Section E Chapter 5: Infiltration (Seresya)

Three o'clock in the morning.

The second floor of the Beihai Lookout Post and Tavern. Sister Aya's bedroom.

Lucina sat on the bed and stared out the window with her sister. Having been looking at the clock since the beginning, the knight finally spoke after a long silence: "It's time." ”

"Hmm? The guards are indeed starting to change the guard. Swinging her legs dangling from the ground, Lucina exclaimed excitedly, "Mad dog." You've done a pretty job!"

"Isn't that nonsense?" Throwing the throwing knife, Seresa laughed proudly: "Otherwise, why do you think Lao Tzu wants you to go back to the tavern first?

Three o'clock in the morning is the most sleepy and slack time for normal humans...... Stopping to wipe the dagger in his hand, Mad Dog thrust it back into his waist: however, he doubted that the clones knew what exhaustion was.

"But why do you have to jump from the window? Chewing on the biscuits, Lucina said vaguely: "Wouldn't it be okay to go out quietly from the main gate after being invisible?"

"Don't tease me, you're as stupid as you are?!" sneering at Lucina's proposal, Mad Dog said impatiently, "I've investigated it before by going to the bathroom, and there has always been a guard's eyeliner in the hall. Moreover, the front and rear doors have been locked. Even if I steal the key and get out, won't people be suspicious right away?"

"That's right. Leaning closer to the window, my sister looked at the mad dog with a little worry: "However, I'm not at ease if I only let you go alone." Or I-"

"I want you uncle! Don't worry about Lao Tzu, do you hear? With your stealth ability, it's useless to follow it!" "Putting the flying knife back into the harness, Mad Dog looked at Lusa, who was hugging the ball tightly and sleepy: "Spying on intelligence and sneaking in secretly, you can rest assured that you can leave it to the professional." ”

"Then ......" Lucina still didn't seem to be at ease, and turned her head to look at her sister, "Then why don't you let Lusa go with you?" ”

"Hmm. Lusha seemed to suddenly come to her senses and nodded vigorously: "Brother, take me with you?"

"Forget it, see how sleepy you are...... Let's put your sister to sleep. Mad Dog shook his head and refused: "The fewer people involved in this kind of thing, the safer it is." Sneak in alone, so it's not easy to be discovered. ”

"Have you figured out how to come back?" the knight glanced out the window, "This group of guards is about to leave." ”

"It's easy to do. Approaching the windowsill, the mad dog stared at the dense snow mist: "Because of the snow stones, it is very convenient for me to run." As long as you pick up some brick joints and water chestnuts, you can climb directly to the second floor. Also, I don't know how long I'll be going. So you don't have to wait for me to come back. ”

"Climbing the wall like a monkey, what's the use of you asking for stairs?" Lucina pushed two biscuits into her and her sister's mouths, and Lucina removed the box, "Alright, let's go? I can see the shift guy coming with a torch." ”

"I don't need you to rush me. Pushing the window open, Mad Dog suddenly remembered a detail: "Oh, yes—remember, don't put out the candles in your bedroom." It doesn't matter what the living room is, anyway, which angle won't be seen by the watchtower. ”

"Huh?" Lucina didn't seem to understand at all, "Why?"

"Say you're stupid and you're still not convinced!" Tightening the knife belt, Mad Dog glanced at her disdainfully: "People think we have gone to bed at eleven o'clock, but there is always candlelight in our room." If you keep lighting it, it can be said that you are afraid of the dark and have a habit of sleeping with candles. But if the candle goes out after I'm gone, it's going to be suspicious. ”

"Wouldn't it?" Lucina wanted to say, "It can be understood that the candle has burned out? ”

"Why don't you just let it burn?" the mad dog snorted and pointed to the candlestick, "And you can see clearly, this is the famous Kame candle." If you want to burn most of it, you have to use it for another six or seven days. ”

"Ahaha...... That's right. With an awkward smile, Lucina seemed to want to say something more. Deliberately ignoring her, Mad Dog pushed open the window and looked at the watchtower: Very good, it is the gap between shifts, and no one has noticed this side yet. As long as you take this opportunity, you can leave the hotel quietly.

Leaning sideways out of the window, the mad dog lowered its body and leaped down. In order to ensure a smooth landing from the second floor, he performed a tumble before he was about to fall, and finally landed on his back.

Manipulating the bayonet invisibly, Seresa put her transparent hand close to her head to confirm that it had succeeded. With the sound of the howling wind, the mad dog slowed down and ran quickly to the target warehouse.

Leaning against the door of the warehouse, Mad Dog listened carefully to the faint sound of footsteps coming from inside: sure enough, there were patrolling guards inside.

If these people were clones, then the original guards would have died...... Recalling the copy of his own pretend, Mad Dog frowned: a guy who can directly transform into someone else's appearance shouldn't be everywhere. If you want to replicate so many guards, you can only freeze them in black ice.

If I'm not mistaken, these frozen corpses must be well preserved...... Relying on his instincts, Mad Dog thought that the ice cubes were hidden somewhere. And to accommodate the corpses of so many people, it is necessary to have a lot of storage space - naturally, this warehouse, which is usually locked doors, must be a good place.

Squatting slightly, the mad dog clinged to the wall and moved quickly to the back door. After gently pushing it, Seresa snorted disdainfully: sure enough, it had been locked from the inside. It's not that easy to get in.

Looking at the skylight on the high eaves, Mad Dog suddenly had an idea: he could climb the tree next to him and then jump next to the skylight.

Without hesitation, Mad Dog immediately went into action. Climbing the trunk of the tree with ease, he steadied himself and stepped on the thick branch to move forward.

After stealth, it's still hard to get used to...... Frowning, Ceresya glanced at her feet: Damn, after the feet are invisible, it always feels like they will step on the air at any time.

Rubbing the soles of his shoes to prevent slipping, the mad dog took a step back and sent out a short run. At the moment of stepping on the edge, he jumped and landed on the edge of the eaves in a thrilling manner.

Shaking her body to stabilize her center of gravity, Ceresya gasped nervously: she almost fell.

Through the window, Mad Dog peeked carefully into the darkened warehouse: there were many boxes stacked directly below the skylight, and it seemed to be a dead end. After a long period of observation, he finally decided on one thing—the patrolling lantern guards would hardly walk into the place, and at most glance at it as they passed by.

Finally, after watching another soldier walk by, Mad Dog quickly lifted the skylight and tied the string he had prepared in advance to the handle. After tying a slipknot, he lifted his invisibility and quickly jumped into the house with a string.
