Chapter 6: Preliminary Exploration of Information (II)
"Hey, buddy, isn't there a fire?"
When Zhou Yuan was holding a cigarette in a daze, a guy wearing a black top hat walked over.
"Oh, I really forgot to bring it, and I don't know what to do...... They are all people I don't know, so I'm embarrassed to speak. ”
The man in the top hat smiled and patted Zhou Yuan's shoulder: "What's so embarrassing about this? Come, I'll borrow you." ”
Then, the man in the top hat snapped his fingers slightly. A spark shrouded Zhou Yuan's cigarette, and then Zhou Yuan quickly picked it up and took a puff and lit the spark on the cigarette.
If you want to smoke specifically, Zhou Yuan still knows. Although he has no habit of smoking, after all, when he was in high school, Zhou Yuan also had a few contacts with the "same stream".
The props chosen by the Sky Hunter instructor are really careful...... I don't have the feeling I had in high school, and although it looks like a cigarette, the gas that burns out is no different from air, and there is no such thing as a cigarette.
In addition, this is a smoking room, and it is smoky and can't smell it, so you don't have to worry about revealing the stuffing at all.
In other words, the man in the top hat just now actually has the ability to control the flames......
"You're not here to attend the auction, are you? I can sense that you have other purposes...... Hawkers, don't make a noise, I'm not going to leak it. ”
The man in the top hat leaned against the wall, lowered his hat, and whispered.
"What's your purpose...... and besides, I'm just a bodyguard, what evidence do you have that I have another purpose?"
"Well...... My instincts have always been accurate. Since the purpose of both of us is not an auction, how about it, do you want to choose cooperation?"
Zhou Yuan squinted his eyes slightly. All the conversations here can be heard by Mikoto Misaka. Subsequently, it doesn't seem to be very difficult for Mikoto Misaka to relay it to Anna-senpai in some way.
Now the question is...... Can the other party believe it?
If it can be believed, then it can be a reliable help, but Zhou Yuan really can't see what is thinking under the other party's always smiling expression.
"What is your purpose, and what about your name?"
Zhou Yuan asked with a frown.
"My purpose, of course, is the valuable thing in this auction. Wouldn't it be exciting to steal the most expensive thing and run away in front of them after causing a commotion?"
All right...... Since the purpose of the other party is this, then there is really a possibility of cooperation. After this guy caused a commotion first, whether he succeeded or not, this matter would draw out the vast majority of Blackclaw's forces - otherwise, if Blackclaw had been stolen from his base, wouldn't it be a joke to take strict precautions?
In this way, when you and others track down what is hidden behind the auction, the resistance will be much less. And the actions of oneself and others will also divert some troops from the other side - it is clear that if the two sides cooperate, it is beneficial to both sides.
"Cut...... I'm moved by what you said. Besides, you haven't told me your name yet. ”
The man in the top hat shook his head: "I have a feeling...... If I tell you my name, you'll know who I am. ”
This guy's instincts are quite accurate. Judging from the fact that the other party can use flames, this guy is mostly a projection...... If it's a projection, although I can't remember who this guy who always has a smile on his face for a while, but the other party reports his name Zhou Yuan doesn't know yet......
Zhou Yuan's ten-year-long life in the dead house was basically in vain.
"Alright, let's stop contacting us now. I don't know you, and you haven't seen me, see you when it's time to act. ”
The man in the top hat waved his hand and quickly disappeared into the crowd.
What a strange guy. However, neither this guy nor himself revealed any important information to each other, so even if he was from Blackclaw's side, the impact was not very serious.
You know, this guy recognized at a glance that he had impure motives for coming here...... So if you really want to talk about influence, it's actually too late before this guy realizes that his motives are not pure.
"Well...... All right. On the right side of this room...... The one on the right is black, so let's take a look at it first. ”
Now Zhou Yuan's mobile phone map has been updated, and most of the black is occupied by the highlighted "auction venue". As a result, the remaining unlit portion of the map is quite limited.
Anyway, Zhou Yuan's ability, Kaija of the Remnant, can put himself into the highest state of almost invisible transparency, and can penetrate walls at will. During this time, you can use your abilities to explore the black areas on the map one by one.
Zhou Yuan pressed the cigarette in his hand in the ashtray next to the wall, and then took advantage of the fact that others were not paying attention, his body flashed directly, became transparent, and passed through the wall and left the room.
The right side of this room looks like a simple lounge, but it's empty and no one has come yet. After all, there are still nearly three hours before the auction starts, so most of the people haven't come yet.
Zhou Yuan looked around and continued to walk towards the next room. For the sake of safety, Zhou Yuan deliberately poked his head along the metal wall first.
There are two guards in black suits standing at the doorway here, both looking at the door. Obviously, these two people couldn't imagine that the metal wall behind them was more than thirty centimeters and someone could go all the way directly along the wall.
Most of the room is neatly arranged with metal shipping containers, numbered on them. Although Zhou Yuan was basically sure what was inside, he still glanced inside.
Well, Zhou Yuan looked at a few containers in a row, and finally determined that the things in this room were indeed auction items.
After manually lighting up the black room on the map, and then marking the notes of the auction items on it, Zhou Yuan quietly slipped back to the smoking room while others were not paying attention.
The cost of crossing the wall is still very large...... Just looking at a room actually consumed more than half of the energy on the arm. If you don't have the all-important Remnant Kaija ability, you won't be able to do the work of exploring the room yourself......
It's time to finish a cigarette, so let's go back and rest first.
Zhou Yuan straightened up and walked towards his room.
