Chapter 546 Lucina's Quick Thinking

Chen Ke waited anxiously in the car. The situation with Lucina was beyond his expectation. He originally thought that they would go upstairs smoothly and then find an opportunity to sneak into the office, but the reality always goes against people's best wishes.

On the other hand, in the long and narrow corridor between pipes, Lucina and the others had reached the end of the other side of the passage.

Priskin opened the gray iron door a little and looked outside. The elevator was not far from here.

He waved and asked Lucina and Hall to look out at the crack in the door. They saw a lady in a gray business suit pressing the button for the elevator and then walking in.

"Look, the elevator is over there. It seems you can go up without swiping your card." Hall said.

"But there are cameras." Lucina pointed to the conspicuous white camera in the corner.

"That must be just one of the many cameras. The Administration should have hidden cameras." Priskin nodded.

"That means, no matter what, you will be photographed, right?" Lucina asked.

"Do you think they will be so vigilant? It's just three cleaners." Hall looked at Priskin.

"This is the administration, Hall. If it's just a county police station, that's a different matter. So this won't work, and the plan should be cancelled. Even if we go up like this, we will be found by agents soon," Priskin said.

"Chen Ke is still waiting outside." Lucina said.

"It doesn't matter if he waits, little sister, unless you want to be arrested by the administration." Hall said.

"The three of us will definitely be caught if we go up together, but if we go alone, there should be a chance to escape." Lucina said.

"I know what you are thinking...that is tantamount to throwing yourself into a trap." Hall said.

"I have a way. You guys stay here to help me cover... retreat when the time is almost up." Lucina said.

"Are you kidding? You think we're going to let you go up alone?" Priskin shook his head.

"Listen, listen guys, no matter how we go up, we will eventually be discovered by people from the Administration. One person is harder to find than three people. I have a way to hide myself, believe me." Lucina said.

Priskin and Hall looked at each other, still not relieved.

"It's too dangerous. You should contact Chen Ke and ask him to cancel the operation." Puriskin said.

"He won't cancel it," Lucina said.

"He'll get you killed," Priskin sighed.

"He won't let me die, okay? He knows exactly what he is doing." Lucina said.

"He knows very well... Of course I know that he knows what he is doing. He has always known it, but we are not very clear about it... I think there have been some changes in him recently, which are different from when he first came to be a postman." Huo Erdao.

"I also noticed, Lu, we got involved in this matter for your sake, because I don't know what Chen Ke would ask you to do." Puriskin also said.

Lucina took a deep breath, then put her hands on her hips and looked out the crack of the door.

"It's only twenty steps from here to the elevator. Should we stand here and chat until they get off work, or should we go out and take care of this matter?" Lucina was a little impatient. This was a sign that she was about to lose her temper.

"We need to think about it again...this is too dangerous." Hall said quickly.

"It's not dangerous. I have a solution. Just stay here." Lucina said.

After saying that, she opened the door and walked straight towards the elevator. Neither Hall nor Priskin responded.

"Hey!" Hall wanted to grab Lucina's hand, but she walked too fast and ran to the elevator entrance.

Fortunately, the elevator happened to be on the first floor. Within 2 seconds of Lucina pressing the button, the elevator door opened. Several staff members in suits came out. They looked at Lucina curiously, and then sideways let her enter the elevator.

Watching the elevator door slowly closing, Priskin and Hall also closed the small iron door. The two stared at each other, only blaming themselves for not following Lucina out immediately.

"What should I do?" Hall asked.

"Contact Chen Ke...tell him that Lucina went up alone. Maybe that's what he wants. Anyway, he only thinks about opening the door." Priskin shook his head.

"Now that the matter has come to this, we should be optimistic... After all, it was Chen Ke who fished her out of Asra's hands in the first place." Hall took out his mobile phone and sent a text message to Chen Ke while thinking casually.

"Up." Hall sent.

"All?" Chen Ke replied quickly.

"She's the only one." Hall also replied.

"Tell him that Lucina is in danger," Priskin interjected.

"Very dangerous, need rescue plan." Hall sent another text message.

After a while, Chen Ke wrote back: "There won't even be any scratches."

The floor indicator stopped on the 12th floor. Lucina slipped out of the elevator and looked at the unfamiliar corridor and the office behind the glass wall, where the clerical staff were busy working.

The mix of ringing phones, whispered conversations and the reverberation of high heels on the wooden floor made Lucina, who was used to the streets and the sea, feel an inexplicable sense of alienation.

Lucina didn't belong here. She had never been associated with being well-behaved and quiet, and she never imagined that she would be wearing a business suit, stepping on high heels, and working on the keyboard with her fingers quickly.

She walked cautiously against the wall, carefully looking at the sign on the door frame, looking for the archives door office.

Behind the glass wall, several staff members were walking back and forth, seemingly discussing something. She walked past quickly and was patted on the shoulder by someone from behind.

Like a frightened rabbit, Lucina trembled all over and turned around in horror, and found that it was a woman in a gray business suit. She wore glasses and was about the same age and height as Lucina, but she seemed more calm and restrained, and there was an inexplicable aura in her gestures.

"This is a restricted area. Didn't the guards downstairs stop you?" the woman asked.

"I'm here... to fix the toilet." Lucina replied.

"Huh? I don't remember the toilet on this floor being broken. Ma'am, can you show me your work ID card?" the woman said.

Lucina handed the counterfeit work ID card to the woman, her mind was running fast, trying to find a chance to leave.

"Well... I don't know this company." The woman muttered to herself.

"It's a pipeline problem, and it has nothing to do with the toilet. I want to see if there is any blockage in the toilet on this floor, and I also need to check the aging of the pipeline." Lucina said in a hurry.

The woman looked at Lucina suspiciously, returned her ID card to her, and said, "Okay, I'll take you to the bathroom, and you can leave immediately after you're done."

"No problem, ma'am." Lucina nodded.

The woman led Lucina through the complicated corridor and headed straight to the bathroom. On the way, Lucina saw a blue door with a sign that read "Archive Security Office"

"Okay, here it is, men on the left and women on the right. You're not going to the men's bathroom, are you...?" the woman asked.

"Of course not... and you don't have to see the men's bathroom." Lucina smiled.

The two walked into the women's bathroom, and the woman stood at the door and stared at Lucina's every move, while Lucina pretended to open each cubicle, pressed the button to flush the toilet, and checked for blockage.

This toilet is temporarily empty...

"Have you checked it?" The woman was a little impatient.

"It's not that easy." Lucina was brewing a plan in the innermost cubicle. She had a dangerous idea.

"Efficiency, I'm very busy." The woman sighed.

"Um... Madam, there's something wrong here, can you come and take a look?" Lucina said.

The lady pushed her glasses, an unhappy expression appeared on her face, and she walked towards the cubicle where Lucina was in her high heels.

"What's going on?" The lady looked inside.

"Bang!" A punch hit her face, knocking her nose and bleeding. She staggered back a few steps and sat on the washstand.

Lucina stepped forward and grabbed her shoulders, went around her back, and strangled the lady's neck with her right arm.

"You! ……………… Uh!! …………" The woman struggled and persisted for more than ten seconds, with her hands hanging on both sides of her body.

Lucina dragged the woman into the cubicle, looked at the door of the toilet again, ran over and used a broom to hold the door, and then ran back to take off the woman's clothes.

She unbuttoned her suit, took off her coat, and then unbuttoned her white shirt, revealing the body inside.

"Oh... it's really small." Lucina laughed.

In no time, Lucina stripped the woman's clothes off, then unzipped her overalls. After a quick cleanup, a chocolate-skinned lady in business attire came out of the bathroom.

She pushed her glasses, adjusted the unbuttoned buttons on her chest, and walked towards the archives security office.
