Chapter 25 Doing bad things requires teamwork
Chapter 25 Doing bad things requires teamwork
When Erii asked to run away from home with her toys, Huo Yuhao thought about it and agreed.
He doesn't have a storage soul tool in this world, so it's very inconvenient for him to carry anything, but in order to keep Erii's emotions in check, he doesn't mind going through a little trouble.
So when Erii said she wanted to drink the orange-flavored beverage from the vending machine, Huo Yuhao took out his money without hesitation.
He also bought himself a can of coffee, a drink that seemed to have a stimulating effect, which Huo Yuhao thought would be useful.
Two cans of drinks rolled off the shelf. Huo Yuhao bent down, took the drinks from the exit, opened the orange-flavored drink, and handed it to Erii.
Erii held the can in both hands, sipping the beverage full of flavoring and coloring, her expression one of complete satisfaction.
This child is so easy to please.
Huo Yuhao smiled, thinking of Wang Dong'er.
I don't know if she can pass the level smoothly, but with Dong'er's strength, it shouldn't be a problem.
What's even more worrying is Lu Mingfei.
We haven't received any notification of the project's failure yet, so they must have let him get away with it by pretending it didn't happen.
After Erii finished her drink, Huo Yuhao led her towards the elevator.
Although we haven't heard any major commotion yet, we estimate that their infiltration will soon be exposed.
Perhaps in Princess Kaguya's algorithm, the trio is not as threatening as the other group of intruders, or perhaps there are not enough people to deal with them for the time being.
But one cannot mistake temporary good fortune for permanent good fortune.
"Eri, do you know where Kaguya-hime's main unit is?" In the elevator, Huo Yuhao used the electronic key in his phone to open another access door and asked softly.
Erii tilted her head, looking puzzled, and wrote in her notebook: What is Princess Kaguya?
Huo Yuhao remained silent.
He hadn't expected that Erii was unaware of the secrets of the Hebi-hachi family.
That makes sense. Why would a weapon need to know so many secrets?
"It's nothing. Let's find Kaguya's mainframe first and blow it up, otherwise we'll be caught soon." Huo Yuhao had no intention of hiding anything from Erii. "If you don't want to, you can leave first."
He paused for a moment, then continued, "If you want to stop me, you can do it now."
Erii stared straight at Huo Yuhao, her expression still indifferent, her eyes pure, as if she were just staring at him in a daze.
But she didn't do anything.
Only after the elevator doors opened and she stepped out did she write in her notebook: Is Princess Kaguya important?
Huo Yuhao nodded: "It's very important. It's a super artificial intelligence. Wherever there are electronic products, they will be monitored by it."
Erii was startled and hurriedly wrote in her notebook: Is Princess Kaguya a surveillance camera?
Huo Yuhao nodded: "That's one way to understand it."
Erii then revealed a murderous expression, looking even more eager to blow up Princess Kaguya than Huo Yuhao.
"Princess Kaguya is very important to the Snake Clan. If she is destroyed, there will be a lot of trouble."
The call center on the 14th floor and the strategy department on the 21st floor are able to operate smoothly because of the support of Kaguya's massive computing power.
Without Princess Kaguya, the Hebi-hachi family's efforts to address yakuza issues across Japan would be delayed or even incomplete.
This has nothing to do with Huo Yuhao, but Huo Yuhao doesn't want to trick a clueless child into destroying his family's important belongings.
Huo Yuhao can't be considered a good person. He didn't feel guilty for long after blowing up Mingdu, but he still has his bottom line.
He can be ruthless when facing enemies, and when dealing with the enemy, even if there are innocent people among them, he will still do what he should do after making a choice.
But that doesn’t mean he would use an innocent child to do things she could have avoided.
Erii hesitated as expected. She frowned slightly before writing: Can it be fixed? Princess Kaguya.
Huo Yuhao shook his head: "I don't know."
Erii was clearly conflicted.
Huo Yuhao raised an eyebrow slightly; this kid wasn't completely clueless.
The elevator door was too conspicuous, so Huo Yuhao pulled Erii's sleeve and led her to a quiet, empty room.
He found a chair for Erii to sit on, then squatted down in front of her, looked directly into her eyes, and asked, "You just want to go out and have fun for a few days, right?"
Erii nodded.
Seeing that she was behaving obediently, Huo Yuhao smiled and said, "Then sit here for a while. I'll take you out to play after I finish my work, and I'll bring you back in a few days, okay?"
Erii shook her head: No, let's go together.
"I'm going to do something bad, I can't take you with me."
Erii blinked, and her eyes seemed to brighten again.
"You don't seem to have done anything wrong. Curious?"
Erii nodded repeatedly.
Huo Yuhao finally couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Eri, good children don't do bad things."
But Erii still indicated that she wanted to follow Huo Yuhao to do bad things.
"Alright, but just this once," Huo Yuhao stood up and earnestly instructed, "We have some conflicts with the Snake Clan, so we had to come here to sabotage Princess Kaguya. But doing bad things is wrong. Unless absolutely necessary, we should be good children, okay?"
Erii opened her mouth as if she was about to say something, but she suddenly closed her mouth, pursed her lips tightly, and her eyes dimmed a little.
"I will find a way to let Erii speak freely," Huo Yuhao said. He didn't know why the little devil insisted on letting him take Erii away, but Erii was obviously very important. Since that was the case, he needed to find a way to solve the hidden dangers of Erii and make her a help. "I will also find a way to let Erii go wherever she wants to play in the future."
Huo Yuhao didn't make any grand promises; he simply said he would try.
But no one had ever said that to her.
No one ever dared to say that she could be freed.
Then the seemingly indifferent little witch revealed a genuine, radiant smile.
So what if it's fake?
Huo Yuhao patted Erii's hair: "I will do my best."
Even if Huo Yuhao is a ruthless killer, he wouldn't deceive a naive child.
Erii nodded emphatically.
"Let's go, let's do something naughty."
The two had just stepped out when they were blocked at the door by a group of enforcement officers.
"The head of the Uesugi family?" The lead researcher looked blank.
Didn't they say that the Uesugi family head's private ward was attacked the day before yesterday, and that the Uesugi family head used his Word of Power again? Although he wasn't greatly disturbed, the production site of his healing potion was destroyed, so the Uesugi family head had to stay in the ward to receive treatment for the past two days?
Which department does that kid belong to? How dare he hold the Uesugi family head's... oh, sleeve? Never mind then.
No way! He dared to touch the sleeve of the Uesugi family head with his lowly, filthy hands!
Where did this audacious guy come from?
Isn't he afraid of being killed by the head of the family?
