Me? I was transported into a book? And I became a vicious villain?

Chapter 54: Waves Rise Again, Undercurrent Surges

The light of dawn penetrated the mist, covering the city with a layer of golden gauze. The streets were devastated after a night of fierce fighting, but they could not hide the hope of new life.

Chu Mengmeng woke up from the nightmare, with cold sweat still on her forehead. Xiao Yichen gently embraced her in his arms, and his deep voice was like a soothing melody, "It's okay, it's just a dream."

She took a deep breath and tried to calm her heaving chest. The dream was too real, and the feeling of powerlessness and fear seemed to still linger in her heart, unable to be shaken off.

"I know, but..." Chu Mengmeng raised her head with a firm gaze, "Are we really safe? Will that mysterious organization really give up?"

Xiao Yichen was silent for a moment. He knew that Chu Mengmeng's worries were not groundless. The mysterious organization was deeply rooted and could not be completely eradicated overnight.

"We will be fully prepared and will not give them the chance to harm this city and everything we cherish." Xiao Yichen said in a firm tone, with an unquestionable light in his eyes.

At the same time, on the other side of the city, Murong Xue was staring at the computer screen intently. As a former member of a mysterious organization, she knew the horror of this organization. After leaving the organization, she used her intelligence network to closely monitor their movements, hoping to provide help to Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen.

"Found it!" Murong Xue suddenly exclaimed. A top-secret document was displayed on the screen with the words "Shadow Messenger" written on it.

"The Shadow Messenger is the organization's latest super soldier, whose strength far exceeds any previous opponents..." Murong Xue's heart sank suddenly, and an ominous premonition came to her mind.

Without time to think, she immediately called Chu Mengmeng, her hurried voice full of worry, "Mengmeng, be careful! The mysterious organization has sent a new enemy - the Shadow Messenger! He is very powerful, you must be prepared!"

On the other end of the phone, Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen's faces became solemn at the same time. They knew that a new storm was coming... Murong Xue's phone call was like a thunderbolt, setting off a huge wave in the hearts of Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen. Shadow Messenger, this name seemed to carry a chill from the abyss, making them realize that the previous victory was just the calm before the storm.

"What should we do?" Chu Mengmeng held Xiao Yichen's hand tightly, and a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on her palm. Even in the era of reverse evolution, when technology is highly developed, fear is still a human instinct when facing such an unknown and powerful enemy.

Xiao Yichen took a deep breath and held Chu Mengmeng's hand tighter, his eyes full of determination, "Don't be afraid, we still have time and allies, we will definitely find a way to deal with him."

The news spread quickly, and the appearance of the Shadowbringer was like a huge rock dropped on a calm surface of water, and the whole city was once again shrouded in a tense atmosphere. The citizens were panic-stricken, and there were discussions on the streets and alleys. Fear spread among the crowd.

In order to deal with this unprecedented crisis, Xiao Yichen summoned all his allies, including Su Mubai, Lin Wan'er, and even Murong Xue, who had just changed her position. Everyone gathered in the underground secret room of the Xiao family's old house, which was equipped with the most advanced defense system and communication equipment and was their last fortress.

"According to the information provided by Murong Xue, the Shadow Messenger is a super soldier transformed by a mysterious organization using the latest genetic technology. He has super strength, speed and recovery ability, and..." Su Mubai frowned and projected a document onto the big screen, "He is also equipped with the most advanced weapons and equipment, and can even control some natural elements."

"This is simply an unbeatable opponent!" Lin Wan'er couldn't help but exclaim. Even though she was always calm, she couldn't hide the uneasiness in her heart at this moment.

"We must find his weakness, otherwise..." Xiao Yichen did not say anything else, but everyone understood that if they could not find a way to defeat the enemy, a devastating blow would be waiting for them.

In the next few days, everyone analyzed the Shadowbringer's information day and night, trying to find a flaw in it. Various plans were proposed and rejected one by one, and each plan was full of risks and uncertainties.

"Is there no other way?" Chu Mengmeng looked at the exhausted people in front of her, feeling full of powerlessness.

At this moment, Chu Mengmeng accidentally flipped through the video records of the previous battle. Suddenly, she discovered a detail that was overlooked by everyone...

Chu Mengmeng's slender fingers moved quickly on the keyboard, replaying the battle video over and over again. Suddenly, her eyes froze on the screen, and a barely perceptible strangeness made her heart move. She enlarged the picture, and after repeated confirmation, a hint of joy appeared on her face, but it was soon replaced by a solemn look.

"I seem to... have found his weakness." Chu Mengmeng's voice trembled slightly, breaking the depressing atmosphere in the secret room.

Everyone raised their heads suddenly and looked at her, their eyes full of surprise and expectation.

"What weakness?" Xiao Yichen quickly walked to Chu Mengmeng and asked anxiously.

Chu Mengmeng pointed at the faint light that flashed on the Shadow Messenger's chest on the screen and explained, "You see, every time he uses his superpowers, this faint light will appear on his chest, and it lasts for a very short time, only a few tenths of a second. I suspect that this may be the node of his energy transmission, and it is also the time when his defense is the weakest."

"If we can seize this opportunity and attack his weakness..." Su Mubai's eyes lit up, but he quickly shook his head, "But, a few tenths of a second is too late to react, let alone attack."

"Unless..." Lin Wan'er hesitated and looked at Chu Mengmeng, her eyes full of worry.

Chu Mengmeng took a deep breath and said firmly: "Unless someone can attract his attention and make him continue to use his superpowers to create opportunities for us to attack."

“Mengmeng, you’re crazy!” Lin Wan’er exclaimed, “Do you know what this means? You are going to use yourself as bait to face that monster head-on!”

There was silence in the secret room. Everyone understood what Chu Mengmeng's plan meant. It was almost a gamble of life and death.

Xiao Yichen held Chu Mengmeng's hand tightly, his deep eyes full of struggle and worry, "No, I can't let you take the risk, it's too dangerous."

"But now, only I can do it." Chu Mengmeng held Xiao Yichen's hand with a firm look in her eyes, "Trust me, I'll be fine."

Looking at Chu Mengmeng's determined eyes, Xiao Yichen knew that he could no longer stop her. He took a deep breath, hugged Chu Mengmeng in his arms, and whispered in her ear: "Promise me that you must come back alive."

Chu Mengmeng nodded gently, with tears in the corners of her eyes.

A thrilling battle is about to begin. In order to protect the city and their common beliefs, Chu Mengmeng and her companions resolutely embark on this thorny road.

In the dark underground base, Chu Mengmeng deliberately exposed her whereabouts according to the plan. The Shadow Messenger really took the bait, and he pounced on Chu Mengmeng like a cheetah with fierce murderous intent.

Chu Mengmeng dodged the Shadow Messenger's attacks while looking for his flaws. Time passed by, her physical strength was rapidly depleted, but the Shadow Messenger showed no signs of fatigue.

At this moment, the Shadow Messenger launched another attack, and the powerful energy fluctuations made the entire space tremble. Chu Mengmeng's mind moved, and she seized this opportunity to display her long-trained skills.

"Now!" Xiao Yichen and others who were hiding in the dark saw the signal sent by Chu Mengmeng and launched the attack without hesitation.

One after another, fierce attacks came at the Shadow Messenger like a violent storm. The Shadow Messenger was caught off guard and was hit in the weak spot of his chest. He roared in pain, staggered back, and his eyes were filled with disbelief.

"Success!" Everyone was delighted, but before they could breathe a sigh of relief, the figure of the Shadow Messenger suddenly became blurred and finally disappeared in a black mist.

"Where...where did he go?" Lin Wan'er asked in surprise and doubt.

In the secret room, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. No one knew where the Shadow Messenger had gone, nor whether he would come back.

Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen looked at each other, and saw a hint of solemnity in each other's eyes. They knew that this battle was not over yet, and the real test had just begun...

After the shadow messenger disappeared, a suffocating depression filled the air. Chu Mengmeng covered her aching chest and looked around vigilantly, fearing that the shadow would appear again.

"Mengmeng, are you okay?" Xiao Yichen walked quickly to her side and checked her injuries worriedly.

Chu Mengmeng shook her head, trying to endure the discomfort in her body, and said in a deep voice: "I'm fine, but... where did he go? Did he just run away like that?"

"Impossible." Murong Xue, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up, her eyebrows furrowed tightly, her tone solemn, "The Shadow Messenger's ability is strange and unpredictable, and he will never give up easily. His sudden disappearance this time may be a bigger conspiracy."

Murong Xue's words made everyone feel a chill in their hearts. They realized that this battle was far from over, and it might even be just the calm before the storm.

"So what should we do now?" Lin Wan'er asked anxiously, "We can't just sit there and wait for death, right?"

"We need to find his whereabouts as soon as possible and figure out his purpose." Xiao Yichen analyzed calmly, "Su Mubai, you must contact the police immediately, block all exits from the city, and strengthen city patrols. Don't let him have a chance to escape."

"Understood!" Su Mubai took the order and quickly contacted all parties to launch a carpet search.

"Mengmeng, you should have a good rest and get enough energy." Xiao Yichen gently supported Chu Mengmeng, his eyes full of heartache, "Leave the rest to us."

Chu Mengmeng knew that her current condition was not suitable for participating in the battle, so she nodded and followed Lin Wan'er obediently to rest.

At this moment, a deep voice suddenly sounded at the door of the secret room: "No need to bother, I'm already here."

Everyone was startled and looked towards the door, only to see a man in a black cloak with his face hidden in the shadows slowly walking in.

"Who are you?" Xiao Yichen asked vigilantly.

"I'm here to help you." The man in black robe said calmly, "I know the purpose of the Shadowbringer, and I also know how to defeat him."

"Why do you want to help us?" Chu Mengmeng asked. She always felt that there was a mysterious aura about the person in front of her that made her unable to figure it out.

"Because I am also his enemy." The man in black robe slowly took off his hood, revealing an angular face, and his deep eyes flashed with complex light.

"You are...?" Chu Mengmeng covered her mouth in surprise. She never expected that the mysterious black-robed man in front of her was actually...

The man in black robe smiled slightly, and said meaningfully: "Long time no see, Miss Chu, Mr. Xiao."
