Shen Jingqi cautiously pushed open the main door and walked into the factory. The acrid smell of rust permeated the factory, and the machines were haphazardly placed, as if they were speaking of past glory and present ruin. They found a relatively clean corner and settled down.

Shen Jingqi took the child aside and asked softly, "Little friend, can you tell me how you were captured by those strange people? Why did they want to catch you?"

The child's eyes were filled with fear, and he said with trembling lips, "I don't know... I was playing on campus that day, and suddenly a group of people wearing black clothes caught me. They took me to a room, and then... then I don't know anymore."

Shen Jingqi looked at the child, filled with doubt. This child seemed to know little about the mysterious organization. But he knew he couldn't give up any clue. He continued to ask, "Did you see anything strange in the room? Or hear any odd sounds?"

The child thought for a moment and said, "It seemed like I heard them talking about 'experiment' and 'energy', but I didn't quite understand what it meant."

Shen Jingqi's heart moved, experiment? Energy? Could this mysterious organization be conducting some kind of dangerous experiment? What was the relationship between this experiment and the changes in the machines? He felt he was one step closer to the truth.

Just then, a warrior suddenly shouted, "Captain, look!"

Shen Jingqi followed the warrior's pointing finger and saw some strange symbols carved on the factory wall. These symbols looked like some ancient script, or some mystical symbols. He walked up to the wall and carefully observed these symbols.

"What do these symbols mean?" a warrior asked.

Shen Jingqi shook his head and said, "I don't know either. But I feel these symbols are certainly related to this mysterious organization. We need to write these symbols down and find experts to study them when we return."

Everyone took out paper and pens and started recording the symbols on the wall. Suddenly, they heard footsteps outside the factory. The footsteps were getting closer, as if a group of people were walking towards them.

Shen Jingqi's heart tightened; he quickly signaled everyone to stay quiet. He quietly walked to the factory door and peeked outside through the crack. He saw a group of people dressed in black heading towards the factory, holding weapons, their eyes showing a hint of ferocity.

"It's them! It's those people from the mysterious organization!" a warrior whispered.

Fury surged in Shen Jingqi's heart. He knew these mysterious organization members wouldn't let them go easily. He quickly went back to his companions and said, "Everyone get ready, they're coming. We must protect the child and find a way to break through."

Everyone picked up their weapons, ready for battle. Their eyes were filled with determination and resolve, knowing this would be a life-and-death battle.

The mysterious organization members quickly reached the factory door. They forcefully pushed open the door and rushed in. Shen Jingqi and the others quickly confronted them, engaging in intense combat.

During the fight, Shen Jingqi found these mysterious organization members seemed to be more formidable than before. Their movements were agile, their attacks powerful, as if they had undergone special training. Although Shen Jingqi and his team resisted fiercely, they were gradually overwhelmed.

"This won't work, we need to find a way to break through." Shen Jingqi shouted.

He scanned the surroundings and noticed the factory's back door seemed unobstructed. He shouted loudly, "Everyone, follow me, we'll break through from the back door!"

Everyone followed Shen Jingqi, rushing toward the back door. The mysterious organization members realized their intent and chased after them. During the escape, a warrior was accidentally hit by an enemy and fell to the ground.

"Go! Leave me!" the warrior shouted.

Shen Jingqi felt a sharp pain in his heart, but he knew now was not the time to hesitate. He gritted his teeth and led the others to continue charging toward the back door. Finally, they reached the back door and rushed out.

The mysterious organization members pursued relentlessly from behind. Shen Jingqi and his people ran while searching for a place to hide. Suddenly, they found a narrow alley ahead. Shen Jingqi led everyone quickly into the alley.

The alley was very narrow, only allowing one person to pass through. The mysterious organization members reached the alley entrance but couldn't chase in. Shen Jingqi and his team took the opportunity to catch their breath, but their hearts were still hanging because they knew the mysterious organization wouldn't give up easily.

"What should we do now?" a warrior asked.

Shen Jingqi pondered for a moment and said, "We can't keep hiding here. We need to find a way to shake them off, then find a safe place to continue studying the symbols and matters involving the mysterious organization."

Just then, they heard chaotic noises outside the alley. That noise was like a pack of hungry wolves growling in the dark or countless venomous bees buzzing near their ears, making people restless. It seemed the mysterious organization members were discussing how to capture them, and their words came intermittently, carrying a hint of viciousness and cunning.

Shen Jingqi's heart tightened, his eyes full of vigilance and worry. He quickly scanned the companions around him, everyone with tense expressions on their faces, some gripping their weapons tightly, their knuckles white from the effort; others were subconsciously gulping, their eyes flickering with a trace of fear.

"Everyone stay calm and quiet," Shen Jingqi said in a low voice, his tone filled with firmness and strength, as if giving everyone a shot of confidence. He took a deep breath, striving to stay calm, his brain racing to think of a plan. He knew they must quickly find a way out of here; otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable once surrounded by the mysterious organization.

Suddenly, Shen Jingqi thought of a plan. His eyes lit up, as if seeing a thread of dawn in the dark. He gently patted Xu An on the shoulder and said in a low voice, "Xu An, I'll go up to check the situation, you take care of everyone." Xu An nodded, his eyes showing a hint of trust.

Shen Jingqi quieted everyone down and then quietly climbed up the alley wall. His movements were light and agile, like a nimble cat. He cautiously peeked out, observing the situation outside. He saw outside the alley, a group of people dressed in black gathered together, their faces covered with black masks, exposing only their fierce eyes. One of them was pointing at the alley, shouting loudly, his voice full of anger and unwillingness.
