Reincarnation NPC, but Arknights

However, she didn't need to do that, since the Laterans were most skilled with firearms.

"Overtime pay, split it evenly, you're just sitting around doing nothing anyway."

Texas jumped out of the driver's seat and casually took a weapon from the car and hung it beside her.

"Let's go." The girl's voice was a little cold, but Exusiai, who was beside her, was obviously used to her companion's personality. She kept talking as they walked, not afraid of the awkwardness of having no one to talk to.

The two entered the safe house.

“Someone has indeed been here.” Exusiai glanced at the area and smiled. “How interesting. Let’s see what our guests have been up to.”

Is's voice came through the girls' earpieces: "I have sent the supplies list to the terminal. You can check it against the list."

"It must have been really tough for you to have a list in such a messy place." Exusiai put her hands behind her back and looked at the chaotic storage shelves.

"I can't manage your miscellaneous things..." Is sighed. Speaking of overtime, he was the one who never had an end to overtime. He had to do everything except fight.

Just then, Texas spoke up: "Two loaves of bread, a bottle of water, and a can of meat..."

"Is he here for a picnic?" Exusiai plopped down in front of the workbench and wiped the table with her hand. "Goodness, he's actually eating right away."

“Weapons, clothes, masks…” After checking the lockers, Texas ran to the coffee table and looked at the open Pocky sticks on the table.

"And a box of cookies."

"They really came for a picnic." Exusiai was speechless. "Why did they take a box with them, and even opened one without eating it? It'll spoil if it gets damp."

"It's the password."

Texas sat on the sofa, looking at the long and short cookies arranged in a row.

"Hmm? Could it be Kong? I remember only you guys know how to use this. Didn't she just tell you about this cipher a while ago?" Exusiai spun around in her chair, bored.

Texas shook her head. She herself had many questions, such as why the intruder knew the password so well, when it seemed that only a few people knew it.

"So what message did that person leave behind?" Exusiai asked curiously.

“The terminal,” Texas said, standing up. “There’s only one terminal in the room.”

-------------------------------------

Bai Ye naturally wasn't worried about being exposed; he only needed to complete his objective and then leave.

Now he's rushing toward the central database.

Ultimately, she was too weak and powerless. If it were a behemoth like Nian, there would be no need for such trouble; she could even directly access the data in the database.

"drop--"

Without any further verification, Bai Ye successfully entered the Lungmen Central Database.

The upright server racks, resembling bookshelves, reach all the way to the ceiling. This place can indeed be seen as an alternative library, where most information can be found.

Bai Ye was initially worried that there might be other people around, but fortunately there was nothing else here except for the computer case.

Modifying the data didn't take much time; just follow the steps in the guide, and Bai Ye quickly completed his plan.

The next important step is figuring out how to get out.

In fact, it wouldn't have been this complicated originally, but unfortunately, Bai Ye was caught in the bathroom and had no choice but to use an electric shock to knock him unconscious.

'I wonder if anyone has found out yet...'

Bai Ye packed her things, lifted her mask, and popped a piece of chocolate into her mouth.

His stamina isn't limitless either; the previous actions had taken a toll, and he needed high-calorie food to replenish it. Chocolate was a good choice.

Perhaps this is why Texas people like Pocky?

However, some players in the past claimed that Texas was actually smoking, but had replaced the cigarette with Pocky.

……

Upon returning to the building, Bai Ye immediately sensed something was wrong.

The entire building was placed under lockdown, brightly lit, and alarms blared continuously.

"As expected, we were exposed."

After a moment's thought, Bai Ye did not leave immediately, but instead dodged left and right, crashing into an office.

"Luckily, I had armor and wasn't taken away."

The standard armor of the Guard Bureau is completely enclosed; once the helmet is on, no one can recognize you.

After a while, a "Guardsman" walked out of the Guardsman building with an air of nonchalance.

"and many more."

Just then, a delicate shout rang out behind him.

Chapter Seven: Escape

Chen Huijie found the unconscious police officer in the restroom. (Ugh...)

Since she took office, there had never been such a bizarre incident of assaulting a police officer. But she didn't find it funny at all; the young woman remained silent, her face expressionless, like the calm before a storm.

The police officers who saw her remained silent, especially when the unlucky guy who had been knocked unconscious woke up and opened his eyes to see Chen Huijie with a fierce face, he was almost scared unconscious again.

"Why are you all staring at me! Locking down the building, checking surveillance footage, searching for criminals—what did you learn at the police academy?!"

Chen Huijie looked at her dull-witted subordinate and couldn't help but scold him.

After all, it was too late, and the number of police officers who remained on duty was limited. Most of them were clerical staff, and there were also many newcomers with little experience. This was probably the first time they had encountered something like this.

After being reprimanded by Officer Chen, the officers finally came to their senses. The veteran officers led the new recruits in organizing the search and investigation in an orderly manner.

In this situation, Bai Ye, dressed in standard armor, prepared to sneak out.

However, at the gate, he was stopped by Chen Huijie.

"stop!"

The girl's sharp cry was not drowned out by the alarm, and at the same time, Bai Ye could feel a pair of eyes staring intently at his back.

"Sir, I just saw a shadow climb over there."

Bai Ye feigned anxiety and pointed to the gate of the Royal Guard Bureau.

In his previous life, he had dealt with the police officers of the Guard Bureau many times and even worked on missions together, so he felt that he had acted quite well.

"Have you forgotten everything I said? Don't act alone in situations! I tell you every time, and you never remember!" Chen Huijie frowned as she looked at the police officer in front of her, then casually picked up a baton from the side. "Come on, I'll go with you to chase after them."

Beneath his closed helmet, Bai Ye frowned. Chen Huijie's actions were making him feel somewhat troubled. For now, he could only play along and run towards the door.

Chen Huijie followed behind him.

"Just the two of us?" Bai Ye asked without turning his head.

"Heh, that's enough." The girl sneered.

At the same time, Bai Ye sensed something was wrong and suddenly turned around, simultaneously drawing his straight sword with his right hand and swinging it backward.

"clang--"

The sword strike blocked Chen Huijie's baton.

"call--"

Bai Ye exhaled, his right hand numb. Chen Huijie's strength was terrifying; he could barely block the attack.

Using the momentum to retreat, Bai Ye sheathed his sword and began to run wildly.

He didn't have much time left; he could already hear the shouts of the police behind him, and soon police cars and motorcycles would be chasing him.

There's also Chen Huijie, who's even faster.

After their first exchange, Bai Ye knew that he was no match for the girl, even though she wasn't carrying a sword and was just holding a police baton.

However, Bai Ye didn't panic; he only felt excited.

He recalled that when he was level 30 and on a mission, he encountered three demons on the outskirts of a mobile city in Colombia, and was chased and beaten up in the same way.

That's where I lost my first blood in my past life.

The situation isn't that bad yet; at least he won't die, he'll just be caught and suffer a bit.

Moreover, his face was never shown. Lungmen's armor was also quite thick, which could give the illusion that he was a large and imposing figure.

The only flaw he gave himself away was his voice, but he deliberately used a falsetto.

Stimulated by the crisis, his thoughts raced, and he finally found the answer.

When in doubt, delve deeper.

This is advice from a veteran player.

Not only can it evade pursuit by cars and motorcycles, but it can also use the dark environment and maze-like terrain to hide and counterattack.

Yes, most of the mobile cities on Terra have extremely complex underground structures, which is inevitable.

The height of a tree determines the depth of its roots.

To support a city, the underlying industrial structure must be strong enough.

Many players have used this trick to escape capture in the past.

Having made up his mind, Bai Ye began his escape. He had previously searched the Penguin Logistics safe house terminal for entrances to the relevant lower-level structures around the Guard Bureau. Most were closed, but he was lucky; one of the entrances was currently under repair.

"stop!"

Chen Huijie clearly understood what this guy in the Guard Bureau uniform and armor was up to. To be honest, it had been quite a long time since she had encountered such a daring criminal.

How could Bai Ye possibly stop? He ran all the way to the entrance, chopped through the temporary railing with his sword, kicked open the cover, and jumped straight down.

Suddenly, he entered a pitch-black underground world.

As he ran, he began to remove his armor. Although the armor offered good protection, it was too heavy, and Bai Ye would not be able to keep up if he continued to run in it.

However, Bai Ye did not throw the armor on the ground, but instead put it into his inventory.

"Hopefully, it will work."

Bai Ye heard a sound behind him, and he knew that Chen Huijie had also jumped down. After a while, there were several more muffled thuds. He knew that these were the police officers who had arrived later.

Bai Ye activated the night vision function of his mask, and his vision instantly turned into a lush green expanse.

This time, he had the upper hand.

The officers who were chasing them obviously didn't have time to use lighting equipment and had to proceed in the dark through the passageway.

The passage was narrow, and the sounds constantly reflected and echoed within the space, eventually mingling into a chaotic mess. This was also advantageous to Bai Ye, as the noise could mask his own footsteps.

After turning several corners, Bai Ye used the momentum of running to push off the wall and jump onto the thick pipe on the ceiling above her head. She lay half-lying down and began to calm her breathing and heartbeat.

The sudden stop after strenuous exercise made him feel like his lungs were about to explode, but he couldn't breathe loudly, which was really torturous.

Below, the footsteps faded into the distance, clearly indicating that a group of police officers had rushed over.

Once again, I must thank the ninja movement techniques of the Eastern Kingdom. I must also thank my own body, for I was able to perform these movements with such ease and disappear right before everyone's eyes.

Adjusting her breathing, Bai Ye silently slid down the pipe to the ground, then ran wildly in the opposite direction.

As soon as he left, a second group of police officers came down, this time carrying lighting equipment and crossbows, while the officers on the ground blocked the entrance.

Unfortunately, they missed out on Bai Ye.

When Chen Huijie led her men to rendezvous with the rear, Bai Ye had already disappeared without a trace, vanishing into the dark underground sewers.

……

"boom--"

Chen Huijie punched the wall.

She, the dignified head of the Lungmen Guard Bureau's Special Inspection Team, had been tricked. The Lungmen Guard Bureau's standard armor made her misjudge the situation.

The armor was too heavy. Based on the force of the baton that Bai Ye had taken, Chen Huijie concluded that he did not have enough explosive power to jump.

Even if you jumped, it would be impossible to do it so silently.

If Bai Ye were dressed lightly, she would definitely consider the issue of the pipes.

The only thing Chen Huijie couldn't understand was how Bai Ye took off his armor and where he hid it in the end.
