In the room, besides the woman in black, there was another person. She remained motionless, hidden in the shadows. When the woman in black passed by, she gave a slight bow as a sign of respect.
Only after the woman in black had left did she slowly open an interstellar network account and type a line: "Number 9, I must leave now."
There was no response. She opened the screen, looking out at the area beyond the base.
En route, the woman in black issued an order: "Black Crow Fifth Squad and Red Bear Sixth Team, accompany me."
As the woman in black exited the base's main gate, the first row behind her consisted of four bald spiritual power wielders. They wore yellow officer uniforms, their cap visors embroidered with a lifelike black crow.
The second row comprised twelve burly warriors, fully clad in deep-red combat suits. Their chests were embroidered with a fierce and intimidating image of a flaming giant bear roaring at the sky.
