Chapter 10 Locking the Door



"There are five people in the engineering team, three men from Black Mask, a killer who is good at sniping, and an innocent citizen."

"You need to take that innocent person away without arousing suspicion before they walk into my office."

"Now," the mayor said, "you can start thinking."

You have half an hour.

No! Why me? Millie thought.

But she didn't ask, nor did she refuse. She just looked at the woman in front of her with disbelief and a little bit of grievance, like a well-behaved and delicate Doberman.

Ms. Anna was so gentle and yet so cruel that Millie had no right to refuse.

She had never had the right to refuse anything from her father's orders to her boss' orders to the mayor's orders, but the former never expected anything from her...

Think! No one will help you, think!

No one knew that when Millie stood in front of Peter and others and said those words, her mind was blank.

"Sorry," Millie raised her eyebrows, deliberately raised her hand to cover her lips, and smiled perfunctorily at everyone except Peter, "You are here to repair that wall, right? Follow me."

Then, she took a step forward, straddled the stunned Peter, and, relying on the crushing height of her high heels and the resulting stride length, she almost pulled him forward in an intimate manner.

Peter was no fool, he quickly realized that the lady in front of him wanted to say something to him, although he felt very embarrassed, after making a quick decision, he immediately chased after her.

Staring at the two men's backs, Death Shooter pressed his right hand lightly on the seam of his pants. After a while, he slowly released his hand, touched his earlobe, and took the opportunity to adjust the earphones clipped to his ear.

——Perhaps it will take a long time for Millie to realize that she made the right decision to save her life.

The other three men shrugged, looked at each other, and followed.

On the other side, Weiwei's panel -

[You get the side quest: Eavesdropping]

[Mission Description: Installing a bug in the City Hall is really too much. This is your territory.]

[Be careful not to let the eavesdropper get the information he wants, and teach the eavesdropper a lesson]

[You get a side quest: Is there still eavesdropping? ]

[Mission Description: When you find the first eavesdropping device, you will find a bunch of eavesdropping devices in the corner of the room]

[All eavesdropping devices have been marked, clear the eavesdropping devices, and investigate the person behind the scenes]

"These red names are actually eavesdropping? It's just like I thought... All NPCs have very high AI, so we have to treat them as real humans." This one and a half day gaming experience taught her a lesson, that is, don't underestimate the IQ of NPCs, they are not artificial idiots, "... OK, but it's more interesting this way."

How can there be any sense of accomplishment in bullying an artificially retarded person?

The temporary worker on the map has a big [horn] icon on his head, and on the other side, there is a flashing [ear] icon above the killer, which is as obvious as it can be.

Should I send a direct message to the secretary to bring this to her attention?

Maybe she could do it, but thinking about her goal, Weiwei felt that she had a better way.

The mayor stuffed the empty bottle in his hand into the bag and strode out of the bathroom.

The atmosphere between Millie and Peter was extremely awkward. They both knew that they were not in that kind of relationship, but they didn't know when to show that they were not in that kind of relationship. Peter... Peter felt that he needed to cooperate with the other party, while Millie was upset and confused.

As mentioned earlier, the mayor's office includes a bedroom on the left side of the office and a study on the right side. The bedroom also has a personal bathroom for washing. There are three ways to the office. There is a "T"-shaped corridor directly in front of the door. The door of the office faces the corridor and is located at the intersection of the T. Obviously, the distinguished mayor is located in the middle of the entire town hall.

On both sides of the corridor were offices of other departments, all of which were closed. Millie explained, "As you know, there was a small problem with one of the walls, and the others were too alarmed—"

So, are all the employees who are watching the excitement being locked up to work?

He could already see the mayor's door and the speechless hole next to it. Peter couldn't help feeling guilty as he glanced at it - but, God, if the other party hadn't fired a gun first last night, he wouldn't have been so panicked - well, of course, if he hadn't broken into the city hall, he wouldn't have been shot, cough.

Millie's pace slowly slowed down, and she didn't turn around, so she naturally didn't see the little movements of the people behind her.

The little leader under Black Mask was hesitating whether to take action.

The door was open, and the mayor was clearly not in the office. There were three hostages to choose from, including the "strong construction worker" in front of them, but the most convenient choice was naturally the skinny Peter and Millie, otherwise how would they leave the town hall.

Of course, there is another way. No one seems to know that they are gangsters. If they just repair the wall like real construction workers and drive away, nothing will happen.

...but how is this possible?

At this moment, Millie's phone rang. She stopped and answered the phone, and the first thing she said was, "Madam Mayor?"

Several people were still, but Millie turned to look at them (the four of them) and asked, "I think it's time to go to work, gentlemen. Do you want me to treat you?"

Small boss & subordinates x2 & death shooter: "..."

"Where did you say you were... Sorry, the signal here is not very clear... I have to change places..."

While talking on the phone, Millie casually pulled Peter to the secretary's office next door. Seeing that she was not far away, the four people who were left behind looked at each other and chose to enter the mayor's office which was closest to them and had the greatest possibility.

At this moment, Death Shooter heard a clear voice coming from the other side of the eavesdropping device -

[“You are in the office…Oh, is that so…”]

Death Shooter frowned and looked around.

[“Lock… Is the lock broken? Please wait a moment, I’ll see if there’s a spare key. And the construction workers are here, ma’am, I think it won’t be difficult for them to open the lock.” Then there’s the sound of footsteps, the sound of opening drawers to look for keys, and someone saying to the boy, “Please sit down for a moment.”]

Locked up, Deadshot thought, according to the information he overheard, the mayor was still in her office, but was locked in a closed space, so he called his secretary for help... This time seemed to be the right time for him to act.

For some reason, a strange impulse flashed through his mind, as if saying:

"It's your job to be a killer, and now is the time to do it. You won't get that chance again."

"Go ahead and do it now. Don't hesitate. Your goal is within reach. Don't you feel...happy?"

He heard two "bangs". The other three had given up their disguises and started searching the room directly. Although it was a bit rash, they seemed to be doing the right thing.

"Hey, what are you guys doing—"

It seemed like someone opened the door, walked out of the office of another department, and shouted in this direction with full energy.

Their movements must have been heard by the clerks in other departments' offices... Deadshot did not hesitate any longer and slipped into the mayor's lounge next door. He spotted the open window at a glance and confirmed that he could escape at any time if his action failed.

——This was the second mistake he made.

—Stepping on the wool blanket without lifting it to take a look at the red pattern on the ground below was his first mistake.

Just as he entered the room, quickly locked the bathroom and started banging on the door, the other three also squeezed in. Even if he had a bump on his head, he should have realized that Deadshot was not a serious construction worker, so they decided to have a customary negotiation first.

"We need to catch the mayor—"

"I'm going to kill her," Deadshot said. "We're not on the same page."

The negotiations failed in seconds.

At the moment the bathroom door was smashed open, several people had already seen the woman with loose blonde hair in the corner, and then she was pushed into the bathroom by the people behind her. At that moment, Death Shooter, one of the best killers in the world and the greatest sniper, his intuition began to frantically call the police.

Something is wrong.

He looked at the woman lying on her back in the bathroom. She had glasses on the tip of her nose and her eyes were tightly closed, as if she had fainted.

but--

He didn't do it.

She is dead.

"Bang", "Bang", "Bang", "Bang"... These are the sounds of someone breaking in and approaching rapidly.

It's a fucking trap! He pulled out his gun.

...The [traitors] didn't know what had happened.

The eleven red names in the security team did not know each other because they were not inserted at the same time, but on this day, they got to know each other. The mayor sent the original employees to the museum next door, emptied the office, and picked out eleven people from the security team. Half of them went to catch a "snake that swam into the office and scared everyone", and the other half went around to the window outside the mayor's lounge to look. Maybe the snake ran into the bushes?

Then, they received a call from the secretary, asking them to bring a "handy tool" with them. The lock of the mayor's office was broken, so they went to open the lock and fix it.

This mayor lady has a lot on her plate, but she is the mayor, isn't she?

They pushed open the door, climbed in through the window, and were met with bullets—

[Your [Floor Pattern Spray Paint (Red) x 100ml] has been completely consumed]

[The [Mayor's Glasses] you tied to your bag has been recovered]

Outside the mayor's office, Weiwei pushed her glasses up with one hand, turned the handle, and locked the door gently with a "click".
