The Exchange Game Starting with Lu Mingfei

Chapter 16 Sakura

"Can't I say?" Chu Zihang frowned slightly.

If Huo Yuhao hadn't been so observant, he might not have noticed the change in Chu Zihang's expression.

Huo Yuhao smiled without saying a word.

"I also wish I could go back to how I used to be, but people always have to grow up," Huo Yuhao said meaningfully. "Perhaps only when you achieve success and have everything will you have the right to be carefree."

Caesar looked thoughtful. He put his feet off the table and said nonchalantly, "Now that you're alright, we should figure out a way to go down and find Princess Kaguya's mainframe."

Huo Yuhao naturally picked up the thread: "The building materials where Kaguya's mainframe is located can shield my mental power, and I couldn't find the corresponding entrance or exit."

"But a place like this usually only has two entrances at most." Chu Zihang also became serious. "One of them should be the elevator, without a doubt."

Just then, Huo Yuhao's phone rang in his pocket.

He was taken aback, took it out and looked at it, and found it was a text message.

Because of the terrorist attack on Genji Heavy Industries the night before last, all of Genji Heavy Industries' security exits are now under Kaguya's control. In other words, you were discovered by Kaguya as soon as you entered Genji Heavy Industries.

My phone has an electronic key stored in it. You can swipe it to open any door in this building and start sneaking around! ^_^

The two paragraphs contained completely different contents, leading Huo Yuhao to suspect that the little devil had some kind of personality split.

"We've been discovered," Huo Yuhao sighed.

He hasn't fully gotten used to the surveillance methods of this world.

Caesar frowned, looked around, and readily admitted his mistake.

From Lu Mingfei's memories, Huo Yuhao roughly understood the personalities of his two partners.

Caesar is a man of his word, and his background and upbringing have endowed him with confidence and arrogance, making him a natural leader; Chu Zihang is similar, but more like a lone wolf who is difficult to work with.

"We need some chaos, then a quick change of clothes." Caesar wasn't one to dwell on mistakes, and he quickly offered a solution.

Huo Yuhao is starting to miss the "Simulation" soul skill.

Unfortunately, it hasn't been developed yet; we'll have to combine it with similar "word magic" techniques and continue experimenting.

"Put on a few more clothes to slightly alter your body shape. As for changing clothes... I know a little bit about it." Huo Yuhao learned a lot in the Extreme Individual Soldier Project. Even though he could simulate this soul skill, physical makeup was still a required course.

"Before that, we need some props." Chu Zihang immediately ruffled his hair. "I'll go clear the way."

By now, it's time for the executive officers from the Japanese branch to come and arrest them.

Huo Yuhao stopped using his mental detection at full power and only checked the surrounding area once. He became puzzled: "No one is coming, but there's a commotion upstairs."

There really are people helping them "fish in troubled waters"!

"The Genji Heavy Industries had an accident the night before last when we were preparing to take action, and now that we're here, all sorts of things are happening again?" Caesar had a feeling that these two intrusions were like someone was watching their actions.

What exactly did Lu Mingfei mean by the text message he received?

Where did he get the phone from?

With so many suspicious points, Caesar didn't know where to begin sorting out his thoughts. But he knew very well that now was not the time to investigate the suspicious points about Lu Mingfei. They needed to find a way to find Princess Kaguya's main unit underground.

"If it's a shelter made of alchemical materials, we won't have enough C4 bombs."

Therefore, a direct attack is probably useless.

We still have to find the entrance honestly.

"Let's split up; three people would be too conspicuous," Huo Yuhao suggested.

Neither Caesar nor Chu Zihang refuted this.

So Huo Yuhao found paper and pen in the office and drew a simple map of the building for them.

"Yuan Zhisheng will be here soon. We'd better finish our mission and leave before he gets back," Chu Zihang said.

"I always feel like you guys should go to the 30th floor, I don't know why..." Huo Yuhao felt that the 30th floor was very attractive to him, but what was even more attractive was where Uesugi Erii was.

Perhaps his intuition told him to go and take care of Uesugi Erii, who is currently the strongest fighter?

"It seems we really do need to split our forces into three groups."

After Caesar finished speaking, he walked towards the elevator without hesitation.

Clearly, he intended to act as bait.

Chu Zihang walked out of the conference room without expression.

Huo Yuhao caught up with Chu Zihang and said, "Senior brother, let me try to see if I can help you open the access control for a hidden floor."

"But I'm not sure what you'll encounter after the elevator doors open."

Chu Zihang is a lone hero; even knowing there are tigers in the mountains, he still goes to Mingzhi Mountain.

He doesn't know how to talk to Huo Yuhao right now. He can't get used to a "Lu Mingfei" who doesn't spout nonsense.

It's as if that brat who used to run around in the pouring rain with his schoolbag on his head has also disappeared.

"Lu Mingfei," Chu Zihang suddenly spoke as Huo Yuhao swiped his card as the elevator doors opened, "You'll come back, won't you?"

Huo Yuhao paused for a moment, then said, "Of course, if I ever decide to smash someone's wedding car axle, you'll have to be my accomplice to repay my favor."

Chu Zihang's expression softened for a moment: "I will repay your favor."

Huo Yuhao stepped out of the elevator, while Chu Zihang stepped in.

The moment the elevator doors closed, Huo Yuhao whispered, "Thank you, Senior Brother."

Chu Zihang nodded, and the elevator doors closed completely.

Huo Yuhao didn't linger there to reflect. He found another elevator and directly selected the floor where Uesugi Erii was located.

"ξ?"

Huo Yuhao didn't recognize the character. Even though the reference book the little devil gave him mentioned that it was a Greek letter, he hadn't learned that far yet and didn't know what it represented.

It means an unknown variable, representing something uncertain.

The little devil's text message explanation came just in time.

Is that Uesugi family head an unknown variable?

Huo Yuhao sent a text message to the little devil: 【Are you deliberately making me go to him?】

Check your pockets, use the rubber duck to catch a Tsukuyomi!

Huo Yuhao reached into his pants pocket and, sure enough, pulled out a rubber duck the size of an egg.

Huo Yuhao vaguely remembered this little yellow duck; Lu Mingfei would put it in the bathtub to play with when he took a bath.

"How childish," Huo Yuhao said helplessly, putting the rubber duck back into his pocket.

The elevator doors opened, and he looked indifferently at the ξ floor, which had been ravaged for the second time in a short period of time.

He was used to seeing dead people, and even before he swapped bodies with Lu Mingfei, he himself was the culprit who caused a massive explosion in an entire city.

He didn't feel much psychological burden when people from his own world died, let alone foreigners from another world?

Go for it, Sakura!
