We moved to Golden Courtyard

Both of them are single, so there were actually many opportunities for them to retaliate during this process.

No matter what, Xu Qi and Mei were not professionals, and their knowledge of how to disarm and capture prisoners still needed improvement, but Kafka and the other two did not intend to take action again.

And just like that, Mei tied him up easily.

Xu Qi certainly noticed this.

"So you're planning to treat me like a prisoner of war?"

"Yes, after all, they didn't really resist much, did they?"

“I can also tell you that the initial order I received was to hold you back. At the time, I was a little confused as to why it was called ‘holding you back’… Now I understand.”

Xu Qi frowned. These two guys...are they really terrorists? Why are they so easy to talk to?

What's the next step?

Despite Mei's calm demeanor, she was only able to suppress her inner panic because Xu Qi was there.

Are you kidding me... This... This is a terrorist!

"Hey kid, that's enough for now."

The sudden sound startled all four people present. A flat flying object suddenly appeared in the room, and the voice coming from it was none other than Mebius!

Kafka's expression changed drastically!

"You're not dead!?"

"Ha! Yeah... of course I'm not dead, I should thank you guys, you anti-entropy bastards..."

They know each other.

This is obvious.

"Xu Qi, you take Mei to the Jiuting base to support Ai Li and the others. I'll handle things with them here."

"it is good!"

With complete trust in Mebius, Xu Qi threw away his dual pistols, took Mei's hand, and left the scene.

He didn't even bother dealing with fingerprints or anything like that; with Möbius around, the other party would only consider things more thoroughly than he did.

Once the roar of car engines outside resumed, Mebius slowly said, "It's been a long time, Kafka, Ciora."

The raven turned its head away, seemingly not very interested in talking to Möbius.

As for Kafka... having overcome her initial shock, she has now calmed down again.

"I was wondering why that kid's physical abilities were so extraordinary. With you here, everything makes sense."

"Heh... No need to flatter me, you should think about yourself first."

A smiley face emoticon appeared on the aircraft's display screen—(￣︶￣)

“Mebius, you’re still the same as ever… but I must give you a piece of advice—if you want to stop Char, you can’t be too hasty.”

At the central control console of the Golden Courtyard, Möbius frowned.

What does this woman mean?

“Xia is a terrifying man. I don’t even know whether Anti-Entropy used him or he used Anti-Entropy… Even if I didn’t tell you, I would have told Xu Qi these things.”

"What? You can't exactly tell me you had a change of heart, can you?"

"Feel free to say whatever you want, but that's all I have to say."

28. Mei? Who?

Gretchen suddenly walked into the central room of the Golden Courtyard.

Upon noticing this, Mebius couldn't help but raise an eyebrow—after all, little Gretchen wasn't exactly keen on playing with her strange aunt.

"What's wrong, Greta?"

Even so, Möbius still quite liked Gretchen. Who wouldn't? This little girl with the sweet, soft voice.

"Aunt Mebius, Mom Aponia said that the sisters in the brother's crowdfunding group 456127940 are saving many lives right now—is that true?"

Gretchen moved closer to Möbius, but what she said was not very pleasant to hear.

What does "Aunt Möbius" mean? Does that mean everyone else is just an older brother or sister?

Möbius sighed. Oh well, that's how it is.

"Yes, little Greta. They are all working hard to prevent a disaster."

“Then!” Little Gresh looked up and mustered her courage to say, “Gresh will try her best too! Even though I can’t go out with my older brothers and sisters, Gresh wants to be able to help everyone!”

Children's simple words often strike the heart most powerfully.

Möbius looked at Gretchen with affection, almost moved to tears—humph! She's much better than that disobedient little Xu boy.

But speaking of which...

Möbius raised an eyebrow, as if remembering something, and took Gretsch's hand, saying, "Speaking of which, there is indeed something I need Gretsch's help with."

"Ok?"

“Come on, Gretchen, take your paintbrush, let’s go paint.”

"Drawing? Where do you draw?"

"Remember, Gretchen, on the exoskeleton armor that your brother Xu Qi will most likely use, you must carry the spirit and will of the other party to complete your drawing~"

Gretchen touched her lips, then nodded emphatically and said, "Yes! Gretchen understands!"

·······

"To be honest, although I brought you in, I don't believe the nonsense Xu Qi is spouting." Inside the Jiuting base, Xin'an walked in front, while Alicia and the others followed behind him.

Even Xu Qi didn't expect that Xin An would agree to help him. If helping him find information before was just to repay a debt of gratitude... Xu Qi really couldn't have come up with a reason this time.

But the result was good; with Xin'an there, the journey remained unimpeded.

Although it's unlikely that anyone would notice such a group of people in the middle of the night, the only ones who might need to be careful are the security guards.

This is why Xu Qi had Ying accompany him.

If that doesn't work, knock them out!

"No matter what, Xia Ya is his master. To say that his master is going to carry out a terrorist attack? He really has a wild idea." Xin An walked ahead, muttering curses.

Meanwhile, Alicia, who was following behind, thought to herself, "But you still brought us in, didn't you?"

Of course, Alicia only dared to think these things in her heart. She knew that girls, after all, cared about their image. Only that idiot Xu Qi wouldn't care about these things.

"Speaking of which, where's Xu Qi? Why didn't he come along?"

In an instant, Pado, Fu Hua, and Sakura, who were following behind, all pricked up their ears!

They seem to have caught a whiff of... gossip!

"He and Mei went to find Char."

Xin'an wasn't surprised that Xia Ya was going to find him, but...

"Mei? Who?"

Even Mei doesn't know about this?! This is the first time Alicia has ever seen a woman who is interested in Xu Qi but doesn't know that Mei exists.

"Um... Xu Qi's girlfriend."

Actually, no, but Alicia subconsciously insisted.

Of course, what she didn't know was—it already is.

"Ha! This guy can have a girlfriend?" Xin'an looked disdainful. That idiot whose mind is filled with nothing but work, he and a girlfriend are completely incompatible.

"We're here. The Great Warehouse is just ahead. Do you think... Char might build a train that never stops?"

Getting down to business, we can't let these two women keep testing each other. Sakura immediately stepped forward and said seriously, "Although it sounds unbelievable, it's probably true."

Xin'an frowned.

She hesitated for a moment, then finally sighed.

I lost to Xu Qi...

Xin'an glanced at the time.

"The current time is 3:46, and the earliest inspection vehicle to leave the warehouse will be on duty at 4:30. Normally, we would ask the construction site to let you get on the vehicle for inspection..."

Xin'an glanced at the four somewhat bewildered women in front of him and clicked his tongue in amazement—how come they're all so beautiful?

"Time is limited, this is the departure schedule."

As he spoke, Xin'an took out the departure schedule he had prepared earlier and handed it to Alicia and the others.

"Check each vehicle from top to bottom, one by one. Xu Qi said you have the means to check, so I'll take his word for it. We need to be quick! I'll go talk to the station dispatcher."

Remember! Don't let the driver, and especially don't let the night shift inspectors find out! If you are caught and questioned, just say…

Xin'an originally planned to have them pretend to be suppliers, but the problem is—you guys are all so beautiful! Nobody would believe you're suppliers!

"Forget it! If we get caught, just say my name or Xu Qi's name! Here, his name might be more effective than the manager's."

······

Meanwhile, at the Jinqiao Depot on Line 9.

When Kevin and his group arrived, they received the same treatment as at the Jiuting base, except that a man was now in charge of receiving them.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Yao Yuchen, and my position is... I'm the team leader for tonight's daily inspection."

Kevin and the others looked at each other, clearly not understanding how important the position of the daily inspection team leader really was.

"Anyway, we still have the right to let you get on the vehicle for inspection."

This group was different from Ellie's group. Apart from Kosmo, they were basically all veteran office workers. Kevin immediately realized that there was something hidden in their words.

"It puts a lot of pressure on you, doesn't it?"

Yao Yuchen, who was walking in front, paused for a moment, but then chuckled.

"Indeed, if we get caught, I'll lose my job as team leader. Oh, and here you go, take this, the dispatch sheet. Check it from top to bottom, we don't have much time left."

Kevin accepted it solemnly, feeling a mix of emotions.

Even so... I still chose to help them, no, should I say help Xu Qi?

"Don't overthink it. That guy and I were roommates in college. How can I, as his father, ignore my son's troubles?"

That really reflects the way young people communicate these days...

"Although I still don't quite believe that Supervisor Xia would do such a thing... it doesn't matter! Since Xu Qi thinks so, he must have his reasons!"

Yao Yuchen spoke with great conviction.

"It's been like this since college; that guy always makes the right judgment... You guys are his very good friends, right? Don't let him down..."

“Of course,” Kevin said, his voice filled with the same unwavering determination.

"Like Xu Qi, I will never let that kind of horrific thing happen again."

With the inscription of "Salvation"!

29. Alicia, you're stealing from your own workplace, aren't you?

On Line 9, Xin'an watched with great curiosity as Alicia took out a cylindrical tracked robot from her backpack.

"what is this?"

"This is Klein. With her around, she can find out any problems with this car."

What kind of cutting-edge technology is this... just with such a small car? Although Xin'an has also heard that the bases for new subway lines in Shanghai are starting to introduce these automated maintenance robots.

But regardless of accuracy or...

Before Xin'an could even process the thought, he suddenly felt a green light sweep over him.

Subsequently, the green robot named Klein accurately located the electrical cabinet in the carriage, and many mechanical arms extended from the robot's interior.

They transformed into the shape of a wire, and then...
