Ke Xuezhuo's son-in-law

Chapter 356 The Melancholy Clown

In the silent room, the dim lights cast a shadow that enveloped the restless air. Afterlife Hitomi was wearing a blue tights, sweat rolling down her forehead, her eyes full of determination and anxiety. She was based in a small space surrounded by irregular obstacles that seemed to relentlessly block her path.

Obstacles come from all corners of the room and take various shapes, from towering steel walls to sharp spikes protruding from the floor to a ceiling intricately woven with twisted metal structures.

Every time Hitomi avoids obstacles, it seems extremely difficult. She is like a dexterous blue shadow, dancing in the extreme space, struggling to find a chance to survive.

Cameras were placed in every corner of the room, their red lights flashing, scanning every corner vigilantly.

Afterlife Hitomi knew that once discovered by the camera, it would lead to a devastating attack. She tried to use every tiny gap and every tiny sound to avoid the camera's sight, but the three cameras formed a joint strangulation situation, leaving her with nowhere to escape.

Although Afterlife Hitomi kept trying, and every move she made was full of power and speed, the obstacles and the camera cooperated so well that there were almost no flaws to be found. Her forehead was covered with sweat, her breathing was rapid and irregular, and her eyes showed a look of exhaustion and disappointment.

Just when Hitomi felt unable to continue, the door to the control room was opened and the lights turned on. The room suddenly became brighter, revealing Shengtong's tired figure. She relaxed her body and dropped to the floor, declaring her surrender. The overwhelming dilemma made her realize that the difficulty of this operation was far beyond her ability.

The other two women in the control room observed Afterlife Hitomi, with a hint of sympathy and understanding in their eyes. They turned on the lights throughout the room, casting light around Hitomi's surroundings while also providing her with a sense of warmth and comfort. All this proves the difficulty of this operation and shows that the new student does not seem to be suitable for such a challenge.

"Xiao Tong, if this were a real fight, you would have been eliminated. Look at what you look like like this." Laisheng Lei looked at the monitor in disappointment and sighed.

Xiaotong, who was resting on the ground, also opened her eyes and smiled, "It's not my style to chase after you."

"It seems that we have to give up this operation. If we don't dodge, we will be exposed. The vault of Beinnan Bank is also such a safe supporting device." Laisheng said with tears, "Okay, Xiaotong, come out, let's rest. a while."

But she raised her head again and found that Xiaotong disappeared directly from the surveillance screen.

"Eh? Xiaotong?" Lai Sheng's surprised tone of tears welcomed Xiao Ai's echo. She had only glanced elsewhere just now, and the second sister disappeared from the surveillance camera.

(My invention must have worked hehe)

Different from Xiao Ai's calmness, Laisheng became a little anxious. She operated the joystick and began to command the surveillance angle to search around the whole house but found nothing.

(How did Xiaotong do it?)
  With this doubt, she carefully scanned the surveillance camera again and could not see Xiaotong.

Just when she was confused, Hitomi walked out of the back door with the 'target' in her hand.

"Where are you hiding, Xiaotong?"

"Haha. I didn't hide anywhere. Is it because you didn't see it?"

"What? What do you mean?" Laisheng Lei still asked in confusion.

Laishengtong smiled mysteriously, then took out something with a chip and threw it to Laishengtilai, "You have to ask our genius girl about this. This is a new invention she spent time tinkering with. It can be used to forge a paragraph." The surveillance video blocks our true whereabouts.”

Lai Sheng Lai held the chip in his hand and turned to look at Lai Sheng Ai. Xiao Ai, who had expected it for a long time, showed a arrogant look, and did not forget to boast, "It took me a whole night to do this."

Seeing his sister put on a "please praise me" posture, the future life, who had fully understood, touched Xiao Ai's hair fondly and affirmed, "Well done, Ai."

"hey-hey."

Seeing that the plan was guaranteed, Tears of the Next Life also announced the goal this time. It was the work "Melancholy Clown" that my father painted 30 years ago.

“This painting is currently being exhibited at the North South Bank Exhibition and is also one of my father’s favorite paintings.”

"It's great. This should be an expression of the character's inner melancholy after the performance. Maybe my father had such a mentality at the time?" Love, who had never seen his father's afterlife, looked at the paintings on TV with admiration and showed great yearning. , she has not seen her father since she was born, not even in photos or videos.

"Take off your mask and rest alone. My father must have been living this way for a long time."

The three women all sighed, but they all yearned to find their missing father and ask what happened to him over the years. I will not let the heavy atmosphere continue. "Well, according to the plan, we must send Xiaotong to the bank vault before ten o'clock tomorrow."

"Okay." As the person in charge of action, Afterlife Hitomi has nothing to shirk. Since she has Xiao Ai's invention in hand, it means nothing can go wrong. However, what she cares about is what day of the week tomorrow is and whether there are other things that conflict with it.

"Of course tomorrow is Sunday, because the painting will be taken back to the airport by the police on Monday, so we have to start as soon as possible."

Xiao Ai explained casually that she had long been used to the second sister's time perception disorder.

Hearing her sister's explanation, Xiaotong frowned, "Oh, it's Sunday. That's okay, but I promised Fujiwara to give him his last class tomorrow. What should I do? How about I assess Fujiwara in the morning and test him in the afternoon?" Forget it, just go to the bank and get the painting before Monday."

Xiaotong's suggestion was met with confusion by the other two.

"Can't this be done another day? I'm afraid that if you're busy tomorrow morning, you won't be able to do it in the afternoon."

"Sister, you're right, you should put business first, and that guy has learned so much, wouldn't he have gained a lot without this time?"

The two people's reactions exceeded Xiaotong's expectations. Why were they like this, especially Tears, who couldn't express this reaction.

"But I've already made a deal with him and I can't just cancel it."

"But we can't let this matter delay our business. If we miss this opportunity, we will have no chance. Xiaotong, think about it carefully."

"Yeah, why are you so nice to that guy who might put us in jail at any time?"

Xiao Ai's words were like a sharp thorn that pierced the hearts of the other two people. Xiao Tong and Lai Sheng Lei looked at Xiao Ai in surprise at the same time.

Although Tears of the Next Life had the same opinion, she couldn't do it so straightforwardly.

Xiao Tong couldn't understand why Xiao Ai said such cruel words. Even though he had several confrontations because of his stance, Fujiwara is still a very good person.

"What's the matter with you little brat? Didn't you like him very much before? You're like Fujiwara, how come you suddenly..."

"That was before. Anyway, now I can't face a person who is standing with the police and trying every means to arrest us. And can a detective and a phantom thief be together?"

Seeing that Xiao Ai was going too far, Tongyan from the next life stopped Xiao Ai and told her not to talk too much.

"Humph, I'm not wrong anyway, you think so too, right?"

"Okay, little Ai, you have a lot to talk today, so go back first." After saying this, the younger sister looked at Xiaotong with tears in her eyes, "You will act according to the plan tomorrow. As for the cooking test, leave it to me."

This plan can work without anyone, even if it cannot lack their responsibility for action.

"Okay, it seems like this is the only way to go, but that kid has gone too far."

"No, although what Xiao Ai said is a bit excessive, what she said is exactly what we need to face face to face. Think about what happened last time when he almost got caught."

"But that's his job, and I wasn't caught that time, so why do you still care?"

"Yes, you don't care if you are caught, but what if you are caught?" Laisheng asked with a teary face and a calm face.

"That's it." After Shengtong thought for a while, she really didn't know what to do if she was caught.

Xiaotong, who became more and more confused as she thought about it, simply handed the painting to the next generation and went upstairs angrily.
  (Yes, what am I struggling with? He is not my boyfriend)
