The Incubus System Chapter 470. Ethan's First Secret Mission II
Servants' PoV
05. 30 AM
Just as Ethan had instructed, Maria and Yuffy exited the alley after making sure no one saw them. An unbranded cup of coffee in their hands, as if they had just walked out of a coffee shop a few blocks from here.
Instead of elegant clothes, a new style of gym shirt covered their bodies and a baseball cap with a certain logo on their head. Those outfits should be this city's branded clothes and have a certain effect on the users.
But, since they only used their Demon's Clothes, it didn't have any effect. It was simply the same when a human wore fake branded clothes. Luckily, no one could tell the real thing from the fake until they check the tag's authenticity.
As they chatted, they walked casually to their positions near the red light. With a little sweat on their bodies, they gave the impression as if they had just finished their morning run.
Every now and then, they would stop and show each other their phone screens and laugh. But once they arrived at their targeted location, they nimbly sneaked into the alley, climbed up to the rooftop, and waited there.
On the other hand, Luna was also on top of the building near the intersection, watching her surroundings carefully and making sure no one was watching them.
As the time showed 05.35 AM, Ivy and Foxy left the alley. Instead of gym clothes, they wore stylish office workers' clothes. Their pace was also slightly faster. Occasionally they would talk to each other like two young executives preparing for their meeting.
Just like Maria's team, once they arrived at their position, they sneaked near the alley and climbed up a building near them.
All of them were in their positions, their eyes fixed on the intersection. Their hearts were pounding wildly in tension since this was their first mission and they couldn't fail. As simple as it looked, a small mistake could ruin this whole plan and break their cover.
Their eyes were fixed on their targets. Those were the CCTVs' blindspots and the CCTVs themselves. They had to minimize the evidence. At least, if they had to blend with the crowd, no CCTVs were recording their faces.
The time showed 05.40 AM. Without a word, they unleashed their ranged skills and attacked the CCTVs simultaneously.
- BOOM! - BOOM! - BOOM! - BOOM!
A loud bang sounded four times. Thick smoke soared into the sky, which was followed by frantic screams.
They quickly moved down the buildings, entered the alley, and put on their confused faces.
"What is it? An illegal battle?" screamed one of the demons between coughs. It was the first guess if there was an explosion in the middle of the city. Battles between demons were common in the dark dimension so they provided a lot of battle arenas in every city. A fight that took place outside the battle arena was considered an illegal battle and it was a serious offense.
But as the smoke cleared, the empty streets without any fighters told them something else.
"It's a random attack..." said one of the demons breaking the silence. Which meant there was only one thing...
"The city is under attack!" assumed another demon. That shout was enough to make all the demons retreat from there as soon as possible, according to the procedure. Taking advantage of it, they quickly fled along with the crowd to another place.
Now, their plan depended only on Ethan...
Ethan's PoV
- BOOM!
The first loud booming echoed, a sign that they had started our plan. Without wasting time, I used my Teleportation skill towards the city hall rooftop and kicked the door to enter before the last explosion sounded. That way, the sound of the explosion would hide my kick's noise.
Quickly, I entered the building and descended the stairs. As I expected, the explosion startled the guards and messed up their concentration. They were trying to find out where the explosion came from and make sure it wasn't an attack rather than putting their attention on this building.
As my ears could pick up on the sound of footsteps and noise, I stopped my steps and pressed my back against the wall. A second later, my eyes were able to catch several staff running down the corridor. They rushed out to find out what had happened. Luckily, their eyes were fixed on the row of windows on the other side, not on me. In addition, since I covered my Demonic Aura completely, they didn't notice me either.
After they were past me, I quickly used my Demon's Clothes skill and changed the guard uniform into a staff outfit, just like them. Then I used that opportunity to go in the opposite direction. Simply, I pretended to be a staff member who had to pick something important in a hurry.
Yeah, even though I was only pretending, I had to convince them that what I did was a real thing and showed that the clues were the result of my carelessness. Not because I left it on purpose.
Quickly, I walked down the corridor and turned my gaze the other way as soon as I noticed the CCTVs. Sometimes I hid behind doors or walls to avoid the passing guards. If it was just the staff, I usually turned my face the other way and walked past them.
I couldn't wear sunglasses since they were too flashy. The staff would realize I was an intruder. Even if it was not my real face, I had to pretend it was a real one.
A few minutes later, my sight caught a door that looked nicer than the others. From the door sign, I was pretty sure this room belonged to an important person. So I decided to check it out.
After making sure no one was around, I pressed the door handle and pushed the door. Unfortunately, it was locked. So I simply used my Telekinesis to open it and quickly sneaked in.
