Chapter 219 The moles

A five-star hotel in Xinqiao, Minato District.

A supercar with arrogant style stopped at the gate, and the only driver in the car got out of the car.

This man had a strange appearance: he was wearing an expensive custom-made suit, but his entire head was covered in a strange hood.

——Curly hair, beard, sculptural facial features... No, this hard hood, whose color and texture are similar to plaster, is basically a plaster head of an ancient Greek philosopher in a classical style.And in order to fit on the real head, the size of the head sculpt is slightly larger than the proportion of the real person.

In short, the current image of this strange visitor looks like a modern man whose head has been replaced by an ancient Greek sculpture. The huge classical-style head is slightly uncoordinated.

The waiter at the door was not surprised by this and stepped forward to greet him.

Without waiting for the waiter to speak, the man had already picked up the exquisite invitation letter in his hand with two fingers, raised it, and then arrogantly patted the invitation letter directly into the waiter's arms.

"Is this President Sanobayashi of Rhinoceros Club?" After the waiter quickly confirmed the authenticity of the invitation, he looked professionally and sincerely into the eyes of the statue's head and bowed slightly, "The reception venue hosted by Mr. Noda is on the second floor. Banquet hall, please come this way.”

The man continued to remain silent, put his hands in the pockets of his trousers, and followed the waiter into the sensor door and walked into the hotel.

Behind him, another waiter got into his red sports car and drove it to the underground parking garage for him.

This so-called "President Sano" is naturally what Hui Yuanchu pretended to be.

The cocktail party he is going to attend is hosted by Snake, whose social identity is "Former Member of Parliament Noda Tobizo who is about to run for re-election". It is a private invitation-only party. It is nominally mainly for entertaining some of his supporters, and will also Give a candidacy speech during the reception.

So in order to get in, Arthur selected a "lucky guy" from among the many invitees at the reception - "Sano Lin", a young president with a flamboyant personality who made his fortune from the Internet.

Three hours ago, Arthur and Haihara raided President Sano's mansion, took control of the president, and found his invitation letter.

When he saw Noda's requirement that participants "must wear masks" on the invitation, Haiyuan blurted out in surprise: "...masquerade party? Why? Why do you want to have a masquerade party?"

"In addition to women, Noda Toshizo's main supporters are some new forces in the Internet field. Therefore, his platform is also related to the two. On the former issue, the point he raised is to emphasize the 'downplaying of society' Gender differentiation of functions, and the pursuit of achieving a genderless society. As for the latter, his program is to 'focus on promoting the electronicization and anonymization of currency, and continue to improve the security and privacy protection of the Internet.'" Arthur said patiently He read the entire invitation, then thought about it again, and pointed somewhere, "——So, you see, he wrote: The theme of 'masquerade party' is to correspond to these two points of the campaign platform," Point to topic'."

"but……"

"Yes, I understand how you feel. In fact, although it makes sense, it is too deliberate. It is almost as if it was specially prepared for a brainless guy like you to sneak in smoothly."

"exactly!"

"So, this is what I think about this issue -" Arthur thought again and said, "This is another 'whisper' of the snake.

"Since Snake was taken away from Dongju by Zhe Lukui, Huo Thallium Hero hasn't heard Snake's whispers anymore? So, he must have been restricted and unable to deliver messages at will.

"But this strange arrangement is the snake tempting us in another way.

"As for why the commander of the group allowed this to happen... I can only say that the other party also wants us to go. In other words, the other party is a person with strong self-confidence. He is not worried at all that we will break through the defense. He killed the snake, but he was even more afraid that we would retreat in the face of difficulties. For this reason, he even gave up part of his advantage to us."

……

In short, Hui Yuanchu temporarily borrowed the head of a classical sculpture from President Sano's home, took President Sano's invitation, drove his sports car, and took his identity to the five-star hotel hosting the reception.

At this time, he silently followed the waiter and walked through the hotel lobby, using the Soul Cicada to lick the surroundings to obtain information.

Not only the waiter at the door, but also other service staff in the hotel had no reaction to his appearance.

Several guests who were checking in looked at them in surprise, but after the waiters on the side explained it to them softly, they all showed a look of enlightenment and even smiled in greeting.

Huiyuan thought to himself that after all, this was a "masquerade party"

Soon, the waiter led him into the second floor, and then stopped in front of the banquet hall with the sign "Noda Toizo Reception", bowed to it, and helped open the heavy door.

Hui Yuanchu naturally stepped into it without hesitation.

——In the huge banquet hall, almost all of the men and women holding wine glasses and talking back and forth were wearing strange masks or hoods.

Hui Yuanchu stretched out the cicada's tentacles to detect their emotions.

Men and women, all a little excited, optimistic and clueless.

If the fire thallium hero were here, he would definitely not feel anything strange, nor would he feel anything strange about this scene, nor would he suspect that Noda was using his supporters as bait.Hui Yuanchu inserted Cicada's tentacles under everyone's masks, touched their faces, and quickly recognized the identities of several people.

As Arthur had guessed, the invitees this time were basically business owners and community activists, but... not a single politician or bureaucrat.

The invitation list for this reception cunningly used the names of "some supporters", "mainly from the business community", etc. to avoid Noda's supporters who really have the right to speak behind the scenes.

The purpose of most of the invitees now is to serve as a backdrop, making this trap real and safe.

Then, Hui Yuanchu carefully extended the tentacles farther away, and then farther away.

Finally he concluded that there was no gunman in the hall.

Not just here, but actually along the way, Hui Yuanchu did not find any hidden group operators in the hotel.

...BINGO.Arthur, you are right again.Hui Yuanchu thought.

Arthur indeed speculated on this situation.

He said: "I can also speculate that although this is a trap, there will not be too many group operators at the scene. They don't want Huo Thallium to discover the abnormality in advance, and they also don't want other real The guests noticed something strange.”

"The group will try their best to enhance the authenticity of this trap... because they don't think the Fire Thallium Hero has identified this trap."

After a pause, he emphasized: "The key is - remove the mythical creature 'Sleeping Girl', the group will only think that the fire thallium hero is still fighting alone, but does not know our existence.

"The group doesn't know that I have completely fallen to Huo Thallium, nor does it know that the sleeping girl is you, Huiyuan."

“So, we now have essentially two layers of information advantage stacked on top of each other.”

"So, assuming that the Fire Thallium Hero did not get help from you and me. Then from the perspective of the Fire Thallium Hero who was fighting alone, what was the reason for what happened in Donggu before?
"Although the group has contacted him, he will not have any channels to learn the details of the group. The Fire Thallium Hero will not know the details of the group, nor will he know the hostile relationship between the group and the apostles... nor will Know the apostleship of the serpent.

"So, from the perspective of such a hero, what would he think when he sees the news that 'Noda Toshizo held a reception'?
"After being connected with the Dongju incident, the limited information will lead him to a conclusion that is contrary to the facts.
"——This mysterious organization called the Group is the companion of Snake.

“The syndicate freed Snake from prison.

“The group was behind the scenes again and forced the prosecutor’s office to withdraw the case against Snake.

"So, with the help of the group... Snake returned to his dissolute life again, showing off his power.

"...The above is the basis for the group's tactical planners to formulate the current trap plan, and the speculated way of thinking of the Fire Thallium Hero."

"Then the trap became what you see - a ridiculous and staged costume party."

However, Arthur emphasized at the end: "But even if you don't find any weapons at the scene, you still have to be careful about the group."

"After all, the other party knew in advance that the fighting force here was a powerful person and a mythical creature. And in this kind of venue, and with the hostages in mind, heavy weapons would not be easily used... Therefore, the group simply gave up on deploying conventional weapons on the site. "There is no reason to be armed, just to be here, not because the group wants to surrender."

"You should think so - no guns? Then they must have prepared something else."

While Hui Yuanchu recalled Arthur's instructions, he tried his best to sweep his tentacles across the entire hall, trying to detect as much information as possible and find the "killer".

But suddenly, his tentacles suddenly twitched and twitched, and then fled back like flying.

Hui Yuan's heart suddenly jumped.

...Because he found a lonely girl sitting in a corner of the banquet hall.

The girl was also wearing an evening dress and a mask, but the biggest difference from the other guests was that she was holding a suspicious sphere in her arms.

Under her mask, which had no patterns or bumps and was just a smooth panel, her expression was slightly gloomy, with dark circles under her eyes... but her eyes seemed sharper than before.

In this banquet hall, there is only one person from the group.

That's her, Oroku Aoi.
