(I feel like I was surprised in the book review section)
After Xiao Ran and Luo took out all the things El-Elf had obtained, they stood aside. They could only watch El-Elf start cleaning from the bedroom with a brand new rag, and then put various things on the floor into the cabinets in the bedroom. Watching this scene, the two people really didn't know what to do.
"I will do the rest. I have seen that the things in the kitchen and refrigerator are no longer suitable for use, so I have collected them all and thrown them away. In addition, the garbage classification system in this country is quite troublesome. The things outside the door are not suitable for ordinary garbage disposal. You can put those things in the minivan and buy the daily necessities and food we need in the next period at the nearby supermarket."
El-Elf's calm voice sounded in the room again. Xiao Ran and Luo looked at each other and suddenly felt as if they were blind. It was really incredible for the two of them that an agent, an ice man, and a person who accompanied guns all day had such special housekeeping abilities.
Xiao Ran suddenly felt a little lucky that he brought El-Elf with him. Otherwise, Sheryl would simply be a queen who has no fingers in the water and cleans the house. This kind of thing is not reliable at all, let alone getting money to buy weapons. Although Xiao Ran has some ability to take care of himself, it is really sad to ask him to take care of the lives of three people.
But now the status among the three people has obviously changed. After entering the house, El-Elf became the commander of the three. Therefore, Xiao Ran and Luo also quickly took action regarding El-Elf's arrangements. After putting all the boxes piled outside the door into the minivan, they left with the money.
Xiao Ran and Luo, who came to Chofu City for the first time, did the same as when El-Elf first came here. They selectively walked around the stronghold to understand the surrounding environment, and then took the subway to walk around Jindai High School. Finally, they found a large shopping mall and bought a lot of things before returning to the stronghold.
By the time Xiao Ran and Luo returned to the stronghold, the originally messy suite had completely changed its appearance. The messy and somewhat dirty appearance had turned into a simple, clean and refreshing appearance. All the weapons and ammunition stacked on the floor had been put away. A telescope with a wired stand was placed at the window, and a row of useless equipment and screens were neatly placed on the horizontal table next to the telescope.
El-Elf, who was originally debugging the equipment, probably stopped what he was doing after hearing the footsteps of the two people. He stood up and watched the two people put down their things before nodding to them. "I have put all the things away. The heavy weapons are all in the closet in the bedroom. The general weapons are in the bedroom boxes, under the sofa, and in the shoe cabinet by the door. They can be found immediately when encountering any situation."
El-Elf took the two of them around the cleaned room and told them where the various weapons and ammunition were placed. He also told them about the purpose and use of the equipment on the table. Xiao Ran and Luo were not stupid people. They were even more receptive and smarter than ordinary people. El-Elf just told them once and they already knew how to operate the equipment.
After saying this, El-Elf was carrying a backpack and was about to leave. Seeing El-Elf's appearance, Xiao Ran quickly grabbed it and asked, "Where are you going?"
El-Elf turned around and said slightly strangely, "Of course, go to the target's home to install corresponding listening and monitoring equipment."
"Wait a minute, wait a minute." Xiao Ran quickly pulled El-Elf back to sit on the sofa and said, "First, check if there is a person named Sousuke Sagara in Chidori Kaname's class list."
Xiao Ran naturally knew that the man named Sousuke Sagara would protect Chidori Kaname, and even installed a lot of radio equipment in Chidori Kaname's room. Without knowing whether the plot had officially begun, how could Xiao Ran let El-Elf run over there rashly.
However, when he heard this unfamiliar name, El-Elf shook his head without even taking out his handheld computer. "In my memory, there is no person with this name among the class members of Chidori Kaname, and there is no person with the same name in the entire Jindai High School."
Xiao Ran raised his eyebrows when he heard El-Elf's answer, sat down next to El-Elf, and thought to himself, "If there is no Sousuke Sagara, it means that the plot has not officially started yet. Three months of Main Mission has indeed left a lot of preparation time for the participants, so whether they choose to protect or control, the conflict in the first mission should break out soon."
Xiao Ran nodded, patted El-Elf on the shoulder and said, "That's okay, but try to be careful when installing the equipment, and install the equipment in a place where even professionals will have difficulty finding it."
"Do you think there will be other people besides us who are eyeing our target, this Sousuke Sagara?" El-Elf frowned, and his eyes flickered for a moment as if he was thinking of something. Seeing his look, Xiao Ran quickly patted his shoulder and said, "Don't be too troublesome. This person is not an enemy. Unless the target is in real danger, we don't need to worry about other things."
"Understood." El-Elf stood up, but this time he put down his backpack and walked out the door. "If you want to install the equipment in a place where it is difficult for professionals to find it, the duration of the equipment's use is the biggest problem. Once it is placed, it is difficult to recycle and replace it, so these surveillance equipment must also be modified. Luo, I need your help, but first I need to buy some other things."
"Okay, okay." Luo nodded and stood up from the monitoring equipment. He waved to Xiao Ran and then followed El-Elf out of the stronghold with his head in his arms. Xiao Ran was so bored that he sat in front of the monitoring equipment and began to try to operate those things.
It wasn't until more than an hour later that El-Elf and Luo returned to the stronghold carrying a lot of things in large and small bags. As soon as they came back, they took out all the things they brought back, and then took out all the small things that were originally intended to be placed in Chidori Kaname's residence.
Pinhole probes, ultra-small sound collectors, real-time monitors, etc. are not much, but the small unit placed in Chidori Kaname is completely enough.
"Because there may be other forces monitoring Chidori Kaname in the future, all the equipment must be modified to prevent interference. In addition, the terminal access is set to use a new communication channel for my computer to communicate. At the same time, because the burial location is inconvenient to recycle, it must be transformed into an external power supply and installed in one go. It also needs to be equipped with a voltage reducer. Finally, in order to prevent detection, it is necessary to add remote on and off functions."
"No problem, it's just a little troublesome. We still need to rewrite all the chips inside the device, which will take some time." Luo nodded. These basic modifications were not difficult for him at all. To him, they were nothing technical. It was just that the equipment was too small and it was a bit troublesome to get started.
According to El-Elf's idea, since it needs to be completely hidden in a place that is difficult for professionals to find, it would be better to bury it directly in the wall. Although it is difficult to recycle, it can be powered through household lines arranged inside the wall. This is why El-Elf requested to add a voltage reducer.
Xiao Ran just watched Luo and El-Elf being so bored until the evening. Seeing that they were so busy that they even forgot the time to eat, Xiao Ran could only cook three bowls of noodles and put them on the table. However, after Xiao Ran took a bite, he decisively poured all three bowls of noodles into the trash can and walked out with the money with a dark face.
"Why is it so delicious and not yet cooked? It seems like I haven't been in the kitchen for many years..."
In any case, the last thing the three of them ate was the takeout brought back by Xiao Ran. It was almost twelve o'clock before Luo and El-Elf completed the transformation of everything. Luo, who had been sitting for a long time, stretched out uncomfortably. Lying on the sofa and being too lazy to move, El-Elf acted as if he had never done anything. He calmly put all the modified things into a backpack, put screwdrivers, tweezers, pliers and other things in it and left the suite.
This place seemed very quiet at twelve o'clock at night. Xiao Ran stood by the window and looked out. Although the sky in the distance was still reflecting a few bright reds and purples, the surrounding residents had basically turned off their lights. Except for a few households and street lights, it could be said to be pitch black.
And in such darkness, Xiao Ran also clearly saw El-Elf carrying a backpack easily climb from the first floor opposite to the balcony on the fourth floor facing him, and then saw the guy fidgeting with the glass door a few times before getting into Chidori Kaname's residence.
El-Elf actually took off his shoes before entering Chidori Kaname's home, and then opened the door and walked in gently. At this time, Chidori Kaname's home was also dark, but with the help of the moonlight projected from the slightly opened curtains, El-Elf could still take in everything in the room.
However, El-Elf didn't pay too much attention to the furnishings in the house. Instead, he walked lightly to the door of the only bedroom in the house. After hearing the steady breathing coming from the door, El-Elf also slowly twisted the door handle, and finally appeared in front of Chidori Kaname's bed without a trace of sound.
Looking at the girl El-Elf on the bed through the moonlight, her expression and eyes did not fluctuate at all. Even Chidori Kaname's innocence that emerged after a deep sleep and the unique charm of the beautiful girl were completely like air in El-Elf's eyes. He extended his right hand to Chidori Kaname without mercy.
A black hand struck towards the top of Chidori Kaname's chest covered with a quilt. Just as he was about to touch Chidori Kaname's smooth and tender skin, he saw the black hand resolutely, swiftly and decisively move from He swept across Chidori Kaname's neck, and at the same time, he pressed heavily near Chidori Kaname's neck, causing Chidori Kaname's body, which had been sleeping soundly, to shake slightly and fall into a true 'sleep'.
At this point, after El-Elf confirmed that the target was unconscious, he acted even more unscrupulously. He walked around the sleeping girl's boudoir and scanned it with his eyes. Then he took out a screwdriver from his backpack and directly pried open a power socket on the wall beside Chidori Kaname's bed. He also put on a pair of plastic gloves and gently pulled out the wiring inside.
In a few minutes, El-Elf put Luo's modified micro sound collector into the space behind the socket, and then spent another minute restoring the socket to its original state, and then started another work. El-Elf found that there was a computer right next to Chidori Kaname's bed, so he started a new job.
First, he gently took off the computer monitor and then quickly disassembled it. He removed the power indicator light on the original display screen and replaced it with the pinhole camera he prepared. Then he quickly restored it to its original state and put the computer monitor back.
After doing this, El-Elf checked it over carefully, and after confirming that there were no errors or omissions, he strode out of the bedroom and gently closed the door. In the next half hour, El-Elf installed corresponding monitors and monitoring equipment in the kitchen, living room and even the bathroom. After doing this, he walked out of the living room and returned to the balcony. He closed the curtains and closed the glass door. He jumped directly from the fourth floor and landed lightly. Then he walked from the other direction to the corridor of Chidori Kaname's residence. He chose a suitable place and installed a camera and sound collector again before quickly disappearing into the darkness.
It wasn't until they returned to their base that El-Elf took out his handheld computer and started debugging. After several surveillance images of Chidori Kaname's room appeared on the computer screen, he nodded with satisfaction.
I don't know when Luo and Xiao Ran also moved their heads over. When they saw Chidori Kaname who was completely motionless on one of the pictures, and then saw the picture of the bathroom, Xiao Ran and Luo were surprised and rubbed their heads with a headache.
"El-Elf, there is no need to install such things in private places such as bathrooms, toilets and bedrooms, right?"
And El-Elf just replied lightly, "Is the reason why you feel inappropriate is because of the gap and difference between men and women? In my opinion, men and women are the same. Since we want to best protect the target, we naturally need to pay attention to every move of the target. Only in this way can we get accurate information and analyze it as soon as possible when the target encounters any situation, so as to determine whether our actions are needed to avoid any accidents."
"By the way, Luo, I still need a lot of the things you modified. After I register at the school tomorrow, I will find a way to install them in various places in the school."
