The Mystery at the Alliance Headquarters

Reno and Ella stared in the direction where the mysterious messenger disappeared, and their hearts sank. Ella bit her lip, her eyes filled with worry. "This Shadow Organization is like a vicious wolf hidden in the darkness, ready to pounce at any time."

Reno turned to look at her, his gaze firm and steady. "Don't be afraid. I'm here." His tall figure was like a solid barrier, bringing a glimmer of reassurance to Ella.

Back in the room, Ella sat by the bed, her hands tightly twisting the corner of her dress. Her heart was like a tangled mess. Her fair forehead was slightly wrinkled, and her beautiful face was now full of sorrow.

Meanwhile, Reno was having a secret communication with the alliance's top officials in his room. The glow of the screen reflected on his chiseled face, and his knitted brows showed the heaviness in his heart.

"Reno, this situation is more complicated than we imagined." The voice of the top official on the other end of the screen was serious.

Reno clenched his fist. "No matter what, I will find out the truth and defend the alliance."

After ending the communication, Reno decided to look for Ella. He gently knocked on Ella's door. When Ella heard the knock, she hurriedly stood up, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

"I was just thinking about what to do next." Ella said, her voice carrying a hint of helplessness.

"Me too, so I came to discuss it with you." Reno walked into the room and sat on the chair. His gaze remained on Ella, carrying concern and encouragement.

The two began to analyze the clues they currently had, attempting to find the flaws of the Shadow Organization.

"That mysterious fluctuation seems to be the key, but we still don't know its source and function." Ella bit her lower lip and fell into deep thought.

Reno thought for a moment. "Perhaps we should look for relevant information from the alliance's internal database."

After saying that, they decided to head to the alliance's database. Along the way, Reno subconsciously moved closer to Ella, seemingly protecting her.

However, on their way to the database, they keenly sensed that someone was secretly following them. Reno's eyes instantly became sharp, and he lowered his voice to say to Ella, "Be careful. Don't turn back. Pretend you don't know." Ella nodded slightly, and her body involuntarily moved closer to Reno.

They quickened their pace, attempting to shake off the follower. But the follower persisted and finally blocked their way in a secluded corner.

"You won't be able to uncover the truth!" The follower said viciously, his face distorted and his eyes fierce.

Reno stepped forward, shielding Ella behind him. "Are you from the Shadow Organization?"

The follower sneered and suddenly launched an attack. Reno reacted quickly, dodging sideways and throwing a punch in return.

Ella watched anxiously on the side, her heart in her throat.

Just when Reno was gradually gaining the upper hand, suddenly several black figures appeared and joined the fight.

Seeing the situation turn unfavorable, Ella took a deep breath, gathered her courage, and used the mysterious fluctuation power to disrupt the enemies' actions.

Reno seized the opportunity and defeated the enemies in one go. His forehead was covered in sweat but he didn't have time to wipe it off. He pulled Ella and continued running towards the database.

Finally reaching the database, they began to search for information related to the mysterious fluctuation and the Shadow Organization.

After some effort, they found some important clues.

"It turns out that this mysterious fluctuation is related to an ancient interstellar energy." Ella said, her eyes shining with excitement.

Just then, the alarm sounded and the system of the database indicated an invasion.

"Not good. We have to leave quickly." Reno took Ella's hand and quickly ran towards the exit.

Back in the room, they continued to study these clues.

"It seems that the Shadow Organization has been looking for this ancient energy to achieve their ulterior motives." Reno said, his gaze focused and profound.

Ella thought for a moment. "But we still don't know their specific plan."

Just then, Ella suddenly felt dizzy and her body swayed.

Reno hurriedly reached out to support her. "What's wrong with you?" His face was filled with worry.

Ella shook her head. "I don't know. Maybe I used the power of the mysterious fluctuation too much."

Reno helped Ella sit down and let her lean against him. "You rest first."

Ella closed her eyes and tried to adjust her condition.

At this moment, Reno's heart was filled with worry. He looked at Ella's slightly pale face and gently sighed.

After a while, Ella felt a little better.

"We can't just wait like this. We must take the initiative." Ella said firmly. She raised her head, and her gaze met Reno's.

Reno nodded. "I agree, but we need a comprehensive plan."

They began to formulate a detailed plan, preparing for a head-on confrontation with the Shadow Organization.

Just when they were discussing vigorously, there was a commotion outside the door.

Reno opened the door and saw a group of alliance soldiers standing outside.

"Commander Reno, Miss Ella, you are suspected of collusion with the Shadow Organization. Please come with us." The soldier said, his expression serious.

Reno angrily retorted, "We have risked our lives for the alliance. How could we be spies!"

Ella also said, "This must be someone framing us."

However, the soldiers remained unmoved and insisted on taking them away.

Helplessly, Reno and Ella had to follow the soldiers.

In the interrogation room, they underwent severe interrogation.

"Say, are you spies of the Shadow Organization or not?" The interrogator demanded, his eyes filled with suspicion.

Reno glared angrily at the interrogator. "We are loyal and have never betrayed!"

Ella also straightened her chest. "This is a slander. We have been working hard to fight against the Shadow Organization!"

However, the interrogator did not believe their words.

Just then, Reno suddenly noticed a flaw in the interrogation room.

"This is a trap!" Reno shouted.

But it was too late. Suddenly, a gas was released in the room, causing them to lose consciousness.

When they woke up, they found themselves locked in a dark cell.

"What on earth is going on?" Ella said in terror, her voice trembling in the darkness.

Reno calmly analyzed. "It must be that someone from the Shadow Organization has infiltrated the alliance and wants to get rid of us."

They tried to find a way to escape, but the cell was heavily guarded.

Just when they felt desperate, there was a slight noise outside the cell.
