Chapter 886 Midnight Phantom
Before the guide ladder was closed, Royd used the search officer's keen observation to keep all the security arrangements in the hall in mind.
‘Four people in front of the gate, two people in front of the guide ladder, two people in the safety passage, and the rest of the people were scattered in the hall, among which 12 members of the guards sat in casual clothes in the booth to monitor, and there was a dedicated lounge area next to the hall.’
Royd focused on the security passage. The protection of the RF building at night should be relatively weak, and it is impossible for more than 20 soldiers to patrol back and forth in the hall at any time.
Lixia's initial plan is to go directly to the 14th floor where Fairy Technology is located through a safe passage. After rescuing Liv, she can be taken away from this cage-style building as quickly as possible through the high authority of the full-floor pass.
After arriving at the eighth floor, Royd submitted a request for big data inquiry to the Epstein Consortium Branch in an official manner.
‘The guards on this floor are relatively weak. I don’t know what other floors are like. When you go downstairs, go to the IBC Securities Hall on the second floor to take a look.’
There are only less than 10 members of the Guards on the 8th floor, and most of them are concentrated in the office area of the Epstein Consortium Branch.
After finishing the work, Royd passed back to the guide ladder, and seemed to have clicked down the second floor as if he was wrong.
"Ah... I pressed the wrong one."
Knowing that there was a surveillance camera in the guide ladder, Royd patted his head in dismay, and then pressed a button on the floor.
"bite"
When he reached the second floor, Royd did not walk out of the guide ladder, but directly pressed the closing button.
However, in the seconds before the closing, he had already scanned his eyes across the securities hall.
‘Although there are more than 8 floors, according to the layout of these two floors, the rest of the unimportant floors should not exceed 20 people.’
Next, Royd continued to conduct investigations in accordance with the order of previous declarations.
What he investigated this time was only a not-so-important civil case. The Search Section has now been completely ruled out of the core area of the search. Even Dudley, the ace search officer, could only do some civil work in doing odd jobs.
At 18 o'clock in the evening, when the lights were on, Royd, who had been working hard for a day, returned to the Support Department Building.
Although the Support Section was disbanded, the building has not been seized for the time being, and Royd and former section chief Selgei can still use it.
Seeing Royd walk into the house, the people who followed him secretly gradually dissipated, leaving only a few secret whistles to continue monitoring the situation of the Support Department Building.
At 2 o'clock in the evening, this is the first critical point that humans are most likely to get sleepy in theory.
Several members of the guard team responsible for guarding the Support Department Building were slightly relaxed. After all, Royd's usual life was too regular and there was no abnormality at all.
The only irregularity was the meeting with Dudley at the back alley bar yesterday.
However, Dudley used to often go to Garland Bar to drink, and this time he had nothing to notice about the juniors, at least the Guards failed to catch any handle.
On the rooftop of the Support Science Building, a faint shadow flashed by, and the members of the guards responsible for monitoring did not respond.
The shadow took out a card from under the gate leading to the building from the rooftop. The light from the crescent moon hanging in the night sky casting on the roof seemed to be slightly distorted, and the roof of the Supporting Science Building returned to peace again.
The location of the RF branch building is the original site of the IBC building that was blasted by the Red Constellation two years ago. It is located in the north of the Harbor District, on the banks of the Feather Fan River.
Due to the special design of the building, the entire building has only one entrance.
The four members of the guard team holding the latest type of guide gun in front of the door were staring at the gentle slope passage ahead with bright eyes.
"Um?"
One of them seemed to see a twisted shadow in the blink of an eye, but when he opened his eyes again, nothing returned, and the colleagues around him did not react.
‘Illusion.’
The Guards Corporal failed to notice that although his three colleagues were still standing, their eyes were closed and their movements seemed very stiff.
Without leaving much time for him to think, the corporal felt a slight stinging pain on the back of his neck. When he was about to call for an enemy loudly, he found that he could not open his mouth, and soon closed his eyes and lost consciousness.
A black shadow appeared in front of the brightly lit building, slightly checked the four guards standing in the spot with stiff body, and then disappeared again.
"Swish"
The automatic sensing door at the gate opened, and all the guards in the hall looked up at the door.
Seeing that four colleagues were still standing at the door with their backs facing them, the members of the Guards did not take the door seriously.
A sergeant yawned and said, "It should be a sensor system failure. It's not the first time it's happening."
The black shadow escaped from the invisible state of the moonlight butterfly and quietly hid behind a large potted plant and looked at the security layout in the hall.
‘As sure as Officer Royd reported, it was much more relaxed than the daytime alert.’
Lixia, wearing a mask, looked at the lounge area and the entrance to the security passage in the hall.
It is impossible for humans to break through their own limits and always remain vigilant. Many of the guards in the rest area are already asleep on the table, and there is only a five-man team patrolling the hall with guns.
Lixia quietly bypassed the patrol team's walking route, and Lixia moved quickly in the hall silently, using her own stealth skills and the soldiers' visual blind spots to sneak into the rest area.
In the rest area where the gate was half open, more than a dozen members of the guards were sitting or wading and dozing.
Lixia took out a small gray bottle from the black leather armor's chest, pulled out the bottle plug, held her breath and placed it in the door of the rest area.
The bottle emits a colorless and odorless gas, a volatile and powerful sleeping medicine specially made by Lisha.
The members of the Guards, who were already in poor spirits, soon fell asleep under the influence of this gas.
Next, it was easy to deal with. Retrieve the medicine bottle and Lixia patiently waited until the patrolling team of five people passed by the rest area. She accurately threw a flying needle with efficient paralysis and sleeping medicine from the shadow and stabbed them into their necks with the fastest blood circulation.
The five people stood there without saying a word. Five pairs of eyes struggled and turned, but finally closed their powerlessness.
In order to avoid the two guards in front of the safety passageway and the guide ladder finding that something is wrong, Lixia approached the guide ladder at a high speed at a silent pace.
The two soldiers guarding the guide ladder felt a flash in front of them. Lixia quickly rushed out of the locker in front of them, causing them to fall asleep as usual.
After successfully solving the most difficult floor, Lixia did not choose the guide ladder with more dynamic movement, but passed through the two guards standing stiffly at the entrance of the safety passage, and rushed straight to the fourteenth floor at a silent high speed.
