Chapter 201: Eavesdropping
(You control every muscle in your body to the limit.)
(You land silently like a cat behind the fish tank, steady and soundless.)
(You hide in the Supervisor's blind spot, slowly moving bit by bit to ensure he can't see you.)
(You eavesdrop on the Supervisor's footsteps while recalling your previous deduction experience.)
(In three seconds, Da Luoshan will arrive at the door to exchange pleasantries with the Supervisor.)
(At that time, bodyguards will follow behind Da Luoshan, looking around, and at least two of them facing the door will definitely see you hiding behind the fish tank.)
(You observe your surroundings again, looking for the next cover.)
(For ease of movement, you take off the helmet on your head and hide it in the black orb's space, then silently counting to three, run to hide under the reception desk.)
(You hear Da Luoshan and the Supervisor casually chatting, both are talking, so they don't notice the slight noise you make.)
(Da Luoshan: The presidential election is about to start, I need to strategize in advance. This isn't the place for discussions, let's talk in your office.)
(Supervisor: Yes, boss.)
(Da Luoshan: You guys don't need to come in, just watch the door, don't let anyone in.)
(Bodyguards: Yes, boss.)
(You stealthily peek out and see the bodyguards have turned their backs, looking outside.)
(You tiptoe behind Da Luoshan and the Supervisor.)
(The Supervisor takes out his keys to open the office door, you quickly hide behind Da Luoshan, using his body as cover.)
(Supervisor: I think I heard something?)
(Da Luoshan: What sound?)
(Supervisor: Footsteps.)
(Da Luoshan turns around.)
(You move according to Da Luoshan's turning angle, always hiding in the blind spot of Da Luoshan and the Supervisor, and while their attention is diverted, you quickly hide behind the office door.)
(Da Luoshan: There's no one here?)
(Supervisor: Maybe a rat?)
(The two did not discover you and walked straight into the room.)
(You quickly take the helmet from the black orb's space and put it on your head, taking a deep breath. The foul smell at this moment is surprisingly sweet.)
(You lean against the door, eavesdropping on their conversation.)
(The room smells of cigarettes, with a faint scent of oranges.)
(Da Luoshan: Set up a gathering for me tomorrow night, find some girls to accompany us for drinks.)
(Supervisor: Are you hosting someone?)
(Da Luoshan: Constantin III, if we can win him over, everything else will be easy.)
(Supervisor: Hearing that name, what woman would dare to come?)
(Da Luoshan: Just say only I'll be there, that'll do, right?)
(Supervisor: Alright, that's the only way.)
(Da Luoshan: Also, prepare more frozen berries, that bastard loves that stuff.)
(Supervisor: Understood.)
(Da Luoshan and the Supervisor chat for a while, then prepare to leave.)
(You terminate the deduction!)
Gu Yi opened his eyes and watched as Da Luoshan entered the building. He ate the last piece of his biscuit and then headed back to the casino.
...
9:30 PM.
Gu Yi arrived at Er Gou's storage room, took out a device from his black orb's space, and placed it on the ground.
"Er Gou, are you sure you can handle this alone?"
"Don't worry," Er Gou said. "I've set up a cognitive barrier here. Without my permission, no one will discover it."
"Oh."
Gu Yi nodded.
Obviously, the cognitive barrier also came from mortician's technology. Since he owned the black orb, the cognitive barrier didn't affect him. Even if Er Gou wasn't around, he could still easily find his workshop.
"By the way, I wanted to ask you something."
"Go ahead."
"Who is Constantine III?"
"The son of god," Er Gou replied without looking up. "This guy is a super pervert."
"What kind of pervert?"
"He's a sadist who particularly likes women with large breasts. His favorite thing is to strangle women to death and then cut off their tongues as souvenirs. However, he's also very generous with his money, so the owners of various nightclubs really like him coming to their places to spend."
"Constantine III is coming here tomorrow."
Er Gou suddenly stopped what he was doing and looked at Gu Yi with surprise.
"Are you serious?"
"You're worried about your daughter, aren't you?"
"Damn..."
Er Gou slapped his head in frustration.
Gu Yi gently patted Er Gou's shoulder and said calmly, "Don't worry, I can help you."
"You have no idea..."
"Don't worry, wait for me tonight. I'll come back and we can discuss what to do."
...
Gu Yi reported to the police station on time.
At 10 p.m, the phone at the police station rang. He walked over and picked it up.
Sssss
A burst of static noise sounded in Gu Yi's ears, and he opened his eyes to find himself once again in Kanon's hive mind space.
"Mr. Gu, I succeeded," Kanon was the first to speak. "I managed to escape Er Gou's surveillance and joined Xiao Xue's nightclub. She said tomorrow I need to serve a first-class citizen named Da Luoshan. Do you have any information?"
"Da Luoshan is the mine owner. His main job is mining and producing dream fragments. The mine where we work belongs to his assets.
Da Luoshan is very fat; the three of us together don't weigh as much as him.
Don't confront him directly, even I wouldn't dare to assassinate him without preparation."
Gu Yi paused for a moment, remembering his last one-on-one battle with Da Luoshan. If it weren't for his ability to use the power of the black orb, he wouldn't have stood a chance against Da Luoshan last time.
"Also, Da Luoshan's visit to the store isn't his main goal; his purpose is to bribe Constantine III to achieve his goals of power by making a sex deal. Constantine III is the so-called 'son of god.'
This guy is a psychopath who loves to kill women for fun. You must find a way to avoid serving him, and don't let Xiao Xue meet Constantine III."
"Is that even a thing?"
Kanon frowned upon hearing this. She had heard of various perverse inclinations in the real world too, but she had always regarded those as urban legends.
If she really had to entertain a psychopath, she would be the first to run away.
"Do you have any suggestions?"
Gu Yi frowned. His deduction talent was limited to his own dungeon progression, and he couldn't help Kanon foresee dangers. Kanon was a woman, and her talent can only help her in gathering information. To get through the challenges, she had to rely on her own abilities.
"I don't have any good suggestions right now. My advice is to try to convince Xiao Xue to leave the nightclub and avoid contact with Constantine as much as possible."
"It seems that's the only way."
Dennis looked at the two and quickly shared the information he had just obtained, "You two, I found the name Constantine in the library; I don't know if this information can help you."
