A moment earlier.
Just as the bus came to a stop in the bustling district and Zhong Shenxiu and his company got off.
Not far from the All Places Building, inside a room of a hotel with a window facing directly towards the building's entrance.
A curtain was lifted.
"Another team has completed their mission and returned, huh."
"Everyday recording, such tedious surveillance... It never ends, sigh... It seems they've changed some people, a lot have died..."
A slim man in black put down his binoculars and sighed.
"We are working for the sake of all mankind."
Another middle-aged man scolded.
"Watching them struggle so painfully is truly heartbreaking. Can't we help them?" a young employee asked, puzzled.
"We can't, this is to prevent an even greater catastrophe! What we need is stability, maintenance... to let things unfold within our control. Don't do anything unnecessary! Do not interfere with 'it'!"
The middle-aged man declared firmly.
