Spy-x-War Showdown

Being short-staffed is indeed inconvenient, but even so, Yang Yi hadn’t thought of asking Mike or Brian for help. Since he had decided not to use them, he was determined to handle the situation perfectly and beautifully himself.

Kate was waiting in Martin Howard’s house. Tang Guo and Schultz had to meet up with Kate, then head to the Imperial College supercomputing center, whereas Yang Yi and Xiao Ran were of course going straight to the Home Office building.

However, when Yang Yi was assigning tasks, Tang Guo had a different opinion.

"How about I go with you two to the Home Office? Black Lightning can go to the supercomputing center alone, using the supercomputer is just to hack into the Home Office’s system. As for receiving data and analysis, anyone can do it, and of course Black Lightning is no exception."

It was clear Tang Guo had discussed this with Schultz, because right after Tang Guo finished, Schultz immediately said, "That’s right, I can do it by myself."

Yang Yi frowned and asked, "Why do you insist on going to the Home Office?"

With a hint of excitement, Tang Guo said, "Because you need me. Someone has to watch the monitors for you. With me there, I can help you avoid the nighttime guards’ line of sight, and I can turn off the cameras for you, so you won’t be recorded while you’re moving around."

Schultz laughed and said, "We recorded lots of videos last night. While you’re in action, we can just replace the live feed with the recordings from last night. That way, even if someone is watching the monitors, they won’t notice you."

The idea did sound tempting, but Yang Yi frowned and said, "But to do all this, you could do it from anywhere, right? Whether you’re at the supercomputing center or you’ve followed us to the Home Office, it doesn’t matter, even if you stayed at home it wouldn’t affect anything."

Tang Guo said urgently, "But the Imperial College is too far from the Home Office, and the radio signals can’t transmit that far. Do you expect us to stay on the phone the whole time?"

The communication range of the radio was indeed a problem, being too far would require relay conduction, or manual relay of messages, such as Tang Guo watching the monitors and relaying what she sees to Xiao Ran, and then Xiao Ran telling Yang Yi, but this would surely be too inefficient.
