Universal Mechanic

night

Xi Qiling snapped her fingers to turn her short hair into waist-length hair, then put on an opera mask and said.

Xi Qiling: The transformation is complete.

Noel: You just grew your hair longer and wore a mask.

As he spoke, Noel changed the hairstyle of Charlotte's black wig.

Xi Qiling: How can you, a guy who wears a mask almost all day, not understand the value of my mask? It can interfere with other people's cognition, not to mention that I am still wearing the dress prepared by Zhi Qianshang?

Charlotte: Is your mask as effective as Sister Yunqi's? And I'm wearing a dress too.

Xi Qiling: ...You hurt my heart when you say that, sister. Is that power comparable to my magic? But Sister Yunqi is definitely too lazy to buff us at any time, so my mask is still more cost-effective.

Chu Yunqi rolled her eyes and said: I'm not lazy. If I don't control the power of your interference ability, most people will not be able to see you.

Charlotte thought for a while and suddenly said: What will happen if Sister Yunqi slips?

Chu Yunqi: Well, unless Anna is in a good mood and still remembers that she has several younger brothers, we can only pray for you. Oh, no, if it really comes to that, we might not even remember you.

Charlotte: ...Give me a Xiqiling mask.

Xi Qiling took out a mask and handed it to Charlotte, saying: This is my spare one. I have only used it once or twice. It can be used as a means of proving your identity because I will not give the mask to anyone other than my confidants.

Charlotte: But would you please attend as your confidant?

Xi Qiling: That doesn't matter. After all, I would personally go to various places to collect intelligence. This time the matter is very big, no one will suspect me even if I show up. As for the identity of the confidants, there is no need to worry because none of the confidants I bring are duplicated.

Charlotte: Then you're welcome.

Xi Qiling: Just don't embarrass me. But since I'm attending this dinner, all attention should be focused on me. So you should be able to steal the information, right?

Charlotte: Sure. After all, with my status, no one would care if I left.

Xi Qiling: So now we are short of a bodyguard. Who will come?

Noel said while organizing his tools: Don't look for me, I have something to do later.

Asta sat on the sofa and said helplessly: Don’t look, everyone is busy.

Xi Qiling: Then only the two of us can go...By the way, you haven't finished writing yet?

Asta turned the pen helplessly and said: "...Do you know how much information there is? Even with my hand speed, it would take at least half a day to finish all of them. Fortunately, Yue Qiance provided an unlimited number of pages, which saved the time of changing books.

Xi Qiling: What do you want to change?

Asta: I haven’t decided yet, but that doesn’t stop me from giving him the book first.

Xi Qiling: Then I will buy one from you.

Asta: Let’s talk about it later. I’m really too lazy to write another one.

Xi Qiling: Let’s talk about it later. By the way, how long will Noel need to prepare?

Noel: Okay, okay, it’s very troublesome to cover Charlotte’s ears with a wig. Charlotte, move a little so I can see if there is anything exposed.

Charlotte: Got it.

After saying that, Charlotte simply jumped twice and turned around a few times.

Noel: Well, that should be enough as long as there is nothing exposed. I have to get ready to attend a party. By the way, Xi Qiling, can I borrow your token?

After saying that, Noel packed up his things and prepared to leave.

Xi Qiling waved his hand and said: Well, don't worry, use it as you like. We are one of us, so I can give you a discount.

Noel: Thank you!

After saying that, Noel put on his magic hat, opened the space door and left.

Xi Qiling: Then let’s set off too, Charlotte.

Charlotte put on leather gloves and said: "Okay, okay, Master Ling."

Then the two of them opened the space gate and came to a house a few streets away from the Ares Academy.

Charlotte looked at the decorations and crowds outside and said: It's really lively.

Xi Qiling: After all, for ordinary people, what happened today is too far away from them. However, there are still some sharp-eyed guys here. I am still considering how much information to give out.

Charlotte: I really need to think about it before selling it. By the way, how do we get there?

Xi Qiling: I have asked someone to prepare a car in advance... Can you drive?

Charlotte: Of course I can. Why do you think I can't drive?

As he spoke, Xi Qiling took Charlotte to the garage and asked Charlotte to drive.

Charlotte looked at the plain black car in front of her and said: This car is even plainer than I thought.

After Xi Qiling got into the car, he said: It is a bit simple, but it is a classic model in the dark world. Anyone who knows the goods will be able to tell it at a glance.

Charlotte put on her seatbelt and said, "Really? I haven't heard of that."

Xi Qiling: After all, it’s just a little style, so it’s normal that you don’t know it. By the way, just drive forward after exiting the garage, and someone will help us park when we arrive at the door.

Charlotte: That's really not careful in Dark World style.

Xi Qiling: So this car is disposable and we will leave directly after achieving our goal.

Charlotte: Got it.

While chatting, they had already reached the door. After Charlotte handed the key to the servant, the two walked into the venue.

Xi Qiling casually threw the invitation letter with suspected blood stains on the table and said to the waiter.

Xi Qiling: Can we get in like this?

Hearing Xi Qiling's cold voice, the waiter said in a trembling voice: Yes, yes! Please!

As the two entered the venue, people nearby whispered.

Hey, that mask and hair are indeed his! ?

Perhaps she came here because of what happened this morning? ...It seems that the mysterious person who attacked Thorn was her.

Why did she do this on purpose? With her status, she should have been able to receive an invitation.

Your information is too backward. For some reason, that person unconditionally gave all his property to the daughter of Lady Lilith.

That mysterious lady? Did she want to rely on Lady Lilith?

Who knows? After all, that person has always been mysterious.

By the way, speaking of mysteries, did you know that the strange thief Feng Ling who is active in the Universal Federation sent out a preview letter?

That's true.

But I remember that the thief’s style is only to attack bad guys, right?

...The style of the God of War Academy has changed so much that it is not surprising that it is targeted, but I didn't expect that the God of War Academy did not make any big moves.

They probably didn't take it seriously, right? Besides, they probably didn't have the energy to spare. After all, what happened in the morning was too traumatic for them.

Xi Qiling in the meeting room nodded with satisfaction and spoke in secret.

Xi Qiling: Their attention is indeed on me, you must seize the opportunity.

Charlotte: I see. Then I'll leave this to you.

Xi Qiling: Leave it to me. I also need to publicize the information about the Queen.

Charlotte: ...Don't become Sista No. 2.

Xi Qiling: Are you qualified to say that to me?

Charlotte: ...I'm going to steal something.

With that, Charlotte blended into the crowd and began to sneak in.

As the bell rang, announcing the start of the dinner, the two of them began their actions.

Charlotte walked through the crowd, pretending to find a quiet place to rest. She came to a screen that was playing the history of Ares Academy, pretended to take pictures with a special mobile phone, and took the opportunity to use the lens to inject a one-time Alpha program into the player, allowing Alpha to hack into the main control system while she watched the contents on the screen.

Only after the entire song was played did Charlotte leave for her destination.

As she moved forward the number of people dwindled until she was stopped by two guards.

We are very sorry, this is a confidential area ahead and you are not allowed to approach!

Charlotte could only bow slightly and say: "I'm sorry, I wanted to take a walk before the dance started but I didn't expect to walk so far. I'm leaving now."

You have to be careful, others are not as gentle as us.

Yes, I heard that a few people with bad tempers also came here.

Charlotte: I see. I'll pay attention to that. Thank you and I wish you all the best in your work.

After saying that, Charlotte turned and left. Then she walked into a corner and came to the atrium, pretending to pick up food for the dinner. While choosing dessert, she walked to the side of an aisle.

夏洛特：（5、4、3、2、1。）

After Charlotte's countdown ended, all the lights were suddenly turned off, plunging the scene into darkness. It was not until five minutes later that the lights finally returned to normal with the comfort of the staff.

Among them, only Xi Qiling saw Charlotte jumping over the wall and climbing into the teaching building in the dark.

Xi Qiling: Oh my, this is really an amazing episode.

Xi Qiling's voice was not loud, but in this quiet situation her voice was loud enough for everyone present to hear.

It's just a small accident, Ms. Yue, you don't need to mind it.

Xi Qiling looked nonchalantly at the Dean of the Ares Academy who had already been discovered by her. Of course, as a professional intelligence dealer, she couldn't be too cold.

Xi Qiling chuckled and said, "Oh, isn't this Mr. Robert Priestley? I didn't expect you to come here in person."

Robert Priestley's face froze slightly when he heard Xi Qiling's words, but he immediately smiled and said.

Robert Priestley: I don't understand what you are talking about Ms. Moon.

Xi Qiling: This title is quite nostalgic. It was used by me when I woke up last time, right? But this is not the point. You should know that my Huangyue Pavilion is the world's number one intelligence organization. You have been in the limelight recently, so I collected some intelligence. Don't mind.

After hearing what Xi Qiling said, Robert Priestley gritted his teeth and said: ...No.

Xi Qiling said to himself: So it seems that a celebrity has sent a notice letter. How can you still be so confident?

Robert Priestley: He's just a clown. We have nothing to hide. It would be a joke to expose our hidden secrets!

Xi Qiling: Really? Haha, since you are so confident, let me wait and see.

After saying that, Xi Qiling turned around and left. Charlotte had already sneaked into the office, so she could go about her own business. As for what others thought, that was none of her business.

Xi Qiling: Then let’s start with the traveling merchants. The ones who move around and aren’t very careful are probably the Flying Bird Chamber of Commerce and the Weather Chamber of Commerce.

Just when Xi Qiling went to spread the news, Charlotte had already sneaked into the dean's office.

Charlotte ignored the luxury items displayed in the office and walked straight to the desk, easily pried open the lock and took out the documents inside.

Charlotte: (They are all unimportant documents and materials. I guess I need to find a secret room.)

While thinking about it, Charlotte casually took away a few documents related to the flow of funds, then used her mental power to find the mechanism of the secret room. Then Charlotte touched the mechanism and entered the secret room.

Charlotte picked up a book at random and started flipping through it, but the book was a few years old and some details were no longer clear.

@#The God of War of the Kingdom of God has breached the contract! Damn it, I knew these guys couldn't be trusted! At this rate, we'll be even worse than those old antiques in the City of Silver!

@$1 year 8 months @6 days

...Damn it! Why is ##@ no one willing to listen to me! Are you satisfied with just a little bit of power? Don't you see the look of contempt in others' eyes!

@$1 year 1@ month @ day

There's a chance! I don't know why those gods would need me to protect a baby but this is a chance! A chance to turn things around.

@$1 year 12 month @ day

Why! Why is Xingxing there! She even took the baby away! No, I still have a chance! Those gods are still here! As long as they take action!

I can't believe what I saw. That woman just waved her hand and killed all those gods! No no! She is not human at all. What is she?!

@11 years @ months @ days

Those damn bastards actually wanted me to steal that baby! Didn't you see that not even ashes were left of those gods?

3$1 year@month 9 days

I finally have time to write a diary. The baby from back then has grown up and has become a candidate for general. Damn it! This is not what we agreed on!

@$1 year 1 month @ day

I encountered a strange thing today. Damn it, if I hadn’t been blessed, I would have been controlled by it!

...He wants to make a deal with me. He wants to evolve and needs me to hide for him. In return, he will help me become a general...

I agreed.

3$1 year@month@9 days

...Today, those gods actually chose to lower their posture?

Seeing this, Charlotte did not read on. Instead, she took out a blank book from the Void Library and directly copied the contents of the diary. Then she looked at the sapphire jewelry placed aside.

Charlotte: (Is this the communication device mentioned in the diary?)

While thinking about it, Charlotte took a few photos and uploaded them to the group, then directly took the communication device and threw it into a cloth bag.

Charlotte: (…What should we do next? The deal between the two parties is more superficial than we thought. No wonder Xiaoxing’s intuition didn’t react. But there aren’t many things we can use. Let’s go to other offices and check…Is anyone there?)

As Charlotte walked out of the secret room, she sensed someone approaching, but the person entered another office.

Charlotte: (Let’s go check it out.)

Then Charlotte regretted it. A young man and woman were dating in the office.

Charlotte: (…I’m starting to regret this… Damn it!)

Just as Charlotte was about to change into other equipment, she saw a pattern peeling off from the two people on the date and flying out of the window. Charlotte hurried to the window and saw a series of patterns with divine power combining together in the air. They were exactly the same as what she saw in the morning! But they were nearly ten times larger than what she saw in the morning!

Charlotte: (These gods and I are just not compatible!)

While thinking about this, Charlotte took advantage of the time when everyone's attention was attracted by the magic circle in the air and jumped out of the dark window to blend into the crowd and meet Xi Qiling.

Xi Qiling looked at the magic circle and said: "Is the thing in hand? Is this the magic circle you saw this morning?"

Charlotte: Got it. It looks the same but much bigger than this morning. Can you stop it?

Xi Qiling: I can’t do that unless I can directly cut off that piece of space like Luo Xiaoyao. But since it’s the same, does that mean a god will appear?

Charlotte: If it's the same as this morning, it's a lot bigger after all.

Xi Qiling: If there is a problem, your armor has been seen by others before and it is not suitable for you to appear. Go and call Luo Yuan.

Charlotte: I see.

After a brief exchange, Charlotte blended into the crowd again to seek help from Luo Yuan who was nearby.

Xi Qiling calmly watched the changes in the magic circle and murmured: Then let me see what happens.

I'm planning to change the publishing time recently. If you have any suggestions, please leave a message, otherwise I'll consider changing it to noon.
