Why would he go to the trouble of flying the plane over?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In any case, the female agent had turned into the middle-aged Dr. Binoche, and was now on a litter. It was impossible for her to see what was happening outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, Luke closed the door and had the hypnotized pilot start flying again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sitting down next to the Baroness, he sent another message. “You can take a nap now, my dear Natasha.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Natalie rolled her eyes and closed them before she fell asleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke scanned the plane carefully to make sure that nothing was out of place, before he released a small amount of a wake-up agent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Baroness and the masked soldiers woke up one after another. They felt like they had just dozed off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking around the plane, the Baroness saw that everything was normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t dwell on it. It was normal for strike teams to take naps on the plane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Experienced veterans usually only adjusted their mindsets in the last half an hour to 15 minutes of a flight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they had to maintain vigilance on a flight, from anywhere between a couple of hours to over ten hours, they would be exhausted even before the start of the battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, they were returning to the base, so there was no need to be too nervous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She then looked at White Shadow, who was still sitting in a ‘meditation’ pose. She couldn’t help but curl her lip. What an odd ritual! Get stronger just by sitting around? That sounded ridiculous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, White Shadow was a firm believer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, the plane continued its uneventful journey, and none of the Cobra members suspected anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They arrived at the base, got off the plane, and locked Dr. Binoche up\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke sighed. The month he had spent hanging around outside hadn’t been a waste; otherwise, things wouldn’t have gone smoothly for him as White Shadow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He told the Baroness that he was going to train, but was stopped. “Let’s report what we gained from this operation to ‘the Doctor’ first. He’s quite interested in Dr. Binoche.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke simply hummed in agreement and followed the Baroness to the research division.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second in command at the base, ‘the Doctor,’ stayed in the research division and never came out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This ‘Doctor’ and the research division were the parts that Luke knew the least about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was impossible for the Trailblazer drones to follow White Shadow or the Baroness into the research division.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cobra’s technology wasn’t bad; security setup like metal detection and infrared scans were just the basics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not wanting to alert the enemy, Luke had only gotten the Trailblazers to check other places where the surveillance wasn’t as tight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, the second in command at the base, the Doctor, didn’t show up in front of the drones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, that was all before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke couldn’t use drones, but he could use his clone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There weren’t many women in this base, but there were more than 20 of them, and three could enter the research division.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as there was enough time, the Doctor and everything in this base would open their doors to Luke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Natasha? That wasn’t important.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wasn’t the real Dr. Binoche; she would rather die than give in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Space 2, Luke was also trying to get as much information out of Dr. Binoche as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This couldn’t be considered kidnapping or extortion. He wasn’t asking for details on the tech, but just enough to have a rough idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the time came, he would get Natasha to leak things bit by bit to distract the Doctor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking that, he and the Baroness entered the first metal door to the lab.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After taking an elevator down 50 meters, the door opened onto a straight passage, at the end of which was another metal door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walking to the door, Luke and the Baroness stood inside a bright red circular symbol on the ground – it looked like an abstract image of a snake head wearing glasses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two blue light beams shot out from hidden holes on both sides and scanned them from top to bottom. “Identity confirmed: White Shadow. Identity confirmed: Baroness.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The metal door slid open to reveal a spacious room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At one glance, Luke was certain that this wasn’t a lab, but more like a central control room or a data center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he wasn’t too unlucky, he should be able to get a lot of information on this North Pole base from here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t overly moved, however – he had just said that he wanted to swallow up this base perfectly, so he had to persevere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, even with all the information here, it was still only half of the base’s total value.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke had to admit that he really wanted this huge, underground secret base that had already been operating steadily for more than ten years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t have time to do manual labor himself; stealing something that was already available was definitely more cost-effective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These thoughts only flashed through his mind for a moment before they disappeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, he was White Shadow, a poker-faced man who rarely showed any emotions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he was already inside, he naturally had to be professional with his cosplay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It never hurt to be more careful; he didn’t want ‘his’ base to lose value points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Less than two minutes later, a door opened on one side of the room and a strange man walked in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had brown hair and wore a black leather half-mask which covered his face below his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a silver metal tube where the mouth was, which extended down to the neck. There was also a round black lens attached to the mask over the left eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re back. Did the mission go smoothly?” the man asked casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Baroness said, “Yes. Dr. Binoche is in our custody. You can interrogate her at any time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The masked man waved his hand. “Then that’s all. Anything else?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief hesitation, the Baroness said, “Let me remind you that it won’t be this easy the next time an expert whom you need help dealing with shows up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The masked man stared at her for a few seconds. “That’s not something you need to think about. You can go now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Baroness snorted and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke met the masked man’s gaze for a second before he turned around and followed her expressionlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the metal door closing behind them, a mocking expression flashed over the masked man’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>",1286,"2026-06-06T03:36:40.302Z",1,"novelbin.me","c4edbe2f64b6e8aa899b3683d3efa962c87c89de4ecc778a43542b0eda218944","super-detective-in-the-fictional-world-chapter-1854","super-detective-in-the-fictional-world-chapter-1852",2233,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsuper-detective-in-the-fictional-world-cover.jpg"]
