Chapter 105: Infiltration
On top of a hotel building outside the "Fraor" bar, a point of blue light that is almost invisible to the naked eye flickers rhythmically, drowning in the endless sea of lights in the commercial district, like a firefly swimming in the Milky Way.
"Position 1 Andre reported that everything is normal at the 'Fraor' bar at the moment, and no undercover exposures have been found. β
The energy core on the chest of the "Powerful Mecha" emits a faint blue light, and Andre wears high-tech glasses to observe the situation of the "Furaor" bar all the time, through the dark night, the drinkers in and out of the door of the bar are in full view, since Al and Li Shiyi entered the bar, Andre has been waiting here, always on the alert for possible accidents.
"Stay vigilant at all times, and report as soon as you encounter an emergency!" Conrad's calm order sounded in the headset.
"Roger. β
Andrei put the communication device back in silence, indifferently bothering the muffled thunder overhead, and AndrΓ© returned to the darkness.
Above the night sky, thick clouds gradually obscured the stars and moon, and occasionally there would be extremely small arcs of electricity dancing in the clouds, and no one knew when this unexpected rain would fall.
Glancing at the time indicated by the clock on the wall, it was already midnight, and Al's finger tapped the corner of the table, and it was getting closer to the agreed time of the covert operation.
The atmosphere inside the bar is already heating up, with sexy and charming dancers dancing in the middle of the dance floor, and slightly drunk drinkers slowly relaxing between the whispers of the girls and immersed themselves in a relaxed environment.
"How's that, this kind of working environment is acceptable, right?" Moby Dick sat on a high chair by the bar, asking the two for their opinions.
"I think most of the drinkers are very polite, and the overall atmosphere in the bar is low and harmonious, so I think it's a pleasure to work here. Al was complimented from the bottom of his heart.
"Li, what about you?" Moby Dick turned to Li Shiyi, "As a member of the security team, the nature of your work with Xiao Ai will be somewhat different, you all know that there is a lot of traffic these days, especially the influx of some foreigners, and you may encounter this situation every day today, so your work is not easy." β
"I'm fine. Li Shiyi replied.
"Okay, since you both think it's okay, then that's the end of today's meeting," Moby Dick beckoned to a waiter next to him, "Tomorrow morning you two can come to work at the bar, as your elders, I hope you can grow up here as soon as possible, welcome to the 'Fraor' family." β
The waiter next to him brought two glasses of freshly squeezed juice, and the colorful colors looked good.
"These two cold drinks were ordered especially for you," Moby Dick said, raising his glass, "a toast to our future friendship." β
Al and Li Shiyi glanced at each other, and the next second the three cups collided together.
Because of the arrival of some VIPs, Moby Dick had to leave first, and only Li Shiyi and Al were left at the round table next to the bar.
"I think Uncle Moby Dick is a good person, and I really don't want to stand against him if I can. Al leaned on his seat, watching the multicolored lines in the cup change shape.
"Without a thorough investigation of what's going on inside Raven's headquarters, everyone we meet here could be our potential adversary. Li Shiyi was still drinking his glass of water.
"Lee, if one day your responsibility and morality were on opposite sides, which one would you choose?"
"Why do you suddenly ask that?" Li Shiyi replied in a low voice, "Do you think of the girl who was bullied just now?"
"It's not just because of that, I just think that sometimes a person's mind is too complicated, and a lot of things have to be thought about for a long time before they are executed, even those things that are thought to be right. β
"There's no need to think too much, just follow your heart. β
"Hmm. Al nodded incomprehensibly.
Suddenly, the lights of the entire bar went out instantly, and Al and Li Shiyi became nervous all of a sudden, they didn't know what was going on, but the surrounding drinkers seemed to be very quiet, they were still talking and laughing in the dark, and they didn't seem to be affected.
Immediately afterwards, a beam of gathering lights hit the stage, and it was still the host, and he appeared again in the eyes of everyone.
"There doesn't seem to be that magician's performance tonight. Al listened intently to the host's announcement, not hearing the magician's name.
"Is the key hidden? Or is he already in the darkness observing the outside world? β
Li Shiyi was also listening carefully, and after the host finished talking about it, Li Shiyi couldn't help frowning.
"Lee, when are we going to act?"
"Wait, it's not the time yet. β
"Hmm. β
About half an hour later, the atmosphere in the bar was brought to a climax by the novelty of the performances, and two well-dressed young men at the main entrance took the opportunity to slip out, and in the fading night, almost no one noticed their whereabouts.
Walking around the corner, and after making sure that no one was following them, the two turned into a dimly lit alley behind the "Fraor" bar.
Wisps of drizzle fell above the black hole cave sky, and the alley was covered with puddles, and the crumpled waves of water reflected the shattered reflections of Li Shiyi and El speeding by.
The speed of the two was fast, and in an instant they had crossed the alley and disappeared at the end of the alley.
After about four or five minutes, a group of uniformed soldiers chased after them, about five or six of them, and slowed down as they reached the middle of the alley.
"Are you sure you're not mistaken?" said one of the officers at the head, whose entire body was covered in darkness, and only his voice could be heard with some anger.
"Captain, I really read that right, it's those two guys, they came running in this direction after they came out of the door of the bar, and it seems that there is something urgent to do. The officer next to him immediately chimed in.
"You two sent it to the door, no wonder I!" said the officer at the head of the group, in a bad tone, "I can't think of any other word to describe you except thieves sneaking into this kind of place at night." β
"Captain, are we still chasing? Both of them have already run away, do they realize that we are following?"
"Impossible!" one of the officers struggled to lift his heavy sword over his shoulder, "and those two guys were already running when I noticed them!"
"Don't talk nonsense! Chase Lao Tzu, this evil breath Lao Tzu must come out today!"
Then, the sound of disorganized leather shoes passed towards the end of the alley.
"Senior brother, this should be the place, right?"
Li Shiyi and Al came to a ventilation duct that connected almost the entire building, and the pipe here led directly to the "Fraor" bar, although the location was very hidden, but Li Shiyi was still discovered when he was patrolling the bar.
"That's right. β
Looking from the ground, you can see faint lights in several windows
"If my speculation is correct, we can follow this pipeline to reach all the rooms in the bar," Li Shiyi said slowly, "Using this pipeline well, we may be able to reduce the difficulty of our hidden mission." β
"Just go in?" Al asked, "Do you need to do anything about it?" β
"No, the only thing you need to pay attention to is to control the amplitude of your movements, and don't make any abnormal noises. Li Shiyi pricked up his ears and listened for a while, "Move faster, it looks like someone is chasing after you." β
"Huh?"
Without the slightest hesitation, the two of them were like two sturdy apes, and soon climbed the ventilation duct, and they clung to the wall, alertly observing the anomalies below.
Sure enough, just as Li Shiyi expected, it didn't take long for a group of armed officers to run through the street below, and they could even hear foul language in their mouths.
"It's the officers who are in trouble with us in the bar. Wiping away the drizzle that fell on his cheeks, Al whispered.
"Leave them alone and focus on the task. β
"Understood. β
Two minutes later, Al directly broke the filter on the outside of the ventilation duct with his bare hands, and then the two of them drilled into it one after the other, and the slight footsteps gradually spread into the depths of the ventilation duct.
Only one person is allowed to lie down in the narrow metal pipe, and in order to prevent the pipe from breaking because it cannot bear the weight of two people, the two people have maintained a distance of about two meters.
It was very depressing in the hot and dim confined space, but with an excellent sense of direction, the two continued to move towards the destination in their memory.
After turning a corner, Li Shiyi, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped without warning, and Al, who had been in a tense state, also stopped in place.
Realizing that Li Shiyi was lying on the pipe with his whole body on his stomach, and pressed his ear to the cold pipe wall as if listening to something, Al did the same.
The location of the pipes where Li Shiyi and Al are currently located should be the entrance to a room, and this room is Manager Meia's office.
"Moby Dick, how are the two newcomers?" Mayer's voice was distinctive, and it reached Al's ears clearly.
"It's not bad, I should be able to pass the internship period smoothly. "The man's voice was clearly Moby Dick's.
"I'm not worried about the abilities of the two of them, but I still have some doubts about the identities of the two of them, don't let their guard down for the time being, just let them do some simple things during the 'Wanbang Lantern Festival'. β
"There's no need to be so cautious, they're just waitresses. β
"Beluga, don't forget who we are. β
Al's pupils contracted suddenly, and he suddenly realized something, but he was still a little unsure.
What does "identity" mean by Meya? Is it just a simple hotel management, or does it mean something special?
