676 Alarm
Lightning King’s office.
The Secretary pushed the door open and walked straight to the back of the desk. Behind the desk was a waist-high iron cabinet, and inside the iron cabinet was a private safe that had been struck by lightning.
Although it was a private safe, lightning King forbade her from touching it after a certain period of time. Lightning King had given her his salary card for safekeeping, and that serious man would not have an affair behind his wife’s back. Why did he keep his private matters a secret from her and never let her touch them?
The answer was self-evident. There were some work-related things stored here, and the security level was very high.
“If it’s for work, why would he keep it in his personal safe? Since it’s in the safe, it means that the file room can’t find what’s inside.”
The Secretary had many speculations and suspicions about this safe.
With lightning King’s principles and rigor, he should not have kept confidential files in his own private safe. Based on his understanding of lightning King, the Secretary thought of two possibilities:
Or it was a very important confidential document with a certain uniqueness that made lightning King feel that it was not safe even if it was stored in the archive room. This did not mean that lightning King did not trust the ten gods of baoze or the Board of Directors, but he felt that the fewer people who knew the ” document, ” the better.
Or, it was something that he thought was very important but couldn’t determine the security level for the time being.
Lightning King had stopped her from touching the safe since mid-July this year.
This was a very sensitive period. At the beginning of July, li Xianyu officially joined baoze as a trainee. The Secretary thought that the things inside were probably related to li Xianyu.
She squatted down beside the iron cabinet and looked at it for a while. She took out the key that she had prepared earlier and opened the iron cabinet.
There was a safe inside the metal cabinet. From the outside, it looked like a very ordinary safe that could be opened by entering the password. However, the Secretary knew that there was an alarm mechanism inside. If she entered the wrong password, the alarm would be triggered.
Moreover, if the safe was violently torn down, the items inside would self-destruct.
What would the password be?
Based on her understanding of lightning King, the password must be a number with symbolic meaning, such as a birthday or some important Festival, which was in line with the rules of lightning King’s account password and bank card password.
His birthday ... No, it might not be his birthday. There was only one chance, and he could not miss it.
My birthday?
The Secretary’s finger touched the password, but she moved away. She was a little hesitant.
After thinking for a moment, she had an idea. She lowered her head and stared at her abdomen, and came to a conclusion.
“Di di di ...”
The sound of the password being entered rang out. When the Secretary pressed the last number, the digital screen of the safe showed the words ” successfully opened “.
Kachaa! The lock was opened, and the spring bounced the iron door of the safe open. The things inside the safe came into the female Secretary’s view.
The first floor was cash, gold bars, and a bag of diamonds. There was quite a lot of them.
She was stunned and stared at the bag of raw stones for a long time.
A while ago, lightning King told her that after a while, when the company’s Affairs stopped and he was not so busy, he would prepare to get married.
After all, she was pregnant, and it was inconvenient to get married when she was pregnant. It would be disrespectful to her and her child if she only got married after the child was born.
Lightning King prepared a surprise for this. The female secretary asked coquettishly, and the old man said that he planned to personally Polish a diamond and make a wedding ring.
When he said this, the old man’s face showed a happy and a little embarrassed smile. In the heart of this serious man, this was probably a very pretentious thing.
It was also the most romantic thing he could think of.
They were already secretly preparing for it ... The female secretary stared at the raw stone in a daze for a moment. The confusion and gentleness in her eyes gradually disappeared. She regained her calmness and looked at the top of the safe.
There was a flat file bag lying on the bed. It felt empty.
She tore off the seal of the document bag, tilted the bag, and poured out a small metal USB drive.
Not a paper document?
Baoze’s important documents were all paper. Of course, there were also electronic copies, but they would not be plugged into any connected computers.
The Secretary stroked the metal USB drive, and her eyes flickered. A few seconds later, she made a decision. She pulled out the office chair, sat down, and turned on lightning King’s computer.
The blue light reflected on her dignified and beautiful face. She skillfully opened the USB drive and found that it was a video.
She clicked on the video and was about to open it when she heard light footsteps and the sound of the office door handle being turned.
.......
Ding! Ding!
On the eighth floor, the elevator door opened.
Outside the elevator was an empty corridor. On both sides of the corridor were rooms with different functions, such as training rooms, entertainment rooms, swimming pools, and so on. These entertainment and leisure rooms were prepared for the guards.
To become The Guardian of the eighth floor, one had to have a deep otaku cultivation base and be able to live in a special area for months.
The Guardian of the eighth floor did not only guard the eighth floor. He was the chief Guardian of the demon locking tower at the headquarters. In a sense, he was just like a night club’s overseer.
The moment the elevator door opened, Thunderlord, who was sitting cross-legged and cultivating, opened his eyes. He looked through the glass wall in the direction of the corridor and saw a group of people walking out of the elevator.
They were wearing baoze’s uniform and peaked caps. The leader took the initiative to greet Thunderlord, ” “Thunderlord, we are here to retrieve the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi.”
Kusanagi-ji sword?
“Whose order?” Thunderlord frowned.
“It’s the Board of Directors.” The man handed a document to Thunderlord. some time ago, a major event happened in Japan. The temple of God was destroyed. Li Xianyu helped the official organization of Japan to kill the ancient demon. The relationship between the official organizations of the two countries has become closer.
“The Board of Directors has decided to return the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi to Japan.”
Thunderlord had also heard about what happened in Japan. Although he couldn’t leave the 8th floor underground without any special reason due to his job, he didn’t have access to the internet. As long as he glanced at the chat group, he could find out about the matter through his colleagues ‘conversations.
Did the Board of Directors decide to return the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi to Japan? I didn’t hear any colleagues mention it. Well, it was also possible that it had not been announced yet.
Thunderlord took the document and glanced at it. It was a very formal document with the seal of the Board of Directors, the signature and seal of lightning King and Cai Lun.
...
“I understand.” Thunderlord folded the document, put it in his pocket, and looked at them without any expression.
The people in the caps exchanged glances silently and let out a breath.
The document was real, but it was also forged, such as lightning King’s signature and seal.
The progress of the mission was much easier than they had expected. Thunderlord did not doubt it. Next, as long as they took the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi and the God of combat killed Thunderlord, this mission would be completed successfully.
He didn’t even need to create chaos.
Their greatest advantage was to be able to scheme against others.
Therefore, in the original plan, they would first take away the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi in a ” gentle ” way, and then the God of combat would ambush Thunderlord. They would then create chaos and interfere with baoze’s security Department.
If the first plan failed, he would make a move directly and kill the Thunder monarch to snatch the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi. This would bring about many uncontrollable variables. For example, the Thunder monarch would have enough time to lock the elevator to the surface.
If that happened, all of them would be trapped here.
In the face of Thunderlord’s scrutiny, the God of combat, who had put on a simple disguise, subconsciously lowered his head.
Thunderlord watched them walk into the depths of the corridor and stopped in front of the safety door where the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi was stored. The person in the lead took out a silver card from his pocket and scanned it with a “beep” to activate the door.
...
warning, warning, illegal intrusion!
An unexpected accident happened. The red light on the safety door suddenly flashed and the alarm went off.
The team with the peaked cap was obviously stunned for a moment. They couldn’t understand why the situation was going in this direction.
Did I take out the wrong card?
The leader subconsciously lowered his head to look at the bright silver metal card in his hand.
He didn’t take the wrong card. This was the card that the director had handed to him. It had the highest authority in baoze and could enter the eighth floor unimpeded, and even open the eighth floor’s security door.
There were no more than three such cards in baoze. Even the employee card of the executive department head, lightning King, could not open the safety door on the eighth floor.
warning, warning, illegal intrusion.
The ear-piercing alarm rang, and the red light flickered rapidly.
Both parties seemed to have woken up from a dream and knew that there was a problem.
The Thunder monarch didn’t even think. He opened his palm and condensed a one-meter-long Thunder spear. He shouted, ” everyone, put your hands behind your heads and squat down.
The God of combat lowered his knees and bent his body slightly. After a short period of accumulation of power, he rushed toward the Thunder monarch like a wild horse out of control.
Thunderlord did not hesitate and threw the lightning Spear in his hand.
The lightning Spear was silent, and wherever it passed, the lights above them went out one after another. A bright blue light filled the corridor.
The God of combat, who was running at a high speed, took a step sideways to avoid the lightning Spear. His speed did not slow down at all and he continued to advance.
The people in the caps at the back lay down together. The lightning Spear flew over their heads and disappeared at the end of the corridor. All the lights went out at the same time, and the entire eighth floor fell into darkness. Only the red lights were still flashing at a high frequency.
The moment the darkness enveloped everyone, the God of combat was like a vigorous leopard. He leaped up and punched the Thunder monarch.
The fist force exploded the air, creating a deafening Sonic Boom.
The Thunder monarch felt that it was not a fist that was coming at him, but a meteorite with an unstoppable power.
