The waiting process was long. Hodney needed to deal with the security guard outside Warren's office and get the key to the room.
I really don’t know how a mere record officer can solve these difficult problems.
There was nothing to do now anyway, so Victor lazily leaned on the chair with his legs crossed, looking at the beautifully crafted sculpture in front of him, observing its flaws.
But at this time, there were many people around who were walking in the same direction, and a commotion broke out unexpectedly.
Victor sensitively noticed the abnormality, so he left the bench and stood up, and saw that almost everyone had gathered outside the Platinum Tower.
"What happened?" He caught a passerby and asked.
The man didn't know clearly, but the colleague next to him replied: "The White Gold Tower has been invaded."
Invasion?
Victor found it unbelievable. He had been lying down in the atrium the whole time, and he hadn't seen anyone invade the Platinum Tower...
"Where is Stanford?" He leaned forward, "Is the intruder still inside? Do you need my help?"
"The minister has already brought people in." A guard replied, "Please stay away from the White Gold Tower. We will guard the exit."
It seemed that Stanford's reaction was quite fast, but Victor felt strange when he looked at the guards. After thinking for a moment, he found out where this strange feeling was.
The Platinum Tower is where the president works. Now that the president is lobbying across the country, most of the important officials are accompanying him. Now there are few people working in the tower. What did the intruder want to do when he entered?
Also, Stanford previously adjusted the weight of security, and a large number of personnel gathered around the Brass Tower to perform security work. In this way, without the President's Platinum Tower, security would become weak.
Could it be that……
Victor noticed something strange. He realized that things were not that simple, so he took a step forward, but was blocked.
"Stand back, sir, which department are you in?"
"Prevention and Suppression Department." Victor responded honestly.
The guard insisted: "You are not even an insider of White Crown, please stay away from here, thank you!"
Being blocked and not allowed to go up, Victor was not helpless, he just couldn't figure out the prisoner's purpose of breaking into the Platinum Tower.
Could it be that the previous series of thefts from the Brass Tower were actually for the Platinum Tower?
Thinking of this, Victor retreated into the crowd of onlookers, then found a place where no one was paying attention, cast a water spell on himself, and took advantage of the opportunity of invisibility to slip into the Platinum Tower.
…
The Platinum Tower is the real presidential palace. The decoration inside is more grand and spacious, but there are very few people. Victor wandered around the lower floors for a long time without seeing anyone.
He used his heavenly eyes to observe the energy in the building, and soon found the way to the higher floors.
The elevator has been locked. It must have been done by people from Stanford to block those who broke into the Platinum Tower.
Victor went up the stairs and saw many staff members in a certain room. There were two guards guarding the outside. It must have been Stanford who had gathered all the staff members left in the building.
Victor did not alert the guard. He observed them with his eyes and left only after finding no seer.
He continued to walk around the building, and suddenly he felt the energy in the corridor in front of him fluctuate. It should be interference from external entities. To put it simply, someone was coming.
Victor cast a water spell on himself again to make himself invisible. As soon as he put down his hand, he heard someone yelling: "Catch him!"
On the stairs in front, a faceless figure rushed down and ran towards the corridor. Behind him were several guards with white crowns.
The guy ran very fast with his legs, and the guards behind him pushed each other a few times before being thrown away.
At the end in front is one of the few windows in the Platinum Tower. It is obvious that the opponent's purpose is to jump from the window on the third or fourth floor!
The three guards chasing him always kept a certain distance from him. They would definitely not be able to catch up with the guy before he jumped out of the window.
At this moment, a hand suddenly appeared out of thin air and reached towards the back of the escaping mysterious man.
Just when Victor's hand was about to touch the other party, the other party seemed to sense his ambush and tilted his head back slightly.
Then, in Victor's eyes, the back of the man in front of him suddenly stooped, and in the blink of an eye the clothes on his body changed into the clothes he was familiar with, and he was caught red-handed.
The prisoner screamed and was pulled by Victor due to the inertia and fell to the ground.
The guards were surprised to see a man appear out of thin air in front of them and subdue the fugitive. They were stunned.
However, Victor's eyes widened and he looked at the "thief" he had caught in disbelief.
"Hodney Skimp? Is that you?"
The recording officer fell to the ground, with his back bent, screaming and talking nonsense, as if he was frightened.
Victor caught him and asked, "Did you break into the Platinum Tower?"
Only then did Hodney straighten his words and defend himself: "What intrusion? Why am I here all of a sudden?"
Hearing this, Victor was obviously stunned.
The three security guards recognized Hodney as soon as they came up.
"Aren't you the Recorder who serves the committee?"
Victor came to his senses and asked Hodney again what had just happened.
Hodney said that he was completely unaware of the situation. As soon as he finished things in Warren's office, he heard the commotion in the White Crown, so he came to the Platinum Tower to look for Victor.
But for some reason, he teleported here all of a sudden, and then was pulled by Victor and fell.
After listening to his description, Victor reacted after a few seconds.
"Is it a thief?"
After he finished speaking, he immediately rushed to the window and looked down. There were a large number of guards and White Crown staff gathered where Hodney had been, but he could not find the intruder who had switched places.
…
Later, when Hodney asked Victor, he told him his thoughts.
"It's a nocturnal thief. He exchanged you, who is about the same weight as him, with himself."
After hearing this, Hodney took a deep breath.
"Thief? Wasn't that girl caught by you last time?" Hodney had obviously known about Zoe for a long time.
Victor did not change the subject, but said: "Maybe there are other people committing crimes at the same time. You know, the twin entanglement that opened that room was divided into two parts."
"There are also nocturnal seers?" Hodney's dull eyes revealed a look of surprise.
In fact, there was one thing that Victor didn't say, and that was that he suspected that the thief he just saw was actually Donnie!
Victor certainly wouldn't have expected it beforehand, and he didn't realize it when it happened, but when he recalled it afterwards, it was very possible that Donnie was the thief.
Because he was originally the third seer of the secret transmission of the night nature... and now he may have become the knower of the fourth secret transmission! After all, that guy spent a lot of means and energy to complete his enlightenment ritual.
In this way, if Donnie counts Zoe, they have two thieves. The girl is only a thief on the surface, serving as a scapegoat. If she had not been caught, would the person who broke into the Platinum Tower today have?
What about being Zoe?
What did they sneak into the Platinum Tower to steal?
