Chapter 002 Thief Simulator
There are challenges in this world that need to be deciphered! Is this reasonable?
Eddie stared, and it took him a long time to scroll to the next picture.
"Well, it seems that you don't like surprises. To be honest, I'm not interested either. But to express my gratitude, I have to let you see my sincerity."
"My dear friend, your employee card is more attractive to me than your checkbook."
After this passage, several pictures popped up automatically, showing him queuing in front of the company, pushing the door when entering the store, and a side profile photo of him looking down at his watch in the store... Suddenly, it was hard to tell whether it was anger or panic that gripped Eddie's heart.
He remembered the last picture, and the next moment he noticed someone next to him. He looked up and only saw the back of the suspicious person.
——That thief has been following me the whole time!
Anyway, it felt terrible to have someone lurking around him for a long time without him noticing. Eddie couldn't imagine being thrown a grenade while waiting in line... The more he thought about it, the more scared he became. Eddie immediately reported the situation to the company.
When Bai Thief first appeared, he immediately attracted the attention of Anxia Company. After being reported to other companies, it finally became the head of the security team who called Eddie.
"He's a thief. It's normal for him to take your things without anyone noticing," the security captain was full of questions. He had never experienced the excitement of suddenly discovering the truth after being filled with anger, so he had to persuade him earnestly, "Not everyone can take out C4 and detonators as easily as we can."
The unlucky employee refused to listen: "If you have the guts, you can be followed for half a day and try it!"
All I can say is that it's not surprising that people in their line of work have a higher sense of crisis than ordinary people, and it's normal to prepare for a rainy day, but to do so to this extent in advance is crazy.
The security captain rejected his suggestion of a thorough search of the entire building, as he believed that disabling the card permissions would be enough to make it impossible for the intruder to take a single step.
Eddie was shocked and angry about this, but he didn't dare to protest. The security captain thought about it and told him something insignificant to comfort him:
"The boss has been keeping an eye on Blue Enchantress. To keep my job, I'm going to send a few teams to patrol around it. Don't worry. I just sent some people downstairs. The first three floors are under martial law now."
Eddie was still worried, but what was more important now was, "Let the security team take me back first. I always felt like a passerby would suddenly show up and shoot me to death at any time."
Security Captain: "...Oh, I forgot you can't get in without your card."
It would be better if you didn't come in, so as to avoid interrogation and surveillance.
But the employee can just leave it outside - after all, he doesn't know as much as the surveillance footage, and he has already said it in the report just now - the phone and the ring must be taken back, plus the surveillance video of the breakfast shop.
So when Anxia Company was busy taking important evidence and lonely employees home, Ji Xu was squatting in the green belt. He watched the security guard take off his badge and replace it with a private mercenary in camouflage standing in front of the hall door.
The sequence of events, which had no idea what the conversation was about, was severely shocked.
How many messed-up settings does this crappy game have? No matter how it is, the appearance of mercenaries in a city ruled by law is too much. Ji Xu couldn't help but wonder how far he had progressed in becoming the igniter of the fireworks, and then he found that he opened his eyes from the finish line.
Not really. Reason kindly reminded him that at most he would just become a sieve.
Season sequence:…
He slapped the hellish joke out of his head with his hands.
Seeing that the guards in the lobby had changed several times, Ji Xu picked the leaves off his head, stood up and walked to the side window. Anxia Company used strong and high-temperature resistant materials to build its home. The gate had weaker defenses due to the glass, and the guards were more strict. On the contrary, there were few people guarding the side.
He successfully arrived at the window he had chosen. All the floors near the ground had anti-theft windows welded to the wall. There was no other way to remove them except by force.
Ji Xu moved his fingers in a very ritualistic manner.
Only a fool would break in head-on.
His body moved spontaneously. He climbed up the security window with nimble movements, fiddled with it a few times, then jumped down and twisted the corners of the iron window before finally grabbing the railing.
With a sudden force of both hands, the entire iron window was removed intact, and Ji Xu got in smoothly.
…
At eight o'clock in the morning, a busy day at work began. Ji Xu went into the bathroom. The two rows of opposite cubicles were neatly empty. The white bricks and tiles reflected the light and shadow of him taking off his coat. The clothes turned over and turned into a completely different black suit.
After being suppressed by the high academic performance for too long, students will secretly spread strange items among themselves, such as clothes that can be worn on both sides, which will then be remembered by those who are interested and recognized at a glance in the future.
Ji Xu readjusted the position of the axe rope and pushed the door open. He knew that there were countless pairs of eyes outside the camera trying to identify who the "intruder" was, but after the screen was zoomed out and sorted, the human eye could not observe everything, and he could only rely on intuition to find out what was wrong.
——The speed is fast enough, the expression is natural, and the goal is clear.
Ji Xu endured the natural feeling of tension in his back, took each step firmly, opened a door casually, inserted his employee card between two fingers into his chest pocket, and quickly changed his expression to one of impatience.
"Who are you?" The two people in the room stood up alertly, their hands hovering over the alarm.
The unknown young man closed the door and said, "This has nothing to do with you. I'm here to look for someone. A man should have come in just now with a cell phone and a USB drive. Where is he?"
The two people in the house looked at each other: "Who? The thief who just sneaked in?" They didn't even bother to remember the intruder's code name.
"You ask me? I am only responsible for picking people up."
The subtext is that it's none of my business, you are the ones responsible for finding that guy and delivering him.
According to the law of conservation of race, when the boss is a dog, the concentration of Homo sapiens under him will increase, which is specifically manifested in the degree of perfunctoriness. They just want to finish this trivial matter quickly, "A few colleagues from next door came to visit this morning..."
"I didn't ask you about this morning." Ji Xu didn't wait for them to finish, "Friends, I was talking about just now. Don't you understand what I'm saying?"
It's morning now! The two dared not speak out their anger, and they were holding back their anger amid the irritable voices.
"Security team." One of them suddenly spoke in a bad mood. The colleague was so shocked that his hands were shaking and he almost pressed the alarm. He realized belatedly that he hadn't finished speaking. "The person you are looking for has been taken away by the security team. There are no mercenaries in office 0119. You can ask them."
"You——" How do you know?
My colleague turned around in a daze, and just as he uttered a sound, he was slapped back.
As he covered his stomach and gritted his teeth in pain, a sharp gaze lingered on his and his colleague's faces. The two of them closed their mouths unconsciously until the other party turned away without any reluctance. Only then did they realize that they had recovered from the oppressive feeling.
The two of them breathed a sigh of relief and whispered about the stranger who suddenly appeared and left:
"Didn't you notice that the card stuck in that guy's chest is yellow?"
"He's from the design department?" The employee who spoke was shocked. "Why did he come to our place? Isn't he afraid of being taken away for investigation?"
"I guess the supervisor asked him to come down to pick someone up, and the boss asked the security team to take him away." The man didn't dare to speculate on the thief, still feeling lucky, "He put the card in the wrong place, revealing a small part of the house number. I noticed that the number was the same as the floor that was blocked at the beginning."
…
Ji Xu was actually in a good mood. After knowing the enemy's spawn point, he could literally block the door.
He took out the paper and pen he had just stolen, and let his body instinctively avoid the surveillance and the crowd. He uncapped the pen, and wrote with the tip of the pen against the white paper. After finishing, he folded the paper several times and placed the paper and employee card together in the trash can.
When he stopped again, he had arrived in front of the elevator room.
The elevator room was a separate open space with walls on both sides. Only when you came in could you see Ji Xu. It was martial law now and no one was willing to come down to be questioned. Time passed slowly and no one noticed that the alert intruder was standing downstairs in a swagger.
The elevator was still in use, the blue light flickered, reflecting in Ji Xu's lenses and pupils. He silently memorized the stop time and number of times on each floor.
Come on, let him see where exactly what he wants is.
The calmness of the season did not last long. When it was time to change shifts, the main control room ordered the two teams to switch as usual. Just as they were notifying the mercenaries in the corridor and at the gate to go back, they heard the sound of a door being pulled open.
One can't help but ask:
"What's wrong with you guys?"
The seven or eight big guys on the intercom were also puzzled, "Which psycho locked the door!?"
"Get out of the way," followed by shoving and grumbling, gunshots, and merciless scolding. "I'm going to change shifts. Wait - there are scratches on the keyhole. Open it up and let me see. The gun just now broke the bolt."
“…”
The person in the main control room hesitated while holding the intercom.
For a moment, he didn't know whether to report the unexpected situation to his superiors or scold the security team for being as brainless as ever.
Soon he was no longer in the mood to make a decision.
"It's an intruder." The intercom made a start-up sound. The speaker was more organized than expected and pointed out a frowning fact without mercy. "He's here. He's been here a long time ago. But none of us noticed it."
At 7:53 am, someone in the main control room pressed a button, and the next second, a shrill alarm sounded throughout the building.
The two teams cancelled their shift changes and all entered alert mode. At the same time, an unanswered question crossed everyone's mind: Why didn't the thief go to the target but ran to the first floor instead?
What can he get on the first floor?
…
Get a game started.
Ji Xu withdrew his gaze from the ceiling, his feet moved unconsciously, his thoughts drifted farther and farther away, counting the numbers that appeared the most in his short-term memory.
——63rd floor.
The Ansia Building is a functional structure that is 65 stories high. The distance between each floor is the same, and the main feature is simplicity and roughness. Under this premise, 63 is a floor that is very close to the top.
Okay, it seems that the 'Blue Rose' is hiding here.
Ji Xu never thought of swiping his card to get in. The bigger the incident got, the more cautious Anxia Company would be. When they searched everywhere and couldn't find him, they would mistakenly think that he was lurking near the target and strengthen the protection of "Blue Rose".
To sum it up in one sentence: use reverse thinking to work out which floor the enemy cares about most.
Ji Xu stared at the rapidly decreasing numbers on the display screen and was in a good mood. He took out the axe and weighed it in his hand. The elevator number was getting smaller and smaller. He couldn't help but reveal a look of satisfaction at seeing that the plan was going on as planned.
An opponent who was stuck in a vicious circle of self-trouble personally told Ji Xu the target location, allowing the progress to achieve a leap forward from nothing to something.
No matter how you look at it, he made the profit.
Make a lot of money.
