Danger 049
After illegally entering the house, Zhang Jin quickly changed into a black outfit he had bought from the system store. He then carefully looked out the window to make sure no one would see him. After roughly studying the mini-map of the system, he finally made up his mind and suddenly opened the window and rushed out.
Zhang Jin wore a black outfit that was naturally the best he could wear at his current 18th level, and it was also the most suitable equipment for tonight's operation.

Despite the police cars and officers swarming around the hijacked building; despite the various lights illuminating the surrounding area as bright as daylight; despite the large crowd of onlookers and police making it seem like every movement would be visible to the countless eyes present. However, except for a few people who thought they were seeing things, no one noticed that at the moment when the police and hijackers were in a stalemate, a black shadow darted out from a window on the third floor of the residential building next to the hijacked building, crossing over ten meters in an instant, and plunged into an open window on the third floor of the hijacked building without any downward momentum. The entire process was as swift as a peregrine falcon's attack, yet made no sound of breaking air or landing, truly a masterful display of stealth.
With Zhang Jin's current agility of 35 points (initial 10 points, Huahua Shenfa 5th level (4 levels self-cultivation, 1 level for suit effect) 25 points), plus the 250% bonus from the 5th level Huahua Shenfa, it is equivalent to an agility effect of 87.5. Adding the 21 agility points from the Meihua Dao Ye Xing suit, that's nearly a hundred agility effects. According to Zhang Jin's calculations, 10 agility points are already Olympic-level speed, let alone Zhang Jin's tenfold agility in this pounce, which is simply exaggerated, so it's no wonder people who saw it thought it was an illusion!
The room where Zhang Jinluo fell was a small room of only about ten or twenty square meters, with various cleaning tools such as brooms, mops and buckets scattered around, and a narrow bed and several small chairs against the wall. It's not hard to guess that this is a janitor's rest room.
Zhang Jin, who had fallen into the room, did not sneak in like a thief as depicted in the movies. Instead of quietly observing his surroundings before taking action, he stood up without hesitation as soon as he landed, completely disregarding the light coming through the window behind him that exposed him entirely. He even carelessly pulled over a chair and sat down heavily.
"Deep breaths... deep breaths... calm down... calm down a bit." Zhang Jin muttered to himself as he tried to soothe his heart that was about to jump out. It could be seen that this guy, Zhang Jin, actually wasn't as calm and collected as he seemed. The reason why Zhang Jin entered the room without any hesitation was because from the small map, he had already known that there was no one in this room at all. Even the closest person around was still a good ten meters away.
After a while, Zhang Jin finally calmed down and reopened the system's mini-map for further study.
On the small map, there are seventy-nine white bright spots in the entire building, each representing a person. Among them, sixty-eight bright spots are densely concentrated in a small space on the fifth floor of the building, and the other eleven bright spots are wandering in a small range at several locations on various floors.
After counting the white dots on the small map, Zhang Jin couldn't help but ask in his heart: "Damn it! Are those media and police all idiots? They said that six robbers participated this time! Damn it, there must be at least sixteen people!"
According to Zhang Jin's estimation, the fifty or so people concentrated on the fifth floor should be hostages and hijackers who were holding guns to guard these hostages. And the eleven others who could still wander along the corridor without any worries in this situation must be the hijackers' patrol guards!
And Zhang Jin was certain that these eleven people were almost impossible to be special police who infiltrated here with the intention of rescuing. After all, have you ever seen a special police officer who has infiltrated and rescued, having the mood and time to stroll slowly in the corridors on each floor? And not only that, but also walking in the middle of the corridor, not sticking to the wall?
After muttering a few curses under his breath, Zhang Jin thought for another brief moment. Taking a deep breath, he stood up and crept towards the door on tiptoes. In fact, thanks to the special effect of the 'Plum Blossom Thief's Night Boots', as long as he didn't intentionally stomp his feet, he wouldn't make any sound that could be heard by human ears. However, Zhang Jin was so nervous that he completely forgot about this, and ended up looking like Zhou Bapi stealing a chicken - head lowered, waist bent, toes curled...
In this environment that should be almost pitch black, with the help of the Night Vision +3 from the Plum Blossom Thief's night travel hat, combined with his already high 10-point perception, Zhang Jing's field of vision was like a normal person's in the outdoors at dusk. Although his visual acuity was still far from being able to see every detail, it was enough for him to move about unimpeded. Furthermore, with the help of the system's mini-map, if Zhang Jing was careful enough, these advantages were already sufficient for him to navigate through this deeply hidden crisis-filled building as if he had a map cheat, having a complete view of all paths and room layouts.
Coming out of the cleaner's rest area and walking three or four meters to the right, then turning five or six meters is the fire door of the fire passage. If Zhang Jin wants to go upstairs, if he doesn't take the elevator, he can only pass through here. Having watched many police and bandit films, Zhang Jin would not be stupid enough to take the elevator, so this naturally becomes his necessary route for going up.
After a few steps to the corner, Zhang Jin first carefully stretched out his head like a thief, wanting to observe the situation first. Because according to the map display, there is someone on guard again at the fire passage entrance here.
As soon as Zhang Jin's face appeared from the corner of the wall, he happened to see the fully armed thug guarding the fire passage turn his head in his direction. He hastily withdrew his head like being electrocuted.
He had just withdrawn his head, and Zhang Jin was only now reacting, unable to help but laugh at himself: "Hmph, what's there to be nervous about? This darkness is so thick that with my eyesight, I can barely make out the guy's facial features. That guy, in this situation, is probably as good as blind."
Just as Zhang Jin's sense of superiority was starting to calm his nerves, his slightly relaxed face suddenly turned even uglier: "No way, according to the mini-map I saw earlier, this guy absolutely didn't leave that fire escape door more than two meters away?"
But it turned out that whether it was the footsteps heard by the ears or the system's mini-map, which had never been closed, showed that the guy who had just been secretly ridiculed for being blind with his eyes open had actually come over.
"Been discovered?" This was Zhang Jin's first reaction, cold sweat instantly covering his entire face, his heart racing wildly, his body temperature also rising sharply, and his throat was dry and itchy.
Although Zhang Jin's current strength is already considered top-notch compared to anyone, his mental state is obviously still far from that level. Moreover, this is also his first time experiencing such a situation.
Suddenly, Zhang Jin's mind was filled with tension, confusion, fear, and regret. It wasn't until two seconds later that he heard the person still walking towards him, but their footsteps hadn't changed pace or tone. Zhang Jin barely calmed down, thinking to himself, "It seems like this guy hasn't discovered me?" With a hint of relief, he quietly retreated backwards, his footsteps light and cautious.
Just as he was about to enter the janitor's rest room, Zhang Jin was still secretly congratulating himself on his calmness. Suddenly, a terrifying feeling like being stared at by a cat as a mouse instantly attacked Zhang Jin's heart, and his entire spine felt like it had been sprayed with liquid nitrogen, instantly becoming cool and refreshing. All the hairs on his body stood up instantly, and his pupils expanded to almost the same size as his eyes - danger!
