Dragon Raja: I started out as Erii's older brother

"The potted plant at the end of the corridor on the left is an absolute blind spot for surveillance cameras."

…………

"Turn right, there's a patrolman at the corner ahead, he'll stop there for thirty seconds to smoke a cigarette."

The doctor lowered his voice, like a professional GPS navigator.

Each time, she accurately guided Su Mo and Erii along the way.

Therefore, professional matters should be handled by professionals.

. . .

With the doctor's guidance, the three of them stayed close to the wall, perfectly avoiding all possible risks of exposure.

Su Mo was dressed in his "cleaner" outfit, carrying a crowbar, crouching low, and moving with what he thought were very professional stealthy steps.

He felt like he was possessed by Solid Snake at that moment, incredibly handsome.

Just as he was engrossed in his role-playing, his left shoelace inadvertently got caught on his right trouser leg.

"Holy crap!"

Su Mo instantly lost her balance and was about to fall straight to the ground.

The first thought that flashed through his mind was:

[Oh no, that earth-shattering fall of mine will definitely attract all the enemies in the entire manor.]

My prison break plan is ending before it even began.

At the critical moment, the doctor next to him reacted quickly, grabbed him by the back of his collar, and pulled him back.

"Be careful!" the doctor said in a low voice, his tone full of helplessness towards his incompetent teammate.

Su Mo regained her footing, her face flushing red and then turning pale.

[This script is all wrong! I've seen heroes save damsels in distress, and I've heard of heroes saving other heroes, but what kind of trope is this—a hacker saving a secret agent?]

He coughed awkwardly twice, tied his shoelaces, and continued walking.

Erii followed behind, watching Su Mo's comical appearance as he almost tripped and fell flat on his face.

Her fair, smooth shoulders trembled slightly, as if she were suppressing a laugh.

After walking for a while, they came to a fork in the road.

On the wall, a red, round button stood out prominently in the dim light.

That's a manual fire alarm.

Erii's curiosity was instantly piqued.

Scenes from playing games seemed to appear in her little mind.

Pressing this color button usually brings good fortune.

For example, a hidden treasure chest might appear, or a secret passage might be opened.

So she stretched out her slender finger and was about to press the button.

"Pikachu! Don't touch that!"

Su Mo caught a glimpse of her movements out of the corner of his eye and was nearly scared out of his wits.

He pounced like a hungry tiger, leaping forward.

He covered Erii's mouth with one hand and grabbed her finger that was about to cause trouble with the other.

"My goodness, if we press that button, the three of us will be beaten to death!"

Su Mo looked at Erii with a tearful expression and said helplessly.

Erii blinked her innocent big eyes at him, seemingly not understanding why he was reacting so strongly.

After Su Mo finally managed to calm Erii down, the three of them set off again.

Finally, with the doctor's precise navigation, they arrived safely at the entrance to the treasure vault.

It was a massive, incredibly heavy door made from a single piece of alloy.

Just looking at it gives people a sense of indestructible oppression.

Beside the door was a high-tech-looking keypad input device.

"Otacom, it's up to you now!" Su Mo patted the doctor on the shoulder and gave him a trusting look.

The doctor nodded, walked to the keypad, took a deep breath, and extended his finger.

Su Mo and Erii both held their breath.

They expected to see a complex code long enough to circle the Earth, or that they would need to use some kind of iris or voiceprint verification.

As it turned out, the doctor simply pressed six keys on the keyboard without any haste.

"1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6".

"Beep—"

A soft sound.

The massive alloy door, which looked capable of withstanding missile bombardment, slowly opened a crack with a "click".

The air seemed to freeze at that moment.

Su Mo remained frozen in place, mouth agape, unable to react for a long time.

He turned his head and looked at the doctor with the eyes of someone looking at an alien, his voice trembling.

"Was your family's security system outsourced to Pinduoduo and then ripped off?"

The doctor adjusted his glasses and answered expressionlessly.

"This is called returning to simplicity!"

"The simplest passwords are often the hardest to guess."

Su Mo felt that her intelligence had been insulted.

He pushed open the door and went in first.

The vault was spacious inside, but dimly lit.

The air was filled with a smell of metal and dust.

Su Mo took out a flashlight from her backpack and turned it on.

The moment the beam of light illuminated what lay ahead, he froze again.

In the passage ahead, a dozen or so red "lines" stretched out in a crisscross pattern.

The wires reflected an eerie light under the flashlight beam.

They connect from one end of the wall to the other, forming a seemingly complex defensive network.

"Infrared security system."

The doctor whispered behind him, "Touching any of them will set off the alarm."

Su Mo's eyes instantly lit up.

[It's here! It's here! A classic stealth game level!]

He immediately took off his backpack, handed it to the doctor, and then began to move his hands and feet, doing stretching exercises.

He would use his agile figure, like a secret agent in a movie, to pass through these deadly infrared beams.

He assumed a backbend position, leaned back, and slowly crawled under the first "red line".

The movements were precise and the posture was graceful.

"Snake, I think..." The doctor was about to say something from behind.

"Don't speak!"

Before the doctor could finish speaking, Su Mo interrupted him and said...

"I am performing a sacred ritual!"

He dodged one, then crawled through another, having a great time.

Erii, out of curiosity, walked up to the pile of "red threads," reached out, and gently tugged at them.

She snapped the thread with ease.

At the break, white cotton fibers were exposed.

This is not infrared radiation at all.

These are clearly just a few red yarns tied to the wall!

Su Mo, who was striking a pose, froze.

He looked at the broken yarn in Erii's hand, then at his own pretzel-like posture.

He felt like a fool.

A complete idiot, utterly and utterly fooled by the game designers.

He silently straightened up, dusted himself off, and strode past the pile of yarn without expression.

The three of them made their way unimpeded to the deepest part of the treasure vault.

Along the way, Su Mo felt that all the stealth games he had ever played were more difficult than this one.

This even gave him a strong, unreal feeling.

[Am I... being underestimated by these old guys?]

Is the difficulty of this game set a bit too easy?
