Shortly after the meeting ended, everyone unanimously agreed to act according to the plan discussed in the meeting. Zhao Liang and other network technicians from the academy immediately worked overtime to release various pieces of information related to supernaturals on the internet.

Once this information spread, it caused a stir on the internet and in society. People couldn't stop discussing these revelations, especially the news that the Academy of Supernaturals could save all of humanity, sparking endless speculation. In this era, where humans are deeply affected by radiation, both physically and mentally tortured, the idea of a biological transformation that could restore health was seen as a tremendous piece of good news for all of humanity.

During this period, the 'Chiyou' organization and the Sky Shield Bureau remained surprisingly silent. For over half a month, they made no moves, neither attacking the academy nor contacting them. This led people in the academy to wonder about the intentions of the Sky Shield Bureau and the 'Chiyou' organization. Were they giving up on attacking the academy, or did they have new plans in mind?

One early morning, Li Ruobing suddenly called a meeting with the senior members of the academy. When everyone was present, Li Ruobing got straight to the point, "Just a while ago, I received a call from Director Wei of the Sky Shield Bureau. He invited us to attend an important meeting at a certain location to discuss the recent online rumors about supernaturals. He mentioned that if we can reach an agreement during the meeting, they are willing to cooperate with our academy."

"It seems our strategy worked," Gao Zhanxiang said excitedly, "Now they understand the importance of our Academy of Supernaturals and won't dare to continue targeting us."

"But could this be a trap?" Lin Shiqi hesitated, "Could they use negotiations as a cover to capture us once we arrive and then use us to manipulate others to comply with their demands?"

"It's a possibility," Li Ruobing said with a serious expression, "But this is our only chance to break free from this dilemma. Even if it's a trap, we must go. Director Wei mentioned that this meeting will also invite important figures from various sectors of society. If we can persuade them to support us, the 'Chiyou' organization and the Sky Shield Bureau will no longer dare to openly confront us."

"In that case, we must attend this meeting. President Li, who do you plan to send?" Instructor Hong asked.

"I have already decided. Qin Yan and I will attend this meeting together. In case it is a trap, we can escape," Li Ruobing replied.

"Qin Yan, make sure to protect Ice Sister well. If they dare to set a trap to harm you both, show no mercy and give them a good beating to show them your strength!" Lin Shiqi exclaimed.

Qin Yan nodded, "Shiqi, be careful too. The 'Chiyou' organization might attack the academy while President Li and I are away."

"I have already considered that," Li Ruobing said, "So during our absence, I will ask Dream Butterfly to take over my duties and lead everyone. With Dream Butterfly's intelligence, there should be no issues."

Afterward, Li Ruobing and Qin Yan left the academy together, driving to the location where Wei Gang had invited them for the meeting. About an hour later, they arrived at a heavily guarded location, with nearly a hundred guards armed with firearms patrolling the area.

After thorough security checks and questioning, Qin Yan and Li Ruobing were guided by the reception staff to a spacious conference room within a high-rise building. They took their seats in a corner of the conference room.

"It seems Director Wei didn't deceive us; the people attending this meeting don't seem ordinary." Qin Yan whispered to Li Ruobing, noticing around thirty individuals seated at the long table in this extremely spacious conference room. These people, aged between thirty and fifty, were all well-dressed, dignified, and exuded an air of authority. However, despite their outward appearance, most of them had a haggard look, as if suffering from serious illnesses.

"We must proceed cautiously; this meeting concerns the survival of our academy," Li Ruobing whispered back, perhaps feeling a bit nervous. Her hand reached under the table and tightly grasped Qin Yan's hand sitting next to her.

"Don't worry," Qin Yan held Li Ruobing's hand with both of his, reassuring her, "Look at them, they look sickly, as if they could drop dead at any moment. These people need help more than we do. They might be even more nervous than us."

A slight blush appeared on Li Ruobing's face as she softly responded with a "Hmm." She felt the warmth transmitted through Qin Yan's hand, calming her involuntarily. Her face gradually returned to its usual cold and stern expression.

Wei Gang from the Sky Shield Bureau was the host of this meeting. Once all attendees were present, he solemnly spoke, "Dear friends and guests from various sectors of society, today we are honored to have you join this meeting. Allow me to briefly explain the purpose of convening this meeting. Over half a month ago, an organization called the Academy of Supernaturals released some shocking information online, causing a significant impact on society. We have now invited two key members of the Academy of Supernaturals - President Li Ruobing and the young but powerful supernaturally gifted Qin Yan - to discuss this online incident."

Instantly, all eyes in the conference room focused on Qin Yan and Li Ruobing in the corner. People began whispering and casting unfriendly, hostile glances their way. However, both Qin Yan and Li Ruobing remained resolute and composed, unfazed by the unfriendly looks and remained silent throughout.

"Before we begin the discussion, let's watch a video recording to understand the background of this incident," Wei Gang said. The projector in the conference room started projecting on the wall, playing the video recordings. These videos mainly covered the messages spread by the Academy of Supernaturals and the societal impact of these messages.

After the video recordings finished playing, Wei Gang fixed his sharp gaze on Qin Yan and Li Ruobing, and with a firm tone, he said, "As you all have seen, due to the messages released by the Academy of Supernaturals, society is in turmoil. People have been distracted from work and studies, focusing only on becoming supernaturals and using these abilities. Additionally, violent crime rates have increased significantly, disrupting social order. Now, I want to ask both of you in front of everyone, what was the purpose behind spreading those sensational messages on the internet, Academy of Supernaturals?"
