The so-called security of the castle will be relaxed before the Nicholas family meeting is actually relatively speaking. At least based on what Xiao Ping sees now, the castle is still very tightly guarded.
Although the castle has hundreds of years of history, it is equipped with high-tech equipment. Xiao Ping discovered that many surveillance probes were installed on the castle, pointing in all directions. Many surveillance probes are still rotating slowly, monitoring the grassland around the castle in all directions. Anyone trying to cross the meadow into the castle is bound to be photographed by these cameras.
In addition to these probes that can monitor the entire grassland, there are also guards with dogs patrolling the grassland. As long as someone enters the grassland, they will be discovered by these guards. Even if the guards miss the intruder, the well-trained police dogs they lead can detect the enemy and alert their owners in time.
¡°Anyway, the security system of the Nicholas family castle is very complete, and it is almost impossible for outsiders to break in. Elena said that she was only discovered when she was less than a hundred meters away from the castle. In Xiao Ping's view, this was already a very remarkable achievement. In fact, if an ordinary person had come here, he would have been discovered as soon as he stepped onto the lawn.
But Xiao Ping is not an ordinary person. Such strict security measures will indeed cause him some trouble, but they cannot prevent him from entering the castle. Xiao Ping waited patiently in the woods until midnight, and then started taking action without hesitation.
Speaking of which, Xiao Ping¡¯s method of dealing with these security measures is very simple, it¡¯s just the word ¡°quick¡±. He had calculated accurately during the day that the guards with dogs would appear every fifteen minutes, between patrols. The guard and the dog's gaze lasted about three minutes, unable to take care of the area in front of Xiao Ping.
And in these three minutes. The surveillance probe on the castle will turn to this direction twice. There was only about fifty seconds for Xiao Ping to take action.
And the distance from the woods where Xiao Ping is hiding to the castle. It's at least a kilometer away. The world record for men's 400 meters is more than 40 seconds, which means that no one can run from the woods to the castle in such a short time.
"However, the people who originally designed the entire security system did not expect that there would be such a thing as a demon refining pot in the world. Naturally, they did not expect that someone could run a kilometer in less than half a minute.
"As for the dogs brought by the guards, Xiao Ping also has a way to deal with them. He carried with him Lucky and Spotted urine from the Demon Refining Pot and carefully smeared it on the soles of his shoes. With the urine of beasts as cover. It can cover up Xiao Ping's smell, and maybe scare the courage of these police dogs.
After making all preparations, Xiao Ping carefully calculated the time, and then rushed towards the castle like an arrow from a string. Xiao Ping in the darkness was as quiet as a gust of wind, not alerting anyone at all. At this time, Xiao Ping used his speed to the extreme. In just over thirty seconds, he ran a distance of more than 1,300 meters and arrived outside the castle wall.
Xiao Ping hid in the shadows outside the castle, waiting for the patrolling guards to pass close to him. Just as Xiao Ping calculated. After a minute, the guard with the dog slowly appeared in his field of vision.
The police dog obviously smelled the scent left by Xiao Ping, and immediately changed from a very calm demeanor to very uneasy. This is also an instinctive reaction of animals, after all, no matter how well-trained the police dog is. Everyone is afraid of beasts. What Xiao Ping wiped on the soles of his shoes was the urine of lions and jaguars, which would undoubtedly make the police dogs feel very uneasy. Of course, the uneasy police dog ignored the scent left by Xiao Ping. There is no "stranger intruder" signal to the owner.
The guard holding the dog also noticed that the situation was somewhat abnormal, and he observed his surroundings with vigilance. But nothing was found. The alert guard also contacted the control room, who also told him that everything was normal. This made the guard sigh in relief. He comforted the obviously frightened police dog, barely calmed it down, and then led the dog away.
Xiao Ping had been hiding in the dark and observing the other party's situation. It was not until the guard left with the dog that he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that his strategy was successful, and this time Spot and Luck had done a great job.
However, Xiao Ping was not complacent because of this. After the guard walked away, he immediately started to take action, grabbing the uneven part of the castle's outer wall and climbing up like a gecko.
Relying on his extraordinary arm strength and flexibility, Xiao Ping quickly climbed up the outer wall of the castle. He carefully avoided the gazes of surveillance cameras and guards along the way, and in a blink of an eye he arrived at a place three stories high. Only from this position do windows begin to appear on the outer walls of the castle. In fact, just over half a meter away to Xiao Ping's right, there was a small window large enough for an adult to pass through.
Xiao Ping stretched out his hand and climbed to the window,Suddenly I found that the window was blocked by an iron fence made of steel bars as thick as my fingers. Of course, this was not a problem for Xiao Ping. He grabbed the steel bar with both hands and pulled hard, creating a gap enough for him to pass through, and then easily got through.
After getting into the window, Xiao Ping officially entered the castle. In order not to attract other people's attention, he did not forget to put the iron fence back into place. Only Xiao Ping could complete this series of actions so easily, and it would definitely not be possible for anyone else.
"Completely different from the tense atmosphere outside the castle where there are numerous security guards and surveillance cameras circling around, the inside of the castle is very quiet with almost no one moving around.
The Nicholas Family Castle has always adhered to the security concept of "tight on the outside and loose on the inside". The security measures outside the castle are very strict, but they are much more relaxed inside the castle. After all, those who are eligible to live in the castle are the core members of the family. These big men don't want to be monitored and restricted everywhere in the castle, which is no different from going to jail.
What's more, Nicholas's family meeting has not yet been held, and the bodyguards of the core family figures have not followed, so the security in the castle has become even more lax.
So after Xiao Ping entered the castle, he did not encounter any questioning at all. Based on the castle floor plan provided by Elena in his memory, he walked down three flights of stairs and soon found his destination, a cellar used for storing sundries.
Except for a few special days of the year, few people come to this cellar. For Xiao Ping, this is a good hiding place. He planned to hide in this place in the past few days until the day when the Nicholas family meeting was officially held.
Unlike Elena¡¯s plan to plant a bug, Xiao Ping plans to personally ¡°participate¡± in the Nicholas family meeting. Although the risk of doing so is greater, it makes it easier for Xiao Ping to adjust his plan at any time based on the specific situations that occur at the meeting. And now Xiao Ping has various ways to defend himself, including poison sacs and golden fruits, so he really doesn't take most threats to heart.
There are not any valuable items in this cellar, so there is no lock on the door, just a simple latch lock. Xiao Ping easily entered the room and used a steel wire from the inside to push the outside latch back into place, so that no one could see any clues from the outside.
Xiao Ping found a more comfortable place to sit down in the cellar. After looking around for a while, he let out a sigh of relief. He would spend the next few days here. Xiao Ping will stay here until the Nicholas family meeting, and then go to the family meeting room located above the third floor to see what conspiracy the other party's core members plan to use against him.
Lurking in a castle for a few days is easy to say, but not so easy to do. Not to mention anything else, just eating, drinking and drinking these past few days is a big problem. After all, even with Xiao Ping's skills, it is not easy to sneak into the castle lightly. There is no need to carry a big bag of food and drink into the castle, right? That would stop being espionage and become a weekend outing.
" But since Xiao Ping has the Demon Refining Pot with him, these are not problems at all. In the past few days, he had eaten well and rested well. Apart from the uncomfortable sleeping place, he had nothing to complain about.
A few days passed quickly, and Xiao Ping's latent operation went smoothly. Only once during this period did two castle servants come to the cellar to get some items, but they did not find Xiao Ping who had been hiding for a long time. Finally, when the day came for the Nicholas family meeting, Xiao Ping used a wire to unlock the latch on the door and came outside quietly.
According to the information given by Elena, every family meeting will be held in the castle hall on the fourth floor of the castle. Xiao Ping carefully moved up to the fourth floor of the castle according to the castle floor plan he had memorized in his mind.
Because the core members of the Nicholas family have arrived, the security in the castle is much tighter now than when Xiao Ping first sneaked into the castle a few days ago. Along the way, Xiao Ping encountered several groups of patrolling guards. If he hadn't been agile enough, he would have been discovered.
And the security inside the castle is so tight, not to mention the situation outside. This also made Xiao Ping secretly glad that he had entered the castle a few days in advance. If he had started taking action now, even he would not be sure that he would be able to enter.
Xiao Ping successfully reached the third floor of the castle. From here on, it was already the core area of ??the castle, and the guards became increasingly tight. He followed a patrolling guard and looked for an opportunity to knock the guy down. Xiao Ping dragged the man into a nearby room, changed his clothes, and came out swaggeringly. As for the guard, Xiao Ping stuffed him into a closet in the room. If he was lucky, he might wake up on his own tomorrow.
After wearing the uniform of a guard, Xiao Ping's movements became much easier. He made his way to the fourth floor of the castle without any hindrance, and was already within a stone's throw of the castle hall. (To be continued)
