108 Seventeenth Floor
◎Aqing, keep your voice down!◎
Qi Qiuxue tried to use the communication device in her hand to connect to the Internet, or to call for help.
But it was all useless. The limitations in the copy blocked this possibility. The network could never be connected, and the receiver always showed that the other party was busy, so it was impossible to get through.
As a result, the communication equipment in your hand has become useless.
Qi Qiuxue lowered her eyes and glanced at the time on the display screen, then turned off the device and threw it neatly into the sewer.
"You guys go back first. I still have things to do. I don't need you to accompany me." She said.
"What is Axue going to do?" Li Yiqing asked worriedly.
Qi Qiuxue: "Go find Liu Ge, she's almost off work."
"We don't need to bring Liu Ge with us when we infiltrate the administrative district. She has a chip in her brain, which makes everything she does inconvenient. But I need her weapons, so I'll ask her to transfer them to me temporarily."
"Alright, one more weapon means one more layer of protection." Wu Shanyue nodded. Ah Xue had her own considerations. Since she said she didn't need to follow, she just had to cooperate. "Be sure to stay safe."
"Don't worry." Qi Qiuxue nodded and quickly left the alley.
“…”
Everything went smoothly. After returning to the old world, Qi Qiuxue took the time to discuss tomorrow's plan with the two of them.
The group of new humans locked in the punishment room cannot be delayed. The longer time is wasted, the more casualties will be. At present, all the information that can be obtained from the outside world has basically been searched. If new clues are wanted, it is necessary to enter the administrative district where the decision maker is located.
"Tomorrow morning I will disguise myself as one of them, use the keycard to enter the facility, and then arrive at the building where Simon is, focusing on exploring the area from the 16th to the 19th floors."
"Before that, I'll drink the item I got from the last dungeon: the Lucky Potion. Its effect lasts for one hour. I'll try to find the clues and the initial chip within that hour and leave smoothly."
"What about us?" Li Yiqing asked hurriedly.
"You wait outside. If all three of you sneak in, it'll be too obvious and we'll be easily exposed," Qi Qiuxue said. "It would be best if I could escape safely, but if anything goes wrong, I'll need you to help me attract the enemy's attention. Otherwise, even if my weapons are powerful, I won't be able to do anything against so many people."
"Got it." The two nodded in response.
After he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door. It was Qingqing calling the three of them out for dinner.
"Let's go." Qi Qiuxue looked at the two of them and then stood up.
The next day.
As usual, Qi Qiuxue and the other two got up early and prepared to go to the new world.
Qingqing stayed in Qi Qiuxue's bed again tonight. She had poor sleep quality and slept very lightly. Even if Qi Qiuxue moved lightly, she would always wake her up.
Normally, she would get up quickly and ask Qi Qiuxue if she needed her company today. If yes, she would follow; if no, she would stay. But today, she acted out of character and stayed in bed, refusing to get up.
"I won't follow you today." She raised her hand to rub her eyes and yawned softly, "Axue, you guys go ahead."
"Okay." Qi Qiuxue nodded in response, lowered her eyes and covered her with the quilt again. "It's still early, sleep a little longer."
"I had a nightmare." Qingqing shook her head, unwilling to close her eyes. She still stared at her quietly with her watery eyes and raised her hands high. "Axue, can you hold me for a while before you leave?"
She is very similar to Li Yiqing, both of them love to act like a spoiled child.
They were about to leave this instance, and they might never have the chance to meet again. Qi Qiuxue didn't want her to be disappointed, so she leaned over as she wished: "Okay."
So Qingqing hugged her happily.
She rested her head on Qi Qiuxue's shoulder, her small hands tightly wrapped around her body: "That's great, now I won't be afraid."
"Axue." She whispered softly in her ear, calling her name in a very low voice, "Come back soon, okay?"
"I have something to tell you, something very important." As if she was afraid that Qi Qiuxue would not agree, she quickly added, "Please, promise me."
Perhaps due to the influence of the nightmare, her tone sounded very insecure.
"Okay." Qi Qiuxue touched her head and agreed, "I will."
Qingqing raised her pinky finger, still worried, "Let's pinky promise."
"Yeah." Qi Qiuxue cooperated with her actions and also raised her little finger to hook it with her.
Only then was Qingqing willing to let her go, but she stood up shortly after Qi Qiuxue left, and silently stood at the door, watching her back gradually disappear from her sight.
A very long time.
-
Before entering the facility, Qi Qiuxue changed her clothes, prepared the door card, and drank the lucky potion in advance.
Li Yiqing and Wu Shanyue did not follow. As planned, they hid not far away and waited, always paying attention to every move coming from the administrative district.
The potion took effect quickly. Qi Qiuxue lowered the brim of her hat, put on a mask, simulated the status of other internal personnel, and walked into the facility openly.
The journey was surprisingly smooth and no one noticed that her identity was different.
Before arriving at the administrative district, the route maps drawn for her by the two men were exactly the same. Qi Qiuxue had already memorized the route by heart, avoiding the bustling crowds and moving forward slowly.
Until you reach the administrative district.
Qi Qiuxue looked up and saw that Simon lived in the tallest building.
He was an extremely suspicious and sensitive person. There were many guards and security measures set up at the gate. Even with the help of potions, it was not easy to get in. So Qi Qiuxue changed the route and checked the conditions on the left, right and back of the building.
Even though there are doors on the other three sides, it is still difficult to enter.
In that case, why not——
Qi Qiuxue looked around and her eyes finally locked on a nearby clock tower.
The bell tower is relatively low, only about thirteen stories high, and there is almost no one guarding it, so it is easy to sneak in.
Qi Qiuxue found the right time to enter the bell tower, went all the way to the top floor, then called out Liu Ge's chain blade and threw the chain out from the roof.
The blade flew forward rapidly through the air, and after touching another building, it tightly wrapped around the iron pipe on one side. Qi Qiuxue pulled it back hard a few times. It was very tight and should be able to bear her weight.
So she took a few steps back, ran quickly and jumped out of the window. With the help of inertia and the chain, she reached the iron pipe, grabbed it, stood firm, and climbed into the nearest window.
After doing all this, she swiftly retrieved the chain blade. In fact, the operation just now was very dangerous, and her life could be in danger if she was not careful.
Fortunately, the lucky potion continues to work.
Qi Qiuxue didn't waste any time and quickly glanced around. This was an office area with a few computers inside, and nothing special else.
There were no footsteps outside the door. Qi Qiuxue hid behind the door and listened for a moment. After confirming that it was safe, she quickly left the room and continued walking up.
Then, it’s time to make a decision.
Floors 16-19, which floor should I explore first?
For some unknown reason, Qi Qiuxue suddenly recalled some past events. One night when they were eating, drinking and having fun together in the real world, Qi Qiuxue casually asked about Li Yiqing's birthday.
It seems to be - June 17th.
The seventeenth floor then.
Somewhat casually, Qi Qiuxue decided on the floor she wanted to go to. She believed that with the blessing of the lucky potion and some metaphysical power, this would definitely be the correct answer.
At this moment, Li Yiqing outside the facility said, "A-choo!"
Wu Shanyue widened her eyes upon hearing the sound and quickly raised her index finger as a gesture to keep quiet, fearing that others would discover that they were hiding here.
"Ah Qing, keep your voice down!"
