After meeting Ms. Succubus, Zhang Heng found the ID called Don't Want to Practice on the forum and got straight to the point. "I need your help with something."
Don't Want to Practice didn't even ask what it was. Instead, she replied with a simple "okay."
The two then chatted privately in the chat room for about fifteen minutes. After that, Zhang Heng booked the earliest flight back to his hometown, paid the parking fee, and drove his Polo out of the parking lot. Without taking a break, he drove all the way to the city where his school was located.
Time was still suspended, and Zhang Heng parked his car downstairs at the Fu Lou headquarters.
Before leaving for Greenland Island, he came here once to take out the Pestilence Bone Bow that he used as collateral for Fu Lou's appraisal. He knew that most of the employees working in Fu Lou were just ordinary people. Only the top floor was open to players, and they could reach it through the VIP elevator on the right side of the lobby.
If everything went as planned, the small auction would be held here in ten hours.
Zhang Heng didn't have the password, and of course, he couldn't take the VIP elevator. So, he first tried the fire exit on the side.
However, when he reached the top floor and pushed open the door, there was another alloy door. There was no keyhole or handle on the outside of this door. In other words, it could only be opened from the inside.
Zhang Heng also considered climbing through the window, but the windows on the top floor were made of bulletproof and tempered double-layered glass. Of course, if Zhang Heng really wanted to enter, two layers of glass wouldn't be able to stop him. However, he just wanted to take a look before the auction started and make some preparations in advance. He didn't want to be discovered by anyone.
Otherwise, if he alerted Fu Lou and they changed the venue at the last minute, his actions tonight would be meaningless.
Zhang Heng thought for a while and turned back to the VIP elevator. When he came in earlier, he noticed that the elevator's control panel didn't only have the top floor button. There was also a button for the basement floor. Zhang Heng tried to press the button for the basement floor, and luck was on his side.
After waiting for about half a second, he didn't need to enter the password, and the elevator began to move down.
When the elevator door opened again, Zhang Heng knew why the elevator had such a floor.
There was nothing special about this place. Basically, it was a utility room and a few warehouses. The things here were all related to ordinary business, and there was nothing that couldn't be seen. The most important thing was that there was a passage that led directly to the alley on the side of the office building. At the exit was an alloy door that could only be opened from the inside.
This was probably to deal with possible sudden attacks. It could only be said that the original location of the Fu Lou was very particular. They had specially left a secret passage so that customers and staff inside could evacuate in case of emergency.
Zhang Heng looked around, then threw a Colt M2000 he obtained from the gang that dealt with Serena behind an old printer. Judging from the dust on it, this printer should not have been moved for a long time. It was perfect for hiding things.
After firing the gun, Zhang Heng did not take the elevator. Instead, he walked down the corridor and came to the alloy door. He opened the door and looked at the alley outside. At this time, it was midnight in the real world, and there was no one in the alley. Only the faint moonlight shone on the ground.
Zhang Heng focused on observing if there was a suitable place to shoot. After that, he took a detour and came to the entrance of the Fu Lou headquarters. He walked in again and came to the VIP elevator.
Zhang Heng did not press the up button. Instead, he reached out and opened the two doors in front of him. At this time, the elevator was still on the basement floor. Zhang Heng began to climb up the dark elevator shaft, all the way to the top floor. Then, he used the same trick, reached out his hand, and pried open the hall door. Finally, he stepped into the heart of Fu Lou.
Zhang Heng ignored the two heavily locked rooms at the end of the corridor. The Fu Lou must have stored some valuable items and cash there. Others might be interested in them, but Zhang Heng only took a quick glance at them. His main goal was to find a room suitable for a small auction.
As the most famous chamber of commerce among the players, the Fu Lou headquarters was naturally well-equipped with all kinds of facilities. There were six meeting rooms, two large and two small. Four meeting rooms were used to receive customers, and the other two were for internal use.
Zhang Heng first eliminated the two internal meeting rooms, leaving four for internal use. First, he looked at the size. The large meeting room could accommodate about 30 people, while the small meeting room could only accommodate up to six people. According to Ding Si, there were already six buyers in the Fu Lou headquarters. So, he could obviously eliminate the small meeting room.
There were two large meeting rooms left, and they were similar in terms of decoration and size. It was still early before the auction, and the Fu Lou headquarters hadn't started to decorate the venue yet. It was difficult to guess which one it would be. Other than that, Zhang Heng also noticed an exhibition hall. By now, all the exhibits had been removed.
In terms of area, it was even bigger than the two conference rooms. In fact, auctions didn't have high requirements for a venue. As long as there was an auction stage in this hall and some chairs, it could be used as an auction room.
Since that was the case, Zhang Heng did not hesitate and checked all three rooms. He then checked the rooms next to them, including the thickness of the walls and whether there were any hidden doors. Finally, he went to the bathroom, wrapped the other M1911 in a plastic bag, and put it under the toilet seat of the first cubicle he entered.
Under normal circumstances, this cubicle was the least used. The last was his Shrouded Sheath.
Since Zhang Heng had already prepared for the worst, he would probably have to rely on his most powerful weapon in battle.
Compared to the pistol, the Shrouded Sheath was slightly larger, making it difficult to hide. Zhang Heng placed it on the ceiling of the exhibition hall. The reason why he placed it here was because he felt that the probability of it being chosen as the auction room was the highest among the three. It was also because this room was between the two meeting rooms.
No matter where Fu Lou put the auction room, he would be able to retrieve the sword as soon as he needed it. Of course, it would be best if nothing happened in the end. Then, he would not have to worry about not getting the sword back. All he needed to do was to sneak back to the auction house after the end of the auction.
Other than that, Zhang Heng also considered installing a bug or pinhole camera, but in the end, he gave up on the idea. With Fu Lou's cautiousness, anything that could release a signal would most likely be discovered. Zhang Heng didn't want to gamble on the probability.
