing struggled up from the ground. Although protection wasn't his double-layered mech's strong point, it still helped him block most of the damage.

- Who the hell are you? How did you know that our goal is the horizon building? Zhang Jing asked coldly.

Ye Feng replied indifferently

"We've had our eye on you for a very long time. You have committed terrorist attacks and high-tech crimes so many times. This has caused a lot of problems for the Federation and its citizens. You're the first, but definitely not the last. I will destroy the whole City of Sin and cleanse the Planet of Sin. Just let me arrest you without resistance, otherwise I also have the right to kill you on the spot. I advise you not to use the power of the helmet anymore. There is a mental intervention device here that is configured so that it will no longer work.

- You won.Zhang Jing stretched out his arms and took off his helmet.

But when Ye Feng saw his carefree expression, he had a bad feeling for some reason. He was just too calm and didn't look like a prisoner at all.

- First group, is the car under control? Ye Feng immediately contacted his subordinates

- She is already under our control, the silencer has been removed. We will be able to connect to the Central Bank soon. The assistant replied.

Ye Feng then breathed a sigh of relief. They have been preparing for this operation for a very long time.

- Take him downstairs. Ye Feng waved his hand.

Soldiers from the Valiant Dragon Special Forces immediately rushed forward and grabbed Zhang Jing.

They took the communication device from his hands, along with the device for storing information. Then they handcuffed him, which blocked the spiritual force, instantly turning him into an ordinary person.

- Inspect the building and inform the police. Prepare to retreat. Ye Feng ordered sternly.

"Dee... Dee... Dee..." a shrill alarm suddenly sounded, and the lights went out.

And a hundred floors below, all the lights were instantly extinguished. The entire building of the Horizon was completely dark, except for places with natural light.

- They're coming, they're coming! Zhang Jing laughed hysterically.

Ye Feng took a step forward and grabbed him by the neck.

- Who's coming?! What are you trying to do?!

Just at that moment, the military's intercom device rang.

Ye Feng replied without hesitation.

- Hello, Commander E. - A deep voice came from the device.
