With the help of everyone, Ethan and others managed to climb out of the window. Even Hawkeye, who was hanging half of his body outside the window several hundred meters high, was now covered in white hair and sweat from fear, let alone Ethan.
Unfortunately, before Ethan could take a breath, Luther told another piece of bad news: "The machine that makes the simulation mask has malfunctioned and is broken. With the current parts, there is no way to repair it in a short time."
"This operation is a bit unlucky." Ethan smiled bitterly. "First, I had to climb a building, and then half way up, one of the gloves was broken, and then this happened again. What else could happen next? Could it be that the person who copied the password couldn't even do it? Will the box malfunction too?”
"Shh, don't say this nonsense." Li Meiqi quickly made a gesture of silence, "Some things are better to be believed than not."
Ethan rolled his eyes, stood up while holding on to the wall, and said in a deep voice: "Although Sabine Moreau is already here, Kurt at least hasn't shown up yet, which gives us time to change our plan..."
Before he finished speaking, Luther, who was checking the surveillance camera, raised his hand: "Sorry, Kurt was found in the lobby on the first floor, and he was accompanied by another person."
Hearing this, Ethan felt his legs soften and almost sat back down on the ground. However, the quality of an agent allowed him to stand still and reluctantly moved his legs to come behind Luther: "Who did Kurt bring?"
Luther intercepted the surveillance footage, zoomed in on the man next to Kurt, and compared it with the search in the database, and quickly got the results.
"Russian senior nuclear weapons engineer, Chikov Sherson."
Luther swallowed involuntarily and looked up at Ethan.
Obviously, Kurt brought such a person here just to verify the authenticity of the launch code.
"Ethan, if Chikov is here, it will be useless even if we have masks to disguise ourselves." Jane said from the side, "The other party will only need to look at the password to know the authenticity."
Hawkeye crossed his arms and said loudly: "Just don't do all these fancy things. Since both sides are here, we might as well take them all down and interrogate them directly."
Ethan shook his head: "No, Kurt didn't carry a nuclear bomb launch box. If we can't catch them all, there will always be hidden dangers."
Luther stared at the surveillance camera and said in a deep voice, "They have arrived at the elevator door. You need to make a decision quickly."
"Interfering with them," Ethan gritted his teeth, "slowing down their ascent."
Luther shook his head helplessly, and typed quickly on the keyboard with his hands. Immediately, the elevator speed in the entire building slowed down visibly to the naked eye.
"Ethan, not everything in the world can be perfect." Hawkeye said urgently, "Seize Kurt and stop the crypto transaction. So what if the other party has a nuclear bomb launch box in their hands? It doesn't matter at all."
Ethan held his chin, thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "No, what if Sabin didn't bring the password with him?"
Hawkeye said: "How could she not bring the password with her for such an important transaction?"
"What if?" Ethan said solemnly, "Besides, who can guarantee that this Kurt is real and not someone else pretending to be wearing a mask?"
Hawkeye was speechless by Ethan's words.
This is no longer normal communication, but an argument.
Luther looked at the surveillance camera and urged: "Hurry up, the elevator is almost to the first floor."
Although Luther slowed down the elevator speed, he couldn't go too far. What's more, Kurt and the others arrived just in time, and there was an elevator on the seventeenth floor. It has not yet reached the first floor, which is enough to make people anxious.
Hawkeye snorted, spread his hands and said, "Then what should we do now? The mask maker is broken, and we can't provide a fake password. Are we just going to watch them complete the transaction?"
Ethan gritted his teeth, suddenly clenched his fist and said, "Then don't wear a mask."
"What?"
Everyone looked at Ethan like he was an idiot.
Ethan asked in a deep voice: "Who said they must know each other."
Hawkeye stepped forward: "Shabine Moreau is a famous female killer in the killer circle. Kurt will definitely know her. Even if he has not met her, he should have seen her photos."
"What if?" Ethan seemed to be in a daze, gritting his teeth and said, "What if they don't know each other?"
Hawkeye spread his hands and took two steps back helplessly, speechless.
Jane said from the side: "Okay, even if they don't know each other, how should we deal? Don't forget, Kurt also has an expert with him."
Ethan fell silent again.
Luther looked at the surveillance screen and raised his voice: "They have entered the elevator and are expected to arrive at Sabine Moreau's floor in three minutes. No matter what you want to do, make a decision quickly."
Ethan suddenly looked at Benji: "Will it take a long time to modify the programs of those two file boxes?"
Benji frowned warily: "How do you want to modify it?"
"Copy without tampering."
Benji opened his mouth: "That's very simple. It just adjusts a few codes. It doesn't take a few seconds... But, Ethan, what do you want to do?"
Ethan gritted his teeth and said, "Give them the real password."
"Walter?" Jane rushed forward and said anxiously to Ethan, "Are you crazy?"
"No, I'm not crazy. On the contrary, I'm very sane." Ethan said solemnly, "Only in this way can we deceive Kurt, so that we can follow the clues and find the nuclear bomb launch box."
Hawkeye sneered: "With our luck today, do you think such a complicated plan will succeed?"
Ethan said solemnly: "I am the captain of this operation. I have made the decision. Any consequences will be borne by me alone."
Now that Ethan has said this, what else can others say. Although Luther kept opening the elevator door and slowing down the elevator's ascent, after this period of time, Kurt was still almost on this floor.
"You and I are going to see Sabine Moreau."
Ethan pointed at Hawkeye, who did not refuse and nodded.
"Maggie and Jane stay to meet Kurt, Benjy and Luther are back-up."
Fortunately, when Ethan was climbing the wall just now, Benji had already changed all the house numbers on this floor as planned. In this way, Luther only needs to tamper with the elevator to make it appear that it has stopped on the 143rd floor, but actually stopped on the 142nd floor.
"Let the action begin, and hopefully this time, God is on our side."
Ethan put on his suit, nodded to the others, and walked out of the room with Hawkeye.
At the same time, in the apartment building in the Far East.
The light wings behind Anna have turned into dark gray, a pair of eyes turned into dark black, and a hoarse and unpleasant voice came from her mouth: "Thank you, Son of the Fallen, the great dark power welcomes you..."
"Hand of salvation!"
Anna: “…”
Boy, are you going back and forth
