"Guards, in thirty seconds, a four-person intruder team will infiltrate the headquarters office building. Let them in."
"Received."
The security team patrolling outside the headquarters office building suddenly received an order from the head of the security department.
"They're gone."
Papa, hiding in a dark corner, looked at the departing guards and whispered.
"Follow them."
Tenjin Kōsuke gestured. He walked at the front, followed closely by the others. The four believed they were very clever, using the shadows along the wall to avoid the guards' patrols.
They advanced over a hundred meters towards the headquarters office building, and no one discovered them.
"Wait!"
Suddenly, Tenjin Kōsuke raised his hand, and the four stopped simultaneously. Tenjin Kōsuke pointed to the top of the headquarters building's entrance.
"Infrared surveillance cameras!"
The four breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, they found it. Otherwise, they would have been caught off guard.
But they were even more convinced that a place with such strict security measures must harbor unspeakable secrets.
"What do we do?"
Krustie asked.
Tenjin Kōsuke thought for a moment, then pointed to the guards patrolling outside the building. The other three looked and suddenly understood.
"I'll do it."
Krustie's small mouth curved upward. She spread her hands and pressed them to the ground. Dense aura surged from her, gathering in her hands, forming nearly invisible purple threads.
The purple threads, formed by purple aura, snaked like snakes towards the two patrolling guards, silently wrapping around their bodies.
The two guards' eyes suddenly widened. Purple threads wrapped around their throats, blocking their mouths.
"Mmph... mph..."
They tried to grab the purple threads with their hands, but were quickly entangled by a large number of threads, their bodies falling to the ground, and dragged towards a dark corner.
"Mmph... mph..."
The two guards, dragged into the dark corner, saw Tenjin Kōsuke and his three companions. They struggled fiercely, but quickly fainted from lack of oxygen.
"Continue."
Krustie looked at the other two guards, repeating the same trick.
"Hurry up."
Immediately, the four stripped the clothes off the unconscious guards and put them on themselves.
Stripping others' clothes was something Tenjin Kōsuke had done many times as a detective, but for the others, it was a bit awkward.
"This is not a good idea."
Especially for Krustie, who was a woman.
The four quickly changed into the guards' clothes. The clothes fit the other three, but Papa almost forcibly squeezed into his.
Although the guards were 1.9 meters tall, the problem was that Papa was not only tall, but also very fat.
"You really need to lose weight, Papa."
Tenjin Kōsuke looked at Papa, whose belly and ankles were exposed. Especially his feet, the guards' long combat boots couldn't fit him, so he had to continue wearing his oversized hunter boots.
"Heh heh."
Papa awkwardly scratched his head.
But fortunately, the sky was dark tonight, and the park's streetlights weren't bright enough to expose this.
The four dragged the stripped guards into the bushes to hide them. They picked up flashlights and assault rifles, pretending to be patrolling guards, and stepped out of the shadows towards the headquarters office building.
It was already midnight. The lights in the office building had long been completely extinguished.
Pride's office on the top floor had also deliberately been darkened. The entire building was pitch black, with only faint emergency lights illuminated.
"Ah, oh~"
In front of the main entrance, Akutagawa Heiryo looked at the fingerprint lock on the door and opened his mouth.
It turned out that when Tenjin Kōsuke and his three companions arrived at the main entrance, they discovered that the entrance and exit here were equipped with a fingerprint lock. Only with the correct fingerprint could one enter or exit the office building.
"The main entrance is a no-go."
Krustie pouted. As expected, a place guarded so tightly wouldn't be easy to enter.
Tenjin Kōsuke said nothing. He simply turned and walked outside, circling the building and looking up at the glass curtain wall.
"Krustie, use your ability to pull us up."
Krustie rolled her eyes. So, you can't do anything without me, huh?
"Third floor, the window there isn't closed."
Krustie came beside Tenjin Kōsuke and looked towards the third-floor window.
Indeed, some employee must have forgotten to close the window when they left work.
"Swish!"
Immediately, Krustie spread her hands and raised them, firing a large number of purple threads from her arms. The threads climbed along the window and firmly adhered to the floor inside.
Krustie tried pulling it to make sure it was firmly attached, then climbed up the glass curtain wall.
After getting up, she used her ability to wrap around Tenjin Kōsuke and Akutagawa Heiryo, and forcibly pulled them up.
Finally, the three of them together pulled Papa up.
"Where is this?"
The four were in the dark building. They took out their pre-prepared small flashlights from their clothes and shined them around.
Since this was an office building with the lights off, if they used strong flashlights, they would be discovered.
"It seems to be a conference room."
The four illuminated everything inside. Ten stools, a rectangular table. It was a small conference room.
"Over here."
Tenjin Kōsuke pulled open the conference room door, glanced left and right, and then stepped out sideways. The other three followed closely.
Outside the conference room was the employee office area, a large hall capable of accommodating dozens of people, divided into dozens of individual offices.
Each desk had an office computer and a large number of files.
But they only quickly passed through, paying no attention.
What they wanted was definitely not in these files.
Moreover, if they really had to search here, it would take ages, and they might end up finding nothing.
They naturally wouldn't waste time here.
The four arrived on the fourth floor. The fourth floor was also a large office area, not much different from the third floor.
"Let's just go straight to the top floor. Don't big company bosses usually set up their offices on the top floor?"
Akutagawa Heiryo suggested. Tenjin Kōsuke also thought it made sense. Instead of searching floor by floor, it was better to go directly to the top floor, which was the most likely place.
The four, holding small flashlights, entered the stairwell and walked all the way to the top floor of the building.
"Whoa, what a magnificent office."
The four arrived on the top floor, unexpectedly finding that the entire floor was the chairman's office. Looking at the spacious hall and the various valuable decorations in the room, as well as the panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows with their incomparable view, they couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"This guy, he's clearly a hunter like us, but why is the gap so huge?"
Akutagawa Heiryo secretly pouted. He compared himself to Ging Freecss and found that the gap between people could sometimes be even greater than the gap between humans and dogs.
"Oh, a thousand-year-old blue and white porcelain vase."
Krustie, with a flashlight in her mouth, picked up a precious blue and white porcelain vase, carefully caressed its body, and even tapped it with her hand, listening to the crisp echo coming from the vase.
"This is the 'Queen's Painting' from the Nodice Kingdom."
Papa also shined his small flashlight on a naked female human body painting on the wall. The corners of his mouth curved, and a drop of saliva flowed down.
"Stop fooling around."
Tenjin Kōsuke shook his head, signaling them to hurry up.
"Heh heh."
Papa awkwardly scratched his head. The four no longer paid attention to the various valuable collections displayed in the office. They began rummaging through Ging Freecss's office drawers, bookshelves, and other places.
Tenjin Kōsuke quietly walked to the only desk in the office. He first picked up some documents from the file rack and carefully examined them.
Finding they were not important documents, he carefully put them back in their original place.
He pulled out the chair and opened the drawer below. Inside were some contracts that had already been signed and stamped.
Tenjin Kōsuke, out of curiosity, picked one up and looked. Good heavens, they were all contracts with various small nations and corporations, some even industry giants.
"Alas~"
Tenjin Kōsuke sighed alone. He admitted, he was disheartened.
It took him several years to build a small detective agency, while someone else built a multinational corporation in just two or three years. The comparison between people was truly deadly.
He closed the drawer. After spending some time searching all the desk drawers, he didn't find anything useful.
"Then, there's only one last place left."
Tenjin Kōsuke sat back in Ging Freecss's chair, looked at the computer on the desk, and pressed the power button.
Ging Freecss's computer booted up incredibly fast, turning on in less than a second. The password input interface appeared before Tenjin Kōsuke.
"I was already prepared."
Tenjin Kōsuke's lips curved. He had anticipated this situation long ago.
He calmly pulled out a USB flash drive from his pocket, inserted it into the USB port, and after a flurry of operations, he was done in less than thirty seconds.
This kind of boot password was definitely a headache for ordinary people, but for someone who knew a little about computer technology, it was no trouble at all.
But actually, Tenjin Kōsuke didn't know that.
Ging Freecss's computer didn't even need a password to boot. This was deliberately set by Riley at Pride's command, a small gesture to satisfy his vanity.
On Ging Freecss's computer interface, besides the recycle bin and a few folders, the rest was blank.
He moved the mouse, double-clicked a folder, and immediately a large amount of statistical data popped up.
Tenjin Kōsuke rubbed his temples and carefully examined it.
"Hmm?"
After a long while, he seemed to discover an unusual file among the many documents.
[Umbrella-A Group 3 Experiment Test Results]
Tenjin Kōsuke's gaze focused. He slowly opened the file, and immediately a large amount of data popped up, displaying row after row on the computer.
"This is..."
Tenjin Kōsuke's eyeballs moved up and down. The further he looked, the more shocked he became. He quickly browsed through the entire document.
But when he exited the document and clicked on the last one, and saw the data inside, he instantly gasped.
If, before coming, he had only intended to find and rescue Danica and Austin, and incidentally investigate whether Umbrella Corporation was truly conducting human experiments.
Then now, he had discovered a terrifying secret, so terrifying that it was enough to shake the entire world.
Umbrella-A, this new type of Umbrella Corporation antibiotic, was actually derived from the DCM-1 super bacteria.
Or rather, they discovered a new type of bacteria, and Umbrella Corporation's new antibiotic was actually developed from the precursor to DCM-1, the new type of bacteria.
They had known about the super bacteria's existence for a long time, but the outside world was completely unaware of it!
Not only that, they also used this super bacteria for a large number of human experiments, and finally completely determined its therapeutic effect.
At this moment, Tenjin Kōsuke's mind couldn't help but concoct a crazy, world-shaking conspiracy.
Why did Umbrella Corporation develop a new antibiotic as soon as it was founded?
Why did super bacteria appear in the world as soon as the new antibiotic was developed?
Why, as soon as the super bacteria appeared, was Umbrella Corporation immediately able to treat it symptomatically and produce antibiotics that could cure the super bacteria?
Were there such coincidences in the world?
And these coincidences were a series of successive events.
The more he thought, the paler Tenjin Kōsuke's face became.
Umbrella Corporation's darkness might exceed his imagination. Behind this company, a terrifying demon lurked.
"Umbrella..."
Tenjin Kōsuke clicked the mouse to close, and the document disappeared.
He closed his eyes and pondered for a moment.
"Swish!"
Moments later, he suddenly opened them, his expression solemn.
"What's wrong?"
Inside the office, the three who were searching elsewhere all noticed the change in Tenjin Kōsuke's aura.
"Krustie, Akutagawa, Papa."
"This Umbrella Corporation is probably even more terrifying than we imagined."
Tenjin Kōsuke's expression was solemn, his voice low.
"Oh~? Could it be that the V5 is behind this company?"
Akutagawa Heiryo joked humorously.
But when he came to Tenjin Kōsuke and saw the solemn expression on his face, he realized that the matter might be very serious.
"What is this?"
The three stood behind Tenjin Kōsuke's chair. Krustie curiously clicked on the file Tenjin Kōsuke had clicked on the computer. The three then carefully watched.
"Hiss~"
"This... Could it be that this global pandemic was manufactured by Umbrella Corporation?"
The three looked at Tenjin Kōsuke in disbelief, feeling a chill run down their spines.
"I can't be absolutely certain, but I can only say that, given the current situation, there's a high probability."
Tenjin Kōsuke's expression was extremely solemn. He felt that he might have stirred up a hornet's nest, the kind that couldn't be shaken off even if he jumped into water.
"Then we'll copy all this down and give it all to the V5 organization and the Hunter Association."
"At that time, the V5 organization and the Hunter Association will work together, and the truth will soon be investigated."
"Once Umbrella Corporation collapses, won't your name be cleared and your innocence restored?"
Krustie patted her chest, thinking her idea was a win-win.
"If only things were that simple."
Tenjin Kōsuke still wore a solemn expression. He looked at the sky outside the panoramic window.
A half-moon hung in the sky, its clear light illuminating the earth, as if cloaking the earth in a thin layer of pajamas.
But the next moment, large dark clouds enveloped the stars and the half-moon in the sky, and the earth became pitch black.
