Chapter 497 Thrilling and Exciting, Feint to the East and Attack in the West

Holder and the others, who were constantly monitoring Liang He and the others through the sounds transmitted back via their earpieces, couldn't help but tense up when they heard the piercing ringtone.

They only breathed a sigh of relief after Liang He tapped the headset twice to indicate that it was safe.

"It scared me to death. I thought..."

Reina gently patted her wildly beating heart; tonight's events were indeed a bit too exciting.

"But what exactly was that ringtone just now?"

Making a sudden noise in the middle of the night, aren't you afraid of scaring others...?

"It must be the timed reporting system that Elitaire set up for the guards."

Holder had heard some things about Ellitale from Elius.

Based on his behavior and some guesses made by Liang He and the others before they set off, it is estimated that he was remotely controlling the guards to confirm whether the spirit deer was well protected.

"Speechless. Doesn't that scoundrel sleep at night?"

Reina rolled her eyes, scoffing at Elitaire's mischievous and suspicious nature.

"Um, is it possible that we didn't sleep either?"

Although he knew that Reina was targeting Elitaire, Holder couldn't help but connect it to themselves.

Hmm... it seems like Elitaire isn't the only one who stays up late at night and does "bad things".

"How can that be the same? We did this to save people and thwart Elitaire's plot!"

Reina spoke with righteous indignation, and Holder dared not refute her, so he could only nod repeatedly in agreement.

Meanwhile, the guard, awakened by the ringing bell, saw that his comrade was not in any danger and went back to sleep, preparing to hand over the shift at the next report.

"Alright, I'm already at the window giving them the signal."

The two guards ran to the window the moment the bell rang to signal that everything was normal.

When they stood back on the edge of the cage where the spirit deer were imprisoned, boredom and drowsiness gradually attacked their nerves, and their eyelids began to droop uncontrollably.

Taking this opportunity, Liang He continued to teach Linglu how to pick locks. Soon, Linglu unlocked the lock, which had neither a key nor a combination.

[Spirit Deer, send the little gray mouse to the corner and make some squeaking noises to attract the guards' attention.]

Liang He originally planned to have Elius distract the other guard, but considering that the little black snake's image was known to too many people, she decided to avoid leaving any potential problems just in case.

Upon receiving the instruction through the headset, the deer immediately waved to the little gray mouse.

"Squeak! Squeak!"

The little gray mouse was very clever. When it saw Liang He point to a corner, it immediately ran there and made a slight noise, successfully attracting the guard's attention.

"How come there are rats in this shabby place?"

"...Brother, it would be strange if there weren't rats in this lousy place, would it?"

The two guards initially didn't want to get involved, but the sound seemed to be coming from where they kept their supplies. To avoid going hungry later, they sent one of them to check.

Now, only one of the two guards remains, but the time is still not right.

The remaining guard, though his back was to the spirit deer, was standing directly at the cage door. If the spirit deer opened the cage, it would definitely be noticed.

"It looks like we'll have to make the little gray mouse work even harder."

Fortunately, Liang He and Little Gray Mouse had communicated their hand signals before the operation began. When it was inconvenient for her to speak directly, Little Gray Mouse could follow her hand signals to carry out the plan.

The little gray mouse, having successfully received the hand signal, gleamed with a sharp light in its eyes and quickly began to play tricks on the guard that was trying to catch it.

"Wow! This little mouse runs pretty fast!"

"Mice are very clever, just chase it away, don't waste time!" The guard standing by the cage shook his head speechlessly as he watched his companion struggling with a mouse, and offered a word of advice.

To everyone's surprise, the panicked little gray mouse ran straight towards him and bit his trouser leg, which infuriated him.

"Damn! These are my brand new pants!"

The guard, seeing the hole the rat had chewed in his new trousers, became so enraged that he lost his temper and immediately started catching the rat with his companion.

Seeing that they had been successfully lured into a corner by the rats, Linglu quickly took off the lock and, after leaving the cage, did not forget to put the lock back on as Lianghe had taught her.

Anyway, Elius and the little gray mouse don't need to go through the cage door to get in.

What are you all doing, making such a racket?

Perhaps the commotion of catching the mouse was too great, because even the guards on the sixth floor were attracted and unusually showed up to inquire about the situation.

"There's a mouse stealing our food, we..."

The secret guards held a higher status than the regular guards, and when questioned like this, the guards' explanations immediately became half as weak.

"It's just a mouse, how dare you abandon your posts? Go check on the spirit deer right now!"

Sensing something was wrong, the guards quickly walked to the cage. At this moment, the two guards who were sleeping were also awakened and quickly stood up.

Hearing the commotion on their side, Holder and Reina's hearts tightened again, fearing that their plan would fail and be discovered.

"I only heard the sound of the spirit deer leaving its cage. Could it be that Elius hasn't turned the little gray mouse into a spirit deer yet?"

If the guards were to see that the cage was empty, they would immediately report it to Elitaire!

"The little gray mouse was attracting the guard's attention the whole time, so it's hard to say for sure."

Holder felt they were being too hasty and should have used more gray mice to assist them.

"What should we do? Should we go and meet them?"

Anxious and worried, Reina was afraid that Liang He and the others would be discovered, and wished she could fly up immediately to save them.

Fortunately, Holder had great confidence in Liang He and pulled Reina back in time, telling her to wait and see.

Look, this spirit deer is kept well in its cage and is behaving itself.

When the guard's voice came through the earpiece, Reina's eyes widened instantly, unable to understand what was going on.

Compared to their confusion and concern, it was the hackers who guessed the answer.

"It seems that Elius has temporarily replaced the Spirit Deer. We just need to have the little gray mouse switch with him later."

Elius could transform the little gray mouse into the appearance of a spirit deer, so he could naturally take its place.

"That's right! It has to be Xiao Hei, so clever!"

As a fan of Liang He, Reina naturally knew a lot about Xiao Hei's existence. Even though she knew he was Elius, she couldn't help but get excited and blurt it out.

"The nickname 'Little Black' now belongs exclusively to Liang He. Don't say that in front of Elius."

Holder kindly reminded Reina of something.

Reina not only wasn't angry, but nodded repeatedly in agreement.

"That's right, that's right, Xiao Hei belongs exclusively to Ahe!"

Holder probably didn't expect that Reina was not only a fan of Liang He, but also one of the CP fans who loved shipping couples.

However, she doesn't just ship one couple; she's a fan of all of them.

In Reina's heart, Liang He, being a strong, independent woman, is of course someone she wants to have all of!
You have excellent taste, so I won't hold it against you over the issue of how you address me.
