First Interstellar Guide

Chapter 18

Views:

Most of the students at Sentinel Academy went to the ceremony, and some second-year students played in the snow on campus.

Over on the playground, a few students were having a snowball fight and were very excited. Their laughter could be heard from a distance. Walking from the isolation wall to the library, the playground was a must. Yu Ran asked the nine-tailed fox to activate its invisibility ability and quickened his pace to move forward.

I don't know which classmate accidentally threw a snowball, and it hit Yu Ran who was passing by. The classmate was about to say "sorry", but when he looked carefully, he was stunned: "Hey? I think I hit someone just now, why is there no one over there?"

His companion followed his gaze and said with a smile, "There's obviously no one there. You must have seen it wrong, right?"

The 14-year-old sentry scratched his head, ignored the incident, and continued playing snowballs with his friends.

Yu Ran gently brushed off the snow on his body and walked past the playground with a calm expression.

The Nine-Tailed Fox's invisibility ability made it very easy to deal with these young Sentinel trainees. However, his "invisibility" only made it impossible for the other party to detect him consciously, not that he really did not exist. His body would still interact with the surrounding environment, for example, leaving footprints and being touched by others, and these traces had to be erased.

In less than three minutes, Yu Ran arrived at the library of Sentinel Academy with familiarity.

The library is shaped like a shield standing on the ground. The building is 15 stories high and has an access control system. You need to swipe your student ID card to enter. Turn left at the entrance to the security room. Go forward through the hall and you will see three elevators to the upper floors.

The second-year students had not officially started school yet, and many people were reading in the library. Yu Ran waited for a moment, and soon saw a boy about 14 years old walking towards the door of the library with a schoolbag on his back. He should be a C-level sentinel, and his spirit body was a small black cat. The kitten did not notice the existence of the nine-tailed fox at all.

As the boy walked to the door, a clear and cold voice suddenly rang in his mind: "Where's your student ID?"

“???” The boy took out his student ID from his bag with a confused look on his face.

Yu Ran took the student ID from him, but the boy was unaware and stood there in a daze like a frozen puppet.

The voice in my head said, "You were going to the library to read a book, but when you got to the door you realized you had lost your student ID, so you went to the playground to look for it. You only went in after you found it, which delayed you a little."

The boy nodded dully and turned to look for his student ID card on the playground.

Yu Ran took his student ID card and swiped it to enter the library.

It was already nine o'clock in the morning, and there were not many people coming in and out of the lobby on the first floor of the library. Yu Ran quickly walked into the security room on the left.

The security guard on duty was stunned for a moment - the door was clearly opened, why didn't anyone come in? The security guard looked out the door in confusion, but what he didn't know was that a red mental tentacle was quietly crawling to the back of his neck.

A strange voice sounded in my mind: "The library's surveillance system is broken."

The security guard looked confused and mechanically repeated in his mind: "The library's surveillance system is broken."

"You have been on duty in the security room today and have not found anything unusual."

The security guard nodded blankly: "Yes, nothing unusual."

Yu Ran came to the surveillance screen, deleted all the library's surveillance records and access control records for today, and closed the surveillance program.

Then he walked into the elevator and pressed the 14th floor button.

The 15th floor of the Sentinel Academy Library is not open to the public. The "15th floor" button in the elevator cannot be pressed. Only the highest authority in the Sentinel Academy can open it. Normally, teachers and students cannot go to the 15th floor. Yu Ran can only take the elevator to the 14th floor and then find a way to climb to the 15th floor via the stairs.

The fire escape stairs leading from the 14th floor to the 15th floor were indeed locked.

Fortunately, this door has an ordinary door lock. Yu Ran took out a thin metal probe from his pocket. His hands were very deft. He turned it left and right in the keyhole a few times. With a light "click", the door lock opened smoothly. Yu Ran quickly climbed up to the 15th floor via the fire ladder and came to the heavy metal door.

"Library reference room, no entry for outsiders"

There was a sign at the door, and the metal door had a high anti-theft coefficient combination lock and pupil recognition device. Yu Ran frowned slightly. It was not difficult to decipher the eight-digit password, but his heterochromia was too distinct, and the pupil recognition system could easily record his information, so he could not enter directly through the main door.

Yu Ran looked around and soon found a more portable passage. He gently pulled the skin on his wrist - it turned out that he was wearing a pair of special gloves, which were as thin as silk and almost integrated with the skin when worn on his hands. It can be adsorbed on the wall without leaving fingerprints.

Yu Ran opened the window at the stairs and climbed out without hesitation.

This was the 15th floor. Yu Ran used his special gloves to stick to the wall and crawled to the side as nimbly and quickly as a gecko.

If it was Lu Zexuan, he could use the falcon's flying ability to fly directly over. The sentinel with a reptilian spirit body could also use the power of his limbs to climb high-rise buildings.

But Yu Ran is a guide. A guide doesn't have the natural strength and power of a sentinel. If he wants to climb, he can only use tools. That's why no one would have thought that the person who climbed through the window on the 15th floor and sneaked into the data room... would be a guide.

Yu Ran nimbly climbed to the window, inserted a very thin metal probe through the gap in the window, turned the lock, opened the window, and then jumped into the data room, rolled on the spot, and landed steadily on the ground.

The archive room contained the student files of Sentinel Academy over the years, with neatly arranged rows of folders, but these were not Yu Ran's goal. He walked straight to the back of the archive room and opened a secret door.

In the secret room of less than ten square meters, a holographic projection screen was flashing blue light. Yu Ran took out the microchip and connected it to the computer. A prompt popped up on the screen immediately: "Permission error! Permission error! Data will be destroyed soon..."

A shrill alarm sounded in the secret room.

After a moment, the warning characters disappear and a green prompt "Verification Passed" appears on the screen.

Yu Ran hurried to copy the data inside. He stared at the computer screen intently. The copy progress on the screen rose rapidly from 1%, and one folder after another was copied to the chip. When the progress reached 100%, Yu Ran immediately unplugged the chip and climbed out the window to retreat the same way.

At the same time, at the White Tower Central Command.

"Alert, alert! A strange intrusion has been detected in the Sentinel Academy Archives!"

A mechanical voice sounded beside his ears. The middle-aged officer's face darkened, and he quickly dialed the internal phone: "Go to the Sentinel Academy immediately!"

A small spaceship immediately took off and headed for the Sentinel Academy on the outskirts of the capital star at the fastest speed.

When Yu Ran was taking the elevator downstairs, the security guard just woke up. He subconsciously thought that nothing had happened and he just took a nap. The student who was mentally hinted to find the student ID card had returned at just the right time. Yu Ran stuffed the student ID card back into his hand, and the student turned around and walked into the library as if waking up from a dream.

In the gymnasium in the distance, the host said excitedly: "Let us give a warm round of applause to thank Major General Lu Zexuan for his speech!"

Applause floated over the academy. The white falcon was still circling in the sky. The nine-tailed fox spread its tail to protect its master and quickly retreated.

When passing by the playground, Yu Ran saw that the students were still playing snowballs. He used his mental power to hint, "The sentinels should exercise regularly and run a few laps back and forth from the playground to the isolation wall."

Several students nodded obediently: "Let's go running!"

The sentries moved swiftly, running in teams, and soon their footprints in the snow became a mess.

***

The opening ceremony of the Guide Academy next door is still in progress.

When Yu Ran returned to his seat, Dean Mo Wei had just finished his speech. The auditorium was filled with thunderous applause. The white fox that had been left in the seat for its owner quickly left. Yu Ran sat down calmly and applauded along with the students around him.

Roommate Kamiya looked at Yu Ran beside him and said with a smile: "Brother Ran, Professor Mo Wei's lecture is really good!"

Yu Ran nodded: "Yes."

Kamiya didn't notice the few drops of sweat running down Yu Ran's forehead.

In this mission, Yu Ran used mental suggestion to modify the short-term memory of more than 6 people. Fortunately, those were low-level sentinels and would not resist his mental suggestion.

The biggest variable is Lu Zexuan's White Eagle. After all, it is an S-level spiritual body with extremely sharp eyes. If the Nine-tailed Fox wants to slip under its nose, it needs to consume a lot of mental energy. The white fox has been staying here pretending to be the master, and now it is a little tired.

Yu Ran said in his mind: "Okay, you guys take a break."

The nine-tailed fox and the white fox returned to their own spiritual world. Yu Ran gently closed his eyes and began to repair his severely depleted spiritual world.

In the vast primeval forest, the sun shines on the ground, and the withered flowers and trees begin to take root and sprout again. All this happens silently and no one notices.

***

At the same time, a small spaceship with a special Federation logo suddenly appeared in the sky above Sentinel Academy.

The spaceship flew over the school and landed directly on the roof of the Sentinel Academy library. A tall man dressed in black jumped off the spaceship and summoned his spirit body with an expressionless face.

White Eagle, who had excellent eyesight, immediately reported: "Master, it's the reconnaissance department's spaceship, Zhu Tianyi, who has arrived."

Lu Zexuan narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance.

I saw a huge black spider with eight sharp long legs stretched out, lying on the roof of the library like a giant battle mecha. Dense white spider silk quickly spewed out of its mouth, forming a huge spider web that wrapped the entire building.

S-class Sentinel, Zhu Tianyi, the superpower evolved from the spiritual body "Black Spider" is precisely this spider web that no one can escape from.

It seems that something big has happened in the library.

It actually alarmed Zhu Tianyi, the chief of the investigation department

Lu Zexuan felt a little uneasy. He had been invited to be the guest of honor at the opening ceremony of the Sentinel Academy, and most of the students were gathered in the gymnasium. He had long felt that something was wrong, which was why the White Eagle was patrolling the sky all the time.

Unfortunately, White Eagle did not notice anything unusual.

Who is that person who could do such a trick right under the nose of the S-class spiritual being Falcon

Lu Zexuan frowned and told Bai Ying in his mind: "Go and see what happened in the library."
