Li Yao was quite busy for the whole day.
After slipping away from the backdoor of the fast food restaurant, he spent an hour in a game room that boasted a fully-enclosed game capsule like a real middle school student, where he considered calmly how he should go to the capital city.
The most convenient way to travel from a border town to the capital city was naturally to put on the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit and fly over.
With his current Cultivation, he would only need to rest twice on the way. He would certainly be able to reach the destination in one day and one night.
However, the inland was not like the Grand Desolate Plateau. It was densely populated, and there were a lot of sects. The air defense arrays of the Union Army and the spies of the Secret Sword Bureau were everywhere.
The Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit right now had adopted tremendous biochemical materials. It would release incessant demonic energy when it was activated. He looked like a great demon in the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit. If the air defense arrays did not shoot him down, it would be a waste of the 'war special tax' that the taxpayers paid every year.
Also, Li Yao believed that Guo Chunfeng's subordinates must be looking for traces behind him. Once they caught up with him and a fierce battle broke out, he would not even have a chance to explain himself.
Since a large gathering of millions of people was going to be held in the capital city, the Speaker, the Chief of the General Staff, and the leaders of the major sects would all show up. The defense must be unprecedentedly tight. It was almost impossible to break in and meet the Speaker without hurting the innocent.
Then, what if I take the civil transportation to the capital city legally as an ordinary person?
Li Yao sorted through the overall plan in thirty minutes and left the game cabin.
Before he left, he bumped into a young man who had just walked into the game cabin and stole the guy's wallet.
He pinched his fingers and stole the young man's ID card stealthily. But he did not touch the cash or the ATM card inside. He simply tossed the wallet at the door of the game cabin.
Very soon, he heard the boss of the game cabin shout, "Whose wallet is it?"
He made sure that the young man had picked up the wallet. After making sure that he did not make a fuss, he found a public toilet. He changed his face and pretended to be the young man.
He bought two paper versions of the transportation route map of the entire federation's civil transport ships and the transportation map of the crystal train with cash at a newsstand. Then, he found a shabby small hotel and used the young man's ID card to book a room, before he concentrated on studying it.
An hour later, Li Yao confirmed the route to the capital city.
At half past one in the afternoon, all the banks in the city were open for business. Li Yao was lurking in front of a branch of the Federation Commercial Bank. He waited patiently.
The reason why he chose the bank was because the people who went to the bank to do business would bring their own ID cards.
Li Yao used half an hour to choose two prey. Their figures and appearances were similar to his. One was a middle-aged man in his seventies or eighties, and the other was a young man in his twenties or thirties.
Both of them were dressed fashionably and looked like people who could afford a long-distance trip.
Li Yao recorded their facial expressions and their walking posture with his crystal cameras before he brushed past them. He stuck an eavesdropping chip to their collars and collected their voiceprint information.
Then, he stole their ID cards.
He pretended to be a middle-aged man first. He came to the West Railway Station of North Tranquility City and bought a ticket to the capital city for the next morning with cash with the middle-aged man's ID card.
The hundred-day memorial ceremony and the announcement of Burning Prairie were both exciting events in the Federation. Many citizens of North Tranquility City wanted to attend them. The ticket office was bustling with people.
Thankfully, the authorities had foreseen the situation. A lot of carriers and express trains had been added to the major towns in the Federation.
Even so, Li Yao did not get a ticket in his haste. She still didn't manage to get a seat ticket. She only managed to get a standing ticket without a seat.
Li Yao was not bothered. Holding the ticket in his pocket, he avoided the surveillance cameras and changed his appearance in the toilet of an express hotel outside of the station. Then, he returned to the ticket office and bought another standing ticket for a later crystal train with the other young man's ID card.
It took him forty-five minutes to finish everything.
He returned to the bank where the two prey had done their business and tossed their ID cards to a corner.
When the two prey discovered that their ID cards were missing, they would certainly have returned to the bank to look for them because their wallets were still with them. They had only taken out their ID cards when they were doing business in the bank. Where else could they be if not in the bank?
As long as they found their ID cards, they would not be suspicious.
Even if they were, it would not affect the big picture. They were not Li Yao's focus.
After that, Li Yao took a long detour in the downtown area and went to the branch of another 'North Tranquility Development Bank', where he found his third prey.
She was his real target. She was a woman in her thirties with heavy makeup and a rather thick body.
While she was doing her business, Li Yao secretly glanced at her ID card, only to discover that the picture on the ID card did not look like her at all.
Li Yao did exactly what he did. After stealing the woman's ID card, he went to the ticket office of the 'East Station of North Tranquility City' and bought a ticket for 11: 30 p.m. the next day with cash.
But he was not going to the capital city but to 'Green Plateau City', another big city two hundred and thirty kilometers away from the capital city.
Then, instead of throwing the woman's ID card back to the bank, he returned to the hotel.
When he left the East Station, he looted a random wallet from a passenger and emptied the money, the ATM card, and the ID card, before he tossed the empty wallet into the bushes outside of the East Station.
It was a very common case of theft in the station. It happened dozens of times every day and barely raised any suspicion.
After he returned to the hotel, Li Yao took out the two ID cards and the magical equipment of refining and began to modify them.
Theoretically speaking, the 'Citizen ID Card of the Xing Yao Federation' was a piece of very precise magical equipment, too. Hundreds of spiritual stripes had been carved on the surface of the ID card, and chips that stored a lot of personal information had been embedded inside.
With Li Yao's expertise in refining, it was not a problem for him to fabricate the shell of an ID card with his supersonic hands.
The problem was the information in the chips inside the ID card. They were all connected to the Federation. Without the help of a crystal processor specialist, it was impossible for him to fabricate the ID card.
Therefore … His solution was to fabricate the ID card of a stranger. He would forge the ID card of the thick woman and keep the real ID card of the thick woman in his own body.
Since the core of the ID card was not involved but only the external modification, Li Yao finished the work very soon and threw the forged ID card back to the bank before it closed.
He knew that the bank would certainly perform a thorough cleaning and examination after it closed. By then, the forged ID card would be discovered, and the thick woman who lost her ID card would be notified according to the information left on the surface of the ID card.
As for the chips inside the ID card, they would only be scanned when she was doing important business, staying in a hotel, or taking a long-distance vehicle.
Li Yao believed that the thick woman would not discover that her ID card had been switched in only one day.
Even if she did, the police of North Tranquility City would not be able to trace it back to him so quickly.
He would be discovered two or three days later. It did not matter anymore.
After enjoying a bowl of noodles and eggs in the noodle shop next to the hotel, Li Yao appeared in the west railway station of North Tranquility City again.
This time, he came to the exit of the station. He was waiting for the arrival of the crystal train that originated from the capital city and observing the passengers patiently.
In the middle of the night, he locked onto three targets again. By eavesdropping on their conversations and checking their belongings, he confirmed that they were all citizens of the capital city who were on a business trip to North Tranquility City. They had bought return tickets and would be back in one or two days.
It meant that seven days later. They should all be in the capital city when the hundred-day memorial ceremony was held.
Li Yao retrieved the voiceprints, fingerprints, facial expressions, personal files, and other information of the three prey. When he returned to the hotel, it was already late at night.
Then … He carried out the disguise skills that he had learned from Fengyu Zhong and Jin Xinyue. Finally, he prepared six sets of voiceprints, fingerprints, and identity information before sunrise.
Right now, he could pretend to be six ordinary people of different identities at will. Three were citizens of North Tranquility City, and three were citizens of the capital city.
At half past seven in the morning, Li Yao passed through the gate and entered the platform of the first crystal train with the first disguised identity.
According to the safety regulations of the Xing Yao Federation, one had to show their ID card when they bought the ticket, and they only needed to show their ticket when they entered the station.
However, after the crystal train started moving, it was possible that he would run into a random inspection.
However, the train was too crowded. Every carriage was so packed that not even a needle could fit in. Li Yao wondered how the random inspection would be carried out.
It did not matter how it would be carried out because he did not intend to take the train at all.
After wandering around the platform for a while, he performed his ghost-like footwork and jumped out of the station, avoiding all the surveillance cameras.
At nine o 'clock in the morning, in a small supermarket far away from the station, Li Yao dialed the service channel of a luxury hotel in the capital city through the public broadcast rune arrays of the supermarket.
"Hello, how can I help you?"
A sweet voice came over from the other side.
"Hello. I saw the advertisement for your wedding banquet on the Internet. It's the 'Colorful Golden Lobster Banquet' that costs 18,880 yuan per table. I'd like to ask if the lobsters are guaranteed to be fresh. My son is going to get married on National Day. My daughter-in-law is from the seaside. She can tell whether or not the lobsters are fresh after she eats them. "
Li Yao replied coarsely.
"Sir, please rest assured. The seafood banquet of the Junhao Hotel is made of the fresh seafood that was delivered to the capital city from the East Seagull Port in the morning. It is guaranteed that the seafood will be served in no more than twelve hours. They are also preserved with the most advanced technology of instant freezing. After they are thawed, all the seafood will be alive and kicking. If you are interested, why don't you leave your contact information and ask the manager of our catering department to introduce it to you in person?"
The voice on the other side was even sweeter.
"Okay. Let me see."
Li Yao cut off the communication rudely. He glanced at the time. It was 9: 05.
At 9: 55, he boarded the second crystal train with a second fake identity. This time, he jumped out of the window of the toilet and left the West Station for the East Station for the second time.
In the East Station, he boarded the third train to Green Plateau City under the identity of a muscular woman in heavy makeup.
When the train slowly floated under the boost of the anti-gravity rune arrays and rushed forward along the rune crystal rail, he did not get off but simply drifted in the crowded crowd.
Below the makeup that had been ruined by his sweat was a smile of both confidence and provocation.
