"My friend, please believe me, this matter is incredibly complex, you need to leave, getting involved won't do you any good."

"Don't be stubborn because of the Woodcutter's words or other emotional factors. For ordinary people, nothing happening is the best thing."

Bena's voice came through the surveillance, causing a momentary pause in Wang Ya's expression.

"Bena... you're not dead." Wang Ya glanced to the side, looking towards the surveillance camera, as if she could see through it to the girl with deep brown hair on the other side: "Are you still a spy?"

"No, I used to be an archaeology student, and now I'm an archaeology scholar. It's just that we swear allegiance to different countries. In your eyes, I might probably count as a spy?"

Facing Wang Ya's questioning, Bena's tone carried a hint of regret as she spoke: "Among our batch of students, before studying abroad, I had some knowledge about Spiritual Particles and was assigned a so-called mission. Before seeing this ruins, I was just an ordinary student. I liked you very much, but after encountering the Spirit Particle Ruins, everything changed."

"If I manage to escape alive, then, I will surely invite you for a trip to Northern Europe."

Bena's words made Wang Ya's face display a complex expression as she recalled some past events.

Both were fluffy animal enthusiasts, thus they shared a common secret, one being a mother fox and the other a little female wolf fursona. They once agreed to visit Europe together to see the animal shelters in their free time.

"You can't escape, this place is surrounded by layers of security bureau blocks, and there are even some very powerful leaders personally overseeing the battle based on their names." Wang Ya said to the camera: "Bena, surrender! Our Xia Country follows the principle of Leniency to those who confess, severity to those who resist, and does not apply any Miranda Declaration."

"The sooner you confess, the lighter the punishment. If you tell everything, and expose the controllers behind the organization, you can get out within three to five years."

"Sorry Xiao Ya..." Bena began: "Things really aren't as simple as you think. I'm not even myself at this moment, and even the organization behind me cannot interfere. This is a major bargaining chip concerning the fate of our nation."

"Additionally, we've already paid the price shortly after you brought people over. It's not possible to abandon the excavation mission now."

While Bena spoke, the camera quickly glanced over the Woodcutter, and even across the network distance, you could almost feel her disdain.

Though the Woodcutter's main role is handling domestic Spirit Beasts and Spiritual Particles-related matters, the scope of spiritual power resurgence was once global, just like it is now. And the Security Bureau has specialized personnel for external matters; their job titles are respectively Forest Resource Investigator and Forestry Engineer.

The moment she was exposed, Bena knew there would inevitably be obstacles for her home country's wolf cub archaeology.

"Do you know Bena's background?" Seeing Wang Ya's failure to persuade, Ansheng looked towards Wang Qiqi and said: "Oh, and one more thing, can we currently forge things like Spiritual Particle Metal?"

"There have been suspicions, with previous suspects being those old vampires from the Longevity Club, but the Longevity Club was ruled out after the explosion at the porcelain factory. They wouldn't do something so crazy."

"Bena is likely affiliated with a resource investigation and collection organization called Forest Wolf in Europe."

Wang Qiqi said: "Forest Wolf is an organization that values contribution levels. The higher the contribution level, the closer you get to the core, thus gaining more shared Spiritual Particle data from other member countries."

"Obtaining contribution is simple, just share your own country's Spiritual Particle research data, or globally excavate ancient Spirit Particle Ruins, sharing the items and research data within the organization."

"As for forging Spiritual Particle Metal, at present, no institution worldwide can achieve that. At most, they can temporarily coat substances extracted from plants onto objects using coating technology."

Wang Qiqi looked at the camera, showed a smile, and said: "If you don't like coming out, you'll stay underground forever! We'll bring a cannon later to blast you out."

"So... that's how it is?"

After pondering for a moment, Master Fox raised his hand towards the surveillance camera and cursed:

"You better hide deep! If I catch you, Master Fox will treat you to pineapple pizza and make you swallow two cups of grape iced coffee!"

"Moreover, I'll definitely bake the pizza with an American-style crust!"

"Oh no! You evil and cunning White Fox, how can you so defile pizza and coffee!" Enraged, Bena in the surveillance room reacted as if she had seen strawberries added to mapo tofu like a Xia national.

Italian pizza and espresso coffee are considered proud specialties of Bena's hometown, alongside the automobile industry.

Humiliated by Master Fox, besides a slight sense of satisfaction, Bena was otherwise infuriated.

How could he insult like this, even wanting to feed her American-style pizza, and worse, pineapple pizza!

"Without Spiritual Particle Metal, what are you talking about? Once I catch you, we'll see if I don't notify the prison guards to feed you frozen American pizza daily!"

"Golden Leopard, come help!"

Master Fox braced his arms against the door, motioning to the side for Golden Leopard, supported by two pressure machines installed on the wall pressing against the metal door from behind.

If I can't smash the Spirit Particle Metal fan-door, can I not break the bolts securing your pressure machines?

"You take the top, I'll take the bottom!"

Master Fox propped against the door, raised his head, and looked at Leopard whose muscle form had changed.

"Alright!"

Master Fox and Golden Leopard exerted continuous force, applying terrifying power on the door panel. Despite being separated by the door panel, this persistent force output caused metal twisting sounds of "cree-eeak."

And at this moment, a gap appeared on the tightly closed door.

In the surveillance room, a shocked Bena watched the events unfolding at the door of the ruins.

"No.... don't..."

"How could it be, the door is pushed open, Fox really wants to feed me pineapple pizza every day, how could there be such a wicked Fox in the world."

"........"

Compared to the already frantic Bena, Wang Ya glanced back at the surveillance, displaying envious jealousy.

Hawaiian pizza... it's actually quite tasty! The sweet and sour flavor, accompanied by precise hand-fed service from the little fox, how wondrously happy that would be.....

"I will help too!"

Envious for a moment, Wang Ya extended her arms to push. With Wang Ya joining in, the gap widened, and the anchor bolts inside couldn't withstand possibly a hundred tons of force, breaking one after another, and the two pressure machines fell down directly into the ruins' path.

Bena's resounding cries reached a peak as the door was fully pushed open, filling the air with despair mixed with oddly suspicious excitement and sadness.

"No—"

"You can't do this—"
