Chapter 174: Chapter 146: A Surprise for the Fox. _2At that moment, three sprites bounced and flitted around Wolf, launching sentence after sentence of barrage onto the public screen.

Beta: The boss is about to snipe!

Gamma: Today is a good day to visit a grave~

Ding: Come on, come on, let’s see who’s faster, he running away or my reaction, WDNMD.

Out of the politeness Jiang Shu had always taught, Little Beta didn’t send out the boss’s name directly but encoded it instead.

”???” Wolf turned his head to look at Jiang Shu, gesturing at the three of them and asking, ”What are they saying?”

”I’m not clear, their lexicon might be in chaos,” Jiang Shu shook his head.

”Will it affect the surveillance mission? They won’t be controlled by enemy hackers, will they?” Wolf asked again.

”That won’t happen, their lexicon is a mess anyway, who knows who they learned it from,” Jiang Shu replied to Wolf with a sincere look.

In the end, Wolf still didn’t give the three of them guns; after all, these guys truly couldn’t be relied upon.

This wasn’t any game; there were team injuries.

Now, there were ten police officers in the conference hall, ten protectees, and Wolf, Kirie, and Jiang Shu—three people.

”Before we go in, let’s search ourselves.” Wolf pulled open the conference room door, ”Put all electronic devices on you in this box, it can block signals.”

”Is there danger even when turned off?” Jiang Shu asked doubtfully, but he still took off his wristwatch and placed it in the box.

”Yes, it’s still uncertain if there are viruses planted in the wristwatches; if there are, they can be easily remotely controlled to power on,” Kirie replied.

”What about prosthetic eyes?”

”Prosthetic eyes rely on wristwatches to operate,” Kirie continued, ”Most people’s prosthetic eyes are just a projection device, used to transfer information from the wristwatch into the prosthetic eye.”

After collecting the wristwatches, Wolf secured the box, ordered all the officers inside and outside the hall to be on guard and standby, and then looked at Jiang Shu and Kirie, ”I just discovered the network has collapsed, there has already been a hacker intrusion, so I have gathered all electronic devices here.”

”Right, all the surveillance is destroyed, now we can only rely on those three tablets as ’eyes’.” Kirie frowned, ”This is way too passive.”

”Indeed,” Jiang Shu nodded in agreement and looked at Wolf.

”But there isn’t much we can do; they already know our location, we’re in the light and they’re in the dark, with so few hands, we can only rely on the current geographical advantage to defend,” Wolf said, smiling wryly, ”Compared to that, we’ve already got nearly thirty people here plus the officers stationed outside, while the Deception Group only has four or five people, compared to Police Chief Charles’s situation... uh, just before communications broke, an oil tanker rammed into the Keyin Company building they defended... our situation here is already way too easy.”

”Indeed,” Jiang Shu again agreed, looking towards Kirie.

”But these people... they can’t be relied upon,” Kirie shook his head, ”The fox’s hypnotic abilities are too terrifying; everyone present could potentially be hypnotized... when that happens, our situation will become much worse.”

”Indeed,” Jiang Shu sighed, and when he looked back at the two, he found that both Kirie and Wolf were staring at him expressionlessly.

”Did you have to come, just to say ’indeed’?” Wolf said to him.

Jiang Shu pondered for two seconds, then looked up: ”So, should I leave?”

”...”

”Come on, you must have some good ideas,” Wolf, seeing his carefree demeanor, sensed he certainly had something to say.

”Good ideas... none; we know too little right now, our details are all exposed,” Jiang Shu shrugged, ”The only consolation is that we’ve collected the wristwatches and other electronic devices, they can’t possibly know our current situation.”

”So you’re saying... we can’t stay here any longer?” Wolf was not dumb, he caught on quickly, ”Are we going to take them with us? Where to?”

”If we leave... probably won’t make it in time,” Jiang Shu shook his head, ”And leaving this place without knowing how many of them are out there is not a good choice, it would actually put us in danger.”

”Then what do you suggest?” Wolf was a bit puzzled; after all this talking, wasn’t that equal to saying nothing?

”Do you have a mirror here? A big enough mirror, or mirror paper?” Jiang Shu looked towards Kirie, ”I remember I had you make something like this before.”

”Yes, I have it in my office.” Kirie recalled, when Jiang Shu asked her to make a vertical light-blocking glass, he also added a bunch of different types of glass and mirrors.

”Good, I’ll go get it now.” Jiang Shu nodded, ”Card... no, give me the key.”

Electronic systems here had completely collapsed, and identification cards were no longer useful; in this situation, the most basic mechanical lock was more reliable.

”Here.” Kirie took out a key, looking at Jiang Shu, ”Be careful, they might have already entered.”

”No problem.” Jiang Shu smiled, then scanned the entire conference hall, ”You still remember the magic trick’s empty box theory I told you about? Let’s first set up here, well, it’s best to break through this wall, try to create a big enough space.”

”I understand.” Kirie followed his gaze, which was directed at a side wall of the conference hall, connected to a next-door room, she nodded, grasping Jiang Shu’s intention.
