Super Detective in the Fictional World

Chapter 1853: A Smooth Operation, and Return to Base

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The metal ant was as gentle as a mosquito.

While it wouldn’t make a person’s skin red and swollen, it would make them lose consciousness.

Inside the fighter plane, White Shadow, who had let down his guard, fell for it.

At that moment, Luke finally started to release a small amount of a hypnosis drug via the ventilation system.

White Shadow was the only one who might be able to detect the drug, which was why Luke dealt with him first.

Coupled with gentle mental fluctuations, everybody was pulled into a trap of hypnosis and hallucinations, and could no longer sense anything wrong around them.

Half an hour later, the plane swiftly descended and the door opened.

With White Shadow in one hand and Dr. Binoche in the other, Luke tossed them out.

Natasha, who had just laid down on a litter, couldn’t help but send a message over the team channel. “Are you sure that won’t kill them?”

Luke replied, “No, someone will take them into the Quinjet.”

In fact, the act of throwing them out had only been to dupe Natasha.

Luke had put the two into Space 2 the moment he tossed them out. Why would he go to the trouble of flying the plane over?

In any case, the female agent had turned into the middle-aged Dr. Binoche, and was now on a litter. It was impossible for her to see what was happening outside.

After that, Luke closed the door and had the hypnotized pilot start flying again.

Sitting down next to the Baroness, he sent another message. “You can take a nap now, my dear Natasha.”

Natalie rolled her eyes and closed them before she fell asleep.

Luke scanned the plane carefully to make sure that nothing was out of place, before he released a small amount of a wake-up agent.

The Baroness and the masked soldiers woke up one after another. They felt like they had just dozed off.

Looking around the plane, the Baroness saw that everything was normal.

She didn’t dwell on it. It was normal for strike teams to take naps on the plane.

Experienced veterans usually only adjusted their mindsets in the last half an hour to 15 minutes of a flight.

If they had to maintain vigilance on a flight, from anywhere between a couple of hours to over ten hours, they would be exhausted even before the start of the battle.

Also, they were returning to the base, so there was no need to be too nervous.

She then looked at White Shadow, who was still sitting in a ‘meditation’ pose. She couldn’t help but curl her lip. What an odd ritual! Get stronger just by sitting around? That sounded ridiculous.

However, White Shadow was a firm believer.

Thus, the plane continued its uneventful journey, and none of the Cobra members suspected anything.

They arrived at the base, got off the plane, and locked Dr. Binoche up

Luke sighed. The month he had spent hanging around outside hadn’t been a waste; otherwise, things wouldn’t have gone smoothly for him as White Shadow.

He told the Baroness that he was going to train, but was stopped. “Let’s report what we gained from this operation to ‘the Doctor’ first. He’s quite interested in Dr. Binoche.”

Luke simply hummed in agreement and followed the Baroness to the research division.

The second in command at the base, ‘the Doctor,’ stayed in the research division and never came out.

This ‘Doctor’ and the research division were the parts that Luke knew the least about.

It was impossible for the Trailblazer drones to follow White Shadow or the Baroness into the research division.

Cobra’s technology wasn’t bad; security setup like metal detection and infrared scans were just the basics.

Not wanting to alert the enemy, Luke had only gotten the Trailblazers to check other places where the surveillance wasn’t as tight.

Naturally, the second in command at the base, the Doctor, didn’t show up in front of the drones.

Of course, that was all before.

Luke couldn’t use drones, but he could use his clone.

There weren’t many women in this base, but there were more than 20 of them, and three could enter the research division.

As long as there was enough time, the Doctor and everything in this base would open their doors to Luke.

Natasha? That wasn’t important.

She wasn’t the real Dr. Binoche; she would rather die than give in.

In Space 2, Luke was also trying to get as much information out of Dr. Binoche as possible.

This couldn’t be considered kidnapping or extortion. He wasn’t asking for details on the tech, but just enough to have a rough idea.

When the time came, he would get Natasha to leak things bit by bit to distract the Doctor.

Thinking that, he and the Baroness entered the first metal door to the lab.

After taking an elevator down 50 meters, the door opened onto a straight passage, at the end of which was another metal door.

Walking to the door, Luke and the Baroness stood inside a bright red circular symbol on the ground – it looked like an abstract image of a snake head wearing glasses.

Two blue light beams shot out from hidden holes on both sides and scanned them from top to bottom. “Identity confirmed: White Shadow. Identity confirmed: Baroness.”

The metal door slid open to reveal a spacious room.

At one glance, Luke was certain that this wasn’t a lab, but more like a central control room or a data center.

If he wasn’t too unlucky, he should be able to get a lot of information on this North Pole base from here.

He wasn’t overly moved, however – he had just said that he wanted to swallow up this base perfectly, so he had to persevere.

Besides, even with all the information here, it was still only half of the base’s total value.

Luke had to admit that he really wanted this huge, underground secret base that had already been operating steadily for more than ten years.

He didn’t have time to do manual labor himself; stealing something that was already available was definitely more cost-effective.

These thoughts only flashed through his mind for a moment before they disappeared.

Now, he was White Shadow, a poker-faced man who rarely showed any emotions.

Since he was already inside, he naturally had to be professional with his cosplay.

It never hurt to be more careful; he didn’t want ‘his’ base to lose value points.

Less than two minutes later, a door opened on one side of the room and a strange man walked in.

He had brown hair and wore a black leather half-mask which covered his face below his eyes.

There was a silver metal tube where the mouth was, which extended down to the neck. There was also a round black lens attached to the mask over the left eye.

“You’re back. Did the mission go smoothly?” the man asked casually.

The Baroness said, “Yes. Dr. Binoche is in our custody. You can interrogate her at any time.”

The masked man waved his hand. “Then that’s all. Anything else?”

After a brief hesitation, the Baroness said, “Let me remind you that it won’t be this easy the next time an expert whom you need help dealing with shows up.”

The masked man stared at her for a few seconds. “That’s not something you need to think about. You can go now.”

The Baroness snorted and left.

Luke met the masked man’s gaze for a second before he turned around and followed her expressionlessly.

Looking at the metal door closing behind them, a mocking expression flashed over the masked man’s face.
