At about eight o'clock in the evening, Varina again came to the East Bailang dock in the docklands.

He was going to go after the Dockers' Association.

At night, the house belonging to the dock union bids farewell to the crowds and hustle and bustle of the day, and gives a sense of tranquility under the scarlet moonlight.

A few tipsy gangsters were in charge of the guards, who had recently arrived from the Workers' Union tavern.

They leaned against the lampposts of the gas lamps or sat on the wooden frames on which the goods were packed...... Only occasionally glance up at the empty streets.

This is not because they are negligent in their duties, but because the night guard itself is more form than substance.

Varina hides in the shadows of a corner, observes and looks for loopholes in the guards, and then plans a route to infiltrate based on what she knows during the day.

In the past, he would never dare to do this kind of thing, and he wouldn't even think about it. But now, he's not only doing it, he's making rapid progress.

With the help of dark vision, Varina's gaze gradually shifted from the street to the main body of the union's building, and finally to a half-open window on the second floor.

The route is clear.

Next, Varina started from the beginning, rechecked and dredged the route just taken.

This time he was far more careful and meticulous than before.

The key to the first pass is to find a route to enter, focusing on feasibility; The second pass builds on the first pass, and this time the main consideration is passability.

To put it simply, the first time I passed, Varina's focus was on "getting through". To exaggerate it, as long as you can walk theoretically, even if the action required to pass is to turn in the air for three and a half weeks and then pick up an inverted split, it doesn't matter, just be able to pass.

This is not the case for the second pass, Varina needs to combine her physical fitness to reduce obstacles as much as possible, and it is really difficult to avoid, and she also needs to find simple movements to pass.

Time passed in the gossip of the guards, and Varina finally found a good way to infiltrate.

Then it's time for the real adventure.

This scene resonated with some scenes from another of his memories, and Varina grinned, feeling something different kind of excitement.

"Heh, ghost sneak, the challenge begins."

Varina carefully navigated through the shadows of lampposts, sundries, and signboards, as planned, and soon approached the union's two-story yellow building.

He avoided the door on the first floor and came to the side of the small building. Between the small building and the building next door, there is a gap about one meter wide, where a large iron garbage bin is placed.

Varina tried hard and found the bin sturdy enough, so she climbed on top of it, as planned.

With the help of a large dumpster on tiptoe and a reflexive jump against the wall, he managed to grab the gas pipe erected on the outer wall, and then pulled himself up the pipe with both hands.

This kind of action is actually difficult for ordinary people to do quietly, and Varina can barely do it with the bonus of extraordinary traits.

It wasn't until he actually steadied himself on the pipe that Varina let out a soft breath.

"What sound?"

A guard sitting on the steps of the doorway heard some slight movement and turned his head to look.

"What else could there be, damn rat." Another guard took a sip and said, "Stinky rats only deserve to eat garbage!" ”

The previous guard nodded, giving up on getting up and looking.

Varina crouched on the gas pipe, feeling her whole body tremble slightly. This reaction is triggered by both the nervousness of fear of being found out and the thrill of a novel experience.

"It's a lot more fun than a game!"

Varina struggled to compose herself, while carefully moving her steps, little by little, approaching her target, the half-open window.

Soon, he felt under the window and heard the rustle of a pen rubbing against the paper.

Varina didn't know what was going on inside, so she didn't dare to peek in, so she continued to shrink into the shadows under the window edge and listen to the movements in the room.

After a long while, the chiming clock of "dang, dang ......" came from the bell tower not far away, nine in a row.

"Gee, it's already nine o'clock. Are your ledgers finished, York? ”

It was a lady who spoke, and it sounded like she was stretching.

"Today's ledger is very messy, and it will take a while." Another calm voice rang out, apparently Yorke replying.

"I've got some too," said the lady, and suddenly suggested, "why don't we go get a cup of coffee and rest for a while before we come back?" ”

"Okay, let's go."

After the sound of tables and chairs moving and the sound of footsteps in the distance, the room fell completely silent.

Varina waited a few more minutes before daring to probe, and the room was empty.

"What a shameful waste...... Don't they know how to turn off the lights? ”

Varina was so angry that he was so angry that he wanted to be wasted that the new gas lamp, which had been burning steadily and providing bright light, had been wasted, and he wanted to take them back for a lesson in thrift.

Anger is anger, but it's still important to get down to business.

Varina hurried inside, appearing in a large office with more than a dozen desks.

As he had seen during the day, the entrance to the office was directly opposite, connected by a hallway that ended in a bathroom and a wooden staircase leading to the first floor.

He walked through the space between his desks, intending to see what the rooms on both sides of the aisle were used for, and on the way, he also looked at the ledgers on the desks of the two of them.

Ha, as Susan described, Varina felt a little swollen after only a few lines.

The rooms on both sides of the aisle are marked with signs on the doors indicating their respective uses, including the president's office, a reference room, a utility room, a pantry, and a washroom.

The president's office is the largest of the rooms, and together with the information room, it occupies all the space on the right side of the aisle, while the rest of the rooms are relatively small and distributed on the left side of the aisle.

Obviously, the most exploratory place here is the president's office.

Varina walked around each door and found that, as he expected, the president's office was locked.

In addition to this, there were some other discoveries that surprised him.

The first is the data room.

According to his original reckoning, the data room should also be locked, except that the key could be found in the large office. But in reality, it was not locked at all, and it seemed that the so-called data room was even less valuable than he expected.

The other is the utility room.

This clutter room doesn't live up to its name, it should be called an arsenal.

In addition to the common household miscellaneous items placed in the front, Varina also found a variety of cold weapons such as daggers, iron rods, and wooden sticks, which were placed on a shelf in the corner like ordinary miscellaneous items.

He took an iron dagger with two blades on both sides, and then planned to find a way to enter the president's office first.
