Chapter 110: Follow the vine and touch the melon

After some discussion, Gu Yun and An Ling decided to go their separate ways.

An Ling stayed in the spa to "purify" the water, and although there was a mistake in the reasoning that Xiao Ying was a disguise of the Shapeshifter, she still thought that the Shapeshifter must have other plans for leaving the transformed slime in the office, so she first needed to ensure the safety of the beta participants.

A few minutes later, Gu Yun returned to his room.

Kate King did not participate in any group activities after lunch and went straight back to the dorm, showing that he was unhappy that the trap he had carefully laid did not work.

"Either the shapeshifter doesn't exist at all, or it's cunning enough to anticipate in advance that a witcher will follow."

Hearing footsteps stopping at the door of the room, Kate Kimtou said without looking back, while fiddling with the keyboard with both hands.

The problem is getting more and more intractable.

The Division of Anomalies in the Americas has more than once raised a grim phenomenon - in this day and age, the supernatural creatures that have fought the witchers for centuries have evolved, and they have learned to gather intelligence, set traps, and even join forces to form communities.

And the really scary part is that they don't know what stage the current monster has evolved, and they can't be sure if the experience they have learned in the past will still work.

"What are you doing?"

"Try hacking into this building's surveillance system."

As a professional witcher, Kate King has learned some hacking techniques in order to gain information in unfamiliar areas, but this time he faces Ren Hell's security team, and the real technicians are much better than half-baked hackers like him.

Nearly an hour had passed since lunch, and he still hadn't figured it out.

"It was the manager of the spa, and we found the slime that had fallen off in her office."

This time, Kate King stopped what she was doing.

It was indeed an important clue that at least identified the target they were looking for, and it was still hidden somewhere in the building.

It's just that the identity of the spa manager should have long since become invalid.

"In the previous record of the Changeling, the Changeling changed its identity 21 times in 10 hours, and finally almost escaped as the sheriff, and if you didn't catch it red-handed, it could have become anyone now."

The hotel's security guards, the cleaners on each floor, the chefs in the restaurant, and even a member of Dr. Lau's security team.

There are too many possibilities, because this building is full of idlers and so on at the moment, which is simply a natural umbrella for the shape-changing monsters.

"The plan I discussed with An Ling is this, we can find a way to find today's surveillance footage and see where it was last seen."

This is also the reason why Gu Yun plans to pull Kate Jin into the gang, because he really has no talent for electronic equipment, even if the security guard gives him the surveillance video equipment to operate, he can't find which button is the button to call up the video.

"I'm trying, but don't expect too much, in order to prevent the content of this closed beta from being leaked, Ren Hell's cybersecurity team has taken over the building's cybersecurity system."

"But I remember that as long as I could touch the console, I could bring up the video directly."

"That's for sure, but the problem is that we can't touch the console at all."

In addition to the health and safety team and the network security team, Ren Hell also hired a first-class security team with a high salary this time, and the entire floor where the monitoring center is located is a forbidden area, and it is also clearly stated in the "Check-in Instructions" that those who trespass on the monitoring floor will be immediately disqualified from the internal test.

Kate King is a professional witcher, but that's limited to fights with supernatural creatures, and the security guards who are more than two meters tall and muscles are about to stretch the suit apart are not the type he is good at dealing with.

One-on-one is barely able to cope, if two or three rush up together, then he can only go directly to the ground, at the mercy of the other party.

"And all the passages to the monitoring center are closely monitored, and we are already exposed to each other's vision before we even enter."

Without the support of any intelligence or team, let alone him, even professionally trained agents may not be able to infiltrate the building's monitoring center.

Although the success rate of using this computer to break the firewall is not high, it is at least much better than rushing into the monitoring center recklessly.

"If you really want to find that shapeshifter, I advise you not to act rashly - breaking into the monitoring room will only disqualify you from the closed beta and be swept away by the closed beta team of Ren Hell, which is exactly what it is most happy to see."

Faced with such a situation, Kate King has become accustomed to it.

In other words, this is an important part of the battle of wits and courage against the shape-changing monsters.

The monster can take on the form of anyone, so it would be incredibly easy for them to infiltrate, so in this case, Kate King is sure that the shapeshifter has a lot more information than they do.

At worst, the shapeshifter is likely to be in the surveillance room right now, watching everyone's every move.

"Then let's wait for you to crack it first."

Gu Yun thought about it and felt that there was some truth in what Kate King said.

Past experience has taught him that when it comes to the paranormal, ordinary people are absolutely more stubborn than they can imagine—they would rather give away the head of an evil spirit than consider the possibility of an evil spirit actually existing.

Ren Hell's team doesn't seem to be very communicative.

In fact, Gu Yun has long given up the problem of communicating with ordinary citizens, even in today's increasingly common paranormal phenomena, not everyone can accept the sudden appearance of supernatural creatures in their lives.

"There should be another way, though."

Kate King tapped on the keyboard again, and the gibberish on the screen made him dizzy and dizzy, and suddenly an idea appeared.

"You said earlier that you bumped into the slime left by the shapeshifters with the spa staff, and maybe we can use this to help."

"How?"

"They are all staff members of this hotel, and if she asks the manager about his whereabouts, there may be a windfall...... You ask her to relay the news of the manager's disappearance to the security team hired by Ren Hell to search for the whereabouts of the changeling - but you can't mention the changeling directly, it's likely to be hidden in the security team right now, so you need to behave as naturally as possible. ”

Even if there is no shape-changing monster, it is reasonable that the manager has been missing for a long time and cannot be contacted, which has caused the clerk to worry.

"In short, you have to find a way to convince that service person to cooperate with us, this is the method with the highest success rate at the moment."
