When system cheat becomes rampant!-Chapter 412 - 304: Powerful Defense!

The night was deep.

A bright glow spilled over a building that was six stories high and shaped like a triangular ring. White light shone on the plain gray tiles, illuminating the entire building with clarity.

Each tile exuded a solemn and majestic aura, under which lay an exceptionally strong defense capability. Various powerful protective measures intricately intertwined, blocking even a fly from entering.

"Patrolling every day seems completely unnecessary."

In the dimly lit corridor, where one could barely see their hand in front of them, a man in a blue Union work uniform adjusted his glasses as he walked slowly with another person.

The corridor was unlit, pitch black; ordinary people would be as good as blind walking here.

But the man walked effortlessly in the dark, deftly avoiding a trash bin ahead as if the darkness meant nothing to him.

Whether the lights were on or not made no real difference to him.

Because he was wearing glasses!

The glasses were ordinary-looking, with gray frames and somewhat curved lenses. From his point of view, the corridor was brightly lit.

These were special Union glasses designed for night patrol security personnel. The corridor lights above were made of night vision-capable system materials, and only by wearing special glasses could one see the lights which were no different from daylight.

That is to say, if petty thieves came here, they would see the building as pitch dark, but to the guards, it was brightly lit!

The glasses also had identity recognition; except for registered Union personnel, wearing the glasses would be futile for anyone not registered.

No matter what invisibility, shapeshifting, disguise, or spatial jumping abilities the petty thieves had, all would fail in this building!

UR products are guaranteed quality!

"Just focus on our work," the other security guard, who appeared to be in his fifties and more experienced, looked serious.

Though both were Union security guards.

They were both S-level Meridian Opening stage experts!

The older security guard was named Sun Zhong, whose cultivation had even reached the late stages of Meridian Opening!

[Host: Sun Zhong]

[S-level, Patrol the World System]

[Stage: Late Meridian Opening]

He was originally a border guard, but due to personal reasons, he returned here to become the head of the personnel files security team.

Dont underestimate the head of the personnel files security team position; the power it held was tremendous. If he needed to investigate someone for security reasons, even SSRs had to cooperate!

So usually, he didn’t need to curry favor with higher-level Awakeners; he just needed to do his job well, and this job also brought him substantial system points.

He patrolled here all year round because the work was simple, yet the system points he earned were very substantial. Each patrol could earn him several hundred system points.

His younger partner was named Zhou Guan, who had recently graduated from college.

[Host: Zhou Guan]

[S-level, Teamwork System]

[Stage: Early Meridian Opening]

Zhou Guan was not a graduate of an elite university but from an ordinary one. Coming out of an ordinary college with an S-level, he didn’t have much advantage, so he chose to start from the grassroots.

For him, as long as he could work with someone, he could earn system points. Thus, patrolling with Sun Zhong also counted as performing system tasks.

In the Union, even a security guard belonged to the Union system, enjoying the same benefits as other Union employees, which made the position quite respectable.

It could be said that not just anyone could become a Union employee, even as a security guard.

"I don’t think anyone would dare make trouble here. Actually, we could go for a drink together," Zhou Guan, full of youthful vigor, seemed more conversational and for him, patrolling was not important; he just needed company.

"Let’s talk about it after work."

Sun Zhong began patrolling from the front door of the building, while Zhou Guan was indifferent, but Sun had to comply, as the nightly system points were essential.

As the two passed the building’s side door, Zhou Guan glanced at the door and laughed, "Who would think that the door before us isn’t really a door?"

It was an advanced illusion technique from SSR; it camouflaged the walls and door, making the exterior appear as a door, but actually, anyone trying to unlock it would trigger a barrage of attacks, capturing the target directly to the interrogation room.

They didn’t use the back door but walked directly towards a wall, seemingly about to crash into it.

Hum!

A slight ripple spread out and where there was originally a wall, a door now appeared.

"Every time, I find these defense measures fascinating. Who would think that the wall is the door, and the door is just a wall?" Zhou Guan couldn’t help but look back at the door after entering the building.

Indeed magical.

Even Xiang Beifei, who was following behind Zhou Guan and Sun Zhong, admitted it.

The defenses here are incredibly strong!

Although there are no people at night, countless UR-level masters had set up layers of protection here. These system capabilities are by no means exaggerated; they would identify any intruder who tries to sneak in, immediately upon entry.

Even Xiang Beifei was certain that the number of petty thieves who could stealthily sneak into this place were few and far between!

"Woof!"

Xiaohei barked sternly, indicating his agreement.

Unfortunately, the two of them happened to be among those "few".

Wu Wen stood right beside Xiang Beifei, his face full of astonishment!

Zhou Guan and Sun Zhong, equipped with ultra-glasses made by System Awakeners, could see through all disguises. Virtually no System Awakener could hide from them!

But the one person they couldn’t see was Xiang Beifei.

Ordinary petty thieves would be completely blind here without glasses.

But here, with glasses, Zhou Guan and Sun Zhong were still blind when it came to seeing Xiang Beifei!

"They can’t see us?" Wu Wen was shocked.

"They aren’t looking closely." Xiang Beifei said.

Xiaohei had also extended his ability to Wu Wen, essentially assimilating him.

Wu Wen was truly shocked in his heart!

He was part of the alliance, and he knew better than anyone how formidable their methods were!

One could say this was one of the safest places in the whole alliance!

The only place safer than here was the alliance headquarters, the building perennially guarded by UR Awakeners.

But Xiang Beifei actually had a way to hide from two S-class guards!

Honestly, being an S-class Awakener himself, that guard captain Sun Zhong even had authority higher than his, the receptionist, but late Meridian Opening Sun Zhong hadn’t detected Xiang Beifei?

"Boss, how did you manage that?" Wu Wen marveled repeatedly.

"No more questions, tell yourself, tonight you want to take a stroll through the archives room." Xiang Beifei said.

Wu Wen secretly sweated; he had never dared to casually wander into the main archive room before—if discovered, he would be captured and severely interrogated.

But every word from Xiang Beifei felt truthful and changed his mind.

"I want to take a stroll through the main archives room." Wu Wen said to himself.

Xiang Beifei had already made a round inside the building during the day and had not found where the archives room was hidden. There were too many rooms here, various offices intertwining and shuttling, and there was no floor plan available.

He could see any system’s defenses, but the issue was that the entire building was full of various powerful system defense fluctuations interfering with each other; everywhere was special, and it was impossible for him to search each room one by one.

The alliance had evidently put a lot of effort into the archives room, not simply placing a sign outside some room door.

Luckily, Wu Wen knew the way, though he couldn’t enter, he knew its location.

The special lighting in the hallway was invisible without glasses, Xiang Beifei could see them, so in his eyes, the entire building was glittering.

Zhou Guan and Sun Zhong passed through the first-floor service hall, then headed upstairs to the second floor. The second floor had a meeting reception room, Sun Zhong even specifically walked inside and changed around it.

Meanwhile, Xiang Beifei and Wu Wen continued forward and soon turned up to the third floor.

The third floor was lined with various departments including talent planning, talent allocation, talent monitoring, and so on, from N-level to S-level, practically every level of Awakener had an independent office.

"I want to take a stroll by the main control room’s entrance." Wu Wen kept convincing himself.

They walked through a long hallway and turned two corners, soon stopping in front of a black wooden door.

He opened the door, and the two walked in, but there was only an empty room inside, nothing else.

"There’s no way to go forward anymore, this is the entrance, but there’s no way to get in." Wu Wen said.

"Have you entered before?" Xiang Beifei asked.

Wu Wen nodded slightly: "I’ve entered twice, and almost got lost, it was like a maze. The last time an UR leader who took me in mentioned, this place is defended by seventy-seven maze defenses, plus eighty-one UR-level system guardians, and you have to pass through nineteen dimensional system spaces. Only those holding the alliance’s key can move freely, people like us entering might get lost in the vortex of different spaces! More than ten years ago, it’s said that an SSR-level person broke in here alone."

"And then?"

"He never came back up to now." Wu Wen said solemnly.

"Even SSR got lost?" Xiang Beifei nodded slightly.

"Yes, at the time his cultivation was very high, and after hearing about the defenses here, he wanted to challenge himself and sneaked in secretly, only to vanish without a trace." Wu Wen sighed.

"Didn’t the UR-level big shots try to retrieve him?" Xiang Beifei asked.

"That’s exactly the problem, the vortex in that different space is too mysterious, and the UR Awakener who laid out this different space vortex has also been out of contact. No one but him has a way to retrieve that SSR. Anyone, without the right guidance, including other UR Awakeners, once they fall into that space, it is almost impossible to come out!"
