"Why is my bamboo hat missing?"
I usually neglected to take care of it, and now that I'm looking through it, I realize what pain is.
Longxiong searched the inventory thoroughly but still couldn't find his own stock. He was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. Just then, the destroyer Xiao passed by the door.
"Hmm? Senior Longxiong, what are you looking for?"
"Ah, you're just in time. Lend me your cloaking suit."
"......Huh?"
Chapter 1105 What's your name?
The so-called "stealth suit" refers to props that can conceal the body's breath and complete tasks such as evasion and ambush.
It sounds despicable, but this time it's just intelligence gathering, there's nothing "unjust" about it, and it doesn't violate Longxiong's own martial ethics.
The only difficulty is that Longxiong is not very good at hiding.
In fact, on the way back to her room to prepare for the mission, she had doubted herself, not understanding her lord's intention of entrusting the commission to a layman.
But on second thought, I felt motivated. After all, this is a kind of trust, and I must give it my all.
Longxiong himself has an "invisibility suit", a natural and pollution-free raincoat and bamboo hat
Although Feilong once complained that this outfit looked like a farmer planting rice in the fields on a rainy day, she is actually very satisfied with it.
However, the port area is too quiet and is not used on weekdays, so it has become the bottom of the box.
This time I needed it suddenly, but I couldn't find it after searching for a long time. Fortunately, a ninja passing by provided help.
Longxiong held up a hooded white robe and asked, "What is this?"
"This stealth suit I customized is very useful. It can help me hide in the crowd without being noticed by the hawks and dogs!" Xiao, a second-rate ninja, introduced it solemnly.
"Oh... then what is this?"
"Hidden Arrow! It's tied to the arm and shot out by a mechanism. This is the first model. It can still be used and is very commemorative, but..."
"that is..?"
Xiao touched the back of his head, "I just need to cut off my ring finger... This is to match the white robe! Unfortunately, it is too painful, I dare not try..."
Longxiong, who also did not dare to try it, quickly gave up this extremely famous look and turned to check other objects.
Second-rate warrior: "Bamboo?"
Second-rate ninja: "It's a gas exchange device for underwater concealment!"
Second-rate warrior: "Um... vacuum cleaner gloves?"
Second-rate ninja: "It's a replica of the black hole gloves! It can be silently attached to the wall and move!"
Second-rate warrior: "Well, the silent mode is pretty cool. What is this giant tumbler?"
Second-rate ninja: "It's the 'Unbreakable Racoon Dog'. You can get in and pretend to be a tumbler to confuse the enemy!"
Second-rate warrior: "It has so many functions, great! Lend it to me and I'll return it to you later!"
Second-rate ninja: "Okay, senior!"
In broad daylight, the world is bright and clear, the streets are bustling with people, but in the dark, a ghostly figure is quietly moving forward.
"Hmm, Hmm... It smells so good... Wait for me to check the map..."
The warrior, with a gray-black curtain covering his belly, pressed himself against the wall, took out a map of the city, and searched for a long time but couldn't find where he was.
"I bought it from a prop store... so it should be correct."
“Is it expired?”
"Well... there's nothing we can do. Times have really changed. We can only rely on new maps to guide us."
As she spoke, she looked around for a while, then stealthily turned on her phone, opened an app, entered her destination, clicked on the navigation
[It's time to set off. Let's go. The whole journey is six hundred—]
"Hiss!"
The warrior was shocked and hurriedly pressed the modern equipment to his chest, trying to block the sound-making part so as not to attract the attention of others.
[10 meters, about minutes, follow the current road one by one]
The upper and lower loudspeakers broadcast the route without any obstruction, forcing her to turn off the screen and hide behind the curtain.
[Dwarf Map continues to guide you~]
She lifted a corner of the black curtain and made sure that the pedestrians outside the alley had not noticed this. The warrior put away his phone in disappointment and looked helplessly at both sides of the alley.
"I usually take the main road, but today I suddenly took the small road. How come I got lost..."
"Um... Oh, by the way, didn't Akatsuki mention a concealment suit..."
So before long, a "hidden person" wearing a long robe and a hood on his head appeared on the busy street in the hot sun.
With the support of the "Brotherhood", the short "assassin" attracted the attention of most pedestrians, and "sneaked" towards his destination with a turning back rate of up to 90%.
It took him more than ten minutes to walk to the end of the street. After much difficulty, he squeezed through the queue of ship girls who were buying equipment. Longxiong looked up and was stunned.
"Why, why didn't you open the door...?"
"Hmm? Are you here to eat?" The gray-haired girl standing in front of the door with headphones on blinked, "We are closed today? We are undergoing a large-scale renovation."
"Rectification? That's my mission..."
"Task?"
Longxiong hurriedly pulled down the brim of her hat. The oversized clothes almost made her look like a mummy. "Ahem, nothing."
The gray-haired girl glanced at her phone. "Is there anything you want to know? I just happened to be here for a while, maybe I can help you?"
Longxiong, who was too obsessed with samurai and couldn't handle any conspiracy, was overjoyed. He dragged the man to a corner, took off his hood and started a friendly conversation with him.
"I am Longxiong, who are you?"
"Oh, my name is Denver, what do you want to ask?"
“Who is the owner of this store?”
"Her name is St. Louis. She is a super rich person. She wants to start a clothing brand, the kind that shipgirls can wear. Her designs have already been put into production. All she needs is a spokesperson."
Long Xiangting looked at her in surprise, "You know so much? Then tell me, is there any conspiracy behind this cooperation?"
"No." Denver pinched his ear, "Because the chief executive doesn't accept unofficial business orders, she is afraid of being rejected, so she can only start from the side."
Long Xiang really didn't know much about this matter. She only knew that her master didn't have much work to do and was quite idle every day.
If it is because you don't take business orders or do social activities, then it does make sense to take a roundabout route to open a restaurant.
"So what exactly does it take to bring salt?"
"Well... I can just put on the clothes I designed and take some photos, right? It's not very difficult, just stand there, and it's not a frequent job, just once or twice a month."
Longxiong was even more confused after hearing this. It seemed like a business that would make a lot of money without any investment. Why would his lord not agree to it?
After thinking it over, she still had no clue, so she simply returned to the task itself.
"Isn't there someone in charge of KanColle's costume changes? How did that boss manage to open his own shop?"
“Because I have money.”
Something seems to be wrong, but I can't really find the fault.
"Hmm...what else...Oh, by the way, besides the boss, what are the identities of the other people who came here to gather intelligence?"
Denver was embarrassed. "That guy named Denver is an unemployed vagrant who runs around everywhere every day, dreaming of being a hero who is willing to help others."
"Shangri-La is a famous photographer who specializes in providing pictures for popular science magazines. He mainly takes pictures of insects, flowers and birds, fossils, etc. He is said to be very good at controlling details."
"Bunker Hill is a freelancer who mainly writes reviews of various games and also makes some strategy videos. He has quite a lot of fans."
"The boss's sister, Honolulu, is the mascot, and the store manager, Empire... I'm not sure either. I heard he's a novelist? I just don't know his pen name."
Longxiong took it to heart and shook hands with Denver with great gratitude. "Thank you very much. My mission was successfully completed... By the way, what was your name?"
"Denver."
"......Um?"
"Um!"
Chapter 1106 Who is it! Who is it!
After watching the confused warrior leave, Denver finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Ha... Boss, is it okay for me to say this?"
A female voice came from the headset: [No problem, the store is decorated
"I have contacted the relevant team for the design. If it is urgent, a plan can be produced tonight, and construction will begin tomorrow morning after it is confirmed."
【very good. 】
Denver looked back at the closed sign on the door and said, "Uh... they've all gone home, so can I have a day off?"
[Sorry, probably not.]
"Ah? Why? Didn't the person you asked me to receive leave? He also answered all the questions. Is there anything else he needs to do?"
[If it was another ship girl who came, you could indeed enter free time, but it happened that someone who knew nothing came. ]
"Uh... I don't understand. Didn't you say that no matter who comes, they should recite this answer?"
[Yes, but what you need to do after finishing the course is also different. ]
Denver didn't quite understand, but she had a general idea of the situation, which was that she couldn't leave for a while and had to stay here and wait.
So she pulled out a small stool from her space, spread it out, and sat outside the closed Mihu restaurant, resting her chin on her hand to get to the bottom of the matter.
"Boss, you have to teach me how to answer it later. If I hang up and call back, I'll be exposed. Why don't you just not hang up? And answer my questions, I'm really curious!"
[Hmm? Hehe… Sure, go ahead and ask.]
"That is... what do you mean by 'someone who knows nothing comes'? Would the situation be different if the person who comes is different?"
[Of course, if the person who came was a smart person like Hood or Xianghe, it would mean that she was not very willing to cooperate with Xiang and just wanted to try to ask about the situation.]
[They won't ask you overly sensitive questions because they will find out for themselves later or ask someone to investigate for them.]
[They will only talk to you about their experiences and share interesting things with you in order to arouse your desire to talk and thus infer answers that are most likely to be true.]
[So I asked you not to hide your previous occupation, because it is easy to check. ]
[Besides, whether it is coming up with a lie on the spot or making up a plan in advance, being too decisive or too hesitant is a flaw, and I don't want to lose points in this regard. ]
Denver reluctantly understood, thought for a moment and asked again, "What about Longxiong?"
[She has a straightforward personality and advocates Bushido, but she was entrusted with the task of undercover investigation, which is so strange.]
[She only knows a rough outline of the matter, and was disorganized when she asked questions, so it is possible that she touched on sensitive topics.]
[As I just said, the market is monopolized by the government. How did I, as a ship girl, independently establish a brand?]
"Hmm... I know without even thinking that the answer 'rich' is definitely a lie." Denver started to eat Pocky.
The female voice in the headset gave a positive answer: [Yes, it is fake, but they also know it is fake. ]
"Won't that reduce your points? I thought you would just tell the truth, so that my curiosity can be satisfied."
[If I tell the truth directly, that would be a minus point. ]
[If they believed it, they would think that I was not trustworthy for handing over my trump card so easily, and they would naturally not let me get close to Commander Su.]
[If they don't believe it, and after spending time investigating, they find that the result is indeed true, then in their opinion, I must be hiding something bigger unknown.]
So I gave an obviously wrong answer, and they will come back.
Denver was stunned for a while, then sighed in a low voice, "...I think I understand. I feel like I'm growing a brain."
[Hehe…Any other questions?]
"Yes, why don't they check it themselves? The chief... has a lot of privileges, right?"
[Taking the initiative to research means passively accepting my unknowns and spending energy on them. In the future, when I negotiate with the researched information, I will inevitably be at a disadvantage.]
