Chapter 344: Chapter 212: Crimson Moon

Jiang Shu certainly wouldn’t be stumped by such a simple question. He simply had Ding pass above the laboratory’s main gate, and once outside the signal shielding area, he sent the message.

The content of the message was simple, but because of its simplicity, it easily aroused suspicions among others.

However, there was no other choice after all, as Jiang Shu himself didn’t know what he needed Lang Tai to do.

I am trapped in the Underground Experimental Area.

You have two targets. First is Tang, Gradient unknown, estimated as a mechanical life form, located in laboratory D202 of the Underground Experimental Area; the second is Diller Dick, T1 level Research Sequence, capability and equipment unknown, location unknown.

Priority: Diller > Tang.

Jiang Su wasn’t sure if Diller was still alive, nor was he certain if he would be here, but if Lang Tai could capture Diller, that would certainly be ideal.

Even if that failed, waiting for Lang Tai to forcefully resolve the situation might temporarily alleviate the current circumstances.

Moreover, it wasn’t just him and Lang Tai who were here today.

With this thought, Jiang Shu quickly typed another message.

Lang Tai touched the Bluetooth headset on his ear and surveyed the entire venue. The new product launch was nearing its end. Based on today’s event guide, it should conclude in about thirty minutes.

By then, the audience would have completely exited.

That meant he had only thirty minutes. After thirty minutes, the guests who attended the launch would leave, and the White Eagle Building would be sealed.

A face named Diller surfaced first in Lang Tai’s mind.

He had assassinated people from the Research Sequence before; most were underground scientists living incognito. He held a unique understanding of these individuals.

Firstly, generally speaking, they were extremely cautious.

Prudently discreet, hence cautious.

Their abilities were weak, so they generally relied on a series of self-developed gadgets to augment their strengths, which were often constructed from Black Silver, possessing properties and capabilities that defied conventional reasoning.

And among them, such underground scientists were especially cautious.

He activated his watch to pull up information about the target Diller Dick and the White Eagle Building. While casually browsing, he leaned against the wall in the corridor outside the hall and pondered.

This contemplation lasted for ten minutes.

After quietly counting approximately six hundred seconds, he finally restarted his step, lowering his hat brim as he walked towards the stairwell.

He had previously retrieved the internal schedules of employees in the White Eagle Building. Although he did not know why the new product launch was scheduled from eleven thirty to one, this time was precisely lunchtime.

The security personnel in the hall had just changed shifts, meaning, part of the security personnel had just gone to the employee cafeteria for their meals, and after the shift change, another batch of security personnel would head to the cafeteria.

Almost no one was in the hallway during this period, with only the bright lights for company.

His pace was not fast, but his eyes continuously scanned, memorizing the positions of all cameras along the corridor before silently entering the stairwell.

The stairwell’s cameras almost had no blind spots, he now needed to inspect the inside of the stairwell.

The stairwell, or the emergency exit, utilized a dual-mode light source control, both sound and infrared. The lights wouldn’t switch on when unoccupied, and would automatically turn off if someone stayed for a long time.

Only a few critical places had surveillance.

Lang Tai made his judgment inwardly, his footsteps light and quick as he approached a pre-scouted spot and crouched in a dark corner.

In the darkness, he took out a piece of white paper the size of A4 paper, then swiped his watch over it, and the printed words "Under Maintenance" appeared on the paper.

This was the connection between the first floor and the lobby and a necessary path from the White Eagle Building to the employees’ cafeteria.

"Bang—" The door of the stairwell was pushed open, and a man in a security uniform quickly stepped in. He stamped his foot to light up the stairwell.

"Pfft—" A slight noise emitted from behind the dark corner, but before the security personnel could become suspicious, a fuzzy Wolf Face mask suddenly appeared before him.

Without time for any further action, the moment he sensed danger, his consciousness plunged into darkness.

Lang Tai quickly dragged the security person into the darkness, then opened the stairwell door and affixed the "Under Maintenance" sign on the door.

He closed the door and firmly knocked the door handle with his palm. After a sharp clang of metal, the door handle twisted at a ninety-degree angle, rendering it half inoperable.

After trying to pull the door and finding it wouldn’t open, he turned to walk back into the darkness, casually picking up a small metal ball from the ground.

This was a temporary signal-blocking device. Once activated, the monitoring at the entrance of the stairwell would be cut off from the network, unable to transmit data back to the main control center.

Lang Tai used the security personnel’s fingerprint to unlock his watch, then drew a data cable from his own watch and connected it to the other’s watch, implanting a commonly used electronic virus from his past missions.

It could modify the designated watch into a "cybernetic device," linking both watches remotely, thus obtaining some of the security personnel’s privileges within the company.
