Chapter 18: Infiltration
"What are the next action arrangements...... Ouyang Gu thought for a moment and said, "Ah Ye, did Chen Siyun mention to you before that he was in contact with someone at that time?"
Liu Ye's thoughts suddenly returned to that morning more than three months ago.
"'Tears' are people with tears!" After a short silence, Liu Ye exclaimed.
"Who are 'tears'?" Tang Yin asked, leaning back on the sofa and raising an eyebrow at them.
"It's a technology company, and their people approached Chen Siyun three months ago to sign him up and invest in his research projects. Liu Ye said, "That was a bit of an unrealistic idea, and it had been many years before he finally found a company that he was willing to invest in." ”
"But now that the contract has been signed, it's unlikely that he'll be kidnapped again. Shi Lan bit her lip, "Why take such a big risk? Obviously, you just need to wait for Chen Siyun to find the door by herself." ”
"This ......" Liu Ye was speechless for a while, Shi Lan's words were not unreasonable, and 'tears' seemed to be unnecessary to use illegal means.
"Speaking of three months ago, Shilan, and Mr. Smith. Ouyang Gu leaned against the wall with his hands in his pockets, his sunglasses covering his eyes, "When you came back then, it seemed that you had an accident?"
"Well," Shilan said, "there is ......."
"No, it wasn't an accident. Smith interrupted Shilan, "It was an attack on us. ”
His words made Liu Ye's face sink, although he had already guessed, this was the first time he had heard such a positive answer. The official explanation given was that the sudden rupture of the underground pipeline produced a powerful shock wave that broke through the ground and knocked away the truck that was driving above, and the photos at the scene also confirmed the fact that the ground exploded, but he always felt that the incident was too coincidental, like, it was like it was specifically to create chaos and create an opportunity for Shilan Smith and them to take Liu Ye away.
"Attack?" Ouyang Gu frowned, "This is even more strange, if you want to kidnap someone, an attack of this scale is very likely to accidentally cause the death of the target, unless...... Unless their target is not Chen Siyun. Mr. Smith, do you know who the other person is?"
"I don't know, I chased it out, but I didn't find anything. Smith shook his head slightly, "And there is no trace of magic at the scene, maybe the other party is not a magician at all." ”
"Ahem," Tang Yin cleared his throat and said lazily: "Based on the existing information, 'Tears' is the primary target of our investigation, and of course, the other line, that is, the operator of the truck attack, we also have to track down." Xiao Lan and Xiao Gu, the two of you are responsible for infiltrating the inside of 'Tears' to investigate, Fourier and I are going to track down another wave of people, and Zeng Chen stays in the safe house to provide us with intelligence and technical support, so it's decided. As for you, Mr. Smith," Tang Yin turned, "just decide what you want to do, I don't have the authority to arrange for you to work." ”
A few people nodded, no objections.
"Eh, me...... What about me?" Liu Ye raised his right hand, "Sister Tang Yin, you didn't assign me a task." ”
"You ......" Tang Yin pursed her lips, "You don't have much experience, just stay here and accompany Zeng Chen." ”
"I think," Liu Ye clenched his fists and made up his mind, "I want to do infiltration work." Chen Siyun is my friend, I have to do my part in this matter, I, I want to save him myself!"
"Liu Ye," Tang Yin slowly stood up, walked up to Liu Ye who was sitting on the ground, bent down and looked into his eyes and said, "Do you think that staying here is not contributing? If you want to say this, Zeng Chen will be angry." ”
"I, I didn't mean that. Liu Ye leaned back slightly, and Tang Yin had a strong violet fragrance on his body, "I just feel ......"
"Okay, okay," Tang Yin stood up straight and waved his hand, "You can go with Xiaolan Xiaogu and them, Shilan doesn't have much experience, Ouyang Gu will take care of you." ”
Two days later, at 1:10 a.m., it rained heavily.
Mu Shilan, Liu Ye, and Ouyang Gu wore black cloak-style raincoats and long rain boots, standing on the edge of the roof of a residential building, looking at the building opposite.
Wind and rain, dazzling lightning flashed in the sky from time to time, silver-white electric light continued to illuminate the giant sign of the opposite building, and the dark red "TEARS" seemed to be written in blood in the thick night, which was very terrifying.
Liu Ye looked around, and many of the buildings on the side were still lit.
"After three minutes, there will be a three-hour power outage in a one-kilometre radius, and at the same time, the backup generator sets inside the 'tears' will be activated to keep the anti-theft system working, but the lights will not work. At the same time, Zeng Chen would send a virus to Tears's anti-theft system, which would paralyze the server for thirty seconds, and we would take advantage of this gap to enter the company through the side door of the building with wind shadow magic. Ouyang Gu said, his face buried in the shadow of the hood of his raincoat, and only his jaw, which was as sharp as a knife, could be seen.
"Remember, once you're inside the company, you can't use magic unless you have to. Ouyang Gu looked at the two people beside him, "Before we are sure that the other party has kidnapped Chen Siyun, we must not reveal our identity, and even if we find him, we will try to bring him out in a way that does not attract attention." Mr. Yan has emphasized that there are unforeseen dangers for magicians to reveal their identities in the city. So, it's important to remember that you can't use magic until you have to. ”
"Yes. Liu Ye and Shi Lan replied in unison, but their hands under their raincoats were trembling slightly, and they were very nervous.
"Three, two, one. With the countdown of Ouyang Valley, the lights in the surrounding area disappeared in an instant, and darkness engulfed everything in an instant.
"Hands-on. Ouyang Gu jumped down, his body turned into a black whirlwind, and went straight to the side of the building.
Shi Lan and Liu Ye glanced at each other and jumped down.
In the guardhouse on the first floor, three people in security uniforms are fighting the landlord around the table.
Just as it was over, the guard facing the wall of the surveillance screen yawned, squinted his eyes and saw that all the screens were actually pitch black, frowned and thought about it, and then jumped up in fright.
"Hey, what's wrong? ”
"Supervisor...... Surveillance is gone. He stammered as he pointed to the screen.
"Huh?" The two people sitting across from him looked back in the direction he pointed, there was nothing abnormal, and the picture had all been restored, "You see the flowers, isn't this good? ”
The man touched the brim of the guard's hat in confusion and sat back down with a little trepidation.
"Eh, don't think about it so much, there's nothing to steal in the company, not to mention that all the doors in all rooms have electronic locks, you're just too sleepy to hallucinate. The two guards sitting across from him patted him on the shoulder and comforted him.
On the other side, Ouyang Gu and the three of them walked through a window and stopped in a deep corridor, Liu Ye and Shi Lan leaned on the hood of their raincoats and leaned against the wall panting.
Ouyang Gu turned the bracelet on the wrist of his right hand, projected a map on the wall, and said softly: "This is the map inside the company, there are a total of thirty-six floors on the ground, the underground part is unknown, and now there are people working on the seventh, eleventh, and nineteenth floors, and we are now in the corridor south of the fifth floor, which is the dead end of the monitoring, and the end of the corridor is the staircase." Zeng Chen on the ground had already checked it with a micro drone, and there was nothing suspicious. Our focus is on the underground part," he pointed to the bottom half of the map, "Entering the underground experimental area requires an ID card with advanced privileges, so we'll need to go to the general manager's office on the 35th floor to find it." ”
"What should I do if I can't find it?" Liu Ye said, "This kind of card is usually carried with you." ”
"Can't find it. Ouyang Gu stared, "Then you can only use space magic." ”
"It's too dangerous to use space magic when the terrain is unknown!" Shilan snapped.
"There's no way around it, it's better than robbing the company's management directly. Ouyang Gu put on his hood, "Let's go, I'll take you on a road that can't be seen by surveillance." ”
The hallway was quiet, and the dark night filtered in through the windows, eroding the safety lights that were not bright. Walking up the stairs, the sound of rain boots touching the steps echoed in the empty stairwell, knocking Liu Ye's tense nerves one by one.
"Whew-whew-" The accelerating heartbeat made Liu Ye gasp for breath, and the strong tension made the muscles of his calves twitch slightly, and he almost used all his strength to keep up with Ouyang Gu's pace.
"Ah Ye, don't be so nervous. Ouyang Gu suddenly stopped leaving, he turned around and showed a confident smile to Liu Ye, "If you really want to be discovered, it's a big deal to fight out, and then we will go back to Century Dawn immediately." ”
"Hehe......" Liu Ye smiled very reluctantly, but Ouyang Gu's words made his heartbeat gradually slow down, and that tension also became a little lighter.
Shi Lan also silently walked next to Liu Ye and walked up side by side with him.
"It's here. Ouyang Gu stopped, in front of him was a two-meter-wide automatic door, it seemed to be the same material as the corridor, the color was exactly the same, if it weren't for the green indicator light jumping on the door frame, he wouldn't even be able to tell that there was a door here.
"There are also electronic locks, let's ......" Before Liu Ye's words fell, the door in front of him suddenly opened!
Ouyang Gu's face changed, and he took a step back and jumped to the door, and in his bony hand hidden under the raincoat, a magic wand with a dark red light appeared.
"What are you nervous about, I drove it. Zeng Chen's voice suddenly sounded in the headphones of the three of them, "I hacked into the anti-theft system, but the system in the basement and the one on the ground are independent of each other, I'm still working hard, you can see if you can find any clues in the general manager's room first." ”
The three of them looked at each other, Shi Lan had an expression that wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, Ouyang Gu looked at Liu Ye embarrassedly, and Liu Ye also looked at Ouyang Gu embarrassedly.
Liu Ye pointed to the door and whispered, "Go in." ”
Ouyang Gu nodded, turned around and stepped into the thick darkness.
