Chapter 58: If you can be one step ahead of your opponent

The green thread for Jonah and the gray thread for Teo rushed towards the same point.

The kitten's movements are strange. It appears to be on the run, but a closer look reveals that its escape route is full of suspicions.

After hearing the keyword Black Auction, Lloyd thought that the next place for kittens to invade should be the police station or IBC Bank, after all, the former should have a record, and the latter can grasp the financial flow to a certain extent. But its second intrusion site is the library.

Well, it's not that it can't be explained, maybe it's a bidding meeting that has been around for a long time, and maybe you need to speculate with the newspapers of the time.

However, Kitten's third invasion location is the Guiding Store, which has not yet been officially launched.

In this way, it is a little difficult to understand.

Lloyd watched the figure of the kitten disappear again, and the next place to appear was actually the Lubacher Chamber of Commerce that had just connected to the Guiding Network......

A word came to mind.

Pleasure offenders.

The type of prisoner that is the most troublesome for the police.

In general, prisoners will have a "motive". It can be speculated with logic. For example, if A and B have a personal vendetta, then it is not difficult to infer that B will be assassinated by A, so as long as B is protected, A should be caught. In the same way, as long as A is not a fool, he will definitely choose the place with the highest success rate and the method with the highest success rate, he can think of it, and the police can naturally think of it.

But pleasure is different. Their purpose is to be pleasurable. And the police simply can't predict when they will be happy and what they will do, and they can't guess at all.

However, it is not quite like that.

According to Jonah, he prepared bait that would interest the kitten. Then it should also have its own logic, instead of running around aimlessly like this...... Damn, what went wrong?

Now kittens are more suitable for neuropathy than pleasure offenders.

Could it be ...... Is it pure randomness?

Lloyd couldn't help but start thinking about himself.

Rarely, this time Lloyd didn't think about "if it was a big brother" - when Guy died, the Guiding Network had not been officially put into use, and Guy certainly had no way to deal with it. So, this time Lloyd brought in himself.

First of all, what is a kitten?

Alone? Or more than one person?

It should be more than one person. At least two people. A person is a typical pleasure offender with his own preferences and concerns. The other person does not have these, and when he is chased again, he immediately changes to another person to give instructions.

So, what is the purpose of the kitten doing this?

Judging from the keyword of the Black Auction, it should be looking for some inside information...... No, the kitten didn't hack into Jonah's database in the first place, but was lured out by Jonah.

Was it simply because Jonah was provoked and wanted to go to his database and cause trouble? Or is it a deliberate attempt to pretend to be a trick? From the moment I saw the intelligence I was interested in, I was sure that I was being targeted?

No, no, the purpose is not important.

So, what is the kitten doing now?

Beat around the bush. It's going around in circles with us in a completely immediate way.

The kitten did this, did he know that on our side, what system of Tio's eternal world could not be used for a long time?

……

"What am I doing!"

Lloyd couldn't help but let out a low growl, his brows furrowed, his lovely face was full of anger, and the broken hair seemed to be infected by his anger, and there was no wind to spontaneously.

Lloyd's voice startled Theo, but her hand didn't stop.

No, no, Lloyd...... Now it's not about speculating on what it's doing...... But......

――――――――――――

"-- rather, what are we going to do next?"

The blue light of the screen dyed You's face a cold blue.

Although he was smiling, Yuki's expression didn't give the impression of smiling at all. It won't make people easy, it will only make people feel from their hearts that this guy has ulterior motives.

Just now, two people who were obviously in two places and had no communication, said the same thing. It's just that Lloyd is narrating himself in the first person, and You is explaining to Noelle and Ling in the third person.

This is the common disease of the wise. I always want to predict the opponent's action pattern and stay one step ahead of the enemy~"

With a pleasant ending note, You's shoulders kept swaying, as if he was forcing a smile.

However, this action was particularly obscene in Noelle's opinion.

"It's normal to anticipate the enemy's first opportunityβ€”don't you always do that?"

Bulging rhetorical question.

It wasn't that he had to stand up for Lloyd, Noelle just couldn't get used to his arrogant smile.

"Nope. I've never done that. I anticipate the enemy's next move and then respond in advance. It's not 'one step ahead of the enemy'. ”

You put away his smile and explained to her seriously. Although this explanation sounds like a quibble.

"If you can be one step ahead of your opponent...... Then failure is not far off. ”

You smiled gently, and Noelle suddenly expected that he might start to explain at length again, so he had no interest in asking. But the man started talking to himself.

"Anticipate the enemy's movements without interfering with his decision-making. It's based on letting him make a prediction and respond quickly. That's my policy. The advantage is that I can really control the opponent's actions, but the disadvantage is that if the prediction is wrong, it is meaningless. Wise men like Lloyd like to predict the enemy's movements, and then start to induce his decisions, start to sabotage his decisions, and even trap his movements with a whole new scheme. It looks like he's better than me. But...... This only makes the enemy know that his actions have been predicted. For stupid objects, Lloyd's approach is more effective. However, for the wise people, as long as they deliberately pretend not to see through and give false information, they can easily manipulate these wise people. ”

The more You talked, the happier he became, with a subtle smile on the corner of his mouth.

After spending so much time with You, Noelle could read the meaning of his smile somewhat.

This smile was full of mockery and cold killing intent.

Not quite right...... He must have a good relationship with Lloyd, huh? There's no reason to have such an expression on the face of a victory, right?

A woman in love is stupid and sensitive. Stupidity is the series of oolongs that Noelle had when she dated before, and sensitivity is that she is now keenly seeing through You's heart.

Ling also heard the meaning of the words, but she was not kind enough to stab Noelle. She deliberately didn't say it very thoroughly: "Big brother seems to be ...... It's not about the current thing. ”

"Hehe, you've seen it through. Ling, you like to be lively so much. Soon, you will be able to see one of the most lively scenes. Infernal Affairs or something. ”

"Huh? Then Ling is looking forward to it~"

Yu's smile has completely devoid of other meanings, only pure malice.

"If you dare to attack my woman, then I can only destroy him?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Do you think I'm going to let you go! ”

Noelle's Hand Knife!

The results are outstanding! Knocked down Yuki Tatsumi, who had a wicked face, all at once!

Following Noelle's strength, You's head suddenly lowered, his black hair spreading and flicking, and then returned to his original position as he raised his head. returned to the original position together, as well as You's expression. maliciously retreated, and returned to the smile that was indifferent to watching the excitement in the past.

"Haha, don't care~"

Noelle, who was playing a perfunctory manner, relocked his eyes on the screen.

"Almost. Lloyd must have drawn up a new battle plan. So, Ling, give me a hack into IBC Bank's most advanced security vault right away - quietly, of course, you know? ”

"Understand~ Sir!"
