Psychics don't die from gunfire

Chapter 89 Landing from the Sky
“——This is Crand’s schedule for the next three hours.”

The blurred voice of Twinkle Star rang out from the deeply buried headphones.

With the help of a projection device, a holographic projection appears in the air, with windows of different sizes popping up on it. They keep changing and finally turn into an extremely concise pop-up window.

The lower left corner shows the current time, 18:25 in the evening.

"Thirty minutes ago, Clander finished his promotional visit to a factory under his name and is about to start his next trip. He will have dinner with the director of the Palose Transportation Bureau."

On the holographic projection, a man in a suit and leather shoes smiled and walked through the factory floor surrounded by many people. As the camera light flashed, the former showed his kindness to several workshop workers.

Then the scene changed, and the man put away his smile, and under the protection of two men in suits, he entered a high-end shuttle with bright silver paint and streamlined shape, and slowly rose into the sky.

The viewing angles of these images are all from surveillance cameras.

"I have locked the location of this shuttle, but Cland's 'White Egret' shuttle was purchased from [Time Sequence Passage], and its built-in firewall is quite advanced. It is easy to be exposed if it is locked all the time, so it can only provide a location signal indirectly, and the current frequency is once every fifteen seconds."

The original surveillance screen was closed and replaced by a city map of Palose, with a red dot flashing on it and several dotted lines outlining the entire route.

"Now Crand is about to leave the Rota area and go to the high-end restaurant 'Garden' in the White Gate area."

As if it was an illusion, the shining star in the earphone snorted coldly.

"The Baimen District has a fleet of riot control drones patrolling around the clock, and the Security Bureau has also deployed a large number of police forces here. The various homeowners' committees have also jointly purchased 'security services' from some armed security companies, and there are a group of armed security guards stationed here."

"We can't do anything in the Baimen area. If we alert these people, we won't have enough time to evacuate. It's no different from sending ourselves to die."

"——So, this is our plan?"

Song Shi looked at the things piled on the table nearby.

This is a room located in a 210-meter-high, 47-story building. However, due to the long construction time, the entire building has inevitably aged and damaged, and requires regular inspection and maintenance.

At the moment, including the 43rd floor where they were standing, the upper and lower floors were undergoing biannual maintenance inspections, and many rooms were vacant. With the support of Flash Star's network, after a simple disguise, the two successfully infiltrated the building and arrived at this room.

"Yes, let's do it later. Hiss, this dress is so damn tight. If I had known, I would have added another size when I ordered it."

On the other side of the table, Harold sat in his chair and tugged at his tie.

Both he and Song Shi's appearance had changed greatly. Both of them wore ties and standard black suits, looking like standard corporate attire - but the identities they used to sneak into the building were not actually "corporate people".

In other words, not the office worker who sits in an office, guzzling cocaine-laced coffee and staring at a data tablet all day.

On the chest of their uniforms, a line of [Youzhuxinju] logo was clearly visible.

[Youzhuxinju] is a complex decoration company with a high status in the industry. In the eyes of the public, the most well-known thing about this company is that all its employees are dressed in formal attire, even a trainee cleaner has to wear a suit and tie - the contractor currently responsible for the maintenance and repair of this building is [Youzhuxinju].

It was because they disguised themselves as employees of Youzhuxinju that the two were able to enter the building with toolboxes full of equipment.

After confirming that a "Working, Do Not Disturb" sign was hung in the room, Harold finally gave up pulling on his suit and jumped up from his chair.

He picked up a cloak-like piece of equipment from the equipment piled on the table.

"Spray-on K4 type, optical concealment equipment, made of special materials with specialized reflective and transmissive properties, including the camera, which allows us to achieve 'invisibility' visually." "We will be fighting in a narrow space later, and the battle must be resolved instantly. This cloak can allow us to gain the upper hand - and this thing is expensive, one piece costs hundreds of thousands."

He picked up another thin, round, black metal plate that was slightly larger than his palm.

"The folded and compressed wing suit." Harold wiped the surface of the disc. "Just press it lightly, and it will expand and burst with a bang. If something goes wrong later, if we don't want to be smashed into a pulp in the air, we have to use this to retreat."

"By the way, do you need me to tell you the specific steps of the plan?"

[I have told 'Nandu' everything, attack]

"Oh, okay, okay."

Hearing this, Harold sighed. He walked to the window and looked down at the neon abyss below. "In short, when Cland's shuttle flies over here, we will jump from here. Flash Star will unlock the hatch locks on both sides of the shuttle in advance. We will seize the opportunity to crash into the shuttle. Cland's security is usually very strict when he travels, and it will only be a little lax in the sky."

"Come to think of it, this kind of thing was popular in my hometown many years ago. People would climb aboard the train at night. If they were lucky, they could find a seat in the freight car. If they were unlucky, they would just hang on the car and pray that they would not be thrown out for no reason."

Harold shrugged. "Well, these are what others told me before. I never thought that one day I would actually do such a thing. Do you think this is considered the traditional culture of my hometown?"

"Who knows?"

In front of the table, Song Shi slowly pulled out the steel crow from its sheath and looked at the light gray alloy blade.

The full name of the scabbard is "Portable Close-Range Weapon Storage", which is a device that can automatically maintain and polish cold weapons and reduce daily chemical corrosion and other wear and tear. This is a supporting equipment for weapons such as single-molecule blades provided by the [Platinum Workshop] and must be purchased additionally for 14,000 credit points.

——There is definitely a brand premium, but at the same time the quality is guaranteed, and the appearance design of this scabbard is really good.

The dark green paint job is sharp-edged yet soft, and even considering the "hidden" use place, the scabbard has a one-button camouflage function, which can be transformed into a folded umbrella.

"If we really want to talk about traditional culture, my hometown believes in 'the dead are the greatest', so I usually give people the opportunity to leave their last words. So it seems that we are all active participants in promoting traditional culture?"

"Ha, don't say that."

When Harold heard this, he was about to say something, but his expression suddenly became serious.

[——Kland, we will reach your location in fifteen seconds! ]

Song Shi and Harold looked at each other, one of them picked up a single-molecule knife, and the other hung two guns on his chest.

From the dusty glass window, at the end of the flickering light, a bright silver outline emerged, slowly passing through the steel jungle formed by high-rise buildings.

[Nine seconds left——! ]

He put on the cloak and lightly pressed the buttons on his chest. After a blurry flash of light and shadow, the whole room became empty.

[Four seconds——]

With a sound that made one's teeth ache, the window, which was already somewhat rusty and aged, was forcibly opened to its limit, and the cold wind rushed in violently! Several report sheets on the floor inside the house were suddenly lifted up!
[——Now! ]

The next moment, the two of them jumped out from the howling wind!
