Chapter 152 Snooping
the next day.

Imperial Military Defense Command.

A mail van slowly stopped outside the side door, and the driver greeted the guards:

"Good morning, today's letter has arrived."

The guard opened the door and said, "Okay, help move it into the mail room inside, and deal with it when they come."

The mail van drove into the side door, went all the way forward, and stopped in front of a low building.

The driver got out of the car, put the bundles of mail and packages in the delivery room, and left.

10 minute later.

One after another, people came to work.

After passing the security check, the packages began to be distributed one by one, and then sent to various places in the headquarters in time.

Two 10 minutes later.

Office of the Imperial Armed Forces Command.

"General, here is a package for you." The female secretary walked into the office holding a small and delicate box.

"What?" The gray-haired general looked at the document and asked without raising his head.

"A commemorative small card of 'Family of Comrades' made of pure gold—I guess they were preparing this little thing when you gave a speech two months ago." The female secretary said with a smile.

The general said "Oh" and said, "Then leave it there, and I'll take a look at it later."

"Yes."

The female secretary carefully placed the card on the desk, and then withdrew.

The general continued to look at the file.

After a while, an angry roar came from the corridor outside:

"What's going on, the order of war launched a comprehensive identity cleansing today, I want to know what's going on immediately!"

The general's expression froze, and he shook his head suddenly.

bang——

The door was pushed open, and an angry middle-aged man broke in, and said in a deep voice, "General Pang, do you know what's going on?"

"General Ross, of course I know that because of a fire, many people died last night. After analysis by War Machine, it seems that this incident seems to be related to us."

"About us? God, what the hell did we do?"

"I'm also checking, but the relevant information is in the hands of the machine. It blocked what happened last night, so my progress is slow."

General Pang spoke slowly, and waited for the other party to gradually calm down before speaking again: "Everything was normal last night, nothing happened to us, only your people caused a little trouble at the Royal Academy..."

"Little trouble?"

General Ross raised his eyebrows.

He strode out of the room and disappeared in no time.

General Pang sighed, leaned back on the back of the chair, and rubbed his temples wearily.

At this time, he had time to glance at the small gold card on the table with the words "Family of Comrades in Arms" engraved on it.

A little gadget, worth nothing.

But in short, it is a heart, and it is pure gold, so it is not convenient to throw it in the trash can——

Just as he was thinking, he saw the female secretary appearing at the door, and said anxiously: "General, General Ross insists on breaking in, I can't stop him."

"It's none of your business, he has always been like this, by the way, when will War Machine check us?"

"In 10 minutes, it will question General Ross in the central conference room. After that, it will be your turn."

"Then let's go there first. By the way, these mails will be picked up later, and they must be sent out this morning."

"Okay, I'll notify them right away."

General Pang stood up and walked out of the room with the female secretary.

The room returned to silence.

10 minute later.

Liu Ping suddenly appeared in the room.

Lines of small characters appeared in front of his eyes:

"You used the strange card 'Rock of No Existence'."

"The current hour has been used."

"Current hour remaining: 00:01."

"Current hour remaining: 00:00."

"The number of uses has been restored."

"You can use this card again at any time, limited to once per hour."

Liu Ping buttoned up his uniform, casually picked up a few letters on the table, and exited the general's room.

He smiled inside and said, "Take your time, these letters will be delivered in time, don't worry."

After speaking, he closed the door.

In the corridor a few meters away, people working on business came and went.

—no one looked at him more.

Liu Ping put on his hat, pressed down on the brim of the hat, and stopped slowly when he reached the intersection.

He stood there, looking down at the mail in his hand, as if checking their addresses.

People coming and going all around were talking.

"Good morning."

"morning."

"Too busy today, let's have lunch together."

"Ah, what a bad day, I just finished being questioned by the machine."

"Really? I heard it's the turn of the generals."

"General Ross' roar could be heard all over the thirteenth floor, and you see, everyone ducked."

"Who says it's not? I also hid upstairs."

Liu Ping calmly flipped through the letters in his hand, then walked towards the stairs.

He walked down the stairs slowly, and sure enough, he soon heard the roar of General Ross.

"Ah, an eighth-level kid went to provoke, so you want to question the entire headquarters?"

"Damn...fire...whatever our business..."

"I am loyal to the Empire..."

"Go! Find that kid now, and let's talk about it face to face!"

Liu Ping listened for a while, and a voice came from behind:
"What are you doing here?"

Liu Ping looked back, only to see an officer looking at him.

"The general's letter, do you want to check it?"

He lifted up the letters and shook them in front of the other party.

The officer quickly saw the signature and the sender on it, and couldn't help coughing lightly:
"Then you can't just listen here all the time, hurry up and do your own work well."

"Hmph, you officials and lords are always bullying us to work. It's really boring." Liu Ping muttered and walked towards the downstairs.

The officer watched him from a distance, until he really went downstairs to leave, and then turned back to the meeting room.

Liu Ping stopped on the seventh floor.

This layer is responsible for some decommissioning and sick leave affairs. It is usually not so busy, so there are few people.

Liu Ping turned around and walked into the bathroom, closed the door, pulled off his fake goatee and put on a beard, went out, turned on the tap to wash off the makeup on his face.

He looks at himself in the mirror.

——My appearance has changed again.

Liu Ping walked out of the bathroom, then suddenly retracted.

In the corridor outside, a group of guards was escorting Qian Zhouwu to go upstairs.

Liu Ping stood in the bathroom for a while.

This thing is indeed strange.

Qian Zhouwu has become a kind of monster, why does he still have to come to the imperial city to find trouble for himself?
What were the identities of those people he killed last night?
Liu Ping thought about it all night, and only felt that if he didn't find out the truth of the matter, he would definitely fall into great danger and be passive.

There was no movement outside.

Liu Ping slowly walked out of the bathroom, came to the stairs again, walked up the steps, and soon reached the thirteenth floor.

There is no one in the corridor.

There was no sound in the meeting room either.

Liu Ping suddenly felt regretful.

That snarling General Ross could only be a little more powerful.

Standing in the corridor like this, he was not only suspicious, but also unable to hear any information.

Liu Ping thought for a while, stepped back a few steps, and stood at the door of the toilet on this floor.

In this way, if there is any big movement in the meeting room, I can immediately notice it, and if someone goes upstairs or downstairs, I can hide in the bathroom at any time.

No matter who it is, even if they notice that there are people in the bathroom, it is a normal situation, and it will not immediately arouse suspicion.

Just as Liu Ping stood still at the bathroom door, the meeting room door suddenly opened.

General Ross' voice drifted out:
"You trouble those people from the Royal Academy because they have problems?"

Qian Zhouwu's voice sounded: "Yes, they—"

Snapped!
The door is closed.

The sound cut off.

The female secretary came out and closed the door of the meeting room casually.

She walked very fast, obviously wanting to do something.

Without even thinking about it, Liu Ping shrank towards the men's bathroom with a flash of his body.

Damn Qian Zhouwu!

Did he want to frame him?

What method does he use?
By the way, he is already inhuman, so he will naturally have some unpredictable methods!

Liu Ping's thoughts flashed, and just as he was thinking, he heard a cough coming from the men's bathroom.

This voice—

It was the officer who drove him away just now!

If he recognized him, things would be troublesome.

Liu Ping turned around without hesitation, and hid in the women's bathroom.

The women's room was empty at the time, but—

The sound of high heels outside was getting closer.

The general's secretary!

She's in the bathroom!
Liu Ping took three steps and two steps, walked to the window and looked out.

——This is the thirteenth floor, and there is nothing outside. Once you turn out the window and lean on the bare outer wall, you will be spotted by the patrolling guards in charge of security.

How to do?
Climb, climb, climb——

The sound of high heels was getting closer.

The female secretary finally reached the bathroom door, and met the male officer.

The two looked at each other.

The male officer asked suspiciously: "Have you been here just now? Why do I feel that there is still someone here?"

"No, I just came." The female secretary said.

"No, there's obviously someone there." The male officer slammed the door open, rushed into the women's bathroom, and checked it carefully.

After a few minutes.

He walked out slowly and said awkwardly, "Maybe that person has already left."

"You can't rush into the women's toilet if you don't leave!" the female secretary said frantically.

"I'm sorry, it's weird, my premonition has always been good..." The male officer couldn't say anything more, shook his head, turned and left.

"Pervert." The female secretary cursed secretly.

The secretary pushed open the door.

She goes into the bathroom—

The entire restroom was empty and there was no one there.

The female secretary felt relieved, turned on the tap, and began to wash her hands.

She suddenly saw a pack of toilet paper on the sink.

"Huh? Now they have already started to provide toilets with public toilets? Not bad."

The female secretary pulled out a piece of paper.
