Dragon Raja: Dragon Slaying Begins with System Hosting

Page 58

So, at Genji Heavy Industries, Lu Mingfei explored the upper floors under the system's management, while in the sewers, Chu Zihang led Sakurai Akira to explore the underground parts of Genji Heavy Industries.

Last night, the system roughly explored the regular areas of Genji Heavy Industries. Its plan for tonight is not to post the floors of the work areas, but floors thirteen and above.

The first to fifteenth floors of Genji Heavy Industries were marked with signs indicating which area was where and which department was responsible for which work. However, there were no signs above the 15th floor, which was clearly not intended for ordinary workers.

The fourteenth floor is the server room floor, with rooms of various sizes housing different server machines.

There were hardly any people on this floor. The system quietly used its Samadhi Fire to unlock some doors, and then all that came into view were servers with flashing lights.

It's a pity that the room didn't have a sign indicating which department the server worked for; otherwise, the system expert would have used a USB drive to try and become a physical hacker.

There were some problems with the fifteenth floor. The system used the Netherworld Illumination feature to explore the area and discovered that this floor was actually only half a floor.

After exiting the elevator and fire safety staircase, you can only access half of the fifteenth floor area; the other half is blocked by a wall.

[...It doesn't make sense?...]

The passenger elevator and the freight elevator are on opposite sides, so you might need to take the freight elevator on the other side to get to the other half of the floor...

There are no fire escape stairs near the freight elevator, so you can only sneak in when someone is going up to the 15th floor...

The other half of the floor clearly contains something, perhaps hiding the secrets of the Snake Clan, but unfortunately it's too difficult to infiltrate.

Being invisible doesn't mean you can do whatever you want. At least when the elevator starts without anyone in it, the cameras inside can see it clearly... If there are any secrets on the other half of the 15th floor, the Snake Clan will definitely send people to monitor it closely.

Between the 15th and 16th floors, the Snake-Headed Eight Family built a large gate and locked it with a padlock.

The lock was brand new, as if it had just been installed. There was no dust on it, and there was even some fresh lubricant on it.

However, these iron gates and metal locks are useless to the system; once the Samadhi Fire is activated, the lock opens by itself.

The rooms on the 16th floor have departmental plaques.

Wind Department, Fire Department...

Rock Flow Research Institute...

Upon seeing these department names, the system and Lu Mingfei understood that the floors below the 15th floor of Genji Heavy Industries were where ordinary people worked, while the floors above the 15th floor were where hybrids worked.

“We’ve come to the right place, System,” Lu Mingfei said. They had already found their way to the workplace of the Snake-Headed Eight Family hybrids, clearly having reached their central area.

[...If this is where the Snake-Headed Eight Families' hybrids work, then most of the people working here are likely hybrids themselves, so we need to be even more careful...]

The system is only cautious.

Wandering around below, relying on the light of the underworld, one can even pass by ordinary people.

Some extremely subtle movements would go unnoticed by ordinary people. As long as it doesn't cause any disturbance, the completely transparent Mingzhao is enough to act with impunity.

However, it's different in areas where mixed-race people are concentrated. Their senses are incredibly strong. For example, Chu Zihang's nearsightedness doesn't prevent him from becoming a close-combat expert. He relies on his other senses and intuition, and his performance is no worse than that of people with good eyesight.

The system gradually lowered its breathing and quietly searched the floors.

Whenever someone is about to pass by, the system will block their breathing, for fear that the airflow from their breathing might cause even the slightest abnormality that the hybrids might sense.

Some of the rooms for the wind, fire, and other combat departments were open. If the system saw that no one was inside, it would go in and take a quick look at the files on their desktops.

But I didn't touch it because there were many security cameras here.

However, most of the work in these departments consists of patrols and guard duties, and there are no important documents laid out on the table.

After flipping through three floors, when we reached the twentieth floor, it was no longer a place where small departments divided up the floors. The twentieth floor had only one plaque: "Execution Bureau".

According to the documents Su Enxi found, the Enforcement Bureau is an important department within the Japanese branch of Kassel College, handling the Dragon Blood incident together with the Sheqi Eight Families' law enforcement department.

However, law enforcement agencies are mostly responsible for dealing with issues within families, such as patrolling, monitoring, and executing dangerous mixed-race individuals.

The Execution Bureau under the Kassel College branch is responsible for dealing with escaped ghosts and the Fierce Ghost Clan.

Back when the Japanese branch of Kassel College was very powerful, Tachibana Masamune rose through the ranks from within the Executive Bureau.

However, there weren't many people on this floor, probably because of their work; many executive bureau personnel didn't stay at Genji Heavy Industries for long.

"Young Master, arrangements have been made at Senso-ji Temple. When Miss Erii departs the day after tomorrow, Senso-ji Temple will be closed for maintenance for half a day and ordinary tourists will not be allowed to enter."

The sound came from a room. The title "Young Master" and the words "Miss Erii" successfully made the system stop in its tracks and stand outside the door to eavesdrop on the information inside.

The system continued its analysis: "...Young Master? The young master of the Snake-Headed Eight Families?..."

Erii? Based on what they said about Senso-ji Temple closing for half a day for maintenance, it must refer to Uesugi Erii, the head of the Uesugi family. Only someone of her stature deserves such treatment…

Erii is going to Senso-ji Temple the day after tomorrow? Is there any possibility of something going on? ...

The system immediately began analyzing the possibility of kidnapping...

"Can we only close Senso-ji Temple for half a day?" Another voice responded to the previous one; it was clearly the young master.

The person who had spoken earlier replied to his question, "Half a day is already the limit. The schedule is too rushed. If it were a week earlier, Senso-ji Temple could be closed for a day for Ms. Erii to visit."

Without tourists, the atmosphere at Senso-ji Temple might not be as good, and some of the sightseeing experience could be lost.

Tourists are also part of the tourist attractions. The quiet and deserted Senso-ji Temple is more suitable for taking special photos, such as wedding photos, and it has enough atmosphere... Lu Mingfei thought to himself.

After a long silence, the young master's voice rang out again: "Let's leave it at that for now."

"Okay young master."

The conversation inside ended, but no one came out. The system carefully passed by the open doorway of the room and glanced inside.

There were three people: two men and one woman. One of the men was... Yuan Zhisheng, the head of the Yuan family!

The system showed no intention of stopping to examine the room closely, and stepped across the doorway in just two steps.

However, just as the system took a step forward, before it had completely passed the doorway, Genji suddenly looked up at the door.

For a moment, he seemed to feel a gaze on him from the doorway, but there was no sound of anyone passing by. Looking around, he indeed saw no one passing by.

That gaze made Lu Mingfei's body seem to be paused; he dared not move, dared not breathe, dared not take the second step that he had already raised his leg for.

Indeed, there was no one there... Genji slowly withdrew his gaze, feeling that perhaps because he had been somewhat troubled these past two days, he had experienced some physical problems, leading to some illusions.

After Erii was taken back to the intensive care unit that day, she stopped crying and wrote to Genji on a sticky note she carried with her: "I saw it."

I saw it?

He had taken Erii out before, though not often, but they had indeed gone out together.

This wasn't the first time she'd passed that intersection; clearly, what she saw wasn't the scenery, but freedom.

She almost escaped supervision and the ward, and was able to go out and play freely.

The thought of Erii's tearful face only made Genji feel more annoyed and his head throb even more...

I really want to drag those two petty thieves who sneaked into the shrine out and chop them up, just to distract them...

……

The system carefully passed by the door of the room where Genji was located, and then went straight to the fire safety staircase without surveillance cameras.

Lu Mingfei was still somewhat shaken. When Yuan Zhisheng's gaze swept over, although he couldn't see Lu Mingfei's body in the Netherworld state, from Lu Mingfei's perspective, the two were staring at each other.

Yuan Zhisheng's gaze precisely locked onto Lu Mingfei's location, and Lu Mingfei could feel his heart pounding in his chest at that moment.

"System, do you think that Genjiro has noticed us?"

[...most likely they've sensed something...]

Because the other party's gaze was locked on so precisely and quickly, the system analysis indicated that the other party had likely noticed the way he was looking at him.

The other party only looked away after confirming that there was indeed nothing in front of them; it was probably just a fleeting intuition...

"This is outrageous!" Lu Mingfei felt it was absolutely absurd.

After circling around the 16th floor of Genji Heavy Industries several times, it wasn't that no one had passed by. They were most likely hybrids, but they never noticed anything unusual when they passed by.

Except for this Genjiro, who seems to have cheated, the door to his room is four or five meters away from where he is sitting, and it is still locked!

The man and woman remaining in the room made no sound as the system passed by the door...

[…Yuan Zhisheng, Young Master…]

Eriyi, Sensoji Temple...]

The system was analyzing Genjiro's identity, and also considering whether it could make a quick buck by learning that Erii was going to Senso-ji Temple the day after tomorrow.

But Erii is such a big person... and given her special circumstances, it seems like she wouldn't be easy to kidnap.

If we could make contact beforehand, and if she were truly imprisoned and genuinely wanted her freedom, things would be much easier to handle...

Chapter 97 Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi

Based on previous speculation, it is highly likely that Uesugi Erii, this young lady, possesses a world-destroying level Word of Power from the White King series. It remains to be seen whether the precepts can suppress it.

Otherwise, if Erii resists during the kidnapping and unleashes a world-destroying incantation in her own face, things could get really messy...

Therefore, even if the system possesses crucial intelligence, it must still consider the matter carefully.

I still have some energy left; I can probably go on to touch another layer.

After resting for a while, the system was almost fully recovered and got up to continue its journey to the 21st floor.

However, the appearance of the 21st floor was somewhat surprising; the incredibly clean and tidy corridor seemed to be filled with the smell of disinfectant.

The doctor, holding a folder, glanced down at the hurried passersby.

After the system stepped aside to make way for the doctor, it looked at the doctor's back and felt that this floor must have something it wanted.

When Uesugi Erii ran downstairs earlier, she was followed by several doctors and nurses.

This might be the medical research center of the Snake Clan, or it might be the floor where Erii is being monitored...

The system carefully explored its way through the system.

The medical equipment room was dripping with alarms; a doctor on night shift was chatting quietly with a nurse…

This floor was incredibly quiet, and there were very few people; you could hardly see anyone other than those wearing white doctor and nurse uniforms.

The floor was quite large and spacious, but the system still required people to stop and eavesdrop on the doctors' and nurses' casual conversations.

"Actually, I can also perform breast augmentation surgery..." the doctor boasted to the flat-chested nurse about his skills...

The system silently downloaded the next one.

Many of the professional instruments in the rooms are labeled with English or other foreign language text. Due to the special nature of English as a reconstructed language, the system is not entirely clear about their functions. However, by using some of the instruments, the system can roughly analyze why they were prepared.

"Miss Erii will undergo blood purification tomorrow..."
