Teacher Xia Lai is also teaching in Kivotos today

However, after browsing the contents of the card, Noah couldn't help but chuckle.

"The person who designed this notice is indeed very interesting, and it seems that he has some experience in reading books. But it looks a bit superficial."

"Noah, do you understand the contents of this notice?"

"More than half, at least I know the time and goal of this Joker classmate."

Noah said this and pointed his finger at the card.

"Let's start with the simplest. The words about Orion mentioned in the letter refer to the story of Scorpio. In that novel, Orion once boasted that no prey could escape his grasp. But his arrogance angered Hera, the queen of heaven, so she sent a poisonous scorpion to attack Orion from the dark. But later, although Orion was stung by the scorpion and poisoned, he also killed the scorpion. So the scorpion was raised to the sky and became Scorpio. In that novel, the time represented by Scorpio is from 9 to 11 pm. This should be the time when she took action."

Noah then pointed to the first sentence.

"As for the first sentence, although I didn't understand it for the moment, I think since it was delivered to Yuka-chan's table, it should be related to you. I remember that Yuka-chan seemed to have confiscated a lot of things a while ago, right?"

Hearing Noah's question, Yuka thought for a moment and nodded.

"So, did you receive anything similar to a mirror?"

"Mirror?"

Yuka was stunned for a moment, then showed a look of realization.

"Yes, I went to the Ministry of Truth a few days ago and confiscated their equipment that stored the program called "Mirror"."

"Hmm... I guess this program should have a function to crack passwords or something like that?"

Seeing Yuuka nod, Noah also said with a smile.

"If that's the case, then that's right. The word 'jian' also means mirror in Shanhaijing Academy. This makes sense. The 'mirror' that Yuka-chan confiscated is the target of this Joker."

"... Could it be that those guys from the Ministry of Truth are planning to take the Mirror back from us?"

Looking at Yuuka who looked helpless, Noah couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Do you think those hacks at the Ministry of Truth could write something like this?"

"makes sense……"

As Yuuka sighed, Noah looked at the last sentence and frowned slightly.

"As for the last sentence... The Sword of St. George is the sword that slays dragons, but I don't quite understand what this means."

At this moment, Yuuka, who was already troubled by this fancy explanation, let out a sigh of relief.

"In any case, since the enemy's target is the [Mirror] stored in the custody, we just need to focus on defending that place. I will ask C&C to go there immediately to defend it. What's more, the security system of the Millennium Tower itself is already perfect enough. Even if this guy comes, I am confident that I can make her return empty-handed!"

However, at this moment, Noah seemed to remember something and couldn't help but frowned slightly.

"Yuuka-chan. You must not let your guard down at times like this... I just felt that this style seemed familiar, but now I seem to remember it."

Facing Yuuka who looked at him with a hint of confusion, Noah continued.

"Do you remember who escaped from the Correction Bureau when you went to help the teacher recapture Xialai?"

"I remember... the ones who escaped seemed to be some bad students, and... the [Seven Prisoners]?"

Almost at the moment when they said this word, Yuuka and Noah's eyes suddenly lit up and said in unison.

"The merciful thief!"

Chapter 32: First Battle Victory

"Light"

What was displayed on the monitoring screen was Alice uttering those powerful words, and the sword of light in her hand instantly emitting a dazzling beam of light, which blew away the gate of the Millennium Tower along with the surrounding defensive robots.

"How come even the game development department is involved in this matter? Or...is this all predicted by that thief?"

Watching the scene on the screen where Alice broke into the Millennium Tower with the Sword of Light, killing everyone, Yuka rubbed her head in distress.

"Send all nearby defense robots over! Make sure to stop Alice's actions!"

After Yuuka gave the order, the girl in maid outfit who had been standing behind her smiled softly and spoke.

"Yuuka, do you need my help?"

Hearing this, Yuka hesitated for a moment and then shook her head slightly.

"…Not for now. If the person who sent the notice is really the 'Kind Thief', then we must take all necessary measures to prevent all possible situations."

--------

When Alice, who had already broken into the first floor of the Millennium Tower, was "killing everyone" with the sword of light in hand, three figures who had been waiting for a long time slowly appeared on the roof of the data center not far from the Millennium Tower.

The cloak fluttered in the evening breeze, making a clacking sound.

"I said, you don't have to hug me so tightly..."

Lin En, who had already changed into a full set of equipment, lowered his head with a wry smile and looked at the two sisters who were hugging his waist tightly from both sides.

"But...but, if you fall from such a high place, it will definitely hurt a lot, right?!"

After following Lin En to the edge of the roof of the data center and looking down, Tao Jing's face suddenly turned pale.

Although Midori's face looked a little bad, when she heard Tao Jing say this, she spoke to the other party.

"So, sister, you should eat less snacks. With your weight, you will definitely drag the teacher down."

"What?! No way! I'm cheating on you! You're the one who ate the potato chips I hid in the cupboard, right?!"

"My sister's name isn't written on the bag of potato chips, so how can she say it's hers?"

"That... that's just something I forgot to write! And can't you recognize whether it's your snack?!"

Listening to the sisters arguing over such trivial matters again, Lin En rubbed his temples with a headache, and then pressed the communicator hanging on his ear.

"Are you ready?"

The moment Lin En asked, Maki's confident voice immediately rang out in the communicator.

"It's a piece of cake! It's just a camera in a data center. It doesn't take much effort to hack into it."

Hearing Maki's answer, Lin En couldn't help but feel ashamed.

You know, the data center of Millennium Science and Technology Academy is not only a data center with a large number of servers and data communication devices, but also stores a lot of valuable research data of Millennium Science and Technology Academy.

But in Maki's words, it felt like walking in her own backyard...

Lin En, who was secretly complaining in his heart, suddenly remembered that the Ministry of Truth had easily arranged an identity for Alice as a student of the Millennium Science and Technology Academy a few days ago, and he couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

Well, to them, this kind of place is really like a back garden.

At the same time, a sudden strong wind blew onto everyone on the roof.

"It's now!"

Almost at the same moment Maki said this, Lin En spoke to the two people whose attention was drawn away by the strong wind.

"Momoi and Midori, hold on tight."

"Eh?"

"Ah."

Amid the two people's different reactions, Lin En jumped from the edge of the roof of the data center into the air, and at the same time opened the paraglider that he had used several times.

No, at this moment, with the miraculous modification of the engineering department, this originally rough hang glider has now become a powered glider with a certain degree of autonomous propulsion.

Therefore, Lin En, who was flying the glider, was able to take Momoi and Midori with him and ride on the sudden strong wind to reach the top of the Millennium Tower, the tallest building in the Millennium Science Academy, at the fastest speed.

"The initial operation was successful. The next step is up to you, Maki."

"Hey, it's a piece of cake!"

--------

"...I was wondering if the Game Club had some other plan, but I didn't expect Alice to break through alone."

Looking at Alice who fell to the ground after being defeated by many robots, Yuuka sighed helplessly.

"This child is Alice, right? She looks really cute. I suddenly have the idea of ​​training her to be the sixth maid agent. Can I take her away?"

"Although I can understand your thoughts, but not now."

Yuka shook her head slightly.

"Because she is now the criminal who attacked the student union... Anyway, let's put her in the student union's detention room first."

At this point, Yuka looked somewhat dumbfounded.

"But... I didn't expect that she would choose to force the door open in order to break through the fingerprint authentication system."

"And I've just confirmed that the fingerprint authentication systems at the gate and the elevator can't be repaired in a short time. If we need to fix them, we can only replace them with new ones."

"If that's the case, then replace it with a new one... No."

Yuuka, who was answering the maid girl's words, noticed the weapon Alice was using.

"This weapon... could it be that it was made by the Engineering Department? Could it be that even the Engineering Department is involved in this matter?"

After rubbing her head with a headache, Yuuka gave the order.

"Xia, you must immediately purchase the most powerful security system to replace it, but don't use the one made by the engineering department."

"I understand."

However, at the moment when the girl called Qian answered, a slightly shrill alarm suddenly sounded.

Before Yuuka could ask, the light above their heads flickered slightly.

Then, with a light "click" sound, the entire monitoring room went dark in an instant.

"Is the power cut off..."

While Yuka was muttering to herself, Akane had already picked up her pistol and the shield that was placed aside.

"Do you need me to go out?"

Hearing this, Yuka shook her head slightly.

"No need. If it's just a power outage, we have prepared a backup power supply. Besides, if we rush out now, we might fall into the enemy's trap. We just need to stay alert."

"I understand."

Chapter 33: Mantis stalks the cicada?!

"despair--"

When the power went out at the Millennium Tower, Lin En landed on the roof of the Millennium Tower in a glider.

"Fortunately, the Ministry of Truth didn't miscalculate the wind direction tonight, otherwise I might have become the first thief to crash into the outer wall of a building due to poor control of the glider..."

After complaining aloud, Lin untied the grappling rope that had tied Momoi and Midori to him just in case.

“Wow wow wow… When I almost hit the outer wall just now, I thought I was doomed…”

Although she reached the top of the Millennium Tower safely, Tao Jing still looked frightened.

"Stupid...stupid sister, you, you should have some faith in the teacher!"

Although her expression also looked a little bad, Midori said this as if she would not miss any opportunity to confront her sister.

Seeing that Tao Jing was about to say something, Lin En sighed first, and then gave each of them a slap.

"When you two quarrel, please consider the occasion!"

Looking at the two people who squatted down with their hands covering their foreheads, Lin En shook his head helplessly.

Only at this moment do the two of them look like sisters.

Originally there were patrolling drones on the top floor and nearby, but because Alice made too much noise, most of the drones gathered towards Alice.

Although Lin En and the others had learned that Alice had been defeated and imprisoned by Yuka, the drones could not return for a while. Even if there were some scattered drones nearby, they were all eliminated by the Ministry of Truth through remote hacking.

"Ten seconds left before switching to backup power."

Hearing Qing's voice coming from the communicator, Lin En nodded slightly, took out the lock picking tool, and came to the door on the roof.
