Chapter 14: The First Sneak Without a Sense of Accomplishment

Relying on his magical ability named "Void Perception", Mo Chen groped his way down from the top floor of the building, and easily avoided some simple traps and patrolling and guarding guards along the way.

The skill tree in the game is different from each other, but one generation has "Eyes of Darkness" and the second generation has "Perspective", and there doesn't seem to be much difference in general.

And after truly obtaining the ability brought by the Outsider Mark, Mo Chen also received the information transmitted by it, knowing that there is no such setting as a skill tree in reality.

The ability of the person who has the mark is different, but it is only due to its own reasons.

But except for the rat boy, who is mainly specialized in summoning animals and manipulating rats, other people such as Uncle Morality, Corvo, and Emily have similar abilities.

The ability to "move" and the ability to "perceive" seems to be some kind of foundation.

What kind of abilities you can develop beyond this foundation depends on your personal aptitude and imagination. After all, they are all from the power of the Void Realm, which is where all supernatural phenomena begin.

Theoretically, this means that anyone who has the Mark of the Outsider is burning porcelain.

However, the clay embryos used by everyone are all taken from the same place, and there is no difference in nature, and the reason why everyone will fire different porcelain is only because everyone's ideas and craftsmanship are different.

It is not a problem with the clay embryo itself, which is capable of firing any porcelain.

Of course, as long as you put in enough energy, or collect enough ancient runes, then it's like getting other clay embryos, burning your own porcelain, and being able to imitate other people's porcelain.

There were no restrictions in this regard, so Mo Chen knew that he could also develop various other skills, as long as he could pay a sufficient price.

However, as far as the current experience is concerned, it seems that the two skills are enough for the time being, and Mo Chen can't adapt to it no matter how much he does.

……

……

Void Sense can sense enemies through walls or ceilings, allowing you to spot traps and defenses in advance, as long as the density of enemies in the building isn't particularly heartbreaking.

Then relying on such an ability with "flickering teleportation" is completely enough to be unaware.

As he was now, like a ghost, he approached the destination of the mechanical heart with swiftness and agility, but no one noticed it. Of course, it didn't all go well, because of his lack of experience, he was almost exposed several times along the way.

It also made him fully aware of the real difference between himself and the protagonists of the game.

Uncle Daode was certainly not born a legendary assassin, and the section chief himself is a royal guard and spy minister, and his own skills are naturally quite good. Emily, on the other hand, was trained by her father since she was a child and became a first-class assassin.

Mo Chen has not carried out any targeted training, and has not mastered any stealth, dodge and sneak attack skills.

Even the only experience that can be called "fighting" is not long ago, although he directly completed the two achievements of counter-kill and double kill, but that kind of desperate experience in addition to making him no longer overly nervous and able to act decisively.

There is no bonus to the stealth ability that is now required.

And this building is also heavily guarded, but it has just experienced a brutal massacre, and many elites in suits and leather shoes, ladies and gentlemen who look like dogs, are now lying in a pool of blood.

Perhaps because it was close to a major intersection on the side of the street, a lot of guards were sent to guard it, but the main ones were to guard the rooms with street windows.

This gave Mo Chen's infiltration a great convenience and opportunity.

He walked along the way, and really saw a lot of tragic situations, but he didn't pay much attention to it...... Because along the way, the mechanical heart in his hand never stopped talking.

To be precise, not to speak, but to utter some kind of whisper that ordinary people can't hear.

It judges the secrets of the hearts of those who are nearby, and even the crimes committed by people who have just died. The game usually only works for the living, but now, it seems that as long as people have not been dead for a long time, they can still spy on the secrets of their souls.

It is precisely because of this that Mo Chen can't even sympathize with the corpses on the ground in many rooms in this building, so he naturally doesn't care much.

It's as if I've just seen a corpse, but before I have time to be shocked or sympathetic, the heart in my hand is whispering to you—

This man was a banker and a man of many crimes, and not long ago he had defrauded an elderly couple of their house and caused the couple to commit suicide by poisoning in despair......

So all of a sudden, Mo Chen suddenly felt that this guy was not a pity to die at all, and he couldn't help but have to make up for the corpse with two whips.

Along the way, he discovered that none of those gentlemen and ladies were innocent.

But it is precisely like this, and slowly Mo Chen naturally knows that this building seems to be a ...... Bank?

Of course, it wasn't the concept of a financial institution like the World Bank in his own side, but he thought about it and couldn't come up with a better word, so he felt that it was the most appropriate word to be called.

And the destination he is approaching should be the underground vault - all kinds of illegal or ostensibly illegal people, registered or bearer accounts, let the bank help them keep or transfer goods.

So he also understood why the mechanical heart was directing here.

For the sake of fun and to control the growth path without over-inflating the stats, each map will only design a fairly limited number of ancient runes or bone charms, and the locations are unbelievable and difficult to collect easily.

But it's a game, so it's not very realistic.

It's like the coins in the game are scattered all over the place, and it takes a lot of effort to collect enough to upgrade equipment, weapons, and skills.

However, if it is in reality, if you can still improve yourself through money, then it is obviously impossible to improve yourself by picking up garbage, but it is enough to rob the bank directly.

In the same way, if it was a truly magical ancient rune or bone talisman, Mo Chen didn't think that they would be scattered among the people waiting to be collected by himself.

Most of them will surely fall into the collection of those in power......

Today's banks are just one of the safekeeping locations.

The door to the basement was unguarded, it was just open, and the shouting could be faintly heard below.

Mo Chen wasn't surprised by this, after all, if these guys were really just maintaining order, blocking the road or something, they wouldn't have engaged in massacres.

It can only be said that during the coup d'état, some people promised some terrible rewards in order to win over these soldiers or bandits. For example, the blockade of this area does not allow anyone to travel, but allows them to massacre, plunder wealth, or something......

Now it is understandable that in addition to the necessary guards, the leader must have gone to the vault with his henchmen to share the spoils.

But it's good that a rabble like them is the most convenient way to do things, and that way they don't have to go to the trouble of finding the key to the vault or something.

He didn't rush down, but circled around, confirmed how many enemies there were in this layer, and considered the range of risks he could tolerate.

Then I followed the stairs, slowed down, and slowly groped my way down.

The underground vault is designed with safety in mind, and it is not only full of twists and turns, but also has many traps. There are even a lot of roads that are unnecessary, and the place where they lead is purely an alarm booth -

A room that you thought was okay will be locked up as soon as you walk in, and a shrill alarm will go off.

In addition, there are other more dangerous security measures, such as arc towers, which can block off an entire road or a room, and use whale oil to generate electricity for as long as an intruder is identified.

Then in the next second, the intruder will be directly decomposed by the arc and turned into ashes.

There is also the strange light curtain technology, which is specially designed to block the road, not as domineering as the arc tower, which can kill people in the air, but ordinary people can't break through at all.

Because it is like an energy shield, people with legal identity can pass through, and if they are not successfully identified, they will be directly decomposed by the current.

To be honest, Mo Chen always felt that this kind of technical level was a little unscientific, but this world was not very scientific in the first place, and it was a steampunk-style whale oil technology route, so he didn't bother.

Besides, because the group of soldiers and bandits had already entered the vault to loot, there was no need for Mo Chen to worry about these traps, checkpoints, and dangerous routes that confused people.

The advantage of walking behind others is that the problems in front of you are solved by the people in front of you.

He easily came to the door of the real vault, and behind the heavy door of the vault, the loud and noisy voices of the guards were also heard.

Mo Chen didn't come to the door to peek and observe, but used the ability of "Void Perception" again.

The all-round soul vision, instantly through the thick wall to see the scene clearly, it was a huge secret room, but it was not dark, the lights inside had been turned on, and more than a dozen guards were excitedly carrying some heavy objects.

Inside were huge safes, many of which were even embedded in the walls in order, but they were all opened at the moment.

Even if it is not opened, it should not be able to find the key, these rude bandits rob legally, naturally they don't care what means are used, prying or blowing up is acceptable.

All they wanted was their belongings, and they didn't intend to make the safe intact.

What Mo Chen saw was such a scene, those guys were panting, shouting and scolding, venting the excitement in their hearts, and constantly moving out all kinds of gold bars, silver nuggets and putting them in a pile.

There are also some antiques, famous paintings or something, they also have some eyesight, and they are also carefully placed on the other side.

As for the things that they didn't recognize at all, and which seemed to belong to garbage and debris, they were randomly piled aside, like a garbage heap, as if waiting to be cleaned up.

And Mo Chen felt that the frequency of the mechanical heart beating in his hand was stronger and more powerful, and the direction he pointed to was the pile of "garbage heaps".

After looking at it carefully, Mo Chen didn't know why, first breathed a sigh of relief, and then sighed.

I guess it's a subtle sense of disappointment when I see success just around the corner and feel a little bit of disappointment because it doesn't fit my imagination.

Just now, he was still racking his brains to think about how he was going to deal with the people inside and take away what he needed......

Only now did I realize that those guys inside had been completely carried away by the huge wealth, and they didn't have any vigilance at all, and their actions also helped them sort out useful runes and talismans.

All you have to do is quietly go in and take it away, and you're good to go.

They were red-eyed at the heavy gold and silver, and they didn't even notice that they had come in once.
