New York is okay today?

Chapter 3

She briefly spaced out, blinking her eyes a few seconds later and resignedly began to look around for a place to leave her body.

However, her question was not completely resolved: "What if I get fatally injured?"

"You'll die," New York's attitude was cold.

But perhaps to not scare away such a rare laborer, he added, "But I can immediately rebuild a new body for you."

Great, resurrecting at full health on the spot after death.

"And weapons?"

"Everywhere there is weapons there."

Laleye walked into the women's restroom of the mall. She figured she might lose consciousness for a while later, and apart from the restroom, there wasn't much else nearby where she could faint for hours without being noticed.

When she heard this, she had just opened the stall door and reacted, only then understanding what New York meant.

So, in your eyes, the security team is a walking arsenal! Knocking out one and becoming rich overnight, is that it!

Now there was only one last question left.

Laleye locked the stall door, took a deep breath, "I haven't practiced shooting."

New York's answers had been particularly heartless from the start, the earlier adorable ferocity disappeared without a trace, and now he was the same, "As long as you have hands."

He said, "I'll be watching you."

"Deal," Laleye said.

As soon as she finished speaking, her consciousness was suddenly ripped away from her body.

One moment she saw herself falling softly to the ground, and the next moment she was floating above the stall, her field of vision instantly encompassing everything around her, countless details vividly present in her consciousness.

Faint golden light floated out of the air, gathering around Laleye's consciousness, and she once again felt her body, lowered her head, and squeezed her fingers, feeling the surge of power between her delicate fingers.

If it was like this... it should work.

Laleye sensed it, estimated it was feasible, let go of her hand, turned around to straighten her slouched body, and looked at the unfamiliar face that was still unfamiliar to her, then turned to look at the narrow stall, considering how to get out now.

"Jump out," New York seemed to guess her thoughts, his voice directly echoing in Laleye's consciousness.

All their communication was done within their consciousness, time slowing down here while outside it was just a moment.

Laleye obediently nodded, slightly crouched, and leaped up violently.

A gust of wind surged around her, lifting her body effortlessly and sending her out of the stall. On her right was a window, unlike the hot wind commonly seen in summer, the wind coming in from outside the window carried a refreshing coolness that washed away the dry heat.

"Turn right, climb onto the window sill, crawl five meters to the right, and jump down," New York issued the next instruction, it seemed he intended to guide Laleye all the way to the mission location.

In an instant, Laleye suddenly understood what New York's inexplicable words meant.

Indeed, this was not a difficult task, New York just needed someone to help him, and his request to her was simple.

The beginner's guide she wanted was now online, and in Laleye's imagination, the control panel lit up. With a "ding," a new task appeared in the list:

【Reward Task Updated】

【Task Name: Shadow in the Ventilation Duct】

【Task Difficulty: Unknown】

【Task Objective: Provide cover for the target hiding in the ventilation duct to escape】

【Task Description: Save the child!】

【Task Reward: Location of the hidden bodies】

【Task Status: Pending】

【Instance "Breakthrough of 610 Lexington Avenue" is open】

She jumped out of the window, and almost simultaneously, a small floating window appeared in the upper right corner of her field of view. The streets of New York were outlined with lines, and a small blue dot slowly moved on the map. As she descended, the map shifted from a two-dimensional top-down view to a three-dimensional side view.

Laleye marveled, "You can also control my field of view."

New York explained, "After all, the body you're using now is created by me."

Having a map made things much more convenient, not to mention having New York to guide her, it was no different from using a map navigation system. Moreover, this navigation system was well-informed about real-time traffic conditions. For example, he knew exactly which routes could avoid all the surveillance in the city, and all Laleye had to do was hop like a frog.

Soon, Laleye discovered that all the data of the body she was using now far exceeded that of an ordinary person. Even without the blessing of the city's consciousness, she could easily surpass trained special forces. And because the body was directly controlled by consciousness, there was no situation of inaccurate movements. In fact, control was even more precise. If Laleye wanted to jump three meters, she would never jump three meters and one centimeter.

"Turn left, run over there."

"Stop here for a moment, then jump to the opposite rooftop in three seconds."

"Go down the fire escape and walk out of the alley."

"There are three people ahead, throw a soda can to distract them."

New York calmly guided Laleye through the city, and Laleye dutifully followed all his instructions. Before long, she heard New York say, "This is it."

Laleye looked up and saw the towering skyscraper in front of the narrow alleyway, a small golden waypoint hovering over the top of the building, moving up and down.

The stage objective was updated accordingly.

【Infiltrate the 50th floor of the building】

"What do I do next?" Laleye could already vaguely see the chaotic scene inside the building and the armed guards blocking the entrance.

"Go over and kill them?" New York suggested uncertainly.

Laleye: "…"

She suddenly realized that New York might not really know what to do either, so he could only speculate. Perhaps he thought rescuing the person was as simple as rushing in and knocking down all the guards…

"Is there no breach on the first floor?" Laleye turned around and went to the back of the building.

"No breach on the first floor, all breaches are covered by surveillance," New York said.

"Can you help me mark the surveillance range and blind spots?"

New York didn't answer, but in an instant, Laleye's field of view changed. A light blue fan-shaped area spread out around the building, and yellow humanoid silhouettes could faintly be seen passing through the windows. Weapons were marked out in a more conspicuous red color.

Counting upwards, Laleye found a window on the eighth floor that was not covered by surveillance. She avoided the light blue range, moved forward intermittently, and found a wall that was not covered by the blue light. "Can I climb up here?"

"You wanna try?" New York encouraged.

By the time he answered, Laleye had already started climbing up. With the help of the wind and all the footholds marked by New York, she quickly climbed to the eighth floor.

A security guard stood guard at the window on the eighth floor. Following New York's instructions, Laleye waited for a few seconds, then flipped into the window from above, swiftly incapacitating the guard and conveniently avoiding the surveillance camera in the distance.

She placed the guard under the window sill, trying to avoid angles that might be observed. New York also changed her appearance, disguising Laleye as a security guard, swaggering towards the direction of the surveillance camera.

The body shaped by the city's consciousness evidently had no fixed form, and it could be adjusted as needed. As Laleye ran out of this corridor, she happened to step on the edge of the blue range. Light flooded her vision, and the scene ahead became clear. At the same time, she heard the sound of hurried footsteps not far away. She turned her head and saw a team of heavily armed personnel running towards the direction of the elevator.

"Where are they going?" Laleye asked.
