"And the walls and doors of the room where Pandora's ring is stored are specially customized."

"It can suppress the use of superpowers to the greatest extent."

"In that room, even if someone could use all the Pandora rings in the room."

"It's impossible for the other party to leave that room in a short time."

"If the opponent is really strong enough to break through that room quickly."

"If we rush over, we will be throwing our heads away."

"The little guys will never get away, and we can't stop the big guys if they go."

"The general once said that protecting the ring is only the second most important thing. The first most important thing is to cherish your own life."

"So walk slowly over there."

Young man: "Got it! Captain!"

The middle-aged man continued.

"As for the surveillance footage, I've just checked it, and there's no sign of tampering."

"We'll know the specific situation once we go and see it."

After hearing this, the young man nodded.

……

--A few minutes later--

Everyone looked at the room where Pandora's ring was placed through the surveillance camera and fell into deep thought.

At this moment in the room, the alarm was still sounding and the door was still closed.

But all the Pandora rings in the room had disappeared along with their bases!

After seeing this, the middle-aged man silently raised his hand and pinched his face to confirm that he was not dreaming.

Just as the young man was frantically preparing to open the blocked door.

When entering the room to take a closer look at the situation.

The middle-aged man spoke.

"Don't open the door to the room yet."

"This is most likely an illusion created by someone with super powers."

"So we could escape the room while we discovered the ring was gone and opened the door to check."

After hearing this, the young man felt that this was not impossible.

So he immediately withdrew his hand.

The middle-aged man looked at the soldiers behind him and gave orders.

"You, go and disarm the alarm."

"You, go investigate the positioning devices installed on all Pandora's rings."

"Take your men to close all exits of the stronghold and search every area inside!"

"Search for any suspicious individuals in the base."

"The rest of you, all remain on standby and guard this place. No one is allowed to enter or leave, or open the room."

"I'll go and report this to the General."

"Yes!"

……

Soon, everyone began to make arrangements in an orderly manner.

……

——The cafeteria in the underground base——

Bai Qiuyuan was standing in front of a huge three-layer strawberry cream cake.

"Gurgle~" (stomach growling)

After his physical strength returned to that of an ordinary person, Bai Qiuyuan found that he became more likely to feel hungry.

Originally, Bai Qiuyuan was ready to leave.

But after smelling the aroma of freshly baked cake, Bai Qiuyuan was immediately attracted to the kitchen.

Bai Qiuyuan: "..."

[Now everyone's attention is focused on Pandora's ring.]

【It should be okay to sneak a little bit, right? 】

【How about just using the editor to copy one? 】

……

"Hmm? Whose child are you?"

Just as Bai Qiuyuan was about to eat secretly, a woman's voice sounded behind Bai Qiuyuan.

Bai Qiuyuan turned around and looked behind him, and immediately saw a black-haired woman who was about twenty-five years old.

The woman was wearing a white casual outfit with a pink apron tied in front.

Her long black hair was tied into a standard high ponytail.

The woman looked very pretty, with a youthful look on her face that did not match her age.

At this moment, the woman was holding a serrated knife specially used for cutting cakes. Obviously, the cake belonged to this woman.

The woman was shocked as she looked at the long-haired boy in front of her who was wearing a sweatshirt and had his hands in his pockets.

What a cute child!

Bai Qiuyuan's extremely deceptive appearance instantly made the woman let down her guard.

Bai Qiuyuan: "..."

[How could his divine sense not detect her? ...]

"Gurgle~" (stomach growling)

The woman laughed after hearing Bai Qiuyuan's stomach growling.

"You are hungry?"

"That's perfect! Come and try the cake I made!~"

"Little brother! Which part do you want to eat?"

"Sister will help you cut it~"

……

Not long after, Bai Qiuyuan brought a napkin and a silver spoon and sat at a table.

In front of him was a large piece of cut cake!

Bai Qiuyuan quickly said thank you and started enjoying the dessert with a contented look on his face.

The woman looked at the ten extremely conspicuous rings on Bai Qiuyuan's hands and wondered in her heart.

[Are these... Pandora rings? ]

【Is he an enemy? 】

[No, upon closer inspection, these rings appear to be different from the Pandora rings I'm familiar with.]

[It’s not the same kind of ring…]

When the woman thought of this, she looked at Bai Qiuyuan who was eating cake with a happy expression on his face.

Bai Qiuyuan's defenseless look at this moment made it impossible for the woman to associate him with her hostile forces.

woman:"……"

[Maybe just some ordinary rings?]

[If he was an enemy, he would have run away the moment he saw me.]

Perhaps because she saw that Bai Qiuyuan liked her cake very much, the corners of the woman's mouth suddenly rose slightly.

The woman inexplicably felt a sense of accomplishment in feeding the fish.

The woman looked at Bai Qiuyuan and asked with a smile.

"My name is An Yingying."

"Little brother, what's your name?"

Bai Qiuyuan took a bite of the cake and answered subconsciously after hearing An Yingying's question.

"My name is Bai Qiuyuan."

An Yingying asked with a smile.

"Brother Bai, how did you find this place?"

"I remember my cake shop was closed."

After hearing this, Bai Qiuyuan immediately looked away guiltily while eating the cake.

An Yingying smiled when she saw Bai Qiuyuan's guilty but greedy look.

"Forget it. People who like to eat cake are generally not bad people."

Bai Qiuyuan, who had just stolen all the Pandora rings: "..."

[A phantom pain appears in the non-existent conscience...]

At this time, the middle-aged man came to the kitchen and explained as soon as he entered the kitchen.

"Report to the General! All Pandora's rings have been stolen!"

"We suspect the stronghold has been invaded by a Pandora Ring bearer!"

The middle-aged man stopped talking midway.

Because the middle-aged man discovered that in addition to An Yingying, there was also a child in the kitchen.

And this child, whom he had never seen before, had ten rings on his hands!

It looks as suspicious as it can be!

An Yingying is not a fool either.

A child of unknown origin appears in the underground base just when all Pandora's rings disappear.

No one would believe that Bai Qiuyuan had nothing to do with the missing ring!

An Yingying looked at Bai Qiuyuan and smiled with narrowed eyes.

"Little brother, is the ring... on your hand?"

Bai Qiuyuan ate the cake in his mouth and looked at An Yingying, lost in thought.

Through the great deduction technique, Bai Qiuyuan learned the general information about An Yingying.

An Yingying, female, 26 years old, possessor of the [Assassin's Power], one of the five generals of Country J, and the highest-ranking commander of this underground stronghold. Hobby: sweets.

Bai Qiuyuan, distracted by the cake and not checking the other person's identity immediately, said: "..." (The passive ability of the Calming Technique is triggered!)

[Is this why there's a dessert shop at the base? ]

【…】

Next time, I should eat a full meal before going out.

……

【381】Bribery

Because Bai Qiuyuan has ten rings.
