Chapter 2023 Mace05-15-12 00:03:
The initial curiosity and excitement did not last long and soon subsided. Miss Hatsuyuki thought of the maxims in the scriptures.
Don't peek into the temptations from underground, as they can easily bring disaster upon yourself if you are not careful.
The canon here refers to the Lateran Canon, which is the textbook she studies on a daily basis. In comparison, Kjerag's is much simpler, basically consisting of behavioral codes that people are familiar with, and does not contain any poetic verses.
Then again, will you bring disaster upon yourself?
No, she thought, the reason why her behavior and thoughts were so unusual was 90% due to curiosity and 10% due to the peculiarity of Miss Olicia.
The 10% factor that is unique to Miss Olicia can be further broken down. Ninety percent of it should be attributed to her unique thinking, and one percent to... appearance.
She couldn't help but turn her head to take another look. Although she only saw the side profile, her brain automatically imagined the other person's full body image, white short fur ears, soft eyebrows, slender waist, shaking white tail...
It was indeed beautiful. Her heart beat faster and faster. She felt inexplicably that such a Miss White Wolf was very suitable to be hugged and sniffed around.
Why is her mind so unusual and strange?
Is it because he knows that he likes girls? Or is it because he saw something he shouldn’t have seen yesterday, which made him have thoughts he shouldn’t have?
Should 90% of the factors really be attributed to curiosity? Or should it be the other way around?
She realized that her thoughts were a little confused and she felt a little uneasy, so she immediately said to herself, "Miss Olicia has someone she likes," to interrupt her thoughts, and she felt a little more sober.
When will Miss Kuranta come back?
That person had white hair and a white tail, and her dressing style was very similar to Miss Olicia's, but she also had white hair and a white tail, but with a little bit of grey interspersed in it.
As for dressing, Miss Olicia is as afraid of cold as she is, so the two of them can dress very similarly. When going to the ceremony, the other even has to wear the thick clothes she gave her.
Hmm, why do I compare these? Is there any point?
At this moment, Chuxue suddenly felt that she was particularly reluctant to meet Miss Kuranta. She had been staying with Miss Olisia for some time, and it would be bad if she came back.
There just didn't happen to be too many key points in using a portable computer, and Miss Bailang had basically finished explaining them. Chuxue found an opportunity to make excuses, saying that she had too many tasks to do and needed to go to the director's office in front to be busy. Then, with Miss Bailang seeing her off, she took the computer and left.
In fact, her excuses were true. Part of the ceremony needed to be prepared at the foot of the holy mountain, and the other part was secretly moved to the board of directors' office and processed by computer.
She had never told this matter to anyone, mainly because she was worried that some people might not be able to accept it, because it sounded strange that the Saint Lady used computer spreadsheets and documents to help arrange the ceremony.
But this method is indeed much more convenient than planning with scrap paper. After she learned how to use it, she could never go back. She is still thinking that when she becomes proficient in using Miss Olicia's portable computer in the future, she won't have to come to the board of directors' office again and again to use the computer.
It was only about five minutes' walk from the business room to the office on the fourth floor of the board of directors. After Miss Chuxue returned, she found that she could not concentrate on her work immediately.
She looked out the window toward the guest room downstairs for a while, then cast her eyes on the plain white laptop.
Will Miss Olivia put it on her legs, on the bed, or on the table in the car, on the aircraft, or in the room, and then start working on it with full concentration?
Was this computer used to handle Bingshi's various business tasks, or for Miss Olicia's personal entertainment?
It will not be idle in the future. It will handle the daily task planning of the saint, and can also be used to look up information or read some leisure reading materials.
She felt a strange connection between her and Miss Olivia.
When Miss Xue finally put her thoughts into work, she suddenly received a text message from her brother's guard mace.
Miss Mace is from Caprini. Her original identity was a Knight of Casimir. It is said that she was persecuted by the Chamber of Commerce. Finally, she was brought to Kjerag by her brother and was responsible for security work.
The other party is usually serious and never calls me. He only contacts me via text messages when there is something. He went to the north to handle business with his brother a few days ago. Now he is sending a text message to say that he is back?
She clicked on the message and saw the message from the other party that he had returned:
"Lady Saint, I just returned to Dakaran City. Where are you now?"
Chu Xue first thought of Miss Olicia's matter and quickly typed a line of words and sent it over: "I'm busy at the board of directors' office. When do you plan to discuss business with Bing Shi?"
"The president hasn't come back yet. He and Nosis have to wait until tomorrow afternoon."
"Are you the only one coming back?"
"just me."
It’s a bit strange, Chuxue thought, her brother only brought Jian and one bodyguard with him, why did he suddenly let her come back alone?
"Did my brother tell me anything?"
"No, the president only asked me to be responsible for the security during the ceremony as usual."
"Okay, I'll be at the board of directors' office and won't be leaving for a while. Miss Jian can take a rest first and come over anytime you're free."
Chuxue put down her phone. Although she didn't quite understand her brother's unusual behavior, there were so many incomprehensible actions taken by the other party that she didn't care much about it. In addition, she was busy with work and the ceremony would be the day after tomorrow, so she quickly focused all her attention on work.
……
On the other side, after communicating with the Saint, Jian quickly left the station, while carefully observing the flow of people on the street.
It's not that SilverAsh didn't give her any instructions, but while giving her instructions, he also told her not to tell the Saint about those things, because at this stage the Saint should devote herself to the arrangements of the ceremony instead of being distracted by other things.
The story begins this morning, when SilverAsh suddenly announced that he had learned some secret information that a Knight Casimir of suspicious identity appeared near the city of Kalan.
In response, she was urgently dispatched to Kalan City to be responsible for the security of the Saint, and at the same time to conduct protective observation (surveillance) of Bingshi’s personnel, because if the Chamber of Commerce arrived, it would most likely be Bingshi’s fault.
According to the available information, there are three people working in Ice Stone Company, two of whom live in a tourist hotel, and the person in charge, Miss Olicia, lives in a business room in the board of directors' office.
The tourist hotel was the closest to her location, so she planned to go there first and then go to the director's office.
Chapter 2023 Monitoring Equipment 05-16-12 00:02:
To Jian's surprise, the situation of these two employees was not convenient for investigation.
Their room was on the second floor, and the only place that could be observed from the outside was a window, but this window faced a clean and deserted street corner. Anyone who appeared there would be extremely conspicuous and would become the object of observation.
The small setback was not a big deal. She guessed that the two Ice Stone employees just happened to choose a good position. Anyway, there were better means now.
She carried with her the miniature camera prepared by Nosis. As long as she installed one in the hotel lobby and near the rooms of the two employees, she would be able to achieve the desired effect.
The task after that is simple. Check on time to see if there are any suspicious people approaching.
Thinking of this, she quickly walked into the tourist hotel and nodded to the owner who was flipping through a magazine.
The hotel is a hotel specially set up by Kalan Trade to accommodate business guests. The owner knows her identity, so he will not question her actions. She can choose any angle to install Nosis's surveillance equipment.
To be honest, her most outstanding feature is her personal strength. Installing surveillance cameras is totally inconsistent with her usual style. Unfortunately, the circumstances of the mission are special. If she wants to take everything into consideration, she still has to rely on this little trick of Nosis.
She did a good job. The surveillance location she chose ensured both concealment and observation of a larger area. There were some tricks involved that were enthusiastically taught to her by the security experts she had worked with.
……
On the second floor, in Miss Razer and Franka's room.
"Razer, Razer, come here." Franka stared at the computer with great interest.
"What's wrong?" Miss Razer put down the gun for maintenance.
"I came to see the surveillance, and it seems that someone is not right."
Miss Razer sat down next to Franka and looked at the computer. There were four monitoring locations on it, namely the block outside the hotel, the hotel lobby, the corridor on the second floor of the hotel, and the corner of the hotel stairs.
In the second surveillance footage, the back of a Caprini man can be seen. He is holding a small white object in his hand and standing near a potted plant against the wall, gesturing and observing.
"What do you think she's doing?" Franca asked.
"I can't tell. She's definitely not watering the flowers." Razer stared at the screen intently and suddenly said, "She reached out her hand. Right now, pause and zoom in on what's in her hand."
Franka moved the mouse, captured the image she needed, and then enlarged it to its maximum size. As she looked at it, she said, "This should be a miniature camera. The location you chose is not bad. It's exactly the same style as before."
"This installation method is easy to be detected. I no longer do this." Razer looked at the back on the screen carefully, and suddenly said thoughtfully, "Rewind the video a little."
“Where to retreat to?”
"When she first came over, I saw what she looked like. I always felt that she looked a little familiar."
"Yeah, weird, I feel the same way."
Franca operated the computer and found the video of the Caprini people entering the hotel. She took a closer look and opened her mouth in surprise.
"Isn't this Miss Jian? We are familiar faces. When Boss Silver Gray hired us two years ago, we worked with her for a while. I remember you were the one who taught her how to use the camera."
"It's true that I taught her, but who did she install this to monitor?"
"It may be the daily needs of the store. You see, the store owner doesn't care about her. It's not easy for us to operate in that position."
"This kind of miniature camera shouldn't be needed for daily surveillance. Wait, she should have installed it. It looks like she's going up the stairs?"
"That's right." Franca pointed to the surveillance screen at the corner of the stairs. "She walked up the stairs with something in her hand, probably a camera. What on earth is she going to do?"
"I don't know, let's see."
"She went upstairs. Do you think she knew she was being spied on?"
"It's highly likely that we don't know. Only our Black Steel or Rhine Life's security experts can prevent this."
"Hey, this is quite interesting."
……
Jian walked up the stairs to the corridor on the second floor and checked the house numbers of the rooms in the corridor one by one. After finding his target, he stepped back to a suitable position and installed a camera in an inconspicuous corner on the outside window sill.
The corridor was very quiet, and this kind of silence could easily give people the illusion that their every move was being observed.
Jian knew that it was all an illusion. She just felt it was a bit strange. She normally wouldn't care about such things, so why did she become so suspicious today?
……
In the room, when Franca realized what was happening, she could no longer remain calm: "What should we do? She is actually installing surveillance on us? Could it be related to Miss Olicia?"
Miss Razer said calmly, "Don't be nervous. At least Miss Olicia is definitely fine. We just discussed the intelligence gathering issue with her."
"What if something happens later? Is there any conspiracy? You know the strength of the mace. Even if we double our combined strength, we still can't beat her."
"Don't be impatient. We are in Kalan City. We can't act rashly. We have worked with Miss Mace before and know her character. We are also familiar with Boss Silverash as her previous employer. So overall, I am more willing to believe that this is some kind of insurance measure rather than a conspiracy."
"So should we just leave it alone? She looks like she's about to leave."
"No, we are Miss Olicia's people now. We need to talk to Mace and at least get some information. We will report the matter to Miss Olicia later and she will decide what to do. Well, let me pretend to go out and see her by chance, and then talk to her."
"Okay, but let me do it. You're too serious and not good at acting."
Miss Razer thought about it and nodded: "Okay, go over there and tell her I'm here too, and invite her over to chat."
……
Jian checked the camera one last time and felt that the situation was fine. She was about to leave the hotel and go to the Kalan Trade Directorate when she suddenly noticed that the door of the target room she was observing was opened.
She stood there calmly, pretending to be looking at the scenery outside the window, waiting for the staff of Bingshi Company to pass by. While waiting, she also observed the employee out of the corner of her eye.
The visitor was a Miss Wolper, holding a stack of briefcases and a pen stuck loosely in the left button of her chest.
As the two of them got closer, Miss Wolper raised her hand to lift her hair, and the pen was accidentally hit by her arm, fell to the ground with a whoosh, and then rolled to her heels with a clink.
Jian bent down to pick up the pen and handed it to Miss Wolper. Then he saw a surprised and familiar face:
"Mace, why are you here?"
Chapter 2023: Reunion with Old Friends05-16-17 00:02:
I could never have imagined that things would turn out like this.
She was sitting on the sofa as a guest, with Franka next to her and Miss Razer diagonally opposite her. These two were the few acquaintances she had.
Two years ago, in order to achieve that goal (in Mace's opinion, SilverAsh's original goal was to seize power in order to plan Kjerag's development), Enthiotis secretly gathered a lot of armed forces, including the elite operators of Blacksteel International, the two in front of him.
Razer, Franka, a mercenary from Colombia, and herself, the four of them directly obey SilverAsh's orders and work together to carry out the most dangerous and difficult tasks.
With her professional skills and careful planning, Miss Razer quickly became the commander of the four people. Although they only spent more than a month together, the process of working together and rescuing others always left a deep impression on people.
Mace also learned a lot from Razer. She has always admired this short Vaifan.
As for why the identities of Razer and others were not clearly stated in the intelligence she received, that was actually a very normal thing. The people from Black Steel International were secretly invited to Shelagh, and the mission was kept secret throughout. Even the Saint was not aware of the existence of these people, let alone ordinary staff.
Only she, the president, and Nosis could recognize the two people from Black Steel International at a glance. It must be said that this meeting was a wonderful coincidence.
"After that incident, did you go to Bingshi?" asked Jian.
Miss Razer shook her head. "No, we went back to the headquarters first, and then were sent to Tremont to help some technology companies with security and transportation. Later, we were planning to take on a contract from Rhodes Island, but something went wrong, so we were assigned to Icestone."
"The change happened because someone paid a large sum of money," Miss Franka added happily.
"Have you been working for Icestone since then?"
Razer responded, "That's right, so we will follow Miss Olicia to Shelag. Mace, have you been following Mr. Enchiodis for the past two years?"
"Ah."
