Volume 1: Raging Waves City Chapter 144: First Cooperation
Sandpaper raised his head and looked at the elf in front of him. She stood in the moonlight, as if she was the only focus of the world, and the surrounding scenery lost its color because of her.
Recalling the thrilling confrontation just now, Sandpaper still maintained a great deal of vigilance due to long-term habit: “I don’t know you well… If you are here to help me, I would like to express my gratitude.
If you want to do anything to me, please go back."
Luke realized that he had shown too much kindness to Sandpaper, which would only have the opposite effect on this girl who had experienced so much.
She spread her hands and said, "I have no ill intentions. I just accepted the commission from Detective Meteorite to arrest someone . You should be my assistant. What's your name?"
Sandpaper knew the ability of the spirit Clear Sky, and with her help, Hanni could be rescued to a great extent. So Sandpaper released the combat mode and fell back to the ground.
"My name is Ai... My name is Sandpaper, and I'm an intern agent at the Cape District Secret Service. Hello, Miss Clear Sky, and thank you for coming."
"Tell me the details of the commission."
"Yes, Miss Clear Sky."
Since noon today, the Cape District Secret Intelligence Bureau has been keeping track of Yomington's whereabouts.
He first went to the Palace of Sissay to visit Viscount Iscolan, where he met some officials from the City of Fury, and finally arrived at the home of Councillor Noyes Randolph.
And stayed there.
Randolph is one of the three establishment councillors. The Virgil incident dealt a heavy blow to the establishment in Raging Waves City. The Cape District Secret Intelligence Bureau was obsessed with smuggling and arrested many people in the Government Affairs Office, making the city officials feel insecure.
The arrival of the Prime Minister's aide, Yomington, can be said to have placed a ballast stone in the hearts of the establishment in Nutao City.
Congressman Randolph took the initiative to invite John Minton to live in his home.
"Ms. Clear Sky, the person we are going to rescue this time is called Hannie." Sandpaper remembered the inspector's instructions to him and corrected him, saying, "Her name is now Red Falcon, and she is the adopted daughter of Yomington. We suspect that she was abducted and her memory was inhumanely erased and modified.
If we rescue Red Falcon, we can investigate Yomington on this case."
Luke was quite satisfied with Sandpaper's performance on his first solo mission. At least he didn't reveal everything in front of Qingkong when they first met.
"Do you know what a kestrel looks like?"
Sandpaper replied, "I know... We have spies monitoring nearby. You can go to Senator Randolph's residence and ask them for details."
"Let's go." Luke jumped off the roof.
Sandpaper jumped down next, and then saw the elf Clear Sky summon a red steam locomotive.
"Wow! So beautiful!" Sandpaper exclaimed sincerely. With her professional eyes, she could see the exquisite and ingenious designs that ordinary people could not see: "Is this... made by Mr. Michel himself?"
Luke started the engine and said to the sandpaper that was circling the Glory of the Republic, "It should be... get in the car quickly, finish the work early, and rest early."
"Yes, yes, Miss Clear Sky."
Sandpaper jumped into the back seat.
The red steam locomotive roared and carried the two people away along the night road.
On a rooftop across the street from Randolph's residence, two secret agents from the Cape District Secret Service faithfully carried out the inspector's orders.
They didn't even notice that Clear Sky and Sandpaper were behind them.
Sandpaper patted their shoulders and revealed his identity when they were startled and ready to draw their swords: "It's me... Sandpaper."
Both agents knew Sandpaper and knew that although she was a trainee agent, she was also a master of mechanical modification. So they greeted her with honorifics: "Miss Sandpaper, why are you here? Does the inspector have any new orders?"
"We are here to carry out the mission assigned by the inspector. This is Miss Qingkong, you should know her."
The two spies then discovered that there was another person next to them.
Although they had never seen Qingkong, the name Qingkong made them respect him.
"Ms. Qingkong, it's a great honor to see you here!"
Both of them are officially employed imperial spies who have received formal training, and their behavior is very different from those of the recruited temporary workers.
Luke nodded as a greeting, then said, "Let's catch the red kestrel. Is she in there?"
Sandpaper added: "She's a girl about my height, with red hair... should be easy to spot."
"Yes!" one of the spies answered, "We saw the girl following Yomington, and they went into the house opposite together. But we don't know which room she was in."
Luke looked across the road at the house.
A single four-story building with spacious courtyards in front, behind, and on both sides. There are trained bodyguards and some alchemical magic warning devices inside.
It is difficult to sneak in without alerting the guards.
But for players who like to steal, how to sneak into a heavily guarded mansion as quickly as possible has always been a popular competitive event.
"You guys stay here, Sandpaper, come with me."
Luke took the sandpaper and went around to the back of the house, passing through the blind spot of the alchemical alarm device and entering the courtyard . A bush about 30 meters away from the main building was just enough for the two of them to hide in.
Luke watched the video on his phone again on how to sneak into the congressman's house, and then said to Sandpaper, "See that statue?"
"I see it." Following Luke's direction, Sandpaper saw the statue of a knight standing with a sword.
"When you see me coming out of the building, smash it as quickly as you can. Then place these mysterious props correctly according to the positions of the formation." Luke took out a cardboard box and handed it to Sandpaper, and also gave her a formation diagram.
Sandpaper said with some repulsion: "Is this the language of the secret technique?"
"I know the secret technique has caused you a lot of pain, but if you want to rescue Red Falcon, you must do as I say." Luke said to Sandpaper very seriously: "If I bring Red Falcon out and don't see this secret technique activated, this commission will be terminated immediately!"
After saying that, Luke disappeared from in front of the sandpaper and reached the corner of the main building after a short-distance space transfer.
The timing was perfect and no one was alarmed.
She took out a coil of silk thread from her space backpack, fixed one end of the thread to the ground in the corner with a nail, and then deftly pulled the thread upstairs along the wall.
The silk thread is fixed with nails at regular intervals.
Just like that, avoiding the bodyguards and the alchemical magic warning devices in the courtyard, Luke pulled the silk thread up and down, laying out a secret code based on the entire main building.
After she finished the secret message, she entered the building through a window.
The soft wall lamps illuminated the corridor, and the soft carpet was very comfortable to walk on. There was also a fat maid holding a basket of sundries, looking at the elf who suddenly came in from the outside in horror.
