Psychics don't die from gunfire

Chapter 111 Prologue
At first glance, this tall building seems to have only one color: white.

The light strip embedded in the ceiling casts a steady white light, making the day and night here reversed. The light blue corridors with plastic floors twist and turn, extending into the depths, reminiscent of the huge blood system that supports the human body.

Only when you occasionally turn a corner, the huge sign hanging on the wall - a pattern of jade particles as olive leaves interwoven into a ring and a broken white porcelain hand standing upright and running through it - adds a little other color to this place.

From time to time, one or two micro drones can be seen flying in the air.

The air was filled with the smell of disinfectant.

Some people find it pungent, while others enjoy it.

Looking around, almost all the people in loose uniforms walking through the aisles, carrying documents or data tablets, were in a hurry. Occasionally, if they met familiar colleagues, they would just chat briefly or nod slightly before passing by.

"Area A of Building 4 will undergo routine maintenance the day after tomorrow afternoon. All personnel in this area should pay attention and don't forget to transfer the experimental projects in hand in advance."

"Is there a problem with the central elevator in Building 2? Okay, I got it. Report it to the logistics department. It should be fixed by tomorrow."

"The experimental subject just died suddenly within half an hour? The cause of death was a large-scale genetic collapse? Damn it! The theoretical model we built has already worked, why is it not working? You wait, I'll be right over!"

There were also people who walked quickly while plugging in headphones, frowning, and giving instructions or discussing matters.

"The Linda factory that makes the Palosser special 'Easy Patch' has made an urgent application. Their defective rate is significantly higher than the expected standard value. They hope that we can send personnel to provide guidance and investigation. Okay."

"Yes, yes, I know my father is going to die soon! But didn't I try my best to arrange for high-quality medical care? It's not my fault that he died. What... You asked me to come and see him for the last time? Oh, shit - I have to go to work now! Can't you just record a short video?"

"Alright, alright, stop talking. I'm going to enter the office area and access the intranet. The external network will be automatically blocked - beep."

Glancing at the man who quickly walked past him and cut off the communication with a look of annoyance, Song Shi loosened his bite on the straw, crushed the breakfast coffee cup in his hand, and threw it into the trash can next to him.

This is the trash can for daily classification. Experimental consumables are not allowed to be thrown in, so most of the things inside are disposable paper waste, as well as bottles and cans of special coffee, stimulants, and special energy drinks - these are must-haves if you want to adapt to the high-intensity work of the "First Institute".

In other words, these are essential items for anyone who wants to work in a company. Some companies even provide benefits such as releasing refreshing chemical gases through ventilation windows every day, and company employees only need to pay a low service fee to enjoy it.

There is no need to pay a lot of extra money to buy these supplements to maintain work efficiency. Or even because of limited budget but can't lose the job, forced to choose cheap, unreliable three-no products - if you die suddenly at your workstation one day after using these things, the company does not need to be responsible.

Of course, even if everything follows formal procedures, the company will find excuses to avoid responsibility.

“Going to work makes me happy. I love going to work.”

Song Shi hummed a tune and started walking forward again.

——At this moment, he is already inside the "First Research Institute".

The first part of the plan for his and Harold's infiltration operation was not complicated. The two of them would split into two groups and enter the First Research Institute, each slowly moving towards the atrium of the institute, looking for an opportunity to enter the underground mainframe layer.

As for how to sneak in and disguise.
At present, the identities of the two people are "Xu Yi" and "Ansel Adlai".

These are two identities carefully selected by Flash Star and other members of the Enlightened Hacker Group after a massive amount of information integration and analysis.

The former is an elite researcher at the First Institute, while the latter is an indoor armed security guard.

Under the cover of FlashStar's remote network, Quemu and Harold sneaked into the residence of the two men a day in advance, restricted their movements, and directly obtained various information through interrogation and truth serum - Harold actually had some complaints about the use of "truth serum", but Alnan persuaded him.

Long before this, Song Shi and Harold had already completed the preliminary work, such as replicating and disguising the appearance of the two men, replacing and implanting the authority chips, browsing relevant intelligence, etc.

At this moment, they have transformed into "Xu Yi" and "Ansel Adlai" and entered one after another.

Perhaps compared with all the security measures of the "First Institute", this is still not perfect, but at least it is completely sufficient for activities in the current outer area.

"Underground mainframe layer" Song Shi looked around calmly, verifying it with the floor plan of the research institute in his memory, sketching a more detailed outline in his mind, while thinking in his heart.

As a "three-phase base plan" with extremely high confidentiality, it was extremely difficult for Shanxing to determine that the host of the entire plan was located in the First Research Institute, and it could even be said that he had some luck.

But going further, the underground structure of the First Research Institute and the specific location of the mainframe are difficult for Shan Xing and the members of the hacker group to explore - this can only be done by Song Shi and Harold themselves.

However, based on the information obtained from interrogating "Xu Yi", at least one thing can be confirmed, that is, the atrium of the research institute can lead to the underground mainframe floor.

【.Nandou】

At this moment, Shan Xing's voice rang out from Xu Yi's usual headphones.

[I can only keep communicating here, the rest is the intranet area]

[Arnan is about to start the action, I have to go to help him. By the way, he has mobilized two-thirds of the Illuminators in Palose who are willing to participate in "Operation Moth", and they have arrived twelve miles away from the institute one after another - they will wait for your signal, or force an attack in an hour and a half.]

【In summary】

【I wish you a smooth journey】

Then, the communication fell into complete silence.

"——As expected, it's more exciting to do it alone."

Song Shi stretched his body slightly and thought with joy in his heart.

From the moment he stepped into the First Research Institute, he had a vague feeling as if his blood was boiling. It was hard to tell whether this was due to his personal emotions or caused by the "boiling blood" ritual.

I haven't been active for so long, I feel like seeing blood a little bit.

Maybe today, I can
".May?"

A voice suddenly interrupted.

A young woman in the same uniform walked out from the corner. She was about to make way, but after seeing the face of the person in front of her, her expression suddenly changed.

"You're a little late today."

The woman took a step back and looked at the "middle-aged man" in front of her - of course, she understood that her colleague was not actually that old, he just looked old, and had no plans for medical cosmetic surgery for the time being.

The next moment, she put away her slightly dissatisfied tone and nodded:

"This month's group meeting is about to start. Since we've met, it's a good opportunity for us to go together."

"……Um."

Song Shi paused.

"I was delayed by something on the way... Sorry."

A smile slowly appeared on his face.

"Terriel, let's go now."
