As she spoke, she opened the door of the food storage, where Chihiro and Masa were busily placing a bunch of things at the back of the storage.
The League Secretary looked down and noticed that the floor there was different from other places in the food warehouse.
"what happened?"
"I'll tell you later. Anyway, I just sealed off a passage leading to our secret base."
As Masha spoke, he moved a pile of empty boxes over to cover the last bit of exposed floor.
Then he took the chair and used the tool man's crown to change his profession to a painter. With a bucket of paint and a brush in his hand, he quickly painted the wires connected from the wall to the ground the same color as the wall.
He asked the League Secretary: "Do you think this is obvious?"
The league secretary took a closer look and said, "If I hadn't seen you paint it, I don't think I would have seen that there was a problem. I mean, I wouldn't have noticed it."
"very good!"
Masha returned to his original form and got off the stool. The two of them hurriedly put the remaining things back in place, then rushed out of the food warehouse and headed upstairs.
The League Secretary turned off the lights in the food warehouse, closed the door, then carefully pushed it back and gradually disappeared into the shadows.

Shelley looked carefully inside the car but didn't see anything wrong.
According to the intelligence, the carriage possessed by the military horse's magic weapon should be connected to a huge space at the rear, but the carriage of this car does not look like it is connected to a huge space.
——Logically speaking, it is not possible to leave the magic weapon you rely on to escape in the garage.
Shelley thought so, retracted his head, and looked around again.
Not one person.
——Am I being overly suspicious? Why do I always feel like something is wrong?
——Forget it, let’s go check the food warehouse. They’ve been watching closely today, so I haven’t been able to go in to check.
Shelley pushed the door of the food storage room - it was not locked.
——If it’s not locked, there shouldn’t be any secrets inside, right?
She glanced at the pitch-dark food warehouse, took out a miniature low-light night vision goggles - which looked like a pair of glasses - and put them on her nose.
——There doesn’t seem to be anything wrong with the food storage.
——Let’s go and have a look at the other rooms.
So Shelley checked the other rooms one by one, but found nothing interesting except that one room had an anti-eavesdropping facility like a Faraday cage built in it.
——Is this really a maid shop?
During the day, Shelley went to the second, third and fourth floors and found an excuse to take a look around, but he also didn't find anything unusual.
In this way, she had explored all the floors of the maid shop.
——After that, as long as we meet everyone who should be in the store at this moment, the raid will be over.
Thinking this, Shelley shouted at the top of his voice to the stairs: "Hey! Is anyone there?"
Then Cai Shi's voice came: "Yes. Is this voice Shelley?"
"It's me. Your back door isn't locked! How dangerous!"
"Hey, it's not locked?" Cai Shi asked in surprise, "League Secretary, who was the last one to come out of the back door?"
Then the League Secretary’s voice: “I don’t remember…”
Shelley started climbing the stairs at this time, and her pace was very fast. She was going to rush directly to the third floor without giving the opposite side a chance to stop her.
But just as she reached the second floor, Masha's voice came from the third floor: "Who's here?"
Then, Masha, Chihiro and Guigui all came down from the third floor.
Shelley looked at the three people who suddenly appeared, changed her mind, and went straight to the store on the second floor, only to find that Cai Shi and the league secretary were also staying inside.
Masha came up behind her and asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Miss Shelley, why do you look so serious?"
----
It’s the fifth update, and I still owe 50 chapters.
go to bed.
I hope to wake up earlier tomorrow and not wake up at almost 11 o'clock again.
Chapter 294: Miss, do you know the principle of selling crutches? (Update )
"Nothing," Shelley said with a smile, "I forgot my sketchbook here. I'll go up and get it."
Masha nodded and gestured for everyone to make way.
Shelley immediately rushed to the fourth floor.
When passing the third floor, she deliberately made her "turning radius" larger and took the opportunity to observe the situation on the third floor.
As a result, she found that there was nothing unusual on the third and fourth floors, and the other party did not even catch up, allowing Shelley to freely walk around the fourth floor, and when she went downstairs, she had enough time to confirm the situation on the third floor again.
There is absolutely nothing unusual.
Shelley took the picture album and went downstairs, where Masha and the others were waiting for her.
Masha looked at Shelley and asked, "Now, you suspect that I am the mastermind behind the attack on Langley, right?"
Shelley stopped walking down the stairs and looked at Masha suspiciously, wondering why he suddenly mentioned this.
Masha continued, "If I am really the mastermind behind this, wouldn't it be dangerous for you to rush over like this?"
Shelley smiled and said, "If I hadn't gone back, it would have proven that you were the mastermind. As an agent, it would be worth it for me to sacrifice my life to expose the villain."
"That's true." Masha also laughed, and said in a joking tone, "But, what if I, the mastermind behind this, have the ability to brainwash people? You are British, you should watch Doctor Who, no, you must watch Doctor Who, there is no British who doesn't watch Doctor Who. There is a villain in Doctor Who who will hypnotize the target like this..."
Masha took out the pocket watch - this was actually Chihiro's COS prop, she had dressed up as Laplace in men's clothing before - as soon as he let go, the pocket watch fell down and was pulled by the watch chain again.
Masha swung the pocket watch back and forth, still maintaining a joking tone: "Looking at this pocket watch, your subconscious mind is disturbed, you are hypnotized, and you will unconsciously act according to my instructions. You yourself will not even realize that you are hypnotized. Have you never thought about this kind of plot development, Miss Agent?"
At this time, the scene from Shelley's perspective is like this:
Masha was holding a pocket watch that was swinging like a pendulum, with an evil smile on his face. Although his tone was still joking and teasing, the sarcasm in it was obvious.
In Shelley's eyes, the girls around Masha all had intriguing expressions on their faces. The "magical girl" Lin Qianxun raised the corner of her mouth slightly, and her narrowed eyes seemed to be judging the value of the prey in front of her. The "Sword Fairy" Cai Shi looked together and lamented Shelley's fate. Although the expression of "League Secretary" Fang Qiuyi could not show any emotions, it was also quite subtle.
As for the ordinary person Su Xiaogui, she was completely confused. It was obvious that some mechanism in her brain had been triggered, and everything that happened now would not enter her memory.
At this moment, Shelley had a strong feeling that he had been tricked.
**
But in fact, Masha did nothing. He just shook the pocket watch in his hand to be mysterious.
This was the plan that Masha came up with in a short period of time.
The other party obviously has some degree of fear towards the King in Yellow. These intelligence agencies may have a very high opinion of the King in Yellow and they may think that the King in Yellow is a dangerous character.
So Masha believes that this fear should be taken advantage of.
Masha has checked the archives of the office with a very long name. Among those with super powers, in addition to cognitive interference, there are also memetic contamination abilities. In Masha's view, these are hypnosis.
So he acted out this scene.
He intended to use this trick to sow a rift between Shelley and the British intelligence agency - as long as Shelley reported this experience, her superiors would definitely not be able to continue to fully trust her.
Regardless of the use of this kind of suspicion, we should seize the opportunity to implant the cracks first.
Maybe it will come in handy in the future.
Go masters often place pieces in completely blank spaces, without really calculating how many moves it will take before the piece can be used. After all, humans are not Arfa Dogs.
This kind of move is called idle chess.
A founding leader in charge of intelligence whom Masha admired very much was a master of "playing idle chess" and often made seemingly useless arrangements. Most of them were really useless, but as long as one of them was useful, it would bear fruit.
Masha also wants to play some chess. Anyway, I have put down my chess pieces first. We will see whether I will need them in the future or not.
What he didn't expect was that intelligence agencies around the world would have an extremely high opinion of him.
He didn't expect that Johnny in the United States had already concluded that "the King in Yellow has the ability to pollute memes", nor did he expect that the British girl in front of him had just said to her superior that "the King in Yellow is extremely smart and dangerous."
According to Masha's own idea, the next development should be like this: the British girl was frustrated and depressed because her superiors did not trust her, and then Masha took advantage of the opportunity.
That's the most.
——I just took a prop pocket watch, shook it, and said some mysterious lines.
——This is the effect that can be achieved!
So when he saw Shelley frowning and cursing, "How long are you going to be stupid?", Masha put away his pocket watch and spread his hands, "It's just a joke. Maybe I really can fool you. After all, as the King in Yellow, I used to fool people with long names."
Shelley snorted and said, "Although Her Majesty the Queen can no longer rule the world, our intelligence agencies are still world-class. We will not be fooled by you. I am leaving."
"Oh, bye, Miss James Shelley." Marsha made a 007 joke. After all, half of the reputation of British spies was created by the 007 series.
Shelley was about to go downstairs, but when he heard this, he turned around and looked at Masha, and said, "Bye, you pork-eater with a snorting beard."
—Yeah? She picked up the gag!
"You also watched Chinese Zodiac Signs. I declare that Ravenclaw gets 10 points more."
Qianxun complained: "Why is she a Ravenclaw? Gryffindor, with a lion as its symbol, can better represent Britain, right?"
"Oh, yes, indeed. Ravenclaw wants smart children, and Gryffindor values courage more. The Sorting Hat will not sort Miss 007 into Ravenclaw. Sorry, I was wrong."
By this time, Shelley had already gone downstairs. He ignored Masha's chatter and went out directly.
**
Shelley walked quickly down the road.
——Finally, his and the "magical girl"'s concerted action was definitely planned in advance. They were laughing at my stupidity because I had already fallen into their trap!
——I don’t know if the wave monitoring has detected any waves, but if the King in Yellow’s attack on Langley will not cause any waves, then he probably won’t need to implant something in my head!
——Something must have been implanted in my head!
Shelley rushed into the Joint Surveillance Headquarters, rushed up to the British floor, flung open the door, and rushed in and shouted: "W! I need a psychological evaluation!"
"Close the door first." W reminded her as he came out of his office. "What happened?"
Shelley closed the door, took two steps at a time and came to W, saying hurriedly, "The King in Yellow may have used his power to implant something in my head. I request confinement and a psychological evaluation! Don't leak anything in front of me, anything!"

Everyone is Dihua!
Chapter 295: Out of Nothingness (Part )
Mr. W said kindly, "Calm down and sit down. I have some freshly brewed Earl Grey tea."
As he said this, he made way and gestured for you to come in.
Shelley entered Mr. W's office, sat down, picked up the teapot, poured himself a cup of Earl Grey tea, and then drank it in one gulp.
Freshly brewed Earl Grey tea is, of course, hot, but as an Englishman, Shelley has the special ability that all Englishmen have: he cannot be burned by black tea brewed at the correct temperature.
Mr. W closed the door, walked behind his desk, leaned back in his chair, and crossed his hands on his stomach.
"Tell me, what happened?"
Shelley told everything that happened to her in the maid shop.
Mr. W frowned. "Shelley, look at me, stare at me. Then answer my question. How long do you think you were in the maid shop?"
"Ten minutes, or fifteen."
Mr. W said with a serious expression: "Our surveillance shows that you stayed in there for 20 minutes."
Shelley looked shocked.
"Of course, this is still within the range of somatosensory time error..."
"Impossible, my sense of time has always been accurate, this must be because of something he did to me!"
"I said, this is within the normal range of physical error. We can't be sure what he has really done. Calm down first. Regardless of whether the King in Yellow is planning something or not, your current state will only make it easier for him to achieve his goal."
As he spoke, Mr. W personally poured Shelley a cup of tea.
