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

A hasty knock on the door interrupted the discussion in the Su Mansion's study, and everyone was startled. Su Mubai signaled the housekeeper to open the door, and he calmly placed his hand on the sword at his waist, and a sharp sword energy quietly spread.

The housekeeper opened the door tremblingly, and a blood-covered servant stumbled in, saying in a panic: "Oh no! Master, outside... outside there is a group of men in black, killing anyone they see, we... we can't resist!"

"What?!" Su Mubai's face changed drastically, and he stood up suddenly, "Let's go out and take a look!"

Everyone rushed out of the study, only to see that the inner courtyard of the Su Mansion had fallen into chaos. Dozens of men in black were holding sharp blades and were frantically attacking the guards of the Su Mansion. These men in black moved swiftly and fiercely. Although the guards of the Su Mansion were numerous, they were no match for them at all. A large number of them fell down in a blink of an eye.

"These people are exactly the same as the men in black who attacked us before!" Chu Mengmeng exclaimed.

"It seems that they are coming for us!" Xiao Yichen said in a deep voice, "Mengmeng, you take Miss Lin away first, leave this to us!"

"No, I want to fight with you!" Chu Mengmeng said firmly, "We are now on the same boat. If we want to leave, we leave together. If we want to stay, we stay together!"

"Okay!" A hint of appreciation flashed in Xiao Yichen's eyes. He knew that it was useless to say more at this moment. The only thing he could do was to fight to the death!

Su Mubai drew his sword, the blade flashed with cold light, and the sharp sword energy instantly forced back several black-clothed men who rushed up. "Brother Yichen, Miss Mengmeng, you go first, I'll cover you!"

"Brother Su, I'm afraid you can't resist alone. Why don't the three of us join forces and fight our way out!" As Xiao Yichen said this, he had already drawn his sword to meet several men in black.

"Okay!" Su Mubai no longer refused. The three of them stood back to back, forming a triangle formation, and fought a desperate battle with the man in black.

Although Chu Mengmeng and Lin Wan'er did not know martial arts, they each found cover and used hidden weapons and poisons to attack the enemy, relieving the pressure on Xiao Yichen and Su Mubai.

The battle was extremely fierce, the inner courtyard of the Su Mansion was filled with blood, and the shouts of killing shook the sky. Facing a strong enemy, Chu Mengmeng knew that she could not sit and wait for death, she had to find other helpers as soon as possible!

She suddenly had an idea and said to Lin Wan'er, "Wan'er, please help me take care of Master Su here. I'll be back soon!"

After saying this, without waiting for Lin Wan'er to answer, Chu Mengmeng took advantage of the chaos and quietly slipped out of the Su Mansion.

Chu Mengmeng traveled around the city, and relying on her connections and eloquence, she finally persuaded several family heads who were on good terms with the Su family to lead their troops to come for support.

As the night deepened, the battle in the Su Mansion continued. At this time, Xiao Yichen discovered a shocking secret in the study...

The flashes of swords and the sounds of killing shook the sky, and the inner courtyard of the Su Mansion seemed to have turned into a Shura field. Xiao Yichen and Su Mubai stood back to back, with swords flying everywhere, and they fought their way out of the encirclement of the men in black. Chu Mengmeng and Lin Wan'er hid behind a rockery in the corner of the courtyard, watching the battle with fear.

“Wan’er, look!” Chu Mengmeng pointed in the direction of the study and said in a low voice, “Why did Brother Yichen go in? Does he want to die?”

Lin Wan'er looked in the direction of Chu Mengmeng's finger, and saw Xiao Yichen flash into the study like a ghost, and then the door closed tightly, and there was no movement.

"He must have discovered something!" Lin Wan'er guessed, "Let's go and take a look!"

The two of them crouched down, taking advantage of the cover of night and the rockery and plants, and carefully moved towards the study.

In the study, Xiao Yichen didn't bother to wipe the blood off his face, and searched through the boxes and cabinets. Previously, he found a strange device in the secret room, which seemed to be related to the power that controlled those men in black. He vaguely felt that this device might be closely related to the safety of the Su Mansion and even the entire city.

Finally, he found an ancient book in the secret compartment behind the desk. He flipped open the yellowed pages, which were densely packed with records about the city's history and some mysterious legends. Xiao Yichen skimmed through the pages, and suddenly, a paragraph caught his attention:

"...In ancient times, our ancestors built energy hubs in the center of cities to draw power from the earth's veins and protect the area... The hubs are where energy gathers and are also forbidden areas. Anyone who enters without permission will be retaliated..."

"Energy hub? Could it be the key to controlling the power of those men in black?" Xiao Yichen's mind moved, and he quickly searched for relevant records. Finally, he found a hand-drawn map on the last few pages of the ancient book, which clearly marked the location of the energy hub.

"So that's it!" Xiao Yichen suddenly realized, "As long as we shut down the energy hub, we can cut off the source of power for those men in black!"

He put away the ancient books and was about to leave the study when he heard a burst of orderly footsteps coming from outside.

"Oh no, they are coming!" Xiao Yichen's heart trembled. He quickly blew out the candle and hid behind the bookshelf.

The door was suddenly pushed open, and a group of men in black filed in. The leader was tall and strong, with a ferocious mask on his face. He was the leader of the men in black who had fought with Xiao Yichen in the secret room before.

"Search! Don't leave any corner unsearched!" the leader of the men in black ordered coldly.

The men in black searched through the boxes and drawers but found nothing.

"Waste!" The leader of the men in black roared and flipped the desk to the ground. "Burn it! I don't believe he won't come out!"

The raging fire instantly engulfed the entire study, and Xiao Yichen was forced to break the window and escape.

At the same time, Chu Mengmeng rushed to the Su Mansion with an alliance team composed of major families.

"Kill! Don't let any of the men in black go!" Chu Mengmeng gave an order, and everyone rushed towards the men in black like tigers descending from the mountains.

After learning the location of the energy hub, Chu Mengmeng made a prompt decision and decided to split the troops into two groups: one group, led by her and Lin Wan'er, would go to the energy hub and wait for an opportunity to shut it down; the other group, led by Xiao Yichen and Su Mubai, would be responsible for restraining the main force of the men in black and covering their actions.

Under the cover of night, the two teams head towards their respective goals. A decisive battle that will determine the fate of the city is about to begin...

The raging fire lit up half of the night sky, and the shouts of killing from the Su Mansion resounded through the sky. When Chu Mengmeng and the alliance team arrived, they saw Xiao Yichen breaking out of the study window, with flames rolling behind him, as if to devour him.

"Brother Yichen!" Chu Mengmeng exclaimed, her heart in her throat.

After landing, Xiao Yichen ignored his injuries and shouted to Chu Mengmeng who had come running over: "Mengmeng, hurry to the energy hub! I'll hold them back!"

Chu Mengmeng also knew that the situation was urgent. She looked at Xiao Yichen deeply, turned around resolutely, and led Lin Wan'er and a group of people to break out of the siege and gallop towards the energy hub in the center of the city.

"Want to leave? Not that easy!" The leader of the men in black sneered and ordered his men to chase and intercept them.

"Brother Su, I leave this to you!" Xiao Yichen drew out his sword and pointed the tip of the sword directly at the leader of the men in black, "Your opponent is me!"

Su Mubai understood and commanded the alliance team to fight the black-clothed men to death. Although they were not in the majority in terms of numbers, they were all experts from various families, and with the special weapons and tactics provided by Chu Mengmeng, they fought the black-clothed men to a standstill.

On the other side, Chu Mengmeng and Lin Wan'er led their men and horses to run wildly in the night. Along the way, they were constantly intercepted by men in black, but they were all repelled one by one. Although Chu Mengmeng was a delicate young lady on the surface, she was very strong inside. At critical moments, she could always come up with unexpected tricks and lead everyone out of danger.

“Wan’er, look!” Chu Mengmeng pointed to a towering building in front of her and said, “That should be the energy hub!”

The two of them rushed into the tower with their men, only to find that the tower was full of traps and heavily guarded. With her extraordinary wisdom and courage, Chu Mengmeng led everyone to crack the traps, repel the guards, and finally came to the control room on the top floor of the tower.

In the control room, a huge spherical device was suspended in the air, emitting a faint blue light. Countless energy beams converged from all directions and were injected into the device.

"This is the key to controlling the power of those men in black!" Chu Mengmeng recognized the device at a glance.

“Mengmeng, be careful!” Lin Wan’er pointed at a control panel under the device and said, “There seems to be someone there!”

Chu Mengmeng looked closely and saw a man in black standing in front of the control panel, tapping the keys quickly, as if he was performing some operation.

"Oh no, he is going to activate the device!" Chu Mengmeng's heart trembled, and she quickly commanded everyone to launch an attack.

Seeing this, the man in black sneered, pressed the last button, and then disappeared in the control room in a flash.

"Oh no!" Chu Mengmeng rushed to the control panel and saw that it showed that the device was accumulating energy and there was less than a minute left in the countdown.

"What should we do? Mengmeng!" Lin Wan'er asked anxiously.

Chu Mengmeng took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, and quickly scanned the various buttons and indicator lights on the control panel.

"Don't worry, Wan'er, I will definitely find a way!"

At the same time, Xiao Yichen also relied on his wisdom and courage to successfully crack the defense system of the energy node and shut down the energy supply. However, the device did not completely stop running, it seemed to be accumulating energy and preparing for the final counterattack.

"It's not over yet..." Xiao Yichen looked at the towering tower in the distance, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart.

Chu Mengmeng stared at the control panel, her brain working rapidly, trying to find a way to crack the system in a short time. Various buttons and indicator lights flashed in front of her eyes, and the complicated circuit diagram made her dizzy, but time was running out, and she didn't have much time left.

"Tick, tick..." The sound of the countdown seemed to hit Chu Mengmeng's heart, making her feel suffocated. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

"Mengmeng, don't worry, we'll find a solution together!" Lin Wan'er held Chu Mengmeng's hand and gave her strength.

Chu Mengmeng nodded and glanced at the control panel. Suddenly, her eyes lit up and she pointed at an inconspicuous red button and said, "Wan'er, look at this button!"

Lin Wan'er looked in the direction of Chu Mengmeng's finger, and saw the words "Emergency Termination" written in ancient characters next to the red button.

"Could this be..." Lin Wan'er opened her eyes wide in surprise.

"Let's give it a try!" Chu Mengmeng made a prompt decision and pressed the red button without hesitation.

However, the expected emergency termination procedure did not start, and the countdown on the control panel continued to tick mercilessly.

"What's going on? Is this button malfunctioning?" Lin Wan'er asked anxiously.

Chu Mengmeng did not answer. She stared at the control panel with a frown on her face. Her intuition told her that things were not that simple and there must be a deeper secret behind this device.

At this moment, the door of the control room was suddenly knocked open by a powerful force, and a figure wearing a black cloak and with an unclear face slowly walked in.

"Who are you?" Chu Mengmeng and Lin Wan'er asked vigilantly.

The man in black ignored them and walked straight to the control panel. He looked at the countdown with a weird smile on his face.

"Do you think you can stop me by shutting off the energy supply? How naive!" The man in black said coldly, "Once this device is activated, no one can stop it!"

"What exactly do you want to do?" Chu Mengmeng asked.

"My goal is not something you ants can understand." The man in black said, stretching out his hand and pressing it on the control panel.

At the same time, Xiao Yichen in the distance suddenly felt a palpitation. He looked up in the direction of the energy hub, and a strong sense of uneasiness arose in his heart.

"Mengmeng, you must be safe..." Xiao Yichen murmured to himself, then turned around without hesitation and ran towards the energy hub. He had a premonition that a bigger crisis was about to come!
