Chapter 10 Boarding the ship
It was past midnight, and the city that had been hustle and bustle all day seemed to run out of energy and slowly fell silent. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoShak tucked the corners of the quilt for the sleeping Molissa, then walked over to the floor-to-ceiling window and gently pushed it open.
This is the best five-star hotel in the city, the seventh floor of Oderila. Although the security system is very tight, there are usually no surveillance probes installed in private locations such as the window directly facing the bedroom bed.
The Michael must go up and check it out as soon as possible, especially from the fact that someone is deliberately obstructing the investigation of the case, this is not as simple as Sheriff Raymond jokingly called 'helping the noble lady catch the junior', and Shaq can't really wait until the three days after Lawrence promised.
Since the conventional route doesn't work, Shaq also has his own unconventional means.
After taking a general look at the surroundings, Shak stepped out with a gentle step, like a large bat, extending the shadow of the outer wall, and quickly slid to the ground.
The weather tonight was surprisingly good, with a full moon hanging high, and although there was a slight mist, it could not completely hide the pedestrians. Greeting the damn good weather, Shak tightened his disguised woolen coat and waved down a passing taxi.
At night, the Wulf quay is still bustling with activity, and the high-powered lighthouse illuminates the area as if it were daytime. A large number of workers drive some special machinery and crane arms to load, unload and sort out a large number of goods.
The same is true near the Migaal, although there seem to be more people in charge of security than other ships in comparison. And the burly and tall security guards were vigilantly pressing their waists, and there were obviously hidden magic weapons such as firearms.
The Migar is a smuggling ship, and the proprietor behind it is the biggest gang in the city, the Tony Brotherhood, and in this Morbock city, even the chief of the police station has to give them three points of thin face, so he dares to occupy the docks so openly to do their secret deals.
Shak has no interest in the Tony Brotherhood's smuggled goods, but that doesn't mean that when he sneaks in, they'll be merciful enough to let him go. That's why he's been trying to get permission to get on board.
The taxi pulled up on a road around the lake five kilometres from the pier. After paying the fare and watching the taillights of the hovercar disappear far into the mist, Shakli took off his coat, turned it to ashes with a lighter, and then leaned over the roadside fence and jumped into the dark water.
For tonight's operation, Shak has changed into the Medium Devil-level armor he stole from Durag. There is no model of the standard magic armor, and the specially treated magic armor will automatically adjust to the size of the owner. Although the armor had been damaged in many places during previous battles, Shaq spent two hours disassembling some parts from his own armor and repairing them, which was not too difficult for him to face all kinds of difficulties alone.
Shak has good water skills, and with the assistance of magic armor, he is very fast in the underwater, and after only ten minutes, he gradually touches the illumination range of the dock lighthouse.
Under the cover of aquatic plants, Shak avoided two patrol boats of the dock sheriff's office in succession, and unknowingly touched the port side of the Michael.
With its back to the dock, the hull of the ship obscures the lights, and although the ship's guards occasionally sweep their searchlights towards the water, there are still many blind spots in the field of vision.
Shak took a slight breath, and then quietly attached himself to the hull of the Michael with the force of the waves. Without the help of other tools, he reached for the outer hull with his bare hands. With the power bonus provided by the magic armor, his ten fingers easily slashed into the metal hull, and then the whole person was like a gecko, quickly climbing up, and the whole process did not even make much sound, and in the rough harbor, the occasional strange noise would not attract anyone's attention.
Climbing the side of the ship with one hand, Shaq reached for a needle-sized probe, and the situation on the deck was clearly reflected in the window on his visor.
On the spacious deck, groups of guards patrolled back and forth, and even near the entrance to the cabin, in addition to two heavily armed fixed-point sentry, two intelligent guard probes were installed, and except for a few people dressed as workers carrying boxes of unknown things in and out of there, no one else could sneak up on them.
Through the shadow of the edge of the ship's side, Shaq moved his body cautiously, and the miniature probe slowly rotated at an angle, when suddenly, a gap caught his attention.
The focus of the camera adjusted, and Shaq could see clearly that it was a down-down gangway, but this gangway did not lead to the interior of the cabin, but only to a small platform that resembled a lookout.
The reason why Shak paid attention to this place was that the guards here were relatively weak, perhaps because there was no hatch for passage where the platform came into contact with the cabin, so not only was there no fixed sentry here, but even the patrolling guards would not walk around here for at least twenty minutes.
Concealed angles, dim light, and weak guards are definitely the best place for Shak to break through, and whether there is a passage or not is really not a matter of worry.
The glare of the searchlight slowly swept over Shak's hiding place, and while the light had just turned through the darkness for a moment, Shaq rolled over and jumped onto the deck. There were also some goods piled up here that hadn't had time to be moved, and Shak crouched down slightly with his back against one of the boxes.
It was at least five metres from the descending gangway, an unobstructed clearing, well-lit, and to make matters worse, two patrols passing by every five minutes. Even Shak, who had the assistance of magic armor, could not have traversed such a distance without knowing it in such a crowd.
After a moment's thought, Shaq pulled a small stack of bills from his bosom. This is the change that you find after shopping in the afternoon, the face value is different, and the face value is also new and old, and it looks no different from the change in the wallet of any ordinary person.
In a trick, a stack of banknotes flew out against the ground, until it hit a corner wall before "clicking" and scattering to the ground. Just as the beam of the searchlight swept over the place, the small pile of change suddenly fell into the eyes of most people.
"Uh, I'm so sorry, it's my pocket that is broken, hehe, I'll pick it up right away." A horse-faced man rolled his eyes and immediately stepped forward to pick it up.
"Damn! Jonathan, you cunning fox, you are clearly patrolling the Eastern Front, how can your money fall here! Apparently most of the people were not stupid, and immediately a dark-skinned orc stood in front of him, and he pointed to his nose with his thumb and said, "This is my patrol area, apparently I fell off!" ”
"Fart! Roman, you idiot, do you have any money left in your pocket? Is it your dad who almost lost his underwear in the casino last night? ”
"! Wells, are you better than Lao Tzu? I'm afraid that the little salary you TMD every month will be filled into the crotch of the female cousin! ”
"At least more than you have left, oh, like the ones on the ground...... ! Pete, you pig! Put the money down for Lao Tzu! ”
"Those who see have a share, why ...... Yes! ”
A small skirmish soon broke out, and four or five big men scuffled together, and the commotion immediately attracted the attention of everyone nearby. There were friends from both sides who came to help, there were those who stepped forward to persuade the fight for the sake of the overall situation, there were also those who were not afraid of the excitement and shouted to fan the flames, and even the large searchlight that had been strafing back and forth in the vicinity moved the beam in that direction.
And at this moment of alternating light and darkness, no one noticed, and a black shadow quickly rushed out of the gap between the two cargo boxes, and disappeared at the exit of the gangway in a flash.
