Light and Night: Across Two Worlds

Chapter 16: Infiltrate

Prince White toured Pullau Villa and found nothing interesting. Aya took him around to several rooms on the ground floor, first floor, and the forest around the Villa. The ground floor had several public facilities such as ballrooms, medical rooms, meeting rooms, fitness rooms, indoor pools, saunas, salons, libraries, mini theater movies, and lounges and reception desks. The kitchen and laundry areas were also on the ground floor. There was also a food supply warehouse, equipment warehouse, garage, and hangar in the outside area. There was an artificial labyrinth in the gardens and a beautiful park for walking, picnics, garden parties, outbound games, or exercising outside. The forest around the Villa was very suitable for doing physical activities.

The first floor was filled with guest rooms on the right-wing and staff rooms on the left-wing. Alex and Aya had rooms on the left wing with staff when guests visit. Alex’s office was also located on the first floor. But Alex and Aya's activities were actually on the 4th and 5th floor. The second floor was also filled with guest rooms. Guests were allowed to be on the ground floor to the 2nd floor. Sometimes they were invited to the third floor. The fourth & fifth floors were designated as private areas that only certain people could enter.

The third and fourth floors were several experimental room facilities conducted by Alex, including several training rooms. Aya's study room was located on the third floor. Alex's workspace was on the 3rd floor to the 5th floor. Alex's room and Aya's room were on the 4th floor. The fifth floor had a closed experimental facilities room. Aya couldn’t enter that. No one knew that this building still had five secret floors above and a hidden basement under the ground floor.

It was really boring. Everything looked ordinary. Alex ignored White completely. He didn't show up at all after greeting White. Only Aya accompanied White to fill this day.

As a preliminary experiment, White secretly tried to attach a mini surveillance camera to one of the paintings on the corridor wall. Suddenly there was an alarm in the corridor area, and Orange, as a digital assistant White immediately appeared and warned to pull out the surveillance camera he had just taped. Aya pulled White's surveillance camera and returned it to him.

"It's useless. Security in this house is at a very high level. But you can try as you wish," said Aya.

White took his surveillance camera irritably. Feeling unsatisfied, White tried several times in different places, and the results were in vain. Security detectors could always identify the presence of foreign surveillance cameras. Aya just watched, occasionally smiled. White felt embarrassed and upset, but he had not given up.

In the night, White slipped out of the room and sneaked toward Alex's office. He left the digital watch controller in his room. That way, White felt he could act more freely. There must be Alex's secrets that he could find to be used as weapons.

There was no one in the corridor. All lights had been turned off. Room cleaning robots were also in the charging station in sleep mode. Only the sound of the Air Conditioner filled the corridor. White had studied the security scan system to unlock the door of Alex’s office. He realized that Aya had access to enter Alex's office. Secretly, this afternoon, White took a picture of Aya from top to bottom and then recorded it into his portable holographic projector.

In front of Alex's study room, White turned on his portable hologram projector and displayed Aya's picture. The security machine in front of Alex's office verified Aya’s hologram and unlocked the door. White smiled happily. He entered and turned on the computer on Alex's desk. The computer asked for the login id and password in it. White put his flash disk to start breaking passwords. In less than one minute, the computer password was successfully broken and opened. White grinned pleasure.

Aya watched White from her room. Poo followed White's activities by accessing the surveillance cameras inside Pullau Villa. White's activities were predictable from the start. As soon as White's body temperature sensor disappeared from his room or suddenly, White's connection with Orange was cut off, Aya and Alex get alerts from their respective digital assistants.

"Coach Alex, what do we need to do?" asked Aya.

Älex grinned broadly. "Leave it first. We record the activity."

"Okay, Poo has recorded all of White's activities from the start with the camera in this house."

"Yes, good anticipation. Wow, look! He recorded your hologram. He is smart," said Alex praising White. Admittedly, White was not a foolish, arrogant Prince.

"Do I need to go there now and delete all data about me?" Aya asked.

"No need for now. Leave it first. We can take the portable projector and delete all the files later, "said Alex.

"Okay, copy."

White was busy browsing to check the contents of the computer. Alex's eyebrows moved up because he was disturbed. He did not like his house being ransacked without permission. For Alex, White acts had beyond his limit. White made Alex remember himself when he was a teenager. He could understand that White was brilliant over his age, bored, and maybe a little arrogant. Nevertheless, White still needed to know the rules. White needed to have a great lesson.

"Alpha, activate the combat mode on Drone No. 45. Change the status invisible to visible. Prince White is the target. Use rubber bullets. Shoot with 50% accuracy. Navigate to non-vital body areas. Corner the target into the combat training room. Hold the target in the room," ordered Alex.

At the corner of Alex's office ceiling, a drone floated and was active in an invisible form. The drone started activating his combat weapon and directed it to Prince White. The drone revealed itself. The light suddenly lights up, and the alarm from the drone sounds loud.

Warning sounds from drones appear repeatedly. "Target, stop the actions of intruders. Action, activate the shotgun. Warning, the shot starts in three, two, one ... "

White was shocked and jumped from the chair. "Wh ... what is ...?"

White couldn't finish his sentence because the drone suddenly appeared before he had fired a continuous bullet attack at him. White ran and avoided the drone, try saving himself.

"Whoaaaaaa ...." White screamed, jumping, avoiding the drone's attack.

Drone bullets repeatedly came like endless. White must immediately get out of this room if he didn't want to have a hole like a honeycomb.

"Enough! Hey!" cried White. But the No 45 drone did not react to White's shout.

White took the flower vase on the table and threw it at the drone. The shot from the drone paused. Drone 45 avoided the vase and adjusted the focus again to find the target.

White used this opportunity to slip out of the office. He slammed the door behind him, hoping the door was locked automatically. The door was closed, and the atmosphere was quiet again. White sat behind a large flower pot. He looked back with gasps. What was this? Why was there an invisible drone hunting in the house? What was this house actually? Even the palace’s security level was not as tight as this house! For the first time in his life, White faced directly with a combat drone.

Suddenly, the door opened, and Drone No. 45 floated out, then pointed the gun's muzzle towards the flower pot and started shooting. Okay, this was serious! This was really dangerous! White must move quickly to save himself. The owner of this house was really crazy. White was not sure what he was actually dealing with. Did the house owner was lunatic?

White turned around and ran as fast as he could. Drone No. 45 continued to chase White at high speed. White tried to open the door after the door he passed, but every door was locked. White ran down the stairs and tried to get out of the house. The main door was also locked. Panic, White tried to open each door in vain. Drone No. 45 slowed his movements and was seen scanning to find White's location. Near the end of the corridor was a door that turned out to be unlocked. White ran into it and tried to lock it from inside.

The room was large enough, and White fumbled for the wall. In the darkness, White leaned against the wall and slumped to the floor. His breath was still panting, and his heart was pounding. He never had a thrilling experienced like this in his life. He was indeed trained to have martial arts, but this drone's speed and intelligence were beyond his expectations. When White was still down and trying to calm down, the lights in the room suddenly brightly lit up. When White lifted his face, many drones had surrounded him from various directions by pointing guns.

"Damn it!" White swore.

White, with a frightened face, raised his trembling hand above. Sweat poured from his forehead, and his heartbeat rapidly.

"I give up! I lose! Hey, Alex! Do you hear? ALEEEX!!!" shouted Prince White desperately. Tears flowed from his eyes without him noticing.

Alex and Aya opened the door and came close to White. Alex's face was delighted, and he had a triumphant smile.

"Sorry, Your Royal Highness. It looks like this time I won again. Give your portable projector tool now. Remove all Aya’s images from your equipment. If there is still image data left, these drones immediately shoot you with 100% accuracy. I suggest you delete the data right now. "

"Okay, okay. Give me time," White replied.

White knew this threat was real. Alex was really a control freak and an overprotective person. This time White admitted he lost. His abilities with Alex were very different. There was a huge gap between their abilities. White deleted Aya’s data on his portable projector, also on other devices. White knew it was useless to hide anything in Alex's territory. White deleted all of Aya's data in panic. He showed it to Alex.

"That's all. Are you satisfy now?" said White pale.

"Yes," Alex answered briefly.
