06:55PM.
The heart of Hell’s Kitchen·The Authority Headquarters-Helselem Tower.
In the director's office, Xia Xiu sat upright in a large office chair, with his hands crossed on his chest, his chin gently resting on the crossed hands, and there were several people surrounding him. a virtual screen.
The largest one in the center of the screen displays a detailed map of Hell's Kitchen. This is a miniature of Hell's Kitchen. Each red dot represents a key goal in the plan he will implement next.
The other screens surrounding the map displayed various intelligence and messages, from the movements of the secret cult forces to the latest reactions of the ever-changing Workshop family, all of which were under Xia Xiu's control.

The Hell's Kitchen area has always been a vibrant community, but the recent frequent accidents remind us that only by strengthening safety management and ensuring the safety of residents and tourists can the prosperity and development of this area be ensured. 】
Dong dong dong——”
Xia Xiu’s eyes finally settled on the virtual screen displaying the latest information about Hell’s Kitchen. His right index finger tapped the table unconsciously. This action seemed to be While evaluating the information.
"Today's luck, the Everchanging Workshop family has a lot to do with it."
The data on the screen showed that among the accidents that occurred in Hell's Kitchen today, 267 were directly related to members of the Everchanging Workshop family. Relevantly, this number accounts for three-tenths of all accidents today.
Although the number of these three-tenths cases seems quite alarming, Xia Xiu knows that the story behind them is far more complicated than the numbers themselves.
Although there are only thirteen names on the "gift list" provided by Mira Wanxiang, these names represent all necessary targets within the workshop family.
The actions of these thirteen people directly or indirectly led to today’s astonishing data.
Moon Rabbit collaborated with [Adam] to complete comprehensive intelligence collection and in-depth investigation of these targets in less than a day.
This kind of efficiency and accuracy makes Xia Xiu quite satisfied, but it is not enough.
He is not showing violence now, he is precisely controlling the entire situation to ensure that the final goal can be achieved smoothly.
"Adam, is the encirclement network of two ends and two limits still there?"
[It has been restricted and controlled according to your instructions——]
[This operation has obtained control authority for part of the projection of the Wall of Lament in Heaven——]
[The encirclement network has been fully completed——]
[External communication has been cut off: the workshop has been blocked Any form of communication between the family and the outside world (including other families, organizations or forces), including but not limited to physical communication, genealogical emails, and technological means of messaging. The target organization has been quarantined to prevent it from receiving foreign aid or transmitting information.
Internal links have been severed: restricting or completely blocking communications between members of the Workshop family, especially individuals or groups that have been identified as opposition and neutral factions. At present, a large part of the organizational structure within the workshop family has been disintegrated, and its ability to coordinate actions has been greatly reduced. ]
[The flow of information has been restricted: Through the interference of the Adam monitoring system and the Moon Rabbit part, the flow of information within the Workshop family has been restricted, especially information about the actions and plans of the Authority. The [Crown Element] hacker you provided has taken over the workshop's abnormal network and reviewed and controlled all shapeshifters' abnormal emails, messages, and data transmissions to ensure that sensitive information is not leaked or spread.
Restricted Communication Scope: Strict geographical and scope restrictions on the communications allowed by the Workshop Family, allowing only the minimum communication under specific circumstances, and communication only within specific areas authorized by the Authority. ]
"You did a good job, Adam." Xia Xiu nodded in satisfaction.
It is actually not difficult to make those unexpected events happen. What is difficult is how to make them appear to the outside world as if they have never happened after those events occur. This is the moment when wisdom and ability are truly tested.
In that far-reaching chess game, the ability to secretly control the situation and make everything seem to happen naturally while being completely under one's own control is an extremely precious and powerful talent.
The fourth sword holder in the Kingdom of Heaven has already demonstrated this extraordinary talent when dealing with the complex game of the inner earth civilization.
His actions are not only accurate, but he can always quietly guide events to develop in a direction beneficial to the Kingdom of Heaven at critical moments.
This ability naturally did not escape the eyes of [Xin Liezhi], who is known for his unfathomable and cunning character.
He wanders in the shadows of the stars, forever looking for those chess pieces that can bring Him greater power and influence.
To Him, Hugh Abraham was like a supernova falling from the sky, possessing immeasurable potential and value.
He is full of desire for the ability of the fourth sword-bearer of the Kingdom of Heaven, hoping to turn this outstanding representative of the Kingdom of Heaven into His own divine choice and become a key link in advancing His complex plan.
If Xia Xiu is willing to nod to him and express his agreement, [Xin Liezhi] is even willing to pay a "miracle" for it.
"Report on the progress of Operation Seven Points."
Xia Xiu continued to ask [Adam] in a calm tone.
[Tulsi and the Moon Watcher of the Moon Rabbit have secretly visited the patriarch and management of the Everchanging Workshop.
As expected, they will select a new speaker when seven o'clock comes, and the only old-fashioned telephone that can communicate will express respect and...surrender to you and the Authority. ]
"Seven o'clock." The blond young man repeated softly, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, as if he was satisfied with this progress.
The current time is one minute away from seven o'clock.
Xia Xiu's eyes unconsciously stared at the ticking of the second hand on the clock in the office. Then, his eyes turned to the antique-like old-fashioned telephone on the table, this rocking dial telephone. The machine is particularly conspicuous in this high-tech office.
He asked the Chief of Intelligence, Pansy Jane, to put it here at noon today. It is a symbol”
He stopped the conversation and the room returned to silence.
However, the silence was soon interrupted.
Dang-dang-dang——
The old telephone made a rapid "dang-dang-dang" sound, breaking the tranquility of the room.
It is exactly seven o'clock at the moment.
On time and loud.
Night has fallen, and the rapid ringing is not only a signal of the kaleidoscope family's surrender, but also heralds that his and the Authority's rule in Whisper Square will enter a new stage.
This is also proof that his next "Midwinter Purge Plan" is going smoothly. Xia Xiu slowly stretched out his hand and picked up the heavy old-fashioned telephone.
The silence on the other end of the phone seemed to last for centuries. Xia Xiu acquiesced to the existence of this silence. He did not urge him, but indulged the other party's weakness and incompetence.
This is a manifestation of his 'kindness'.
Finally, a voice broke the silence.
It is so humble and full of awe, every word seems to be trembling to express endless respect and respect.
"Dear Your Excellency 'Saint Abraham', this is the Ever-Changing Workshop. I am the new speaker of the family after many choices - Mira Wanxiang.
In this The family has made this most wise and decisive moment. With the will of our entire family, I would like to express our deepest respect and most sincere surrender to you and the entire administration.”
Yes - 'St. Abraham'.
It seemed that poor Mira Wanxiang was so frightened that she was a little incoherent.
But the director of the administration did not correct him. He accepted the other party's title as a matter of course, as if that was what he should be called.
"Mira Wanxiang, I have received your respect."
Xia Xiu finally spoke, his voice was steady and gentle, with goodwill.
“I hope that our cooperation can bring benefits to both parties, while also ensuring peace and order in Whisper Square.”
Mira Wanxiang's excited and trembling loyal reply came from the other end of the phone.
“The Everchanging Chemical Factory is willing to put aside all past differences and fully support every decision and action of the Administration. Tonight, I am here, as the family spokesperson, to solemnly promise our loyalty and Obey.”
This unequal conversation did not last long. After listening to Mira Wanxiang’s expression of surrender and commitment, Xia Xiu responded to the other party in just a few words.
After the phone conversation ended, Xia Xiu hung up the phone gently. He leaned back on the office chair. His blond hair shimmered under the light, and his golden eyes reflected the dancing data spots on the screen.
He looked up at the huge clock that covered the entire wall in the office. At this moment, he was immersed in a brief contemplation.
We are now four days away from Midwinter.
**********
The time goes back half an hour.
06:30PM.
[Genealogy Think Tank-Adam has been connected——]
[Permission request is being submitted——]
[Permission approval is in progress——]
[Already passed, welcome authorized personnel: Turs Corbett——]
[The current task order is: "Midwinter Clearing Plan" pre-task——]
——[Seven-point operation: The ever-changing workshop family correction plan]——
Time: January 12, 1591 in the Terra Calendar
Background:
In response to the factional issues existing within the Everchanging Workshop family, especially the unstable factors of opposition and neutral factions, the Administration A corrective plan called "Seven Points of Action" was developed.
This plan aims to demonstrate the determination and strength of the Authority through a series of precise strikes and threatening actions to ensure the loyalty and obedience of the Workshop family.
Action target:
Pinpoint and target opposition and neutral members within the Atelier House, ensuring their loyalty or silence through a show of force.
Restrict the communication between the Shapeshifter family and the outside world, especially to prevent the spread of information about their mutations to key areas such as Whisper Square and Hell's Kitchen, so as to avoid triggering wider instability.
Results:
The implementation of the seven-point action resulted in 267 family members being directly affected, effectively demonstrating the determination and strength of the Authority.
At the same time, the communication control measures of "two breaks and two limits" successfully limited the spread of mutation information of the Shapeshifter family and reduced the potential threats to the Whispering Square and Hell's Kitchen areas.
Remarks:
This operation is the preliminary stage of the Midwinter Clearance Plan, and its successful implementation laid the foundation for subsequent operations. The Authority will continue to monitor the situation and adjust strategies as necessary to ensure the overall success of the program and the long-term stability of Whisper Square.
Now, please lead the Watcher troops to the core area of the Everchanging Workshop family for final mission correction.
——
Tours glanced steadily at the task template provided by Adam Think Tank, and then waved his hand gently, a simple action that contained deep power, but it was a cleansing movement. The signal to start.
Next to them, the members of the Moon Rabbit Force were ready to go, their eyes shining with determination to take action and concentration on the upcoming mission.
Following the leadership of Turs, this elite force quietly, but full of unstoppable momentum, slowly advanced towards the meeting place of the Everchanging Workshop Family.
The darkness of night provided a layer of covert cover for their actions.
On their way forward, the family members of the Everchanging Workshop are still unaware of what is about to happen. They may be arguing about the future of the family, or they may be making final preparations for the upcoming Midwinter Festival. However, on this critical night, the actions of Tours and the Moon Rabbit troops will be a heavy hammer that hits the fate of the ever-changing Factory family.
This was a well-planned, silent attack, a direct action by the Authority to "correct" the Everchanging Workshop family.
At the heart of the ever-changing Workshop family, tension and chaos are spreading rapidly.
The administration's precise strikes, the continuous loss of contact with family members, and the complete blockage of important information have plunged the entire family into an unprecedented panic.
Faced with this sudden crisis, the family patriarch quickly convened a temporary combat meeting, hoping to find a response.
The family members walked into the conference room one after another, and the air was filled with depression and tension.
At this moment, they don’t know anything.
