Infiltration

(Sun Yao)

"Phew, it's still a bit chilly up high at night, and the wind is quite strong."

"Little Eagle, can't you turn off that cool glowing braid of yours? It's still blinking, are you a firefly in mating season?"

"Little Eagle" was a nickname Falcon received from his aunt.

No, it shouldn't be called a nickname; it's just a direct translation of Falcon.

"This is already the darkest it can get! You guys should hurry up and climb in!"

The Bubble Membrane lightened our weight, allowing Falcon to carry these three burdens to the 72nd floor of the branch building, where he found an exhaust duct on the exterior wall and pushed us inside... But, was there really that much space in the exhaust duct?

Although it's quite wide, it's only tall enough to crawl on your stomach.

My aunt, wearing dress pants, led the way, followed closely by me, then Miluno, and finally Falcon.

The magical girl infiltration team, consisting of four members, seems a bit too large, and they're all talking at once.

Aunt Lin Xi turned her head.

"Quiet down, all of you. We're not here for a branch outing. There are security patrols tonight, and a lot of people are probably working overtime to cover what happened during the day. Infiltrating isn't as easy as you think."

She didn't seem to move her mouth? Was it telepathy? Was that also her magic?

I asked, "Will Dad still be in his office at this hour?"

"I asked the people at the Association, and your father rarely stays in the office. After all, he's the head of external affairs, and he's always busy with social engagements, not to mention he also has to secretly plan his own schemes... That's it, Miss Miluno, I'll leave the rest to you."

We climbed up to a ventilation vent.

Miluno, but then quickly opened the louvers of the vent and darted out. After a gust of wind, she stood below us and gave us an OK sign.

Using the spy gadgets given to her by her aunt, she "dealt with" all the security cameras in front of her father's office.

To be honest, this really gives you a sense of infiltration!

"Your dad is known for being a loner. There are no other offices on this street in front of his office, so there's no need to worry too much."

As Aunt Lin Xi spoke, she jumped down into the ventilation duct, then pulled out some new spy gadgets from her pocket...

"Wait, isn't this just wire?"

Only after I jumped down did I see what was in her hand.

"Try picking the lock, or do you have a key to your dad's office?"

"... I'm not against picking locks, but doesn't Auntie have a master key or something?"

"There's no need for that. The doors to this kind of office don't have much security. The really difficult locks don't require a master key; those are unlocked using iris scans, fingerprints, or similar methods... It's open."

In just over ten seconds, the aunt had already pried open the office door lock.

Falcon whispered, "So fast, just like Arsène Lupin!"

"I've picked locks all over the world, this is nothing!"

As a prosecutor, my aunt wasn't exactly a stickler for rules, just like her personality...

"Alright, Miluno, let's go inside and take a look."

Miss Miluno didn't talk much, but she followed her aunt's instructions, opening the door a crack and slipping inside. Then, just like before, she opened the door for us a short while later.

Auntie asked, "Are you sure there aren't any hidden cameras?**"

"I've checked it; it's just a very ordinary office."

Despite what Miluno said, her aunt still took out her phone and used the camera to look for the hidden infrared camera.

After confirming that there was nothing there, I put away my phone and shrugged.

"Okay, it seems there really isn't."

Miluno, rubbing her forehead. "Prosecutor, since we're going to team up, can't you at least trust me a little?"

"Okay, I need to check the 'Memory Record' now, please wait a moment..."

The aunt nodded perfunctorily, then took out her sunglasses.

She seemed to dislike having people see her eyes glowing red.

"... By the way, try not to touch anything in the room; our principle is to leave nothing behind."

"We know!"

Thump, click--

The little figurine on Dad's desk was knocked over by Falcon's sidearm, fell onto the wooden floor, and broke off its head.

"Oh dear! Miss Falcon, what have you done?"

"... Hehe?"

"This is no longer something you can get Past just acting cute!"

The ornaments on the table were damaged; it was impossible for them not to be noticed.

Auntie was still checking the records in the office, her brow furrowing deeper and deeper. It probably wasn't because of the doll, but because something had happened here...

"Old Bai? What's going on?"

Auntie suddenly pressed the walkie-talkie that was in her ear.

"Now?"

"What's wrong?" Miluno asked.

"... Secretary Anjie has actually returned; she's most likely coming to her office."

Oh no, this is bad!

"Should we leave now?"

Despite the unfavorable situation, Auntie shook her head, a kind smile appearing on her lips.

"Leave? Of course not, isn't this the perfect opportunity? A perfect secret room; the location of the secret research institute can be found in her thoughts."

"... What do you see here?"

She looked at me seriously and said, "SpiCa's analysis is basically consistent. Your father... Chairman Sun Ji is indeed related to this incident. Ceruno, you may not be able to accept this, but I will find evidence to send him to jail... I hope you can understand."

"My father actually..."

For my mother to be able to do this.

"We'll talk about these things later. We need to figure out a way to confuse Anjie."

My father's office was large, but square and without any privacy, so it couldn't hide four people. Therefore, Falcon, whose braid was very conspicuous, took my aunt out the window and hung on the outside wall. Only Miluno and I stayed in the office, waiting for an opportunity to use the speed boost to knock out Secretary Anjie so that my aunt could come in and check the "longing" in her head.

We were hiding behind the sofa used for receiving guests, but Miluno was too tall to lie flat, so she had to bend over and lie on the floor, which made it impossible for her to observe the situation.

I heard the clatter of heels on the floor at the door. Peeking through the gap under the sofa, I could see red high heels entering.

The office lights were turned on.

"... Gurgle."

I'm a little nervous.

Without her transformation, Miss Anjie poses no threat to us, but as this is her first time attacking humans in her magical girl form, she is still a little uneasy.

"Um?"

Noticing the doll turning its head on the table, the pair of red high heels walked towards her father's desk. As they passed the sofa, Miss Miluno suddenly darted away.

"Ugh." (Muffled groan)

Before I could prepare myself, Miss Anjie collapsed limply onto the sofa. I peeked out from behind the sofa; she clearly had lost consciousness...

"Are you still alive?"

Miluno coldly replied, "I struck him with the back of a hand blade."

"I don't think the concept of 'back of the blade' exists in a hand chop, right?"

As expected of Miss Miluno, her actions were swift and decisive, showing no hesitation even when her target was a human.

"To prevent her from putting up any resistance, let's remove her Star Crystal first..."

Miluno reached out to touch Miss Anjie's clothes, but before she could make contact, whip-like, blood-red threads wrapped around her wrist.

He's still awake. Was he just pretending to be knocked unconscious?

"What audacity! To dare to do this just because of suspicion..."

Miss Anjie was stunned when she opened her eyes.

"... Who are you?"

Of course she wouldn't recognize us.

Because Miluno and I looked like the shadowy figures from Detective Conan at that moment.
