After the meal, Kiana, perhaps due to Mei's presence, was no longer so resistant to Senba Academy. She was eager to go and see the school, but eventually gave up because neither Evan nor Mei agreed.
After all, Kiana wasn't currently a student at Senba Academy. How could they let her visit the school, let alone Mei's dormitory?
Soon, it was late at night.
Evan looked out the dorm window at the dark night, then checked the time.
It was Friday, 11:00 PM.
Which day of the week was the easiest to slack off on? Evan thought it was Friday, because the next day was the weekend, a rest day. Even if ME Corp left staff on duty, they probably wouldn't be too vigilant. After all, according to the information Evan had gathered earlier, this unimportant ME Corp branch hadn't had any incidents for a long time.
Coupled with the fact that he had already determined the locations of the surveillance cameras along the way, as well as the various tools he had prepared for infiltration even earlier, Evan decided it was time to act.
Although the Third Honkai Eruption hadn't happened yet, these were things that should be completed before it did. If the weapons research lab at the ME Corp branch really had any powerful weapons, Evan couldn't be sure they wouldn't transfer them before the eruption occurred. And if there weren't any, he would need to formulate other plans.
Putting on a special black trench coat prepared for infrared cameras that could mask body heat, wearing an alloy mask capable of reflecting various detection rays, and fastening a waist bag containing various tools, Evan left the dormitory building.
This outfit had cost him a lot of money. Moreover, he hadn't bought finished products at first. Evan had bought large pieces of material and made the trench coat and mask himself, just to avoid attracting attention. It was a pity that ordinary people had no channel to purchase anti-Honkai weapons with money; otherwise, Evan wouldn't have had to go to such lengths.
Evan didn't head straight for the ME Corp branch. Instead, he circled around the outside of the branch building, approaching from a direction far from his dormitory. His gaze lingered on the skyscraper for a moment, and then he couldn't help but smile silently.
From the start, Evan had never intended to go through the front door. during his days as an intern, he had discovered that the windows on the upper floors of ME Corp weren't made of any special glass and could be easily broken. So, he had specially brought a glass cutter, planning to climb to the upper floors and enter through a window. But now, looking up, he saw that on this side of the building, more than a handful of windows in the high-rise rooms were open.
He specially went to a higher vantage point nearby and used binoculars to observe, confirming that the open windows weren't a trap, but simply that the staff had forgotten to close them. Evan then went to the base of the building. Relying on his physical fitness, which far exceeded the imagination of ordinary people, he climbed from the first floor to the outside of the fourth floor ina few light leaps and vaulted through an open window into a room.
This floor was pitch black, with no lights on and no guards. For Evan, this was like a fish in water. Normal cameras lost their effectiveness in this degree of darkness, and infrared cameras with night vision were perfectly countered by his special trench coat.
After some searching, Evan, who had reached the ninth floor of the building via the emergency stairs, finally confirmed that the weapons research lab was on the twelfth floor. However, the emergency stairs only went up to the ninth floor. To go higher, one had to take the elevator; there wasn't even an extra fire escape.
ME Corp really is a black-hearted company, not caring about employee safety at all.
Evan complained in his heart. He didn't plan to take the elevator to the twelfth floor. Both the identity verification procedures and surveillance equipment likely in the elevator would expose him prematurely. Before reaching the weapons research lab, Evan wanted to eliminate any possibility of exposing himself.
He went to an office on the ninth floor and opened the window. The biting night wind poured directly in through the window. It was high up here, and the wind was a bit strong.
He wondered if, with his physical fitness, he would die if he slipped and fell from here.
The ME Corp building was very imposing, with each floor being nearly five meters high. Evan was now on the ninth floor, close to fifty meters above the ground, and the twelfth floor was over fifty meters up.
Evan took a deep breath and climbed out of the ninth-floor window. He looked up, confirming there were no extra alarm devices installed, and continued to climb.
Then, the twelfth floor.
There were still no lights for illumination here, but there were many devices of unknown purpose with indicator lights of different colors on them. Besides that, the weapons research lab was indeed here. However, the main door was made of an alloy that looked like it had considerable defensive power, and it was very thick. As for the walls, they were even thicker than the door.
Compared to the integrated walls, the door that was installed later was definitely easier to break open with violence.
Evan quickly made a decision. After taking one last look at the way he came to ensure he could escape as quickly as possible later, he kicked the alloy door.
BOOM!!
First came a loud noise, then a piercing alarm sound. This was within Evan's expectations. Without pausing, he rushed into the research lab. Surprisingly, there weren't many things here. Aside from various equipment, there was only a large, pale blue sword placed in the center.
Good, he had a harvest.
Evan directly used violent means to break the tempered glass cabinet. He took out the greatsword and carried it on his back, covering it with his wide trench coat. Feeling his body suddenly become much heavier, he was not alarmed but delighted. Then, moving swiftly, he returned the way he came. After climbing out of the twelfth-floor window, he didn't plan to leave via the stairs from the ninth floor at all. Relying solely on his physical fitness, he slid all the way from the twelfth floor to the ground. Naturally, he suffered some minor injuries, but they were harmless.
And after Evan, who had burst out with terrifying speed, reached the ground, the security personnel in ME Corp, who had heard the alarm, finally hurriedly took the elevator to the weapons research lab on the twelfth floor. Looking at the deformed alloy door that had not been blasted by explosives but violently broken open by some more extreme method, the captain of the guard swallowed hard. She, who should have immediately led her team to search, stopped in her tracks. She understood that she would not be a match for an intruder capable of causing this level of destruction. She was afraid.
"Please contact the President. The weapons research lab of our Nagazora branch has been invaded. The enemy is extremely powerful."
The guard captain chose to report it.
