When Sihai received the damaged 'group return ticket', his expression was extremely good. He then looked intently at 'Feng Jiakang'.
To let everyone know what the return ticket really looked like, Sihai passed the light bulb to Sun Han, who pursed his lips and gave 'Feng Jiakang' a deep look before handing the light bulb to Du Jun, and so on.
Feng Jiakang was terrified by the stares of the crowd. At first, he was eager to be praised, but later he realized that if he still didn't understand that he had done something wrong with good intentions, then he would be a complete fool.
When he finally got the light bulb... 'Feng Jiakang' hugged his weak, helpless, and pitiful self, gritted his teeth, covered his head, and stuck out his buttocks, "Go easy on me, don't hit my face!"
Although it was a real shame to miss out on a group return ticket, the mechanical voice reminded us that there were other tickets available, it was just a matter of spending more time looking for them.
The group proceeded according to plan, splitting up to search the government building offices for any secrets.
Fortunately, perseverance pays off. While the group of three people returned empty-handed, April and Liao Yuewei found a landscape painting on the wall of the tenth-floor confidential leadership office area.
The landscape painting depicts rivers and mountains from a high angle, crisscrossing and vast yet tranquil. At first glance, it seems no different from any other landscape painting; if it weren't for the two people's keen observation and April's professional artist status, they would probably have completely overlooked certain truths.
This picture shows the rivers and mountains surrounding the entire town.
Faced with the choice of taking it away or taking photos to study, they chose to take it away.
This painting is so large that while it's easy to take a picture, some details may be blurred due to pixelation and other factors.
They hurriedly took down the painting and handed it to Cheng Shuang, who had come out of another office. Cheng Shuang used Luo An's copying skills to make a fake copy of the painting.
Just then, the elevator on the tenth floor sounded, signaling that the building's leaders should be returning.
The three of them had initially thought that Luo An was quick enough to hang the painting, but after exchanging a glance, they quickly slipped back into the confidential leadership office area.
The confidential leadership office area occupies the largest space on the entire tenth floor, but it is divided into two sections.
The main area consists of offices and a reception room, with desks and bookshelves made of extremely high-end materials, all made of mahogany.
The small area is close to the main entrance and is relatively cramped; the desks there take up even less space than the beverage bar.
That's why they came back.
There were only two people in charge of the government building: an old man with gray hair and Sister Xu. Unfortunately, they had just died recently, and with no one in charge of the office, it was natural that no subordinates would stay there for long.
The three entered quietly and heard the sound of the elevator doors opening and closing, followed by two firm footsteps approaching.
They quickly found places to hide.
Cheng Shuang crawled into the bookshelf, while the other two huddled under the table.
Just as I had hidden myself, there was a knock on the door.
The two people under the table looked up and saw the blank wall above them, and they gasped.
The painting hasn't been hung up yet, but there's no time to spare.
After a short while, seeing no response from outside, they quietly pushed the door open. Fortunately, although the landscape painting was directly opposite the main gate, the gate was quite a distance from the main area, so as long as the other party didn't come in, they wouldn't notice anything amiss for a while.
The three of them held their breath, because two eyes appeared in the door that had been pushed open a crack, and these two eyes were looking in vertically, as if the person outside had turned their head upside down ninety degrees.
Even if the head is tilted 90 degrees, the shape of the eyes should change. In fact, the eyes are more like they are arranged vertically rather than growing horizontally.
Cheng Shuang immediately thought of a species—flounder.
Of course, she was just guessing. There are many kinds of creatures in the sea, and it might just be one that she didn't know about. It just so happens that her eyes have some peculiar 'search' function.
Not only did she think so, but the other two also tensed up. Liao Yuewei clutched her weapon card, and Siyue pulled out her paintbrush. Their two charming faces were taut as they stared intently at the door. If there was any unusual movement, they would launch a preemptive attack to avoid alerting their companions on other floors.
However, the person outside peered through the crack in the door for a long time, only to find nothing. He muttered, "Why hasn't Old Zheng returned yet? And Secretary Cao isn't here either. How strange!"
After saying that, he looked away, and footsteps approached.
Cheng Shuang slowly opened the cabinet door, and a small figure darted out. In the blink of an eye, the copied painting was hung back on the wall.
Just before Luo An returned, the door suddenly opened, and a long, snake-like figure slipped inside.
The flat fish head stood upright, looking around, its gaze fixed on the wall, and it swam into the depths of the office area, its tail fin swaying.
Through the gap beneath the desk's back panel, Liao Yuewei and Liu Juan saw the eel-like, snake-like fish getting closer and closer, accompanied by a fishy smell. Their faces froze for a moment. Liao Yuewei swiftly scooped up Luo An, who was hiding behind a thin chair leg, and held him in her arms, listening to the slippery sound of him moving across the floor tiles.
They guessed that the human-headed fish possessed a peculiar vision and sensed that someone was in the empty room, which was why it returned. Furthermore, to avoid arousing their suspicion, it deliberately transformed into a fish shape to reduce the alertness of its footsteps.
Cheng Shuang, who was squatting in the bookcase, looked out through the narrow gap. She saw the snake-shaped fish hovering in front of the desk, looking up at the painting for a long time before turning around. But before she could breathe a sigh of relief, the snake-shaped fish stopped gliding and turned to the side, its vertical pupils looking at the bookcase.
Those eyes were so cold that it was impossible to guess what they meant. Liao Yuewei tightened her grip on the weapon card, while April silently took Luo An, ready to face the snake-like fish head-on at any moment.
On the contrary, the closer the snake-shaped fish got, the easier it became for Cheng Shuang. She came up with a way to escape, but she didn't know if the human-headed fish's idea was flawless.
A guy who can get to the tenth floor and openly walk around the leaders' offices must be of a high position. It wouldn't be too surprising if he did something outrageous in order to get a higher position.
So, just as the snake-like fish yanked open the bookshelf door and Liao Yuewei leaped up to attack, Luo An and the zombie simultaneously attacked. Luo An stopped Liao Yuewei's deadly move, while the zombie unfurled its large cloak, its towering figure gradually spilling out from the bookshelf, like the Grim Reaper descending.
In the world of the human-headed fish, there are no legends of death or reincarnation, which is why they dare to commit evil and kill without restraint. But at this moment, the snake-shaped fish was stunned. It saw its future bright, saw itself rising step by step, and saw itself crossing the cage to a wider world... The premise is that it killed Old Zheng, killed Sister Xu, and killed too many stumbling blocks that hindered its power.
As expected, the snake-shaped fish that dared to barge into the leader's office was an ambitious fellow. With just a little guidance from the eccentric guy, it revealed all its innermost thoughts and even drew up a perfect blueprint for the future.
Through the monstrous creature, Cheng Shuang saw the outside world as imagined by the snake-like fish. It was a world with endless petri dishes and a boundless, vast, lake-green ocean, and it was the king of the world!
