She has long been used to all this.

In this time and space where time passes at a speed of 1/81, Wakagi Aya quickly disappeared in the corridor.

"boom--"

A loud gunshot interrupted the female voice still echoing in the corridor, and also opened a big hole in the door just now.

The coffin room in the hotel was startled by the loud noises and lit up in twos and threes, and then quickly turned off as if they noticed something.

The plastic door panel pierced by bullets was kicked open, and an indifferent gray-clothed man with a black gun came out of the room.

He looked around, frowning.

"Psyker?"

In the room behind him, a line of dark red blood was slowly flowing on the ground.

Chapter 8 Safe House and Questioning

Beehive Hotel, behind the corridor on the first floor.

Ruo Mucai was leaning against the unpainted gray wall and panting heavily.

After overloading her psychic energy, the sequelae made her dizzy and difficult to breathe.

Just now, because of the warning in her heart, Ruo Mucai activated her spiritual power in advance before the voice fell.

As expected, before she could finish speaking, people in the room opened fire.

She also saved her life.

Hua Mian looked worriedly at the tired and out of breath Ruo Mucai, and put her arm on her shoulders.

She hasn't finished her task yet, so nothing can happen to her sister.

Hua Mian also heard the gunshot just now, and it is undeniable that her heart suddenly tugged at that moment.

But she didn't think she was worried about the girl next to her, she was just worried about not being able to complete the task.

Brushing the black hair hanging in front of her face to the side of her face, Hua Mian said briefly and quickly after Ruo Mucai's breathing calmed down a bit:

"That cargo is constantly sending out signals, it may have a positioning device."

In fact, Huamian has no way to detect whether the fuse box is sending out signals.

But this is her family's product, so she naturally knows the relevant supporting facilities.

When the drug is sold, the safe box and the positioning system will be handed over to the buyer. The password for unlocking is set by the buyer, and the positioning system will be packaged into a program and sent to the buyer.

She didn't know if the shooter would have a matching positioning system, but just to be prudent, let's assume he did.

Hearing Hua Mian's voice, Ruo Mucai recovered from her fear.

The white-haired girl glanced at her younger sister with bright red eyes, shook her head, and said in a hoarse voice:

"Get out of here first."

Hua Mian nodded knowingly, it's really best to leave here now.

After all, the shooter was nearby, and staying here would only increase the risk.

After walking along the dark path with her sister, she has basically recovered her ability to move.

Now, apart from the restrictions on the use of psychic powers, Ruo Mucai is no different from a normal person.

This is the resilience of psykers.

psionic...

Hua Mian sighed inwardly, then let go of her sister.

Like a pair of ordinary rebellious girls, the two walked back along Mei Street and returned along the original road.

After getting off the floating bus and arriving at Baishu Street, they didn't go to the game city.

There was a big problem with the mission this time. The buyer shot at the delivery man before meeting him. He didn't even inspect the goods. It was hard for Ruo Mucai to wonder if this was a trap aimed at her.

But Hua Mian knew in her heart that the buyer might not be targeting Ruo Mucai, but most likely, he was targeting everyone who handled the item.

Because the value of this thing is too high, for the lower city.

Besides, Hua Mian didn't know where Wei took over the goods, and did the seller tell him what he was sending.

So even now the two sisters can't trust Wei and the Snake Gang very much.

Who knows whether Wei's territory is safe or not.

So Hua Mian and Ruo Mu Cai walked around the dilapidated alleys and walked into an old apartment building nearby.

The access control of the gate on the first floor has long been broken. If Mucai gently pushed it, the lacquered iron gate creaked out of the way.

There was an elevator waiting at the bottom of the elevator shaft, and the sisters got inside, activated the elevator with a hard magnetic strip key without any markings, and then pressed the button for the seventh floor.

The elevator doors closed slowly, and the airtight space was filled with the smell of cheap perfume and tobacco, which made people frown unconsciously. The walls were covered with gray stains, and there were densely packed small advertisements that were difficult to remove.

Ruo Mucai quietly breathed a sigh of relief as she looked at the constantly beating numbers on the right screen.

You can relax for a while, it will take some time for that person to catch up.

As the floor went up, the speed of the elevator also slowed down. When it stopped completely, it shook suddenly, and then the iron door slowly opened.

They walked out of the elevator, walked into a small corridor, and walked a few steps to the left, and they reached the corridor.

This old-fashioned apartment is one of the most popular residences on White Tree Street. It is similar to a beehive, but the apartment area is much larger than the beehive. Of course, the rent has also increased.

Since their incomes have improved, the sisters have rented two weekly apartments here as safe houses, one on the seventh floor and the other on the eighth.

The apartments here are laid out in a square arrangement, with a hollow in the middle that provides a direct view to the ground floor.

And the window of their room on the eighth floor opened directly to the downstairs. Standing by the window, they could have a clear view of the movement outside the other room.

Hua Mian and her sister walked along the corridor to the opposite side.

The key I used before was inserted into the card slot on a certain door. After a few seconds, the latch inside was slowly opened, and Hua Mian pushed the door open first and walked in.

She didn't turn on the light, and waited for her sister to enter the door before closing the door behind her and activating the latch.

The space here is not large, even a little cramped for two people.

There was only a small plastic table at Huamian's knee height and a dark green mat in the room.

Hua Mian took off the satchel on Ruo Mucai, put it on the table and unchained it for a look.

The black safe was lying quietly inside, like a sleeping beauty, waiting for the princess to kiss her awake.

She took a deep breath, then looked away, closed the zipper again, and sat aside silently.

The distant neon light enters the room, providing some light for the unlit cabin.

Under the darkness, the faces of the two sisters looked dim.

Ruo Mucai sat at the table, skillfully calling out the address book from the field of vision.

After swiping for a while, he found Wei's number and dialed it.

Ruo Mucai glanced at Hua Mian, hesitated for a moment, and forwarded the call to her simultaneously.

It is better to know the dangers you are about to face than to know nothing at all.

The inorganic electric bell rang twice, and was then connected by the opposite party.

A middle-aged man with serious expression and slightly wrinkled eyebrows appeared in their window.

With his head down, his hands kept clicking on the holographic screen on the table.

Except for a few gray hairs, Wei seems to be no different from five years ago.

Ruo Mucai didn't speak first, but silently stared at the man on the screen, as if trying to see something from his face.

On the other end of the phone, Wei casually asked 'what's the matter', but he didn't get a response for a long time.

Then he realized something was wrong.

Wei took his attention away from the gang affairs, then raised his head, squinting at the white-haired girl in the video.

"what happened?"

He asked again seriously, and stopped what he was doing.

Ruo Mucai took a deep breath, looked at Wei's profile picture on the screen, and asked with some dissatisfaction:

"There was a problem with the goods, and the consignee shot me directly."

Her response was a little cold, with no trace of extra emotion on her pretty face.

Hua Mian heard her sister's bad mood, moved towards her on the mat, and hugged the girl's body from the side.

Feeling the warmth from her back, Ruo Mucai froze for a moment, then returned to normal.

On the other end of the video, Wei could hear the dissatisfaction of the delivery man, and Wei's expression became more serious.

If the matter is really what the white-haired girl opposite said, it is indeed a big problem. After all, he was the one who sent out the mission, and he is also responsible for the accident.

"Let me help you ask the owner."

His tone softened a little, he said soothingly.

Wei reached out and tapped twice on the terminal, called out the phone number left by the client, and simultaneously forwarded the call audio to Ruo Mucai to show his innocence.

The electric bell rang twice, and then, a red pop-up window lit up from the retinas of the three at the same time.

【Signal Offline】

……

Chapter 9 Safe: My password is

【Signal Offline】

Looking at these four big characters, no one spoke in the communication.

A few seconds later, Wei Cai broke the silence.

"It seems that the owner of the cargo is dead."

"I'll call you all of the deposit later, and I'll add a loss of work fee as compensation for you in this matter."

In Yuncheng, offline communication is generally no different from death.

Only when the prosthesis cannot detect the biosignal will it be displayed as offline. If it is just a rejection, it will generally prompt rejection or timeout.

And Yuncheng's communication program is usually installed in the prosthetic eye...

In addition to the previous shooting, no one among the three present would think that the cargo owner was still alive.

Ruo Mucai clenched her fist slightly, and continued to ask:

"What about that stuff?"

"It's almost certain that the final payment will not be received." Wei pursed his lips into a line, and after a pause, he replied calmly, "As for the goods, you can keep them for yourself, and no one will accept them."

Hearing this, Ruo Mucai's expression didn't change, but Hua Mian's heart felt a little turbulent.

Do you keep it for yourself...

It seemed that Wei didn't know the value of this thing, otherwise he wouldn't have let go so easily.

Then is there any chance for her to use this potion to awaken psionic energy?After all, she knew the back door that could open the cryptex.

After getting the item, she deliberately entered the wrong password to self-destruct, and no one knew that the medicine had been used by her.

While thinking, Hua Mian secretly made up her mind.

Most people wouldn't think of such a thing as a back door, let alone in a backward downtown area.

Then she glanced at the white-haired girl beside her again.

Probably...they won't be implicated.

"That's it, I'll hang up first."

In the communication, Wei saw that Ruomucai hadn't responded for a long time, so he was about to hang up the phone.

"and many more."
