Administrator, who exactly are you?
Lai Chuan Huang Quan used this as an excuse to leave the auction, and then turned around and sneaked into the second floor of the villa.
She held the high heel in her mouth, biting the shoe buckle, and climbed up the drainpipe to the second-floor balcony. The entire climbing motion was swift and efficient, clearly indicating that she frequently climbed other people's balconies in previous worlds.
I wonder what Kenji Hagiwara would think if he saw Soft Bread's expertly flipping through a window.
The balcony was locked from the inside. Lai Chuan Huang Quan smashed the glass near the door latch and reached his hand into the room through the glass door to unlock it.
She entered the corridor and found Kenji Hagiwara along the U-shaped path. He was already biting a mini flashlight and using two metal tools that Yomi Yorikawa didn't recognize to unlock a door.
Matsuda Jinpei couldn't come, but fortunately Hagiwara Kenji was equally skilled in mechanics and disassembly, making him another absolute ace in the Mobile Unit.
Kenji Hagiwara pushed his sunglasses up to the top of his head, resting them on his dark hair. His violet eyes sparkled with excitement and focus, the kind of look that comes from a top student facing difficult problems and challenges.
Half a minute later, with a click, Kenji Hagiwara's lips curled into a smug smile, and he gave Yomi Laichuan an OK sign.
Kenji Hagiwara pushed open the door: "The design of this door lock is very subtle. Once you enter, it locks in one direction only, and only a key can open it from the inside. It seems to be intentionally designed this way, so that anyone who enters will walk right into a trap."
He first went into the room and quickly checked it out before earnestly instructing Lai Chuan Huang Quan: "If you encounter a crisis, your personal safety should be your top priority. I won't go in; please be careful."
After saying that, Kenji Hagiwara pulled out a handgun and shoved it into Yomi Laichuan's hand: "This was specially prepared for you by a certain scoundrel."
He couldn't say Furuya Rei's name directly, so he used a pseudonym that he and Yomi Yorikawa could understand, but that Furuya Rei himself would definitely rush up and beat up if he heard it.
Kenji Hagiwara didn't laugh. He stared intently at Yomi Raikawa, gripping her wrist tightly and saying each word solemnly, "Be careful."
“Okay,” Lai Chuan Huang Quan smiled, his eyes narrowing into crescents. “I am…”
"Extremely powerful."
Kenji Hagiwara sighed, a helpless smile on his face, and then joined Yomi Lai in saying the second half of the sentence.
The current occupant of the villa lives on the second floor, and Kenji Hagiwara has no idea when the other party will pass by, so he can't just stand here swaggering around.
Although leaving the door open will prevent the locking mechanism from being triggered, it is essentially telling other passersby that "the room has been invaded."
The door slowly closed, and Kenji Hagiwara stared at Yomi Raikawa, her face, hidden in the darkness, gradually diminishing as the door crack widened.
The moment the door closed completely, Kenji Hagiwara felt a sudden, inexplicable unease.
Kenji Hagiwara had a strange feeling that long ago, he had also bid farewell to Yomi Yorikawa through the darkness.
Kenji Hagiwara took a deep breath, suppressed his unease, and turned to leave.
His mission is complete, and he can't be of much help here, so it's better to trust Lai Chuan Huang Quan.
The dimly lit room was illuminated only by a faint beam of light, and a flashlight, no longer than a middle finger, groped its way along the cabinets.
Lai Chuan Huang Quan was unfamiliar with the various secret passages and chambers of 21st-century technology, but before she arrived, Furuya Rei had spent three hours giving her an emergency lesson, analyzing one by one the possible scenarios they thought might occur.
A genius is praised as a genius because he has extraordinary abilities that others cannot match.
Following the possible paths listed by Furuya Rei, Yomi Laichuan quickly found the hidden door. Holding a flashlight in her mouth, she cocked the pistol that Kenji Hagiwara had given her and slowly pushed open the hidden door.
Lai Chuan Huang Quan didn't know how to describe the scene he saw. The man curled up on the floor couldn't even be called human. He looked as if he had been fished out of red paint, his entire face stained red, and a pool of congealed, dried dark brown bloodstains spread beneath him.
Lai Chuan Huang Quan squatted down next to the man, reached out to feel his neck, and then breathed a sigh of relief—the man still had a pulse.
Lai Chuan Huang Quan slipped her hands under the man's armpits, took a deep breath, and dragged the man up from the ground—she knew that the carrying posture commonly used by special police officers could easily lift an unconscious man, but her petite figure was indeed not enough to support her carrying this unconscious man on her shoulders.
She clung tightly to the man in her arms: "Administrator, teleportation."
Another employee under the administrator happened to encounter extreme danger and was busy pulling people away from that world, so he didn't pay attention to the world of Yomi Yorikawa. Hearing the call, the administrator finally had a chance to shift his attention from that world to Yomi Yorikawa.
But the next second...
"1107, he's not from the police department! Let him go!"
Yomi Laichuan: "Huh?"
Before Lai Chuan Huang Quan could react, a stun gun was already pressed against her abdomen. A flash of electricity illuminated the entire room with its blinding ivory white light.
"Hmm!"
An electric current instantly coursed through his body, every inch of his flesh feeling as if it were being scorched by fire. His muscles began to hesitate and curl, his fingers uncontrollably clenching inward into a claw-like shape. Lai Chuan Huang Quan gritted his teeth, his face turning pale with pain.
Despite the intense electric current, Lai Chuan Huang Quan raised her right hand, which was trembling uncontrollably from the shock. She pressed the safety bolt of her pistol, holding the dark muzzle against the man's forehead.
Out of pain, Lai Chuan Huang Quan's smile became somewhat sinister: "What a clever trap! The real police officer should be dead by now."
The man gripped the trigger of the stun gun tightly, his lips twitching as he suppressed his fear: "You're a strange woman, you haven't lost consciousness even in this state."
"Heh," Lai Chuan Huang Quan sneered, "I've been shocked by much stronger voltages before. You think you can get me with just a stun gun?"
Even with the Time and Space Administration employees possessing stronger physical constitutions, Lai Chuan Huang Quan couldn't withstand prolonged, continuous electric shocks. She turned the gun around and pulled the trigger on the man's hand.
After the gunshot, the stun gun fell from the man's hand. Blood gushed from the severed finger, and he clutched his wrist, trying to slow the flow of blood.
He chuckled to himself, "Not bad shooting."
Lai Chuan Huang Quan took two steps back to create distance between her and the man. She darted around, constantly looking at her surroundings, but the gun was always pointed at the man. Her gaze would only quickly sweep around the area before returning to the man.
The man smiled and looked at Lai Chuan Huang Quan: "Let me ask you a question, who is the administrator?"
Lai Chuan Huang Quan tilted his head: "I'll ask you a question too, who are you?"
The man gave a cold laugh and didn't reply.
However, Morofushi Kagemitsu had analyzed the behavior of 5MEO creators in Japan for Yomi Raikawa, and the other party would not do something like posing as a missing police officer and waiting for the police to come to their door.
Lai Chuan Huang Quan frowned, his gaze lingering on the taut muscles of the man's elbow, which clenched in pain: "You must be someone like the second-in-command. The leader is most likely unaware of what you're doing right now. Let me guess... you think he's too incompetent, so you're planning to replace him?"
The man just breathed heavily, sneered, and didn't say a word.
But Lai Chuan Huang Quan didn't intend to ask him for an answer. She asked, "Are there any listening or surveillance devices here?"
--"No."
“Excellent,” she stared intently at the man in front of her, slowly pulling the trigger. “Say goodbye to this world, you super scoundrel.”
The sound of the bullet leaving the barrel was muffled by the silencer, and blood gushed onto the wall in the direction the bullet had traveled. Lai Chuan Huang Quan sighed and activated his spatial jump.
He thought he could help Morofushi Kagemitsu and save a policeman, but now it seems...
As planned, after Yomi Laichuan finds the missing policeman, she will take him to the location planned by Rei Furuya, where a man named Yuya Kazami will be there to meet her.
Rei Furuya chose to trust his former colleagues—not to escalate the matter to other police ranks. Within the entire Japanese Public Security Bureau, besides him, Kagemitsu Morofushi, and Yuya Kazami, no one else knew the secret of Yomi Yorikawa.
Kazami Yuya paced back and forth at the designated spot with his hands behind his back. Suddenly, a loud bang was heard, and Yomi Yorikawa appeared out of thin air in front of him, landing on the soft cushion that had been laid out beforehand.
But there was only Yomi Yomi from Raikawa.
The woman, splattered with blood, could barely get up after landing. Suddenly, she was moved from darkness to light. She raised her hand to shield her eyes from the light shining down on her head, and her eyes narrowed into slits.
As her eyes gradually adjusted to the light, Lai Chuan Huang Quan glanced at the man in front of her and froze: "It's you."
But then she felt relieved and lowered her gaze, not daring to meet Kazami Yuya's eyes: "I'm sorry, I couldn't find anyone."
Kazami Yuya remained silent for a moment, then adjusted his glasses and said comfortingly, "It was somewhat expected, so you don't need to blame yourself. On the contrary, we are very grateful for your efforts."
"However, could you please describe what happened in detail to me? I may need to compile a report for Inspector Morofushi and Mr. Furuya."
"Okay, no problem."
Lai Chuan Huang Quan first sent a message to Hagiwara Kenji, who had already returned to his apartment, to report that he was safe and sound, before explaining the incident to Kazami Yuya.
However, Yomi Lai deliberately concealed the part about the administrator.
Yomi Laichuan wasn't afraid that Yuya Kazami knew about the existence of the administrator; he should have already heard about the administrator from Rei Furuya.
But in the darkness, the administrator said something that Yomi Laichuan said that really bothered him.
Before figuring out the truth behind that statement, Yomi Laichuan was unsure whether he should let others know about it.
After recounting the events in detail, Raikawa Yomi turned to Kazami Yuya and said, "I'm sorry, I killed someone. According to the laws of this world, am I going to be imprisoned?"
"You don't need to worry about that. Your operation this time is completely confidential. As for the Ministry of Public Security, in order to uphold justice, it is inevitable that there will be some illegal operations. Moreover, your actions would be considered legitimate self-defense even for an ordinary person."
Lai Chuan Huang Quan asked, "Can I leave now? I'm a little tired."
Kazami Yuya quickly stood up: "Of course. If you don't mind, I'll take you home."
"Yes, thank you for your hard work."
When Lai Chuan Huang Quan was sent back to his apartment, Hagiwara Kenji had already boiled the bath water and was sitting cross-legged on the sofa watching TV, holding a can of ice-cold beer.
“Soft Bread, you’re back,” Kenji Hagiwara said, standing up from the sofa as soon as he saw Yomi Laichuan. His eyes sparkled with excitement. “I bought some crepe cakes. Come and have some with me.”
But Yomi Lai didn't say anything; she just wrapped her arms around Kenji Hagiwara's waist and buried her face in his chest.
Kenji Hagiwara's smile faded slightly. He hugged the person in his arms and softened his voice: "Did you suffer, softie?"
Lai Chuan Huang Quan rubbed against Hagiwara Kenji's firm chest and said in a muffled voice, "Kenji, I have something I want to talk to the administrator about. I want to..."
Before Lai Chuan Huang Quan could finish speaking, Hagiwara Kenji lowered his head and gently kissed her forehead: "I'm going to buy two cans of beer, and I'll also buy you some oden. I'll be back in about half an hour."
After saying that, he released Raikawa Yomi, put on his shoes, waved to Raikawa Yomi, and then turned and left without looking back.
After Kenji Hagiwara left, the once bustling apartment was left with only Yomi Raikawa. Hugging a pillow, she curled up on the sofa, and after reorganizing her thoughts, finally began to commit her crime against the building manager.
"Administrator, I have a very serious question to ask you."
--"ask."
But the administrator had already roughly guessed what Raikawa Yomi wanted to ask him.
“You said something when I was trying to take that man on a space jump.”
Lai Chuan Huang Quan closed his eyes and took a deep breath: "You said, 'He's not from the police department.' But how did you manage to tell he wasn't from the police department just by looking at him?"
I can only draw two conclusions.
"The first possibility is that you've seen this man in some criminal setting, so you can conclude that he's not a police officer. But the person I'm trying to rescue is an undercover agent who needs to cover his identity, so it's inevitable that he would appear at a crime scene or even have to commit illegal or criminal acts in order to remain in the background. So that possibility is not high."
"The second possibility is that you recognize the faces of everyone in the police department at that point in time. That's why you can tell the man isn't from the police department the moment you see him."
His brain was racing, and his thoughts were becoming increasingly clear. Lai Chuan Huang Quan paused briefly, tightened his arms around the pillow, curled his toes, and continued, "Administrators have higher-level permissions than employees, and an A+ level will grant you more privileges, but that doesn't mean the Time and Space Administration will allow you to squander the central system's resources at will."
“Administrator, we’ve been working together for so many years, it’s impossible for me not to know the extent to which you can utilize resources. So it’s not that you used your privileges to obtain information, but that you once belonged to this world and knew everyone in the police department at this point in time.”
Lai Chuan Huang Quan took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. She looked up at the pale ceiling and asked a question slowly.
"Administrator, who exactly are you?"
[Author's Note]
The administrator's identity should be quite obvious by now, everyone must have figured it out, hehe~
