Why can't we do it?
Cen Yu thought to himself, "Isn't it common knowledge that he's doing odd jobs in the student council?"
He nodded impatiently, showing that he was reluctant to work in the student council... Then he watched as the Beta brought out a pile of documents from beside him and placed them in front of Cen Yu.
Could you help me carry these?
He seemed to be used to this overly cautious way of speaking, which made Cen Yu a little uncomfortable.
Since entering the Imperial Military Academy, he had never seen anyone so cautious and fearful... Glancing at the school uniform, he realized that this person was purely a logistics person, or more accurately, someone used to gild the image of some noble children from well-off families.
Cen Yu reached out and took the pile of documents.
Watching the Beta struggling to lift more, he couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement, "Give it to me."
He simply reached out; after becoming an Alpha, he found that his body's overall quality had improved significantly, making these things completely effortless for him.
The man seemed surprised that Cen Yu would help him and was somewhat incredulous. It wasn't until he saw Cen Yu frowning impatiently that he snapped out of his daze and placed the stack of documents on Cen Yu's arm.
"lead the way."
Cen Yu said it directly.
The Beta strode forward, opened the door, and led the way for Cen Yu.
After navigating countless corridors and corners, they finally took the elevator to the underground space.
This seemed to be the data management space of the Imperial Military Academy. After the Beta swiped his card to enter, Cen Yu saw a nearly towering iron cabinet... He watched as the Beta used his palm print to unlock the access and entered some information.
Then some metal cabinets fell from the sky and floated slowly in front of them.
"Put it in?" Cen Yu asked, glancing at the metal cabinet.
"Mmm." Beta nodded vigorously. "Just put it in."
Cen Yu piled the two small mountains of documents in his hands into the cabinet, and then watched as the Beta slowly sorted through the documents. After confirming that everything was correct, he pressed some buttons.
Cen Yu watched as the metal cabinet rose into the air again.
"What is this?" He looked up at the constantly moving metal cabinets and asked, not understanding.
“This is the school’s underground database.” The Beta seemed unaccustomed to being spoken to. He clenched his hands and looked up slightly at Cen Yu. “What I just put in is everyone’s enrollment information.”
Cen Yu lowered his eyes, looking at the thin Beta standing beside him, "Is this something I can hear?"
The other person smiled sheepishly and scratched their head. "It's okay. Only specific people can access these documents. They're usually kept in the student council office."
"The president just asked me to find some information for him this morning."
After a second of thought, Cen Yu understood what the information Bai Jinyu wanted was.
—Most of it is information about Wen Xihe.
This Beta is no more than 175 cm tall. Judging from his physique, he is thin and doesn't seem to be in very good health.
While speaking, he couldn't help but cough a few times, and then gave Cen Yu an apologetic look.
Cen Yu looked down at the freckles on the other person's cheeks, "Let's go?"
The other person nodded. "We can't stay here for too long."
He then left the space with Cen Yu... After the automatic door closed, Cen Yu asked, "What do you mean by 'can't stay too long'?"
He did sense that the temperature in the archives room was lower than outside, but judging from what the other person said, the archives room was clearly more than that.
The man thought about it for a moment and seemed to agree that it wasn't a secret, as many people in the military academy knew about it.
“You can only stay in the archive room for a maximum of 5 minutes each time it opens,” he explained. “That sounds like a very short time.”
"But actually, once you enter the command, the corresponding metal cabinet will drop directly in front of you. You just need to take it or put it in... This way, it won't take more than five minutes at most."
Cen Yu somewhat understood the design.
The locations of these metal cabinets in the archive are completely irregular, and once you reach the top, they will move around the roof erratically.
For someone with the instructions and password, finding the corresponding filing cabinet is easy, but if someone tries to break into the archives to find a document they don't know where it is... finding the one they need from thousands, or even more, of these filing cabinets is an impossible task.
The 5-minute design also takes this into account.
Then, thinking back to the fact that the temperature in the archives room was noticeably colder than outside...
"The temperature will gradually decrease in five minutes, right?"
Cen Yu inquired.
The Beta nodded as he and Cen Yu walked down the corridor. "There have been cases before where people broke in and froze to death."
The two entered the elevator and left the underground database.
The mirrors and metal panels in the elevator clearly reflected the two people inside... Cen Yu was wearing slightly loose training clothes and trousers, and even though he was relaxed, he looked taller and more muscular than the person next to him.
“...Actually, I envy Alphas.” The Beta suddenly said.
“There are many Alphas and Omegas in the student council, and even the Betas are all very smart,” he whispered. “I’m the only one who’s inconspicuous.”
However, being able to get into the logistics department proves that this person comes from a good family.
"What's your name?" Cen Yu asked curiously.
“Lou Miaoan,” the Beta hurriedly said.
Lou Miao'an...?
Cen Yu almost thought he had misheard.
He looked at the Beta in the mirror with surprise, "Lou Miao'an?"
"You know me?" The Beta asked in disbelief.
“…I don’t know them,” Cen Yu said. “I know the Lou family.”
The Lou family is also a prominent noble family in Xingdu, so it's not surprising that Lou Miao'an was able to enter the logistics department of the Imperial Military Academy.
Cen Yu glanced at Lou Miao'an out of the corner of his eye at his arm, which looked like it could break at any moment, his still-childish face, and the freckles on his cheeks. He really didn't expect that this person was Lou Miao'an.
After all, Lou Miao'an is a famous villain in the later part of the novel.
He specializes in killing Alphas, and is notorious even among space pirates. Some even say he does it just for fun.
There are even rumors that before he was wanted, he had already killed hundreds of people, and even many members of the Imperial Legion were helpless against Lou Miao'an, who was so cunning and good at hiding... Considering that he was managing the school's database at the moment.
Cen Yu finally understood why Lou Miao'an was so difficult to capture...
