”master...where are you?” su xue asked.

”i’m chasing the drone,” lin feng responded. ”it’s leading me to their base. though it’s been quite a nuisance as they kept firing their measly weapons at me.”

”well forget about the master, your associates you left in manila have been exterminated by blackwatch forces.”

”i know that, but i couldn’t care less. they are doing that to simply draw my attention away from the drone that is probably headed to their main base. i’m this close to obliterating the hindrance to our goal.”

”master, i think they are leading you away from their base, not to it,” su xue said, giving another view of perspective. ”if you keep chasing that drone, you’ll end up far away from their base.”

lin feng paused for a moment, considering su xue’s words. he had been relentlessly pursuing the drone, convinced it was leading him to the blackwatch base. yet, her suggestion nagged at the back of his mind, seeding doubt about his current course of action.

he glanced upwards, his eyes locking onto the small, agile form of the reaper drone as it darted through the sky. lin feng’s frustration was mounting; the drone was agile, constantly out of reach, and his chase had turned into a tiring cat-and-mouse game.

with a deep breath, he weighed the situation. he was aware that blackwatch could be employing tactics to mislead him, and su xue’s insight offered a plausible alternative to his assumption. the notion that he was being deliberately led astray became increasingly convincing.

finally, lin feng’s patience wore thin. he decided to take decisive action, no longer willing to play into what he now suspected was a diversion. he stopped in his tracks, his body tensed as he focused his energy.

in a swift motion, lin feng extended his arm, his index finger and thumb forming the shape of a gun. he concentrated, channeling his biomass energy into his makeshift weapon. the air around his finger began to shimmer with a visible distortion as he gathered his power.

then lin feng released a concentrated beam of biomass energy from his fingertip. the beam was small but immensely powerful, cutting through the air with incredible speed akin to a railgun.

the reaper drone, seemingly unaware of the impending attack, continued its flight path. however, lin feng’s biomass beam was unerring. it pierced the drone, creating a small but destructive explosion.

the drone, now critically damaged, began to falter in its flight, its control systems failing. it spiraled downwards, leaving a trail of smoke as it descended towards the ground.

lin feng watched as the drone crashed. ”i hope you are right on this, su xue.”

”blackwatch loves to use diversion tactics,” su xue reminded. ”this was probably just a decoy to keep you busy while they regroup or plan something else. we need to be cautious and think several steps ahead.”

five minutes later.

the delta forces gathered in the middle of the intersection, waiting for their extraction. they were having their laughs until they broke the silence.

”contact right,” said the specter bravo leader.

all delta force specters rose to their feet and aimed their hk416 assault rifle.

”don’t move!” one of them shouted.

”bravo specter leader to specter-1, there is an unknown walking towards our position. unknown appears to be female, about sixteen or eighteen years old, wearing a school uniform.”

hearing that report, graves tensed. ”what? that’s a red flag boys. it may be lin feng’s associates. all stations, shoot down the unknown! i’m coming there immediately.”

before the delta forces could pull the trigger, whisper spoke.

”silence now, don’t move.”

in an instant, the delta forces found themselves in an eerie silence. their fingers were on the triggers, but their arms froze in place, unable to complete the action. they tried to communicate, shouting and gesturing, but no sound came out. it was as if their voices were trapped within them.

confusion and panic spread among the soldiers. they struggled against the invisible force that seemed to control their actions.

whisper’s control over them was absolute. with a slight tilt of her head, she compelled them to aim their rifles at themselves. the soldiers’ hands, guided by an unseen force, moved the barrels of their hk416s under their chins.

whisper waited for the right moment to give out a command, and when she saw that they were all aiming to their chins. she spoke.

”fi—flugh...”

graves arrived on time, firing a plasma cannon that crashed near whisper, breaking off the curse that controlled the delta forces.

”sir!”

”all of you, call blackwatch and say that there’ll be a change in the location of extraction, i’ll handle this,” graves said coolly.
