One of the Backup Plans, and a Hint from the Man in Black-Rimmed Glasses

If we compare time to a person, then regardless of whether it has thin arms and legs or long arms and thick legs, one thing is undeniable—it must be an athlete, or at least run incredibly fast.

In the blink of an eye, three more days had passed.

For the past three days, Uraraka Shige has arrived at the office building early every day, and then left without delay when it was time to leave.

During this time, he also tried to take advantage of his job of serving tea and water to observe the environment inside the office building as much as possible. However, to his regret, the places he could observe were limited to some rooms on the first and third floors, as well as the entire fourth floor and two open corridors.

After all, the rooms on the first and third floors, as well as the entire fifth floor, were places that the man with the black-rimmed glasses had explicitly forbidden him from entering. Even if he wanted to make an excuse to pretend that he was not familiar with the work environment and had accidentally gone to the wrong place, he couldn't.

On the second floor, although there wasn't a single room that prohibited him from entering, it seemed to be affected by some kind of 'Quirk,' constantly shrouded in pitch darkness, making it impossible for him to observe the environment there.

In addition, there is one more point worth mentioning.

Three days Uraraka Shige was in that soon-to-be-abandoned orphanage, after learning about the grudges and entanglements between the Zōti Doctor and the criminal gang in this office building, he had a bold idea, but in the end, he did not put it into action.

He did not reveal the location of Doctor Zōti.

Because he had no idea how the criminal gang gathered in that office building would react if he did this, or what they might do to him... such as interrogating him about how he knew, questioning his motives for joining the building, or investigating his true identity...

Furthermore, when Doctor. Zōti mentioned that he had "been to that office building and received the brochure" but did not mention that those guys had asked him to memorize the rules, he said, "They're still the same inflexible people; the initiation ceremony still requires memorizing the rules first."

This led Uraraka Shige to feel that this Zōti Doctor seemed to have many hidden secrets.

Normally, it's highly likely Zōti the Doctor saw the booklet in his hand and was reminded of the days when he worked in this criminal gang.

There is also a strong possibility Zōti the Doctor was testing Uraraka Shige based on some information he knew.

But Uraraka Shige always felt that this Zōti Doctor with a hooked nose and a gloomy face probably had his own 'spy' planted in this office building.

At least it's not impossible.

After all, the Zōti Doctor, all alone, managed to remain at large, operating not far from the office building, despite being wanted by a criminal gang operating under the umbrella of 'AFO'.

Without anyone providing him with intelligence, it's hard to imagine how someone with the 'Quirk' of Zōti Doctor could still live quite well near the forces that wanted him while being wanted.

So let's just consider this a little trick left behind by Uraraka Shige...

In short, he did not directly reveal what he knew about the Zōti Doctor; instead, he hid it very well and recorded it in other places in a rather special way.

This can be used as a backup plan in case we need to deal with the Zōti Doctor in the future.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~"

Uraraka Shige poured the man with black-rimmed glasses a cup of coffee he had requested and then placed it on his desk.

"Your work for today is finished. Remember to come early tomorrow."

The man with the black-rimmed glasses picked up his glass expressionlessly, took a small sip of the dark brown liquid inside, then frowned slightly, put the glass down, and turned to Uraraka Shige with the same expressionless expression, giving him this instruction.

Uraraka Shige nodded without raising any questions or offering any opinions, simply agreeing obediently.

"Yes, sir."

However, in reality, Uraraka Shige had already noticed that the man with black-rimmed glasses today disagreed with some of the points made a few days ago.

For the past three days, Uraraka Shige Machinery's work has consistently ended around this time.

It was always after he poured the last cup of coffee for the man with the black-rimmed glasses that the man told him, "Your work for the day is finished."

However, that's all there is to it.

In the past three days, the man with the black-rimmed glasses never said anything like "Be good tonight before you leave," "Come early tomorrow," or "Come to my room when no one is around."

Therefore, the reminder he gave Uraraka Shige after informing him that "work is finished" and "come early tomorrow" naturally caught Uraraka Shige's attention and made him think.

Uraraka Shige didn't have any luggage or briefcases to carry, so after naturally taking care of the coffee pot, he walked straight out of the office building.

After he had walked about ten meters away from the office building, he suddenly frowned slightly, and a look of inquiry and contemplation appeared in his eyes.

"Come earlier tomorrow..."

He began to slightly torment his pretense and instead focused his energy on thinking. He started analyzing, searching for the information that the sentence might carry.

"Generally speaking, asking someone to arrive at work earlier the next day is either because that person usually arrives late, or because there's something they need to do before work without disrupting their work schedule..."

"However, this office building is not an ordinary workplace; it's actually the hideout of a criminal gang... even though what I'm doing here now is some very ordinary work like serving tea and water..."

"In that case, it can be said that although I'm officially part of this group, I'm not actually on the same side as the members of this criminal organization yet..."

Uraraka Shige walked along, lost in thought, her steps unchanged, seemingly unaffected by anything.

"When I joined this office building, my reason was to gain a better 'Quirk,' which means I knew something about this office building... at least I knew that this office building was not an ordinary office building, but rather that it hid some secret that could allow me to obtain a better 'Quirk.'"

"In that case, the purpose of having me arrive at work a little earlier the next day is something worth considering..."
