"Is she out yet?" Linri asked. Currently, he was sitting in Hayato"s room and playing with an ice ball in his hands. He was changing its shape in a myriad of ways."No"
"Is she out yet?"
"No"
"Is she out yet?" Linri knew that he was acting like a little brat right now but he thought it was fun so he kept it going. He was especially wondering when Hayato was going to breakdown. Well, at least for the last 5 minutes he was able to keep his cool. Was he losing his touch? Oh no! What was he supposed to do if he lost his power to annoy people?
"No"
"Is she out yet?"
"No...Yes"
"Is sh- What did you say?" Linri stopped playing with the ice and looked at the screen to see Ms Snow leaving her room.
"What are you waiting for let"s go!" said Linri while pulling Hayato along with him. Selim should already be waiting for them downstairs and they needed his ability if they wanted to break in without leaving any traces.
Actually, his power was G.o.dsent for a thief. So why did he have to be such a bloodthirsty maniac? If it was Linri that had his powers he wouldn"t even consider becoming a merc.
"Here," said Selim while relaxing on one of the couches in the lounge. Thankfully this was their dormitory and they didn"t need to hide from anyone.
"Let"s go, Princ.i.p.al should be expecting us," said Linri. This was the code they decided on. It obviously meant Snow had left her room and it was time to go.
"Really? I thought we were going to br-" Linri hit Selim in the back of the head.
"Shut up you idiot! That was the signal!" Linri said in a half-whisper half-shout. Honestly, this Selim was really smart when it came to fighting but anything else? Linri was sure that even a monkey could be smarter than him. Yeah, well, what was he supposed to expect from a guy who accidentally killed his opponent during a spar? In the background that had seemed intentional but Linri was suspecting that Selim might have very well been idiotic enough to actually do that accidentally.
"Do that again and you will lose a hand!" said Selim. Linri did not say anything and looked at his eyes. Selim looked back. Sparks were flying between their eyes. Hayato then proceeded to drag these two macho idiots to Ms Snow"s room.
"You know what to do right? Just phase in and open the door. That"s it! Don"t touch anything else!" Linri reminded Selim. He, on the other hand, just shrugged and walked through the door. You see, Ms Snow"s door was different than all the other ones in this school. She had installed a hand scanner she made herself. Basically, you would need her fingerprints to open the door and there was no way in h.e.l.l that Linri could get it easily. So the solution was to bypa.s.s it and just walk in! I mean sure, maybe Hayato could have hacked it but Linri did not really want to have any chances. What if the device was wired to alert Snow? Wouldn"t their whole plan go up in smokes?
Selim phased in through the door and a second later Linri saw the k.n.o.b turn. He had opened the door from inside. Of course, there wasn"t a scanner inside the room. Who would want to scan their hand each time they got in or out? Putting one outside should be fine enough or at least that should be Snow"s thinking process.
Linri and Hayato walked in a hurry and closed the door behind them.
"Start infecting the cameras and get ready for the sentry guns" Linri reminded Hayato who had already started to hack the cameras inside the room with his nan.o.bots. Linri did not remember the exact event but there was a time someone had walked in Snow"s room for some reason and they were shot by sentry guns that appeared from the ceiling. He thought it might have been Riku who had come to ask a question but he wasn"t sure.
Linri slowly inched his way closer to the middle of the room. Actually, it would be more apt to call this place a suit. Anyway, he slowly walked closer and never left his eyes away from the ceiling. He was ready to jump sideways the moment guns pop out or create an [Ice Wall]. However, even though he was standing in the middle of the room nothing happened. Linri frowned, this was not how it was supposed to go.
"Hayato?"
"The sentry guns might have been connected to an optic program that commands it to shoot anyone who is not registered in the database. Maybe because I hacked the cameras it didn"t activate?"
When he heard Hayato"s explanation Linri relaxed. He wasn"t worried about the Sentry Guns themselves but the loud noise they would have made. Yeah, it was mentioned in the club that Snow"s room was insulated and no noise should leak out but it was always better to not take any chances.
"That was it? Seeing you acting like such sissies I thought there would be more action" said Selim. He was clearly disappointed that he didn"t get to fight anything. He was about to walk towards the fridge when the trio heard a certain noise.
*Click*
f.u.c.k!!!!!
Two holes opened from the ceiling and Sentry Guns started to come down. Linri concentrated. He only had a single shot with this. If he missed there would be bullet holes in the ground and they would be caught. Okay, no pressure... Just shoot the d.a.m.n thing! Okay! Don"t shout at me! It is making me nervous!
[Icicle Strike] x2
Two Icicles shot out of Linri"s hands and accurately hit the guns in the muzzle. Linri didn"t waste his time to use [Ice Manipulation] and made the ice go in through the cracks and ravaging the machines from the inside. On the surface, they looked fine but there wasn"t a single undamaged part inside them.
"Phew! Hayato get working on those security systems and Selim. Don"t you f.u.c.king dare take another step again" said Linri.
Both of them did as they were told. Hayato was hacking Snow"s personal computer and Hayato was standing guard at the door and making sure no one was coming their way. Linri, on the other hand, was thinking where would he hide his top-secret doc.u.ments if he lived in this room. He tried everything he could think of but nothing worked. Did that mean she really was not working with Renegades? No, Linri doubted that very much. Then maybe she was hiding everything online just like Hayato first suggested. Nah, she can"t be that dumb!... Can she?
"Done," Hayato said as he lifted his head from the computer. All the security systems in the room were temporarily disabled.
"Selim come here" Linri called him. He finally had an idea that might actually work.
"Yeah?"
"I need to you go and phase around everywhere in this room including the walls and the floor. Try looking around for a hidden compartment. Can you do that?"
"It would take a lot of time," Selim said. He looked like he wasn"t interested in doing this. He wanted to ofFER BLOOD TO THE BLOOD G.o.d!!! Yeah, jokes aside he would really appreciate it if he could punch something.
"Doesn"t matter we still have a couple of hours" Linri said. Selim reluctantly started to search the room.
Hayato didn"t say anything and kept searching the computer and copying the whole database into an external hard drive. Someone should pay handsomely for the inventions in this thing. Seeing that Linri did not say anything. They had agreed before that Hayato was not allowed to sell any kind of weapons he found inside there and could only contact the research facilities for deals. Most importantly Linri was getting a fifty per cent cut from every deal he made. It was a fair contract and even if Linri did not mention it he didn"t have any plans to sell it to any governments either.
"Guys? I think I might have found something" said Selim as he peeked his head out from the wardrobe.
"Dude! We don"t have enough time to perv over Snow"s s.e.xy clothing... Although I don"t think I would mind a sneak peek. Come on tell me! What does she have in there?" Linri was rubbing his hands like a creepy little old man.
"That"s not what I mean. Just f.u.c.king come!" said Selim as his head disappeared inside the wardrobe again.
Linri seemed excited. He was joking around about Snow"s s.e.xy clothes but Selim might have really found a treasure in there. No, he didn"t mean her clothes you perverts! He meant Selim might have found her hidden stas.h.!.+
"So what"s the deal?" Linri asked after opening the doors of the wardrobe but Selim wasn"t there. Snow"s clothes were neatly folded, sitting there without any sign of him. Linri was getting confused when his head peeked out behind the back of the wardrobe.
"It"s pretty hard to describe in words so just take a look at the pictures I just took," said Selim while handing out his phone.
Linri looked at the screen to see a cave?
